please ask every question you want to be answered by Qora!

I see there is a link on the forum to download version 13 of the software.
Wasn't version 14  released 2 days ago?!

Hello.

funny image you have put there it made my laugh Smiley



--

I also discovered that SQLite doesn't free shared locks unless you explicitly call finalize() or reset() and this makes working with prepared statements a bit of a hassle. Had to write additional code to manage automatic destruction of these statements too...

Databases are hard!


Yes they can be very hard sometimes depending on the complexity of the workflow that you need to implement.

One thing that maybe you could do is to use memory tables to save transactions
in memory and periodically  dump them in 1 second timeframe onto the disk.
In MySQL (i think SQLite too ) when you create a table you can specify the database engine that you want to be used with this table. Using memory tables can improve performance but then you get other limitation
because if you need transaction and rollbacks this features are not supported in memory tables.

Hello.

Is it something wrong with http://chain.nem.ninja/
I can't open it but the API calls are working nicely.

How to receive NEMCOIN Huh

If you have a NEMstake

Quote
3. Conversion of NEMstake tokens to NEM: Owners of NEMstake tokens need to send the total amount of tokens he owns back to the issuer (my issuing account) and put his NEM address in the "comment" field of the transaction to receive the corresponding amount of NEM in the receiving address. Caution: you could lose your share if you don't put in the correct NEM address in the "comment" field.   

I assume there is still no idea on those of us with a 0.1 portion of a stake?

Hello

Hmm I think the process is the same
1 NEM stake = 1 000 000 NEMs

having 0.1 NEM stake = 100 000 NEMs
that means you will have to send the 0.1 to the NEMStake to issuer account with your NEM address that
you need to create after you download the NEM software and create your wallet.
I think that all the related info with detailed instruction will be published here in the thread and on the
1st page of this thread when the time to distribute the coins will come.
Please check this thread at list once in a while to not miss anything.

The one area where cryptos fail is in having natively txs clear in 6 sec or less, this removes any outside / thridparty centralization which can control the processing fees. As far as i know there is only crypto out there that has it which is in beta (and no im not saying which one as it doesn't pretain to NEM).

If there is a completely decentralized solution that clears tx in 6 sec please do say which one as I'd really like to take a look at it Smiley

It think it could be this one: http://beta.emunie.com/
Is in beta for almost a year.

Well thought out comment......I think NEM has the advantage over the 2nd generation coins because of the size of community, this thread is always active compared to NODE for example where it is pretty dead most of the time. I am also getting more confident about our Developers abilities and commitment.

Good devs alone are not enough nether a good community alone is not enough.
I think having good devs followed and supported by good community and the opposite could make a difference.
I hope that the majority of stakeholders in this community are not just pumpers and dumpers
that joined for a quick buck but rather people with different point of view to whole the crypto coins technology that see the big picture how this technology could improve common people lives.

I hope NEM and other good crypto coin projects like NEM will succeed and bring something new and something of value to a common man.

How many NEM is required to start harvesting? I can't remember it Sad Is it 1k or 10k? Need to input in the translation. Thanks.

Hello.
1000 NEMs is needed to start harvesting.

Hello
I have 2 nem stake on AE
What to do to get nem coins?


Hello.

You need to wait until the coin gets released
and at that point you will need send back the NEMSATKEs to the
issuer account with your nem address and once done that you will
receive NEM coins in exchange.
All the info regarding this will be published in this thread and on nemforum
so just be sure to check this thread once in a while.

If you get bored waiting you could do the following:
1) promote NEM to friends family or in other social networks
- write articles,
- translated articles ,
- do fliers design
2) get engaged to build the NEM ecosystem by helping
- translate software
- do web design
- do software development
- move your current business, if you have any, to use NEM as a currency

and lot of more...
All this will help to increase the value of your stakes Wink
749  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ORA:: Logo submission & discussion thread on: August 16, 2014, 07:43:09 AM
Hello

By seeing all the logos posted in this thread I think it will be very difficult almost impossible
to decide about which one is better and to choose the best one.
I would like to vote for more than 1 logo at time because I'm really undecided which one is better.
I think a voting system which will include all the posted logos and will give a option to users
to rate any logo from 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 would be the best solution but I don't know how this will work out
or if this would be possible over NXT voting system.

sorry for being noob, but can someone lose his NXT because of rollback? or is it only about awaiting price decline?


Hacker with 5% of NXT could easily harm the coin, dump the price, mess with AE and etc. There is a real concern about possible damage.

It's a lot of dough but it's nothing compared to the 30% of vericoin that were stolen from mintpal.
Vericoin had to rollback because the network would have been vulnerable. 5% of NXT won't endanger the network so a rollback would have been necessary purely to help Bter.

From what you said here it seems that all POS coins all vulnerable to such attacks due to centralization of the funds on exchanges. To avoid this scenario it would be best for NEM to get on as many exchanges as possible from beginning or not get to any exchange never and be traded only in some kind of decentralized way.
I also hope NEM is immune to this kind of attacks due to POI algorithm.

751  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ORA:: Development discussion thread on: August 02, 2014, 01:04:56 PM
Nxt is an ecology. I wouldnt want to and clone that. It gets too complicated and there is one thing, people will start comparing ora with this and that.

Instead i read somewhere in this thread. What do we want to solve? Probably we should look at target end users. How can we make ORA appeal to all businesses globally. What restrictions does the current coins facing?

restrictions of current coins:

- complicated setup and usage for end users
  for average Joe is diffcult to install sofware if is not one click install
  
- lack of simplicity for endusers in client software
  having lot of options in client can turn avay average joe becasue he won't understand them
  also majority of people use send receive operations mostly so having a client simple
  as paypal would not be a problem for averegae joe

- slow transaciton confirmations 1min to 10min
  due to this is not possbile to use any cryptocurrecy in stores without 3rd parties
  if you want mass adoption the coin needs to have from 1 to 10 sec transaction
  confirmations and should be able to repalce or in part visa or other credit cards
  
- bloted blockchains or data storage required
  due to this the coin can't scale to visa size.
 curretnly this does not seems a problem because the percentage of people in world
 that are using BTC or other cryptocurrency is small,  but immagine if 3 billions
 people will use BTC or ORA how this blockchains will increase  in size?!

- lack of anonymitiy (maybe)
  this could be problem for some users but for others not it depends what are the tradeofs
  I mean other features implemented in the coin for exemple someone does not care about anonimity
 becuse is enough for him to have cheap transaction costs.

That will get your account banned as posting addresses is against BT policy. Do it on your own forum

Posting tx ids or hashes isn't afaik.
Since people have to send 1 NXT from the account the asset should be issued to anway i don't see a problem.

Thanks for mentioning it though.

Hi.

I would suggest that you check this in advance with the moderator in BTT to avoid
any possible problems. (thread locking, account locking)
I remember that (K)ora distribution thread was locket when users started to post their
BTT id in it.
Maybe it will be better to have such thread on the NEM forum it will bring more users there
and maybe some of them will stay and join the movement and won't be just interested
to dump their stake.

Pozz svima.
Napokon je otvoren IPO Ethereuma.
Ja sam ubacio 0,5 BTC, za početak.
S ostalom investicijom ću pričekati; izgleda kao odlična prilika za investiranje...
no nema max. iznosa uplata, a količina novčića biti će određena ukupnim ulogom.
Sad je tečaj 1BTC= 2000Ethera, i biti će takav još 13 dana, onda se odnos malo smanjuje.

Šta mislite o Ethereumu?

Neznam, nisam ni crypti stavio ništa jer mi se činilo
da previše ljudi ulaže tj da je količina btc-a koja se ulaže prevelika za nekakvu zaradu
i da bi coin mogao biti jefitiniji kad se počme trgovati na burzi.
Mislim da bi Ethereum mogao biti balon jer je moguće da navala bude još veća
zbog para koje lupaju u marketing.

Uglavnom najbitnije pravilo kod takvog ulaganje je
da ne ulažeš novac koji nisi spreman izgubiti.
754  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NEM Official Moderated Thread - One Click Install Is Here[Updates & Discussion] on: July 22, 2014, 10:06:04 AM

Open alpha testnet has been running since 06/25 (closed alpha started in May).
Once we release real NEM, development pace will slow I think, because we will be dealing with real money and have to be careful. The community should probably decide if they want us to do that, or just wait until V1 for real NEM. V1 would be here a lot sooner if we did that I think (my personal opinion).

I think that there should be always a test net running on different port even after the
the V1 release. This would help in development and anybody willing to try to
implement some business or service based on NEM could
start to do it on test net without fear to make any loss or damage.

I'm going with ORA from now on. Should we make a new thread? I'm happy to stay here in this thread for now, but maybe after the distribution we should start a new fresh ORA thread.

"ORA, begat of Kora, descendent of Qora" (sounds a bit old testament now Smiley)

If you don't want to open new thread you can change the thread title
and also add link on the 1st page to the page in this thread where the changes and the new name
is announced.

I don't like when there are 20 threads to follow that the reason I'm suggesting you keep this thread
but from the other point of view opening a new thread can be beneficial for marketing purposes maybe. Smiley

Hello.

If you would like to sell while you are naked is best
that you go into a nudist camp.
There all the people are naked and without clothes  and
therefore they can't hide anything from you while doing any business.
Maybe it would be also worth do some buying in similar places  Grin

Kojini su tu da se iskopaju i hodlaju sve ostalo je laz. Cake is a lie.

P.S. Dobro oce mi neki mudrac rasvjetlit ovo IPO i POS nemam kad googlat sa dvoje dice za vratom! POS vise manje ali IPO nikad cuo.

POS = Proof Of Stake (provjera udijela)
znači na osnovu količine novca (coinova) kojeg imaš u novčaniku  (wallet)
kojeg držiš stalno otključanog na svom računalu dobijaš nove (coinove)
jer tako osiguravaš mrežu. "novac" mora biti u tvom novčaniku određeni broj
sati ili dana da bi počeo taj proces i da bi mogao zarađivati "novce"  od transakcija
koje se odvijaju u mreži.
Algoritam ne zahtjeva miniranje sa CPU GPU ASIC is sličnim hardverom.
dovoljno je da imaš obično računalo može bit i starijeg datuma.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof-of-stake

IPO = Initial Public Offering (početna javna ponuda) =
kad poduzeće izda dionice i ponudi javnosti na prodaju prije nego se krenu prodavati na burzi
npr kao INA i t-com kod nas ili facebook u usa.

759  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: rpietila Altcoin Observer on: July 16, 2014, 03:37:34 PM

You started by saying its not how the economy should work either way and I thought I was going to get a nice explanation of the economic effects of both but instead you then started talking about 0's.

The simple fact is deflationary currency econnomically incentiveses saving rather than spending which is terrible long term.
Inflationary currencies obviously do the opposite and incentivise spending and creating debt.

In the crypto world most have agreed that high inflation is terrible see, USD etc. However the same people seem to champion complete deflationary currencies which like I said can be just as bad in their own way. The solution is simple. Niether deflationary nor inflationary. The principle is easy however its near immpossible to try and predict how much inflation you need to keep the total money circulated (all unrecoverable coins taken away from total coins mined) at the same level. With no real precedents to follow, crypto enthusiasts will argue this for a long time to come.

Well at the beginning I thought that too but then I have lost myself in zeros Smiley
Thanks for giving nice explanations anyway.

760  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: rpietila Altcoin Observer on: July 16, 2014, 03:04:49 PM
People whining about continuous, non-zero block rewards look like fools to anyone with common sense.  There's this thing that exists called strong encryption where people that own the coins are eventually going to die or misplace them somehow, and the outside world will never have a chance to get to many of those coins.  It's the equivalent of having everyone on the planet bury their life savings on the ocean floor instead of using a bank.  

It doesn't matter. Coins are fractional. Instead of using 10 coins to do a transaction, you'll simply use 5 if half the coins are lost - because the value of the remaining coins will double due to scarcity.

Given that you can go up to less than 1 coin (with 0.5, 0.2, 0.0003 etc) it's not a problem in any way.

Yes but then you create a deflationary currency which can be argued isn't economically viable. Look at the places that have deflationary currencies and see if you think its a great idea.

Extreme inflation is almost the same as extreme deflation in both cases
the economy won't work how it should.

In extreme inflation you get numbers in currency "value" with
bunch of zeros to the right 1230000000
and if there is deflation you get the opposite 0.0000000123
bunch of zeros to the left.

In case of extreme inflation the state usually makes the money reform
and just removes the 00000 from the number like what was 12300000000
will become 12300000000 after the reform.
Maybe similar thing will happen with deflationary crypto currencies
when developer decide to make "crypto reform" and change the value 0.0000000123 to
0.0000000123 and at the end you will get 0.0001230000 Smiley

Anyway in both cases in extreme inflation and deflation the economy will won't work.
