Yeah doing the PR just need to help her with the article. I was coding past couple days and hadn't gotten around to it. Will do it today.

Yeah that is why we should market. People don't realize what the client does. I think we can use the training videos to our advantage here.

That playlist also has smart contracts in action.

It seems like people are starting to notice we probably got 10 new slack users in the past couple days. And we had some people use the markets for buying/selling coins. Legitimate new users who were not from our core group. So they weren't people testing it but they are actually using it. Very good sign.

Well honestly this coin should be higher without the peg. The pegging only makes the strength of the coin more dramatic.

The thing about sys and other projects is I respect any dev that does hard work and builds out their coin or software (Halo is software and not a coin). I think there is something to be said about spending time on open source software especially when there is no cash flow. Although some projects may be objectively/subjectively better than others, the devs that stand by their project and build it out as promised are okay in my book. Imagine how many devs start a project and leave it when it becomes less profitable.

It's a really awesome way to do smart contracting (2 party escrow) join our slack if you have any questions

The contracts are 100% it's just there are more templates I'm doing for user friendliness like barter and employment templates. Also pegging takes me time. So yeah 1 year maximum two. I'm very reliable, been working on this for 3 years while turning down other jobs

This happens because their preferred contact method is email. You are automatically assigned a Bitmessage address but some people choose email only because its faster. I've considered allowed people without email to contact via Bitmessage. To accept that contract load an email from.one of the supported email providers (Gmail, AOL, outlook, Hotmail etc)

Another ICO is interesting but not yet, I'm still working on pegging stuff there is no rush. I don't need more funds for the article, I'm able to cover the rest. Everything you said is, good I suppose we just take on one thing at a time. Another idea for promotion might be another "coins in image" tipping campaign.

This is why the way we do it here is the most practical useful case of smart contracts. Since 2 party escrow eliminates all middle men and i can think of like 100 use cases for getting rid of 3rd parties each one good for humanity. Its more realistic than Ethereum, it can be used now in many industries. The key is the double deposit escrow technique prevents theft and deception making it so both sides are forced to honor their word. No fancy Ethereum contracts required!

Thanks, appreciate it

BitHalo had smart contracts years before Ethereum and on the Bitcoin blockchain to boot. It just wasn't funded. BitBay is the same client but with the pegging feature on the way, faster and proof of stake. I'm the dev so it isn't a clone, just years of hard work. And unlike ETH this platform has 3+ years of testing so its extremely secure.

Actually, crypto is very easy to buy in BitBay or BitHalo using "Cash for coins" template. Since the contracts are double deposit escrow you can use bank wire, cash in the mail, western union, or really any non-reversible payment. This is because theft is impossible in these contracts due to the deposit. And there are no fees. It's perfect for 3rd world countries that have no way of buying Bitcoin, this solves that problem.

Thanks, are you on slack? We usually talk about that kind of stuff there.

Thanks! I'm going to start getting the article together.

Thanks this year will be a helluva ride. And honestly the community has been very helpful in testing, encouraging and even with good ideas and ways to improve user experience in the client. This update seems to be our best one yet.

Thank you

Right this is a decentralized peg and it is absolutely possible. It is what Bitcoin should have done. It works by freezing and unfreezing inputs equally for all investors based on a global deflation rate. The term "rolling peg" is because it can roll the price up or down based on the inflation rate which is determined by miner votes.

If anyone wants this thread moved thats fine. Bitbay is an altcoin though however it might be more qualified as a service not sure... its sort of like a fawcet. Just trying to show people that the contracts are unbreakable.

By the way, thanks to those who chipped in so far. 

They get articles published why does it matter who their clients are?

Okay

Hey everyone, we are doing a press release with bitcoinbuzz which is about 1.4 btc ... we are short about .6 a few guys on slack already contributed. Of course I can cover the remainder but figured we would ask here first if anyone wants to chip in. Even a small amount is thoughtful/helpful/appreciated. If the remainder isn't raised in a few days I will cover it. I think their services are very useful and we have never had an exclusive on Bitbay and its features before. And one thing the community complains about is the lack of PR/Marketing. If this one is successful we would have built a good relationship which is useful in the future.

Here is the address:

Also we have about 60% of the nodes on POS 3 fork, I still see some people have not updated. So anyone who has not updated their QT to the newest version on github.com/dzimbeck/bitbay or binaries at bitbay.market please do so.

Also the markets build has been updated to 1.25 and all features tested on all operating systems. So we are doing well.
