1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Storj - Decentralized Storage on: February 23, 2017, 05:50:24 PM

It's a question that everyone who will join this network need know the answer, thank for that.

What about the payment address, i think there is not a problem for example i used the deposit address on Poloniex, normal right ?

It's recommended not to use Poloniex for your wallet.  Don't ask me why.  Join the Rocket Chat at community.storj.io and ask in the channel #sjcx about it.

I'm pretty this is recommended because polo is an exchange and any coins you store on an exchange are technically "not yours". You don't hold the keys for that wallet and they are more susceptible to being lost. There might also be a more technical reason as well but I am not entirely sure about that.

Any recap of the development please?

I am also interested in this information.

Did you guys check out the video they posted along with the bnktothefutre info? Might be what you're looking for.

Well if we aren't allowed to join the slack, why don't we make our own with blackjack and hookers!!
I have an intense personal hatred for exclusivity, VIP areas and elitism. Vertcoin didn't used to be about all that...ho-hum..I suppose a coin is only as good as it's Captain. The current "dev" admitting that he "does not have the skills to lead" and is hoping that Poramin will help him (after Dec 28th) is extremely disappointing IMO. Promising EVM and then days later saying that it wasn't going to happen, WTF?? Who is this guy etang anyway? He doesn't seem to be helping Vert in any way at ALL.

Nothing was promised , the details are still be worked out. The slack is for team members and devs since we are all from different parts of the world and that's how we talk to each other . What do I do ? Well I contribute when I can and donate to speed things up . You seem just to complain . If all you can do is complain please keep your FUD and opinions to yourself .

I don't know about everyone else, but I would donate if you had a god damn plan. I'm sure as hell not going to throw my money at you to keep sitting there twiddling your thumbs however. You say you donate and help to speed things up, but what things are you speeding up? We the community haven't heard of any Vert development in months, so I just don't understand what you are talking about.  Huh Huh

Again, development takes time . We have jobs , schools , familes etc. We aren't here to beck your call .I'm going to stop posting here , I thought I would keep you guys up to speed , but you people expect everything to happen magically.

You are dodging my question time and time again. WHAT IS THE DEVELOPMENT? If there isn't any than just say so....but atleast stop acting and talking like there is.

If you do not believe in your project, and how other people are to believe ...

I'm a miner ... here I'll give you 10% of my coin ... does that worth something?


Yes. Anything helps

Helps to do what?

many miners go to zcash, from the standpoint of mining vrt looks good, but price ... and a view of the future looks badly oh badly  Roll Eyes
Zcash does look interesting. I'm waiting for it to settle before I do anything with it. The price started around 1.5 btc and now it's around .2 btc . The creator of vertcoin made that .

Poramin didn't make Zcash (or Zcoin). His former professor at Johns Hopkins, Matthew Green, is an author on both of the papers describing these protocols ( http://zerocoin.org/media/pdf/ZerocoinOakland.pdf and http://zerocash-project.org/media/pdf/zerocash-extended-20140518.pdf ), Poramin Insom is not. The creator of vertcoin (Poramin) implemented zerocoin, first in a closed source scam called Zerovert, and now later in a hugely instamined coin called Zcoin. He is unaffiliated with Zcash (which is also scammy) afaik.

The closed source 'scam' is explained here:

Quote
When Zerovert was launched in November 2014, it was primarily an experiment and we didn't have any investor backing. We still wanted to protect our work and thus our only choice at that time was to make Zerovert closed source so that it could not be copied. However we quickly realized that in the cryptocurrency world, closed source software made it almost impossible for our project to be vetted and hence taken seriously so we were in a quandary.

Zerovert was originally intended to be part of Vertcoin's ecosystem however Vertcoin's community were not keen on it. Zerovert's also suffered from very poor performance and had huge scalability issues and therefore the project went silent while we figured out how to solve many of the challenges we faced with Zerovert.

We subsequently managed to fix many scalability issues and these changes have been incorporated into Zcoin. Starting afresh with Zcoin allowed strong investor backing from the likes of Roger Ver and allowed us to dedicate ourselves fully to this project rather than a mere experiment. With investor backing we also could finally make our code open source while still protecting our efforts. These considerations were what prompted us to wipe the slate clean with Zcoin instead of continuing with Zerovert which was never intended to be a serious project.

Instamine and founder's reward are pretty different. Instamines are created upfront while founder's rewards are spread across through the time and are transparent. This ensures that the founders cannot cash out immediately and are incentivized to keep development ongoing at least for the duration of the founder's rewards (4 years in Zcoin).

I spoke with Poramin has not ruled out returning to help out with Vertcoin development once he implements some important fixes with Zcoin. He had thought he had left it in good hands with two devs but when those devs moved on with life (working on startup and studying at MIT) Vertcoin's development was stalled. It wasn't the intention to 'abandon' Vertcoin and he spoke to me about how he wanted to implement EVM for Vert when has has time.
We spoke to him on slack a while back he said he would like to come back and help but he was studying for his CISSP and would help us after Dec 28th. Also, I don't think we are going to EVM anymore . With the size of our team we would be able to keep up with all the forks . Maybe after all the bugs are worked out it would be better .

This is getting a bit ridiculous. Even if this Poramin "I spoke with him and he said..." guy comes back Vert still has no plan, and honestly looks like Poramin has a shit reputation in crypto. We're all holding our breathe for a Chinese pump that, as time goes by, keeps looking less and less probable.

Like I said before I have the same interests in this as all of you. I don't get  paid for this, no one working on the team does. You guys can complain and speculate all you want, but until you contribute something it really doesn't matter how much you complain. Sure, we could fork and have a nice chunk of the block reward go to the devs so they could get paid for this, or have a "presale" and fund ourselves for a while, but we don't want to do that. And you all wonder why the other team member don't come here .You sound like the bunch that would complain that free ice cream is too cold.

IF you got funding what would you do with it? Do you have a plan that hasn't been released to the community? You say you work for free but honestly, nothing has happened here in months so what work are you actually doing? You've got no plans to make Vert relevant again seeing as how EVM has been likely abandoned. You have to inspire people to want to give you money, and personally I don't feel inspired here. I think the community's concerns are very different from what you would call "complaining that free ice cream is too cold".

Are the devs active in this forum?

Sometimes

is there a development in progress? any roadmap i can take a look at?

I just want to know where the project is standing at currently?

There is supposed to be an official announcement regarding EVM implementation with Vert which the time table is "soon", but that word has a certain connotation in crypto.

It's being discussed. There seems to more cons though . It anyone is a developer that wants to jump on the team, then things would go faster


I can't help, so I caint complain!
I will donate when I see something happening, something concrete.
In the meantime, I'll be here.
Best of luck to you etang6000, in your work !
I'll be waiting for your posts, and for some good news.
etang has said many times that nothing is going to just happen. Either we need a skilled developer to hop on the team that cares about VTC and will work for the betterment of Vert for free or we need a decent chunk of change to support such a developer, but neither of these things are happening and we are stuck at this crossroad twiddling our thumbs. Ideas are great but if there is no one here to put fourth those ideas into action then whats the point? The community is loyal but no one has stepped forward to support a dev in the way that we need one and it seems like none of us are in a position to do that. How can we move forward in a situation like this?

I had to reduce my risk on VTC. This chart paints an ugly picture.

What does everyone think of EVM?



Ethereum’s added functionality on the Vertcoin blockchain means that Vertcoin’s EVM could do everything that Ethereum is able to do except it occurs on the Vertcoin blockchain instead. (...) The only differences are Vertcoin specific such as longer block times compared to Ethereum, Vertcoin’s EVM port would allow users to create and deploy decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), DAPPS, and smart contracts on the Vertcoin blockchain. Porting the EVM would permit Vertcoin to facilitate Ethereum style smart contracts on the Vertcoin blockchain. This is because the smart contracts on Ethereum and Vertcoin would share a common coding language called Solidity. It is this ability to use the exact same coding language for the smart contracts that enables developers who are able to make use of Ethereum to make use of Vertcoin’s EVM too. Of course, from the perspective of a Vertcoin user, this port would be important for the long-term health of Vertcoin

Tbh i don't understand a shit what you are saying,but it sounds pretty good i think.
I think it's a good idea to implement it and im sure others agree too.
Not sure if its difficult or not to implement it, but if it could be done it would be really nice.

Unofficially speaking were are looking to implement this within 6 months . Official announcement soon .

So etang, is EVM implementation the only thing that is to be announced?
Yes, it's a big undertaking.
Nice.
I don't want it to sound like I expected more BTW lol. I had assumed that this will keep you busy for some time, just asking out of curiosity.

Hello, recently I started to mine Vert coin with my nvidas 1070, and i can't get more than 35-36 MH/s speed, I read that I should get around 40Mh/s...can anyone help or share some advice?
tnx

 Although I don't have an answer for your question, you might get a faster responce by posting it on the vertcoin subreddit,

www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin

As for price, it's just simply not time yet. Maybe a week or two more.

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for alerts based on VTC price? I want to be able to not have to check the market every damn day and also have a reliable alert system but I cant seem to find a good one.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Vertcoin - 1 | ASIC - 0 | Lyra2RE | Decentralised | GPU Mineable | Open Source on: October 03, 2016, 04:37:24 PM
Well TBH, we really need some news or at least some info from the devs what the progress is on the wallet update or stuff.
Whats up with all the weird comments from the devs.
If we don't get some news it might takes ages for VTC to skyrocket, or not even skyrocket.
Cmon just give us a comment that you're there, even if you just took a dump. tell us
Yeah i'm getting desperate, and i know alot of you guys too. Getting sick of all the waiting.
Anyways this is no FUD, im in for the longterm, although is has taken FUCKING LONG ENOUGH ALREADY.

MM got you right where he wants you.

You see the big green dildo of a volume bar? That's the most volume this coin has seen on poloniex and that was only a little more than a month ago.

Its crazy, but the latest buy spree have a volume bar a little more than double the one from the old chart. That was a bull signal to me and this is definitely a signal that someone is buying VTC. It's getting harder and harder to tell when it will go but I keep becoming more and more confident that it will.

There is almost no buy support. Could crash

Buy support is actually up a bit. A couple days ago it was around 25 BTC now its hanging at 30 BTC.

Buy side is getting weaker and weaker as predicted. I am not fuding just predicting whats gonna happen based on my expiriance with trading shitcoins.

Patience young one, thats what we've been preaching this whole time.

Pretty Interesting chart to consider as well, Vert in terms of $$
