[ANN] [SFR] SaffronCoin | Latest Version - 1.4.2/2.6.2 | Mandatory Wallet Update

[Stinky_Pete]

question from a noob on this coin to others who've been more closely following it:
could anyone summarise what's special about it?

were basic aspects ready at launch - wallet, blockexplorer, website, whitepaper and/or features, etc. - or is the [ANN] promise-heavy?
have the devs lived up to their promises?
Any hidden problems -
premines?
instamines?
well distributed? is there a rich list?
buggy code?
are these are hard core programmers, not "copy-paste" devs or middlemen? When bugs/fork challenge pop up, are they fixed quickly?
dev squabbles?
dev complacency?
missed deadlines?
Is the entirte dev team anonymous -- and even if so, does it at least have a solid reputation here on bitcointalk?
Anything to worry about?

When is the next significant development update (code, screenshots and/or whitepaper/proof-of-concept or something else) expected to come out?

Are you serious ??
For real ? Did you even bother to read OP ?

I think he just landed from another planet...

On a more serious note, why do you think people should bother replying to all your questions when it is clear that you did not bother spending 10 minutes on the thread before asking?

Nice way to make a first impression on a new arrival and potential investor to the coin.

There are dozens of threads with dozens of pages with dozens of posts across bitcointalk.org, and markets move very fast. I figure, why not save some time and ask all the relevant questions to people who've been following the coin closely - and get opinions/perspectives independent from the devs? Just trying to get quick intel before researching further and avoid the next scam

But this way will only get replies from people who have a positive view of the coin, the haters have all moved onto other coins.

Time is money. I think you should offer some sort of payment if you aren't prepared to do the work yourself.

Doesn't matter - something new is often revealed by the answer and the more even-handed, honest answers can usually be distinguished from the hype. And it's the starting point of research, not the endpoint.

Any chances for saffron coin to add more algo then the current 5?

Indeed it is, and there are an awful lot of coins out there (most of them scams) that I'd rather not waste time researching until getting a preview from those who've already been heavily involved in them, to see if full research is justified - doesnt make sense, otherwise. Think long-term -- if the coin looks good, consider the compensation more BTC invested into in your coin.

-devs are always active, have great credentials and extremely transparent. Their names, locations and credentials were listed on the reuters article

I saw the contact info in the Reuters article but no bio info there or on the site. Was there another Reuters article besides the one in the OP?

[bitcoinwonders010]

no one should simple reply to that kind of post. all he does is copy and paste what he wrote, and expects others to fill in the blanks. for future reference no one should reply to it. its ok if your asking a question or two but a post like that is taking the mick. unless your person who can move markets i dont think no one should bother replying to that

Location is specified. We are based in India. Some know me from twitter. My handler is @sfrdev and name is Roshan.

Once we complete our immediate developments, we will have a google hangout with all of you so you can have a better idea with what your dealing with. It will also help in transparency for both sides. We will try to integrate the hangout in the wallet.

P.S. I appreciate your interest in the coin and i agree with many scams, you need to do your homework well. Feel free to ask me anything. You can also hop onto IRC #Saffroncoin. I am available most of the time there.

Yes we are flexible to add any algo that has a lot of promise. We had thought of X15 once but then realized it is not yet ready to be used on a largescale and still is not that efficient. In all the X* algos, X11 is the most stable and most efficient.
Once a new algo comes out that gets appreciation like how Scrypt or X11 got, then we would certainly consider it. We would mostly strip one algo out to include a new one. Too many algos are not good.

Saffroncoin actually has devs that deliver and keep delivering.

Hey guys we have now successfully tested SFRBit by actually using SFR as a payment option where Bitcoins are accepted!

Purchased a Gift Card for testing from gyft.com that uses the Bitpay payment gateway

Here are the shots :













We can confirm that SFRSend, SFRSend+ and SFRBit are succesfully tested. We now have to change the UI for activating SFRMS and bit window resizing bug which was there in the earlier version. Once all this is done, we will post the exact time of wallet release v2.3.1

Really great news I hope it's true.

Who have BTC (and how much) which will be use to convert from SFR? How it will work?

[saffroncoin]

True? Mate, that's the reason I posted a shot showing the BitPay confirmation. I also highlighted the BTC address to show they match. We update our development progress with screenshots frequently in about 2-3 days.

We don't scam. 

[EjArIKej]

No offence sir

I'm just interested in from where you take BTC to convert transaction? How it will work?

No probs. We will update details on all the features soon.

What about NIST or cryptonite?
But I don't know well cryptonite and if it's possible to implement it

NIST is good. I was personally impressed by it. But it is still young. Every algo we include needs a hardfork so we need to be absolutely sure that algo is worth it and free from any sort of bugs and is widely used. Too many hardforks are certainly not good. We will wait for a few months to see if NIST has made a huge mark. Probably by that time a better algo might creep out.

Sure! Good to know your interest for NIST

"Unique privacy where an address is not required to be given out for receiving payments"

this will also be very interesting
