so bag holders get more coins to bag hold.... that sounds like a dumb concept to me

+1  incredibly stupid idea.  Absolutely the wrong incentive mechanism, will reward P&D behavior even more than usual.

I just got an email back from Bter.com that vidioshare has just been added to the the voting list! Please go vote!
i didnot see any available moves the devs made.the ipo price is still a spanish castle.

> the ipo price is still a spanish castle

I haven't heard that idiom before.  What does "Spanish Castle" refer to?

I think online wallet can do the job quiet well.And if one can generate a code with desired amount of super from his wallet which can be redeemed from online wallet, there is no need to know one's address.And also if one don't have wallet, code will direct him to online wallet & coins can be redeemed right away after creating a account. How about this?

I myself am not a big fan of online wallets. The risk is simply to high that accounts get hacked. Who will be responsible for that.That is why Exchanges use cold storage. It can end a coin once people start to shout they lost their coins.

On the other hand, if the comunity wants that, it is posssible to build. We would have to put a wallet on a server and host a website (online wallet) on that. Then connect the two and the wallet will be working....Remember that everybody that uses an online wallet, uses the same wallet....just another receiver address.

Yeap.. I think doing it with an online wallet is both too complicated (to set up on dev side, secure, create accounts etc) and too simple (not unique enough, still requires centralized server to support, defeats some of the purpose of decentralized blockchain-based crypto's value, and feels (to the recipient) like you are just sending them to some website to collect "website tokens" - that does not give the impression of personal control of their coin the way their own client wallet does).  Web wallets are useful after someone already understands crypto a bit, but as a first introduction they give the "meh" impression of just being some webpage on someone else's server. 

The idea (with this suggestion) is to do something that's helpful to newcomers and doesn't quite exist anywhere else in crypto yet, and newsworthy because it makes sense in real use cases rather than just a gimmick that doesn't have much real world benefit.

If I get this right, then it's actualy a paperwallet with a script to import the public and privatekey of that paperwallet into a new to download wallet

Pretty much, yep.  Only the paper wallet never gets printed, just the key pair gets generated so you can transfer coins to it right away, then when the recipient opens and runs the wallet you send to them via link or email attachment (as soon as blockchain sync catches up), the coin is ready to use.  Makes it feel much less fiddly for people who are new to this and you don't send them off to unfamiliar websites to download things they may get wrong, or Google incorrectly and get a scamwallet instead etc.

Not reinventing anything dramatic, just applying a few existing techniques in a new package to address a need (easy "ready to use" crypto for non-crypto people, esp for the holidays, tipping, etc) that hasn't been easily addressed yet.  

One (ok, maybe two or three) click "There's your wallet preloaded with coin and all set up for you, amigo"  type of thing.  Nobody else has anything like this yet as far as I am aware, and I think it would be a nice thing to brag about if it was here.  
105  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] SuperCoin Takeover by Trusted-Cryptos Team [Griffith] on: December 01, 2014, 04:45:47 AM

Yeah I know that blockchain would be too big, when I said "up to date"  I was referring to just the wallet app itself, 10mb or whatever, not the entire blockchain.  Of course they'd have to wait for the blockchain to sync, but they can still use / spend the coins before that happens, which is all most people need to get excited about using it.  

The proposed suggestion above wasn't to save the time of syncing blockchain, which is unavoidable, it was to make it much simpler to get new people into using the coin who don't already have the wallet.
Saves them a ton of steps and risk of accidentally downloading the wrong wallet.  

I was considering adding an  (ideally) about a built in torrent client to speed the download but I know that's a lot more to set up and doesn't have as much bang for the buck in terms of end user experience improvement.  


oh sorry. i misunderstood, but if they download the wallet from this site it is up to date. ahhhh. i see. you want one with a wallet address you can send coins to before they get it. unfortunately the wallet.dat is generated on first start up.... but i... hmm.... i see what you mean. i will think on this

Right - it's a way to make using it and sending it easier  for people who aren't super technically literate, but want to try it out with minimal fuss and risk.  Or can be persuaded to try it out if you make it easy for them.

If this system works smoothly it will be something all the other coins will want to copy, even Bitcoin, and SUPER can say it had it first.  It doesn't require any significant protocol changes or change the way staking works, just a simple way to hook people up with a crypto starter kit - sent from someone they trust and know, like a friend etc.,  with only a couple clicks needed on both sides.

im still using old wallet v1.4.2.0 and still works good
do i need to use the new wallet?

Same here, I am also using old wallet and it's working superb.

there will never be a need to update your wallet unless i post that an update is mandatory.

the only thing you will be missing by not updating your wallet is new features that will be added to the coin

Speaking of new features, how about a wallet that can generate 'prepackaged' wallets that you can send to people who don't already have coin?

So instead of:

1. telling someone you want to send them someone some SUPER (applies to any coin really),  
2. telling them to go to this weird (to them) site
3. download that wallet
4. Generate an address
5. Have them send you their address
6. Then finally you can send them SUPER
7. They have to wait for the confirmations, then they get it

you now have:

1. Click "Generate a pre-paid wallet with SUPER amount: _____ "
   Which automatically does the following:
   Generate a new SUPER wallet from your own running and up to date copy
   Generates an address to send the coin to in that wallet, and sends it right away to give the confirmations a head start
   Saves the wallet as a password-protected self extracting portable executable (using 7-zip or something similarly free) for the user's platform
   (ideally) uploads it to a filesharing sire and generates a link you can send them in chat or on a forum
   (or, ideally) generates a new email using whatever mail client you have's API with the installer pre-attached
2. You send them the link / email,  
3. They click download and extract it,  run it, they have SUPER ready to use almost immediately

There are some special cases to resolve with this, like
1. you have to be running the same platform of wallet that the person you are sending to is running (Win/Mac/Linux) to use your own executable as the template
   1a- this can be resolved by just generating a wallet.dat file, not the whole wallet client, and your link / package is just the new wallet.dat + a link to the wallet download page and a little script to run the wallet installer but copy in the generated wallet.dat file before running it, instead of it generating a new one

2. They can't really use SUPER until syncing with network happens, which might not be instant, but that's going to be the case no matter how you send it to them.

the only reason this isnt currently done is because any form of sending them an up-to-date wallet means that you will be sending them the whole block chain as well, meaning the download/upload for your files is the same size as your wallets. with a chain like the BTC chain. that means uploading / downloading a 20 gig file. this breaks most limits on most file sharing sites and isnt actually practical, it is actually faster to download the blockchain from the network in most cases instead of a remote file sharing site

I would like to see a supercoin multipool

Vegas

there is one, however it is currently a WiP

Why is this coin called CoinMarketsCoin and has a different logo on it on Cryptsy?

Have you guys considered talking to the Reddcoin team about some kind of cooperation?  Reddcoin has a very nice video site www.reddheads.com which would be enhanced by some kind of pay-to-play system like this, and their coin is focused on tipping and social media in general, not "video specific" which means they will bring in people and tip income from outside the video sharing niche, while vidio would give redd users a way to make a pay-to-play revenue stream that doesn't  "tarnish" the social tipping spirit of RDD by turning it into a non-optional payment stream.  They also have their own home-grown thunderclap platform which can be used to Vidio makers to splash social media with an announcement of their newest creations. 

Just a thought that maybe it's time for alts to consider the advantages of cooperation instead of everyone re-inventing the same stuff over and over and cannibalizing one another.

I don't see SUPER listed on polo yet, which is where I do most of my bargain hunting these days.  Anyone else want to see it there too?

It will happen when Supercoin increases in value.  Being on Bter exchange is a long term goal!

It's good to see it on Trex and Cryptsy at least.  I haven't gone near mintpal after the Moolah mess...

The good thing about this coin how clean and free of trolls and fuds, I have never seen a so clean professional thread like this and this will contribute to the success of Opalcoin

It's a self-moderated thread, the mods just might be really on the ball Smiley
113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Never buy ico: ByteCent, EQX, Sys, Craig, Vior... on: November 29, 2014, 05:02:19 AM
HAL scam...

Ltcd? I'm not sure...

You can be sure...

More like an obvious grab for some of the fad money moving into anything with a "D" at the end of the ticker.  But it's a completely hollow shell.  Nothing to do with either LiteCoin, or DarkCoin.  No anon / stealth features, but they did manage to get a semi decent logo. 
114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] SuperCoin Takeover by Trusted-Cryptos Team [Griffith] on: November 28, 2014, 09:55:26 PM
Will any of the ECCoin dna make it into SuperCoin? 

On a different note i would love to see another PoS coin pick up Proof of Transaction as well.  That's a great concept trapped in a foundering coin (FLT) which needs more exposure!

QUICK SUMMARY

Original Supercoin Thread = https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=736705.0

History
1. Supercoindev was no longer able to maintain the coin due to personal reasons. So we had to find a new developer.
2. Supercoindev released the source code = https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=736705.msg9588332#msg9588332
3. Various community members checked out the code in order to determine if it's anon system was indeed genuine.
4. Supercoin was confirmed to have a fully working p2p anon with a very advanced anti-cheat system that heavily utilizes multi-sig!
5. Griffith has been voted by the community to take over the development of the coin.
6. Supercoindev agreed of take over by Griffith = https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=736705.msg9666059#msg9666059
7. This new thread was made as original developer Supercoindev mentioned.

NOW
1. NOTHING has changed in terms of code from original Supercoin. Coin specs & network remains same.
2. So if you were using the latest Supercoin wallet from the last thread, you DO NOT need to do anything.
3. Nothing also changed for the exchanges. So they will keep on working as they always have.
4. Griffith & team will start with basics such as wallet with new logo, minor bug fixes etc.
5. Then once it's all sorted, they will add new & unique features in to the Qt wallet etc.



Thanks for this..  So it's a "stay tuned"  scenario so far.

Can we get a summary of what happened to the previous incarnation of this coin in this thread?

Some kind of a before and after list of changes or something like "the coin was busted because of XYZ reasons, the old devs had a hidden premine, every time you mint a block a kitten gets Ebola, and santa claus has put it on his naughty list -  now and here's how each of those things will be fixed and made better in the new takeover version" ?   

Search engine on these forums is barely usable when trying to find general topics being discussed rather than specific keywords, and its a mess trying to sort out real issues from guesswork in old threads.

@rastuss,

I believe it is the responsibility of all of us, me included, to run these pump and dump preachers out of here. Identify them and call them out on the bullshit.

They come here for one reason. To fraud you and everybody else out of coins.

I take exception to the tone of your post. To me, this time you are just FUD.

Who the HELL are you to preach about lessons?

Tired of you P&D shits coming in here and stinking the place up.

The remainder of your message is based on what?!?! Are you here in my house? Do you see no white-board, files and contact sheets, Skype, 4 VoIP lines, 3 live monitors, etc etc? NO?!?!
Right. Because you aren't here and you don't know shit.

Just lies you make up to manipulate price.

GTFO.

I hope some of you have learned a valuable lesson here.

Please rise above this in your new role. You need to show professionalism and not even give negativity like this airtime.

The problem with that plan is that you are wrong and they are right.  Not even P&D people touch this coin, that's how limp and lifeless it is.  Those "pumps" and "dumps" that have happened the past 2 weeks (assuming that's what they are, and its not just bagholders trying to wriggle out of their positions with the least amount suffering), are going to net someone at most a thousand bucks, if they did every single thing right.  This isn't even worth their time.  The gloating you point to is typical twitter self-promotion from idiots who like to act as if they can predict the future by "calling" pumps after they already start, and then claiming they knew it was a scam all along, after they peak and crash.   They do this to lots of coins in order to convince scam their drooling, gullible followers into believing they have special insider info, which they do not.  LTCD isn't some special snowflake getting extra nasty treatment, it's getting the usual nasty treatment and it frankly deserves it.     

Jesus H Christ every goddamn thread on every shitcoin, ever.   Same stupid "it's not our half assed coin it's the critics who are killing us" conversations and accusations when the music stops.  

News flash 1:  99% of coins get 15 minutes of fame, and then disappear.  
News flash 2:  Hopium causes cancer of the wallet.

Hehe not me, nice try though.   That post actually made my browser lock up, I can't even look at it let alone create it.

Good thing you had the idiotic lack of common sense to quote it, making it twice as bad. *** update,  good job clipping the text back out of the quote, but "Cunt" negated that.

And ... since you can't see this you can't respond to it, brilliant moves all around Vic!

FYI  i reported "cunt"  to moderator.

You still haven't got yourself straight and you have no facts. You only make false statements and post propaganda. I will not continue to give you a soapbox.

You are now on my ignore list. PM me when you have something of genuine substance, then I will un-ignore you.

I suggest and invite everyone else to ignore @mikeymillie and do not make any replies to her. She will dry up and blow away eventually.

Well, you failed to do so - I will clarify one point that you misunderstood

... this is what you can leave out as it is does not support your point... understandably since you have your FUD glasses on when reading my post and cannot see anything that doesn't look like FUD to you.

You don't have the whitepaper. Referring to anything 'whitepaper' is false and misdirection. - The whitepaper marketing scam is not referring to the supposed whitepaper coming out for *this* coin.  It refers to the overall altcoin gimmick of writing up a "whitepaper"  that 2 or 3 people will read,  everyone else will say they read,  and if examined by a serious reviewer, would fall apart halfway through anyway. 

You haven't made any point here. Just spewing propaganda that is authored by you and very weakly done. - They are a special kind of marketing gimmick for people who like to tell themselves they are not investing in a straight up casino game, but something that has "a whitepaper" and therefore is legit. 

Ignore me all you like, this isn't a popularity contest. 

You know exactly what I meant above, now you are choosing to deliberately pretend you don't.   

Simple Explain Like You're Five version:   Whitepapers are marketing gags, that is their role in the altcoin world.  LiteCoinDark is no different.
