Not sure what you mean but you're clearly confused on something.
The dark network is for beta testing, I don't know how exactly it works but it's probably an image of the actual network some point in the past, you might be able to login there and test some things but DON'T SEND coins to the dark network, they'll get lost. Stay on the light side young padawan!

As for the smart contracts, they'll be available with the ARKVM update.
As per the roadmap (found here: https://ark.io/roadmap) ARKVM is expected to be completed some-when on 2019 and at the moment it's in the early stage of about 39% completion.

I like what they're doing... but I just can't like this specific guy... cut your hair, shave your face, stop stupid poses for photographs!

Most importantly, 1ST is not even used in their platform and the games they support. I don't know what's the point of using a typical point system and lottery rewards for PUBG... And who pays for these lottery rewards anyway?
They could go on with their plan of using their own token as a reward.

In any case, I bet they have implementation problems with Ethereum chain, they should do a swap and go for the ARK platform which seems to offer more tools and so far is very stable.

You had promised some nxy tokens for those who had registered early, had verified and I think they had enabled OTP.
What happened to that promotion? I haven't received anything yet.

I'd do that for you if I had understood what you meant.
What transaction section? What time? There are many transactions happening all the time...

Thanks for the update P4ndoraBox.
Reading your update, I realised Renesis is planning to use Masternodes, even though I knew it since I also translated your ANN thread to Greek I had forgotten about it!

So has the collateral for Masternode rights been decided? Has it been announced and I've missed it?

As long as the prices are so low, personally I'm not interested in doing purchases with cryptocoins... especially BTC which has higher tx fees than PayPal or credit card... at least when doing small purchases.
I think the only viable way to reduce the "supply" of BTC is to reduce the mining rewards but this won't happen for more than a 1,5 year now.

And since we're in the Economy section and not the Bitcoin section, I believe it's fine to mention one interesting solution an altcoin has found to control the supply.
XDNA's team has created an algo which is changing the mining reward amount based on the total hashrate of the network.
1) When the price of a coin falls, naturally miners will start leaving.
2) If miners leave, the hashrate drops.
3) If the hashrate drops, less coins are generated.
4) If less coins are generated, there's less supply.
5) If there's less supply, the price's momentum is pushed upwards.
So lower price = less supply! I found it brilliant when I first read about it!

We're flirting with position 2 on WhatToMine, depending on XDNA's price! Getting closer and closer to position 1, keep the price up people!

PS: Using a 1080ti as reference.

Επίσης το ETH δεν υποτίθεται πως θα άλλαζε σε proof of stake κάποια στιγμή;
Αν και δεν νομίζω πως αυτό θα διόρθωνε το scaling πρόβλημα. Να δούμε πως θα τα πάει το ARK, κάνει πολλά πράγματα καλύτερα από το ETH... παρόλα αυτά όλα τα coins λίγο-πολύ ακολουθούν την ίδια καθοδική πορεία... αυτό μόνο φυσιολογικό δεν είναι.

You can stop spamming now bots... you were never supposed to post your tweets of your fake account on the thread's body. You were supposed to fill a form posted in the initial post which you failed to do.
I'd say thanks for promoting XDNA even after the ending dates, but I doubt any of your followers are real anyway.

No more ironic than a tv star promoting a product he/she is not using in their life!
Marketing is one thing... beliefs are another!

With that said... I still wouldn't promote something I know for sure is a scam or is centered around gambling. IOU which I have on my signature seems to have a decent team who put their faces on the internet instead of hiding, so I don't mind promoting them for a bit of payment.

But the projects I support with my own money are projects like Renesis and XDNA which have a fair start without ICOs.

Merit offering is relative to the total market cap of the cryptocoins!
I guess it makes sense since a lot of people came here to make easy money last year and while the prices are falling and their money have gone to smart people, they're starting to leave the forums.

Most of them were spammers and didn't affect the merit system anyway, but still a lot of free sMerits were given to these people when the system first went into effect. Some other newbies had to be good fellas too, worthy of merit! (statistically speaking)

Hopefully when the exchanges realise how hard it is for startups in this bear market and lower their fees to more fair prices... probably this should start happening as soon as the scam and ponzi ICOs stop.
I feel however like I see less and less ads for ICOs... that's good!

You forgot to open the command with <sarcasm>
To answer this, I'd first like to give a short explanation of what a BIP is. BIP stands for "Bitcoin Improvement Proposals" and as the name suggests, community members suggest an improvement for the Bitcoin protocol in an official and structured manner. Every BIP goes through the some phases while it's being decided if it'll be implemented or not, which usually (but not always) look as the following,


So, BIP 174 is going to allow users to perform offline transactions through a protocol that would allow them to sign transactions without having to upload them to the network immediately.
It's also called as "Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction", PSBT for short.
From the information I've gathered I understand it works almost like a check (cheque) we use for fiat transactions, where we sign in a paper that we'll offer 1000€, give it to a person and then they go to a bank to cash out from our account. In Bitcoin's case we sign a transaction offline, give it to a person, they may even sign it and give it to another person, until finally someone goes online and cash out the BTC from the initial signer.

Serious explanation ends here, bellow is some extra info I've found for which I'm note 100%.

The bellow slides 10 and 11 show an example. If my knowledge in Japanese from years of otaku activities are to be trusted,
https://speakerdeck.com/azuchi/bip-174-partially-signed-bitcoin-transaction-format?slide=10
Alice initiates a PSBT transaction and sends it to Bob. He then signs it and sends it to Carol who signs it and sends it to Bob who finnaly recevies the money from Alice. Alice initial transaction was supposed to be for Bob, but since he signed from Carol and then Carol for Bob, Bob is the one who receives the Bitcoins.

Instead of "Digital Asset Investor" this channel should be called "XRP Investor", all their videos are about XRP!
Well, I guess it's a good channel to follow for those who prefer to be informed through videos instead of reading.

Dear Stealth.Money,

Thanks for reminding me why we're stuck in a bear market where prices are always getting lower.
Please, for everyone's sake, do us a favor and lose your money as soon as possible along with others of your kind so that we can move on.
You're acting more like a kid-gamer who belongs to the COD fanbase... crying about why this gun that killed you in the game is overpowered... than the cryptocurrency world. You have listed no reason why you hate ARK, but I suppose it is because of the price drop. That proves your inability to understand how the markets work but even worse your inability to notice every coin is dropping in price.
Yes, by reading two of your posts I can tell that much about you, which is why I'm able to be profitable from investing and which is why I know you'll lose 100% of the money you're investing. So if you care about your money, listen to my advice and either quit this market or just hold whatever you've bought and come back in a year or two.

Bye!

I'm very late to answer you, sorry I had missed your question to me!

EVGA 1080ti FTW3 at 85% Power, +90 MHz clock, +200 MHz memory (memory is stable up to +550 MHz but it seems to have 0 effect on the hs anyway)
The hashrate fluctuates between 18 Mh/s  19 Mh/s, this is a more advanced kind of the x16r algo which uses 16 algos but instead of using 1 algo for every hash HEX combines many algos in one hash... it's a bit confusing for me how exactly it works but what I want to say is that the hashrate fluctuates because of different algos but not as much as in x16r.

An estimation of earnings can be found in WhatToMine and it's usually on the top5 coins, personally though I keep mining it because (A) I believe in the team after talking with them on the Discord and seeing how active they are, and (B) because 2% of the block rewards are going for good causes in their charity wallet. More about their charity actions under the name "XDNA Foundation" can be found here.

Interesting price move today... while BTC got manipulated by a whale again XRP recovered quickly. Ofcourse everything falls along with BTC but XRP has shown some good resilience.
Even if it's also immune to many hikes, it's more steady to the upside in comparison with BTC.

Μην περιμένετε άνοδο όσο ο περισσότερος κόσμος περιμένει άνοδο.
Όταν αρχίσετε να ακούτε σε ενημερωτικά site αλλά και τον ίδιο τον κόσμο στα forum αν λέει πως "έσκασε η φούσκα του Bitcoin" και "τελείωσαν τα crytpoνομίσματα, ήταν ενθουσιασμός και πέρασε" και "ο κόσμος έχει πουλήσει τα Bitcoin που αποδείχτηκαν αέρας" τότε μόνο θα ανέβουμε.

Μπορεί κάτι τέτοιο να ακούγετε παράλογο, αλλά έχει λογική. Οι λόγοι πίσω από αυτό το γεγονός είναι πολλοί και σύνθετοι, δεν θα ήθελα να πω πολλά και μόνο με τα παρακάτω 2 quotes που αναφέρω αισθάνομαι πως λέω ήδη πολλά. Ούτως ή άλλος αν πολλοί γνωρίζουν έναν τρόπο να βγάλουν λεφτά, στο τέλος δεν βγάζει κανείς τίποτα!

Ο τρόπος με τον οποίο ενεργώ εγώ είναι ο παρακάτω,



Και αν μετά από τα παραπάνω αισθάνεστε πιο έτοιμοι για κέρδη, μοιραστείτε κάνα μεριτ βρε αδέλφια! Τα έδωσα όλα τα δικά μου και στέρεψα ! lol

There were no news and whales wouldn't panic-sell, so it was obviously manipulation with a bit of panic maybe. It probably has to do with futures and stuff, I have a general idea of how the rich ones can get be winners by combining futures with actual bitcoin buying.

I think the steps are,
You buy futures
You buy BTC in the market with many $$$ driving the prices up
You sell your futures and then short some too, take some cash
You buy even more BTC from off-market trades, thus not driving the price up on yourself
You then dumb all your BTC in one go, droping the price like it did today/yesteday
Cash on your short position futures

You take some loss from the actual BTC trading, you gain a lot from the futures.
The solution to that is, DON'T TRADE FUTURES. You ain't gonna with these guys.
