781  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is the impact of Fed Rate Hike on BTC prices? on: December 15, 2015, 06:05:11 AM
In theory higher interest rates should mean a higher USD compared to anything else measured in USD (all things being equal). Higher interest rates mean more "reward" (interest) for holding USD
But Bitcoin may be different. Other commodities have been weak leading into this possible/probable rate cut but not BTC. Smiley
So BTC might have it's own idea.

Based on the distribution chart on Bittrex someone holds 400k aeon there. Reading this thread makes me think it may be you. Why not move it to an offline paper wallet? I highly doubt Roger Ver would hold even 1% of that in an exchange long term.


Yes, I don't plan on keeping it there.  I wanted it to stand there for a month as a statement of support for Aeon, but I will be moving it to a variety of sources. 

I'm not sure how it is a statement of support. When I see that I tend to think that the coin is tightly held and not distributed very well. I'd prefer lots of small holders and a wide interest and distribution

Every coin has its whales whether they split up their coins into multiple wallets or otherwise disguise the site of their holdings or not. At least AP is being completely transparent about it, and stating that he's going to be spreading it around sponsoring relevant projects like Roger Ver does with BTC. I guess we'll see how it all works out.


Fair call

784  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can I design a cryptocurrency, what is a must read if I want to do it? on: December 14, 2015, 06:50:32 AM
You might think I am kidding, but seriously, I've had an idea, the idea made me think "WTF"...
The idea is so great, a new currency system, not comparable with any other cryptocurrency...

If I would want to work on my idea, what should I learn to be able to design a cryptocurrency?

Can you code? If not you could hire someone. I looked into that at freelancer but have no idea whether doing that would work out.

Have you read articles like this?

first what does a good chart look like?
Well its part art part science.   Smiley  
I know what looks good to me and I'm quite open to the ideas of what others think.

what is the timeframe 1M, 3M, 2year?
Longer the better I think
788  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which altcoin has the best looking chart? on: December 09, 2015, 08:50:11 AM
Have yet to see an altcoin with an excellent looking chart.  Trends don't stay constant.  They come and go.

Edit:  Bitcoin's run is one of the best ever.
It would be difficult to have a coin that outperforms BTC, so they all seem to be in downtrends WRT BTC. But, maybe some look ok compared to fiat or something else.
Litecoin to USD looks a little interesting for example.

As it does to the Ruble(?) https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/btce/ltcrur

PPC is similar.

they aren't that different to the way BTC/USD looked recently.

Where is the best place to look at other altcoins versus USD?
789  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Which altcoin has the best looking chart? on: December 09, 2015, 08:24:20 AM
I'm thinking about the more popular coins, although am open to any. Hopefully a coin with some history and data.
Most I've looked at don't look to inspiring when measured against BTC. Maybe some look ok against the USD or something though?
790  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XMR] Monero - Marketing Team & Tactics on: December 08, 2015, 07:19:08 AM
who is the original monero scam dev they kicked out? do we have his real name? where is he now?

thankful_for_today, i donīt know if anyone has his real name and where he is .... but you cannot call it kicked out... there was consensus to fork it away from him and community approved... thats how open source works Wink
Yeah That's how I remember it. He seemed like a good guy but its harder to do this on your own and easier in a team

Why would anyone buy Siacoin at 6 Satoshi if the best buyer is only 5 satoshi?
In percentage terms that is a very poor market.

The coin is still moving down too so it could easily get worse (in percentage terms).
If this situation is improved I will definitely buy some
I would rather look it at as the worst time to buy sia'a.
If you think they will jump back then roll the dice now!!Buy them and wait for the jump.That's how you earn BTCBTCBTC

I've put my bid in lower down, for now. Don't get me wrong, I think the coin looks very interesting but "market forces" seem to have taken hold. Too many coins released and not enough "marketing" and the bid offer spread is way too large.
We need to be able to trade more decimal places
793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XMR] Monero - Marketing Team & Tactics on: December 05, 2015, 03:43:21 AM
Monero has solved this with adaptive blocksize limits and a tail emission creating a viable market where an increase in demand (more transactions) leading to an increase in price (higher fees) actually causes an increase in supply (larger blocks).
I'm not sure I understand this. Does that mean the emission curve is dynamic?
794  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XMR] Monero - Marketing Team & Tactics on: December 05, 2015, 03:37:32 AM
... and how many credible solutions to the fixed blocksize problem in Bitcoin are there?

You are correct of course. Monero has many other important features besides privacy, that's just the best known. Either way Spoetnik's delusional fantasy deliberate trolling about 100s of other coins having the same features is completely wrong.

I have had Spoetnik on ignore for maybe a year. It works very well

This is all quite interesting.
From the OP
Quote
All businesses will use Sia as a backend for cloud storage
Does that mean to say businesses will use SIA as  a backup?

Quote
The promise of Sia is a decentralized network of small datacenters that, taken together, comprise the world's fastest,
cheapest, and most secure cloud storage platform.
So a person could set up as a data centre by just using SIA and having some storage space  and a connection to the web?

If I understood correctly would Sia be more secure than say a private network between data centres? I assume the private network would be more secure but that sia would be better than current web connected systems?
 I only ask because I recently bought some shares in a company that builds private networks between data centres, so I've become a little interested, as this seems to be one way the industry is going.

Hi all, I wonder if someone can help me out
1.How many coins are being mined each day?
2.How many Siacoins exist?
3.What does the emission curve look like?

Thanks

There are a few curves in this google doc https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15-SZfDFbw1N3sXtlBVOwm015GYtM3aqdJbSsPZWmY0w/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you. So there is roughly 1 billion coins added a month now, which will slow to about 1 Billion per year by the final coins in 2032?

Added in edit: I see all the info is in the OP Smiley

All good Smooth. I had a lot of Aeon trapped on Poloniex and you were very helpful assisting me transfer them. And 100% trustworthy, so I donated a small amount. Keep up the good work
800  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][AEON] Aeon coin - CryptoNight CPU/GPU - new dev (positions open) on: December 03, 2015, 07:37:37 PM


Although my interests are primarily in the area of blockchain technology and experimental improvements to the cryptonote protocol, I invite others to join the project and work on other items such as a GUI wallet (though we can likely adapt existing GUI wallets from other cyptonote coins), mobile wallets, marketing, etc.

I have created a new donation address for the project. The amount of donations received will have some influence on the pace of work, largely because it allows me to gauge the interest of the community in a credible way, and I'm less interested in working on something that no one cares about.

How is this all going? I did make a donation previously and am happy to donate more if appropriate. Where are we at?

Thanks Smiley
