That's weird. coinmarketcap website link works fine for me

Congrats David!
BitBay over 1 million market cap!
This is just the beginning!

We've been having sync issues because of seed node issues. David will have a new mini update for that very reason within the next few days.

Have you created an updated add node conf file?
I just pinged the network with a getpeerinfo command
create a text document

copy and paste in text document like notepad (these are the latest ip addresses I got from the console's getpeerinfo command):

server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
addnode=85.25.146.74
addnode=104.237.2.192
addnode=45.56.109.7
addnode=91.121.217.70
addnode=159.203.184.167
addnode=96.232.82.36
addnode=108.61.10.90
addnode=104.172.24.79


When you 'save as' the text document (if you are using notepad), simply change the 'save as type' to All Files and name the file bitbay.conf
Now move that file to your bitbay user/>username</appdata/roaming/BitBay folder

And reload the qt program

He's not unhappy. He's saying he's not capable of buying a lot because of his budget.

@formajocoto - anything you buy now at this price WILL be a lot after the peg.

Awesome news! Can't wait to read it!

If we can just get polo to understand the potential perks that BitBay can provide them in the future.

- Safely cold stake investors' coins as a mining pool for the sake of maximizing stake profits from POS 3.0
   This could create all sorts of possibilities:
       - Futures for cold staking contracts, for example:
            - An investor could make an 'x' amount of return guaranteed if he locks his coins for 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, etc.
                 - Tracking the amount of coins locked in futures mining would create speculation amongst traders as they near maturity.
            - Don't forget that the peg will create a futures market separate from the mining futures market.
                 - So now you have multiple futures markets to track and speculate on upon maturity of contracts.
       - After the peg is implemented, the exchange could use BitBay as a leveraging tool.
            - Loaners wouldn't have to deal with the hassle of depositing USD for leveraging.
            - Now the incentives for loaners (compared to USD loaners) would be even more advantageous as they would profit from stake reward bonuses along with leverage interest fees.
       - With the exchange making so much money, they could begin creating an insurance fund for fraud protection. The sooner they start the sooner it grows in size - as it could gain interest from cold staking in a separate cold wallet!
            - With a substantial insurance fund, more and more big time investors will catch wind.
            - Investors will be willing to extend their futures mining contracts, thus removing even more liquidity and create more demand!!

All of this is just to try to put in perspective of what an exchange can potentially do with BitBay, let alone users can do with the actual client. The beauty of BitBay is that it finally provides the tools  for exchanges to implement multi-sig technology with minimal 'retro-fitting'. Once exchanges jump on board with the security of multi-sig, they will be wondering why they didn't start using it sooner!

Thanks Aidia.

Yeah looks like we've got some accumulators active.
I hope they see the real potential in the rolling peg.
The value of the peg has yet to be determined, but even if it was simply set at 1 penny per coin, that's 14 times the current price.
It's a no brainer... no matter what happens in between now and the peg release, your investment will be a guaranteed winner if you wait till after the peg to sell.

BitBay awarded Biggest Gain advertising banner on Bittrex!!

Guys this is going to be huge; it's going to fix one of the biggest hurdles in crypto!
Now it's just a matter of creating a practical system for physical crypto for those who don't have direct access to computers.
And with DDE, trust is no longer an issue with the physical issuance of crypto!
I'm already brainstorming on setting up prepaid debit cards in crypto through the BitBay marketplace. With DDE it doesn't matter if the issuer knows your private key, they lose their escrow if they botch their end of the bargain!

Wow! Getting a couple seed nodes on this action would be great!

I'm confused. How do one sign a btc message from their account? I don't think I had any associated bitcoin address associated with my account.
If I try to log-in to my old account it blocks me and then bans my IP and tells me to contact a theymos email address and I get no response


I found this post but I don't understand how to do it since I don't have a bitcoin address associated

Thanks Neo!

Loving this new volume on Bittrex.
People must be catching on that we have a huge update coming around Christmas.

Wow so I just realized...
Trumps election should help BitBay out a lot!
Looks like he's is going to stick to his word on rewritting international trade agreements.
The downfall of this is that it will create a spike in the price of goods made overseas and shipped to USA.
This is going to create a massive demand for merchants and their clientele to search for more cost effective ways of trading!
So cutting out the middlemen is a must since it's finally possible with DDE!

This should cause online retailers to lose sales, forcing reassessment of their profit taking in order to try to maintain volume.
Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, Etsy, etc., will all suffer and have to lower their quality of service in order to attempt to maintain their investor's current profit margin.

This could be huge!! If I didn't have all my money in crypto, I'd probably be shorting these stocks right now or at least wait until after Christmas sales figures.

The word is that the Saudi's were big supporters of the pipeline through Syria because they want ownership.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-secret-stupid-saudi-us-deal-on-syria/5410130

Now that Clinton lost the election, the Saudis just wasted millions and all their pull controlling our government's take down of Syria's Assad.

Trump knows what's really going down in Syria. Assad knows this and is ready to reopen comms with the US.
https://www.rt.com/news/367299-assad-adviser-us-contacts/

And the Saudi's new king seems to have  a bad spending habit  
With the price of oil at a shit level and a massive oil discovery in West Texas, USA,  I don't think he needs to be buying a 500 million dollar yacht

So there is a massive amount of 'butt hurt' going on in the global elite.
Everyone of my customers I talk to are at a loss about the stock and fiat markets, it's all land and gold for them.
Leaving the avenue ripe for the inevitable adoption of crypto.

Yeah this trade war is the real deal!!!

China recently threatened to stop making iphones if Trump imposed "FAIRER" trade agreements.

So now Apple is fighting back!!
http://www.northcrane.com/2016/11/17/it-is-happening-apple-in-talks-of-moving-manufacturing-to-the-usa/


The sad part is that the US owes China a couple trillion.
So them stirring the pot doesn't help them either way - it's a 'catch 22' for them.

If Trump brings manufacturing back to America, China loses.

If China tries to devalue the dollar, and impeded manufacturing, they lose as well!

It's related to this thread because the struggle for the US petro dollar to remain king has been in question for quite a while now. And in my opinion now that Trump was elected the Saudis and the Chinese are in full revolt and could be speeding up the process.

This strengthens crypto because any sort of disruption in fiat stability causes investors (especially Chinese) to seek safe alternatives. In my opinion, bitcoin is currently trying to break through some heavy resistance levels because of this. If/once it does, I don't think we will ever see this price range again for BTC - hence why I'm going to invest more in crypto. I think BTC is going to break 800 USD soon.

BitBay will soon have an unprecedented price stability feature, so all of this is relevant to BitBay because if the Chinese and Saudis are successful at 'de-throning' the USD as king, then in my opinion all fiat will go full retard in terms of price stability and BTC will become even more volatile. People will be looking for stability with hedging tools.

Interesting times ahead.

Saudi's and China are dumping US treasuries.
Looks like I'm going to try to convert more USD to crypto .

Let the political war games begin!!

I see that Overstock has vest heavily into their T0 platform.

I don't know enough about it, but I'm willing to bet it's based on profit and based on trust of a 3rd party.

So once that hurdle is overcome, we should have smooth sailing. Natural law of profitability will overtake it. If a trader can buy and sell for free over a fee based exchange, they will!

Wow so I'm starting to wake up more and more to the possibilities with Wallstreet opening up to trading stocks on the blockchain.

Overstock will lead the way...
http://www.coindesk.com/overstocks-blockchain-stock-will-begin-trading-december/

So this should create all sorts of advantages for stockmarket traders.
1) Slippage potentially minimized
2) Commission fee's minimized
3) Naked short selling minimized

Yet what's really caught my interest is how the ownership of stock shares will be stored.
I mean it shouldn't be any different than how a typical cryptocurrency stores it's values right? The owner actually holds in possession of the stocks on his blockchain wallet.
If it isn't set up that way yet for Overstock, I'm sure it eventually will.
This will cause a huge decline in brokerage houses that 'hold' your portfolio in their 'middleman' possession, and rightfully so... It's 'yours' after all!

So point being is that I don't see why we won't have a future where traders trade their shares like crypto currently does with exchanges like bittrex and polo.

Yet here's the kicker, with Halo, now David can add a whole new paradigm to the equation.
Traders will be able to trade freely and trustlessly any stock they want for any stock, fiat, or token of value they own.
I don't see exchanges like polo or bittrex being able to add stocks into their list of markets anytime soon. The existing brokerage houses of wall street will fight tooth and nail over that. They will buy up the SEC so fast with red tape that I just don't see it possible in any quick manner.
Yet with BitBay, it's decentralized, and can't be regulated since it's not a business and especially because it's not for profit.

So even though BitBay doesn't have the current crypto traders on board realizing that they can trustlessly buy and sell any crypto for any crypto without having to go through a 3rd party escrow or exchange, I think that wall street waking up will be a different story.
For example, if Mutual fund A wants to liquidate their 5% ownership of stock XYZ (for what ever reason) they could somewhat use their same chatbox channels to spread the word and once they find a buyer, they could literally sell securely through BitBay at a 0% slippage and commission fee.

The possibilities are endless! Since all this will be after the peg, BitBay will not only turn into a great hedging tool, but also a leveraging tool as well. And again, without having to front a 3rd party brokerage house the funds!

Man I can't wait to watch how Overstocks experiment works out in December!

Well they ought to stop everything they are doing and focus first and foremost on creating an actual marketable name.
