Have the devs ever thought about doing a crowd funding and finally finish off digibyte for good. You might have to give up your identities but it will be worth it. I think digibyte gets the funding because Jared has put himself out there and not anonymous.

Your pussy developers are anonymous, don't come stir your shit in the digibyte ann.

Obvious troll is obvious, but it's worth noting that since this is an open source project I certainly have no need / interest in the personal identities of other devs I've worked with. It's not like knowing their name / nationality gives any more credence to the code that is generated. The idea that somehow knowing who Bernie Madoff was didn't help those who trusted him. On the contrary not a soul has any proof who Satoshi Nakamoto is but the code securing the network now has a fairly substantial bounty of trust on it, primarily due to the open source nature of the project.

I will state that my interactions with 8bitcoder and nzsquirrell have been professional, gracious, and courteous. That's all I could ask for or need. The code is on github and the devs are active on reddit, always willing to answer a question no matter how noobish it might seem. There is a slack channel which is primarily used for release coordination (the jury is still out on how comfortable I am with the closed nature of slack, I'm probably more comfortable with a public IRC channel).

We should all know by now that anyone who states that a "real person" backing a project somehow gives it legitimacy is suspect.

Edit: and to answer your question, no I don't think any "crowd funding" has ever been suggested to my knowledge. I don't think anyone would be interested in disrupting another project as a primary goal.

Edit2: I take that back, we did have a "crowd funding" of sorts, an investment in a mac mini a while back to assist with OSX releases. I think it probably is sitting on nzsquirrell's desk Smiley

Anyone having difficulty with Coinomi wallet connecting, or its just me?

update: the Electrum Uno server seems to be down. I'll try to contact Cryptapus to see if he can resolve this.

Network provider issues... May be flaky for a week or a bit more. More electrum servers would certainly keep this from being an issue.

Was a net seller of UNO in August 2016.  UNO-->BTC-->Bovada + 100% match bonus (up to $250 at a time, unlimited times, until 3 October 2016; subject to 5x rollover requirement)  Also, I'll also be parting with some silver-->USD-->BTC-->Bovada + bonus.  Upside: double your balance  Downside:  balance in USD, must turn $1,250 in volume per $250 deposit before bonus funds eliglble to be withdrawn (which takes time when risking ONLY 1% - 3% of bankroll per event) [and not sure yet if withdrawals are in USD or BTC]

Haven't paid much attention to crypto markets for the last month.  I'd like to find a solution for an UNO community autotrader; how to fund it, how to operate/manage it, how to report P&L, how to disperse/utilise profits, and a plan for succession, ending it, or otherwise updating or changing the project.

Consider creating a private group with an X UNO amount buy in with the UNO collected being used for projects.  Gambit (GAM) does this with a lifetime membership buy in for private GAM Telegram group.  I haven't been there lately as I've been busy with non-crypto stuff.  I think UNO could benefit from actions similar to those GAM is taking.  Maybe think about picking up some GAM for joining group or price appreciation.  Maybe GAM group think about picking up some UNO too.   Shocked

Interested in the possibilities of UNO as always.  Also I'll be popping in the GAM Telegram later in the week.

  

  

Sounds like a crypto pooling scheme, which would raise the hair on my neck.... If you're going to go down this path I would at least take a look at multi-sig with multiple entities at signatories who will be custodians. This is the kind of use-case multi-sig was meant for (albeit Bitfinex was using it wrong).

Any servers still available for use with the Electrum wallet?

None of these seem valid:

myr.theblockexplorer.com 50009
myr.electr.us
myr.theblockexplorer.com


I believe those servers disappeared a long time ago. Your best bet if you're using version < 2.4.4 is to import the private keys in to Myriad-QT, or you can try your seed in my version of electrum.

The games I maintain at https://cryptap.us/uno/dice have an update. I noticed that they don't get a lot of traffic so it is possible that I could create a "secret key" immediately before I published it that matched all the past results for the day, thus allowing me to cheat. I now post a sha512 hash of the "secret key" that you can save before you play and can be used in the proof to confirm that I'm not monkeying with the games.

Not too mention that all the exchanges have already switched to latest version, so they'd have nowhere to trade their classic coins. Color me skeptical that exchanges such as poloniex would list both coins  Roll Eyes

There's another issue with myriad-classic. There's a 3 consecutive algo limit, so classic would need at least one other algo to go along with it. (And eventually all 5 if it wants to maintain any credibility). So someone will have to drive down the difficulty of the Aux-pow chains to get there... Not impossible, but we'll find out if our consensus rules were sufficient in a bit. It's possible that 75% consensus is not sufficient (I even initially proposed a lower consensus threshold, I'm glad it was revisited in light of recent events)... I guess the elephant in the room is ETHC, but I would argue that issue goes beyond a future mining rule change.

Huh? How is response to theft worse than altering immutability?


I didn't know the word immutability, i googled it. "In object-oriented and functional programming, an immutable object (unchangeable object) is an object whose state cannot be modified after it is created."  Based on the definition it seems like the object wouldn't be immutable if it could be altered.


Which is why ETH (forked) is no longer a cryptocurrency (if it ever was one). If history can be altered because some or most people aren't happy, you don't need a blockchain. A database will do.

Was the exchange paying out portions of the fees they collected to all their users? I highly doubt it. So if they weren't willing to share in the gains, why should all users be responsible in sharing for the losses?!

I feel it is worse because being hacked is an assumed risk when using an exchange. I doubt anyone goes into an exchange thinking that if the exchange is hacked that their funds could be used to pay others who lost something. That is what makes it worse to me.

If it leads to insolvency, those who didn't have the opportunity to removes fund before the whole thing burned down, would be in the same boat anyway. Although i suppose if they got out, they got out, so they won't be affected. If they didn't make it out and their funds are frozen there and they are accepting it as total loss then 60% of what they had prior isn't so bad. Which sucks because if you lost nothing, why should you still take a 30% hit?

I thought that was half the allure of the chain. That if something like this happened thanks to the chain you could prove ownership no problem. Really funds shouldn't be frozen from anyone, they should all be allowed to withdraw. That is what i take issue with.

The people running the exchange should be held liable. NOT the users of the exchange.

Someone breaks into my neighbors house and robs them. Now someone is taking half my shit to help my neighbor out? Like not even shit they lost, just shit that might be somewhat equivalent in value. That is no different than what is happening and it still rubs me wrong.

There is no solution. Prevention is the only solution.

The point was, if the coins are not in your wallet and you trusted a 3rd party and they're all the sudden not living up to their 3rd party promises... Well, you can't say that hasn't happened before and sorry for your loss. The coins weren't in your house if they were at BFX.

Meanwhile, the blockchain continues and is unaffected.

After much thought, analysis, and consultation, we have arrived at the conclusion that losses must be generalized across all accounts and assets. This is the closest approximation to what would happen in a liquidation context. Upon logging into the platform, customers will see that they have experienced a generalized loss percentage of 36.067%. In a later announcement we will explain in full detail the methodology used to compute these losses. https://bitfinex.statuspage.io/

After such much thought, analysis, consultation and the conclusion there must be the liquidation  Angry

the main capital of any financial institute, the trust, has gone

As I said earlier, this is socialism at it's finest  Cheesy




That is the most fucking RETARDED thing i have yet to see in the cryptoworld. This offends me more than rolling back block chains. This is horrible. Although evolution often needs a catalyst. Seeing how they soften the blow on the bigger cry babies by making those who lost little lose more should make us all take pause and question what the fuck is going on. This is worse than the banks now. What bittfinex did now is steal EVERYONES money and redistribute it. It is sounding more and more like an inside job as this goes on.

Why didn't the exchange have an insurance policy to protect deposits? Oh you mean for as real as crypto is, it is still a fucking toy that no one backs like that? What is the marketcap of btc, is it really 9 fucking billion dollars, hard to believe someone isn't willing to insure that. Or, that insurance like that exists but they opted not to use it? I dunno. All they did was turn the assets of all who used the site into an insurance policy.

The hack was bad, their reaction is 100 times worse.

Indeed if they follow through with this, it is more absurd then the eth hardfork. HOW in any way are people unaffected responsible for the funds of those who are???

Huh? How is response to theft worse than altering immutability?

Not to be overly pedantic, but what was stolen from users was BFX tokens that anyone assumes are worth more than the risk. Anyone who signed their outputs to an address they don't control the private keys to should know the risks by now.

On another note, perhaps bitsquare or localbitcoins should be examined a little more if you're wanting to play the market.

When are the exchanges changing their tickers?

Bitsquare and Cryptopia are already updated. Poloniex has been notified and I think responded that they will do it at some point, perhaps they are waiting for the actual fork.

Bittrex wants 1.5 BTC to change the ticker. Anyone who wants to pay them can.

Actually, I did receive a bounty of about 250,000 MYR to make the wallet.

Hash Engineering Solutions is working on the update for the upcoming fork (0.11.3.1). 

The update will include faster syncing for new users and less battery usage.

Since the yescrypt code doesn't exist in Java, some Android devices may not be supported.  If I am wrong about yescrypt not existing in Java, then let me know.

Thank you for your support! I couldn't find a tip address in your latest wallet, can you share how folks can tip your work?

FYI HashEngineering did the original Myriad android wallet for NO bounty (AFAIK), just the challenge. Someone who really likes their craft! Smiley

news on the MYR is? Huh
I sell a time of development and do not meet the slag currency
developers or gone missing Undecided

They helping develop the next update for digibyte.

8bitcoder is on reddit pretty frequently, think he just posted over the weekend. Cryptapus is usually in ##myriadcoin on freenode irc. Nzsquirrell is a bit more reclusive, but he is on reddit occasionally too, and usually in the slack channel.

There's an update that is in the process of activating right now. What do you want? Hard forks every week?



It's kind of funny, I count 57 individual commits in June and July on the core client alone (and not all from one dev):

https://github.com/myriadteam/myriadcoin/commits/master

When you compare other crap on coinmarketcap I think Myriad has had a good stretch lately.

But if you came here as an "investor" and thought you'd be rich by now.. Sorry, no sympathy. Smiley

FWIW, I don't work on pre-mined chains, so no DGB for me. If other devs are working on it, good for them I guess (viva la open source) but I don't really care.

I've had to revert to using the v9 client on all my nodes now - the resource usage on the v11 client is just too high. I hope the devs reconsider forking v9 clients off the network....

Oh no.... Myriad Classic?  Grin

This is actually mildly interesting... Something like Myriad classic would require the classic fork to overcome the difficulty of at least 2 algos (all 5 eventually)... Plus, this fork is not trying to alter a supposedly immutable transaction so it might not end up with much support.

IconFirm, your vote is noted via consensus, but please do add some more information if you are seeking assistance. What pool software are you using? Any pool logs? Are you still having block submission issues or is this a complaint due to resource usage? We have upgraded blocks on all algos (including aux-pow) so there are solutions out there somewhere...

edit: the difference in your logs is expected, there were quite a few changes in daemon status logs from 0.9 -> 0.11. Also, did you try seeking help from /u/nzsquirrell on reddit? He has some input regarding getwork vs. getblocktemplate:

The CPU usage should calm down once 8 or more peers are found, please addnode some from http://myriad.nutty.one/home

Interesting though, to clarify you're saying that the Myriad 0.11.3.1 daemon using qubit is not using high cpu with only 4 peers?

I checked again and found that qubit's connection is now over 8. (I have modified net.cpp MAX_OUTBOUND to higher number)
Don't know why it consumed so low cpu at that time.

I added several nodes to groestl algo daemon manually and now it consumes low cpu.
Connection count was only 5 but increased. Maybe that daemon did have some trouble finding peers.

Seems like memory usage is the last problem.
myriad daemons are consuming more memory than even bitcoin. Is it related to multi algo structure?

That's my assumption, yes. A Myriad node has to confirm blocks for all algorithms, not just sha256d.

Is there any way to reduce the CPU, memory usage from new version?

It consumes too much CPU at startup and eating more than 1GB of memory during running.
Do I have to tweak some numbers?

We have observed that CPU usage will be high until at least 8 nodes are connected. Once enough peers are found it seems to settle down. Memory use is high though, and I suspect that will be difficult to limit. You could try to set a ulimit on your daemon user and experiment though... Undoubtedly more work needs to be done on this front.

CPU usage is still high even I ran new myriadcoin daemon for more than 10 hours.
Surprisingly, connection count is 5 still.
This daemon's algo is set for "groestl".

Interest thing is, I have another daemon which runs for qubit algo.
I started few minutes ago, and it's connection is 4, CPU usage is quite small. Around 0.5%
I think it's normal.

...

Anyway, it's hard to maintain this kind of daemon on 24/7 server. It harms much.

The CPU usage should calm down once 8 or more peers are found, please addnode some from http://myriad.nutty.one/home

Interesting though, to clarify you're saying that the Myriad 0.11.3.1 daemon using qubit is not using high cpu with only 4 peers?

OK, this isn't good.

CPU = 20-25%
RAM = 1GB+
Merge mining broken.

I think I'll revert back to the older v9 client in order to get everything working again, as I'm seeing quite a few v9 clients still in use. Can someone tell me if I'll have to redownload the entire blockchain again - or can I use the one I'm using with v11?

Thanks.

I'm not sure merge mining is broken, see:

http://insight-myr.cryptap.us/block/1bc76704452bae595989f60527519abcd9a718af6627a29aebe913844c4535a3

This is a sha256d block, appears to be aux-pow, and a version 4 block. That should be on 0.11.3.1

The fork will be done via consensus, 75% v4 blocks after block 1764000. But v 0.9.x can be forked before that block, if 75% v4 consensus is met.

edit: I'm keeping some status here: https://cryptap.us/myr/myrstat

0.11.3.1 miners are v4 miners

Hello,

I hope everyone is doing great.

In the very first post of this thread and also on http://unobtanium.uno/ there is a link to a UNO paper wallet generator which is https://cryptap.us/uno/paperwallet.html

Since I do not want to use this site online, I wanted to download the GitHub Repository with the link on the bottom of that site. This link however leads to bitaddress.org (the repository of the Bitcoin paper wallet generator), not the one for UNO.

Could maybe someone post the correct link (and ideally also change the wrong link on https://cryptap.us/uno/paperwallet.html)?

Thanks a lot
Kay
Cryptapus might have it posted on his Github, but I'm not sure where it is exactly.

This Uno port of Bitaddress generates keys in your browser, not on the server.
Once it loads in your browser, disconnect from the internet. Now generate your paper wallet offline. Print it and close your browser window.

I've never bothered putting it on github... The source is visible and I've signed it with my pgp key if you're concerned about your copy... However, if your interested, you can find the same bitaddress.org vintage site and do a diff on it to see my changes. You'll find there are only cosmetic and coin version differences. (As well as my addition of "Labels" from some of the work originating from the Casascius project.)

Perhaps when I find the time I'll host it on github...
