BTCD is no more

[CTRLX]

I think it's amazing how all this work has been contained in this thread This feels totally different from other coins. Just a hardworking dev, a couple of people performing other tasks, and a few enthuasiasts / investors. So far everything is going smoothly.

Don't forget about the Bitsofproof wallet. Create this and getting BTCD on the Trezor will be very easy

yes, Trezor already supports altcoins. the only reason why it is not working yet is a lazyness of the altcoin-devs.

There needs to be a client with BIP 32 support - https://bitsofproof.com/?page_id=323 / block explorer. This already works for Bitcoin so it should be easy to make it for BTCD and merge the Trezor/Card into one package

Yes, lets put a bounty together for this too.
Not sure how much work? Any estimates?

it's open source... but there probably needs to be also BOP server with explorer, all info should be here: https://bitsofproof.com/?page_id=826

so we need a centralized server?
If anybody can look into this to make estimate for work required, that will help

Thanks

Look at the order book on Bittrex, 22 BTC buy vs 0.8 BTC sell

I wonder how much of that if any is xpool mining / converting into BTCD after 7 PM EST.  I've got my Jupiter on xpool

Have you worked out what your return (in BTCD) is per GH or TH per day through xpool?

Mid day weather report.

There was just too much code, so I have split it (just teleport code) up into four(!) different files and now it is much less to deal with at any given time. I decided to solve some of the nasty issues like pending teleports, disconnects in the middle, even preparing for the accounting. So a bit of deviation from quick alpha test, I am going straight to beta level code and functionality.

Now that things are relatively organized, I am about to code up the queue(s) processing. One downside Teleport had was that both sender and receiver have to be online at the same time and this sort of solves this, as the sending side will now just keep retrying (for 24hrs?) until the other side is there. It also greatly simplifies doing things like randomizing the exact time of cloning, etc.

Also, been planning how to surgically insert all this into BTCD core. Almost have a clear path on that side too.

TREZOR already supports Dogecoin. What's needed is Dogecoin software that supports TREZOR. (myTREZOR only supports Bitcoin and Bitcoin Testnet at the moment).

I am not pretty sure how Trezor works.
Is it something like usb with protected wallet?
Can I stake BTCD while I save my BTCD in Trezor?
Thanks

[salsacz]

kinda, but with space of few bits just for your password, pin... it stores your 24-word password that gets your private keys. staking could be little complicated, but maybe its just about adding more API calls to the wallet

Good news!
I found GUI dev for porting the NXT GUI.
Will still need graphics help, but low level stuff is under control

Wicked mate that's brilliant news. A real smooth progression and a more mature community

I have some news. Its not official yet as I just got some early test results and day is late so maybe I made a mistake. I want to verify when I am fresh.

I believe I got multisig support added to telepods. This allows combining of privacy with protection of multisig

So, it took me off the fast track to completion, but I think we all agree it is worth a few days delay to get multisig Teleport

James

P.S. The white rabbit will now have N versions of it beamed across random nodes (third onion layer) and then reconstructed at the destination. Poor guy. Especially since my M of N multisig looks like it will handle up to N of 254!

Is it pretty safe to assume that btcd will have one of the most private, secure and safe transactions in cryptos?

ps. I like your the white rabbit metaphor

I want to congratulate you on your awesome work, thank you for being such a hardworking and delivering dev. I can assure you that this thread is being watched by more potential investors every day. I think that BitcoinDark will be trading up with the big boys in the top 10 very soon.

ps. I like your the white rabbit metaphor

yes and another key factor is that you will be able to teleport any other coin (with a little bit of extra coding), so if any other coin actually has some useful anon value, you can get combined power by teleporting that coin. Regardless of which coin wins the anon race, BTCD will be around to teleport the other coins.

I do not know of any other coin that will be more private due to this combining power. Also, if they have some good algo, I can always integrate it in. It might take me a few weeks, but I like to assimilate any and all good ideas. For instance I have the essence if ring signature algo from cryptonote isolated, kind of like a test tube with just that algo. So, i could add it to BTCD, but with Teleport I just see no reason

Even without a high marketcap BTCD will start getting dividends from InstantDEX and NXTprivacy (primarily BTC teleport fees) in the coming months. So added to the 5% per year staking, it will be the only coin I know of getting dividends in BTC (and NXT)

Put all this into a reskinned NXT GUI and building on top of NXT so we instantly get all that fantastic tech as part of BTCD user experience, it will indeed be hard to prevent rising to Top 10. I was content with top 10 by year end, but I guess it will be top 10  as soon as people believe that I will deliver the tech. Of course smart investors are checking my github repo and they can see the rapid progress, plus with my MGW getting a bunch of press, my finishing the tech is probably only an issue for those not familiar with my work in NXT.

Anyway the darkpaper is coming along nicely, though the adding of multisig threw a bit of a delay into it, I can just imagine someone trying to figure out who sent what to whom when all they see are encrypted UDP packets buzzing around from node to node. How can you even tell if a node is just routing a packet or originating? Once the darkpaper is out, then, well not sure what will happen...

I believe BTCD will be the first coin that businesses can use without worrying about their competition knowing their every transaction. The multisig feature will allow them to have layers of control over internal funds transfers and this also avoids cloning for such cases. This means businesses can teleport BTC around privately.

James

P.S. Now I am realizing I should have bought more BTCD!

So basically the Teleport function will offer better privacy functionality than cryptonote? but without the blockchain bloat ? And any coin could be teleported?
