Bravo.  I will help to fund the payouts.  Can the same be done with KuCoin?

Thanks for your generous offer, I would have to look up the t&c but I think Kucoin is 1 vote per user, per round at a cost of 0.10 KCS.
Imo we would need a better incentive than 100 DTC to get Kucoin users to part with their vote

userA attempts to drag/drop marble to userB within the same organization,
dtc wallet balance is checked, if userA has sufficient balance marble is transfered,
orderer sends block to peer, peer commits block.
userA attempts to transfer marble to userB with an insufficient balance, marble returns to userA, error is output to console and
orderer does not send block.

note: this is experimental so there will be bugz

Update 12/05/2017
+Added entry window to startup - Datacoin address and minimum balance
+Removed hardcoded address details

Highest number of votes currently is BosCoin(BOS) at 547 votes.  Lets say 1000 votes for Datacoin to beat them decisively.  So 100KCS or 55USD.

That is about 9000 DTC at price 0.0000005BTC?  No?

Seems VERY doable.

Everybody vote!!!  Sell some DTC on POP and use the Bitcoin to vote for Datacoin at https://www.kucoin.com/#/vote.  You will be refunded your BTC if Datacoin is listed.

Just thinking - Hyperledger could provide the "sidechains" that oocook5u had in mind in the original design for Datacoin.
The smart contracts themselves could be stored in the transaction data payload of Datacoin.

I am getting a "no block source available" error trying to sync the Datacoin Wallet, I followed the instructions on the website and added the nodes, but it still isn't syncing. Could anyone hel

Also is it still worthwhile to solo mine with a single GPU or should I be looking to join a pool?

You will find a few blocks but it does not worth it, just by some datacoin at BTCPOP, it's really cheap right now.

You can try the following in the console:

addnode graymines.net:4777 add
addnode 54.37.46.84:4777 add
addnode 78.46.37.209:4777 add
addnode 148.251.2.141:4777 add

I have added them to the OP.

Hi guys,

How do you think, why should someone prefer Datacoin, if there are already Sia, Storj and (?) Filecoin probably? Could you please explain what are interesting things around DTC in technical aspect now?

Those coins are specifically set up as "coin drives".  That is not really what Datacoin is aiming for.  We are simply a coin with 128kB of data storage available in every transaction.  Users can make with that what they will.  In time many uses will be found for those 128kB.

Seeing this coin for the first time, but I definitely like the idea of it. Storing small files on the blockchain and being able to retrieve them via Datacoin makes sense to me, solid concept. I like all projects that are against censorship!

Apple is trying to patent timestamping on the blockchain: https://www.ethnews.com/apples-latest-patent-doesnt-fall-far-from-the-blockchain-tree

Shocking to see how these corporations are trying to steal what has been implemented in the public domain for years now.

Their system is basically identical to Bytestamp.

Aren't transactions chainable into larger files?  Was that ever implemented?  I could have sworn I saw larger files on the DTC blockchain a long time ago..

Yes they are.  embii etched a file of 50MB into the Datacoin testnet blockchain:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2188160.msg23342499#msg23342499

Anybody have experience with peatio or buttercoin?  The Slimcoin people are looking at starting an exchange and I would back that to the hilt.

Shouldn't be too difficult no?  Most of us have servers or cloud accounts.

Hi Extro24,

    I've not yet tried with either of them, but would recommend looking to see if any of the forks of those projects on GitHub have additional optimizations or security enhancements and show continuing development.
    The last commit on the master branches of peatio and buttercoin were from October 2015 and August 2014, respectively.

    Looks like there are more PRs to peatio than there are to buttercoin for what its worth.

Best Regards,

Cryptonite project (XCN), is also interested, so with us three, it makes us somewhat strong group, I think.

We are just re-organising our website, and after that, we can start forming some group of people, who would like to join this cooperation.

From Slimcoin I could say there are 3 people interested: me, @ksdme (guy has, quite good experiance with designing websites, and some with c++, and python), @d5000.
From Cryptonite: pallas - he is their main supporter, and function as a developer, as I have seen.
From Datacoin: ?

I hope, that @gjhiggins, could help us.

Could we host an exchange on a cloud account at IBM Bluemix?  We could modify the smart contracts of Hyperledger Marbles to create a cryptocurrency exchange and host it in the IBM Cloud.  In that way we could also get help from the Hyperledger developers.  Hyperledger uses Node RED, which is a really cool way to construct smart applications for the cloud. It makes it easy to add sensors, IoT and API's to your program.
