I wouldn't mind taking a look at some example code. I've tried to write a simple ping-pong trading script before but never had any luck getting the API responses to work correctly.

Hey, anyone still actively developing (or doing anything at all) with this coin? I just saw it today and it seemed interesting, but it looks like this has been dead for quite some time...

Yeah, but its more just a flaw in your logic. here's an example, say I sell 20m tips on one rise, buy back another 30m on a dump, sell that 30m off on a rise and then buy back 50m on another drop (cause im just such an awesome trader like that  ). Anyway, that would be 130m TIPS worth of volume, but in this instance that volume only reflects an exchange of 30m TIPS (20m -> 50m).  So the reality is that the volume traded is only a very small indication of the 'absolute magnitude' of TIPS that have been sold from one person to another. Also, my example was based on big, somewhat unrealistic profits. If you were to run through that example again with more realistic numbers, you could see that on less of a spread, the amount of TIPS actually being redistributed is a much smaller percentage.

Nice!!! Pumped to see this is up and running. Perfect timing too, you guys must have been hauling ass to get it out 

Can't wait to test it - I have some big plans for a site that's going to use it once you guys have it fully rolled out. Looking forward to any updates.

Thanks again for all the hard work!!!

Wow, yes that was a fantastic explanation. Exactly what I was looking for - I can take a look at what the aroon outputs are (now that I know how the method works) and try to better range the entry and exit conditions. Thanks for your reply - I'll see what I can do with this info and post back if I have any success.

Well the net hashrate for Fedora is ridiculous right now. Still over 1 Ghash and I know it was over 2 not that long ago. All new miners jumping on board - actual hashrate for the past week or so was ~200 Mhash. Honestly, this is the first time in over a week I'm mining a coin other than fedora. Once the bandwagon mining ends and I see the hashrate drop back down to a reasonable number, I'll switch back. But for now its getting plagued by all these multipool miners since its the new hot coin.

Also, the block explorer definitely does work... But you're right that it's not working right now. I think it's probably because of all the traffic.

Current diff is 21.98 - I believe it had been averaging around 6.5 over the past week or two

@buddynuno - I agree - network hashrate was at like 150 Mhash for so long and the literally over night now there's 1+Ghash mining Fedoracoin. Nothing we can really do about it besides wait until they find another 'coin-of-the-day' and all the bandwagon miners move on and those of us that have been steady mining Fedoracoin all along will see our shares go back up.

@ifightformerkel - I understand that they're different, but there's some amount of predictability to altcoins based on their algo parameters. Looking at the chart, I'm pretty sure mooncoin is going to experience a huge correction at some point too. Honestly, I don't follow mooncoin too closely so I can't say I know that much about it, but I feel alot better holding my TIPS than picking up any MOON right now. I guess the price is still going up now so I'm imagining that when it does get a correction (and it will) it's going to be higher than my inital predictions. So buying back @ around high 30s may not have been a terrible idea, but only time will tell.

Okay so I may be wrong, but I still think we have a slight correction incoming and I'm going to even take that one step further and make the bolder claim that Fedora won't hit it's peak value for over a month. Take a look at the coinmarketcap comparison between fedora and doge:



I feel like the market should mimick doge (although I may be completely wrong) - which would mean that if the price keeps moving up, it's going to come back down hard... I definitely support Fedora, I just don't necessarily want to put in any buy support at an unreasonably high price and get burned on a huge selloff. Lets see what happens...

@dotnetmin - Thank you, I was typing that a little fast and forgot to leave out the quotations, I appreciate the correction

I'm just a little nervous that the price is going up too fast. Personally, I think fedora is worth a lot more than even 50 latoshi, but not after trading at 2 literally like two days ago. I want to buy more and support the rise, but I'd rather wait until the market settles a little and I see what price it corrects too. I may be missing an opportunity, but I think its gonna be a wild ride for the next few days as everyone rushes to fedora. I think we're been lucky so far that no one has really dumped on the market, but if the price gets too high to fast, its only a matter of time...

Anyway, for anyone just getting in I still think its a great value and its only going up - I'd just recommend waiting for the first actual reaction to get a better feel for what the actual value should be right now

Hmm, you definitely don't need to have a config file - that's just for mining. Here, I just looked at some of my peers, maybe if you can add them you can connect. Try:

addnode="176.115.5.213:22889" add
addnode="130.255.133.202:22889" add
addnode="217.123.22.49:22889" add
addnode="76.72.4.40:22889" add
addnode="69.22.235.92:22889" add
addnode="50.202.110.30:22889" add
addnode="68.5.34.219:22889" add
addnode="2.236.53.94:22889" add

If you don't know how, just click help -> debug; click the console tab; and copy/paste those lines. If it works, you should see a connection in a minute or two.

Start by deleting everything wherever you saved the client. Next go to "%appdata%/Roaming/"
and delete the "Fedoracoin" folder. Then try re-downloading the newest client from this thread and see if it syncs

-BTW, I'm assuming you don't have any coins in the wallet - if you do, MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!!. You can always reload the wallet after you get the client synced.

I'm a little worried we might be moving too fast here, but screw it - I've been waiting too long for this. Fedoracoin has liftoff!!!

EJnLwYo4PMSnYZKWiKSSsJBNrnNoQHJTRx - Thank you! Fedoracoin @ 18!!!

So I started toying with strategies again and while I wasn't able to actually turn a profit using the preset Aroon strategy, I did see some positive results when I applied it to intervals of a few days.
It  seemed to do a very good job of detecting entry and exit points (in backtesting); I think that the only reason it wasn't profitable was because of the binary trade execution (i.e. sell 100% once signal is determined and vice versa). I'd like to use the code as a starting point and try to add a basic algorithm to make incremental buys and sells rather than all or nothing. I'm pretty sure that by just adding a set of a few simplistic rules you could turn the algo profitable.

The one thing that I'm a little confused on is the MathUtil.Aroon method. First, in the code I see three parameters: high, low, 22 - what is the 22 for? Also I'm not sure exactly how the overarching code uses the call to this method to make trades. From the code, it seems like you're just getting the aroon.up and aroon.down, finding the difference and then calling a buy or sell method depending on whether the result is positive or negative.

I have to imagine that's pretty close to what's happening, but I know I'm missing something. For instance, if that was the case then a trade would be initiated at every interval except for the case where aroon.up = aroon.down, which I would think would be fairly uncommon. But the strategy is obviously not making trades at every interval so I know that there has to be more to it than that. Maybe you could help point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Well it's been a great few days for Fedoracoin with yesterday marking the first solid rise in the market since it's initial launch so congratulations to all those who've been putting so much time into this coin!!!

With that being said, I see all the ideas floating around on this thread for new sites and services (which is great!!!), but I've been trying to get some people together to start re-working the fedoracoin-qt client to not only clean up some of the orignal code, but to also add updates included in newer releases of the qt-client. I also have some ideas that I think may be feasible to try to make a unique wallet that several other coins have done successfully (and of course including the winner of the logo contest).

Anyway, since this thread seem to be great general discussion on fedoracoin - where do you think I should start another thread to try to get a discussion going on this particular topic? I think the timing is perfect to release a revamped wallet alongside the new site and services like w/fedoracoin being launched. Before I open a seperate thread in this forum, I wanted to know if a) there's already a discussion for fedoracoin development and b) is there a better place to try to gather potential devs (like reddit)?

Thanks all!

Thanks for the response, I'll send you a message once I've actually spent the time working with the code. With the Nerual Network model - I don't think that there's much significance in using the traditional approach of training the model with common inputs like EMA, Volume, Price, etc. (well to a certain extent, these things obviously play a role and need to be accounted for somewhere in the model). My thought, which I admit I haven't spent the time to experiment with yet, is that maybe its possible to get better results by training a model based on the parameters of the coin and the market(s) it's being traded in.

More specifically, I think that to a certain extent a lot of the coins being released now have similar features to the original coins (since most of them were basically just copies anyway with a few modified parameters, i.e. any coingen coin) so theoretically the market on a macro level should to some extent mirror the markets of those previous coins. If you assume this to be true you could try to develop a NN based off of these training parameters to get a general model and then add inputs like EMA, Price, & Volume to hopefully get a reasonably predictive time-series model.

My reasoning is that the fundamental problem with neural networks are that they're very dependent on the dataset used to train the model, so they end up being highly dependent on the time interval you use to train your model, which means that while you can sometimes get it to fit to a specific case, the model is going to fall apart when anything rapidly changes, and with this market that's always. By doing the way I'm proposing, (theoretically) you're generalized model is more robust as it's not time-dependent and then you would likely have to derive several specific-models based on time-dependent market data.

Whew, well that was a mouthful - I know it's a lot of theory right now, but hopefully in the next week or two I can take a rough pass at trying to build a model and see if there's any promise here. Before I get started with that though, I'd like to spend more time playing with some of the existing strategies you developed. Admittedly, they do not perform well at the moment, but I understand how much work must have went in to just getting them working (along with everything else) so hopefully I can work on tweaking some of them until they at least start to perform more consistently and then work from there.

It seems like that's been the story with everything... Don't understand how you could spend all the time working on developing a coin and then when the community starts to pick up, you disappear off the face of the earth?? Then again, now that I put it like that I guess I can think of one recent case where this happened and things seemed to work out pretty well in the end 

But in all honesty, you may just want to start a new facebook page to compliment the site, I wouldn't count on waiting for a response from the owner and it's probably something you want to have updated to go along with the release of the new site. Best bet is to just create one that's the 'new' Fedoracoin FB; I'm sure most people who find it already probably realize what's going on.
