1161  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][HYP] HyperStake | Proof of Stake | 750% Annual | Coin-Swap & AllCoin on: July 20, 2014, 04:35:14 PM
No you aren't missing anything. Proof of Stake coins are quoted in annual percentage rate (APR) which doesn't take into account compounded. The effective annual percentage rate is the rate when taking into account compounding.

So this would mean HBN's APR is 100%, CAP 200%, etc.
Could someone enter the APR and EAPR values for PHS, HBN, GRW, CAP, TEK and HYP? Thank you.

After 12 months this numbers get's way above 750%
HYP's 750% is annual rate, without compounding (that is, if you sold your stake just after they matured).
TEK's 500% per month is also non compounded. Compounded, it is around 5570%.
HYP's inflation control is about reducing compounding interest without changing the annual interest. All of these without disincentivizing people from securing the network. Granted, you would earn less HYP than TEK at the end, but what matters is not the amount of coins (or else, CENT would have succeeded) but the value of coins. This is this fine balance between reward, security and value that we are trying to achieve.

The thing is. I'm not very BTC wealthy (nor fiat wealthy either lol) and I would like get a feeling of if it was possible to gamble part of my monero in an initial oscilation in price.

But I guess its difficult to guess, huh?
Exactly the same situation. And talking from experience, don't short XMR if you're not good at trading. Just wait for XMR to equal BTC. Could take a couple of years.

Soon, a Monero subforum will be necessary Smiley

Yes, I had no opinion of Monero before but now my opinion is that if I want to use it, now's not the right time because it appears that there is a social engineering attempt taking place to boost confidence in it.
You won't be able to use it as Bitcoin for buying product anytime soon, that's for sure.

For the social engineering part, well. We chose a plan and stick with it. The highlights are: weekly update and high signal-to-noise ratio. The rest is market being the market. As usual avoid buying when the price rises.
1167  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Complaints about amount of Monero posts thread on: July 19, 2014, 03:27:50 PM
The reason there are "looooots" of Monero topics is because there is intense interest from those that are knowledgeable about cryptocurrencies,

There was a lot of similar hyping of dogecoin as it crumbled.

And that's what statements like that say to me - the coin is crumbling so you are trying to hype up momentum.

It may have worked in the past but its old tactic now, and has the opposite of the desired effect.

Yopu should not invest in an asset without ample reading first. Then you will make your own opinion.

Well, my withdrawal finally came through one day short of FOUR MONTHS later. Yes, it took 111 days for Cryptsy to process my withdrawal correctly. They closed my ticket without resolving it more times than I remember.

I'm glad that's over, but holy shit, Crypsty is awful.
And you are still a lucky one. I haven't be paid yet and they closed my tickets... again.

Consider SQLite 3, I am using a project that stores large amounts of data on the client and is doing well.
The monero-dev thread might interest you. Granted, it needs some postings.

It is not indeed, and I would not call it a crash, these ups and down are very healthy for Monero, everything is looking positive on short and long-term, be glad we are here early
Exactly. What matters is that the next low is higher than the previous low.

Much like a certain crypto ^^

It is the largest military empire that has ever existed, making Rome look like pipsqueaks.
Officially, this was the Achaemenid empire (First Persian Empire, "our arrows will blot out the sun", almost one human being over two). But if you're talking unnofficial, I'd tend to agree. French former Foreign minister Hubert Vedrine wrote "Facing the hyperpower", stating that that US are more than a superpower because they dominate on all of this fields: military, financial, technological, cultural.

The ideals that nearly every American subject can pop out of their mouth have been so egregiously twisted in actual practice as to be unrecognizable. What the US figured out that most have not is taht if you can regulate everything and make people BELIEVE that the rgulations have purposes other than sheer enslavement, that teh majority won't complain. Which is why they tout democracy as if it were a virtue. In the long run, no democracy has survived, and this one won't either. Because at it's core, there is no more oppressive system. As someone on this very board has as their tagline: "Democracy: The original 51% attack.
What is funny (or sad) is that outside US, USA is still "the land of freedom". Well, outside France, France is still the land of human rights...
I like the tagline. Makes me think.

If you truly believe in the principles of democracy (which thankfully almost no-one does), then if 6 people in a group of ten decided that one of their number should be killed (regardless of any reason), he should just stand up and die. A very limited amount of democracy can be useful, but those limits must be explicit and rigid, else you get a creeping, grinding enslavement over time.
Konstantin Kastoriadis once said: "the problem with democracy is that it gives any citizen an equal voice without giving them an equal education (Kastoriadis as an ardent proponent of democracy).
As usual, this is not the concept which is good or bad, this is the percentage.

The United States was not set up as a Democracy. It wasn't truly a democracy until the 16th and 17th amendments shifted slavery away from piecemeal individual owners to a general system in which all of those born were born in bondage to the "federal authority" via the income tax, and the abolition of the Senate, making the United States of America instead of these United States of America.
The main issue I think is that there is no more free land in the world. I use this expression adequately: we don't have land, but we do have oceans and... space.
I never said it would be easy Smiley

I could write a book on the subject. In fact, I mostly have Tongue But this thread is about Tek, so perhaps we should continue this elsewhere.
Point me to the right place and I will delete my relevant posts and move them there.

If you are able to step back from it and look, you'll find that the United States of America, Incorporated is by far the most oppressive nation on earth.
That's properly an overstatement. North Korea is more oppressive and in a way, so is Bhutan. Let alone Burma.

We Westerners tend to forget how lucky we are. As Tocqueville wrote: "democracy is a system were people will always be unhappy with their situation, before it is actually possible to improve" (not exact wording)

An Algerian rap music band once said about French rap music band complaining: if you were in Algeria, you would produce one album a month.

Granted, there is a lot to improve in Western world countries (and this is right to try to improve them), but calling US the most oppressive nation is an exaggeration. Grass is always greener on the other side.

Hi,

A quick reminder that we have an IRC chan: #ŧekcoin (freenode, you can access with a regular IRC client like hexchat or with http://webchat.freenode.net).
We also have a tipbot, courtesy of drewdrew - I will personally tip any newcomer if I am online at this moment. My experience with MINT, XMR and HYP is that a living IRC chan helps a coin to thrive.

See you there!
1174  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][HYP] HyperStake | Proof of Stake | 750% Annual | Coin-Swap & AllCoin on: July 18, 2014, 02:09:18 AM
Amusing, this is what I independantly proposed in a PM (but apparently you were the first still Smiley)

Quote from: David in PM
"defragment" the wallet.
Say B is block size
If B > 1600 ; split into 1600 blocks and the rest will be treated later
If B = 1600 ; do nothing
If B < 1600 ; merge with a block of size of at most 1600-B

Rearranging would reset the coin age, right? Two solutions:
- one is just "live with it". Bad solution, I'd say
- other is "capturing" the coinage of every block when B!=1600 (the one which will be splitted or merged). If splitted, every split has the exact same coin age as the original. It merged, a new coinage is give, which is the weighted average of the previous blocks

Another idea we proposed on IRC was to find a way to force staking to extend equally during the whole 24 hours (maybe a ridiculously low max age plus an algo for forcing the "spreading" of blocks), in order to encourage people to leave their wallet open. But then, there are legitimate reason to not let the wallet on (laptop/mobile, switching off the computer at night...)

I doubt that we see prices north from 0.01 in this rally, that said I guess we never see <0,0025 again.
Same here.

alors le pump jusqu'ou cette fois ?
Honnêtement, j'arrête les diagnostics. Je pense à 0.01, quand Risto vendra. Ou bien 0.013, selon de l'analyse technique. Mais ce sont des maximum, je pense que ça baissera avant.

En tout cas, c'est largement au-delà du bon prix, qui est plus bas en rapport avec l'inflation. Ride the wave!

http://david.latapie.name/blog/extended-10200-strategy/

Version rapide (et toujours en anglais)

Foreword
It is not my plan, it is Risto Pietila's - I did add the shorting part, though.

Selling part
"Sell 10% every time the price doubles"
1. Buy 100 @5k
2. Sell 10 @10k, 9 @20k, 8@40k (10% of remaining)
3. After three iterations, you pay back your expenses (this equates price 800%; spending 27,1% of original stash; maths are 10*10k+9*20k+8*40 > 100*5k and ((100-100*0.1)-(100-100*0.1)*0.1)-((100-100*0.1)-(100-100*0.1)*0.1)*0.1)
4. Rinse and repeat

Shorting part
"When you sell, anticipate a 30% drop in price"
1. Once sold 10 @10k, place a buy order of 10 @7k (30% may be quite conservative - XMR loses 75% of its value every time)
2. Once sold 9 @20k, place a buy order of 9 @14k. If the order is not executed, cancel your buy order @7k (above) and enjoy the profit. If it is executed, place a sell order again of 9 @20k.
3. Once sold 8 @40k, place a buy order of 8 @28k. If the order is not executed, cancel your buy order @14 (above) and enjoy the profit. If it is executed, place a sell order again of 8 @40k.
4. Rinse and repeat


Ce qui est fou c'est que ça décole jamais sur mintpal en volume. Y'a que poloniex qui conserve le monopole du monero.
La force de l'inertie, firs-mover advantage (exchange.to est arrêté et swaphole.com n'a jamais décollé)

Edit: pas de version francophone de ton blog latapie? :°.
Ca dépend des articles. Dernièrement, j'ai pas mal posté en anglais, mais si tu descends, c'est surtout tu français. La traduction des articles, en revanche, j'ai arrêté il y a 10 ans.

Pour ma part, j'en ai quelques uns et je HODL. Je me réjouis de redécouvrir mes quelques Moneros dans quelque année en voyant la valeur qu'ils auront pris.
C'est la chose à faire.

Interview de mr Latapie sur coinsource

http://www.coinssource.com/monero-interview/
Je dois dire que je suis le premier surpris du retentissement de cet article. Moi qui pensait juste faire un petit article sans (trop de) prétention comme pour http://bitcoin-gratuit.fr/monero-crypto-revolutionnaire/, ça me fait tout bizarre d'être cité à plusieurs endroits du web.

Tu gagnes en notoriété
Si t'a besoin d'un agent je prends pas cher  Grin
Tu déconnes mais ça pourrait finir par servir Smiley On en reparle dans deux ans, OK?

Plus sérieusement, ta mention de mon interview m'a encouragé à produire une version française : Monero interview sur Coins Source.

That's why I registered on this forum board. I use Win8. Thank you. Help me to start with XMR, please.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=652305

It could be good to try to redirect people to Monero support. Of course, it means there must be people reading it and people reminding newcomers to post there.
