Fellow eCoiners, 

We are very excited to announce that Canada eCoin (CDN) is now available for trading on AtomicDEX.

AtomicDEX is the world's only purely peer-to-peer (P2P) decentralized exchange that uses simplified payment verification (SPV) to enable safe and fast atomic swaps without the need to download each blockchain onto your local device!  Even mobile users can trade via AtomicDEX's open source software-defined exchange.  AtomicDEX allows swaps between any two supported coins or tokens, all from the safety and comfort of your own device!
https://blog.komodoplatform.com/en/what-is-atomicdex/

As we strive to bring awareness to any potential custodians that exist within software, services, and blockchain spaces, we must acknowledge the importance and advantages of non-custodial software platforms like the AtomicDEX.  We strongly encourage you to take a look at the tremendous innovation leap that the Komodo development team achieved by successfully designing and implementing the AtomicDEX project. We are honoured to be a part of this history-making platform.

Currently, Canada eCoin is available on the desktop version of AtomicDEX.  If you are as excited about this opportunity as we are, we ask that you support the Canada eCoin and Komodo projects by being active on our markets within the AtomicDEX.  Our active engagement will show the Komodo team that we are fully on-board and firmly focused on achieving our shared goals. This, in turn, will help expedite the process of incorporating CDN into the AtomicDEX mobile experience.
https://developers.komodoplatform.com/basic-docs/atomicdex/atomicdex-tutorials/how-to-become-a-liquidity-provider.html

Unfortunately for us Canadians, the AtomicDEX is geo-blocked from operating within Canada and a few other countries. Fortunately for those affected by the geo-block, a fork of AtomicDEX called DogeDEX is available with all the goodies of AtomicDEX but without the geo-blocking!

We invite you to come and check out the latest in non-custodial, peer-to-peer atomic swaps!  We appreciate Komodo's relentless push toward creating this highly sophisticated SPV-based platform.

You NEED to stop!

Swapping coins in this manner accomplishes nothing more than stealing from the long time supporters of this project.  If you and your team are not able to swap from one chain to another without having your users take action to secure their coins, then you need to step down as a coin developer.   You are not a good custodian of your users trust.  There are plenty examples of projects swapping into a new chain without losing ANY user coins.

South exchange also needs to stop enabling this type of swap.  It is theft.  


Please stop what you are doing and learn how to do it right before you destroy this amazing community coin.

I am wondering about this too.

The prefix is used in libraries and third party apps but it doesn't seem to be the same as the bitcoin source code.  The code you referenced in the source uses `strMessageMagic` without adding the prefix so I am wondering why so many clients/libraries out there do it.

I am also wondering what kinds of bad things might happen if this prefix or message magic itself is set incorrectly,..


/koad

Also, exchanges:  Now that we are almost complete with the pivot work, we will be focusing on exchanges.  Right now, fides-ex.com is our go-to exchange.

The chain id for auxpow merged mining was also changed to 0xa6 (166), since having it set to 1 was not good. -> https://github.com/Canada-eCoin/eCoinCore/blob/099b5b69badd7030ab2368a4c1f5bf45b60de4fe/src/auxpow/consensus.h#L13

I have been pulling my hair out over the DNS seeders,.

You can use explorer.canadaecoin.ca as a node, which should also give you more nodes via p2p.

add `addnode=explorer.canadaecoin.ca` in your config file or type `addnode explorer.canadaecoin.ca add` within your debug console.


Sorry about the issue here psycodad,  we will have those dns seeders fixed asap.

Reminder:  this Canada eCoin thread is the old one, the new one can be found here -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1938324.new#new

Good day fellow eCoiners

It has come to our attention that our lack of posting here on BitcoinTalk is a major oversight on our part.  We were wrong in our thinking that our supporters were all in the loop within our blog and social channels.

A few weeks ago, Coinomi had decided to no longer support the Canada eCoin project within their wallet.  This initiated a scramble within our core team to get the pivot done so we can focus on a mobile wallet solution to fill the gap created by our ejection from Coinomi.

On Friday October 2nd, at 10am CST, on block 6597666, we started the pivot process with the intention to have all the wallets in order and repopulated within 4 hours.  We spawned a new chain and had all the Volume 1 transactions migrated to Volume 2 within the right amount of time, but it took quite a bit longer to have our gitian built wallets available on Github. https://github.com/Canada-eCoin/eCoinCore/releases

We apologise to all the bitcointalk users here that missed any/all announcements regarding our situation with Coinomi the pivot into Volume 2.

I assure you that your coins are safe.  If you currently have coins within Coinomi that you need to get out, please see the link Coinomi has provided within the wallet.  If you have a desktop wallet that you have not yet migrated to volume 2, the process is as easy as copying the wallet.dat file into the datadir of volume 2 ( be mindful that you should back up your volume 1 wallet before running volume 2 as they both use the same default datadir )

Over the next few days/weeks, our team is moving all the Vol1 services to Vol2; this includes our explorer, directory and electrum servers.   More information about the pivot results will be available shortly, along with enough details that anyone can perform an audit on the process.  


If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.  In the future, we will be sure to include this BitcoinTalk thread as a part of our broadcasting/announcement regiment.


Thank you,

Good day fellow eCoiners!

I am happy to announce that the Canada eCoin Foundation has begun breathing it’s first breath.

First on the agenda is to establish a stable place for us all to create and share; we have chosen keybase.io for this.

Keybase also allows us to create teams and chats, but that is just scratching the surface.  Using cryptographic maths, Keybase gives us secure (public and private) file shares and git resources which is an important feature for us.  ( https://keybase.io/ )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keybase


Right now, we use Keybase to coordinate the development of our directory software called Indie Express ( https://canadaecoin.directory/ ) as well as to share and collaborate on the data we collect for the directory.  We have been using Keybase for nearly two years and it has become an integral part of our daily workflow.

Ultimately, using Keybase as a part of our central command and control center, we can secure ourselves without relying on third parties.   Some might wonder why we don’t consider Keybase to be a third party, and the reason is because Keybase’ software runs on our own computers, the user accounts are generated by the users themselves, it is open source, and the majority of its functions would still work long after the Keybase team disappears.  We look at Keybase like a set of behaviors more than just tools.  Employing these behaviours can set a user free from spying eyes and enormous data collection by bad-actors.

More information about the inner workings of Keybase can be found within their documentation -> https://keybase.io/docs/crypto/overview .

And now, thanks to these powerful features and behaviors brought forth by the Keybase team, we can create dapps without requiring the user to pay fees nor force users into buying or using our specific token; the Canada eCoin.  This is a break-through and we are surprised that more developers in the crypto space haven’t become wise to Keybase.  Mind you, we are still baffled that not many others are using auxpow either. 

In any event, please join Keybase and follow us at https://keybase.io/cdnfoundation and join our team at https://keybase.io/team/canadaecoin

For those of you who can hover, be sure to check out the Canada eCoin project’s roadmap on our official website. https://canadaecoin.ca/

Thank-you to all the supporters of the Canada eCoin project.  Because of you, we have been able to grow to where we are today, and we are excited about our role in the future of the Canadian cryptography space. If you are located in Canada, and you are open to gathering some intel for our directory curators, there are some bounties available to earn some Canada eCoins.  Message myself or any of our admins on Keybase or Discord if you are interested.

Hey there Greek,

The online wallet is still in development and truthfully, its not a major priority.  We would rather our users be responsible for their own coins.  Check out Coinomi for a super nice crypto wallet that lets you remain in control of your coins.

Coinmarketcap is not tracking the markets we are on, our volume is not high enough.  I personally feel that CMC is censoring us (and thousands of other projects) our for some reason.  We are a small community project focused in a country with only 35 million people, so keeping our volume up to par with the big boy coins is not really that feasible.

As always, you can find out exchange information on our official website https://canadaecoin.site/ as well as our road map that explains where we have been, where we are now and where we are going.

Thanks for your support Greek,  I hope I answered your questions.

Unfortunate news,

Bleutrade has decided to delist CDN along with a whack of other projects.

This is sad news for The Canada eCoin Community.  We have enjoyed Bleutrade's embrace since we were weeks old.

Bleutrade- Thank you for having us;  We wish you well and hope your future is bright and fulfilling
eCoin Users- Have no fear, we will continue to grow.

Take a moment to get up to date if your confidence in Canada eCoin is low.

Me too Crumbz.

Good day Ladies (and Gents)  
 
It has been a while since my last update.  I hope all of you are doing well. 
 
Here is a quick update about some things that are on my plate:

Canada eCoin Community Business and Bounty Directory
I would like to offer a sneak peek of our Canada eCoin Community Business and Bounty Directory.  Canadians can find local places to buy/sell/spend/earn crypto currencies as well as earn some eCoins by completing bounties and/or submitting resturants/stores that accept crypto or by enhancing our dataset by uploading pictures and reviews.

This webapp is currently pre-beta and has only yet been populated with a small selection of ATM machines across Canada.  We are looking for testers to try it out give feedback and suggestions on the front end as well as a couple node/meteor devs that might want to join in and help us continue to develop it out. 

In a nutshell, the directory is not only a place to search through public data (like ATM machines, exchanges, events, merchants and such), but will also be a hub for digital introductions where the participants as individuals can come together to create their own adhoc (personal and private) networks of trusted peers; based on their own connections/resources. 

This directory is a single example instance/component to a larger (self-hosted/self-centralized) methodology where peers buy/sell/ask/bid on any asset, product and service available from within their own trusted network of peers.

The longterm goal here is to create a downloadable dapp where any person can seed any number of their own digital groups or communities, public or private.  Members of these decentralized communities can join, publish bounties and business listings to the public directory; then, during their interaction with respondants (if they have been suitabily introduced to one another), can swap keys and carry on doing business outside of the central directories and inside of any anhoc p2p/chatter/chain that best fits their needs.

Remember, it is impossible to delete cloud data with any kind of confidence, and your host may already be compromised. Taking on a self-hosted/self-centralized methodology in regards to your personal data and digital interactions is imperative. 
https://canadaecoin.directory

The Canada eCoin Community Foundation / Fondation de la communauté du Canada eCoin 
As we move forward into the future, we are excited to establish a non-profit organisation to be the overseer of the community based apps/sites that we produce.  The Canada eCoin Community Foundation will be responsible for maintaining consensus within the community and create structure which will allow us to establish a chain-of-command in regards to ownership/responsibility of our resources. 
https://canadaecoin.foundation

Our YouTube Channel  
We have created a new youtube channel for posting content about our community and crypto education in general.  I have posted 1 video response to our reddit AMA and am getting ready to post video explainers about crypto in general.  Once we get the process down to a science, we will be posting weekly videos. ( animators:  we need you ) 
youtube.com/channel/UCrb_30cLYDvuWjOuNLTwTLQ

Why Canada eCoin?  
I recently posted a blog post on canadaecoin.site about why I think you should care about the Canada eCoin project.  Please give it a read thru when you get a minute.  The post is available at why.ourcoin.ca

Will you join us?
Whether or not your are Canadian, please consider supporting our work.  As we focus our time and efforts onto solving crpyto related problems at our national level, we create solutions that don't apply to a global audience; but any progress we make here at the Canada eCoin project can (and should) be applied to _your_ own national coin, join us in our discord channel and let us know you are on board.  A list of National Coins is available at http://nationalcoins.org/

Twitter - twitter.com/CanadaeCoin 
Reddit - reddit.com/r/OfficialCanadaeCoin/  
Youtube - youtube.com/channel/UCrb_30cLYDvuWjOuNLTwTLQ  
Steemit - steemit.com/@canada-ecoin  
Discord - discord.gg/whZ8gB5  

Ask for Canada eCoin at your favourite exchange
As you might be aware, Cryptopia has been disabled and they were hosting our main markets.  This has affected our Coin Market Cap listing which was recently disabled.  In order to fix this, we need to find some more exchanges for CDN.  If you think The Canada eCoin would be a good fit on your favourite exchange, please ask them to list us.  If you would rather we reach out to your favourite exchange, please let me or another eCoiner know, either here or in our discord channels.

Until next time, stay safe and have fun,

Peace and Love

What's up everyone,
Its been a while since I've posted, this is to be expected -- if you want faster more up to date info, please join us in our discord channels where all the fun happens in real time.

A few things,...

-=Distribution=-

I think that top one is Bleutrade, but I cannot confirm. I would also think the majority of the top addresses are owned by exchanges.
Hex is right L-Audrey. If all you see is new colours on the site then that shows how long you looked.


Peace and love torikan and L-Andrey, seriouly.


I agree with you Rw13enlib88,
Everyone is welcome to join us as this is a community coin. We don't care what outsiders think, we love to share, we work together and we grow together. Quite frankly, that's why we are here. 

-=T-Shirts=-

Coder10101, poordeveloper, mardhika, cpoer2011, joko4ko2017, IamKaroshi, RenegadeDamon --> send me your shirt size address I will send you all out a shirt this week. (if you dont mind sharing your info with me) (Shipping will be the cheapest possible option, FYI)


-=New Website=-

Thanks for the mention guys! I love the new site, it is not done yet; we are working on quite a bit more things for it.


-=Exchanges=-

We have been added to TradeSatoshi and CoinsMarkets as mentioned by Crumbz. Be careful on CoinsMarkets though because they count 9 decimal places and it throws (people/me) off.
Nova Exchange is closing, get your coins off of there.


-=Pools=-
Our hashrate and difficulty are waaay to high to mine it on a dedicated pool so we have closed down our pool. It is not practicable to mine there so it has gone off-line.
italyiimp.com has added us to their pool, http://italyiimp.com/site/block?id=556


-=Thank you=-

Best advice ever! Thanks kunal1234 and cryptocronic.
I also want to show some appreciation for all the people who I've come across over the last few years with this project.  As much as this has been a hard road with some serious setbacks, I would not change a thing.


This post is already too long, I will post again soon regarding our roadmap and Q4 updates.

Hey there CjMapope,

Glad to hear you are holding tight..  We have been building the community in the discord channels.  We think its time to start an official foundation and build a membership of people that can really take care of the coin down the line.

Join us in the discord channels -> https://discord.gg/whZ8gB5



Hi JohnnyArmani,


We have been working on newer versions of the wallet. This alert is because Bitcoin's alert functions have been removed and its actually talking about bitcoin's alert keys in that warning. 

I appologize for that, it was me that let one of the 0.15 wallets onto mainnet, normally they are only kept to testnet. 

We will be releasing some updates soon to the wallet which will fix that alert.  You should know, your coins are safe and are at no risk; this alert can be ignored.


/koad

All,

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer filled with BBQs, beaches, beers and lots of good times with family and friends. 

If any of you fellow Canadians are looking for some like minded people to collaborate with this winter then please join us in our Discord chat server!
