BTCD is no more

BTC for network effect. BTCD for privacy. NXT for 2.0. Is there anything missing from a crypto ecosystem/portfolio?

Excellent post, the only asset i'd like to add to the list is XC. It's also more of a platform (like BTCD) than 'just a coin', their focus is on mobile applications. I hold BTCD, XC, NXT and of course BTC itself

Excellent work. Should we do a fundraiser for a prweb press release? The cost is $500.

Most Interesting Coin. It's Proof of Meme. You post a new Meme together with your Nxt account and you get MIC.

I think someone is LaTex-ing it, and putting images in. Probably worth waiting for that?

It is of course for entertainment only. Sometimes these funny memes are helping me to laugh so I support Ludom (who is now rumored to be BCNext!) to fund his asset issuing and distributing cost.

I will say though, both darks have a great development team behind them. I can't say that for any other coin out there.

Evan does good work, but if DRK is just a decentralized coinjoin, then it is too weak for anything more than personal use.
In any case, BTCD will be able to teleport DRK, BTC, NXT, XMR, etc. Big businesses wont use anything other than BTC itself, but they couldnt until BTCD because of the total transparency of bitcoin

It really doesnt matter which anon coin wins, even if there is actually a single winner, BTCD will be right there teleporting it

James

This is my opinion nothing more.
 
i have followed this thread from the beginning (found late so caught up)
now i have absolute 0% knowledge in coding or coin development yet the community and devs in this thread have given me a different kind of "trust" with btcd than i have found in any other coin. you are active daily, you keep us informed of progress and setbacks and never seem to be far away when needed.

i have started to buy and hold btcd when i can afford to do so. i feel confident i will see a decent return on my investment even on a long term basis, this is due to the reasons above plus the speed at which you work and the dedication you put into it. its like you see a niche in the crypto world and snap it up.

You do not seem to want/expect to be #1 coin, it seems you want to just make a difference in crypto as a whole and for that i commend you.

jl777 - I think that due to the work you have done here and elsewhere throughout the community and for all possible future work, your name will be remembered for a long time.

sorry for the rant and the long way to say "great work keep it up" i just felt that dint quite cut it lol

Wow! Thank you very much. Such kind works is always very helpful to gain strength to battle against difficult bugs.

The world is changing and in many ways for the worse. We used to all have cash to spend and other than the people you spent it with, nobody would really know. In many countries this is maybe the difference between being arrested or not and for the most ridiculous things are being made illegal.

Now cash is systematically being made illegal. You already cannot use cash for any large transactions and fewer and fewer places even accept it. Just use a credit card. Of course and every single transaction is open for anybody to see. Thanks, but not thanks.

Then comes bitcoin and people assume it is private. The big joke is that the govt officials are very happy for bitcoin usage, it is much easier to get transaction records than from credit card companies. Dont even need to submit silly paperwork to get access. Its all just right there. First the cloak and dagger agencies deanonymize, then the lesser agencies, and when the tax agency finally manages to obtain the social security number <-> bitcoin address database, then bitcoin will go from being one of the great things to a tool of the govt agencies

I am no criminal, but now they will probably make laws to classify me as big danger. No matter, I avoid USA and its allies from as big distance as possible. Of course Russia is no better and China, not sure yet.

The world needs cash or something that works like cash used to. This goes beyond any profit making or idealogical thing. Without cash and with govts in total control over what you spend, well, I see a very, very bad future down that path.

Since I can contribute to this fight against global oppression, I work 100+ hours a week to this goal, even though I have more money now than I can spend, though not more money than my wife can spend

not a problem at all i like to give credit where credit is due.

crypto started for me as a hobby and a way to make a very small amount of profit. but as each day passed i understood it a little more, and im learning stuff from just reading and sitting in the background.
the more i learned the more profit i made and became wiser in my investments. i dont think this investment will be a bad one hopefully i can get rid of some of my other ipo coins and re invest here, alltho i think my missus will be taking her fair share of the profits too

This sums up crypto for me as well.
The wife still doesn't fully understand it but listens more intently once she saw the portfolio, and of course is now in the planning stages of her dream vacation.  Which is made possible due to investments in coins I believed in.

I can tell you from experience that China is not better...likely worse...unless of course you're one of the officials in charge.

yea my partner only understands the end fiat amount not the principles of crypto. the highest my portfolio got was <20 BTC from 0 mining on a 6770 gpu and trading. now im at <1 (had to cash out to buy transport to find work and pay bills e.t.c) but im confident ill make more, im a lot more hesitant with my investments now and it seems to be paying off so far.

Agreed, good point.

[jl777]

Good news, well I think its good news.

I realized there is no need to put all my code into the first version of libjl777, so it will only have 15,000 lines of my code (and 20,000+ lines of other code), so that will reduce the time needed to get it all "library-ized" I am not so good with linkers though, I usually just include all the source files and just compile a single file, but this seems to crash the poor microsoft compiler in win7...

I am using quite a few other libraries to build on top of: nacl, libwebsockets, libuv, libtom, picoc, gzip, curl and a few others. I could just make one giant project that starts from the sources of all these projects, which would eliminate the need to go find these from other places. On the other hand, that is just spending time moving stuff around and I dont like reinventing wheels...

How about this for build instructions:
1. find acceptable versions for libnacl (libsodium on Windows), libwebsockets, libuv, gzip and libcurl and make copies/links to them in the build directory for libjl777 (nacl.a, libwebsockets.a, libuv.a, libcurl.a) and I will just assume they are there
2. make

Now you can #include "jl777.h" and link in libjl777 to get access to all the features

Would that be acceptable?

Hey guys, I'm new to these forums, but I've been investing in BTC for a couple years now. I've been following this thread since the beginning and I'm happy to say that I'm a large investor in BTCD now as well Just wanted to say hi to everyone and a big thanks to James and all the helpers for their hard work. I'll be donating 200 BTCD. Have a good one guys!

It will be just to install BitcoinDarkd and make the appropriate entries in the .conf file, also will need a NXT core running and whatever other coin daemons you want your tradebots to have access to.

Now I think the build process might become a bit more complicated as you will need to get:
libcurl, libwebsockets, libnacl, and gzip but for ubuntu these are pretty standard and probably:
-lcurl -lwebsockets -lnacl -lz -luv

The above link extras will allow it to link libjl777
