Re: [$XVG] VERGE [POW][MultiAlgo][BLACKHOLE][Entire Line of TOR/i2P Resources]
gota say i was expecting bigger pump then now...
I get the feeling that the upcoming BTC fork has stifled the pump that may have come from Wraith being released. All alts are trending downwards because of the fork, XVG was down to around 80 sat or so. I think Wraith gave us a pump from there up to 130 sat or so, and now its heading back down again as people move back into BTC for the fork. Will be interesting though to see what happens after the BTC fork and whether that gives XVG a chance to shoot back up.Re: [$XVG] VERGE [POW][MultiAlgo][BLACKHOLE][Entire Line of TOR/i2P Resources]
Hi Dev,
I was just reading on a forum how a person thought that xvg wasn't great compared to other privacy focused coins. Which led me to search for a comparison of coins to show them they were wrong. Anyway, I came across this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6yzp38/comparison_monero_xmr_vs_bitcoin_btc_vs_zcash_zec/
Which are the comments for this comparison:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/wiki/comparison
Now I realise that the comparison is in the Monero subred, so it's going to favour Monero obviously. But it's also making Verge look really bad.
Now what I'd like to know is... Are the questions tainted that badly towards making Monero look good, that it makes Verge look bad? Are they just not asking the right questions? Is the way they are looking at this flawed, or is there really an issue with the fundamentals of Verge?
I'd love to be able to go back to them and let them know any issues with their thinking or correct any wrongs they have made. Unfortunately I am not smart enough in how Verge works to be able to do that. But it seems that if there is indeed misinformation there, it would be a good idea to correct it and get the truth out.
Edit:
After some more searching I also found this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/vergecurrency/comments/6z1fnc/now_i_get_it/
Which poses an interesting question:
How does Verge get around that? Does it need to?
Cheers.
P.S. I'm not trying to troll here, genuinely want to know the answers so I can inform others as well as myself.

It's pseudo-anonymous up until the point where you actually use the coins. Want to sell your BTC/XVG for cash? Your identity is now connected to your coins, addresses and their entire history. Want to buy a product from a company with your BTC/XVG? Your identity is now connected to your coins, addresses and their entire history.
How does Verge get around that? Does it need to?

Hi Dev,
Long time reader, first time poster!
I'd firstly like to say thanks for having the vision to create a coin such as Verge. It has a great feature set and looking at the road map it's only going from strength to strength. Compared to it's rivals it certainly seems to be able to punch above its weight and will hopefully find it's place among the better altcoins out there (maybe even become a coin in it's own right instead of an alt, who knows). So thanks for your hard work!
I have a couple of questions that I was hoping you might be able to take the time to answer for me...
1. It seems as though you are a bit of a one man band when it comes to developing Verge. Is that the case? Or are there other Devs that just don't get let out of the dev dungeon long enough to be able to post here? I guess if you are on your own there are good and bad sides to that. Good in that you can take the coin where you want it to go, no need to have arguments about what direction to take! Bad in that you have to do all the work, there's no one to hand jobs off to so your life can be a bit easier. Also if you become ill or something happens to you (God forbid) then the coin may grind to a halt. I guess it would be nice to have someone to share the glory with?
2. Regarding RSK smart contracts... The road map says July based on Bitcoin testing. Can you elaborate on that a bit? As in is it a technical limitation that you need to have the smart contracts enabled on BTC before you can then add them to Verge? Or is it more of a time constraint that RSK are busy testing with BTC atm, and once they are done with that, they can then help you with your implementation of smart contracts into Verge?
3. Do you have an end goal for Verge? Where do you see it in 5 years time? At what stage would you think that you could stand back and say "I have achieved what I wanted to when I started out with Verge"? I realise that these questions may be harder to answer than the first few, but all the same I'd like to know so I thought I would ask!
Thanks in advance for any answers you may want to share, I know your time is busy. And thanks again for your hard work, I'm sure you wouldn't get told that enough so feel free to give yourself a pat on the back!
Cheers,
Fuz.

sure, here's some answers:
1. you can check out github, we have ALOT of resources, not just the core wallet. we have about 30+ developers that work on various verge resources ie. raspberry pi wallet, electrum, website, core wallet, etc. (and it seems to be growing every day, which is really great to see!)
2. RSK (rootstock) is building the same smart contract platform they did for ethereum (pretty much the only thing that makes ethereum special) for bitcoin. once the process is complete for bitcoin, we'll be implementing them for verge. that's why it revolves around their timeline. some of us have been playing with the bitcoin testnet though =]
3. end goal? no. the goal is to keep growing the number of people working on it, as well as keep evolving verge and it's resources to meet a high privacy standard, while maintaining a public ledger. right now, most coins broadcast user ip across the network so it's easy to link users to transactions. a users ip address can reveal their physical location, as well as give someone with basic network knowledge, a way into their computer (via portscanning). i don't think i'll every be truly satisfied with verge to say i'm done, only because privacy applications continue to update and evolve as well. so the plan is to evolve and update with that.
thanks for the support, and any time you have questions you're more than welcome to ask =]
Just to clarify on RSK... Verge is built on the same base code as bitcoin (is that correct?), therefore once the smart contracts are built for bitcoin you will be able to get that code and hopefully fairly easily integrate it into Verge? Is that what you mean? Sorry if I sound like a noob, but while I am indeed interested in this I have no idea whats involved in the coding of a coin!
I assume that you would have a big sense of pride in what you are achieving here with Verge? Especially seeing that once RSK is implemented you will have something quite unique in crypto... a coin that has anonymous smart contracts with a public ledger? Also, do you see any other coin that may be able to steal some of your thunder which you see as your 'main' competition? Do you know where they live so we can send a team to go trash their curtains? (That's a joke btw, I don't see any point in trashing their curtains!)
Thanks again for the response, it's nice to be able to contact a dev easily and quickly and also have the dev approachable and willing to talk about whats going on

Re: btc-arbs.com - Update: dead HYIP, Refund progress: BTC-arbs still doing refunds
Hey, just checking in to see when my next payment will be. I received one 4th September, and haven't heard since. Do we get a second PM to say when it comes? Or is it just deposited?
I was hoping that the repayment schedule would be quicker than this

Re: btc-arbs.com - Update: dead HYIP, Refund progress 17/06/2014
Hey everyone, first time posting here.
I had thought my btc in BTC-Arbs was gone and buried up till yesterday when I stumbled upon this thread. So forgive my late entry to the list. I have added my details to the spreadsheet, and sent my transaction details to BTC-Arbs via PM here and via email.
I'm not going to jump in and suggest anything as you all seem to be working stuff out by yourself. I do agree though that having a payment schedule would be a good way for him to stop some of the badgering he is receiving. I also agree that spamming any details that people have on him here would be a bad idea. Threats on him or his family are not cool at all, and I think leaking his details out would only make things worse. IF the repayments stop, then the details can be given to the authorities.
I'm just happy that there is a chance I might be able to get my 2.8btc back, let alone the 3.5 that I had with interest.
Cheers,
FuzwaldQO.
