I am staking my BAY on the Windows QT wallet.  Will this be sufficient to be included in the snapshot?

is David away at the moment?

Do you have in mind any marketing campaign to boost the marketplace? I had in mind selling all kind of Bitbay marketing products (the marketplace should be already full of that stuff), a kind of happy hour buying time, discounts for people with more than a certain amount of coins (for holders)...

what is the slack url??

We tried to speak to him about this a year ago. We stopped getting responses, we know he is getting them as he selectively responds, we are talking about when this should all take place now. It was only when Janko brought up that he will be forking Blackcoin for new updates that he came back.

Rereading what he said, I think he is done with development on the original wallet.

ok so I followed the support guys idea set up a new wallet different dir new temp keys then open old keys in that wallet. that did not work. but for some reason it fixed the first wallet. bam my coins are here. thanks for your help

agreed I'm missing something. how can I get you the log and txt files to you. just copy and paste the content in a message or is there a way to attach a file. also where does it save the debug.txt to and what debug.log do you want I found 2 in different dir

1. as a developer I don't think you will find one post on this board from me making one criticism about you. YOu will however find a lot of praise. I base the entire reason for supporting bitbay on the developer.

2. Fads are another way of saying what the people believe they want and need at the time. They pump all their investment into projects even mentioning these new latest and greatest ideas. As to dag, hashgraphs, hash matrix, bla bla all this new greater than blockchain designs ... who even knows if their benefits out weight their weaknesses as yet. However for a time anything mentioning these just got injections of 100's of millions. As you say these will probably die out again over time ready for the next fad to sweep in. Meantime xrb iota all in the billions whilst bay stuck at 70m.
I see burst now added some dag to their dimaxion road map. You can be sure when people catch on to that it will start to pump. Sure some fads are not going to be possible to incorp into the design but any that are we should latch on to those and put them in the road map at once. It is simply a free boost in investment and community support.

3. I still think we should have conducted an ico when i said about it when other coins were doing the same thing... taking good projects and re stocking them with development funding and attention like lisk , komodo etc. Bay is just as good as those projects and we would have a development pot of millions of USD and a bigger community. Even particl tried it but they did it to late to have a big effect like the others who did it earlier. Also the way they did it kind of did as much damage to their community as good.

4. Good to hear the super whales are helping new development for me the development is pretty much fine but the marketing is dreadful still. I see it as only common sense that if the project offers more for the buck than any other project yet is still crushed down nearly out of the top 200 now then the marketing is not only weak it is dreadful. If we can prove this is the best project out there for the money then people will flock in to it. Munti did help bump the real projects thread and so did one or 2 others. Are we saying that the entire community is only 3 or 4 people? What are the other 1600 on slack doing apart from chatting on there? Let's bring even 50 of them to constantly post and bump bitbay threads that demonstrate clearly bitbay is the project to invest in at this time and you will see a dramatic increase in bay interest from the entire board.  I start to actually believe 80% of this board are fake members or even worse. I mean if you post a thread challenging the entire board to ID real projects with just a few criteria to meet and you get nothing ? I mean literally no other projects were added except like 2 or 3 other than the first ones I listed myself after 9000 views?  So out side of the top 10 there are only 8 real projects as defined by the criteria in the OP? Well if that is true (and the top 10 is riddled with manipulated scams anyway) then why is bay community not pushing that thread to stay on page 1 full time? I mean if even just a large slice of all new investment was directed to those (and bay is the top listed project) bay would be way way way more popular than it is now. I do not see how the bitbay marketing team has not realised that the main board on this forum is just like pure gold and totally free? all it takes is a bit of effort.

As to all these other posters that are promoting bay on this board can you direct me to their posts? I would like to perhaps collaborate with these people to get a solid thread going for bitbay and keep it active full time. I mean I am scanning this board for hours most days and I have missed these other posts it seems. There was one good comparison thread between sys and bay and that was good and got us some attention. However i consider such a thread to usually sadly decend into a war between the 2 projects even though we try to keep it factual and civil. Both of those are good projects so turning it to a battle is not always the best way forward . I think highlighting bay in amongst other good projects is by far the best way demonstrating all meet the criteria of having good dev teams that have already produced software that delivers. If you try and highlight bay alone that is just a spam really all real projects must be included and bay has nothing to fear from being in such company i think bay is still very strong up against even the other real projects here.

5. those people saying they are done with bay of course are just frustrated and us long term holders from the original ico (not sure how many original holders are still active) have seen the project constantly updating and going forward and realise the time scale needed to actually code out working software and features compared to marketing these features in a future road map that will never happen. Sadly most new investors do not realise that whitepapers and roadmaps are not the same as designing and coding it out and what you can SAY your project will have can take YEARS to design and code out. That is something that needs pushing in their face 24/7 on the main board. We not only need to highlight bitbay has working functioning software. We need to highlight that many many projects way above us do NOT have and are NOT anywhere near to having functioning designs and even IF they do ever have them these designs are not even battle tested and proven to have any real benefits over what we already have.

If people on this board were more educated in their selection of projects you would see most investment going to bitbay and a handful of other projects.

the entire market has corrected hard.

i think it can be better than both of those actually i don't dare use alibaba as it is but if it had dde then i would consider it for sure

Bitbay is not good as capturing the latest fads and using them to gain popularity... we miss every fad as it comes and goes. I mean many that put these fads on their road maps remove them when they later lose popularity anyway.

Latest fad is dag, hashgraphs, exotic sharding methods anything that is a bit different from btc. If we announced something like this the market would go crazy for bitbay.  

When btc is given a few work arounds to stop it getting jammed up and reduce fees ie LN then all the fuss about moving past blockchain to " other" methods will die down again or perhaps it will not.


We simply need more comparison threads that are kept on the front page of the main board highlighting bitbay and how much functionality you get for your buck.. most other projects have no answer to this question that is our strong point. It is a bargain project nobody can really compare. The main board is a total and utter dream marketing zone. This is super targeted noob central looking for new projects bay should be on there full time in their face.

I started a real projects thread and put bay on the top. But nobody except a couple of people bothered keeping discussion going on it. It brought attention to 8 real players out of thousands but still the bay community hides up on slack hoping for people to find it by total miracle. We have apparently an entire marketing team yet not one keeps this thread on the first few pages or helps with bumping threads on the main board. I have no idea where they are marketing and who too.  There are whales with millions upon millions of bitbay - use some of those to employ people to put effort into marketing bitbay else your millions will never be worth 10% of what they should be if the project was given some real attention here.

We need to build a team of people with a real skillset and good at what they do. If they need to be incentivised then that is what needs to be done.

market client version 1.29 is what I'm running. block total matches the block explorer. both keys are loaded and wallet is unlocked. the coins show on the block explorer but not in the wallet. I have deleted the block chain and re synced but still nothing. I always have 8 connections. I rescanned took about 15 mins and still nothing. when I synced the block chain I downloaded the block chain and extracted it to the data folder and that put me at 84% right off the batt. should I delete it and resync the old fashiond way.

yes fully synced. I'm using client version windows 10. the block explorer shows the amout in the address but the wallet is not picking it up. I tried rescanning a few times but nothing.

so I downloaded the wallet synced it up and for some reason my coins are not showing up. the block explorer shows they are at my address but the wallet does not. I have tried rescanning a few times but still nothing any ideas.

Thanks for the reply I can't really help you with setting up your computer's time (maybe set it to manual would be a solution ?)

As for your fund transfer its easily solvable. 

Don't try to send a new transaction as you will get the same exact problem (unless you correct your computers clock)
The long number you pasted is the signed transaction and just needs to be broadcasted.
The signed transaction time is already passed so it should be accepted by the network right now.
Anyone can send/broadcast this transaction and it can't be modified (as its already signed and if modified the signature will not verify).

You can easily do it from the web interface going to web wallet menu > broadcast.
You don't need to use your email/pass to login you can just go straight to broadcast panel.
Paste the transaction in the textbox and after pressing submit you should get a txid which means you are all set.

For the near future we are planning already a change in how the web wallet is calculating the transaction time and this will effectively resolve problems relating to computers with wrong clock date/times

These updates are nice,but there should be priority shift to rolling peg.  It's the only thing that can help in this market, and a grand opportunity to step in while tether potentially implodes.  Any other updates, wont' even make a blip in this market.

This seems interesting but a little abstract to me is there any better explanation to this: https://bitbay.market/dynamic-peg

What i want to know is how this works i will use round numbers for that purpose in this example:

Put for example that a user has 1000 bays in his wallet and the current market value to USD is 1:1.
In that case  how much of this amount is locked in the reserve?!
Or how much is immediately locked into reserve if a user buys 1000 bays from an exchange an send to his wallet?!

In case of value rise to for example 2:1 i suppose that then half of the amount will be locked that means 500 bays right?
But what happens to the funds locked in Double Deposit Escrow or any other contract that were stipulated before the coin has risen?
Will the collaterals also get halved and put into reserve automatically or how this should work?

Thanks.
