Hi,

Are there any wallets for USD Tether that store the private keys locally? I do not want to depend on tether.to

Thanks!

Hi,

I upgraded from 2.6 to 2.7 and it split my old wallet into two files:

* default_wallet.deterministic
* default_wallet.imported

The thing is, I don't want to create a new wallet where I would send all of my balances in my previous wallets because I have hundreds of used (with a balance) addresses.

Can I continue to use these 2 wallets indefinitely with future versions of Electrum? Will it be supported? Is it secure?

Thanks!

Let's keep rolling until we get it or until we prove that table is inaccurate.

Hey, I've installed it but it says I'm not connected. It appears the server is down. What's the matter? Are you still maintaining the server? Thanks!

Can you guys make sure Horizon is put back on Coinmarketcap.com ? I think they've lost track of it since the name change.

Any serious answer from an official team developer is on offer though?

OK, so I understand updates are forthcoming but that you don't give specific deadlines, but can you elaborate what's the "new direction"? I'm asking because I saw this specifically mentioned and yet I couldn't find an authoritative source describing the new direction.

I'm new here. People keep talking about "the new direction". Can someone elaborate what's the new direction and when can we expect to see updates?

Great script! Keep up the good work!

I wish that space drop was over sooner so we could get to some real price discovery. Is it only me or do those numbers look all over the wall? Yesterday I thought it was almost over...

Ha ha! True!

On the other hand, I would like to tell you that my second biggest crypto-currency regret (besides not buying enough Bitcoin when it was cents on the dollar) was not buying Dogecoin. When I heard of Dogecoin the first time I almost puked. I was like, what? They put a dog on a coin, no technological innovations at all and they exepct to dump this on us? 9 months later Dogecoin has a $30 mil market cap, is largely viewed as second only to Bitcoin in importance and STILL has brought no technological innovations to speak of. It is hard for Sterlingcoin to succeed in this crowded space indeed, but Dogecoin showed that it can be done (and I would note that Dogecoin too had largely the same approach: increase adoption). Another thing that is scarce among crypto-currency teams (and if you have it is a huge advantage to your coin) is determination (the will to persist for months or years even when things might look bleak) and competence (having people in the team that actually know how to code and know how to take good strategic decisions).

At 5.5% it will take at least 14 years to reach 63 mil from 6 mil

If I'm not mistaken it will have to get from 6 million to 63.9 million just on POS alone.

I don't know but I'd argue that even if your only purpose was speculation, your horizon would still need to be a little longer.

Yes, I noticed that too.

You should consider creating a system that would allow Sterling users to buy with SLG at any store accepting Bitcoin. I may be wrong, but this may help with adoption. Just throwing this out there. Should probably have to do something like automatic exchange for BTC behind the scenes on some exchange.

PoS rocks! I'd shorten that even more.

Question (not clear to me after skimming through the white paper): how many coins will be produced during the POW phase?

Supposedly you have to play more to increase your chances to get one of the bigger prizes. But my own research currently points (with a relatively high degree of confidence) to the fact that the site might not be fair for the free rolls. The owner could implement the first change (from the 2 suggested by me above) to prove me wrong. The second change, with the JS auto-verifier can be implemented by anyone who knows JS coding and has some free time (the owner could do it too, of course).

Me again. Pardon my paranoia but I think that if it is important for this category of sites to be provably fair, then it's reasonable for us users to doubt the fairness of these websites.

While going through the log I started to keep (less than 2 months ago) of free rolls I noticed that the server seed hash was different from the one originally in the pop-up before the roll for one of my free rolls. Has the server changed its original seed because this one led to a good number? Maybe I made a mistake when noting down the value, but I doubt it because I tend to be careful, and also, the values before and after match, and this particular value does not resemble any other value in my list. I'll continue to log these values and check them, will keep you posted if I notice this again for any of my previously logged values or values in the future.

Folks, if the site says it's provably fair it doesn't have to mean the site really has to be fair. I wonder, how many people check their rolls? How many people use their own client seeds? What is the probability that when someone rarely goes to check a roll, that it's really that one good free roll the server might want to fake? And how many users check that the server seed hash in the "previous roll" section is the same one originally shown (because if they don't the server can freely change its seed if it doesn't like the outcome, but the section will still check out with the roll verifier)?

I don't believe there should be any problems with the multiply rolls - there, the house's part is clearly cut and it doesn't have to cheat because it always wins on average, but it would be rational (if dishonest) - from a profit maximizing perspective - for this to be the case for the free rolls.

Improvements to the site to prevent this from being possible:

* Maybe log the values (if the user requests this) to some place which is not under the control of the server (like for example sending the values controlled by the server which are to be used for the next roll to the user, by email), like so: after each roll, send the user an email with this data:
  1.) client seed, server seed, nonce, server seed hash AND the corresponding rolled number generated
  2.) server seed hash, nonce, server seed that are to be used for the next roll, and which the user will be able to find in his next email (together with the server seed and the resulted rolled number)

* Make a code (maybe a JS the user can paste in the browser inspector so that it will be under the user's control) that will automatically check all rolls for a user. It should also be made to check the pre-roll vs post-roll values because if the server decides to change its server seed, then the "previous roll" section will check out, just that it will not be fair because the original server seed might have led to a good number...

These should be IMO more important than having a nice design.
