The markets have been in private tests for several days. There will be a full public release in a couple days or we can wait for all of the "user friendly templates" to be completed. Its up to you guys. The templates may take a couple weeks. NightTrader is one of them. NT may take an extra couple weeks though to get more coins on the exchange and see if i can run spv clients.

I would much prefer that we wait for a product that includes usable templates, a product that people can just use immediately.

If the non-tech-savvy market get hold of it in a not-quite-ready-for-them state, I believe most will not bother to keep track of developments to find out when it is in a state that is relevant for them. People have limited disposable time. You need to hit them with a product that simply works. That, when they try it out, they grasp immediately, with no need for head scratching, no need to think about what bolts on where, no need to think "Oh ok that's not quite ready but I'm happy to wait until it is."

You've been working on this for a long time David. Why rush the final stage ? Give the ecosystem as complete a product as you possibly can.

One of the many reasons people will want to use Blackcoin over Bitcoin is NightTrader exchange will be able to perform the escrows much faster with Blackcoin as the security deposit. Realize since they are deposits, volatility wont matter at all. You only need BC to leverage the microtrader.

Is it necessary to wait for confirmation(s) before the trade can occur? How big of a risk do you estimate it would be to accept zero confirm collaterals?

Depends on if you can access the mempool for that coin. For example, if you are on Bitcoin, Bitcoin is centralized. Instead of waiting for confirmations, you can assume it will be ok as long as the TX is in one of the mempools for the top mining rigs.

However, i really dont recommend zero confirmations. Just because if anyone realizes this, they will work hard to exploit it even if only once. Even a mining pool can see we are doing this and profit off it.

Regardless, all that matters is that you know the trade is going through. I think we can confidently wait for one confirmation. Perhaps we should let the users specify this in their offer?

Well if I wait, I really need BC people to start testing it. I posted on reddit however got few testers and really didnt see anyone accept my offers. Its funny, i posted free coins in the markets (about $2 each). I can raise that amount even. Most of the tests come from Jean Marc(Lanthan) and I. However, we need to know that it works on ALL Linux platforms and ALL Mac platforms. So we need a good amount of testers.

I see, it's a hmmmm moment isn't it ? I'm on Windows here and so, although I'd be interested to check it and test, it might not be much use to you ( PM a link if you like ). So, with less than optimal testing on Mac & Linux, will you be going for soft launch then ramp it up at a later date once you're happy it's working ?

I think the price of blackcoin is around where it should have started. It seems to be a fair price, I've picked up a few recently just to hold on to.

Blackcoin not meeting sales expectations on UK fiat->crypto exchange Bittylicous.  If you buy BTC from there, why not buy in BLK and get it in your wallet faster? ;-)

Why would Bittylicious write that if it is not true, and not only that, even have PPC mentioned in the blog entry headline?
Nobody is talking about PPC in general, just about "risk" to be removed from that UK-Mainly trading platform.

I asked Bittylicious @reddit, they are going to add another payment method for europeans who don't want to use SEPA soon....

Just opened my Blackcoin wallet again after a long time.
My V1.1.1.1 wallet wasn't staking anymore, so I decided to update to V1.1.2.1
A few things about this wallet:

- Why can't I see in the overview how many blocks still need to be downloaded ?
I only see the time remaining and can only see no. of blocks downloaded when I hover over it, move the mouse away and then hover over it again. So if I just look at it, it looks like nothing is happening and I cannot see if it's stuck or actually downloading.
I think this should be fixed/ updated.

- I cannot see any minting info in the wallet.
In my Faircoin wallet, there is a tab called "Minting". In this tab you can see exactly what amounts are in the wallet and what the maturity of each amount is in days. It also tells me what the minting probability per amount is.
This way I always know when I should have my wallet set to minting and when it's no use to do so.
With Blackcoin I'm always guessing if something is happening and the last few times, it turned out that absolutely nothing was happening.
I think these are big flaws that could easily be helped.
For me these are also big things when it comes to deciding if I want to invest more in Blackcoin.

Can these changes be implemented ?
Or is there a good reason they are not ?

Cheers
