Re: BCT Admins plz give us these 3 users(altcoin scammers) dat
If you want IPs, get a legal request for information, such as a court order. It's best to have a "chain of custody" so to speak when it comes to things like this. If we handed out IPs to any random who asked, and violence of some sort ended up happening, then we would be on the hook if we couldn't show a paper trail of who requested the information. If you are on the up and up and don't plan on doing anything illegal, then there shouldn't be any problems with this. Court orders (which, again, are just a legal request for information) are standard when requesting information from third parties.
Thanks for the response BadBear, would you be able to tell us if the accounts in question have overlapping log ins from the same IP? That would answer the question without disclosing any information that could cause you legal or ethical problems. There is a considerable amount of BTC riding on this decision, any help you can render would be greatly appreciated.
R.
Yes they do, though they are shared with many accounts, so it's likely either an unknown proxy/vpn or bought accounts.
I have been using VPN service for a while now, atm I am using purevpn.com. I have no clue who that usecoin dev is and when and how our IPs overlapped.
Re: ☷[ANN]☷BITTREX ICO☷ CLSTR ☷ ClusterCoin ☷ the Future of Money ☷ SOLD OUT!
Since FUD is out of hand I've been receiving lots of private messages demading to lock this thread and start a new self moderated one. We decided to create a poll regarding this matter it the poll was consistently showing that the majority of people agree this thread must be locked and a new self moderated thread should be created in order to filter unjustified FUD
So I am loking this thread
New ClusterCoin ANN thread can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=753089
From now on flood and FUD are not allowed. We always welcome constructive criticism tho, so any thoughts regarding the ClusterCoin Project are allowed but in a polite and constructive manner
Thank you

 | ICO Progress: SOLD OUT  ICO coins has been sold out! Our team thanks everyone who invested in ClusterCoin Project! 08/17/2014 Number of ICO coins is reduced according to investors demand from 7,000,000 down to 3,500,000 (rest was destroyed by Bittrex) |
 | I am glad to announce that fairglu agreed to set up a block explorer for ClusterCoin Block Explorer: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/clstr/ Please note that it is now up to Bittrex to get rid of remaining 3,500,000 CLSTR that were supposed to be destroyed during the ICO Quote from: fairglu Note that the ICO coins are still 7 millions as far as the blockchain goes, once bittrex actually performs the destruction, let me know the burn address and/or transaction and I'll tag it and adjust the outstanding coin count. You may want to get that clear before (or when) publicizing the explorer link! |
 | In order to fund the development of ClusterCoin we decided to organize the Initial Coin Offering. A total of 3,500,000 CLSTR will be sent upon the end of ICO to ICO investors. ICO service hosted by Bittrex  ClusterCoins reserved for ICO: 3,500,000 CLSTR (~9% of total coins) ClusterCoin ICO price: 10,000 satoshi = 0.00010000 BTC ICO success criteria: at least 20% of max amount sold in the ICO, i.e. at least 700,000 CLSTR To achieve these truly ambitious goals that we set in the white paper we would need a considerable amount of funds. Our team consists of 4 experts in C/C++, web development and PR. We love crypto too! However, bitcoin has many shortcomings and we are going to significantly improve it. Anyone will be able to use ClusterCoin in their everyday life as blazing fast, anonymous and secure currency! Message from Bittrex: Bittrex will be hosting the ClusterCoin ICO. As a reminder, we are providing as escrow for the development team. We are not endorsing this coin or any others on our exchange. Please do your own research before trading. Below are the terms of the ICO. * We will review the walet before initially adding it. * We will hold all Premine Coins - 7,000,000 CLSTR * The ICO will run for 7 days starting August 15th, 2014 * If success conditions are met, we will destroy all remaining coins. * If success conditions are NOT met, we will buy back all outstanding coins at the ICO price * Once the ICO is over we will verify there is working wallet and block explorer * We will hold onto the funds in escrow for 3 days - at which time, we will release the funds. * No sales of the coin will be allowed until after the ICO ends * ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS - except if the success criteria isn't met. |

 | In this project we are going to change the fundamental rule of block chain generation and improve block confirmation timing to mere few seconds. The key factor that currently prevents us to do this is a requirement to synchronize block chain between all parts of the network, located all over the world. If blocks will be generated too fast and users will not receive new blocks fast enough we have a huge risk to trigger fork in block chain that will eventually have a devastating effect on the currency and the market. For this project we invented a completely new clustering algorithm that will aggregate all transactions within several geographic clusters in order to minimize transmission time of transactions within certain cluster. each cluster will process transactions independently and then periodically synchronize transactions between geographic clusters. This approach will allow significantly speed up the block chain refresh rate on all nodes of the network, that will allow reduce block generation time and consequently reduce the time of transaction confirmation.  |

 | How do we collect and analyze information about previous transactions and make a split decision? Any coin consists of two types of nodes. Transaction nodes nodes that generate only transactions (common users) and Block nodes nodes that generate blocks and transactions (pools). It is important to mention that not all of the transaction nodes have direct contact with pools much of them only contact pools via other nodes. From the network synchronization perspective latency between a pool and a node becomes critical if we want to reduce the confirmation time, i.e. how fast information reaches from the node that initiates the transaction to the pool and how fast block information travels from the pool back to the node. This information can easily be gathered and used in order to make a decision about requirements of creating additional managed fork. Practically,statistical data of latency time between nodes will be used. It is expected to use all nodes information in the network for this procedure. How a node will choose the appropriate fork to work with? Every node connected to the network will constantly determine effective latency to all fork gateways. The closest gateway will be used to serve this node. For example if you live in the USA and you use your wallet installed on a smartphone your managedfork will be the one of the US forks all transactions (buys/sells) that you generate will be served by this fork. Then at some point you take a flight to China. As soon as you arrive and connect your smartphone to the Internet your wallet automatically detects that now the nearest fork is the one of China forks. While in China all your transactions will be served by the nearest Asian fork. How do I make inter-fork transactions? In between synchronizations each node will receive only blocks that belong to its nearest fork. Therefore, local transaction (i.e. payment in the local store) will be confirmed very fast. Information of the transactions in other forks will be received as soon as next Synchronization block is generated. This is absolutely adequate timing for the international transactions, presuming that amount of such transactions will be relatively low compared to the local transactions. So this means that now everyone will know my location? No. Everyone will know what fork is serving you. We expect that single fork will be able to serve thousands of miles and millions of users. Besides, big brother already knows about you much more than just that. Who will generate synchronization blocks? Synchronization blocks will be generated by pools located all over the world. In order to maintain high speed of block generation those pools will maintain direct connection to each other and coordinate each synchronization block generation. There will be separate reward for these kind of blocks. For synchronization, there is a need to update node network interaction protocol. After this update, all sync-block generator nodes (pools) will automatically connect to each other. How does the network deal with unstable block generation speed in managed artificial forks? It is common knowledge that block generation time is not constant but rather an approximate value. This is why sometimes before generating split block some of the forks will not be fast enough to process through the usual 999 blocks. In this case, a custom algorithm will be used to generate special dummy-blocks that will fill remaining blocks in the blockchain. Will this require rebuilding all mining software? No. All pools will be able to continue using stratum and mpos/nomp. The only difference in pools is that every pool will be now mining only one of the managed forks. Synchronization blocks will be generated by the coin daemon without utilizing the pool software interference. How big will be the changes in BitCoin source? Huge. In order to test and implement such changes we will have to completely rewrite BitCoin core and it will require quite a lot of resources to do that. This is probably one of the most ambitious project in AltCoin history, but we have a clear vision how to make it work. How does the fork life cycle looks like? Clustering algorithm will constantly analyze previous transactions. If at some point it becomes evident, that new geographical cluster is required to serve the network then next split block will contain new managed fork signature with its own unique 64-bit ID. Along with fork ID, split block will receive cluster creation command and GEO information about the new cluster. New fork will start serving its own dedicated GEO cluster as soon as it is created (starting from the next generated block). Splitting transition will be seamless for all users and unnoticeable. How will GEO cluster demarcation lines look like? In modern world, we are literally surrounded by the invisible GEO clusters. We just do not notice them. Easiest example is geographic telephone number that indicates subscribers country, region and city. At the beginning of ClusterCoin implementation clusters borders will be similar to the geographical borders of the continents. Countries usually have relatively similar networks and lower latencies within their borders so first clusters will cover most active countries, or even states. Initially, we believe that the most important part of the clustering algorithm is to cluster large economic hubs that have a lot of financial activity in order to maintain fast transaction confirmation time. Overall, we estimate that common GEO-cluster territory will be comparable to one state. How is the user balance calculated? When you launch your wallet for the first time, your address will be generated and encrypted in wallet.dat just as it is any other crypto-currency. However in the future, your balance will be calculated independently for all managed forks. This means that at the same time your balance may be different for different forks because your transactions are allocated to different forks until the next sync block is generated. If you want to transfer part or all of your balance from one fork to another you would have to initiate the cross-fork transaction and then after the next sync block your coins will be transferred to the fork that is serving you now. In order to keep separate balances across different forks the transaction format will be changed. Every transaction will be marked with additional destination parameter 64-bit fork ID. If the transaction destination fork ID matches the fork ID that is serving you, your transaction will be accounted in the blockchain of the serving fork and therefore balance will be displayed accordingly. If the transaction destination fork ID does not match the serving fork ID your transaction will not be accounted in the blockchain of the serving fork and the only way to transfer balance is by initiating the cross-fork transaction. Given the structure and design of blockchains and transactions, double spending risk is eliminated. As a user do I have to care about all this forks ID`s and stuff in order to get access to my coins? No, you do not. In this white paper, we describe the general idea of ClusterCoin implementation. The software will automatically manage your transactions. Users will not be bothered with any technical aspect of the coin implementation. How does the split algorithm work? We are still actively working on the decision-making algorithm. This is not a trivial task. Splitting forks will be managed by split-blocks that are based on proprietary Proof-Of-Split algorithm. The Proof-Of-Split algorithm will involve the following steps:
How many pools are necessary? In order for split algorithm to function properly node network should be spread out as much as possible. It is necessary to have at least several nodes that will generate new blocks. This should be easily achievable. At the first stage, solo miners will be those nodes that generate new blocks. At the very beginning, there will be a need to have at least couple of dozens of solo miners. Next step will kick in when transaction activity becomes sufficiently large and pools will start to mine on separate forks. How is the block reward calculated? New coin generation rate is a constant value. Block reward will be equal to the generation rate divided by the number of active forks. |

 | We do not prioritize anonymity over speed of transaction, however it is clear that after each synchronization all of the transactions will be automatically mixed. Therefore Inter - Cluster transactions are practically unbreakable. If you are willing to sacrifice transaction confirmation speed to extra anonymity - you may enable "Use Sunc pool as mixing pool option" and send all your, even In-cluster, transactions through Sunc pool. The price is 109 second confirmation time instead of 3 seconds.  |
 | Knowing about recent frauds, we decided to make this coin as transparent as possible and instead of posting Source Code at the last moment before the launch - we decided to use our proprietary launch scheme. We are launching coin with premine in 1st block, and 0 block rewards during the ICO stage. You will have a whole ICO period to inspect the source code and make reasonable decisions about your investments. https://github.com/ClusterCoin/ClusterCoin |

Re: ☷[ANN]☷BITTREX ICO☷ CLSTR ☷ ClusterCoin ☷ the Future of Money ☷ SOLD OUT!
I guess dev is trying to figure out what he will spend the 350 BTC on instead of helping to slow/stop the manipulation of his coin....
What do you suggest? I mean there is not much I can do with FUD at this point. Regarding all the panic and fear - investors are free to do whatever they want with CLSTR - even dump it with 40% loss. Neither me nor Bittrex is involved in trades.
Also It is not very good for dev to comment on trades, so from now on I wont reply to anything related to the trades.
Re: ☷[ANN]☷BITTREX ICO☷ CLSTR ☷ ClusterCoin ☷ the Future of Money ☷ SOLD OUT!
dev, u should change this thread to moderate mode, and delete all the fuds, or FUD will destroy the coin.
Yeah, but I can`t after topic is posted.

In OP, it says Block time: 60 seconds
In whitepaper, Normal Block Generation Time: 1 sec
I am a little confused here, please elaborate.

+2
dev.why ?
I'm not the dev but it seems kinda obvious if you try to read the OP. Initial coin has 60 second block time, but clustercoin devs work on great improvement to the bitcoin aglo so block time may be reduced to 1 second without the fear of forking. No coin has done this before and this is one of the major limitations of cryptocurrencies that stop them to be used in everyday life to buy goods just as you do it using a credit card or fiat money
PS: Dev, you don't need to answer to people who didn't even bother to read the OP and whitepaper. This kind of people are not the investors you need
So the block time will be 1 second sooner or later?
If so, the mined coins per day will be huge.
Anyway, I wanna hear from dev, not this guy who thought he is wiser than others.
yes, one of the goals of ClusterCoin project is to reduce the block time to 1 second
When the block time is reduced to 1 second we will adjust block reward accordingly (3 CLSTR per minute)

from my understaning of your roadmap
no viable product exists right now
what we as investors are doing is providing funding for you to develope your idea
no final product will exist until about NOV 2014
and you will launch to start with just a normal bitcoin clone wallet and no features
things move so fast in this game
by nov 2014 you could have a competitor already working
so for that reason buys i will not be investing
i urge all would be investors to do due diligence

3 second transactions require complete redesigning of bitcoin and I highly doubt anyone will be able to do it sooner then our team that is already working on it full-time. With this amount of funding we are absolutely sure we can dedicate our lives to ClusterCoin development and meet project milestones in time or even earlier.
So, can you show some code developed?
It helps people to understand and invest to this coin.
It's important what your team have ability to develop it.
