Can you tell me which tweet this image is taken from? Is it a screen shot, or an image posted to a twitter account?  Thanks.

Regarding this image, since it's not in the police's official site (https://www.police.govt.nz/search-results/cryptopia) I'll believe it's fake until proven otherwise.
It is made to look like someone contacted New Zeland's police and this is their answer in a personal message, but it'd be an omission from the police to not include such important information in an official announcement.
This is why I believe it's fake.

Hello,
  where is the best place to stock ark ? I don't want check every month it's for long term.
Thanks in advance.


If you're going for the "best" that would be a hardware wallet.
I'm using Ledger Nano S for that purpose.

If you want the 2nd "best" method when it comes to the safety of your private key, then a paper wallet will be enough as long as you don't lose the paper.
You can find the official paper wallet generator here: https://arkecosystem.github.io/paper-wallet/

What happens the price keeps burn and burn. It seems that they realize that this coin will become no value due to unlimited supply and no block halving.

Which I think may affect the price of this coin.

just forgot to sell my coins on early bird.

the reason why price of coins like this falls is because of their large supply + the large amount that is being injected in the market per day. from what i understand it has 1 minute block time with 50 coin/block reward. that is 72000 coins per day being injected in the market (compare to bitcoin's 1800 BTC/day it is 40 times bigger).

in other words it is a fast increasing supply while the demand doesn't exist or if it does it can't keep up with the supply.

The block reward is 60, not 50. But the GRIN's emission rate and its "fair launch" is similar to Ravencoin's. Because of that I believe it'd be helpful to take a look at Ravencoin's price and compare the inflation of both.
After this is done, everyone should weight the usability and goals of the two projects and decide if they believe GRIN will do better or worse than the historic data from Ravencoin.

I'd like to repost my calculations here,

I calculated the today's monthly inflation of Ravencoin and Grin,
  • Grincoin adds 2.201% more coins every month and it's about 13 days old.
  • Ravencoin adds 0.0776% more coins every month and it's 13 months old.

In 1 year the stats will look like that,
  • With 32,713,560 GRIN in circulation, there will be a 0.0792% monthly emission, that will be very similar to Ravencoin's 1 year.
  • With 5,411,920,000 RVN in circulation, there will be a 0.0399% monthly emission.


But what I'm most interested to compare is the emission after RVN halves the rewards.


These will be the emission rates 4 years after the genesis block of both coins (January 2023 for GRIN and January 2022 for Ravencoin). Both chains will be at block 2,100,000 after 4 years.
  • GRIN will have 126m coins and the steady block reward will be equal to 0.0206% monthly inflation at that time.
  • RVN will have 10.5b coins but the block reward will be halved to 2500 thereafter. This means 0.0103% monthly inflation (after the halving).

It seems to me that for the first 4 years both coins have a very similar inflation pattern. By the end of 4 years both coins will be at a very low 0.02% / month.
However, after that Ravencoin will start halving (every 4 years) and the inflation rates of the two coins will start diverging until after maaaaany years RVN won't be able to halve any more.
The question is, how important will this 0.01% difference be when it takes place in 4 years? How will all the other factors weight in (recognition and acceptance, usability, technical advancements, investors' liking)?

Omg the price right now is $5 which is too low compared last 2 days ago I thought that the price will continue to increase but right now the price keeps dropping.

It seems that only early miners already made their profit and keeps selling.

Miners who mine in f2pool I'm sure you are now regretting.

Personally I'm holding and I'll even buy some as it got cheaper.
This is a top100 coin for sure, it has a fair launch without any premine and a strong community support. Even Bitcointalk is accepting GRIN for payments (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098450.0)

Do we have any update about the NZ Police investigation? Either from Cryptopia or the authorities.
The news keeps coming and it will be good to have something more solid about all of that. Roll Eyes

The only valid source for information is the police's official site,
https://www.police.govt.nz/search-results/cryptopia

Ofcourse we might hear something from Cryptopia too, but I doubt they'll be able to say anything before the police issues an official statement.
So far, nothing new here,

Ark is not going to be list on Coinbase
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/07/coinbase-considers-adding-30-new-cryptocurrencies-including-xrp.html

Sad! I lost so much money in this crap.

I have to say Ark V.2 is solid! Dynamic fees is great!

Look like a dead community and a dead project.

Ark is the best! Ark have the potential to take down Bitcoin but I don't see all Ark team members are good or doing the work, still, not affect the potential of Ark as a whole.
I often don't see people realized how Ark influential so many copycats and taking Ark ideas as their own, one example is vaporware scam Lisk. There is never been any Blockchain offer or use "Interoperability" before Ark and now almost everyone using it.

I guess next comes an "ARK sucks" comment? Roll Eyes
This guy is really confusing me.

Hi,
Does grinmint supports 31 algo?
Please suggest a pool for 31 algorithm with not big minimum payout...

Yes you can use grinmint.
Do you see that there are two numbers at the "Current Hashrate" and the "Average Hashrate" ? The first number (before the '/') is the c31 and the second number is the c29.
Unlike f2pool which has two different payouts for the two algos, grinmint seems to merge them. Unfortunately I'm not willing to use Linux to mine c31 so I haven't try it.

It's good to see GRIN is taking a similar path to Ravencoin but (1) with a more interesting goal, (2) a better name, and (3) a good plan to integrate ASICs without making them enemies or allowing them to centralise the network.

For a price prediction, I'd look at Ravencoin's price and expect a similar movement but with a better long-term outlook.

You cant compare price I think. Because Ravencoin have max supply coins and Grin dont have. Crin is interesting for sure... but unlimited coin a little scares...

But Ravencoin won't hit the max supply for over 20 years... to be honest I'm bored to calculate it exactly with the halvings that will occur.
I calculated the today's monthly inflation of Ravencoin and Grin,
  • Grincoin adds 2.201% more coins every month and it's about 13 days old.
  • Ravencoin adds 0.0776% more coins every month and it's 13 months old.

I changed from F2Pool to grinmint.
After some updates the Bminer doesn't produce so many rejected shares in this specific pool as it did before, right now I have 1302 accepted and 33 rejected (97.5% success rate). That's great!
However my average hashrate per 1080ti is shown as 6.00 while the miner and F2Pool's average were both showing 7.50. Any idea why could that be?

after update to 2.2 cant see ledger nano s ...anyone with same problem?

I don't remember when 2.2 was released, but I didn't have any problem with ARK 2 weeks ago when I last used it with Ledger Nano S.
Check for a firmware update on your Nano and if the problem persists, uninstall and re-install the ARK's app in your Nano... though if you have a firmware update it'll clear the app memory anyway.

Got a payment today from F2Pool to BigOne (b1.run).
Unlike what I had read from many people, the payment from the pool wasn't delayed, it was automatically sent about 10 hours after I had reached the payment threshold.
It took BigOne at least 4 hours to update my profile with the deposit, but AFAIK there's no way to know if it was a delay from the pool's side or the exchange's.

Now I'm sitting with 5 GRIN in BigOne but I can't withdraw from them. Since they offer 20 USDT to new accounts which deposit from F2Pool, I though I'd do one payout to them, trade my 20 USDT to GRIN and then withdraw all the GRIN from there.... but I guess I'll have to change my plan.
In any case my account hasn't received the 20 USDT yet.

Also be warned: BigOne requires identity verification before withdrawing anything

can you support grin C31 algorithm?

right now,,seems we only have C29 algorithm?

I came here to ask the same thing.
Shall we expect anything or is too troublesome to develop it? I understand that c31 will be ASIC-mined but the ASICs take time to be developed.
I guess we might see FPGAs sooner or later and because of that you might decide to not support c31 on your miner... in any case please let us know of your decision!

If the cryptopia hacker can't spend the stolen funds maybe cryptopia could offer the hacker 10 pct of the total too return it i don't know how something like that would work but it's worth a try I'm sure cryptopia users be way happier too lose maybe 10 pct and get there accounts back if possible just a thought I'm sure it's pretty hard too execute a plan like that but desperate times. Desperate measures

Honor among thieves huh? Roll Eyes
I like the idea, though I don't see it happening!

Not very nice if you ask me... he requests in the rules to change the signature before applying and even though I was over-fulfilling all the criteria he just changed his mind and didn't accept anyone.
Isn't he allowed to do anything he wants in his campaign management? May be later he thought it worth less to re-run the campaign. We just don't know his mind.
Campaign manager has all the rights to change the rules of the campaign at anytime. Like you said yahoo might change his mind for running the signature campaign now or he is going to relaunch with new requirements?!
I didn't say what he did was rude or unacceptable, just that "it wasn't very nice" because (1) there was no post about it and it wouldn't hit on people's watchlist and (2) he changed his mind just 2 days later.

Well anyway... sorry for sliding off-topic but I didn't want to be misunderstood. No hard feelings here! Smiley

at this point, when a single IT operator can have access to all the private keys of an exchange, that handle million of dollars, I think any exchange will ever be 100% safe. When the prize is higher than a certain amount, there is no honest man, everyone has his price.

AND, cryptos are barely traceable.

I belive the solution is actually simple.
The CEO splits the private key in multiple parts, he holds half of the key and plits the other half to 2 or more parts. Then makes copies of each part so that at least 2 copies of each part exists and splits them to other executives. Even if one executive leaves in bad terms, there should be another copy.

Alternatively, splitting the key to 2 parts, one for the CEO and one for a lawyer should also be fine.
In Cryptopia's case it seems they were holding the keys to servers... Very clever!

Guys, can you recommend if where could I host a Linux OS safety as my grin wallet?
I'm a windows user and I don't have much space on my laptop to install a virtual machine OS.

Planning to use the website host from hostgator or goddy that you can access via SSH could you think is it worth to use as wallet?

I'm also a Windows-guy but I remember there used to be ways to run Linux from USB (though last time I talked about was like... 11 years ago).
A quick search brought me to this guide: https://www.tecmint.com/install-linux-os-on-usb-drive/
I've done a quick read through it and it seems to be a good guide, maybe that'll be what you'll need!
