The problem is that the current client does not support the import of these very old wallet.dats from june 2015. Therefore I am not able to sell my siafunds now, although i wanted to. Let's hope that version 1.0 will support the import of these old wallet.dats.

Hi GetVisaCoin,

Chris and Stephan have been part of the Blitz dev team for sometime, working in their spare time around work commitments. During this time Chris designed and developed The Viral Exchange and Fitalize, Stephan has been solely working on The Viral Exchange. They are both still involved with Blitz, which has a very active team and innovative tech. Blitz is one of those coins that has great tech and a solid team, but its not surrounded with hype.

I cannot share any further details at this time, but Blitz will play a role in the Stratis Platform. Their platforms are great tools for driving adoption as we have seen with The Viral Exchange already. More details will be released on this partnership soon.

FYI This information is included in the Bios on the team section.

Regards
Krushang

TPTB was confident there was a bug in the SOL code, but he didn't take the time to try find it.

Because he is not going to do something that will get his ass thrown in jail.

TPTB doesn't have a vendetta against Ethereum. TPTB motivation is to earn $ in positive ways that help advance CC.

TPTB is not a hacker from the dark side of the world.

The bug on DAO has been known for weeks but no substantial effort has been made in order to fix it that is why the dao attacker was able to have enough time and planning to do the heist. And I do not think this is just a one man team effort, it may compose of some group that has hidden agenda to thwart DAO as they have their own digital currency on their back.

Thing is as long as your merchant around the corner does not accept you monero payment people will have to use Fiat. Any CC that achieves this will be truely mass adopted.

Apparently the DAO attacker has now been identified and he is attempting to plea bargain out of criminal proceedings.

More updates to follow.

Now that you have extra time, I guess you guys will get your ICO afterall lol.....TVE comment from a newb was priceless too.....nicely done!!

Looks like I have some research to do

you would need to ask coinomat about debit card plans

I was talking to Taek on Slack about this. He said I have to wait until 1.0 and that he thinks my Siafunds are NOT lost. Let's hope the best

The buyer can reveal themselves if they wish, CfB will know their identity from the escrow, but I will respect their privacy. The buyer has also opted to decide the amount of any donation to the foundation, so I will transfer the full 1%.

Let me try and explain things a little better as perhaps some of my personal disappointments in these past few years tend to impact upon my posts (once you've been hounded like I have been you might also become a little bitter).

Typically software developers that work for commercial software companies (and I was such a developer for many years) are kept insulated from the financial side of said companies and even generally from the clients (I rarely ever took a support call in over 15 years of such professional work and didn't even have much email correspondence with any "end users").

As the average software developer is more of an introvert they tend to work best kept in small teams with others similar to themselves (and this is the environment they mostly prefer to be working in and the model that most successful software development companies use).

The open source movement has a bit of a different dynamic but it isn't even nearly as confused with funding dynamics as projects in this particular field have become (where investment/crowdfunding/ICO's and developers/salespeople/scammers have all become a bit of a blur).

Basically this has resulted in (genuine) developers being forced into an uncomfortable (for them) "spotlight" that includes direct contact with people who often don't even understand software development at all (but are always happy to criticise).

I used to think that the idea of having less layers was a good thing but when it comes to software development itself now I am not so sure at all (as the team of relatively unknown devs that are well looked after and insulated from the outside works better IMO).

So for a way "forward" I would suggest that devs should be managed by a development management team (maybe just one or two people can do that) whose job it is to keep the devs insulated from the outside (so they can do productive development work without the unwanted attention and pressure).

Thanks everyone, after the CF I did to give vbcs some payment for his work, he joined into our team's chat, and we've been in communication. I'll stay in communication with him, and I'll stay active here.

I am here for QORA, and as soon as we get the next few public things we're planning with BURST done, I'll focus more on this side of things.

I truly appreciate the vote of confidence! Let me know if you need anything, and as soon as I can get communications continued with vbcs, I'll talk with him and see how things go.

I'm here for you, QORA community, let's do this!

I have a hunch that BigIotaBig was one of the buyers. 

I am happy to donate 5% to the foundation before the trade if the buyer prefers, if they want they can donate after also, that would be their choice. The rate (20x before, 25x after) would be the same either way.

To be clear, you're selling 1% of iota for approximately 238.22622 btc (11.911311 x 20) before launch or 297.782775  btc (11.911311 x 25) after launch and you're donating 5% to the foundation prior to the sale.

Is this correct?

My offer is still available. If CfB agrees we could split my genesis account before the launch if that was preferable.

Thanks CfB, but I have more than 1%, and I want to keep some IOTA still, so we would need to split the account, I hope that is possible.

A few people have asked for exact valuation numbers, my calculations are as follows:

ICO funds raised
930.96 btc
Jinn 41297 * 0.0063 = 260.1711 btc

total bitcoins = 930.96 + 260.1711 = 1191.1311

1% = 11.911311 btc

If I have made an error we will adjust figures
