i wonder if it can reach 1k

I mean on minting number to equal btc it would be 4k

but 1k seems possible.

sold too many of mine at 100 damn...

thanks for the reply and voting reason.
3104  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: CRYPTO BULLION (CBX) | Inventor of PoSP! | 2017 Road-Map PUBLISHED! on: December 11, 2017, 11:33:02 PM
Morning all

As the snow falls here in England I was clearing out some old documents and I came across the following I (believe) I posted a while back - possibly as a PM, its still relevant and certainly something I would like to see added to the CBX roadmap - so here it is again, open for discussion:

Quote
There is a fair amount of ‘super wallet anxiety’ in the crypto world, the issue being amplified when dealing with a coin with a limited supply (such as CBX) as at any time (most likely when the price starts to rise) a super wallet owner could dump their collection on an exchange and walk off with everyone's money, crashing the price in the process. I would like to believe that the majority of CBX holders at this point are in it for the long haul, the trouble is there is no way (currently) of knowing what a super wallet owner is planning to do in the future...

To solve this I would like to propose the addition of a publicly verifiable (block-chain based) voluntary fund locking mechanism for individual wallet addresses. The idea being that someone who has a large (or small) collection of coins can selectively ‘time lock’ a portion of their total wallet’s contents for a defined period of time; the amount chosen is then totally un-spendable until the period chosen by the user expires. This period could be weeks, months or even years but provides a literally unbreakable public, verifiable contract that n coins cannot be moved for x time. New coins can be still be transferred into this ‘locked’ address but not removed - providing a secure ‘savings’ account that can still accumulate the 2% interest but not be moved or spent.

The key to all of of this is making it publicly verifiable on the block chain, so if you were a new investor in CBX you would look at the total supply but also (crucially) you would look at the total supply that was still liquid/unlocked. If you are a super wallet holder (lucky you!) you could lock your coins away for a set period to encourage investment by others and perhaps even get a slightly higher rate of interest on the locked coins than on free floating ones.

Apologies if you have seen this before BUT as I say I still think it could go a long way to alleviating super wallet anxiety if and when CBX is considered a long term / stable commodity that other might choose to invest in Smiley

FR

does this mean that when we start a masternode for cbx, like power up of steam dollars, and when we want to release from the masternode need to power down, time frame like in steemit also

I don't think the answer is forceable lock down of coins. I think the answer is increasing incentive to accumulate and hold and punishments for rapid dumping. I have already posted some nice ideas that I know some other huge projects are working on too. If we could implement these then we would be top 100 bound very quickly.
3105  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: December 11, 2017, 05:07:27 PM

No, they go to IOTA instead which is much "cheaper" at only $x.xx.... without caring that it is a coin that has delivered NOTHING of what is suppossed to do. Have anyone seen where is that code that would run on microcontrollers? I have been trying to find sources for Arduino to no avail.... well, in fact, no source for any microcontroller at all. Not even beta, or alpha, or a fucking draft.... NOTHING.

That's because people are idiots.  The same idiots don't buy bitcoin because they think they have to invest $13k to get one.  Same for the stock market.  You don't have to buy a full share of Google.
I don't think those are the kind of people that should be buying into crypto anyway.

Here is your link to receive 0.003 GB: https://byteball.org/openapp.html#textcoin?multiply-six-cactus-barrel-legal-few-express-gorilla-hotel-ball-extra-glue


Sorry to nitpick - but can you buy a fraction of a share? You cannot, at least in my country. The smallest unit you can buy is one share. So the fact that virtual currencies are almost infinitesimally divisible is an advantage.
Companies come out with bonus shares and share splits to overcome the disadvantage that you cannot buy a fraction of a share. This improves liquidity of those shares.

No.  The smallest unit you can purchase is 1 byte
1gb = 1million bytes.
1gb = $300
1million bytes = $300

So, how about you send me $0.0000003 and I will send you a byte?
Oh wait, you can't send me $0.0000003.

The problem is not cryptocurrency.  The problem is that your country/world currency is only divisible by 2 decimal places.

Same for the stock market.  You are NOT required to buy 1 share of Google.  You can by $50 worth of a google share.  Since people are simple idiots, they say google is too expensive and don't buy any, because in their small heads think they need to buy a $500 share.  You don't need to buy a full ounce of gold.... You can buy a quarter ounce or 10th of an ounce, and yet, those same idiots don't buy gold cause they believe they have to buy a $1300 ounce.


Here is your link to receive 0.002 GB: https://byteball.org/openapp.html#textcoin?wonder-runway-amateur-release-prevent-taxi-patch-average-gadget-runway-address-enforce


All very true but you must give them what they want. They don't want to pay 250 bucks per gbyte they want to pay 0.25 bucks per megabyte so why not let them have what they want so they dont support competing projects who will give them what they want.

I would say let them have  mega deal and just do it in bytes its obviously cheaper and better value so  why argue with the masses who want it.... let them have what they want will you.

Also - remember the paper wallet you sent me for 200 BTC can you resend a piccy with the priv key again.... seemed to misplaced it again.

Cheers mate...

In all seriousness though you sound like a nice guy... i just bitch slap my ups driver about.. fucking annoying pleb waking me up early to sign stuff.

To be super serious though.... let's have vote on the change to megabytes or even bytes ... this isn;t a dictatorship with one person holding all the cards and making all the decisions is it?

buy REAL projects not unproven untested vapor

the issue with vapor is that however good it sounds that before it is released there will be superior sounding vapor that will attract invesment away from the vapor you just invested in

Great list you've got there.
I'd like to include Electroneum (ETN) which is a fork of Monero.
Massive adoption potentials than any other crypto as the ordinary people (crypto newbies/smartphone users) are the target users.
The mobile phone "mining experience" too makes it difficult to ignore.


Fair enough please always propose new projects as per the format in the OP and that other successfully added projects have followed.
BUt sure if it meets the criteria's listed then it can be posted up.

Also for other posters here , thanks for posting.

Please though don't just say "x project" shouldn't be there because "y project " is better .. we need to prove that projects do or do not meet the criteria listed in the OP. THen we can add and remove projects as REAL projects.

Once we get a new codebase ...

I can report some limited progress. There is now a candidate implementation of the ledger transfer, a test tx embedded in the genesis block was successfully reported as an incoming tx by the wallet after importing the required privkey. I'm currently deep in the QtCreator debugger, trying to work out how to kickstart the new blockchain.

2017-12-11 01:12:26 block.nBits 1e03bbb8, getnexttargetrequired 1e0fffff
2017-12-11 01:12:26 ERROR: ContextualCheckBlock() : incorrect proof-of-work at height 0 (503561144), 1e03bbb8

The latest commit builds under Mint 18.2 and Ubuntu 17.10, existing BeecoinV2 privkeys should now be recognised on importprivkey, if anyone cares to check. I adjusted the Python base58 test fixture generator to use Bee prefix values and now just a bare handful of tests fail (as they also do for the Navcoin cloneparent).

Cheers

Graham



Thanks Graham that is good news I hope you get to the bottom of these bugs.

Without you offering to help bring beecoin back I think I had almost even given up hope on it.

I know the qt bit can give a few issues and several devs get held back at that point so don't worry I know you will get past that.

I am eager to get the beecoin show back on the road and put a lot of effort into seeing it become a popular project.

Be serious about your investment do real research and find the real undervalued projects.


1. 15k BTC - got to have one
2. 10K Bitbay - most undervalued project here
3. 5K blocknet
4. 10k - split between the other REAL projects here ... LTC sys etc
5. 5K on long term coins with proven durable teams working on a comeback - do they have a good roadmap and ticking the check list off.
6. 5K on real gambles with a good chance - long shots is what will make you rich ....... or poor.





3114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best decentralised exchange? on: December 10, 2017, 09:00:26 PM
blocknet will be the best one  but they are taking forever to polish it up for use although it works now
3115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which ALTS are the NEXT BIG THING? Add your Valid suggestion here now >>>>> POLL on: December 10, 2017, 08:31:36 PM
1. Paypie about to launch their product so not completed development yet but imminent. Might not meet specs for the vote yet because of this but regardless will soon be on this list. In a way they do have a platform already as it is an existing business so there is even a ready to go customer base once dev completed. Alpha/beta testing happening as we speak.

2. Obvious Use case? - Yes. Accounting and credit risk assessment

3. Not already in the top 10? - Nope, not even close.

4. Co founder of ETH, Anthony Di Iorio, on the actual team (not just an adviser!)

5. Currently only traded on ED so huge buying opportunities here. Another project focusing on product rather than multiple exchanges primarily.


EDIT: Not sure if PPP qualifies due to ICO/hardcap. Maybe someone else can clarify this?

Hardcaps that give sensible opportunity for all to invest and lasted like a month or greater with good advertising could be fine. So depends on that. If it passes that then please let us know when there is a working project that is functional at least with core functionality even if a few tweaks are still required.

Can you give me an example of what you mean

Like a link to the first post where there was explanation for the add to the poll?

Or you mean something else?
3117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: December 10, 2017, 07:35:44 PM
Agree with the unit change to MB. I think the leading zeros argument by Tony just doesn't hold (and if we go by that argument,  0.001GB or 0.0001GB give aways for cashbacks, via emails are just as confusing!). If we want real world adoption and easy to understand units (along with attracting some of the newer crypto adopters), we should switch to MB (and perhaps to KB at a later time). People who trade are careful enough to calculate the amounts before they trade, and aren't concerned about the leading zeros. And there are good examples - IOTA, Ripple, that have leading zeros and are still doing well.

Since majority of the community sees this as a much needed move, lets switch to MBs, or better yet, put this up for vote via the poll bot!

There was a discussion about this yesterday in #announcements channel on slack, for anyone interested.

Tony's argument for many things is weird. Like its a good idea to give most of the minting to competing projects for btc they don;t even own. Luckily Tony is a genius designer and coder so we can forgive these (by comparison) minor errors.

Come on let's get it into megabytes right away. I can't take more PM's telling me I must be insane telling them that 250 bucks is less than 5 bucks and they can and do check things out for themselves before jumping in.

Of course if it means all the noob investment goes to the cheaper 11BN projects because their exchange unit value is cheaper then that's fine.

Tony should listen to the community sometimes it would serve this project and him well.

Like any serious investor does not look at the btc value when conducting orders on an exchange, and extra zero is not going to go unnoticed.

Let's put it to the vote the fact BYTES is the ticker does not even have to change
3118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most undervalued alt coins? on: December 10, 2017, 07:15:23 PM
the most undervalued projects are in this order


bitbay
blocknet
byteball

these are 3 projects that are outstanding and way below comparitive market rate for such that they offer.


there are other great REAL projects so
3119  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [BEE2] [BEECOIN V2] POW X11/POS Hybrid - Now With CLIENT CHAT Feature! on: December 10, 2017, 05:13:17 PM
Just wanted to say a public thanks to those guys that offered ideas and help with the website ideas.

If we get things rolling I would love to see the community funds (7.9B for public use and 1 B for our dev) stake  the 7.9 B and with the coins produced we can use this continuous income for really rewarding those that are really helpful and a credit to beecoin.

Now I know some are hoping we can bring this back so they can dump their bags and leave. That is fair enough that is their right to do so. However I hope most of us will stick around and really help demonstrate we together can take "the fairest ever POW launch coin" and build a great community and codebase over tme around it.

We should not seek to reward those who do not help and just want to make money from pump and dumps. We should reward those that give their time and indeed effort to beecoin and those with proven loyalty to the project. I would love to see BEE become a long term project growing in both technical areas but even more so in its community. The community makes the coin. BTC isn't the coin with the best tech is it? no is not. However it has the largest following and active community.

I know we all got fucked over here with beecoin - I am shocked any of us are still here to be honest i mean we have been lead around in circles for years. Shame because it really was a fair start and sadly in part this is the reason for failure. The dev who launched it had no chance to gain any real share in the coin so had no motivation to develop it further. Then the rest as you know is history.

Once we get a new codebase and we get on our feet we must work together to bring beecoins community back here and build upon it.

We will (or i would like to if the community agrees) bring a new thread with new road map and a solid way for any persons here to earn a bee wage for weekly tasks that are beneficial to beecoin and its community)

I know many of you will become a lot more active once you see a new code base is ready and this will bring back many who are now focusing on other projects. 

Keep BEElieving ...... I just love the bee project name it can be used for so many things.
3120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: December 10, 2017, 10:46:20 AM
super impressive stuff about the email. one day people will look back on these prices and their minds are gonna be boggled.

totally agree about previous posts regarding unit bias. even if the weirdos here don't believe it's a thing, they should at least for freaking once in crypto history experiment with this and prove that it's real.

byteball has less than nothing to lose and a ton to gain by switching to mbyte or smaller. i truly can't believe not one single coin with this issue has ever done anything to address it. it rams home once again how unworldly crypto developers are.

the byteball community is still small enough to understand why it's happening and help make it happen.

Yup, the switch to a smaller unit is probably the single "feature" most needed at this time to gain mainstream adoption.

It is fucking crazy that Byteball is one of the most undervalued coins in comparison to how well it does deliver. But almost no new people want to buy such an "expensive" coin. Yeah, that's literally what they say... every single time someone asks me for advice on what coins would I recommend. They disregard the advice instantly after checking the price per "coin" -same thing happens with Bitcoin, but to a lesser extent "coz Bitcoin is Bitcoin"-.

No, they go to IOTA instead which is much "cheaper" at only $x.xx.... without caring that it is a coin that has delivered NOTHING of what is suppossed to do. Have anyone seen where is that code that would run on microcontrollers? I have been trying to find sources for Arduino to no avail.... well, in fact, no source for any microcontroller at all. Not even beta, or alpha, or a fucking draft.... NOTHING.

That said.... it's awesome what Byteball has already achieved technically wise. Keep up the great work!

I have to disagree with thoughts on the devs being unworldly. They have been anything but. Name one other project that actively updates their wallets according to features that people actually want, actually like and actually use. And at the same time seeks our merchants to form partnerships with. I think yes, the psychology of expensive coins makes people think several times before buying into it, but then we have the biggest coin of all Bitcoin who actually is no longer facing this problem. Look at all the orderbooks and recent orders matched. Almost all are in amounts of 0.01 BTC or less. And they are not calling it 10 Mbits or 10,000 bits... they're just saying 0.01 BTC or whatever.

But never mind our arguments, it is good for the devs to watch. We trust in them completely, and are happy with how far they have taken us.

There is NO doubt that reducing units to megabytes would be beneficial lets get on with this asap.

Never apply rules to bitcoin it does not work. BTC is a rule to itself.
