Dev are working hard and we are patient.

I agree. That is why I'm buying and holding Expanse for long term as it will certainly bring new and exciting features in the near future. Right now, it is the perfect opportunity to buy more at cheap prices because maybe the price would go up once everything else is settled. Expanse's cheap price is definitely good compared to Ether, now that I am able to test dapps much cheaper than doing so in Ethereum.  Cheesy

I can see sell orders. BTW, everyone please consider moving over to alcurex. They have no KYC and we need to build up the book there.

BTW, it looks like the client changes are 99% done. We need to fix a couple missing arrow icons and couple other really minor asthetic items. You guys will get to start playing with it in a day or so.

Great news. It's first major step to show people that You guys are serious and CasinoCoin is heading towards FIAT casinos.
I am loving the new wallet more and more after every new build i make Wink  .... its not only the new UI that is so much better but also all the new and unique features we are building into it. Last thing on my list is the implementation of information on Exchanges that support Casinocoin. The API is already ready, we only need to build the list view renderer.

I think it would be nice to have about 5 testers before we do a public release, .... i will create a windows installer for this release, Linux and OSX will follow later. Sent me a PM if your interested in testing ....

Those are really exciting news. I cannot wait for the new release of the CasinoCoin wallet. New features and UI update will definitely attract more people to get into CSC. I wish the best of all for the CasinoCoin community and Happy Thanksgiving! Cheesy

Thanks for sharing this useful link. Exactly how does staking difficulty work? The more difficultly there is on the network, the less staking reward you will get, or is the reward based on stake weight? Sorry for asking, I'm very familiar with coin staking.  Grin

I find it useful to view things in terms of proportion when it comes to POS, especially POS 2.0.  View things in terms of percentages rather than raw absolute numbers.

The answer to your question is yes, when staking difficulty rises you will get lower rewards.  Not because the block reward of 20,000 changes, but because there is more competition on the network and you represent a smaller percentage of the total coins staking.

There are 1350 blocks mined per day, each rewarding 20,000 LDOGE.  If 100% of all LDOGE is being staked 24/7 and you are staking 1% of all LDOGE, you should expect to hit on average 13.5 blocks per day.  BUT we know not 100% of all coins will ever be staking 24/7.  If only 50% of the total coins are staking every day rather than 100% and you stake your same 1% of coins 24/7, you should expect to get 2% of new blocks or an average of 27 blocks per day.

By counting the number of blocks I mined in the past 24 hours, comparing it to the number of blocks I should expect to mine if 100% of LDOGE were being staked, and doing some quick and dirty math I can roughly estimate that about 63% of all LDOGE was actively staking in the last 24 hours.

So, if you want to get an idea of how many coins you can expect per day, use this formula IF you will be able to stake 24/7. 

((Your total # of LDOGE) / (The total # of LDOGE in existence, found by entering 'getinfo' in the console in case you weren't aware)) x 1350 x 20000 x 1.582

The 1.582 represents a multiplier that reflects my rough estimate of 63% of coins actively staking.

Thanks for sharing this useful information. I think I'm going to stake my LiteDoge full time on my Raspberry Pi 2 running 24/7. Also, I would buy a very huge amount of them for staking and see how much I would earn (as they are really cheap right now)  Grin

As of now, the new Ambercoin wallet works perfectly fine on my Windows 10 laptop. I'm syncing the wallet, so it would take me a few hours for me to see my full balance. I'll let you know anything else when it finishes syncing.  Smiley

By the way, would it be possible to get an Ambercoin wallet for Android and iOS as well? It would certainly be great if you would be able to store them and stake them on your mobile device.  Cheesy

New altcoins may lead into a huge profit and turn into a nightmare to invest,soo advice is avoid the most of new coins,must keep an eye on the oldest as doge,looks it went dowm maybe a good time to make a stock of them ,even being penies now it can get 50% soo into crypto world or anywhere is very good see your investment reach such return,there is others coins as ltc ,eth is high risk,recent news make it crash bad management with a huge potencial.Always research about the coin you wanna to invest at .

That statement is certainly true. But among the large list of all coins, there are only a few that provide innovation. Take a look at NXT or Ethereum. The provide better technology (maybe than Bitcoin) and faster transactions. Even still, Bitcoin will stay in the long term as the king of crypto currencies, but I'm pretty sure that there would be alt coins that will survive in the future. Just my opinion.  Wink

do we have some web wallet for magi?

thanks

Why i never think on it before? thats a good question, we should have a web wallet for Magi.

Great idea man, i think that would be so cool if we can implement it on our current website or somewhere else, but definitely we should have it Wink
Thanks for the nice words. Magi had webwallets on staisybit.com but it looks like that one is offline.
Magi will look into others options for that.

A web based wallet for Coin Magi would be an excellent idea. Also, it would be great to stake coins on the Web wallet itself and be able to lend Magi to gain interest as well. Then, maybe a Magi Debit Card would be released soon...Just got inspired by so many amazing ideas.  Roll Eyes
Received message from Staisybit.com Webwallets and Staking back online. Test it.

https://staisybit.com/

The wallet works perfectly on Chrome browser running in Windows 10. I've also tried it on an Android Tablet and everything works great. I can see my current balance and the cloud staking contracts that I'm currently into. The interface looks awesome and functional. This is pretty awesome.  Cheesy

If you have money in a bank they're not yours, you know that. If you have Bitcoins on the Blockchain and you own the keys those are really your Bitcoins.

Example:

try to move, let's say 150000$ (and let's assume you have them) from your bank to anywhere else be prepared to say why you're moving those funds!

Now, try to move 150000BTC: easy, BTC does not care if you move 1 or 1000000!

Your bank does! And, of course, your government...

Exactly. While banks are regulated by the government watching every move on your transactions and imposing limits, with Bitcoin you have freedom to deposit any amount no matter how big or small because there is no central authority. You have complete control of your own money.  Cheesy

Nice one Abiky,

App we have (price ticker)

On Cryptsy too, just as WC not XWC

Thanks for adding your suggestions

Well, Cryptsy is an exchange but what I meant with decentralized marketplace, would be something sort of like ebay, but with no central authority and the ability to buy items with your Whitecoin.  Wink

P.S. The Whitecoin Price Ticker for Android is great, but I would like to see a Whitecoin wallet for it someday in the future. By the way, what is the dev's name here on BCT? Is he or she still active?  Huh

Oizopower is the man working on XWC, he is active but undoubtedly busy. As Oizo himself has stated one of the major issues our coin is facing is a lack of skilled individuals to implement the improvements and plans that are put forward (like yours).

 

Thanks for the information. Do you think it is safe to buy a millionth Whitecoin by now? I want to help the Whitecoin network, thus I will buy lots of them (since they are dirt cheap) and stake them to support the network. Then, I would think of something to promote XWC and increase awareness.  Grin

I was thinking the developers might want to

That's something i'am looking a long time for something like that. Because I also like to play poker online! Playing poker with Magi would be awesome!

And maybe then Magi would be accepted anywhere in Physical casinos. I could imagine playing Poker on a real casino and making my bets with Coin Magi. That would be a pretty good idea. Don't you think so?  Roll Eyes
Would be great. Personally I really like to play poker online also. Magi will try to get added on pokerwebsites or maybe somebody could make a pokerwebsite.
The exchange page on www.coinmagi.org is updated. There are more updates in progress!

That is absolutely fantastic. I love the way Magi is heading. Soon it will go to the moon and it would become the most popular crypto currency out there. I'm still looking for a physical Magi coin. If it could be made, I would gladly pay some BTC to have this nice coin for my collection.  Grin

11673  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Are HDD minable alt coins profitable at all? on: November 23, 2015, 05:51:05 PM
the other two are dead is seems, burst is the only one, it was profitable at launch now not anymore, they should do a coin like this based on the speed of the hd disk instead of the capacity
we could reduce the consumption even farther and less space and ram for the computer, i'm waiting for it to be released

Burst was decent but storage mining is way too centralized considering how some businesses have massive amounts of storage at their disposal.

And the problem with decentralized storage like Storj is that it requires decent upload bandwith which is an issue for most people.

yeah that's why we need speed based coins with storage, which would then move the problem on who have the more money like bitcoin, but it would be better than having a centralized coin

the other two are dead is seems, burst is the only one, it was profitable at launch now not anymore, they should do a coin like this based on the speed of the hd disk instead of the capacity
we could reduce the consumption even farther and less space and ram for the computer, i'm waiting for it to be released

Exactly. I was thinking of such a coin, perhaps an improvement on Burst's mining algorithm (like Burst 2.0)? Anyways, I was looking into Storj and based on their earnings calculator, it looks very profitable. Even still, Sia looks interesting as well.  Roll Eyes  You can check it out here: https://sia.tech/

ramdisk would be very relevant also, so it would extended the usage outside the ssd enviroment

Reading speed and storage go hand in hand depending on how much data we're talking about. And if the data is so little that it can fit into a ramdisk while most people have 4-8 GB of RAM then servers with hundreds of gigs are way ahead again and we'll end up using GPU memory for it pretty fast.

How about using the Wifi speed combined with HDD space and speed. The more faster is your internet connection, the more you will mine and the same way goes to your HDD with speed and space. A crypto like this would be pretty neat. Anyways, there is still much to be improved on Burst and other Proof of Capacity coins.  Grin

Will Ethereum be able to implement Proof of Stake on Ethers? I think it would be a great idea to stake Ethers (like a bank account which earns you interest) as this would make it more energy efficient than mining them with a GPU. Still there is a lot to be developed on, and maybe in the next 2 to 3 years we would be able to see Ethereum's true potential. This is an excting journey for Ethereum.  Cheesy

I've been lending mine on Polo for interest Cool

Could you advise me on how to do such thing? This looks pretty interesting, but I do not know how to do that on the Poloniex exchange. Sorry for asking, I'm still not familiar with how Poloniex works. I use Cryptsy most of the time.  Smiley

I just started doing this myself after I saw this video.  The video is a bit rough, but should give you a good idea how the Lending area works.

I started this video link around the point where he started talking about Lending.

This is a great video. It helped me get a better understanding of how Poloniex lending works. This is pretty amazing. That means I could start lending my ETH and gain interest in return. I'm going to try this at the weekend and see how good it goes.  Grin

Me too Smiley Fortunately I have just stake my 46k coin age (worth 31 AMBER before update, will worth only 9 AMBER after update) today, so that I won't loss my stake due to lower interest Smiley

I as well would like to see the new wallet. Exciting things for Ambercoin are about to come and I think this is only the beginning.

What happened to LiteDoge exchanges? I tried going to the Bittrex exchange site, but it looks like they have removed the LDOGE to BTC market. All I get is a message stating that the Page could not be found. Any hints? Also, I've checked Coinmarketcap, but on the markets list there is 0% volume trading on all of them. Is this coin dead already?  Huh

LDOGE is currently trading on Yobit and Cryptopia.  It's a shame that bittrex delisted due to inactivity, but that is because most are staking the coin right now.  It has currently been raising in difficulty to the highest level of difficulty that it has ever been at.  Fewer are selling and instead staking.  Bittrex does not like that because they make less money off of people holding their coins rather then selling.

Now that is a relief, but I can still see that Coinmarketcap has not updated its market stats, so all it says is that LDOGE has 0% volume trading on all markets. That is why I thought it was dead. Any ideas on how to to know current staking difficulty?

what pow?

Cuckoo Cycle

https://github.com/tromp/cuckoo

is this something like scrypt-n but for sha256 to counteract asic? i seen somethign about memory there

sha256 is the simplest choice of compute-bound hash function in the Hashcash Proof of Work.
scrypt-n is an attempt to make the hash function require lots of memory but fails in three ways:
1) scrypt allows trading off memory for time
2) the larger n, the slower the hash computation, quickly making it unsuitable for fast verification
3) scrypt is still rather computation heavy

In Cuckoo Cycle computation is minimized and you spend most time waiting for memory.
You can scale memory use to the GB range while remaining instantly verifiable.
Trading off memory for time is not so feasible, incurring an extra order-of-magnitude slowdown.


All these ideas and features of the new Cuckoo Cycle algorithm, makes me think that we will be soon seeing CuckooCoin around. It will be better than most SHA-256 and Scrypt coins out there. This will make more memory efficient.  Grin

It's not even that new.

I published/announced it in early January 2014,
and in May 2014, courtesy of David Andersen,
the miner reached its current, presumably near-optimal form.

I thought it was new, since I have never heard of such algorithm. It is a good thing I stay updated with the latest innovations in the crypto world right here on BCT. Thanks for sharing this information.  Wink
