I missed BCT so much i want to give out BTI for no reason lol Post addy's and ill send you some BTI  You mean PM addys, else you'll get banned: “Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.” Cheers Graham |

Dev my wallet has stopped syncing?
That's what it's reporting but all it means is that it hasn't seen a new block in a while. Which it hasn't. The codebase is Bitcoin 0.8.2 which is a little elderly and I suspect the diff retargeting is struggling a bit with so few nodes and so much hashpersec:  Cheers Graham |

There are at least 614 known altcoins. To keep an altcoin alive and tradeable, there must be a few miners and a blockchain. For how many of those altcoins has the infrastructure died? There have been at least 2250 known altcoins (a handful unlaunched). There's an overdue update of details of ~100 recently-launched alts but you can get an idea of the range from a text-only list of names/symbols: https://minkiz.co/coin/name/ or you can thrash your browser with the full display which includes a best guess at status of listed, defunct or extant (neither of the foregoing). Some of the listed coins have been subsequently delisted: https://minkiz.co/coin/The raw data (in the form of an RDF graph) is available on https://github.com/DOACC/individuals, apologies in advance for the lack of documentation which is complete but needs updating with the latest data. As long as one single miner is still mining the coin, there is a blockchain, but there might not be a blockchain reader around anymore.
As an idle experiment, I'm keeping a few (those with <5 nodes) blockchains on life support: https://minkiz.co/acme, exactly as you describe. Cheers Graham |

I'm very disappointed to discover that the level of support that this coin is receiving from the devs is now zero. The coin logistics have deteriorated to the extent that the community's collective ownership of the coin and the functioning of the blockchain is now actively hindered.

A new #Cystum is coming.....
SterlingCoin is also languishing somewhat, so it's difficult to come to any conclusion other than the devs have effectively abandoned DonationCoin, pretty much exactly as I expected. Is there anyone subscribed to this thread and connected to the original launch or devs who would care to comment on the future of the 25% premine? I note several commentators have criticized the amount of the premine, it's been a millstone around the coin's neck for some time. To continue to simply sit on the premine and allow the coin to languish seems rather truculently counterproductive. In consequence, it's also difficult to find a rationale for continuing to devote resources to a coin where the devs maintain a dog-in-the-manger deathgrip on the resources, effectively undermining any community-based development of the coin. All three devs clearly had the best of intentions, PoD, doxed, etc. and I fully sympathise with the stresses caused by other demands but it is long past time to grasp the nettle and for the community to be allowed to take over the coin in its entirety, including the premine. In the absence of a (reasonable) resolution, I shall probably shut down our node and remove DON from Minkiz block explorer https://minkiz.co/abe/address/LcG9Vr4WyeyfQVEq8zPLQBDxW1kWvVU6mF. (I dunno why exchanges insist on a block explorer, the information can be obtained from RPC.) Cheers Graham |

the functionality cannot be experienced without encountering a demand to drop 1NXT in the slot
Hah, now that I can drop 1WCC in the slot, I'm beginning to get hard evidence of the degree to which the interface is a UI disaster area. Example: Create Alias: no definition available locally, no explanation of purpose. Still, now I have coins to play with, I'll give it a go. Creates an alias to Minkiz, 1WCC. Cool. Tab updates to show alias. Oh, it showed briefly and then disappeared, the tab now shows 0 aliases and offers “create an alias”. Did it not work then? Consumed with suspicion, I checked the transaction log and sure enough, it's pending. So, now that I've been though once, let's have another go. Still consumed with suspicion, I repeat the alias creation, same alias label, same URL - this time taking careful note of the app's response. Yes, my attention is captured by the line that appears and then after a couple of seconds, disappears. Which is why I missed the pale green confirmation dialog that appears briefly up in the top right, confirming the registration --- exactly where I'm not looking. Now I'm beginning to understand the adoption barrier that gen2 alts present. Cheers Graham |

For disclosure: wary of the proscription on address posting, I PM'd the dev: Nice job. Runs okay here, entry-level Acer i3 4-core laptop 8Gb RAM Ubuntu 14.04 (even with 3 effing cores currently occupied by bitcoin doing nothing other than syncing up, spit). I used synaptic's one-click install of oracle java-8. Ya might need to specify “and point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:27876/” for those who are unfamiliar with a NXT-style architecture. Who responded: can you please post your address in the thread for everyone to see. i want everything done publicly. i sent you 500k already.
I demurred about posting my address (if anyone wants it, to check the distribution, just PM me) I think posting addresses might well get you banned. I'll confirm the d/l, successful run and receipt of coin, if that's okay.
fwiw, my primary interest is in re-documenting the NXT architecture for people more familiar with the [Bit|alt]coin reference client. I had a go with NXT but the faucet was dry and the functionality cannot be experienced without encountering a demand to drop 1NXT in the slot, penury by 1000 tolls.
F'rinstance, as yet I haven't been able to work out whether the display gets refreshed in real time or whether I have to navigate to another tab and then back again to see any changes, just real basic kind of stuff that devs are typically insensible to.
500,000 coins have been received, forging has started. I'm currently using meld to idly browse the refactoring. Dev, if you augmented the distro with the build scripts, people could more easily build for themselves. Cheers Graham |

With PoW there's a cost associated with producing a coin with mining equipment and electricity so miners won't sell their coins any cheaper than that which creates a floor price. With PoS there is no cost of production, you just have to own and hold coins which also means that everybody can stake their coins.
Another significant difference is that newly generated PoS coins are going to people who are already holding the coins as a reward. That is generally not true for PoW. And more coins mean inflation so in essence PoS coins are rewarding stakers with free coins at the cost of inflation. Personally it doesn't make sense to me why anyone would invest into PoS coins especially considering the average lifespan of coins and how rapidly things change in crypto - but that's jut me.
Damn, why isn't there a “follow” button on this BBS? That's three people I've encountered now who are also from planet Earth, I was beginning to think I was the only one. Cheers Graham |

Does the amount of ticket entries get auto-updated?? (and if so, how often?) Just asking because I made a couple  entries and it did not update. I have a sneaking suspicion that the total reflects #formsubmissions not #tickets. Cheers Graham |

Not much new going on with Simple Inflation Coin, the node I am running still has quite a few connections, dificulty seems cooled off a bit.
Also see the ACME (RPC-based) summary stats on https://minkiz.co/acme --- | coin & symbol | home base | blockheight | nodes | difficulty | last (UTC) | networkmhashps | | SiFcoin (SIC) | http://sifcoin.ru | 199823 | 11 | 227.623092 | 2 Hours | 15.9255 |

in 2015 we prefer to use Phillips screw to built the Turing Machine
Hmm. If you're going to try and profit by trading off've the name and reputation of one of the most respected figures in recent history, you could at least make an effort to step up to the mark and get the name right. It's a “Bombe”. And any fule no that nuts and bolts do not a Turing machine make. tbh, if you inspect the full-size image, it gives an excellent view of the detail --- the functioning of the “rabbit ears” as a retaining spring clip is quite clear. By contrast, the dial in the logo it looks more like it was adapted from a visual mashup of Myst and the Antikythera mechanism. That's a shame when there is such a clear image of the original object.

It seems like there are fewer and fewer alt coins coming out these days. Is the rate slowing down, or is it just me?
Fewer, yes. The huge slowdown from the 2014 peak remains and hasn't really recovered. There's a chart on Minki's landing page: https://minkiz.co (reproduced below for convenience):  I've fallen behind a bit on the updates because I've been focused on generating documentation and examples for DOACC. I'll be updating the chart shortly (in the midst of reconciliation, atm) with the 90-odd coins launched since mid-Apr. Cheers Graham |

But in general, our mining situation is pretty nascent; it essentially forces everyone to do CPU mining.
Sure, np, I'm comfortable mining from the CPU, I do it all the time. So, out of curiosity ... as new adopter, how long does it typically take to mine a block and gain some coins in order to pay the tolls that otherwise bar the way to experiencing/exploring the functionality? Cheers Graham |

Just to let everyone know swap will be completed today
Thank you for a pleasant flight Cheers Graham |

Do you have more specific criticisms?
The mining section provides the user with no information whatsoever about progress. So the user is mining, but what's their relative power? Do they need to devote more cores? Threads? How long should they expect to wait before gaining coins? I waited a while and then realised I could be waiting forever, so I closed the wallet. Spreadcoin's mining tab addresses these issues. I found the app a little too laconic and uncommunicative generally but you're looking for specialist help, so I thought there's little point alerting you to issues that you're almost certainly already aware of. Hence my confirming the severity from the user's perspective. Cheers Graham |

Again! A coin without a reason/purpose/description. Devs aren't even trying anymore! Next!
Or ... devs have learned that providing genuine reason and purpose is a pointless exercise as both are invariably hostage to the community's deathgripped irrational self-serving prejudices. Doesn't matter what the rationale, there's always a population of self-appointed assessors loudly claiming the converse whilst at the same time exploiting every possible opportunity to extract a few more satoshi for their own personal profit. For me, it's an approach that is at least honest about the reality of altcoin devops and it's immensely preferable to the puffed-up little fiefdoms that some attempt to create (c.f. the new “owners” of Britcoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1061026.0). It's your personal opinion that altcoins bear more than just a metaphoric relationship to stock trading. It's not shared by everyone and you might want to check just how deep the differences actually run. A better metaphor is a race card for an unofficial meet. Are you running a similar moral crusade against other forms of online gambling? Just off've the top of my head, vcoin is uniquely (and serendipitously, let's not overdo it) pushing the altcoin devops envelope in an attempt to raise the standard of decentralisation to meet the criteria recently asserted by FinCEN; in this instance, starting with “no central repository” and (reading between FinCEN lines) “no single developer”.

Bumped that for you ... the wallet UI is so impoverished that it will significantly hinder the launch. Cheers Graham |

Have anyone mine this ??
Uh-huh, I was solo-mining while the diff was < 0.00x. Hard to say whether that was successful, found a few blocks, the early ones have matured, the rest remain immature as it appears mining has stopped (I'm no longer finding blocks, the diff is now >0.009, out of my laptop's reach). getinfo: 10:40:29

The core code of SAK is to apply the core code of Bitcoin, and only the encryption algorithm adopts encryption algorithm, so all the applications of Bitcoin now can be removed to SAK at any time.
