your efforts and input are always greatly appreciated and interesting in my book
considering how small, tiny the transaction fee is compared to the value of fst it's incredible for all these years there have bene no probs (in my book), miners are so important
I guess like btc in the very early days it was dedicated, miners, hobbyists, and again you could at least mine directly from qt wallet I think in early days

what will help is when the value goes up to reasonable value which will happen relatively soon imo

I mean multiple cents to 2 digit cents

a lot of coins never went through the early lows and hard work and had overinflated values
like ltc, i remember when went on btce , people were buying on forum if people would accept paypal and not be scammed , then was around 30-40 cents for short time then straight to $1 and never came down

lee working for coinbase etc

so we have done hard way but have a very solid coin, with all the right fundementals

problem is when you have general public essentially buying dogshit like ripple, and not understanding what theyre buying

bittrex would be good i guess but have seen them delist coins with 40+ btc a day and more, like xst, so they can't be trusted, they are just interested in the next token
polo has major red flags and many traders talking of lost coins, stolen funds etc

tbh we need to have more volume but the steady price and gains, past few days when other coins are dying shows people don't want to sell we are in an accumalation faze, i feel like whales are buying up so sell at your peril

end of day i like cryptopia and livecoin and we have FST/USD with livecoin and should promote more
our target audience has to be new investors, traders and merchants, again via usd route, then they don't get sidetracked with having to buy btc first and other coins

Guys.

I think we need to show a little more that twitter posts about how fast FST is.

A slack channel is highly needed to keep the discussions more organized. I know you always try to advocate for the FastCoin forum, but is really difficult to engage users there. It isn't usable in mobile devices, low movement there (I'm following for a few weeks and we don't have very few new discussions). A slack channel is way better to keep the community together guys. And is one of the things that investors look at, before deciding to invest.

The github repository doesn't have activity since last year. Is the project been developed in some other place? Would be nice to keep the repository updated.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a enthusiastic of FastCoin. Just trying to help use improve always.

Dear clients, XTO deposits/withdrawals will not be available since developer has refused to cooperate. This coin will be delisted in future. We suppose that blockchain of XTO is not working properly or it was broken/edited, or fraud activity have taken place. Please find our investigation report below.

We have a lot of fraudulent XTO transactions in our node with -1 confirmations. For example:
"txid" : "10bc9cd6e6079050406fd7886a9c25e441f4dc713d039310cabf34843edde6e3",
"amount" : 1000.00000000,
"confirmations" : -1

All of them have had positive amount of confirmations and later reversed to -1.
This was a first issue we encountered with this coin and decide to close deposits/withdrawals.

Then we found that blockchains in our XTO node and official explorer are different. This is the only one example. Hashes of the same block in our node and in explorer are different. Find proof below.
bitcoin@taocoin:~$ ./taod getblockhash 10717
98d0178c0fe4a5c9a0c6175889f6c9d8424c0cfe8ebb705345228e2f0f964c32

https://www.blockexperts.com/tao/height/10717
TAO BLOCK #10717
block hash fd9fb6a13de3cc969ae704d481e4ac07b9dc7cb953b10e57dc3297631ab583fe

Our XTO node is on the right chain (last block is correct), this was checked a lot of times starting from the first issue.

Some of XTO addresses have negative balances according official explorer: https://www.blockexperts.com/tao/address/Tv7ypajVXXDd3rucE8Nfd4iDAmEAfpPqp6

In the meantime we found several accounts involved in the suspicous activity with deposits/withdrawals of XTO. We suppose they tried to reach some sort of double spending in XTO blockchain and hence in our node. So these accounts were locked, but most of them were already empty. One of them have had 100000 XTO, so we debited this amount manually with "scam" description.

Later on the developer have contacted us with question why is his partner received a notification of debiting with "scam" description. We explained this situation to him. Right after our explanation new account was registered in our Exchange and all XTO coins has been bought out in our market to rise price to the sky. Right after this event we received an offer from developer to buy a lack of coins from him by the market price (skyrocketed price). This was the last drop for us, so we refused to deal with developer and locked new account which was use to buy out all XTO coins.

After all these malicous schemes, we managed to keep 50% of XTO coins. If we count coins locked in the account used for the last scheme, we could say that 60-65% of coins are in safe. We will not open deposits/withdrawals, neither unlock fraudulent accounts.

There are a few ways for XTO on our exchange:
1. We can leave all this as is, without deposits/withdrawals.
2. We can re-calculate XTO balances of our clients according the remaining coins and open only withdrawals. Then delist this coin.
3. We can get the lack of coins from developer if he wish to compensate these malicous schemes / broken blockchain and open withdrawals, then delist this coin.
4. If you can offer a better solution, we are always open for reasonable ideas.

P.S. we will not continue working with this coin in any case. C-CEX is already notified by us with detailed explanation of this situation.

P.S.S. Please always do your own research of an asset which you want to acquire. Livecoin do not provide any guarantees regarding quality of assets. Livecoin also don't guarantee lawfulness and fair play of developers.

In this case, Gnode was trying to withdraw, but there was some issue with the transactions, and Cryptsy died before the problem was resolved.

I believe that the Cryptsy admin deliberately deleted the database - destroying all records of internal balances - so with these (presumably) valid but unconfirmed transactions Gnode is in the somewhat unique situation of being able to prove that s/he really does own those funds. Most of us have no way to prove entitlement because our balances were an entry in a Cryptsy internal database.

leonArdo version 3.4 released!

Complete redesign of leonArdo's underlying memory allocation model

• New high-performance underlying memory allocator
• Avoidance of most dynamic memory-allocation overhead
• Guarantees much longer lifetime when run 24/7
• Yields a drastic reduction in CPU usage
• See note “Regarding memory usage” below

Added an extra error-handling layer to mArgin-maker’s state-engine

• Improved handling in case of API calls whose outcome is unknown
• In error-situations, the newly introduced "Go for it!"-option can be checked to enable mArgin-maker

           -> to wait 5 minutes and re-check whether it can find out whether the previous erroneous action was successful
            -> to continue its operations assuming a most likely outcome based on all market-data available

• Please note, that the decision made by mArgin-maker here is not always 100% sophisticated so under certain circumstances this can lead to unwanted behavior such as double-orders

Added Stop-Loss to the mArgin-maker bot (beta)

• Can be enabled by simply checking the new Stop-Loss option
• Define a lower price threshold which causes mArgin-maker to cancel its active sell order and to sell the amount immediately before stopping the bot
• Use intuitive drag&drop to alter the Stop-Loss price
• Stop-Loss price can be defined absolutely or relative to the last performed buy order

Added new annotation to mArgin-maker that visualizes its action history

• Follow what your bot did more easily
• Hover to see detailed information about actions it performed
• Easily assign trades to the strategy

Further changes:

• Further optimizations to reduce CPU load
• Added small plots to the tooltip of the network-connection indicator (bottom right) that shows the history of leonArdo’s memory usage and network connection stats.

How can you get your copy?

If you are an existing customer you can simply click on the "update available" link on the leonArdo login screen and download this version.

Or if you are new just head over to website and click through to our Products section.
You can also download a demo version of leonArdo from the website to try before you buy.

Check out a screenshot of the mArgin maker bot's new Stop-Loss functionality. Here we see a relative Stop-Loss setting of 1.62%:




Regarding memory usage:
Please note that the Windows task manager (or comparable tools for Linux and Mac) does not provide a reliable estimate of an application's actual memory usage. That is, even though leonArdo (and all other applications) might seem to use more and more memory over time this is not necessarily caused by an actual memory leak. Instead, modern operating systems use several highly optimized layers of memory handlers that try to minimize memory fragmentation while exploiting as much memory as possible (Interested readers could start reading more on this topic here: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/sasha/2016/01/05/windows-process-memory-usage-demystified/)

Hi is the program running ok on bittrex? the margin strategy work ok?

Im not a tech guy or coder. I do know though that transactions don't get confirmed within the very next block often on any coin. Usually you may only see a confirmation of your transaction after a few blocks have passed. With Bitcoin coins, I know also that if you raise the fees you are paying, you get lumped into a block sooner. Miner priorities are set to confirm the people paying the most first. If you raise your fee you may see them confirmed faster.

haha yep I spotted the typo too, hope devs see your comment, only a small thing though

as far as I know bittrex have no add coin application
you can tweet them and if they have 5 they may look into a coin, they generally are on the lookout for new high volume coins unfortunately
they do though add old school honest coins like this that are growing well,

so once we are bigger maybe 5 mill marketcap and better volume I think worth approaching

I think polo are to be avoided, they wouldnt consider fst just now, too low cap

plus THEY are to be avoided, the things i am reading about them at minute on twitter and trollboxes
people are panicking, polo are in undisclosed offices, ignoring support, excuses, they messed up on a coin and people lost all from wallets etc

they are another cryptsy in making i fear, victim of their own success and greed

bittrex is nice but too early imo and not big enough, livecoin is a really nice exchnage plus has fst/usd and fst/btc, this is great for n on crypto people to get into fastcoin

we also need a block explorer as others have said, had a few i think, but they die off if subs not kept up
you have to have one to even apply for polo or bittrex or any exchange
think devs said they are building own one for fastcoin which would be great

the one ediths mentioned few posts up is best, cryptoid i think
but if you visit thread where she linked, they are basically off til september due to growing so big and they want to relax before adding more coins and growing again
they are a first class operation though, not in it for money

Lovely! Take the time you need to release a robust update.

One thing: the bot does not sync the pair ETH/BTC on Poloniex. Any issue from your side? Or would it be addressed to the exchange?

I don't think the RAM amount matters. Seems to still be a Poloniex issue.

I have it running on 2 Servers. One with 8GB of ram, the other with 48GB. They both crash randomly since the Polo mess started.

Noted, but if I am being honest there are a few ahead of that.

Best wishes,
Jonathan

Hello.
I have a question.
How long does it take until Kraken.com is supportet?

The next update - which is hopefully coming within the week as we are currently testing it - should reduce the probability of a crash. It also fixes the memory leak and has CPU optimizations, plus a nice little extra surprise.

Sorry it is taking so long, but it was complicated stuff that affected all areas of the codebase.

Best wishes,
Jonathan

May I make a much-needed feature request?

On the margin maker bots, could we have a reset button that makes it forget what the last trades were? Say I don't use the margin for a week and then re-start it, right now it's still constrained by its last trade. I literally have to delete the bot and start a new one. That's a bit annoying.

Thanks!

Hi eleazar,

Sounds great. Such strategies will be available once we implement our strategy editor. But that will only come much later in the year.

To see what is currently possible with leonArdo I suggest you check out our tutorial videos: http://www.marginsoftware.de/tutorial.html

And then you can take leonArdo for a spin by downloading the free demo version.

Best wishes,
Jonathan

This is hardly the thread for bitching about Polo. Everyone that knows what the fuck they are doing is already quite aware of the issues.

Yes there are plans! But it is basically a matter of where to devote our dev power atm.
Additionally we are not completely sure how big the demand for a leonArdo BTS version would be.
xeroc is also working on a Poloniex compatibility mode, which would make an integration easier.

We are happy to talk details via pm or telegram.

I do love the software, too.  Great work, developers!

Some improvement suggestions for the GUI:

I would love to be able to re-arrange the displaying order of the opened "tabs" (the exchanges, the pairs, the strategies).  As in "A-B-C-D-E" -> "A-E-D-B-C".
Now, they are only displayed by the order in which they were initially opened, which feels like the 90s.  It would be much easier to manage if I could move them around.
Example of a real-life case:  I have many pairs open on 1 exchange, but there are 3 that I check most frequently today, due to volatility.  I would like to put those pairs together, to switch through them easily, and not have to scroll through all the pairs to find them out.  It can get very confusing with having many opened pairs and markets.
The goal of that is to make it easier to have the information I want, quickly (i.e. "right now!"), with as little effort or manipulations as possible needed from my side.

Likewise, it would be important for me to to have each "pair" keep its own chart display settings (30m, 1h, 12h, etc., and also the position of the order book, which tends to disappear).  Like it currently is the case for the indicators.  (Each pair keep its indicator preferences.)
It is a bit annoying to have to re-arrange things constantly when switching many times through all the different pairs.

Also, a way to put a stop loss (either through the exchange or through leonArdo) would be an important feature - like having a seatbelt on a fast car!
