Anyone left in this community that wants to see KDC get back on the map again? In the recent crypto landscape it might just fit right back in. We also still have an almost finished update of the wallet on the shelves. So if I can find some enthusiasm here, we might just start with that and do a little redevelopment of the original idea. So please, shoot  I would love to see a new wallet/makeover for KDC  |

imho slothcoin should NEVER become a token or coinswap ever unless you are trying to destroy it completely  you may not be aware of this but on Cryptopia they have a policy that coins that is hard fork or has coinswap gets delisted, and there are NO bitshares/steem tokens or clonecoins on Cryptopia or Tradesatoshi, so even if someone were to pay to relist it, highly unlike that sloth as a bts or a steem token or clones of them would be able to added there. So lets not lose the only markets on what has a been a good place for slothcoin, by making a it a coinswap to a token that will never see the light of day on any exchange. and sloth keep it strengths of being decentralized and a PoW coin with its own blockchain means even if mining stops, it can still be resumed by anyone later with just a cpu or gpu. This is not possible if it becomes a token on a centralized distributed network like BTS or STEEM or staking only coin. also you might say hey bts has openledger decentralized exchange, but it is dead platform, hardly anyone uses them, and its too complicated for newbies, so thats no good for sloth. if you really need a reason to create a token, then make it a giveaway for slothcoin holders with its own name (slothies,slothshares ?). but leave the slothcoin we have alone and allow others to be able discover it and learn mining with it now and years from now. |

Thanks VS, great stuff! I personally like option 1 (snip)
I like better option 2. 2.75% inflation is still low by today's altcoin standards, and people have to be rewarded well enough, if we want them to actually lock in some CBX to help the CBX network as masternode. Having the current low 1.5% - 2% yearly inflation has not helped CBX gain traction so far, because reward is so low. i disagree its not lack of excitement over inflation, most of the dedicated stakers are doing so because they want to support the network not stake crazy amounts to dump every day. The idea of CBX as a store of value is more important then being produced generate more coins every day. When the value of CBX goes up so does the value of those returns on staking so it not necessary to try to compensate for it now by increasing the annual amount of coins created. Also there little value in have stakers that are only interested in a quick return, the focus should be on long term holders and stakers and improving the wallet and network for them. (eg: optimizng the wallet, fixing bugs, updating the base code with newer btc source) and if it is just about a psychological effect then you can do this with option 1 and then change the block time target so they evenly spaced out to be at least 2-3 minutes apart or even 4-6 minutes apart instead of the current where we can have multiple blocks within the same minute with any spacing out, and then increase the block reward to stay within 2% inflation. This would kill 2 birds with one stone, a higher reward per block and the increase in blockchain bloat/size from new blocks could be reduced by at least 50% which is important to keep CBX PoSP decentralized by ensuring anyone can run a node on minimal hardware. There also the memory issue that still need to be resolved, an issue with they how the wallet is not orphaning blocks when a wallet splits off from the network,this prevents it reconnecting and adopting the longest chain that other nodes are on and leads to downtime as we have to take the wallet offline and resync from our last backup or snapshot. I've had to do this twice in the last month. I would also suggest looking at adoption or reworking the Blackcoin code as this is most advanced and most stable PoS coin of all imho. There is not that much difference between the effects on supply of Blackcoin PoS3.0 vs PoSP except that PoSP uses an interest rate instead of set reward. I would suggest looking at a complete rebase to blackcoin code and then make the changes required to continue with the existing CBX blockchain and provide a more stable environment for us CBX stakers. ( I also run BLK node alongside CBX node, and it uses alot less memory and never have issues with needing to resync/getting cut off from network etc) I voted option 1 as well. |

wow , guess im not the only one feelin nostalgic lol why are we here.lol ..do we sense something gonna happen with blk i heard a voice..... "rememeber the days when Blackcoin was a top 20 coin....yea well maybe it can be again..now that eth has made pos trendy again and BLK is one of the original oldest pos chains going....hmmmmmm " not the just oldest and most secured but also the coin that gave us PoS 2.0, PoS 3.0 and maybe soon we will see PoS 4 ?  |

Just so everyone is clear, once the Cryptsy case is closed, they will be disbursing an equitable settlement from the funds they liquidated back to investors who lost value. Any CBX holder who lost coins who submitted a claim on http://www.cryptsysettlement.com/ will get whatever money the receivers were able to get back from the assets they liquidated - most likely in USD. Our group helped facilitate the liquidation and will allow those who lost money to get something back sooner. When you get your money, you should be able to buy CBX. The coins we purchased are legally ours, we didn't steal them from anyone and we don't owe anyone anything. We are currently working on tech developments, marketing plans, and generating ideas to make CBX sustainable and raise the price. We are not interested in a pump and dump - the price will rise on its own simply by the innovations that are about to roll out. We have a 5-10 year investment horizon on CBX so don't expect anything crazy to happen all at once, but this is a spectacular time to buy that's for sure. If others with big ideas want to fund their own innovations and do something to help the coin that is fantastic. We don't mind suggestions at all, but we have a strategy in place and CBX will benefit greatly from these. Giving away a third of our investment is certainly not part of our strategy however. Thanks for joining CBX, looking forward to seeing what you can bring. |

What will happen with the CBX that went from the foundation wallets into the Spark ICO?

i just open an account on poswallet.com and saw a voting for cbx in add coin section (45 votes from 1000 needed so far)
what is your opinion about that exchange site guys ?
maybe we can make an effort to get listed there...
Is it an exchange? I was under the impression it just a stake pool for people who don't want to run their own wallets? Is it free to vote for coins? |

I think you're right digit.. On which nodes have you connected?
addnode=45.32.1.45:26652 addnode=75.86.123.79:26652 as long the wallet shows connection to network, your wallet will discover other peers provided the wallet is kept open. remember to to use an empty/new wallet.dat or disable staking while doing initial download/catchup of blockchain so that coins in your wallet does not interfere with this. |

Unlikely to be a suprise to anyone but BTER has appears to have chosen to be a full scam now with a plan to legitimize the theft of BTC owed to their users. They admit they are unable to cover their losses from being hacked 2 years and will issue worthless BTRX tokens in their exchange like bitfinex did to try to bail themselves out. They will not even credit users tokens to the current value of BTC, instead using the value of BTC at the time of the hack which is alot less and complete insult after depriving their users of their BTC for over 2 years now.  BTC-B’ Reimbursement and Buyback Plan 2017-03-26 14:50:36 Author: BTER Category: Tags:BTC,ETH，DASH,ETC,LTC 7170 BTC was hacked from Bter on Feb 14 2015 ( https://blockchain.info/tx/f5b0363f03e1ed8bb812c135361ea93590c831ce9f13a3750be1b93575baccc6) and we probed and tracked the stolen BTC flowing into a dark network BitcoinFog. A reward of 700 BTC was offered for recovery the stolen BTC and the bounty is still valid today. In March, 2015, when Bter re-opened, the stolen BTC was recorded as BTC-B in affected users’ accounts; Bter began to reimburse and have repaid 10% of the stolen BTC. However, as BTC’s price surges, Bter cannot afford to repay the BTC_B. To continue the reimbursement and allow the affected users to receive their assets sooner, Bter has consulted lawyers and decided to start a new reimbursement plan referring to that of BitFinex- which was stolen of 120, 000 BTC in 2016 and has solved the problem satisfactorily. The new reimbursement plan is as follows: 1) BTC-B in the affected users’ accounts is converted to BTRX tokens at the price of BTC in CNY when it was stolen 2) Open BTRX market so that users can exchange BTRX freely. 3) Bter will buy back BTRX monthly at the price of 1CNY/BTRX 4) BTRX holders receive 10% of Bter’s profit every month (Profit is distributed in CNY ) Bter will release the details of buyback every month and complete the buyback as soon as possible The BTRX trade is going to open a week later, that is April 2, 2017. Once the stolen BTC is recovered, Bter will repay immediately. We are appreciated if any analyst or expert in Blockchain technology is going to work with us to recover the stolen asset. Thank you for your understanding and support Bter March 26, 2017 They are also in bed with the QTUM scam, another grab for money by the scammer now known as "Patrick Dai" who they also helped scam with Bitbay ICO - Patrick Dai, the founder of Qtum, has admitted to using another name and running another cryptocurrency before Qtum. He left the currency after it faced controversy involving himself and did not reveal his past to potential investors. He admitted to his past after being confronted with irrefutable evidence. |

I think you maybe some of you have self forked from staking too many inputs too quickly at one time or staking before the blockchain had completely downloaded into your client.
Can you give me you deposit address and i can send 1 CAPT to it and you can report back if you get it or not.
My wallet shows number of blocks 1786150, last block 00:45 UTC Tue 28 March ( about 30 mins ago)
If redownloading the chain entirely from network, i was able to get around the 500 blocks with a bat file that closes and restarts the wallet every 10 minutes. You can also close the connections to peers while the wallet is open, it will reconnect and continue downloading but i don't know a way to automate this, but it would work faster this way without having to restart the wallet if you a have a way to do this. When you get to less then 10000 blocks its easier to just close the connections manually and at some point after 5000 blocks it will no longer stop after every 500 blocks and will continue to the most recent block.
Send me your CAPT address, I'll try to send you a bit of CAPTs.. Can you send me a bat file that can restart the wallet every 10 minutes? If your blockchain is not synced then you cannot send or stake CAPT if you try to do that might be why your having problems with it. my CAPT wallet getpeerinfo show this and the blockheight 1786229 matches yobit currently, so if i deposit there it should arrive in their wallet within the day (only a few wallets staking so will not be instant) If the blocks is alot less then this number then it means the blockchain is not completely downloaded and should not try to spend or stake coins until it is. "version" : "v1.5.0.0",
"protocolversion" : 60007,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"blocks" : 1786229,
"moneysupply" : 20481952.38815700,
"connections" : 5,
"difficulty" : 0.00024414,
"testnet" : false,
"errors" : "WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers."
} About some of the info The checkpoint error can be ignored, its because the dev has not updated the wallet with new checkpoints. This error shows in alot of old coins and does prevent using or syncing. (But syncing is meant to be faster if an updated wallet with new checkpoints for blocks is released) Also moneysupply is not "20481952.38815700," as 16926990.192505 were burned after the distribution. BannedSeller posted here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=683776.msg12927291;topicseen#msg12927291 I have marked your questions 1-4 and I'll answer them one by one to you. (I'm an expert in CAPTcoin as I have joined the initial distribution a year ago) 1. Go to http://yobit.net/en/coinsinfo, search 'CAPT' in the search box, and check the Moneysupply. Then deduct 16926990.192505 from that number (which is burnt from initial distribution). Alternatively you can check http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/captcoin/ , they have the number calculated, however it is corrected to the nearest integer. 2. In about 12-14 years, provided that no coin age is loss due to lost wallets/transactions. Actually I think it would take more than 20 years. 3. The standard fee is 0.00001 per KB, however some exchanges pay more (e.g. yobit pays 0.002). The fees are burnt instead of giving to the miner (staker). 4. Transaction fees will be the reward, otherwise it will be 0 reward. so needs to deduct "16926990.192505" from that number to get the current real supply. so 20481952.38815700-16926990.192505 = 3554962.195652 CAPT |

It great now we no longer have to deal with Cryptsy coin FUD but the question still remains over the funds from CBX foundation being used in Spark ICO.
If there is no benefit or development for CBX as was originally stated in the ICO plans then shouldn't these coins be returned to be held and repurposed for CBX only development and not another altcoin project?

POS only coins are less secure and more centralized by nature a lot of the time unfortunately. POS only coins are less secure and more centralized by nature a lot of the time unfortunately. That may be true of other PoS coins, but BLK decentralization, peer network and security is at a level that most other PoS and PoW coins can only dream of ever reaching. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/blk/#!network    Centralized is not a label i would apply to BLK as it is currently and look at that diversity and number of different countries running a BLK wallet. Is there is another altcoin that has been able to spread out like this? Of course if people can be encourage somehow to withdraw and stake their BLK instead of leaving large amounts on exchanges that will help decentralize more. |

Thank you yogg, have you tried to send CAPT to another address??
i have tested sent 10 capt to yobit and it is working sent succesfuly and the i sent it back from yobit to my capt wallet and it is working too, Thank you! How many blocks do you have sync?  Yobit is working and says 1785181. Cryptopia is likely still trying to catch up because the network is in such poor health. BX was working last time i used it but they have fallen out of sync, they do not show any information on the state of their wallets unfortunately.. |

Just look at to yobit for capt/btc trading the price is up to 617 Satoshi now, and I also have sync my capt wallet and got staking easily, I think the capt is wake up now
Can you share your bootstrap? I have a lot of difficult to download the blockchain, is too slow. Can you share your .conf file too please? Thank you. There you go. But somehow this doesn't seem to be the correct chain. It's about 100,000 blocks ahead of the chain that was at cryptopia, and I don't know about Yobit. It makes me wonder ... Would that be possible that the user sharing this bootstrap solomined the chain alone, and if the community uses this chain as the capt blockchain he'll get a bunch of CAPTs ? Are you for real? Why would i waste all that time trying to get a bunch of CAPTs? this is a 3 year old coin, 100% Proof-of-stake, 100% premined by the dev for his Captcha distribution hence the name "CAPT" (Did you even read the first page?) Since CAPT was 100% PoS so what you are describing is near impossible for anyone except the dev, and you are suggesting that i have somehow magically PoW mined 100% premined PoS coin to create 3 year long chain just so i could upload a blockchain and get a bunch of CAPTs? What would I do with them? You are obviously unaware that no exchange uses bootstraps so therefore i would have no way to deposit onto them. oh but lets see its all clear why you are posting senseless and ignorant posts here... nice freshly bought account there you have there for signature spamming threads with is it?" It makes me wonder ...
Would it be possible you are not the original owner of the "yogg" account and that your "trust" is something you have inherited from the previous owner and did not earn yourself to get a bunch of loans or cheat signature campaigns ?" If you think there is something malicious then don't use the bootstrap, download from the peer network, and this way you would also be another peer helping to keep the network alive. At the moment it very difficult to maintain a synced wallet as the main node changes its IP and without a working seednode its can take days if not weeks before its rediscovered if the wallet is restarted. ecuamobi the CAPT dev used to provide bootstraps and nodes before he abandoned the coin, and its been limping along ever since he shut them down without warning. Now with only a few exchanges and a handful of nodes, it has become a nightmare to sync from scratch, so i uploaded mine as convenience for others that are still around. If you really want to help then how being constructive eg: run a node, find us a new dev to update the wallet, help pay for some hosting on a block explorer that has the live network info so we people would not have problems and delays get their CAPT wallet synced up. |
