been 4 days since block movement....
Anyone mining?
How is this traded to the price it is if there is little to no block movement? |

Secondary, unlike the more conventional Crypto with each wallet/miner maintaining the blockchain records, there is no need for each smartphone to maintain activity for a prolonged time for that purpose.
I walk a lot at work with hour stretches of standing still. For eight hours. That was enough to do some mining and not exceed the daily limit (often more than a bit below the daily limit). I liked thinking that my phone was doing something while I was busy. Now there are six hours where my phone isn't mining. Don't get me wrong - if the system works with the new changes then let it and I hope it does well. But I don't want to be pigeon holed into a two hour window. That's further restriction on an already centralized system. The constant minutiae of sporadic irritation is not something that I want to experience. Further - it feels like a control of the coin supply. The people who were involved at the beginning were able to get nice big bags which would be impossible to accumulate in less than a year with the current system. The entire time, there has been a very slow and steady uptrend in price on a very low volume exchange that many people don't frequent. In a year from now, after constant little bugs and lengths of time in between promises, this coin is going to turn a very nice profit for the devs...while the few dedicated members of the community are going to be pleased with the peanuts that a restricted process allows them...or not...but after watching for over six months, this is what I think is happening. Thanks for all the fish! |

Having a 2 hour window in which you can mine is a deal breaker. It completely defeats the purpose of turning your phone on and letting natural activity and/or exercise do the work for you.
I have uninstalled and won't be back. Good luck to you guys!

Personally, it reminds me of those 'get paid for doing surveys!' apps...it's kind of cluttered.
What looks cluttered? Would like to hear your feedback.
When I say cluttered, I mean that there is a lot of real estate taken up by things that are intended to re-direct user attention and function. Get a few gemz for spreading the word on social media and then redeem your gemz - it's kind of what many 'paid for survey apps' function as. Which is fine, but if the intent is to work as a social media/chat client that enables tipping then being inundated with sponsored/sponseree content is, in my opinion, clutter. It might work as intended but it is something that I would liken more to bitcoin billionaire...and a fair point is that I am somewhat biased from the perspective of a 'centralized but decentralized' client...that and I see no point for stickers to exist...; ) I don't think you understand, its not just "get a few gemz for spreading the word". You see GG shares income with active users, usually the gatekeepers such as FB/ Google and others earn billions from their users, but users don't get nothing from the piece of the pie. Thats why apps like GG or Tsu believe the users should be in the centre, so in GG case there are different reward models not just one. This is a much more fair model because without its users apps like whatsapp would never make it. Besides who doesn't want free money, i can imagine teens, kids actually everyone will like this, once its complete. Also to have a chance to compete you need to have an edge above other and offer something unique, the best one it using blockchain technology, the app as of now is already superior than any other messenger. No other messenger allows you to send money. Fair enough... |

Omitted the reference entirely. |

Best android wallet is without a doubt GetGems.

what's with the dump?  A single holder sold some BLOCK as a market order and then put up a sell wall yesterday at 0.00036, causing the price action. I don't think anyone else was involved. The sell wall was subsequently bought up. The holder's actions were due to an argument in Slack yesterday. In my (subjective) opinion he sold in the heat of the moment, for emotional and personal reasons. These, explicitly, were to make his view heard in the market. In my opinion, this was not a reasonable or responsible course of action, and I expect he sold at an unfavourably low price. But I certainly don't claim objectivity in assessing his actions. :-) I caught the alert when that happened and was pretty surprised...but saw it as opportunity. |

I just thought I would mention this...I just sent a few VNL to Bittrex and started refreshing the page to check pending deposits...like I usually do.
After a minute and a half with nothing showing up I got confused and checked my wallet balance...available balance was there. Available and ready.
VNL is so fast that it doesn't even give Bittrex a chance to pend the deposit...never encountered that before.
Just an observation.
Edit - Withdrawal is similar...though I caught it in pending for a few seconds...
Second edit - Couldn't reproduce it. Second go and we're still in pending for 3 minutes now...C'est La Vie...

Does what he says and way faster than expected. Definitely recommend this guy!

I'm very interested how the public reacts to this development, John is building a whole crypto 2.0 ecosystem for VNL. Same here...I was watching a conversation yesterday on Polo where someone was being more or less rebutted about VNL because VNL wasn't a 2.0 project. This is certainly an interesting development... |

Please answer in simple terms:
1) Is Ethereum integrating an Xbridge?
2) Are they going to be in BlockNET?
1) Ethereum will incorporate Xbridge into their code and vice versa - It is truly a mutual collaboration. 2) Yes. |

I could very well be out of line but the delays could be a strategy to limit the amount of coins that make it to the exchange...which prevents a large amount of people performing the 'mine and dump for any kind of profit' process that so many coins go through.
But who knows...I'm pretty close to offering my functioning android account up for sale. The only thing stopping me is my inability to change the username (I'm attached to the name)...and I still think that there is potential for this coin.

I think that you would get a faster answer on IRC but with my understanding that should work (though I don't FPGA is ready for prime time just yet). |

I was excited about it but then it seems I should have just kept it to myself rather than sharing as soon as I had info. Main point is the dev and I both are 100% sure the work is way too in depth to be anything other than legit, and that was really why I asked him to look at it in the first place. If he ever actually gets it done I will certainly share it however.
I saw it as hyping, myself, and agree that things like that need to be communicated after the fact and not as implied promises. Not that I blame you for being excited... That said, an implicit approval of the code is apparent in the fact that Poloniex lowered the number of confirmations. Considering their move to legitimize their exchange by offering margins and registering with relevant entities, then I think that code review is substantial - they aren't just whimsical with their movements. |

5 rounds convergence, means that if round trip time between California and Japan is 200 millisecond, 5 rounds is about 1 second. So average block times can be as low as 1 to 2 seconds, for this network topology (the wikipedia voter data set).
Very cool... |
