Re: [KOBO] Kobocoin - An African peer to peer payment/micropayment system
UPDATE:
Golix Exchange Listing Now Live.
I've just logged into https://golix.com and can confirm that the following exchange listings are now live:
KOBO/BTC
KOBO/ETH
KOBO/ZAR (South African Rand)
ZAR (South African Rand) was chosen as the initial fiat market as it is Golix's largest market.
I tested a deposit using the Coinomi mobile wallet. It took about the time it took me to refresh the Golix wallet page for the unconfirmed transaction to show up. Very impressive (but yeah, we have negligible transactions - still nice to see it's working, and working fast!).
With Crytptopia's problems I think we can all be very thankful that the new Golix listings are now live. That's also very good news on the KOBO blockchain not being compromised by the Cryptopia hack. They were probably after BTC and ETH. Hopefully Cryptopia will be back early Feb, as expected, with all our KOBO wallets intact.
I'm still in the process of trying to get the code update started. It is not a trivial process and can't be done by just anyone so please bear with me. Once completed, the Kobocoin blockchain will then follow core Bitcoin development with all core Bitcoin updates being applied to Kobocoin. It makes things a lot more efficient. If a time comes where bespoke additions need to be added to the blockchain, then I'll first look into how a sidechain can be utilised before considering moving Kobocoin away from core Bitcoin development. I think their development team is better than my team!
I've also uploaded the dev site to live - https://kobocoin.com/. There's still a lot to do, but getting it out there allows me to see where it needs to be improved and updated. ...and the old site was looking a bit too old! - https://kobocoin.com/oldsite.html
These Golix listings are definitely a step in the right direction, and just at the right time! I hope you guys enjoy the new service.
TT
p.s. if you can't see the qr code or kobo address on the wallet deposit page then please refresh the page. There is a Feb update that will resolve this issue. (if you experience it).
