Don't quote the troll,  he obviously doesn't understand i2p or how it can work with Sling.

it's not a problem of i2p, it's you think all data stored in the blockchain will be encrypted forever!

[Tulsene]

The idea is IT DOESN'T MATTER -  IF NONE OF THE DATA IS LINKED TO YOU

YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOT

bold is like violence, it's happend when ppl have no argument

Seriously? OMG! I re-write the sentence and please read it carefully because you totally miss the point : No one want a market stored in the blockchain! You pretending to be annon and you want to store those data on a blockchain ...

Yah, it is not a good idea to store the buyer and/or seller's personal information on a public blockchain but that is not what is being done here.

All that is stored on the market blockchain are the item for sale, public key of buyer, public key of seller, date sold, and purchase price, NOT any personally identifiable information like buyer's name, shipping address, etc...  I am not sure how you would resolve a public key (likely stealth pubkey) to a real person. How does this compromise anonymity more than any other form of crypto?

Vendors and buyers keep feeding the Amazon and eBay machines.  Let's give them more money to use their insecure web sites.  Do you know how many people hack into eBay, PayPal and Amazon accounts and steal personal information including money because of their lack of security?  They still don't use 2FA.

No people are getting angry because first of all, you are bringing in a lot of negativity. And second of all, you continuously fail to understand the point, thus pissing people off.
Going to put you on ignore now, and I advice others in this thread to do the same. It would be nice to have a moderated thread as well so that we can keep the disinformation and negativity out of our thread.

First.. I apologize to everyone else (but the troll Tulsene) for my anger,  I shouldn't let trolls create anger, its what they want.

I'm guessing the way that could be linked is when you're using clearnet and you can see your IP on irc,  could be linked through what's called "coincidental occurrence"
ie. watching what IP is active at certain times when transactions happen,  plus if they are a seller they could guesstimate a link between IP and the transaction.

This is just my best guess of the process someone might use. 
I thought I read somewhere that's how bitcoin transactions were being traced - coincidental occurrence / pattern analysis.

Thanks lol..  too bad it had to start from arguing with a troll

Okay, I get it.  So VPN, Tor or I2P would solve this and obscure the real IP for those that care to hide it.  I guess it is inevitable to use this technology for dark markets and people are going to want to hide their IP.  I was hoping this would be an eBay buster, not a dark market but I don't see why it can't be used as both if we add filters.

I2P is built into this coin.  I need to play around with it.  I see code to support Tor but I don't think it is fully implemented except for a masternode setup.  Maybe a built in VPN (like VPNcoin) would help?

See that's the way I was seeing the marketplace as well was more of an ebay type in-wallet store where people could sell their wares and what not but having the added feature to remain anonymous I guess helps with people who would rather sell illegal or questionable items on the marketplace lol  Cheers

Looks like support got hammered today. Must be the masternodes dumping.....

Do you still need help with masternode setup?  Are you using Linux or Windows?

[rahmad2nd]

any news ??
price really sick..

[Guns1inger]

Whats up Slingers !?!!

At least the price (although low) seems evenly / stable.  
Important for use as a currency!

Tried this and it compiled without error but when starting slingd it just hangs.  Command prompt never comes back even after hitting return several times. Have to Ctrl-C it.  Any ideas what could be wrong?

did you try

Code:

slingd &

usually do that to get the prompt back.

More info:

    why run a Linux shell command with &?

To get your prompt back immediately, and run the process in the background.

    What are the function of them?

nohup allows the background process to continue running even after the user logs out (or exits the initiating shell).

>& redirects both standard output and standard error into the log file.

& runs the whole thing in the background, giving you your prompt back immediately.

Explanation:

Every Linux process opens three I/O channels, an input "stdin", a standard output "stdout" and a standard error output "stderr". They can be used for binary but are traditionally text. When most programs see stdin close, they exit (this can be changed by the programmer).

When the parent shell exits, stdin is closed on the children, and (often, usually) the children exit as well. In addition the children receive a software signal, SIGHUP, indicating the user has "hung up" (formerly, the modem) and the default here is to exit as well. (Note, a programmer can change all of this when writing the program).

So, what nohup does is give the child process a separate I/O environment, tying up the ins and outs to something not tied to the parent shell, and shielding the child from the SIGHUP signal. Once the user disconnects, you will see the nohup background process owned by init (process 1), not the user's shell.

However nohup cannot do the job completely if the process is run in the foreground, so & is used to run the program in the background, where it can happily stay running with or without a user logged in.

Thanks for the reply.  I should have mentioned that when attempting to load / run the compiled slingd it uses 0% cpu and very very minimal memory with 0 connections after 20 hours with the same node list I'm using for my windows wallet.  This is the same whether I start it in a screen session or run it as a background task

[CryptoTrout]

wow this coin got shit on

Did you :
cd ~/.sling
tail -f debug.log  

to see what's happening?
