The coin claimed to be very scalable, do we have any actual data to support it?
523  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Experienced altcoin developer looking for partnership on: September 24, 2016, 07:07:41 AM
to do some good work...

I am looking for someone who is good at marketing and communications, developers are welcome too. I am expert on the altcoin code and are looking at some more advanced concepts, need a team to brainstorm and working on it.

PM me if interested. Thanks.
524  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-ANN] STRATIS | Blockchain Development Platform | ICO Starts 20th of June on: June 16, 2016, 03:30:56 AM
lol, so many ICOs, same style, ... easy money now with ICO and some nice graphics, lol

We probably have a different way of thinking when it comes to ICOs. I started looking through Krushang's history and contributions he's made on projects.  That's always my first step when evaluating ICOs. My next step is to ask myself if it offers something different.  Is this another Lisk clone? Does it strengthen some part of a different ecosystem?  Next, anything that isn't understood by me to even consider an ICO, see previous questions I had in this thread, I post them immediately.  The quality of the answers helps me decide how much time I'll spend investigating.  I skimmed the white paper once, after the last step I mentioned, it gave me enough to read through the white paper in detail.  I still have a lot of questions, but I'm starting to see the potential.

Graphics are fun I guess, not really my starting point. Please hit with some tough questions, it helps all of us!

if you look at these "successful" ICOs, all sell with nice graphics and some up-in-the-air "whitepaper"s, the ideas are copied around, often abstract and no concrete plans for implementation and new insights. It's all about hype. I've seen this for several years in this space, look at these "hot" coins 2-3 years ago, how many still left? All hot that time because they have nice graphics attracting those who chase the mode.

I can't speak about how others invest, that might be. I had specific reasons to invest heavy in Lisk and Waves based on the team and what they were trying to accomplish. I like what I'm reading about this one so far, I know I'll have more questions in the coming days. I don't worry too much about others.

this is wild west now, scams and chances are mixed. but given a few recent ICOs went crazy, it is expected many will get on the train trying to get something quick and easy....

Ah, right.  That makes sense!  Kinda seems obvious, now that you've explained it  Cool

Thanks very much for the explanation.

Follow-up thought:  To avoid forking, it seems like the "best" PoW scheme would be one where block-finding times are close to the mean (i.e., variance is low).  Since mining is essentially random, I guess the right mental model would be a renewal process -- almost Poisson, actually, but mining always gets more difficult over time.

Makes me think that the multi-hash-function algorithms popular in altcoins right now (X11, X13, etc.) are inherently more prone to forking, because of the extra among-hash-functions variance.  And, coins with random "superblocks" would be bad for the same reason.  Hmm.  I wonder if this is true empirically.

Not sure I understand why "superblocks" would cause any problem. These are the blocks with only payout difference, no hash algo diff. Can you explain some more?

I did not realize that superblocks are of the same difficulty as normal blocks.  If this is the case, then superblocks should be fine.

This conversation makes me think that a "crypto dictionary" would be very useful.  What are superblocks?  What is X11?  X13?  What algos are used, and are they selected randomly or deterministically?  It's hard to find clear definitions for anything (aside from the tech in Bitcoin itself).

Yes no diff change for superblocks. Superblocks are random blocks (depends on the hash) that will generate 10X or 100X even 1000X the normal payout. The algorithm usually use deterministic random number generation and the seed is based on some part of the hash.
533  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Does proof-of-work solve the Byzantine generals problem? on: August 26, 2014, 05:39:40 AM
Yes, assuming all players are honest, the network must converge after sufficient time, since mining is a random process.

Let's say the network delay is somewhere between 0s to 10s, and we have 2 competitive forks of the same length, fork A and fork B. Let delta be the difference between the time of finding the next block in the 2 forks. If delta is smaller than 10s, the network may not be able to decide the order of the the 2 blocks and the fork would continue. However, since mining is a random process, there is a chance (P) that delta is much larger than 10s. When this happens, the network will converge to the longest fork immediately. P approaches 1 as we wait longer.

That's why it's a bad idea to have a block interval of 1min or even shorter. When the block interval approaches the network delay, we will have more forks and more work is wasted.

Ah, right.  That makes sense!  Kinda seems obvious, now that you've explained it  Cool

534  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Multisig Addrss UTXO spent (hacked) on: August 26, 2014, 05:17:48 AM
I did use extremely simple passwords. I guess he just brute forced the private keys, generated the Multisig address and if it contained UTXO sent them to his account.

Multisig redeem script contains public keys.

this was your transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/18eae575e18c47d5b8c14fddbe7e31299359cc5d3ce23f9c64a2af0fc0817806
public keys are:

Code:
"043394c36007889341b06434535adbb6d9ff8d54f0a075f660f9a15c5c160bd24eb8f9bd98d32e3b6624d1fefa360496d8a98f8ee2e558e6d0e385ff1afc2b70b7"
"049b0ee70d754c419be928df649029004bbffbe1f0a3a5b60f2c5141eb4e109438b8bfb6f68776d4632bbfa9ce2646388d4f436a350fa0fa3d9fd0ecd83a63da25"
"0491e379d32b48a0fde8e7923a41d6b2004636aabb9b47efc564770d582e59714c8594e592fc6f17b25afbd912f0750e66a2744c73776b88f42c63fdc338d29bbf"

it was not too difficult to check associated private keys for these public keys  Grin

two of three to redeem:
Code:
  { "5JAimMxne7A62i25P7MjjX37d5WCK3dUzgzmUSzqPdKstqjY2nx", "141995JqUd7VkHfggTKqPSPvK3deuinbit", "billgates" },
  { "5KS5cGrx2uvFjMgnvQSeyajtS7CAhhCfLxQrx7xFrJ5VETLRVGT", "126zmC4XSu5nFU7bYZVwEn9iVc82MXk15B", "aznar" },

Any bitcoins sent to such an address or public key are very likely to be quickly stolen.
Unfortunately, my script had a bug  Roll Eyes No luck yet

how? by brute force?

539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MAMM] MammothCoin| REAL TRUSTLESS WALLET RELEASED on: August 26, 2014, 05:07:47 AM
MammothCoin phase 1 mixer wallets (master nodes) closed. New trust-less network started. 25 Aug. 2014


You will be connected safe trustless network anymore. This is a new era in the blockchain app technologies evolved so far.  

Now, users will get randomly SuperSend fees. We, developers, have zero profit from Supersend fees anymore. Mammothcoin users (or user network) are now the only owner of these fees. Dev team is not part of this anymore. We can say Mammothcoin network can now pay random rewards. min. 0.25 MAMMs for those who is lucky. This is one of reason makes MammothCoin so special.

If you want to play mixer or guarantor role please make sure:
-Hold minimum 500 MAMMs in your MammothCoin QT (in any wallet address)
-Create minimum 2 MammothCoin wallet addresses

What makes MammothCoin so Unique?
You are protected from master node bad practices (currently all other anonymous cryptos uses this system)
What are these bad practices,

-They may charge you and get richer with your anonymous transfers.
-They can see your transfer how much and when send
-They may take (steal) these coins in the master nodes anytime they wish and simply go away
you have nothing to do.
-They may give your transfer details to the authorities when asked (they are the only manager of that wallet) Because there is lots of movement on that wallet it can be easy found at investigations.
-They can anytime stop the service because hosting master nodes costful actually you are paying for these.

This is MammothCoin when you use mammothcoin trustless network,
-Dev team has ZERO or NO effect on your anonymous transfers. We dont know what you do.
-We do not mix it we create new multisig address only for the transfer.
Multisig is the currently known best and only technology one can use for anonymous tech products. You can check another sample https://openbazaar.org/
-It's real complex task and not every developer can handle this much complex products.







nice coin, I am glad to see two real trustless wallets released...
540  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Darkcoin - Will it rise again? on: August 25, 2014, 08:21:55 AM
Considering you guys don't have a GUI, I'd say you're more like IRC chat  Grin

LOL - hopefully we upgrade ourselves to Skype levels soon enough;)

GUI is nothing, GUI is just for marketing, the tech is more important.

CryptoNote is a good tech, multisig is a good tech, p2p anon trustless using multisig is a good tech, central mixer... it's a ok one, but not fit well into the p2p nature of crypto coin, so it's a less good tech. Though I understand it is easy to implement and many coins claiming anon using it, including DRK.

Because DRK did not use the best tech, it can't be the leader of the anonymous coin, it was in leading position for some time only because of promo and hype.

I think xmr and drk can win together.

because drk is based on bitcoin, its APIs are the same or very similar. those who run bitcoin can run drk, in place of or alongside. think porn sites adn gambling that now accept bitcoin. once customers start to get scared of being linked to using these services, drk can run alongside very easily, quickly and therefore cheaply.

drk using 8 rounds of mixing from within the wallet, that's pretty good tech, imho

xmr is different tech. those that don't like bitcoin, they can run xmr. there are plenty of takers.

XMR can win, not DRK, for the evident reasons stated above.
