IT´S JUSt MARKETING!


and btw:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXVVBmvC-Gg

He also confirms Pura is a scam!



So is this a scam coin?  Pure and Pure both are private coins whatsthe difference?
Over and over again, the PURA publisher has seen all the coin flaws of today and has made PURA a great feat of history. Thanks to PURA


100% scam


Have a look at their video. It´s pure trash and like all the other ponzi projects. A nice lightshow (muahaha), a guy in his best clothes, nice pictures (save the world theme for the good hipster , sport car (also for the hipster, because he also want to make money, not just safe the world) and nice places ... et voila ....

marketing for the stupids...unfortunately it works


ps: for all investors. Search for "Ponzi scheme" and compare this guys, vids, blabla with all the other ponzi´s out there! Same story, different faces.

After that, search for "cryptocoin videos" from ethereum, waves, iota, or another legit project and compare.

NOBODY has a lightshow, NOBODY a sleazy person like pura, but EVERYONE talks and show the project itself!  No blabla earn xxx money, no blabla save the world with a coin (mauahahaha) , no buy our coin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PURA WHITEPAPER
ABSTRACT
A self-funded, self-governed, private, instant and secure cryptocurrency based on Dash, the work
of Evan Duffield and team (itself based on Bitcoin, the work of Satoshi Nakamoto), elaborated with
democratically-decided blockchain-transparent social contribution executed without a central
authority, to support the socially responsible decentralisation of currency. Budgets for social
contribution, user/merchant adoption and usage incentivisation, budget compounding activities,
development and marketing are included as well as a three-tier network and improved mining
difficulty adjustment for better distribution and growth, governance improvements to promote
increased decentralisation and democratic freedom and various scalability and transaction speed
improvements.
We’ve taken an advanced and successful cryptocurrency protocol and built mass-adoption
strategy into the protocol design in order to support an aggressive market penetration and
mainstream acceptance, whilst providing an alternative to centrally organised social contribution,
or a way to be your own government
INTRODUCTION
Thanks to the work of Satoshi Nakamoto and Evan Duffield and team, digital currency has
reached a maturity level where it can function as a form of digital cash; where an end-user can
send an instant, private and secure transaction across a network, and where the network itself
can self-fund and self-govern its development and growth efforts in a decentralised manner.
Aside from the technical challenges which must be overcome to compete with credit cards, banks
and fiat currencies like those needed to scale safely and performantly, we believe many of the
key elements required for a cryptocurrency to function as digital cash or a payment method are
fundamentally in place, and that the success of a cryptocurrency is becoming more dependent on
adoption factors like user interfaces, price stability and network effect.
For this reason, and in the same way as it would be unnecessary or inappropriate to reinvent the
wheel, or the fundamentals of a motor engine to build one’s vision for a car, we have chosen a
derivative of the open source Dash code (itself derived from Bitcoin) for its two-tier network with
incentivised masternodes and advanced transaction speed and privacy features as the starting
point for our development team to build upon, while adding several improvements related to our
purpose, brand vision and mass-adoption strategy.
PURPOSE
1. THE POLITICAL EMPOWERMENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL
2. THE RESPONSIBLE DECENTRALISATION OF CURRENCY
JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Jamie Dimon recently explained Bitcoin and digital currencies
with the words:
“Right now these crypto things are kind of a novelty. People think they’re kind of neat. But the bigger
they get, the more governments are going to close them down”
The backlash against the decentralisation of currency is not a matter of “if” but “when”.
When we examine the mainstream reasoning against cryptocurrencies we find a legitimate
concern.
If governments lose control over currency, its distribution and movement, into the hands of the
people, and the collection of taxes and social security becomes dependent on the individual’s
voluntary choice, will there be a loss in the budget for services the government provides? The
answer is inevitably yes.
If we examine why, we find any number of reasons such as…
• Force and coercion is used to collect taxes and social security, which causes pain and actions
that seek to avoid that pain
• Social dilemma and apathy kicks in when people can’t see, comprehend nor appreciate the
value centralised systems of government provide them with, and may either not choose to
contribute consistently, not choose to contribute at all, or may simply forget. (The same is
equally true for purely voluntary decentralised alternatives at least during any reorientation
period to a new form of social organisation).
• A decentralised alternative is not yet available for them to support
• They are not yet familiar with or able to understand or use the alternative yet
• And so on…
However, the original intent behind taxes and social contributions is clearly a good one. Even the
most extreme libertarian will concede the money for education, schools, hospitals, ambulances,
firefighters, and the like has to come from somewhere, at least until the day when all services are
successfully decentralised, if ever.
And so the question arises as to what can be
cryptocurrency grows to the extent that those losses have a truly negative and significant effect,
and can decentralised currency co-exist side by side with centralised currency and still be good for
society and support the best intentions of social security or taxes at the same time.
We propose a simplistic but guiding answer is whether a specific cryptocurrency is a social giver or a taker by protocol design.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model
that makes the existing model obsolete.” (R. Buckminster Fuller)
While we are under no illusion that we are going to prevent the imminent backlash, solve the
world’s social contribution collection problems or replace the distribution process behind
a central government’s budget funds, we do propose to take the political empowerment of
individuals to an unprecedented level and give them tools to explore how we might begin to
cocreate a route that represents a more responsible decentralisation of currency.
By building decentralised social responsibility and contribution into our brand fibre and protocol
design, and by putting the decision-making power on how those funds are spent into the
hands of our users, we aim to provide an environment that pioneers a new method of societal
organisation, enabling politically empowered individuals to not only be their own bank, but get a
feel for what it could be like to, in part, be their own government.
THE CASE FOR THE COMMON GOOD
We believe individuals are fundamentally good, and by giving our users a voice, a choice, and a
way to collaborate, the shared will they pursue is good for society and the world.
Therefore rather than a central authority deciding what the “common good” is and enforcing its
definition onto others, we propose to provide the tools and environment for individual users to
do so through their vote on the funding of social and environmental projects proposed by the
community.
Hence our brand is dubbed “The digital cash movement for the common good”.
BRAND STRATEGY
The fact cryptocurrencies are in a race for mass-adoption is clear.
Branding is one of the major factors that makes people chose one brand over another, and
ultimately part of the battle in who wins the race for mass adoption, who survives and who goes
to zero.
EMERGING MARKET READY
Pura, while a global cryptocurrency, is named with Latin American emerging markets in mind
where the pain to switch to non-deflationary currency is driven by factors like storing the value of
one’s life savings, or the solution cryptocurrency provides the global remittance market where for
example workers or students need to send money back to their home countries is significant, and
where adoption is driven more by basic urgent need.
A PURPOSE-DRIVEN BRAND
According to research by Cone Communications and Edelman:
• Consumers are more likely to trust a brand that shows its direct impact on society
• Upwards of 80 percent, are more likely to purchase from a company that can quantifiably
show how it makes a difference in people’s lives.
• 89 percent are likely to switch brands to one that is associated with a good cause if price and
quality are similar
Edelman’s “Good Purpose Study,” released in 2012 but still relevant and covering a five-year study
of consumers worldwide showed:
• 47 percent of global consumers buy brands that support a good cause at least monthly, a 47
percent increase in just two years.
• 72 percent of consumers would recommend a brand that supports a good cause over one
that doesn’t, a 39 percent increase since 2008
• 71 percent of consumers would help a brand promote its products or services if there is a
good cause behind them, representing a growth of 34 percent since 2008
• 73 percent of consumers would switch brands if a different brand of similar quality supported
a good cause, which is a 9 percent increase since 2009
This new state of purpose-driven consumerism doesn’t just show people still have a heart and
soul, it is a big flag to brands to integrate Social Responsibility into their brand fibre, customer
experience and marketing programs.
By positioning Pura as a purpose-driven brand with democratically-decided social contribution
built into it’s core architecture and brand fibre, Pura gives end-users a way to make a difference to
the lives of others and have a direct impact on the environment.
This unique selling point gives mass-market end-users and merchants a clear and
compelling
ideological reason to consistently choose Pura over the competition.
A brand image that stands for something truly positive with sticky emotional substance that
motivates and engages people to express their purpose and values through our brand will help
catalyse adoption and build brand equity.
A community of end-users who rally behind a purpose in the pursuit of a shared will, will build an
enthusiastic and optimistic community, long-term loyalty and numerous other benefits.

We also believe a brand image of esteem and goodwill will challenge and help eliminate some of
the “Wild-West” perceptions of cryptocurrency that may exist in the minds of the mass market and
assist with mainstream acceptance of our brand.
And by being the world’s first socially and environmentally conscious cryptocurrency that is
programmed by protocol design to contribute up to 10% of its mining rewards to the common
 Pura is positioned to capture the hearts and minds of the rising trend and growing
subculture of purpose-driven users and merchants today and over the coming years, who want to
make a difference, and choose brands that have a direct impact on the world.
By riding this rising trend we are well positioned for growth.
USER & MERCHANT PREFERRED
Several adoption tactics will be built into the protocol design for users as well as merchants. These
will give users not interested in the purpose of our brand several compelling reasons to switch.
Details to be disclosed in a later whitepaper version due to their competitive nature.
NETWORK EFFECT
We have chosen to build in several levels of mass-adoption strategy into the Pura protocol in
order to be aggressive enough to be able to catch up and compete with established currencies
existing network effects and overtake them.
CONTRIBUTIONS NETWORK EFFECT
We envision that the social contribution aspect of our brand and the funding of related projects
will create a global network of collaborators to include non-profits and prosocial causes and we
imagine this will cause a multidimensional distribution of Pura extending up into their supply
chain of partners and fund recipients, generating a significant adoption spill-over effect.
For example, in the case of any non-profit work which our community decides to fund, we
anticipate Pura wallet ownership pressure will increase for suppliers and partners who deal with
Pura donation recipients, simply because passing on funds from Pura wallet to Pura wallet is
quicker, easier and cheaper than going through an exchange, fiat and related bank accounts in
order to reach their destination.
DAO NETWORK EFFECT
We believe the use of a layer of masternodes to reach consensus on network changes quickly,
and the political empowerment of masternode operators with a democratic voice and vote on
proposals and the decisions surrounding the spending of treasury funds is both a paradigm shift
and a social breakthrough.
Furthermore, inviting a community of users to get involved and submit proposals is in part
responsible for the quick growth of passionate, engaged and invested communities.
However, we believe the full potential of DAOs to drive adoption and build communities is largely
untapped.
So far DAOs have attracted the early market of techies and early adopters and engaged them in
activities like governance around network issues, and treasury decisions around proposals related
to development of the network, software layers, functionality and various marketing activities.
The dual DAO model of Pura will do all this but also include another DAO that takes the political
empowerment of the individual to the next level, by giving not only masternode owners, but our
entire user base a vote and a way to make a difference.
We believe the use of a DAO in this way will generate further network effect that not only engages
the early market, but pulls in more of the mass-market. As a result we envisage a rapid and
sizable growth of a community of interested end-users and merchants.
MERCHANT AND USER ADOPTION TACTICS
We are under no illusion that our social contributions DAO unique selling proposition is
interesting to the entire mass-market. An important segment of adopters will gravitate to our
brand and stick to it, while many will not and do not care about being their own bank let alone, in
a sense, being their own government, but they would use a new technology if it saves them time
and money in their daily lives.
To address this we have several tactics planned for the network that form an aggressive massadoption
strategy for user acquisition and retention, and merchant adoption. (To be revealed
when appropriate given their competitive nature).
FAIR MINING NETWORK EFFECT
The Pura network has implemented code which aims to better distribute mining rewards in the
community, and thus spread, grow and reach more individuals. (See own section for details).
“THIRD TIER” NETWORK EFFECT
Pura’s fair mining code supports the strategic and technical enabling of a third network tier
related to empowering the average Joe, itself acting as a mass-adoption agent and catalyst.
(Details to be revealed in a later whitepaper version).
DIGITAL CASH FOR THE COMMON GOOD
PURA: MASTERNODES, MINERS, MISSIONS, MASSES (USERS), MERCHANTS
A COMMON GOOD ECOSYSTEM
ECOSYSTEM:
The Common Good Ecosystem, and its
various social and technical or functional  goals are outlined in the following section.
MASTERNODES
VALUE PROPOSITION
Pura’s incentivised layer of masternodes provides efficient, reliable and advanced services to
the network, creates a circulating coin supply that is attractive to emerging markets, and helps
provide some of the coin price stability needed for mass-market adoption.
GUARANTEED PERFORMANCE
Pura’s next-generation peer-to-peer payments network ensures that transactions do not
underperform or even hang depending on mining hashpower. Pura is coded to reward
incentivised individuals who actively protect the Pura network. So called MasterNode owners,
these individuals operate servers that remain online, performant, and on call at all times, in order
to guarantee that transactions execute instantly, privately and safely.
Unlike single layer systems like Bitcoin, where miners voluntarily support the network as long
as their equipment is competitively performant and profitable, and where changes to the code
need lengthy periods of time and complicated risky processes between parties who do not
always agree, Pura’s paid masternode layer, a derivative from Dash, means Pura can scale more
efficiently and deploy services more quickly than a blockchain run entirely by unpaid volunteers.
Furthermore, the Pura network rewards masternode owners frequently and generously, so there
is no risk of not having enough masternodes, and by having an entire incentivised distributed
network of servers each holding a full copy of the blockchain and working for Pura 24x7, the
developers can rely on them to quickly deploy any additional new feature they wish, as well as
ensure that the performance of advanced features like PrivatePay and InstaPay is guaranteed.
EMERGING MARKET READY
Because of the profitable nature of running a masternode, owning one is attractive, and in
order to avoid bloating the network with unnecessary masternodes or encouraging reckless
masternode operators, one condition must be fulfilled in order to become a masternode owner –
proof of ownership of a certain number of coins.
While the coins don’t need to be in the masternode itself, meaning the owner can sell them
anytime, proof of ownership is achieved by keeping the coins in a certain way that makes them
transparent to the entire network. And so, the number of coins needed for a masternode must be
chosen carefully since coins locked in masternodes means they are no longer available to endusers.
Pura is a digital cash movement for the common good with a strategic focus on global growth and
mass-adoption. To achieve this Pura has chosen a high total coin supply of approx. 350 million
Pura, as well as a high available coin supply of approx. 175 million Pura currently in circulation,
with around another 175 million yet to be mined.
As the price per coin increases over time, in order to remain accessible, attractive and useful
in emerging markets and be successfully adopted there, Pura must sustain a high number of
coins in circulation. In order to avoid unnecessary masternodes locking up the coin supply, Pura
achieves this by setting proof of ownership for a masternode at 100 thousand Pura.
MASTERNODES
PURA WHITEPAPER 12 MASTERNODES
For comparison let us take the current  situation with Dash (using approximate numbers for
simplicity):
A Dash masternode requires 1000 Dash. Dash has a total coin supply of 22 million, where 7.5
million is already mined and available out of which 4.6 million is already locked up in 4666
masternodes. This leaves just 2.9 million Dash to go around the world. Buying 1000 Dash today
is not cheap, but the number of masternodes continues to rise, which can affect the coin supply
available to end-users further.
A Pura masternode on the other hand requires 100000 Pura. Pura has a total coin supply of
approx 350 million, where 175 million is already mined and available. While unlikely, if we assume
a case where the same ratio of masternodes occurs, then around 109 million Pura would be
locked up in 1088 masternodes. This leaves 66 million Pura to go around the world – a significant
and attractive difference, especially for emerging market adoption.
PRICE STABILISING EFFECT
Another major benefit of a 100 thousand coins per masternode size is the stabilising effect it
has on the coin price. Pura’s highly attractive masternode rewards structure makes buying the
high number of coins needed attractive and worthwhile. Many masternodes will be formed by
quick investors and enthusiastic supporters, each time removing 100k coins from the market,
while increasing the value of the remaining coins. The high number of coins per masternode
implies a higher commitment level and with each masternode being valued more, the turnover of
masternode ownerships remains relatively low as owners tend to stay invested over the longerterm.
The combined effect is the circulating coin supply, it’s growth rate and the value of each coin
is to a certain degree stabilised, helping to create the price stability conditions needed for massmarket
adoption.
SOCIAL GOALS
• The political empowerment of masternode owners to decide on the spending of a treasury
budget related to development and marketing activities and own the democratic vote on
related proposals (credit to Evan Duffield and team for achieving this)
TECHNICAL GOALS
• Advanced transaction speed and privacy
• Avoid unconfirmed transactions left hanging in the network
MINERS
VALUE PROPOSITION
FAIR MINING FOR THE COMMON GOOD
“Fair mining” code empowers individual miners to receive a fairer share of the mining rewards by
enabling them to better compete with large mining pools without needing to invest large sums of
money in specialised mining equipment.
By making the Pura network more attractive to higher volumes of individual miners Pura seeks to
ensure greater democratic freedom through more evenly distributed and therefore decentralised
mining power, and enhance network performance through a more consistent and therefore
stable level of network hashpower.
PROBLEM
The mining of a blockchain is carried out by miners who perform complex mathematical
computations - called “hashes” - to guess the answers to problems posed by a specific coins
mining algorithm. In return miners are rewarded for their work with a predefined number of
coins.
Hashes take time, energy and resources to perform, and since each hash has the same chance
as any other hash to find the block and “win” the block reward, more hashpower means more
chances to find blocks and their related rewards.
Given the profitability of mining, many people build powerful computers running specialised
software to have a greater chance to win the block reward and earn more than the average miner.
This has led to the what has become an “arms race” (e.g. Bitcoin mining) where big players who
can afford to purchase millions of dollars worth of mining equipment cheaper than the little
players posses so much hashpower that the chances of an individual miner to find a block and
receive a fair share of the mining rewards diminish while their electricity, hardware and software
costs to compete increase, essentially squeezing the individual out of the game.
The result is greater and greater centralisation, and the unfair concentration of mining and it’s
related rewards into the hands of the few.
Then instead of having a decentralized currency managed by the people we are back to
a controlled currency where mining pools control the currency (and anyone who recently
experienced the Bitcoin Cash fork is a testament to this reality forced upon them by the few,
whether for good or bad).
The existence of such powerful mining pools creates further problems.
The reality is that with so many different cryptocurrencies out there today, each with their own
exchange rate at any given moment in time, in order to maximise profits, miners will sometimes
mine one coin when it is most profitable to do so, and then as soon as its profitability decreases
they will switch to another coin, essentially “dumping” the network.
MINERS
PURA WHITEPAPER 14 MINERS
Large mining pools are often set up in this way - to always mine the most profitable coin - and
by hopping currencies like this mining pools create wild fluctuations in the overall network
hashpower, causing a number of issues for individual miners, as well as to the network’s stability
and performance.
A network’s “block time” represents the ideal rate at which blocks are found by miners, in order
to ensure the steady release of the coin supply over a specific coins’ mining lifetime, as well
as to maintain a reliable level of network stability and a low latency level in the validation of
transactions.
In reality, as miners join or leave a network it’s total hashpower varies, and when a network looks
back over the last blocks to see how close to the ideal block time blocks were found, it adjusts a
“difficulty” function up or down depending on whether blocks were found early (easily) or later
than the intended block time.
The result is that when a network detects it has a small proportion of mining hashpower it adjusts
the difficulty downwards making it easier to find blocks and get rewards. Conversely, when the
network detects it has a large proportion of the mining hashpower it adjusts the difficulty function
upwards making it harder to find blocks and get rewards.
Miners are aware of this fact. Seeking to optimise profits they wait until the “correct” time with a
high likelihood of finding a block before hopping onto the network.
When mining pools with huge amounts of hashpower hop onto a network, they soon enough
drive the difficulty adjustment to find blocks up until it reaches a peak and then “dump” the
network to find another network to join and mine, repeating the cycle over and over.
As a consequence, the fair share of mining and mining rewards an individual miner can access is
negatively impacted, since they try to compete and are forced to mine in an environment of high
mining difficulty (read high electricity costs and low returns) created by the difficulty distortion
effects of mining pool “jump and dumps”. In fact even when the mining pools have left the
network, mining difficulty stays high and lowers with a certain (distorted) delay only when the
network readjusts to the new much lower hashpower remaining in the network.
Drops in hashpower can then leave the network instable, impact transactions and even leave
them hanging in the system. Advanced features like PrivatePay and InstaPay may also be affected.
Furthermore when mining pools dump sell their coins there may be an undesired effect on coin
price stability, a key factor in the mass-adoption of a cryptocurrency.
SOLUTION
Pura seeks to insulate it’s network from the effects of “jump and dump” mining and better cope
with hashpower fluctuations.
It achieves this by applying an innovative mining difficulty retargeting algorithm known as
DeltaDiff, that ensures a smoother and fairer adjustment in mining difficulty.
Smoothing is achieved by adjusting mining difficulty based on a moving average of time taken to
find blocks over the last 24 hours, eliminating much of the effect caused by miners hopping onto
and off of the network based solely on when a coin is easiest to mine.
PURA WHITEPAPER 15 MINERS
In this way individual miners have a fairer share in the mining and related rewards, transactions
are confirmed smoothly and transaction features like PrivatePay and InstaPay are highly
performant.
We also note that “fair mining” is a unique selling point which other networks would have to
“hard-fork” to achieve.
Furthermore the implementation of “fair mining” code not only immediately benefits individual
miners and the Pura network, but forms part of a greater strategic and technical enabling of
upcoming features yet to be announced related to empowering “the average Joe”; a powerful
component of our mass-adoption strategy.
SOCIAL GOALS
More evenly distributed and therefore decentralised mining power to support:
• The empowerment of the many over the few, thereby supporting the pursuit of the common
good
• The avoidance of a specialised mining equipment “arms race” making mining inaccessible to
individual miners (e.g. Bitcoin mining)
• A fairer distribution of mining rewards and therefore wealth in society
• Greater democratic freedom with regards to network changes and the avoidance of
contentious hard forks caused by conflicting concentrations of power (e.g. Bitcoin Cash)
TECHNICAL GOALS
Greater consistency and stability of network hashpower in order to:
• Avoid unconfirmed transactions left hanging in the network
• Secure performance of advanced transaction features such as PrivatePay and InstaPay
MISSIONS
VALUE PROPOSITION
DEMOCRATICALLY-DECIDED DECENTRALISED AND TRANSPARENT SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION
Empower end-users with a way to directly vote on and fund social and environmental projects,
track the movement of funds, and see tangible results achieved in an accountable and
transparent manner.
PROBLEM
Trust in charity is at an all time low as donors question the efficiency and cost of administration,
and exactly how much of their donation reaches it’s destination. The same is true for many other
centralised common good or goodwill efforts today.
SOLUTION
By getting charities, causes and projects onto the blockchain, users ensure that contributions get
tracked, the spending of funds is transparent, and fund recipients are held accountable to the
community. In this way the need to simply trust a nonprofit or prosocial cause based on good
faith alone is no longer necessary.
Social contributions for the common good are envisaged to fund projects ranging from
environmental (such as ocean cleanup or anti-deforestation efforts), philanthropic and
humanitarian (such as the housing or feeding of those in need, research and development efforts
and so on) and disaster relief efforts (such as getting food, clean water and facilities into hurricane
or earthquake relief zones).
SOCIAL GOALS
• Help with initiatives where no one single nation state feels responsible to invest or act or is
simply unable to do so e.g. clean up plastic from the worlds oceans and other global impact
projects
• Take the political empowerment of the individual to a new level by giving the average Joe a
taste of what it’s like to “be your own government”
• Provide people with an opportunity for next level, decentralised stewardship of the planet
and society and be a shining example of a new higher way that pioneers the responsible
decentralisation of currency
• Empower community members to govern on how to spend the related treasury, exploring
new aspects of DAOs, personal responsibility, personal values and human purpose.
• Transmit a brand image of esteem and goodwill to help eliminate some of the “Wild-West”
perceptions of cryptocurrency that may exist in the minds of the mass market
TECHNICAL GOALS
• Provide the community with a treasury management system and project proposals portal to
list and track related projects and enable end-users to decide on which projects to fund.
• Gamify the donation experience and quantifiably show users the impact of their support.
• Integrate enhanced transparency, accountability and feedback loop features to help solve
some the lack of accountability and visibility over results experienced by cryptocurrencies with
DAOs so far.

I am not invested in Avalon Life and not a sockpuppet. But i bought Pura and i for myself count only facts and fact for me is i almost trippeled my invest.
Thats a fact for me !

Btw this video you linked here is shit. I see you posting here 1000 times that this is a scam. I think we all got it what you think about that, obviously you are mad about something. But i dont get why you are spaming your opinion.

If you would made a lot of money with crypto you wouldnt spend your time to warn about this coin the whole time. I mean Pura is not big at the moment and you think its a shit coin and it will be going down. So let it be.

Every Crypto invest is a highrisk invest. Its been said 1000 times "dont invest money, you are not ready to lose". If you invest your money in coins and you lose your money, doesnt matter which coin its your fault.

SO JUST INVEST MONEY YOU CAN HANDLE TO LOSE !!!

Greetings, friends at Pura!

As Komodo Platform has been working around the clock to fine-tune the multiple GUI's that are the face of our Agama multiwallet and BarterDEX atomic swap protocols, there have obviously been many bugs found and many debugged. However, one bug in particular was found not only in our Agama GUI wallet, but also in the zcash4mac GUI swing wallet. It is a simple bug, but it warrants your attention. This is a potential money cost bug, and as a Bitcoin-protocol cryptocurrency, your GUI wallet(s) may be susceptible. We are reaching out directly to the developers and communities of the 60+ coins featured on Agama and BarterDEX as the bug may have a direct impact on you (via your own wallet).

watchonly-GUI bug: 'watchonly' addresses appearing as your own in GUI wallet; users could potentially send funds to the address, unaware it is not theirs or available for withdrawal. You can import <any address> and it becomes a 'watchonly' address. The GUI will display the address as yours, add its funds to your balance, and accept deposits, but cannot be withdrawn. This could be a normal address, my address, a p2sh address, satoshi's address, etc. This can be confusing to an end-user and will lead to many headaches for the developer, as is always the case with misplaced funds.

FOUND: in Komodo Platform's Agama multiwallet (fixed) and zcash4mac GUI swing wallet (@jl777B: "newest QT wallet seems ok about watch only, but not sure of older and when it was fixed")

ex. @grewalsatinder found the bug in his zcash swing wallet: https://i.imgur.com/sVd0QTL.png

Quote from: jl777B
"satinder used zcash4mac, ie. the zcash osx GUI, not ours... the assumption is no GUI out there properly handles watch only addresses, until proven that they do... agama also had this bug, which we found and fixed, so it seems a very common bug to have"

SOLUTION: For the 'watchonly' address or any address not yours, the value 'ismine' returns false. Any such address gets filtered out.

QUESTIONS:
  • How does your recommended GUI deal with watchonly addresses?
  • Does your GUI display watchonly addresses as different than actual addresses in the wallet?

We need to experiment a bit to see which approach gets a better response triggering the bug. People WILL lose money if they send funds to a watchonly address.

Quote from: jl777B
"the t3 addresses in the 'Own Addresses' column! and they absolutely cant be as they are p2sh addresses. it is clear proof that the bug is very real and anybody that understands a p2sh address will understand it cant be something in your wallet. it is usually a multisig address, so only if it is a 1of1 multisig (possible but very silly) can you have a p2sh address that is spendable, but the wallet wont even know it... normal addresses can also be watchonly, which makes this even worse. in that case it would appear in the list of addresses just like all the others. even if you are able to spot p2sh addresses visually, it wont be enough"

We want to spread awareness and facilitate discussion of this bug to minimize the impact.

Of course - we can always talk about how you can use BarterDEX today to trade Pura via atomic swap directly with your peers, through our beta GUI and without downloading the entire blockchain ; ) That is how we found the bug, afterall.

Stay safe,
Jay

Download your PURA Aurora wallet today!

Believe me: There is ZERO artifical intelligence in the Aurora wallet. It is just another clone of the Bitcoin Electrum wallet.

- More Transactions (up to 100,000 a second)
- Faster Transactions
- Auto updating wallet
- A revolutionary ATM system
- Mobile mining possible for everyone
- Network optimization driven by artificial intelligence

Do you have ANY proof for your bold marketing claims? Tell me: How does Pura process 100,000 tx/s. Do you even have any idea how much data that is?


PURA has been very successful compared to the market

Erm, where do you live? Pura is down by 90% against BTC from it's pumped top  (0.000250 BTC --> 0.000032 BTC).


People: STAY AWAY, PURA is a Avalon Life scam to siphon money from their MLM members. This will collapse soon!

PURA is truly something for our future! ❤️

PURA has a vision and a mission (PURA Planet) and a lot more to come with 2018!

What is PURA?
https://pura.one/pura-aurora-new-dimension-cryptocurrency/

ANY people (no names specifically mentioned) who are into pump/dump (quick money) with cryptos that are ICOs with big plan and great looking white paper (but little actions, lack of developers, or hands-on actions and experience)...please play with these other cryptos and let the PURA Team take the time they need to build the legacy for those of us who support this project long-term ❤️  ❤️ ❤️

We will make PURA a great Community driven project and I like that we are not afraid to ask people to take their money elsewhere if they are not happy with PURA and what is being put together Smiley

As far as questions and comments goes, if they are constructive and helpful in nature to our community they are welcomed, but empty comments and questions and speculations are simply wasting time of our community rather than focusing on the mission and vision of our Community and resources Smiley

We all have a chance to make a difference with PURA ❤️  Either we take the chance and enjoy it, or step aside and let the people who like the project support it and grow it together ❤️ with our power together ❤️

Please choose where you stand and govern yourself accordingly!

Happy Holidays everyone!!

PURA Aurora – a new dimension in cryptocurrency | Pura.one
Finally – PURA is about to transform the world of cryptocurrencies with a brand-new innovation. The team is proud to introduce PURA Aurora!

https://pura.one/now-25-000-pura-wallet-addresses/
We have 25.000 PURA wallet addresses!
8.000 new PURA addresses in just one month!
Massive increase as mass adoption is underway
Remember how we reported on more than 17.000 PURA wallet addresses here in November? In the meantime, we have reached the hallmark of 25.000 wallet addresses. That is an increase of 8.000 (!) wallet addresses in barely more than one month! The number of wallet addresses does not exactly reflect the number of wallets being held. Still, this figure shows the sustainable and viable development of the PURA coin.

Given these points, we want to thank you, our PURA community, for your incomparable trust and faith in building PURA together with us. Your loyalty and support towards mass adoption of the PURA coin are among the cornerstones of pushing ahead along with us. With this in mind, we will keep working hard to remain ahead of the competition. The team is working on developing PURA further to leave behind all slow and expensive networks. As you know, we have set a number of benchmarks that we want to reach with PURA Aurora in 2018 and based on the drive of our PURA community backing us up, we are bound to achieve them.

Hey aditimpura,

you should seriously consider to stop promoting this pyramid scheme made by Avalon Life. You and your heroes have NO IDEA what your are talking about: 25,000 used addresses means NOTHING in terms of adoption, a single wallet can hold hundreds of addresses! Pura will not move anywhere, it is a scam, just a product to suck more people into your pyramid and siphon money from them.

Look what i have found on your Facebook profile  Roll Eyes

Is this you, wearing a Avalon Life t-shirt, having dinner with Thomas Graf, CEO of Avalon Life? Get out while you can, Avalon Life/Pura will go south soon  Grin

AI inteligence in pura at 2018

There may be a misconception about the practicality of AI/machine learning in 2017. When we say "AI" we're not referring to artificial general intelligence (AGI) or some exotic technology, but rather in the context of training models that are more efficient at performing a particular task than a human designer/programmer can produce. If you want to get started with understanding the practicality of machine learning applications in 2017, I would suggest looking into https://www.tensorflow.org/ (we are not training with TF, but it's the most practical resource available).

There may be a misconception about what your employer, Avalon Life is all about  Roll Eyes

Avalon Life is running a illegal MLM/pyramid scheme, and they are utilizing you and your knowledge for their needs. Is it worth to scrap your reputation as developer and entrepreneur for just a few bucks?
Think about it, get out and continue to work on something of worth  Smiley

Believe me: There is ZERO artifical intelligence in the Aurora wallet. It is just another clone of the Bitcoin Electrum wallet.

Pura Aurora is primarily about establishing a platform that doesn't require hard forks or swaps, and delivering some innovative features over time with the luxury of being able to roll-out frequent updates. Though the foundation of Pura was originally based on the Bitcoin wallet (with a unique difficulty wave added), Aurora is a transition, the beginning of a long-term vision. Users who install Aurora will automatically receive all of the updates as development progresses. In the short-term we'll see total absorption of the fundamentals into the new wallets, and in the long-term we are going to see, more and more, the things that differentiate Pura. One of the key differentiators will be on-going integration of an efficient AI model to govern node communications.

Dear puradev01 the current Aurora-wallet is really no big shot, as it is:
- unlocking does not work, if the wallet was encrypted before, you are stuck in a loop.
- if the wallet is/was not encrypted before, there is no funtion to encrypt it.
- there is no function implemented despite send/receive, no other options, nothing.
- the source code is not published, which is a absolute no-go in crypto.
- the underlying pura-daemon (purad.exe) does not shut down, when the wallet is closed, etc.

I wonder why you released this version, as it is not useable so far.
Did you perform any testing before the release?
And can you give a timeframe (please no exact date) when you think, you can deliver a working version?

Thank you.   Wink

Hi crowi,

I apologize for the beta hiccups. The short answer is we will be releasing updates this weekend. The long answer is we had an aggressive deadline on top catastrophic build issues during multiple 14 hour coding sessions. We learned that electron can be a tricky solution, almost nothing in dev translates accurately to production, and we had to put together a very complicated build process, which we need to fix up to release the source. As a result we had to scale back some of the functionality last minute and defer to the updating capabilities to roll out fixes and new features. Again, the first of which will release this weekend. Your list is nearly identical to our priority list. Thank you for the feedback. We'll smooth this out. Smiley

Hi puradev01,

thank you for the explanations and the open words, which are missing in other pura channels.
Lack of information always leads to frustration and rumors.

As long term PVC, iCash and Pura follower, I am looking forward, to see essential and additional functionality implemented to aurora.

Good luck and all the best,
crowi
