Not really ... This is yet another non-news with a previous announcement of announcement ... This only gives bad rep to the management. It creates artificial hype for nothing. Seriously, they need to stop these teasers and just announce things when they announce them, and let the public decide if it's huge or not, not build up expectations and release news that don't live up to them. On a positive note, good to hear that there is one node that does not belong to the NEO foundation and that there might be more to come. its a good news, if they become really decentralized then by SEC law the profits are not taxed, so it is BIG news. It is, I didn't say it wasn't, it was just over-hyped (as usual). It's a beginning in the right direction, and it was somehow expected since the new node was operating on the testnet for quite a while ... Can you please explain how becoming decentralized will make the profits not taxed? |

Doesn't seem like Isolani159 quit. In the OP: Chess Token is generated to be an intermediate tool to actualize ChessCoin new plans and roadmap. Once ChessCoin Token establishes its value, that's the right time to upgrade ChessCoin to new level of a world currency for Chess.
Apparently there are plans to upgrade ChessCoin but that is still unclear for the time being. This is the new project of Isolani159: https://etherscan.io/token/0x90663f99e508c821ec9bc3634e36ce6e115f25f7
And this is an ERC20 token and was created and exists on the Ethereum Blockchain - were created from one day to the next, so they have no history and no past… Where should the trust come from for these tokens? Reliance on these ERC20 tokens is relatively low because the further development of these projects requires their own blockchain and their own developers. Here's the list of tokens on this Ethereum Blockchain: https://etherscan.io/tokens?p=1The other thing that hinders confidence in a secure future for these tokens is that the creator can create new tokens overnight and throw away the old ones - there is no independent network and no security! Many user have an interest and want to see how the network work. For example ChessCoin - there are 20 - 25 permanent nodes and that gives you a lot of confidence in the network! Here's the list of ChessCoin tokens on this Ethereum Blockchain: https://etherscan.io/tokens?q=ChessThere are many examples that started on the Ethereum Blockchain and later to independent they build your own blockchain - why should ChessCoin take a step back and break away from an independent blockchain? Agree, that's why I asked Isolani159 for more details in one of my previous posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1510517.msg41208304#msg41208304. And no, I will not support ChessCash and Isolani159 and this ERC20 Token.
It would've been beneficial for all, I think, if all the projects could find a common ground instead of having multiple ones. Anyway, what will be will be, let's see how this plays out. But Isolani159 you srsly need to engage in the conversation to better explain your vision. |

I can do what I want. You can do what you want too Members of my community and the chess world at large can do whatever they want  Of course , yet it's always probably better when people get together and concentrate on one cryptocurrency instead of having multiple ones that can serve the same purpose. !!!Attention very important!!! - ChessCoin haven't an active developer - now the ChessCoin Foundation is looking for an Chief Developer to built a Team for ChessCoin.
- If we don't find a developer, there will be no foundation and ChessCoin will die!
ZzzzeyeZzzz have you seen the OP, Isolani159 updated it with some new info, the plan is not clear though ... I still think you guys should try and get together to better manage your different projects ... |

Ok for the good news. However, the lack of updates concerning investors and the token is alarming. Can't the Apla guys have someone work on developing a wallet to access the tokens? I mean these guys held an ICO and distributed tokens that are not usable for the time being and it has almost been two years. The least they can do is work on a wallet and on an exchange listing or have some kind of OTC trading channel on a discord or a slack or something. If they don't intend to have any use for the distributed tokens, the right thing to do would be to refund the investors. As things stand now, despite the appearing progress, the behavior towards holders is very unethical. Hello ... Wallet and access to token are working ... all eGaaS token are automatically turn to Apla token....ICO fund from first round had been used for dev wages for delivering our roadmap and promotion.... as you know not all token sold and we still fighting with available fund and some reports are actually reported here if you read a few pages back and we have much much progress on deploying Apla platform in some project. When I go to apla.io and click on download the wallet, it says the wallet will be available soon ... Can you please point me to where I can get a wallet that is up-to-date and maintained? (I did find the old wallet on the eGaaS site but I'm not confident in installing it since eGaaS is supposed to transition to Apla). As I said, they seem to be making progress, it's just that the token is not exchangeable ... A new thread will publish ASAP
Cool. Thanks for your support in french and congratulation on last night win....
You are welcome and thank you . |

I don't wanna be the party pooper here but this is starting to get a bit messy ...
ChessCash I understand that you created an ERC-20 token named ChessCoin Cash that you want to airdrop to ChessCoin holders and that is given as a reward upon completing social activities, my question is where would ChessCoin Cash get its value from? Why would anyone wanna buy or sell it?
Isolani159 we need more details about your plan.
You guys should eventually join forces, It doesn't seem to make sense to have three coins (ChessCoin, ChessCoin Cash and the Chess token) going around ...

Just saw the intent on the OP to swap the pos-coin for an ethereum token.
Thank you for pointing out that the OP was updated. As far as my understanding goes it's not a swap but an airdrop. Starting a new token de-legitimizes the old, well running chain.
Agree. Isolani159, however states that the idea is to prepare the upgrade of ChessCoin by introducing Chess token, I have to say that I don't see how this might work ... Isolani159 can you please give more info about how you envision this? Also, increasing supply from 70 million to 1 billion is, well, kind of nuts.
This won't happen since both coins will continue existing. Besides, we all know ethereum is a lost cause :-D
Probably  . Isolani159, why Ethereum? If you áre going to swap, a screenshot as proof is easy to fake.
+1 You can sign with the address you hold the priv key of.
+1. What could be done for instance, is signing the Ethreum address used for claiming with the private key of the ChessCoin address. Three elements are needed, the ChessCoin address, the Ethereum address and the signed message. There is no need for neither an email, a screenshot nor the balance, and no need to send a micro transaction. Also concerning the 10% for the community (Telegram and Twitter followers), Telegram and Twitter accounts can be bought and/or operated by bots (fake), this opens the door to abuse ... It's not clear how the 30% that is going to holders will be distributed. I assume it would be according to the ratio of held ChessCoins relatively to the total of registered ChessCoins? In this case the list of registered addresses (ChessCoin and Ethereum) should be public, this doesn't undermine the privacy of the holders and will make things transparent. And also I think a date should be picked to make a snapshot of the blockchain and the airdrop should be done according to the balances at the time of the snapshot. Concerning the 30% "used for fund raising", does this mean you'll be doing an ICO? If so, then I assume you'll produce a white paper, investors should have reasons to buy Chess token, I hope you'll give them some . |

Short answer: No Long answer: It somehow still baffles me how some people always expect the worse and get ahead of themselves and events with what-ifs. I can probably safely assume that the hashrate of these pools is not restricted to Jihan Wu's faithful soldiers, so even if Jihan intended to do a 51% attack, I assume that other miners would leave the pools to prevent that, unless all of them are on board with the attack, which seems quite hard to imagine. Why would he do that and kill his business and his reputation? Does anyone here think that if a 51% attack is done on the Bitcoin network any other crypto would survive? That'll probably be the end of an industry that I believe could be worth trillions in the not-so-far future. In my opinion, This is just another pseudo-journalism salary-justifying FUD-spreading article. As usual, this is just my opinion and I'll be happy to hear different thoughts. |

I have GPU rigs (AMD graphic cards), can I mine the coin?
There is no public GPU miner as of this date. There is a bounty for the development of a GPU miner and apparently at least one person (group of people) is working on it. Or this one is mineable for only CPU?
As far as what is publicly known, for the time being, yes. |

The quote seems to contain a suspicious link, I'm reporting it, please report as well. (I will delete this post once the post with the link is removed by a moderator.)
Strange, I can’t find any suspicious link in the quoted post.  Indeed, it's no longer pointing to mega.nz ... My assumption is the post was edited after my post. There doesn't seem to be a way to verify that though ... Well all's well that ends well. |

Amazing update! I like how ByteBall just keeps rolling on, bearmarket or not  One day this will be rewarded. Installing the new update as soon as I get home!

Funny how you make it sound like we actually all think that a crusade is a good thing and Islam is a bad thing (as far as my interpretation of being lucky is concerned) . |

A little food for thought. I like looking at historical price data to assess a project.
Exactly 1 year ago on June 21, 2017, KMD price was around $2.11 while BTC price was $2700. KMD volume at this time was around 1.2 mil.
Today, KMD price is around $1.81 and BTC is at around $6700. KMD volume is currently about $300k.
So was KMD overvalued 1 year ago or incredibly undervalued today? Alot of good things have happened in a year for KMD. Much improved wallet, release of BarterDEX, 3 DICOs going with more to come, plus many more things in the pipeline. Bottom line is great, working tech.
Next question is, if KMD is undervalued, then why? Is the market really that stupid or is it another issue? The tech is sound, so should this be a wake up call for the marketing team? I don't know. Just something to think about.
Part of what you're not taking into account is that all markets went, pretty much, insane just before the time of your base comparison. Once you get past that, you should ignore the pseudo USD price of combining mutiple markets to arrive at a "price" that's not truely a legitimate value. Now, let's look at real markets: March 14, 2017 - KMD/BTC - 0.00000751 April 14, 2017 - KMD/BTC - 0.00011952 Dec 11, 2017 - KMD/BTC - 0.00018155 June 20, 2018 - KMD/BTC - 0.00027889 Plot it all on a realistic trendline and you get:  Even the massive "crashes" that amount to nothing more than realistic corrections end up on an upward trend. Where did you obtain those numbers? They don't seem to correlate with what's on CMC. Also seems a bit like you're cherry picking dates to make your data look like what you want. I'm simply just comparing today to exactly one year ago to make a point that even though KMD has advanced so much tech-wise, the price has gone the opposite direction in terms of BTC. I'm not trying to FUD. Was just wanting to strike up a conversation and see if anyone could come up with a good reason/solution. Not sure where all these fudders suddenly came out from. Reminds me of why I don't hang out in these forums much anymore. RichardT the numbers do correlate with what's on CMC. ComputerGenie why do you actually consider only the lows to be the real market? And concerning that 750 sat low, it's one of two things: Either it's a glitch in the chart, or, more likely, is related to the hack that happened back in the days when KMD was listed on cryptox.pl and some entity generated fake coins and dumped them there. That's actually the least rational value of that chart. |

hi, I need help. I sent bytes from one wallet to another and the bytes never arrived. what should I do?
Have you checked in the explorer https://explorer.byteball.org? Do you see your bytes anywhere? Maybe you mistyped the destination address. |

I get that the circulating supply is very limited for the time being, but anybody buying at these prices should be aware that this scarcity will only last for two months, since after that, the block reward will be 96 and the equivalent of what has been pow-mined in the 3.5 first days (and which is now spendable), will be pow-mined in 3.5 days once the block reward becomes 96.
The coin just launched and the team has yet to produce a white paper explaining their vision. Buying this coin for xxx times what it costs to mine makes no sense at all for the time being, well it could make sense (but still) if the buyer is looking for a greater fool (literally) to sell to for a higher price in the upcoming 53 days ... Of course the market is not necessary rational so anything is possible.
Just remember that people sell only if they think they are making a good deal (or they need the money), so if someone tells you it will be worth $100 and is still selling it to you for 1/10 of that, something doesn't seem right ...
I don´t have a clue whats the value of VRSC, i just offered a price that seems to be fair for me to sell at the moment. There no hint, scam or anything else. I mined from the first blocks on with a I7 6700 and was lucky to find some unlocked blocks....so here´s the deal No offense intended, I was merely balancing the selling offers by pointing out things that I think buyers should be aware of. I estimate that the daily unlocked coins will be a small minority compared to the 92VRSC coinbases when the halvings get us there Agree on that (*96). Why is that actually relevant? $10 does not seem an unreasonable price level for unlocked VRSC at this time
At this time, without taking into account the circulating coins that will reward the blocks mined after 2 months, maybe. Still, we have no idea about what the team wants to accomplish, let's at least wait for the white paper. Trading VRSC right now really doesn't make much sense to me. It would be like trading BTC when it appeared (at least Bitcoin had a white paper), nobody did that cuz nobody could put a price on it, everybody was just mining, and when use cases started to appear and demand started to grow, then fiat trading started. Are you prepared to buy VRSC for $10? If yes, why? |

My wallet corrupted because of my mistake and I found I only have a backup of ~/.config/byteball before the last airdrop, and therefore the last airdrop(Nov 2017) of blackbytes could not be recovered. Anybody knows is there a way to recover it? Thank you.
I can still open the old sqlite database. Are there any tables I can merge into the backup in order to recover the blackbytes? Normally, your balances should update once you have recovered from your backup. There is a possibility that your address did simply not receive the blackbytes, this has happened in the past. Verify that your Byteball address was indeed linked (to a Bitcoin address) before the distribution, and if so, contact Tony, he is the only one who can resend the blackbytes. |

There is a second update (after https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4070404.msg38754844#msg38754844) that seems mandatory because otherwise you'll be mining on another chain ... The second update is available on the website. Yesterday, I updated according to the post. Today, I updated with the second update and all seemed fine, however when I checked one of the last blocks (getblock <blockid>) it didn't have the same hash as the one displayed in the block explorer for that block. So I removed all the files in .komodo/VRSC (I'm on Linux) apart from wallet.dat and started Agama, I then had the "RPC connection" error, so I restarted Agama and it was fine, however, the last block I minded is no longer visible. Either I mined it on another chain or I'm missing something. That block was mined at 8:xx AM UTC, does this make sense? Almost certainly that block was mined on a fork that was orphaned. The RPC issue was our nodes getting blocked yesterday, which led to a number of problems. We have addressed that issue, but we are still investigating sync problems right now. If you got up to date on the network and don't see the block, 99.9% (or more) chance that it was just mined on an orphaned chain. Are you saying that it was also mined by someone else, and that's why it was orphaned, or something else? Was it normal that I was on another chain despite having installed the (first) update before the deadline? It seems the second update is mandatory to mine on the right/strongest chain, if so, can you please make a(n official) post about it here? Glad to hear that you are working on fixing issues, not that I doubted it in the first place . Keep up the good work. |
