Okay thanks, at least he has a test page up. Probably would be worth hosting one on github (github has free hosting)

Cool quote! Yeah he definitely was interesting. My step-father met him I think when he was younger he was installing antennas and was at Einstein's house or something. It's a small world

The paper moon is a mystery to me, maybe it's made of cheese. Still wonder in awe what stars are. I remember my mom laughed one day when we were walking and I stopped and freaked out pointing at the moon and was like "What the fuck is that thing??!?! No seriously what is that thing!?!" It was amusing

Also the markets are more active here, the community works much harder, helps me test, helps market, it has a more marketable brand name, is a more active slack and unlike Blackcoin I have much more control over the coins protocol. Distribution may be a bit better too.

I'm not knocking BLK, I develop in both. However the rolling peg is at least one feature that will set this apart. And if we decide to add other features (like zcoins) we can do that as well. I don't control BLK github. However because BlackHalo is dual coin I also use it to store my Bitcoin using BitHalo. Also their dev janko is very active working on colored coins and Java based applications. So they have their own thing going for them. They do alot of proof of stake enhancing. Rat4 made my staking commands for POS 3

Hey dev is it still possible to burn my vidz for the thing here?

It has been fairly bearish (i had sold the majority at a good price but had some left behind).

What exactly is the process for burning and how is it escrowed? Do i just send it from the exchange to a specific address or something or how is it redeemed? If you could PM me would appreciate it as I don't check bitcointalk too often. I'm a coder not so much an avid investor. By the way if you felt i was been hard on you earlier no hard feelings. It's nothing personal. I don't believe in anonymous dev crowdfunds to begin with and there is still a lot of concerns i have. But regardless, since Purevidz is so bearish there is no reason not to swap.

Also I feel like any crowdfund should have a product in hand before funding. Which is why I bought Vidz in the first place (there was a page I could "click" on which meant it was 10% better than vaporware haha). So before you finish your last round of funding get a functional page up with provable improvements on your github and such.

Good luck and please do not abandon and don't trick your investors, consider the scar it will leave on your self (and them) if you do. Crypto doesn't need more bad ICO. With all the new money coming into bitcoin we need reliable developers badly.

Ahh good point you might want to take that contract down. And only keep test contracts up or even send them privately.

On that note...

Relativity can't be true because light is only measured in air. Thus any dense material with a refractive index less than 1 has hardly been used to measure its speed. So measuring light in a "vacuum" would be almost exponentially faster. So whatever space agencies claim lights speed is in a vacuum must be untrue, they are probably even lying.

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=120095

The light speed record has been "broken" scientists find convenient excuses to explain away the results as usual. It falls into the realm of pseudoscience.

The reality is quite simple. Light is not a constant, thats the part being lied about. Measuring in air shows the speed we are given except air is extremely dense filled with tons of elements (light of course moves slower in water and other materials with higher refractive index). So experiments show already circumstantial evidence that there is something seriously wrong with the theories.

Thus excuses are given to make our text books fit their models. Students must not question authority!



As you can see I'm not a fan of Einstein.

Tesla had like a zillion patents invented radio (before Marconi), wireless energy transfer, alternating current and pretty much everything we rely on today. Tesla should have been the man of the century.

I'm archiving this meme... so awesome

Hahaha well perhaps I'm going to plead the 5th on my opinions of modern astronomy perhaps this comment alone infers a lot. Hahahahahah

Let me just put it mildly by saying people should first question if what they are being taught is true and then question the premises of the foundations of pseudoscience theories.

Here is the thing: we can build a computer without even knowing what it truly is.

In the words of the great Tesla:

Perhaps but if I spent my life trying to chase stolen money it's like chasing my tail. May as well go after Bob with a pair of brass knuckles. And then who is next? If I made a long list of jerks to go after I would never finish. A new jerk is born every minute. Instead I want to strike at the root and heart of the problem which is: How did so many people learn to be this way? How can we protect innocent people from having those things happen to them? Can we stop the propaganda machine that teaches people to be this way? Can we teach our kids to be better? Can we be better?

Those are preliminary questions. With free will we know we can't change the heart of men. Even trying makes us no better than our power hungry governments. We need to find the root of the problem. What inspires people to be this way? The media is a good place to start searching.

Very interesting. I'm still of the belief that Quantum computers don't exist. Google might claim they have one however I believe in Nikola Tesla who was not a fan of atomic theory and side with his theories instead. He thought the belief in atomic theory was a "psychosis". I'm not throwing out double slit entirely mind you or some of the circumstantial data. But it seems like theoretical mumbo jumbo science has become the new religion. I'm not saying extremely fast computers similar to speeds boasted by Quantum computing won't happen either. They most likely will. However I don't think the key to breaking BTC will be in brute force computing, it will be in breakthroughs in math and logic.

There are other alternative explanations for double slit than a particle/wavicle/wave... people make too many assumptions based on that data and don't consider many studies have alterior motives

If it is, that's who we want out. Slack says they didn't have much left

Ha-ha saw that. They really might not go to ICO. I know they said they would but each day gets worse. It was really funny on their slack hearing "We were thinking to not even address it because nobody cares about the issue." and hearing "We didn't even talk about it in the office today".

Damn maybe you can hear a pin drop in their office. Cut the tension with a knife it's like the elephant in the room then.

I've never seen a project implode like that. It's wild to watch.

Anyways guys, there is still a couple things for me to do in this build. Should have the links up today though if my tests go well.

That's a very good question. Yes that depends on where the 2nd location is. It is less than a fraction of a second. On my LAN it's extremely fast. As you all know with online and network games there is low latency.

And actually the question is moreso how often you check to see if you have won. Rat4 recommend it's redundant to check more than every 16 seconds. But in Halo/Bitbay we check every 7. So perhaps that even gives us a tiny advantage. Also, because of the p2sh stake it lets our frozen coins stake which helps our chances of finding one in the first place. So unless your server lags there is no major difference.

http://reports.bitcoinprbuzz.com/bitbay/

Results from the PR campaign a lot of you contributed to. I think it went really well for the sake of transparency I'm posting here. Let me guys know if you think it was worth it and how the analytics stack up.

Personally I found them easy to work with and a relivtely decent price.

Sure it's pretty simple actually. So most coins only stake normal single ket QT accounts. Blackcoin dev rat4 made me a series of improvements in POS 3 that allow me to spend with block signing key. Therefore, any input can stake now.

This means multisig can stake. Aka multisignature staking.

So if multisinature can stake then you can use two computers to stake in sort of a two step send. Aka cold staking.

So you have a local network at home. You have two computers. Computer A finds a stake, signs it, sends to computer B who signs it with their 2nd key sends back to A who sends the complete TX to the network!

This lets you stake with only one key connected. Thus your account is extremely hard to hack since your keys are on two completely different computers.

The 2nd location can be a server thus is perfect for exchanges and banks. The 2nd key can be a little staking device.

Lastly the innovation in POS 3 although simple is crucial for letting us stake with frozen coins.

The custom stake makes voting easier too as we can customize our payments and even donate our stakes or park them.

Those are the nice things about simply being allowed to stake via spending with block singing key embedded in the TX as opposed to limiting us to single key stake.

I want to make an official statement here:

I've switched from Google translate in the LIVE translator because mean ol' Google decided they wanted to prevent web crawlers and bots so they crushed our goslate Python package that I was using. So what does this mean? It means we had to switch to Yandex. It means the list of languages is slightly different too.
Which means the thing changed and anyone who is working on translations will probably have to start over! Sorry to break that news. But its okay lesson learned!
This time we have to do translate them ahead of time using the LIVE translator so we can archive them just in case this one gets taken out too(also because Yandex has an API key that limits us to 10 million characters per month). Only ONE person will be assigned to this. It will be a bounty. So I will urge others to only use the language you need for now and not play around with translation too much or I have to get another key.

Okay lastly, the build is done. I put off a few other minor fixes to the next release. Since I know how long everyone has waited for this specific update (cold stake).

So I'm building it tonight/tomorrow checking it and we release on slack for the first tests. And actually anyone can test it by downloading the updater manually. Otherwise the version number will change when slack decides. They had some date in March set. We could roll it back a little earlier even if the tests go well.

Thanks 


Damn, we should put "Taking down an ICO" to our list of accomplishments!

Well you have a point. And there is always a way to spin a negative into a positive. So I'm not against talking about it as long as people are made very aware of what has been done here despite them. When people see that we work here continually testing updates and fulfilling promises with all that garbage on our heads, they will realize why this is worth it.

Simply, tell people even after what happened 2 years of work and download the software and see for themselves!

We aren't trying to convert people from other coins. But there is no reason not to highlight that point.

As for the slack research you are probably right. Because if any of them still had coins, now would definitely be the time they would sell them. Unless they secretly believe in this project haha. I think they were foolish to sell, they were not even paying attention to the ideas. Of course BitBay is already up 4-5 times over the year because it is undeniable that there is more going on here than meets the eye.

"Never judge a book by its cover"

I'm of the opinion that Bitcointalk is "controlled opposition" by a government agency. I'm not alone on that opinion. I think they try to destroy devs, altcoins, and position their own projects at the top.

You might want to read up on groups like this ^ leaked by Snowden

People can try to discredit me for saying this... but there is a lot of anecdotal evidence. Theymos knew I messaged him, mprep bragged about it so they clearly spoke about it. He said none of the mods/staff liked BitHalo. Its the only software in the world that does smart contracts in Bitcoin and they don't like it?? I wonder why... because it removes middle men perhaps?! It obviates courts, makes unbreakable contracts and stops theft by using double deposit escrow. 2 party escrow 4 years and still going. Not vaporware. Unlike most projects.... :|

Speaking of Theymos...
He works for a senate office. Small world. His dox was removed... he loves banning people who dox him but won't ban people who dox others.

He will not stop for a second to violate your privacy too by the way. You can look at the time he supplied courts with PMs.

This forum is like 4chan. Thats why I only post in BitBays or Blackcoin thread most of the time. Realize everyone I may stop responding to comments here. So if you have a direct question for me please PM. I'm really busy working on an updated build. I don't want to waste a single second more of my life on guys like Dai.

I can't cure the evil in the hearts of men only purify my own heart. Take out of that what you will.
