[ANN][XRB]Cryptocurrency's killer app: RaiBlocks micropayments

[RXTRR]

congrats on the http://myraiwallet.com wallet alpha - will really bring things up to speed!

[Byte16]

Why do people compare RAIblocks to Iota? What do they have in common?

I guess they compare XRB & IOTA because of transactions without fees (only these 2 coins) + DAG (notable ByteBall, IOTA)

Justify why the price of this crypt should increase at the end of the distribution? Because it's money from the air!

It wouldn't - it will increase now  compare this VS IOTA - only comparable tech available yet we have 1/200th of the marketcap 

The sell books are so thin all the way up to 8k satoshi - and if this hits bittrex soon.. my god help it

IOTA 2.7 Billion supply. You cant compare it with xrb.

Total Supply is mostly an irrelevant factor IMO.

This website mentioned above is a scam site and it will get hold of your seed, so I suggest people to stay away from it and also be careful with the basis of cryto currency. Never give your private key or seed to any one or any site, else you will lose your all coins. This statement is true for all currency's including Btc and alts and not just xrb.

Even tho I don't get end goal of XRB. So far we know no fees not just another bitcoin clone. Apart from this. I am just waiting for future plans. How it can be used just like btc. Lets see what happens after 100% distribution done. Mean while dev's will keep fixing sync issues.

Agree XRB needs some kind of future plan to grow more.  But the DEV is quite active and the community is ok.

Better Roadmap , 2 more Devs and we talking different about XRB

I have two questions:

• Do I need to wait for the wallet application to fully synchronize in order to send/receive XRB?
• Is it recommended to keep the wallet application running all the day (so that it can keep synchronizing)?

By the way, the synchronization seems to take a very long time. Yesterday, I installed the wallet application and managed to get it synchronized. But today, I have kept the wallet application running for more than one hour, and the number of blocks it is showing is just 2619011 (4780) while the number on the RaiBlocks homepage is being 2,639,286 (1,199).
Update after about two more hours: Finally, I'm see both numbers being the same. I guess it just fully synchronized again.

top 200 up to 500 or 1000 is best

[ethantaylor]

top 200 up to 500 or 1000 is best

I don't think so. Increasing the number of tops reduces every toper's earning. Take "top 500" for example, everyone would end up solving thousands of captchas and earn only about 34 XRB (17,000 / 500).

Thank you very much. So every time when I want to send/receive XRB, I have to wait a certain amount of time (can be more than 3 hours at the first time of a day) in order to let the wallet application synchronize first. In my opinion, that is a huge disadvantage of this coin. Hopefully, things could be changed so that synchronization is not needed.

well its been tackle before and there's no clear resolution yet and maybe also the reason why we are still waiting for some hope for this coin
be added inside trex as i heard before that trex got interested but requires this coin to have stable wallet just not too sure yet.

There has been a lot of work on improving the sync of the wallet, both when starting from zero but also keeping in sync, its now looking like syncing from scratch in a few hours rather than a few days and it might be possible to get it to be even quicker. Due to the block lattice design its not as simple as just downloading a single file as the processing can take a bit of time even if the blocks have all been downloaded. Lots of the recent commits to the wallet github are around this so watch this space...

If you want to see if you are in sync you can check out https://yapraiwallet.space/status which checks a number of services for their block counts.

Leaving your wallet open is a good idea as it will remain in sync, the big nodes such as on the online wallets are on all the time and remain in sync.

It is not every user who knows that third party wallets are managed by the developers themselves.
If such information were more accessible, new users would be encouraged to use  them. This would inhibit these attempts of scam.

While the current 3rd party wallets are run by people involved with development of RaiBlocks hopefully more people are going to make more services including online wallets. To get your wallet on https://raiblockscommunity.net/ homepage you need to provide that its safe - this is where we should direct users.

If you want to or are developing a new service using RaiBlocks its a good idea to go to #development on the RaiBlocks slack and introduce your services as thats going to speed up its validation/recognition etc.

As with all cryptocurrency you should always be cautious...

So are we nearing a point when Bittrex might be satisfied enough with the code/wallet sync to add this?

[t3ChNo]

We really need a wallet that syncs fast and wouldn't wait for days just to get it up-to-date.
