Good idea, nice realization, awesome team. I wish luck you, and will reserve some coins too!

Does it make sense to mine on Linux with an RX480? I have 2 reservations, Driver/OC software compability and I might want to use a multi algo switching service like nicehash, which is probably more complex on Linux. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

I'm mining like 1.7 MHash/s on my Intel 530 internal GPU (6700k), do you think that's quite efficient if I just let that run when the PC is on anyway?

STRATUM OR GETWORK? --

If you are running on a stratum connection, you will get lunch money every week.  NanoPool suggests a minimum of 5MH/s for a single miner.  With GetWork, you'd be fading in and out, but will still pull in a few dollars a week.  If your computer is well ventilated, you should be OK.  I don't know how much heat is a problem mining that way.  My AMD cards stay under 70 deg C if the room temp is cool.  My nVidia cards actually run hotter, they are in closely spaced rigs.  nVidia cards still use less energy, though.       --scryptr

Getwork, haha I like gambling a bit. My pc is well ventilated, 25mm fan + 2 120mm and the i7 is liquid cooled (Corsair H110). Thanks though, I'll let it run then I guess!

This sounds dumb to me, the whole point of bitcoin/blockchain is that you don't need another layer/trusted party on top of the settlement layer. This wouldn't eliminate fraud, it would just shift the costs to someone else, just as the current system (VISA etc.) does.

Thought through, this would reduce settlement time from the current standard of t+1 - t+3 (depending on whether SEPA/US) to 1 hour (6 confirms). Not very revolutionary as t+0 is already in planning for traditional clearing and settlement systems.

while we're at it, i seem to can't access my old counterwallet... i ceated it before may 8th so i tried both with and without "old" in front of the passphrase. it shows me three empty addresses, i had 4, one with quite a few xcp and btc, i also had about 3 assets created. can someone help me with this?
You tried it at old.counterparty.co? Not sure if still active, but might work.

Alright, thanks, sent you a mail

is this a joke?

edit: ok i guess you meant old.counterwallet.co. thanks but no that doesn't work, says no servers connect.

Please send me you passphrase by email (ouziel@counterparty.co) I will send you private keys to sweep in the new wallet.

Alright thanks, sent you a mail

i have a question about xbet, the xbet thread doesn't seem too active which is why i'm asking here: are the odds for an individual bet set in stone when you make the bet or do they change when other people bet? in the latter case, that would mean it'd make sense for everyone to wait up until the last second before the betting closes (which is when btw for the worldcup?), in the former case that would mean nobody would make the first bet because it would always give him 0 xcp, right?

When two bets are matched, the odds are always determined by the bet in the pair that was first placed.

ok now i'm confused, what do the numbers on there actually mean? i assumed those are the odds, so if it would be for away back/lay 10/10, that would mean 50:50 odds?

Those are the odds that you've selected; they aren't the only odds you are willing to take, they are, rather, the worst odds you will take.

If someone made a bet that with a wager of 8 and and a counterwager of 10, his bet wouldn't match yours, since those are worse odds than you specified in your order. If, however, someone made a wager of 12 and a counterwager of 10, he would match your order. And if your bet was made first, the actual odds of the bet would be 1:1, whereas if the counterparty made his bet first, the odds would be 5:6 (for you, and 6:5) for him.

The logic for matching bets is exactly the same as the logic for matching orders.

ok thanks, but i'm only putting in one number right? if i put in 10 what exactly does that mean? and what does the 10 mean that's already there (say for example for lay away)

Putting in 10 means you are making a bet of *at most* 10 XCP, and with a counterwager of 10, you have specified odds of 1:1. If the odds of the bet are less than 1:1, then you will bet less than 10 XCP.

ahh ok thanks, that solves it for me i guess

edit: but i can't see what others are prepared to offer me? or is that the thing i said above, so if back is 10, lay is 10, that means i could put in 10 and 10 and i immediately get matched?

differently put: how can i see at which odds the market is prepared to make a bet at any given time?

A dev cannot promote. Software development and marketing are total opposite skills.



This is utter nonsense.   Marketing can be something as little as making frequent posts in the bitcointalk thread about ideas, updates, potential projects, bounties, giveaways, etc, you get the point.  This all starts from the developers.  If they aren't willing to at least do that, then the coin will just die and everything was for nothing.  Many developers do this and these coins have a decent size or growing community.  Unless...unless the devs have no stake in their own coin anymore.   Huh Shocked Undecided  This would be crazy because it's obvious to me they made something unique and fun.  There's so much potential here it would be a shame to see it go down the drain.

While I agree with you, number one priority for a dev should be development. Coins don't fail because a lack of marketing, but because a lack of innovation. No amount of marketing can compensate for that. (Except maybe in the case of doge, but there marketing was actually the innovative, new selling point)

Please add football betting first.It will greatly enhance CHA's popularity.
Ditto. Also add bitcoin hedge to bet its up or down.  Grin

yeah and please do that in 2-3 days max. also we'd like the end user to not have to worry about currency hedging, it should be all integrated, you just choose your home currency and the protocol does the rest.
haha first things first people, i think the devs are working hard, give them some time Wink

Why did CHA disappear from coinmarketcap.com?

I'm guessing it's because it's still frozen on Poloniex

All these depend on the data from authoritative website such as Yahoo whatever the data wrong or right.Set up the rule,no one will complain even sometimes the data is wrong.

You might think that, but you can't make it 100% sure that those result streams from those websites can't be manipulated.

If these functonalities get implemented, where it isn't 100% tamper proof, I will sell all my CHA.

not 100% but 99%. Or to put it differently, it would be so expensive and difficult to do that it would maybe make sense if the market cap of CHA is 10 billion US, but then the developer can still change the data source when that happens

Show me a datastream that no single person can manipulate that offers relatively correct odds for sporting events? What I'm saying is that sites that offer gambling rely on mediating. A single person there can fuck with the API stream and place bets. That wouldn't be expensive..

What I'm trying to say is, no Yahoo employee will risk losing his job to win maybe 5000 USD on a bet (assuming 1% maximum bet at 500k USD market cap). This will become relevant if the market cap climbs, though.

Alright, per definition can you not have a betting system without either p2p interaction or central authority. The question here is how far should CHA go, if the limit is p2p interaction then obviously you can't go far beyond dice games or roulette. The interesting part of the gambling world is in interaction with other players, though. So I'd say why not introduce interaction (at a later point probably, first things first)

There is already a coin/system that does that. And basically all people that invested in this coin don't want to trust somebody. The whole appeal of this coin is that noone can cheat here.

Lets look at it another way. Why is BTC so awesome? Nobody can manipulate the total number of coins. Same goes for CHA.

Now we introduce your sportsbet manager that sets the "fair" odds. What happens if he goes rouge or makes a big mistake? Like he creates 500000 new coins by accident (fat finger)?
This isn't all to unrealistic... Mistakes happen all the time.

I'd rather see a fork with those features, than see that implemented into CHA. CHA should focus on all the casino games that are out there. Slots, roulette, blackjack, dice, and many more...

A market is as fair as it gets, I'm not in favour of a sportsbet manager. I mean I think we're at a dead end here, I think you're excluding a lot of gambling by excluding interactions with other players (such as one of the most popular casino games, namely poker), but if you don't think so I can't change that and I see your point.

Don't get me wrong, we can add a p2p layer ontop of CHA where players can bet against EACH OTHER. Just not against the house, thats all Im saying!

Cool would be a system like this: People place their bets, if more than say 50 bets for one event are placed, the odds could be determined (let's say 20:30, so 2:3) so then the whole thing is resolved via chancecoins usual system (coins are created for the winners, destroyed for the losers)
That would bring P2P and CHA's original concept together. Only problem is abuse, one guy places all the 50 bets, and there are no "arbitrageurs" who bet against him. Don't know if that's killing the idea or if one could protect against this.
