My point is just that if we want to improve and add REAL value to Swing in whatever manner we think is appropriate, we need to do it realistically. Outline what we want and figure out how to get it as a community. If we can do that and keep doing that Swing will grow very strong. Operating in this manner adds value not because the dev made a promise, but because the community/coin is capable of evolving and improving over time with or without the dev.. and what will it do next??


This is what I'm talking about. Thanks for addressing my concerns!
I hope there is enough force within the community to make things happen.

I'm glad you didn't take it as a dev-based issue, because it's not. It's obvious that investors want the best for Swing, but they need to put something more than their btc in it if we want to go forward.

Let's create a community and figure out where to go next.

Thanks murderouskirk

Sure, and thanks for your honest constructive input! Smiley

It may take a little while for us to get there, but I think starting with the basics listed above is a great way to make progress.

The one that sticks out to me is the BE/Rich list. I think a higher quality one would be great too. I've always been a fan of Chainz.

So here's what we need to figure out. Which BE do we want to get listed on and how much will it cost?

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/

http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/index.php

We can go with chainz for the time being but improve the website and host our own BE. This is something I can provide, and I welcome any help from the community.

Webwallets should figure too. Not that hard.

What is the purpose of a market listing other than create speculation on further development?

First of all this is exactly what we are trying to avoid here. In my honest opinion speculation on further development is dumb, stale, and deceptive.

I understand wanting more market movement, but if you want that movement from drama centered around my work ethic I can't say I agree even slightly that that's a good idea. It will only lead to drama, fud, bad pumpers, and the death of swing. Instead, why don't we try to add value to Swing rather than temporarily inflating the price through development promises (..then getting angry when the price inevitably returns to where it started)?



I'm just gonna quote what I don't agree on.

It's pretty clear there's some sort of misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with your work ethic. Alas, it would be naive to figure markets are to be avoided when a new currency is created. Not sure if you are aware, I believe so though, but this model is a fantastic solution to many of our known currency issues.

My issue is, regarding this specific quoted topic, exactly what you pointed out: value. It has an inherent factor that is speculation, something that only exists when value is attached. I'm not in favor of vaporware nor deception. I'm asking what is in the pipes as for now, since it seems this awesome reward system isn't enough to grab attention.

I believe something should be done to bring this forward to other audiences. It's an important development and it has little supporters.

Regarding all your other points that I didn't quote, I absolutely agree on all, and again I state my willingness to help if needed.

Thanks for the good work. Hope you understand what I mean.

hey shapetwist, well written, but apples and oranges - - -

invest in a vc start up good luck doubling or tripling your money in 8 days ...

That's why we need to merge apples and oranges. Putting down value in the dark like this is non-sense. You wish a return after 8 days, but the odds - given what is presented - are minimal, or at least very doubtful. It's belief based. Fuck that.

Crypto should continue to be anonymous and decentralized, yet no reason for its projects to have any ambiguous and/or obscure details.

Whatever, your call.
748  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ANN- CryptBit- MasterNodes- Pos 3.0- ICO on C-CEX- Security Centric For All on: September 26, 2015, 07:41:43 PM
I'm sure someone could devise a way to calculate the odds of a coin reaching a certain price point based on various factors, though just like with gambling, probability does not always fall in your favor. Risky business.

Use your mind's eye and you will see a world of riches. Right?  Tongue

Yet it's not possible to accurate predict market prices, given the adherent factors, such as the fact there is no certainty there will be a market.

There are many kind of risks. Hypothetically, I present you an ICO filled with awesome propositions that I can't deliver yet they sound somewhat believable: you're gonna buy on the risk - or gamble unaware of its odds, which, by the way, are impossible to determine.

I'm giving the benefit of doubt, sure, but this could go both ways easily.

Worst case scenario, if there is a market above ICO price with enough support, devs can dump whatever they bought. The two weeks or whatever is after end of sale don't sound good imo. If doesn't go waaaay over ICO price, there's already 200 BTC in the pocket, why worry? Fuck the useless chain. Let the bagholders be.

Best case scenario, the project is legit and communication is poor and sketchy as hell. I mean, do you expect me to be satisfied with the amount of proof of viability presented in exchange for almost 50k US dollars? People went apeshit with Ethereum when they had a perfectly well explained project and a well-known team behind it, publicly visible.

Outside crypto, would you invest into a perfectly legitimate start-up that needs 50k and has amazing prospects? Generally, I doubt.

The odds, if we're still discussing them, can be sorted out based on this question: What is it more likely?

- to pocket 200 BTC in exchange for the given promises, plus maybe a quite a few extra bitcoins on market dumping
- spend 200 BTC developing quite a few never before seen technologies, on a fork, from a newbie account, that has no website, no references, and presents nothing than image/text based poor explanations, incapable or unwilling to show his ability to create such advances

The problem here is, we have people that want to flip a quick buck. When they're presented with something credible, it's too hard for them to understand. When they see something like this, they fucking get it, they get all hot because it sounds great and they even understand it! But they don't know if it's even possible for such promises to be achieved.

I hope I'm wrong for your sake. Again, I give the benefit of the doubt. It would not be the first time a very good coin started with such shady clues.
But if, and again, IF, this will turn out wrong, you'll be saying either "oh fuck it, I can get it back", or "motherfucking scammers". Either way, they'll have 200 BTC and even more space to come back with other project like this. Over and over.

Sorry for the rant. The main thing I want to point out is judgement, not gamble. Critical thinking is necessary if you care about your money and your investments. I am not disregarding the dev or delivering fud or whatever.

I think you guys should all try actually READING the OP and you will see this is nothing but a bunch of cloned tech put in a fancy looking OP to fool all of you morons.  On top of that, adding 2FA?  Big. Fucking. Deal.  They obviously succeeded and I'll be referencing this thread in the future to identify all the sheep.

Keep losing that BTC on worthless projects guys, good work!

I don't see any cloned tech being mentioned. Can you point me to a few coins that have done this before. It would really help me on my decision of if I want to own a few more masternodes.

Well, I'd not give much attention to that guy. But anyway, it's kinda true that's it sounds and looks based of other failed alt projects. With a lot of innovations added. Truth is, none of those innovations were demonstrated through example code or practical exposure, but by prose. Which is something anybody can do. Anybody can ask for 1000 BTC via an ICO and claim to offer such innovations, if only they're believable to some point. How many of you here have researched for the project's viability?

For a 200 BTC ICO, I'd expect a bit more skepticism from the investors. More information does not hurt; in fact, if legit, would cause a faster sell out.

I don't know what to think of this, to be honest. It smells a little, which is not good. But it offers something great, which makes it tempting.

According to this scale, I'd say make your own judgement before investing.

It's really hard to predict what the next tremendous coin will be. It really is just a gamble, but gambling is fun.  Grin

Not really. You can calculate gambling odds, whereas here you have to make a judgement whether or not to believe in the feasibility of the project, among other factors.

Surprised Bittrex didn't really help price. Guess a coin still needs a use.

Honestly I don't think it's surprising.

Interesting innovation here, which is great, but besides that it seems there's not much going on. I still wonder if the dev has further plans. I've tried to reach a few times, as a community member, to no avail.

Swing rewards are original and the development shouldn't stop there. It has great room for a long road with the proper choices made. What is the purpose of a market listing other than create speculation on further development? It's not like the current state itself has enough value for demand.

Even if the staking is great, what's its use when it has no value market wise?

Don't get me wrong, I'm on the supporting side. Just wondering what kind of work is being done.

I have some ideas for it, maybe we can all discuss something.

*Edit: This is open source, don't forget that. Some time, we'll get somebody forking this and adding other features on top of it. So I really think something should be done to protect the holders of Greed, GE and Swing, before new based-like projects come along.

What we really need though is a custom chart. One that overlays price and expected rewards. Ideally with miners cost (even estimated) though that's more challenging to get. I'm looking into getting a tradingview chart made that way we have extended history and TA tools. Ideally with expected reward and some other info on it. I don't know if tradingview charts allow more than one line though. Unfortunately the developer that I was going to have make that for me is hit or miss if he's online so.. If anyone thinks they can make something like this let me know and you might get a bounty coming your way.

If all else fails I might be able to at least make the basic tradingview chart myself so we have something a little cleaner to look at. No promises though I've never done trading charts but this is what I've been looking into lately.

If people can see the impact of price vs reward easily it will likely help. Till then we're all estimating mental gaps that can be tricky and easy to not think about.

I'm not sure I fully understand the extent of this, but I'll gladly help with all I can.

It brings a few questions. Do you want to train everybody in order for them to become proficient in getting the most rewards regarding mining and market selling? Not sure that is the best way. Once every miner figures it out we'll see a pretty consistent wave which will not help trading imo.

I think we should encourage some thought into swing and let people figure it out, giving enough information of course.

But publishing a guide/chart that will - eventually - only explain how to profit, is a no go in my opinion.

There are many other ways in which we can spark interest. The nature of the coin will be figured out and dealt with properly once we reach the right people. And then all will happen naturally.

At this point, I'd be more concerned into finding good metaphors as explaining terms, instead of providing charts. Because, to be honest, a buy side has to be built, and that's only gonna happen if the money out there understands this whole swing thing. I'd focus on that.

So here we are, with a good coin that has zero market interest.

Why a good coin? Swinging rewards have never been done before. Why is that good? I believe it's a good way to reinstate fairness into the game. Yet, miners are greedy or unaware of cost vs market profit, and stakers will keep staking because the rewards are way too good.

Keep in mind that mining costs will always vary over time. This is some serious shit.

It will bring miners into swing mode, if they want their mining to pay off. They will have to adapt to the inherited swinging nature of block rewards, which is a step up in the game. They will have to be smart over their selling, and pick it up again at the smartest time.

This is why there is no market at the moment. This is new. They don't know how to handle it. They haven't yet figured out the waves. And the lurkers haven't realized the potential in this.

Time will come, either naturally, or we might need to put up some explanations/guides.

how come it says "Q: How long does it take my coins to mature and start staking?
About five minutes."

when it's more like a few hours.

nice to see people copying spots idea of  coin swap - coin swap, I hope a bunch of a$$holes don't come to wreck it after a year plus of effort

I average 30 min between stakes, and often get two on a row, ranging between 2 and 10 SWING.

A few days into staking and I have 570 SWING, raising my position by 16%. So whatever.

I wonder if more developments are in the planning, since it kind of sounds that Swing is an experiment too, although a more complex one.

Basically the plan from here on out is just to watch the impact of the swing supply, try to get on as many exchanges as possible, grow the community and spread the word about swing.

Swing is meant to last unlike Greed and GE that were designed to live for about a month and get replaced.

That being said, as the community grows and developers get interested I wouldn't be surprised at all if holders start coming together to progress swing in their own ways in the spirit of open source development.

That involves zero work. But +1 for honesty. I'll watch closely.

And that's the point actually.

Your coins are not valued on my work ethic.

In how many other coins can you say the same?

Again, I didn't say that was a bad thing, quite the opposite actually.
Thanks for being very open to questions.

Few larger swaps coming in today.  Smiley

Down to 38% remaining.

61,836.12780935 Swing Seed Coins remain

981,644.22190792 GE has been burned

Side note,
I'm expecting Yobit to add Swing within 48 hours.  Grin

 Smiley this is fun! I like that the SHA256 algo gives a bit of an edge to those staking (since BTC miners make competing near impossible even w rented hash). Nice work dev, and props on the near instant conversion times from GE->SWING  Grin swapped a few times now and very happy with how quick I'm able to swap and get right down to stakin!

Agreed, can't stress it enough. Really good work here.

The whole Greed and GE projects, even as experiments, show that the dev is serious about it by having swapping possible. He carried his tests and didn't let down the investors after leaving former projects.
It's not the case of making a coin and dump it. There's a lot of thought into this. I wonder if more developments are in the planning, since it kind of sounds that Swing is an experiment too, although a more complex one.

What's the burn address of GE by the way, I must have missed it.


If you are trying to swap:
https://crypto.typeform.com/to/PTRRNN

If you just want to look:
http://cryptobe.com/a/FUJJ9WD5yM

Do you hold private keys to this address?

Currently yes, it makes it much easier for me to process the swap if the wallet it running and notifying me of received coins. Also it functions as a bit of a safety net for when we get down to <~10% remaining VIA allowing me to unlock just long enough let pending inputs confirm. This was a much bigger issue in GREED though as it was POS only during swap and the chain started to halt a few times as everything converted.

I can destroy the private keys once the swap ends for everyone's sanity.

Thanks for addressing concerns. Say hello to YoBit.

The developers job is not to "work", it's to maintain the blockchain and improve when required to support applications.  Build something that requires "work" and I'm sure he'll put in the time if it's worth it.

I didn't imply what his job is. Merely stated the obvious.
