This mega pump in altcoins was testing the capacity and I think it is just a start without specifying any single market. In near future we will see mega mega more pumps so these recent increases just opened the door towards rich and prosper future for altcoin traders and investors.

Yes, 2017 will be very interesting year in crypto world. New trends and technologies will come and improve the current disadvantages. 2017 the game changing year!!! It will take us to the whole new direction. Only the visionaries who get on board  on time and hold will benefit from it. like you said "without specifying any specific market" )

always funny to see these fudders appear out of nowhere like mushroom that grows after a downpour

It is very funny)) I wish there was some some kind of voting mechanism here that switches they avatar to some king of funders crown after certain amount of votes lol...

Do you people really think somebody see this "take youre money before you LOSE" and runs to sell all his coins right away???  You guys are short term junkies Grin

What this pump is about??? Whales realized the potential?  Huh
85  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Tau-Chain and Agoras Official Thread: Generalized P2P Network on: March 24, 2017, 07:31:14 PM
that's exactly what i work on right now. to write down the new design in a language understood to the wide public (except few isolated technical sections)
Will coding start after the new design/paper is presented or is it being done simultaneously?   Undecided

i planned it to come after, but in practice i do work on both. fortunately the first alpha need not be perfect (unlike the final tau). and i truely apologize for the time it takes. people close to me can see the daily progress, but i understand the feeling of waiting so long and not seeing much yet. obviously this will change, and the time and stress i'm into now will eventually seen to be more than justified. choosing the too short way right now would be to releave stress from myself but for high prices, e.g. in the price of chances of adoption (regarding the paper taking long in order to fit large audience), which affects the expected future revenue and success of the network and also the future tau development over the alphas.

No need to apologize, Ohad!  I was just missing that one little detail in relation to the new design...  Smiley



Yes, no rush. I personally  very appreciate what you are doing and I believe most of the community does as swell (except maybe few short term junkies   Wink) I believe that your hard and stressful work will for sure bear the fruits, it always does...

Maybe the only thing we missing here is updates on the road map and news about new professionals joining the team (huge stress relife factor btw), it's more about the right way rather than short way.

Decred is so close to 0.01....really close....I think it can go there before the sunday rise

The target is 0.1 btc by the end of the year
A lot is coming in 2017

- Integration with trezor, ledger, jaxx and one that still cann't be revealed
- Decisions taken by the community through voting on an smart blockchain that implements the result automatically without human intervention. (A test has already been performed on testnet and everything worked without fail. Rumors say it comes from alien tech from Vulcan planet)
- Smart contracts
- Conversion in DAO - Decentralized Autonomous Organization
- Innovative anonymity system that still cann't be revealed


What about mass adoption strategy? Dash working very hard on it now


Large marketing campaign around the world throughout the year, presence at events and support to integrate Decred as a payment method for businesses.


Sorry, I forgot to mention lightning network implementation  Cool


Yes Smiley  I saw it now on they road map.  Only the "Enhanced privacy" and "Payment integration support" implementation  can take it straight to the moon! Not to mention the LN...  very impressive!!!

I read somewhere that they where planning to implement some privacy features on this, does anyone know what type?

From my understanding they will be working on some new variation of zk-SNARK. You can find out here: https://blog.decred.org/2017/01/09/2017-Decred-Roadmap/

Thankyou.

Do you know this compares to Zerocoin?

*edit*

Ignore that, I did a little googling its a version of the same thing I think.

Yes, zk-SNARK it's a new, very sophisticated cryptographic technology that brought by Zcash. All these z-coins (Zcoin,Zclassic and probably Zerocoin) are forks of Zcash. They use the same technology and try to improve it as it has some disadvantages. These guys explain it very well: https://youtu.be/v5_dY7_N_wQ

you're absolutly right, and those topics were not forgotten, but planned for after the first alpha (initially they were planned to come between tau and agoras). the rationale is to come to the public in large scale after we have a lot in hand. that's always better than coming with little and afterwards coming with the big thing. however i needed to begin with some initial funding, and as you can see, most if not all the buyers are people who understand things, otherwise they wouldn't invest, as one cannot yet see the benefits of this project without going a little deep. that's also "by design".
ofc i'll be glad for further suggestions

Coming with a lot in hand definitely make sense. And I see now that it's easier to explain to masses the Agoras vision. Tau can bee seen as foundation on which Agaros ( or other progects) can be build. You can't explain the Agoras without tau and tau itself very hard to explain to non tech people without adding the Agoras sense to it.

How close we are to first alpha?
The participation of the community will be needed for building the tau after the alphas finished?
91  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Tau-Chain and Agoras Official Thread: Generalized P2P Network on: March 19, 2017, 07:02:05 PM
good points, i'll just add that many of them are under agoras rather tau. for agoras' vision see this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFmaX-oumNw

Yes, I sow this video before. Watched it again but from a different angle now ). Thank you


On the other hand, all I am trying to say here Ohad, is that even if you have the best technology in the world it's not enough. Since there is almost no news coming out about this project the only thing we know that there is a very brilliant tech guy with breaking the rules ideas working on it, I personally have faith in this project. I am certainly more than happy with the tech department, but what about business? finance? PR? marketing? user experience? community building? The best technology in the world will be invisible without those must have departments. I just came across this video today: https://youtu.be/xIUQB3oUCM4

These guy's talking about privacy coins but it relevant for any project in my opinion. Maybe it is something that you 100% aware of, things going on in the background like icocountdown said and you have plans but imo the community should know about this plans, we need some road map or at least the date the road map will be revealed

I don't want to start a holy war here but could somebody explain me what advantages DCR has over the DASH? How are they differs?

Hey daily_elephant,

Decred has a 1 tier network.  Dash has a 2 tier network (masternodes).  With Decred, your coins are locked after purchasing tickets (voting rights) (constraining the supply).  With Dash, you can sell a masternode at any time.  With Decred, anyone can vote / participate.  With Dash, only the wealthy can participate.  With Decred, upgrades are precoded into the chain.  The chain automatically switches to the upgrades after a successful "yes" vote.  With Dash, the developers must then code the upgrade after the vote and hope everyone switches.  Decred is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), designed from the ground up.  It has a unique consensus system (which makes an "ethereum classic situation" impossible), is self funding, and is written from scratch in Golang by very well respected bitcoin developers (BTC Suite).

You can read more about Decred in official docs:

https://docs.decred.org

Also you can join Slack and ask more questions here:

https://slack.decred.org/


Thank you Diegox! Can you add the privacy issue to your explanation? Dash started as a privacy coin and privacy is in high demand now days. Are transactions on Decred traceble? Does Decred includes mixing or other technology?

There are things going on in the background. I do not want to divulge currently because there is some serious people working on the development but we are making some nice progress and getting others involved.

Very good to hear that. Do you have or can you reveal any announcement dates as of today?
96  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Tau-Chain and Agoras Official Thread: Generalized P2P Network on: March 16, 2017, 07:32:22 PM
the materials that i'm working on now will present a timeline ofc.

Reading this^ while looking at the current state of the Crypto Market makes me very anxious to see what we'll be dealing with by the time everything is said and done.  A lot of folks might end up scratching their head with Tau-Chain & Agoras.  I'm also very curious to see whether the project will remain under the radar as we progress or not.  Nothing surprises me in Cryptoland anymore.  More for us, I guess?!  



imo tau has a potential to redirect the whole Crypto Market to a new direction if represented right.
the choice of right marketing strategy is very important here. All market trends should be carefully researched before the decision on branding is made. Right representation of technology is as important as the technology it self.

TAUCHAIN -  the power of AI to everyone altogether (and by everyone altogether), rather to be held by centralized entities
support

Very powerful heading imo.
If the rest of the story will be told right, it will be very remarkable and spread fast in crypto land

i agree on the critical-ness of the explanation, and that's exactly what takes me so much time and energy nowadays.
here is some short recent explanation:
the first alpha is an intelligent platform for creating, sharing, and processing knowledge.
the second alpha is an intelligent platform for creating, sharing, and processing processes.
the third alpha is an intelligent platform for creating, sharing, and processing itself.
tauchain will be the decentralized construct we'll build using the self-defining alpha.
two major differences between knowledge and processes: processes(=programs), we can execute, and we want to reason also over their behavior once executed. but tau is a program, so in order to self-define itself, it must support programs.



That sounds great if will be framed in a current worldview of potential investors. Worldview is a term I use here to determine a set of values, biases  and pain points in a heads of people who encounter a new crypto project. How the values tau brings to the table can support those worldviews, give a better solution, solve the pain?

Examples of some possible worldviews of investors in crypto community:


1. Governments and corporations control everything
2. AI will replace men in most of fields
3. Bitcoin is not private enough
4. Privacy is on high demand now day's
5. Bitcoin decentralization can be affected by centralization of miners
6. Decentralized smart contracts can eliminate the need to involve a trusted third party in projects
7. Etherium is the best and fastest growing smart contracts environment today
8. Technology still vulnerable to hackers attacks
9. TheDAO fiasco can happen again.

Those are just an examples, and might not reflect the real target audience worldviews, a deeper research needed here.

What exactly the self-amending nature of tau can drastically improve ?
How other project can be implemented on tau and what are the advantages?
Will network will be more secure than today's alternatives?
Can privacy coins technologies (like cryptonote and z-cash) be implemented on tau?

imo the answer to this kind of questions the potential investors consciously or unconsciously seek, and that's what going to catch the attention
My proposal here might be incomplete, yet hopefully not worthless Smiley

I think this is a great idea, but the choice of exchanges makes me literally unable to invest. I am not about to submit a copy of my passport to a Chinese exchange.  It is absolutely absurd that they are not offering the tokens themselves, or on exchanges that anyone can easily use.  This was a terrible decision by the developers.

I guess this is what they had to do due to China regulations.  I don't understand what was the reason to open the company under such regulations

I do not understand why the dev does not try to increase ICO sales with some news?

Yes, there is no hype at all around this project and indeed it doesn't seem to bother the team. No bounty campaign, no press release... looks like ICO is not a significant part of the strategy. At least not now, maybe they gonna shoot at the end... Still, might be nice if they could explain such unusual strategy
