Sorry, it's hard to gauge the tone of your voice through the internet, but is this a sincere question?
I was contacted by someone from key coin back when the marketcaps were close to each other. I was quite surprised to see it fall so far so fast, just not sure why it happened. like with cloak. one day $5 mil+, now 90%+ loss I dont have time to deeply research coins like I used to, so I was just wanting to understand James

I wouldn't charge too much for teleport. If the fee is high then so few people will use it that it might as well not exist. I can go for charging 1 btcd for max security setting but if the coin reaches 10 dollars or more then sending just a simple transfer would be pricey at 1 btcd per low setting teleport.
it wont be a fee, just a requirement to have it, you can and should be staking with it the fee will be something small like 0.1% Oh well in that case I don't see a problem with that. It will make Teleport the high class way to send coins. Only for the people that want to transfer large amounts of money with the best security around.

plz make it clear it is not a fee, but just a deposit required 1 BTCD required to use teleport 1 BTCD is really awesome compared to the requirements of other coins for their anon solutions. BTCD truly is for the people.

Would it be possible to charge a percent of the market cap rather than a coin amount? anything is possible, but querying orderbooks is not good design for this also, it is not a fee, just a requirement to have some BTCD to be able to use teleport facilities sort of like being part of the club. James Ok, in that case it makes much more sense. So essentially it gives more incentive for people to buy and hold btcd as it allows them teleport options. I voted no, now that I understand it more clearly I vote yes.

That's a lot of maybe's. I have been following BTCD recently due to the fact it had a huge rise in price and is still holding around there despite all these dumps going on. It's definitely peaked my interest, but from what I can tell, BTCD's value has really only been dependent on promises made by the dev(s) so far. I don't see any major feature releases yet. Am I missing something? Do you know what happened to keycoin? Difficult to say the least. There was a full on FUD attack (nasty one) which im sure helped drive it down to its current state.

I voted no, now that I understand it more clearly I vote yes. Yes, just another incentive to HODL I tend to keep coming up with such ideas. I am just worried that if BTCD gets to three digits (fiat) it might be too expensive of a requirement. I guess we can always reduce the minimum deposit factor and this will do quite nicely to limit the M of 254 multisends. The wealthy can easily afford to keep a few hundred BTCD staking forever and most people wont need the M of 254 level privacy. I estimate this would reduce the available trading supply of BTCD quite significantly, maybe too much. That is my concern, it might work too well and create artificial scarcity and that is not good.

I'm in favor, however I think the 1 btcd number should be up for debate as well. Maybe 0.5? What if BTCD gets to $100 per coin? Anything is possible. If the poll ends up in favor of For, we can then always do a related poll afterwards.

Last night I came up with a way for increasing demand for BTCD, possibly by a lot, but it is a bit controversial. At least I think it is. With the current poll kind of tied and no clear mandate, I think it is time for a new poll.
As you know there will be ability to fragment each telepod into M of N pieces, with M needed to reconstruct on the receiving end. The higher the value of N, the better privacy and N can go to a crazy high number of 254. However such a number would create some load on the network, just bandwidth and not permanent, but still it is an issue.
So, I was thinking of requiring 1 BTCD per N, meaning if you need 1 BTCD to do 1 of 1 multisig, basically no multisig. if you have 10 BTCD, then you can use N of up to 10, etc. So to be able to fully utilize multisend (? not sure of name) you would need to have 254 BTCD. Doesnt sound like much, but with only 1.2 million BTCD this will create at most 4700 people that can do M of 254 multisend and realistically much less.
On the other hand, if even 100,000 people want to start teleporting (any currency not just BTCD) they would need at least 1 BTCD to do any teleporting of anything. This would create a hardcap of 1.2 million teleporters and realistically more like 100,000 as it is safe to say there are a lot of people with more than 1 BTCD, thus lowering the available BTCD. this is why it is controversial. I dont want to artificially limit teleporting and I think 1 BTCD requirement to enable teleport is not unreasonable.
This min 1 BTCD requirement would permanently take X BTCD off market where X is the number of people who are teleporting and actually X * Y, where Y is the average M of N level that people fund. If X is 10,000 and Y is 5, that just took 50,000 BTCD permanently off the market. Is this too drastic?
I just want to be sure. Can we have a poll?
James
I hate, hate, hate this idea. Why do you need to add artificial measures to raise BTCD's price? If BTCD is used, then the price will go up. Measures that make teleporting expensive (and 1 BTCD could easily become worth a lot) will just kill the coin long term. Imagine if BTCD had a marketcap the same as bitcoin. Each BTCD would be worth 6000 dolllars and if would be too expensive for most people to teleport. What would happen? BTCD teleporting would suck because so few people used it, and someone would clone BTCD, make it much cheaper to teleport and everyone would use the new coin and BTCD would fall off the map. Imagine if twitter had decided to charge for tweets (even a fraction of a penny). That would be killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. I fear this would do the same to BTCD longterm.

I just thought it would be strange to allow BTCD to teleport BTC for some BTC guy who didnt even have any BTCD

The alternative is that I could charge teleport fees in BTCD, but that makes for much more complicated code

I think it is a very reasonable idea if the fee is scaled with the growth of btcd value.

If it is possible to have the poll for approx deposit amount cap, I think it will help. These fears of $6000 deposits are unfounded, BTCD is not like DRK! I think anything over >$10, $10, $5, $1, 0.1, 0.01 something like that. keep in mind this would be cap and when market price exceeds it, we would need to update it with a new version

I think it is a great idea! It is not unlike having to have a minimum deposit in a savings account with a bank before they give you a loan. They will also earn interest on the BTCD just like a savings account.
