Even with the new rules it still wont prevent these kinds of decsions. IMO untill there is some kind of major change and a move away from the 10 pt system we will always have a hard time with the judges.

Why not treat the whole 3 or 5 rounds as 1 long fight instead of treating them and scoring them on a per round basis. This will discourage some fighters from winning on points per round alone like Wonderboy or Dominic Cruz and fight to the finish.

Is that an official message from Cryptopia? This has me worried because Bittrex might do the same thing. I just bought my first Aeons which are stuck on Bittrex and I am still syncing my wallet. Would anyone here advice that I should hold bitcoins for now and wait until everything is ok?

I'm in touch with bittrex. They are just waiting for me to finalize the next update, which should be very soon.

Cryptopia is being quite bratty IMO. There is a huge difference between doing a rollback as a matter of policy because you want to decide who gets to keep the coins, and releasing a new version of the code that fixes a data store corruption bug. In fact very few transactions were broken anyway; nearly all were confirmed on both the bad and good chains.

But it is their exchange and their decision what coins to support.

I would also want to know how many nodes there are in the network. Thank you.

It is impossible to know exactly how many nodes there are, but I can say that right now one of my nodes has 19 connections and has seen 341 different nodes "recently" (I cleared peer list not too long ago and that is the whitelist size, meaning successful connections).


It is very good to see that the network is healthy at least having more than 101 nodes. Wink

Another thing I would like to know is when will Aeon use lmdb? I have an old laptop with 4gb that I use in installing different altcoin wallets to play with. Maybe it is better to use a remote node if there is any?

What is going on with Jussier Formiga and Ray Borg? Early this week I saw him as the slight favorite and now he is the slight underdog. Maybe there is a hidden injury perhaps? I tried searching for some news but everything is fine with them.
9925  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AMP - The Currency That Powers Your Attention On Synereo on: March 12, 2017, 12:43:36 AM
money made by rchain promoters today =  $0.00 !

Money made by Synereo investors: -90% of whatever they invested

Yes this was my worst investment of all time.. I have just wrote it off but one day karma will bite his ass and he can imagine me laughing..

Interesting... This has been one of my best investments.  I'm up over 3000%.  The Alpha makes me believe I will see many more 1000% increases.

How did that happen and at what price did you get in? Do not forget most of the people who invested are very clueless about investing in cryptocoins. They look at what is good to them and just buy because they have been told that it is the future.

It happened, because I'm a genius.  I was buying when everyone else wanted to sell after the first crowdsale.  I did what everyone else should be doing now imho.  You don't make serious profits buying at tops.  You look for good projects which are ridiculously undervalued like Synereo is RIGHT NOW!  Ask any of the alpha testers.  They will all tell you that the alpha is "the future!" and "amazing!"  This is a prime opportunity imo.  But what do I know... I'm just the guy sitting here with over a 3000% gain.

Ok I will give you the benefit of the doubt. My first question would be what is running under the hood in Synereo since Rchain was proven that it was not working? Another thing I would like to know is why does the new roadmap does not have any dates or projections of when they could finish each stage?

guys I'd like to draw your attention to things that are hapenning in waves ecosystem, on top of the latest mobile wallet/gateway releases:
- we launched the first blockchain platform for a political party ever
- DEX code is complete on the backend
- leasing is being tested
- we have around 5 k tx per day in the network
- we have a great roadmap for non-turing complete but very usable smart contracts
- you can send tx's in waves network using issued assets as fees
lots of other things including fiat gateways are being implemented at the moment.
next WBTC distro is on the 15th, don't forget to have your waves in your lite wallet for this.
cheers!

A question about gateways. Is this the same as Ripple's system where an exchange or a financial service will serve as gateways to the platform? Another question I would like to ask is does the DEX also has the same model as the Ripple exchange where you can trade for any currency as long as there are trust paths for them?

@Dux2K. I agree. There are 2 more weeks to go before the practice sessions start for the Australian Grand Prix. From there we will see the final improvements made by the silver arrows before going to qualifying. If we get a Mercedes P1 and P2 then expect something like this to mostly happen for the rest of the year.

Filecoin. I watched an interview of the lead developer of Openbazaar talk about it and that they are thinking about using it for their decentralized platform. When I searched for it at coinmarketcap.com, it was not there. Be on the watch for that cryptocoin if it gets added on Poloniex or Kraken.

Any chance you could link said interview with a timestamp? After searching for it, Filecoin appears to be a dead shitcoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=506345.0

Of course, if an entity such as OpenBazaar were to implement such a coin, it would definitely breathe life back into it. I'd throw a few bucks in (on the pretense that I can find somewhere to buy it) if said situation is reality.

Sure I will try looking for it. It was in a Bitcoin podcast where Brian Hoffman was a guest. But there were no definite plans of actually using Filecoin yet, but they are really considering the idea. I speculate that they need a form of repayment source for the project since there are venture capitalists who invested in it.

@thejaytiesto. Bloodyelbow, who are pundits and know what is going on in fighting sports, are saying this will be a boring fight. I said this is going to be a boring fight, but seeing it being said by the close observers and commentors of the sport and the personalities in it, I can say that is a small validation with what I am thinking. The only people who think it will play out any different are the ones who are riding the hype train.
9931  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: WAVES. Ultimate crypto-tokens blockchain platform. on: March 11, 2017, 01:09:38 AM
Now that we are seeing the development gettng faster and sasha has proven that the Waves platform is not vaporware, as a speculator I want to ask when will Waves be listed and available for trading on Poloniex? Are there still plans for a Poloniex listing?
9932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: March 11, 2017, 01:03:15 AM
I speculate that this will be Honda's last season in Formula 1 after failing to develop and build a good engine after 3 years working with McClaren. The. McClaren will follow where Williams has gone. The team will go down and stay there for a while.

Sometimes I have my doubts in Ethereum classic. There is too much technical baggage brought in from the original development team's work. I listened to a podcast that Peter Todd said Ethereum will not scale. How will the ETC team solve this problem? What is the use of the platform if it cannot scale?

There is nothing to worry about. It should not take long from now as everything is ok after the latest update.

Another thing I would like to know is how many nodes are running in Aeon. I would like to set one up and running if needed. It is the least I can do for the project.

9936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AMP - The Currency That Powers Your Attention On Synereo on: March 10, 2017, 12:45:14 AM
I have read on Amp slack that it could be a reaction to recent amp Blog post. Also, a reaction to RCHAIN scam moving on.

How ever it is, its only a short term speculation Smiley

Please buy people, buy to the moon, that I could exit. You know that AMP is the future of yours. You will become a billionaire, just buy, buy, buy. Take some loans, don't be afraid, its guaranteed success Grin 

Synereo will be the best of the best. Facebook will die and vanish! Don't be afraid, sell your car and house, invest in to the future!

RChain crowdsale will help the price of AMP, Greg's fans can buy AMP to get RChain tokens, and with that buy pressure and support, the price of AMP will be pumped a lot. But after that, there will be a dump, because Greg needs to dump AMP for bitcoins, so trade wisely. Don't be trapped again.

Greg Meredith is organizing an ICO again, and buyable only in AMP? This guy never gives up. Dor already has exposed him as a scammer and he still has the nerve to sell his Rchain scam to a new set of future scammees.

Do not buy it. Rchain does not work.

Top 2 in the latest test is more telling. Both Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel are running on ultrasofts. This might be a good hint to be on Sebastian to be first in qualifying in the first few races of the season.
9938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any place to gamble IF the Mayweather vs McGregor fight will happen? on: March 10, 2017, 12:37:54 AM
@thejaytiesto. I have never mentioned that either Floyd or Conor do not fight to win. Of course they do. What I said is this fight is a money making hustle. We are the victims of this overhyped and what might be a boring fight.

Yes Floyd will do anything at all costs to win. Even if his performance is boring.
9939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any place to gamble IF the Mayweather vs McGregor fight will happen? on: March 09, 2017, 02:30:23 AM
@Harry Callahan. First of all this is what I really think, this fight is not a real fight. This is an event to hustle money out of the fans of boxing and MMA. Both fighters will have no real motivation to knock each other out. Their motivation is money. This will be a boring fight.

It may look like that from the outside because its 2 different sports collapsing and when that happens it's always a freak show or some ridiculous, but make no mistake, those are two of the most competitive men on the planet, they hate losing, the hits are real and hurt, this is not a game, they will fight. Once you are on the ring, everything else is doesn't matter but winning.

Yes just like the 2 most competitive boxers of the world still made one of the most hyped and most boring fights the history of boxing. It is not only I who thinks so but also some of the expert pundits do too.

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2017/3/7/14830070/fight-science-floyd-mayweather-vs-conor-mcgregor-dont-believe-the-hype-ufc-boxing

In the end, we actually feel there is a great potential for this to be a boring fight. Mayweather never let his ego impose on his fighting style hence the reason for his perfect record. Floyd’s style has never been to stand-and-bang.

Read that article. It was also mentioned that those 2 are counter punchers. We could see most of the fight where both will not do anything except stare at each other.

@cengsuwuei. You should also consider what tires they were using. Many casual fans mistakenly assume that some driver is the fastest because the results said so.

Valtteri Bottas was using supersofts and Felipe Massa was using ultrasoft tires that is why they were slightly faster. Ferrari is still the most improved team based on the results in the tests. But Redbull has not shown its cards yet. 2 more days to go and then we will really see.
