*Bump* Development Update and Donation Request:Dear BitcoinDark Community, BitcoinDark development has been ongoing behind the scenes for quite a while and we are now approaching a time when that development will begin to bear fruit. One of the new developments includes a new HTML-local-host Wallet GUI to replace the old QT version. The plan is to first release a basic port, in terms of features, of the original QT wallet and then add additional features/enhancements in subsequent versions. The front-end is almost finished and work on the back-end of the wallet will begin soon. The HTML Wallet will bring a host of new benefits to BTCD users:
-GUI with an updated cutting edge look that is easy to operate -Combination of HTML and Native Ramchains allows wallet access using multiple devices -New tech features, such as Teleport, can easily be added to later client versions -BTCD tech will make it to the BTCD client first before it becomes available on the SuperNET branded client -Future in-client access to SuperNET affiliated coins and services Donation Goal:We are aiming to raise 10,000 BTCD to help see the current development through to completion. Not only will your donation help contribute to BitcoinDark development, but also will act as an investment to enhance the future value of BTCD. Uses for Donation Funds:-Back-end GUI development (~2000 BTCD) -Marketing/PR for upcoming tech releases (~2300 BTCD) -Continued Webmaster and Weekly Blog payments (~1200 BTCD) -Hiring additional developers and specialists (~2500 BTCD) -Bounties for apps that utilize BitcoinDark tech (~2000 BTCD) Please help support BitcoinDark development by sending your donations to the following Official BTCD Donation Address: RDtnnLj5LQ8YMxBJbHX1N4jNKeaC67FLGW

Not yet. James has done most (I think) of the coding and they're working in API mode. You can play with them if you like, but they haven't been thoroughly tested/debugged integrated into the client.

The answer is no... Which means it's really still a cool sounding concept with no production environment history. There is no bigger clusterf*ck on earth than Monero... And you guys have managed to fall way behind those XMR assholes... While the Devs go on slack.. and joke endlessly about the price of BTCD. Just stop. Any public CEO acting in such a juvenile manner... would be ousted in days. And it's not even the price of BTCD that concerns me, which is miraculously holding up quite well... It's the liquidity that's almost totally dried up... and is now a tiny fraction of XMR... And LESS THAN freaking ANC = near total lack of interest in this project. OK. Back to the Happy Talk. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F2UAo4IA.png&t=665&c=wPz7QN0aQmgexQ)

I am a supporter of BTCD from the beginning. I got into most of James projects if I can. People that still holding BTCD are not going to sell and people don't belive the project already sold their coins. Only time can tell if all the projects are going to come together.

I did a donation and I have a suggestion if you can provide some kind of weekly updated on the progress with what feature is being work on or maybe just a percentage is completed on the feature. I would be more likely to donate again in the future. Thanks,

BTCD market-maker (MM-BTCD) proposalBTCD is a strong ‘sleeper’ coin, with groundbreaking tech in the pipeline: Teleport, Telepathy, Ramchains and Transparent Forging, as well as acting as InstantDEX’s reference currency. However, in the medium term the market has punished BTCD for several reasons. These include the long BTC bear market, which compounds a downturn in the alts. Crypto investors tend to have short-term timeframes, and several large holders from the proof-of-work phase have dumped thousands of coins on the market. Combined with BTCD’s otherwise low volumes, these factors have pushed the price from a high of 0.015 BTC down to 0.003, and from over $6 down to under $1. BTCD will be integral to SuperNET and likely its #1 use case, but BTCD’s tech has wider appeal, with a broad range of potential applications. We would like to see a thriving BTCD ecosystem on its own terms to complement and facilitate its role in SuperNET. PurposeThe aims of MM-BTCD are: - To reward long-term holders of BTCD
- To incentivise stakers and strengthen the network
- To add liquidity to the markets
- To reduce volatility
- To encourage developers and entrepreneurs to build further apps on top of BTCD
FormMM-BTCD will take the form of a Nxt asset. The reasons for this over a centralised solution are to enable transparency and security, and to facilitate payouts and a secondary market for shares. Most BTCD users are already familiar with Nxt via the SuperNET client. A market-making and arbitrage bot will be used to generate revenues from price differences across several exchanges, including Poloniex, Bittrex and the Nxt Asset Exchange (where BTCD trades as mgwBTCD and superBTCD). These are low-risk activities. Further higher-risk, higher-reward activities such as swing trading in BTCD and other key alts may gradually be phased in depending on initial revenues and risk tolerances. CoinomatThe bot has been coded by Coinomat and is already operating with limited capitalisation. This is a natural choice because Coinomat is known in the BTCD/Nxt communities and already operates the MMNXT bot/asset, which raises revenues from the NXT markets. (Revenues are currently in the region of 3% per month.) Coinomat will also be involved in the new BTCD wallet, offering an integrated instant exchange function, as in the SuperNET client, and the ability to cash out to an anon card. Care will need to be taken to avoid a conflict of interests with MMNXT’s activities. Funding and revenuesInitial capitalisation of 1 million NXT is estimated to be sufficient. Raising money in BTCD and BTC was considered, but these cannot be used to buy assets on the Nxt Asset Exchange. A total of 1 million MM-BTCD assets will be created. Asset id: 8122396658538927693.- 200,000 will be sold at 5 NXT each = 1,000,000 NXT.
- 200,000 will be retained by the asset issuers in return for BTCD capitalisation, development, marketing, maintenance and admin.
- A further 600,000 will be reserved for later sale if additional capitalisation is required.
No issuer-owned assets will be sold below 10 NXT. No further assets for additional capitalisation will be sold below 10 NXT. Payout will be in mgwBTCD/superBTCD, weekly on Wednesdays. Revenues will be distributed as follows: - 90% to assetholders
- 10% to BTCD stakers (this may be as simple as making regular transfers with large tx fees)
Given that BTCD has around 10% of Nxt’s market cap and 5% of the volume, revenues are likely to be low at first. However, the constant buy-pressure will also make a greater difference to the market. Coinomat, Azeh and Cassius

If BTCD is said to be InstantDEX's reference currency and needs more time to be finished, can we extrapolate that InstantDEX cannot be finished until BTCD is finished?

No. BTCD operates as a currency just fine as it is, without Teleport etc.
