[KOBO] Kobocoin - Mobile Money for Africa

[dleader]

Hi Tribesman,
  Do we have an update re: bitsoko project?  Kobo has been moving lately with consistent buyups.  

Yup bitcoin is about to go parabolic. I'm anticipating 2k per btc in under a month.

Along with this comes tons of press. Once the bubble bursts the capitol flows into other alts. If Kobo is on ppls radar then it will benifit from the new $$ that will be searching for new investments.

If you have anything planned now is definitly the time!

Happy btc halving everyone:)

I'm holding tons of Kobo! I think it's a great investment Tribesman works really hard, with Africa's fintech movement it will take off very soon.

so many words, yet i can't figure out how it stakes,
dev, please explain is it normal for this coin to produce such tiny stakes:

Apologies for the delay. According to the explorer that address has received 1.2% from minting:

Have you been moving the coins around? The wallet can only stake when it is online and unlocked (thereby helping the network). If it's a normal use PC being switched on and off and occasionally staking, then the rewards will not be as great as a machine left online and unlocked 24x7.

Have a look at this tutorial
http://cryptorials.io/manual-coin-control-how-to-stake-more-with-neucoin-qt-wallet/

I have a wallet that hasn't been unlocked since last year so it won't have received even close to 1.2%, more like 0%

I'm not sure this helps your issue. PoS rewards aren't as straightforward as it might first seem.

forget 1.2%, coins were moved to and fro many times.
you mean kobo tx weight is not growing at all when wallet is locked/offline ?

The weight is growing when offline but how long would you say the wallet has been online and actively staking?

Some good news is that I've found someone to build to bitcore-lib JS libs. I'm hoping this will be done by the end of next week and then the libs can be delivered to bitsoko. I know it's been long but we are getting there. The same dev might also be able to look at our electrum server which is running but also having issues. Electrum doesn't run at it's best on a vps.

Hi Tribesman, do you have a plan to get ppl on the ground to start using kobo or are you hoping it takes off from bitcoin related excitement?

[TheTribesman]

QUICK UPDATE

Guys I will get to your questions, but I have been working on getting this completed and tested for a few days.

Good news, we now have a working Javascript library. Private keys and addresses are now being produced so can be generated offline by any platform or organization that wants to integrate Kobocoin (see red box in screenshot).



I've contacted Bitsoko. We'll see how it goes.

I'm off to bed now. I'm wrecked. I will provide an update and answer questions another time.

What I will point out is that it is collaborations with organizations like Bitsoko that will raise our profile. Hopefully Bitsoko is the first of many collaborations that will take Kobocoin deeper into the market. I am not simply waiting for bitcoin excitement to drag kobo along. Without things like JS libs we cannot offer our services to other blockchain organizations. Now we have the js lib we can.

The not so funny thing in this case is that it's actually my own code that's working and producing the private keys and addresses. Some troubleshooting sorted it out.

Tribesman I'd like to buy you a pint someday, good work sir.

[opticoin]

Thank you for your hard work on making Kobo coin successful  Tribesman! .. I have not sold my core holdings but alloted a small portion for trading to make it liquid and active on Yobit

[m4nki]

Yes, thanks for the update! Good to see how Kobocoin is progressing!

[bandofgypsys]

Lol two buys totaling over 2 btc on coinexchange at 2900 and over... could have bought twice as much for half on yobit. Hmmm, probably manipulation but jeez that's some expensive positioning.

[TheTribesman]

I've been in contact with Bitsoko but it looks like they're experiencing some major issues (sustained DDOS attack) so we have to wait till they've resolved them. I've also been interviewed by one of the major crypto news sites. I'll post a link to the article once it comes out. Things are slow right now. I've been watching the exchanges and market cap with interest. Yes, there's manipulation going on there but at least something's going on on the markets.

KOBO is on the new list as it was on the old list.

Would be nice to have a formal KOBO rep stop by the TALK ever so often to keep us up-to-date

But we will require a person of knowledge and standing to provide formal nomination and periodic communication in order to remain listed.
