Hey, you guys.... keep up the withdraws from Bter...

They are limiting us to 10,000 XCR a day per account. It will take me weeks to get all my XCR out at this rate, but we are working on having Lin remove the limit.

We need to get Bter down below 30 Million, or 30% of XCR to enable DPOS.

You will need your XCR in your private wallet in order to vote for a Delegates in DPOS.  The votes are 1 vote per XCR, so 10,000 XCR gives you 10,000 votes. 

Also, forming a delegate requires a XCR fee.  You will need your XCR for that as well.

Poloinex is open for all trading, deposits and withdraws if you want to keep your XCR on an exchange.  Polo is a good place to sell XCR right now, as there is 9 BTC of orders outstanding there to buy XCR. 

On the FORGING page, you should see Forging Enabled in the upper right hand corner.  If not, you are not forging.

Also, on the Blockchain page, you should see your wallet address at the top block, as if it just forged that block.  All nodes thing they are forging the current block.  The network then randomly picks one of the nodes as the actual forger.

If you dont see the Forging enabled, then log out of the node... now you see the account log in page... click on the BACK button to go to the Forging log in... log in to forging and save to config... now you should see a text below the log in indcating that you are forging now.  Then go to the account page and log in there.

Did you log on separately to the forging page?  This is an additional login for just forging.  CLick on "save to Config".

Once you log into forging, you will be forging every time you start the node even if you dont log in to the account page. You should see a green FORGING ENABLED on the account tab if you are.  If not, go to the forging page and log in.

Unlike other POS coins, Cypti only needs 1000XCR to forge.  Having more XCR does not let you forge more often, like NXT.

The nodes forge randomly.  Look at your forging page.  DO you see blocks listed?  Those are the blocks you forged, with or without a reward.

In the past two weeks there has been very little XCR moving through the blockchain.  I have not forged a block for a reward for over a week as well. Poloniex keeps the XCR on their pool in a pool wallet, and you only trade tokens until you withdraw from the exchange.  Ditto for Bter and Cryptsy.  So, those transactions do not generate fees, as they are not forged in the blockchain.

Hang in there... Perhaps, as soon as today or tomorrow, Boris will be working with Bter to get them to update their wallet and then the withdraws of 65 million coins can start.  There will be a lot of fees earned for forging those blocks.

Once the amount of XCR at Bter is down to less than 25 million, we will be introducing 0.2 with DPOS.  That will be a radical change, and will enable DAPP and CBCs to be part of Crypti.  

XCR will be breaking out of the "just another alt-coin" hole.

the liquidity is so low because 65% of the XCR is still on Bter.  Counting the foundation wallet of 11 million XCR, and 4 million locked on Cryptsy, that leaves 20 million XCR for private wallets and Polo to share.  Very little is on Polo, maybe 4-6 million XCR.  So like you said, it does not take much to move the market to double the price or half the price.

Someone is buying.  BigTIme.  

On Bter, you can only see the month old price..... you cant trade, deposit or withdraw.  Crypty has not update their wallet since Sept.  You can trade there, but not deposit or withdraw.

Poloniex is up and running for all transactions, deposit, withdraw, trade.

Here is the Delegate page from the node under testing.      You can see the uptime as the first % after the node address.

We have not logged UPTIME for the nodes.  We tried the Proof Of Time, and it was not scaleable for a one minute block time.  The forging now is random.  I have the blockchain up on one monitor all the time, and I can see that often one node will forge several blocks in a row.

The testnet CryptiLite version shows a percentage for uptime for the delegates on the node. 

Also, the delegates can have a "Friendly Name" instead of just an account code.  You can upvote "SMARAGDA" and downvote "STARIK69".

BTW, Starik, I am not a coder, but I have been into computer since 1977.  Cut my teeth on IBM mainframes at the University Computer Lab, using a dumb terminal interfaced thru a channel to a four queue mainframe running at 128K with 1K RAM.  I did learn FORTRAN, but found construction better paying and the air was smoke free.  I do read the internal conversations here on testing and development, so I do know what is going on. 

The delegate does not know which block he will forge.

Also, in order for delegate #45 to forge, he would have had to update his blockchain from forgings 1-44 in that cycle.  Otherwise, that delegate could cause a fork.  Having an updated blockchain, in every node and delegate,  IS securing the network.

I checked.......Bter's SSL cert is from Geo Trust. and it expires Mar 19.... today.  

They forgot to renew it, or did not pay attention to the 30 day, and the 10 day, and the next day warning email.

They are up, but as you say, the SSL cert is expired. 

I clicked thru on the "add exception" and they came up.

I hope you all take your XCR out of Bter as soon as possible.  Not only is Bter somewhat shaky lately, but you will need it for making delegates and voting for a delegate.

If you need to sell, Poloniex is still trading XCR for BTC.

Does not matter which Delegate forged which block.  As Max explained... there are 101 blocks in a cycle....... the top 101 delegates each forge one block, then at the end of the cycle, the fees earned by all 101 forgings are combined and then divided between all 101 delegates.  

It is not important how the network chooses a particular delegate.  It only matters that each delegate does forge one block.

As for the box of candles..... I would first chose the ones that still had birthday cake and frosting on them first, and then lick it off.   

Bittrex has disabled JPC.

Where to trade now?

Max wants to avoid a 3 page post in this forum, if possible.  We had 3 hours with 5000bitcoins.  

If you want to post a Skype conversation for others, it would be permissible, PROVIDED it was posted in full, and not edited in any way, and Max gave his permission.

Some of at you have asked is still in the testing phase, and may be changed before release.  

I believe he is working with James on SuperUnity.

As I recall, he was REALLY REALLY insistant that Crypti join SuperNet. We could not figure out his motivation for being so pushy.  Then we found out he was working with James.

Max would not do such a thing unless he had your permission.  The team had a 3 hour Skype conference with 5000bitcoins around Xmas time.  Do you see any of it posted here?

Sometimes I forget the old addage "Dont try to discipline a pig by wrestling him in the mud....... the pig likes it". 

No one has expressed CONCERN over Crypti FANS being able to create 70 or 101 delegates.  Creating a delegate is no different than expressing a desire to run for political office...... you need votes.  Delegates dont vote.  Only the top voted 101 delegates split the forging fees from that last 101 block cycle.  Having 50 delegates, and only 5 or so in the top 101 is not a good investment. 

Delegates, once formed, are permanent.  There is no refund if they go dark.  You can sell your delegate privately to another user, but you cant change the passphrase.  Would you buy a delegate that had a passphrase known to another user? 

The consensus is that the community, knowing that one user has formed 50 delegates, will not vote for those delegates. There was even an excellent suggestion from Eric that we have a "minus" vote available for each node.  The community could get together and vote a delegate out of the 101 positions. 

Forming a Delegate is not cheap....... we are considering 25000XCR right now.  That would be 2.5 million XCR to form 101 delegates.  I only know of two people that have that much XCR, but after buying those delegates, their supply of XCR that is available for voting in a node would be greatly diminished. 

Also, remember that there is not any forging unless XCR is traded.  Hording great amounts of XCR in a node to have a bigger vote only serves to lessen the amount for trading, which lowers the forging fees further.

I dont have any plans to form more than 1 delegate.  Max, well, he is a NXT fan.  Perhaps he will enlighten us as to his plans.
