According to https://www.ziftrcoin.com/presale/ , they brought in over $875,000.00.

People insist on buying into ICOs. Cannot feel sorry for them.

At least these guys had decent wallets and a mining plan from the get-go.

I still maintain a good name is everything. Why give a name than rhymes with shitter?

There was a lot of dirt unearthed about XC. Pretty hard coming back from that. Not too mention it was basically abandoned when the Blocknet plan was hatched. But XC/Blocknet has a full time spin doctor well versed with "baffle with bullshit" so who knows if an attempt at reviving both will happen here.

You could be right but after all your Eth shilling no one believes anything you say.

Thanks for a knowledgable explanation.

How the hell do you know? I have assets on Polo so ya ... I'm concerned.

I sure hope the exchange is not located there. If so, they better move to a secure location or have armed guards on duty.

I run Electrum on a similar OS. How did you install Electrum? With sudo pip install ...? And the required python dependencies?

I can't help you but am going to watch this thread. That error is concerning and you were right not to install google.protobuf.

Just when you think this place can't get any weirder something like this pops up. 

Yours would be the only altcoin I would not hesitate to buy right off the bat, no questions asked.  And you are absolutely right about my skill set.

I never take any new altcoin seriously. 

If its been around for a couple years, still trading, and still worth something; then it must have something going for it.

That is an interesting tidbit the eth shills and bagholders would not want public.

I wonder how much VB brought in dumping eth? No one will ever know the true figure. Another 18 mil to piss away?

It all about the money. It always is. 

I would not want to bet on Ethereum's future.  

Once the money runs out and Eth becomes a community project(as Vitalik has already stated) things will get very quiet on the Ethereum front.

"The foundation and its subsidiaries alone simply do not have the manpower to push the entirety of this vision through to its ultimate completion, including proof-of-stake driven scalable blockchains, seamlessly integrated distributed hash tables, programming languages with formal verification systems backed by state-of-the-art theorem provers and dozens of categories of middleware, all by itself; although the foundation and its subsidiaries can, and will, continue to be the primary driver of technology at the core, a highly community-driven model is necessary and essential, both to help the Ethereum ecosystem maximally grow and flourish and to establish Ethereum as a decentralized project which is ultimately owned by all of humanity, and not any one group."

Pay attention to hardware if you want to run linux on it. Nvidia or Intel graphics work well. Atheros, Ralink, and Intel wireless work well although many others are supported. Avoid Broadcom wireless.

Not all name brands are linux friendly. I've heard some Asus machines are problematic. Dell is normally linux friendly. 

You must be able to disable "secure boot" via the bios to install and run linux in most cases.  Make sure this option exists.

I don't find a 4 inch screen all that exciting where I would want to spend hours interacting with it. I find it ok for *phone* calls. 

I have been reading thankyou.

Eth production and numbers seem to be a little vague.
From what I'm gathering, the original "plan" was almost unlimited production with final numbers of eth being over 1 billion. A subsequent "plan" points to a 100 million eth cap.
So ... the "plan" can change and who really knows how many eth will be printed.

Ok. Let's get this straight.

The OP's numbers are from the original "plan" where a billion+ eth would be eventually produced. Correct?

According to another poster the "plan" has changed to limit the final number from 90 to 100 million with some inflation. Correct?

Does anyone know if the "plan" has changed again?

Will eth devs have the ability to change coin production at will or as needed?

So far I've seen nothing etched in gold as far as numbers go and this is unsettling.

Yawn ... another pump&dumper ..... where the noobs trade their bitcoin for soon-to-be worthless shitcoins. Its an endless cycle. Fun if you are on the winning side though.

Make some profits from the pumps is fine but don't let people tell you to hold till eth reaches $15 ....$50 .... $500.

Remember, there are thousands of eth mined daily and the number of eth in existence will be billions as time rolls on.  Right now the pump is fueled by speculators, whales, day traders and god-only-knows what other kinds of manipulation. The man on the street is not buying eth.

I went through coinmarketcap history earlier. There have been many many bubbles where coins got to spitting distance from btc. Some are still high but others are worthless or almost so. At the time, they too were going to change the world.

The ultimate goal of any altcoin is to be exchanged for the king > Bitcoin.  Guard your btc with your life.

Good luck.

Web wallet or command line wallet. That's it?

All these famous devs could not give us a working wallet for every platform?

I could point out a lesser known project that had working wallets with built-in mining for many platforms at launch but I'm not that guy.

I was expecting more from Decred.
