1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coinjoin vs stealth transactions - darkcoin vs bitshares on: February 13, 2015, 10:49:03 AM
Bitshares is so undervalued its almost hilarious. Best tech of any altcoin with the most horribly failed marketing and PR.
The tech WAS attractive when Bytemaster eagerly explained how cryptocurrency can evolve to attain stable price at the early times (What a fond memory!!).
But later, their team began to squeeze future participants by first introducing AngelShares (direct funding for development, the former plan was to be fully mined by CPU-PoW which runs for years), then arbitrary changed the funding period (the funding started on 2014-01-01, the deadline changed to 2014-02-28, former plan was to last for about half a year), and ended an initial distribution phase.
Furthermore, because their team can no longer squeeze future participants by limiting purchasing opportunity, they changed the very cap of long-stated hard-limit money supply (about little less than 2x dilution) and they started to squeeze the current holders'/supporters' shares in the system!!
This act affected severely the long-term trust in the system because it showed whenever Bytemaster wanted to get money (for developing purposes), he can easily change the cap of the system and screw the current holders!
And I feel that Bytemaster's idea is good but his team's competency of execution (of that idea) is insufficient.
This is unfortunate but the reality is harsh. I hope Bytemaster learns from the past and never to invite turmoil in the futhre.
And if you go to bitsharestalk.org you can see everyone is desperate and looking for EXIT (this is surprising compared to the past optimism).
TLDR; Bitshares' idea was bright but the competency of execution is no good, the future is especially uncertain, if you're interested be CAUTIOUS!

How can I be assured that the BTT ID confirmation was done right?
I've got the confirmation e-mail and sent a PM to "Mac Red", but the site http://www.koracoin.com/checkbttid
gives me the same reply:

Your BTT ID was found. Make sure you have verified it too. At the moment you can do this by sending a PM to BTT user "Mac Red". Thank you.
Thanks!  Smiley

Update 9:
Please visit the Kora BTT ID Confirmation Topic to confirm your stake - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=673025.new#new
I can't post there because there is no "reply" button at the top or bottom right corner of the thread.
How should I confirm my stake? Thanks. Smiley

"Re: Kora BTT ID Confirmation Topic"
There is no "reply" button and I can't post comments there.
Do I have to post there to get my stake?

Is the faucet frozen? It seems that qora faucet is not responding to a correct answer to captcha.

Hello.
Qora faucet says:

Error

Does that mean the faucet is empty? I have never seen such a message before..  Huh

It means you entered non existing address.

But I thought I copy-and-paste'd my address from qora client..   Huh

Could you post or PM me your address, I'll check.

Thank you.

It might be a minor bug, I don't see that error message now. It seems the faucet is functioning fine.

To be fair to the troll it is a bit underwhelming on here.

I am confused daily why the vol on Polinex is like 5-10 BTC while coins like Monero have like 400BTC vol?

In case of Monero, external resources are poured in a form of mining.
And this acts as a downward pressure in price. That can explain a greater volume on exchanges.
On the other hand, Qora has no external resource to be poured, and the only way to get Qora is to directly buy it on the exchange.
This makes Qora so easy to be high in price, without the need to struggle against dumping by a lot of miners!
I think this is a major advantage of 100% proof-of-stake coins.

Sharecoin was surely the best. Fair distribution and the coin rised till 600 sat. Sharecoin didn't died for being free but only because the dev is interested only in the exchange Sharexcoin and not in the coin itself, that was just an instrument ( but he never asked to someone to invest, the coins were free and so I cannot say a bad word about them)


I'm a little bit nervous nowadays about PoS coins because of various scams surrounding them.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=644560.msg7200050#msg7200050

I'm probably old-minded but to be honest, I disagree with the statement:

1 -100% POS coins are superior to POW coins
2...
They are two different things, absolutely. At least, PoW coins cost fraudsters an additional spending for mining operation.

I'm a little late for original Qora, so I'm looking forward to this.

Thanks for the info.

The output number (purple) is the number of matured (30 days) outputs, right?
And the output volume (blue) is the number of coins associated with "exercised" (i.e. have been used for generating a block) outputs?

I wanted to estimate the "stake power" hoarded and intentionally not exercised even someone can do it easily if she tries.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] NEX :: descendant of NXT - Imagine Fairness! on: January 21, 2014, 02:42:48 PM

I am interested!!
In fact I was looking for such a nice fairer alternative to NXT.

BTW, NEM's author is a VERY BIG stake holder in NXT, which makes no difference than original NXT.

18  Other / Beginners & Help / Novacoin - Estimate the Percentage of Active Stakes on: October 07, 2013, 04:48:44 PM
Hi, I am interested in proof-of-stake coins.
I have researched a little about PoS and it turned out to be important to keep PoS miners actively monitoring transactions online and minting PoS blocks.

Btw, is there any way to estimate the percentage of active stakes?
I have found that PoS difficulty and netstakeweight are closely connected each other (both are shown by the commands, getdifficulty and getmininginfo respectively).
I have got the number of 343369 which is coin*day value supposedly contributing to the minting (and securing) process online.

But I could not find (or calculate) the number of total coin*day (or coin*day calculated from more-than-30-day-old coins only).
