1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: CoinMarketCap.com - Market Cap Rankings of All Cryptocurrencies! on: August 07, 2015, 08:37:36 PM
The total balance in the genesis block is 72009990 Ether.

My bad...you're right! Forgot about the dev ether purchases etc.

Gliss, could you correct this? It's my mistake:

So that would be (at this moment) 72,009,990 + (5 * 48945) = 72,254,715

Also could you change the name to Ether instead of Ethereum...I was just really screwing things up this morning when I submitted the form!!

Looks good! It's indeed 5 Ether per block and average block time 15 seconds.

Hi!

Please add Ethereum, ETH/XBT started trading on Kraken: https://www.kraken.com/charts

Thanks! <3 coinmarketcap
4  Economy / Economics / Interesting report about Bitcoin intrinsic value on: December 02, 2013, 11:40:51 PM
What do you make of this?

http://www.scribd.com/doc/188644617/Bitcoin-Intrinsic-Value-Wedbush-Report-December-2013

One thing I noted is they exclude e.g. regular money supply in non-high inflation countries.

There are in fact many more "key demands" whose market cap / total value could be potential for bitcoin penetration.

Still, quite a interesting report.

I'd still like to be able to exchange USD to YAC directly.  It's silly depositing money in dwolla, waiting 3-4 days for it to clear, sending money to an exchange, buying bitcoins, waiting for it to confirm, sending to another exchange, and then finally converting BTC to YAC.  It would be a huge time saver being able to buy directly.  Not to mention it would probably greatly help the economy of YAC - the value would begin to be based on a direct currency exchange rather then on the current bitcoin price.

If anyone can formulate a basic plan behind this, I could approach some companies to see what the associated fees would be and its general viability to operate.

Ps nice little rise in yac at the minute Smiley

It's up at 24th place on coinmarketcap, just passed QuarkCoin.

It's a pretty interesting coin from the technical parameters.

Also quite nice for CPU mining; it's the coin I'm mining on my CPU atm.

Will be nice to see more Yacoin community activity in the next months.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [CGB] Cryptogenic Bullion's MADEsparq Project: Made Alignment Data Exploration on: November 17, 2013, 08:51:09 AM
This paper introduces a new paradigm for utilizing the hash string outputs (ie. the nonce values) from the proof-of-work or proof-of-stake scheme of the virtual commodity, Cryptogenic Bullion (CB).  This new paradigm, named the MADEsparq Project, aims to blur the defining lines between currency, technology, and data by using the CB block chain to mediate the mapping of data to create, and add value, to content and unstructured and semi-structured data.  Over time, as more data is mapped onto the CB block chain from a vast spectrum of subjects and interests, chance occurrences for discovering valuable mathematical, structural, functional, or social relationships from the overlap and intersection of data mappings increase.  Therefore, since the data mappings onto the CB block chain can overlap from separate knowledge-domains, there is the potential for new insights and discoveries from the collaboration of participants in the MADEsparq Project, whose specialties lie in vastly different subject matters, that might not have been possible before.  Thus, the intrinsic value of the virtual commodity (ie. CB's hash chain) mediating the data mappings should increase over time.

This is a very exciting and fascinating idea!
I registered on bitcointalk solely due to this post Smiley Been a lurker here for awhile and I was already very interested in CB before reading this.

I have one question which I couldn't quite understand from the whitepaper:

What is the, on the technical level, the connection between the MADEsparq mappings and the output hash values? Is the hash output generated as a hash over some MADEsparq users mapping, or do they create a mapping from the original hash after it was generated in a normal tx? Is the hash string outputs a hash  of the combination of the tx/output data and the MADEsparq mappings?

Or if you pay someone with BTC and never receive your product. (the transanction is irreversible) so is the buyer just screwed.

I view this as a feature actually - because it simplifies the protocol and creates a opportunity for e.g. two types of service on top of the bitcoin protocol (which already exist today for fiat currency txs anyway):

1. Sites tracking trust/reputation for merchants (so you can choose to only buy from merchants with good trust/reputation).
2. Bootstrapping a new merchant by covering e.g. undelivered products by refunding customers until the merchant has reached some level of reputation.

There will still be many customers happy to pay e.g. 2% txs fee to some payment service company so they can get refunds on top of bitcoin txs. And if you don't want a refund possibility you can simply use the protocol directly through a bitcoin wallet to pay directly to save the tx fee.
