We are looking for new developers and projects to fund, if there is anyone wishing/willing to build valuable infrastructure and services for BlackCoin -- let us know! Send me a PM here or email j.bouw@blkfoundation.org or m.morris@blkfoundation.org. Thank you! Could you outline some ideas for "infrastructure and services" just to give me an idea of what sorts of things the coin might need or want? |

Tried synching it while doing everything that was mentioned it just doesn't seem to synch properly. Always gets stuck. how i do a reset to my wallet ? sorry for the inconvenient First thing, make sure you have the previous version of the wallet, LitecoinDark-v1.1.0-pre1 Find your AppData LitecoinDark folder. Make a backup of wallet.dat (I typically backup everything). Delete everything from the LitecoinDark folder EXCEPT wallet.dat. Start the wallet application and that should start downloading the blockchain again once it connects to some peers. If it's not even connecting, create a litecoindark.conf file in that folder with the contents shown in the OP. If none of that works, then I'm sort of at a loss and a dev will need to help you. |

FYI. I run most of my wallets on an old XP system and when I run the new client, I get an Application Error. "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000001d). Click on OK to terminate the application"
come into irc #shadowcah on free node. We can help you out. Ok, I'll try and make it on there later tonight. Thanks. |

I've been in board rooms. I've been aggressive and seen others be aggressive. There are times when that is exactly the most effective way to be. Suppose I see a flaw in a product that could set the consumer on fire. Suppose members of the board are in a meeting and two of those members (myself and Mr. Wimpybutt)are speaking about the issue to the remaining board members. Mr. Wimpybutt says "...there is concern that this product could pose a potential hazard in the form of excessive accumulation of heat therefore it would be appropriate to schedule a preproduction review and then consider potential amelioration measures in advance of shipping" and then suppose I were to say "...what my dumbass colleague is trying to say is that this shit will set a mutherfucker on fire and we need to fix this shit with a quickness" - which of us is being more clear about the problem and which of us is more clearly conveying the severity of the problem? As I said, we'll have to agree to disagree on some of the things you've said, but this just made me laugh. I don't know what board rooms you've been in but if I had approached those types of situations in the manner you've outlined, the companies I was working for would have lost their contracts and I'd have been fired. lol |

I took a couple of days away, to do some rig maintenance, domestic repairs prior to winter coming, and had some rush jobs for some LASER work come in.
I come back and read all of the posts that have been made, to get myself caught up.
Two things I noticed that I want to share my opinion about.
1. FUD - it looks like some people believe fudders should be ignored in the belief that they will eventually go away. Sometimes true, and sometimes not. BUT! If you let the fud go unchallenged, a lot of readers (lurkers we never hear from) interpret that as a confirmation of the fud due to lack of beating it down. FUD should never arise and go unchallenged. It must be dispelled. Usually the fudders are having some kind of game, and cogent discourse is mostly ineffective. Hostile and aggressive response is the most effective and the response must also contain true facts (not false facts). You all can go back and see for yourself how the gypsy nonsense was working and how marginal the reasonable attempts to make it stop actually were. A few very blunt and truthful responses about the fact that teenagers were just stirring up crap and some well thought out name-calling actually got rid of them in just a few posts. You're welcome.
2. PR - many of you have a misunderstanding about this. PR is an abbreviation for Public Relations. Many of you misinterpret PR when the word you should be using is Marketing. Marketing should be all smiley and happy-happy-joy-joy. PR on the other hand, well sometimes that requires a soft touch for those seeking genuine information and those who have valid questions. PR also requires some hostility toward those who come here with no good intentions and those who want to manipulate the market by being the wolf in sheep's clothing. The marketing person should always be positive, and should only provide scripted commercials, should never ever answer a question about anything. PR should give information when it is asked for and should put a boot into the face of those who come here wanting to phuque around.
To end this post, I want to summarize/expound.
1. PR and Marketing are two different things. Marketing is outbound information only and should be optimistic, contain facts, and be informative. PR is interactive and any response by PR should be appropriate to the circumstance, be it friendly or hostile.
2. Never allow FUD to appear without stabbing it repeatedly right in the face.
3. Let the devs and the staff decide for themselves how they want to deal with circumstances in whatever way they see fit. You yourself can decide if and how YOU want to deal with circumstances that arise. If Troll wants to be passive because any alternative takes him away from achieving his goal, so be it. If Xircom wants to be passive at times and aggressive at other times, that's his thing. If you want to ignore FUD, go right ahead, but don't tell me or anyone else to leave FUD alone. I will always say and do as I choose based on my own perception and perspective at any time I choose to do so (but any of you are always welcome to try changing my mind).
Now, go buy some LTCD and tuck it between your mattresses for a little while. Keep stealing from the bots. Think well have to agree to disagree with some of that. FUD - Don't know where you think anyone was saying to roll over and take it. My point was that even FUD can be dealt with in a professional and mature manner. In fact, I would argue that using an "aggressive" approach just leads to it continuing for much longer than it needs to as opposed to just stating facts etc. Besides which, some in the community itself will "handle" FUD lol. PR, Marketing, it doesn't matter. Anyone on the team are representatives and how they deal with things reflects on the "product". If you went into a board room meeting with potential investors, one certainly wouldn't get all aggressive if someone started pointing out flaws etc in your product. You would state facts and refute their claims in a professional manner. Just because this is a forum filled with "trolls" etc does not mean you have to treat it much different. I often go into a thread and ask pointed questions. I'm not there to FUD or troll, my questions are genuine and how they're responded to tells me a lot about the people involved. I appreciate the devs etc that actually answer the questions with facts including any flaws their product may have. If I'm going to do more than just flip a coin for short term profit, I want to know that there's some mature people behind it as that gives me a sense of the potential longevity of the coin. Recently I was looking into a coin and found that there was a problem with their website and wiki. My first post in their thread was to let them know it was down. The dev immediately "attacked" me as fudding etc. Typically I would have just walked away and never looked at the coin again. But I posted again to show him that it was in fact down. He apologized for jumping to conclusions and fixed the site. I appreciated that he had the maturity to admit he was wrong. I like to look at low supply rare coins and a month or so ago I was checking one out. The dev was overly aggressive and arrogant. He would resort to name calling and telling people to get out and go to some other coin. Last I checked, that coin was dead primarily because of his attitude. At the end of the day, a coin requires 2 things in order to have long term potential. A committed solid dev and a great community. That's what I would like to see here and that's where my posts about that incident came from. |

So I found this interesting. On Sep 27th, Bob approached dasource about getting onemarket for other coins (Bob posted the PMs in another thread). Part of dasource's response: Right now expect CLOAK to deliver very soon. If you don't have a position you might want to take one.
Depending on the offer I might be interested in providing source before we open source it. You won't get first mover advantage but you'll have it before all the clones and can clearly get a major pump from it. So as of at least a few days ago now, there appears to still be life and development in Cloak. |

Interesting video and was left thinking, watch for a MicrosoftCoin some time in the future. lol |

I'm confused since the difference is > 3M. Regardless, that seems to just be the top 1000 accounts so all it would mean is that the coins moved up into the top 1000. Or do you have any actual information that there is some hack?
You do know that NXT was never supposed to go past 1 billion coins, right? There's more than 1 billion now. Someone is creating forged coins that is being accepted and they are cashing them out. No, I wasn't aware of that. Forging just pays the forgers the transaction fees right? So it's not like staking where there would be a slow increase in the total amount of coins? |

Think about it. The fact that we are relying on a public information with a twist to be secure is not the answer.
-snip-
For me it comes down to "trust" (as much as anything can be trusted) of the tech or trust of people (those that run master nodes, mixers etc). Everything has the potential to be cracked or exploited at some point but given human nature, I'd rather trust "tech" over people any day. |

Hi fudder,
Welcome to the right place. If you haven't got it, sorry you have to read all 265 pages…. Easy said… community coin owned by the community… oh… and I just forgot .. 2 GEN CRYPTO. If you're going to be the PR person, you really need to be more professional and not attack people just because they may or may not say something negative about the coin. Driving people away from a coin can kill it just as well as other things. I do not think you are right at this, but point taken! If someone asks questions that is written all over the place it should read carefully before posting ( I would do)and do to all the fudding going on from the beginning it is hard not to have this protection organism build in... if you understand my point ! I understand what you're saying. But as the PR person it's your job to present LTCD in the best possible light, even if that means you have to repeat stuff over and over again (showing how helpful LTCD is), hand hold newbs, and bite your tongue at times. lol |

Lots of promises but no features so far. Isn't that pretty much true of 99% of the new coins that launch? It's only been maybe a month and the core dev has been mostly refactoring in order to be able to move in the direction he envisions. |

Why would it matter if previous inputs were known, if future ones are not. A person could create a new wallet/addresses at this point and use the new stealth addresses to now hide themselves could they not? At least to the level that's currently available given it's not really true anon yet despite what all the "to the moon" boys say.
To fanboys of other coins, nothing is "true anon". Define "true anon".... I don't know. Since you have superior knowledge (but didn't answer my question), why don't you tell me. It is nice to see you admit that XST isn't really anon though. So unlike the fanboys of XST. |

I Just have been watching this coin for a while, and it didn't die out as quickly as I expected. Now I'm wondering what's causing this, and asked the community. If the coin had remained just as it had upon launch, you're right, it would have died. IMO it's mostly because TrollByFire came on board as the core dev and he wants to create something that actually improves upon the core tech and not just add bells and whistles like what most hyped up coins do. At this point, other than the way it's being modified to be "modular", there's not too much new in the coin. It's what the coin can become over the next few months though that is what is keeping people interested etc. |

Can the dev explain how adding 'stealth address' mid block chain provides anonymous transactions?
It won't anonymize transactions earlier in the chain (you can't change history). It will anonymize transactions in the future for those who use stealth addresses. Even if the entire history of an input is known, as soon as that input is sent to a stealth address, it is effectively sent into a black hole with respect to the identity of the recipient. As long as previous inputs are known (which they are since you added stealth mid block chain) it provides very little benefit. Why would it matter if previous inputs were known, if future ones are not. A person could create a new wallet/addresses at this point and use the new stealth addresses to now hide themselves could they not? At least to the level that's currently available given it's not really true anon yet despite what all the "to the moon" boys say. |

It makes me laugh that posters here think he is being inconsistent when he wrote 22 days long before this thread started, if I remember correctly. No one else has claimed BCX mentioned "22 days" other than BCX and yourself. Can you elaborate more on it? Narrow the search for me if I go looking for it. The interesting thing about all this talk about anomolies in the blockchain, is that you'd really have to go and compare things to how it was operating prior to July which is when BCX first started "playing" with it. |

yeah it sad when on bittrex a sell price is placed a lot lower then the going rate lol to drive the price down its so obvious lol Helllo bittrex can you not see this lol and they say they want to help stop bots lmao right .
For the record, we never said we want to stop bots... bots are a natural progression of how trading works. A high percentage of trades on wallstreet happen in this manner: "It is estimated that as of 2009, HFT accounted for 60-73% of all US equity trading volume, with that number falling to approximately 50% in 2012." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-frequency_trading[edited better data] "Today, 90 to 95 percent of all quotes emanate from High Frequency machines…… This doesn’t imply share volumes just quotes traveling on the tape." http://www.forbes.com/sites/richardfinger/2013/09/30/high-frequency-trading-is-it-a-dark-force-against-ordinary-human-traders-and-investors/What we want to stop is bots placing min order sizes to hide the order books... Please do not confuse the two. The first is an artifact of trading. Bots will always be doing it to gain financial advantage. The second is there to just disrupt the orderbooks without actually filling. Thanks, richie@bittrex You have just admitted that your bots are manipulating the prices for your own profit without concern for crypto community. There should not be such bots like yours in the first place. The whole idea behind cryptocurrencies has been to avoid imitating traditional financial system of fiat monetary exchange and financial manipulations. Bots at Wall Street - just, because something has been used at Wall Street and is taken for granted without questioning, doesn't make it right. The whole idea of bots at Wall Street was designed to manipulate the prices and increase corporate and banking profits without any social and environmental concern. Wall Street, their bots and their socio/psychopathic investor/broker addicts have been the core reason of current financial crisis. Their psychopathic trade on derivates has build up debt amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. To imitate Wall Street is to imitate psychopaths with brain damage. There was an interesting article about in Wall Street Journal (ironically) called: "Lessons From The Brain-Damaged Investor" http://online.wsj.com/articles/SB112190164023291519or how Max Keiser explains it here, in this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLDWpP4DcscWhere the heck did you get that Bittrex runs their own bots? Maybe they do, maybe they don't. But head over to the marketplace and search for C.A.T. It's a bot anyone can buy and run to do just what we're seeing. I can guarantee you that there is more than one bot running on a lot of the markets out there designed to accomplish different things. Blaming bittrex (or any exchange for that matter) for what other people are doing is just ridiculous. Whether it's bots or some guy coming along and manually putting in large buy or sell walls, market manipulation is simply the way it is and that will never change given money is involved. |
