The block time of 120 seconds (2 minutes) is the target time. There will be variance either side of that number depending on the luck of the various pools. Over time however the average time to find a block should be very close to 2 minutes.

Quick question, can I still use the beta wallet for mining? Or does the transfer from the mining pool to the wallet also not work? Is the pending balance "lost", or can I just wait for the transfers to be implemented?

Thanks

Hello all,

I'm new to cryptocurrency and after spending so much time reading through these forums, I think it's finally time to join in and since Dero has caught my attention the most, I am making my first post here to express my support of this project.

I'm fairly conservative when it comes to things like participating in crypto and alt currency projects, but I really believe in the premise and potential of the Dero and my confidence in the development team has led me to try mining for the very first time.  I don't have access to my better desktop at the moment which would be more suited, but because the Dero environment can scale down to suit the machine that I'm currently using, I can still participate.  I might only be chipping away, but every chip is both progress and an opportunity to learn more.  After all, since I'm on my computer already, then I might as well give Dero a try because what's there to lose?

That said, another member here made a comment about the value of our developer team's willingness to communicate and I can't stress my agreement on the matter enough.  It's important.  It really, really is and I say this because I have seen firsthand how communication can effect a company's health which then affects customer / consumer confidence.

I work in the administration department for my company which is in the business of sales (completely unrelated to alt currency) and because of it, I have access to company reports which include metrics for customer and consumer satisfaction.

Better communication between the company and its customers and consumers = better consumer confidence and company health... which equals to better real-time and future-projected metric scores... which equals to improved confidence in investors and potential customers and current consumers... which equals to improved company health... and the cycle continues.

In other words, there's an undeniable positive correlation between customer service and support and customer and consumer satisfaction and similarly, there's an undeniable positive correlation between customer and consumer satisfaction and company health.

Dero may not be a big thing yet, but if the communication (and other things) continues to be as consistent and positive as it has been since the start of the project, then there's the promise of long-term satisfaction and health for everyone who's involved. The fact that there's a positive community building up around the project is very encouraging.

So, as someone who's interested in the long-term and because I believe in not just the premise of Dero, but also the people involved, I'm in.

Thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to seeing the Dero project grow.

nothing change. i also rescan bc.  

i have some problem with macos wallet.
i'm on macos 10.13.3, derod was sync with the last block and dero-wallet-cli too.
when i try to send dero
transfer dERokPan5wMCjQCCUTZQakNLqgDPQCnMfUdTH5fLWoBAg3JnU79jNkFarUVGqwJc6R5NW2qLE5iuocm SHgQWgHop1hv7nBsVYT 10 6a274391315fa82d567fd98269125328242e25c34285c3dd14f95d9ac8d9bb58

no message return, no balance change....

any suggestion?

So stock exchange still disable withdraw???

ehhhhh... I was going to buy some of this, I even sent the BTC to stock.exchange and was waiting for it to confirm... and then I noticed DERO withdrawals are disabled... Is there a reason given or an ETA?... I'm think I'm just withdraw my BTC as soon as it confirms now instead of buying.. I'm not a fan of leaving my coins on third tier exchanges like stocks.exchange...

Is there a core technical or product advantage that is likely to lead to competitive differentiation?

how can i send coins to another wallet? Which command should i write?

Hey dev, would you be willing to switch over the official chat from slack to Discord?  Slack is far less user friendly and extremely vulnerable to spammers.  Generally Discord is a lot more convenient in many ways, and i think you'll find it more convenient for the dev team as well.

alreadychecked that...

Build from current guthub.

Started with no special options, but the --add-priority-node list from the forum.

Me too... I want to build a new rig to dedicate it 24/7 to the Dero project... and already invested in some Dero on Stock Exchange...
It looks a good coin and a good project with a cute community

I don't know the answer to your question but through experience, the average hashrate I have seen is around 5MH pretty stable. There are spikes up to 9MH or so every once in a while (guessing nicehash since it doesn't remain that high).

Hope that helps in some way.

Here's an anecdote about why I think Dero is important and exciting as a cryptocurrency.

I was visiting a friend in Munich over this past weekend.  I was trying to convince him to invest in the crypto space but he won't (long story: refuses despite in many ways fitting the ideal "profile" of an early investor).  We were walking into the underground (U-bahn) system there and as many of your probably know, Germany uses an "honour" system with its public transport: there are no turnstiles, ticket inspectors standing at gates, etc.  You buy your own ticket, validate it yourself, and carry it with you as you freely use the system (bus, tram, underground/metro, and suburban train).   If you don't do this you are "schwarz fahren", 'travelling black',  and carry the risk of being busted by an undercover ticket agent and fined.  But in Germany in general rules-based compliance is high among the public (German businesses know this: compliance costs are low compared to other countries) and there are relatively few undercover agents (in all my years of visiting and once for a year living in Germany I have only encountered these agents a tiny handful of times).

The system works, but despite this every now and then (in Munich at least) there is talk of introducing a turnstile system, like you have in London, but the idea never really goes anywhere.  Clearly though there is some concern about compliance and its costs, and the costs to the system of those people who use the public transport system without paying.

I remarked to my friend that I could imagine a "smart card" system, where you buy a card and top it up, or get billed after the fact (like with a mobile telephone account), and you only need to carry this card when you use the system.  There would be various sensors at entries and exists, and the system would "know" when you rode the system without paying, and you would either get apprehended as you exited a station (or a bus/tram) if you had no card, or your account would automatically be billed as needed.  People who kept their account in good standing would never have to worry or even think about the process.  There would be various discounts for students, retired people, low-income people, just as you have now.  You could be billed per use, or buy a pass, and so on.  This "smart card" system would preserve the convenience and friendliness of the current system (no turnstiles), while cutting compliance costs even further.

My friend pointed out that this would be a privacy nightmare: the system (or the government, etc) would be able to track everyone and know exactly the locations of people, their travelling habits, and so on.  (An anathema to Germans, in particular.)  I immediately shouted: "Bingo: blockchain!".  A smart contracts system implemented on an obfuscated blockchain could solve this problem.  The system could validate that users had paid for their use of the system, and deduct their account accordingly, without knowing where the entry and exit points, or their times, etc, were (except when somebody travelled without a smart card at all, of course).  More importantly, a properly-educated public would know this and have faith that they could use such a smart charging system without having their privacy compromised at all.  Indeed, using the smart card system would guarantee their privacy - it is those who tried to travel without paying who would have their privacy compromised (they would get caught).

This is just one example of a potential application of a Dero-type blockchain, that - as I see it - none of the other cryptocurrencies can provide.  I think there are tons and tons of examples like this.  We really do need a smart contracts system on an obfuscated blockchain.  It is a very obvious next step for the crypto space to take, and it is why I am excited about the Dero project.  It also needs to be a project that is properly managed, which means properly decentralised, and I think the Dero developers have the vision behind the project on that side too, at least from what I have been able to see.

There are of course versions of the smart card system already in use in public transport systems, e.g. in London.  However as far as I know the system is always elective - you can choose a less convenient alternative (and turnstiles are very much used in London) partly because of the privacy issues; you have to choose to give up your privacy in exchange for the convenience of the electronic system, like so much of the high-tech space these days (google/facebook, anyone?).   Correct me if I'm wrong, people, but smart contracts over an obfuscated blockchain eliminates this convenience/privacy tradeoff.  This is the point of Dero as I see it.  The world very much needs it.  

Keep up the good work!

So will DERO's smart contract guarantee the privacy of its users? But we'll have access to the contract, correct?
