I am still concerned that the main focus of the coin is on price. This is like shopping for a box before you decided what present you want to get to put inside the box. Artificially managing a coin based on price is not sustainable imo and it should be free market. The Fly model seems to be built on barriers to sell eg. hampering free coin movement as well as making agreements not to sell. This artificial constraints placed on the coin will hamper free market adoption for real use cases imo. In addition, as soon as someone breaks rank there is a risk that the rest will follow.

On the other hand, if price is your main focus and your "results" = price, then putting the barriers in place will probably help your objective for the time being and is up to you to implement if that is your chosen strategy.

Nothing to see. Moving on.

If your plan to create demand is by making fun, how then will you be creating "fun"?

Dev how are you going to convince people to buy HiFun? Your focus should not be on getting onto a third exchange since it is already on 2 exchanges. Focus rather on creating demand for HiFun and the rest will follow including price and more exchanges.

When you make an investment decision you first need to consider if this is true and the chances of finding someone like that.

In many cases as time goes on the pool of people that will fall in this category become less until there is no-one left and then the price stagnates and become "stuck".  There are only so many people in crypto willing to take the risk and therefore "incentives" have to become really big and way-out to get more people interested. The people that misjudged the answer to the question in the link unfortunately have a problem and lose their money unless the theory becomes true again due to some intervention eg. even more way-out "incentives". In real life there are regulation against this.

You must therefore take care when making investment decisions and never invest any money that you are not willing to lose or you don't mind it becoming dead when it gets "stuck" when the pool gets saturated.

I am flattered, but for expectation management please note that I am not a master coder and wont pretend to be one either. I have said that elsewhere. I can help myself with basic things but if solving for Cent requires code trawling and deep dives then I would suggest the principle of playing by your strengths and get a master coder into the community. My skill is much more in management and translating business objectives to IT objectives, strategy and other "C-suite" stuff. Give the coding problems to the master coders.

The person was claiming that Cryptsy is staking their MTR wallets. Therefore my reply because then he could have easily seen if this is the case or not.

I did not say anything about MT (gone or not) or the coin in general in this post. I just said that it is a good idea for a coin to build up taint analysis MIS. There is a lot of information that can be obtained from this. It is definitely not a joke. It is ok to talk about chainz.cryptoid because that is MTR's block explorer and it provides the functionality I refer to.

Some advice. If I were you I would have spent some more time building up taint analysis MIS on chainz.cryptoid. You can then easily see what exchanges are doing, where the stakes come from etc. There is limited MIS available currently on the MTR blockchain (unless it exists somewhere else) and it is difficult to see exactly where the issues are and to prove or disprove certain claims or speculations.

A Mac wallet would be a nice addition. This can be a good example of how the VCoin community should operate. If you want a Mac wallet, get in touch with someone with the skills and ask him to join the community and contribute a Mac wallet. I am sure there are others that would also want to use a Mac wallet. Being a supporter of the VCoin community, I compiled and contributed a Pi wallet but unfortunately I have not yet looked into compiling a Mac one.

The VCoin community is a Teal organization (refer here). Everyone can participate and apply their skills, including PR and marketing.

If the community work together, just like sociable weavers (found in Africa), a strong platform for be future can be woven.  This will require everyone to work together and contribute their skills and resources and sometimes not necessarily wanting something in return but doing it for the good of the community and the greater cause. Profit and price is not the main driver but a lagging indicator that follows the efforts of the community.

Do you have a bounty to translate to Taushiro?

Outsourcing is an acceptable business practice. In fact, the use of it is increasing in the world. Nothing wrong with it and in real life business management seldom has the skills themselves to run their IT department.

Good attempt, but I think this was a grab of another straw. This actually shows that coin management is applying progressing business practice in today's world and is not wasting their time on coding, but focusing on core business objectives (Toshidesk) while outsourcing the mundane tasks like coding to an expert since they cannot code themselves or is not skilled to do a good job of coding themselves. Play to your strengths. This is in line with articles like this one from Harvard Business Review or this one in Forbes or some expert advice here and here and I would say what coin management is doing here is the preferred strategy for MTR. Play to your strengths - if coding is not your strength, outsource it to someone whose strength it is. It is also re-assuring that management is looking to improve the wallet to better sync times etc. Imagine coin management did not care about the community and decided not to improve the wallet or worse to try and code something in themselves while their strengths are in charting modules or steering the business towards achieving the business objectives? That would have been unacceptable. Thanks for posting that and you should be happy for posting it.

To require coin management to also be devs for a coin to be successful is retro theory.

I agree that 8bit is intelligent. Your argument however is true only if logic mattered. I also thought like you earlier. Sometimes though logic is irrelevant and I doubt that the content of any reply in the case of MTR will make a difference due to the root cause of his presence here and could unfortunately even cause the odd valid concern of his to suffer. It will go on and in the end you will realise that there is no diplomacy in extremism it seems. Sure you can reply with intelligent replies and I started out with long replies to his posts but gave up when I saw it is going no-where. If you succeed I will take my hat off to you. If it turns out in the end that he was right about the whole MTR concept I will apologize.

Ill say this once.

What a waste of time to type all of that out. Have you not learnt by now that he is not interested in intelligent reply because that is not why he is posting. He is posting only to create chaos with the aim to cause maximum damage to MTR in whichever way he can because of a vendetta he has against MT due to a past scrap between them. The more people quote and reply to him the more ammo he gets - compare it to try and get out of a quagmire or swimming against a sea current. The more you try to reply intelligently the more the attacks and fud become and the more things will be turned and twisted to achieve his main goal. The content of what you type is irrelevant as proven by history in this thread. He will use whatever is posted and grab any straw, including this post you will see, to attempt to turn it around into ammunition. Therefore, do not quote him and do not waste any energy trying to answer with an intelligent reply to his posts as he is not interested in the replies, only in the damage he can cause. Best is just to ignore.

I have no scrap with him and actually has respect that he stays with 8bit coin so long - I just think it is unjust that he causes damage to MTR investors that had no part in whatever issue he and MT had.

What compile issues do you have? I know of the follow issues in the code that you try and see if it works for you:

1) Assign execute permissions to /leveldb/build_detect_platform
2) Create and empty "obj" folder within /src like so /src/obj

(while playing around in Excel)

Equivalent block size:

VCoin block time 30s = 20 blocks / 10min = 20MB / 10min
Bitcoin block time 10min = 1 block / 10min = 1MB / 10min

Here is the Raspberry Pi wallet for v0.9 - for both the Qt wallet and the the headless daemon wallet (command line).

Important:
1) The wallet was built on a Raspberry Pi2 (ARM7) running Raspbian Wheezy.
2) Installation directory where the binaries are installed is ~/opt/vcoin or /home/pi/opt/vcoin
3) All that is needed is to execute the command below on your Pi in a terminal window and afterwards you need to double click the vcoin-qt icon on your desktop. Alternatively go to the directory with the wallets and run the daemon (vcoind) with the options you want at the command prompt or in a terminal window
4) An Internet connection is required for the installation
5) A bootstrap.dat is used to fast track the blockchain sync - up to block 607982.
6) The bootstrap.dat also works for Windows wallets. For your convenience I have included a direct link below to a normal zipped bootstrap.dat to make it easy for the Windows users. Windows users have to unzip and copy the bootstrap.dat file into their c\users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\vcoin folder and run the Win client again
7) You need at least an 8GB memory card
8.) The installation itself takes about 30-45min on an out-of-the-box Pi and then a once off import of the blockchain takes another 1-3 hours
9) You cannot just download the binaries, you have to run the script to get the dependencies as well else it will not run
10) The installation script does not enable the UFW firewall by default. If you want to enable it, uncomment the UFW lines in the script and add the port you want open and run it again or enable it manually by running the UFW commands as in the script with the correct port numbers.
11) Always backup your wallet first
12) The installation assumes you are using the default "pi" account

Instructions to use the daemon:

1) Since you have an vcoin.conf file with the startup settings in it that was created by the script, go to the folder with the binaries ~/opt/vcoin and enter ./vcoind in a terminal window to start the server
2) After the blockchain has been imported you can enter the normal wallet commands that you would as in a Windows debug console preceded with ./vcoind
3) Remember to always make a backup of your wallet.dat file before you do anything like encrypting it
4) To encrypt your wallet run the command ./vcoind encryptwallet <yourpassword>

Let me know about any issues that you may encounter.

To kickstart the installation execute the following command at the command prompt or in a terminal window on your Pi:
