Hello

I'd like to sell BTC. I prefer we use this guy for escrow OgNasty. I'll cover the escrow fees. Please pm me if interested.

I need equivalent of 0.126 BTC sent via Westen union at previaling price. Escrow is a must.

PM me or contact me via discord. BlockMechanic#8560

I'd encourage caution when dealing with this user, they flat out rejected escrow and that made me back out of the deal.

I need equivalent of 0.046 BTC sent via Westen union , Moneygram or World Remit at previaling price. Escrow is a must.

TALK has now been listed on a new exchange, please download clients from the new thread. Happy staking and trading !

New Update released :-  Talkcoin

We have found a new exchange for TALK and are also pursuing other exchanges to list the coin. Please send BTC to
 1TALKKm3NsChVzuPbdmvuDPMTW2Ld8Ss7 to donate to this drive and also if you can spare some to help maintain nodes and explorer.

We need 0.15 BTC for the exchange listing.

My answer geared towards bitcoin based coins :-

Mobile staking depends on the client (wallet) type and this has three approaches, namely Normal Staking, SPV Staking and Offline Staking.


Normal staking

Normal staking as you already know requires running a full node, this means you have a computer that has a complete and up to date validated copy of the bockchain. It takes coins based on maturity from the wallet and attempts to create and sign a block , we call this a coinstake. There is a general misconception that a wallet needs to be online 24/7 in order to stake. this is false. All a wallet needs really is mature coins. So with a currency that has a 24 hour maturity or maturity dependent on block count, your wallet could be offline 99% of the time, you only start it around the time of maturity, sync with the chain, stake , wait for confirms then tuen it off. Rinse and repeat every maturity period.  

To stake normally on a mobile device the fastest approach is to adapt the core wallet to work on mobile devices. This is something i have already achieved See below scren shot of my test case Bitcointalkcoin :-



Pros

This is by far the fastest way to get it done right now.
Developers need only maintain one codebase that is used across all platforms
Standardization is easier due to familiar controls
Developments, updates and upgrades in Bitcoin and PoS coins in general can easily be applied and deployed across all
The wallet can be used as a full node
In the case of coins with masternodes, you can have mobile masternodes

Cons

If the chain grows too large, syncing via mobile networks can become tedious.
the interface was originally designed for desktops and requires mobification to be usable on mobile (touch) devices. Especially so with small screen devices such as phones.


SPV Staking

SPV staking is something I have been working to develop and basically involves enabling clients (wallets) to stake without the need to have a complete copy of the blockchain.
Essentially clients would request the necessary data from existing full nodes on the chain. At the moment i am working on enabling SPV staking in the typical core wallet as well as a dedicated light wallet.

Pros
Faster sync times
Far lower data overhead


Cons

Requires trusting other nodes
Other than the staked blocks, does not add to network stability


Offline Staking


Offline staking is still conceptual and i am not yet sure how to secure the network in that scenario while maintaining complete decentralization.



So to summarize, mobile staking is already a reality from where i stand. The next step is just making it wide spread. The real goal for me now is reliable SPV staking.


If anyone has questions, feel free to ask.

At the moment I am also doing an android wallet based on qt :-

So yeah, if you like my work and the pay is reasonable, i'm in.

Nova is shuting down, we are trying to get listed on alternative exchanges. Anyone who can spare some BTC to cover costs, your donations would be most appreciated :-

Hopefully iOS in a bit too.

We now have a confirmed android build, still ironing out the issues.

The wallet is a FULL node, so you can stake from your android device. One of the reasons i am still keeping it in house is to try nd figure out if SPV staking can be achieved. Such a breakthrough would be game changing for a stake coin.

I am very behind in development but will be listing CLAM pairs as well. Wallet fell out of sync last night for some reason.

Dont mind the warning, the ssl certificate is just for development.

Once testing is complete , I'll open for trading.

If nyone has an account on Yobit, please do notify them that there has been a swap.

In order for the planned crosschain messaging to work , I have approached several teams so that we build a network. We will see who wants in.

Hi all !

How can i contact thie project's developers ?

With Facebook officially under fire , this leaves room for solutions like my own to step in and gain traction. The server has been up for a while. Mostly working on a major update that will enable all crypto functionality.

Those are obsolete now and will be removed, theey were meant to help with mining the first 10000 blocks which were PoW to help bootstrap staking... but working with another user we managed to whittle down the PoW blocks to less that 250 in total. So @ 5 TALK per block, we only added less that 1250 coins in order  to get PoS reliably working. I consider this a massive success
