BTCD is no more

[crackfoo]

My take on current BTCD  price action is that dev needs to spend less time answering posts and slamming trolls and more time delivering the goods.

This is not Fud. This is "tough love" from someone who has been in BTCD from the start.  And sees an enormous timesuck happening lately in the wrong direction. This thread - and the coin - was best when the dev was posting code, not victories over trolls.

I think the post you are looking for is here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=684090.msg8717360#msg8717360

If you were in from the beginning you should appreciate more, the fact that James so eloquently protects the investments and interests of all involved.  I'd rather see a delay in product over an out of control FUD campaign.

Please spare me the "if" and the "should". The post your linking to simply states a rational to be always responding to every attack. My point is that that sort of blind responding becomes a giant timesuck that kills the golden goose.

won't argue with that, which is why he suggested it'd probably be more useful for someone else to catalogue all his FUD busting and respond accordingly. I can't quite control/compose myself such as he can and I'm sure there aren't many people that can so this is where we're at ATM.

So there is the guts of the entire SuperNET!
As you can see it is not so much actual code. There are many special cases and nonstandard handling I skipped, but for those who are wondering how "real" teleport is, this has been pretty much working for over a month.
The SuperNET support is creating a need for some brain surgery and if I am not ready to code it, I cannot force it.
it is hard to explain.
maybe if you are an artist you can understand
force an artist to paint when he is no ready, then it wont be any good.
the reason is that I need to have all the things done in my head before I start writing
Now, maybe you are in a hurry to have teleport because?
cant wait for .02?

please let me make the Teleport + SuperNET to my standards. All the discussions with the SuperNET, questions, sometimes even trolls is sharpening in my mind the exact things that are needed.

James

P.S. for those who understand some coding, you know how hard it is to have small amounts of code do a lot of things, let along doing amazing things and you will not the long distance calling is not there yet. So, this I must do for SuperNET, then we get SuperTeleport! Not just teleporting BTCD to any other BTCD node, but BTCD to ANY node in the SuperNET. Isnt that worth a week or even two delay?

dancing with intuition...

thanks for this teleport update

hi James, any news on the new GUI?

[positivehigh]

Please accept my apology.

accepted
I have no illwill against honest mistakes

I hope that you will become a productive member of this community

James

Thank you. This showed how nice james is and he has a lot of positive vibes. Actually the real problem here is people dont know how to respect others just like in the real world. I think  James is just enjoying what he loves to do and maybe this is his calling. Maybe they do not notice that they are so arrogant to tell someone what to do. If we talk about investments obviously most of those who invested here already earned. Its not the problem of the community if you invested late or you are too greedy I also see that james concern is not just about the investment but how to change this crypto world to something that everyone will benefit. Maybe we should create a new thread that seperate investors and innovator. just kidding

Selling one asset on a daily low in an otherwise uptrend and panic buying another at the peak of a 70% rise, you must be new here.

Yeah im just new and actually i invested even in 70% rise because it happened already on bbr. What matters is the recommendation of james. Even it already rise too high people will still invest because of the reputation of james so i still believe that vrc will rise again. by the way I also apologize to you. The funny thing here is my investment is so small that will not even reach worth of 1 btc lol Maybe i already had btcd worth of 1 btc if i trusted btcd before when its too low. But what matters here is im learning from you guys. I wont be shy to tell that i dont even have 50 btcd thats why im trying to invest on other because i thought thats the only way i can get a lot of btcd if the price of others go high and transfer my investment to btcd. Sorry for my bad english.

Knocking off for the evening, but in case anyone else is potentially interested, my mgwBTCD bids (235 of them, from 170-176 NXT each; about 3 BTC) are still in place on the NXT Asset Exchange.  With the additional slide in BTCD/BTC, they represent up to a 7% premium over the prevailing price (about 0.0136 BTC each, based on current NXT and BTCD prices).  Perhaps someone with both a Bittrex account a MGW-enabled NXT wallet wants to grab the arbitrage opportunity.

Great reading; exciting stuff.

[jl777]

we are going into the 4th day of a flag pattern, with the price range narrowing and oscillating around .0125
this is full 25% above the previous base and I think still a few days to go sideways. With the massive 60% spike in a day, the oscillations are much bigger than normal. it is the same thing we have seen 4 or 5 times already. stable base, big spike, drops back a bit, goes sideways, stable base, ...

Now with a weekday coming and the IPO about to be discovered by many weekday only traders, anything can happen, so if you not just HODL and watching the show, be very careful. Due to the volatility from the spike it could take another week for the stable base to form.

Now all the attention and press will be on SuperNET, but the few will be accumulating the BTCD at the support line, there are three sharp bounces off of .0115 to .012, if this support doesnt hold, then it could actually go down to .011
Any such thing would be a nice buying opportuning, but wait for it to stop dropping. Due to the design of the IPO there is zero incentive to sell BTCD to get TOKEN, so this means no selling pressure from people that want IPO.

Thanks to some whales dropping 4K BTCD a shot it is holding the prices down by clearing the buyside of the orderbook, this is what is causing the slight incline down in the flag pattern. Without these 16K of sales the last few days I think it would have been oscillating at .0135 or so.

Anyway, with SuperNET already having enough funds to be much more than a snot kitten, this ensures some good long term prospects for BTCD in the core. I know it is easy to get impatient, but we need to be calm and realize that 4 days ago it was at 0.01

I am having good contacts with coin devs and the VRC community is all charged up, so the vision of SuperNET is quickly becoming real. I will assume everybody here is following the SuperNET thread, so I wont be repeating myself here on SuperNET topics.

Remember, HODL!

James

I looked up Conformal Systems after Justus made a comment about the re-write of BTC in Go. 
Surprised to see they used the same abbreviation as BitCoin Dark!

My client also lost synch but now it is ok. Maybe there are somethings change at BTCD implementation, e.g  Your weight, Network weight

Yes, there is a sync problem.
