I trust poloniex.com because although it was hacked it paid everyone back from the fees it earned from trades. Unlike cryptsy it immediately admitted it had been hacked. It's got high volume which smaller exchanges lack making it a good exchange for small spreads.

Hi, I downloaded btcd 12.0 and btcwallet 0.7 onto my windows 7 machine. Now, I have a working btcd window, but NO free standing decred wallet. Can somebody direct me to what I need to get a working wallet up and running on my machine. thanks, Rick There is only a testnet wallet available. You can find download details in this announcement link from this post by _ingso, but he says to run it in a VM. That announcement link leads to a forum post which gives the github download links to the wallet. I can't find any link to it in the OP, but that might be because it's only an early testnet wallet. https://forum.decred.org/threads/public-testnet-binaries-source-code-and-documentation.334/https://github.com/decred/dcrd/releases/tag/v0.0Any ETA for testnet launch and daemon sources? I can't read whole thread, no info on OP.
Testnet is live. You can read the announcement here. OP will be updated now. All testnet releases are in signed binary form right now - so run in a VM for the security conscious. All source code will be made free and open-source close to the launch of mainnet. As stated elsewhere, but repeated here for visibility (things do get buried), mainnet will be launched 1 week from testnet - so on Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016. This of course depends on testnet and if no serious bugs are found, the schedule will stick. More information will be posted as it comes in. I'll make sure to update people on all the platforms.

What percentage of blocks need to be mined by bitcoin classic miners before it takes the place of bitcoin core? Is there a site where I can watch how many of the last 1000 blocks were mined by bitcoin classic v bitcoin core? Am I right in thinking its the last 1000 blocks that decide which wallet wins?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3xnchr/rand_corporation_is_researching_how_to_destroy/The Department of Defense should be aware of the following:
[Virtual Currencies]'s represent the latest step toward decentralized cyber services. In particular, the historical trend suggests the development of a resilient public cyber key terrain, which this report defines as the ability of unsophisticated cyber actors to have persistent, assured access to cyber services regardless of whether a highly sophisticated state actor opposes their use. This has implications for national firewalls, access to extremist rhetoric, the feasibility of nation-state cyber attacks, and the ability to maintain uninterruptible and anonymous encrypted links. This report will examine the potential for terrorist, insurgent, or criminal groups to increase their political and/or economic power by deploying a VC to use as a currency for regular economic transactions rather than exploiting existing VCs as a means of illicit transfer, fundraising, or money laundering. First page of the summary: This report examines the potential for non-state actors, including terrorist and insurgent groups, to increase their political and/or economic power by deploying a VC as a medium for regular economic transactions as opposed to exploiting already-deployed virtual currencies, such as Bitcoin, as a means of illicit transfer, fundraising, or money laundering. Ya. That's what I said... They do go on to say it wouldn’t be that difficult for a state-actor to totally disrupt us. Ultimately, it seems clear that a non-state actor (indeed, even a state actor) would face significant challenges against a determined hightiered opponent given the underlying assumptions and implementation of VCs. As a general matter, a high-tiered opponent would be able to successfully attack any target of interest in cyberspace if enough resources were invested. In the case of a VC, which would require trust, anonymity, and availability of widely deployed cyber services (such as wallet and mining applications), it seems infeasible that a consistently successful cyber defense can be mounted. The only hope might be if the non-state actor were supported by a sophisticated nation-state opponent who was capable of defending against such threats. Even in this scenario, it is unclear whether such coordination would work, particularly in the case of a Tier V and VI opponent. If a state-actor wanted to totally disrupt us it would be simpler and cheaper for it to ban bitcoin in its state. America considered banning bitcoin and decided against it. If America wanted to totally disrupt us it wouldn't need to mount sophisticated cyber attacks, it could ban bitcoin instead. The USA isn't the only state-actor on the world stage. The USA was an example. Look at the disruption China caused with its half arsed semi-bitcoin ban. Little countries banning bitcoin don't disrupt it, but they don't have the resources to mount sophisticated cyber attacks. The bigger the country, the more disruption a ban would create. Not that I think any of the biggest countries that matter will ban bitcoin. I don't think they want to totally disrupt it, but they can if they ever want to.

You can speed up the bitcoin core sync time by downloading the whole blockchain in a bootstrap.dat file, then letting your bitcoin wallet work on that. It still takes a long time to sync but it's faster than waiting for the data from nodes. You can download the bootstrap.dat file from this link. http://www.satoshis.guru/blockchain-downloads/

Why cant it break the $400 finally?
do you have any doubt that it will? Problem is when everyone thinks that it'll go up they start going full retard on leveraged longs as evidenced on finex. When longs go full retard you gonna have a bad time How does that work? Does a whale wait until there are 90% leveraged longs and 10% leveraged shorts, then put a giant short on, then dump so hard it calls all the leveraged longs? Is that why there was a massive spike down by $20 on bitfinex last night?

The 2500000 seems excessive. There are 2190000 coins left over after all your "fat" bounties have been taken. Why is that required for for dev, and support when other devs don't require it? How do we know you will continue to support Bloodcoin rather than dumping the premine at the first chance you get?

community has to do something to pumpt this coin since chain is moving nicely and POS working well too. why not to focus on increasing trade rate as well.
It's been three weeks to the day since the dev's last post. It should be a priority to get a new dev if the old one doesn't return soon.

What is the max supply?
It looks like its uncapped PoS after the PoW has finished.

Not really getting the OP... By their perspective, every coin holds a time value as you can reward people's time with any coin... What's the difference from any other coin to this one then MarketSpeak <tm> I see someone is connected and syncing. Maybe we could make this work! It never made it onto an exchange so its dead. One person connected and syncing is not enough, it needed an exchange,

How much did Mexican Artists pay as a prize?

Thanks to everyone for retweeting Bittrex is OK but we need more exchanges. It's great everyone's tweeting.

I don't have the time (and it is unethical) to take it over as I am working on my own project. Let us wait when Barry is online again. I hope that he will tell us what is happening. If not.. I believe that he should return the funds from the ICO.
It's been two weeks since his last post. That's a long time for a dev to stay silent for. I hope he does not run away.

I'm totally on board, and appreciate the fast reply from hyperfuture to get the new wallet version loaded on my computer. Seeing more coins in my wallet every day just for staying online is a great feeling So excited about this coin. I've been buying it for over a month now. I'm new to all crypto as of November and I'm learning a bit at a time. I have my Hyper on Bittrex and I'm gonna try to do this wallet thing today with some of my coins.
Yes I recommend you staking your coins with a hyper wallet. 5% per month is a good amount really . I stake average 600 per month or so. Me and many others strongly believe in this coin and are really excited about it just like you Thanks for the advice and happy new year

Something odd is going on as I can mine against my wallet but three pools are not connecting.
Never seen this problem before....Anyone got any ideas ?
Could you be on a fork?

I'm no expert but the source is correct. The problem is with C++ and it also exists in the Bitcoin code. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0042.mediawikiBitcoin won't have this problem for a very long time ... Given the moderate time frame over which this change is to be implemented, we expect all miners to choose to screw themselves and deploy this change before 2214.
Anyone have a list of Alts and their halving intervals? I wonder what coin is next to have this problem. I think infinite coin is near a halving and close-ish to being fully mined.
