Looks like someone sold in to the wall.  That's actually kind of funny.  I wonder what their motivations are... On the plus side that means that SuperNET itself now has a nice check of UNITY shares now. Those might come in handy at some point in the future. Possibly selling their SuperNET for buy blocknet. they will regret very soon , but regret is useless. That's very likely. I don't think it's just a coincidence that the dump happened right as blocknet is doing their ITO. Whoever it is is probably hoping for a quick profit that they didn't see with SuperNET |

That's very optimistic, imo. I think it's also funny he said this on a later post: I'm also wondering whether going open source is a good idea or not. If a clone platform comes out where fees are half the price, won't ordinary everyday users who want things like cloud storage just go with the cheapest option? This isn't like Bitcoin, since the value of this platform is derived from the services not from a currency... I therefore anticipate clones to be more damaging than ordinary coin clones. Wonder what James thinks about this. In my opinion, I really like the openness of SuperNET. That's really the way it should be in the crypto world. |

i see 36000+ bets on btcd.flippoker.net!
Is that number real? If so, that's amazing. 8000+ for nxt.flippoker.net 5000+ for supernet.flippoker.net as near as I can tell it is real, but small wagers, plus there is a faucet, so maybe some people setup a bot? Very addictive game too Yeah I went a few rounds and ended up losing haha. Guess that's why they say the house always wins. But I can definitely see the attraction. This whole casino and betting stuff can become very popular. Going to be very nice when we start getting revenues/dividends from some of it. |

Has anyone here heard from smcardle and/or know what his status is (i.e. if he's coming back)? I have an interesting proposal to make and I'd like to see if there's a way we can contact him. And it has to be him, because it involves the web wallet and slots game, which was his work.

Very wonderful progress being made! Thanks, as ever, James. I'd love to know the motives of the dumper. I think this is a fundamental difference between SuperNET and BlockNET: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=829576.msg9313526#msg9313526Please feel free to chip in to whatever discussion results. I just can't see how BlockNET will compare from a revenue-generation point of view. There is an odd silence in the BlockNET thread about this... I will bump it again in the morning if I don't get an answer, though I suspect things are going on in the background. Great point you bring up here Cassius! Your question is definitely getting some play in the Blocknet forum now. I've seen many asking for clarity and have NOT seen any answers which clearly explain a direct answer to the qustion. Very slick Mister!  Peace they've answered, the guy puts on like his smart, but always lies regarding how SuperNET works in comparisons. Guess is the price drop in XC show's not many people really on board with the clone. After going through the XC devs' more recent posts, I feel they lack the ability or smarts to manage something that huge (from a financial and economical standpoint). In my opinion, that's one of the major differences between Supernet and Blocknet. James has a very firm understanding of all this stuff in addition to his coding ability. It's even hard to tell if XC devs can pull it off from a developmental standpoint since they are currently closed source and no one can check the progress being made. Yet another major difference. |

Hi guys, I just wanted to post something about blocknet. I don't want to troll their thread, so I thought I'd post it here. Here is their claim: There are at least three fundamental differences between the Blocknet and Supernet:
- XBridge is not an RPC call protocol, it's a true P2P protocol
- There's no central or core currency, unlike SuperNET, which uses BTCD for this
- Joining the Blocknet does not involve 10% of a coin's money supply being bought and centrally controlled
1. SuperNET calls are made via rpc to the coin daemon, yet the network uses a kademlia dht, like bittorrent. Plus, is he saying that bitcoin is not 'true p2p' because it uses rpc calls? Does he think SuperNET has a point of centralization somewhere? 2. BitcoinDark is not 'the' central currency to SuperNET. Does he not realize that SuperNET runs on top of the NXT blockchain? BitcoinDark is the first coin with SuperNET integrated and has teleport, yes. Is he saying that individual coins cannot be integral parts of the network by offering their respective unique techs? 3. SuperNET purchased these coins on the open market, necessarily raising the NAV of the SuperNET asset. Are the blocknet guys ignorant of the facts, or are they being intentionally misleading? Hi folks Just to say thanks for this post. It's insightful and we'll use it to reword our statements about SuperNET in comparison to the Blocknet. Also, my apologies for how things were worded in the Blocknet OP. It was my writing and I see that I glossed over some details worth bringing out. Finally, I have a lot of respect for the SuperNET. It's a fascinating idea, and although we're taking a different route (telehash v.3; mesh rather than DHT, etc.), that doesn't mean the SuperNET is a cheap trick. Personally I'd love it if Supernet wallets contain the XBridge someday... Good night Synechist How about giving James some credit rather than playing it off like it's all a brand new idea by XC devs |

I don't mean to fud, but whoever this jl777 person is, I don't trust anymore anonymous or semi-anon devs and the people working with them after what happened with Mintpal. I hope he comes out of his/her darkness and show who or she really is. People say NHZ is just a clone, but there is development going on by completely reachable REAL people. I think I'm not the only one concerned about this. Plus, there is the suspicion about the economic model, nxt distribution....I'm sorry, but after the massive price drop of both nxt and supernet I'm out.
And even worse, I've just read the issue with bluemeanie. Some things just don't pan out easily.
I'm sorry for the fanboys/girls invplved here. May the cryptoforce be with you.
Haha, so I'm assuming you know the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto? If you don't, then you should just get out of crypto entirely, including bitcoin. Why limit it to just SuperNET and NXT? |

Found it:
"The Blocknet Foundation will pool the formidable abilities of developers and will function
as an incubator, funding the creation of a development platform and multiple Blockchain
2.0 services. The Foundation will be responsible for allocating funding for this."
So their fund raising is going to pay for development of their SuperNET clone and not be backing the asset at all. I wonder if the trolls will be making any issues about buywalls?
So they're basically saying: "Pay us to copy SuperNET". Sure sounds legit. I'll be watching this closely. Very curious how their ICO will turn out. |

Teleport is referring specifically to funds: anon transfer. Telepathy is the whole system of anon communication.
I suppose it's a bit like the difference between 'give' and 'talk' (caveat simplification).
Okay that makes more sense. Thanks for the explanation. People need to stop calling every criticism an attempt at FUD. Sorry to say it, but there are a lot of ass kissers around here. It's good to have some people take a step back and question things every now and then. |

I would encourage that we not start with new words (telepathy, and please please please not "magic send"). Is not teleporting still the main concept? It is an established term now, one that btcd is known for and alot of people are waiting on. Does this not suffice for the name?
Teleporting is for sending of funds Teleporting uses the privacyNetwork other things can use the privacyNetwork whatever it is called, the sending of data from one person to another without anybody knowing the IP address is quite a fundamental thing. So what's with "Telepathy" and "magic send" then? I also agree with the comment about not throwing out new names for the same thing. Like already said, Teleport is already an established name for the anon tech of btcd and it sounds better imo. I guess you can call it whatever you please since you are the creator. We're just providing some constructive criticism here. |

Has SuperNET actually produced anything yet or still vapor? I'm not reading through 200 pages and the OP really needs some work...makes SuperNET look scammy...
The tech is still being worked on diligently. SuperNET asset holders have gotten a couple of nice dividends so far (NeoDICE and NXTinspect). For a good summary of what's been going on, you can read through the SuperNET newsletters: https://forum.thesupernet.org/index.php?board=37.0Also, all important updates and happenings seem to have been moved over to the official superNET forum. So it would be inaccurate to judge superNET based on things posted here. The newsletters are probably the best source of information as of now. |

Well, still not fair for those who bought it with btc. 0.01 btc is still 0.01btc, no matter what the usd chart says.
But then again, i bought them also with NXT...but i understand the ones who paid with btc.
I thought this issue has already been settled. I personally bought all of my SuperNET with BTC only and I feel fine with the buy wall. I don't think it's all that important to be honest. But maybe I'm just more patient than others. I'm also willing to buy up more at 0.01 if you're willing to sell at that price. |

Ignore this until there is official confirmation. ANNs not made this way. Do not buy.
Eek. I thought this was specifically not meant to happen. Perhaps you should delete dNote. I think only coins that are announced in the SuperNET newsletter are official. Is that correct? That announcement was very unprofessional. Kind of appears like a sad attempt to produce hype. |
|
|
|
In case anyone is confused or didn't read the most recent SuperNET newsletter, coins that are confirmed to be in SuperNET are: NXT, BTCD, BBRAs far as I know, no one is going anywhere |
|
|
|
Anyone think BTCD will surpass BTC in value?? I'm a proud supporter of BTCD so I'd love to see this happen.
Short term, absolutely not. In 5-10 years, maybe. That's assuming BTC doesn't also significantly go up. It's rather hard to say though, I don't think there are too many people these days who are willing to hold on to a single coin (other than bitcoin) for that long. So in other words, I think the chances are slim. |

To withdraw UNITY from Bter, do I have to enter my NXT address (the one starting with NXT-....) where it says UNITY address? Does the same apply to NEODice, NXTINSPCT or any other NXT asset? Thanks in advance for your help.
That's right. All go to your NXT wallet. Nice to see some new NXTers around Hey I keep getting this message "Recipient account does not have a public key, must attach a public key announcement" when trying to withdraw UNITY. I've also tried straight up buying NXT and withdrawing from an exchange and I still get cancelled transactions. Just to clarify, when withdrawing from an exchange I use the account ID AND public key created for my NXT wallet? There are probably better ways to this (I'm also a newb to NXT), but this is how I did it: Visit this website to get some free nxt: http://nxtra.org/faucet/You can enter both your account ID and your public key. After receiving the free nxt, it should "activate" your account. Seems like it's just something that is required for your very first transaction. Then after that you should only need your account ID to withdraw. |

I've never used NXT before this whole SuperNET thing and I must admit, I'm very impressed with both the tech and the community. I was surprised to find out that NXT is relatively new too (came out last November, I think?). It's definitely something special.

Yeah I bet it's frustrating. You would think at this point, everyone who bought TOKEN at least understands the conversion process. Makes me wonder how many people who bought actually understands what SuperNET even is.
Crypto's a new frontier...and so many of us come in habituated to the conveniences as well as to the restrictions of Fiat Land. That's why so many of us (including me) find out that we have a lot to learn... True. But I'm not talking about the crypto community or even the general public. I'm specifically talking about people who actually bought TOKEN during the ICO and do not seem to understand something as basic as the conversion to SuperNET/UNITY in order to receive dividends. That part is what surprises me. To this day, there are still a bunch of TOKEN floating around that have not yet been converted to SuperNET/UNITY. And then we get people who complain that they didn't receive any dividends. |

I'm confused with unity/btc and token/btc at bter. I bought token because i really want to have shares from supernet. Did i do what i have to do?
I'm constantly amazed by people that throw money at things they don't understand and then don't read anything more about them. Answers to your questions are probably here https://forum.thesupernet.org/index.php?topic=106.msg512#msg512And instructions on how to convert TOKEN to UNITY are on the first post in this thread, but if you left your TOKEN on BTER this should have happened already. Yeah I bet it's frustrating. You would think at this point, everyone who bought TOKEN at least understands the conversion process. Makes me wonder how many people who bought actually understands what SuperNET even is. |
