Sure, if it makes you feel more secure and safe to think of it in those terms, then so be it.
Yes, I do feel more safe and secure believing facts. Your statement is not without profound irony: the clone becomes cloned. Hmm...
There is nothing ironic about me pointing out that the cryptocurrency is a copy. This might help you http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ironyIt's ironic because first you say CGB is a copy then you say what's to stop other coins from...copying...it. Apparently you should spend more time reading the dictionary yourself. |

Or maybe that was a rhetorical question and you're just trying to pump your own toy coins with nothing to offer other than 'volume' for exchanges and 'auctions' and 'ad platforms'...?
Learn to read, I clearly endorsed Bitcoin at the bottom of the post. If you think pointing out flaws in these cryptocurrencies will raise the price of Bitcoin you are delusional. As for your project: good for you, but assuming it is successful and open source, could you explain why it won't be forked to be compatible with Bitcoin right away? There is nothing unique about the currency itself. It is simple a copy of another currency that users are trying to get in on early. Sure, if it makes you feel more secure and safe to think of it in those terms, then so be it. But your statement is not without profound irony: the clone becomes cloned. Hmm... |

The world's money supply is huge. There will be many winners, each coin with their own niche and community and network of merchants. These are interesting times.

CGB has a lot of potential, check it out  Clone of Novacoin. Why would that be legitimate/solid? It's legitimate/solid because of the projects I'm building on top of the block chain. No other coin can claim to have the project development that CGB currently has. First project recently announced, which is a distributed datastore mediated by the CGB block chain. More info can be found here: http://MADEsparq.org.

any idea how much is left to mining ??
PoW rewards will halve until reaching a baseline of .01 per block, which is 0.5% annual inflation when coin cap is at 1 million. In other words, there will always be PoW mining. All this info is and has been on the website.  |

By the way, I'm holding off on the logo contest for MADEsparq until I get the initial functionality released for madesparq.org. I want the contest to include design theme ideas for madesparq.org. Should be fun.

Around what date will the alpha version of Madesparq be released? I'm about to get started on integration with Google's App Engine and Compute Engine. I think I'll have the initial content and functionality to be tested on MADEsparq.org in 2 - 3 weeks. First release of the PySide client is still scheduled for January/February, if all goes well. Version 2.0 of CB wallet is due to be released soon afterwards, February/March, but hopefully sooner. Of course this is all tentative but lets hope for the best case scenario as development progresses. good stuff, can't wait for an android wallet ! Yep, Android wallet will coincide with the 2.0 wallet release. |

does this coin confirm very slowly? i conducted an exchange perhaps an hour ago and still not signs of it showing at the receiving wallet?
Nope, confirms are fast actually. If you're sending it to an exchange wallet then contact the exchange. If you have control of either the receiving or sending wallet then make sure you're on the correct block chain using the block explorer: http://explorer.cryptogenicbullion.org:2750/chain/CryptogenicBullionthanks for quick reply, it is probably just cryptsy then. Yeah, they have been quite frustrating the last 24 hours. |

I'm sure this is covered elsewhere but if using an encrypted wallet in a client, how do we "claim" or "mine" our PoS? Is this automatic if there's a balance or do we have to enter some command or enable a setting somewhere?
It's automatic. You'll just get a transaction and some coins moving into the stake balance for a little while Indeed, after 30 days your client will stake coins and you'll get a PoS reward. Just make sure your wallet is unlocked after 30 days. |

Can you explain to me the Stake model in your client?
The actual proof of stake model is no different than PPC and we are indebted to King's work, except we chose not to implement a central checkpoint server. The accelerated PoW subsidy halving helps to make a central checkpoint server less imperative to implement with respect to distribution.

I received some valuable marketing input for the website and for CB in general and I've changed some of the literature on the CB website.
The changes I've made express CB to be a universal commodity and not seemingly just for business needs. A universal commodity/currency is more accurate anyways and the literature on the website should properly express it.
I've also added a couple more paragraphs in the About section regarding being more environmentally friendly than strictly proof of work coins as well as unique project development initiatives which very few other coins can even begin to claim.

I know some discussion around using vanitygen has been happening but they've been workarounds for the most part. I worked with a friend of mine and wanted to supply you guys with a version of vanitygen that has direct CGB support. Here is the github repo for the fork: https://github.com/lizzybot/vanitygen/Unfortunately no binaries right now, though it's in the works. Compile it like you normally would. Usage:The -C flag has been added for CGB. OCLVanitygen also works with this flag with the starting character of "5". There is a bit of an oddity right now though in that it is saying some prefixes are not valid even though based on base58 and the avoidance of ambiguous characters they should be valid. We're working on hunting this down as well. In the meantime, most prefixes seem to work. Like any other instance of vanitygen, once you generate the corresponding private key, use the console in the wallet app (or command line if you're using the daemon) to "importprivkey" to your wallet. Then you're good to go. ./oclvanitygen -i -C 5prefix (I pretty much always use -i for case insensitivity, though it's optional if you want a direct match for your prefix) Here's one I generated for the purposes of this exercise and added it to my CGB wallet: 5VANiTyhMuuk2CRQHRKC9epvUQUf97PcafAny questions, please feel free to ask. Also, if you think this should be its own post elsewhere, I'm happy to do that too; though I couldn't seem to find any CGB-specific forums. This is great. I'll test it out soon. Thanks! |

I do not know the English. Not so easy to engage in dialogue. otherwise would certainly suggest my help.
In Russia, few people know and is ready to invest in a little-known forks
Yes that is why good translations are important, for many countries at least. In Germany for example it is really not all THAT important as most people can speak enough english to understand I think. But a bad translation never leaves a good impression. Merc just out of curiosity, what kind of service were you using that seems to provide such bad results? Better let the community do it, there are enough of us willing to help  That's the problem. I did use forum members for a few of the translations: Swedish, Turkish, and German. lol I used a professional translator for Chinese. (quite expensive) And I used a language enthusiast/student for French, Spanish, and Italian (Italian being his weakest, but acceptable enough). And he was able to find a Russian translator online, which it seems to be acceptable as well. So, I'm hiring professional translators with real translation credentials from now on. Swedish is already being worked on as I type. Turkish and German are next. Hindi and Portuguese are next translations to go live, most likely late next week. It depends on the translators. |

Ten languages now.
Russian translation added to the CB website...hopefully it doesn't suck. lol
My tongue How's the translation? Errors have not noticed but read a little bit wrong. There are places where the translation is not very clear Some of the crypto currency content is not easy to interpret, so that is acceptable for now. I'll find someone to improve it eventually. Thanks! |

This is just a guess, but I think they're overwhelmed with explosive growth as well and that's their way of temporarily mitigating issues.

A few of the languages were from the old version of the site and we filled in the voids temporarily until we can get professional translations...but Chinese, French, Spanish, and Italian should be legit. German is okay but iffy in some parts. Dutch is iffy in many parts. And apparently Swedish and Turkish are awful. I'll get professional translations to fix what needs fixing but I'll leave the site as is for now. I'm working on something with the Abe explorer node so please use http://coinplorer.com/CGB for block explorer queries in the meantime. you can add italian aswell to the list of the awful translation, if you need any help just pm me Corrections are being made to the Italian translation. Thanks for the heads up. |
