DOes mining this coin slow down your guys internet really bad too?

It should not. But, what is your connection speed?

At http: //webdollar.yo  shows my balance in the wallet zero. I had more than 13,000 coins two days ago...  Huh

The protocol was updated yesterday, all addresses reset. This is normal in testing. All testnet coins will be reset eventually.

So, nice name but your main advantage seems to be the ability to mine in pools - will the pool system be available at the Main Net release?

Yes, the pools are planned to be working at mainnet.

I mined coins yesterday all day and got a few thousand. Today there is nothing in the wallet. Do not waste your time on this.

This is normal with a test net. Time was not wasted, you contributed towards antifragilization of the protocol and you and all who are mining now will benefit at main net from a sound and secure protocol. Thanks

In 2009 there was only one person which did belive in this system. And this is why he was able to mine those many blocks. We can also start the mining on our protocol in private and the publish on internet and those 9.9% to be mined not premined. But we want to give our community the opportunity to have equal chances from the begining and with those 9.9% we will help the WebDollar ecosystem to growth for all those hundreds of miners we already have in our testnet daily and for their trust and support in our project. If you're accusing WebDollar being a scam just ask yourself why we didn't any ICO? It would be easy to do a scam with ICO instead staying months only for developing the tech. Please check our Github for seeing how much work is behind our project which you're accusing so much https://github.com/WebDollar/Node-WebDollar, after you will understand what you are doing here is not fair because behind WebDollar are thousands hours of work and tens of missed nights for releasing a great tech. Only the marketplace, miners, and time will decide if our work has a real value or not, even we belive a lot in WebDollar potential Smiley In conclusion, be fair and have patience for seeing what will happen next. Thank you!

You initially wanted to do an ICO, but now you thought you have subtle ways of scamming people. You rebranded the pump-and-dump scheme as 'Initial Release Event'. That's how you want to differentiate from other coins? By stealing less? "But it's only 9.9%", cheap supermarket price trick.

Idiots.

There was no cheap supermarket trick. A precise 10% would not have allowed for an initial block reward of a round 3000, but of 2997. That is why it is 9.9%. As for "premining, therefore scam", it's a straw man. All protocols with ICO are essentially premined. And not all ICOs are scams, of course. Not even all the failed or failing ICOs are scams, some are just unfortunate or ill conceived projects. As are a huge majority of the start-ups.
And accusations of stealing are of course ridiculous.

 Do you have work on the site? you said that now the test mode, please let us know what's going on ...
  

     1. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3257668.msg33986631#msg33986631   The coins were transferred from the account without my participation, how?

     2.  next entry .. a long download is in progress, the slider (number of cores) is not working,
  balance zero and new address??

     3.  several (5-10) login attempts, but there is a download and nothing happens ...

     4.  deleted the folder%appdata% the browser webdollar ... launch - there is downloading nothing happens ....    what am I doing wrong?

  p.s. my brother (we live in the same city, if you think that the reason for the IP address) on the account was more than a million, after the restart on the account zero ...


As I understand it, the protocol was the victim of its own success. A sudden spyke in miners after the bitcointalk announcement prompted for code optimization and all the wallets are reset when this happens. It's a test net after all and it will all be reset finally before the main net. So, everybody was reset, not just you. Your inputs are helpful, so stay around and help with improvements.

This looks like an alternative for NIMIQ, also a browser based Blockchain project.
Webdollar allready has tokens that allow Smart Contacts in jawascript and anonimity superior to bitcoin.
This is a false statement. Webdollar does not have smart contracts and will never have anonimity because was not designed from the start with an anonimity goal (unlike Monero).

so we all are on equal ground at the start
How can this be true when the premined is 10%. Just picture this: for all the webdollars to be mined it requires 100 years, the premined is 10%.
Equal ground for sure.

The same amount of the premined 9.9% will be generated towards miners in the first 10.5 months from the mainnet. Can you read a chart, liar and slanderer?

A considerable part of the premined will be used for marketing, bounties and financing of future tech development, such as anonymity. And you are either ignorant or lie about the smart contracts capability. Probably the later, hater.

Interesting project.

Mainnet will launched in ...?

There will be a countdown for mainnet.

Why WebDollar is a shitcoin.

1. Pump-and-dump scheme
The sole purpose of the webdollar cryptocurrency is to create a pump and dump scheme at the expense of the so-called 'investors'.
How? Selling premined coins through their website (advertised as an exchange platform).
The currency is advertised as an investment and they are creating hype ("we expect the prices to spike very fast seconds after the release" [1]).
On the day of the dump (called 'Initial Release Event') the premined coins will be sold by the webdollar founders.
Be aware: they advertise webdollar as an investment, but they are not registered with SEC.
Selling webdollar through their website will be illegal.

Videos:
They don't want to register a company because they don't want to be held liable for the pump-and-dump scheme. (https://youtu.be/6YAEtqtL_So?t=9m30s)
Webdollar is premined: https://youtu.be/p3zC7u_KRAY?t=3m51s

[1] https://medium.com/@adrianmihaistratulat/not-another-ico-56cd4c6fe0c4

2. Developers have no experience in the cryptocurrency community

The webdollar project started 6 months ago. Before that, the founders had no experience in the cryptocurrency community.
Now they are already advertising that they are 'specialized in blockchain applications'.

Examples [2]:
a) they don't know about constant time cryptography
"Cum naiba poti sa scrii altfel ca sa verifici 2 hashuri daca sunt diferite?
for (let i=0; i<initialHash.length; i++)
if (initialHash !== myHash) return false;
Sa mor eu daca poti scrie altfel codul aceasta si sa fie mai eficient.
Este aproape atomic, tinand cond ca initialHash si myHash au acelasi lungimi si sunt reprezentate pe 32 bytes."

b) they don't know about PQC

"Deobicei fuunctile criptografie lucreaza pe 2^256 si sunt vulnerabile la calculatoare quantice." it is trivial to switch to a 512bit hash function to negate quantum attacks.

c) The lead developer doesn't know what a commitment scheme is:
"Commitment scheme 101 is used in zero knowledge, we don't have zero knowledge at the moment."

d) The lead developer is involved in mass media manipulation with Mihai Gadea and Dan Voiculescu, he also received MONEY from Dan Voiculescu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvkunqseC9M
https://youtu.be/zraL-jpEhgY?t=14m10s
[2] https://silviu-s.com/webdollar-coin-internet-newest-internet-cryptocurrency/

3. Webdollar is centralized

Premined currencies are centralized. A small number of entities are given a percentage of the entire supply WITHOUT working for them.
This is a theft from all the future miners and users.
The premined coins can (and will) be used to manipulate the market (see pump-and-dump scheme).

4.Webdollar is not secure

The browser is not a secure platform for developing cryptocurrency applications:
https://www.cvedetails.com/product/3264/Mozilla-Firefox.html?vendor_id=452
https://www.cvedetails.com/product/15031/Google-Chrome.html?vendor_id=1224

Javascript is not a good language for implementing cryptography algorithms
https://blog.bren2010.io/2014/06/17/javascript-crypto.html
‘In-browser crypto is not as secure as the state-of-the-art, therefore it’s insecure.’

This is a collection of lies, slanderous extracts from private correspondence by a known hater (notice the username and activity – he exists only to post this message everywhere) and some general concerns about a technology that is not by far limited to WebDollar. It should be deleted and the used banned.

My issue regarding WebDollar is huge supply 42,000,000,000 (42 Billion)

Question:
Is there a premine ? (I hope not)

More explanation maybe... Is this it ?



The huge supply is a fine granularity that was chosen because the protocol targets mass adoption. But, it is hard capped, so it is not inflationary. It's like it already references a unit closer to satoshi than bitcoin.

The good part: each 20 second block rewards miners with 3000 WebDollars.

So will test-net coins be vaporized on official launch?

Or will main-launch be a hardfork of the test-net?

All Test Nets will be reset, but we will launch the Genesis very shortly!

"Very Shortly"

Like, today?, This week ?

There will be a countdown. Subscribe to the newsletter at webdollar.io.
