I downloaded the client but see 0 active connections...

Looked like this one had some promise until it was killed by a 51% attack

Could you recommend any sites to rent a dedicated server from? They would have to be a big player in the market so I have confidence in them.


Thanks for recommending some names but both:

prq.se
edis.at

are non-english and I only speak english unfortunately.

Add BitBar please. It's been on bter.com for a couple of weeks and it's on coinchoose.com 

I was looking at Amazon Web Services recently but they are based in the US - maybe not a good idea following what happened with mtgox.

I then looked at Linode as they have a pretty solid reputation, but I am concerned with the security issues they have had (bitcoinica lost all their funds because someone hacked the actual Linode admin panel, and I am still seeing security issues on their news in 2013).

Does anyone have any advice? I have what I think is a novel idea for an exchange and want to try and get a toy hobby project up and running... but I will choose a server with good ram so it handle a surge in traffic.

Not saying you are wrong but how could you possibly know what the hackers are doing with the funds they stole from vircurex?

Maybe it was funds taken during the vircurex hack/s.

Yup me too. I think the smart people can work out who we are talking about.

I am buying 50 BitBars for 20BTC, please pm if anyone is interested.

This is being blown out of proportion.

The only reason this happened is because Mtgox were foolish enough to lie and say they aren't a 'money transmitter' and try to operate without a license.

If they had the appropriate license this wouldn't have happened. A lesson to other exchanges in the future.

Wow...

This topic is a record of trades I have done with members on the forum. 

This recent explosion of coin clones has really underlined what an asset Sunny the PPC developer is to the community and what a strength he is to the PPC project. Even now he is still actively improving and strengthening it.

Did you consider perhaps mcxnow isn't being targeted because there is virtually no money on the site compared to Vircurex, the second biggest alt coin exchange after btc-e.com

+1. I was using coinwarz for a while and then I found coinchoose and I prefer the interface. Added to my favourites.

I am looking to buy BitBars and will pay above the market rate for large amounts. I have a perfect trading history.

Please pm me to discuss  

Tried googling but can't get a quick answer.

Is it the block number? Or something else

Bump for anymore trades.

Can offer LTC as well as BTC.

Yeah that is why I said a lot of things could still go wrong lol.

I think this one has some promise. Looking forward to the launch.

- Decent coin name (this is big if the coin is ever going to go anywhere long term... coins like YAC are gonna struggle here)
- Solves a problem with cryptocurrencies with super fast transactions
- Has a professional looking website and a developer who is engaging with the forum and isn't hiding away

Still a lot of things that could go wrong, but so far so good.

Would love to see launch that doesn't end up being a farcical botch job.

Silly topic, there is no need to donate at all.

If the coin succeeds it will succeed without a donation. Be smart, an exchange like btc-e.com takes 1% out of everytrade, they would make tons of bitbars per month from their trading fee... that's why they have 800k litecoin now. So a donation is pointless. Just email the exchanges and let your voices be heard... much more effective.
