Hey,

This guy again?

He did scam me before with a small value of ETH, therefore I did not report him.

Now see your report about him, sorry to know this and your friend's loss. I wished I did report him before and maybe your friend wont get scammed.

that guy is dangerous and a real scammer.

So the wannabe scammer got scammed?

Why did you friend install the script? Oh yea, cause he wanted to exploit a bug to get more MN rewards.

Guess there is something called karma afterall.

Good to see update coming, hope all issues are fixed.
Hey Tam, you link is not working anymore so could not read what you wanted to share.

Is there any other proof that this account belongs to that person "Telegram: @tkh23"?
I think they have the same username, but that account has been inactive for several months.

Is that script open source? Because it is strange to trust one ask you to run a script and send a certain amount to the address associated with that program.  "This makes the full amount paid/scammed $ 75 + 5001.3 DNR"

Sorry for your friend's loss.

really scam!

I don't understand what the scam is here.  You said he sent you a script, so what is it he didn't do or send you?  The chat log content doesn't clearly explain to me what went wrong.

Edit:  OK, I tagged him--not that it'll do much good overall, since the account can be replaced with a brand new one.  OP ought to tag him as well.

Forget this bullshit with telegram. There are most vietnamese, or people who post silly messages in spanish and so on....like vida pura, go to the moon and nonsense.

Here is the official pura community to inform, as it is more documented and easy to scroll back without pages of nonsence like in telegram.

Hopefully, this project will be hug success for sure!!!

Blockchain Basics 5 – Shared databases enhancing networks

When we think about blockchain, it is a place to keep, store, and exchange cryptocurrencies – but databases? The original purpose of blockchain was for digital currencies. Currently research is in progress all over the world on a great range of applications. For instance, blockchain become distributed databases. Like Google Docs, these databases enhance security and decentralization. Another asset is the distribution of digital information instead of copying it. This way, blockchain technology could actually become the back of a new type of internet.

“The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions, but virtually everything of value.” – Don and Alex Tapscott, authors of Blockchain Revolution.

An ingenious invention
The blockchain is a unique invention. Adaptions and applications via blockchain technology could serve us in many ways. For this purpose, let us look at some possibilities listed above, starting with blockchain as a distributed database.

Picture a spreadsheet multiplied thousands of times across a network of computers. In the tech industry, these computers are known as “nodes”. Nodes are an integral part of blockchain technology.  Now, imagine this network of nodes regularly updating the spreadsheet. This works like any other reconciled database. However, a distributed database has millions of nodes working simultaneously. There is no centralized version of the information. It is open to the public. Verification is easy. Information is encrypted. This makes hacking or corrupting the blockchain nearly impossible.

Before Google Docs, we sent Microsoft pages and spreadsheets back and forth. We sent emails, editing and updating along the way. However, synchronous changes were not possible. Then came Google Docs, a free web-based application. It allows for creating, editing and storing documents and spreadsheets online in real time. Documents are private or shared among friends and co-workers. Any authorized user with a full-featured web browser can access the document. The blockchain allows for similar application development for legal contracts and shared ledgers.

No significant disruption
Invented in 2008, the blockchain has operated without significant disruption. To be clear, problems to-date were often caused by human error. Other reasons were inside hacking or mismanagement. Consequently, flaws in the underlying concept were not among the reasons.

A network that is not controlled by any single entity and no single point of failure is revolutionary. Storing blocks of identical information across such a network is full of potential. Correspondingly, this concept brings and keeps everyone to a high degree of accountability.

A state of consensus
The blockchain network lives in a state of consensus. It automatically checks in with itself every ten minutes. At this point, this self-auditing ecosystem reconciles every transaction. It then embeds it into public blocks for purposes of transparency. In any case, corrupting or altering any unit of information on the blockchain would require enormous computing power.

Thus, all of the above brings us back to blockchain’s underlying cause for success – decentralization. Today, a global network of computers uses blockchain technology to jointly manage database recording transactions. Decentralization means the network operates on a user-to-user, or peer-to-peer, basis. This structure runs on management by the network, and not by any one central authority.

The shared economy
All things considered, how blockchain technology may serve us in the future is just the tip of the iceberg. Blockchain creates a type of shared economy by enabling peer-to-peer payments. It opens the door to direct interaction between parties for supply chains or file storage. Crowdfunding, smart contracts, and even governance are other possible applications. This form of networks in mass collaboration will most certainly turn into a vital assets in various developments across a wide range of industries.

Another big leg up for btcp coming soon! The herd is coming!

SHND now available on CoinDeal! Worth checking out

These are the new rules.
I have decided to keep our Jr. Members although they're now not allowed to have links in their signatures.
They'll receive decreased payments, but they're welcome to stay if they want to  

These are the changes that were introduced:

Our ANN post in no longer mandatory to receive payment.
There will be a bonus if you make it.
There is also a bonus for making at least 5 posts in the altcoin section.
Jr.Member/Member/Full Member/Senior Member/Hero Member/Legendary
ANN post - 0.1/0.2/0.5/1/2/3
5 posts in the altcoin section - 0.3/1/2/3/4/5

You will need to make at least 5 posts in order to receive your Weekly reward.
New payment structure:

You will no longer get 0.001 DNR * your total post count, instead you'll get 0.0002 DNR * your total post count and 0.002 DNR for each Merit you have on your account
You will also get 0.01 DNR for each Merit you got since last payment or since you joined the campaign.

Each post in the Off-Topic section counts as half.
So if you make 20 posts in the Off-Topic section, I will count them as 10, and pay accordingly.

Per post payments have been decreased for Jr. Members but remain the same for everyone else

If nothing explodes on the testnet chain in the next 24 hours I am releasing Denarius v2.0.0 to everyone!

Run the following commands in order on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04/16.04 Server, 17.10 works but may need some small changes

To compile/run the graphical Denarius wallet (QT) on Ubuntu:

Update Ubuntu

Install required deps

Clone the repo

CD into the cloned repo

Now build your makefiles

(USE_LEVELDB Flag is only required on v1.0.7.0, it will no longer be required on future releases)

Now compile

(-j8 (8 is the number of cores of your processor to compile on, this speeds up the compilation process)

To run and start Denarius after compiling, run

To run Denarius in headless daemon mode (denariusd), use this guide to compile on Ubuntu or VPSs:


Install required deps

Clone the repo

CD into the cloned repo

CD into the /src folder

Now compile

(-j8 (8 is the number of cores of your processor to compile on, this speeds up the compilation process)

To run and start denariusd after compiling, run

There is a good chance that even the developer can't do anything about it. Often times they just don't respond and then manipulate the price because nobody can move coins off or on exchange.

You can store DNR in the Coinomi Wallet as they support DNR and our main QT wallet.

On the back of the Cold Storage Cards there is a security scratch sticker that you scratch off when you are ready to redeem the DNR you put on the card, after you scratch off the back you will reveal the private key that is attached to the public address on the front, you can then either scan the QR code of the private key with Coinomi or import the actual key into your QT wallet through the (Help -> Debug Window -> Console) and by typing in "importprivkey <yourprivatekey>"

Once you import the private key, you will then have access to the DNR stored on that public address or cold storage card. You can then send the DNR from your Coinomi wallet or QT wallet whichever you used to an exchange or anywhere else you deem fit.

We do not support myetherwallet as that is for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain and is unrelated to our bitcoin style blockchain structuring.

You can get Coinomi here: https://coinomi.com/

You can get the latest QT Wallet here: https://github.com/carsenk/denarius/releases (v1.0.7.0 is our latest, but we are currently working on v2.0.0.0 which is expected to release in the coming weeks)
