1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Kaspa Testnet 11 nearer and nearer to the hard fork... on: December 31, 2024, 04:20:01 PM
The Kaspa Network ( kaspa.org ) has been running at 1 block per second without a hiccup for over three years.  Testnet 11 has been running for many months at 10 blocks per second.  Incremental improvements on this testnet have been implemented and while a date for the hard fork has yet to be announced the general consensus is it will be the first half of 2025.

Kaspa seems to still be a fairly little-known project since there are likely no more than about 150K people in the world who even OWN any Kaspa.  When the 10 blocks per second hard fork happens that should draw significant attention as it will surpass its OWN record of being the fastest POW coin in the world by a factor of TEN.

Kaspa was created by a team who have a rich background in crypto and have been cited in numerous white papers for their contribution to the overall crypto space.  It uses a unique BlockDAG structure that allows for blocks to be ordered even if they were presented to the network 'out of sequence' or in parallel. 

I think people are sleeping on Kaspa due to its initial meteoric rise in the first 2 years resulting a year 3 of essentially no price appreciation despite HEAVY developmental progress.

The 'graph inspector' for Testnet 11 can be viewed here in real time, running TEN blocks per second.   http://104.11.218.91:8080/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0dSFdlvHPrQxJg45-yPavzs6AuAJop9r_aNTd13kS-joVkkqLO1nbhexE_aem_Acd2dfwMMx009AbwHaNs6JHtgHVb_rE3Gwpw4a6MYcJGngG94OcPHduh2xxV2NIOZARvZ_mh5EDRU1yFv-zrgTSs

4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / EPIC (Epic Cash) halving coming up very soon - UPGRADE required on: October 28, 2021, 04:11:57 PM
With halving nearly upon us, it is time to update your server to version 2.17. This version accommodates the halving, and the algo change to the new 48/48/4 proportions. As of block height 1157760, mining rewards will be halved, and blocks algos will change to the following:
48% ProgPow  (GPU)
48% RandomX (CPU)
4% Cuckoo (ASIC/CPU/GPU)
Please download the appropriate 2.17 binaries from the official https://epic.tech/downloads/ site ASAP.
THE BINARIES ARE LIVE NOW 😎👍
Please search and replace both 2.15 files – the  epic.exe and foundation.JSON  with the new ones from the 2.17 downloaded folder. If you have any questions, please post in the Epic Cash Help Desk group - https://t.me/epiccashhelpdesk
For people with technical knowledge to compile their own – the source code is located https://github.com/EpicCash/epic/tree/2.17

Please note, with 2.17 - mining software has not changed, wallet software has not changed.

Also, please note, this is not the V3 update, that will come after the halving – stay tuned for additional instructions regarding V3.

5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / PRE-ANN - Airgrab scheduled for EPIC (Epic Cash) on: February 15, 2021, 03:25:08 AM
Watch here for more details...

But this is a heads up that on 2/28, a snapshot of the Epic Cash Chain will be made, allowing all holders of EPIC to receive 1 ERC-20 token for each EPIC held at that time.

Read more about EPIC at epic.tech.   

Use the links at the site to join Telegram, where the most active user group is found. 

EPIC is a Mimblewimble coin with a fixed cap of 21 million EPIC, no premine, and can be mined with CPU (RandomX), GPU (ProgPow) or ASIC miners (Cuckoo).  Started in September of 2019, this coin is a community driven project and is on the cusp of some major developments with the ERC-20 token creation being part of that ecosystem.

This is NOT the official announcement.  This is a 'heads up' if you will.  Since the snapshot is now two weeks away, I thought some might want to research the project to try to take advantage of the timing of things...

6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / SCAMCOIN - new project with all the BEST FEATURES of other SCAM coins on: June 06, 2019, 05:51:40 PM
This is a pre-announcement for SCAMCOIN, but here are the details as they stand right now...

1. SCAMCOIN (SCM) will rely upon dead and dying announcement threads in order to propagate interest among the crypto community
2. SCAMCOIN will use the names of already-existing projects in order to bring in unsuspecting users.
3. SCAMCOIN will link to everything pretty much legitimately, including websites, pools, exchanges and block explorers, BUT...
4. SCAMCOIN will deceitfully change the correct wallet and miner links in order to send the user to various forms of malware.
5. SCAMCOIN will almost always be posted by BCT users who are brand new.
6. SCAMCOIN will also have a couple of generic posts UNDER the OP with generic praise... 'Very good project and will follow closely. Thank you'.  Yeah... like an old ANN thread from a coin given up on 10 months ago is a good thing...

These are all the details for now.  I am busy coding the malware at this time.  Once I am done, look for about a dozen posts to obscure and dead coins with my links to keyloggers, remote access agents or whatever else I can slip past you.
7  Economy / Scam Accusations / BEWARE of links that are NOT what they APPEAR to be on: June 05, 2019, 11:43:40 PM
I just found about  half dozen new ANN threads for projects that are NOT new, but which are being posted to try to deceive you into downloading and running something OTHER than the wallet that is being offered.

Watch your links VERY closely.  In fact, I would go so far as to say do NOT download ANYTHING from these ANN threads at all.  Find the legitimate website for the project or the legitimate Discord channel and get your downloads from more trustworthy sources.

Three of the scam posts that I just saw led to a download for a wallet for Fydcoin - whatever that is.

Why would a Ravencoin thread link to a fydcoin wallet? 

I would stay away from this shit big time.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Do NOT be scammed here... on: October 23, 2018, 02:45:43 PM
Please take EXTREME caution when diving into new crypto ANN threads.

There is one poster who is posting what APPEAR to be NEW projects, but what he is doing is taking legitimate EXISTING projects and using his own new thread to entice people to download his malicious code that could cost you dearly.

The poster goes by HardZix.

He has new thread after new thread that LOOK like the real deal - except for one detail...

The link to the wallets or miners are changed to his own malicious code. How do I know this?

On October 15 I downloaded and tried to run a wallet for Nektarcoin in one of his threads.  The wallet did not run... at least not as a wallet.  I figured it was just broken.  Then people started to report it as a virus.  We all know that crypto miners are always setting off false alerts so I did not think that much about it.  

On October 16, I opened my RVN wallet and to my utter dismay, all of my Ravencoin was GONE.  250,000 coins.  Gone.  The transfers were made on the morning of 10/16 and the only way that could have happened would have been through remote access to my computer.  Scary stuff.  This person also tried to change online accounts to his own - but all that did was allow me to know one of his email addresses... 

I then read 2 more reports about people who had downloaded from his posts and they said they experienced loss of coins as well in the same manner.

I have reported this guy to the moderators and NOTHING has been done to stop him.  I have warned people in his bogus threads and... my warnings have been deleted.

Do NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING FROM THIS GUY'S THREADS.
