[ANN][BLC] Blakecoin Blake-256 for GPU/FPGA With Merged Mined Pools Stable Net

[BlueDragon747]

I want to make it clear that i am an investor in your coin and like your project.

HOWEVER

Where do you find 25 exchanges trading altcoins that have more volume than Bittrex. There is no need to fake volume if you read about delisting of coins on Bittrex and I quote:

 If you would like to keep the market listed, please encourage the development team to contact us at support@bittrex.com. If you have questions about the policy, please see https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202583874.

It is really impressive that BLC is an old coin with activity and that is why I invested reasonably big in your project!

So please contact Bittrex, I am 100% sure you can save the listing on Bittrex.

when I get a reply and normally a dev does get a reply within 24hrs it is this:

We lose money on the coins that don't generate at least a daily volume

The best way to keep a coin on Bittrex is to drive some trade volume. The market has been very sparsely traded for some time. We don't know if that is lack of exposure or simply that there is no interest in trading it

You actually haven't been making the volume requirement. I just put you on an exception list for our warning process for a few months. The avg volume on it right now is x.xx so you need to encourage a little more trading to keep the market from delisting.

Thanks for working on this. You are the 33rd oldest coin. Which might seem high but we've delisted so many coins in the last few years, its amazing we still have a lot from 2014.

As of right now, the volume averages look like this:

If the BLC market goes away, we'll be happy to relaunch the BLC once the game ships and interest in trading rebuilds.

so no free ride on Bittrex even for a dev you need minimum volume every day one way or another as you can see from the support reply's above

I have no personal issues with Bittrex it is a good platform and Bill has been pretty ok in dealings with Blakecoin over the years its just as said to me "Business" and they do want to stay open and ranked high in volume  

Real/Bot/Fake its all volume and there is a minimum so you do volume on Bittrex I am done end of story!!!  

*same goes for anyone else asking for Bittrex do volume and stop expecting me to do it for you as the minimum needs to be met every day

delistrex is not very communicative on the matter lately, they want their btc, more and more btc...

rate of change in minimum volume is why I am withdrawing support of Bittrex at this time  

Bitt..risk is the player.
He already destroyed more than one Altcoin.
Take care of your project, not him.

I will continue to take care of my projects

why let this coin get delisted from trex, maybe just ask bill and/or ritchie to keep it for a while more, its a good coin with good development, unique project, i think they will agree

I agree with the following from a long term supporter

Others seem less concerned.  if it's that important buy .5btc a day.

Myself I'm mining a small amount ~2GH/s and holding for use in Blakezone games.

Pumping the coin right now makes no sense until it's main use case is up and running it will just lead to a dump.

a dozen good unique coins i watch are in same situation now, they should agree to all of em.
send em a shortlist ? with words like you mofos break my heart with your policy ? lol

lol you seriously can compare this coin with some shitcoin that says its  "unique" and dev is nowhere to be seen

[sidgrip]

We are not investors but merely speculators and/or supporters, for anyone to command/demand action from BlueDragon747 is wrong. Although he has never asked for any money, no one that I know of, myself included, has give him a dime towards his project.  BlueDragon747 is self funding his endeavor and he is his only investor. 

And I understand why it's better to do it this way. 

[MarSas]

Anyone running a RX 480 with Blake? I get 3.4 Gh/s with default settings.

not really, i need them all, all those coins are active, it's bittrex not yobit,
their only "disadvantage" is < 0.5btc daily volume, next month may turn 0.75btc, 1 btc, ...

Yobit's increased its charges too. It wants more money to list a coin and now wants money for every wallet update it has to make. Although I don't think its started delisting coins that don't meet a minimum volume yet, it will probably start soon. Blakecoin's trading volume will need to stay high to keep it on any of the medium sized exchanges soon.

[BlueDragon747]

Got a reply from Bill said that he can keep Blakecoin on Bittrex until about January

[bzyzny]

That's good news, I've sent some coins to bittrex to add to the trade volume, not much but every bit helps.

Am curious how the wallet update is coming along, last I heard it was nearly ready.

[BlueDragon747]

12 base wallet is not far off but still architecture specific linking and few other bits that really need to go before it can be released else it will be hard to compile + I also need it compiling on linux without issues and atm that has not been tested, right now bit distracted from wallet by my testing of unity 5.5/5.6  

edit:
with performance issues been having in unity while working on the BlakeZone project finally nice to see some actual new api's that work well (webgl2/vulkan), unity 5.6 beta even got in the tech news  

about time if you ask me unity has been adding a lot of fluff during 5.x cycle most of it performing like a turd

more about what they are doing in 5.6 beta here

now before I got too excited ran a whole bunch of tests which directly effect standalone builds and getting some nice performance with vulkan this will effect standalone win/lin builds for any of my game projects  
 

[bzyzny]

I've heard good things about vulkan, glad to see unity has added it. Seems like developing with unity is a moving target though, it must take a lot of time to keep updating your games to latest unity. I'm guessing when 5.6 stable version is released in march, you would stick with that? Or would unity 2017 api be a minor change from 5.6?

well I used "stable" releases from unity that were just not usable and should never have been marked stable this beta is pretty good seems to work as well as 5.5 "stable" release I did find for webgl2 the webassembly feature if enabled stops the build they might fix that in later builds but right now cant use that but most of stuff I am using works    *not had a chance to test all assets/effects just common ones found to work well/look good etc

unity has a shifting api and as much as I resist updating often its only way to get things working so going to try using 5.6 beta and see how it goes skipping 5.5 *most of side projects are in 5.4 and bz is 5.3
*fingers crossed when they do a stable 5.6 release most of the active projects should be updated or in testing based on builds from unity 5.6 beta  

for now just going to keep working on battlegrip(ref in 5.4 but remastering/rebuilding in 5.6b1) and use that as a testbed for when I start the rebuild of bz project

Just started mining BLC and downloaded the Mac wallet, it won't connect to the wallet and says "no block source found". I did attempt to addnodes via the debug console and found these via a previous google search:

addnode=162.243.133.80
addnode=162.243.14.130
addnode=146.185.135.24
addnode=184.171.247.23

When I add the node it says this... "Method not found (code -32601)"

Any ideas to get this wallet working?

Thanks.

With all the market activity on Bittrex, has BLC been saved from scheduled delisting?

[bzyzny]

There's currently no warning about delisting on bittrex, so as long as the daily average stays above 0.3btc we are in no danger. Maybe BlueDragon can give a more concrete answer. Hopefully the wallet update will get released soon, I expect that would cause some more trading volume.

Edit:
@NemesisDF good luck with your mining! Blakecoin is quite gentle on your GPU, it doesn't destroy gfx cards like scrypt mining does

Also, I have some 7 day trial passes for Black Desert Online, if anyone wants one PM me. Really fun game

[BlueDragon747]

its upto Bittrex for now think Bill has it on an exclusion list but the minimum volume is 0.5 BTC per day so may have some more issues with delisting in the near future  

I will finish off the new wallet at some point but dont expect it to have much if any effect on market, but it will most likely have compatibility, build and possibly some architectural issues (Mac/Arm etc..) so I am sure it will make more work for me at least within first few months  

for now been making progress on Battlegrip all rest are stalled as not had a chance to do much to them

Still not canceled or abandoned any which is better news than some big name games that have been canceled in 2016 (Scalebound - Fable-legends - Silent Hills - and More Here, Here and Here*high profile games canceled past 10 years)

guess not only one having issues past few years especially with open world games

Hopefully, Bittrex will see BLC has an honest long-term project and keep it on.

Hey, since I think I recall you stating that you are working for Coinigy now, is there any chance the blake family of coins will be listed on their new exchange? That would be monumental.
