I'm talking about the working repository that has the fix.

The latest change in the "official" repo (https://github.com/CryptoRepairCrew/Android-Token-V2) is from 18 days ago and puts in only some checkpoints.

It doesn't have a fix.

Where is the working repo with the fix so I can know that it is fixed and get off your thread?

We are not the same person and not working together.

I think Phelps has the right idea.

I'll work with the present team if possible. But if it comes down to it, I'll push out my own version of the coin.

However, unless Zack's coins are provably ill-begotten, I'm not going to block anyone's coins, for any amount of compensation.

I'm not trying to force anyone out. I want to put in a fix. That's it. Read my PMs again.

I've requested a look at the working repo several times. If I saw a fix in there that would work, I would have disappeared already.

Where's the repo?

Outing me instead of communicating on the backchannels isn't going to help ADT.

Cryptsy will go with a functioning network in the end.

[edit]

What's funny is that I don't think that those who have invested in ADT will see my PMs as negative as you do.

I think they will see someone who is genuinely interested and capable of saving this coin.


[edit]

Also, after I'm done fixing it, feel free to merge my changes back into your own repo. I'm not trying to take over ADT. I'm going to fix it and then I will be done.

No!!!!!!!! That's not how staking works! If the rate is set at 2.5%, then the inflation is 2.5% APR, with compounding roughly at the stake rate.

You have to set the rate at 54.44% to get 54.44% APR!!!!

[edit]

If you are worried about that level of inflation, then you are safe to set the rate at 5%. Then you'll get roughly 5% APR + compounding. If the stake rate is 15 days with a 30 day full weight, then expect a compounding period to be 22.5 days or so. So your realized rate will only be 0.308% per period.

[edit]

In this latter example, the effective APR after compounding would be barely above 5% (5.12%, to be nearly exact).

How do you arrive at an APR of 54.44% from an APR of 2.5%?

That's simply not true.

Bladecoin went from PoW/PoS (with lots of problems) to PoS only. It hasn't had a problem in a month.

Pure PoS is a proven concept that works. Look at results!

https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/4178-blade-now-only-proof-of-stake-available-on-xnigma-formerly-avail-cryptorush-final-version

Zeit: pure PoS, no problems: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=487814.0

Mint: pure PoS, no problems: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=450381.0

Wait, is this coin PoW/PoS or just PoS? Something isn't right on the OP, then: "[ANN] Androids Tokens v2.0 [Proof of Stake] [very low inflation]".

Is it 1 coin per block PoW, or what?

What does this mean: "Total coins 66,800,000,000  + 1.2% / year max"? Is that the PoW inflation or the PoS inflation, because PoS is supposed to be 2.5%.

This coin won't be a good investment if miners are minting coins hand over fist at low difficulty. Too many coin devs think that crazy mining helps a coin. It only hurts because the inflation is unreasonable relative to the work invested by the miners. There should be a balance and then mining should be discontinued when it isn't needed any more, as soon as possible. It is a point of attack and many coins have suffered.

Look at coin2. How did it fix it's vulnerabilities? It went to pure PoS. Problem solved. PoW is a security burden if it is not needed.

Finally: The idea to have short staking times is fine. The actual APR doesn't change by modifying the stake times. Take a lesson from blackcoin. It forces users to keep their wallets open and secure the network. Don't be fixated on an ideology. Look at results.

It's still unclear. Is cryptsy on the ADT 2.0 block chain or not?

That is, if I buy ADT from cryptsy, will it transfer to my 2.0 wallet?

Inflation is only 105 MM per year, but the OP says 10 B. That's not a good way to be wrong.

I like PoS coins, but I'm wondering if I should invest in this one.

What happens to the unclaimed coins from the ADT -> ADT 2.0 conversion?

Do they get burned at some point and if so, when?

It would be nice to know what the plans are.

Why do I need to disprove your claims? That's a well known fallacy called the "teapot fallacy":

  There is a tiny tea kettle orbiting the sun. We can't see it from earth. Disprove this statement.

Prove what, exactly?

The future for this coin is PoS. De_logics claims that PoS is not good. Do you want this claim to go unanswered in this thread? His claim is simply not true and I will address the claim each time he renews it.

I have a reasonably sized buy order at a low price. If you don't like the bickering, please feel free to dump right into it. Let me know and I'll add to my order.

Why would the difficulty of A be higher? You are trying to conflate apples and oranges.

Let me separate the concepts for you:

If it were a PoW network with 10 miners and someone had the mining capacity of 100 miners, they could easily attack the coin.

If it were a PoS network with 10 miners and and someone had the mining capacity of 100 miners, they'd still need to buy up 51% of the coin, making half of the original miners rich.

That's the difference and that's the reason you have never proven yourself correct by attacking a PoS coin. You just don't have the funds to do it.

I guess the route you have chosen is to spam PoS coin threads with your anti-PoS blog text. I agree, that may be a modestly effective way to attack PoS coins, but it doesn't change the underlying reality.

For Proof of Stake, difficulty does not translate into security. Difficulty in Proof of Stake is a parameter used to keep the block times close to the target. Security in Proof of Stake comes from the stake. That's why it's called "Proof of Stake".

Try this experiment: pick a Proof of Stake coin like Blade with a tiny PoS difficulty and buy say 10,000 BLA. Now, you'll have some stake. Split it into 10,000 transactions and put these in a wallet on a machine with as many GPUs as you have. Since everyone staking blade right now is staking on their CPUs, the total network hashes is maybe 10 KH/s. So, with a modest investment, you could have easily 100 times the hashes as the entire rest of the network--for staking. Now, see how long it takes you to 51% the Blade network with this setup.

Of you course won't try because you know that such a plan would never work given that you wouldn't own the requisite 51% of Blade to launch a successful 51% PoS attack. Acquiring that stake, my friend, will cost you. But if you try, and when you get close to 51% ownership, please let me know and I will, as a kind favor, sell you mine for market price. Then, when you crash your own hard-won investment just to make a point, we can both have a hearty laugh at your success.

On the other hand, when you get desperate to validate your own ideologies (or more likely get frustrated with me personally for being so correct in these matters), you must resist the urge to set your GPUs solving Proof of Work blocks to attack Blade, because that would basically be your admission that PoW is indeed the weak link in a PoW/PoS coin.

I thought you were outtta here. I mined this coin 24 hours per day for 2 months. Where were you when you could mine 35,000 coins a day with one card?

I'm glad it's going PoS. The sooner the better in my opinion.

Read the posts again, you aren't missing out on much coin. If you want a lot, just go buy some. It's still cheap!

No you don't. You simply don't make any sense.

Your worst error is suggesting above that the difficulty of PoS has any bearing on the protection that PoS provides a coin.


Let's look at just a few of your other comments:


If 100% of mint has 0% protection, then why has it not succumbed to an attack on its vulnerabilities? The answer is that PoS provides the protection. You simply ignore (or more likely are unable to recognize) this fact.

Mint is protected by the PoS network.


You go on to contradict yourself:


Which you follow with


Which is it? First you suggest that too few will keep a wallet open to mint and then you suggest that too many people will do it.

Did you just time travel from pre-Copernican Europe to criticize altcoins? Because your critique has all the features of Medieval Occultism. Most notably, it is clear from what you have written that you have made judgements without even the slightest understanding of how PoW/PoS coins work.

First, the PoS difficulty is supposed to be much, much lower than the PoW difficulty in a PoW/PoS coin. That's by design and is part of the source code. The reason is that the likelihood that a stake will qualify for minting is based entirely on coin age. Once qualified, the low PoS difficulty allows the stake miner to find a hash with very few resources and within the target block time.

Second, all of the attacks suffered by PoW/PoS coins are directed at the PoW component. EBT is a case in point. Just read the summary above. In fact, if you read all the way through, you'll see that to get the servers synchronized, they use the blockchain kept by the PoS minters. Proof of this fact can be seen by the long stretches of PoS blocks.

Finally, if you read the entire Blade thread, the Blade APR is 20.19%, in line with the Bladerunner theme of the coin, not 100%. It looks like someone on the Balde team needs to update the OP.
