Is it Bittrex insiders buying before listing? Or what's happening?
42  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is any crypto truly scalable to a global scale? BTC, ETH, IOTA, DCR, PIVX...? on: July 02, 2017, 10:04:55 PM
8.  Miners don't have anything to do with scalability...they just produce the blocks.  The problem is the architecture of a block chain.   Mainly the issue is that when blocks get past a certain size (say 1GB for arguments sake) it takes longer than 10 minutes for that block to make its way to all nodes in the network.  By then ANOTHER block is produced, which also takes longer than 10 mins, then another, then another.  All the nodes just end up collecting blocks and (potentially) reorganizing the chain. At this point it all grinds to an almost halt.

When you say all nodes, do you mean solo miners and pools? Being a solo miner (that doesn't go bankrupt in the first week) in a coin that has enough transactions to require 1GB blocks is a multi-million (or perhaps even multi-billion) dollar business. They can afford faster internet connections. Pools can afford faster connections as well.

No deposit issues. Guess people aren't selling.

Note: reading QR codes doesn't work in the latest windows version of electrum, but works in the linux version.

On Linux (at least on my Mint KDE 18.1) I have to go to Tools-Preferences-Appearance and change the video device choice to default and then back to my actual webcam before I try to read any QR code, otherwise the Electrum wallet will crash. This back and forth switching has to be done before every QR read.

After the stealth ICO raising only 500BTC (mostly to insiders and themselves)

it was announced 4 weeks before it started on this very board, IDIOT!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1216479.0;topicseen

and then it was open for another 4 weeks for everyone, IDIOT!

Shhhh fool this has been covered many times before.
It was not advertised and raised magnitudes less than all the other ICO's running at that time since hardly anyone knew it was running.

It was recognised as a stealth ico scam in the last poll. I will run another poll if you want more proof.

Do you think a highly hyped up ICO with marketing and advertising to collect as much as possible would've been more responsible? All these projects are high risk, I think it's very irresponsible and borderline insanity to hold ICOs with only a promise that collect tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars from gullible speculators who don't understand what they are buying into.

IOTA ICO wasn't hyped, so you had to be interested in the tech itself instead of getting excited by pie-in-the-sky promises of the marketing people and FOMO hype of the sig campaign sock puppets. IOTA has different breed of investors than your regular hype scam ICO, which is fine, all kinds of different projects and diversity are needed so the evolution can happen.
46  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why I'm Long and Bullish on BitBay on: June 14, 2017, 04:50:55 AM
I've recently conducted over 10 trades on the BitBay marketplace using the contract that has BAY tokens as escrow collateral, and it was very useful for avoiding 3rd party escrow agents which I wouldn't have known who to trust anyway, and they could run with the money just like anyone else. They only have their reputation to lose, whereas with double deposit escrow they lose money if they scam.

So yeah, it's not vaporware, it can be used now. Still quite a bit of work to be done with ease of use before your every day user can start using it, but that's what's being done over at Bay every day.

Point of sale

The only way this is possible is because there is total collusion between the very few people that bought this.

This is manipulation and collusion at its finest.

People have been trading it during the last months in Slack using a trading bot. If I remember correctly, there were over 1000 people with a balance > 0 at some point.
49  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: IOTA on: June 13, 2017, 03:13:50 PM
How the hell does that even happen overnight?

It doesn't. IOTA was released 1.5 years ago.

Without getting into too much detail and jeopardizing our IP, there are a number of ways to reduce the supply without hair cutting wallets (which would be a TERRIBLE solution!!).

Freezing a percentage of the supply from moving has already been discussed in public on this forum so I take it that isn't one of the ways you're referring to?

52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: RadixDLT (formerly eMunie) Discussion on: June 11, 2017, 03:29:58 PM
Your holding account will get more coins if the value "goes up", but what if it "goes down", will coins be deducted from your account?

Sounds like a nightmare from tax accounting/bookkeeping perspective.

In my 2.3 wallet I had around 23 iota and I upgraded to 2.5 version and was about to transfer my Iota from slack to this wallet but now wallet shows zero. And all my earlier transactions are not showing. It looks like a new account. Anyone else also facing these issues?

Is this wallet still not stable yet?

This is the latest release https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/releases/tag/v2.3.0

Where do you see a version 2.5? You need to generate some adresses after login with your old seed.

I have the same problem. wallet is empty no transaction record. any advise?


Generate enough addresses, and your balance should reappear ...

Is this a bug in their system? Are they very sure that these lost iotas will recover back by everyone? Because if anyone got a lot of iotas in their wallet and they don't see them in the wallet it will be a big shock to new investors. After waiting my more than one hour time I get back my iotas.

It's not a bug per se. The wallet could be a bit more informative, but the wallet is a reference client after all, it's as simple as can be. The dev team provides basic functionality, and other wallet creators can add more sugar on top.

Your seed is a source of an almost infinite number of deterministic addresses. When you ask your seed for address #1, it will always give the same address. When you ask it for address #2, it will always give the same address. Also, when you send IOTA tokens, the change amount goes to the next address, for example #3. Now all your balance is in address #3.

When you delete the database and install a new version (or install IOTA to a new computer), it doesn't know which addresses you have already pulled from the seed, so it will display address #1, which is empty, as your tokens are on address #3. Now you need to generate the address #2, and finally address #3 before you get to the address holding your tokens.
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: IOTA :: Buying / Selling on: June 05, 2017, 07:44:51 PM
I'm selling 1,000 Miota for 8,000 BitBay (~0.07 BTC at the time of writing this) on the BitBay decentralized marketplace using unbreakable double deposit escrow smart contract. It is a trustless way of making a trade without any 3rd party escrow agents.

If you want to buy, download and install BitBay market client from the OP of this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=890531
Let it sync, and check the Market tab for the IOTA offer.

I will probably sell a few more batches depending on how this first sale goes.

Sold the first batch successfully. I placed another identical offer 1000 Miota for 8000 BAY (~0.07 BTC) on the market. As I see IOTA trading for 0.15 BTC for 1000 Miota I will be gradually raising the price towards the same region, so the faster you grab 'em the cheaper you'll get 'em.


I downloaded bitbay and started it.  This is what I'm looking at
Code:
$ ./bitbayd
block.GetHash() == 0000075685d3be1f253ce777174b1594354e79954d2a32a6f77fe9cba00e6467
block.GetHash() == 0000075685d3be1f253ce777174b1594354e79954d2a32a6f77fe9cba00e6467
block.GetHash() == 0000075685d3be1f253ce777174b1594354e79954d2a32a6f77fe9cba00e6467
waiting for something to happen now; it's taking a while.  Is this what I should be seeing, and is it going to finish synching eventually?  There's no indication that anything is happening.

Download the Market Client (not the QT wallet) from http://bitbay.market/downloads/ or from the link in the OP https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=890531 and run ./BitBay.sh no need to run the daemon by itself.

I believe he once said that if he stops posting it means he is working. So yes, he is working hard at the moment.

The Reward System is changing to

Masternodes 45 / Miner 45 /  Dev 10


That was a reason for me to sell all my CHC.

Which part you didn't like? The masternode, miner, or the dev part?

Selling IOTA tokens

I'm selling 1,000 Miota (= 1,000,000 IOTA tokens) for 8,000 BitBay (~0.07 BTC at the time of writing this) on the market.

I will probably sell a few more batches if this first one completes successfully.

I'm asking someone trustworthy to vet this offer I made if there is any way I could be scamming. I'm asking this for a potential buyer who is a bit hesitant as he is new to BitBay.

1,000 Miota (= 1Giota) is not 1,000,000 IOTA but 1,000,000,000 IOTA.
1,000,000 IOTA are worth 0.2$ atm.

But ofc you know this.

Yes good catch, fixed my original posts.

59  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: - AURORACOIN - on: June 04, 2017, 06:58:06 PM
No I'm not. According to doc/build-unix.md the dependency is on libdb4.8 which is what I have.

Yes, you are. The doc is wrong also. I know, because I also had that error with 4.8.

But by all means, continue with your errors & ignore the answer.

Just trying to help.

Thank you for the help. However, can someone from the dev team confirm the documentation is wrong? I really wouldn't want to mess up my system installing other versions of the db because all other wallets want 4.8 for compatibility reasons.

Fresh Mint KDE 18.1 virtual machine, git cloned https://github.com/aurarad/auroracoin/

Did this:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

Running ./configure fails with this error:
Code:
configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing
Code:
$ locate libdb_cxx
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.a
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.la
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.so
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.so
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx.a
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx.so

How to fix?

You're using the wrong DB.

No I'm not. According to doc/build-unix.md the dependency is on libdb4.8 which is what I have.
