1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [REP] Augur speculation on: March 08, 2017, 06:14:57 AM
@redsn0w. I cannot think of any good news coming out from the Augur development team as of now unless they already have a fully working platform free of any flaws. But since it is built on Ethereum there will surely be a lot of flaws in their platform.


Extensive security audits, followed by a bounty market will happen before launch

Important Augur update about building an Augur Stack Exchange site:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Augur/comments/5qujk6/augur_a_stack_exchange_proposal/

The help of everyone reading this is requested. Having this site ready will make it easy for newcomers to find answers to technical questions when Augur launches.

Augur has now completed the proposal stage. After the commitment stage is complete, Augur Stack Exchange will be born. Help by visiting the link below:

http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/106367/augur

Stack Exchange is great. Visit http://ethereum.stackexchange.com/ to learn why. Very few projects have made it as far as Augur has already with its Stack Exchange effort

Much respect for Augur team. Looking forward to Augur Stack Exchange. This will be good for the Ethereum ecosystem.

If you feel this way, please sign up and support the proposal and help find others to do the same thing.

We need over 200 people to commit to supporting the Stack Exchange site before it can be created

Its dead but since this thread was posted, it hit a new all time high in market cap.  And its reddit hit a new all time high in activity.

And it's about to get it's own private beta on stack exchange, a distinction only shared with Bitcoin and ethereum amongst other cryptos. Maybe he means it's dead like Bitcoin has been pronounced dead so many times Tongue

Indeed being called dead should be considered a compliment!

GUI and RingCT coming soon.... not bad for a dead coin
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: True anonymous altcoin!? on: November 24, 2016, 05:34:25 AM
we know for now only zcash is it..any other? Huh
There is a lot of the coin was claiming if they are truly anonymous. Zcash,Zclassic,Ebitz,Shadow coin, Monero.
All of them was claiming their self to be an anonymous coin. I like to call if this just baits for me personally.

And I don't think your coin was including to them. Cheesy

I cannot read your answer because https://wiki.anoncoin.net/GroundRod_PID_main_ver1 has a security certificate error. I know the problem is not unique to me because I attempted to access it fro multiple devices, browsers and IP addresses.

Can you cut and past your response here until you are able to fix the ecurity certificate error?

Based on this issue and the toolchain problem described by Cryptopia perhaps these easy certificate/build errors should be fixed before more time is spent on PID.

It is hard to convince people to use privacy/security software when these basic issues are present

The build without toolchain was proposed here above, it is not and never was an issue at all. Just two ways of building with dependencies.

The SSL certificate is self-signed by Meeh as the wiki site is hosted on its norway server. The only thing I can do for that is to ask him to renew his signature, which I did right now; but I have no more power than this on this SSL certificate.

I can copy paste here but it will be huge post, which is why I used the wiki for that.

CS


AFAIK Meeh has not been active with ANC for a long time. I assume that his failure to even update the OP of the announcement thread regularly was part of the reason you created this new thread.

Based on his long absence why are you still posting content on a site hosted on a server he controls? It seems to me that copying the important content and transferring it to a new site under your control would be a better option. For a long time you have been far more reliable than Meeh in providing updates to the community and answering questions.

You have done a lot for ANC. I think some of the old community might return if things continue to move in the right direction.

We're lucky that house games and side games are permitted though, because in this way we can organically discover the optimal rules to play by.

Aeon is that side game.

Is Aeon still a side game for you? I think this project means serious business!

Did the blockchain fork after the hard fork?
My transfer of 9.9 ANC from AMXraoVxaBvkiwWHbYRkQW7nmo6vHNHBrQ to ASoVC4BfzXKvuCp96ckq41QsxnWLh3gxnx has a lot of confirmations, but it doesn't show up in the explorer http://abe.darkgamex.ch:2751/chain/Anoncoin

Hi,

Yes, the hardfork worked correctly.  Smiley

http://abe.darkgamex.ch:2751/chain/Anoncoin is still on the old chain but is being updated at the moment.

Your transaction was done on the correct chain.

Sadly, I am not very happy with the tuning of the retarget algo with 90% of our hashrate being multipools it retarget too strongly both upward and downward and consequently the remaining faithful miners (around 400 MH/s) have to mine very difficult blocks (even up to 100 times more difficult than some of the quick blocks mined by multipools). The chain is thus for the moment about 30% too slow with very broad block time.

So I will check how to tune the moving averages differently to not have so much variation with this particular 90%+ intermittent multipool hashrate as well as the proportional term of the PID to have a smoother ride with retargetting less aggressively in those worse mining conditions. In a couple of weeks a new hardfork (0.9.6.12, same codebase) will be proposed with the new settings for the PID after we testnet it and will be announced here as well as with the alert key.

How is the difficulty re-targeting looking now after you have had a few more weeks to evaluate it post fork?

Hi,

I did a post with the current data from mainet on the wiki: https://wiki.anoncoin.net/GroundRod_PID_main_ver1

I hope it answer your questions!

As stated above I am still tuning the PID to limit the dispersion in block time.

Thank you for your question! Smiley

cryptoadoption: what part of Stellar do you think is not decentralized?

You started as a Ripple fork. Lumen distribution remains horrible and is to a large degree centrally controlled.

Your regulatory compliance efforts will ensure Stellar will never be completely decentralized. For example:

"October 5, 2016: The first round of the lumen giveaway to bitcoin holders will conclude. If there are unclaimed lumens, they’ll go to Stellar.org’s operational fund.

Due to regulatory restrictions, this program is closed to residents of the U.S. states of New York, Georgia, New Hampshire, and Connecticut as well as the nations of Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and other countries subject to sanctions by the United States. These restrictions are subject to change to account for changes in regulatory posture."

https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/compliance-protocol.html

Perhaps what you offer will have some value to banks and corporations. Just please don't pretend that Stellar is decentralized.

Stellar sucks for the same reason as Ripple, it is not decentralized
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: July 18, 2016, 01:35:16 AM
There are a lot of different measures of value for a coin like XMR. There is the current value in btc on exchanges, there is the hopium value, supported by assorted conjectures and beliefs wrt the relationship between features (like a new GUI) and price, there is the ideological view of value, usually supported by assertions and beliefs wrt features a coin provides (like anonymity) and their perceived effect on future adoption and then there is the real value, which is somewhere just above the cost of producing a coin.

I mine, but not monero. I asked because I was curious how closely the exchange value in btc approaches the cost of mining at this time.

well, the most efficient way to mine is probably the 750 ti.

At current network difficulty, thats 0.09 xmr / day.

The card pulls ~33 watts.

At a rate of 12 cents / kWh, thats $0.09504 per day.

so if any of the math works, thats roughly 95 cents per xmr. So right now its very profitable to mine, if hardware is all paid for.

Thanks for sharing the numbers.

Any ETA on smart mining?
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Steemit how can this thing be workable long term? on: July 18, 2016, 01:33:12 AM
It remains to be seen if Steemit can attract new users from outside of crypto once the initial large payments for posting content decreases.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: July 18, 2016, 01:31:22 AM
the current price of Monero will seem extremely cheep if the project accomplishes its objectives to any significant degree. The relevance to AEON I will leave up to the reader.
Monero is trading at about $2 USD each. Aeon is trading at close to 1 cent each. It's worth considering that

IF Monero really moons expect a bullrun in Aeon too, BTC/LTC effect is well known in crypto and AEON has enough features apart (working pruning) to make it a contender.

I would rather see Aeon actually in use as a currency (accepted by businesses) that being speculated on because of its relation to XMR.

Have any Soda Vending Machines been sold yet? Or is there still just one machine still in a garage to be occasionally delivered to a HYIP seminar?

abandoned ?

No. Working fine, so no bug fixes required since the last one. If more fixes are required, they will be provided.

Future development plans are under consideration. As I stated (maybe it was the Speculation thread?), I will make an announcement in approximately two weeks.

Any updates?

New roadmap still under development to be released Soon(TM)


The community should not sit idle and wait for more developments. Websites can be built and exchanges and small merchants can be asked to accept Aeon
