Damn that really sucks. Sorry to hear about that. The name of the owner is Tristan D'Agosta:

He goes by the moniker Busoni, and you gotta love his Trust Rating. Probably why he stopped posting here:

For the record, they released about half of my money so far, but only after I added this gem to my support ticket:

"Can't you at least have the courtesy to explain to me why you are making my life a living hell?

You don't understand the depths of the direness of my financial problems right now. Why are you compounding them without explanation? What's going on over there? Federal investigation? Exit scam? Both??? Why not a PEEP from you guys despite the fact that your Support section says that you will notify customers within 24 hours after receiving a support ticket? That's obviously untrue and a lie and legally actionable. I've screenshotted all of your rules and I will demonstrate in court how you violated your own Terms of Service by refusing to release my funds or at least address the reasoning why you aren't releasing them."

So yes, threatening legal action is seemingly the only way to get their attention. They're still sitting on several hundred dollars worth of my coins though.

I have no idea why people choose waves in this list... if this votes exists ofcourse. But anyway some project is good like byteball and komodo.

Hi Graham,
I'm a very old BeeCoiner here despite my newbie account (someone stole my original one).
I'm experiencing a problem with my BeeCoin wallet. I have a wallet.dat file a bit big (almost 50MB) maybe because being staking for long time it's full of thousands and thousands of micro transactions.
Opening this wallet file my BeeCoin-qt app is working very laggly with high cpu usage, showing very often "not responding".
Anyway it seems to work properly staking the coins and receiving transactions for it.
With an empty wallet.dat file the BeeCoin-qt works smoothly.
I tried to recreate the wallet.dat file dumping the private keys (dumpprivkey) and importing them in a new wallet (importprivkey) but the result seems to be the same (the new wallet.dat file got also big).
Then I wanted to move all the coins to a new empty wallet transfering all the coins but I could see I cannot do it in one time (even counting off the fees).
Trying to move them little by little it seems it allows me to transfer (per time) approx half of the coins I have in my wallet.
Even the fact that some coins are staking and cannot be tranfered is making the things more complicated.
Is maybe there a problem in the wallet that cannot transfer all the coins to a new wallet?
I think it would be the best solution to have a slim wallet file with not so many transactions inside.
What can I do? Do you have any suggestion?
Thank you very much in advance for you precious support.
Ottavio.

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.

I think there was a beta test back in August but I don't know what happened with that. I asked how that was going back in October but never heard anything. I can't seem to log in to the curecoin.net forum or reset my password either but maybe there is some more info over there.

This thread is very helpful to understand how many people here definite of what an ideal coin.
