One good idea I have is to add XCN support to my BitShop script so that all existing shops using my script can sell products for XCN. I will ask an altcoin payment gateway such as coinpayments.net to accept XCN and in return I will add support for their gateway to BitShop, which will bring them a lot of new users. That way I can create a fairly good marketplace around XCN quite quickly.

Well I was unable to contact coinpayments.net directly because they don't provide a contact email address, but I was able to use their coin request form and told them that I have a proposal which will benefit all parties involved. Hopefully they will respond soon, but if anyone knows of any other good cryptocurrency payment processors which accept a wide range of coins, let me know and I will send them the same proposal.

Wow Wtf, this is disappointing. This coin probably interest(ed) a lot of people. Dev can you PLEASE do something to this coin to make it popular.

I mined a few weeks after launch, thought it was going somewhere..in another 1 month like this itll be completely dead. PLEASE DO SOMETHING I  BEG OF YOU

How bit would the bit coin blockchain be under the cryptonite implementation?

Exactly. The dev has made the coin i.e. 99% of the work.

If the coin has genuine value in the market, and it does seem that way, it will catch on.

Most people are okay with spamming shitcoins but have a healthy distaste for pumping better coins.

NO. Its because those shitcoins release new stuff all the time even if its just announcements, good coins think they can not do anything and people will magically buy the coins.

No, it's because those shitcoin people spend all their time and money on promotion and marketing so that their premined coins can be sold for a hefty profit. All they care about is whether or not people buy their coin and push the price up. And it's sad because many of the top ranking coins are not there due to their innovation or merit, but simply because they had a strong marketing campaign.

My main focus is not promotion because I don't treat Cryptonite like a business. But I am doing what I can to spread awareness of Cryptonite, I've done several interviews and most recently my goal is to get XCN accepted by one of the altcoin payment processors so that I can create a market around XCN and give people a reason to own XCN apart from just holding and hoping the price goes up.

Cryptonite is and always will be an open source community project, not a company owned by anyone. There will never be a "Cryptonite Foundation" because history shows that those types of centralized organizations are easily corrupted and are the antithesis of P2P technology. My point is, this is a community effort, don't expect us to do everything. We are all responsible for the success of Cryptonite.

+1

we should find more places to advertise the great benefits of XCN.

I'd also like to make the point that keeping the focus on shit and scam coins inhibits the growth of more legitimate crypto projects.

There's more than a few payment options that stand to lose money, if good projects catch on, and in addition to the obvious money to be made by scammers, if people get fed up with crypto because of them, then these same companies are beating their competition.

I'm saying that, it's highly likely that in addition to obvious scammers, there's an active movement toward keeping good competition down, and I wouldn't  be surprised at all if groups outside of cryptocurrencies are taking an active role in purposely keeping the focus on shit coins, because it'll cost them less in the long run.

I dont mind about it. To me, XCN is like Bitcoin in 2009.

On the blockchain explorer I looked up two wallets I have. One lists the two transactions and the total, the other lists only a total balance but there were three transactions. Is there a reason for this?

http://explorer.cryptonite.info/?address=CWKcW3XCGe6VntryY7pEmKv8cs51TWMUZj
Should show three transactions.

Hmmm looks like you've found some sort of bug in the block explorer. I'll look into it shortly.

[bitfreak!]

After a bit of debugging I found the problem and it should be fixed now. Turns out that the cron job wasn't running as the apache user and so it couldn't create new files properly. Something to keep in mind for anyone running the block explorer.

Why would that affect one address and not others?

It's kind of hard to explain. I believe the issue was preventing all new addresses from showing up properly on the explorer. When the block explorer was first set up most of the addresses were properly processed by manually running the script which I'm now running as a cron job. So after I stopped doing it manually and set up the cron job it was running under a different user, which led to permission issues when it was faced with an address it hadn't seen before.

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but I set the withdrawal limit of an address to zero and now I am unable to raise the withdrawal limit.  I looked at the debug log output for the CommitTransaction process, and I noticed that the error message for the AcceptToMemoryPool step was "insufficient funds".  So I set my transaction fee to zero hoping that would allow the transaction to go through.  Although the transaction still failed, when I checked the debug log output again, the error message for the AcceptToMemoryPool step was changed to "no inputs/outputs".  So with no transaction fee, at least it seems to have failed for a different reason.  I even tried putting some XCN in a new address in the same wallet, and then reinstating the transaction fee, hoping that it could somehow draw the transaction fee from the funds available in the new address.  However, the setlimit transaction still failed.  I also tried giving more than one address argument to setlimit, but all I got was a usage message.

Bitfreak, do you know of any way that I can raise the withdrawal limit for an address once it has been set to zero?  At the very least, this may be a situation that you would want to consider idiot-proofing in a future software update.  In my defense, since I'm the idiot in this situation  , a naive user might consider doing this as a way to protect the funds at an address he/she intends to use for long-term storage.

I don't think I've actually ever tried setting the withdrawal limit on an address to 0 and I'm not sure if it can be undone, I'll have to ask catia about it. One thing to keep in mind is that when you increase the withdrawal limit it will take 100 blocks before the withdrawal limit gets updated. But I'm not sure why it's saying you have insufficient funds, I'm guessing it has something to do with your withdrawal limit being 0. The setlimit transactions are pretty weird, the input and output address are the same, where the output value is the new limit value and the difference between the input and output values is the fee. But I think if you use a command like gettransaction it wont show the true structure of the tx, it will show a simplified version of the transaction which makes more sense.

PPL are leaving,I choose to stay with dev here.

There's more of us sticking around. I wish I had the means to help drive real world usage towards XCN, but unfortunately I have neither the skills nor the time for now. I'm confident that the community, however small it is today, will continue to grow, and figure out ways to push XCN forward.

Happy mining!
