Currently discussing with the lead developer about a potential launch over the next week or so, don't worry I will keep everyone up to date, I just need to make some additional enquiries.

It will happen shortly, nothing has changed, I just dont want to give another fixed date until I am 100% sure.

Coins Still Awaiting Exchange To BDSM-Fetish......

I have some BDSM coins and some Fetish coins in my wallets (screenshots and addresses can be provided).

Can someone tell me how many bdsm-fetish whipped coins I am entitled to per BDSM or Fetishcoin and who is distributing these please.

I look forward to some response - there are no contact details on the website bdsm-fetish.net.

Thanks. Currently watching what happens with Cryptsy and other world affairs.

Launching a digital currency as a business involves alot more potential operating fees and regulation than digital currencies that are anonymous or pre 2016. Once something is "in the wild" it is essential to consider current and future implications. Regardless of personal opinion, governments despite their shortcomings must be considered because;

1 - they set the laws of a sovereign nation (which are often objected to or repealed) for economic and other purposes
2 - they budget money to ensure a nation remains competitive against other nations (granted, this can often go too far into poverty)
3 - they can implement laws and legislation that may allow the following;

-- fines, legal action or sentencing in retrospect e.g. after an offence which has not been legislated at that time (this is becoming far more common across a broad range of investigations)
-- additional running costs including licensing (whereby a financial or monetary system is centralised, e.g. finTech business or bank)

During the next month or so a number of enquiries will be made to ensure that Bitcoin21 can operate in a unique space both endorsed by cryptocurrency communities, the public, governments and current financial institutions. Bitcoin21 presents a great opportunity to engage both young people and the finTech industry into investing and using digital currency.

Bitcoin21 remains unique in its application, and will be launched at a later date once everything is ready.

A further update will be posted in February.

BITCOIN 21 official launch is currently postponed until further notice.

Until digital currency exchanges are regulated and protected by the financial services authorities, and peoples investments are guaranteed it would be a bad decision to continue with the launch.

Development will continue offline and any updates will be posted here in due course.

As no IPO/ICO funds were raised this does not affect anyones investment.

What is the procedure for claiming back our digital currencies, do we notify the company dealing with the lawsuit, if anyone is in the UK how does that affect us and what can we do?

More info please, I only have a few BTC with Cryptsy but they are altcoins and I am keen to keep hold of the altcoins I "own" because I purchased them on Cryptsy.

Shame it got greedy adding loads of scamcoins (which I believe were developed by the same few people) but well we live and learn again! Mt Gox, Coinex, Cryptsy, what next.......

Hi all, apologies for the quiet period, been away for a while.

Premine

Yes 1 million coins, these are guaranteed to be held as capital (think its for 10 years) in secure cold storage like the original Bitcoin.
A further 1.1 million coins are premined for IPO/ICO, giveaway, faucet and for commercial/business investment.

A current consideration is also being given to a further premine for global airdrop - more details on that will be provided as and when confirmed including full details of destinations.

Exchanges

To ensure that all anti-fraud and anti-terrorism legislation is adhered to, it will be the responsibility of all exchanges listing XBTC21 to verify users before allowing people to buy and sell. I accept no responsibility for any exchange that does not comply or self-regulate for the purposes of national or international public protection.

Consideration is also possible to open an exchange, or if enough IPO/ICO is raised to perhaps get Cryptsy back on its feet if they persist to have problems. The original Bitcoin and Litecoin which have been much the problem of theft means their future as investment vehicles is somewhat tainted, so this is an ideal time to look for a POW/POS replacement of the same original specifications.

Mining & Use

By mining XBTC21 you understand that the coins are to be used for positive human endeavour, to help others, and at no time to be used as a weapon or used to cause physical, financial or other damage to persons or property nationally or internationally.

Future Regulation

It is likely that governments in the future will introduce legislation to allow police to do stop and searches, or indeed home searches to establish the quantities of digital currencies that people own. Centralised finance allows the tracking of money so that for example companies cannot avoid laundering money or not paying taxes, if decentralised finance is to work there still needs to be a level of centralisation and accountability which is why ultimately having a high street featuring crypto banks for example is an exciting prospect.

Whilst there is a battle between extreme dangers at one end of the human spectrum and extreme control (and war) by the other end of the spectrum, there are 6.9 billion people around the world caught up in conflict against their will, somehow there needs to be a way in which people can go about their lives free from being exposed to conflict, less than 1% of the world is military, the remaining 99% are civilians (at a guess). If this means centralised registration and transaction monitoring at some level independent of the current banking regime and government then that may be a good thing.

Information & Ideas

Please present any information and ideas you have. There are no guarantees that this coin will be of future value, it is experimental, and it will be both self regulated, regulated by exchanges (for their own safety should they list it) and also regulated by any government or international future regulations.

Any questions please ask, I will update again soon.

Thanks for reading.

Hi all, quick rebief and question.

Analcoin History

As we all know Analcoin was created by an anon developer who no longer maintained the coin after the pos failed, and a few of us paid for this to be fixed to serve its userbase and rebranded to a more commercially aware brand. Interest in the coin seemed to peak when twitter followers hit 900.

Rename & Rebrand To Aprilcoin

With a distinct lack of room in the adult crypto scene I proposed to rename and rebrand to Aprilcoin XAP, which would make the coin much more commercially friendly, this has been accepted as a good idea.

Confirmation

Please can everybody let me know if this is something everyone is happy with, I have updated the core code with aprilcoin XAP information, all the other specifics are the same, so no fork should be required.

Compile

The new source is name and image ready, can anyone compile and test the wallets using the updated core source please. Once tested it can be rolled out to exchanges.

Any advice would be great - if anyone has prebuilt dependencies they can zip up and the code to compile for windows I am happy to download and compile myself.

Any other advice or help would be appreciated - for example should we form a distributed foundation responsible for the coin, or just leave as an open chain?

OMG! Sorry! I swear my brain has gone on holiday, what am I doing! Of course its FTP!

No Comment Removed swiftly to avoid further embarrassment, one of those days

I'm having to sell my Skyline to fund my projects, a beautiful R33 GTR in midnight purple, heartbroken a bit

I'm going to be sending out some proposals to potential international stakeholders at the turn of the new year, responses will largely dictate the route to delivery. Again, I am not making any promises regarding the future value, whether or not the currency will make exchanges or fulfil the road map because at this time all investment is personal, and any future will largely be dictated by investor/stakeholder responses and investment.

I have limited blockchain experience in terms of development, however rest assured in the event of popularity, a team will be established to deliver a completely financially and politically independent digital currency platform to meet the demands of its users.

Before it does go live though, I am taking the steps of establishing some self-regulated rules of delivery so that there are plans in place for the provision of transaction taxes or other fees when digital currencies become regulated.

I think the next stage of implementation is innovative and will gain significant traction and awareness on an international basis, more news about that after Christmas, perhaps it would be best to reconsider any investment in the new year - if my strategy works it may mean a requirement to increase the IPO premine.

Any details of investors, airdrops, etc will be added to the OP in January. Thanks for support, will keep everybody up to speed.

Great thanks. I'm not saying it will achieve anything but...



Has potential

glad to hear it, thanks



While I continue working on CURA Currency Of Light, a permission based blockchain solution for creating a sustainable stream of new wealth, I would like to confirm that;

- 21 million units of Bitcoin21 will be created on the public blockchain on launch 21st January 2016
- a further 21 million units will be created on the CURA permission based private blockchain and issued to 21Bitcoin holders

Those that own any of the units on the public Bitcoin21 blockchain will also have the same number of coins reserved on the private blockchain (these will, subject to approval, be issued at the same market value as Bitcoin21 and can be exchanged for CURA for the same market value) - subject to permissions this would double the value of coins held through a second private blockchain - more information to be available in the future.

In order to claim units from the CURA blockchain you will need;

- to register in full with verified ID on the CURA blockchain/network (instructions in future)
- provide evidence of ownership of your public blockchain Bitcoin21 (probably through a national high street drop in centre / bank and through centralised storage/audit)

Notes:

The value doubling is unique to Bitcoin21 and subject to the approval of CURA as the source of new wealth generation beyond the oil based economy (fairly confident, however currently unsure of the legislative position in regard to creating new wealth) and will require further investigation.

A proportion of the IPO may be withheld for the purpose of facilitating relationships with existing high street banks which may enable Bitcoin21 to have high street support. Banks have not been approached as yet however may be something that would afford, alternatively establishing CURA banking in the high street would be sustainable, not for profit, interest free and provide the same potential facilities.

Platform Update

I just wanted to give you some more information about the projects I am work on that together provide a future powerful platform for creating new wealth, this is critically important as we move away from an oil based economy (which will lose 40% of its value in the next 5 years) and move towards a stable sustainable economy featuring blockchain assets and blockchain currencies.

Bitcoin21 is the latest addition to the portfolio, but it also stands as a possible mechanism to crowdfund and support various other items which aim to;

- reduce or cure global poverty
- establish a new source of wealth outwith centralised governments
- encourage people to contribute positively to society
- reduce the need for conflict, job displacement or anti-competitive practises

Whilst we are progressively displacing the banking and finance industry, at the moment no one has provided an answer to;

- replacing high street banking to enable the economy to continue
- replacing the hundreds of thousands of jobs that will be displaced by personal sovereignty

These are our responsibilities by advocating new innovative technologies, and being unselfish in looking to ensure the continuation of employment and staff with the blockchain in place.

You can find out more at each of the websites.



The Blockchain Party is a startup from 2015, currently by myself, to advocate a not for profit economy funded by two things;



Virtual Gold - www.twitter.com/virtual_gold / www.virtualgold.org - established on the blockchain in March 2014.



Currency of Light - www.twitter.com/currencyoflight / www.currencyoflight.com - established in 2015 as a new source of abundant wealth and energy.

I have also established;

Aerarium Universitas as an independent universal treasury to distribute and ledger value against commodities locked in planets and stars.

www.twitter.com/cryptotreasury / www.treasuryoftheuniverse.com

Digital Currency World as a platform for bringing all these innovations together and generally promoting long term crypto projects that benefit everyone.



www.twitter.com/dicurrencyworld / www.digital-currency-world.com

Finally to celebrate 7 years of the blockchain which will revolutionise global finance and public ledgering, I will be launching Bitcoin21 next month to usher in an era of new long term coins with a stable long term value. It is worth remembering that the first search engine on the internet was in 1992 6 years before Google was launched and became the number one search engine in the world. As yet Bitcoin has not had a coin which has surpassed its potential however Bitcoin21 is the same as Bitcoin with shorter block time, and a small proof of stake which will prevent quick profits, pump and dumps, and enable much more development.



I would appreciate further support, any donations are welcome, remember this is a completely Not For Profit endeavour as part of a greater innovation to decentralise government in favour of people consensus all over the world, these are very important steps and innovations in a completely different new wealth sector.

Thanks again for your time and support.

I would suggest a few people throw a few BTC at this...



I expect interest to increase dramatically at the turn of the new year....

Bitcoin21 Roadmap - 5 Year Timeline



Large Image Version: www.bitcoin-21.com/resources/bitcoin21-timeline.jpg

0.0021% generating 2.1 coins per 1,000 staking up to 21 days depending on final selected options.
Still low pos though to drive long term adoption and stability.
If each coin were to be valued at $100 each long term, foreach 1,000 held that would still be an at value increase of $210 per month, which is a good return.

To even make mining cost effective Bitcoin's price will have to continually increase and at which point the difficulty will get so high blocks will become so slow, for the numbers of transactions that Bitcoin wants to cope with mining power will have to increase by 10 times just to satisfy the UK daily transaction requirements I think.

At one point in the future it will be amost guaranteed that a proportion of mining support will depart from Bitcoin (along with its value) to other similar coins, for that reason SHA256 is the only way to go for a valuable future compatible digital currency, in fact this may happen several times from coin to coin until everything settles with 3 or 4 coins sharing and cross referencing mining power to secure networks.

Proof of stake is exactly the same as quantitative easing, that is devaluing the overall capital per coin, ultimately economically this serves no function or benefit for people with a low coin count, and in this instance coins will retain much of the capital value because the numbers of units distributed will not increase dramatically because the POS amount is sufficiently low.

Cryptsy and the digital currency exchanges have been flooded with POS coins for around 6 months, some with stealth launches, but look at how the value of those coins has decreased, it's like 200 years of the US Dollar in 6 months! TEK, Hyper, Sprouts, Caps these are all coins which ultimately will go the way of the high POW coins like Mooncoin, Zeitcoin unless there is some significant adoption by mainstream to invest in Altcoins, because without Altcoins Bitcoin has no exchanges and therefore no future - i will not use the original Bitcoin if altcoins are not equally supported, and I also think that there should be two or even three identical fully fledged Bitcoin alternatives - BTC, XBTC21, XBTC42 (42 million coins) for example - because just one BTC Bitcoin is  recipe for disaster.

So yes, low POS because it's not designed to make people rich, it's designed to retain higher value for longer and keep demand higher than supply!!

P.S. yes I had accidentally put .00021 instead of .0021 :S

Hurrumph! I'm sure I put 21/01/2016, never mind, thank you for pointing that out! Now changed, the unveiled bit also said 12/21/2015 (again I am sure I had put 12/12/2015) how embarrassing I am sure someone is playing mind games and changing the thread grrrrrr.

Provisional Specifications

POW Coins: 21 Million Coins POW
Algorithm: SHA256 / Bitcoin
Block Time: OPTION 1 - 2.1 minutes (126 seconds), OPTION 2 - 3.5 minutes (210 seconds), OPTION 3 - 10 Minute Block Time (feedback welcome)
Block Size: 2MB block size (may consider increased block size - feedback welcome)
POS Percentage: 0.0021% POS
Min POS Stake Age: OPTION 1 - 2.1 days to stake, OPTION 2 - 21 days to stake (feedback welcome)
Max POS Stake Age: OPTION 1 - 21 day coin maturity to stake reward (paired with 2.1 days min), OPTION 2 - 42 day coin maturity to stake (paired with 21 min stake age)
Block Halving: 450,000 blocks (to accrue 21 million POW)
Block Reward: 21 coins per block

Note: My preference would be a 2.1 minute block time, 2MB block size, 2.1 day min stake age, 21 day max stake age.

Feedback is welcome for the following;

Block Time
Block Size
Min Stake Age
Max Stake Age

These are preliminary specs and not hard coded as yet, important to provide scalability (so upwards of 2MB block size is important) although with sidechains implementations this doesnt really matter so much. Ultimately I want to keep the reward on a balance with mining cost and power, and at the same time give as many people, including newcomers the opportunity to dive in at ground zero and bring in more interest.

Thanks in advance for the feedback, looking forward to hearing your comments.

Another mining pool confirmed, thanks! Added to the OP / Website.

Provisional coin specs to be added for discussion shortly, feedback would be appreciated re: block time and block size.

Huh!??? The last time I looked January was the first month in the calendar year 21/01/2016? Never mind, I will write it again for the extremely hard of seeing, may I recommend specsavers sir?

21st JAN-U-ARY 2016, JANUARY, 1st Month In The Calendar Year, 01, 01/2016, January 2016, Jan 2016 or incase you are in America 01/21/2016, think that should cover it.....
