Royal Plea for the opening of the Stone Market
His Majesty is not pleased with the situation that his Palace and many other planned great buildings have not been constructed, due to some citizens' hoarding of stone, while the willing builders must go without.
We are (still) not willing to touch the dirty trade of dealing with stone ourselves. To encourage someone to start a stone market, which would enable buying and selling of stone in the same way as King's Coinshop allows it for gold, we are willing to grant him either:
- 25,000 stone, or
- a loan of 100,000 stone, payable in 100 years.
The practical arrangement would be a page in Character and Resource Database with buy and sell prices and maximum quantities. The administrator can perform all the practical tasks, as long as the price setting is the merchant's duty. In case of stone, even higher spread than 10% could well be instituted.
If it please HM, I, Luigi Romano, would be willing to open a stone market for a gift of 35,000 stone. (Is bartering with HM conscionable?) Mr. Luigi Romano's resources for offering such a market are currently weak. Our Majesty is contemplating that 50,000 stone would be purchasable (at minimum) at one price, and the total stores should contain hundreds of thousands. Mr. Luigi does not have the moneritos with which to buy stone, neither has he himself the stone for the starting stash. Furthermore, HM stash of stone is only 27,000 which can be fully granted but not more. Can we have a more detailed explanation concerning how Mr. Luigi would be able to operate the market? As Mr. Luigi always says, where there's a will, there's a way.Let it here be known that Mr. Luigi is in one accord with HM regarding adequate stone reserves for market making purposes. Mr. Luigi recognizes that he has limited avenues to procure needed reserves, but that he would be seeking out (possibly undisclosed) arrangements with other, larger holders of stone and/or moneritos to fulfill reserve requirements. He further proposes that 250,000 stone be an acceptable initial reserve for the beginning of his market (approximately 12% of current total supply). His market charter would be suspended if he drops below 2.5% of total stone supply for more than a 10 year period (5 real days?) (Mr. Luigi is open to suggestions here as well). Furthermore, Mr. Luigi feels it appropriate that he have a location for his market in F zone. He feels that the presently up-for-auction F1 block is not close enough to the "Giant Heap of Stone", but recognizes it could work in a pinch. Mr. Luigi would accept the gift of 27,000 stone but would be most interested to hear what HM could offer regarding needed monerito reserves (Mr. Luigi recognizes that HM's monerito holdings are presently 0, but he is not sure why that is). Mr. Luigi suggests that, at a minimum, he be allowed to exchange 100 of his own CKG for moneritos at the King's Coinshop for 0% margin, giving him (presently) 23.8 million moneritos to add to his reserves. Mr. Luigi estimates that a significant stone supply/demand imbalance will exist for the foreseeable future, and therefore places less emphasis on monerito reserves than stone reserves. Mr. Luigi will also respond here if/when he manages to obtain the proposed 250,000 initial reserve, of course still pending review and approval/changes/suggestions from HM. Mr Luigi, I might be interested in a joint venture. I will send you a PM now to precise my proposal. This is great news! Already as we speak, Mr. Luigi is privately working out details for a possible arrangement with Mr. binaryFate. Now, regarding (non)disclosure of contracts/agreements, Mr. Luigi feels in his particular case it would give undue leverage to any prospective future partners to know the details of his current agreements. However, he also recognizes the need for an arbiter to know the details should a dispute arise. If it please HM, he proposes: 1. Both (or all) parties discuss and find agreeable terms; 2. These terms are drafted in official form; 3. Both (or all) parties digitally sign the document; 4. The signed copies are kept privately by all parties; 5. Should a dispute arise, the disputing party can present his copy(ies) of the terms, signed by the other party(ies), for arbitration, with it being immediately known and accepted that these are, in fact, the exact terms agreed to by the other party(ies). Considerations: What signing algorithm do we use? (can XMR be used to sign messages?) Should there be a central (yet private) storage location for these and any other contracts? Do we need an additional field associated with each character holding their public key for signature verification? |

Mr. Luigi bids 21 million moneritos for F1 as a potential location for his potential market.

Devs
Is there any, even very very small possibility, that some two people generate the same address and private key using BETA? Is there some checking to not generate the same address?
It could happen on the same day that you get struck by lightning, win the lottery, get hit by a neutrino, and have your body ripped apart encountering dark matter. I thought we get hit by neutrinos constantly it's just that noone notices ? They even had a hard time building a detector for those little buggers. Yeah you're right. I think about 100 trillion neutrinos pass through your body each second, they just interact very very weakly with matter... As analogies go, that one failed catastrophically  Very quickly doing the maths: each private key is 66 characters long, each entry can be 1 of 36 characters. The total possible number of private keys is therefore 36 66 which is a staggeringly huge number; 5.2 x 10 102. The likelihood of someone generating the same private key as you is vanishingly small - small enough to treat as 0. Good math, but your assumptions are not quite correct. It's actually a 64 digit hexadecimal number, so 256-bit, just like most BTC private keys. BloodyRookie above has it right; it's a significantly more likely, but still vanishingly small chance.  Base-36 wouldn't really be used anywhere that I know of. BTC WIF uses Base-58 for example, but "raw" private keys would typically be represented as hexadecimal as here. |

"We do not know Ryan's current location, and he is unfortunately the only one with access to customer funds." - Mintpal, twitter. https://twitter.com/MintPalExchange/status/523939006988701696Ryan is probably on the run/cashing out. This is disgusting, everyone at Moolah.io needs to be prosecuted to the highest extent, I'm sure the other members knew better than to allow 1 guy access to the customer funds...They're probably all in on it. Very hard to just take people at their word on the internet, but this definitely presents an alternate viewpoint: http://pastebin.com/VYpQ5CWA |

So wait you guys are trying to prove bitcoin is being manipulated as much as gold??? I don't think that's a selling point at all gold will probably near $1,000 soon, so btc to 100?  Personally i think bitcoin price action has gotten boring so it's trading like gold for the past few months is all. Very true... I expect this to continue for a while! So wait you guys are trying to prove bitcoin is being manipulated as much as gold??? I don't think that's a selling point at all gold will probably near $1,000 soon, so btc to 100? Personally i think bitcoin price action has gotten boring so it's trading like gold for the past few months is all. Gold will not hit $1000 any time soon LMFAO! It will before it passes 1,300 again that's for sureGold is currently at 1,399... Lmfao!! Thank you explorer, this is why you can't even have a decent conversation on this forum... people don't even bother to check the price on something before they claim they know the value or price on it! Im sure when he realizes how fast gold dropped from t he 1,399 he thought it was to the 1,230 it actually is he would be able to tell its going to 1,000 soon  If anything is "for sure", it's that you have no real idea what future prices will be. $1,300 is certainly far more likely than $1,000. That proves you have no idea what is going on in the gold market right now....... Well, since you clearly know better than the market, I expect you should be making lots of money in this particular case. |

PLEASE BE FASTER WITH THE STAKES DISTRIBUTION!!! I´M ANGRY THAT MY ACCOUNT WILL HACKED!!!!
How about you just don't let it get hacked ? Besides if you already registered your token you don't need to worry about it. If your stake is on the AE then you don't need to worry about it either since NXT accounts usually don't just get hacked unless you chose a weak password in which case it's all on you. Use CTRL+F. You are there. AND STOP WITH THE CAPITAL1!!!!ONEONE Tell us how you really feel. |

If any of you ever wonder what we are working towards, it's this: to make the lives of ordinary people better. I just had my credit card number stolen and had to call the card company to get the current card cancelled and to get a new number. Now I don't have a credit card for a week or two and I will probably get fined by the phone company when they have trouble billing me If NEM were the default currency of the world, the scammers would have only had my public key. Every time you use a credit card, it is the same as sharing your private key with someone. It's an insane system. Let's hope NEM can help create a new world economy that isn't based on madness. Even if does not seem so using credit card == living on debt! I have never used one and i hope i will never have to!  Use the plain old cash or NEM to pay the bills and you will be safe!  Yes, everytime you use a credit card, you make everyone poorer because you are creating money. The problem is, you can't use cash online. That is why we need NEM so badly Going into debt does not create money. You are wrong. When you use your credit card you immediately increase the FIAT money supply. It's a bit more nuanced than that; fractional-reserve banking is the culprit, not credit cards. Either way, if using a credit expands the money supply, paying said credit card off shrinks it back to where it was. If you keep credit card balances, sure you're living in debt. That sucks. Don't do that. But with just a bit of personal responsibility, they are very convenient for everyday use (identity theft and other risks notwithstanding). |

IT IS A HIGH TIME TO CREATE DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGES!
Bitshares X? anyone used bitshares x already? it hit pretty high in coinmarketcap but I never read about how it works or used it. Looking at the wiki http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/Bitshares_X right now well it hits high probably because there are 2 billion of it lol If Dakrcoin had 2 bln coins our marketcap would be more than bitcoin's marketcap. aehm... no! thats not how it works. people use the marketcap to recap the value of the coin He's saying if DRK had 2B coins outstanding and the current price stayed the same, it would have a higher market cap than BTC. Yes, he is saying that. However, it's still meaningless. Dude, what you call a "meaningless" comment was a reply to the meaningless comparison of quality and market-cap. If we were to trust coins or value them based on their marketcaps then ripple would have been my #2 choice but the reality is that we can't. p.s. wtf are you, a philosopher? Looking for a meaning in everything lol I don't see a "comparison of quality and market-cap" anywhere in the post prior to yours. It appears to solely be an observation. You shouldn't "trust" a coin based on its market cap, but it's useful as a "take note" factor (seeing as it's kinda a proxy for market "trust"). Thus, market cap has some meaningful value. You get to decide for yourself how much value. Conversely, coin supply is almost completely meaningless and irrelevant from a value perspective, except in outlier cases. |

Requested my withdrawal of 193 DRK. (I reported 190 DRK earlier, couldn't remember exact amount.) Will update if/when I receive it.
Withdrawal of 193 DRK (first reported 190 DRK) complete and confirmed. The TX hash showed up in Mintpal when it was generated under "Withdrawal Status" (previously said "Requested" or something like that), and the TX popped up in my wallet a few seconds later. Confirmation in a block followed within a few minutes. http://bitinfocharts.com/darkcoin/tx/f657a59a578306d5d8822df3819badedfaec172de837c5f8e9a9368f68459e1dEDIT: Based on the timestamps for these posts, it took approximately 1.5 hours for my withdrawal to go through. So this is coming from that big wallet that originated from a bunch of known MP addresses. It's possible these have all been legitimate withdrawals then, I guess, which would be very good news for all the others with DRK stored in MP. His TX: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/drk/tx.dws?612821.htmLatest in the "chain": https://chainz.cryptoid.info/drk/tx.dws?613190.htmThe random amounts actually match what you'd expect to be withdrawals pretty well. Yes, considering that this wallet currently has around 5% of all DRK, and is the 3rd-richest DRK address, I think this is a pretty good sign for DRK holders on Mintpal. Maybe the earlier transactions that we saw from this wallet were legitimate withdrawals to people who had requested them via e-mail or other something? Possible. I was thinking you could cross reference when the transactions happened vs when the exchange was actually up, but that wouldn't prove anything really. There could've been a lot of queued withdrawals from before it went down the second time that they processed manually, etc. It just seems likely to me that if one guy was going to scam the money from that address that he would take it all, rather than "only" 50-80k or whatever. So I'm hopeful for folks (I don't have any DRK in MP, but do have a small amount of some other coins). Yes, something like queued withdrawals could explain it. I mean, clearly they have a lot of DRK and they are not doing anything to hide the fact that they are disbursing payments from that wallet. Hopefully 265,000 DRK is enough to handle everybody's accounts. It would be nice if other people started posting TXID's and blockchain explorer links to other coins that MintPal controls so that we can monitor the addresses. The bigger coins in particular would be nice, like DOGE, XMR, XC. And of course BTC and LTC.Just remember folks, MintPal was around before Alex Green / whatshisname / Moolah came around. It was presumably run by honest people (although they did get hit with an exploit). I don't think they would just completely hand over the reins to Alex Green and retain no oversight. I do have about 78 XMR in there, but that's one of the daemons that are listed as being "currently unavailable". I'm not sure how much success you have tracking Cryptonote blockchains anyway? My small amount of BTC (0.078) is also "Requested", but BTC is listed as "currently undergoing a rebuild / reindex". |

WTB 280,000 DRK $60,000. I will pay escrow. Payment as fast as banking allows, 24-48hrs. Can do $ or BTC.
@ $0.21 each? I presume you meant $600,000.  If you want to support DRK, please buy some of it on the exchanges! It needs all the support it can get to recover from the MintGox crash. I think he's facetiously trying to bait this wallet: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/drk/address.dws?XpE6Yfhd3detzyRpL7YQiGBjRLzHBhrKKY.htm |
