jl777 has finally decided to get a divorce from NXT. This might be a great opportunity for Qora. Can the dev team reach out to jl777 and work with him on his asset passport idea?
...

This guy is the king of vaporware and bullshit assets associated with such. I hope he stays far away from Qora.

And may I ask what projects you have coded/released.........I'm reluctant to be critical of those who do what I cannot.

Cheers Jon  Wink

He hasn't actually released anything afaik except a shitty GUI for the NXT dex. I've actually made several shitty GUIs myself:
https://github.com/jwinterm/lightWallet
https://github.com/jwinterm/kivy-cpuminer
https://github.com/jwinterm/LightWallet2

His main thing is making clone coins and NXT assets, promising some revolutionary tech to hype it, then never delivering. Don't sell yourself short, you can be a scam artist too Wink

Monero.




Because?

...  Lisk ...


Why does Lisk not have a CoinMarketCap page?

Monero because it is the best privacy oriented coin with the fairest launch that still has a lot of features in the works, such as i2p integration, pruning, confidential ring signature txs, and more.

Lisk is a fork of Crypti that is about to launch an ICO. It's pretty scammy IMO, Crypti had an ICO, now same devs are forking it and running another ICO, wtf?

What was the hashfast fiasco about anyway?

Preorder asics that were never delivered. Cypherdoc has been accused of receiving 3000 btc to shill for them on btctalk to get people to make orders. iCEBREAKER has also been accused of being paid to shill or being in some way affiliated with the company, but I haven't seen as direct and specific accusation as has been levied against cypherdoc.

This community is so "polluted" ...

iCEBRAKER was a former CEO of Hashfast, criminal ASIC scammer with a lawsuit in progress.
No wonder he's all-in in Monero, he had to 'wash' his stolen bitcoins...

It's kind of interesting that iCEBREAKER was apparently mixed up in this scam ( http://www.deanslyons.com/PDFs/2014-03-25-Plaintiff-s-First-Amended-Petition.pdf ; interesting aside - who'd have thought you'd see bitcointalk screenshots in court proceedings) with cypherdoc, and subsequently they each ended up on opposite sides of the big block/small block bitcoin debate. Since they were both allegedly paid shills for hashfast, maybe blockstream is now paying iCEBREAKER for shilling and coinbase is paying cypherdoc to shill blocksize arguments. Who knows, maybe fluffypony is paying iCEBREAKER for shilling Monero Tongue

Someone, please upload current blockchain to google driver or mega, it really takes forever to sync!
Just zip this folder "c:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Cryptonite\blocks".

Cryptochainer.com alreadi did that: https://mega.nz/#!nxBjQbrK!PUroY1aeERBcN3JyEn_NIi23SND1kwE8gduOd9PPscw

Unfortunately, I was unable to use it with latest wallet in Windows7. Wallet crashes during loading, I tried it in different configurations (remove all data before unpacking archive, overwrite existing files etc). Perhaps it is an incomplete blockchain, "blocks" folder is only 130MB, my current "blocks" folder is about 700MB and I still have to sync 200K blocks more.

Try not using the gui/qt and just launch daemon. The gui is super flaky on Windows ime.

My wallet syncs fine using latest version, and I think we might get on Cryptopia shortly (not that I'm a huge fan of Cryptopia, but they do some volume).

Will Huntercoin be available on mobile?
Eventually. Gotta finish Huntercore, first. Then it'll be time to work on mobile/browser clients. I think snailbrain is more into mobile app than browser, because it can be more trustless, not holding people's private keys.

Sounds cool, but I remember HUC had damn big blockchain and required a lot of space to run the game (although I played when it was just starting), how it can be possible on mobile?

I think with an spv type wallet like electrum or mycelium,

Apparently X11 ASICs are coming:

http://cryptomining-blog.com/7117-the-first-x11-mining-asic-ibelink-dm384m-asic-dash-miner/

What does that mean for Myriad?

At this point, I would say a whole lot of nothing, since Myriad doesn't use X11.

We will be using Smooth's Monero Speculation rules for thread moderation.

Umm, pretty sure you can't use Smooth's moderation rules if you don't make a self-moderated thread.

I see. Thanks for replies, I was under the impression it was like just leave wallet unlocked and in staking mode and it will do its thing. Clearly I need to do some more research...

I have a few questions regarding staking, not being too familiar with PoS coins in general.

1 - I have my airdrop and a few coins mined, so let's say 300, how can I tell how long it will take me to get a stake reward?

2 - Do you get same reward as PoW blocks for PoS blocks: 18.7 coins or so?

3 - Is there a block explorer or someway to easily check how many blocks devs address(es) have staked versus airdrop people? I'm just curious if devs are like 99.9% of stake reward or closer to 50%.

Thanks!

Is this official? https://getmonero.org/getting-started/choose

scroll to bottom.

I get a red No Daemon connection message. Guess it's not working.

Two of the links on the bottom of that page are out of date. I just checked and it seems to be working fine:

but those links point to the executable and source for the old python version (which uses a default node that is now defunct). The new java version uses Atrides' node by default and should connect without issue on startup. Links to binary and source:

Ok screw it. Guess I'll just install the wallet on my other 64-bit machine but not happy about it.

Does the wallet download the whole blockchain?



Yes, you need to start bitmonerod (the daemon) to sync the blockchain. After that you can open simplewallet (make sure bitmonerod is still running) to transact.

So isn't there some light wallet like Electrum Monero that doesn't download the whole chain? Dash has two types of wallets, one that downloads the whole chain and another Electrum light wallet. The light wallet is perfect for storage.
Traditional light wallets just try to alleviate RAM usage which is naturally taken care of by dumping the blockchain data to the hard drive. A recent monero change. If I understand it correctly.

Monero did recentl make an official release that moved the db from ram to hd, but there is a way to run a much "lighter" wallet with Monero: because the daemon and wallet are separate you can launch simplewallet using a remote node. Atrides runs a publicly available node that a gui I wrote for simplewallet (imaginatively titled lightwallet) uses by default. You do sacrifice some privacy this way, but you don't need the daemon or blockchain at all.
