1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] What is the hottest crypto right now in your opinion? on: October 06, 2015, 12:48:13 PM
BitShares 2.0 testnet clocked 1000 tps within 3sec block time average https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,18727.msg240918.html#msg240918.

Far from 100,000 tps with 1 sec block time of theoretical possible.

Still, good enough to be used by OpenLeger by CCEDK - https://bitscan.com/articles/openledger-the-most-powerful-crypto-financial-platform-in-the-world - the most powerful crypto-financial trading platform.

Nano card is already on offer.

With no major glitches,  looks like BitShares is set to explode - the referral system integrated into the blockchain should help.

Intervals between blocks (ignoring 18134) is now > 1 hour.
Last block was mined > 2 1/2 hours ago.
What's going on?
the difficulty is high

Combined with a decreasing hash rate:

Hash rate (last 1000 blocks)   343.893958 GH/s
Hash rate (last 100 blocks)   183.919383 GH/s
Hash rate (last 25 blocks)   129.552348 GH/s

Will the difficulty be automatically reduced to take this into account? After all, we still want 10 min blocks. I had to wait ~3 hours for my funds to arrive into my wallet.

I recall the number of blocks mined before the difficulty adjustment is 500. So, have to wait less than 500 hours. Check out http://explore.siacoin.com/ to see miners come and go.

Current sia hashing rate (according to http://explore.siacoin.com/) is 1.407528 TH/s.

The highest I've seen.

Edit: Now it dropped to more familiar 642.957488 GH/s. Strange.

I cleaned the database after the corruption.
Synced again, now stuck at block 16294.
Is it the last block?

My local blockchain is 16448 blocks.
From my experience, syncing the blockchain slows down as it gets higher.

So for those of us who killed siad using task manager, does this mean we have also lost our coins and any uploads stored in new wallet? Hard to imagine that.

Failing to save local blockchain database properly should only mean your local machine/wallet has inconsistent state (for example, no transactions seen, or no  coins received).

The blockchain should be resynced (the old/corrupted blockchain databased should be removed) and the new/consistent blockchain state should reflect the changes made to your wallet/coins.

It is better to unlock your wallet only after the blockchain was synced.

Also, mind, one confirmation (one block mined) can take very long time. This would continue until the difficulty is recalculated for the current hashing power. And this should happen after some number of blocks (500 minus whatever # found so far) were mined.

Seems like some time ago, a lot of hashing power joined the network, mined a lot of coins, dumped some. The mining difficulty was raised, that hashing power left the network. The current hashing power is not enough to keep finding block every 10min. This should change when the difficulty is recalculated. That is just one unfortunate/ugly side effect of POW (proof of work) algorithm of securing the blockchain. Mining pools should scale  this problem down.

How can i close siad with siac (windows), without crashing or corrupting the database?

The following is relevant to linux. 'cmd' tool in windows may enable similar results.
'siac' is a file name in linux, 'stop' is the command for 'siac'. This (and similar commands) need to be run
from the directory this file resides in.
Code:
./siac stop

Stopping the 'siad' this way should save the blockchain database in a few minutes. Unfortunately there is no 'progress indication' of either saving the database was completed or not. The following command can be used to see if 'siad' processes terminated. No output should mean the 'siad' process stopped and the database was saved.
Code:
ps aux | grep siad

Disclaimer: The 'ps aux | grep siad' was not tested.

This post is about BitShares:

  • Have a main implementation which is free as in freedom.
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/

  • Introduced new technologies, or combined existing technologies in a new useful, in other words, it's not just a clone.
New DPOS (Delegated Proof of Stake) system of securing the blockchain - http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/DPOS
decentralized exchange - http://bitshares.org/
with market tools http://www.amazon.com/BitShares-101-Generation-Currencies-Decentralized-ebook/dp/B00QUIWHR0 - 99cents

  • Are actively developed or in maintenance mode (instead of abandoned).
Again https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/milestones
Also, a delegate (of DPOS) voted by the stake holders into the top 101, can withhold 100% of his/her rewards and
finance their efforts in developing and maintaining the project. As the BitShares market cap grows, the BitShares
blockchain could compete for top talents in the industry.

  • Have a chance of being used in the future for payment of good and services, rather than just speculation.
Market pegged assets, BitUSD, BitCNY, BitEUR etc are the easiest ways for payments adoption: no need to change pricing
habits or adjust for value fluctuation.

BitShares introduced

DAC (Decentralized/distributed autonomous company) and the platform for running DACs are
quite strongly associated with BitShares. https://letstalkbitcoin.com/bitcoin-and-the-three-laws-of-robotics/
Although may blockchain projects qualify as DAC, the economy of running it has influenced the BitShares system.
It is yet to gain some presence and understanding (including my own) but some DAC projects are already there
in the BitShares blockchain (like PLAY of http://playshare.io/).

DPOS (Delegated proof of stake). http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/DPOS
There are currently top 101 delegates  (voted in by stakeholders) who produce blocks.
They may choose to burn (part of) the reward for producing a block thus stopping dilution and preserving the value.
Or they may keep the reward and add value to BitShares in some other way (developing, marketing etc).
The block production under 10sec is quite handy for an inbuilt decentralized exchange.

TITAN (Transfer Invisible To Any Name) http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/TITAN
It generated a new key pair (deterministically from the owner key) for each new transaction.
Useful for some cases but complicates things in others (like having same wallet/account on two machines).

The stolen BTC payback plan:

1) Bter shall undertake all the loss and compensate users’ BTC loss in batches gradually.
2) The BTC holders on Bter who suffer the BTC loss shall be entitled to Bter’s half year’s trading fee in proportion to their BTC loss, besides the above the mentioned compensation.
3) The lost BTC balance in the users’ account has been transferred to the BTC_B, which will be the reference for our subsequent payback.
4) All the Bter’s future profit shall be used to pay the BTC loss for users first, until all the lost BTC is paid up.
 5) Bter will open more businesses later and the profit from those businesses will also be used to pay the BTC loss for users first.
5) Bter has received 1000 BTC from its partner JUA.COM to speed the payback process.
6) In the further, Bter will seek more finance from other channels to pay up the users sooner.
7) Users on bter will enjoy one-month’s free trading for all the trading pairs as our thanks for your trust and support
Cool New BTC deposit sending to bter shall not be affected.

I'm bias,

but BitShares DPOS (delegated proof of stake) economy of securing a blockchain was what determined its current design.

http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/DPOS_or_Delegated_Proof_of_Stake

edit:
Here's the discussion on the economy of DPOS (but the images has gone somewhere).

17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BitShares coinmarketcap volume is artificial on: March 10, 2015, 09:13:18 AM

BitShares volume is being calculated by adding all the Bitshares assets trading volume, like bitUSD, bitGold, bit silver, bitBTC and bitCNY. Just an observation. So today the BTC and fiat volume was $40K less than what coinmarketcap is broadcasting.

I'm not sure if that is the case, but:

If each market pegged BitAsset (BitUSD, BitCNY, BitEUR, BitGOLD, BitSILVER, BitBTC)
locks 300% of bitshares value as collateral (at the moment of creation),

isn't if fair to consider locked bitshares when talking about BitAssets?

Here's a candidate who has offered to advance the community 1 year's salary up front if he is elected as a delegate.  Essentially lending the network 1.5 million BTS to be repaid out of a delegate revenue stream.   The loaned funds allow other mini-projects to be funded up-front without having to wait for funding for them to be accumulated.  This is a great opportunity for little guys to get funded and prove themselves before they might otherwise be able to win election as a delegate themselves.

I find this application of DPOS amazing.


20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best Altcoin to invest in for 2015 and WHY on: March 08, 2015, 05:06:19 PM

Could be BitShares - BTS.

Why?

Among other reasons:

Market pegged assets: BitUSD, BitCNY, BitEURO, BitGOLD, BitSILVER, BitBTC. Avoid volatility, pay, accept familiar value assets.
Bullish with BTS? You can 'create' BitUSD and short it.

Under 10 sec confirmation time: Good start for a decentralized exchange with trading on the blockchain.

Developing efforts are closing on 1.0 client release (currently 0.6.2) which would see a
smooth user experience client and the supporting ecosystem (gateways, bridges etc).
