Forcing people to hold BTCD not a good idea. If they use the service, BTCD holders are earning so that's fine.

At least wait until there is a huge user base and momentum before considering tiny fees.

Less barriers the better.

This is off topic, but i couldn't help notice the "Network Weight" hit 199k a few minutes ago .  What's the highest anyone has seen this go?

250K

I estimate almost 80% is staking! thats nearly 1 million BTCD staking away.
we like our 5% interest

Wow, 250k is up there!  How am I ever going to allow myself to transact with btcd?  Gonna have a hard time spending any until I feel we've reached fair market value.  Problem is, I have no clue when that will be......

No offense to your opinion, but what the hell is the point of holding any BTCD if there aren't charges or required minimum BTCD amounts held to teleport???

Can someone please list the reasons as to why I would want to hold any BTCD at all if there is no fee or required deposit to be handled in BTCD?

Please list those reasons.

Thanks.

5% staking, InstantDEX revenue sharing, Privatebet, whatever other tech I add

that being said, I am strongly leaning toward a min. deposit that unlock free basic teleport, but for more advanced features like faster teleport times, M of bigger N, whatever other premium features I come up with, would require larger deposit to unlock

I think this satisfies both the creating demand for BTCD and minimizing the barrier to teleporting quite nicely and should get us 90%+ the teleport activiting a totally free setup would get

I appreciate the quick response. Thanks, James!!!

I would also encourage a minimum holding required to use teleport, no matter what, and I strongly encourage that amount should be well more than 1 BTCD, at least in the beginning. 1 BTCD is barely pocket change.

What happened with KEY has nothing to do with their minimum holding required. That has to do with the KEY team not having people's trust.

I aim for 100,000 pockets
with so few BTCD, the supply/demand will create artificial shortage and I dont want to have such things distort the price. Short term it will look fine, but look at AUR. prime example of artificial shortage. I think ~10,000 coins were traded back and forth all the way to > 0.1 BTC. It has lost 99.9%+ of its price. Now of course AUR is no BTCD, but whenever there is an overpricing, that means some people are benefiting (sellers) and others are overpaying (buyers), so you cannot have an overpricing without creating a group of people who will have a hard time to not get a negative experience with BTCD.

That is not good. The price should always be as close to its actual value as possible and artificial shortage by its nature is changing the available supply. It is part of the coin, so some could say it is "natural", but it helps to think about such things using extreme endpoints. What if the deposit required was 1000 BTCD? See, that is such a big amount that it will severely limit the people that could use Teleport, which goes against the entire point.

So, I want the price to be so low that thousands of people wont even bother to think about it, maybe they just get 254 so they can have the option of M of 254. So even with 1 BTCD as the minimum, the premium deposits are still possible, but for most people most of the time, 1 BTCD is all that is required.

Once we get to 100,000 teleporters, the deposit would need to be reduced to 0.1 BTCD. Will this create an avalanche of people selling 0.9 BTCD? I think no.

Wow, using PoS with 5% staking and if you use the Tor network (that exists for anybody to use and for govts to infiltrate) you get this fantastic thing called anonymity. And you guys are willing to conquer wall street!  Why didnt I think of this? Would have saved me so much time

I think you are lost. Maybe you need to go to some other thread? I am laughing so hard now, it is distracting

How much do people pay to use Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and Google search?  Nothing

These companies get a huge user base then work out ways to earn income. By the time users get charged some form of minimal fee, they are so used to using it that they don't change. And the product is so good, they are happy to pay a small fee or look at advertisements.

You want to hold BTCD because of the current and future income earning opportunities.

Do you have any idea or explanation how this Coin keept it's value in this bloody days?

There is close to nothing that makes this coin looking attractive to me personel but this observed price stability fact makes me very courious. That's an indication for value.

With all do respect, it seems you know nothing about the Bitcoindark.  Please check the OP and read the following links. I think you will find the answers you're looking for.

@Azeh:

I know not much about BitcoinDark. The things I know I don't like. You may see them as more marginal points: The Name, sha256, the 2 week pow, the pos all this specs  things and there was talk abnout a premine where i haven't figured out how much it was.  It's a bit a personal taste but so I never cared to look deeper into it. I observe the markets and if I see something interesting like this price stability THAN this wakes me for a coin. I don't have to like a coin to invest in it. If a coin is fundamental good i will do. But thats what i am trying to  figure out now you see.

So thank's for the links. Some of them I have already read a bit. My head is full of pirates of the caribians...
Is there a more technical paper too?

[nwfella]

Holy crap.  Woke up this morning to discover that I had 'mined' ~0.0175BTCD after turning stake mechanism on my local bitcoindark-qt wallet on.  I'm seriously starting to fall in love with this alt!  Keep up the good work

[PondSea]

If you think that is cool try this.

I recently moved servers and created a new wallet with 12 addresses. Then I sent 2% of my coins from wallet 1 to wallet 12 then over again. Now I have lots of micro stakes all the time lol .

You know that 4) Darkpaper is 35 pages long technical paper? I'm sure it will satisfy all your information needs about teleport

[jd1959]

I fundamentally agree with requirements to teleport coins.

I think basic teleports should be easy (no requirement to hold btcd), but include slightly higher fee. To decrease fees user would have to hold some btcd and that would give incentive for hodling.
Like James put it: Give discounts for holders that use teleports.

1 btcd reduces fees to normal 0.1% and 100 unlocks 254 N + 0.01% fee?

It would be simplest to have no fees at all the first year (or X months)
simplest means faster to implement and get into production
simplest means less chance for bugs
So this is shift in philosophy, but we can always start adding teleport fees to other coins
I just want as big of user base as quick as possible as the anon set is directly proportional to the user base

Once we have giant user base, then it becomes the place all new privacy seekers have to use. Then nobody minds tiny fees

James

I think your cooking now......so many "anon coins" everybody is getting tired of new this one is better argument.

Anon network free for trial period that's gotta get a lot of attention ....... even from the BTC crowd that dismiss all other coins

Build it and they will come

[jd1959]

On another note I think announcing on the bitcoin thread was a little premature

I understand the excitement of creating something new and wonderful

the BTC crowd don't want to be told about anything......They need to find it for themselves

[threecats]

I have been thinking about why this coin and thread are fairly fud-free so far, and realized that one must expend a meaningful amount of brainpower to understand teleporting and the associated ideas. And it's like Mark Twain said, thinking is hard work, that's why so few people do it.
