There is no official support on bitcointalk.
For official support visit the webpage or join the slack etc.

Theres not all that much to it, you just run an daemon like normal, use 'createminingaccount' once to create an account and 'setgenerate' to turn mining on/off.

createminingaccount "name"
Create an account, the currently active seed will be used to create the account.

Arguments:
1. "name"       (string) Specify the label for the account.


setgenerate generate ( gen_proc_limit )
Set 'generate' true or false to turn generation on or off.
Generation is limited to 'gen_proc_limit' processors, -1 is unlimited.
See the getgenerate call for the current setting.

Arguments:
1. generate         (boolean, required) Set to true to turn on generation, off to turn off.
2. gen_proc_limit   (numeric, optional) Set the processor limit for when generation is on. Can be -1 for unlimited.
3. gen_memory_limit (string, optional) How much system memory to use, specify a letter G/M/K/B to determine size e.g. 524288K (Kilobytes), 512M (Megabytes), 3G (Gigabytes), defaults to bytes if no specifier given . Empty for automatic selection.
4. account          (string, optional) The UUID or unique label of the account.

Please do -not- do this, just give the team some time/room to deal with it and await further news.

It's all about timing. Nobody is planning on spending the next 10 years 'making things perfect' but at the same time that doesn't mean an over emphasis on marketing without the fundamentals is the way to go either.
When the last bit of 'hype/bubble' came a few months ago we were not yet ready (despite having what some already think is the most usable mobile wallets in crypto), and it showed, we were flooded with support queries to a point where we almost couldn't cope, and make no mistake that little 'hype' was just a tiny taste of what might come if we were to really start pushing 'marketing'.

With 1.6 out we are now in a far better position - but make no mistake we are still not ready, if another 'hype/bubble' were to come right now a lot of the growth would be wasted as a result, for many people you only get 1 shot to make the right impression on them.

So forgive us if we want to take a bit longer to do things right, but we want to build something that will last here, not just fuel the next pump and dump. We are well on our way to where we need to be and it definitely isn't going to be 10 years - 2017 is going to be truly exciting - but we are not at that point yet, thats the honest truth.

Despite what some people here seem to be trying to claim - we are not morons living in some bubble oblivious to the realities of the world.
Rijk knows what he is doing he is a good leader, he knows how to listen to other people when it is important and also how to ignore other people when it is important, and both of these are very important leadership traits. Waterloodown has a lot of experience, in my own capacity I have a lot of experience I work not just a programmer but have co-owned my own company for 10 years now...  As a team we have a huge wealth of real world experience to draw from.
And then there is the community a lot of whom also have lots of experience and who we listen too when appropriate.

So I do hope that when most people take a look at what we have done so far, they will be able to think "Hey these guys haven't done badly so far, maybe they have a plan", because anything else is honestly quite insulting. if you hate our work so far then fine go ahead and insult us, but if you like our work a little bit of faith/respect would be nice

All of our full real identities are public knowledge, pretty much the entire community knows or has been exposed to them at some point in time or another - my name for example is sprinkled all over our source code.
I don't comment on premine details.
I will say that if it were going to be dumped it would probably have already happened, it would have been dumped a few months ago when the price was high, and we would all have then run away to an island somewhere. I don't think the behaviour of anyone involved is suspicious at all and I think that should be enough for people, if it isn't then I'm afraid there is nothing I can do to change that

Buerra is not part of the dev team he is part of Nocks, Nocks is a seperate company. The majority (almost all) of the code for the core wallets is currently done by myself, but there is no reason that this might not change in future, c_e_d assists with specific parts of the code, especially delta. Rijk and Waterloodown are roughly as you describe, though they do a lot more than you might think, there is a lot of decision making even at the code level that I involve them with for instance, and testing and so on and so forth - I certainly could not do what I do alone without the rest of the teams help. But yes we are not a massive team at this point in time.

That is a lot of questions, you'll have to ask the people directly involved, but in short no not a scam or anything like that, sometimes people just move on... (There can be many reasons for this - personal commitments, life changing events, marriage, kids, death, illness)

No I 'm not Dutch, but that does not make the coin not Dutch, the majority of the community is Dutch, if you were to come onto the Gulden slack (which now has around 2000 people on, mostly talking in Dutch) perhaps you would understand this better. A good dev team is of course super important but a coin is more than this, without the great community we have we could never have made the 1.6.0 release a reality.
To put it slightly differently using an example, if 2000 Dutch people get together, raise funds and hire someone from another country to work on something, does the fact that the person they have hired is not Dutch suddenly make the entire affair not Dutch? Or if a Dutch company hires an offshore programmer is their product now not Dutch? I do not think having a non-dutch programmer on the team really affects the identity of the coin in any way.

We did not have a very active reddit community in the past, and at some point (roughly 6-7 months ago) through a sequence of unfortunate events, a 'reddit request' to take over an 'inactive' reddit was granted - (without any warning) to a moderator from Litecoin who took it upon himself to steal our sub and is now pointing it at the litecoin one.
I'm not a huge reddit user myself so I don't fully understand why this was allowed, I think some loophole was abused (possibly to do with the fact that my account has very little karma and that the original mod decided to make me the only mod without me realising this.
Anyway, the Litecoin people seem intent on being childish and clinging onto it so not really much we can do for now, I don't know why they would behave in such a way (very childish), but I can only guess they must be really scared or desperate or something to have to do these sorts of things?

At the time I joined Gulden there was a lot of external pressure (I believe a lot of it probably came from trolls) on the dev team to adopt 'multi algo' as a solution (or at least the community thought it was a solution) to an issue Gulden was facing with lots of long block times, at some point in time (apparently) they met with Jared to discuss how it works, I can't comment on any of that as it was before I joined, there was a lot of politics and in fighting in the community at that time so it was a rather complicated situation - you'd have to research historical threads of the coin yourself if you really want to know more I guess.

I can only comment from my perspective as I am not worried about the past but only focused on the future.
From my perspective one of the first things I did upon joining Gulden was to analyse both 'multi algo' as well as various other possible solutions, and after looking in depth at 'multi algo' I had no choice but to reject it due to being what I can ultimately only describe as a flawed and inadequate 'solution', and to instead recommend a completely different path forward, one that we are still following and that I think is more and more starting to be seen by others to have been a good decision.

I personally have never ever had any dealings with Jared or Digibyte, other than a somewhat constant factor of their trolls harassing us and/or making ridiculous suggestions that I should work for them, and some attempts by some of their 'prominent' community members to hire me. I've certainly never consulted them, though I have assessed their code.

Why the other/previous team members 'consulted' him, well I can only speculate, but from what I understand the community asked them to do so, so they did it. What they knew then (In terms of Digibyte as well as various other things including block chains)  is substantially different from what they know now, I doubt they would do it now - but I can't speak for anyone else.

In short, I really don't think that other team members having had brief discussions with someone in the past has anything to do with my opinion in the present, and I stand by my opinion.

Version bits.



We no longer release the source for mobile wallets for now, the source for desktop wallets will continue to remain on Github as it has always been.

I'm personally a huge fan of open source in my private capacity and generally default to wanting to open source everything - but nothing is ever the right solution in all circumstances, it is wrong to just do things without first thinking about them, in this case after careful consideration we have realised that applying open source here just for the sake of it would not be the correct thing to do.

Reasons are multiple, I'm not going to go into all the details but in short we don't feel that anyone compiles mobile wallets anyway or that any of our actual mobile users are ever going to read the source code and that basically there is very little benefit to any of our mobile users from the code being open.
At the same time having this code open helps to prop up this toxic scam system that is the current "crypto community" and we don't want to be a part of that, as you can see (if you read a few posts above this, or anywhere in the last few pages of this topic) we endure constant attacks from various people within this toxic community whose only interest is short term profit at any cost and who have no interest in actually seeing Crypto become something that is adopted by the mainstream. While we aren't of course actively going to do anything against these coins we don't want to go out of our way to make it easy for them to copy us either.

This is of course quite possibly a temporary situation, we feel that in the next few years the crypto market is going to mature greatly, with coins like us leading the way with proper development the room for scammers to operate in is going to rapidly dry up, and at that point we might be quite happy to change our minds.

Yet the two coins you are most widely know to be associated with vary from bitcoin only by about a few thousand lines of code (probably an overestimate), and have stock bitcoin wallets, while the latest Gulden release alone (ignoring all previous releases) introduces over 25000 lines of new unique code (for just the desktop wallet and ignoring the 0.13 merge on top of that) and has a completely different interface.
Perhaps the word 'clone' means something different in your world?

Yet our source code is right there on github.


It doesn't bother me so much as I find it rather sad and pathetic, I would much rather see people turning out real projects with their time, but then based on how often you are incorrect here (6 out of your last 7 posts have contained objectively false information - and I had to correct you twice in your latest post alone) I guess you aren't capable of doing much constructive anyway.

You are obviously a troll with an agenda, and really I don't need to justify myself to you, if I say I won't ever work for something because it is a scam then I am entitled to that opinion. As soon as people from that coin stop making stupid comments that I should work for them I will happily stop stating the reason why that will never happen.
I mean honestly I would like nothing more than to never hear about that coin again, it is they who keep coming to us and causing trouble.

But what the hell let me amuse you for once, it is the 'silly season' after all.


For starters you apparently have no idea what a scam is.
While some scams might have premines there really is no correlation between the two - this is simply a straw man of your own construction. A premine is simply an entity, whether it is used for good or 'evil' depends entirely on the project. In the case of Gulden it is being used to fund development (While in the case of a scam the entire thing would have been dumped on the market when the coin reached it's temporary peak of 12000 sat) - which unless you are blind you will agree is quite clearly being delivered on, so if you want to claim that is somehow a 'scam' then I believe the onus is on -you- to prove that.


As for what does constitute a scam, this is pretty simple.
Scam "a dishonest scheme; a fraud" (i.e. exactly what certain people around here like to call 'marketing')
Why is Gulden not a scam?
Well quite simple Gulden does not go around making claims that are not true, we do not intentionally try to deceive anyone, we do not make promises we cannot deliver on, we spend large amounts of time actually maintaining our products all of which are regularly updated. We put out new releases at regular intervals, each one improving on the previous one. We do not put out features that we know can't work just because we want to create hype.
We do not do anything dishonest or fraudulent.



Now lets examine what does make a scam - you'll notice this pattern in a huge amount of coins around here:
1) Claims about large investment with no proof to back it up
2) Claims of enough developers to form a football squad
3) Nothing works properly or as advertised - things like mobile wallets are released once and then left to break, when they break people are told "you should use the desktop wallet instead"
4) When this is brought up the community is asked to fix it or step up and donate to fix it despite (1) and (2)
5) Regularly make claims about outrageous things like "Microsoft partnerships" or "using Microsoft technology"
6) Consider a 'checkpoint update' as a major heading in release notes.
7) Implement(s) cheap gimmicks like super fast block times which can be used to impress/fool people who don't understand what is going on, but that anybody who really understands the code knows would never hold up if the network were actually exposed to real usage.
8 ) Focuses on things like TPS even though 99% of blocks are completely empty.
9) Despite (1) and (2) have put out less lines of code in an entire year than what
10) Putting out features that they know don't actually work properly - just because the feature will generate hype.
11) Run on year(s) old codebases with known vulnerabilities, knowingly putting peoples money at risk and pretending that this is not an issue.

Really I could go on all day, the above are just a few random points of dishonesty or fraud, aka a scam.
Hopefully this satisfies you, if not, too bad.

So there I made the effort to answer your question so now  it's my turn to ask a question - quite clearly you have absolutely no interest in Gulden - I mean you said yourself you would never invest. Your last 5 posts here have all been to FUD, first with a bunch of embarassingly wrong assumptions about our latest release, and now about a premine.
So heres the question - why are you here? Why hate on one of the few projects in Crypto that is actually putting out legitimate projects and code? You don't have to like Gulden that's fine but then why don't you just go do something constructive instead of coming here with nonsense?

Let me put this in simple terms you can understand, I would never ever work for a con man like Jared, not for any price.
I work for Gulden because they don't have a con man like Jared.
If Gulden were to get a con man like Jared I would leave, instantly.

Coins like that will -never- have a proper development team, because absolutely no legitimate real programmer would risk tarnishing their reputation to be involved in such an obvious scam.

Paying to appear in a few conferences is not marketing, utter outright lies is not marketing, you don't know what real marketing is, you probably never will.

Now go away please you have no idea what you are talking about, go stick to your precious scam and stop trying to involve me in it. I have no interest whatsoever in what you are selling.
Clearly you have no interest in real projects with a long term vision so this project is not for you, go back to Jared and go worship him, we don't want you here.

You and your sockpuppets were crying about 'marketing' when were at 300 sat, your are crying about it when we are at 3000 sat, and you will still be crying about it when we are at 30000 sat one day in the future, meanwhile you are oblivious to the only things that really matter, real user growth. Where I come from we have a single word for people like you: clueless.

Thanks.

It's integrated but disabled (except on testnet where it is active). We have no immediate plans to activate it on mainnet as right now there is no immediate need (or immediate benefits) to us doing so, we do not have massive block congestion, none of our current services are having overwhelming malleability issues..
There are various risks to activating this ahead of bitcoin, including the fact that it may never activate on bitcoin, if it never activates then perhaps the Bitcoin devs will revisit the malleability problem and find a better solution, perhaps we would rather follow them in that then be stuck supporting a feature they never activated and dumped (just because we wanted to be first) We also have no real desire to being Bitcoins beta testers.

So yes, we could have activated this already if we wanted but we aren't really interested in that right now, we are far more interested in our own projects that we are busy working on which IMO are far more exciting and represent far more real value for our userbase.

I know the above probably sounds strange in the 'crypto' field where other coins are all clamouring to claim they are first at something so that they can score cheap hype points or whatever, but this is how it is.
At Gulden we are focused on sustainable responsible development, not hype driven nonsense and cheap tricks.


Yes, depends on miners, but in the next few days I believe.

None of our official wallets use Electrum in any way whatsoever, only third party wallets like Coinomi do, personally I recommend people stick to our official wallets which I feel are a far better experience.
All of our official wallets are and will remain fully decentralised.

We don't comment on future development plans outside of official announcement channels, I'm afraid you will have to wait and see.

I have no comment on any of the other questions.

Bittrex are in the process of upgrading their wallet to the new 1.6 codebase.
As there are a lot of changes that 1.6 brings to the table (specifically in this case Accounts and HD) this requires some changes from their side in order to switch over correctly so is taking them a bit more time than normal, probably they will be done in the next day or so.

Thanks.

I'm not sure where you ever got the impression that anything in life is fair. It isn't, life is a constant struggle, anything of worth that anyone ever accomplished was done through blood sweat and tears.

There are no easy solutions, these 'cheap' ideas like coin swaps or new coins solve nothing, all doing such a thing would show is that the team has no backbone and will happily ditch something when things don't go our way, is it this sort of thinking (your sort of thinking) that is exactly what is wrong with the crypto scene - nobody is prepared to stand for anything any more.

That traders have 'won' this round is sad, I am sorry it has happened (mostly for the people who will have lost money as a result), though not surprised, people should be in less of a rush to push the price up. they should place buy support instead of buying at high prices, they should think long term, until this mentality becomes more normal traders will continue to win. But focusing on this is silly and only half the picture, thinking about price is small minded and way too short term.

We end the year with a better product, with more users than we have ever had before, with a large real community of real nice people who aren't price obsessed and aren't part of the normal toxic crypto crowd, with enough funding to continue our good development into the new year. The low price will make it easier to attract new users, and we have the product to do it. These are the things that matter, this is what the dev team cares about, the current price today, that is not significant to us.

So no, we will not behave like a bunch of spineless cowards like you suggest and perform some silly 'coin swap' or other nonsense, we will carry on doing exactly what we already are, we will stand for something and stand behind our product. We will continue to build something one bloody step at a time, the way things are always done in the real world, nothing worthwhile ever comes easily.
You should snap out of this toxic mindset and come join us on slack where we are building something real.

Eventually we will have so many users that the price will rise legitimately to a point that these current traders will become irrelevant, a long forgotten memory, other than the fact that they will be here, whinging that they sold out too soon, this is what happens to all short sighted people in the end.

Hi, what is being talked about here is just that the accounts are 'physically' separated from one another, and don't ever exchange funds without you willingly choosing to do so.

This is not the whole anonymous thing that the anonymous coins are trying to do, which is more about transactions on the block chain being 100% untraceable under any circumstance.
While I find some of that 'interesting' from an academic perspective - I don't personally believe it is something that the average person wants or needs, and think it is probably a hindrance to mainstream adoption in various ways. Gulden's goal remains on the mainstream so this is not something that is anywhere in our current plans.

If I have two accounts "Private" and "Work" and use the one only to deal with my work customers and the other to only deal with my private contacts then my work contacts can't snoop on what payments I've been doing using my private wallet - as there are no (or little) block chain links between them.
i.e. basic privacy expectations that regular day people might have, but up until now haven't had with a standard wallet. (Unless they use multiple wallets - or coin control but nobody is actually disciplined enough to do that right)

Hope the above makes sense to you.

Please stop this nonsense, it is insulting, you claim to be a supporter of Gulden yet you keep insulting the developers by having so little faith in us that you think we are sitting around waiting for job offers from elsewhere.
We are in this for the long haul, and are not going to just "jump ship" at first sign of any difficulty, that is not how something of worth is built. Quite the contrary, our hard work is only just starting to pay off and there is no way we would do anything ridiculous to throw that all away. W are at the -beginning- of something very exciting here and can't wait to move on to the next part.

Quite honestly I don't know where or how you assume I would actually -want- to work for any of these other coins? Did it occur to you that I probably have multiple jobs outside of crypto that I could easily take right now? If for some reason Gulden failed (which it won't) - what makes you think I would want anything to do with these other project? I work for Gulden because I choose too, not because of a lack of other offers.
Perhaps you don't realise it but I am a person not a soul sucking vampire, money while a factor is not everything, I've turned down many job offers in my life and I will turn down many more, I pick the jobs I take based on many factors Gulden included, I see something in Gulden that I don't anywhere else. I have 0, zilch, absolutely no interest in any of these other coins, it's really that simple.


As a developer I am personally far more interested in continuous user growth than I am in temporary price fluctuations, that is what we have and always will be working on.

Wow, the absolute trash in this thread is just disgusting, and then people wonder why we want nothing to do with bitcointalk, what an absolute pit of filth.

I'm going to comment here, just this once, to clear up some things, don't bother replying as I'm putting this thread on ignore when I'm done - I don't need BS distractions like this.

@Svener and everybody else suggesting ridiculous things - we are not going to do any of the things you are suggesting, so please stop disrespecting us with these crappy fake rumours.
We are quite happy with where we are with the coin that we are currently working really hard on building, we are NOT going to do some dodgy hair brained scheme just because you have suddenly dreamed it up and we are certainly not going to go and join some other coin either. What the hell is wrong with you people.

@The various 'criptoe' members - the only people 'dragging' you into this is yourselves, please just -piss off- and go deal with your own coins, you've done more than enough damage now. If it has Gulden in it -just don't read it- there you go simple, done. (But thats not what you want is it - you've actually been aching for an excuse to stir shit)
We don't stalk you around constantly causing trouble, so what exactly is your problem? Maybe focus some of your energy into actually working on your own coin(s) that seem in desperate need of it...

@The various sock puppets from digibyte and other fake coins, that keep suggesting that 1.6.0 is fake - sorry to disappoint, but this is one if not the only real projects in Crypto and you are going to be bawling your eyes out when 1.6.0 comes out shortly. Just because everything -you- are involved with is a scam does not mean that we work in the same way.

@The few legitimate people reading this thread, please just ignore all the pathetic FUD orchestrated by this tiny group of people.

Why do you think the world revolves around you and your personal desires? You aren't even one of the people who funded - and from what I can tell have never contributed anything at all other than negative vibes and constant whinging about marketing -  so what makes you think you get any say whatsoever in how our time is spent? Why should anybody care about your opinion?

Simple fact, there are many users whose opinion the dev team care about, and you are quite surely not amongst them.

Take your disrespectful attitude and go start your own coin with it, then you can do exactly what you want when you want.

Investeerder has special spy cameras set up all over my house, so everybody should believe what he says.

The Android wallet with password is fully encrypted so is pretty safe (as long as you store/copy the recovery phrase in a sensible way that it won't be compromised). For the most part they are equivalent in terms of security.

The main difference I guess, is whether your desktop computer or Android phone are more likely to be compromised by hostile software, as this would be the only threat to either, from this perspective it depends a lot on usage patterns (whether the Android phone is rooted) what sort of apps you install on it etc.
As a general rule of thumb I'd say on average that the average desktop computer is more secure than the average mobile phone. For a reasonable amount of coins I'd not be too concerned, if I were storing my life savings then perhaps it would be a bit more concerning.

Don't ask us, you here on BCT know more about our plans and daily activities then we ourselves could ever hope to know, I'm sure you can just consult your tarot cards and make it all up like you usually do.

It's amazing how people here on BCT know more about what I'm busy doing with my time than I myself do, is there a hidden spy camera somewhere in my house from which you extract this information, or are we blessed to have an entire community of powerful psychics?
Perhaps you guys could tell me what numbers to bet on in the next Lotto?
