To try to limit the pow rewards and have the POS get the most rewards, what size block would you recommend 5000 coin blocks?

Vegas

5% - 10% of the stake should automatically send to the dev fund address as a minimum fixed size

Crestington I couldn't discern upthread if you were just setting me up to attack me. I see that I think you are sincere. I agree I shouldn't be doing the PR dialogue with users. There was a time when I was younger and more idealistic, when I was better suited for that. Life has beat me down and I am not so cheerful all the time (years of chronic physical pain and struggle). Maybe if my M.S. remains in remission, then some of my former passions for interacting with people and making them happy will return.

Does it really matter why I choose to do what I do with my personal matters?

I created ion.cash username, so it will be clear the distinction between official posts for that effort to develop a coin versus anything I might post that is my personal commentary on divergent topics.

Anonymint was closed by Theymos on my request (because I didn't think of the idea of just scrambling my password, apologies to Theymos) to try to discipline myself to stop wasting so much time posting in forums.

I came back after some weeks hiatus. I tried a few more times to quit the forum by scrambling my passwords. Finally with this current username, I started to gain some traction of followers who were starting to observe that my predictions had been coming to fruition. Thus I decided not to change it even though it was a poor choice for a user name.

I believe the controlling group is fairly certain it will distribute some coins via trickle ICOs post launch as specific development assignments are tasked to build the ecosystem. And it will distribute the rest of the coins via proof-of-work to the users of the coin. Mining will be unprofitable if we achieve that technical design goal. Only users that send transactions or who don't count their insignificant electricity cost will mine.

Project costs will be as high as we can find ecosystem projects to fund and the market cap can bear. Because that is a virtuous upward spiral.

I assume all these specifics will be set by launch.


Are you deaf, dumb, and blind? Did I not tell you we had nearly $75,000 of angel funding lined up and ready to go. We haven't availed of it but it is there. And I haven't even included my friend rpietila in that.

I told you that the latest plan is trickle ICO after launch for continued funding.

Miners won't be selling. They will be spending the coins in the ecosystem, driving the velocity of money higher, driving the prices of the coin higher.

Did I mention I am going to kick your ass. And you should just watch and learn some new tricks.


How I spend my personal funds is none of your business.

Why the fuck are you trying to control my life? What is wrong you people?


You were told earlier in the same post and that was a test of your reading comprehension.


Did I not write already that the Smoothie's libel is accusing me of being a scammer and having no evidence that I am a scammer.

Have I not explained to you that I am not promoting any coin. I am here in the Altcoin Discussion forum and was discussing the idea for a name of the coin I am in development on and soliciting discussion on the development and potential developers. This is a normal mode of open source development.

Open source development is not scamming.

You guys have some serious retardation with reading comprehension and definitions of words.

No. I will repeat for the 10th time, that I am not going to reveal the intellectual property to non-developers of the coin before launch. Why should we give away our secrets to our competition. Duh.

You are too damn lazy to do your research properly and then you libel me as a result.

You've got all the facts wrong. First you have the chronology wrong. Back in July or August, we entertained some potential angel investors via our controlling group. I also made a series of posts over in the Economic Totalitarianism thread for those who were asking me to help fix problems in cryptoland, explaining about how we might go about distributing coins and raising money in the future at some unknown future launch date. This was all hypothetical discussion about what may or may not take place. It was to help those who might want to be angel investors make some decision about whether they wanted to be in contact with our controlling group. However, the controlling group did not raise any money from them. There was communication with about a dozen individuals in private and only communication.

There is one angel investor (apologies I misspoke earlier and said I have two, meaning there is another one ready to invest at any time) who funded my controlling group and the controlling group has provided me some operating funds, i.e. paid for my services on developing the coin and doing public communication. So far, I have written two earth shattering white papers, ported the I2P EdDSA code to Scala, ported my Javascript implementation of Blake2 to Scala. If I wasn't here answering you, I'd be coding right now.

After all that, I made a thread here in the Altcoin Discussion to get some feedback on the name and potentially solicit interest from other developers that might want to work on the project. That is not 'promotion' of a coin nor is about raising funds, because we don't need any funds. I have another angel investor willing to give the controlling group $25,000 any time I ask. There are a dozen other angel investors potentially interested in investing $3 - 5K each, although you assholes probably scared them away, but it doesn't matter because I have enough cash to pay my expenses until I finish the coin.


If you tell me what to do again, I am going to purposefully not do what you instructed. Stop talking down to me. I don't take commands from you.

Obviously we could pay developers from angel funds, future coins, or work for free in exchange for higher salary after launch. All of these possibilities have been discussed. For now I am the only developer, and I am taking the minimum financial assistance to pay my very low living expenses since I live in the Philippines. For example, my rent is only $350 per month. I also have some funds locked up at precious metal dealer for the past couple of years and still hoping he will give me my money. I think I may receive the last installment soon so then I am self-funded.


I am not handling angel investor funds directly. The one angel investor coursed the funds through the controlling group and I was paid for services rendered.

I did do some consultation work (on anonymity designs) for one of the other developers in Cryptoland and received some income for that recently.

You should note that the controlling group has already paid 4 BTC to the author of Compact Confidential Transactions to hold an exclusive over all discussions we had in private. I fixed that design and also extended it to hide values, payer, and payee.

Believe it or not, I am going to shock you.

First of all, if you had bothered to read further in the Economic Totalitarianism thread that Smoothie quoted, you would see I made a statement that the proposed ICO plan was unteneable because the controlling group could borrow money and buy its own ICO and then pay the loan back. So I said that plan had been scrapped and we'd have to come up with a new one. We did not announce any new plan.

Also I made it clear that if ever I am involved with a coin and even the lead developer, then I won't be the controlling group. I will be paid by the controlling group for my services. So you'll need to ask my controlling group. I think at this time they are not yet ready to come public because there is no coin and no announcement of any coin.

I do hope you are able to discern the distinction between the Altcoin Announcements and the Altcoin Discussion threads. I realize you seem to be a bit challenged by big words. But I am hopeful a dictionary can help you to learn.

I don't remember any mention of raising a $million dollars now. I think you may be referring to some hopes of what could maybe be raised if the coin was launched and some money was raised in an ICO to fund further developments. The latest internal proposal I saw from the controlling group was to raise funds in very small amounts for specific tasks that need to be funded, i.e. a trickle ICO.

Given that it will be open source, these developments can only help everyone in cyptoland. With a trickle ICO, then there comes some proof of results before money is raised again. Therefor one would assume the price would increase. And yes of course once coins are sold, then there must be an exchange and a market price.

Perhaps the coins would be sold on the exchange in a trickle after announcing the sale or perhaps in a transparent bid auction.

But none of that applies in the here and now. That was all hypothetical discussion about what might happen if we ever launch the coin.

Also there is still the option of distributing all coins in PoW and not raising any funds at all. But I don't know why anyone would develop the coin in this case.

Of course many coins will be distributed by PoW. It is absolutely necessary because the users will be the miners in this design. And they will need coins to avail of the microtransaction ecosystem (think new social networks, dating sites, etc). Thus the small morsels they mine will mean big time features they can avail of. They will perceive a much higher value.

You think I am joking when I say I am going to kick your loser ass.

Smooth you see I told you the bullies would try to attack with the SEC. It is always like that. They are such assholes. They only know how to destroy cryptoland. Btw, the SEC has no jurisdiction of non-USA persons and controlling groups.

First of all, you are conflating. I said I might raise some angel investor funds to go to Australia to get a fecal transplant. The SEC has nothing to do with angel investment via the controlling group which pays to me for my services rendered. The talk about raising money at an ICO was future looking and has nothing to do with my current health needs.

Also since that time, my research revealed that the doctor in Australia likes to use high doses of antibiotics pre-FMT and I believe high dose antibiotics is one of the factors that caused my gut dysbiosis and resultant M.S.. Thus I was preparing for a self-administered fecal transplant locally here in the Philippines using my gf's sister as the donor and putting her on a strict diet before hand. But since I've had some success treating myself with an all vegan diet (after a 10 fasting in late August) coupled with Kombucha tea, I have for the moment put the self-administered fecal transplant on hold.

You are so cruel. You rub salt into the wound of a severely ill person with a disability. I'll be sure I remember this when you have some bad luck.

You bullies are searching for any means possible to try to scare investors and discredit my work. It is so obvious.

Watch and learn.

I realize I only bolded 4 of your words and perhaps your IQ is really challenged by 4 words, but I am not 'promoting'. I asked for a vote on the name and discussion that could help me spur other developers to help me code. This is what open source is all about you fucking idiot.

Open source is not about programming by yourself in a cave as you bullies would force me to do.


We'll let a judge decide if your posting of abusive images is stalking or not, especially after I have stated numerous times to stop abusing me.


Harrassment is a form of bullying and defamation, especially to the extreme degree you are going with it. And especially coupling it with lies and libel.


Why do you force me to repeat myself by lying about my upthread statements.

I am not unhappy about "feedback" in the normal use of the forums. That is why we are here is to discuss matters.

I have already warned Smoothie that he has abused the trust system out of revenge and libeled me, and unilaterally abused the fact that he appears in the obscure notion of Default Trust which is buried from most readers' awareness, to place an accusation that I am a scammer on my user profile.

He has not provided evidence that I am scammer. This is serious libel and he will pay for it one day.

Ok so a more serious questions now.

Here's a few things I see fault with in your plan of investment and lacktherof discussion of rewards.

1. How do you plan on investors receiving ROI on their investment in Ion?

1-a. There is mention about trying to crowdsource a million dollars in capital for the development of Ion and instanteous, anonymous transactions, however you also mention that the chain is going to be POW but in that model, the price each Coin ultimately falls to the cost of production then then inconceivable for holders to keep their investment with additional Coins continually driving down the price.

1-b. Within the potential crownsourcing there is mention of wanting to use investors funds for a fecal transplant, this is securities fraud.

1-c. The problem that even if you are successful that you may end up being ties up in legal battles over petty squabbles, wasting valuable time and money only to try to prove a point.

2. What is your plan on adoption and use of the system? Instantaneous transactions are largely irrelevant if it cannot be used by the general population and with Bitshares, eMunie, NXT or Ethereum, what makes your Ion concept superior and a better investment to these systems which are already better established? If Bitshares has 1 second transaction times then why should I choose Ion if the cost of POW mining will be continually devaluing the investment, making it somewhat of a trap where in order to get my investment out, there needs to be more investment than the cost of mining and the users leaving the system.

You are probably right about this but I still see it as a red flag as he suggested using investors funds for personal use rather than on the software itself. I think the best course of action is simply not to handle investors funds directly and avoid that situation altogether, then you never have to worry about cases of securities fraud or the trolling that can come as a result of investors not happy with the use of those funds.

How is it fraud of any kind if the investors are told that's what their investment will (or may) be used for?

Lie. Warning you've just libeled me.

I made it very clear in my thread that I was only interested in a poll on the name and potentially recruiting developers.

You have just entered the realm of legal culpability.


Again you continue to try to be my mother. You have not yet learned to be mature and understand what mutual respect means.

Mutual respect means respecting that people have their own choices and to respect their choices for as long as their choices do not hurt you.

You are trying to force your will down my throat and accusing me of a victimless crime and in fact even lying about my actions.

Despicable.

Smooth, I know how to deal with these asshole bullies. Watch and observe how I shut them up. Truth is on my side. I have done nothing wrong.

Vaporware is often announced months or years before its purported release, with development details lacking. Developers have been accused of intentionally promoting vaporware to keep customers from switching to competing products that offer more features

"[Stalking] is a form of mental assault, in which the perpetrator repeatedly, unwantedly, and disruptively breaks into the life-world of the victim, with whom he has no relationship (or no longer has), with motives that are directly or indirectly traceable to the affective sphere. Moreover, the separated acts that make up the intrusion cannot by themselves cause the mental abuse, but do taken together (cumulative effect)."

Stop with your condescending, childish self-flagellation. Don't you have any work to do?

I already stated clearly that the actions taken by Smoothie are culpable under the law. If he chooses to risk it, he can face the consequences.

Stop trying to tell me what to do. You are not my mother. Mutual respect begins with understanding I am 50 years old and I don't need your childish concepts of how I should be if only I could meet your expectations. I am perfectly capable of running my own life.

Apparently you do not understand what the phrase "mutual respect" means. When dealing with childish boys who don't understand this, the only way to teach them is to defeat them. Then they start to learn.

It has been a long time since you boys have met a man who will tell you frankly when you are abusive and it is not acceptable.

Coin Sponsor Program

Cryptsy's Coin Sponsor program gives the ability for a coin to be spotlighted on Cryptsy. To determine which coins are spotlighted at any given time a bidding process is used. Each coin is given a bitcoin address. Users can send bitcoin to a coins address to move it up the list. The top 4 coins on the bidding list are spotlighted as long as they remain in the top 4.

The balance of the spotlighted coins depreciates. Every 5 minutes 0.00034722 BTC is deducted from the address’s balance. If a coin drops out of the spolight position the deductions stop. For this reason the balance of an address on the blockchain can not be used to determine a coins position on the vote list. The current balance of a coins address will be displayed on the bid list.

Cause everyone knows best anti-gossiping defense is more gossiping.

Any speculation you want to share with us regarding 1/3 of "rewards" going missing? Theft, hack, bug, fudsters, sun spots?

Or maybe - and this is a brave new theory I came up with just now - maybe it's a collapsing ponzi. How incredible would that be!
