People joining this round are not the average type on this forum.
We already have private donations to fill all 100 witness spots, but as usual everyone wants a dev team to cater to this forum.
I do not expect you to understand this, and I do not necessarily agree with catering to anyone here.
Can you clarify what you mean by "We already have private donations to fill all 100 witness spots." Does this mean it is hopeless to get a witness slot with a 5 BTC donation now? Another question is if we send BTC, do we submit proof of it immediately? Nowhere in the instructions does it mention how to associate the BTC donation to our accounts, so it is not clear how we will be notified that our donation qualified for a witness slot. |

* There will be no more information provided by the dev team prior to release other than what is posted in this announcement.
This is grounds to say flunk you. You have provided zero information. I will provide zero funding. are you crazy sent 5 btc to where to you ? for what? better to keep my btc for some interesting project than loosing my btc to this one! that is incredibile!
This round of funding is not for you. People joining this round are not the average type on this forum. We already have private donations to fill all 100 witness spots, but as usual everyone wants a dev team to cater to this forum. I do not expect you to understand this, and I do not necessarily agree with catering to anyone here. You can wait for the public funding round where more information will be available to you. The witnesses will have access to the code before release and they can inform you better than I can. Can you clarify what you mean by "We already have private donations to fill all 100 witness spots." Does this mean it is hopeless to get a witness slot with a 5 BTC donation now? |

is the first 24 hours up yet?
I have the same question. I thought we had 24 hours from when the ICO went live, but when I went to buy, the count down said there were fewer than 29 days left. |

1. The bug itself was an error that any very amateur cryptographer could make (that would include me) if they were foolish enough to try to implement this without any sort of help or review from a competent cryptographer or mathematician (that would not include me). That still foolish, but perhaps understandable given limited resources and a mandate to implement the promised features anyway.
 The known log is not the reason for the SDC lack of anonymity (rather it's plain old commutative property of multiplication), but this paragraph describes a good rule of thumb. |

I read Shnoe's expository on SDC's ring signature flaw with great interest. I have a couple of questions. 1. I noticed that the following equation discusses a hash function, but unlike other hash functions in the paper, it does not have a subscript. From context this is a hash function that returns a point with unknown log, and that this was just a typo, correct? 2. I was curious about the form of Shnoe's following equation It does not seem to agree with the cryptonote white paper, which provides a more complicated equation for c i Whereas the cryptonote white paper would make sense in this context, Shnoe's form does not seem consistent with his final statement that this "proves that someone has actually signed the transaction, since the signer, knowing x i is able to solve alpha = s i + c ix i". |

If I can get to this in any finite amount of time, I'll just fork the repo and then rebrand the wallet for google play. Nice one! FYI viacoinj is here: https://github.com/viacoin/viacoinj I'll give you push access. I think it's important to have a central place for viacoinj so other projects can benefit from it later on. What's your github username? I didn't mean to put you on hold. Bitcointalk went down for me and then I was AFK. https://github.com/MarcusAugustus/ |

By the way, the mobile wallet is written in Java, which means the entire auxpow commit and the followup bug fixes will have to be ported to Java.

No I haven't tried yet. I've been amazingly busy. It would help if someone were to point me to the commit that broke it in the first place.
The mobile dev didnt upgrade to the auxpow fork, that's why it doesnt work. Do you remember the approximate date? Edit: found it on the timeline: 22nd December 2014 Edit 2: this looks like the big daddy: https://github.com/viacoin/viacoin/commit/e52820f6e61c9fe14a2d4e8a495d15a32da58a9a |

Marcus, have you got the mobile wallet working?

It's hard to see why the price is not sky rocketing with an ACTUAL dev releasing things like this.
Who thinks within a month this will be 100k + ?
At 2,000 lines of code. That was a huge release too. This isn't javascript either. It's C++. It's so hard it scares most devs into web development. Here's the link to the big commit: https://github.com/Grandpa-Jones/Synergy/commit/f331299d2c9464612c04e824ed6d55b6910b5398I started up the wallet and everything looks like it works. The dates and other info is there. I selected addresses without a problem. I did everything but join the pump. I might join the slack and be a beta tester. It looks pretty slick. I know this kind of functionality is not easy to write. Another thing, if there was any worry about a pump group being involved you can bet there isn't. No dev who works with pump groups would make a release this big without a major pump at the same time. |

MOON! BUY QUICK BEFORE SUPER INFLATION.
 You're one interesting chap, that's for sure. shouldn't do inflation it will just drop the price For proof of work coins, that may hold true. Proof of stake coins don't respond as directly to inflation. |

To-Do for Pump Group Releasescan for previous registrations to know which stealth transactions will relay the pick for the current pump- scan for said stealth transaction and extract the pick information
- scan transactions belonging to the registration address to report the minimum balance
- gui refinements (lock input fields for manual entry and other "fool-proofing")
- full-cycle testing and associated debugging
- block reward adjustment (assuming consensus for higher rewards remains unchallenged)
- deployment (versioning, building, & bundling)
So I should buy and participate? It's not a scam? I think I get the drift of your topic here now that I think about it. You are honestly wondering whether you should buy in, maybe to get a jump on others before this release, if it ever comes to pass. If you can get cheap coins then you can get a good position in the pump group. I'd say this is a legitimate concern. It looks interesting to me. I haven't looked through to see if I should get in. But what I would and might do is look through the back posts by the dev and see if he's had a good history. Does he have other to do lists, made any promises, and delivered? Then check out the github page and see if the commits show any real ability. That I can do quickly. Look at https://github.com/Grandpa-Jones/Synergy/commits/masterI count that he has 39 commits. That's quite a few for a coin this young. The question is if any in there show any knowhow. Most seem to be maintenance or bug fixes, but 3c2d471 has a bunch of new lines. Maybe you should test if that commit worked. The meat of it is a new console command called getturboredemption. Look at https://github.com/Grandpa-Jones/Synergy/commit/3c2d4719f90d8457a1a11c033204d2bf293effc0My assessment is that this dev knows how to code, probably good enough to do what he is saying. Again, all indicators point to a good outcome. Don't blame me if the price goes down, but my best guess is that it will probably go up. The pump group is a different story. No one has tried it yet. But I think that is the point of crypto. |

Can Synergy create first decentralized pump group? Can grandpa really achieve his goal to make everyone able to create profits with synergy pumps or is the tech too complicated to achieve? Let's have a discussion. Synergy is about a allowing people to collaborate without direct interaction, to work towards a mutually beneficial goal. Synergy fuses its community with technology such that the community becomes an autonomous actor working on beahlf of the individuals, even if the individuals are not aware that they are part of something much larger than themselves. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1070124.0This is an interesting coin with some eclectic features. I guess I haven't heard of it because of the low market cap. The quote is unusual too and is difficult to interpret. It reminds me of the Foundation Trilogy from Isaac Asimov where a mathematician mapped out future human history with equations. The pump group seems to be an experiment. I don't know if we can make a good prediction here. It depends on the coins and what resources the devs have to pump the coins they pick. I wouldn't buy into any coin if it's not low already. I don't think it's a bad thing to try this. It will be good for whatever coins they choose, which will most likely see a spike in value. Some coins get pumped and never go back down. This SynergyCoin seems to be a good example if you look at its price history in relation to the pumps it has had. I'd say it's a good bet anyway, just from the charts. The market cap is still low and it responds very well to pumps. |

let it diiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Proof of stake coins that are working don't die on their own. So "letting" it die is not an option. Why don't you buy some up, 51% the chain, and then kill it yourself. It would be a good use of your money if you really want to see it die.  |

What features homeboy?
This coin needs some action.
Nocturna will be the first altcoin to fully incorporate smart contracts into the wallet and blockchain. Ahahahahahahahahahahaa LOL LOL LOL  |

Coinbase maturity:3 blocks
Wow. The shitcoin-ness is built in by design. |

I can't wait to double spend this one. int64 static GetBlockValue(int nHeight, int64 nFees)
{
int64 nSubsidy = 500 * COIN;
if(nHeight == 1)
{
nSubsidy = 9333333 * COIN;
}
// Subsidy is cut in half every 4000 blocks
nSubsidy >>= (nHeight / 4000);
return nSubsidy + nFees;
}
When nHeight hits 52,000 then nSubsidy is 0 and the network is running on fees. No one will mine it and you can do what you want with a few MHs. In fact, at about 7/block the reward won't be enough to secure the network in two weeks. There is a reason all the big PoW only coins have a very long halving. Prediction if the dev doesn't put in PoS or change the schedule: coin dead in 3 weeks. Good luck.  could you explain this a little bit more for not so experienced altcoin fans? I did my math wrong, but the issue is the same. This coin is in danger of a 51% attack after about 2 months (not 3 weeks like I mistakenly said). Halving takes about 11 days. 5 halvings is about 2 months. At that time the reward will be 15. By then hashes will have dropped to near non-existence and the difficulty will plummet. Then someone only needs a few MHs to drive the chain for enough confirms to double spend. If the coin is very valuable, this is a big danger. It's happened before. |
