Bter volume is small.You need to add to the bittrex.

I cannot see Checkcoin on Bittrex. Do you have a link ?

Luckily I'm immune to fud, as I do my own research and definitely don't need the opinion of a disillusioned shitcoin gambler.
And so far I see a dedicated team behind this coin with a 5+ POD and a few childhood diseases like the blockissue, but that is a minor issue and picked up by the devs quickly.
All in all as trustworthy as a cryptocoin can be imo.

About right.

The most extreme Trolls and Fudsters are the embittered gamblers . Their investment track records are abysmal, so if you use them as a contrary indicator, you might win a few more than average.
1223  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][Checkcoin] Explore the world using Crypto! [POW PHASE STARTED] on: September 21, 2014, 04:38:23 PM
so you dont have sales

its quite evident  

FUD etc..
and the pools should be showing the blocks as zero its an issue that wont go away at block 8000

I buy a few thousand every time I see a FUD post (whether or not it's justified). I am happy to lose 100% if it goes wrong, but overall I have made good profits using this strategy over the past year.

Someone should compile a paperwallet generator for this coin.

Useful thread... will probably grow well.

Note Supercoin is absent from the list...  100% PoS, novel anon send system. Plans for a 150% PoS (50% bonus for 'Proof of Rich' ie wallet balance above certain threshold has higher stake rate).
SuperSend Trustless makes heavy use of multisig technology. The sender of the coin will randomly choose 2 middle service nodes from his service node list to help the anonymous transfer. Among the two nodes chosen, one provides the mixing service, and another provides a guarantee service (like a form of escrow, where cheating causes losses to the cheater, because they provide their own coins for the round-trip transaction, getting a small fee)

A paperwallet generator for Checkcoin would be beneficial , especially at this stage, where the wallet software will be frequently upgraded.

Are PoS coins merge-mineable ?

Please excuse me if that is a silly question !

Many of the outside investors do not think in the short time scale that crypto has existed.  Many normal investments are 5, 10, 20 year plans.

Not sure what you mean and whether it is related to Quark.

Do you mean that most investors in Quark bought their Quark, transferred it from the exchange to their private wallets and are waiting 5, 10, 20 years? And they don't care it is dropping in price since January 2014?




Yes, why not.

I have put my QRK into coldstore for now, and I will not consider selling for years. I don't care how low it goes.
1228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: HoboNickels - HBN - High Fast Stake - Version 1.5 Beta Release 2 - Full S4C on: September 19, 2014, 12:52:11 PM

High PoS is a niche mindset (which I support). I have found that the vast majority of posters/communities in other coins are completely impervious to the good arguments for high PoS (ie, they cannot understand it)

Therefore I do think it a good move to create a high PoS community.

The fact of the matter is that most alts out there are merely a vehicle to more BTC and hence more fiat, at least to these "investor" types. Hell, look at how Ethereum has been deflating the BTC ecosystem with it's IPO fund cashouts.

Since there is nothing keeping people in most alts since they are driven by pure speculation, they create negative feedback loops. For example, you notice the price of your alt falling, perhaps dramatically (since a consortium is leaving the coin). Even if you have faith in the coin, you may cash out to "buy back later," exacerbating the price decline. Even worse is, when price/volume doesn't return to the coin and people just continue to dump or leave coins at sell orders, clogging the order books with sell orders, traders are unlikely to return.

High PoS, almost by design, recognizes these aspects and creates an ethical pump and dump cycle. Minters are attracted to the high PoS; they stake and "trickle" a portion of earnings onto exchanges. Buyers are attracted to high PoS as well, but the sell side is so thin they have to either eat into it for big blocks, trade OTC, or provide liquidity on the buy side. Coins are kept off exchanges to mint coins, and any movement to an exchange requires (1) more work than just clicking sell and (2) a decision made in relation to the stake age - "Hmmmm, I have another 6 hours on this block, maybe I'll just wait." It's also clear it attracts a different mindset, since high PoS coins with a good community are surprisingly resilient.

Good points.

High PoS coins have a better chance of surviving the mass extinction of altcoins (which process we are in now) because the communities are more resilient, and less driven by speculation (as you said)

Question for everyone.

I am going to be making a choice about IRC. There are 2 options that I see.

#1 Remove it completely from the code. It is already disabled and will only use IRC if the users forces it with -irc=1.
#2 Or we can also keep it in there and I can add to it, so it will connect to a IRC channel and allow users to chat with each other. The wallet will not use it to look for peers though.

Do we remove and forget about IRC, or keep it and expand it's usage?

My personal opinion is to lose it. As I don't think the wallet needs the extra bloat(code wise) and it could open up an additional security concerns. 

However it is probably mostly safe and could be a fun addition to have.

So I'll let you all decide.  Let me know.

Thanks!



I'm for having as basic a wallet as possible. No reason to have text chat, VoIP, video chat, and all this crazy stuff wallets are trying to do nowadays. Since a lot of these high PoS coins have pretty quiet communities, I'd recommend they all band together into a single high PoS channel, say #crazysteak or #posinvestors or something.

Good feedback. I am pretty much feeling the same way.

Is there anyone that wants it?  Speak now or forever hold your peace!

What about other features? Like market data, or watch only addresses, or other things. Are these something we want to try to get integrated?

Supercoin has never been in danger technically. Many people just look at what is written in this forum, and use it as if it were gospel. That gives plenty of scope for mischief, affects price too.

The major problem is that the developer/developers are gone. They must be seeing what has been happening but they haven't done anything.
Whatever work is done by others to advance this coin, they need to be in good contact with the developers.
This behavior by the developers is very strange to say the least. Why don't they start to organize the way forward?



Where was it posted that the devs are gone?  I never seen that...

Devs haven't gone. They are just waiting for a war of words to blow over.

Everyone tweet btc38 we need new money flowing in!


this.  dogecoin/dogeparty could have the edge over viacoin/clearinghouse due to the simple fact that china has access to dogecoin but not to viacoin.  i think dogeparty is really underrated.

Doge anything is retarded.   VIA is on another level.

 Grin Doge is strong nowadays, what happen? Hope Via will be top 10 asap Embarrassed Tongue

Doge is now merged mined with LTC The network has guaranteed strong support.

Any alt (BTC competitors) coins trying to make it on their own (without collaboration) face an uphill struggle in the future.

This is a technically incorrect statement. Merged mining simply allows merged mining. There is no correlation to between the merged mined coin and the parent coin (which can be any scrypt coin actually).
It still remains to be seen what will happen when block subsidy drops to zero given there is pretty much no revenue from transaction fees. It means that pools will simply be doing a favour to doge, which I am sure many will do, but there are no economics.

I could say a lot more, but I dont want to get in to the technical debates about merged mining and economics.

Ok, yes. The renewed support is really about confidence then (something ephemeral but with a real-world effect). There will be more DOGE miners (by whatever means) thus strengthening the network against attack (for now)

Would that be a better way of putting it ?
1233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AnimeCoin [アニメコイン] ANI (New Thread!) on: September 15, 2014, 10:06:57 AM
The coin has some buy walls on comkort.
It's difficult to get people to accept this coin as a currency when it has not much community backing.
Doge is doing well because people are so aware of it Social media and a silly meme do wonders apparently.

Maybe the coin needs a new look
Definitely needs more community need to recruit people
Once the coin has a better sized community backing it it is more reasonable to ask websites to accept ANI for there products
then they can hold or exchange it for bitcoin->USD

Some anime streaming or game websites giving exclusive perks to anime coin donators would raise awareness nicely if the sites are frequented.
sites like crunchyroll or exhentai or some fansubbing group would be good

We really need another BIG market for trading, 24-hour Volume on Poloniex : 0.7441313 BTC / 2142.29916054 VIA

You mean only Bittrex is not enough ? (103 btc 24hr vol).

Surprising that Cryptsy and BTER have such low volume.

With most coins, I guess the volume tends to flow to one exchange.

VIA is quite young, I would think it will change in time.

Ok..Im a bullshitter.. you need to go back in this thread about 10 days ago were I warned EVERYONE that they need to get out NOW while they can. I was so short on cash I handed a few nice members that backed me 10,000 super each. LOL. Gawd I live for this crap.

You have made some good points about speculation. Nobody can predict with certainty, but there are better and worse ways.

I see you are a trader / risk taker, and can respect that.
1237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [VIA] ★ Viacoin ★ ~ the future of digital currency ~ ★ on: September 14, 2014, 01:37:01 PM
They are waiting for that buy signal while others are manipulating the price to go down.

Thanks!
What do you mean by "manipulating"? You can`t short VIA, so how do you profit from "manipulating" the price down?
When I look at bittrex, there seems to be some effort by a "whale" to keep the price from falling and lots of small sells (miners?).

Edit: oops, big buywall just got eaten up.

'Manipulation' talk is nonsense.

The price is merely trending down, and will stay in its trend until there are new buyers.

everyone hopes the devs can do everything, but unless you have a gang of people like XC or stellar or some other hype only coins, this won't happen for a small and tech dev team like supercoin's.


Yes. I have watched many great coins run into this situation. Eventually, a big team is always needed. Recruiting at the early stages is essential.

Things can pick up fast when the team expands.
1239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SUPERCOIN] Mandatory Upgrade V.3.1.1 or V.1.6.1 on: September 14, 2014, 12:07:07 AM
Did the developers really just said no to supernet and POD, and blow off simply working with friendly\willing people to verify the supersend code does what is advertised?

There are 2 great opportunities to both show it off and then blog about it. (with or without giving up the source) Why waste it?
If the actual developer does not want to demonstrate it publicly and explain how it works and why it is the best, then who will? and why the hell should anybody else?

This reluctance even to speak to anyone has just wasted a bunch free advertising, pissed off supporters, and killed the price.

No wonder everyone is selling.











SuperNet even chimes with the name.  PoD needs consideration as well.  Pity to throw them away. Needs some responses from the dev, even if it is not felt suitable (reasons etc)

That error was after a fresh git clone  Huh

wait... why r u even updating? dont make the changes to the nodes until i actually push out an official version, the last changes to my git was just me tinkering and actually breaks things. u should be on 1.9 right now

Link to windows wallet 1.9 is dead  Shocked

Hmm...can't trust the on-line file hosts any more. When Griffith comes on-line I will ask him to put the files on our own server.

Here you can also find the wallets: https://github.com/Greg-Griffith/ECCoin/tree/master/release


Is this a new release ? Maybe best give more time: wait for announcement, with the respective nodes.
