As a developer for Bitcoin Classic, and co-Chief Architect along with jstolfi, you should have input into the message stored in the Classic "genesis block" that will be produced in a few months.
Oops, thanks for reminding me. The Toomims tasked me with doing something momentous that will be the headline of /The Times/ on the launch date. Maybe start a war, find Elvis, or commandeer a UFO to abduct the Pope from a nudist beach and demand ransom in bitcoin. Only that it will not be a Genesis block, of course, but a Nativity block. Ooooh Nativity blocks! Our Bitcoin is much more enlightened with 2 MB Nativity blocks.  |

I guess siameze, you can delete your negative feedback now?  A lo mejor, si. You are making good effort to fix things. People will find you much more trustworthy if you would sign you Windows binaries and such. It's just professional. |

Do you have a link where I can read more about that Siameze? (I am the truly paranoid  ) We've done all we can with the Cryptsy mega-wallet initiative for the time being, it's out of our hands for now. So it's time that we start new initiatives. A lot of great ideas have been proposed in the past, let's make some of them happen step by step. Here are my 3 goals for the next couple months. 1) Reduce the now-largest functional exchange wallet: Bittrex. It currently stands at around 12,009. Crypto.id did have the correct balance in its largest-wallet section but one of the addresses was disconnected for some reason. It's still listed as the second largest wallet but here's the address that is also controlled by Bittrex: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/uno/address.dws?201338.htm Bittrex balance below 10,000 coins by my 'exchange balances update' on March 25th, 2016. That gives us ~9 weeks to purchase & move 2,000 coins to personal wallets. 2) Get our toes wet with micro-scale advertising. BitcoinNational has pledged 1 UNO for my stream advertising campaign. It will cost 0.01 UNO per hour per 1,000 followers. I'm going to use a service to stream on multiple websites at the same time. I currently have 162 followers on Twitch, 1 on Hitbox & 0 on Youtube (just started last night on the latter 2.) So B.N's 1 UNO will get 613 hours of screen time at $0.002/hr (hopefully it will be significantly less than that as I accumulate followers). I highlighted in red the regions that would be available for a "Sponsored by Unobtanium" logo https://i.imgur.com/oUUApIG.jpg. If someone with some graphic design skills (BlueMan?) wanted to whip up an image of appropriate size it would be much appreciated, I would prefer it to be in the taskbar area. The phrase doesn't need to be "Sponsored by Unobtanium", it could be "Profits stored as UNOBTANIUM" or "I support Unobtanium", anyone have thoughts about the phrasing? I will also put an UNO donation address and some important links in my profiles. Obviously I don't expect it to create results immediately, but in 2 years I may be playing high stakes games online to 5,000 followers (we could re-negotiate a lower rate at that point) which would generate enough awareness to bring in a few more hardcore hoarders like myself. B.N. and any others who wish to fund this initiative can send the funds to: uZN4oRU1vLntKcojBJrK5pFpsyVqbN1D1p Hopefully one day we'll see that advertising initiative scaled up to things like internet ads, BlueMan's trailer-truck signage or other creative ideas. 3) Improve our exchange presence. A) The market on safecex is actually looking healthy: https://safecex.com/market?q=UNO/BTC 0.5 bitcoin of volume today and a good looking order book. Let's make sure that exchange is listed on our coinmarketcap.com markets page, on this bitcointalk thread front page & unobtanium.uno (unless this exchange proves to be sketchy). B) Get listed on a decentralized &/or high-volume &/or CNY exchange (other than bitebi9). Poloniex, BTC38, BTER, openledger, NXTsecureAE, etc. Sure, PM me a link to your GPG key and I'll send them out to you. |

Guys , I think many of you are starting to see the protection that fly gives. I can hardly name any coins that have not lost most/all of their value. When all other alts are falling apart and losing 95% of their value, FLY is still growing strong, and if you use it, the way its meant to be used (Hold long term), there are big profits to be made.
Vegas
That is quite true. I am holding other coins and the fall in price has been big. Plus, flycoin has staked two times for me today even though I do not own that much (about 7.9). Let's keep going fly! Ya Know there a reason dat Math is important. Fly MK in OCT 2015 was $ 312,071 . Now Fly MK is $ 99,002. fer da mathematically challenge, that means Fly Price has divided in 3 in ~3 months, fer a over $212,000 LOSS!Dat a Major Loss any way ya look at it. Ya know Tradin Volume shows interest , dis is da interest in Fly in the past 24 hours Volume (24h)
$ 0
Tune in next week ta see if Vegas can convince Fly holders he really does Shit GOLD! Same Fly Time, Same FLY CHANNEL!!!  Just Sayin, AG18 On the off chance you find the exchange wallet actually working so you can trade. |

Thanks for the advice Cryptapus. I do have some funds in Electrum, and I'll move any Unobtanium that I buy in the future into multisig. However, I feel confident with my brain wallet entropy. The funds are divided across many addresses, each with long, random word sets, some of the words very uncommon, some numbers, symbols, etc. The phrases certainly have more entropy than an Electrum or Ledger seed phrase. I created the addresses in an isolated, offline Tails session (you say that Tails air-gapped doesn't matter with brain wallets but it must protect against 1) keyloggers on main OS & 2) maybe monitoring of the TOR exit node.) I backed up the phrases in encrypted flash drives that are stored in multiple locations & included a paper backup that is locked somewhere away from my residence. Even the paper backup is recorded in such a way that if someone somehow accessed the box they would not easily see the phrases, if they did see them they would not know what they were looking at, but if they happened to be some genius Unobtanium geek who hunted down & cracked my safe they wouldn't be able to directly convert the phrases to private keys. Because my phrases were so lengthy and complex, I realized that the risk of recording a phrase wrong was greater than the risk of having it hacked, so I meticulously reproduced the resulting keys & compared them symbol-by-symbol to the recorded copy before sending funds to the address. Overall, my Unobtanium is at least as secure as any other address out there (Unless I missed a key detail somewhere). The only step I didn't take is getting a bodyguard or a gun to protect against rubber hose cryptography  My pseudoanonymity online & silence regarding this to all the people I know in person protects against that, plus it's not even a lot of money, hopefully one day it will be though! Yes I'm a little crazy, but this is serious shit, we're building something awesome here! you can cat the contents of your wallet seeds into an encrypted qr code also, adding yet another layer. (For the truly paranoid). |

New exchange, safecex.com, has a HAM/Btc pair.
Sorry IMZ, I had to laugh at the mention of safecex Clever branding. C-Cex always sounded a bit too obstetrician-y to me If HAM goes PoS or hybrid, gonna have to stick to BTC for the airwaves tho  |

Seems it kinda died. I bought a bunch of coins so I could test the platform, it was kinda fun. The Firefox extension never panned out because of some code insecurities. They have an extension that does the same thing with Bitcoin, iirc. I was going to use it in a project I was working on, but the individuals that hired me dropped their project too so I haven't reviewed it in weeks. Not dead but sleeping. Firefox users can use the miniWallet which is on the website to send tips. But this did not catch on. So we need to change the concept. Keep your coins for now. Hah nice to know you are still around. I'm still hodlin' my coins, have spread few around every couple of weeks. Twas' a shame about the miniWallet didn't catch on I like the overall concept so it will find it's place. It's a nice way to send a few bits without need for centralized services like changetip, it could conceivably eliminate the need for shapeshift. |

Would be cool to have something that creates a time sequence chart of the spreads and does an analysis with the time sequence of the volatility to determine the optimal values for entering at. I think this could be run separate from the actual program (but with something in the program that could reference to it), just as something to find trends, and then update your spread values after each arbitrage (after each new learning opportunity to update it after already learning from the past). Another thing would be for when you go long; to check and see if the value of bitcoin actually increased in percentage more than the spread you entered at so you could automatically resell on the same exchange if it ever goes above a certain value/parameter you could input. Like an option to automatically pull away from neutrality if its in our benefit. Perhaps I only say this because I still don't understand the program well enough. And a question: would it be at all beneficial to know the number of trades in the cue, and any info about blocktime that could possibly be correlated in predicting volatility or other factors? I am still a total newb (only been googling about this stuff for a few days. Started at r/personalfinance and wound up on quite an adventure). Is it possible to incorporate techniques from this into what you guys are doing in C++? https://github.com/ericjang/cryptocurrency_arbitrageWelcome this is a nice project. I started trying to graph a few things using perl's Graph::Easy module. Haven't got it tweaked how I want it yet. |

[...]
1) organizational structure and people are two different things - yes, I'm not asking people to trust me -- I'm asking them to judge me on the actions I've actually taken in my life --- crazy concept I know - but it's based on a spotless record for over 20 years in business and disclosing every action that I take as a volunteer - I've been open and honest in all things and have not given anyone a reason to distrust me -- if people don't trust me because they didn't trust the people I volunteered to clean up after then there isn't anything I can do about that other than continue to act ethically and transparently -- I'm saying here is the plan, here is exactly what spending I've approved and would approve in the future -- if the assumption is that I'm committing fraud on that and risking my reputation and career (for no gain) then there isn't much I can do on that -- this entire discussion about an audit suddenly being some "must have" is brand new - there was no or virtually no discussion of an audit until a week or so ago.
ALSO - the audit this thread has been discussing is mostly focused on past actions - how does that relate to saying to "trust me" now? What would the audit possibly show that has any bearing on me today? If it shows that previous admin was the greatest people on earth or were crooks -- it still doesn't affect today one bit. I've always supported open records for anything I've been involved with
Bruce, try to see this from my perspective. You mention "20 years in business," but for someone who started the "first full-service investment firm to use the Internet," ( your company website is basically dead, according to Alexa) your web presence is nearly nil. Of course, I'm not counting the various self-promo sites like like http://brucefenton.com/bruce-fenton-biography/, or spoon-fed blurbs by "cryptojournalists." To me (I do tend to err on the dark side), you're just another Anon. Or Craig Steven Wright, whichever. This is Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Foundation, OTOH, it I do know. Its history is there for everyone to see. Here: http://www.coindesk.com/companies/bitcoin-foundation/2) sure, second in command would have helped, we do have a COO - the car accident was 3 weeks after I volunteered - I didn't have such a volunteer then, if you know someone who'd fit, let us know -- no need to be sarastic about it
Out of the 9 months you've chaired TBF, roughly how many were spent convalescing? 3) you didn't answer my question about why foundation would need an audit to prove that we don't owe money when no one has asked or accused the foundation of owing them money - you just answer "need an audit, period" -- okay....to what end exactly? You still haven't clearly stated what you want the audit to show and cover -- what type of audit do you want? Tax audit? GAAP?
Bruce, what do you mean by "financial transparency"? "I'm starting with roughly $30k, take my word for it. There was no misappropriation by former board members, take my word for it." Something like that? You plan to be "transparent" without independent audits? How would that work, exactly? 4) when I said to focus on people not pieces of paper--- the paper I was referring to wasn't financial records it's the corporate structure / documents -- saying you "don't trust the foundation" is not as logical as talking about a person or people -- there is no person called "Bitcoin Foundation" an organization is incapable of lying, telling the truth or anything else -- it's just a document -- PEOPLE are who actually make decisions and can be trusted or not -- I'm only asking for others to base opinions on the actual actions of the people they judge --
Again, I don't know you. I do know Chairman Pierce. Ignoring the seedier allegations, his past business dealings fail to reassure. "[...] The same year, Alan Debonneville, Pierce’s co-founder, sued him in a California District Court for fraud. According to court documents, Debonneville alleged that Pierce had stolen stock and misappropriated about $200,000 in company money to pay for default judgments against him and Collins-Rector. Pierce settled the lawsuit in 2008 for an undisclosed amount, according to documents."5) I co-founded Bitcoin Association, stepped down when I volunteered at Bitcoin Foundation Greg Simon is the president of it now --- not sure what you are getting at with the 501c6 comment -- I've explained how they filed a couple of times -- for Bitcoin Association we are now talking about an entirely different organization -- Bitcoin Association has no tax status in the US, did not file or apply for tax status and did not solicit or accept donations
Nothing to stop the new foundation (assuming another is needed) from self-filing 501c6 & operating. The Bitcoin Foundation did just that for -- how many years? That said, in my own small way I'm helping TBF stay relevant: by bumping this thread. It was off the front page  Maybe he can garner support on reddit. They'll get behind anything if you throw around some buzzwords. |

http://blog.virustotal.com/2013/04/virustotal-k7gw.htmlYou are absolutely right, telling the truth is frowned upon.....Maybe it was more advisable to create a nice story with many benefits and leave people lying in a month.... Then I say I have hacked the account, I show desolate for a few days and everyone is happy ... Cheers I'm not saying it isn't a noble gesture, but you do need to fix your code. The mega wallet download is just laughable, the build is not even signed. Just sayin'`. It seems that here we do not want to sell any antivirus http://r.virscan.org/report/865be8d4148587e8ec2d45af2733dfc6To stay calm for your notice, I checked again the .dll libraries and have not found anything out of place.

And yes like someone else has already posted it seems to be the typical strategy of divide and conquer. Now where XT has failed this is attempt number two.
You probably forgot about Bitcoin Unlimited. This is attempt number three. Neither XT nor Unlimited have failed. They are here if they are needed. If the growth in transactions slows down and Core's approach is early successfull, they will not be needed. But as soon as the highway is full, mempool growths continuosly and core's approaches fail you'll be thankfull for every alternative client that saves bitcoin. (this said, classic may have chosen the wrong timing to come out. Otherwise they can now built a community and develop an own roadmap to be prepared when / if the need for some alternative to core will be urgent)  |

The money is lost. But it is our job as a community to warn people of guys like these. Is there any section where I should post this message?
This is the correct section for it. Please post updates with how your police reports go, etc. I am sorry you got scammed like this and hope there is at least some resolution to it. |

Yes, you could use blockchain.info's bitcoin payment API for your website but don't recommend it due to a lot of bugs and delays that has and will happen so if you could find someone to make you a costume one then that would be better.
A costume? Like this?  I am sure a costume would help increase sales. |
