I'd have no problem in attesting my wallet, and was even planning to do it, but not exactly using the address where I'm keeping all my funds. So I guess this lottery makes little sense for me. I'm allergic to lotteries anyway - it's dangerous to hope to win a lottery because you never know WHICH lottery you will end up winning - and most of the lotteries out there are just waiting to get someone killed.
Yes and the wales skip that lottery. Nobody link >945 GB with attestation like here http://draw.byteball.org/

How do we enter the lottery?

What tokens is Sasha talking about here? Any official details?

We are talking about the NXT project https://nxtplatform.org/what-is-nxt/ to which Alexander Ivanov (Waves) and Sergei Ivancheglo (IOTA) had previously had relations.
Can be on our forum find information https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1530886.0

Thanks for answering but I worded my question incorrectly, my bad.

I know NXT for a long time now : my question was about what NXT assets was Sasha talking about in their tweet?

These assets,

... but we need more details ... how do we prove we control the NXT account with the coinomat assets?

CSW is like a medical doctor with catastrophically awful bedside manner giving brutally honest, but truthful,  bad news,

He's more like a shitty doctor who botches an unnecessary surgery and then is overly brutally honest about the bad news. He could have just not said peep, slunk back into obscurity after being famously outed as Not Satoshi. But no. He had to press his ego on the crypto world and now his #1 pet project is down over 50% in 7 days because of it.

If miners process transactions on the blockchain that are involved in illegal activities, and this is clearly visible, then they are at risk

It is far better if miners never know what any particular tx is for, otherwise, CSW's warning is valid, miners could be legally liable for KNOWINGLY facilitating illegal activities by processing tx into a block where the purpose is illegal, and this can be seen in the op code. Nothing really to do with CSW personally, or ethics, just legal realities of the world we live in today.

disclaimer: CSW is a dick, I agree!

Can someone explain reasoning behind why CSW believes ABC changes would make BCH illegal, has he spelled out in detail what the problem is?

You can read his own words in all their idiotic glory here:

https://medium.com/@craig_10243/drugs-fraud-and-murder-ddf12208ae8b

Basically he claims that by introducing an oracle-capable OP code Bitcoin Cash can be used for gambling, the Silk Road 2.0 and even murder-for-hire services. It's all bullshit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/9vxc7w/illegal_gambling_futures_markets_on_murder_and/

Perhaps most ironically he doesn't mind that his #1 partner Calvin Ayre made his fortune from running a gambling site, Bodog.

DSV is what makes bitcoin (BCH) illegal.

https://bitcoinprice.media/how-dsv-seeks-to-criminalize-the-bitcoin-bch-blockchain.html


Thanks for the links, CSW is like a medical doctor with catastrophically awful bedside manner giving brutally honest, but truthful,  bad news, I think he's correct. If miners process transactions that can be demonstrated to be involved in illegal activities,  and these tx are not encrypted and can be viewed in plain text on the blockchain, then the miners are vulnerable to legal action. This seems pretty clear cut to me now, just a shame CSW's personality obscures his message.

Edit, I remember hearing about a case where a guy went to jail for lending his brother a car, just because his brother asked "I need to use your car to do X', and X was obviously illegal. If he just asked 'I need to use your car' , then the brother would not have known of any illegal activity involving his car, so he would not have committed any crime.

187  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage on: November 18, 2018, 09:17:51 PM
Basically this fork caused sia to become centralized you cant buy a miner and the people who are selling them on Ebay want 4000 I dont see how this fork benefited anyone but the sia team, obelisk and the few batches of miner they sold

From the POV of users of the P2P storage product the situation has improved considerably if nebulous is in better shape, long term dev support of the sia network is much more important than mining centralisation.

You could give BSH Bitcoin level security using Komodo's delayed proof of work consensus mechanism, it would only cost a few hundred $$ per year, and it would literally make BSH as secure as Bitcoin, so no re-org attacks or 51% attacks, BUT, without needing any centralised checkpoints, and without needing to brown nose ecosystem players like exchanges, or bother with proof of social media.

Raad the dPoW whitepaper, I think dPoW would make BSH a real contender!

Is any exchange trading Bstash yet?

https://bstash.org/


wtf, bstash is a BCH fork with replay protection & merged mining .... why aren't the masses of undecided jumping on bstash ?

Looks like Bstash is the best of ABC & SV, back to the Bitcoin whitepaper but without wormhole tokens, and community based without billionaires (on both sides) telling everyone what to do.

I would prefer using komodo delayed proof of work, dPoW , over merged mining though, dPoW periodically notarizes to bitcoin, so after about 20 blocks the notarized blockchain ends up effectively having bitcoin level PoW securing it. If only ABC devs read more widely they could have added dPoW to their chain for about 500 USD per year, and avoided 'checkpoints'

Bstash could do ok, need to know more about the devs, what skill level, and how committed.

It's a little involved to get a live number of the amount the network believes to be staking. Basically, it would be derived from the staking difficulty target, similar to Chain Power, described in the proof of power document a few messages above, over the last 10 or so staking blocks. It can be derived, and if you want to write a python script or something, we could help you. Otherwise, the proof of power doc is something that could give you a starting point. We will calculate and expose that number in an upcoming release, as a lot of people would like to have it easily available.

Thanks, that makes sense!

Hey. I wanted to try Staking. I uploaded Agama Wallet from site veruscoin.io

I chose Native Mode. I synchronized the blockchain.
100% | 247711 / 247711 | Connections: 4

I put about 1100 VRSC on my wallet.

It all works on Amazon VPS.

Mining Status:   False
Staking Status:  True

After 24 hours of operation, the balance of the wallet has not changed.

What am I doing wrong???

You probably just have to wait. The average return right now in staking is about 57+% annually, but it is statistical, like mining, and comes in 24 coin block rewards. That means 1100 coins should earn maybe 500-600 coins or so over the year, but it will be in 24 coin chunks.

You can calculate your expected luck (waiting time in days on average) and return with this spreadsheet, by downloading it and entering both the current block from the explorer and the amount you are staking with:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yvclqq98j8nxdmg/Verus_POS.xlsx?dl=0

Explorer is https://explorer.veruscoin.io

What proportion of vrsc are staking at any time,  how can we check that?

Let the hashwar begin only 12 hours remaining ...


I predict the hash war will ultimately be seen as a triumph for Bitcoin and nakamoto consensus, unlike conventional wars where the generals and commanders in chief send OTHER people into battle from the comfort of their bunkers, in a hash war the combatants deploy their OWN resources, and the winner will be the side that commits the most of their OWN resources over time, not other people forced into battle against their will, and the loser in this hash war WILL lose billions of their own money.

This is how the system works, and it's beautiful to watch!!

The temporary market dump is worth recalibrating everyone's attention back to how Bitcoin actually works.

After this expectations will be reset, everyone will know hash decides everything, and combatants in the next hash war know they need to risk their OWN resources to win. This is a historic reawakening of Bitcoin!
194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [dPoW] [ZEX] ZADDEX - Peer to Peer Hybrid Exchange on: November 14, 2018, 08:31:07 AM
Quote from: ZADDEX
Coin Emission Rate
Block reward: Max. 200 ZEX per block (split between Miners 130 and Treasury 70)

Coin Supply Control
200 per 60 second block.
Pre-Mine – None.

Maximum Coin Supply
210M ZEX

The founders reward will be used as follows

- 30% Development
- 25% Marketing
- 20% Staff costs/recruitment
- 15% Team
- 10% Legal/Security

This level of founders reward looks greedy, obviously founders were ready to mine the second this launched, founders should end up with a good stack anyway, you guys could have done what Verus foundation did and not have a premine or founders reward, the long term respect generated from a fair launch with no block reward tax would outweigh the short term benefit of tax imo.

If you guys are here for the long term you don't need 35% tax

I can't remember any coin That has been able to recover 99% loss


The fundamentals are still good, in the next bull run we'll see 99% turn around, no doubt about that.

Vitalik and Ver both say if CSW is Satoshi it would not increase their opinion of him, just lower their opinion of satoshi ... the point is it doesn't make any difference to Bitcoin tech, only weak minds care about who does things, strong minds focus on the 'things' themselves.

^ This, Bitcoin & blockchain are all about what provably happened, CSW loves to trigger people, it doesn't alter how much hash he controls, and we'll soon see how much that is.

What is relative ROI for masternodes and staking, are they approx the same?
198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Bitcoin Cash - Pro on-chain scaling - Cheaper fees on: November 12, 2018, 10:47:40 PM
Adios Bcash... adios SV... Adios Faketoshi Ver
All the best

I think in a few days we see how much hash CSW & friends control, I think it will surprise ALL of us!

If he fails Thursday, then everybody can keep thinking at him as a clown. But if he succeed, then please, pay attention.

Independent rational thinking without emotion is needed which many here lack, some struggle with the idea that people involved with the 'satoshi entity' and the creation of bitcoin might be arrogant dickheads with nasty personal habits, and even might have acted dishonestly in many provable ways. That is ALL irrelevant in what is to come, if satoshi bitcoins start moving in 2020 it doesn't matter diddly squat about the personality and character of the people moving them, just WHERE they move them, and how much hash they control.

Humanity is conditioned to using great innovations created by dishonest dickheads.

Fwiw I think CSW is probably Satoshi. That doesn't mean I like him. But I pay attention to what he says.

And I urge every body to pay attention to him, should he managed to take over BCH. Because he doesn't like altcoins at all, and if he succed in taking over one PoW chain, then Monero could be very well be his next target.

I agree, CSW was involved in the earliest days of bitcoin and ignoring what he says because he comes across like a dickhead is dangerous, like ignoring Trump in 2016 because he was a failed businessman turned reality TV personality. CSW wants to be disliked, probably to make the fuck you sweeter if/when he moves satoshi bitcoin in 2020. He wants to destroy alts like XMR.
