I received some valuable marketing input for the website and for CB in general and I've changed some of the literature on the CB website.  

The changes I've made express CB to be a universal commodity and not seemingly just for business needs.  A universal commodity/currency is more accurate anyways and the literature on the website should properly express it.  

I've also added a couple more paragraphs in the About section regarding being more environmentally friendly than strictly proof of work coins as well as unique project development initiatives which very few other coins can even begin to claim.

Can you explain to me the Stake model in your client?

The actual proof of stake model is no different than PPC and we are indebted to King's work, except we chose not to implement a central checkpoint server.  The accelerated PoW subsidy halving helps to make a central checkpoint server less imperative to implement with respect to distribution.

I'm sure this is covered elsewhere but if using an encrypted wallet in a client, how do we "claim" or "mine" our PoS? Is this automatic if there's a balance or do we have to enter some command or enable a setting somewhere?

does this coin confirm very slowly? i conducted an exchange perhaps an hour ago and still not signs of it showing at the receiving wallet?

It's automatic. You'll just get a transaction and some coins moving into the stake balance for a little while

Indeed, after 30 days your client will stake coins and you'll get a PoS reward.  Just make sure your wallet is unlocked after 30 days.

Nope, confirms are fast actually.  If you're sending it to an exchange wallet then contact the exchange.

If you have control of either the receiving or sending wallet then make sure you're on the correct block chain using the block explorer:  http://explorer.cryptogenicbullion.org:2750/chain/CryptogenicBullion

Yeah, they have been quite frustrating the last 24 hours.

I know some discussion around using vanitygen has been happening but they've been workarounds for the most part. I worked with a friend of mine and wanted to supply you guys with a version of vanitygen that has direct CGB support. Here is the github repo for the fork:
https://github.com/lizzybot/vanitygen/

Unfortunately no binaries right now, though it's in the works. Compile it like you normally would.

Usage:
The -C flag has been added for CGB. OCLVanitygen also works with this flag with the starting character of "5". There is a bit of an oddity right now though in that it is saying some prefixes are not valid even though based on base58 and the avoidance of ambiguous characters they should be valid. We're working on hunting this down as well. In the meantime, most prefixes seem to work. Like any other instance of vanitygen, once you generate the corresponding private key, use the console in the wallet app (or command line if you're using the daemon) to "importprivkey" to your wallet. Then you're good to go.

Code:

./oclvanitygen -i -C 5prefix

(I pretty much always use -i for case insensitivity, though it's optional if you want a direct match for your prefix)

Here's one I generated for the purposes of this exercise and added it to my CGB wallet: 5VANiTyhMuuk2CRQHRKC9epvUQUf97Pcaf

Any questions, please feel free to ask. Also, if you think this should be its own post elsewhere, I'm happy to do that too; though I couldn't seem to find any CGB-specific forums.

Thank you for your contribution to the community! Excellent work! This is an excellent example of how an individual can contribute to the community! I have sent you a few CB as a thank you!

Oh, great. Thanks a ton. I definitely appreciate it. Been a busy weekend with the family but still working on figuring out what's going on with the invalid prefixes (even though it seems they should be valid).

Around what date will the alpha version of Madesparq be released? 

[mercSuey]

Around what date will the alpha version of Madesparq be released? 

I'm about to get started on integration with Google's App Engine and Compute Engine.

I think I'll have the initial content and functionality to be tested on MADEsparq.org in 2 - 3 weeks.

First release of the PySide client is still scheduled for January/February, if all goes well.

Version 2.0 of CB wallet is due to be released soon afterwards, February/March, but hopefully sooner.


Of course this is all tentative but lets hope for the best case scenario as development progresses.

By the way, I'm holding off on the logo contest for MADEsparq until I get the initial functionality released for madesparq.org.  I want the contest to include design theme ideas for madesparq.org.  Should be fun.
