Good update. I have a question for the GUI release. Is the release in the middle of this month a preview of the new GUI? Or will it be fully integrated from this point on. I'm wondering b/c why update a new version of the client with new BST templates and then have to update again later this month instead of rolling out all at once in big update.
The release in the middle of this month is a new GUI -not a preview. But there will be more changes in the future. A GUI is never done once and for all. The reason not to release all in one big update is complexity. Keeping it as seperate releases makes it easier to manage the workflow. There is also the matter of delivering on deadline. You might have noticed that we always deliver on time in accordance with our roadmap. By making the releases more complex, we put that in jeopardy because people almost always deliver last minute internally (working on that). So if there is a last minute issue the night before release, it might be harder to solve in time when it is more complex. |

You should look into SHIFT. This is an candidate for the list i think. Their homepage is already running on an IPFS.Decentralizing the web is a very big thing. https://www.shiftnrg.org/#/And they are like all the other good projects which focus on developing and less on marketing. Hope they change it now to get some attention. I'm sure shift will be given consideration if you submit it according to the guidelines in OP |

The new client GUI scheduled for mid of next month might make life easier for noobs, but is it really something worth putting on a roadmap for a cryptocurrency. The focus should be more on the functionality of the coin, not the eternal GUI. The most important bits would be the release of the final smart contract template in Q2. Hahaha I'll take this as definitive proof that it is not possible to make everyone happy. We have given functionality priority for 3 years and everyone has been complaining that we don't care about the estethics. Now that we are close to releasing a new GUI, we get complaints that we don't give functionality priority. |

1505 ICO's listed on icobench. Where do people think the devs for all those projects can be found? They simply do not exist.

I had a quick question, is there a difference in staking rewards or behavior between the qt client and the market client?
Well the markets client breaks for change and splits your account into denominations. So I think if you have a lot of coins you are more likely to get consecutive stakes. You could certainly do the same thing though in the QT manually by sending yourself coins a few times. With a smaller balance then they should be pretty similar. Thanks for the reply. I had one other question, should the staking reward be 1.5 or 20 bay? I had been using the 1.2 qt and would sometimes get a stake, and when I did it would be 1.5. When I tried using the 2.0 qt I would get a stake of 20, but I never had one of those 20 rewards confirm. It's 20 now after the fork. A lot more people are staking after the fork, so there is more competition now. that explains why it is harder to win a block now. |

Don't post in this thread again else I will request to have your account banned for spamming. Agree! but now that he has been posting here, we might as well us that as an example to educate people that are new to crypto. If a project resorts to spamming, that's a clear sign to stay away. Mostly it is an indicator that the project is smoke and mirrors. It has nothing substansial to market. The veterans tend to stay clear, and the spammers know that. They target the noobs. And you really don't want to invest in a project where the majority of investors are noobs. There is two main reasons for this: 1. The veterans are the ones with money because they already have made big profits. Where a noob often brings less than 1 btc to the table (and certainly less than 5 btc) a veteran might bring hundreds of btc. In other words just one veteran can often move price more than a thousand noobs. 2. When price goes down, noobs tend to panic and increase the downward spiral. The veteran buys the dip instead and thus helps stabilize. Also be aware that many have shilling/spamming as their job. They may have a lot of accounts on bitcointalk and switch between them to give an appearance that many are interested in a project. After a while you will learn to recognice them. So do yourself a favour and stay away from any project grever or any other spammer promotes. It will save you a lot of money |

@grever
Stop spaming this thread. There are thousands of other threads on this forum that were created for shilling. Use one of those instead.

Has anyone ever tried to use the RPC commands of the wallet? It tried both bitbay-qt and bitbayd (newest github clone), and everytime I send a request I only get "empty responses". This is what I send: curl -u bitbayrpc:BBZP3Q4MqWqksU -X post -d '{"id": "0", "method":"getinfo", "params": []}' -H 'content-type: application/json' http://127.0.0.1:25001Curl always reports: curl: (52) Empty reply from server I tried GET and POST and digest auth. Everytime same behaviour.  The same Curl command works for many other currency wallets, only bitbay is making problems. The port is configurated in bitbay.conf and netstat is showing bitbay listening on this port, so to that point everthing seems to be correct. Looks like either a problem in my command or a problem in bitbay wallet RPC implementation? But other wallets from other currencies would also respond an adequate JSON encoded error message in the case the given command is invalid. Bitbay just does nothing. Hmm good question. Well I run RPC with the markets client using python and bitcoins authserviceproxy library and it works just fine. I'm not sure why you would get a blank response. I assume your RPC password and user and server=1 and rpcport are all correct in your config? If you run the markets wallet, it stores the data directory local to c:\bitbay\bitbaydata and if you run the QT it stores it in appdata. We will take a look at it and see if there is any reason for this. Also any reason you aren't using the standard RPC port of 19915? Hi dzimbeck and thank you for your kind response! Yes I checked username and password, as well as the "server" flag (which just opens an additional RPC port?). I'm running it on linux and want to run multiple different wallets in parallel. That's why I used this non-standard port. But even the standard port doesn't change anything. I didn't try the market wallet yet, because I just wanted to use it for staking. Market wallet (client) is good for staking. Actually much better than Qt if you stake multiple accounts at the same time imo |

As I remember, bitbay hired new PR member(s) something like 2 months ago.
Are they still active and working?
If yes, can we know their current planned activities?
Yes, they are active and working. A lot of their work is directly related to our release schedule. We are just finishing the details on that. |

This project is big-time but not in terms of you will get ridiculous gains overnight, you will get steady profit in here for investors not ridiculous but it is safe. What you will get is the ability to take part in a world changing technology. This technology will also take a lot of coins out of the market, has been worked on for years. Not like today where dev comes out asks for 100m to get started on the project lol. I hate 99% of ICOs but I give my full support to this one I also humbly bow down to the dev.
Thanks, means a lot to hear that! It was never my intention to cash grab, I wanted to fix broken things! Hopefully all the time and hard work myself and others have put into this project will be worth it. Your holding account will get more coins if the value "goes up", but what if it "goes down", will coins be deducted from your account?
Sounds like a nightmare from tax accounting/bookkeeping perspective.
Without getting into too much detail and jeopardizing our IP, there are a number of ways to reduce the supply without hair cutting wallets (which would be a TERRIBLE solution!!). Most obvious is to burn fees instead of passing them on as earnings to network nodes. Transactional and general usage fees are the first port of call, followed by DEX trading fees. These mechanisms are sufficient for small adjustments but don't offer a huge amount of supply reduction capability in the event of a "crash". The main mechanism is provided by the fact that to stabilize the base currency independent of oracles and pegging, is that the system itself mediates a lot of the trades. Therefore if a lot of people are cashing out to USD for example, the Radix tokens can be burnt (publicly thus auditable) by the system in order to reduce the available supply and return confidence to the price. Regarding the 50% interest payments every time the mkt cap doubles;
Will it be 50% of the initial holding, or 50% of the holding at time of mkt cap doubling?
Say I purchase 1,000 RDX during ICO and 6 months later the mkt cap doubles, by then I spent 900, and own just 100 RDX.
Will I get 500 RDX or 50 RDX, or is it a different formula altogether?
Interest payments are calculated based on whatever balance is on account at the time of that payment. So if you spent them, you'd only get interest on the remainder. Therefore as a speculator HODL to take advantage of growth and spend interest only if you have to. Hi Fuserleer I finally found time to read up on your project. Good to see it's moving forward. As I have been working on BitBay's peg for the last three years, this is an area of particular interest to me. One of my conclusions has been that a peg that relies on incentives instead of being enforcable, is vulnarable (ref. NUBITS). Do you disagree? I'm aware you avoid using the term pegging, but what you are describing is in reality an attempted hard peg upwards. But you seem to have chosen a very weak peg downwards. Is that correct, or am I missing something. If it is correct, I find it very interesting. That would mean you have made the opposite choice we did. Our peg is very strong and enforcable downwards, but weaker upwards. Why did you make that choice? I would love to hear you elaborate a little on this. (I perfectly understand if you don't want to reveal all details yet. We are also holding back a lot of detail for now.) |

Early supporter of this coin as far as minor investor but I have to admit I haven't used the site yet. I am a serious eBayer with the same account since 1998 and thousands of sales there. If the BitBay experience could be the same kind of experience as eBay it would be awesome. Any thoughts on this?
That is where we are headed. However remember this is like a combination of local bitcoins, craigs list, alibaba, ebay, freelancer, barteronly all in one! It's because of the versatility of the unbreakable contracts. The advantage we have over ebay is no fees, no escrow, etc. The drawback for now is it's desktop software but we are very interested in a web interface. This requires a rewrite of Halo in JavaScript. With the continued success of the coin it's becoming more realistic. The desktop software itself is pretty powerful the templates are meant to be as few clicks as possible. Also someone has worked on a bitmessage relay server to speed up messaging. And someone also built some electrumx nodes for fast connection to the network. So the user experience will continue to improve. I'm almost done with my next template which will make it more user friendly to buy/sell. It has a shipping calculator (only useful for estimating larger packages). It also has auctions and even reverse auctions (where sellers bid for buyers). And so forth. Do we have any javascript people on the team now? Yes |

So you chose to delete my question, whoever you are. It`s always easy to delete and remove questions that we feel hitts us hard and make us feel fear and upset. For what is really worse that to let the truth about bitbay be reveled. 
It may seems a little ironic but I want to say thank you for showing me who you really are. I will get rid of the rest of my tokens asap. I have my doubt that bitbay again will be among the 100 biggest Mcap. I focus only on Project that I am convinsed that this Project is not a winner in the long run. So far I have 12 other projcts that I am invested in, and bitbay won`t be among these. So I have 50.000 bitbay tokens for sale. I just hope I am able to get 20 cent for them.
I wish you good Luck guys, but I am done with bitbay!
I wish you a happy New year. I deleted it, and I will do so again. If you had done your research (as one would expect from someone claiming 18 years investor experience) you would know that BitBay community is full of knowledgable members that have been in crypto for a long time. And although they are always willing to help noobs that come with an honest question, they have no patience with people that are throwing out claims that they would know are false if they had bothered to do just a minimum of research. We have all seen to many kids coming in here pretending they know more than they do. Not to mention fudders. And you have come across as being one of the two. That is the reason for your less than warm welcome here. If you want answers to questions, you can try to ask them without claims that have no fundation in reality. You are likely to get an answer then. If you keep doing what you have been doing, you will end up on many's ignore list and my delete list. The choice is yours. I think it's a wise decision to selll your Bay. Life is to short to spend it on being unhappy because of a few coins. |

Happy new year to everyone in the Bay community2017 has been a great year for BitBay. We had a marketcap of approximately $1 mil at the beginning of the year, and are now at approximately $175 mil. For the investors that is very nice of course. And so it is for the team as well because it shows that all the hard work is now starting to get noticed We have had a lot of releases, two automated forks included, a rebranding that has earned us a lot of praise from the community, established our own forum, and community growth that at times has been exponential. Much has changed during the year, and most noticably the team. At the beginning of the year there were only three very active members of the team; David, Craig, and me. There were a lot more ppl on the team, but most of them only occasionally active or active for only short periods of time. So this is what our team looked like at the beginning of the year: David -fulltime Craig, and me - very active Gjesteele (writer), lowercase (video), Meta (web dev) -some activity or high activity for short periods of time. 3-5 people helping now and then We seriously started expanding the team this spring, and we are still expanding. This is our team now: David (lead dev) -fulltime Me (operations manager) -fulltime Craig (applications manager) -fulltime Shorn (project manager) - Halftime, will go fulltime in a few weeks Giorgos (web dev) half time Guima (Art director) almost halftime Luise (designer) part time Aletha (recruitment ++) part time Anoxy (dev) part time Yshurik (dev) part time Chris (dev) part time Andree UX/GUI) part time Security guy that prefers to not draw attention -part time Bitbayguy (comunity manager, writer, support ++) part time Mantrack (comunity manager, writer, support ++) part time Squigg (community manager, support) part time Elaine (writer) part time Dw (chinese community manager) part time Igor (Russian community manager) part time Seonyong (Korean communinty manager starting now) part time Alba (spanish community manager) part time xxotakuxx (team assistant) part time We also have 5-10 people that are only active when specific tasks need to be solved or very active short periods of time. Amongs them you find video, animation, writer, web dev, etc. There are also a few that are not on this list because their roles are being redefined atm or because they are just starting out. The number of community members that are actively helping out now and then is also increasing. They are not on the list because it's hard to decide where to draw the line in regards to if they should be mentioned or not. We are still hiring btw. Particularly experienced js and python devs. So if you know any devs looking for work, feel free to send them to me or aletha. Team page on our site will be updateded to reflect the above once we get the time to do it. Based on first hand knowledge about the team, I think that 2017 was only the appetizer. We now have everything in place to make 2018 a fantastic year for BitBay

Personally I'm a little uncertain if it fits the criteria or not. My concerns are: 1. Proven development team. Not sure we can conclude a development team is proven after less than six months. 2. Obvious use case. Any coin can be used for charity, and several have it as their main focus. I don't believe that a coin who's only use case is charity has much chance of wide spread adoption, and thus also will fail as a charity coin. Maybe togoshigekata can elaborate on this? Despite my above concerns, I believe it warrants a discussion about adding them to the list or not. Arguments have been made for all five criteria, and unless they are met by counter arguments, the coin should make it to the list. 6 months is to young to be added to the list.If this coin will be added there can be added dozens of coins and that wouldnt be the sense of the thread i think. The sense is to make a list with the best coins.Real longterm projects,fair,with a real usecase.Not any coins that is a little better then the rest.There are to many out there.. I also think they should not be added, but they made arguments for all 5 criteria so it's fair to discuss it before dismissing them I think. I don't believe we can have any criteria for how old the coin should be to be accepted. Some coins go through a lot of development before they launch. But in this case I think they are to young to deserve the label proven. I base this on the age of the coin + one more argument that I did not make above; One of the arguments this is a proven team, was that the lead dev has 20 yours of coding experience. That is a good starting point of course, but does not make him a proven blockchain dev. We have several code monkeys in BitBay with a life long coding experience. They are very talented, but there is still a lot they don't know about blockchain. The reason that is not a problem in BitBay is that they have David to go to for guidance and code review. I don't see any experienced blockchain devs listed in the argument for BBP being proven team. |
