You will find that many important questions regarding NRS have remained unanswered by Barwizi. Anyone who was heavy in NRS left a while ago, and for good reason. Please perform your due diligence in the unmoderated thread and you will find the claims stated here have merit and are completely accurate.

Just saw this on twitter, not sure what this means for Black Halo.

I strongly encourage everyone here to log onto coinmarkets IRC chat...

https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.altcoinweb.com:+6697/

You will find members of the channel bragging about posting here and deliberately creating FUD so they can lower the price of NAUT and buy more coins. Bryce Weiner is an active member of the community there, and has been active in the chat while all of this has been transpiring. If that doesn't concern you in the least, then...

Full disclosure = I am currently a NAUT holder.

Just wanted to say thanks, this worked for me. Appreciate the help!

I've updated to the latest bitmonerod and simplewallet and now when I try to exit the bitmonerod (with the exit command) it just hangs and I have to manually close the window causing me to have to resync every time I reopen. I deleted the poolstate and p2p files, and the issue still persists. I'm running Windows 64-Bit, any workarounds for this? Thanks!

Correct. Moneropool.com now has about 20% of the total Monero hashrate. Ive moved my miners elsewhere and I suggest everyone else do the same.

So when exactly did moneropool.org change to moneropool.com? Had a couple hours downtime with my miners, not too pleased about this.

At the current rate of development, I imagine The Noir Group will finally deliver a DAC, but only after everyone's long gone. We don't need another lotto DAC, we have one, and you can use it right this very second...

If you don't feel incompetent enough by the devs posts, just stick around. I'm sure he will make things right! Don't stop belevin...

I have this same power supply. It's been good to me, but I haven't pushed it to the limits of its 750W max. Corsair builds a good unit, and I don't think you will hurt anything trying it out, but I would personally feel more comfortable with a 800W+ unit. Just make sure to watch temps on the PSU, good luck!

My agenda has always been about helping others, and asking questions that I see fit for the benefit of the community. Dirac has raised a considerable amount of questions and concerns for me, and I have been very vocal about this. The catalyst of these posts was the missing 25000 NAUT buyback fund that went missing. New users came out of nowhere to justify this and once things got sour the funds magically reappeared (24999.998 NAUT, but who's counting?) The dev's response to the community after numerous queries were made to David Seaman can be seen here...

Dirac according to all information publicly available is...



On top of being "A revolution in cryptocurrency and finance" these are all some some very serious claims! With such statements, one has to ask themselves; how?. Carrying large amounts of wealth is a very serious matter, so wanting to know the game plan shouldn't be too much to ask from a investors standpoint. I have asked the developer these questions without answer. However, if you do your homework you will find the developer does have a strategy; well, I will let him explain.

Source - http://youtu.be/UMjrjpCPjpo?t=48m50s -  Dirac Commentary starts @ 48:50

"Dirac is set for its proof of work reduction in August, and then comes the humongous buyback, thats going to be an event! I'm just going to call it what it is, im pre announcing a pump on Dirac. I'm taking 25000 Nautilus (edit - Currently 3.04325000 BTC) and im going to pump the hell out of Dirac for as long as I possibly can' and we're going to have a little fun with it!"

The developer continues to state...

"Everything is going to be publicly available, we're going to publish all the trade records so everyone can see what we did, and know we didn't cheat or anything like that. But im also going to do this like a sporting event and im calling it the worlds largest poker game and anybody in the crypto market can play. It's going to be me versus another trader most people are familiar with. Whoever gets the most Dirac at the end (edit - wins?). I'm going to give him half the pile of Nautilus coin and say "here are your chips to play with" and "here are my chips to play with" and may the best man win. In the end, im going to give him 20% of what he can buy as a reward."  

If this doesn't strike you as questionable in the slightest, then perhaps we just have marginally different values. Regardless, you stated I had an "obvious agenda" which in turn questions my integrity, and that's something I don't take lightly. With that being said, I would like to take some of your previous statements into question...


This statement alone shows bias, but let's not ignore the fact your entire post history shows activity only in threads of coins which Bryce has had a vested interest in...

You also made the statement...


When I quoted the source of your statement, and made light of the fact that there is only a single paragraph of information on http://blocktech.com, you responded with...


I'm not walking away from my statements, and should I be proven wrong then I will be the first one to admit it. I've spoken my piece and I would like to leave it at that. If you could contribute anything to help alleviate my concerns I would welcome your opinion, however from here on out, ill be watching from the sidelines and rationing my free thread bumps. Good luck and take care

I couldn't agree more!

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I've listed my concerns here and I feel thats more than enough. Dirac has been a questionable coin from its onset which is evident throughout the pages of this thread. I appreciate your willingness to help, but frankly, thats not your responsibility. I've come to my own conclusions regarding Dirac, I hope that anyone else interested will perform their due diligence, read this thread, and do the same. Take care, and good luck!

For those interested in the source of this statement you can find it on http://blocktech.com. However, besides the quoted paragraph above there is no other information there whatsoever. It's far from a compelling source to such bold claims.

But if you're looking for more information regarding XDQ you could always go to the Dirac forum on Cryptocoin talk (The devs preferred forum), but unfortunately there is even less activity there, and all the information is just copied and pasted from the thread here on Bitcointalk.

You could also check out the github repo for Dirac to find more information, but there's simply nothing there that hasn't been posted elsewhere. The last commit for Dirac was 2 months ago as of today's date.

I guess if you really want to get answers about Dirac you have to go straight to the source... Twitter! Myself and others have asked Bryce numerous questions in regards to Dirac, but he never responds... I know, I know.. He's busy, maybe he's already answered these questions multiple times and just cant be bothered. You can perform a search for #Dirac or #XDQ, but it will only take you full circle, you'll be right where you started without finding anything useful.

There are little tidbits about Dirac mentioned in the David Seaman programs, but nothing noteworthy. Perhaps there is a highly organized collection of Dirac information hidden in IRC somewhere, but I haven't found it. So I guess you could say that I have done my homework in regards to Dirac. I encourage everyone else here to do the same.

If you would like to bring up quotes regarding the Blake ecosystem, let me provide you with one from one of the most prominent members in the Blake community which was taken from this very thread...


The community shouldn't have to do their homework,the key dynamics of the coin should be transparent; period. Ive said it before, and ill say it again; if it wasn't for the current Blake merged mining infrastructure keeping Dirac alive this coin would be dead in the water.Ill let the community make their own decisions with the facts given.

Please pardon me if im being brash...

Your arguments of arbitrage are noble, but bullshit. This was never stated in the OP (I checked to see if it was updated). I understand the technique of using arbitrage, but this strategy was never documented in the blueprint of the coin; its a (somewhat) sound idea, but it's also a gamble no matter which way you try to spin it.

Cliche = Your post history of 4 is all but worthless when you're trying to defend the integrity of this coin. The dev is responsible for updates and PR within the community, not you. New accounts bringing biased opinions about a coin always throw red flags for senior members and investors alike.

One more thing... The NAUT buyback address for XDQ is fully funded again... Good on Bryce, taking care of that for the second time. Lets see what happens next month.


I'm glad you're the new face of PR for Bryce, he doesn't update this thread very often. Dirac is advertised as a "Revolution in crytocurrency and finance". For anyone proficient in bitcoin, I think I speak for everyone in saying that we understand how a wallet / public address works. Don't try and trivialize the situation for people who don't know any better. The funds were gone for a while and now they're back. Everybody can feel free to take that as you will.

So you're telling me, the funds set aside for this coins future, are better suited in an exchange wallet then a standard / offline / cold storage wallet? There are a number of coins out there with public addresses of funds that are verifiable at a moments notice, why do we have to search for that information here? It's great the NAUT is accounted for 'somewhere', but lets not be so naive to think that exchanges are the safest place to hold a large quantity of coins. In this day and age exchanges have all seen their fair share of security breaches and coins stolen. It would be a shame if the same happened here...

The people making remarks about bringing WIZ or IE back are ridiculous; I mean, are you out of your god damn minds?!?!?

These two people brought NOTHING to BC, nothing what so ever. They were entertaining personalities for a time, but that time has long passed. Wiz had a fair deal of exposure, but he was far from being a poster child for BC. IE might have money, and thats cool and all, but we shouldn't want or need it here. You can have the best idea in the world, but money can only take you so far. The people building a brand are the most valuable asset you can desire in business. We have a good team behind BC, not a perfect team, but a damn good one.

WIZ and IE served a purpose during their respective times, but those times are long over now. If anything, the community should not be looking to bring old people back, we should be looking for new, better people to fill their places.

So this is what Walt has been up to after Breaking Bad. Awesome work!

At least with BC; I found it interesting that they were moving to SHA256 for POS 2.0 vs Scrypt. Not sure what the technical reasoning was behind this, but interesting none the less.

Received! Thanks for going out of your way to make this right.
