"In Crypto, the competition is not each other, it is fiat. If any Crypto does well, we all benefit." --Jl777

We are among like-minded people in the KMD community, most realize this is much more than just 'investing'.

Good luck, time for me to disappear and dive deep for a while Smiley




I don't agree with everything this P-Trump guy says or does, but I think he has his heart in the right place for KMD, and it looks like he did what he said he would do and tried to vote in some independent candidates for notary spots. Next election I really hope community pools idea takes off, maybe 50:50 split between operator and voters, that might get 2-3 NN positions. Plenty of time now before next election, just need some guys with sys admin experience to run the nodes, and a pool organiser.

I do not see any further development of the project, I see only one promise, but months pass and so nothing changes, in the near future one more dead coin will be more.

Really its strange that up until now the team don't seem it necessary to communicate with community members here, i mean, i see how supporters of this project constantly update each other here and ask question regarding Sirius but not much is coming from dev team, really sad Sad
I don't see much on discord channel either, dev team you need to be more active in community and give update about progress of project and possibly nest distribution phase, i miss the first phase i thought i could catch the next one but things ain't really looking as expected Cheesy still will be waiting for update.

Let's hope it's a case of quiet before the storm, but the lack of communication is a worry. The devs got some cash from their exchange listing 'donations', but probably not enough to justify an exit scam as such. I suspect these guys aren't full time crypto , and they've gotten bogged down in other commitments. Time will tell, but a few lines of communication in this thread only takes 5-10 minutes.

I wonder if this is related to the hack in any way, like when politicians cite 'family reasons' as the reason why they quit were dumped. I honestly don't know enough back story to judge if this is genuine sideways move into something they wanted to do, or a smoke screen to cover the stab marks on their backs.

Jeff Mcdonald cited health. And if you look at him he's become increasingly haggard as time has passed. Lon Wong always said he'd be stepping aside in 2019. I suppose that Proximax thing took up more time than he expected so did it early.

Ok, thanks for that information, I didn't know Jeff Mcdonald had any health issues, hope he gets well.

NEM is still one of the best managed crypto around, and change to bring in fresh legs with new ideas and enthusiasm is a good thing. Every organisation needs regeneration to prevent problems.

Idea For A Sustainable Alternative To The Signature Campaign To Airdrop Remaining Bytes

I have been following Byteball for some time and I think the end of free coins just by holding the balance was the right decision. However, I do not like the new way to award coins for posts via a signature campaign. Apart from the fact that the benefit to the project should be limited, users who have high levels and probably already own Bytes are preferred. To get new users -- which should be the goal -- this way is rather not sustainable.

So I have another suggestion where everyone can participate and do something good. I have long been an active member of WorldCommunityGrid where you can leverage your free computing power for meaningful projects and research, e.g. fighting cancer and diseases, and other important things. The software of WorldCommunityGrid named BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) is quick and easy to install (all major operating systems and mobile phones are supported). Anyone can set up the software in a few minutes and contribute processing power.

My idea: why do not we start a WorldCommunityGrid (WCG) Byteball team. For calculating small tasks, participants receive WCG points automatically. Via a Byteball bot, members can connect their Byteball address with their WCG username, and then receive free bytes from the bot - say, once a week - depending on the amount of WCG points earned. WCG provides a simple API with which the data can be read into the Byteball DAG via an oracle.

The effort is not big. In principle, only the bot would have to be written. I would have liked to set the task, but unfortunately I'm not a great NodeJs programmer.

If possible, the bot could also accept donations, so that the campaign could also be supported by donations and not only by the remaining bytes to be distributed. I would give a donation myself.

Do good and get bytes!
What do you think about the idea?

This is a great idea!  We'll do it.

Wow, this is unexpected BUT great news, well done Tony.

I think WCG and Boinc will be a great adoption boost for BB, lots of new people will hear of byteball, maybe try and get BB used as a tipping currency in their community, give their moderators some balls to play with.
425  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][KMD][dPoW] Komodo - Zcash Zero Knowledge Privacy Secured by Bitcoin on: April 03, 2018, 09:21:19 AM

In the native mode, no seed is given to you. For example, if my computer is confiscated by the police, since my wallet.dat file has no password, they can spend my coins easily. It is very strange that the JL777 has considered infinite options for Komodo platform, while has not paid attention to such an important option!

I'm not a troll. I only have a lot of Komodo coins and I want to keep it in a full node and fully secure wallet. The password setting option is one of the most basic necessities of a wallet in the crypto world.


After every use I encrypt my wallet.dat, then my coins are safe. I do that with all wallet.dat files. The other option is using the command line to export your private keys into a safe place like a keypass, then you can delete wallet.dat, BUT, be careful you get priv key for every address.

Having spv & native mode is very convenient and adds options, but you need to understand how they differ to avoid making an assumption that loses coins, like assuming your native mode priv keys are derived from the spv seed.

Be careful out there!

"Dear NEM Community,

We wanted to share today that Lon Wong and Jeff McDonald will be moving from their positions on the NEM.io Foundation and shifting to advisory roles. Kristof Van de Reck has been elected as the interim President of the NEM.io Foundation.

With the early phase of the Catapult private beta release safely underway, Lon and Jeff plan to now focus on NEM’s business partners. These startups and consultants are needed to implement NEM applications worldwide. The NEM ecosystem is thriving and by moving to advisory roles, Lon and Jeff can dedicate more time to developing strong system integrators - a critically underserved piece of NEM’s ecosystem.

On behalf of the NEM.io Foundation we want to share our gratitude for the invaluable contributions of Lon and Jeff. Thanks to their leadership the NEM.io Foundation has built an amazing list of accomplishments and has a bright future ahead.

Our key developers, business partners, and management team are 100% committed to NEM’s success. NEM is leading the industry in terms of proven blockchain business use cases and there’s a lot of good news coming.

Please extend a warm thank you to Lon and Jeff, and congratulations to Kristof! We plan to release more updates and a statement from Kristof in the coming days.

The more I study this project the more I like it. Tell me,  how can I participate in this project without investing personal funds?


You could create some BTT forum accounts, make a lot of pointless posts to get your post count up, join some signature campaigns, and then use the sig bounty $$ to buy some XEL. Sounds pretty stupid, but guess what, I'm literally doing this right now, and getting ~100 USD a week for posting 25 times with this BYteball signature. It's the only way to make any money in crypto from scratch, that's why this forum is full of posts like yours, and replies like mine!

edit, I will use my bounty to buy XEL, that makes the effort worthwhile

Glad to see this coin falling deeper and deeper into the red.
While I never like to see projects fail, this one is about as close to a scam as possible.
I understand the creator, Reggie Middleton, has some experience and success, but he's a weird guy and his facebook only proves this.
The guy can't keep his shirt on in any of his pics, which is not only creepy but... but...why should we trust him?

Hey man, the envy is oozing of every word in your post, so what, reggie has abs in his late 40's, and doesn't mind showing them off on his facebook. Who cares ... I do, my nipples are so hard looking at those pics I could take someones eye out. Yeah, come to think of it, Reggie, put a shirt on ... and drop your shorts next time Smiley
429  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Qora | POS | Assets | Names | Polls | Automated Transactions | Social Network on: April 03, 2018, 07:43:20 AM
still do not know how it will go to qora v1 fork, snapshot anything? It took a lot of time, there is chaos in information nothing more: /


I don't know why you keep thinking there is going to be a fork on Gen 1 relaunch. There is not. The only time there will be a swap, is when we launch Gen 2, which still will not be a fork, it will be a new chain entirely.

At that time, we will discuss the swap.

Never been a fan of swaps. Never have. Never will.

Swaps can be useful some times , I expect there will be a lot of qora in accounts that never get swapped, these unclaimed coins can then be put to good use. As long as there is plenty of time set aside for the swap, it's a victimless crime in a way, the rightful owner won't mind and won't know, and the community remaining can use the coins for dev costs & marketing. Some won't like this idea, but unswapped coins are a valuable resource.

What about community pools?

Community pools make sense to me but probably not enough time to get them up and running for this election. I would not set one up myself but would support them if they needed it, but I doubt that would be the case now, the election results seem to show that candidates offering some rev shares did pretty well, and I don't see that trend changing next year.

I would suggest pools offer a tiered rev share structure based on kmd price, at current prices some NN will not be that profitable, and if prices drop further the critical goal is keeping the NN up and running, not paying out rev shares. Next election I think we will see more thought put into rev share formulas.

Having top 30 operators run again and secure multiple NN's is not ideal IMO, but perfectly acceptable in a competitive process, and this happened this year to some extent. I would never advocate trying to ban this, but I do like having countervailing forces at work to push back the other way towards increasing the number of single node operators, and community pools can help do that.

The network can run perfectly fine with a small number of operators running multiple notaries, but the benefits of having more talented people with income sources working in the ecosystem should be obvious to everyone, and notary operators obviously do more than just run notary nodes.


Next year we'll probably see a few legit business entities running candidates, maybe like a franchise of independent operators running under a common name with some shared infrastructure. That would be ok IMO, but I hope a few community pools run also.

If you're thinking of running next year I can tell you now:
- if you run a NN in the top 30 from the previous year I won't consider you
- if you run in 3 or 4 regions I wont consider you
- if you successfully participate in testnet and show you have skills to run a NN I will read your proposal
- I strongly favor single region independent candidates, I would try to avoid sock puppets
- if you offer some rev share to voters I will be 'grateful' and add you to my shortlist
- it's not simply who offers the largest rev share, 10% and up would get you on my shortlist, then I pick the best overall candidate(s)


What about community pools?

This. Distribute the rest of the bytes through POW (This is essentially what this method is - POW). Love the idea behind helping charity/s as well

we need more ideas for adoption than for distribution.

WCG would help adoption too, lots of people do it, most crypto guys would love PoW to be meaningful computations.

Give people a chance to make some money doing something 'Good' and it could go viral in the WCG community.

ballstothewalltoo.

If you are seeing red flags and if you can't get any satisfaction from the Veritaseum team, perhaps it is best to sell your tokens and move on to something else. I believe it should not matter to you what others may think of Veritaseum as only you decide where to put your money.

I will keep my VERI tokens and give the team time to move things forward.

Cheers.

No debate on the raised issues? Blind faith or sell your tokens? Or have I missed the point?

Balls makes some good points, but nobody can give you anything other than an opinion on what's going on. I have faith in Reggie, but the SEC could easily cut his plans off at the knees, and if that means he has to invoke plan b, or even plan c, things can get rough but Veri can still pull through. Whole crypto movement is under attack now, including projects like veritaseum, an SEC crack down is a certainty, but Reggie is well placed to navigate the outcome,

This guy offered bounties to DOX other devs, what if some of those people decided it was justified to do the same back to him? I'm not saying i think they should, but he dumped so much hatred on bitshare devs, and supernet , and NXT, and IOTA, and Rchain ... If this guy is just trying to milk a joke project one more time with his last post, then maybe he gets some karma. Not from me, he never trolled me, but I do find his posting memes of a devs girlfriend disturbing.

Listen, let's at least honor Greg's gender neutral political correctness... Even though Stani was the mother of his kids and they weren't officially married, she's not Greg's girlfriend.  She was his "life partner" who got sick of his worthless ass and ran for it once she broke her Stockholm syndrome.  I'll leave it to the reader to determine who was the male and female in that "relationship".

Who'd I offer a bounty on to DOX?  Everyone knew about Stan and Dan Larimer (father/son) and their Chicom backers were behind the Bitsnares, Protoshares, Angelshares, Steem, and EOS scams.  Jared Mimms was the crazy kid who did the "Supernet" (aka StupidNet).  The fags who took over NXT and destroyed it are well known.  IOTA is perpetrated by that international communist scumbag David Sonstebo.  RChain is run by the weenie ass hippy Lucius Gregory Meredith and his other druggie friends.  I never needed to DOX anyone, and I never put a bounty out for a DOX.

You offered a bounty to DOX jl777, who is NOT Jared Mimms.

If you deliver a viable project I'll be the first to congratulate you, but I'm skeptical, you only seem motivated by hate and jealousy now, and humor troll ranting.  I'd say the likelihood of you having a mental illness is very high, that doesn't mean you can't deliver something usefuļ , but it does explain your behaviour.
