I posted in slack about a 0.12 hardfork to very positive reaction, so I will describe here the plan:
Currently iguanacore is in testing of the RPC layer, this will allow iguanacore to be a dropin replacement for BitcoinDarkd/bitcoind for all except creating new blocks. During the transition phase, we still need the normal BitcoinDarkd nodes to create the blocks.
However, yesterday I studied the exact staking method and also the 0.12 codebase and realized I could relatively quickly get a BTCD0.12 release, once the staking code is put into an isolated module. I did get a 0.12 to start syncing with the existing BTCD network, but the protocol has changed enough that it didnt really get going, other than to find some peers after genesis
In my opinion, the safest path is to update the BitcoinDarkd to the 0.12 codebase and have it take over the block generation. The iguanacore would be able to submit staked blocks to the network, but by having the 0.12 nodes doing the actual new block creation, we will benefit from all the improvments in the bitcoin codebase. especially regarding all the various fork resolutions.
Eventually, iguanacore will handle all this, but by having the 0.12 nodes take this over, it allows a faster deployment. Also, it will allow me to create a (0.12 <-> iguanacore) interop network and enhance the 0.12 codebase with other iguana interop features.
as a bonus, I also figured out an enhanced staking that will add value to the staking process, but I dont want to disclose details until I get at least a proof of concept working.
This would require a hardfork, which means older nodes will eventually go off onto their own fork. So all nodes would need to upgrade. We can make it so that the 0.12 is deployed well ahead of time in a follow the existing chain mode, until the hardfork block. At that time, it takes over block generation.
The following are the release points, without the 0,12:
1. bitcoin RPC compatible
2. instantdex API stable
3. tradebots API stable
4. pangea API stable
5. PAX API stable
6. asset passport API stable
The RPC compatible iguanacore is doing quite well in testing and once that is released, theoretically all existing bitcoin RPC apps would be able to work with it. We will test it with MGW and a few other standard bitcoin RPC based apps.
Now, I am speaking about the iguanacore and not the GUI, which is quite independent of the core by using the bitcoin RPC as the interface layer.
Assuming the community wants the 0.12 hardfork, we need someone to coordinate it. I will disclose to the hardfork coordinator the new enhanced staking, so proper marketing plans for that can be made. I just dont have time to deal with all the non-technical aspects for the hardfork
James
P.S. There is also the chrome app release that will require existing nodes to be deployed first, so that is not a specific release point.

Regarding supernet NAV, there are coins not listed such as opal, chance, etc. Have these been sold or is their value too low to list? |

Supernet does marketrate swap at rate of 120 SuperNET assets for NXTventure's sharkfund0. This provides indirect ownership of sharkfund0's 120,000 BTCD stake, which when prorated is a bit over 30,000 BTCD, in addition to the other holdings of sharkfund0. NXT txids 14267855016414469572 and 9842386871139077046

Is there a certain reason for doing this and will there be a timeframe for it? |

Is there a certain reason for doing this and will there be a timeframe for it? there are reasons, but you would need to think things through why as I am not allowed to disclose anything yet. James P.S. the two txids above are confirmed |

James P.S. the two txids above are confirmed Just a guess, but I'd say this move is designed to add a SuperNET engine to NXTventures , and BTCD thrusters to SuperNET. The Saturn V made it to the moon using 5 equally powerful J-2 engines. If one of those engines was stronger/weaker the rocket would have flown off course and crashed. The engines need to be balanced to make it to the moon, and so it is with SuperNET, NXTventure & BTCD. A good move to keep the engines balanced! |

I don't think James has the time to fud around. People really don't realize how much time he puts in this project. |

I don't think James has the time to fud around. People really don't realize how much time he puts in this project. I don't think HONCHO was fudding. What is *possible* is jl777 and anonymint/TPTB were privately discussing some form of collaboration, and 'HONCHO' was a shared dev account. The later posts sound like TPTB (and went off the rails), but the earlier posts *might* have been made by jl777. anonymint is obviously a very talented guy, but very eccentric too, so I'm speculating that jl777 was planning a joint venture in good faith, and then TPTB blew it off course when he took over posting from the HONCHO forum account, so jl777 decided against the collaboration. That's possible. The post below sounds like it could be jl777, and so to do 4-5 of the other earlier HONCHO posts. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1475902.msg14878508#msg14878508HONCHO locked that thread, so it looks like the project has been shelved at least for now. Honestly, after jl777's experiences with bluemeanie it's not surprising he might have had second thoughts on working with someone as odd as anonymint, despite how brilliant he may well be. The original thread was derailed by trolling and it is difficult to determine who is interested or disinterested and why.
I am providing this thread for those who want to discuss the coins.

Feeling let down? Maybe you were just working too hard.
I am HONCHO, the person whom was referred to in the prior message written by AnonyMint. I am not AnonyMint.
No there is no let down. AnonyMint did not communicate clearly the unique selling point of the coin I am going to create with AnonyMint's technology. I understand he wrote that he had been awake for 18 hours. He contacted me on chat yesterday after writing the aforementioned message; and I urged him to sleep and let me handle this.
I have urged AnonyMint to stop communicating on this forum and let me handle the marketing to the speculation markets. I want AnonyMint to focus on his core competencies, which include technology, programming, speaking to small focused groups with his incisive insights, and marketing to the masses. He has successfully done the bolded several times in his career and my money is betting he can do it again. It is my strong sense that AnonyMint is not in his best element when confronted with communication to large groups of speculators.
I am an angel investor of AnonyMint. I want to inform you that AnonyMint has communicated to me today that he is permanently banned from this forum and thus will not be speaking to you anymore on this forum. Also I am not wanting to facilitate a way for him to communicate to speculators at this time, because I need for him to focus on work and not be distracted. At the appropriate future juncture, I will facilitate a forum where you can ask him questions directly.
AnonyMint failed to communicate to you the main reason I want to create a coin with AnonyMint's newly discovered technology. What excited me so much is that this discovery makes decentralized exchange much more realistic and not prone to jamming. I will be explaining more about this to you.
For the moment, I want to summarize that the coin I want to create will be a reserve currency for those who want to trade to various crypto-currencies. It will have superior anonymity and decentralized exchange, thus enabling speculators to use it as their holding asset in between speculations. It will hopefully eliminate centralized exchanges. My planned coin serving double-duty as the exclusive pathway to obtaining the future JAMBOX crypto-currency cheaply at its future launch is the icing on the cake.
I am also protecting my investment in AnonyMint, in planning to raise more funds for his JAMBOX project so he can accelerate development. Note I will not be receiving any JAMBOX coins in any form of premine. I will obtain them via the decentralized exchange. I will however receive shares in the JAMBOX corporation.
Is any of this relevant to SuperNET? Who knows, but if a 'stable' anonymint was working with James I think it would be awesome, so I say yes. |

Silence is deafening ... I think something went down between jl777 & TPTB, but what?? |
