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

[DeViL303]

There's a guy trying to spend .5BTC right now, but he can't buy because nobody's selling.  KEY is obviously too valuable.

What wait, 1 whole guy? trying to spend a whole 0.5BTC? OMG. you were right all along , way too valuable obviously!!

Look, jokes aside, you seem to be the only current keycoin supporter, even the devs left, the keycoin website has been taken down, all the noob accounts they made to support this coin havnt been online since last year...BUT still you have faith. Good luck with your investment.

Here are a few points to note (you can check these yourself) : when this "Interview with Keycoin" was done they claimed that Dan Metcalf (aka atcsecure) had independently reviewed their code and given it the thumbs up, see his review here .

A few interesting quotes from his review on july 29th:

the anonymous system is indeed based on XC

Funny that is was based on XC yet dan hadn't released any source..

At first when the KEY team reached out, my initial response was to say no due to my workload and commitment with XC, but since I am always open to new innovation, I finally decided to accept the request.

LOL, New innovation, he just said it was based on XC.



Dan Metcalf has also stated HERE in October that he was never funded by pr0m in any way:

prom has never funded me in any way

When asked : Have you worked with prom or bob or fontas any other known pump group to date (yes or no and please detail specifically how and what you did and to what extent)
he replied simply:

NO

Here is the funny bit, later he admitted in THIS Q&A session with TK hamed from coinsource that he was infact the creator of KeyOS but at the same time claims to have never developed for any coin other than XC:

6:37 PM <atcsecure> I created keyos
6:38 PM <atcsecure> i was paid by various members in the keyteam for keyos in key & btc
6:51 PM <atcsecure> YES I DID PAID WORK FOR PROM

Funny that, in his earlier review of the code he did not mention being the creator of keyOS and being paid by the team in BTC and keycoin, I can see why he might have left that out of his "peer" review.

Also its worth noting that Pr0m hasn't posted on this site since November 3rd, the same day of that q&a session, coincidence?

Im sorry but these guys have all moved onto the next scam with new names.. if you add up all the buy orders for keycoin it wouldn't add up to 2BTC..sell and move on.

Look, jokes aside, you seem to be the only current keycoin supporter

Then where are the sell orders?

Hey now, I still support Keycoin. Just flabbergasted as to why they are playing the anonymous, coy game with the trader tool. Again, why should they give up on a trader tool beta that was so close to being in final release? What are they waiting for?

I don't know, and of course it would be great if the devs delivered on all their promises.  But my point is that we don't strictly need devs at all.  The coin goes on.

Key is cool

Does anyone here have a wallet that's up to date?  Or can anyone get connections on the network?  Mine isn't synchronizing but I still see activity in the block explorer.

Have you created a Keycoin.conf file?

Go to Control Panel
In the Search box, type Folder
Click "Folder Options"
Click the tab that says View
Make sure there is no check in the box for "Hide file extensions for known file types" (de-select this option and click OK)
Exit Control Panel

On Windows 8, right-click the start button and select "Run"
(for Windows 7, left-click the start button and type "run" into "Search Programs and Files", then click Run at the top of the list)
In "Run", type %appdata% and press Enter
It will open the folder located at Appdata/Roaming, and there will be a Keycoin folder there
Open the Keycoin folder
Right-click the empty space in the folder and select Create New File - create a new Text document
Open the document with Notepad
Paste the following into the file:

addnode=68.118.62.156
addnode=82.156.89.64
addnode=98.175.59.71
addnode=107.170.153.13

addnode=188.165.2.147
addnode=108.163.197.58
addnode=217.75.69.200

Save the file.
Re-name the document Keycoin.conf (filetype .conf, not .txt)

Delete the file peers.dat and replace it with this one:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/4b8q6l0yyejm4v4/peers.dat

Restart your Keycoin wallet.

If it doesn't connect immediately, leave it running for awhile.  I have a wallet that runs constantly, but it's at work so I'll check the configuration I have on that one tomorrow and update this post if necessary.

Cool thanks, I'll try that in the morning.  I moved the wallet from one linux computer to another so I had to have screwed something up there.

[runpaint]

I've uploaded my current Keycoin peers.dat and added it to my previous post.
Hopefully anyone who can't connect will get some connections by using this.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/4b8q6l0yyejm4v4/peers.dat

Download that, and when you delete your peers.dat in the above instructions, replace it with this one before you restart your Keycoin wallet.

[runpaint]

I set up a new wallet with that peers.dat, and it started syncing immediately.  I have 6 connections now.

[runpaint]

My new wallet on a separate IP address has more connections than my wallet that's been running for 6 months.  It shows that there's a little luck involved in finding connections.

[runpaint]

Well the site's back up, did you get any connections?

[swaho]

you have active node list and other information on this site.

Great link!  I've been using coinmarketcap for charts and market information, but cryptoid has a lot more network and blockchain information

I did!  It was a miniupnpc issue so I put it on a different computer where I don't have a fragile dev environment.  Your list of nodes was better than what I had before so I switched to that too.  Thanks for the help!

Also, has the dev shown up anywhere?  I was working with him/them to get a new KeyOS put together, and I basically finished except it's missing KeyTrader.  I think KeyTrader is what made things fall apart, but it wasn't really that good anyway.  If it had better features, and was incorporated into the wallet that would solve a lot of problems.  It shouldn't be necessary to keep coins deposited at Bittrex.

I have some trading bots of my own and it's easy as hell to add similar things into the wallet since I have the source, but it's hard to tell if I would be wasting my time or not.

[runpaint]

Hell no you wouldn't be wasting your time!

Isn't that why all these people were crying "scam", because KeyOS was never released? 

If we had that, I don't think we would necessarily need KeyTrader.  Or in any event it could wait until later.  QuatlooTrader was supposed to be good, but nothing much ever came of that.

 If we could trade without exchanges, the world would be a wonderful place.  But nobody else is able to do it yet either, and the first order of business is the coin's survival and at least a minimum number of users with an aim to growing and expanding. 

If there was a major update like KeyOS released for KeyCoin, it would be huge.  Huge.

Did you know that "lack of active dev" is why Poloniex delisted KEY back in December?  I talked to them a great deal about not delisting KEY, and I pushed it to the point that they were going to ban me from the chatbox.  I started a topic here about it in Service Discussions, and I sent in support tickets to Polo.  But they kept saying "It's up to the dev to do something to change our minds."  In other words, they believed the "scam" accusations because KeyOS was never released. 

So any update at all would bring a lot of attention to KEY and prove a lot of people wrong.  Even just an updated wallet or something minor would boost KEY and take it from "struggling coin with few users" to "current and active altcoin with cool and trendy staking features".  But KeyOS?  That would probably get a few articles written about it on some of these crypto news websites.

Besides, you don't have to worry about keeping coins at Bittrex anymore.  KEY got delisted there.  But the even better news is that volume is pretty big at Cryptsy, now that it's all in one market and people don't have to make unnatural trades to satisfy trex's ransom demands.

Is key on some exchange? And will it rise again?

It's at Cryptsy, and don't call it a comeback cause it's been here for years.
