[ANN] [KEY] KeyCoin | Fair Launch | 10/24 Update: KeyTrader v2 - Windows + Mac

[3r197]

Did everyone notice that BitTrex wallets are all offline?

This is apparently due to a Micro$oft Azure issue.

For traders who might have their KeyCoin minimum value to activate KeyTrader parked on BitTrex this would be a trading disaster - you couldn't use your wonderful trading tool anywhere because you could not validate your KeyCoin possession, could you?

And do people recall MtGox, CryptoRush and Mintpal, to name a few spectacular failures? And really, what is the true tally of hacked exchanges and payment platforms?

These are the reasons I really, really don't like leaving coins on exchanges except when actively trading them.

I'm sure everyone can see where I'm going with this

Can I make yet another plea for KeyTrader2 to respond to local wallet balances rather than taking the quick and dirty route of exchange API call? Please?

It surely can not be too hard to set "listen" to "true" in the wallet config or even hard code it in the next update and for KeyTrader2 to make a "getbalance" call to 127.0.0.1:IForgetThePortNumber. I haven't gone through the code so staking might introduce a little complexity to the getBalance function but hardly a major challenge compared with the benefits of additional network security through staking (that is the reason for POS after all) and the personal coin security of not leaving balances on exchanges for longer than absolutely necessary.

I put forward a significant list of cosmetic irritants, corrections to improper calculations and suggested improvements for KeyTrader2 but I can not stress too greatly the desirability of local wallet balance over exchange balance in order to unlock KeyTrader functionality.

I know that it means an extra startup call to get balance as well as an external call to get value but so worth it.

Please, whoever or whatever committee has the final say, make this a "must have" feature of KeyTrader. I'll happily wait longer for it. Hopefully everyone else can see the value of it too.

Looks like it's back up on Bittrex, but I agree with you, I rarely keep my money on the exchange unless I'm trying to accumulate at rock bottom prices.

Thanks for all the hard work with testing the trader. Sent you a tip!  
Cheers!

Good news  https://bittrex.com/Market/?MarketName=BTC-KEY
"This market is in danger of de-listing due to low trade volume and lack of user interest. It may be removed on December 19th unless the average daily trade volume for the last 7 days exceeds 0.2 BTC."

God save KEY

God save KEY

if your holding in KEY at the expense of BTC then your shooting yourself in the foot

[hrshak462]

Where do I bend over?

edit:  I guess I will move my coins from Bittrex to Cryptsy for now, then into my wallet later.

You're right, it is time for a KEY/USD exchange.   

KEY on BTC-e

Idiots this is total scam, MOOSANYC is scamer. The same situation, the same lies about Crypt on BTC-e....

[runpaint]

I haven't been in altcoins very long, but I recently became interested in KEY and I think it's just as good as or better than hundreds of other coins people are still trading.  How many of them are attempting something like an Operating System?  So I thought it was worthy of a few dollars along with all the other coins I've invested in.

When Poloniex announced that they were delisting 17 coins on the same day, including KEY, I asked them to reconsider.  But they had no interest in hearing what I wanted to say about it.  (I made a thread about that, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=898025.0)

Anyway, I still can't get my KEY wallet to connect to the network.  Anybody have suggestions?

[tacocat]

Idk but i sold all my KEY. I am out of this shitcoin

Hi runpaint

Have you made a KeyCoin.conf file?

If not then create a text file containing the following two lines

addnode=107.170.153.13
addnode=178.62.54.145

and save it to Windows Directory: \Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Roaming\Keycoin\KeyCoin.conf
or Mac Directory: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Keycoin\KeyCoin.conf

depending on your system and then restart your wallet.

You should then connect and begin downloading the block chain.

Best of luck and best wishes of the season from the land down-under

I had the following nodes:

addnode=107.170.91.220
addnode=178.62.42.109
addnode=178.62.51.49
addnode=107.170.35.189
addnode=188.226.184.232
addnode=162.243.122.97
addnode=107.170.153.13
addnode=95.85.62.12
addnode=178.62.54.145


So now I removed everything else besides the nodes, but it's still not connecting.  

Thanks for your help, and Merry Christmas.  I heard Santa is giving KEY this year.

Hmm... I'm very sorry you are having difficulty.

I know the following nodes are active atm by virtue of my wallet being connected to them:

108.163.197.58
137.135.60.66
198.199.102.165
188.134.72.213
150.101.188.160
137.175.198.29
188.165.2.147

so you can add those nodes with confidence. Bear in mind those are the nodes giving the best response from down-under and may not be the optimum for your use.

It may be a good idea for you to delete peers.dat too, another will be written by the wallet shortly.

Don't forget to restart your wallet to make it read KeyCoin.conf again.

Good luck

nobody using the faucet. coin to be de-listed. such pity 

[runpaint]

I figured out the problem with my keycoin.conf file - I had to go into control panel - folder options and de-select "hide known file extensions". 

It was naming the file keycoin.conf.txt

[runpaint]

...but I still have no active connections after restarting, rebooting, rescanning.

Some wallets just work, and some don't.  I have installed about 20 different coin wallets that worked immediately, and maybe 4 or 5 that I never got working.
