I don't know why the thread moderator marked my previous message as "unwanted" and canceled it. I was just unhappy about the latest days trend and since I'm owner of 200 000 XVG (that are not so many I know, but they are, anyway, money) if I write something like "today is falling down /cry" it's just my concern and I, like everybody of you, will be happy when this coin strike down the book and reaches a good value.

about XVG price and speculation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1366103.0

We got people speculating on price here, and talking about mining in the speculation thread lol

I finally had a chance to play with the new Tor Android wallet. It worked awesomely with super fast transactions; i saw my deposits in the wallet in a matter of seconds. Excellent job Dev team!

The only problem i had was with Orbot. The copy of Orbot i downloaded from the Google play store just wouldn't work and so of course i did a bunch of unnecessary trouble shooting to fix it but it still wouldn't work.

The Tor website recommended downloading Orbot from f-droid.org Guardian repository instead. So i did that and now Orbot loads up perfectly and integrates seamlessly with the Verge TorDroid wallet (after selecting apps VPN mode in Orbot).

So i suggest to anyone else having issues getting Orbot running on their android device to go to f-droid.org and download their app and then download Orbot from their Guardian repo.

I like how people are quick to bury good news, but this app is incredible.

No other crypto is bringing anything to the table like Sunerok and team; and a lot of other coins are getting severely butt hurt by Verge's growing popularity and game changing releases.

I agree. I am holding since 7 sat. Only tried to sell a small chunk once, regreted it immediately and decided do HODL until.. until.. you know. yachts etc Smiley.

Nevertheless i believe we should discuss this in the price speculation topic, since this topic is more for technical issues and marketing.

correct.

right now, we're considering started a crowdfund to get custom verge ledger nano s's. it's just an idea.

(it costs 49k eur/56k usd for 1000 units, which we could then sell in our shop for xvg/btc)

of course, donators to the crowdfund that pledge x amount, would get one for that.

also, the donations for the coinmarketcap ad campaign stop tmrw!

if anyone would like to contribute, you can use either of these addresses:

btc: 142r3vCAH3AzABiQjFPmcrSCp6TDzEDuB1

xvg: DDd1pVWr8PPAw1z7DRwoUW6maWh5SsnCcp

so far we've raised a decent amount, and 100% of it will be going to the ad campaign. (a banner ad at the top of the page)
What is a ledger nano?

It's a hardware wallet, Vercingetorix https://www.ledgerwallet.com/

I think it's a good idea and will send a pledge for one when the crowdfund begins.

Is there a recent bootstrap availale for syncing a new wallet just installed?

And also a list of ad-nodes as the wallet is not able to catch connexions

thanks

it is mentioned several times in this thread: bootstrap: vergecurrency.de

ad-nodes is not needed or read thread please and find it yourself

thanks

sorry, but after a few pages, you give up finding the info by yourself.

the easier for you would be to have it in the OP.

If not, no other choice than repeating time and time again ;-)

We cannot go back to weeks of messages to find that kind of info which can anyway be outdated ;-)

Haha you wouldn't have to go back weeks, like maybe two pages.

Can somebody add the bootstrap link and ad nodes to the OP, so VergeDEV doesn't go nuts from the same question being asked over and over again?  Cheesy

Hi Dev,

Hope you  will find some time to address this , still curious to see your thoughts.



Hey Sunerok,

would  like to see your view&Verge community on this:

I just realized that loopback - dummy IPs -  on the user side, but public ledger  can be integrated so smoothly  in the IOT / connected vehicles/ smart city echo system.

they are  estimating billions of  things connected  by 2020 and blockchain will be used as  backbone instead of deploying  centralized nodes around the end users.

now the thing is that corporations are already starting to  build private blockchains to accommodate this. Basically  a virtual currency will be used to pay inside those chains. there are a lot examples on this if we search.

Do you find feasible to try to tackle the IOT market?

this could be huge.

indeed, public ledger needs to exist .

As  for security, if you cannot see within verge blockchain the real IP s of the users, maybe verge can be considered an alternative to the private chains.

I think that selling the dummy Ip s/public ledger idea for IOT is easier that those for person privacy.

Some people can consider that privacy is not that important and also that those that think too much of this  are going into the conspiracy theory zone.

Which is not true, why not keeping it invisible but legal (because of the public ledger) if it`s possible, but it is what it is and  this thinking might block easy adoption.

Thus this idea with IOT which  screams end user security/privacy.

PS: verge can go for combined "human" and "things privacy"  , not sure about the branding/ specialization aspect  in respect with the market info overflow.
this can be further on discussed.

cheers


im not so sure i understand. are you suggesting we run verge's blockchain through the internet of things? if so, it's not really a great idea. no one is going to want to install verge on their washing machine/dishwasher/thermostat/etc. as it stands right now, the internet of things is not very secure and is often exploited to perform attacks. (see here: http://www.npr.org/2016/10/22/498954197/internet-outage-update-internet-of-things-hacking-attack-led-to-outage-of-popula) also, most devices on the iot do not have an option to install additional software. please clarify what you are explaining.


I think i was able to decipher what he was asking....

....or maybe not...

but to me i could see Verge as the backbone for a lot of "Internet of Things" transactions because of the coin supply, open ledger, and anonymity.
Once Verge implements smart contracts, IOT transactions with Verge will be possible.

I was also pondering the idea of Verge's blockchain being used in the autodriving infrastructure, Tesla, Inc. is developing. Elon Musk would be wise to break from the pack and create an ICO through the Verge network (so would a lot of businesses). For autocars he would want the information flow to be on the darknet so as not to allow hackers to identify any single person's vehicle for attack.

Just throwing it out there, knowing you VergeDEV though, you've already got something up your sleeve in this regard.
But one thing at a time right?

Loving all the development at XVG!

This VentureBeat article helped me understand IOT and blockchain alot better:

Do you guys think $xrp's move to reach bitcoins market cap opens up the market for any of the top slots amongst every ranked currency? We know it's too much growth at once, it's wild that it doesn't stop, but my interest is... could the limits of billions be broken soon and hit the trillions as a mass migration ensues the likes of which no one in existence has ever witnessed before? (Aside from whatever currencies do end up on top)

It certainly bodes well for XVG.

Segwit on XVG would be a transparent move to pump the coin. If it ever got even close to the blocks needing the extra space it would be worth considering but I think for now it makes more sense to focus on what XVG needs and not what the current crypto trend is.

Interesting article, describes why anonymity will get more and more important for cryptocoins this year:

https://medium.com/santiment/transformation-in-crypto-the-start-of-year-2017-5ca108fb772b

Promising times may be ahead for VERGE. IF we're ready for that. For now there seem to be some loose ends here and there. Remember you don't have to do this alone dev. Just ask the community to work together. We can do this.

yeah, mkinney just helped me get the mac build for travis-ci back on track on github. also i just realized the new QT version will let me put the radio into the windows wallets finally, so since we're launching a new stand alone radio station, im going to set it up in the new wallet, but also give it its own repository (https://github.com/justinvforvendetta/radiocrypto-qt) so anyone can add it to their wallet/qt application. lots of good things coming for verge. a new round of special android wallets coming too, and the next win wallets will have some improvements other than just the radio stream.

ps: stay crunchy.

Dude, Dogedarkdev, you're the man bro.

Thanks also to mkinney, and BuZz, and all the other leet devs that help and have helped with this remarkable project. I think someone else is out there too doing a nice job behind the scenes marketing and generating the recent volume..

You also mentioned coin mixing in the i2p. It's a great idea. It gives the coin mixing fans what they want while maintaining VERGE's true anon i2p obfuscation, making it that much stronger, and blowing away all other anonymous blockchains (is it safe to call them pseudo-anonymous now?). Is i2p mixing something you might start working on next after these upcoming releases?

I know you don't like to boast dev but it's true so i'll say it for you: VERGE is better than bitcoin or any other crypto, i don't give a fuck. All the whales and the sharks are starting to realize it.



Recently sent some love to the dev donation address ( DQU7qrJq7ExDQZ2oBseYgDBHD92dXdxCU2 )
i'll send some more when i can, and to the verge game faucet when you get that back online.

Looking forward to the new releases!

Keep up the fantastic work!

Hello QuasiKurdo,
First you said Dev pumping up xvg price by manipulation, then you said why xvg price is low..... to be honest your posts is little bit confusing me , you want xvg price to be high or want it back to 1sat.
99% of altcoins got pumped by their Devs (insider poloniex/bittrex pump and everyone in crypto sphere know this fact) , Dash 0.012 ---> +0.10BTC in one week , Monero 0.0025---> +0.02BTC , ETH 0.008---> +0.04BTC.
So as advice if xvg stress you that much , sell all your coins and move to new altcoin like I myself did with lot of altcoins.

Omg you see it. First the pump and after this weekend the volume and the price going down.... sorry the DEV manipulate this to show the people that this coin have a big pump


Oh lord, how many times i wrote this in the thread and the Dev delete my posts. He/She/it delete all my posts after i asking why the price is low..

I see you met one of our resident FUD trolls Quasimoto

I've been a long in XVG since its first days as DogecoinDark, mining it when it was just a glimmer in the eye of Dev and only minable on a few different scrypt sites. I came across DogecoinDark when it was an infant on Suchpool.

DogecoinDark rebranded to VERGE and took on a brave evolution last year going multi-algo after being the target of a legit 51% scrypt attack based out of China. Dev took swift action against the attacker by implementing multi-algo. DogeDarkDev rallied a team-effort by many devs actually to act so quickly. However, it did create a supply glut crashing price now that 5 different algos could mine it.

I held my long position through last years pump and crash and intend to continue to hold a substantial long position in this great coin for years to come.

Look at it as a POW ICO, you get to mine and buy at fair market value until supply eventually dries up... (nudges Dev to then implement POS Cheesy )
but at the current mining rate the need to POS won't become necessary until 5 years from now.

And about the supply amount, how is 12.8 Billion a lot when these people alone have way more than that in USD?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_Forbes_400

From such small beginnings we are at the point where people are demanding why this coin isn't a multi-million market cap?? Not bad Wink

Dev has a real life and is a real person with a family and he does private projects as well as work on this coin. Give him space, he's done a damn good job thus far.
