I have a Raspberry Pi wallet if you are interested which I have not published yet. Maybe Ill publish it a bit later tonight.

If recompiled the dynamic binary on a fresh up to date Pi2 and uploaded again to the original post. What is interesting is that it compiled with exactly the same checksum hashes which probably means that there was nothing wrong with the first wallet. I just recompiled it in anyways. I also updated the bootstrap.dat to block 240082 (85MB zipped). While I was at it I also compiled a static wallet and added it to the download list, although the script uses the dynamic wallet. The static build you have to download on your own.

PS: The wallet will not connect to the server until the full bootstrap has been imported. You can open the graphical leafpad and view the ~/.MasterTrader directory to monitor progress on growth of the block file vs the bootstrap.

Ill do it in anyways.

Ill upload a fresh one as well.

Things are slowly starting to pick up. The chain is running smoothly and what I like most so far is the quick difficulty retargeting. The chain seems to go through two ebbs per day and it is interesting to see how the hashrate goes up on the difficulty down-cycle. I guess miners are trying to accumulate as many coins as possible before the next halving at 400k.

Sure.  I noticed there has been several PI OS updates since June and I have recompiled after doing all the upgrades etc. Seems to be running fine and I will update new binaries later today.

Here are some links that talk about when a wallet is a full node.

Watch out for this wallet as quoted by oldkolobok. It contains viruses. Check the hashes of your wallet file and compare to virustotal to see if if you have an infected version.

Why is the price so important? Shouldn't price just follow implementation of features and plans? Once something becomes popular and useful price will follow. Focussing on price before implementation of features and plans is the wrong way around imo.

Please correct me if I am wrong but afaik a node is a wallet that is connected to the network whether it has a local chain or not. A full node is a wallet that has the full chain locally. Therefore if your wallet is fully synced and the chain is local on your PC then you are a full node.

If your wallet is synching and your local chain is updating with blocks and if you can see other connections in the bottom right then your wallet is a node. It seems that you are trying to mine with the built in wallet miner. I would advise against it at this point as the difficulty is too high for CPU mining. The only way to mine it at the moment is with an ASIC miner connected to the wallet. Forgot about using setgenerate. For academic reasons, if you want to know if your wallet built-in miner is working, you can look at your system processes and resource usage and if your CPU is running at 100% then your CPU is mining. If you are connected to your local wallet with an ASIC on your local network, then look in your miner console software to see if it is connected and mining.

All you do is to install the Windows client. Then in the ...\roaming\vcoin folder you place a file called vcoin.conf. Inside the file put the lines in the block below. Also change the user ID and password to something suitable.  You can then also sync up quickly by copying the bootstrap.dat file into the ...\roaming\vcoin folder.

It is not your fault. You have great ideas and in principle there is nothing wrong with an ICO. It is because of all the ICO scams that people have zero tolerance for any risk. They work out their "insurance" (buy wall) and when there is no immediate profit they are not willing to take the risk and immediately cash in on their insurance. They probably say they are not willing to wait and see if you will deliver on your promise as statistics say your site will probably be gone in two days and your account become inactive, although that is probably not what will happen. The good guys always suffer because of the bad guys.

It is understandable that you don't get part 2 of an ICO since you also did not understand the basic principle of part 1 of an ICO. Part 2 works as follows: People dont care about your site or being able to pay with CAID even though it is a great and bold idea. It is all about quick profit. If the price does not immediately go up after an ICO ends, people get jittery and lose interest and then dump into the buy wall - this normally takes between 15min and a few hours. CAID saving grace is it is 100% buy wall meaning that people will stick around a little longer to see if the price goes up since there is enough to cover everyone. If it was not 100% buy wall the wall would have been gone long ago. If the price does not go up soon for some reason the wall should be gone just about right before the ICO holding period ends.

What are you trying to do? Do you want to setup your local wallet as a node?

Dev you have answered other questions but not this one. I know the answer but would like you to answer this out of your own.

Where does the money come from that forms the buy wall at 10 sats?

If we take a step back from programming, in a way life can be seen as an algorithm and in the algorithm of life the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer which widens the gap and as a result the poor becomes discriminated against even further. This can also be applied to crypto where those with lots of money to acquire hash power will become richer and the those that cannot afford it becomes poorer. In the POS context those with lots of money to get lots of coins will become richer by staking and those that cannot afford lots of coins will become poorer. This is partly what causes the rush to new coins that we always see where people with little resources try to mine coins quickly at low diff because later they wont be able to afford it and soon large farms are onto a new coin.

I don't think it is easy to solve this part of discrimination in life, but it is possible though to collect wealth with little resources with enough planning and being smart about it, eg. by seeing opportunities others don't or by regular saving of small amounts and by your retirement age what seems to have been small amounts are suddenly a large amount.

The floor trading price for CAID will be determined by the price the dev pegs CAID against the equivalent BTC price of a service. Introducing an alt for payment is most efficient with a service like in this case because the service provider can subsidize the input cost in the form of time. If it was goods, the initial losses in input cost would have been real in the form of cost of materials. A service that cost an equivalent of 0.1 BTC in the market must therefore be switched to 1,000,000 CAID to be equal to the ICO price of 10 sats. Any amount of CAID less than that for the service will increase the trading price and any amount more than that will take the floor price below ICO price. Supply could also play a role and lets assume most coins are staked and not many coins are available on the market and spekulators drive the price up - in this case if the price goes too high over the pegged price and it becomes more expensive to buy CAID, the consumer will go to a competitor for a similar service at the BTC price. If the price falls below the pegged price everyone will cash in their CAID for services and fall in line. If the dev differentiates its services through either time to market, quality or uniqueness, the price can go up because the increased price will reflect the premium consumers is willing to pay.

All else being equal, it therefore depends heavily on how much time and effort the dev will be willing and can accommodate to put in to service all the requests. Eg. for argument sake if 0.1 BTC is pegged at 1,000,000 CAID and all ICO is expensed on that service, he must have the capacity to service 100 requests. In reality that will not be maxed out at any time and it will probably end up at around 20 requests on average if you strip out staking and normal market speculation which will reduce the workload.

The inflation is on the high side but can be offset with higher initial adoption and if the dev has the resources to service the growth in requests in a timely manner.
