As usual everyone just lists whatever coins they have a personal financial interest in. It doesn't even matter what the original question was.

Is anyone working on releasing a Mac version of the wallet app? I've got the daemon working, but don't want to deal with building a distributable version of the wallet. OTOH If someone starts a bounty I'd willing to contribute.

Ok, I just added multiple views including the ability to filter the premined coins. Does it look ok?
It's really nice. Thank you. (sent you some DOGE, maybe they will be worth something someday : ) |

These pools are all scams, merge mining isn't currently possible with anything other than a few SHA256 coins.
UnitedScryptCoin and coins based on it such as HunterCoin are merge-mineable. If you believe it's a scam, then please explain your reasoning. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=353688.0 |

Between this and Peershares (currently hiring), there's a lot of money out there for working on Peercoin-related projects. peer4commit is a great way to jump in and get your feet wet.

Hi Gliss, I had a question about how you calculate prices. It looks like when there are several markets, you are calculating the average. I was wondering if it mike be better to use the median. That way if there is an extreme, like for example PPC at Vircurex going through the roof right now because people are using it to get around frozen BTC xfers, the prices on Coinmarketcap would more accurately reflect the center of the population. For example the price for PPC at Vircurex is about $4 right now. The price reported on coinmarketcap.com is $3.03. If you look at every exchange except Vircurex, the correct price is somewhere between $2.60-2.68. Using the median for price would "fix" this problem.
edit: looks like you are actually using a weighted mean. maybe use a weighted median instead?

I added a disclaimer for significantly premined coins
Thanks for doing this Gliss and in general for your site that I visit check nearly every day  I hope it's enough. Maybe you could do something like put the market cap of just the coins that do circulate in parenthesis next to the current numbers. |

It's easy to check. Open the debug window in the wallet app and type 'getcheckpoint'.

I'm not sure why you are posting this now. The difficulty is so screwed up that at the current rate at which blocks are being solved Auroracoin isn't going to reach 5400 for at least another 10 days.

I really appreciate Sunny's careful and conservative approach to the new version. I just wish he had also included cold-locking. I guess we'll have to wait unitl 0.5. I'll try to be patient  |

RE: forging pools If the problem is the security issues associated with forging with a hot wallet, maybe implementing something like Sunny King's cold-locked transaction proposal for Peercoin could be a solution. The beauty of this approach is that it avoids centralization while greatly increasing the security of forging (minting) with a hot wallet because coins in the hot wallet can only be moved to a previously designated address and this restriction is enforced by protocol. Abstract: A proposal to relieve stake minter the risk of running online hot wallet.
Description: This proposal is simpler than the previous dual-key proposal [1]. A special transaction type called cold-locked transaction is introduced so that a designated spending address is specified in its first output. Protocol enforces that, spending of any of the outputs in the transaction must be sent to this designated address, or to itself (for stake generation purpose). When stake is generated, the stake transaction is also cold-locked and the designated key in stake must match all designated keys where all the inputs come from.
How hot wallet is protected:
By providing a cold-wallet address as the designated spending address in cold-locked transactions, stake minter can now run their entire balance online in a hot wallet to earn 1% annual interest with minimum risk, while providing maximum security to the entire network. This would allow even the exchanges, pools, and other online wallet providers to participate in network protection without risking public assets, and reduce fees or even pay interest to its users. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=194054.0 |

The calculation is fine. People buying premined currency already calculated this risk into the price of the coin. Thus the calculation is good.
Considering your close association with Auroracoin I can understand why you may feel this way. The fact remain that 99% of the coins comprising Auroracoin's current "market cap" are in the premine and do not circulate. Should Bitcoins that have not yet been mined be included in BTC's market cap?  Cryptocurrencies aren't companies and coins held in an uncirculating premine are not issued shares. It might be worth making some adjustments in how market cap is calculated. coinmarketcap.com loses much of its utility if market cap can be gamed by coins with a large uncirculating premine. Auroracoin is just the first coin of this type. Considering it's success, a wave of clones will come next. |

It might be worth re-evaluating how you calculate market cap when a coin has a large uncirculating premine.
