Incent has now launched their ICO tokens as assets on the latest light wallet for Waves. Any chance this can happen for MVP now?

Anonymity aside, how does the SDC team think the market will compare to Syscoin? It would seem to me many of the challenges would be the same.

Watch out guys, there is a scam twitter account trying to get folks to give them BTCD... please note the differences:

Fake - https://twitter.com/KomodoPIatform
Real - https://twitter.com/KomodoPlatform

Arial font doesn't show the difference in an obvious way, which is quite sneaky.

That twitter handle follows you first, if you follow back, then it sends a PM that reads "The ICO collected over 2,600 BTC, the snapshot is taken, the time to swap has come! So if you want to swap your BTCD for Komodo, just give me a shout and we'll make it happen!".

I have sent a PM.........signing or sending a proof of ownership doesn't make sense.  Why don't you just send the refund to the sender's address?  Who owns the address seems a moot point.  The address is the proof of who sent the coin. 

I sent it from my Trezor, so if I must then please provide instructions on how to satisfy your requirements.

Thank you for your time and energy.

This was my thought exactly...

Do you guys have an ETA for when MVP tokens will be able to be sent to WAVES addresses (pulled off the site from ICO)? Thanks.
66  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ICO CLOSED] Inchain - insurance for the crypto economy on: November 25, 2016, 08:34:50 PM
So if we sent BTC from an address we control, what are the actions we need to take at this point? Or will we simply receive a refund less the tx fees?
67  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ★★★[ANN]★★★ MVP LINEUP TOKEN CROWDSALE- Daily Fantasy Sports & Gaming on: November 25, 2016, 07:19:55 PM
Is there any update about when Waves withdrawals might be enabled?

SDC is a DNM killer.

Hopefully the inner tech will be solid enough and the whole project a true success!

SDC was supposed to be listed for Chinese investors. Do we have any news about this?

SDC Is not a darknet killer at all.. I have invested in SDC  and expect it to reach 4 or 5 dollars maybe more if we are lucky.

There market is not going to be a darknet market, The devs are not even anonymous and if they allowed drugs on there market they are on a one way ticket to life in prison, the main dev is on youtube so anyone who thinks there creating  a dark market really!?

its going to be a little anonymous market with cryptocurrency exchange and a few services for sale.



$4 or $5 per SDC is chump change. The reason any coin exists, and grows is because it has a purpose. With SDC the purpose is multi-dimensional. Absolute privacy has always been a top goal, as is communicate, barter, and complete transactions in a secure environment. It has nothing to do with selling drugs, or illicit activity, it has to do with your right to privacy. There are always individuals that operate outside the law, and there is nothing the developers can do to prevent it, nor are they responsible for anyone else's actions. Once the market goes live I will be very surprised if SDC doesn't have a market cap well over $100 million within a few weeks or months. It is simply a matter of which coin offers the most complete package, and ease of use. Doesn't take much homework to see the obvious. SDC isn't some little kiddie coin looking for a fake pump, it's the real deal and is only going to become more stable and reputable...

And beyond that, what laws are the devs expected to follow? Drugs are illegal in some countries, Bibles illegal in other countries. Many countries around the world are human rights violators and their laws should be broken. It disgusts me to see commercial outfits in free countries stifling free speech and trade at the request of dictatorial governments in other countries and decentralized services are a good way to avoid that, no matter what else they might facilitate.

Guys,

The whole point of all of these decentralized peer 2 peer blockchains is censorship resistance. That's it. The code doesn't (and shouldn't) make subjective measurements about the transactions or their payloads. It's job is not to evaluate the content, but to enable frictionless and censorship free transacting. That is the point of all of this. It's freedom. A hammer can be used to build a house or kill a person. It doesn't mean hammers should be selectively illegal. Society can enforce and regulate it's problems itself outside of the constructs of infrastructure, which is what it should have been doing all along. If a particular society has problems with people killing people with hammers, or sniffing paint, it needs to be addressed the tough way... at the human level.

Blockchain infrastructures should not cater to jurisdictions or particular sensitivities selectively. That is a slippery slope. Today we say "okay let's make an exception for not selling drugs, but everything else is okay..." and then tomorrow it's "well certain books are too controversial... we should outlaw certain books too". This is why the hard fork in Ethereum set a dangerous precedent as well. It's also critical to understand that with blockchains the centralization has shifted from the code and database to the people with commit access. We should always be vigilant about government agencies leaning on devs to make commits that introduce censorship selectively in to the code. You aren't always going to like what people sell on the market, but your choices are to not participate in those markets.

tl;dr - Guys all of this stuff is about your right to privacy and civil liberties, not about "drugs".

Now that I am past that annoying 403 errror... does anyone else have their tokens in Colu? I added my Colu address in the Mycelium crowdsale page but I still don't show anything in Colu. Anyone else? Is it a waiting game at this point or have they been distributed?

Just confirming there are not currently instructions on how to withdraw ICO tokens to a wallet? Sit tight?

ICO looming Smiley

Maybe a good place to invest your XEM?
74  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][KMD][dPoW] Komodo ICO - Zero Knowledge Privacy Secured by Bitcoin on: September 06, 2016, 02:58:58 PM
sorry guys, I do not understand what is Komodo? Is it Zcash fork?

Hey, no problem!

Yes we use the Zcash technology, all credit to them! However, we are not a simple fork as we have added our own technology on top of it. We use NXT style PoS along with a new consensus method called dPoW. The dPoW is an innovation of our own, which will secure Komodo with bitcoin's hashrate (and other coins can secure their blockchains via Komodo).

Another big component is Iguana, which is another project that is in its finish line. We haven't really talked about it yet, but Iguana and Komodo will complement each other.

We will be explaining everything, so sign up for our newsletter and you won't miss anything!
https://komodoplatform.com/

Here is our first article, describing a little bit about dPoW

How are you guys managing the toxic waste from the "trusted setup"?

From: http://weuse.cash/2016/06/09/btc-xmr-zcash/

"Another problem ZCash faces is the “trusted setup”, the so called cryptographic “toxic waste” problem. This is some data that is needed when the initial parameters of ZCash are created, but needs to be deleted afterwards. If somehow someone gains access to this “toxic waste”, this entity can create coins out of thin air without anyone noticing. This is a serious problem because this makes a malicious backdoor in ZCash a real possibility.

The fact that ZCash is a US-based company, doesn’t really help with building confidence in this cryptocurrency. It’s not unthinkable some agency will require the ZCash team to make a copy of this “toxic waste” and hand it over to them. Just google what the US government did to the owners of e-gold, Liberty Reserve and the Liberty Dollar, and you’ll understand what kind of pressure they can exert on the owners of the ZCash company. If coins can be created at will, the inflation will diminish the value of the coin."

I'm reading conflicting information here and am a bit confused. We do or do not need additional community nodes? Are there still bounties for it? I thought I saw Waves hit the max number of participants. I can set up a node if we still need some.

I always felt like ETH marketcap was so big because of banks and fin institutions bought in and probably brought price up as marketing strategy to ensure that their bet will dinstinct from rest of alts. As BigSirko said, ETH is not user friendly and is not adopted by anyone really. The only solution to big cap is that it was manipulated by likes of Goldman sachs. Do you guys think that ETH marketcap is made of genuine interest of public?

Agreed... there was some VC money swirling around in there. Smoke filled rooms with backroom handshakes, no doubt. The crypto investors mostly bought in during the Fomo period. Most ico buyers were busy dumping at one dollar, not buying from my observations and conversations. The market cap was a knee jerk to some sort of stimulus from interested investors that probably got sold on it. The Ethereum folks certainly are not rivaled in the evangelism and social networking category. Even with the current market cap, can anyone think of one single "killer" app that required smart contracts? The DAO was a bust, Augur might be good, but who knows.

Bottom line, that 1 billion is speculation, not practical application valuation imho.

For those of you upset at the prospects of them spending ICO funds on the office:

A happy worker is a busy worker. Do you want these guys working out of their mums basements? They need a place to collaborate. This office doesn't seem excessive at all, and I appreciate that with all that dosh they still chose to be modest in their abode.

Good luck guys. Hopefully you can focus on your work now and not where to sit with your laptop.

I installed chrome plugin wave lite client wallet some time ago: opened it now after one month or so and noticed it is version 0.3.3a.

Is it the latest version or should I update it? And, in case, how should I do to update it?

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

https://github.com/wavesplatform/WavesGUI/releases

0.4.2... and while you are at it let me know if it works... I get failed connecting...
80  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: WAVES. Ultimate crypto-tokens blockchain platform. on: July 27, 2016, 06:44:15 PM
Anyone else having problems with the lite wallet connecting to the back end right now?
