BTCD is no more

[jl777]

Let me be clear and catch up what is going on.

By "teleport," do you mean convert one coin to the other?

And if so, is there any way I can stake that cool idea?

Thanks

No, Teleport means to send BTCD (or BTC or NXT, etc) to somebody else, but without leaving any traces on the blockchain that can identify you. However, the transaction does use the blockchain to verify that it happened (or if only partway, the exact status is determined using the blockchain)

darkpaper that explains this is being revised by professional copy writer based on my draft. While he is doing that I am completing the coding. Currently on the receiving side of the teleport, actually there needs to be some back and forth to make sure the other side is able to receive. We dont want any transporter malfunctions. Something as basic as the other side is not able to accept a specific coin, etc.

P.S. InstantDEX will let you convert from any coin to any other as long as there are orders in the orderbook

Ran into a bit of an unexpected complication.
Since each teleport will actually be many separate telepods, the whole issue of partial completion needs to be handled properly. Since I am using encrypted UDP in some paths with no guaranteed delivery, I need to implement some sort of retry with congestion control, eg. similar to TCP/IP protocol. And then to deal with partial completion, I decided to just abort and sweep all the telepods whether they were transmitted or not, to local telepods. This sacrifices the aging, but better safe than sorry.

So after this sort of thing happens, the blockchain needs to be monitored to determine exactly what got through and what didnt. Actually that has to happen in any case, so no extra work there. Creating and maintaining some sort of encrypted accounting record is on the list of stuff to get done after the initial version is working.

The whole implementing TCP/IP like protocol sounds like a lot of work (and it was!), but good news is I did exactly that a couple months ago for NXTsync and the code is eerily similar. So, I already have it all coded.

All that is left is the coding proper cloning of a telepod as described in the darkpaper. I have to make sure there is no contamination in the cloning, so this is not for late night coding.

I think I am up to ~1500 lines of new code for teleport, with a bit more to go to finish the cloning. After that a day or two to debug, then a few brave testers can verify it works for them too. Then another day or two to enhance the onion routing and scrub the broadcast packets, and propagating public keys. At that point it will be ready for some people to test. Maybe I will skip the enhanced onion routing for the first release.

So, my coding writing block disappeared and it feels like the hardest stuff is behind me. A significant part of the Teleport code is using MGW code, so that explains how it is coming together so quickly, especially with the NXTsync stuff also coming into play.

James well i am all in on BTCD.

Sold most of my alt coins, leaving me with QORA/NXT/BTCD.

Bought most at 165k after not listening to you at like 30k. I think with you around the only way this coin will go is up.

I will do my best to make sure you will be very happy with BTCD ROI
I am very invested in both BTCD and NXT too

Kinda off topic, but I'm excited because Trezor is now selling their hardware wallets online and I just bought one for $119.  The price is pegged to the US dollar but you must pay in btc.  Also, free shipping worldwide.  This is something I've been waiting for

BitcoinDark by xpool - The Official BTCD Multipool

http://btcd.xpool.ca

PROP reward system

BTCD Payouts

Scrypt & SHA256 & X11 Algo's

DDoS Protected

High Performance Backend

Simple setup and usage

1% Fee

To mine:

Get Started

Shift Profit History

How does it work?

xpool offers 3 different sets of coins to mine. SHA256, Scrypt and X11. Each algorithm runs on a shift (see below). The confirmed coins are traded on the top 4 exchanges throughout the duration of the shift automatically to maximize the profits by exchanging them into BTCD and creating buy pressure in the BTCD markets! Once the shift ends, the shift is moved into "Confirming" status while all the coins are confirmed as successfully traded and exchanged, the BTCD payments are sent.

Current shifts run 24 hours, Monday - Friday and end at 7PM Eastern each day except Saturday & Sunday. The weekend shift ends on the Monday. Payments are then finialized and typically complete 2-3 hours after a shift ends.

The advantage of the pool is that you can utilize your any GPU, CPU and older ASIC equipment to earn you the more desired BitcoinDark.

Cheers and Happy Hashing!

Port	Algo	Example
3500	SHA256	stratum+tcp://mine.btcd.xpool.ca:3500 -u <BTCD address> -p ANYTHING
3600	SCRYPT	stratum+tcp://mine.btcd.xpool.ca:3600 -u <BTCD address> -p ANYTHING
3700	X11	stratum+tcp://mine.btcd.xpool.ca:3700 -u <BTCD address> -p ANYTHING

Donations welcome or tip me, crackers, on IRC!

Any issues, please report them here or feel free to PM me, as I can't always see every post.

Over 184 BTCD sent out on Fridays shift.

FYI it looks like the other pool is non-operational anymore. I would suggest you mine with xpool, the official BTCD Multipool.

We have been paying out daily however mining support is slowing down. I would like to continue paying out daily, so please, if you want to earn BTCD daily with your mining hardware, send some hash over.

Cheers!

I agree with clovis A., your ramblings are always a very interesting read especially for those who are curious and want to get every peace of info possible and understand more, so I guess most/all of us here
ramble on..

All the "rambling" brings the community together as well.  The collective knowledge and excitement that result from James rambling, is shared throughout. And something that simple unites people without them necessarily even realizing it.  I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way....

And, with that, I'll cease my rambling  ................ Peace

agreed, something beautiful is happening here and I hope to stick around and get more involved with the time, who knows probably make new friends too

You've made one, at least

awesome!! 

[id10tothe9]

nice, I'll try to get more funds soon and will donate to anon card too 

[IceColdTommy]

new funds were sent to anon cards address can the sender please pm me so i can take note on site who sent them

[jl777]

I feel a bit tired today, I think it is time for a rare day off to recharge before the final dash to finish line.

Yes, that feels the right thing. I will be relaxing and probably offline until Monday.

Maybe this will allow the price to come down so I can get some more cheap BTCD

You earned it man, take it easy.

[clovis A.]

Awful quiet around here today.  I'm hopin we can dip below 140k before James finds his way back to the thread; I'd love one more opportunity for semi-cheap coins before we start teleporting here and there and everywhere 

Peace

Updated OP!

Initiating a new branding image to reflect recent developments and gearing up for a marketing blitz that will start soon and be at full steam upon the release of the new features in a couple of weeks!

Hope you guys are buying all these cheap coins...not gonna last much longer

Nicely done!

[jeezy]

Can someone write up a quick guide how to set up your BTCD correctly to get the maximum stake? (Let's say for example splitting it to 10 wallets)
