Looking at the locked thread. Another Vert made by one of the original Vert devs?

Vert already has private transaction capabilities. Why not expand on that instead of new coin?

Would be nice for Poramin to at least confirm that this is (or is not) his project, with his account here or at reddit or something.

New project from Vertcoin lead dev - ZeroVert:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=846471.new#new
new dev lead?
any evidence for that?

Not at all. Would be nice to hear Poramin confirm it either is or is not his project.

Just to be clear are we saying this is going live with zk on 5th?

Yes, we will release the coin with ZK on 5th.

So that's a "no" on the source code being released tomorrow then?
3445  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ZeroVert - First Zerocoin Implementation | New gold standard for privacy on: November 05, 2014, 12:36:21 AM
Source will be released tomorrow as well?

Can`t compile?

Any ideas???

I had a different error at first, so I had to make clean, then autogen --> configure --> make. Not sure if you're just doing git pull --> make.

The only other thing I can think of is maybe not enough memory. I got an error when I tried to compile with 1 GB of RAM, and so I set up a 2 GB swap file and then it worked.

I made some changes to /r/boolberry at http://www.reddit.com/r/boolberry/ to try and prettify it a little bit. Please come stop by and let me know what you think if you have a minute.

i would choose the dark blue banner with white logo and font or the white one with "bbr blue" on top (100% width, no gradient).
for article headings i would use the color from the banner (dark blue or light blue) , but maybe bitcrea has some ideas since he is doing currently the gui design.

regards

Thanks for suggestions. I kinda like the gradient banner, but I agree the colors could use a little tweaking. I'll wait and see if/what anyone else has to say...

who was running
http://monerochain.info/

how can we get this up and running again? I want to see a dedicated block explorer.

Does this work?

http://chainradar.com/xmr/blocks

Chainradar and Minergate both work, but I think he meant a block explorer exclusively for monero, that has monero in the domain name, I guess.

Sell orders Total: 284955 MON -- very good;)

that's 250 btc ... For some people this BTC is pocket money for the day  Grin

BUT

I have't indicated the total amount of Buy Orders in prev post, he is 202547 MON in All buy orders  Wink

Sell orders really jumped up sometime recently. There was more like 60-100k for the last couple months I think.

HUGE news on the Via/Clearinghouse front:

ePeso is in testnet, in an attempt to become the official e-currency of the Philippines!

Zynga has wisely abandoned crappy Counterpary and is building their Poker on VIA/XCH instead.  They are also considering following Overstock's move to issue shares on that blockchain.

What's viacoin/clearinghouse? Give me the short rundown if you want to.

Clearinghouse is a Counterparty clone, code divorced from Bitcoin and married to an altcoin (VIA). If Zynga really adopts them all VIA/XCH bag-holders are going to the moon.

Why the hell would they use that?

I can't find any statement by Zynga or anyone who works there that they are actually planning to use it. Someone have a link?

Yes i made a mistake. But I am surprised that everybody is on that one pool.

I keep getting disconnects from that pool and would switch but no other decent pool out there.
Not really true.  I have have using bbr.poolto.be the past week with good results, in doing my small part to divert some hashes from cncoin.

Also mining at bbr.poolto.be for the last month or so, with no problems except occasional minor payout delays when simplewallet decides to fubar, but PCFil is usually responsive in #boolberry on freenode if you bug him to restart simplewallet.

"So yes, many people become very quiet when they're faced with the realistic possibility that they're going to have to defend against a libel claim even if what they said is true. Because it's all very well to defend, but if it costs $10,000 to defend a true comment, well you're out $10,000. How much is it worth?"

Source: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/libel-chill-quashing-negative-online-090000416.html

It comes down to how much are you willing to pay to prove you are right. If a big dawg comes after you its going to cost one way or the other.  You have to lawyer up or risk having a hefty judgement ruled against you.

There's a difference between posting a review of a business on yelp or google reviews or something, which is what the link you posted was regarding, and speculating on a forum that is awash with rumor and speculation.

See these excerpts from an EFF overview page ( https://www.eff.org/issues/bloggers/legal/liability/defamation ) regarding online libel:

Quote
...courts have said that statements made in the context of an Internet bulletin board or chat room are highly likely to be opinions or hyperbole...

also:

Quote
Is there a difference between reporting on public and private figures?

Yes. A private figure claiming defamation—your neighbor, your roommate, the guy who walks his dog by your favorite coffee shop—only has to prove you acted negligently, which is to say that a "reasonable person" would not have published the defamatory statement.

A public figure must show "actual malice"—that you published with either knowledge of falsity or in reckless disregard for the truth. This is a difficult standard for a plaintiff to meet.

Metcalfe is clearly a public figure, and so he would have to meet the very high standard that there was "actual malice". Considering the amount of rumor and innuendo and (possibly doctored) evidence that floats around here, and is the basis for Spoetnik's and other people's speculation and accusations of scam, I seriously doubt there is any chance he would be able to launch a successful case. There's really no need to lawyer up if a judge throws the case out as soon as the plaintiff makes the accusation.

Just checked out the webpage, and I see you guys are based in Lebanon, so I guess the United States Securities and Exchanges Commission would not have jurisdiction. It seems like the only asset backing the coins is the company, though, and your promises to payout some cash/btc every month, which when you guys control all of the coins in the beginnning, seems just like a stock with splits that pays dividends, right?

Just looked here: http://www.legalink.ch/Root/Sites/legalink/Resources/Questionnaires/IPOs/Middle-East/Legalink_IPO_Lebanon.pdf
And I guess you guys probably don't have enough capital to qualify for listing on the Beirut stock exchange, as it seems to require at least 1M USD worth of Lebanese pounds. So, I guess if the choice is to issue OTC stock or PoS coin, maybe crypto is the way to go. No way I'd touch this, but good luck...

Is it just me or is asset-backed crypto asinine? If you want assets, why not buy Au, Ag, Pt, etc.? If you want crypto, why not buy btc, ltc, doge, xmr, drk, etc.? What's the appeal of buying some brand new shit coin that is supposedly backed by some anonymous dev with a metric ton of urine?

Why gold, silver and plat? They are controlled prices by government, just like fiat. Wasn't that one of the nicer points of crypto?

Doge? LTC? What do they really bring? Litecoin was a clone of Bitcoin, nothing more. Same with Doge. Neither have brought anything to the table. DRK and XMR: New technologies, but where are they for the market? Their price is tied to Bitcoin, nothing more.

As for an anonymous dev. We are a fully registered company, with our company details available on the website, as well as real life names from each person behind it. We are not here to produce some coin with "ooh look, an anonymous feature". We are not here to use a whitepaper to pump and dump a coin. This is a real time investment backed by real assets.

I'm not sure if you read or are just here to troll. Regardless, thank you for the free bump.

You didn't answer the question. If assets have their prices controlled by fiat, and cryptos are all tied to bitcoin, then that still leaves the question: why buy asset-backed crypto?

Fair enough on that. Here's a question for you: Why invest into any crypto besides Bitcoin? None of them are special. They hype features to push price so people can pump. ICOs for other coins (I.E. Arch, Cannabis, ETC) are backed by promises and nothing more. We are a company backing this with our names and funds. Personal details and company details are out there. What is safer: Investing into something like Dogecoin and hoping the price either stays or moves upwards, or investing into a currency backed by an entire company with real possibilities? It's like investing into stocks, except with crypto instead of fiat.

Then why not just issue stock with splits, instead of a PoS coin with interest? You just trying to avoid the SEC?

I'm not so sure it's just variance. I wrote a script for monero that xnbya runs with some modifications here ( http://minexmr.com/pools.html ), and in my experience it's not sometimes, it is all the time that the sum of the known pools hashrates adds up to be 20-33% larger than the hashrate calculated from the diff. I think the diff is based on last 24 hours, and the pools base their hashrate on the diff of blocks over the last 10 or 30 minutes. Maybe I'm wrong, but if it was just variance in the hashrate, then at some point the calculated network hashrate would be higher than the sum of the pools (since this isn't even including unknown/private pools and solo miners), but in my experience this is never true - the sum of the known pools is always greater than the calculated network hashrate. I don't know why this would be, just an observation from monero that also seems to hold true for boolberry and bytecoin.

If it is consistently true and doesn't swing the other direction as well, then the pools are overstating their hash rate. Simple as that.

That seems reasonable. Maybe not anything malicious, but just a bug in the node pool software perhaps?

lol, obviously you're not a lawyer  Roll Eyes

Neither am I, although I did take several business and criminal law courses in undergrad. Just trying to clear up some misconceptions for you and others posting on this board who may be worried that what they post here could have legal repercussions. In my non-lawerly opinion, there is about a 0.00000001% chance that something you post on this message board would be considered by any court of law as libel. Just my two satoshi, take it for what you will.

If you are not a lawyer, then your advice is worth just as much as mine, 2 satoshi like you said.   Let the people that want to play with fire continue their ways.   They just can no longer claim ignorance now.

lol you're an idiot. Sue me for libel, bitch Tongue
