That the dance of the files takes place at the GBX wallet?

in any normal POS wallet I had not met such things.
It threatens the strong wear the hard drive, if the wallet to be run mining in 24 hours.

This just arrived! Much quicker than I had expected. Thank you Finite by Design! Very cool, and thank you so much for the T aswell.

I've been hankering after one of these for a long time now (also the crypto T-shirt) so great excuse to finally get one.

More news to come soon...

Hello all,
We are in early discussion, but it appears we may have found our guy to assist us with entry to China, translation services, etc. More to come soon on this soon. In the interim, we would like to get the community to start pushing to get CBX added to Bter. CBX is listed on their voting page (currently as our old name CGB - Cryptogenic Bullion) so we have a head start already. I have requested Bter to update their info in accordance with rebranding.

Thank you in advance.

I've requested a withdrawal of 20 CBX, Killiz. Will post back once there's some movement. I noticed earlier that Cryptsy had frozen trades globally for maintenance, so they may be doing some work that's holding things up.

Still pending since my last post. Maybe I should of requested in smaller amounts I dunno.
Sent them a support message this morning, got the usual automated shrug of a response from cryptsy. Will follow it up when I finish work in a couple of hours.

Maybe someone could try a small withdrawal to see how that goes.

Good news regarding Cryptsy...

Seems the wallet issue has been identified and resolved.

A few keys from frozen malicious accounts were causing the errors on their end so they have been removed.

Should be good going forward. Thank you all for your patience.

CBX fallen back into maintenance again on Cryptsy, withdraw disabled

I'm only making an assumption here but I believe reason its happened might be because of the dust inputs from a long period of staking and splits, that result in tx being to large and causing the wallet to fail when a large CBX withdrawal attempts to utilize too many of the dust inputs meet the requested amount.  

FYI - CBX wallet resync complete over at Cryptsy.

 

Hi Raizor, yes I would like that - any room for a light weight chart/graph with this info? - with target banding so you can see if you are staking at the optimum rate - might encourage people to keep their wallets staking 24/7

Interesting ideas

With part of the funding going towards maintaining the market price, this could be done on exchanges other than Cryptsy...

Seriously though, Jenna is getting a bit long in the tooth even for an old timer like myself, I think Tori Black or Emma Mae might better appeal to the target demographic.

Evening all.
Good to see some serious discussion going on around here again. Elambert, Raizor, BTCat. Thanks for deciphering and contemplating my previous posts and throwing us some bone to chew on again, much appreciated I think it is, and will, prove to be a good move.

Quite a lot to read through since I was last here so picked out a couple of things I've skimmed from the surface.

First up, Funding

I think funding is definately a priority for the community to address. Some may disagree as to why they should fund something that has given them little to no return to recent date on monies invested. I argue that why a development team should spend time on something that gives them no financial support on time invested, and this is what we should be also investing in. We are honoured to have a team that sticks by their beliefs and visions for CBX, and have not deserted this coin long ago as a lost cause. So I've come up with a simple donation plan proposal.

In the past the CBX team have accepted donations solely in CBX. This is great as long as there is steadily increasing or stable and liquid value, as is sadly no longer the case at the moment.
I think the dev team should ask to accept donations in bitcoin and maybe more liquid crypto-currencies.
As an incentive to donate I recommend that any donations are to be split as follows, or something similar.

70% of the donation goes to the dev team.

20% goes on placing a support buy order on cryptsy at current level, 1 'CBXoshi'   above the first and not moved to create buy support. Any CBX accumulated to be stored for the same reasons as stated below.

10% to be used to buy directly into sell orders. Any CBX accumulated to be stored for giveaways, contests or even a quarterly draw to win the accumulated pot of CBX.

Splitting donations up like this will support the team, price levels and buy support, giveaways and raffles.

I can give a little in BTC when paid at the end of every month. If more could do the same this could add up to make a hugely significant difference.

Jenna Jameson Dolls

I think the CBX core teams primary focus should be on the mass production and sale of Jenna Jameson Dolls for CBXXX.

Marketplace

Awesome idea. This could start right here, right now.
Do you want more CBX? Do you have an item or service you want to exchange for CBX? Post a description, picture and asking price. Let's get the marketplace rolling!

Currency or Commodity?

Commodity!

Blockchain bloat

I believe raising block times up to 10 mins between blocks would not be a problem whatsoever for CBX. Transactions are instant, and with a highly secure hybrid crypto like CBX, confirmation times are non important in theory. Raising the POW reward up to 10x accordingly would maybe attract more miners, even though inflation wouldn't be damaged, a higher reward always looks juicier.( What a strange word juicier is to look at don't u think, made me pull a face and think what the hell is that I've just wrote. Juicier, joooocier).

All other technical stuff I will leave for more qualified people to comment on.

Oh and I want to say a few words to those that only come here to read. I'm talking to you Mr and Mrs I've got nothing to say and no idea how to say it even if I did. Hello, how are you?   One week ago we had 9486 thread views, we now have 10198. The number of visitors against the number of posts doesn't add up. Please spend a minute or two to voice your opinions and say hello, your support is greatly needed!


Killiz

regarding the blockchain bloat and PoS enhancement, i think this can be partially addressed by the use of minimum inputs amount (eg 50 CGB) that can stake to prevent fractional and dust amounts staking.  also and prevent splitting of inputs below a certain amount eg 100 CGB, reduce further bloat of blockchain and users own wallet.dat with the dust amounts staking in always on wallet. Maybe also making changes to increase the block time would help as well, i was looking at the blockchain explorer at random 10 minute period and found that at least 10 blocks are mined, so any efforts to increase the time between blocks would definitely help towards reducing bloat.

If looking into research for PoS, i would recommend using Blackcoin as model, almost all of the new PoS coins in the past year including those mentioned above have drawn from BLK for their PoS features

I've only used a handful of wallets before, but I like the recent DGC one. It has the block explorer and price chart as mentioned, and also an irc portal to the DGC channel. I don't go on there much but when I do it is easier to fire up the client than it is for me to search out a web link to take me there. Even if not as a community gathering place, a similar setup might be useful for support and troubleshooting problems.

I think that must have been it BTCat (cryptex), I had an idea that it was something you had mentioned before.

The site where there was a faucet within the exchange was probably cryptex.biz, but they went out of business.

We can ask the Cryptopia guys if they want to implement something like this. They seem to be in for a lot of things.

Thanks for all the posts, good work.


About anonymity personally I don't really care about such feature, it has been a big hype for new coins to set that as goal.
If you're not doing anything illegal then probably no one will ever care about your transaction and it's already very hard to backtrace.

I saw one wallet had some nice features like price chart or info on the blockchain etc. A blockexplorer within the wallet would sure be nice.

Great stuff!

I thoroughly approve of the updates. I know they do sometimes seem to fall on deaf ears, but they provide a necessary focal point for the community. It helps settle the nerves also after a drop in price (to know that good work is going on behind the scenes). As has been pointed out though, you do all have other obligations so progress can take some time... It might be better to make the updates fortnightly for that reason. Just a suggestion as it would be a shame if you felt pressured to come up with new positive things after a week of setbacks or something.

I'm firmly in the "don't know how or don't feel they have the skills" camp. I'm very happy to support giveaways and competitions though, as I think that they really help from a marketing perspective.

I got given some coins once in a giveaway. It wasn't a coin I knew much about, but it inspired me to research it more and within a couple of months I'd bought a significant (top10) stake in it.

I remember seeing some sort of giveaway thing on a new exchange a while back, where you could just set it up and people can claim free coins every couple of hours or something. Anyone remember that? It might be gone as I had a look for it just now and couldn't figure out where I'd seen it.
