BTCD is no more

Status report:

Been helping out other devs and we have seen an early GUI release from longzai, also I am about get a new release of the core that is all ready for me to interface to and I have most of the debugging portion of the accounting coded up. I "hired" an expert on PoS algo (he found flaw in PPC) to make sure BTCD algo is fine. He didnt ask for any money, but I will gladly pay for expert help. Already jimmy2011 suggested an improvement which we have put into the test version.
InstantDEX GUI is also making some progress and even helping some new coins deciding to plug into the supernetwork

So, now that my "day" is done, time to get some serious coding done. Good thing I have a 16 hour workday

Lol, why did you have to comment.

Now the price is up already. :/

BOING!

Just been thinking that pow coins are all in decline, BTCD on the rise which will make mining to earn coins then trade for BTCD very costly in electricity

I've seen my returns drop to 30% in a week.....ITS TIME TO HODL FOLKS

I love swimming with the whales even if I'm only a minnow, but I won't touch my BTCD wallet to do it

You have read how BTC could oneday be worth $5000?
Well, ever wonder how on earth that was going to happen?

Think about it.

OK, I hope you see the answer

James

How?
I have seen such figures bandied around for possible future BTC price.
Im a noob so really dont know.

Depends what state the world's fiat currencies are in. BTC could be US100k a coin but that 100k could be worth a lot less than it is today.

In a few years time, the most important ratio might be BTC/GOLD. Was around 1:1 last Nov.

Anyway, hypothetically speaking, if BTCD settles at $50 or 0.1 BTC over the next few months, then with BTC at $5000 , BTCD will be $500. Nice.

In XMR I'm expecting a slow rise with bumps.  No significant month-end dumping this time, unless there's a delusional panic of some sort.  I can barely even formulate this expectation, let alone articulate a justification for it.  If pressed, I would say:  Not enough monero on offer to stay below 0040, but too much disaster going on in cryptoland for a proper bull stampede.  BTSX is an absolute catastrophe for crypto generally, on the scale of Mt. Gox.  Other price leaders are pretty awful too.  DRK is destroying a lot of wealth.  Naive DRK holders who don't understand the distinction between DRK and XMR at a technical level just feel robbed.  BTCD could do a lot of damage to crypto as well.  This PoS blackcoin clone's market cap passed XMR today.  It could be several days before it collapses into obscurity.  Until it tops out, the dumpers won't be rolling their ill-gotten gains into XMR yet, so no choo-choo.

Looks like some of the monero people are scared now. I hope jl777 rips him a new one!

Any way we can get the heads up on which coins will be joining the network? I expect those coins to get a bump if they do.

After a day of thinking I jumped back in.
Can't imagine what the price will be when Teleport is implemented.

yes I think people on this thread will find out about such coins
I will just make a post with the coin's symbol without any other text to indicate I think it is likely they will be joining the supernetwork
I wont answer any questions about what it means and nobody else should. So only regulars who read all posts will know the "code"

Been on somewhat of a BTCD forum hiatus over the last four or five days..... sure missed this place.... great to be back!!  .  Still have some catching up to do in the thread (was over 30 pages behind )..... the pages really started piling on with all the action we've experienced. 

It's been great to live vicariously through everyone's emotions during these last few days.  Totally reminds me of the feeling I had reading the run of emotions the thread experienced after entering the 3PH zone during launch.  As usual, great work from the devs and amazing community!!

Peace

Give us a key to a cypher then write the name of the coin using that

Phew, implementing new features is tough work!

I've got a custom message type running in the beta build of btcd, and multiple nodes sending and receiving them. Once I pass the relevant data, we will simply need to link in the relevant libjl777 routines and pass them to it!
