what about kdc plastic wallets ?

i think it's better if it was centered

+1, rotate back to center and it's good

Also:

Just a reminder that there are still a few 7.7KDC block bonuses to be had before the fork on KDC.CripToe.Com!  In addition to the new fork bonus of 1.6KDC(10%!) that will be given out after the fork, there is going to be a pool jackpot.  Make sure you're mining with us to be eligible for the jackpot drawing.

Get in now while you can!

@Fuse - I already checked with a couple of coin devs, and they said the same thing. "PoS coins have these issues, so you can either chop the PoS or let the miners accept that it is part of the deal". Perhaps I should have pointed this out a while back, but I assumed everyone mining PoS knew that...

Of all the people making comments on here, I was disappointed to lose your trust the most. I know you have kept with us since the start...and you know I have offered TAG to replace your losses on the pool, something I can still do if you need it. However, if it means I have to chop PoS for you get into mining again, then I cannot do that. However, f you want me to set up a mining pool and have you run it, with me taking all the risks and costs, then I can do that as well. Perhaps the community would listen to you more than me..Smiley

There is more to TAG than just mining, and I would prefer to have people like you on board for the longer term goals.

And yes, I am not perfect..I need to learn to communicate better...just one of those things that for some of us, takes a while to get right..Wink

A wise man once told me, "no one is infallible".  Grin

We all do things that we regret at some point.  In some ways I regret saying the things I said yesterday.  In some ways I'm happy I said them... now things are on the table and we're working them out.

Let's make this a point in the history of TAG that we built upon, not buried.  I'm willing to work towards making things work for TAG as long as you're willing to work more with this community, which I think you're already on the path to doing now.

1205  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TagCoin - The World's First Rewards Coin on: March 02, 2014, 03:51:14 PM
Mate, you lost a lot of people's trust yesterday.  You can't just say things like you said here and expect it to not go the way it did.

I really felt like you were turning your back on this community, and me, after the work that a lot of people put into making Tagcoin desirable in this community.  I understand that TAG is more than just the coin... mate, that's why I backed it for so long.  But when this community backs that part of the operation while you're working on the main part, you can't make them feel like their part is insignificant and pointless.

As far as the comments from vesperwillow, others, and me.  That's the nature of this forum.  You let people wonder for too long and they start to formulate their own ideas.  You've made a few comments here and there, but you never address the orphan issue publicly.  People are upset about that.  I know not everyone is an expert in coin design or code.  So yes, we may just be throwing out crazy ideas... but you need to address them.  And not saying something like "no... that won't work".  Because that is what got us to this point in the first place.  People honestly think that you have ignored or totally disregarded what they've said about anything and everything.  That's why I recommended having someone talk in the forum.  It will only help you in the long run to keep communication open.

As far as your coin dev goes- at this point I don't care who he is.  He could be Artos, or hell even Hazard.  I don't care.  At this point though you need a community dev as well.  Someone who is able to give a second set of eyes to the code and make sure things are straight.  I'd highly recommend getting in contact with Ahmed_Bodi in this regard.  He might be able to lend a hand to the community development of the coin... even if that's just bug checking.

I'm sorry I said the things I said.  They were harsh.  I hope this can really turn around and just be a bump in the road.

1206  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TagCoin - The World's First Rewards Coin on: March 02, 2014, 03:09:06 PM
Hazard... the orphan issue isn't the typical orphans you see with coins.  These occur days after blocks are confirmed and paid out.  This leaves things "messy", to say the least, on a pool.

That isn't normal.

FYI... I will be creating a general thread for the CripToe mining network.  Everyone is welcome to continue conversing here about anything, or you're more than welcome to chat in that thread when it's up.  One thing I loved about this thread was the wealth of information everyone brought to it.  I would like to see that continue with CripToe's thread.

I want to personally thank all of you as well for all the support you have given me over the last few months with Tagmining.  If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have gotten as far as we did.  It's the reason I am so upset about this whole TAG thing.  This pool was really for all of you.  The fact that I couldn't control more of what was happening with TAG was really frustrating.  I can only hope I see some of your names pop up on my future pools.

Thank you everyone.

Tagmining will be shutting down completely.

You said that your dev team is really one coin dev, and that the rest of the team does a bunch of other stuff.  Fine... I'm ok with that.  In fact I like that you have a solid team where each person has a different subset of skills.  But why wouldn't you have your coin dev post in the forums when these issues came up?  You told me he's created a dozen other coins already on the market.  List them.  I want to see how many of them are actually legitimate coins, and how many have been involved in scandals.  If he's created a dozen other coins currently on the market, he's obviously involved with the community here.  It smells really fishy that he would have been so involved with the creation of that many coins in the past, but he has not been involved with this coin's thread at all.  And why would the github code only be updated via your account?  Why is there no activity from your dev in the github?  If he's created coins, he's used github, so he has an account.  Produce your dev and the list of coins he created.  Let the community investigate his credibility.


I believe TAG's coin dev is Artos of SBC infamy.

Do you have any verifiable evidence?  I'd really like to know what other coins he has made.  Mark claims his dev has made "nearly 2 dozen".

-Fuse

Edit: If it is Artos, the SBC thread is worth a read.  A lot of it plays out much like here.  Gain community interest, disappear, come back and gain their interest again, disappear again and leave people questioning the coin's future.  Best part of advice from that thread, and should seriously be considered here:

My advice is this; just sell it, cut your losses, and move on. Use this as a learning experience. I took a hit on my investment when i sold, but it has worked out for the best. Im up with the new coin i put into.

Brilliant.

1209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TagCoin - The World's First Rewards Coin on: March 02, 2014, 05:06:24 AM
I'm just really disappointed in his response to every legitimate question.

How many times have people asked what was going to be done with the orphan issue?  And how many times did he respond days later with a post that made no reference to anything technical.  There is a serious issue with the network.  Whether that's the coin's code, or a hack, or even just version mismatching... there's an issue.  All it would take to make people happy is to address the issue.  Or at least enlist the help of people who know what to look for and do to fix the issue.  Pushing out a client that specifically states "allowing older clients to connect... for now" is ridiculous.  Especially when the main speculation is that there's an issue with older clients connecting.

And we never got any response from him about the negative retarget code, and whether that was in TAG.  Wouldn't that be a great thing to investigate?  Instead, we get vskype.  Like people said already, I don't care what the daily value is.  I was mining it when it was ~$0.20-0.30.  I wouldn't care if it was back at $0.20-0.30 if it was just stable and Mark wouldn't turn his back on this community.

There's no reason to mine this coin anymore.  The orphans will not get fixed because Mark made it very clear that the coin was not the focus.  If he didn't say the things he said today, the community would just keep trudging along and making him money.  I'm really glad he did what he did.  It may open up some people's eyes.  It sure as hell opened mine.  I've been blindly following him since day one.  I put everything I had into tagmining and supporting his coin.

Your really let me down, Mark.  You showed your true colors today, and it's really sad to know what they really are.

Announcing the bonus and jackpot system for KDC.CripToe.Com

KDC.CripToe.Com is currently giving out 7.7KDC to block finders on the pool until tomorrow's fork.  Get in now and grab some extra coin while you can!

When the fork happens, two things will change.  The first will be that the block finder bonus will be reduced to 1.6KDC.  This is still a 10% finder's bonus, and that's coin you can bank on!  The second change is that I will be starting a jackpot for all miners who stick around on the pool.  I ran this on another pool, and it worked out great.  It rewards loyal miners, regardless of their hashing power.  So CPU miners, mining farms and everyone in between will benefit from it.  I am going to use the same rules and as I used before, but tweaked specifically for use with this coin.  The jackpot system will be run as follows:

A drawing will be held every 10000 network blocks, where 10 blocks worth of KDC(160KDC) will be split up and given to three random miners.  If the pool runs into issues during the week, either global KDC issues or extended pool downtime, the 160KDC will remain in the pool's jackpot fund to carry over until the next round.  There will be a first, second, and third place prize of 50%, 30%, and 20% of the jackpot total.

To be considered for the jackpot, you have to have submitted shares to at least 75% of the blocks mined that jackpot round, from block 1 of that jackpot's round to block 10,000.  This will be easy to follow, as the first jackpot will be calculated at block 94576(10k past the start of the fork).  I believe the 75% requirement to be fair.  It benefits any miner that sticks with the pool through the 10k network blocks, from the 20MH/s mining farm to the guy mining on an Nvidia GTX 8800.

In addition, if you win a jackpot one week, you can not win the next week's jackpot.  You can however win the jackpot the following week.  If you are caught using multiple accounts to cheat the system, all accounts connected to your main account, and your main account, will be deleted instantly, no questions asked.  This should be a fair system, and something people can enjoy.

Over the next few days, I will be creating a thread for the CripToe mining network that will house this information, and will be where any major announcements regarding the CripToe pools will be written.  It will also be were jackpot winners will be announced.  I will update this thread with a link once I complete that thread OP.

I look forward to mining with you guys, and making the pool the best it can be.  If you have any questions or concerns, PM me.

Thanks, mates!

Per the main TAG thread:

Tagmining will be shutting down completely.

I have disabled mining.  If you have coins on the pool, withdraw them ASAP.  If you don't have your coins withdrawn by next weekend, don't be pissed about the pool shutting down with coins pending.  You have been warned.



Mark,

I have supported you and your endeavors since launch.  I've been a huge supporter of TAG(Everything), and TAG(Everything) to come.  That being said:

I'm going to get a bit critical of your last comment, because it honestly just showed what I've been worried about for a while now.

At this time, I believe you don't care about this community.  To assume that community is just here to hoard coins and wait for the pump and dump is asinine.  Most of the people that have been here backing you were here because they appreciated a cryptocurrency, backed by a solid business model, that held a steady value.  The only reason I held coins early on is because I was holding for POS, which turned out to be faulty anyway.  When POS failed, I sold as soon as I mined.  Since the 1.0.3 update you have faded.  I'm not sure why.

People are putting a lot of effort into spreading the news about TAG.  I have written almost every tech blog I can think of(numerous times) to try to get some publicity.  I have purchased, sold, and given out TAG RFID cards to try to spark interest here in the states.  I have tried to hold the community together while you were absent because you didn't "want to argue"(or you just didn't care to).  I have sunk $1000 in personal money back into Tagmining to try to offset the hit by the orphan problem you let happen... and you let it happen.  I know I'm not the only one here that put time and hard earned money into supporting your project.  It is a community... so why aren't you a part of it?

I recommended that, if you were busy, you should assign someone in your office to be the community liaison.  It's a solid idea for someone who is as busy as yourself.  Why won't you do that?  Even if they're here to spread anti-fud and address community concerns about your disregard for us.  Why can't this happen?  Why do we always have to wait for the same post about the services over and over from you?  The post that never addresses any of the technical concerns or questions we have.

Why would you update the code and put "letting older clients connect... for now" if your thoughts now are that older clients are causing the orphans?  Why wouldn't you stop that immediately?

Why, when you thought POS was the issue, and you've said time and time again you don't like hoarders, would you continue to use POS?  Maybe it has something to do with the 75k+ coins you told me you have?  You don't want people to hoard coins because you want them to sell them to you so you can hold for POS and collect even more.

You said that your dev team is really one coin dev, and that the rest of the team does a bunch of other stuff.  Fine... I'm ok with that.  In fact I like that you have a solid team where each person has a different subset of skills.  But why wouldn't you have your coin dev post in the forums when these issues came up?  You told me he's created a dozen other coins already on the market.  List them.  I want to see how many of them are actually legitimate coins, and how many have been involved in scandals.  If he's created a dozen other coins currently on the market, he's obviously involved with the community here.  It smells really fishy that he would have been so involved with the creation of that many coins in the past, but he has not been involved with this coin's thread at all.  And why would the github code only be updated via your account?  Why is there no activity from your dev in the github?  If he's created coins, he's used github, so he has an account.  Produce your dev and the list of coins he created.  Let the community investigate his credibility.

At this time I believe you're playing the community here for fools.  Stringing them along and using them for their hashes to pad your pocket.

I will not be a part of it any longer.  I urge others to not waste their time or effort on this coin any longer.
