41  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Transparent Coin Swap Guidelines on: February 02, 2015, 05:54:00 PM

# 1 All wallets are forward compatible. Original wallets must work with new blockchains.

This can sometimes prove problematic
As a general rule its perfectly valid, however factoring in various techniques developers may wish to employ on their platforms/networks this may not be possible so maintain multiple nodes/blockchains, Also this can be a cause of cross-broadcast messages if not done correctly.

What about a realtime technique, where the swap process occurs transparently to the end-user.. the funds from the old wallet are sent to a burn address and every X number of minutes a poll can request to swap out funds from a specific burn address and change to the new coin and forwarded over to the end-user who instigated the transaction..

Suggestions on how to partially achieve this can be found below:-
https://github.com/casascius/Bitcoin-Address-Utility

https://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/01/26/bitcoin-address-utility/

for the version prefixes as a reference
http://earlz.net/view/2014/10/22/0340/provably-spendable-altcoin-burn-addresses

# 2 Automatic payouts. Find all the addresses + balances. Send back all the coins in the first block of the new blockchain.

This is also covered in what I briefly described above. Its just the second part of that sentence..
Send back all the coins in the first block of the new blockchain

For this to happen you need to have determined several variables OR made several assumptions.

What if the coin supply has changed in the new coin which is to be swapped.. OR even decreased supply??
What if you have conflicts on the blockchain..
What if you cannot scrape all the addresses form the BE/BC??
What if end-users don't wish to swap their coins.. stupid i know but what if?? Therefore will it be mandatory swap or voluntary swap process..
What if the algo has changed in the new coin which is being swapped
What if the coin to be swapped has enabled PoW OR simply disable PoS

I'm trying to say sometimes things are not cut and dry kind of thing.. but again in principle its sound!




# 3 Maintain copies of the older blockchains through multiple channels of distribution. Advanced work can be done to create a custom block explorer that combines both blockchains allowing users to search through both seamlessly as 1 chain.


* Maintain copies of the older blockchains through multiple channels of distribution.
This costs money.. what if the costs of keeping several nodes running and a BE service is prohibitively expensive on a shoe string budget?
Maybe Multiple channels of distributions could be a simple .CSV file containing past TXID OR a recursive bootstrap.dat file containing TX's upto the cutoff block

*Advanced work can be done to create a custom block explorer that combines both blockchains allowing users to search through both seamlessly as 1 chain.
Yes agreed this is a valid approach. but the question arises. Time/funding/technical ability's.?

The added time it takes to arrange something like this
The costs involved in maintaining a solution like this
Developers inabilities to actually produce a working BE which can harmonize both old/new TX in one seamless data stream, Not every developer is compliant?


*These guidelines should be followed when possible. There are times where a swap requires a different kind of wallet rendering the coin unable to comply with these guidelines.

**Failure to comply with these guidelines will allow for valid scam accusation associated with the coin swap process.

Please add on to this list or raise issues with the current guidelines. The goal of these guidelines is to allow coins to perform a coin swap without valid scam accusations by being fully transparent about the process.


To have such a hard stance and cynical view on the methods employed by a development team is to harsh.. I can understand many, many people have been burned in the crypto game. But what about that 1/100 genuine developer/coin project which is attacked (maybe by you) even when trying to do something for the best of intentions/reasons to help its community..

personally I don't not think its fair to tar the same brush as the other malicious developers who use cryptos as a scam with those who try to do good things for crytpos and actually believe in what cryptos stands for. Just because they did not adhere to these guidelines above!

Just a suggestions:-
A retro-active follow up maybe a good course of action..
After the swap has ended then follow up with your questions to see if they comply.
BUT first make sure they know what it is they have to comply with before calling SCAM!!!.
Give them time to fix any problems and then allow them to justify legitimate discrepancy and leave it upto the community to decide.
Maybe compile a table showing swap data maybe create a service around it.
kind of like what CryptoAsian has done for Proof of developer (http://proofofdev.com) except use swap data and award a points system.



These are good guidelines so far.

I will not buy any coin that has engaged in one of these manual coin swaps.



Hi compmaster,

Im curious whether you would consider buying a coin which has had a small element of manual coin-swapping activity (10% +/-) applied to the coin AFTER an automated swap which reached about (90% +/-) of the total coin supply.?

Take AERO which swapped over to AM (AeroME) In this particular issue most of the coins were taken offline and burned by the Exchange.. as I said approximitly 90+% of the coin supply.
However there is a small portion of users whom were unable to meet the swap date for various reasons and as such were offered a Manual coinswap which happened after the automated swap process. Even these manual swapped coins were also burned. Reason for the manual step was to ensure the swap reached and penitrated with the maximum covrage.

So by using a combination of both Automated/manual swaps (primarily focused on automated swap) does your comment (above) still stand based on the details specified above?

Like I said I'm just curious and interested to find out if indeed there is a case to made to get some kind of "standard" formed and agreed to community wide. A standard consensus on coin-swaps "good-practices" for all alts?

We also realized that It may not be possible to collect the complete total coin supply due to breakages.
As a example of what i mean by breakage coins lost from missing privkeys or coins sent to incorrect accounts, or just human error, etc, etc

This is why we considered a second *MANUAL* swap offering to allow those who had genuine reasons why then missed the official automated swap phase..


Thanks,

Majika

I am happy to help you resolve this matter but you first need to contact me to discuss exactly what it is you think I stole from you. Your neglect surrounding your investment can not be placed onto me. With that said I will try to help!

Basic definition of theft.

(1)A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it; and “thief” and “steal” shall be construed accordingly.
(2)It is immaterial whether the appropriation is made with a view to gain, or is made for the thief’s own benefit.
(3)The five following sections of this Act shall have effect as regards the interpretation and operation of this section (and, except as otherwise provided by this Act, shall apply only for purposes of this section).

This does not constitute theft
The property is still yours..
I never tried to take anything from you!
I have no intention of depriving you from anything. I have even offered to help you which goes against what has already been stated in this community regarding swap rules.
I have nothing to gain from your issues..
I have not benefited from anything..

That link will most likely show up on the google results underneath the link to this thread.

Hopefully this link prevents anyone from losing money during this pump and dump scam.


First of all.. People seriously had an reasonable amount of time to make the swap. The fact that you didn't swap screams that you have been paying 0 attention to your investments for EXTENDED periods of time.



I HAVE OFFERED TO HELP YOU!!!!



Quote from: fart
Aero has done nothing to ensure transparency.

This is just incorrect on so many different levels. I hate to say this but if you had been an active participant in this community you would have been kept abreast about any up and coming issues.!

Quote from: fart
It's impossible to answer questions of where the coins came from.

Incorrect.. Give me your TXID of each of the transactions you wish to claim I can find out exactly where they came from and what date/time. np's

Have you seen the number of coins swapped??? Look back a few pages..

It's perfectly fine to be 100% premined. Many coins do this and are successful.
Do you have an intimate knowledge of the internal workings of the AM crypto systems..  more particularly the Aero Platform and project (I doubt it)?

What happened that a made the old wallet forward-incompatible with the new wallet?
You mean backwards-compatible right?

Read my friend.. All 240+ pages the information is all here.. spend the time researching your questions as opposed to coming out with crap, I give you a tip.. (Hooks) that should narrow your search down..

I understand you are frustrated, but to call something which obviously you don't understand a flat-out scam is just uncalled for.
You remind me a little about this other guy (NTL500) who was quite like you at first, but in time he to slowly realized this is no scam and in fact we became quite friendly a mutual respect was nurtured between us.

To help you understand and in time hopefully help you to realize I am not a scammer nor, are the project goals. I have certain principles and a specific ethical stance which I will not allow to be jilted/perverted by/for anyone.

Everything has and will be done with community consensus.

If you wish to seek help from myself please be so kind and contact me
I am available via IRC (#aerocoin)
Our slack group or here via PM.

This is the last time I will offer my help on this matter..
So, I urge you to please take up my offer.

Respectfully,

Majika



Follow up:-

As of yet you still have not made any effort to contact me to help try to put this right..

As of yet, you have still not given me a chance to help solve your issue.
I would be much happier if you do not feel cheated in whatever capacity or the circumstances which lead you to have feelings and motivation to openly attack this community, myself and this project without atleast trying to allow us to solve things like a normal human beings.

One final thought which I suspect lays behind your true motivations as you are unable to provide me with solid TXID info is that you picked up some cheap buys on Cryptsy. With the vein attempt at a quick buck in a swap. (I maybe wrong, if so please prove it)
The Cryptsy situation is still an issue I am still trying to tackle as best I can to avoid any confusion between AERO markets and AM markets.
I have clearly stated that The AERO Block chain is no longer supported at this time.

In future please only buy your AM from Bittrex:- https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-AM

Also if I take into account your motivations to "Prove a point" or whats known as "Social Proof" to provide validity to one's ideas to validate your own actions as with this post you made which can be found here

Its as if because the AERO > AM swap process was not done in accordance with your ideas of a fair swap process guideline you feel you are well justified in calling s cam.

Quote
Social proof, also known as informational social influence, is a psychological phenomenon where people assume the actions of others in an attempt to reflect correct behavior for a given situation. This effect is prominent in ambiguous social situations where people are unable to determine the appropriate mode of behavior, and is driven by the assumption that surrounding people possess more knowledge about the situation
Quote

In an ideal world this would generally form a sound basis for a standard set of guidelines for swaps.
Maybe if you manage a coin yourself you could create some kind of networking infrastructure between other fellow devs/projects.

If this was indeed the case maybe I would have been made aware about your thoughts and suggestions about what constitutes a fair swap, however as your not directly responsible for a specific projects from my initial research surrounding yourself AND as I am not a mind reader, nor, was i privy to these self made guidelines you drafted up ahead of swap time.

I can only suggest you to consider making a formal proposal to all the altcoin devs / exchanges and projects about your guidelines and try to find some consensus to drive your ideas forwards.

Its definitely a worthy issue to have a informed discussion about in the correct forum.
But I'm sad to say I only just now stumbled upon your information (link above) if i knew sooner i would have definitely took into consideration some of your suggestions.

Aero Community,

Regarding the Logo comp.

Just a quick statement that this logo is final and will be used on everything from now on.




Code:
AeroME Logo (Symbol)

A there is also another logo which contains "text" by the side of this symbol/shape whatever you want to call it.
Something like what was shown in the SS a few pages back...


Code:
AeroME Logo (Symbol + Text) (coming soon)


::AeroMe Raspberry Pi::

Tuxxilla has made a great Step-by-step guide to setup AeroMe on your Raspberry Pi..
I believe Tux will be posting it here shortly.

I have an Aero paper wallet from 4 months ago.

What is AeroME?



I've been looking into things and it looks like AERO did a manual coin swap that has now expired. Is this correct?

My AERO is now worthless?




i think if its genuinely 4 months old i believe we can help you out 

dont panic , let try to find a way to get your coins

yes, as Idol said, if its really 4mo. old paper wallet.. maybe there is something we can help you with.. idk will need to check first.


I've been looking into things and it looks like AERO did a manual coin swap that has now expired. Is this correct?

That is correct. In theory they are worthless.
But the community is known to help out their members, so I would suggest to join slack. (Link).
I am sure we can figure out a way to help you.

KL, Yes, a great suggestion perhaps we can discuss in slack with fartbags (sorry, I have to lol at the name).. to see what can be done to help.
If you wish to you can always PM me where where we can have a private conversations to asses what amount of AERO we are talking about here.
If its not a ridiculously high number Im sure we can help..

Quote from: idol
we will reach new highs on aerome

we must understand aerome is not 1 time release

its never ending development

with each added development we  will see new highs so on..so 10k maybe a good time memory

ltc was 1 cent at 1 point

Idol Yes, you bring up a very valid point.. AeroME Coin/Platform is not just a one-hit wonder..
Its a constantly evolving project, This is something which I plan working solely on for the foreseeable future. No side projects just AME-X and AM.
You will see its a system which grows in time changing to meet the changing needs of its target audience.
As new ways of working with blockchain technologies evolve and develop so will the platform and services which make up AME-X.
I plan on getting this version of AME-X out and getting straight back to planning the next features to add/release, etc. without missing a beat!

Regarding the whole idea about price points that's something I try to leave to the markets.
I can only put out my work and leave the price stuff to the community.
I remain impartial (as best I can) but i do get pretty pissed seeing bots skewing the order books.
But your right, ltc was 1 cent once upon a time, AM has the ability/qualities to go very high Smiley

For New Investors!!!!!!

AERO had been swapped with AeroME (AM)!

https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-AM  Cheesy

https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/AERO_BTC  Angry

p.s Some are still trading old Aerocoin @ Cryptsy.

I have a question, how is it possible that Aero (not AeroMe) trade on Cryptsy?
It seems some traders and Cryptsy did not exchange the coins and old market still open for trading.
Hi andre,
Your concerns are being addressed as we speak.
Please have a read of the follow response to your question below:
I can no longer guarantee the validity of the AERO Blockchain nor the AERO market and have withdrawn official support for the AERO codebase (They use at their own risk)
Aero Community,
Furthermore, the Cryptsy sage continues with the AERO market something which I'm trying to get shutdown without causing any harm.
This is something which I am very well aware about and am dealing with atm..
Thanks,
Majika

UserAlter Thanks for making this clear..

murderouskirk maybe it is his/her way of supporting us lol.. Thanks for your social exposure on this and other AM matters!

KryptoLydin, Excellent work. you too have been very busy.. thanks for solid effort. KL your are a great support and one of the pivotal member of this community!
I tip my hat to you all Wink

DefendKebab, I'm glad you see it this way!. Yes, I do agree AeroME is a solid coin with solid goals and solid plans to reach those goals all this with a solid community to-boot. Along with some Price action IMHO a solid project, great all-rounder.!
And the best is still yet to come.


Thanks,

Majika

Aero Community,

Room for one more? Looks promising!
Hi Angus, Welcome.. There's always room for one more Wink

Can you get rid of aero and add aerome on cmc because it must be confusing for new comers.

Hi Flam, Yes, I assume your referring to coinmarketcap ("CMC") I am about to submit request to coin-marketcap for AM. And at the same time get AERO references changed.

Furthermore, the Cryptsy sage continues with the AERO market something which I'm trying to get shutdown without causing any harm.
This is something which I am very well aware about and am dealing with atm..


On another note about "AM" Logos. Im just arranging with KryptoLydin what is the best approach regarding logos etc as a lot of work has already been done, so please hold off on any logo submissions for the moment until we can reach some agreement on the best course of action. Sorry about the inconvenience guys.

Thanks,

If anyone has a suggestions for a good, well targeted tagline which encompasses in a few words the project as a whole, please feel free to share..

Maybe to help get you started try and sum up in a few words what you think this project will come to represent, what it will be able to achieve, how it will apply to the current crypto blockchain service space.

Aero Community,

This is just a little something .. but obviously, I am still working on it.






This is not the finished product.



just the landing page of the front-end.. actually the front-end of the backend.. (if that makes much sense..)

I have to do some changes to the DSP API endpoints for the authentication systems including OAUTH mapping.
Also need to do a phonegap android build which I plan on doing over the 1 week testing period.

Things will be rolled out in stages.. As its the only real way to manage it all whilst at the same time keeping a good high-level view of the whole platform services and apps as they are bought online..

tbh, i wasn't planning on showing this to you all just yet until I had the finished product. But a friend suggested its well over due and he's quite right!

Please also note this is not the client app, where the real stuff happens this is the web-based app for the platform.

Lots more to show you when i'm done.

I thank you all for hanging in there this has been a very long road especially in the crypto world, for this i thank you!

I hope you get a feel now on how the whole project will come together.

Last word:

I still have what seems to be a sizable "todo" list, however I am glad to report its all very manageable tasks within in a fairly good time frame from now..

Thanks,

--Maj

Aero Community,

I have some reserves regarding the logo. Now that investments are being done to get AM to the outside world, is has to be right on the spot. That logo has something that makes it look unprofessional.

Branding is essential, and yes it is much better to get something done now as opposed to later on down the road.


I just want dev to be decisive and say, "This is the Logo". If it comes from yet another contest fine, but I dont want the community to decide, because its too many opinions. I want his decision to be final, and we all just go with it.


Yes, i can always step in to sort our the cross-talk however its good to have community input however distracting. After all we all have a say/stake in this project.
I say let the contest begin!!

bounty for best logo reward is:- X.xx k AM <== suggestions on amount for bounty reward out of the community fund???

I have a request for those who wish to participate.

Please provide the original .psd/png as it will make my life easier when it comes to optimized the graphics across the platform client/front-end and for any other promotions which we shall be doing.


Lots of stuff has been done.. to much to note here but in a nutshell:-

More Nodes are almost done/ready for a second batch of DNSSEED nodes to power the platform BC.
NGINX reverse-proxys which will be passing requests and sending responses onto the node server(s) have been setup..
Redis caching layer configured on staging servers and have nice setup working and is blazing fast!
I have finalized the "hardening" of 3 forward facing servers, which match that of the ones already in service. So, im happy they are pretty secure.
I will have this looked at in more depth by some pro's asap before live tests begin and also during test phase.
Maybe more changes need to be made to ensure its all patched up and secure according to latest security threats, which i am not up to speed on as much as I like to be these days, threats change so fast in the security world.
So, I will do what i can but I also have a discussion with some of my old friends and seek advise. Check we are in accordance with OWSAP spec. and do some vuln. testing / analysis.

We have a good distribution of well placed .EU/.US servers to run the blockchain and both the platform and supporting services..

Frontend stuff is being done over the next couple of days and as soon as i wired up the API we good to begin live tests.

Without sounding over excited I'm quietly confidant we will start seeing support type services for the platform popping up can coming online shortly.

There maybe gremlins in the system so please don't push me for a solid release date/time I still have a bit left to do..
Please take this with a pinch of salt, many things can and will crop up which will require() my attention.

It looks like a lots is left to do but really isn't much to it. Its just a matter of doing it. (if that makes sense..)


The plan is to basically mimic my local / staging setup and deploy out of staging.
Get the last parts finished and wire it all up.
3 main release stages, platform, <> support services, client.
Test (closed tests for a few days)
Test performance and monitor.. This may require changes to configs or to bring more servers online.
If when, all good, general.beta (real world tests)
Then the current branch of the Repo will made public.
peer review (Sec. review will be done prior to launch)

Hi andre,

Your concerns are being addressed as we speak.
Please have a read of the follow response to your question below:

I can no longer guarantee the validity of the AERO Blockchain nor the AERO market and have withdrawn official support for the AERO codebase (They use at their own risk)

At the moment, as I am the sole dev for AERO/AM projects I cannot support both coin projects and platform project(s) in parallel, both in terms of technical work required for security and maintenance
or financially via node costs and running costs or other promotional costs, etc which may apply.

I have a finite budget for AM/AMP usage only as per the previous posts.

Initial Suggestion of Dev Fund:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=660938.msg9772629#msg9772629
My response to this guesture
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=660938.msg9774695#msg9774695

The objective was and still remains to convert *ALL* AERO holders over to the new AM coin. This was a vast success considering how well distributed AERO was.

I will look into "and" follow up with Cryptsy directly regarding some kind of arrangements which can be made to take the market offline without damaging the holder of AERO on cryptsy.

Without me sounding like i'm bashing cryptsy, their support ticket system/service is terribly slow.

Please keep in mind, I have said this from the very beginning my intentions are based around the needs of the community first and foremost.
Ample opportunity was in place for AERO > AM coin swaps, myself and others done our best to get this message out to everyone.
 
With this being said I cannot control every aspect about who can do what and where, as this is an open system based and built on top of open standards. This is the main selling point of cryptos in general.
 
But I will not be able to support AERO any longer in its current form.. (meaning: focus is all on AM/AM_Platform now)

I will not condone community members from trading on the Cryptsy AERO market nor, will i offer any swaps as its past the "official" cut off date.

The only thing I can say is to wait for cryptsy Technical support team to get back to me.
I cannot promise what the outcome of this dialogue will be just yet OR what arrangements will be put in place to secure a complete transition from AERO > AM on cryptsy exchange.

This does not mean there could not be another swap at a later date at an adjusted ratio if this is even possible.
But again I will keep an open mind on all solutions which is fair not just for those who managed to follow the guidelines reached the swap dates during the coin-swap phase but also to the AM community in general,
those of us who already hold AM. ANY decisions will be brought to the community where a consensus will be reached on whatever solutions proposed..

So I ask to please help make my life easier by not buying any AERO and focus on AM only, its only a matter of time now until the AERO network is brought down/offline and done so in a honest and fair way.

I have to wait for cryptsy to get back to me and we will *all* take it from there.

As always I will keep you all informed as and when i get info for the community.

Side Note
chiluanglitai9520411,
Regarding the release of AMP (AeroME Platform) please keep an eye open for the New AM OP which is being finalized now which will contain the release date.
And I got to say the new OP looks great as does the actual Platform too ! Wink

I would like to say a special thanks to _Evolution_ for showing keen interest in my works and for offering his technical support and assistance in setting up the platform.  

Regards,

Majika



Note: I will also provide complete transparency and a complete break down of the AeroME Community fund AND breakdown of the manual swap figures ASAP.

I have spent 25k AM from the AM dev fund and 25k AM from the community fund.
TOTAL 50K AM.

no, it is aero wallet

two days ago i downloaded wallet from OP and sent coins there

fuck

i hope someone can fix this
open the aero wallet
press help, debug, console
type dumprivkey (address)
^replace (address) with the address you sent your AM to.
then you get a long *** private key
copy that
open AM wallet
press help, debug, console
type in console:
importprivkey (privatekey) AMaero true
^replace (privatekey) with that long *** private key you got earlier.
press enter then it should do something for a while
then after its done you have your AM back.

Thank you mrz123 that will work...!!

pagona and Havelivi, please can you contract me regarding this issue. I will see what I can do to help.

Furthermore, for clarity the OP has been updated / vandalized by myself to stop this from happening again.

Aero Community,

The AeroME (AM) Block Explorer is now live!!


http://am.blockexplorer.cc/chain/AeroME

Regarding the issue of payment for the services provided (50k AM) (Value approx. 0.63btc)
I will absorb half (25k AM) from the dev fund and the remaining from community fund.
Does anyone have a problem with that or wish to contribute?



Quote from: kryptolydin
The coins on Poloniex are lost, they delisted Aero long time ago.
But if the amount is not to much I will swap them for you from my own pocket, sucks to miss the deadline.

Counter,

PM me your Bittrex address for AeroME, ill hook you up with your polo balance.

Counter, I have sent you a PM along those same sort of lines.. Both KL, Idol and mitch have the same idea and share same feelings towards this matter
Its good to see us step up and take care of our own kind of thing.!

Aero Community,

If anyone can get a handle on locating Dasource for me or knows where to find him, please let me know or pass this message on to him.

.. After WW3 the only inhabitants on this planet will be cockroaches and AeroME users.

LOL

Thanks guys,

Great job YoBit,

Dear Forum Members!

AeroME is listed on YoBit.net Exchange (free coins in chat):

English: https://yobit.net/en/trade/AM/BTC
Chinese: https://yobit.net/cn/trade/AM/BTC
Russian: https://yobit.net/ru/trade/AM/BTC

Our topic on BitcoinTalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914975.0

I wish you all the luck in the world with your exchange and I think i can speak for the community when stating our gratitude for adding AeroME (AM) to your exchange!



Then WTF are these expenses you are talking about?  

I agree access to server Enterprise grade server resources have become much cheaper since the cloud/big data revolutions.

in response to WTF are these costs i speak about.. in a word. "hummm..." (if that's a word. lol)
Simplistically speaking your right for a straight up typical Web 2.0 app shared provisioned resources will suffice, however this is A) not your typical project B) this is not the typical market sector for the requirements to meet the needs of a Web 2.0 App web presence.

We are dealing in financials, which bring about many, many concerns. principally Security concerns, legislative data protection concerns, geographical jurisdiction concerns based on where the content is housed the status of cryptos means at any time laws can be amended changed and created. which means for a startup of this nature requires, scalable, robust, flexible, multi-homed provisioned servers based in crypto-friendly "data-centers"


Its not all about your I/O per month or the number of vCores in use or number of AWS instances you  "spin up" nor, is it only about your max Burstable rate your package supports or Data TX per month

Have you priced up an "extended" wildcard ssl cert these days with the correct guaranteed cover for protected assets? then come back to me with the same question.

But, again keeping it simple and all.. most of testing has been done on my intranet. The staging servers were provided cost free by a close friend on his internal core systems which has helped tremendously to keep costs down to minimum.

Now, for the portions of network which I am unable to acquire "cost free" to be kept flexible enough whilst at the same time keeping redundancy considerations in mind and without overly leveraging the the vast sway of the SaaS offerings which have sprung up over recent years such as cloudFlare CDN, etc fail-over & Private DNS systems (which cost) is one such example where professional reputable providers bridge this gap. "shared" VPS will only take you so far before falling short of legal data storage issues, to name a few.

Corner cutting is not a good idea and much prefer to pay for a "professional" solution which protects the project and the project operators, which is also fit for purpose and also suitable for my requirements.
These are just a fraction of the considerations which must be meet and which I am working on now.

Consider SLA's.. is a SLA with a real-time response time or a SLA with a 1hr/2hrs/6hrs/12hrs/24hrs/48hrs response time the same price? a lot can happen in cryptos in 10 mins. Theses are the types of offerings made by professional providers. Yes, AWS offers this kind of things as do many others in the space, however its the personal touch offered by niche providers who can put together bespoke packages which I have had the best experience with in the past.

With all that said and done, I am always open to suggestions and am always eager to learn more. If you have some ideas on how to solve some of the issues mentioned above and others which i may not have yet thought about feel free to share here or in slack.


Complete Transparency

Regarding The AeroME Community fund: complete transparency shall be meet when i get a moment free, All the figures and pertinent information shall be made public. ASAP
Regarding the total swaps (including the manual processed by myself) Again, these figures will all be made available ASAP..
complete transparency!!

This is your fund (the community's fund) for side projects promotions or whatever you decide. Make a proposal on your ideas to further the AeroME project, then reach a consensus to access the fund.


Regards,

Majika

Thank You

Aero Community,


Coin Swap Notice

Coin Swaps are now over.

I will clear what reamining swap requests I have left on my books (which were made upto this point) but I cannot accept anymore requests for coin swaps.

Regarding users who have been buying from the Cryptsy books and making another coin-swap request for the second time, third time and even Forth time coin swap requests,
I'm sorry but this just isnt going to happen!

I cannot be the go between arbitrage man for cheap AERO > AM swaps via the back doors.

I am seeking Cryptsy's support for closing down the AERO market and switching to AM market in its place asap!

Quote from: mitchr4
Sorry, but this is a little bit of horseshit Dev, Its on you to produce a platform.

Yes, i totally agree, I make no excuses nor did I attempt to!  I was merely making the point that I doubt very much the AM market will be delisted due to lack of 0.2btc 7 day average cant be meet by the 16th

Quote from: mitchr4
I, and many others promoted the shit out of Aero, and were gaining investors, and then you dropped a surprise coin swap on us...

I know how much work you have put into this Mitch and the work of the other guys behind this. This community (Our community) is one of the finest I have seen, I really mean that !!
Regarding the Swap This was a nasty by-product of poor decisions made by myself during the IPO this was not how I planned things to happen.

Quote from: mitchr4
Now, we can't promote a coin that hasn't released a feature in 4 months, and had a coinswap.

I disagree, however i see your jobs have been made a lot harder.

The fact we have had a successful coin-swap is a PR story no?

Features come and they go, like a fad. I am aiming for persistent features which actually have some real world usage!

The fact Aero holders now have x 0.58333333 more coins than the did prior to swap that's a story?
 
One of the most important factors to a successful coin/project is the community aspect.. We have that! That in itself is a huge marketing angle.

But, the story about
how the Developer listened to the AERO community better judgement and survived a failed IPO.
How AM was born from the AERO ashes after a successful coin swap process.. These are "community" marketing angles
How the developer managed to carry out multiple manual coin-swaps on top of his normal workload.. now thats a story
How Community member now have a say on how their community fund is used to better a project.. that's a angle..
How the AeroME Platform is being put together "live" in the real worlds.. that's a story..
How Bittrex exchange team and the dev helped to execute a coin-swap and helped to keep the AM network "up" and running over Xmas period.. in the face of multiple problems now that's a story..
How the developer maintained the network when the worlds was falling apart around him.. now that's a story..
How AERO/AM is in the process of having a blog post of one of the most promising Alts for 2015 in the making.. now thats a story!

So, there is plenty to be creative about purely in news terms around this swap process alone!

Quote from: mitchr4
Its impossible without coming off like a scam. Im all in to promote once the release happens, but you've handcuffed the community.

How so? Just reporting alone on the information surrounding the swap is promotion.. Admittedly not the news people want to read or particularly hear about.
But this is the thing about PR.. there should be a constant stream/barrage of news/info. 

How have I "handcuffed" the community?

Please Don't fixate on just one aspect of this project this is a multifaceted project. The platform is one part.. what about the coin itself..?
BUT what about the platform.. ?
Any info about the open nature of the platform, how "freelance" developers will be able to make their own custom modlues for the platform.
How it will create a whole plug-in/add-on/extension ecosystem built up around the platform itself?

I'm not knocking you here, definitly not so.. What im saying is that perhaps instead of fixating on the actual release date maybe its time to start hyping on stuff like this.
Its far from me to tell you how to do your thing, im just spit balling here as I leave that kind of "creative" thinking up to you guys, as your far better than me at this kind of thing than me and is also one of the things you guys do best.

Quote from: mitchr4
You gotta come up big, thats just apart of being a developer. Its a pretty damn good community in my opinion, and we're hanging in there... but you can't expect endless funds with no results.


I intend to fulfill my promises and deliver on this project (and others avenues outlined in some of my previous posts), regardless of external factors. I may have been quiet on the release front for 4 months but then again I havent.. New coin/Coinswap/manual coinswap/ deploying live platform.!!!!!  which can look contradictory to whats actual being put out there so 4 months more like 5 weeks. (Dec 1st 2014)

Yes, Like i said to, we have a bloody excellent community which is why I will not let you down. I cant say thank you enough for sticking in there.

Quote from: mitchr4
... but you can't expect endless funds with no results.

Endless funds.. do you mean endless funds to support the coin price or endless funds for development work?
I assume for AM price stabilization, as if you meant "endless funds" for dev work I have no intentions nor, expect endless funds.
I am extremely grateful and humbled at the 600k AM dev fund to wit has not 1 AM has been touched Out of the possible 1Mil AM kindly offered by the community.

£260 has come from my own pocket just the other day plus with another £110-150 costs expected later this week when the Mongo DB VPS  and the Heruku VPS come online.
This is what i meant when i said this is going to happen like it or not! Im to far committed to back down nor would I do such a thing, we all come to far!   

Quote from: mitchr4
It also doesn't help when you give no time frame... I understand why you do that, but saying we need to hold volume when there is no time frame is an issue. A week vs months makes a difference. Just give us a range...

I will not give time frame. As i stated countless times before. I am glad you also can see why i dont give dates not just out of price fairness but truth be told the sheer complexity of this project timelines are easily missed and I DO NOT want to alienate the community even further towards myself due to missing a timeline.

This is the exact reason why I don't expect anyone to hold vol. but more so on what you believe in me and also in the project as a whole!
But the point I was trying to make was simply..

I believe we have enough between us and what it takes to make sure the market can be kept up and not delisted. 0.2 btc 7-day average is not that much.

BTW We are not talking months away here.. Would I have spent that cash just the other day if i thought it were months down the line until its ready??
 
Professional servers,  Enterprise hosting infrastructure doesn't come cheap (not for my/our requirements anyway!) and is paid on a per monthly basis however economy of scales means paying bi-annually makes for the best cost Vs. return on the packages.. 

So, based on that info I think that you can work out a rough time line from that statement alone. If i thought it was months away I would have waited another month (or longer) before paying for the service rental.
--We are so very close and now that I have the majority of manual coin swaps done I can focus on getting this project deployed.!

Believe me I understand and can see how this proves a difficulty proposition for you and others involved.

Quote from: mitchr4
Ive got 2 btc on trex right now holding the price at 1k . Thats the best I can do on a promise. Its a hard project to deliver even with your skill set.

Mitch, it should go without saying by now but i will say it again.. Thank you for you time, dedication, energy and support..
We have had our chats in the past, I think you have a fairly good idea of what i can and cant do very well.. lol, you know im a shit gfx guy but code.. Coding is what i do, its what i live and breath.
I will pull it off!

I appreciate for comments mitch, Please Stick in there.

Respectfully,
majika


I have began build up a Advertisement budget most of which were freebies from the hosting packages and services which i purchased.
I will lease with the community to discuss where this will be best spent
So, when the time is right I will "activate" these freebies but I will also start to set aside some additional funds for a regular advertisement budget

Aero Community,

FINAL NOTICE

Manual Coin-Swap Phase will be ending in 14hrs (approx.)

January 11, 2015, 01:53:10 PM (GMT)

Please send your coins over to me for swap ASAP!

Regarding Bittrex and delisting etc.
They are running a business. 0.2btc is not exactly breaking the bank its up to us (myself included) to help make things happen.

I have just invested a chunk of change into aeromeplatform.com hosting and infrastructure for the platform.

Its happening like it or not. You know me i just do things, so your either in it now (whilst its really cheap) or invest later if you feel this project is for you at inflated prices!

So, fair warning to those not yet holding AM. I dont want to come across as being big headed etc but this project was/is a long time in the making. 

When i get a moment free to give you guys updates, pretty screenshots, working demo, etc etc. until then, know i am FLAT OUT busy on this. none stop.

This coin swap business has been keeping me very busy atm. Its nearly over soon and then I can get back to work on deploying AME platform.

Regards,

Majika
