Wow.  People are responding to the news like they did with Apple today. lol  A little dump just now.

Just voted.  Also, never was able to test on Windows.  I followed the instructions posted on here earlier by another member but got stuck about a quarter of the way through with all of the presteps required to build a test system.  I didn't even get to the compiling part, so it's nothing on your end with the code or anything but on my end with my system.  I'm running windows 8 so maybe that's part of the problem because Windows 8 fucking sucks!  Anyway, I can try again tomorrow though and will let you know what happens.  Also, I have a mac and am running 10.8.5 Mountain Lion.  I can try compiling new wallet in Mountain Lion and see how it goes.  Again, pretty new to this whole wallet compiling thing, but I'll give it a shot.  Another community member posted some instructions on what's needed to compile in mac, so I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Ok well... selling my SSV and heading back over to HAL.  Should've known this would just be a pump with subsequent dump.  It's been real.

lol to this day this pic still freaks me out.

YES!

Also, pretty hard to believe that right now MACD's priced higher than a coin that came out a couple weeks ago.  Just sayin lol

Thanks for putting in all the work!  And yep you've missed alot the past few weeks.  Where do I begin lol  First, yes anon is still very big.  The leaders in this right now are still Darkcoin, Bitcoindark, Halcyon, Stealth, and Fibre.  Fibre's kind of interesting because they want to release a full blown anon OS that you can run on a USB stick.  Not sure if it's gimmicky or not, but it looks like people are interested.  Halcyon's making news because it's claiming it's the first crypto to offer fully decentralized peer anon.  Price has risen due to that news.  And Stealth is also doing anon stuff.  Other lesser known anon's are Kore which have really rebounded.  I wanna say they're doing something with anon VoIP, but I'm not sure about that.  Right now it's more or less an arms race for who can have the most amazing anon.  It's a big seller still.  All of the above coins I believe have a whitepaper and a roadmap.

A coin that is interesting that isn't anon is Greenbacks.  They're trying to develop a complete ecosystem for their coin where you can actually spend it on things, plus they're trying very hard to get Greenbacks accepted by merchants.  That's pretty much where they're headed.  Unfortunately, because they don't have the bells and whistles of anon, the price hasn't really gone much of anywhere over the past few weeks.  They have a whitepaper and roadmap as well.

NXT and NHZ are very cool concepts, and they're not anon.  NHZ is kind of a clone of NXT, and they both provide a decentralized exchange for people to sell assets and services on.  So let's say I own a business where I sell flowers.  We'll call it Flowers By Kpierce77.  I know not very original lol  Anyway, as a business I can sell assets to people who want to buy them, and I do that on the NXT exchange.  Really it's like people buying shares of stock in my company, and any shareholders I have I pay a certain number of NXT to monthly.  All assets can be sold for NXT, and you buy assets with NXT.  Very similar to how you can buy altcoins with BTC on exchanges like Bittrex or wherever, except you're buying assets with NXT on NXT's exchange.

And then there's SuperNet.  SuperNet is the brainchild of the same creator of NXT I believe.  His vision is to have coins all participate in this SuperNet.  Let's say that 30 coins participate in the SuperNet, and each of the coins offer something unique.  Because of the SuperNet, all the coins will share their unique characteristics with the SuperNet and I guess kind of create sort of like a super coin.  I believe that Bitcoindark is one of the coins participating in this.  Any coin that participates in the SuperNet is getting a boost in price because people want to invest in them.  Not sure that people really quite understand SuperNet.  Bter just hosted the SuperNet ICO a couple days ago.  Right now it's listed as TOKEN, but will eventually be sold on the NXT exchange as an asset called UNITY.  All of this according to Jl777.

And yes a new trend in coins right now is the proof of developer.  Personally, I don't think it's such a horrible idea because people are so terrified by getting scammed by unknown or anonymous developers.  The latest dev to scam people is the dev from Bitmo.  Another new thing especially with the anon coins is they're having their code reviewed by Dan Metcalf of XC.  He's the lead dev of that coin.  He looks over the code and gives his seal of approval, and it gives a nice boost to the price of the coin.

Anyway, I guess look into all of this stuff, but these are sort of the trends right now.

Wow!  Great logo!  Can't wait to see what the website looks like.

Nice to see price bounce back some after that mini dump.  Shows that there's demand for this one.

Ya that's too bad.  I really hope nobody lost a pile of money on this one.  Something seemed fishy to me when the dev announced a few days ago that there would be a surprise.  Then a few hours later, The Hacker's Manifesto showed up on the website, then was taken down after a few minutes.  I was joking around with some people and said I hope that wasn't the surprise lol  Then dev came out I think the next day and said oh, the site wasn't hacked, that was just me that put the manifesto up there.  The surprise was that the site wasn't hacked.  I sold immediately after that because I figured this guy was a joke and wouldn't be able to do much of anything.  Sure enough, unfortunately I was right.  I doubt he's 34 and a father with kids.  No 34 year old with kids would put The Hacker's Manifesto on anything because it's cheesy, and it doesn't give you any credibility as a mature adult.  I should know.  I'm 36.  Anyway,whenever there's anonymity provided by the internet, unfortunately sociopaths and opportunists take advantage of it.  Live and learn I guess.

Wow.  Just shaking my head.  Hey, btw, if you guys want a coin to look at and get in at the VERY bottom level, check out MACDcoin.  Our original dev split as well a couple months ago, yet we're in the process of testing a new wallet, have a new developer who's trying to make progress on the coin, and who at least is active and isn't out to screw people over.  Anyway, check us out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=683253.0

Wow thanks SalimNagamato for adding that link!  That's more involved than I thought it would be.  I'll try to work on this tonight though.

Wow a community takeover already?  Hasn't it only been like 2 days since we heard from the dev? lol

Just bought 10,000.  Holding my breath lol

Wow.  I could buy about 1/40th the coin supply right now lol  Just think if a person did that and dev comes back tomorrow or something?  Considering the coin supply's pretty low.  Very tempting.

I sent a tweet to Bittrex asking them to not delist because there's a new wallet being tested, and active development going on.

Yep.  Someone needs to reach out to Bittrex again and tell them not to delist it.  I can put on their Twitter page not to delist because we're testing a new wallet and there's active development.

I would love to test new wallet, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that because I've never tested a wallet before from just the github code.  I see where the code is on Github.  I pulled the repository down to my windows laptop with Github for Windows.  Now what? lol  I'm assuming I have to get a compiler that will compile all the code?  Any suggestions on compilers?

Ya I must admit pretty ambitious and impressive!

Ya and I never got my free XBM from that Twitter giveaway!  Not sure that it matters anymore.

Ok sounds good.  Thanks for the clarification.
