BTCD is no more

[cloudboy]

Mark my word. It is a scam coin

Not at all, its just one truly honest guy and his 3 sockpuppets 

Hmm not sure about that.

Damn I wake up after considering selling and suddenly Im a whale.

[qiwoman2]

I love this coin ..best coin I bought in a long time..I woke up and my portfolio on Bittrex was up by half a btc..You think it will go up more?

Too many whales trying to push down the price lol..Why not let it rip stupid sell orders lol.

This from the same person who cried wolf at FTC too!

At least James is doing something serious to make this coin something worth holding and using, not just selling.

The sports book betting inside the wallet and the exchange anonymity through NXT is well worth the hold.

Good work JL777!

Don't forget to finish MGW for Nxt also 

[qiwoman2]

Thanks dumpers for the cheap coins.. We need stronger buy support though..

I never got my payout from the gameofcoins pool, I was on it for a few hours before the end of PoW. Many blocks were found by it, all of the hash rate fell from the pool I had been on, that one never found another block after I left. the gameofcoins pool found 4 blocks of the last 10 before PoW ended, yet I never got a payout from it.

Hey BTCD supporters, I will officially be doing all info-graphics and video work for BTCD. I'd like any ideas you have to simplify the technical data that james and the rest of BTCD dev team provides us with.

Btw, this is how easy this 'CryptoNote' protocol is to implement.

https://cryptonotestarter.org/

Ring signatures bloat the blockchain insanely as well. Monero's is almost 1 gigabyte now and it was 100 megabytes 20 days ago.

However, I will give it to the developer; you perfected the initial distribution and PoW.

This coin will trump Monero (100%) because of that, plus since the network is supported by ASICS, the speeds will be faster.

But, again, this coin is no less, and no more anonymous than any other CryptoNote coin, Boolberry, Monero, Bytecoin.

Also ring signatures are not the same as stealth addresses, but they are VERY similar. It's like a stealth address collective, that the receiver signs with a one time key.

I believe it was stated jl777 has a way to implement the cryptonote without the bloat,  you would have to dig through his post history to locate what he is talking about.

I've seen a few comments already about btcd rendering other cryptonotes useless, hopefully your correct.  There seems to be a lot on the table as far as development and features so this is an exciting time.

I own both XMR and BTCD so I would like them both to do well

[omahapoker]

i researched this coin for 48 hours now and convinced this coin is the golden one.




i got bitcoindarkdice.com today.



anyone making a BTCD dice site hit me up if you want to but the best domain name

wow yesterday we had about 16TH combined on the multipools, now there is over 70TH 

yeah, great support goin on my pool. http://btcd.xpool.ca We're hovering between 55-60TH/s

Happy Hashing!

Cheers!

Hello!

I am part of BTCD community now and I happen to be developing a cryptonote fork to add anon features to NXT. It turns out that my methods should apply to BTCD also. I will be working on integrating cryptonote tech into BTCD, but it is more than "just" cryptonote anon tech as I am also making my solution include a near realtime exchange (InstantDEX) so people can directly trade just by running the coin.

How will all this work you ask?
https://github.com/jl777/pNXT has the current source code and it is rapidly being developed.

Once InstantDEX is done, I will be adding Privatebet (peer to peer sportsbook) to the pNXT framework, plus the way it is implemented there is no reason any other number of useful services cant be added.

My efforts are in parallel with all the other BTCD coders and I try to design a clever way to integrate to require minimal changes to the BTCD codebase. So, if I succeed, then all the peoples selling at current prices will not be so happy.
There is no reason that other anon tech in BTCD can't combine with the cryptonote tech, in fact pushing tx through two independent anon algos would only help if it is done properly. So, I bring very good news to BTCD and now I expect a massive in increase in the FUD level

James

P.S. I am not so active on BTT, but you can find out more about me on NXT forums and jl777.org

Will the cryptonote tech lead to any issues with blockchain bloat?

yes,blockchain bloat is an issue for all cryptonote coins, however I chose the boolberry fork to base my work on as it was the most advanced as far as blockchain pruning and just being more efficient. However, I have a plan to use a blockchain FIFO to deal with whatever bloat issues we get. There is no reason to store the entire blockchain, but you do have to process it once. A FIFO is perfect for that, just set the FIFO size to the max lookback window into the blockchain dataset you need (of course you need to store all the keyimages, but that is smaller than the full blockchain). Then after loading the blockchain the first time, all that is left in memory is the FIFO. So as long as you have HDD space you are fine, not limited by system RAM

James

P.S. I am also toying with the idea of using the cryptonote blockchain as a sidechain and maintaining a decentralized ledger. Then we can simply toss the blockchain as soon as there is consensus. However, this is pretty tricky, so most likely not for the first version.

It hasn't been done yet because you if you ever need to revert the blockchain because of a fork, or if an exchange is hacked, then you cannot.

This just encourages hackers to infiltrate exchanges, or even exchanges themselves to take the coins because they know they have them permanently.

Cool idea though.

Well klee lost over 1000 bitcoins last week when he was hacked,  no mention of reverting the blockchain then.   Fork idea ill let someone else answer.  I dont agree with what vericoin did on that fork.  It should of been mintpals responsibility to pay everyone back even if it put them out of business.

If someone isn't responsible keeping their coins secure it is there fault

There are not many coins to go around, I still think this price will be going higher, not sure why anyone would be selling really.

So what is going on with the China markets?

Good question would be nice to get some help from the community to get the ball rolling
