2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Etcetera: 4days Open Smart Contract testing on Rinkeby Ethereum testnet on: January 23, 2018, 02:10:05 PM
Hi there!

This open testing will last until Jan-26-2018 08:50:57 PM UTC+0

Please have a look at our official ANN thread if you don't know what Etcetera is yet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2691131.0

Now we need the help from our (future) community for testing our smart contract on the Rinkeby testnet.

Our local tests with the Truffle framework and the first tests on the Rinkeby testnet were successful. Now we are inviting the community to test our smart contract with us.

You can check the progress of our 'testsale' here: https://etcetera.ltd/api/

The current variables set are:
start date: Jan-21-2018 08:50:57 PM
end date: Jan-26-2018 08:50:57 PM
price: 1 ETH = 1000 ERA
there is no current bonus

What's in it for you?

If you fill in the form for our marketing bounty campaign (campaign 2 and/or 3) you can get 50 stakes for tweeting

"Requesting faucet funds into 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 on the #Rinkeby #Ethereum test network. Etcetera Open Smart Contract testing until Jan-26-2018 08:50:57 PM @EtceteraCards #cryptocurrency #gift-cards"

where you replace your rinkeby test adress with the 0x00..0.

Please follow this small guide to help you help us Smiley please do state if it worked and especially if it didn't!


1. Make a new account on the rinkeby testnet: go to https://www.myetherwallet.com/
(if you're familiar with Mist or anything else, please use as you wish, for the purpose of this demonstration I will use MEW)



2. Set rinkeby as the testnet:



3. create new account and set new password:



4. save your keystore file (mew requires it) and for ease of acces, copy your private key into a text file (or something)





5. Log into your newly made Rinkeby Ethereum testnet account by clicking on 'Send Ether & tokens' and filling in your private key (or keystore file and password if you should choose so)



6. You get to see your current balance and your adress, copy your adress:
Here you can also add our testnet ERA token by adding this contract adress:  
https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/token/0x8c4c0776c9c52f0e976a75388c38454288cb1ffa







7. Ask some Rinkeby test Ether through PM or from:
https://faucet.rinkeby.io/
You get some test ether if you tweet
'Requesting faucet funds into 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 on the #Rinkeby #Ethereum test network.
Etcetera Open Smart Contract testing until Jan-26-2018 08:50:57 PM @EtceteraCards #cryptocurrency #gift-cards'
and replacing the 0x000...0 with your own adress
(the part starting with Etcetera is not need but gladly appreciated and rewarded if you're part of the bounty campaign!)

When you have tweeted your message, copy-paste the url here:
(you get asked how much you want, if you only plan to use it for this, please just use the lowest amount (the time is when you can claim again))

 And you should retrieve your test Ethereum almost instantly.

8. send some test eth to our smart contract and verify you get the tokens: (use at least 100k gas limit please!)
 send it to address: 0x8e2184ACafa7b8549373884685a74A236D83F1d2



confirm:



And now you wait! Look here for your adress:
https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/token/0x8c4c0776c9c52f0e976a75388c38454288cb1ffa

Or with our own back-end: https://etcetera.ltd/api/

Please let us know if something doesn't go as it should. We will update after this little ICO test sale ends with the results! Thanks for having made it this far and we hope to see you at the real ICO aswell!

Kind regards!

Etcetera

SPECIAL FEATURE:


We implemented a BitShares UIA called ‘ERASTAKE’ where each token represents an earned stake.
Users can choose themselves whether they’d like their earned stakes prepaid in ERASTAKE or just wait until the official Etcetera ERC-20 token is distributed.
Every issued ERASTAKE will have a corresponding campaign action AND withdrawal proof shown here.

FUN FACT:

We've (temporarily) chosen for a maximum cap of 37637384 ERASTAKE to be distributed,
it is not guaranteed we will issue this many but it is neither guaranteed that this will remain the maximum cap troughout the whole campaign.
If you can guess why we've chosen '37637384' as the initial maximum, we'll grant you an arbitrarily chosen amount of 1000 stakes
(Please reply to THIS thread with: 'I think the 37637384 represents ... YOUR ANSWER').

IF and WHEN the maximum cap changes, we will be as transparant as possible about it.
These ERASTAKE tokens will only represent a percentage of your earned share of our official future ERA tokens.
After the ICO ends, the allocated 750'000 ERA tokens will be distributed procentually over every earned stake.


BOUNTIES:


100 stakes for sharing us your BitShares account name.
An extra 100 stakes on top of that if you're registering a new BitShares account through this link
(only 1 BitShares account allowed per BitcoinTalk Account made before this threads release date)


RULES:


- You need at least 1000 stakes to apply for this campaign

6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Cryptocurrency gift cards, would you buy them? on: January 15, 2018, 04:48:17 AM
Hello!

I mean the idea of buying cryptocurrency through gift cards in your local store as opposed to buying cryptocurrencies using for example ATM's that also ask a 'ridiculously high' fee. This would make the first step of buying cryptocurrency a lot easier for non-tech-savvy people, instead of going through the still kind of steep learning curve of buying/using/sending cryptocurrencies.


These would be easy to hand out to friends and family (right?), because I'm sure I'm not the only one who has gifted some close friends or family with some 'weird value holding paper' (sounds familiar to something we all still use today?). Perhaps this can even encourage your more 'cryptopposed' friends to at least try to grasp the idea behind and the possibilities of our (future) blockchain community by effectively doing a transaction on their own (may it be just to sell it back for cash :p)

If you want to know more about our project that's planning to deliver cryptocurrency gift cards in local stores worldwide, please have a look at our website or our official ANN


Anyway, I just wanted to start a discussion as to what you would do if you could buy cryptocurrency at your local store, the same way you can buy Google Play or iTunes store cards, to perhaps make cryptocurrency something more 'touchable', something one can hold.





7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Anyone know of an automatic crypto converter? on: January 15, 2018, 02:55:48 AM
I'm looking for a service such as coinpayments that let's you receive all kinds of tokens, but then also automatically 'converts' as in trades, it to a coin of my choosing (ETH for what it matters) and perhaps even send it to an address of my choosing.

Anyone know of such a service?
8  Economy / Scam Accusations / User coinjack 1337 scammed me of 0.264 ETH on: January 09, 2018, 04:57:04 AM
What happened::
I made this thread for trading BOScoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2696575 upon user coinjack1337 PM'd me next message:
"Hello & greetings from germany,

i would like to sell 1500 Boscoin for BTC. Is your offer still valid? I'm ok with your price.

Please let me know if you're interested.

kind regards,
Daniel"

My initial offer on the thread was 0.2$ for 2k boscoin, so for 1500 this would be 300$.
We agreed upon ETH which totaled to 0.264 ETH at the time (sunday evening around 9pm gmt+1 ) , I even invited him to telegram where his handler is  @N0ssi99.
After I send him the eth (tx) he replied :
'okay, i will send back now. thanks for the smooth transaction!' upon which I replied back (hoping it would be smooth...). I haven't heard back anything yet for over 24hours now since he received my ETH and I really think that only in case of some emergency, I think I have been scammed.

9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / [SERVICE] Making your token on the BTS or ETH blockchain! on: January 06, 2018, 12:35:17 AM
Hello!

If you're looking to have a standard token of your own on the Ethereum (I give you the smart contract or send you the token) or BitShares (I give you reduction on creating because of my LTM account) blockchain, I'm offering to make them for

    $400
    $200 and 0.01% of the tokens
    $100 and 0.2% of the tokens

Paid in any cryptocurrency of the top 25 list of CoinMarketCap (or PM me) but preferrably BTS or ETH.

The price of tokens on the BitShares blockchain depend on the length of their symbol:
==> 97'117 BTS for 3 characters, 24'279 BTS for 4 characters, 607 BTS for 5 characters or more as of 24 november 2017, prices may change in the future
==> For BitShares tokens: all 5+ character tokens can be made with above pricing, if you really want your token to have 4 or even 3 characters, you have to pay this fee aswell (it's asked by the blockchain so I can't change anything about this)

All BitShares tokens will be made with the account 'the-coin-hodler' and all payments in BTS will go through this account.
All standard Ethereum Tokens will be made with the official 'Smart Token Contract' from https://ethereum.org/token.

If you want to have a token based on another blockchain, let me know and I'll look into it!
If you're looking to integrate the coin into your project, let me know to see where I can help!
If you have any questions whatsoever, let me know!

If you require an ERC-20 token with more functionalities than holding and sending, please post here or PM me what you require and we can discuss it further!

If you're interested in learning more about BitShares, there's a nice list of tutorials on Steemit (another product somewhat related to BitShares):
https://steemit.com/steem/@ash/steemit-how-to-s
If you want to make your own ERC-20 token you can use the official guide:
https://ethereum.org/token
or a more 'user-written' guide:
https://steemit.com/ethereum/@maxnachamkin/how-to-create-your-own-ethereum-token-in-an-hour-erc20-verified

Hope this may either help you or make you contact me for an inquiry!

Happy investing to all!
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Unofficial BOScoin buying and selling thread on: January 05, 2018, 11:20:48 PM
Since they can't seem to get it listed yet, the only site for price reference is hitBTC and I see some BOScoin trading spread all over the place, I decided to make an unofficial thread for it. (I do apologise if there already is another one, but I couldn't find one).

If you don't know BOScoin please check: https://boscoin.io/ their ICO end half last year.

Off course any BOScoin discussion is welcome, what do you think of BOScoin? Next big thing? Or not quiet yet?

At the moment I still have 2000 BOScoins left, I actually have no idea at what prices the OTC trades are going for, so to start setting the boundaries between which I think it will be traded initially:
(these may be edited or updated in the future, if you'd like I can put your offers here at the top of the thread aswell Smiley )

I'm buyin a maximum of 2000 BOScoins @ 0.1$ ea
I'm selling a maximum of 1000 BOScoins @ 0.5$ ea

Please reply in this thread with your own BOScoin offers, or PM me if you feel the need to.

(PS: I can also make a BOScoin User Issued Asset (UIA) on the BitShares blockchain should enough people be interested in this, though with the current BTS prices I'd rather await community input)

Cheers and happy trading!

11  Bitcoin / Project Development / Best way to get up-to-date price (lists) on: January 05, 2018, 12:11:12 AM
I'm talking about a service such as coinmarketcap but then with real-time data. Of course I could have a script pull the data and push it in my own database but that would require a 24/7 running vps or something like that and well, not willing to actually pay for it hehe.

So any of you know of an easy to access database-like service or application to fetch all prices in real-time?

Thanks in advance
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Most steady currencies to invest(igate) in (2018 - ... ) on: January 04, 2018, 11:47:22 PM
This is written as a draft and can/will be updated from time to time. Nothing from this content should be taken as serious trading advice or any advice for that matter. Investing in cryptocurrency will remain volatile for a couple of years to come, with no apparent certainty of staying. But always look on the...

Hello fellow crypthusiasts,

I wanted to share my view and thoughts regarding what currencies would be most steady to invest in (in 2018 and later) and of course ask that of yours.
To clarify steady: having a project or blockchain running (successfully or not) for more than 3 years and gaining traction ever since. A lot new and interesting projects arise every single day, but that's not the exact purpose of this topic.

As we keep getting more and more projects connected or connecting to blockchain technology and/or cryptocurrencies, it can sometimes be a good idea to take a step back and try to grasp what is effectively happening at this moment. While there are not much coins in the top 100 (according to coinmarketcap) in the last few months that haven't known an All Time High (ATH) (over and over again), one might will this ever stop?

Bitcoin was trading sub 1000$ around new year 2017 and we've seen 20'000$+ at various exchanges worldwide by now.
Ethereum was trading just above 10$ around new year 2017 and we are now at almost 900$(!) per coin.

I could go on but even these 'current' prices will probably be outdated the moment you read this.

But let's talk about effective usage. Most of you know probably (hopefully) have heard about coinmarketcap and yes, the marketcap is one way of measuring the value of a (blockchain) network, but in my opinion the REAL value of a blockchain is measured in speed, security and well, the persons using it of course! And users don't like to be limited (and even less to spend one dime too much transferring their value around the network) and that's what is happening to Bitcoin at this very time. For those of you who remember (or just know), it is theoretically possible to send (bitcoin) transactions without a fee whatsoever! You just need a miner to mine it... Bitcoin transactions are just too expensive at this time (let's say 'time of writing' (TOW) for a more 'correct' term). You can check the recommended fee here: https://estimatefee.com/ . While I'm pretty confident in the end Bitcoin will get its pants together, I'm also pretty confident that isn't any time close.
Other currencies are taking the lead in exactly the points mentioned above, and here you can see a completely different list for the valuation of a coin: https://www.blocktivity.info/

While investigating or investing in projects, one should always keep in mind WHY blockchain technology is (and will be a lot more) revolutionairy and HOW it does this:
Where crises can happen anytime anywhere for what reason whatsoever, one recurring factor is financial instability or the lack of due diligence by the governments in how and in what amount they print their money. Venezuela, Greece, Zimbabwe, ... are just a few of the examples that point this out perfectly. If they were using a blockchain-based financial infrastructure, one could only see the advantages. (well, there are some disadvantages aswell of course, such as teaching blockchain to people, this will be another intense work point. But thanks to the recent global acquaintance, one could only think of this as the beginning!)
Democracy, should it ever work, can only work if the funds received and spend by them are as transparant as the rulers should be. A 'new' concept, 'decentralisation' was born at the hands of 'Satoshi' and in my opinion this should remain the one true goal all new projects should strive for as hard as possible. And if you read that the way it should, you should even see the benefit of regulation, making classic investors known the next hype of the same proportions as the Internet, without anyone even knowing what blockchain technology is fully capable of (now AND in the future).


So let's take a look at some of the current (top) currencies. The idea is to give you an idea about the project in a few sentences. While this will definitely limit the amount in which we appraise some of these coins or projects, it hopefully gives you enough of an idea to decide whether you find it interesting enough to investigate it further.

  • Bitcoin: where else to be put Bitcoin than on top of the list... While it may not be the most steady investment, just consider that this is THE original blockchain project, and even though they currently lack the ability to scale properly, be sure this will be fixed (in due time). Where most of the current projects that are sold out (some instantly) for a couple of million dollars, one might consider the difference in believe and general acceptance (or at least: a lot more people have heard about Bitcoin now, and more are using it than the original creator could have foreseen (?)) between new projects launched today, and Bitcoin buyers up to (let's say) 1 year ago. A lot of bitcoins are lost due to technical or human errors. This will probably be less likely to happen to the same people buying into the latest ICO... Oh, and how do you buy/trade your altcoins?
  • Ethereum (ETH): has (had) its issues (in the past), for those who remember the DAO hack, this lead to the separation of the original Ethereum blockchain (now Ethereum Classic) which was hard forked because of this hack. While one may argue the ethics about this decision, the community had a tough time aswell: choose between cutting off the funds of a hacker, or keeping the blockchain immutable... The core team chose the first, going its way further as Ethereum (and to the 900$ moon at TOW) and some other chose to stick to the original blockchain, which would be renamed Ethereum Classic. Ethereum should have been Proof of Stake instead of Proof of Work by now, but this 'upgrade' has been postponed for now.  One disadvantage to mention is that your transaction may get stuck due to some breeding cryptokitties... But well, what's the harm in that?!
  • Litecoin (LTC): actually Bitcoins little brother. Brought into life by Lee Litecoin (puts some clarifying and honest tweets about the [Suspicious link removed]munity from time to time). It actually outperforms Bitcoin on a lot of aspects, and being just 2 years younger, it's one of the earlier blockchains around.
  • Dash (DASH): first network to implement MasterNodes. Although having had some initial launch issues, the original blockchain was started in 2014 and named XCoin (XCO), a month later they came up with Darkcoin to be rebranded in 2015 to Dash. Dash also offers the instant send and private transactions features with only +-30% of the amount of tokens Bitcoin will ever have.   
  • Monero (XMR): a blockchain network/project that focuses on privacy by combining transactions together which make it practically impossible to know what input corresponds to what output. According to Wikipedia, Monero has a mysterious creater aswell, know only as 'thankful_for_today' on this very forum. 
  • BitShares (BTS): made by Dan Larimer who developed Steem afterwards and is now working on EOS. Wikipedia summary: "BitShares is an open-source, public, blockchain-based real-time financial platform. It provides a built-in decentralized asset exchange, without the need to trust a central authority to handle all the funds, that can execute trading using an international network of computers." It's also the first in its kind regarding being a Decentralized Autonomous Company: meaning it provides in its own funds and can pay developers to work on 'BitShares' in any way possible (voted of course).
