1221  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Bter / Polo Owner Names on: February 08, 2016, 04:06:50 AM
How come the owner names got stripped out of the top two Bter and Polo accounts at live.crypti.me?  

Another question - can we switch from 0.1% fee to 0.1 XCR fee until the Lisk ICO is over?
1222  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][LISK] Lisk | ICO | Decentralized Application & Sidechain Platform on: February 08, 2016, 02:24:41 AM
I already sold my 3 million XCR.  Got 2000plus satoshis for it months ago.  I no longer have any financial interest in XCR, so I can speak the truth without fear of a price crash in XCR.  

Dude.  (Ugly) Open Source Fork Is Not A Crime.

If you have no dog in this XCR / LISK fight, sing Let It Go and leave this thread to watch some sunsets.  No, not the Frozen song, the Michael Bay one:



 Everything's that's broke
 Leave it to the breeze
 Let the ashes fall
 Forget about me

 Come on let it go
 Just let it be
 Why don't you be you
 And I'll be me
 And I'll be me

Fitting comparison, Mal.  Robespierre was one of the main instigators of the French Revolution, he was eventually  betrayed by his co-revolutionaries, and lost his head to the guillotine.  

I'm not 100% happy about how things have turned out, either, Latoshi.  But I know enough about history to say coups and revolutions and hostile takeovers happen.  People have to adjust when change happens, and change is usually messier than anybody expected before it's over.  Robespierre felt the sting of the guillotine. I predict Lisk will feel the sting of unexpected long-term downward price pressure from large forging rewards hitting the exchanges; an empty, unmotivated Standby Delegate corps; and a developing oligarchy class of Active Delegates whose rewards give them additional votes to stay in power even as the genesis Community voting power is diluted with time.  

Crypti was a pure PoS coin with pure DPoS voting, which was part of its beauty.  Lisk, despite all of its positive attirbutes, is neither.

However, this revolution is at least "legal" as an open source fork, even if it feels like a heist / robbery because it happened fast and in secret.  At least Crypti holders have a conversion path forward instead of a fistful of worthless numbers.   This option is to Max and Oliver's credit, they didn't have to do it.  They have put themselves in the driver's seat of this train mainly because nobody was strong enough to stop them.  Don't blame Max and Olivier for that, blame the people who have "Crypti Foundation Board of Directors" tags by their names.  

And you know Murphy's Golden Rule:

Say, do you realize that your reward categories currently total to over 1,000,000 Lisk?  Maybe you need to drop the Facebook reward from 150K to 100K...
Yes, we do realize that. Currently there are only 20 Facebook likes, imagine once there are 300 in 10 weeks. Being early pays, but overall the money will be distributed to quite a lot of different people. Smiley

I'm not sure we are communicating yet.   You say Newsletter gets 0.20M, Facebook gets 0.15M, Twitter gets 0.20M, Sig gets 0.20M, Translations get 0.30M.  0.20+0.15+0.20+0.20+0.30 = 1.05M.  You say 1.00M Lisk is being set aside for rewards.  Where is the other 0.05M=50K Lisk coming from?

Another question.  During the ICO, would Lisk be willing to please post daily information on donations at a Google spreadsheet?
1225  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][LISK] Lisk | ICO | Decentralized Application & Sidechain Platform on: February 06, 2016, 04:25:28 PM
Signature updated.  Good luck, Olivier and Max!  Go Lisk!

I've made the change in my delegate list post above, thanks for the link.

Getting the Crypti DPoS system healthy is the first priority for Crypti to survive.

A massive reshuffle of Crypti votes in the past few days has left the DPoS system reeling.  Currently over 30% of DPoS Active Delegates are offline, and soon an additional 35% of Active Delegates will go offline, too.

17 "Long-Time" Delegates That Are Currently Offline:

amanai
arman
Azkhabar
boris
cryptiNeo
Dragon88
escrow
Ferrari
HolyGrail
lead.developer
Lenticularis
LesPaul
masterforger
peanuts
poker
TwoTime
wsec

15 "New" Active Delegates That Have Apparently Not Yet Set Up A Node, So Also Currently Offline:

An additional 15 new recruits have apparently gone from Standby to Active, and they obviously have not set up a node yet.  Hopefully they will...if only they could be contacted. (THIS IS WHY I HAVE ADVOCATED GATHERING EMAIL ADDRESSES IN THE CLIENT WHEN SIGNING UP TO BE A DELEGATE - MAYBE YOU GUYS WILL IMPLEMENT THIS NOW?).  They will probably need help if / when they set up a node, a role previously done mainly by Max and Olivier...

32 Currently Forging Nodes By Olivier / Max That Will Go Offline Soon:

Olivier is currently running an additional 29 Crypti nodes he will be shutting down on March 21.  Max is running at least 3 more Crypti nodes, maybe more, that are going away also.

Aetherfields
AncientIsland
AuroraBorealis
BlackSands
CircularRuins
CryptiChain
CryptiChat
CryptiKit

Karmacoma
Karmacrypto
Kiara
Koronoko
LostCaverns
Lyra
Nyx
Olivier
Tchamantche
Telomere
Verbena
Zen

Max
CHIP
Raspberry Pi

Do the math.  To get to 101 Forging Delegates, 17 + 15 + 29 + 3 = 64 Crypti nodes need to be set up by March 21 - less than 60 days away.

26 Current Standby Delegates / New Community Members Who Could Go Online

Here's 26 current standby delegates who are not original Crypti Foundation nodes.  I recommend voting these individuals up.  We know nothing about them other than their demonstrated willingness to join Crypti and their desire to participate.  In desperate times, that's enough.  If only we knew their emails and could contact them...oh wait, I already ranted on that above.

1229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / DPoS Security Means Community Involvement on: February 01, 2016, 09:06:14 PM
I personally think 101 delegates are too much, untill XCR gets bigger.

Can the number of Delegates be lowered? How does it affect the network? Is this something you could decrease and/or increase with ease?

It is at 101 to make a 51% attack very hard.

Because of the 10 second block time, and the 6-10 confirms for transactions, a large number of forging nodes is necessary to insure that a random set chosen to confirm a transaction are not all trojan nodes designed to steal the XCR or to foul up the network. 


This would be accurate if the 101 Club had 101 individual people running a single server.  The current setup, with Olivier running 35 of the 101 servers, not so much.  Crypti cannot claim to be secure as long as just a few Foundation members control the top 101 servers - as we have seen.  Expanded community involvement is a must.

1230  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Version Questions on: February 01, 2016, 12:33:17 PM
I am still trying to wrap my head around all of this.  I need answers to questions.

1. The current versions of Crypti that have been released are 0.5.2 for the Crypti wallet client and 0.5.4 for Delegates, right?  0.5.2 is a "light" version that only allows transactions and 0.5.4 creates new blocks, right?

2. There is a 0.5.5 version under test that has not yet been released to the public, right?  Is this a client wallet version for making transactions or a Delegate version that writes to the blockchain? 

3. What are the main new features that will go online with 0.5.5?

4. What is the target release date for Crypti 0.5.5?

5. When will Crypti 0.5.5 source code be released via Github?

6. Did Max / Olivier have access to Crypti 0.5.5 code to use it for the basis of a fork?  Or will their fork be based on Crypti 0.5.2 / 0.5.4?
1231  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / New Crypti Active Delegates on: November 20, 2015, 01:39:48 PM

If you need to send to Polo, or any exchange, always send a small amount first to test the system, before sending a larger amount.

Excellent advice.  In other exchange news, Bter moved 3M XCR from their cold wallet to their hot wallet (almost 18% of their cold wallet reservoir), and 1.5M of THAT went from the hot wallet back on the XCR blockchain to individual users.  And more specifically, apparently NOT into Polo.

So Crypti available supply on the exchanges is falling.  And... the price of XCR is headed up???

Maybe the OP or the website should add some info and DIY guide for new miners that come here..

Hmmm......I am starting to realize this is no ordinary cryptocoin.  Where is the market for Siafunds?  Or is there one?

I come from Crypti.  Take me to your leader.

Seriously, I am still trying to wrap my head around what has just happened with this partnership.  So far it sounds like a great match for both of us.  I'm still trying to absorb the whitepaper and understand the economics of your enterprise.  In any event, it shows great imagination so good luck!

I see you have a SIA trading thread.  Where do I find out the basics of mining SIA?  Where are you tracking / posting the current hash rate etc for SIA?

I've tried to use the new Lite Client for Windows with mixed results.  When I try to vote on new delegates, I click on the "CONFIRM VOTE" heart and a few seconds later I get a small black rectangle that says "undefined" that appears briefly and then disappears just under the blue "SEND" button.   The "Vote for Delegates" windows stays up until I cancel it, and the votes don't go through onto the blockchain.  Any idea what that's about?
Yes, I encountered the lag on the lite client (we call it just Crypti now) as well. The reason is, that the API might be working slow sometimes. Boris already made some big improvements and we will release it with the huge packet the Dapp release will bring us. Smiley  So if it's far too slow, then close it and open again. Maybe the node you re-connected to is faster.

Any way for an updated client to show the delegate we're connected to, and to click a button to connect to another one?  We could start collecting valuable info on delegates with poor service...

Lots of great work since my last post, congrats to all!  I've been on vacation and trying to catch up at work...

I've tried to use the new Lite Client for Windows with mixed results.  When I try to vote on new delegates, I click on the "CONFIRM VOTE" heart and a few seconds later I get a small black rectangle that says "undefined" that appears briefly and then disappears just under the blue "SEND" button.   The "Vote for Delegates" windows stays up until I cancel it, and the votes don't go through onto the blockchain.  Any idea what that's about?

The new website looks great.  Once I am successful with voting on delegates using the new Lite client, I have some recruitment ideas I'm gonna do for new Crypti delegates....

Home PCs / Raspberry Pis on slow home networks couldn't run the Crypti main blockchain.  So, can master dapp nodes have an adjustable time (longer that 10 seconds) to perform side chain block addition?  It would be a big plus to run master dapp nodes and side chains at home on $35 Raspberry Pis instead of just on expensive server farms.    Many more users would try to run Crypti dapps if it could be done on cheap computers running on home networks.  We should try to make this a possible option on dapp side chain master servers. 
1238  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XCR] Crypti | DPoS | 100% own code | Dapp Store on: July 10, 2015, 03:40:18 PM
Max, your dapp overview is very good and still has me thinking.  

Is it possible to write the XCR code so master dapp nodes have an adjustable time (longer that 10 seconds) to perform side chain block addition?   Say a dapp author was OK with modifying the side chain every 30 seconds or once a minute.  This would probably overcome the latency problem that disqualified using home PCs / Raspberry Pis on slow home networks that were not hooked up to an internet backbone.   The ability to run master dapp nodes and side chains on $35 Raspberry Pi 2 quad-core computers at home instead of just at expensive server farms would be a big plus to Crypti.   Many more users would try to run Crypti dapps if it could be done on cheap computers running on home networks.  We had hoped to do this with the 10 second XCR main chain and it didn't work.  We should try to make this a possible option on dapp side chain master servers.  

A second thought - maybe we should do a whole new [ANN] announcement here on BTC for XCR dapps, to let people know that XCR has revolutionary new capabilities beyond the typical cryptocurrency.

The process is the following:


Thanks for the details, Max.  This is a very good and very important overview.  I will need a little time to read your words and come up with my next round of questions ;-)

In the meantime, here is an article on brain wallet cracking worth reading, since that's what XCR uses:
