BTCD is no more

[omahapoker]

found this thread on page 3 again. interest dying out?




BTCD really needs a good dice site to make BTCD more known

Someone mention a dice site?

dice.btcdplays.com

Card game too

jack.btcdplays.com

very cool congrats of new bitcoindark sites.

i asked about BTCD betting sites because i own the domain BitcoinDarkDice.com and selling it. if interested at all PM me. its real cheap too

It IS a great time to buy BTCD.  There's not much liquidity so even relatively small sells affect the price, and there are plenty of impatient people willing to sell a bit.

At the same time, I've just had to liquidate some (I dropped the price from ~0.01 to ~0.095 over the last few days).  I have to apologise for this.  It's not because I wanted out - far from it - but I had no choice.  Our site (cryptothrift.com) was hacked last weekend and our hot wallet emptied.  Having committed to covering the losses personally, it had to come out of my BTCD holdings.  Needless to say, I'm quite devastated on all counts.  Anyway, enjoy the cheap BTCD at least!

On a side note we need a way to insta buy btcd. Like bitcoins @ circle.

@paul

Ah dang bad luck, but really great move from you to take the loss personally. Heads up good times are ahead of us

ouch
the recent BTC craziness also caused a liquidity crunch for a lot of people
seems just a few BTC will boost the price a lot, but I am waiting for it to keep coming down before I by it all up

Now is the best time to buy BTCD in cheap prices.
This is the last chance to buy cheap coins. Apparently there are still some stupid ready to sell, But the opportunities will end very soon.

I agree, the cheap sellers must not read the thread 

I've had some orders fill over the last five or so days that I figured had no chance.  Pretty sweet, no complaints here

teleport has been working between my servers for over a month, so as soon as I get things tweaked to working with SuperNET API, then it should work as well as it did between my servers. I still had to do accounting report API, but now that we have cloud storage, I want to automatically backup the telepods to the cloud. still recommend making USB backups, but I know how sometimes we forget to do the things we are supposed to.

the current issue is that the existing nodes dont accept the teleport tx, so we need to wait for a node running the latest version to stake a block. Once we update the installed base, this wont be an issue.

anyway, without a bigger network there is only so much I can do. I am glad the community is in big favor to funding these nodes, so lets get them going and paid for as soon as possible

On that James, I didn't understand how the cloud storage works in terms of it's location.  It's not part of the blockchain right? So is it being centralised in a cloud location?

Who will be stepping up and handing the running of the privacy servers?  Has this been determined yet?

The storage will work as a distributed storage system across the network. With a simple command

BitcoinDarkd SuperNET '{"requestType": "savefile"}' (with some other parameters in there, and an optional password)

you will be able to securely encrypt and store any file on the BTCD network. This command will give you some important numbers to remember.

To retrieve your file, you take those important numbers and plug them into:

BitcoinDarkd SuperNET '{"requestType": "restorefile"}'

and anyone with those numbers and your password can recreate the file on their computer.

It's currently working, storing the file in RAM. This will allow for distributed storage applications to be built on top of the BitcoinDark network. Storage space will be able to be monetized.

there will need to be guards against such things, but primarily it will be too expensive
though if you wanted to pay for it, then why not allow it?
100GB on 100 servers is 1 GB per server, so actually possible
with 1000 servers, it is 100 mb per server, so not a big issue

these API I have now is for low level access, enough for teleport to use as online backup of the private chains. since all the critical details are needed to even know what data belongs to you, the requirement that the privatechains need access to your local machine (and all the passwords cracked) remains, so I am ok with cloud backup if telepods

not sure why you ran as sudo, there is no need for that, but once you do you have to either change permissions or keep running as sudo

Ah, that was in the google doc, which I followed as slavishly as I could. So you never need to sudo, just ./BitcoinDarkd & ?
I will try again. Thanks.
When I have got this right I will create some very straightforward documentation so that anyone can run a node from an old computer.

Now is the best time to buy BTCD in cheap prices.
This is the last chance to buy cheap coins. Apparently there are still some stupid ready to sell, But the opportunities will end very soon.

Except when you have this coin its really difficult to sell them unless there is a pump group on it.
Took me four days to sell only 200...Im not buying any more.

Yeah there's not so much buy support.

I have a feeling people will be regretting that soon
