Пpocтo из 28 кк дoбытыx мoнeт я мoгy c yвepeннocтью cкaзaть чтo 1 500 000 мepтвы a тo и бoлee пo мoeй oшибкe. И дyмaю чтo нe тoлькo я иx cтep. Haйдyтcя видaть и дpyгиe ктo  тoжe  ждaл и бpocил в тo вpeмя DTC. Coкpaщaть ничeгo нe cтoит. Личнo мoё видeниe. Дaвaйтe идти пo плaнy и пoднимaть нyждy y людeй в иcпoльзoвaнии мoнeты DTC.   

English translation:
Just out of 28 kk of coins I can say with confidence that 1,500,000 are dead or even more because of my mistake. And I think that not only did I erase them. There are others to be seen, too, who also waited and dropped DTC at that time. To cut costs nothing. Personally, my vision. Let's go according to plan and raise the need for people to use the DTC coin.

You lost 1 500 000 DTC?  Really?  You erased them?

Aнглийcкий пepeвoд:
Bы пoтepяли 1 500 000 DTC? B caмoм дeлe? Bы иx cтepли?

Is there compiled versions for Ubuntu that do not need to be compiled from source?

Is there compiled versions for Ubuntu that do not need to be compiled from source?

A pre-compiled Linux release is available on GitHub.
There is also a bootstrap.dat which can be found linked to earlier in the thread.

Max Supply of Datacoin

One question I am being asked is the 2 billion max supply of Datacoin that will be produced.

This is something that we can discuss.  For myself I have no strong attachment to the 2 billion.

Since the supply has already passed 28 million we cannot reduce it to 21.  But we can certainly talk about 42 million as a possible stop.

-extro

If anyone has a decent technical argument to keep the total supply set at 2 billion I would like to hear it. 42 million would be a blessing, Imo early investors should be rewarded for holding dtc in the long term and not feel like they are invested in the Dogecoin for cloud storage.

To firstly call out the elephant in the room, if the total supply is changed, instant whales will be created - HugPuddle being one of them.
Full disclosure --> we control 500,000+ Datacoin (currently 1.76 percent of the money supply -- we've been mining on and off for years now)

Note that our intentions are not for riches, but for giving people a tool to immutably store their history and creations.
If there is a reason to tinker with the money supply to protect the Datacoin network, then I can see the need for a change, but if the network is fine as-is, changing the code is a slippery slope, especially changing the money supply... it can lead to damage of the network, and distrust from people on what developers might do next... make no mistake, this is a big deal.

That being said, if there is some fundamental flaw in the generation of said coin that could lead to harming the Datacoin network, that needs to be looked at.
I think the numbers need to be crunched very carefully.
I'd like the tech savvy people to weigh in on this:

What's the best level of money supply, block times, and data fee to sustain and protect the network?

That question needs to be the guiding light. Without a sustained and protected network, our vision of an environment for people to etch ideas/history/creations will not occur, nor will anyone's investment pay off.

There should be enough generated in a day to meet user storage needs, but not so much that it could clog/spam up Datacoin and cripple the network.
But note that this can be deterred by some kind of variable cost of storage/miner fee & block times, not necessarily by the amount of coin...

Also note that the problem with Dogecoin wasn't its high money supply necessarily, it was that it offered nothing unique to the eco-system for people to stay. Plus, the very thing that grew Doge, the miners, became irrelevant with the Script asic and the difficulty in getting next generation Script miners... GPU mining was key to their involvement.  

I think GPU mining is important, and again, I think our guiding light should be what's the best level of money supply, block times, and data fee to sustain and protect the network over time.

Just some thoughts - I'm loving all the energy around Datacoin

Thanks for your input on the supply discussion AtomSea, for me HP becoming a whale is a non-issue as it would just translate into more cool resources for the project team  

I can still see more benefits in a reduction but I'll let this one slide for the moment. Considering all the other things that need to be done it seems a poor use of time to go on a campaign lobbying for a variable change.

Walmart's Food Safety Solution Built on the IBM Blockchain Platform

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV0KXBxSoio


Trust IBM to sign up Walmart for a Hyperledger Fabric pilot, according to Fortune Magazine in 2016 they were they largest company in the world by revenue - (US 480 billion)
God only knows how many of there suppliers are involved, he said some in the video which in Walmart language is probably tens of thousands, try and imagine the amount chaincode that needs to be written.

Can anybody see what I am doing wrong?  (I am new to Docker).

The idea is to run Hyperledger Composer Playground in a Docker container.  After that I want to load DTC2017's Datacoin Marbles demo.  But I get the errors you see.

I did remove the Playground image that was in the container before trying to run Playground.

The "Hello World" image ran successfully.

[dtc2017]

What version of Ubuntu are you running? Playground requires v14 > and 64bit

[extro24]

Hokay.  LTS 16.04 but 32 bit.  Let me switch and see.

Thank you.

[extro24]

64 bit installed, but another error:

Status: Downloaded newer image for hyperledger/composer-playground:latest

Did you install the dev tools as non-priv user?

Team, We just release a critical bug fix for http://Apertus.io  Apertus-v0.3.17-beta we discovered an issue when etching files with lots of repetitive data.  Some older wallets cannot handle sending multiple transactions to the very same address in rapid succession....in fact this may even corrupt the wallet.
this critical bug fix adds a wait for confirmation if the next address you are attempting to etch to is identical to the previous one. 

Here is an example of an image file with lots of repetitive data etched after the bug fix:


Here is an example of file corruption prior to the fix. 



Thanks for your time.

Can't help but feel a bit flattered . . .

. . . and wow,  what an amalgam of disjointed ideas there, hope people see the obvious scam

[AtomSea]

Hi Team,

Simply follow some of the posts of the people that give congrats to this new alleged Datacoin eth something something...
They comment the same thing on many other coin knockoffs threads with Ethereum donation and "airdorp" links...
Appears to be some kind of cut/paste/lie scam that's hitting many other coins.

Moderators will remove those if you report them to the moderator for account farming.
Basically, just check the user's out of context posts or rapid participation bursts of nothing significant in a short period of time - and you'll have what the mods need to see to help clean things up for everyone.
