@Everyone

We are happy to present you with:
>>>Standalone Fully-Featured Windows Client<<<

Mac and Linux will follow suite in the next few days then we will work on finishing the messaging and mining.
Thank you all very much!

Awesome application!  Quick and easy - this project is getting better and better by the day Smiley

...but what happens when the next update comes out?  Or, say, five updates from now - will we have to download a patch to patch the patcher that patches this patch?  Tongue

Just downloaded the wallet - will it begin mining automatically (given the checkbox is...checked)?  Like the minimalistic look of the wallet. Posting to watch this for future reference Smiley

Yes, the checkbox is checked on startup as long as it's checked it will be good.


Thanks...


What's the best way to transfer my block rewards?  I'm on a remote computer & would like to transfer my info home...just copy my wallet.dat?

@Dev, Installed the new v8.4.2 client - but where did my previous Espers go?

Importing my private keys (dumped in the previous version) gives the error: Invalid private key (code -5).

Did you backup ur wallet b4 u installed the new client? Or are u saying u just tried to use the private keys from V1 in the V2 wallet?

found a way to circumnavigate the situation, not that difficult. so no facepalm - if anyone encounters the same issue (or trying to use wallet.dat backup from V1 into V2), have fun and good luck!

i have backup of the wallet.dat and the private keys.
but yes - i tried to use/import the private keys from V1 (v8.0.5) into the V2 (or v8.4.2).

wait...are you going to share with us the details of what happened, and how you solved the problem?  You can't just leave us hanging with a 'good luck'  Angry

This has got to be the strangest idea for an altcoin...pretty weak selling point 'spreading awareness and reducing road rage' with crypto??  How is that going to happen...


Most people don't even believe in crypto.  Let's say someone cuts you off and gives you the finger, what are you gonna do - roll down your window and yell, 'Hey buddy, drive safer and you could gain ERBcoins!' then drive off?

But you also say you're promoting other coins...

The whitepaper reads:

"Sometimes it is the car on the right that 
is to blame. I suppose it is part of the human competitive nature, as I have caught myself 
unconsciously doing the same thing. "


WTF is this? A diary?

CURRENT AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PLANS:

"There are also several other additional 
use cases we are working towards for ERB, which will be disclosed upon coming to consensus within 
the organization on how best to implement it. Unfortunately, we cannot disclose any details at this 
time"


dude...this isn't a whitepaper!

Paper wallets coming soon Smiley




HI!

Do you have any video lesson explaining how mine to pos?

The new portfolio POS option is not available.

Settings -> Unlock wallet -> Enter password for staking only

Doesn't that work?

LG G3

I've had the phone for a few years now, still up to date with the latest software & runs the latest games at optimal speeds.

Best feature is the camera - keeps outperforming every iteration of iPhone (crappiest overpriced piece of closed source running phone to exist) apple poops out.

On top of that, modding the phone is like getting a new one every time you flash it!
311  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Bitland - ICO - Decentralized Land Registry on: September 17, 2016, 07:24:52 AM
After doing some research, there still does not seem to be any adequate proof as to how BitLand can solve the country's land registration issues.

Some reading:

Land Title Registration. The Ghanaian Experience
Registering Property in Ghana
ghana's land administration at a crossroads - Focus on Land
Creating Property Rights: Land Banks in Ghana

Now for the nitpicking (bear with me, no ill wishes here)


What is BitLand?

BitLand operates to address the problem of insecure land tenure, bring confidence of investment to emerging markets, and unlock land wealth stagnating due to inefficient legacy systems. The focus is on creating an effective virtual land registry utilizing blockchain technology, spearheading collaborative solution implementation, and jump starting a fully transparent ecosystem for all users. We aim to allow individuals and organizations to survey land, manage deeds and titles, perform applicable transactions, and then record the information on the blockchain.    



Care to explain...how?  Spearheading collaborative solution implementation? So...team building exercises?  Tongue Managing deeds and titles through a blockchain might not go by too well with people whom already have a system in place, not to mention when said system is corrupt and violent in many areas.

Why Ghana?

Land registration in Ghana has historically been cumbersome and disorganized. As a result, thousands of titles remain unregistered and land conflicts are rife. Of the 42,000 applications for land registration submitted between 1986 and 2006, less than 30 percent were registered. Land conflicts arise as claimants take advantage of the poorly coordinated system and register titles without other claimants’ knowledge. The adjudication system for conflicts is weak, courts are overwhelmed, and decisions are poorly enforced.

Since colonial times, Ghana’s land sector has suffered from splintered institutional functions and an underdeveloped land registration system. But, the government and international donors are beginning to address these challenges through legal reforms and more systematic land registration.

As of January 2011, several projects are seeking to strengthen the land sector in Ghana and formalize tenure. These include: the Government of Ghana’s Land Administration Project (LAP), which is supported by the World Bank; the Millennium Development Authority’s Land Tenure Facilitation Activity supported by the US; and private sector programs led by Medeem LLC as well as the Micro-Mortgage and Land Titling Project led by Opportunity International and International Land Systems (ILS).

Under the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA), Ghana is implementing a pilot project in peri-urban Accra to title and register land. The ten-step process begins with a parcel inventory and involves verification by landowners, and a time for public scrutiny. It takes 31 days for 100 parcels and costs about $200-$250 per registered parcel. To date, MiDA has issued and registered 270 land titles using this process.

It is uncertain how the Government of Ghana would scale-up projects nationwide. Challenges persist in terms of making the process simple, efficient and cost effective for both landholders and land administration authorities. Unless the “costs” associated with land registration are sufficiently low vis-a-vis the benefits perceived by landholders, land registration records can rapidly become obsolete, jeopardizing the investments made to reform registration systems.

The Ghanaian government, World Bank, and other agencies have been battling the issue of insecure land tenure with limited to moderate success with collective focus since 2003. Phase I of the Land Administration Project ended in 2010 and Phase II is scheduled to run through 2017. Both phases of the project were/are plagued with the same issues as mentioned in the above excerpt. Although these efforts have been hampered, Ghana has posted exemplary GDP gains over the last decade while facing the identified problems.  

While this information is interesting, where does 'bitland' fit in to all of this, and how will it specifically solve these problems?  Emphasis on the 'specific' - How can Bitland solve these disputes better than the plan laid out by MiDA?


BitLand Ghana

BitLand Ghana is the home of the pilot program for BitLand. It is the NGO which has been operating in Kumasi, Ghana and the surrounding communities for the past 2 years. To date, it has completed public out-reach, crypto-currency/blockchain seminars, and land rights informational road-shows in 28 communities in preparation for the launch of BitLand beginning its main operation. Bitland is partnered with Openledger which allows the company to secure its blockchain infrastructure.At the end state, the BitLand system provides the ability to reduce fraud and increase efficiency to the mortgage lending process. Banks cannot issue mortgages on land that is unregistered. The utilization of an open, decentralized, and transparent ledger will effectively unlock significant amounts of land to be used for equity purposes that previously could not be touched. In Africa, roughly ninety percent of rural areas are unlisted and unregistered. As the project in Ghana matures, we will look to expand the reach of BitLand across the African continent and abroad. By adding infrastructure in more developing countries, BitLand has the potential to unlock massive volumes of capital and resources.  

If these properties are unlisted and unregistered, what legal right would prevent big banks/government from stepping in and seizing everything under the premise that 'blockchain ledgers' aren't adequate proof of ownership? 

How does a blockchain ledger even 'unlock' previously untouchable land, if it is already unlisted & unregistered?


The Crowdsale

30 million Cadastrals were created in one block. 21 million Cadastrals will be sold during the ICO hosted by Crypto Currency Exchange Denmark(CCEDK). The remaining 9 million is allotted for distribution over 99 years for various purposes. At the completion of phase two of the crowd sale, all unsold Cadastrals will be added to the reserve and all purchased Cadastrals will be released for immediate trade. The funds raised will be apportioned directly to laying the operational infrastructure in Ghana. Future use of the token will be to register land titles, settle disputes, sell land, purchase property, and issue microloans for residential/commercial/industrial development. 20% of the network profit will be utilized to support the tokens on the open market. The Bitland reserve will hold multiple denominations of currencies, commodities, and will always keep a portion of currency from any country in which BitLand has a presence as part of the basket. Ghana is only the beginning.


These 'cadastrals' - who'd be accepting this crypto in exchange for selling all this 'unregistered' land?  Does this mean only Ghanaians, or those whom successfully gain citizenship can actually spend them on properties? Seems like the only real outcome here is that all funds raised will be used to manipulate the market price...

Apologies if this post seems a bit crass, but they are all legitimate questions - would love to hear a hypothetical use case.  The idea is brilliant, but seems like a project of such scale would require not only a team of developers, but a popular political party, a few regional militias - possibly an entire army, and some overseas construction companies....

Awaiting a response, thanks in advance Smiley

You should focus on completing your assignment above all else. Is 'profiting'  a requirement of this project? Just buy a $5 USB miner and prove to the teacher/class that you know how to do it...worry about actual profits another time, because that'll cost you a lot of money up front, with very slow returns.

https://yobit.net/en/trade/CSMIC/BTC
price 395 satoshi not 1000 satoshi?

OP is saying we can profit if we buy now under 1000sat, and once he gets .5btc he'll start an ICO on yobit @ 1000sat per CSMIC

but how is that going to happen if the coin is already listed?

I'm guessing OP isn't gonna shut down this market after .5btc?

318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: BEWARE of POLONIEX BTC WITHDRAWS on: September 12, 2016, 03:46:56 AM
I have been using Poloniex for years, and only ran in to trouble with them once.


Last year, OUT OF NOWHERE, my account was locked.  Couldn't trade or withdraw my funds.  I filed a support ticket (through my email that I log in to Poloniex with) and they claimed my account had suspicious activity, as if someone was trying to get into my account (despite me not sharing my details with anyone).

What still bugs me, is that they would only unlock my account if I submitted my personal information to them - as if this would prove the account was mine.  I had given them nothing prior to this, so there was no information they could cross-check my requested information against.  Which means if I really was a hacker, using my compromised account, I could have just submitted fake information to them, and they'd hand over my entire account without batting an eyelash.

They wouldn't give me any information about why they locked my account, nor a response to what I posted above.  NO logic behind their actions whatsoever...

...I still trade (lightly, obviously) there, but it should be general knowledge by now that if you can store your funds off exchanges, STORE YOUR FUNDS OFF EXCHANGES.  Cold wallets, paper wallets, trezors, anything.  You never know when a 'reputable' exchange will screw you over, when they'll get 'hacked' and run to China with your money, or the like...stay safe Smiley

Awesome!  Been looking for a way to get into EXCL.

Not trying to be stingy or anything, as I'm not only new to this coin but taking part in the campaign regardless - but aren't these rewards a bit light when taking into account the current price of EXCL?  If not a higher number of coin rewards, any way to earn more through additional actions (be it twitter or other social media)?

Last question - any spreadsheet or official confirmation list to let us whom qualify keep tabs on our campaign information?

Just signed up, best of luck to everyone!

Let me know how I can help out - if you need some guides for the site, writing articles is my strong point; let me know if there are any other areas lacking in content as well.

(sorry if I overlooked a response to my last post, but how will the swap affect our coins being held @ cryptopia?)
