Now at $7. DUMP WHILE YOU STILL CAN..

Kergekoin will be missing from this thread at $5 and from the forum at $3, and from the crypto business at $0.1.

And there's hardly any sell wall right now which means the miners are NOT dumping (which, considering the above text maybe bad and good news cause they're planning to dump at higher prices, preventing a price rise).

The cheap buy orders in the exchanges (LTC, DOGE market) are not getting fulfilled which suggests the same (miners not selling it cheap).

You cannot take a crypto down by dumping it in the exchange in the initial phase.

Suppose coin X has 10 Million coins currently mined, and everyone dumps it at 1 satoshi. At 1 SAT, the market cap of X will be 0.1 BTC which mean it'll be no where close to success. For it to reach success, it needs to reach a position of 50, which means ~470 BTC networth. 0.1 BTC is a negligible amount as compared to 470 BTC, and for these dumpers, the coin will be worth 469.9 BTC worth instead of 470 which is no difference. So it really doesn't matter if everyone dumps the coin -- it hardly makes any difference in the economics only if there's interest in the coin by the investors. Then everyone wont dump the coin, only a small % will be dumped which's hardly any amount.
245  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / KGW, Digishield: does it really prevent instamine? on: July 04, 2014, 03:41:53 PM
KWG is characterized by smooth difficulty increase on rapid increase in network hashrate, which helps intaminers as compared to sudden difficulty retargets of a simple algo.

Cause the difficulty increase slowly, the intaminer will take advantage by quickly generating blocks and stop mining once the difficulty is high enough.

But when the instaminer is gone, the high difficulty is left for regular miners to take care off, and the block chain speed slows to a crawl. What makes matters worst is that the difficulty goes down slowly over time instead of suddenly going down like we have with regular algorithms. It takes the same amount of time to recover from the high difficulty set by the instaminer.

So as compared to simple algorithms which re-target every block, KGW has a disadvantage -- the regular algo will increase the difficulty suddenly preventing an instamine, KGW does it slowly helping in the instamine.

KGW has only one minor advantage -- it'll prevent the blockchain from halting for a longer period of time, but will not prevent the instamine.

Digishield is worst -- it helps the instaminer further by slowly increasing the difficulty, while the difficulty goes up, the total no. of blocks mined is over the target. But Digishield brings the difficulty down aggressively which again means more blocks mined per unit time as compared to the target block interval. So basically that means in these situations the target block interval will be horribly off target and there will be over inflation.

2 QB after 15,852,081 coins?

What do you mean?

Suppose, all of 15,852,081 coins have been minted. After that if I mine blocks, will I still get 2 QB block reward?

You're talking to a dead dev.


I really wish he'll respond. He needs to be more active for the coin to be even a little bit success.

It'll be missing in a year or 2. So will be you.

Bitcoin down 0.42%, LTC down 9.11%

This's how coins die.

Oh poor OP with literally no idea how crypto economy works.
But i have to admit that it was amusing to read.
Quote my words for future. Litecoin will hit 50 $ within a year or in worst case 2 years.

Quoting for future.

Done, let's see what happens.

Well, actually not $0.1, but it'll drop by 50% at least.

So you "slightly" miscalculated before? About by a 5000% ? Allright then. Pro predictions.

That was sarcasm, but looking at these --

One may like to bet on 0.1

BTC 5.4% up, LTC 0.3% up.

Nice progress to $50.

A new dead coin in the making with great community support (oh, you know PoS, all miners support it but no investors are interested).

When will this move off scrypt?
254  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sending Bitcoins to an offline address. on: June 21, 2014, 05:41:36 PM
Clients maintain a database of just the unspent outputs (UTXO) as only unspent outputs can be inputs for new txs.  This is ~800MB.  The raw blocks from the blockchain are not used in the verification of new txs.

Thanks for verifying that.
255  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sending Bitcoins to an offline address. on: June 21, 2014, 04:52:57 PM
Just one more question -- how much computation power is required to verify transactions?

The verification is the easy part. The hard part is to find a block to put the TX in. Well if thats hard depends on the difficulty.

And more importantly -- doesn't this need a lot of disk i/o?

No, the last blocks just had a few KB in size

62 KB https://blockchain.info/block-index/435023/00000000000000005077bb73156f2d8efb26a64ca0ab46ab7bb632c1c994c7c7
319 KB https://blockchain.info/block-index/435022/000000000000000009d35810ba51943841bb8123d3611be56209194bd1a069bc
91 KB https://blockchain.info/block-index/435021/000000000000000047afcea8bd87cc842b37c843b1e5643455a9f24d3b291700

IIRC the current limit on size per block is 1 MB. Thats easily stored in RAM

Actually I was more concerned about the seek times. Suppose the input refers to an old transaction that has to be searched in the block chain, which should take quiet a lot of CPU and more importantly disk i/o.

What I didn't know was that the miners do the verification of the transactions -- that was the missing link. Thanks!
258  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Sending Bitcoins to an offline address. on: June 21, 2014, 03:26:47 PM
If I send Bitcoins to an address which's offline what will happen?

As per my understanding, sending Bitcoins to an offline or non-existing address will not eat up my balance cause the receiving address needs to be broadcasted by the receiver and that broadcast needs to be recorded in the block chain, since the receiver is offline, this broadcast wont happen.

So if I rescan my wallet, I should get my Bitcoins back.
