I have no clue what the 2of2 or 2of5 means though. But what I do know s it means XMR can be added to decentralized exchanges when it's complete, correct?

'N of M' means N signers are needed out of a set of M possible signers.

This is used for all sorts of escrow and wallet schemes, such as 2FA where you don't give up control of your coins (2 of 3 where you hold 2 of the coins, the 2FA service holds 1).

Yes, some form of this is what some decentralized exchanges require, though depending on the specifics they may also need other capabilities.

Currently I’m using nanopool (for XMR mining) and I was curious if they have protection from ‘pool hoppers’ ? (a form of cheating).  Also, if there is a list of Pools which have sufficient protection from this then please provide the list or link.  Thanks!

Any pool that uses PPLNS (including nanopool) will be immune to pool hopping (assuming it is implemented correctly)

Can someone fill me in on the exit scam?  And also where I can download the game?  I always wondered if this project left the role playing stage.

He issued B1 (mBTC) and E1 (€) which weren't backed by actual mBTC and €
When people started withdrawing he didn't pay out

Outstanding debt without interest is at 600BTC

The game doesn't download, you can access it over cryptokingdom.me

The matter is discussed amply in other CK threads and will be deleted from here promptly. Rebels have stolen both my BTC paperwallets (Embassy 4/2017) and XMR online wallets (hack 2/2016 and before). B1/E1 situation became untenable when my accounts representing more than 50% of the game were blocked from access (Ultima 5-6/2017). As a result the marketcap collapsed.

Utter and complete bullshit. Your access was blocked only after you turned the game into a scam, and refused to pay your debts. The administrators of the game are doing their best to recover from a bad situation that YOU created, and salvage some value from a game into which many have invested time and money, an investment that you did your utmost to trash.

The B1/E1 'situation became untenable' only because YOU created tokens out of thin air (fractional reserve scam step one) and then YOU not only refused to deliver funds to back those tokens (fractional reserve scam step two) but then YOU explicitly agreed to buy a large number of those tokens from those otherwise left holding the bag on your malfeasance but YOU refused to uphold YOUR end of the deal (fractional reserve scam step three).

Your parade of excuses that rivals the biblical plagues (fires, floods, and hacking, too!) has nothing to do with your refusal to pay debts. It is no one else's fault or responsibility that you (supposedly) left paper wallets sitting next to unattended lit candles, or that you are one of the earliest crypto users but can't figure how to secure your own wallets from hackers. (Nor, for that matter, that you got yourself into debt in this manner at all.)

Pay your debts.

If deleted, the notice of deletion will be added to scam thread as further evidence of bad intent and ongoing abuse of self-moderated threads to suppress accurate information about your history of scamming, most likely to facilitate future scamming.

CryptoKingdom died?  I see posts from rptelia from just a few days ago about it.

Always wondered if it ever actually became a game instead of a spreadsheet and a role playing thread but never got around to checking.  How's he a scammer?
  Exit scam.  He ran off with 7 figures.   I am very sympathetic to those who lost money, but good riddance IMO.

Whoa rptelia did?  Good grief - from the game coffers?  How's he still keeping the game going then?  7 figures of $ or 7 figures of Monero?

He locked the game thread and started a "new" game. I doubt there are any/many actual players besides his imaginary friends.

The original game continues with a few die hards who have kicked him out and are attempting to revive it.

You can read more here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1890786.0

Other than that it seems somewhat off topic. CK was certainly not the biggest use case for XMR, though it had ambitions of growing into that, never realized.



What is bigger?
Assuming the trading in Poloniex is excluded...
Some darkmarkets adapted Monero but afaik it was barely used there...? If I recall right, there was 1 psychiarist in New York City who accepted Monero payments...?

What's bigger is simply speculation, and wanting a private store of value (this is somewhat circular as it involves speculating on it being an even more useful private store of value in the future).

Why exclude poloniex or speculation in general. Most of CK was just yet more speculation anyway (land, in-game assets, etc.). Very few put money into the game solely or even primarily for the reason of "Oh, this game is SO much fun I want to SPEND money on it!"

Transactional use inevitably exists because people who are storing value want to spend it (or for that matter add to it, as savings). So they trade for other currencies (perhaps through other intermediates first), which requires transactions.

All of this is use.

That said, it would not surprise me if 2% of Alphabay, while in a sense "barely used" might still dwarf the transactional volume of CK.

By the way, howbout Smooth calling Reptilia a scammer?? I've never heard of a more pot/kettle situation.

Interesting. Where is the list of people I owe money who have not been paid? Where is the documentation of some deal I made which has to been upheld?

Because there is a (partial) list of those out money due to rpitilla's fractional reserve scam and unpaid debts in the OP of this thread.

Anyway, the scammer has now locked his original self-moderated game thread and started a 'new' game complete with new self-moderated thread, which will likely result in a repeated scam. Beware. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2007496.0

EDIT:

Scammer still deleting from his self-moderated threads, in this case the new thread created to rope in more victims after locking the old one.

Actually there's a logic. Whales dump the coin they get for free. People who don't know Steemit platform but see it in exchanges buy the coin. They regret and hold or sell for loss. Cycle continue with new people. Polo price is more than Trex, some people think arbitrage is a good idea but they don't know Polo deposit/withdrawal is not active.

Polo deposit/withdraw has been active for a few days.

Most of the early whales have already dumped.

Your comment suggests STEEM is nothing but a one way downward trend but that is wrong. It is up 20x from a few months ago, and the market cap recently broke the ATH and is still reasonably close to one.

As with all coins profit and loss are possible. Traders should be informed and trade with care.
669  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Steemit.com: Blogging is the new Mining on: July 07, 2017, 10:11:03 PM
Will never deal with this currency again. There is no logic in its rises and falls.

Again, nothing particularly different from the rest of crypto

Does anyone know what happened to the hash rate? It went from 4Mh/s down to 2.75Mh/s. Why the sudden drop?

The coin is abandoned by the dev, the price went down

Please stop the FUD. I have not abandoned anything. I've continued to comment here, reddit, and IRC.

I'm working on finishing up the rebase. The existing code base is fragile, unstable under certain conditions, not used by any other coins any more and needs to be dropped. (I suggested to the exchanges (the ones that I know about) that they disable their wallets until the update is ready because of the observed instability of the network. My recommendation will remain the same until the new release is ready because network instability could lead to major financial losses. These are experimental and complicated systems. Do not expect everything to work perfectly all the time.)

Price will do what it does. Miners will decide whether or not to mine this coin. None of that has any impact on the work being done to improve the coin by deploying a better platform for future development. Yes, there are still plans for future development and the idea is to do something that actually adds value to the cryptocurrency ecosystem and not just another clone.

However you feel about the pace or direction of development, FUD and incorrect statements are not helpful, and paying attention to FUDsters is a good way to get screwed in crypto (not specific to AEON).

BTW, here is where I posted on reddit 3 days ago. If you have the slightest idea how to reddit this would not be hard to find:

900M will be entering the market within a timeframe relevant to todays pricing.

By that standard mined coins would have to include whatever portion will be mined "within a timeframe relevant to today's pricing" (enormously subjective, but by your assertion here that would be at least a year). That has never been done on coinmarketcap.

1% interest per hour... and you guys send him money Roll Eyes

@risto

Why did you do that?
I always had the impression that you were one of the good guys - weird but honest and sincere.

Not exactly. It was money he already owed in the game. He made an offer for cashouts and volunteered 1%/hour interest after 48 hours as a penalty on himself to demonstrate commitment to pay. Of course he didn't actually pay and the interest kicked in, but it was completely avoidable.

Some people may have accepted that offer as an inducement to make additional deposits into the game, but many of us were just cashing out existing holdings (which had become otherwise unredeemable because of rpietilla's fractional reserve scamming)
675  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Steemit.com: Blogging is the new Mining on: July 01, 2017, 06:21:22 PM
Guys, whats happened to price and rewards?(( why they are going down?

Most of crypto is down a bit. There is really nothing remarkable about the STEEM price drop.

As for the rewards, the last hard fork completely changed the voting and reward formulas and it is taking a bit of time to reach a new equilibrium (might be almost there now, but I'm not sure). At first the rewards were higher than normal but have since declined back toward normal.

This proposal expired with no acceptance or counter offer. In fact not even a response. Since my proposal met the steep discounts proposed in the quote above this is indicative that there is no interest and / or ability here to settle these debts even with the steep discounts above.

Sorry YE, the others here have weddings to attend to, and you must understand some of the other of my responsibilities now:

* CK-U
* 6 companies in 2 jurisdictions
* 3 police investigations in as many cities in 2 countries
* $50 million + stolen from me, needs back
* 120 rooms to take care of in Malla
* Future of DAGcoin, XMR, Markka, etc. hinges in my actions
* Typically, when I go to bed, I wake up with 10 PMs and 20 notifications
* I have 2 minors to take care of, plus about 5-10 staff/servants
* Ongoing divorce with legal action all over
* Dating GIRLs, dreaming about a WOMAN, fucking whores
* Global summit going on in Malla/Ibiza/Korea as we speak
* Charity/giveaways running at $1M annualised
* WEEKEND!

Since you are such a master of the universe it should be a simple matter to pay off your debts or even hire someone to manage the repayments for you.

what other financial losses has he suffered, and what is the proof (eg blockchain records, police reports)

There is no proof of any of it. Nor is it relevant. Even if true it is just obfuscation and excuses for scamming. No one else is responsible for his own carelessness or losses.

As printed out numerous times, apart from verifying, nothing prevents him from trickle withdrawing 7K/day from polo and paying off the debts.

Forgive or Excuse for a silly question. I read for a long time that the monero is conducting a series of forks to introduce complete anonymity and there they specified the date of summer-autumn 2017. so with each fork there could be problems but I glimpsed that it was successfully implemented without any problems. So, this series of forks is already over or is still going on? And is it at all, maybe I'm just confusing something)?

They were every half year. Next should be in few months. I am sure block number is already set.  In anonymity aspect it should set minimal mixing. Basically is not really  needed, and that was a reason why i had problems to remember why this hard fork is needed,  since like only 0.1% of transactions are non RingCT.

The more significant change in this fork will be increasing the minimum ring size. Although the default is 5, still a very high number of transactions use 3 (because people want to reduce cost and choose the minimum, even though this is currently a negligible savings). The fork will increase the minimum to at least 5 and possibly higher. The cost difference of even 10-20 is currently fairly small, and the improved resistance to blockchain analysis is significant.

Mandatory RingCT is largely irrelevant as you point out since nearly all already use RingCT and that would continue to get closer and closer to 100% anyway.

Thanks, My pending 5000E1 and current 5000E1 have been paid.
Man of his word! Respect

Curious how the words of praise and claims of repayment come from Newbie accounts while well known forum members appear to remain unpaid.

Pay your debts.

FYI, my payment address is noted on the spreadsheet, along with most of the others. Partial payments will be happily accepted. Full payment of the principal will cease further interest accrual.

@generalizethis, I edited your comments about kicking rpietilla out of the game and seizing his assets into the OP. Now my question to you is whether those assets are going to be used to compensate the players who were scammed?

Yes, if risto does not pay his debt and reclaim his account, his assets will be used to repay the debt he created, and this is a huge IF, if the game is successful enough to do so.

And just to be clear, I am using some seized assets (his M, land, and deposhares will remain untouched as per game rules) to create bounties and fund other projects to help ck become a successful gaming platform.

Also, I did not follow this thread, but will do so as to answer any questions that may arise about the game sans risto.

Thank you for the reply. I will copy this information to the OP so people will be aware of this apparent effort on the part of the current game operators to do something for the scammed players.
