641  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][EXCHANGE] Poloniex - Crypto Exchange with BTC/NXT on: November 01, 2014, 01:03:46 AM
Could someone post an example of a the proper api string for Poloniex's trading api "returnBalances"?

From the info gleamed off https://www.poloniex.com/api I know I can get an error message by using the following:
Code:
https://www.poloniex.com/tradingApi?command=returnBalances

But I don't know where or how to add Key and Sign to the headers. This is the only description given on the site:

Quote
All calls to the trading API are sent via HTTP POST to https://poloniex.com/tradingApi and must contain the following headers:

Key - Your API key.
Sign - The query's POST data signed by your key's "secret" according to the HMAC-SHA512 method.

Additionally, all queries must include a "nonce" POST parameter. The nonce parameter is an integer which must always be greater than the previous nonce used.

I'd love an example showing the proper inclusion of the Key and Sign string.
Forgive me, I'm just learning some of this stuff.

Not really. The cost will be tied to market demand.

Well Google, Dropbox, MEGA, etc haven't countered Microsoft's new consumer deal, but say they do (they'll counter with something) and market demand is now saying unlimited storage for $6/month. Is this price-point going to effect Storj's projections and whatnot? <-- The crux of the matter. Thanks.

644  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Creating a Cryptocurrency Holdings spreadsheet in Google Docs (Sheets) on: October 30, 2014, 01:52:27 PM
Thought I'd ask the professionals here some spreadsheet questions regarding IMPORTDATA, IMPORTHTML, etc... for a small side project I'm working on.


Goal:
-Make a spreadsheet of crypto holdings that can update automatically by gathering API web data.

What I've got so far:
-A spreadsheet with categories such as: Asset, Holdings, Total Distribution, Holding Percentage, USD Price, USD Total Value, BTC Price, BTC Total Value

What I need help with:
-Importing data from web sources into specific cells of my spreadsheet that, in turn, automatically updates as the pulled information updates.

An Example:

Say I own XCP-Counterparty. I want to populate a cell in my spreadsheet under "Total Distribution" with the data provided by this feed: http://xcp.blockscan.com/api2.aspx?module=supply&asset=XCP 
HOW DO I DO THAT?

I can get the feed to load by using this command:
Code:
=IMPORTDATA("http://xch.blockscan.com/api2.aspx?module=supply&asset=XCH")
which gets me this:
Code:
{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "XCP",
  "result": "2647299.0783785"
}

But I can't just simplify it to show only the resulting number under
Code:
"result": "2647299.0783785"

Grabbing web data from multiple sources:
-I'd also like to do the same trick to load data from http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/counterparty/ for cells in the spreadsheet under "USD Price" and "BTC Price". I figure that if someone can walk me through the steps in the example above I can curtail that knowledge into grabbing other data to auto-populate this spreadsheet.

Any help would be great, I appreciate it in advance!
Cheers,
LiteBit

How does Microsoft's latest announcement effect Storj's DriveShare business and, in turn, the value of SJCX?
[Suspicious link removed]j.com/personal-technology/2014/10/27/microsoft-gives-office-365-subscribers-unlimited-cloud-storage/

The link is an article on Microsoft's announcement to offer FREE cloud storage to Office 365 subscribers. This essential moves cloud storage's price point to $6.95/month for UNLIMITED storage. (or whatever Office 365 is per month).

Well, among other things, you need to be signed up with Microsoft for Office 365 and Microsoft will have your payment and personal information stored in some fashion that you don't have control over. If your storage space is encrypted, it's likely that MS holds the decryption keys so your privacy is questionable (though I haven't researched their offering in depth). You also have to keep paying Microsoft (i.e. the same singular entity) indefinitely or your space is gone. If you end up storing lots of data with Microsoft (assuming you could, in actuality, store hundreds of terabytes -- e.g. if you're a video producer), Microsoft could suddenly decide to scrap its unlimited storage model, or spin off the business to someone else. It could also decide to suddenly change its pricing structure: i.e. you still have unlimited storage, but now they decide to charge an additional $25/month if you hold over 10 TB on their service.

With Storj, you'd only pay to store the amount of space you're using at the redundancy you desire. Your files are chunked, encrypted and distributed across the network so there isn't a single point of failure. There isn't one central company that can shut off your space all at once, as well. Think MEGA -- when they got shut down, a lot of legitimate users lost access to their backups/files. If someone stores something funky on a centralized service, an enforcement agency may decide to freeze the entire infrastructure or server during an investigation/to preserve evidence (that other innocent folks data may be held on) and you may be out of luck with access.

I'm also skeptical of indefinite, unlimited storage with a traditional provider. When iPhones first came out, many cellular providers like AT&T offered unlimited data plans, but those are now gone unless you're grandfathered in. And only a few days ago, Bitcasa, which also had an unlimited storage offering for $10/month, also stopped (see: http://techcrunch.com/2014/10/24/bitcasa-no-unlimited/).

Disclosure: am Storj dev.

Does this change any pricing structure for the Storj end user (the folks paying to store stuff)?

I agree, "unlimited" plans always come with an "*" asterisk...

There's only 1,000,000 units on havelock. Rest 4PH will mine for AM?

I think there is another big mistake.

Each share is worth 5 Gh/s, that is why there is only 1 000 000 shares available !

Hm the share price is clearly listed as ฿0.00125000.
So if each share is worth 5 GH/s, that's ฿0.25 per TH/s. That's not likely.

I think it's more likely that they're just selling the shares in batches. This would be the first batch of 1 million shares.

My guess is batches.  This is off of their Havelock details page:

The Fund is divided into 5 million (5,000,000) units each of which represents 1Gigahash per second.

A helpful sortable column would be "Date Established". I am always curious at the amount of time a coin has been alive. It'd probably be too much work to track down all the dates but it would help me sort the oldest, mature coins from the brand new coins just getting started.

Like a "founded" column or 1st block date. Just someway to STR coins by maturity.

+1

for the 'circa' column, simply 4 characters,  month and year -- 1114 would be November 2014

Yep that would work!

654  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / [ANN] Dogeparty Runner - The Original XDP Token Game on: August 31, 2014, 07:29:08 PM
I am very excited to announce the first, ever Dogeparty token game!


Dogeparty Runner
The Original XDP Token Game

http://xdpr.adeally.com


Dogeparty Runner is a weekly game of cyberhunt that uses our 4 game tokens (RUNNER, HINTS, CLUES & PRIZES) to solve problems. Players compete in hopes of winning brand new products.

This project is fueled by Dogeparty. We built inherent values in each token so they have a purpose for the runner games and a potential value on the DEX (decentralized exchange), whenever it gets incorporated in the Dogeparty Wallet. While token holders will need the tokens to progress through each day's problem there is also a side strategy to holding Dogeparty Runner tokens that could only be accomplished using Dogeparty. A player may end up with extra tokens because they solved the problem fast and a player may end up needing more tokens because the problem is too hard. Viola! Instant market values associated with the game tokens. Some players that don't win the weekly prize could still come out on top if they exchange their unused Dogeparty Runner tokens for other tokens on the DEX.

An example of the gameplay can be found below, as well as here: http://xdpr.adeally.com/example/



Gameplay

Dogeparty Runner is a cyberhunt game that tests player's problem solving skills to track down random facts on the interwebs. Along with email and web access, players will need to maintain a Dogeparty wallet in order to buy, trade, redeem and leverage Dogeparty Runner game tokens.

Dogeparty Runner game tokens

All Dogeparty Runner game tokens can be traded on the DEX (decentralized exchange) built into the Dogeparty Wallet web client. Each game token was designed to have an inherent value. Holders of each token has the choice to redeem them for continued gameplay instructions or to trade them on the exchange with anyone needing or wanting more of them.

RUNNER - This token kicks off the gameplay. A player must have this token in their wallet to participate in the start of the game. This token is also awarded when a player correctly answers a problem. It is then used to request the next problem that needs to be solved.

HINTS - This token represents the simplest clue that a player can request to help move along gameplay. A typical problem has 1 hint assigned to it to help move a player along. This token can also be purchased directly from Dogeparty Runner.

CLUES - This token represents more complex clues that a player can request to help move along gameplay. A typical problem has 2 clues assigned to it to help move a player along. This token can also be purchased directly from Dogeparty Runner.

PRIZES - This token is given to the winner of the prize raffle and the game. It can be redeemed for the weekly prize or traded on the exchange.

A strategic example of a way to play Dogeparty Runner and earn extra coins without actually winning could play out as follows:

A player is able to solve problems without using all their clue game tokens, leaving them with extra HINTS or CLUES that they won't need anymore. This player could list them on the exchange in exchange for DOGE or XDP coins. A player having trouble solving the problems and without anymore clue game tokens could buy the listed ones if the price were right. Players selling Dogeparty Runner game tokens can recoup some of the entry fee they paid to play in the weekly games. All four Dogeparty Runner game tokens can be traded on the exchange during any point of the gameplay. The best players will be able to leverage their game tokens to maximize their profits.

Dogeparty Runner game schedule

Sign-up for weekly games will begin on Saturdays. The following is a typical schedule for each week's game:

Saturday - Game, prize & address is announced. Player registration is officially opened. Participants (runners) receive their first token, RUNNER.
Monday - Player registration continues, in the meantime, the game's first problem is announced and gameplay is open to anyone holding a RUNNER token. A player exchanges their RUNNER token for instructions, the first problem and the first batch of (2) HINTS, (2) CLUES game tokens. A player who solves the problem correctly receives another RUNNER token.
Tuesday - The game's second problem is announced. Runners correctly solving the first problem exchange their RUNNER game token for instructions and the second problem. A player who solves the problem correctly receives another RUNNER token.
Wednesday - The game's third problem is announced. Runners correctly solving the second problem exchange their RUNNER game token for instructions and the third problem. A player who solves the problem correctly receives another RUNNER token.
Thursday - The game's fourth problem is announced. Runners correctly solving the third problem exchange their RUNNER game token for instructions, the fourth problem and a new batch of (1) HINTS, (1) CLUES game tokens. A player who solves the problem correctly receives another RUNNER token.
Friday - The game's fifth & final problem is announced. Runners correctly solving the fourth problem exchange their RUNNER game token for instructions and the final problem. A player who solves the problem correctly receives another RUNNER token.


These last RUNNER tokens are collected at the end of regulation and each player to solve all 5 problems is entered into the weekly prize raffle. The drawing determines the winning runner and they receive the coveted PRIZES token.

Dogeparty Runner winner raffle

Final drawings will happen on Fridays. The weekly winner will be determined using the following criteria:

- Each player to solve all 5 problems is entered into the weekly prize raffle.
- Raffle ticket numbers are assigned to players in the order they correctly solve the final problem.
- The final ordered list of possible winners will be made public with email addresses hashed for privacy.
- A future Dogecoin block will be announced. The hash of that block will help determine the winning raffle ticket.
- A third-party, unbiased raffle ticket picker site will be used to identify the winner. All the variables used to determine the winner will be made public so results can be verified and confirmed.
- Once the winning raffle ticket number is identified and confirmed by the community the player who won will be sent a PRIZES token.

Dogeparty Runner communication

Player registration will consist of an email address and a Dogeparty wallet address. These 2 forms of ID are not allowed to change during a running game.

Each weekly Dogeparty Runner game will have a unique game address that will distribute game tokens, collect game tokens and receive payments for HINTS and CLUES.

The Dogeparty Runner gameplay email address is: play@adeally.com. All communication during gameplay will come from, and should be directed to this address.

While this website will be updated with the latest announcements, the majority of communication between the Dogeparty Runner and the players will take place over email. Typical communication might be gameplay problem announcements, hint and clue delivery, instructions and much more.

Dogeparty Runner fees & costs

Each weekly game entry will cost 5 XDP or 7,500 DOGE. Both coins will be excepted. A 50% discounted price is factored in for  players paying in XDP. These should be sent to each weekly game's announced Dogeparty address.

Every player needs to have a Dogeparty wallet.

Dogeparty Runner also sells both the HINTS and CLUES tokens directly. Players entered in the game receive a limited supply of these game tokens to start. In case a player runs out, HINTS game tokens can be purchased at a cost of 0.5 XDP or 750 DOGE each. CLUES game tokens can be purchased at a cost of 1 XDP or 1,500 DOGE each. All four Dogeparty Runner game tokens may be available for trade on the DEX as well, and we recommend looking at the order book for the going rates of each of these.

Free shipping

Dogeparty Runner offers free shipping to players within the continental United States. Players that win the weekly raffle who live outside the continental United States will need to cover International shipping costs of their prize if they choose to claim it. Dogeparty Runner ships worldwide. Any winner may also try to trade their PRIZES game token on the decentralized exchange as well.

Donated tokens and disbursement

Dogeparty Runner has teamed with the Dogeparty Token Depot for help in rewarding all the runners participating in the challenges and with distributing Dogeparty tokens to the community. With their help we can offer all game participants tokens for each correct answer they provide. Each game will be sponsored by one of their donated tokens each week.

I see we need to keep Clearwallet open so our market orders get filled. What's the timeout period if we keep it open on a tab in the background? Is there an inactivity timeout?

I have tried to stay logged in on a dedicated machine and either my wallet times out after a period of inactivity or my orders are being skipped. Thoughts?
656  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Dogeparty, Counterparty for the Dogecoin blockchain! (official) on: August 19, 2014, 04:34:28 AM
We've identified the wallet problem as a bigger problem that most likely also affects Counterparty, but it is highly unlikely that anyone has lost anything. You guys just really stress-tested it! Hang tight for news and a fix.

I know Counterwallet has had to have it's users switch (create new) wallets 2 TIMES since it was released to public. They have the process outlined on their forum: forums.counterparty.co 

In one case we had to add the word "old" to the string of 12 words to access a new wallet and then migrate the funds over. In another instance we just had to import our private keys from the corrupt wallet into a newly created wallet. The assets and coins followed.

This brings up a good reminder: COPY DOWN YOUR PRIVATE KEYS FROM THE DOGEPARTY WALLET. You can always re-import them to a new wallet if you forget your passphrase... or the old wallet gets corrupted.

Wouldn't the correct available supply be the "Total stellars" number?

I am a longtime shareholder with BuyaHash, live in Columbus (less than 20 minutes from BAH), have met Ben multiple times, have seen the shop and talked shop, and have bought ASIC miners in person from him. All of the face-to-face has been since around April of this year when I was working on one of my projects. His consistency and availability has always been top notch regarding any project he is vested in. Proof of this is as close as the Ciphertrade thread in this same LT Securities section. There is more than a year (before LTCGlobal even thought of shutting down) invested by Ben regarding this offering and the legalities associated with it.

I'm very excited to see the offering announcement for Monday  (https://www.havelockinvestments.com/fund.php?symbol=HASH).
