we have bots in the real world they are called bankers  lol and look how that worked out lmao  Party on dudes lol

Hi Crackfoo,

Not now, sorry ! We have too many other coins watching what we are doing right now, so we will only release when ready and code is secure.
I hope you and the community understand the situation !

wo  finde ich windows wallet?

Ya, I hear ya. Not a fan of the site myself but unfortunately this is the spot to trade VEX for now.  Really the coin's not going to take off until it hits another exchange anyways,  but it just irks me that they can't even update that and properly dispose of the coins.  Please don't take this as FUD, but it really doesn't look good to still have the supposed to be destroyed coins still in existence and the exchange tasked with doing so dragging their feet on it.

Yes, we do and it is mind blowing.
Some teasers:

- Update of Wallet through PUSH (no more using wrong version of Wallet)
- Features can be build in to wallet without breaking blockchain.
- Change a difficulty algorithm by replacing a dll instead of needing a fresh wallet.
- Add a hashing algo to the mix at any given point in time
- Many more, not to be mentioned yet, as we have to keep them secret while we are working on them.

In short words, Its a complete redesign of the Crypto coin as we know it today and will make BTC , Darkcoin, Blackcoin or BTCDark look like windows 3.1.

I share that opinion. Drop the reward but extend the time between subsequent halving. Extend the mining expiration date to further down the road.

Bots. Name change. SuperNET. A new mining pool. LTCD 2.0. A beta test.

That's all that comes to mind, right away. But I do think there was more.

Oh, yeah - Exchanges (stop submitting). Reward reduction. Logo.

I still see all this talk of a name change, and while it may be a good idea for later, maybe at the 2.0 launch, right now we're known as LTCD.  I seriously doubt "dark" is discouraging investors.  It's far more likely that someone holding a massive amount of a coin that is being quickly depleted still in its infancy is discouraging new investors.  I am 100% behind the idea of dropping the block rewards.  I am 100% behind adding proof of stake.  I'm also 100% behind the current list of bugfixes and resolutions that I'm working on (ie. the pchMessageStart problem).

The way I see things, I wish I had gotten the opportunity to help with this coin prior to its initial launch.  I would almost propose relaunching LTCD with a side blockchain using proof-of-burn and trading 1:1 or even 1:0.5 with the new codebase to reduce the number of coins in circulation, without raising the 82,003,200 cap and allowing a definite start to proof-of-stake block generation and rewards.

Some of these things will need to be addressed VERY quickly if LTCD is to survive.  Some of these things may be damaging to our reputation in the short term, but I think we'll end up with a better infrastructure and more room for growth with the possibility of expansion very soon.

I have forked litecoin (again) into a staging repository where I'm going to build (yet another) testing-only currency to run some specific simulations and work out my own proof-of-stake implementation outside of core.  The sources will be open, so you can feel free to compile your own, but consider it a semi-closed beta as binary wallets will only be distributed to a select few of those willing to help run various scenarios.  In this staging currency, there will a stipulation within the license agreement that you are NOT allowed to buy or sell the currency for any real-world currency, crypto, fiat, precious metals or anything else that can be given a monetary value EXCEPT the staging coin itself.  It is something I'd like to keep as a staging ground for 2.0 features with no direct ties to LTCD other than hypotheticals.

PM for invites for beta testing.  I'll personally vet the testing candidates and decide who can get an early copy.

The staging currency I'm referring to is NOT LTCD 2.0, it is only a test bed (beyond the scope of testnet) for future feature integration within LTCD proper.

Exactly.  There are far too many variables to consider making this change based on a quick forum poll.  Something like this would need a massive organized poll.  Until then, I refuse to touch the reward structure.
