Idea For A Sustainable Alternative To The Signature Campaign To Airdrop Remaining BytesI have been following Byteball for some time and I think the end of free coins just by holding the balance was the right decision. However, I do not like the new way to award coins for posts via a signature campaign. Apart from the fact that the benefit to the project should be limited, users who have high levels and probably already own Bytes are preferred. To get new users -- which should be the goal -- this way is rather not sustainable. So I have another suggestion where everyone can participate and do something good. I have long been an active member of WorldCommunityGrid where you can leverage your free computing power for meaningful projects and research, e.g. fighting cancer and diseases, and other important things. The software of WorldCommunityGrid named BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) is quick and easy to install (all major operating systems and mobile phones are supported). Anyone can set up the software in a few minutes and contribute processing power. My idea: why do not we start a WorldCommunityGrid (WCG) Byteball team. For calculating small tasks, participants receive WCG points automatically. Via a Byteball bot, members can connect their Byteball address with their WCG username, and then receive free bytes from the bot - say, once a week - depending on the amount of WCG points earned. WCG provides a simple API with which the data can be read into the Byteball DAG via an oracle. The effort is not big. In principle, only the bot would have to be written. I would have liked to set the task, but unfortunately I'm not a great NodeJs programmer. If possible, the bot could also accept donations, so that the campaign could also be supported by donations and not only by the remaining bytes to be distributed. I would give a donation myself. Do good and get bytes! What do you think about the idea? This is a great idea! We'll do it. Love it. Hopefully this will quiet down the whiners. |

VeChain, still super undervalued!
I dont think so Vechain just need more time to grow like other token/Coin in the Market it needs time to appreciate by the investors and the market forces and drivers just dont push to much VeChain is valued today according to the demand in the market so thats not undervalue its the market dictates nothing more nothing less.
They do tend to jump the gun with partnership announcements but yea they need more time to grow, give it another year or 2 to really see it’s a more accurate market value |

I wonder if the master node war is over ? Numus might have potential but it is going to be difficult to compete with all the other options.

Nice
I'm developing the same project))) and I must say that I am very glad that I was right because I came up with a project without knowing about SN
I think this is a dead end. because now AI authors can already connect AI via "oraclize"
And you are still doing same project that's in your signature  Yes) bur my AI connecting directly without smartcontracts) Right and since you're apparently the developer, would you mind explaining to us simpletons how your project is going to sync to AIs? |

Everything is stone cold right now, but it is a good time to diversify, especially if you missed out on the big gains from the end of last year

I suppose why there is last day of June is marked for main net launch or earlier than that because it was planned from long time to be within second quarter of this year. Seeing the speed of development and highly professional but dedicated approach to sort the things tells us that this will be much more earlier. But again a stable and secure launch is better then hurrying just to meet the deadlines.
last day of June is the last day of Q2 - so it is still within that timeframe and on time. But you're right, if it came down to it, I rather that AE pushes back mainnet launch if they're not ready than try and rush the job. |

Easter-Hackathon is up and you can participate until Sunday. What we are basically looking for is a very cool retargeting mechanism for our artificial "blockchain" implemented in a simplified simulator. If you are interested in hacking around a bit, and if you like to have those $500 worth of Bitcoin, then feel free to participate! All instructions and information as well as the java based simulator that you will be working with can be found here: https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/BlockchainHackathonEaster2018Hi EK, I'm having trouble forging in the online XEL wallet (i've waited beyond the 750 confirmation blocks) - when I input my passphrase it says "Cannot forge with more than 1 accounts on the same node" - I feel like i'm missing some information on how to do it right. |

It is good news for Byteball community. Byteball platform and its services have become more popular and used by more projects (maybe due to its convenience). A new ICO on BB Platform : Worldopoly
I also look at Worldopoly, that is likely potential project which can change the gaming industry based on taking advantage of powerful blockchain hashrates). However, I will discover about the project more when I have spare time. Worldopoly is the world’s first mobile game combining AR, AI, Geolocationing, Blockchain, and DAG.
Again, Bot Store shows us its amazing functions. Wordopoly ICO Bot is already added to the Bot Store.
Congratulations! I don't get how Worldopoly will use Byteball. As far as I read from their official website, Worldpoly will be using ERC-20 ETH tokens. Maybe in-game transactions? Then why get into the trouble of using ETH tokens? idk but something tells me worldopoly could take off - clash of clans, pokemon go, HQ Trivia... or it could be forgotten like angry birds - I havent read into details but mobile gaming keeps growing so theres a chance. |

There might not have been a technological paradigm shift, but there definitely was a societal one. before the 2nd I.R. and cars, people had to get around in horse drawn carriages to get to the train station if they wanted to get out of town. Most farmers still had cattle or horses to pull carts. after the advent of cars and the combustion engine (different from steam) society changed A LOT. I think that is the paradigm shift, a shift in society caused by the technological advances
That is a good point.  I think there also may have been a massive population boom after the petrol revolution where oil was found to be useful in pesticides, fertilizer, fuel, lubricants and a host of widespread innovations which allowed a larger population to be sustainable(which also fuels concerns over peak oil et al). Said population boom could represent many changes which validate the distinction between 1st and 2nd industrial revolutions. I wish academic lexicon, jargon and terminology were more intuitive. Rather than introducing paradigms which further isolate the average person from understanding many of the buzzwords and abstracts utilized within. Lowering the learning curve might not be such a bad thing? Also would not mind more emphasis on terminology which help the average person to put historical events into context in a way which helps the public to recognize real issues society faced in the past and lessons which could be derived from them. I think more emphasis on centralized versus decentralized markets and related phenomena could be more valuable an abstract than distinctions between 1st, 2nd or 3rd industrial revolutions. But hey I'm a supporter of bitcoin and crypto posting on a crypto forum so maybe I am a bit biased there? Especially in this new age of big data where everyone is bombarded with new information all the time, it is hard to take a step back and look at the big picture that the past has painted for us. I think we might be potentially at a fork in the road where either we as a society become more individualistic and centered around self gratification OR we become a sharing circular economy, where knowledge, electricity, logistics, is shared at a fraction of the cost that it was previously. I am a firm believer that it'll be the 2nd scenario. And I inclined to agree with you, I am biased as well, nonetheless I am a firm believer that the cryptocurrency distribution model/smart contracts/Ledger can have a huge impact on the finances of future generations (at least IMHO) |

the electrical grid should and eventually will be decentralized. It might not even use DLT whatsoever (it could tho - POWR token), but lets assume that as the price of solar goes down, its adoptability goes up. Residential areas and Commercially zoned areas with solar panels can sell excess electricity to each other or back to the grid (i.e. the utility company). Right now utility companies have centralized power and they sell for X amount per kilowatt hour. Eventually their power sources will be a decentralized grid of smart houses/businesses that sell excess back to the Utility company or to other homes and businesses directly. ---> this sort of thing is already happening, just on a small scale interesting read: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150204102637.htmSo what is someone will invent another super powerfull power source. Just like todays nuclear stations but safer, cleaner and more efficient. And everything becomes centralized again. Making a special comercial zones with solar pannels imho seems like a waste of space, putting such pannels somewhere in residential areas also doesn't seem efficient, especially if you need to provide electricity to the whole city. Centralization of the power supply is not a problem. I haven't seen anyone arguing about it tbh. The problem of hacking that was described in the article imho is taken from nowhere. Centralized power sources are working for many years and they hardly suffer from hack attacks. Meanwhile blockchain is barely tested in this field and may cause much more problems then we expect. I think you misunderstood what I meant regarding commercial zones, Existing commercial zones (supermarkets, shopping malls, warehouses) can all have solar panels without it being a waste of space, it would in fact be and efficient use of space. Creating a new zone just for solar, i agree, in most cases is not an effective way of using space/deploying solar panels |

I guess we write this off as a scam? This ANN is dead
They are going to launch finally their product on 31st March and they launched a video with their product demo not much time ago, it's not (completely) dead yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5ey_oIdnlIIs it? Tomorrow is the day to release the update, and the final product will come out. I will continue to pay attention to it. Theres a few great projects out there with very little ANN activity, sometimes it is better that team focus on the task at hand. i'm still watching this project from afar and i am not hodling it, but i do think legal smart contracts can play an important role in the future. |

Sorry for taking time with 2018 thread, the thing is almost everything was overpriced AF.
Now some good opportunities exists.
I will update when my picks are ready (some of 2017 will slip into this year, but there will be some new black horses as well)
Stay tuned.
market went a little crazy late last year  - looking forward to your picks for this year, grabbing some popcorn and staying tuned |

That sounds like an impossible solution to reach mass market. Simply because regular internet for most people is just the internet company comes and connects it to their computer.
I don't know, I definitely overly simplified the task but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guifi.neta spanish mesh network was born in 2004 due to lack of service from said ISPs and in 2018 this network continues to grow to this day - "over 46,000 km of wireless links" that seems pretty large scale. 110 new nodes last week https://guifi.net/enIt's still very niche. By mass market I mean your everyday teenage girl (who are not into technology), average FB user, mom and dad, grand parents. Just basically the vast majority of people. Anything that requires an extra step is a bid no no. true, maybe approaching it from a enterprise POV and attack that way. there are definitely scaling issues with WISPs https://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/~barath/papers/celerate-dev15.pdfbut recently a 10gbps omni AP came out https://www.ignitenet.com/products/ml-10g-omni/which can probably handle about about 500 CPEs (maybe more idk, im rather new to this), WISPs are mostly used in Rural areas, but i think with this newer tech we could see these Fixed Wireless providers have more of a presence in cities |

Why this project and not SONM or Golem?
I am not fudding, I am just trying to understand.
Does iexec have a working product? What are the partnerships?
You should do the simple research before you ask the naive questions. Information/details can be found in the website. They like to be spoon fed iExec because because its team is top notch and made of highly regarded scholars Not Golem because they've had months and millions of dollars to deliver proper code and this guy found a vunerability in the code that allows you to photobomb a verified rendered image (He used it to run an XEL add lol) - link : https://github.com/supercomputers/security_audits/blob/master/GolemKanbanana.mdI haven't looked at Sonm in a while so i cant comment. iExec will succeed because it is already starting to be implemented (v2 in may in believe) |

Because XRP actually has its own blockchain (not ERC20) its very fast, and because it is centralized (dev holds the most coins) banks like it, because they can hold said dev accountable - unlike BTC which is slow and centralized in the wrong way (from a banking perspective) (3 miner pools control 60% of hashing power) |

Crypto market is recovering but very slowly. It is a test of strong hands and patience of investors.
definitely a test for strong hands and patience but i think we will continue to see red for a another month or two |
|
|

the ico price was 0.5 and now it's 0.6 cents
amazing in my book, the whole market is red and will probably continue to be red for some time, buy a little bit every week and youll be okay |

When will "Cuckoo Cycle POW"-mining start?
Curious about this as well as it is pretty ambitious to say miners will mine with DRAM, "even with smartphones" still AE is rock solid for me. |

April Fools!! jk, update looks great but more serious question, If Monero hardforks to become ASIC resistant, what does this mean for ITNS, will Intense fork as monero is planning to do? |
