One more feature request, this time for the block explorer: claiming an address. Could be used for your adress (nothing proves this is your only one or even that this actually is your address) or to mark known exchanges (we'd have to convince them first), for instance, of the stacking bounty, faucets... This would bring one of my favorite feature from the NOBL richlist (you know, the one that cost 0.25 BTC)

Here's the HBN one: http://hbn.cryptocoinexplorer.com/claim

It seems you don't get it, this is the internet, there is no stay civil with trolls, not in a un-moderated forum.
When you lower yourself to their level, it means they won.

We'll see how it will go.
1007  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / High PoS with demurrage on: August 31, 2014, 11:02:24 AM
StakeHunter has published a proposal: high PoS with demurrage
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=498739.msg8023294#msg8023294

So, I had another thought. And call me crazy, but I'm going to throw it out there. What about a POS coin with demurrage.

The "problem" with POS coins: "inflation." Everyone wants high stake, but wants to control inflation. So we set a max coin cap, or we decrease the stake percentage over time to some eventual minimal inflation.

However, the attraction of the POS coin is that you can earn high %. But when that goes away the excitement is gone many seek greener pastures and newer coins with newer features.

That's where demurrage comes in, or negative stake (nstake). A coin could always offer high positive stake (pstake) because it will never suffer from inflation due to its nstake. The theory is that the nstake has a flag that is set when a number of coins is reached and increases to slow the pstake. Once a second coin point is reach nstake is increased above pstake to bring the coins down. It is a hysteresis effect to avoid market shock. There would be an ebb and flow around a soft coin cap chosen by the dev team.

Such a coin would have to have two stake ages computed: nstake age and pstake age. Nstake age would have to be faster than pstake age to hit every wallet - something like 6 hours. While pstake age would be longer: a day, 3 days, whatever.

In theory the coins would congregate to the clients that spend the most time staking. In other words the network would pay the nodes that do the most work for it by securing it.

Example coin:
POW coins: 0.5 mil
Minimum Coins: 1 mil
Maximum Coins: 2 mil
PStake: 100% @ 7 days
NStakeMax = 115%
NStake= ncoins/maxcoins * 100%
if(ncoins>0.7*max coins){
do{nstake= nstakemax}
while (ncoins>mincoins)
}

Assuming EVERYONE stakes - not likely, but a possibility
Year 0: 0.5 mil coins; nstake = 25% ; effective stake w/ compounding = 111%
Year 1: 1.05 mil coins; nstake = 53% ; effective stake w/ compounding = 60%
Year 2: 1.68 mil coins; nstake = 84% ; effective stake w/ compounding = 17%
Year 3: 1.44 mil coins; nstake = 115% ; effective stake w/ compounding = -15%
Year 4: 1.24 mil coins; nstake = 115% ; effective stake w/ compounding = -15%
Year 5: 1.06 mil coins; nstake = 115% ; effective stake w/ compounding = -15%
Year 6: 1.05 mil coins; nstake = 53% ; effective stake w/ compounding = 60%

That is only one example. You could change the nstake curve to increase the number of years a coin stakes with positive interest. And you could also increase the NStakeMax percentage to decrease the number of years of contraction - of course that may be more of a shock.  

Lots of variables to play with. If nothing else, it could be a fun experiment.
The only coin I know with demurrage is Freicoin and this is not much of a success (some say demurrage cannot work if there are other coins without demurrage).

I really don't know what to think about demurrage and implementing it would require a hard fork, something that we are not considering before several months. Still, it is important to remember that HyperStake is an experiment first and foremost and it should live to this expectation.

What would demurrage bring? What are the positive aspects? The negative aspects? Is it worth considering implementation? I honestly don't have an idea, I expect many inputs from you.

Will Bitcoin mixing algorithms (for example, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=752260.0) allow Bitcoin users equivalent privacy to Monero?

Answers from the core team:

[...] There are other privacy issues with bitcoin such as widespread address reuse. They are all likely fixable one way or another but frankly look at the pace and direction of bitcoin development and ask yourself how likely that is.

The problem with Bitcoin is not technological at heart, it is human.

Nope ! And i'm proud to be critical toward my government  Wink

Ranked 35th out of 60 in this year's EF EPI, France’s English proficiency skills are declining, according to data gathered on over 150,000 French adults between 2007 and 2012. France is one of only eight countries whose proficiency scores have dropped by more than two points, although in absolute terms the decline is slight. What makes the situation more remarkable is that most of Europe has either improved or already demonstrates consistently high English proficiency. France currently has the weakest English skills in Europe.

Thanks, I learnt something.

This has probably changed around the world now, but I think we got the head start when this was the norm for every movie. I doubt there were movies in the French cinema 30 years undubbed right?
No idea, would be worth investigating.
1010  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: August 31, 2014, 10:03:21 AM
Most people consider Monero because of privacy, but one must not ignore adaptive limits as a feature in Monero.  Adaptive limits on its own can be a game changer, since Bitcoin will have to hard fork in order to remain number 1.
Completely true. I keep saying to people that the adaptative limit is the hidden gem. Ring signature is easier to market, but the real power for me is adaptative limit (much like "money" is easier to market than "blockchain", even though the true power lies in the latter, not the former).

IMO, Gresham's Law requires XMR to be held in exponentially increasing (proportional to network effect utility growth) preference to BTC, just as BTC is held in exponentially increasing preference to fiat trash cash.
I'm already 75% in XMR (compared to BTC) and 60% in crypto (compared to fiat), so it seems I am on the righ track, especially considering I do not plan to have much more fiat ("fiat pays the bill, BTC buys XMR, XMR paves the future")

Code:
bash: ./simplewallet: No such file or directory
Type
Code:
cd ~/bitmonero/build/release/src && ls -l
And look if you have a simplewallet file. If you don't, it probably means the compilation went wrong. Thus start compiling again and post the errors (or pastebin the whole text).
If you do have a simplewallet file, something is very wrong here.

à mon avis pour le moment HYP est dans une phase de transition, ca fait depuis le début que je le suis aprés le TRK donc j'avais déja pas mal de TRK non vendu et je stake depuis .
c'est un  des coin les plus sérieux que j'ai eu l'occasion de voir et c'est assez prometeur et inovateur Smiley
Apparemment, Poloniex pense la même chose Smiley

+1 manque plus que la phase de promotion  Smiley

Nous nous orientons plutôt sur le bouche-à-oreille pour aller plus loin. Et nous nous focalisons sur les fonctionnalités. Les fonctionnalités emmènent la communauté, laquelle fera la promo par le moyen le plus efficace qui soit, le bouche-à-oreilles. Nous faisons ainsi d'une pierre trois coups.

This proved a great learning experience because you hear the actors and read what they say at the same time.
We have subtitles too. For a large amount of movies, you can choose between dubbed (with original voice off, not like in Spain) or subtitled - French subtitles or original language subtitles. I prefer original language subtitles and I agree this is a great experience both for enjoying the movie and for learning the language.

like in everywhere else in Europe. English is 2 hours a week from 14 to 18 then one hour a week. Here school program are build by a central authority and they apply in every public school. I have hear you have more education freedom than us.
Please stop bashing. I've been in several European countries, I talked with people routinely working in English with non natives. And I can tell you this: we are pretty well positionned when it comes to speak English.

But a Frenchman who doesn't complain is not really a Frenchman Smiley "Les Français sont râleurs". Even the American say that we are "judgemental" (always eager to complain).

1.Why have a mandatory French version ? Translation cost money, it reduce the amount of movie French can see. So you don't want Netflix or French TV purpose English movies ?
I'm baffled you even ask, this is France. We can be proud of our history and our language, And don't tell me if would not negatively impact the French language. Your question is a loaded question. I don't know the story about Netflix, but this is France, you speak French. Of course you should be encouraged to know a second language (EU policy is three languages per European citizen).

This reminds me of the famous picture of a pupil asking his teacher "why is it bad to kill people?" and the teacher being unable to answer. I am in the same position there.

2.I'm an language utilitarianist, i admire what the north Europe country do to teach English very young to their children so they are fine with the modern world.
I agree with this but they still have their own language first and foremost.

Language is symbol, (sumbolon, "what which unites", opposed diabolon what which divides - and now this explains a lot of things about the Devil in the Bible). A nation (different from "a country") is united by something that transcend petty opposition. A language is such a thing.

3.You find normal it's forbidden by law ?
No. I would find it normal OTOH, that it is mandatory to have a French version and probably also that the French version is prominent.
Now that I think about it, French airports have huge ads in English.

4.This shit should be closed, language is a bottom up process... another libertarian debate  Wink
No debate here, you're preaching the choir Smiley
Although I must say I also am a proponent of the linguistic relativity (better known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis) and a proponent of diversity.

that is fascinating. i had no idea about any of this. thanks for teaching me a little bit about your culture.
Well, this is actually pretty widespread out of US and not France-specific at all. US citizen Andrew Tannenbaum (Minix, the inspiration for Linux) said this when he announced that he is behind electoral-vote.com: "I live abroad and you don't have a clue how bad a reputation the US in the world." (I could not google the exact quote).

If you agree with one, it's no moral reason why you shouldn't agree with the other as they imply the same thing. That people have no right to their own body and property.

I must have expressed myself badly. I strongly agree with you. My body is mine, not some god or whatever.

Wow i knew your government was crazy but that's a special kind of crazy. Next they will be forbidding you to interbreed with people with the wrong skin color. Gotta preserve that french heritage. Cheesy

We can't see movie not translated in French, media have a number of French subsided "art" to diffuse, my government plan to prevent netflix from coming here. English class is with funny teacher to do nothing or speak about American history in French. Even in Paris nothing is write in English in the street...

And the more funny is the government funded agency that translate "e mail" to "courriel" or "hash tag" to "mot dièse" even if nobody use their fucking word.

And your far leftist or rightist say that English language is some imperialist conspiracy...
Subsidised art is one of the reason why the artistic culture in France is particularly vivid (especially cinema). We all know that art doesn't make you a linving (unless once you're dead... humm). Sure, they're many abuses but on this one, I won't follow you.
As for the English teacher, it really depends on the teacher. I've had great and not so great teacher.
And I find it completely normal that things are not written in English in Paris (btw, this is "written", not "write"). Highly touristic place have double or even quadruple translation, mostly like everywhere else in the non-English-speaking world.
Yeah, Académie française is an old lady that should take care of something else than trying to be young. Or it does, trying better.

For Jungian and Anon136: French-bashing is a pretty popular sport in France. Frenchmen (and Frenchwoman) are known to complaint a lot. Foreign citizens established in France often say "stop complaining, you don't know how lucky you are".
* David Latapie doesn't like French self-bashing.
