Why does it say that anyone watching your internet connection cannot figure you're using TorCoin because of tor, but on the torproject website they say you can be tracked that way?
Don't read too much into it. They're simply covering their asses in the event that someone does in fact get tracked doing something illegal by means of the Tor network. They will be able to say "I told you so" and not be held accountable. No network can guarantee 100% anonymity on the internet. Tor does a great job, but it's not infallible. A packet going through the Tor network can be intercepted at an exit node and some information can be gleaned from that. However, Tor is random and, in theory, never uses the same path twice. So there is no way of knowing which exit node is going to pass traffic at any given time. And that is, of course, unless someone has access to every known and unknown exit node all at once, which is impossible. That's the thing, is people have been tracked that way. The tor project will admit people have been tracked that way, which is why they help you with other ways around that. It doesn't seem anyone here, especially the dev has actually done research on how tor works. Ever wonder how people get tracked on the darknweb, yaknow, the part of the Web you access through tor? I'm very familiar with Tor and how it works. I did quite a bit of research and wrote several papers on it when getting my M.S. in Cybersecurity. I use Tor from time-to-time as well. I even went to some of the sites on the "dark web" to see what it was all about... once. Never again. There were way too many highly questionable things out there that I did not want to be associated with in any way. As far as Torcoin goes, well, that "anonymous" thing is one of the selling points OP is using to advertise his coin. And he is certainly within his rights to do so. If people want to use Torcoin for nefarious activities, then they are taking a huge risk, and that's on them if they get tracked and caught. If you did so much research then you know that people have been caught and he lies when he says how anonymous it is. So not only did he ripoff the name and logo, he lied about the technology. No wonder the torproject wants nothing to do with this guy. Yes, I do know that people have been caught doing illegal things, even with the use of Tor. Jeez, are my posts that hard to understand?  Did I not make it clear that Tor is NOT 100% anonymous? It even says as much right on the Tor browser home page. You did not make that clear, actually you defended him by saying he had the right to claim that amount of anonymity. Jeez, is it that hard to read what you wrote? I understood what I wrote just fine. He can claim whatever the hell he wants to. Understand that first. The burden of proof is on him to defend that claim. Either he'll respond and address your concern, or he'll ignore you. That's on him. Do you understand what you wrote? Because your previous statement proved otherwise. That's the problem, he blatantly lies, then has been ignoring me when I bring it up. In fact no one has had anything to say about all of the hypocrisy going on in this project. |

We've crossed 0.001 BTC/TOR!! 10 BTC in trade volume!! We're growing every single day!  I wish this project all the best:P it is allways good to have more onion routers around! but describe what it does and what it does not. Do not say that you reward onion routers in any way because you do not. you increase the number of routers as your software comes with one and thats it:) then there is no need for a white paper as there is nothing to describe. sorry once again. it is allways good to see people willing to aid such projects as Tor. But describe what you do. Do not log off when people are waiting for answers. If such is the case I WISH THIS PROJECT ALL THE BEST. even though we are working on a Tor-killer. Tor is a GREAT project. it aids many people world-wide and if your currency is to increase the number of routers then I wish ti ALL THE BEST.
The most confusing part was that you reward TOR nodes. Now see I'm not a troll:P I'm just researching what's going on in the field:P you might want to check out the link I gave you from time to time. maybe when the countdown finishes who knows maybe it might make you rich.. you do not see a cryptocurrency with a completely entirely new source code that often do you:P I'm out. peace be with you. At our project we are not developing a coin; we are reinventing the Internet... from Internet as we know it to IoT
Thank you The thread never stated it rewarded Tor nodes, you got that wtong xD It said it rewards people for running Tor nodes  What's the reward? |

I am using an online exchange to store my TOR because I do not wish to download the client. Is this safe? I hope so, because I will receive a lot of TOR through the signature campaign.
No, don't do it. It's not safe to store large amounts of crypto on an exchange. just download the wallet for windows or MAC WHY do you say torcoin is completely safe an anonymous when on the tor website it says opposite? |

Here's another problem I have. In the OP of this ANN it states "TOR is fully integrated with TorCoin, which means that a snoop or attacker watching your internet connection will not know if you are using TorCoin - and other TorCoin users cannot determine the physical location of your Torcoin node.". But here, at the tor project website. https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en, at the bottom in the staying anonymous section it very clearly states, "Tor does not provide protection against end-to-end timing attacks: If your attacker can watch the traffic coming out of your computer, and also the traffic arriving at your chosen destination, he can use statistical analysis to discover that they are part of the same circuit" |

White paper = Science  well in the field of crypto etc? ****YES***** It does not need to be a white paper published on a conference. It can be done anonymously (look at Bitcoin) *BUT* describe what is going on under the hood. Do not steal name of a well established project such as Tor and claim that you aid their nodes. Some of your advert-guys already responded to me that it is 'Tor' after all;] another guy asked how to claim his reward for operating a browser ! not everyone is so computer-literate and you are feeding yourselves on their lack of knowledge. go figure. Tor is a dictionary word not a trademark name! It's not "advert-guys" it's users of Torcoin and members of our signature campaign. Even if Torcoin was anything you've written, it wouldn't make any difference, what's true is Torcoin provides: anonymity, fast transactions, and has a nice catchy name A devoted community is all it takes to push this coin high up While you're attacking Torcoin, we're at 0.0009BTC and 8.5BTC in trade volume!The definition of "tor" is "A high craggy hill". So how does that relate? |

*** Helping the TOR Network
By running TorCoin, you are increasing the number of nodes on the TOR network, and thereby helping people across the world remain anonymous. Now instead of feeling angry I'm feeling sorry and a deep sadness fills me. that I've jumped on such a rant:( This project is indeed sad. You just wanted to increase the number of Tor nodes so you copy pasted the source of an onion router and attached it to a cryptocurrency. But then the result is the same as if somone just downloaded a Tour router and decided to help the world you are aware of that right:( You understand the purpose of the coin isn't anything Tor related? The purpose of a coin, is in its name It's a coinIt's made for payments It's anonymous more then other crypytos and the transactions are really fast, what else can you ask for? What else do you need in a coin? That's what Torcoin stands for and what it represents And that's why I like it I'd just like to ask is torcoin worth trying to mine with an lower end pc? I;d like to mine it with gpu and maaaybe cpu but I don't know if I could mine any at all and I wouldn't like to use any kind of pool tho.
Try it and see how it works I wasn't going to butt in here, but I could only read the hypocrisy of "this is not related to tor" so many times. Not only did you use the name of the tor network, you took their logo too. So even if not development wise it's related to tor, you definitely schemed yourself right in there to market it as related |

Yes, it is really strange. Is the coin even still actively developed anymore?
Devs are currently in "Quiet and Accumulate" mode. Okay, so would you say it is worth setting up a masternode and going through all the work? That would be a question that only you can answer. |
|
|
|
I have been trying also but not working out very well.... plus their instructions are using the transfer coin wallet which is not good at all.
That would be the old devs doing. Rest assured there will be a better one in due time. The original dev went MIA awhile ago and the community was waiting to see if he was just taking a break or something. |

Hey guys,
is there a guide to set up a masternode. I have a very old PC, does it need a lot of ressources to run?
Besides the one in the op there is not yet. You can use the transfercoin video guide as of now if you want. It is practically identical. Or you can DM anticlimax for a link to slack and get more help. And it does not need alot at all. On a 1 core 2gb ram you can have about 6 running. So that should help gauge the resource usage a little. |

Issues synchronizing with the network... I added the nodes in the config file but after 30 minutes still no connections.
Weird, i have 17 connections to the network. I tried to add some nodes manually but still nothing. I'll wait a little or maybe change host... Well I left the GUI wallet and the daemon wallet open over night and still nothing. Any more nodes than the ones written in the OP? Ask anticlimax for entry to Slack group and we can give you the peers.dat file to put in the folder, or even a copy of the blockchain Alright thanks WHY? this coin moving towards pumping dumping coin with the small marketcap it is not hard to make the price fluctuate a lot or start a pump. The key is to not buy in to it everytime, get it while it's cheap, if you believe in it you will hold it. the amount of masternodes on the network has been very consistent and as the actual community starts forming less people will be selling. Especially when good news starts coming how I think of it though is, with $1,000 I could move synx a lot, while something else such as tx would not be moved as much. to many people do not think about that and see it going up and fomo. not really a pnd, just some weak hands buying in at the wrong time. I'll admit though, most of my masternodes were bought at a higher price. they have gone nowhere though. even for the short period they were back in the green I really don't watch the price to much though. This coin every time pumps 100%-200% and thereafter Dump continusly for 1 week to reach again lowest price.. Than again same .. What to those who holding it for long .. This coin is now gamble where we do not wait for development for long but only for dumping and pumping .. How any one could hold for long ?? I do not know where you are getting the thought it raises then goes back to the lowest price, it's lowest price was months ago. Perhaps you are talking about how it's been bouncing back and forth in the same range for a little while now? That seems to be a pretty normal thing in the market. In fact I watch, and watched seveal do it at almost the same time this weekend, and every week. It's fun watching the cycles until one spontaneously breaks out. I am sorry that things are not being worked on fast enough for you. Picking up the pieces of someone else's work is not the easiest, and then figuring out how to move forward is even more of a task. Everything will happen in due time. Just realize, not every investment is a quick profit investment. And with all the coin has and is going through, be glad it has not dropped below the range it's been bouncing between. It's been holding quite well, especially with all the traders obviously currently in the market to just scalp. So if you're willing to ride the waves, sit back, and enjoy the ride. Things will come come in due time. |

Hey guys, all of the slack invite links I find don't work. Can I get one that does please? And are the exchanges on op of this ANN the ones to get crave from that is not a fork? I believe I saw something earlier about some hacing coins on a fork (I have not read all of this ANN).
Yes do not buy or send to yobits they are on a forked chain only use wallet version 1.4.5.0 for now.You can head over to poswallet and vote to add crave.There is a very new exchange that added crave and My coin MetalMusicCoin but like I said its an exchange barely a week old trade with caution. Sweet. Thank you for the swift reply. I will get over to poswallet and vote. This is a really cool project and I'd love to see it get rolling. If there is anything else I can do throw it out there. And as a side note, I could not find how much is needed for a node, could that be placed somewhere easy to find in the op? |

Is it hard to share his 200+ connections, if they actually exist? Is he the one who created this isolated staking sub-network?
Your accusations are very serious and you attack me personally. Let's arrange some escrow secured bet basing on your theory. Are you fine with it? How much you want to bet? I love how your first response is to attack. Instead of trying to defend yourself and do something helpful. Good job, still not even something as simple as extra nodes to help people out...... |

What is 8bit? it's cheap and the low coin supply is nice. but besides a low coin supply what is a reason to invest? or, even better, to use? The community seems to be decently active but there hasn't seemed to be to much in the way of development.
If you are looking for serious, fundamental based investment you should spend some time and read this thread or at least my posts here. There were some hints describing planned coin usage. It's better than expecting to be convinced to buy this or any other asset. If you are looking for trend-based / speculation investment then it used to work this way: if someone tells BUY - I should sell, if someone tells me SELL - I should buy. However, this market is way too small to follow this scheme. Its the masternodes, its the craze right now.
Although masternodes don't have a value per se anymore, they are essential for us to achieve desired goals well, first let me say sorry that I have not read through all 200 and some odd pages of this bs old thread, (I have actually pointed other people to things such as wallet and blockchain bootstrap days ago on slack), perhaps when I get through the thousands of pages of other ANNs of coins I want to know about I'll get to reading ALL of this one. I guess expecting people to explain their product is to much. Yaknow, people have very important meetings to explain everything to investors/partners (since you seem to only think investing means just money I guess I'll throw partners in there to make you feel safer) I'm looking for an investment that is actually going to be worth spending my time and money helping. However, it seems you know what you are looking for and I obviously am just an annoyance. Its the risk, and everyone decides it for himself - whether to belive or not.
No risk, no fun. Haha, what could "masternodes on steroids" possible be?
ok cool. this already has its own code and algo right? what are masternodes on steroids? it seems like it could be a great project. the name definitely sets it apart right off the bat.
On steroids means we aim to provide own purpose for them (these applications are briefly mentioned in this thread, find them if you want). However, it's neither trivial task nor this purpose has market-demand confirmed (or created). There will be new ANN with more details and road map to achieve them. No resources, capital, etc. are confirmed and no guarantee whatsoever given. At this moment we need rather smart-money than just money. So I when read "why should I invest" my answer is "I don't care". I welcome support, resources, ideas. If all you (not talking to anyone personally) want to do is invest some money and take some profit or loss then it makes no sense to discuss about fundamentals, "steroids" or anything else related from such investment perspective as we both waste our time. Do not take this the wrong way, basically I really prefer talking what can we do together to make this project evolve to answering why should you buy a coin today and sell tomorrow I think you need more than just smart money. a dictionary might help. then you might understand the full meaning of investing. I don't know if you are as welcoming as you think. When support comes asking about your product to gauge if it is worth supporting or if it is just some d-bag that wants to take your work and money and run(which one of the best way to help gauge is to go in guns blazing asking questions), you usually don't tell them to f off cause you're not "smart money". Good luck. with your shit, better than thou demeanor you'll need it. |

Its the masternodes, its the craze right now. sooo, all I have as a reason to invest is it's a low coin supply with masternodes? One more reason - the dev promices completely new version, with completely new codebase, revamped, and with "masternodes on steroids" I personally cannot vouch for this, as I have no personal connections to the dev, so I don't know when or whether it will be available. I cannot recommend buying for that reason, but well... promice is promice... not more, not less You can go for it, or disregard it. Its the risk, and everyone decides it for himself - whether to belive or not. ok cool. this already has its own code and algo right? what are masternodes on steroids? it seems like it could be a great project. the name definitely sets it apart right off the bat. |
