When I mentioned legal position, any government, or authority can apply legislation in retrospect to the detriment of, or the governance of a sector.

Ah, in your model HMG can retrospectively decree that some selectively-determined prior trades in Britcoin were illegal. We have quite different understandings of the issue. I take a substantial part of mine from http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN06454/SN06454.pdf

Can you explain the "non-legal" rights of stakeholders?

I'm sorry but I can't parse the phrase ‘“non-legal” rights’, it’s an oxymoron, a contradiction in terms. Only law can confer “rights” and in the context of FOSS it only has one meaning, it refers to the intellectual property rights being ceded by the author of the code and imposes certain terms and conditions as detailed in the accompanying licence:

There are no rights accorded to purchasers of altcoins from cryptocurrency exchanges other than those detailed in the sales contract offered by the exchange and accepted by the purchaser. Do you have the receipt?

I am acutely aware of a variety of misconceptions abounding in the altcoin domain, one of which is a deeply misleading analogy with the tightly-regulated stocks/shares markets. The two are sharply different in a whole slew of crucial risk-assessment aspects.

I understand that you find the situation iniquitous, could I encourage you to understand that “getting in on the ground floor” is a story that appeals to speculators the world over, over and over again. “Easy money”, “Rake it in while you pick your nose and watch TV”, “It’s different this time”, “HODL!!”.

You have control over a chunk of the wealth of this coin. I think it’s a shame that your personal value system appears so impoverished as to compel you to assess this wealth in terms of an external, corrupt, hostile value system.

I don’t know whether the “THINK” comment was directed at me but may I reassure you that I have merely a passing interest in the coin (I share some of your opinions in different degrees) and only sought to dispel a misconception that might otherwise cost you dearly in unfavourable circumstances.

So is the premine truly removed? Although I doubt it matters with this one.

ISTM that the source testifies to a 20% premine:

https://github.com/asiadigicoin/asiadigicoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L1088

Code:
int64 static GetBlockValue(int nHeight, int64 nFees)
{
    int64 nSubsidy = 50 * COIN;

            if(nHeight == 1)
            {
            nSubsidy = 5250000 * COIN;
            }

    // Subsidy is cut in half every 210000 blocks
    nSubsidy >>= (nHeight / 210000);

    return nSubsidy + nFees;
}

5250000 / (26250000 / 100) = 20.0

No change from the previous attempt (the link to which has apparently been edited out of the original ANN):

1225  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to get a little bit of tenebrix and other very old alts? on: February 17, 2016, 12:02:09 PM
1 without a wallet QT - but you do have the wallet.dat - how do you see you wallet address so you can get coins sent to you?
Like for instance i want my american coins back...however i have no longer the amc qt. My AMC are on cryptsy but how can I find out which address to send my coins too?

Americancoin sources remain available:

https://github.com/dannyasia/americancoin/

So, in theory you could compile a Windows wallet, prolly better to set up a Linux VM and compile just the headless daemon.

(It did occur to me to preserve the sources for “posterity” but then I realised that posterity's been and gone without anyone really noticing or caring.)

1226  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Formulating The Optimum Speculation Theory on: February 16, 2016, 12:11:03 PM
I decided to publicly respond to a PM regarding the OP, as I feel like it would help clarify some of the points I tried to make in the OP.

That was from me. The PM wasn't private, just personal - to say that the content wasn't personal.

I'll snag some low-hanging fruit from CoinHoarder’s response but the both of us are having to be parsimonious with our time, so the discussion will develop in a fairly leisurely fashion - as is appropriate for a topic that demands some careful thought.

That low-hanging fruit:

Quote
you can increase your edge quite a bit by increasing your skills

My Dad studied the racing form, so I don’t think we can use acquired knowledge to differentiate between a wager and an investment. My sense is that the difference is more to do with how precisely the risk can be quantified. A lottery ticket is a gamble. 97.5% return on slots is definitely gambling, an odds-on favourite for the Kentucky Derby is gambling, purchasing a chunk of IBM preferred stock is generally recognised as investment, purchasing a chunk of Bear Stern’s junior debt is ... a poor investment but still an investment.

You're absolutely right to highlight the risk component, I just go a bit further with the baldness of my terminology.

Unfortunately, separating the "scamcoins" from quality investments that have potential is no easy task and there is no exact science.
I get your point but how does it help? It may be litotes rather than hyperbole but the statement remains mere rhetoric.
My intent of this statement is to elaborate as to how much work is required, and that no matter how much work you put in you may still end up being wrong. These were two points I tried to say multiple times in different ways, to make sure that I got those points across, because I feel like it is important to understand those things.

We're only differing by degree here. The two years I've spent collecting altcoin metadata has provided me with a lot of detail and one issue that just won't go away is that it can be impossible to distinguish between ineptitude and malfeasance.

In my opinion there are only a few "network effected" coins... such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin,

I suggest only investing in highly "network effected" cryptocurrencies
That's a feed line if I ever saw one ... What criteri[on|a] do you use to classify Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin as “network effect” coins? Do *any* other alts cut the mustard here?
I am not sure what a "feed line" is. If you mean this: (http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/feed+a+line) then I can assure you it is not my intention to convey something that I didn't think is true.

By feed line, I just meant that it raised the obvious question. I've distilled some attributes from your response.

I started with the wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect - which basically boils down to “popularity” but (reasonably) doesn’t say much about how it happens. There are supposed to be interdependent benefits forming the effect. All I'm sayin' is - how much do we think we actually know about the network effect as it applies to altcoins?

Dedicated and skilled developers are key to a successful cryptocurrency.
I believe that your supporting argument here can only be conjectural in nature because it isn't actually true as stated and so there isn't any factual support to be found. IMO, a dedicated dev should be viewed as a significant *weakness* in a coin.

It doesn't make any sense to me why having dedicated and skilled developers would be a weakness to a cryptocurrency. ... This argument doesn't make any sense to me and I don't see where you're going with it.

Okay, I'm hiding behind pedantry at the moment (in terms of wilfully over-interpreting “dedicated”) because i) I'm not quite ready to start explaining the logic behind this and ii) it requires a radical shift in thinking, the significance of which I'm only going to be able to communicate if I can persuade y'all to entertain a different narrative, which is what I'm trying to signal here.

Sure, and which “free market” would that be exactly?

I could have been clearer:

“This equilibrating behavior of free markets requires certain assumptions about their agents, collectively known as perfect competition, which therefore cannot be results of the market that they create. Among these assumptions are several which are impossible to fully achieve in a real market, such as complete information, interchangeable goods and services, and lack of market power. The question then is what approximations of these conditions guarantee approximations of market efficiency, and which failures in competition generate overall market failures. Several Nobel Prizes in Economics have been awarded for analyses of market failures due to asymmetric information.”

Succinctly - how well does the altcoin market approximate the conditions of a free market - which, if any of the assumptions are met and to what degree?

Quote
Quote from: Anonymous
(According to my model, the altcoin domain seems to exhibiting a collective failure to fully appreciate the significance of differing perceptions of “value”.)
Each cryptocurrency is judged separately in their own free market every day. With every buy and every sell, the cryptocurrency is being judged.

or being deliberately manipulated <- the cost of incorrect assumptions about perfect information.

++ Everyone thinks they know the answer, but the truth is that everyone is fooling themselves because no one truly knows.
Straw man, you haven't got any support for your assertion “everyone thinks” -- and fwiw, I think I know **an** answer.
Meh, the way people converse on the forums it leads me to believe that at the very least SOME people think that.

Okay, we can now reference a difference between a) those who believe they have an answer and b) those who believe that they don't (or possibly, even that such a thing is a chimera).

If the former are unable to articulate and provide broadly-accepted support for their rationale, all we have is “gut feeling” (or “a shallow model”). Those who recognise the shallowness of the model are doing so from the comparative advantage of a deeper model. If it‘s not a purely random domain, it's generally recognised that the latter will have the edge in accuracy of modelling/prediction. Knowledge = power and all that.

These factors include, but are not limited to (in no certain order):
Interesting list, looks like two/three items might be feasibly assessed using objective and reliable criteria, the rest remain topics for extended essays. I've add the challenges as obvious questions that people are likely to raise (gotta keep querying the reliability of the data and whether a reliable technical assessment is actually feasible or just a wish).

I don't have time to respond to the entire list right now, but I'd like to at least acknowledge that you have a point. Each of these factors probably deserves its own essay. Perhaps I can add a paragraph or so of elaboration for each, but even still it would never be enough.

My point is less palatable - is it actually feasible to assess these factors? IME, the results are so unreliable they're actually damaging if included in a model.

Has anyone got a 100% complete release date chart for all coins?

I have seen a few but i notice these list are always missing quite a few.

DOACC (an altcoin metadata collection) records an incept date (YYYY-MM) for every coin for which there is data. There aren't any precise release dates for some of the earlier ones, hence YYYY-MM is the best granularity I can manage to get.

Whaddya want, the first 100 out of the trap? CSV okay for you? Coming right up ...

The DOACC URI is the canonical one, replace

http://purl.org/net/bel-epa/doacc#

with

https://minkiz.co/page/Cryptocurrency/

to get an HTML rendering of just the fragment of the graph that's pertinent to the coin.

e.g. https://minkiz.co/page/Cryptocurrency/Df625a2c6-3455-43b8-b2b1-83d5be6aa671

By way of (brief) explanation: the metadata is represented in a publicly-accessible RDF graph. Minkiz has a copy of the graph (d/l from the github repos) and offers a SPARQL query service (SPARQL is semweb’s version of SQL).

The corresponding query is:

Code:
PREFIX skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#>
PREFIX ccy: <http://purl.org/net/bel-epa/ccy#>
PREFIX doacc: <http://purl.org/net/bel-epa/doacc#>

SELECT ?node ?label ?incept {
    ?node skos:prefLabel ?label .
    ?node doacc:incept ?incept .
    FILTER LANGMATCHES(LANG(?label), "EN")
} ORDER BY ?incept ?label LIMIT 100

You can edit the LIMIT to expand/shrink the list, just paste the edited query into the form provided by Minkiz SPARQL endpoint: https://minkiz.co/sparql

(The semweb stuff is a bit arcane but that’s the cost of being able to publish tractable yet canonical data. Anyone can grab a copy of the most recent graph, install, say fuseki locally and SPARQL away to their heart’s content.)

If you've followed Spreadcoin for longer than 4 months and are still invested

+10?

Following but not “invested” as such in that I contributed some laptop hashpower in the early days until the difficulty got established, during which time I managed to mine a few blocks and have not subsequently sold the coins.

But, on another tack:

The Other Side of the Coin: User Experiences with Bitcoin Security and Privacy <- a quantitative and qualitative survey of Bitcoin users/usability (n=990)

195 (19.7%) participants claimed to be running a full Bitcoin server that is reachable from the Internet. The top-mentioned reason for running a Bitcoin server was to support the Bitcoin network (60.5%), followed by fast transaction propagation (46.6%), network analysis (30.3%) and double-spending detection (26.1%).

So it is a summary according to :          https://coin.dance/nodes

Bitcoin core               nodes        4116
Bitcoin classic            nodes        803
Bitcoin XT                 nodes        155
Bitcoin Unlimited         nodes        58

They're all working on the same blockchain at the moment. Begging your pardon for my idleness, perhaps you can save me from the chore of finding out myself but  ... do all the programmed changeovers occur simultaneously or are they staggered? And are they mutually exclusive? (And I guess, if they are, will they remain that way? But that's just idle speculation)

If you can figure out the answer, or even an answer similar to the correct answer, then you will be a very rich man.

That might be arguably true in some contexts but not in the context outlined here.

1232  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Technology vs. Marketing. Which is more important? on: February 12, 2016, 09:20:16 PM
I don't expect a 50+ year old man to understand why Dogecoin was successful, and I'll simply leave it at that.

Oh, I don’t know about that. Back in 69/70, I was in the NE of the UK, pursuing a Business Studies HND at Sunderland Poly. The course had a marketing emphasis and as result I had the inestimable honour of being not-taught marketing by Jim Quigley -- also a successful businessman, the owner of a chain of supermarkets (verging on “magnate” status, that).

First day of term, we're all sat in the big lecture theatre, keyed up for our first Marketing lecture, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (or at least desperately trying to appear so).

Down at the front, standing beside the lectern was this slightly-built, silver-haired, *very* well-dressed, little elderly guy. In a gentle Irish lilt he introduces himself (as Jim) and kicks off the lecture with a softly-spoken question: “What is marketing?”

Everyone assumed it was a rhetorical question. During the lengthening silence that followed, it started to dawn on us that it was an actual question. A composed Jim waited calmly. Some brief confusion reigned, after some frantic sideways glances a definition was hesitantly ventured: right product, right place, right price? the venturer expecting to be corrected.

“Mmm” said Jim, tilting his head slightly to one side and looking up at us. “Does everyone think that covers it?”

Someone bravely narrowed / broadened the definition. Someone else chipped in, expanding it to include research and over the course of the time allotted for the lecture, with an occasional light supplementary question from Jim, we thrashed out our own definition of marketing.

And that's how the pattern went for the rest of the course; Jim asked a question and the rest of the lecture was spent by us in vigorous debate over the answer, where there could be an answer and whether it could be fitted nasally.

<fade out>

<fade in>

Some time later, we labbies at HP were encouraged to take the in-house marketing course. I declined but many of my colleagues sensibly took up the offer. I was again impressed with Jim's perspicacity and also mildly amused when they each came back bearing a copy of Philip Kotler’s Marketing Management textbook, 7th edition --- 25 years earlier, Jim had selected Kotler (the 1st edition) as the set book for the marketing course at Sunderland.

I'm quite confident that were he around today, Jim would understand why Dogecoin has been successful. After all, I'm his pedagogical legacy and I understand why.

Well, I wanted to fix the vulnerability I mentioned, which I could easily do in terms of the code.

Compilation requires libevent libs. It compiles and runs for me under ubuntu 15.04. Afaict, the only difference between britcoin classic and britcoin-tor is that in the latter, the tor aspect has been extended/emphasised and the irc-enabling code suppressed/removed. Otherwise, nothing's changed.

Not exactly a compelling argument but one which brings our exchange to an end. A rapid descent into offensiveness reveals the amount of cognitive bias you are labouring under, I do not wish to distress you further.

Terminology is all over the place (thanks to eduffield), afaict the most general term is ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlay_network

There's nothing wrong with the terminology, it's perfectly fine.

No it's not.

https://www.dash.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Dash-WhitepaperV1.pdf

“two­-tier incentivized network, known as the Masternode network”

There is no relevant definition appearing in the search results, even without the “incentivized”:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=two%C2%AD+tier+network&ia=about

(I'm prepared to draw a discreet veil over the term “Masternode network”, the less said about it the better)

Quote
An "overlay network" is a completely different thing - a distinct infrastructure for whom the subordinate ones may even be transparent. TCP/IP doesn't understand or care about analogue voice signals. VOPI doesn't understand packets etc.

I'm not sure why you provide a selective description that differs from the one given in the wikipedia entry, it doesn't advance your argument.

Cheers

Graham
