C'mon guys, when will you start dumping? Surely the price is skyrocketing is it seems it's not stopping.

I wouldn't expect much dumping. The writing's on the wall now and the Ethereum network effect is poised to eclipse Bitcoin's.
The King is dead, long live the King



Exactly my thoughts, in normal conditions this would be a real good chance to collect some profits, but considering what Bitcoin is going through (The Block size debate just showed how poisonous the whole eco-system is) Ethereum is really shining and taking a huge spot in the cryptocurrencies space.

I don't have balls to trade this, 100$ in the next couple of years seems really plausible. 
122  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need Source code of Android wallet for X11 coins on: February 07, 2016, 11:18:33 AM
X11 and POS for Android?  I am looking at the peercoin Android Wallet for POS, but it requires a special block explorer.

Well, I managed to port Bitcore to have support for x11 hybrid PoW/PoS coins, and also ported insight-API and managed it to have full support for PoW/PoS blocks than ported Copay and managed it to have support for PoS and compiled it for Android and iOS, will compile it for windows phones later when I have time.

you can check all the work I've done in Creditbit's repos.

With today's halving block reward went from 50 to 25 coins per block, There will be one more halving (to 12.5 CREDITs) in approximately 1,5 months. After that round we are done with PoW and pure PoS will start (in approx 3 months).
124  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Troubles compiling Electrum for Windows on: January 31, 2016, 09:14:36 PM
Finally got it compiled.... it was really a pain in the ass.

How did you solve it? Running into the same problem here...

Agreed, OP?

I used the Electrum-release repo . This one is for dash but you can change it to work with Bitcoin (or any other altcoin), I tried almost all the methods out there and this is the only one that worked for me.

Best Explanation of the benefits of Ethereum:

Quote
The core value proposition of Ethereum can be summarized with a single word: Synergy.

To give an example, just at launch Maker is going to integrate and thus synergize with at least this list of other Ethereum projects:

Augur - We give them a stable store of value, they give us users. We can also use their token as collateral for the Dai.
Slock - We use their product, the Ethereum Computer, as an easily distributed plug-and-play server to run our Keeper daemon which provides us decentralized price feeds and trading bots (meaning better Dai liquidity), we also give them a stable store of value, and can use their DAO token as collateral for the Dai.
EtherEx - We provide a stable store of value to allow for decentralized ETH speculation directly on the Ethereum blockchain using their service (The combination of our CDP system + EtherEx even allows for decentralized margin trading!), and in turn we get better access to liquidity and and a platform for raising money without having to require KYC and other user annoyances.
Digix - We can use their gold token as collateral for the Dai, increasing the collateral diversity with non-cryptocurrency assets.
Oraclize - We use their service as an additional layer of secure price feeds to make sure our system is robust and cannot easily be attacked through its oracle mechanisms, and in return we provide them with income that we earn from providing a better secured Dai.
Colony - We use their service to organize our army of community volunteers, ensuring people who do work for Maker gets paid accordingly even when it's on a decentralized ad hoc basis. We can also use their token as collateral for the Dai.
Otonomos - We use their service to allow us to use real world company stock as collateral for the Dai, which enables us to offer business credit as well as further diversify the collateral portfolio of the Dai with non-cryptocurrency assets.
It is the permissionless and turing-completeness of Ethereum that allows all of these projects to seamlessly integrate with each other as first class citizens, increasing the value and utility of each other, because we all write to the same virtual machine and use the same language and the same standards.

Each project in the list above becomes a multiplier on the existing value of our system, resulting in exponential, rather than linear gains, for every new project that integrates with the others. Similarly every time any one of the above mentioned projects gains a new user or somehow grows in size, it ripples through the list and positively effects every other project in one way or another. Another huge advantage is that all of the integrations and synergies listed above require zero direct interaction or collaboration between the projects - it just emerges by itself due to the open source nature and streamlined standards of Ethereum. Of course in most cases there is still direct collaboration between the projects in this early stage of the ecosystem, but it's still important to note that this isn't a requirement - this will become a huge advantage once the network starts to really scale.

The result of this inherent synergy is an unbeatable network effect in accordance with Metcalfe's law. Every time a VC or a banker asks me which blockchains are interesting to look at in the industry, I tell them the same thing: Ethereum has already won. It has reached critical mass and become what can best be described as an unstoppable, ever growing snowball.

Another way to put it is if we decided to build Maker on a different blockchain, we'd have significantly less users and liquidity, and would have to spend a lot more resources on building things that others have already built for us to use as first class citizens on Ethereum, and due to those factors, we'd most likely be dead or dying at this point.

Today or tommorow halving? Now only 37.500 creditbit a day will come out for next 45 days 😎

The halving will be in Approximately 2 days, yes this will bring the daily mining reward to 37.5K CREDIT.

Since it's changed a lot can someone please give the current ETH emission rates? How much exists, how much will exist, is there a current limit, etc. It has been confusing to understand. I'd appreciate it if someone would break it down for me. Thank you.

Yes, it has changed a lot. At the beginning, the supply was supposed to be limitless but then devs have decided for a hard cap with the introduction of POS. There will be at the end between 90 and 100 million with a very, very small yearly inflation of about 1%, if I am not mistaking about the inflation part.

Links are online, mostly on Ethereum blog. I don't have time at the moment to dig through and post the links. Maybe somebody will do this instead of me!



Thanks. How many ETH currently exist approximately?
OK, some basic information, Ethereum is a good bit different than what you are used to with Bitcoin and its copy cats, this get most Crypto enthusiast/investors that are used to Bitcoin a little confused, you have to forget about most of what you already learned about Bitcoin when dealing with Ethereum:

- Ethereum similarly uses PoW, soon it will be PoS but don't worry take it a step at a time and you will get it all, it also uses its own hashing algorithm, The block reward is 5 ETH and blocks are generated in average of  17 seconds...  you can check network live stats here.
- There is around 76.5 Million ETH, 60,102,216 were sold in its known IPO. you can check market cap stats here.
- Ethereum also relies on nodes for verifying its contracts/transactions. you can check node stats here.
- Ethereum network (not only price) is growing at a crazy rate, you can check stats here.

Will Ethereum face the same problem of scalability like Bitcoin ? I was reading the white paper and came across this:
Quote
"Ethereum is likely to suffer a similar growth pattern, worsened by the fact that there will be many applications on top of the Ethereum blockchain instead of just a currency as is the case with Bitcoin, but ameliorated by the fact that Ethereum full nodes need to store just the state instead of the entire blockchain history"

Ethereum code is really huge, I didn't have time to study it my self so I went to the Gitter channel of Ethereum devs and I asked this :


Every investment has its risk factors, but the point is that Ethereum unlike Bitcoin is not only a currency, it is a whole platform that you can build anything on, it was created with its own language to make smart contracts, ETH the currency is the "fuel" you need for anything to do on the netwrok, in the other hand Bitcoin for now can do only one thing, it has only one application which is "digital cash".

Any updates creditbit about bitrex?

No updates yet, I've settled my points and they will eventually add it if they are convinced, not going to talk to them again, I have far more important things to do than begging an exchange to add Creditbit.



Any consideration to get a credit slack going?

I can create a slack channel, but I don't promise that we will be on it all the time.
134  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning on: January 25, 2016, 06:29:04 PM
I would usually take profits by now, but given the fact that Bitcoin will get hit hard with a shit-storm I am not going to even consider trading under these conditions, the price might correct which is something healthy, but my guts are telling me to not sell this... I might be wrong though.
135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning on: January 25, 2016, 06:15:33 PM

mmm, do you mean good news for people in short positions ?

The Pic speaks for it self

This is a Bitcoin thread in the Bitcoin section, so you shouldn't be promoting altcoins here.

Neverheless ethereum's only gone up by 10.57%. Why did you omit dogecoin which has surpassed it by going up by 11.11%? You showed dash at 5th place which has crashed, but omitted dogecoin at 6th place.


Dogecoin has been pumped numerous times, and ethereum's being pumped like any other altcoin.


dash, Litecoin, Dogecoin.... and so many other coins are just a Bitcoin copy cats, Bitcoin's limitations will apply on all the Bitcoin forks, in the other hand you have ETH which is a kick ass platform.


BTW: you don't get to tel me what I can discuss and what not especially in this thread and in this sub-forum. period.


It's not me that tells you what you can discuss, it's the mods. This is what Lauda (a mod) has to say about a post just like yours in the Bitcoin discussion board. He says making a price comparison isn't a discussion related to Bitcoin. That post also starts with a coinmarketcap screenshot.


No it's not. This is Bitcoin related. Far superior tech replacing your precious BTC.
This is a discussion about another useless coin. This is not related to Bitcoin (making a price comparison != related to Bitcoin/B. Discussion).





Please lets stop talking about Bitcoin's technical limitations, because this way they will go away... and please don't mention any better, efficient and advanced solutions especially in the forum where most crypto enthusiasts/investors gather to get information, this way Bitcoin will never fail...


One thing you've got right, I have to stop posting hints about the dead horse, the time of free hints is gone... this will be the last one I promise.

Edit: I stopped visiting this sub-forum for almost a year, I got more productive, I will stop visiting again.... nothing good comes out of here, this is my last post ever in the speculation sub-forum.

We wont give our costumers what they need
Your customers need free money. No doubt about that.

...especially with other better and efficient services raising... this really seems like a smart move.
Yes, it is a smart move. Get rid of such customers! Let them go to and ruin the other 'efficient services'.
If it is the only type of customers you have then you don't offer value in your service and you should change your business!

Read my previous comment, you really fail to understand the issue here, it is not about free or cheap transactions (although this is how we always advertised bitcoin) but it is about Block size, 90% of transactions in the queue have a valid paid fees. but there is no space to include them.

However, If you want me to pay $1 fee for a $20 worth of goods/services then I am telling you that Bitcoin is for sure failing.


I don't know what the fuck you are doing back and hanging out here and spreading your additional FUD regarding the perils and death of bitcoin?

Didn't you cash out of your total bitcoins about a year and a half ago, and you were proclaiming the same bullshit and then wouldn't leave the forum in order to keep rubbing in about how right you were about bitcoin going to zero, etc...etc. etc....

Why don't you go off and enjoy your bitcoin free life?  What you need to be hanging around this thread and telling bitcoin investors that bitcoin is dying, when you really are just making things up for some seemingly malicious intermeddling purpose.

I thought you were in my ignore list, I think it is time to revisit it... yea, but if you are curious: I am a developer and I develop services around crypto, besides, any developer can have an opinion about the Bitcoin block size issue...


BTW: it is not your problem how I do spend my precious time, instead of attacking my person you can argue my points (not that I think you understand a single thing about the technical side of Bitcoin)


Edit1: BTW, don't bother responding to this, you are already back to my ignore list, a troll with an inflated ego is what you are.

Edit2: I never left, I just stopped speculating, I had/have full hands with work on actual development.

Can miners fork to 2MB and still stay with Core?

Or they're back on Classic??

Miners as individuals can do what they want. The issue becomes when they mine that first 1.01MB block and it gets rejected by the network (or not).

actually, they will just be on their own fork, it will get rejected from other nodes that runs Core but it will be valid on their chain and they will keep mining higher blocks, it will be the longest chain with most work, as Satoshi implied before: Bitcoin will be what the longest chain with the most work decides it to be.
