Belacoin - Supercharging entrepreneurship with the power of the blockchain

[RhinoTrader]

We will reach out to Bittrex more after the hard fork. Adding a new exchange sometime in the next 10 days is difficult since they would need to update their wallets already to accommodate the DGW integration. It's easier for them to add us after we get through this.

Speaking of Dark Gravity Wave, the block countdown site, BelaDGW.com, was just edited to show the estimated time left until the hard fork occurs. Currently, there's about 11.09 days left.

Thats awesome, yea 10 days is not a worry, just good to know it is in the plans.

You can probably start reaching out to bittrex now and plan the addition to Bittrex so that they can add it immediately after the hardfork

Yeah the growing sentiment seems to be that Poloniex is pretty much on a downhill slope. It takes me so much time just to login, keeps loggin out without any reason (5 mins in, im actually looking at a chart and its getting logged out - wtf), also the UI is buggy and slow, the numbers dont update in time ...
Bitrex is most solid exchange around

It's finally here, we're integrating Dark Gravity Wave at block 715,000. You can track the block countdown at http://BelaDGW.com. If you have a desktop wallet, there is a mandatory update that you will have to get (more info at the end of this post).


What is Dark Gravity Wave?
A new and improved mining difficulty regulator

Dark Gravity Wave is an open-source cryptocurrency mining difficulty regulator created by Evan Duffield, one of the lead developers of Dash. It was created for the purpose of defending against time warp exploits, although its benefits reach beyond just that.

Whereas Kimoto Gravity Well (Belacoin's current difficulty regulator) only considers the difficulty during the previous block, Dark Gravity Wave uses moving averages to determine the best change to the mining difficulty. DGW retargets every block to act quickly against large fluctuations in mining power, and it does so in a controlled manner.


What are the benefits?
Regular block times and a more secure blockchain

Security: Dark Gravity Wave protects from the time warp exploit. This allows someone to mine a string of blocks and force his blocks over everyone else’s. Dark Gravity Wave was created with the purpose of preventing this from happening.

Faster Transactions: This is where most Belacoin community members will realize the benefits of Dark Gravity Wave. Belacoin transactions will take around 2-minutes to be processed whereas under the current situation, it sometimes takes 12 - 36 hours. Exchanges can also lower the amount of confirmations that they require for deposits since there will be no more time warp exploits.

More Miners: Some miners quit mining Belacoin since their blocks were being orphaned, causing them to lose their mining rewards. Bringing more miners to the blockchain makes it more secure, faster, and reliable for everyone.

Controlled Difficulty: Dark Gravity Wave uses moving averages to determine the difficulty of the next block. This protects it from malicious spikes in net hash rate that then jump off the blockchain, meaning we can continue mining easily and at regular intervals through those events.


How will my coins stay safe through the hard fork?
Updating your wallet or keeping them on an exchange / web wallet

If you have a desktop wallet, you will need to update your wallet to our latest release, v1.1.0.0. You can find instructions on how to do this here: https://github.com/TheAmbiaFund/Belacoin/releases

Another option is to send and keep your Belacoin on an exchange or web wallet that you trust. Your exchange will have to update their wallet system, and in doing so, all Belaccoin kept on their exchange will transition over to the new blockchain. We are coordinating with the exchanges on this.

Awesome news! Will update my wallet tonight Can't wait for the DGW fork and the new updates regarding BelaCam. Coin could use a nice boost to get back in the top100

[btcdiggingmaster]

Many people are waiting for this news because past 3 months there is no increase in the price. Better if BelaCoin is listed on other exchanges then the price of Belacoin will increase and at the same time, we can able to increase user base community to BelaCoin also.

Developers here is a question -

In the future how will people buy belacoin? Is it through Polo?

Because honestly then I dont see many using it, dont expect the average person to use Poloniex to buy belacoin to use belacam

[aoluain]

Well never mind about the future, currently anyone
Can buy belacoin directly on the bittylicious website

thanks great, but I wanted to know if there were plans to buy Bela directly without any bitcoin/crypto related middleware.

[The Ambia Fund]

On Bittylicious.com, you can buy BELA with a debit card, credit card, or bank transfer payment. Once we get Belacam Gamma out there and working steadily, we will be looking into allowing users to purchase Belacoin with a debit or credit card directly from within Belacam.

Also, everyone, please do not participate in that service "Cryptoclone" that was posted on the previous page. There is a 99.9% chance that it is a scam.

[needmoney]

Hey guys, is there a detalied explanation of what Belacam Gamma really is, what is the progress on it and when can we expected to a full launch?

It seems that there are people actively accumulating this coin so I thought I'd give it a shot after learning a bit more about to project.

Thanks.

We're talked about Belacam Gamma a lot in our Slack (Belacoin.herokuapp.org), but much of it is still in work. Right now, our team is adding new features and overhauling the design. Belacam Beta proved the business concept (51% of photos get likes), so Belacam Gamma is more focused on getting the site scalable and beginning to branch out beyond just cryptocurrency users.

In short, Belacam Gamma looks and works a lot more like a real social media site. New features include cover photos, a smarter feed algorithm, USD balance estimates, trending hashtags, and more. Beyond that, almost every single feature that currently exists in Beta has gotten an upgrade. The lightbox is enhanced, you can edit your bio, cover photo, and profile pic directly from your user page, and uploading has been made much easier. We've posted screenshots on Belacoin's twitter account and in our Slack, but we're holding off on really promoting it well until we're almost ready to go.

Why is Belacoin so much undervalued?

51% of photos getting likes is quite healthy and I think
This will rise as the photo quality rises as it is bound to
Do when people realise they need to improve their postings.

I have seen the belabam gamma images and they look amazing For sure.

Which pool is now minning most coins?

H2C has 1Ghash or below and suprnova has 3.5 gigs. Total is above 100.

[The Ambia Fund]

Just in now from Coinomi: Belacoin will also be included in Coinomi Desktop Wallets for Windows, Linux and MacOS which are about to be released

That's great news! Coinomi is one of the largest multiwallets out there. Currently, they're only available on the Android app store. Desktop wallets are a great thing.

[aoluain]

This is interesting,

I have downloaded the Belacoin wallet 1.1.0.0 and is installed
and syncing perfectly, I also have the Coinomi desktop wallet
downloaded and installed but I am not currently using it.

Is there an advantage with one over the other?
