Bullion (CBX) 'the Digital Precious Metal' | 2019 Roadmap published

[elambert]

long story short: if I have an offline stored CGB still on a finite designs physical CGB coin, and I have not been following this coin for a long time now since last year...

... Did I fuck up sopmewhere by not converting something to a new chain and lost all my coins already?

Hey Bittick! Nice to see you, been a while. Hope all is well with you.

No worries, you are fine. No conversion necessary, chain is the same, just name and branding have changed.

Wow, great to see the community coming together to support development.

Is that a long term trend reversal I see on the charts? sure looks like one

CBX has always had a sound fundamental base; price had gone down due to thin trading and lack of interest for all cryptos in general. The new increased price we see today is a reflection of the potential of our new approach towards CBX. Crypto-currencies will consolidate, and many frivolous coins' entire blockchains will disappear without backup pretty soon; while other coins will thrive - yes, we are here for the long term!

We attack two fronts: awareness and usefulness... an approach we feel will turn CBX into one of the main cryptos very soon!

[FiniteByDesign]

Yes, a very nice trend developing the last few weeks and volume is growing  

[elambert]

Good news first:
We have established contact with Bter and managed to get them to change CBX's name on their voting page in accordance with the official renaming so you can now vote for Crypto Bullion (CBX) as apposed to voting for the old name (Cryptogenic Bullion - CGB).

Not so good news:
Bter inexplicably made the decision to remove all votes that had been accumulated.

I have made a post in their thread here at Bitcointalk and will reach out through other means of communication as well with the hope of getting them to return the votes. Assistance from the community is greatly appreciated in this endeavor.

Here is the link to my note left for them on their thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=280806.msg11691182#msg11691182

Hello Bter,

Thank you for your assistance in renaming Cryptogenic Bullion (CGB) to Crypto Bullion (CBX) on your voting page in accordance with the coins renaming - this is appreciated.

However, it does not seem fair that the 2,400+ votes the this coin had already fairly received have been cleared out and the coin is now forced to start again from zero votes. The votes were all fairly earned through your BTR based voting system and in accordance with your rules so it feels wrong to have them taken away.

We are encouraging the Crypto Bullion community to start using Bter and to assist with getting CBX added but do not want the community to feel as if they will be treated unfairly over at Bter.

Can you please reconsider this decision and add back the earned votes?

Sincerely,
Chris 'elambert'

This just arrived! Much quicker than I had expected. Thank you Finite by Design! Very cool, and thank you so much for the T aswell.

I've been hankering after one of these for a long time now (also the crypto T-shirt) so great excuse to finally get one.

That the dance of the files takes place at the CBX wallet?

in any normal POS wallet I had not met such things.
It threatens the strong wear the hard drive, if the wallet to be run mining in 24 hours.

Hi shveicar. Yes, disk load is something we are looking at improving. During initial sync of the blockchain, the wallet/daemon does access the drive a lot. I expect we can allocate more memory to the database engine which should reduce the problem considerably. I will post here when I have looked into the problem some more and devised a solution.

In relation to the screenshot you posted, the large number of file handles is due to the way the LevelDB database engine works. We can limit the number of open files but it will likely reduce performance. Are you having problems other than lots of disk access?

Thanks,

raizor

It is good that you are aware of this problem. I just decided to check  CBX wallet.

Community Action Opportunity:

If you are a member of the CryptoBullion family/community and want to help, here is an opportunity where every individual can make an impact.

As we have outlined previously, the Chinese market has been targeted as an important area for CBX to gain entry. We have made strides with this objective by bringing on a team member that is based in China to assist with communication barriers and guidance and have had the front page of the website translated for starters.

We will start a thread to establish a presence on the primary cryptocurrency forum used by the Chinese (8BTC) and are actively searching out paid advertising opportunities. Additional to this, of course listing on Chinese trading platforms is necessary. One of the major players is Bter.

CryptoBullion was listed on the voting page of Bter under our old name (Cryptogenic Bullion) which had accumulated over 2400 votes. We had Bter change to our new name and symbol to avoid confusion, however, in the process they decided to remove the already accumulated votes. What we would like from the community is 2 fold: 1. contact Bter and ask them to return the previously earned votes to CBX and 2. start casting votes for CBX to be added.

Your contribution to either or both of these tasks will be very helpful. Remember, the hardest part is building up the momentum for change and that is what is in front of us. So if you have a couple of minutes, please help out.

Below is a brief outline of the steps I have taken so far - feel free to use these or other ideas you have to achieve the same goals. Please be mindful to be respectful in your communications.

Regarding Bter voting issue:
* PM sent to owner of Bter thread (freeworm)
* post in Bter Bitcointalk thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=280806.msg11691182#msg11691182
* ticket submitted at Bter (#18318)
* sent email to Bter support (support@mail.bter.com) - copy below
* registered to start trading at Bter to get involved with voting process

Bter requires an account that has actively traded approx 0.2 BTC before they will allow you to vote.

I'm making some transfers as we speak so hopefully it won't be too long before I am able to vote (not sure what trades I will like yet).

Bter looks like a pretty good exchange, I hope they return our old votes and we can get a foothold there.

BTC38 looks like a good one also, the Digitalcoin volume there recently has been huge, much higher than on Cryptsy.

Thanks for looking into Bter and providing feedback info. I have not had the opportunity to start trading there yet but working on it as well. No response as of yet to my numerous inquiries requesting the return of our earned votes but hopefully if we stay persistent, they will give in (or at least respond lol).

I did reach out to BTC38 personally and they said they would have a look at Crypto Bullion, fwiw. Jubi is another exchange that Jimmy has contacted regarding CBX...

I think we will make the most headway with pressuring Chinese exchanges as we get our thread launched on 8BTC and spread some info on CBX - also planning some giveaways over there to get people downloading and trying out the Vault.

Getting the ball rolling with our present community is certainly the starting point though.

[FiniteByDesign]

Over $200k market cap, is the Bullion back???

[lab rat hoax]

at this rate, it won't be long

1 CBX = 1 troy ounce of gold
