1541  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BitBay OFFICIAL BITBAY Thread Smart Contracts Decentralized Markets Rolling Peg on: October 29, 2018, 02:19:42 PM
Where do we stand on pegging process?
Did we finished testing mode?

Yeah all the tests went perfectly well. Yshurik is converting my code in Python to c++ to increase processing speed and I'm coding the exchange implementation which also needs to track the peg. That part is almost done in Python and then we just need to test it on anoxy's exchange which we will encourage all of the users to trade on the demo exchange which will probably just use testnet coins. If time allows we can have a little promotion for that. After the exchange implementation is tested then we have something to show all the exchanges. Then we release it into the wild.

Great news, which exchange is anoxy's?

Did you attend the london conference on the 25th David? that looks like you in the pic at the front nearest the camera?

As we are approaching December in just over a month's time which will be the most favorable cryptocoin to invest? Will it be traditional investment tactics like bitcoin and ethereum or some other altcoins? I guess it will be really tough job this year looking at the current market trend.

Nothing really hard about it for real enthusiasts that months years watching learning the markets.

Find the REAL dev teams that have a real use case and have proven staying power.

This accumulation period will make many life changing amounts of returns.

Like the idea for gaming and VR for sure... but this is one sector i think will have huge competition so have to wait and see which get the network effect

Of course with a great implementation of VR and huge team of devs then this will be massive.

with all the fake traffic and volume I'm not sure anyone can say who is the largest exchange for REAL investors

bittrex blew their chance with reducing features and closing trades and not even showing your trade history on each coin page accept for the last week or 2

LOL yeah sounds like  a serious contender.

Backing up the truck and getting rid of useless junk like bitcoin whilst I great projects like this are willing to exchange.
1546  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: October 29, 2018, 01:32:16 PM
Byteball has been under my radar for my portfolio since April this year.
Honestly, I bought 5 GBYTE for my portfolio and will not sell all of them at the moment.

There is room for a good 20 -50 x from here on the next bull if a few things are sorted out before then.
It is way below value right now.
1547  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: October 29, 2018, 12:16:15 PM
Byte is going to stay, is too fundamental.

Snowbyte
Flatbyte
Rollbyte
Linkbyte
Jointbyte  Wink
Ballbyte lol

or my favs:
Witnessbyte
Witbyte<- seriously, I would choose it

Another thing is the pair name/currency.

If you put Byte first, bytes will be the currency.

If you put Byte last, name could be the currency.

For instance:
bytesnow-> byte currency, bytesnow name -> I don't like it, too complex. Also, to me, bytesnow as a currency which represent 1 byte sounds way bad.
snowbyte-> snowbyte currency, snowbyte name -> better


witbyte is dreadful I mean byteball is 100X better than that already.

I don't think the name is that bad but of course 1 word names are a fav with most people. Nano, dash etc.

I'm sure if TonyCh even allows for the possibility for a name change we can do far better as a community than that list.

sensible move, 
1549  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are we still "Early Adopters"? on: October 28, 2018, 09:32:03 PM
Yes for certain. I mean even if you are in the first 2-3% of users you must be considered as an early adopter. I would doubt we are even near that yet for real investors.

I'm not saying this wasn't really even worth mentioning... but actually it probably really was not even worth a mention at all considering it will have perhaps 0.000000001% influence with the CC market as a whole.

Quark update

        【 Cyrptopia reopens Quark's deposit and withdrawal 】

This is good news, I like Cryptopia exchange and is one of the best out there.

I did think this before they started flash delisting and deleting coins without even the possibility within that time frame to withdraw.

That is not good

About 3% of the world's energy is solar and that comes out of nuclear, not hydrocarbons...



what?  Roll Eyes
What you are saying mate, you are saying solar also and then saying that it is generated from nuclear... Huh Are you high on weeds??
May be you are correct in this sense.

Solar Energy comes from sun where Nuclear Fission is taking place... Grin

1553  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: With DEXs like BancorX coming out soon how long until EOS will need a side chain on: October 26, 2018, 12:49:03 PM
Mike Novogratz said he thinks EOS could reach 50,000 TPS by the end of the year, so I think we will need big exchanges like BancorX or viral video games to push it that far, however i'm not sure how many TPS the mainnet can handle until we need a side chain?
I know about decentralized exchange Bancor (which is not fully decentalized, like we saw after hack few months ago Cheesy)
But what does BancorX mean? Tell us more please.

Don't expect a favourable answer if you are really looking for decentralised trustless solutions.
1554  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How to determine if projects/coins will survive the bear market? on: October 26, 2018, 12:44:16 PM
Old solid projects with real use cases that are almost complete

not many so do your home work

stop buying into 2.0 3.0 4.0 snake oil

Bitcoins " weaknesses" are insoluble if you want to retain all of its " strengths"

there are some alt project that are very targeted and in that way are ahead of btc development in that specific area. With enough network effect they will survive after btc is pushed into their backyard.
1555  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Stablecoin War on: October 26, 2018, 12:39:28 PM
I would prefer the elegant and trustless, fully decentralised and transparent version of a smoothing peg like bitbay
1556  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the Best consensus in your opinion? POW, DPOW or POS? on: October 26, 2018, 12:37:10 PM
POW - distribution - - the only trustless way

POS3 or posp  - long term security

forget the rest

Never let a project require a period of trust else it is fucked forever
1557  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Declining DOGE prices on: October 26, 2018, 12:30:15 PM
Doge goes through constant cycles of 30-100

There was actually some news to cause the last spring up but there does not need to be any really, it just does its thing

1558  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the safest and most anonymous stable coin? on: October 26, 2018, 12:28:18 PM
Bitbay will become the best stable coin

It has not as yet turned it's attention to anon and perhaps will not

However it is the best attempt yet at a trustless decentralised stable coin.
1559  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: October 25, 2018, 11:52:14 AM
I encourage whole Byteball team to see some Antonopoulos videos to know why byteball is not decentralized, and why you should not market the platform focusing on that. Because it is not true.

12 witnesses = 12 central points of failure but, of course, with the same power of another node (no absolute power like dpos crap) and marked as trustable by majority of users.

Byteball distributes trust amongst 12 witnesses. It is a distributed trust system, not a decentralized one. Decentralized implies no single point of failure, and this is not the case.

I think new platform name should reflect all those things.

What is the single point of failure then? There is none. In fact, I would argue that Byteball  is more decentralized by design than Bitcoin or Ethereum. When we have a lot more than 12 different witnesses to choose from it will also be more decentralized in practice.
That would have to be thousands. - How realistic is that?

Just imagine via black bites a growing market for weapons, drugs, child pornography develops...
In connection with this, high-profile entities as witnesses? Seriously?

In the future, every witness would have to fear being overrun by the henchmen of state power.

This is kind of a serious concern.

What can be done to shield witnesses from this? mask their id or perhaps 12 pools of witnesses that are on random rotation

I mean if there was super serious opposition regarding anon cc then blackbytes could be dropped to preserve the project
1560  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which qualities will Bitcoin’s successor possess ? on: October 24, 2018, 05:51:13 PM
I don't believe you will see a successor as such you will just see a gradual evolution from btc matching what people want from it.

Then again looking to the future with any sort of reliability requires that which is beyond most people.

Most alts touted as successors don't seem to offer anything new without taking away in other areas.
