This might be one to look out for. A question to OP though, how exactly will this differ to traditional auctions like ebay to give items at lower prices while benefiting the seller and platform?
 I think ive misunderstood something...

Pos 3.0 brings incitement for people to operate online nodes and be active in the staking process.

before 3.0: The best strategy was then to keep your node offline and then only bring it online rarely to get a huge stake payout. People with not many coins got a small stakes while people with lots of coins got large stakes.

after 3.0: You need to run an always online node if you want to get your 1% interest. People with not so many coins will get a much higher stake reward relative to people who have a lot of coins. If you have a lot of coins and stake all the time you will be granted your 1% interest. If you have a lot of coins and do not stake you will be granted 0% interest. If you have not that many coins and stake all the time you will be granted more than 1% especially in situations when not all issued coins participate in the stake process.

Moar details plz

Right on, still WTB, anyone else got some spare?

Send offers in PM

Good to see this! Thanks

Well you guys have to understand that even as times move on, bitcoin will also evolve. Im looking forward to new use cases. The bitcoin team are always testing out new protocols.

New era of currency maybe not, but Blockchain perhaps yes.

Thanks. It's not a sure thing yet by any means. Just that it is taking up a lot of my time currently and would hate to see the blog start to decline. If I don't find a worthy buyer, I will keep up with it until I have more time and resources to dedicate to it. It is, after all, a pretty decent source of secondary income. Not to mention, I get to discuss what I am passionate about.

I'm just currently evaluating my options and if something worthwhile comes around, I may have a look.

I should also mention that I will be fielding offers for about a week to see what is available. The sale of the site is at my discretion, and even if I get a worthy offer, I still may decide not to sell. Like I said, I'm just evaluating options and seeing if there's a market at this point.

Greetings all,


I have decided to start fielding offers for my established Crypto Blog. If you are a crypto enthusiast and have always wanted to run a blog or if you are a business looking to expand into the Crypto news world, this may be your chance.

CryptoSource.org is a crypto news blog that strives to offer up to date information and news on all crypto-currencies. It offers information on mining and trading as well as a beginners guide to Crypto.

We also offer a Bitcoin business directory.

Revenue

**Prices are in USD

CryptoSource currently earns its revenue from advertising contracts, Adsense and affiliate marketing.

As an example, CryptoSource currently brings in about 30-40 Coinbase referrals/month. Earns approx. $200/month from CAVirtex and another $200/month from Localbitcoins (all affiliate marketing)

Advertising contracts can bring in anywhere from $200-$500/month depending on how you fill your spots.

Our highest revenue month was over $3000 and we average at around $1000/month.

(We cannot promise these numbers, These figures depend on hard work and maintaining business relationships, as well as keeping the site updated on a daily basis).

With a little bit of TLC and SEO work, these numbers could potentially grow much higher.


What you get

I will transfer the domain as well as site content over to a host/registrar of your choice. I will do the initial setup and ensure the site is running smoothly. I will also offer 30 days support for any issues or questions you have with the site.

OR, you can keep the domain and do with it as you wish. Your call.


Why am I selling?

RL issues and overall lack of time has simply made it difficult for me to keep up with the news, writing articles, SEO work and general maintenance. I still am a big crypto enthusiast and I disappointed in myself that it has come to the possibility of letting my site go. However, I would hate to see the blog decline and would love to see it thrive in the hands of someone with a vision and time to maintain it properly.


How to make an offer

I will be accepting offers and answering questions via PM or this thread.

Just to give you an idea CryptoSource.org is currently valued at just over $49,000 USD from netvaluator.com. http://www.netvaluator.com/www/cryptosource.org

While, I am not expecting to sell for $50k, I am also not willing to give the site away. I am simply fielding offers to see what the possibilities are and make a decision for what is best for me at this point in time.

Any offers below 10 BTC will be ignored.

Thanks for reading.

Awesome new design! I have a feeling things will turn positive really soon for the Digitalcoin community

Dev getting hacked is a personal issue and has nothing to do with the exchange.

Exchange did not get hacked... it was an ATTEMPT to hack. My account was one of the compromised ones and I lost NO COINS.

It was shut down as a precautionary measure. NO coins were lost.

NO COINS LOST for compromised accounts = NOT A SUCCESSFUL HACK = NON ISSUE.

It doesn't matter what was or was not given up as far as information goes. At the end of the day, no customer coins were lost... so who the fuck cares?

I'm not sure why 3 pages have gone by and no one has acknowledged this post.

MY ACCOUNT WAS ONE OF THE COMPROMISED ACCOUNTS AND I LOST NO COINS!

So what's the problem? Why is anyone even being questioned here? This is a NON ISSUE.

The only person with lost coins here is Baritus himself... and even if he chose to sell his own coins... that's his right. They are his to do with as he pleases.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about here.

My account was one of the "Compromised" accounts on CryptoAve.

I received a notice that someone had tried to reset my password. Upon receiving this message, naturally, I freaked out and immediately tried to access my CryptoAve account.

I was still able to log in, my coins were safe. I changed my passwords for CryptoAve as well as my email to be safe.

CryptoAve shut down, I made a request to withdraw my coins and I have received my coins.

So, if my account was compromised and my coins were lost, why are they now safely in my wallets in cold storage?

This is a non issue.

Baritus had some personal coins stolen, which is nobody's business. In retrospect, he should have just kept his mouth shut and avoid all this. If he would have done this, then people would only be speculating on why so many coins would have been dumped on March 8th. He tried to be honest with everyone and ended up being accused of everything under the sun.

Sucks for him, sucks for CryptoAve.

The good news is, all this bad press is allowing me to pick up some really cheap DGC

I believe these coins are very interesting simply because they are established and have very active communities. The developers also seem to be on the ball and are always willing to further the cause for their coins. I will try to address the 3 questions as best I can and I will also send a message to baritus, defaced and Giskard to elaborate on them as they will likely be able to answer the questions better than I can.

Digitalcoin:
Q1: Inflation: Much like the Bitcoin/Litecoin model there will be a total of 144.5 Million coins. Rewards started at 20, then down to 15 and they will half every 3 years until the hard cap is reached. 40 second blocks with 15 DGC reward and a difficulty retarget every 108 blocks.

Q2: Development: This is what sets DGC apart from the rest. I would say that apart from BTC and LTC, Digitalcoin has the most active development out of any other alt coin out there. They are the first alt to have a working lightweight java client (similar to electrum) where you do not need to download the entire blockchain. This client will also directly integrate with coinmart (a brand new marketplace website). http://blockr.io offers a full set of tools to explore the digitalcoin block chain. It visualizes the transaction data, mining information, and price trends to provide useful charts and data aggregates that update live. You also have access to an extensive API. The CryptoAve exchange is in it's final stages of beta with public released scheduled this week. This exchange will allow for users to trade DGC/SRC/ARG/PPC/BTC/LTC directly to USD. An option that not many coins can have. CryptoAve will also feature a payment processor so merchants can easily accept Digitalcoin. They also an android app and multiple services and places to spend DGC. So right off the bat, it is set apart from a standard pump and dump coin that only has a wallet and is listed on an exchange.

Q3: Decentralization: It is a scrypt coin. However, Digitalcoin has also never been 51% attacked in the 8.5 months since release. This is a stat that only a select few coins can claim. Digitalcoin also uses random checkpoint blocks to ensure the validity of the blockchain (Baritus can elaborate on this).


Securecoin:
Q1: Inflation: Securecoin is a CPU only coin (much like Quark). However with a similar distribution model as Bitcoin and a fair launch. 1 minute blocks with 5 SRC rewards. Rewards half every 2.1 million blocks until the maxium of 21 million SRC are minted. It is also feature on multiple exchanges including btc38.

Q2: Development: SRC is part of the Digitalcoin family so all developments that is being done for Digitalcoin will surely be implemented to SRC shortly after. It will be a part of the CryptoAve service mentioned above, meaning conversion to fiat and payment processor.

Q3: Decentralization: Uses 6 algorithms to secure the blockchain (Grøstl, Skein, BLAKE, BLUE MIDNIGHT WISH, JH, SHA-3). Meaning you cannot currently mine with with your standard GPU, ASIC. It is strictly a CPU coin.



Franko:
Q1: Inflation: Rare coin with 0.25 block rewards occuring every 30 seconds. Block rewards half every 2.25 million blocks until a total of 11.2 million coins are minted. The kimoto gravity well has just been implemented to address difficulty adjustment.

Q2: Development: Franko has one of the most dedicated developers out there behind the coin (defaced). He is constantly promoting his coins growth and acceptance and is heavily involved with almost everything crypto related. His coin is actually supported by a few local businesses in his area. The coin is supported by multiple online merchants and gaming sites as well as local pawn shops in Atlanta. I am very impressed with development and community efforts for this coin. They also have nifty tools such as an Android wallet.

Q3: Decentralization: Scrypt Algorithm using kimoto gravity well to adjust difficulty dynamically to help secure the network and prevent abuse.


Zetacoin:
Q1: Inflation: SHA-256 coin with 30 second blocks with difficulty retargetting every 4 blocks based on the last 90 blocks. Block rewards are 1000 ZET halving every month and not dropping below 1 ZET/block. The system is inflationary, meaning that once the rewards go down to 1 ZET, they will be 1 ZET forever. So after 1 year 160 million will be mined with approx 1 million new ZET being minted every year thereafter. I'd also like to point out that at the current value, ZET has a very low daily maintenance cost for approx $250/day.

Q2: Development: Zeta also seems to have a rather active development team. They have an Android wallet and an exchange in the works. They also have the support of the NOBS community. They are currently in an acceptance phase with many merchants coming on board and starting to accept Zeta.

Q3: Decentralization: SHA-256 algorithm so would follow the same as Bitcoin I would imaging.



I'd also like to point out that none of these coins had any form of premine or instamining upon launch. They were all fair launches as far as I can tell.

Getting lots of people trying to game this giveaway signing up with multiple accounts fitting the criteria.

Keep it honest people. Everyone is entitled to 1 giveaway. If I catch you using multiple accounts, you will not be paid for ANY of your entries.

CryptoAve is back up this morning.

There are just over 100 spots left for this giveaway.

Just added a rule that you must be a member for more than 15 days. I got a lot of brand new accounts trying to get in on this and I'm suspecting they are multiple sign ups.
