21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ZOOZ] La’Zooz: Decentralized Collaborative Transportation Web on: May 30, 2015, 09:27:36 PM

From La'Zooz white paper draft to be published tomorrow:
Since the La'Zooz community intends to create a token that will be used for transportation needs on a daily basis, our final aim is to create a token with minimal change in price so users will be using the token instead of holding to it. To do this, we will implement at a later stage a stabilizing mechanism using one of several options already being under development.
Two options the La’Zooz community is exploring these days -

In short, the future protocol aims to create a situation that the zooz token has a stable price while early contributors (such as the token sale purchasers, and early developers) are rewarded by the fact that the amount of zooz tokens in their wallet increases.

Unlike other crypto tokens, the amount of Zooz tokens is not capped nor fixed and more tokens will be issued in later times upon demand of users, needing more tokens for their rides.

At this stage the details of the future protocol are still a work in progress. Furthermore, we believe that the future protocol will be ideal to use when the community will grow significantly and reach closer to the critical mass of users needed for the service to run.
At present time, as the community is still rather small, we use a transitional protocol which we believe is more suitable for this early stage in a way it is supporting the needs of development the community is facing at this stage.

More info about this protocol will be published tomorrow...

Is it at all related to this?

Quicksilver Community:

Over the past month I have been in discussions with the team at La’Zooz regarding potential opportunities for collaboration between La’Zooz and Quicksilver. They share a common vision with us, on revolutionizing the transportation industry through the power of decentralization and the blockchain.

We held a very productive conference call with their team earlier this week, and I am excited about what the future holds for Quicksilver, La’Zooz, and the very way in which society views transportation.
The Quicksilver team will be working with La’Zooz in the coming weeks, as we collaborate to move all of us one step closer to achieving our common goal. This goal is a lofty one, and working alongside like-minded individuals and projects is an important step on the road to success.

As both projects continue to move forward, please take this opportunity to learn more about our friends at La’Zooz, their innovative ideas about ride sharing, and their upcoming crowd sale. You can learn more about the La’Zooz project at Lazooz.org!

Thank you for your support over these past months, and I look forward to your continued support as we create a new chapter for the smart transportation industry.

I will also add another 2500 to the logo winner, Dev once the winner is announced give me their address and ill send.

Great idea! I will chip in 2500 PKB to the logo winner too.

Thanks, I will increase my bounty to 5000, plus 2500 from donnyespo and notsofast, 10,000PKB bounty for the winning logo design



Hey I want to help contribute too!! If it's okay I'd like to throw in an additional 2500 PKB to make to total bounty 12,500 PKB. Hope that's okay  Grin

Some new development here?

Not yet.

hahah I honestly just appreciate your honestly Wink

Yes, not too many care for that these days, they like to hear lies and fictional promises of riches. Goat is not different from any other altcoin, it has a working client, working herdnodes, and active dev. They only look at the price, as if it's not them selling cheap, and it's my fault for not buying all the coins to give them free btc. People in crypto know the game, and when they make profit, they do not forget to shit on the dev on the way out, but if they lose, guess what they will also shit on the dev on the way out. Win or lose it's you buying and selling your goats.


Very much agree with a lot of what you said man. 

Obviously there are many situations in which the dev should be chewed out or shat on but in most cases theyre used as a scapegoat (no goat pun intended). It shouldn't be your, or any other developers, sole responsibility to create value for a coin. In my opinion it should and needs to be a joint collaboration between the developer(s) and community. Also when the community contributes to a coin's success, most will actually be more inclined to hold during short term price swings, in either direction, and look to make plays on true, larger trends.

That's the problem we face here. People are relying on you to do something or release some feature that will give added value to coin with the intent to sell immediately for a relatively small profit. Promising flashy features or creating pretty graphics is not the difficult part, its solidifying and strengthening the network that takes the most time and effort.

I want to add more but need to head out now, but will check back in later maybe with another post

One good news is that SFR is listed under the "Verified Markets" tab on Bittrex.
So I guess there is no danger of de-listing anymore ?!

Wait, is that what that means? If so, great news!

Can anyone verify?
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin GANGSTERS poll - who willl rot in prison for scam? on: May 21, 2015, 04:44:54 AM
Most epic fraud of the year = asiacoin. I admit when Gox was robbed, or Zetacoin really didn't have the deal with Safaricom, I already knew that, but I still feel for those people that didn't do the research or trusted the wrong people. With Asiacoin, nobody out there warned anyone. It was a madness lasting between 1-10 of march. They secretly premined 30 billion coins and partially dumped for a few hundreds btc.


LOLLLLLL

Please add BootstrapCoin and BootstrapCoinDev to the list if it's not too late. He just scammed btc out of a bunch of people on an ico for his coin. Then he double attacked the coin, inflated the supply of the coin, and tried to dump it on an exchange.

Here's a link to EmpoEx summarizing what happend with evidence/chat logs with dev: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1054705.0

They ended up closing the market and everyone who bought into the ico is now holding worthless coins.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [SFR] SaffronCoin | Latest Version - 1.4.2/2.6.2 | Mandatory Wallet Update on: May 21, 2015, 04:25:18 AM
Edit: Updated with latest information, since we managed to bring Scrypt back to life!

I decided to compile a list of pools still in operation for the 5 algorithms, and on the correct blockchain, as the OP is a mess of dead links, and bad pools.

SFR Algo Healthcheck
Groestl, Sha and Blake are regularly generating blocks and in good health as they have active regular miners.
Scrypt has not regularly been generating blocks for the past month, due to high difficulty and not enough miners. Effort has been made today following this post to start mining Scrypt again, and several blocks have been found on Scrypt in the past 12 hours since this post. The difficulty has been successfully reduced to 6, making it once again possible to mine more easily.
x11 has no working pools that I can find, and therefore apparently no miners, and the difficulty is probably too high to solo mine. We need a new X11 pool so we can start mining again and bring the difficulty down to a more appropriate level.

The great strength of multi-algo coins, is that that despite 2 algorithms being in poor health before today, 3 have been in good health, meaning the coin still functions perfectly. Multi-algo coins have always been under appreciated, and Saffroncoin is probably the best one out there, despite the lack of progress from the dev in recent months and a low price, it is still fundamentally a solid, well developed coin.

Working Pools

X11
No known pools!

SCRYPT
Active miners: https://hamsterpool.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=pool&coin=sfr_scrypt


GROESTL
No active miners: https://www.miners-pool.eu/#!/pools/saffroncoin-groestl
Despite the lack of an active pool, Groestl algo is still in good health and regularly generating blocks, presumably from solo miners not using a pool (or a pool I'm unaware of).


SHA-256D
Active miners: http://ispace.co.uk/coindetails/?coin=sfr
Active miners: https://hamsterpool.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=pool&coin=sfr_sha256


BLAKE256
Active miners: https://www.miners-pool.eu/#!/pools/saffroncoin

If you know any more pools which are still working, let me know so I can update the above.


This is great! Thanks for taking the time to put this together Smiley Hopefully maybe Rosh will see this and update the OP...





I feel like I got trolled, honestly. Why keep giving specific release dates and not only fail to release anything but also keep quiet about it? Are the other devs, besides Roshan, even part of this coin anymore? Did UnoCoin take precedent over SFR development, Roshan? These are genuine questions, and I'm not trying to vilify you even if it seems that way. We need the old Rosh and SFR dev team back.

I'm right here with you crypto. I honestly i have no idea what to think, which is something probably common for a lot of people around this thread. I would be ecstatic if Rosh were to post an update explaining everything, but I don't think that's going to happen or at least any time soon. Given how things have progressed the past couple months, it appears that Rosh is only updating this thread occasionally/rarely or whenever he has time. So i wouldn't expect that to change any time soon, and if he starts posting more regularly again, i'd expect/hope things to stay that way.

But the reason for his absence, or appeared absence, as of now is pure speculation. No one has any idea exactly what is up with Roshan or SaffronCoin. Some make assumptions, or educated guesses, on what might be and some very well might be true, but at least for me I'm still giving Rosh the benefit of the doubt, for better or for worse. The money i lost with SFR's price decline, i've already accepted it and moved on. Probably like many here, this coin had gone somewhat beyond the typical p/l as many of us truly care(d) about the future and success of SFR.

Roshan for over 6 months was one of the best altcoin developers, taking into account skills, accountability, and communication. I know for months now he's been MIA and everything looks bad, and I could be completely wrong, but SFR has risen from the ashes before, and just for me, i'm not personally giving up on it quite yet.

(BTW crypto all that was not directed at you specifically, just mainly voicing my opinions Smiley You know how i feel about all of this man, but i just don't think we're getting an update unfortunately).

If people just sell a little bit of SFR to themself it wont get delisted. I just sold 10k to myself. Every little bit helps!

LOL i do the same thing every so often Wink

Lets keep this coin alive till Saffroncoin wakes up from hibernation Smiley

31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ParkByte [PKB] ~60day POW SHA then 100% POS on: May 18, 2015, 11:26:25 PM
IMPORTANT

I have noticed something, you may like it or you may not, but it is what it is and it will change the POW phase.

As I previously said in one of the previous posts POW will end at block 89000, we are currently on block 39046 with 3.6million PKB in supply.

Because of the POS blocks we have now mined 1.6m PKB mined in 39k blocks, guesstimating this would give us the following: 1.6m * 2.2 = ~3.5m (a new estimated 5.5m POW supply, before burning the premine to 20%)

As I said in previous posts, we won't be forking the coin to manipulate the coin supply but I will obviously burn the premine down to 20% of the actual total POW coins to keep that inline with the original plan.

I would therefore say we are around 45% the way through POW ...

Thoughts?  Embarrassed


So basically because of the amount of staking, POW is going by faster than you anticipated and we should end up with less coins in total than you originally estimated? Since there will less coins in total (due to shorted POW) and the original premine was based on a percentage of the estimated total coins, you will burn the extra coins due to smaller supply in order to maintain your original premine percentage?

If i'm understanding correctly, I'm totally fine with your plan you. It seems you are just pointing out that the premine will be a larger percentage due to smaller total supply, so in an effort to remain transparent and fair, you are going to burn the extra coins so that the original premine percentage matches the acutal total supply.
 

Yes that is correct. I posted this shortly after discussing this with the dev who coded the coin so it doesn't come as a suprise to everyone and to remain as transparent as possible.

Looking at CryptoID explorer POS has taken 73% of the last 1000 blocks, it could slow down but personally I do not think it will.

I appreciate the openness, and im sure many others in the community do as well. It actually speaks a lot about your team that even without any pressure from the community, you guys already had plans to burn the extra coins. Many other coins have had similar situations with premines and chose not to do the honorable thing, so much appreciated Smiley I think it shows that your team isn't here for the quick profit, which really does help build some trust.

Also don't think POS blocks will slow down either Wink I know at least for me, i'm just trying to catch more dumps on yobit and send them to my wallet to stake!

Thanks, I wasn't sure how it would go down and do expect some complaints to follow but it is best to get any potential problems out there as soon as possible and deal with them.


I really don't think you'll get too many complaints, or at least right now. Maybe it will be brought up by some sock puppet/ fud accounts later down the road, but i can't imagine anyone making too big of a fuss over it now.

So people who were strongly against the premine at the beginning, i can only imagine them being happy because a portion of the premine is being offered to be burned. And for the people that may have reluctantly accepted or have been apathetic towards the premine, i'd assume they would only be happy as well that some of the premine was being destoryed.

lol maybe i'm just too optimistic but i can't honestly think of a negative or possible complaint towards burning a portion of the premine, except for the fact that the premine exists.

During the next week we are going to show you an explanation of the Droidz Services.

Thanks for the patience.


You can't build a robot in one day.

Thanks for the update, very much appreciated. Bought into the ICO, obviously below that price now but don't care too much. What happened, happened. It would have been better to buy coins off exchange post-ICO and not during it. But nothing has changed fundamentally to the coin to convince me to sell, so i will continue to hold and support Smiley

Dev, continue doing what you're doing, try to ignore some of the naysayers, and i look forward to what you guys have to release.

Also if DRZ will truly succeed, the price difference between a couple thousand satoshi and a couple hundred satoshi will seem a lot smaller than it does now.

yet 20% premine from this clown is perfectly acceptable? What am I missing here?

Not condoning the premine just saying its 20% of mineable coins but only a mere 8% of total estimated supply  Wink
