He is the alleged owner of a botnet that repeatedly threatened to 51% attack burst, then tried to take over as dev, then after being rejected said he was going to start his own coin (with hookers and blackjack), and then he's been quiet for a few weeks. It's all documented in this thread, if you want to trawl through the last 50 or 109 or 500 pages.

Thanks for the links. I'm thinking about trying to do another lottery or maybe ponzi or something.

Thanks Haitch and Irontiga.

Echoing Beoga's questions, is there any guide, code examples, etc.? Or is it just use the source, Luke?

Any list of existing assets or easy way to see them?

I'm pretty sure you can just have different conf files, and specify which conf file to use when you launch/relaunch.

What's up with IRC channel being invite only now? It's not like anyone ever said anything in there anyway...

You would only use the dot-slash on linux. It sounds like you're using windows, where you would use a backslash or nothing. Try '.\siad --help' or just 'siad --help'.

Afaik, no. You'd have to shut wallet down, edit conf file to specify different algo, and then relaunch it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Is there any quotes from Cryptsy or Poloniex people saying they've reviewed the source code? Or do they just run it in a VM and don't give a fuck?

Got some cheap on Cryptsy, but considering just dumping it cause Crypsty wallet is constantly borked, and I don't want to install closed source shit on my comps anyway.

I'm running my own p2pool node atm. I posted some instructions on how to set one up with unitus merge mining here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1121974.msg12323394#msg12323394

If you really want I guess I could open up a port on my router and make it public, but you'll get better performance running your own node anyway.

Is bearwhale supposed to be an omen regarding the future price of bitcrystals?

I was wondering about atomic transactions of assets. I believe burst and qora exchanged/traded coins across blockchains, is it possible to do the same with assets: trade x amount of some qora for y amount of burst, or vice versa, or trade qora assets for burst assets?

Any links to info about the atomic transactions already performed or other info is appreciated. Thanks!

Small update.

Removed the average block time as that was totally empty/question marks. I was thinking it would be cool to add a row for number of active nodes, but after looking into it for ten or fifteen minutes, that would have been all question marks too. I thought about adding number of wallets/accounts, but that seems a poor measure, as someone can programatically create thousands in a few minutes (for instance see wallets created on 10 Sept here: http://burstcoin.biz/ ).

Also, added some unique features for NEM and NXT.

BN, sorry, but deleted my TALK wallet many moons ago. You did give me an idea though, maybe if I can ever pick just one 2.0 system, then I'll create a BTCtalk asset to distribute

I love Monero as much as the next trollero, but it seems as if some/all of these issues may be solved/solvable.

I never mined BURST, I just like the idea of a NXT clone with a quasi-PoW distribution, so I only sync my wallet occasionally.

Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you, but this is pretty basic stuff, and you do purport to be a kind of high level BURST user running a pool and issuing assets and stuff.

0+0 means there are 0 BURST included as transactions in the block with 0 BURST in fees. 1+1 would mean that there is 1 BURST in the block with 1 BURST in tx fees.

If you see 0+0 more frequently, then yes, that means there are fewer transactions on the network.

I wish I could buy some crazy pills with BURST, did someone list them on the marketplace?

Afaik this is not possible. Once you broadcast a transaction and other nodes rebroadcast it, there's no way to put the genie back into the bottle, so to speak. Maybe there could be a way to broadcast to the network "please remove this tx from your mempool" and you would have to sign the message with the address you sent the coins from to prove you control it, but this would be a major undertaking I think.

Sgminer v5.1 works fine for qubit. I'm mining myriadcoin and merge mining unitus right now. Can you post your whole conf file or bat file that you're launching with? I'm guessing you just have some syntax wrong and it's shutting down. If you actually open a cmd window and run it you might be able to catch error, also.

Just looked through KhalDrago's post history to see which coins he supports, but it's practically all comments calling other coins shit/scam/clone/etc. Apparently the only coin he supports is Bitcoin-XT, which, I'm not anti-XT at all, but, way to pick em.

Back to topic, I think Myriad's approach is much better, especially with their recent fork to make sha and scrypt algos merge-mineable. Vert's approach of constantly changing/adjusting algo depends on a lot of moving parts. I think at some point the hope is that the ecosystem becomes big enough that people can just set it and forget it, but that's not possible if you're constantly hardforking to change/adjust algo. Obviously that's not an issue at this point for either coin, since the communities/ecosystems are relatively small and both can push hardforks through, but look at Bitcoin and the surrounding drama over block size limit now; if a coin actually becomes successful, I don't think constantly hardforking is really a reasonable approach.

I don't even load the wallet more than once every few months at most, but I'm 99% sure amount + fee represents the amount of burst being transferred in that block, fee is the total amount of fees the miner would collect, and # TX is the number of transactions in that block. Aren't you supposed to be like a BURST expert, Elmit? How the hell do you not know this? Is this a trick question? Am I taking crazy pills right now?!

You keep comparing yourself to Ripple, but Ripple labs has a long line of investors, including Andreessen Horowitz and Google, a board of directors, a whole bunch of job listings on their career page of their website, etc. You don't even have a website, afaik. Ripple also introduced a completely new consensus protocol. You just made a clone coin with a huge premine. I'm not a fan of Ripple, but at least they appear legitimate, have a physical location for their company, and have introduced a novel technology along with their giant premine. You just have some top secret innovation that you won't say a word about, some unknown business partners, and you yourself are an unknown quantity with no public presence. I think you're comparing apples and oranges, or more precisely, banking tokens and shitcoins.
