BTCD is no more

[jjiimm_64]

Is there a consolidated place where I can get info about  what does what in regards to supernet and btcd?   visa vi dividends

http://thesupernet.org

If you haven't already seen it, the diagram at the bottom of the webpage is a good visual and good start to understanding it.  There's also the "SuperNET - Information for prospective volunteers" pdf that you can read.

Thanks for the link.  What I found in the PDF that may pertain to me is:

Code:

Revenues received from the services detailed above and any others added by participating 
cryptocurrencies will be distributed in the following proportions:
 5 percent for BTCD stakers, via an associated NXT address

I do own some BTCD, Am I then one of the stakeholders?     I am still fuzzy on the details.

some tricky onion bugs, but I now have all three of my servers onion routing 1 to 10 layers between the three servers and sending a message back to themselves. Sounds silly, but each packet is going to the other servers and bouncing around until it comes back.

10,000 onions so far.

All servers are doing this at the same time, so there are three overlapping onion routes active.
each server is doing around 30 such onions per second, which is about right as with an average of 5 hops, the encrypting, decrypting, so each hop of 5 milliseconds is not bad. probably limited by the printouts across ssh anyway.

so what this means is that I think I have debugging the low level routing, at least on a small 3 server topology.

So now, I need to get 10 VPS running the latest version. preferably from different data centers so we can get some global packet routing tested.

Up to 50,000 onions!

I am not totally happy with the startup packet traffic, so I have hardcoded just my servers from a lot of the message passing. After we get the 10 VPS running the latest version https://github.com/jl777/btcd get me the IP addresses and I will make a new version that whitelists these new servers and make a new version that will test the SuperNET API on a larger network than 3 servers in the same data center

P.S. you need to have just the btcd from my repo and NXT installed along with a SuperNET.conf file

P.P.S. 70000 onions. so it seems pretty stable

I wouldnt know how to set it up.

I can get vps from digital ocean and linode. if I was to give you details did you want to set it up?

It is time for others to start building the SuperNET enhanced BTCD
maybe you can team up with someone?

I could set this up on a couple of my boxes. Is there a detailed readme somewhere?

https://github.com/jl777/btcd/blob/master/libjl777/README.md gets you the libraries built
after than it is a normal
make -f makefile.unix to build BitcoinDarkd

will give this a crack soon.

Just my review on Bitcoindark. I hope it could help someone =)
BTCDARK – http://www.cryptobang.com/2014/09/24/btcdark-the-cake-is-not-a-lie/

A lot of good points in your review, one thing I had a problem with is you say the price is "unstable". Yes, the price rises and falls a little as with every coin, but the rise is a constant growth. Instead of looking at the day or even week long charts, take a look at the over all growth of the coin as exhibited by this cryptsy chart

Hi! I mean that price can be overrated. BTCDARK is the most powerful among any of anonymous coins for today. But it is hard to predict the future of all the anonymous coins as well.

In all fairness... What you just said does not match what you said in your article:

"Unstable. The value of BTCD is extremely unstable – more like a rollercoaster than a reliable asset to put your money. Any better way to keep away more serious investors?"

Also 'Unstable', in the article, is a link that points to a drk/btc pair on bter. Are you sure you had all the facts or you were even looking at BTCD when you came to this ridiculous conclusion?

We all saw the competition of DarkCoin and BitcoinDark. DC was pawned, and then it was resurrect again. So, are you sure that current price for BTCD is stable? Are you sure that no more anonymous coins ll be set up soon? Some of em could provide better implements that BTCD can.

Just a note, I don't know if somebody else have posted it, but it seems like that cryptsy have fixed the BTCD withdrawal problem, is was able to get 100+ BTCD out in less than 15 min :-)

But i still better like bittrex.


Any one know if its best to buy

btc -> BTCD or BTC -> NXT -> BTCD

Why BTCD is currently FROZEN on Polo?

Why BTCD is currently FROZEN on Polo?

it's disabled on Bittrex as well... any idea about them?

Jim

As long as you keep the wallet open and unlock to stake then you are one of the stakeholders. The point is to keep the network as secure as possible and only people staking can make that happen. Along with gaining more BTCD, the dividend is pretty much an incentive since so much of SuperNET will be riding on BTCD. There is also mention of checking how long each user stakes to determine fairness of dividend so that opening the wallet once a month for a few hours doesn't gain the same benefit as someone that always keeps theirs' open. Basically, you are rewarded twice over for keeping the wallet open and staking.

I wana know why its disabled on bittrex too,If u have info please pm me

Jl777 may know the details, just wait and hope nothing wrong with BTCD.

I thought they werekilling XMR this week. Not BTCD  

Was quite shocked to see it frozen on shittrex this AM. What's the deal?

[threecats]

hehe maybe those ten testers with the VPNs ran into the higgs particle while testing and fried all the circuits. ?

or they just sent some BTCDs to hyperspace and found no way to retrieve back 

[Boobsy]

hehe maybe those ten testers with the VPNs ran into the higgs particle while testing and fried all the circuits. ?  

Are they doing this proof of concept test within the live environment?  
That's what test networks are good for!

[threecats]

there goes noah starting the cover story to conceal the whole higgs boson situation : -)
