We will be running a bounty campaign to finish all of KARMA back-end needs.

Starting from what fairglu of cryptoID did for 0.3BTC >>> https://chainz.cryptoid.info/karm/#!crypto with richlist and other KARMA info.

all other bounty works will be made available to the public.

Donations are hereby requested from all KARMA holders, you can donate in BITCOINS or KARMA COINS to the following official addresses:

FOR BTC donations: 12RVXoccgLy8o4GyeUULRmYhaaEL2emvQD FOR KARMA donations: KJTXThjDznwqqJiv33kPqxrxGa52CWJ4Bm

These are the jobs that needed to be done:

Karma API - 0.3 BTC

Karmashares Block Explorer - 0.3 BTC

Karmashares Explorer- 0.3 BTC

Karma Mobile wallets - 0.3 BTC each

SMS based APP for Karma transactions for non smart phones - 0.5 BTC

Karma GUI for FB recruitment like Stellar with auto payout - 0.3BTC

Karma Youtube TipBot- 0.3BTC

The bounties will be adjusted later as the need maybe.

I will now send my share of 10 million karma to the Karma donation address above.

Please help, your small donation will greatly help to raise the value of our coins so that what ever you donate today will result in your holding growth too. And all other projects can move from here on.

-east



Can I donate in October? I want to hold Karma for a month this quarter to get shareholder points. Then I will send some (at least 10mil) Karma for development support.

And do we need a support for the whitepaper too?

I see many great suggestions here, yes it is really enjoying. But we still don't have the white paper, which entails visions and the roadmap of Karma. kosmost, when we will get the white paper? Any ETA?

The one dev that I know could implement something like it, Hiro (our X11 dev), is no longer responding. He's also not responding in his own community (Hirocoin). Not sure what's up, but it seems common in crypto.

It's difficult to complete the whitepaper and confirm 100% that we can do what's in it if he's not responding. Our HR person and community moderator who were tasked with finding resources are also MIA (the former since day 1, actually)

Before we release something that says "the sidechain will be this" we want to be sure 100% that it can be done. Without proper feedback it's not easy.

Hopefully Hiro and other people become get in touch soon. They are the backbone of Karma.
Thanks for the reply kosmost.

I asked friends of mine who own KARM about that they can become shareholders if they hold KARM in their qt wallet at least a month.

All of them don't recognize this fact.

I think one problem is that investors don't know this policy so that they leave their KARM in exchanges. So we should notify about this on BCT main post and other media (such as karmawire).

Another problem imo is that holding a month is a little bit ambiguous, compared with a snapshot. If we take snapshot, we can ask exchanges to take snapshots as like the cases of bter and btc38 (with bitshares). A potential problem can be price fluctuation, but I think this is better than holding-a-month policy because the latter is less clear and hard to cope with exchange problems.

I moved a large portion of my Karm from Mintpal to my qt-wallet a week ago. So if I hold them over 30 days, am I considered to have Karmashare? Do I have to move the rest of Karm from Mintpal? Asking your opinions. Thanks Smiley

You would be considered to also be owning a percentage of the LLC, through share points. Right now the minimum is 10 million coins, and 30+ days for holding for that quarter. (Holding only 30 days would be about 33% of the quarter's share of profits)

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks kosmost! I moved all of my KARM from mintpal to my private wallet. Hopefully I can get a certain percentage of LLC.

In the debug console if you type getinfo you should see there "protocolversion" : 60007.

I had to block many ip's in the firewall with other protocolversion. But this was when I was having problem with sync, not sure if it is the case with staking.

What is your wallet version?


When i type getinfo, i get:

"version" : "v0.1.3.0-g99999-Barwizi",
"protocolversion" : 60006,


Same here

Moreover, the design of the system does not allow for drks to be "lost". The MNs coordinate the signing of transactions, that's all. The coins never leave your possession, AFAICT.  Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this.
You're right, I think my nontechnicalness might be showing through here. Looking back, this guy's DS got stuck: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc4-testing.1830/page-78#post-15361
And: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc4-testing.1830/page-74#post-15210
I believe I misunderstood what happened in these circumstances.
Overall though the DRK were not disappearing nor lost... Poor choice of word on my part.

It should be interesting and amazing to see this thing go live.

Did you mean "collateral payments"?

In the end, I think the cryptocurrency 'format' with the most user-friendly features (as opposed to the most technology advanced) will win. We see this time and time again in different industries, and ours is probably no different.

We have only to realize that we should begin surveying actual potential users to find out what they want in a digital currency, starting with those who might need it most.

There is a reason why alt coins are pump&dump or only dump. Doesn't matter how cool the coin is, how fast it is, how many coins it has, how anonymous it is, what matters is how many people use it. Bitcoin is old, slow, with asic miners. But it is the king of all the coins and will be for very long time. It is not because it was first, but because it has huge backbone of services. People in crypto are not common people, they think different and it is their main disadvantage. Real money is owned by common people. Rich people will not invest if they do not see profit by selling coins to common poeple.  

There is a reason why credit cards are used heavily even with huge fees. Merchants love to pay 3-5% fee, because they know 99% of western world people own credit cards. everyone want to sell rather 100 products with 5% fee than 1 product with 0% fee. I myself love to pay 30% fee to google play for in app purchases. They made payment process so easy, that conversion on google play is multiple times better than on the same product on web. I earn much more on same amount of people paying 30% fees, than paying 5% fees on web apps.

Similar it is with CASH. Why do people hold CASH in banks? There is almost no interst, but there are fees. For most of the people having money in bank is losing money. But having money in bank is comfortable and saver than having them at home. This is the problem of crypto, people are talking we need security, we need anonymity, we need sidechains, we need paper wallets, etc....  WRONG and again WRONG. We need CENTRALIZED trusted services. We need easy to use TRUSTED web services, where people can BUY/SELL/pay with their wallets like in PayPal.  Doesn't matter how fast is confirmation on coin, no coin can be as fast as credit card or PayPal.  This is the reason why BTC is the winner. Coinbase, Bitpay, blockchin.info made it easy to use for merchants and other web developers. They made it easy to use for common people.
Another problem are chargebacks, chargebacks are bad for merchants, but very important for customers. Merchants will not add crypto, if customers do not want it. Hence, there is no other way, than centralized trusted service on top of crypto to maintain chargebacks somehow internally on their virtual wallets.


So I think, do not lose time on tech staff, doesn't matter how cool you make the coin itself, it will not bring the value. It will just bring the story to be used to pump the price on cryptsy chat. And even if you implement something unique, 1 day later will some scammer clone your coin. He will have better pump team, more money for promotion and you will realize you did hard work and he earned your money.

I think we need to create working backbone of API's, libraries, trusted centralized services for easy to integrate payments. We need to give noobs option to play with KARM. Trust me, it is really hard to work with that, even if you have lot of coding exp.

There is no documentation about what are the differences between KARM and BTC. I lost hours studing KARM and BTC code to find out very basic staff. BTC is well documented, we just need documentation about the differences in constants, protocols, addresses and transaction creation. Noone will read KARMA code to implement wallet on his service. Forget that.

With having that documentation, we have to take BTC libraries one by one and clone them to KARM. There is no other way. If we clone them, than all the services using those libraries will implement KARM themself. We have to put those libraries on github, well document them and write tutorials for noobs.

We have to write tutorials and examples how to use them.

We need to create HTML+JS embedable codes with just copy&paste requiremnt, so various blogers, CMS frameworks can implement them easily.


Talking about community work. Karm has big disadvantage, or maybe advantage, that very few people own 50% of all KARM. It is around 500k USD, (in case of enough buying power). Those people are heavily invested and they have 2 options:
1) Ask others to help, which will not work, people do not work for free, especially when they know they are making rich someone else
2) Pay others for the help.  They can pay with KARM. Those very few people does not have enough time and power to make KARM no 1. alt coin, maybe not even no. 10.  It is simple math. If you own assets, worth pottencialy houndred of millions in future, but worth maybe only few BTC now(since there is not enought people to buy it) you should think about those assets as investment. If you do not invest now, you will not earn in future. It is much better to invest 50% and pay pro devs with KARM to make coin 10x valueable fast or you can just hope for pumps or miracles.

From my point of view, I will finish explorer, and maybe I will finish some web wallet. Than I will focus on my BTC projects, if they will work, I will port them to KARM(could never happen). So I am not willing to work on the KARM after. I do not have time for this. I will help somehow, but the devs are 50% owners of KARM, they should do the hard work(or pay for it) to make them wealthy.
 

Great post!

Imo, we should recognize that people spend most of their time playing with a smartphone. If we can integrate smartphone ecosystem into our Karma project, this would be great.
Also, for average Joe and "Jane", earning Karma should be easy and intuitive. If my wife can earn meaningful amount of Karma easily, she will donate, tip, and use it for many purposes.

Ok guys. As an economist, I would like to point out some things here.
What we have here is a very competitive market place. Many altocoins appear daily.
Low barrier to entry witch means that  it is easy for new players to show up.
Furthermore, our market position is weak. We are not Litecoin, or even Dogecoin.
This reduces our possibilities when acting on the market.
Proposal that Kosmost made is a sound one. Still, there are some problems with it. What we are doing here is rebranding the product.
This means we are operating with the same thing, but changing the quantities. In the end it is the same coin. Now, this might move the price, but most likely, users will realize that there is no change, and the price will stay the same. Since our product is inferior on the market, price will actually decrease, like we see with other altcoins. The way to counter this is by innovating and creating new services. Making a change such as this one, without creating a new content will not make a substantial change. The only influence it will have is a psychological one, but in the end, the price will revert even if it goes up.
My suggestion is to launch this change when we publish a whitepaper and present the public with the new ideas we are planning to implement as a community. Then it will have more meaning.

Totally agree with this.
Imo, Karma has a great potential to increase its value, so we don't have to worry about current price and liquidity.
Let market recognize the value of Karma (e.g. releasing the white paper, developing sidechain, etc.). Then the price will follow.
(I believe that Karma will overtake Doge in market cap. That means 40 satoshi per KARM)

****** Please Update To 10.12.18 or 9.12.18 *******

This version uses the new queuing system to seek out compatible transactions (where the same denominations are used). It's also enforcing these limitations now, so it might be a bit slower.

All transactions after this should look like this one:

No luck, just getting application crashes on launch.

Tried a few different PC's...

Don't stress it's not worth the effort, only 3k NRS...

Me too, when I delete all thing in %appdata%\noirshares but wallet.dat
