I will trade you some Hobonickels for CompoundCoin, InflationCoin, RAIN, POSCoin (very active community), and/or HodlCoin(one of the coolest wallets, doesn't need to be on to get good returns). My Hobonickels wallet Ei5N4vJJV1CNXiipLPHujFF88CDsrGzzcg We could keep this economy going. I do like these staking coins and wrote started writing a book about them: https://telicalbooks.com/Staking_Book_RSPearson.htmlbut glad I didn't release it as a lot of them went down. It's cool that you wrote a book about staking coins! I do recognize that feeling. I was asked to write a 'crypto for beginners' book once, but I wouldn't want to encourage people to throw away their money on dog tokens or something like that. And thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested in trading at the moment. My money's spread thin and wide already. I'll keep those coins in mind when I have time for more research. |

Hey friends, happy anniversary!  HOBONICKELS IS 10 YEARS OLD TODAYOur favorite coin was announced and launched on July 24, 2013. Thanks to thundertoe, Tranz, ahmed_bodi and everyone who helped to make this happen. Who'd expect a joke coin to last this long, with no development at all in the past 5 years? It goes to show how resilient a coin can be, as long as a few people keep believing in it. Almost forgot to post this because I was distracted by Orbcoin and other dystopian shit. Of course that was a good reason to mention it on Twitter. HBN is the real world-wide currency for the people, there's enough coins for everyone, because we keep making more. I'm happy that we have a fully functional block explorer again thanks to dnp. Note that it includes a rich list on the Metrics tab and a node list on the Network tab. I'm seeing one node in Ukraine and one in Russia, so we're doing what we can for world peace. Anyway, it wouldn't be Hobonickels if we had perfectly organized celebrations. My favorite moment was when Fluffypony of all people took this too seriously and called the devs amateurs for not putting the code on Github immediately.  General question: What was your favorite moment in Hobonickels history? |

I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but while the dot info site disappeared, there's a new Hobonickels website: https://hobonickels.io/I think this is from the same guy who runs the Twitter account and who made the HOBO token on Ethereum. In this case, he did a good job. It's a decent site which links to the code and binaries on Github, as well as a recent snapshot. We could have a working explorer if someone wants to pay $15 a month to http://explorer.dognose.net:3011/ (that's a demo version now). For inspiration, here's some quotes from Horus (the crypto hobo), to whom this coin was dedicated: I'm a terrible trader. Technically, with my job, I can't really talk about investing and stuff like that, but even if I could, people wouldn't want my advice. I end up bagholding a lot, I just hold coins and hold coins and hold coins.
A lot of the time, pumping just means giving your money to better traders.
I remember watching some Wall Street traders coming in, some day traders. And they were just mystified, they lost their shirt right off the hop. Because they weren't used to such volatile markets. And they weren't used to 24/7 markets, they were used to markets closing at a certain time, and the place not changing.
When the Bitcoin price was around $250: My uncle actually bought a bitcoin when it was 800. And now every time he calls me, he throws in a reminder that he bought a bitcoin at 800.
There's no quick 5-minute talk on Bitcoin. It's a multiple-hour discussion, when you're trying to talk to somebody about Bitcoin, not convince them, but just describe it. Their minds are so set in the traditional banking system, that they can't wrap their heads around it. It almost sounds to good to be true at first, and they don't buy it. Or too bad to be true, it depends on how they look at it.
These quotes are from an interview with Rick Stoner on his online radio show Doged Radio, undated but probably from March 2015. |

I think in the next bull market there will be a new wave of blockchain memento collectors interested in antique curiosities like this coin. Just like there was for "Historical NFTs."
Yes, I agree, even more so now that people are rediscovering that you can create NFTs and tokens on Bitcoin. It would be so cool if we could reach the 10 year anniversary in July. You can create a thousand tokens, but such a history is unique. Recently, I've been doing research in order to write about Hobonickels, and even from public sources there's so much lore... I'll try to do *whatever it takes* to keep Hobonickels alive, but I have limited means. The first thing we need is more nodes. I don't really care about the price. HBN is meant to be cheap, fast and plentiful. That's what keeps it fun. If it ever becomes an investment like Dogecoin, I'll sell. As CoinEraser said, I can't recommend Unnamed Exchange either. There were some weird shenanigans with blocked withdrawals last year. So we need to rely on Freiexchange, where the price range is currently limited to 0, 1 or 2 sats. |

Is the network dying or am I on a losing fork? I only see 4 to 6 peers, and some of my minting transactions are not accepted.
OK, apparently my problem was that my stake was too low. My minting transactions do usually get confirmed after I bought more coins on Freiexchange. @paramind22 I guess you noticed that. Thanks for the IP list. Last month, I noticed we went from 4 to 6 nodes, but a lot of coins must have stopped staking. Suddenly, I went from minting a few times a day to about every 10 minutes. Today, my wallet says it's not staking because it can find only 2 nodes. Did somebody forget to restart their node after maintenance? There was another Windows update on Tuesday. |

The good news is that we reached 7 million blocks. There might be some bad news too. Is the network dying or am I on a losing fork? I only see 4 to 6 peers, and some of my minting transactions are not accepted.  If you're getting more than a handful of peers, can you post some good IP addresses to seed from? My node is running on an old Windows laptop which sometimes goes offline for updates. Can't do much more to keep the chain alive except post about it. Is it possible to run HBN on Linux?  |

Zie ik je op donderdagavond 9 mei weer in Bar De Stadstuin? Europalaan 20 in Utrecht, van 19 tot 21 uur. De 3e Monero Meetup Utrecht gaat over de geschiedenis van Monero, de vertrouwelijke cryptovaluta die in april vijf jaar bestond. Ik vertel het verhaal van Monero aan de hand van 10 sleutelmomenten. 5 momenten was het plan, maar er is te veel gebeurd. Het begon met een mysterieus genie dat samenwerkte met een stel oplichters, gevolgd door een opstand tegen de oprichter. En daarna liep het uit de hand. Vergeet niet om je aan te melden voor deze meetup, of de volgende van 11 juli: https://www.meetup.com/monero-meetup-utrecht-nl/Zie ook onze poster: https://github.com/ProkhorZ/monero-meetup-utrecht/tree/master/03 |

Nieuws voor de liefhebbers van privacy, crypto, bier en bitterballen: op donderdagavond 10 januari organiseer ik de eerste Monero Meetup Utrecht in Bar De Stadstuin, Europalaan 20, van 19.00 tot 21.00 uur. Om te beginnen kijken we eens naar Monero-apps voor op je telefoon: Wat kun je ermee doen? Welke apps zijn betrouwbaar? En we kunnen ze meteen uitproberen. Neem iets leuks mee dat je voor een symbolisch bedrag wilt verkopen. Meetup.com vond het thema Monero Market te commercieel en heeft mijn meetup-groep verwijderd. Maar we laten ons natuurlijk niet door een gecentraliseerd netwerk censureren. Poster:  Ik houd een kort praatje over de geschiedenis van mobiel betalen met XMR, en hoe het dankzij Bulletproofs mogelijk is om voor de lol betalingen te doen met lage transactiekosten. En ik wil zelf graag eens bij iPhone-gebruikers kijken hoe de iOS-apps werken. Maar het gaat vooral om gezelligheid. Tips voor eten vooraf. Je kunt voor en achter het gebouw De Stadstuin gratis parkeren. Met het openbaar vervoer is de bushalte Anne Frankplein of Balijebrug dichtbij. Meer informatie op Reddit. Volgende meetups zijn ook op donderdagavond gepland, eens in de twee maanden: 14 maart, 9 mei en dan een zomerpauze. Het thema voor 14 maart is ASIC resistance. Kaart:  |

Monerujo is open source and as reliable as it gets. It's just a wrapper for the regular Linux wallet anyway. The Monero subreddit recommends Monerujo and warns that Freewallet is a scam. For long-term storage, you could create a written paper wallet using an offline address generator, so you don't need to connect to the blockchain at all. Of course you can't check your funds on a block explorer - that's a downside of Monero's anonymity in this case. |

outside this forum, twitter is the centre of the crypto universe all FST fans follow the main Fastcoin twitter account, like all the tweets, and retweet and tweet your own FASTCOIN tweets https://twitter.com/fast_coin. Shouldn't we also revive the subreddit? It looks so dead, I'm afraid to touch it...  |

Great design! Could you change the Dutch text to "Bloktijd: 12 seconden"? In "12 tweede bloktijd", tweede means second as in #2. Please don't use Google Translate for anything you publish. I'm a professional translator and I can tolerate amateur translations in open-source software, but machine translation will be gibberish. |

This coin is still the fastest and has the longest blockchain. Neither of those things are very useful for the purposes of being a currency, but they are novelties and they are definitely one of a kind. My thoughts are that one of a kind novelties are enough to maintain value, especially if you believe in blockchain tech.
We understand that our coin may not be "Perfect" but like Bitcoin and all the rest of them, for the purpose of storing and exchanging value, FST it is "Good Enough" to perform the task. Looking forward to getting past the teething stages of our coin, and moving on to much larger specific use cases. /C Yes, this was a significant quote. Besides the speed and the name, Fastcoin is fascinating as an experiment in 'naive scaling'. If Fastcoin can mine 50 times as many blocks as Bitcoin, imagine how large Bitcoin blocks could be... Of course, there are limits. It took me two weeks to download the blockchain from scratch on a new hard drive. We really need an SPV wallet, or a web wallet that saves the keys locally. In other words, a reliable method to use FST without downloading the entire blockchain (and I don't mean downloading a zip file). Someone said there's a mobile wallet. How does that work? The price has gone up 5x since I bought more FST in addition to my original holdings from years ago. But there's a long way to go, I want it to go up 100x. Let's look at the long term: it should be user-friendly before we start bothering major exchanges again. |

Name suggestion: Snarks. But there are more than 3 things wrong with Zcash: 4. Transparent transactions are allowed, enabled by default and even possible if the receiver wants to remain private. 5. The creation of a transaction is slow and resource-heavy. With regard to point 5, CredaCash claims to use a much more efficient hash, but that's hardly a real blockchain. It uses 'permissioned witnesses' instead of miners and will premine everything. Source: http://credacash.com/compare/ |

When the Voxelus VR Marketplace launches officially (April 19th), it will be the #1 VR content provider in the world. The only way to buy/sell anything there, is with Voxels.

Why would users choose a deliberately crippled platform where you could use only one kind of currency, controlled by a company? |
|
|
|
|
Hm, an in-game currency represented by Michael Terpin. It'll be just as successful as Munne!
|
|
|
|
btw, i don't expect an increase of value for munne with this alpha release imho, but maybe if Terpin work his magic it will. To me, the real game changer will be when there is a crypto-implementation of munne into the University and in the game, so a real usuability for this coin.
I agree. Patience is needed if you want Munne to do anything worthwhile. Looks strange no buyer and no vendors
I don't understand why some people are complaining about low trading volume instead of using this opportunity. Trading is fun when there's a large spread between bids and asks and the price goes up and down!   |
|

|

No, don't pull your sells - add some buy and sell orders on Bittrex, so we can keep the trading volume above the minimum. There's a big spread between bids and asks, which makes it easy to make money by trading on both sides.

Great to see the 7 stars, and the price is rebounding from 1600 to 2500 Minor feature request for the wallet: in the transaction view, could we have a drop down option to display both sent and received funds, but no mining? If you select 'All', the staking transactions are crowding out everything else. |

You can deposit ven at Kraken.com and trade XBT/XVN (Bitcoin vs. Ven) there. I'm not sure if this is available in all us states, but if you have an address in Montana, New Mexico or South Carolina (the "no money transmitter license" required states) it should work, I think.
Venmo is an app for paying in dollars, it's not related to the Ven currency In a brainstorming session, they came up with the “ven” from vendere, the Latin word for to sell, and “mo” from mobile. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-11-20/mobile-payment-startup-venmo-is-killing-cashIt's more like Apple Pay or TransferWise. I guess they have low costs because they process a high volume of transactions just like banks, without having to build the payment network like banks do. Using bitcoin could make these services cheaper, but it's not the low-hanging fruit. In the short term, they'll be competing with digital currency, and they're more efficient than banks, credit card companies or Western Union. In related news, major Dutch banks recently announced they were looking in to how blockchain technology could make settlements between banks more efficient.
