For people that dont like to read the previous page.

ICO site is still not ready, we will announce when it is. There is no ETA.

The JUMBLR snapshot will happen after the ICO site is back up, since there is no ETA for ICO site, there is no ETA for JUMBLR snapshot.

We apologize in the delay for giving out the free bonus and appreciate if you can understand that our priority is the safety of user funds and not the giving out the free JUMBLR sharedrop.

Also, complaining about the delay wont make it go any faster. However, if it makes you feel better, go ahead and complain. I am also complaining too, but it will take as long as it takes.

Maybe it is best to not expect the ICO site anytime soon. Then when it is available, it will be a pleasant surprise. So officially, let us say the ICO site will be ready before the end of the year.




It seems I need to post the above every 10 posts or so

Exciting News!

Someone is also testing our Native Decentralize Exchange with atomic swaps and the liquidity provider (LP) nodes it will be using. jl777 has been testing the liquidity providers that create the liquidity for the decentralized exchange. Usually the atomic swap happens through his own test nodes, but in this case it appears that also someone else was running such a node.

Quote from: jl777
it seems during my testing, i did an atomic swap with a node that is not mine!

Quote from: jl777
to my knowledge, this is the first time for this to happen



More on this please. Instructions? Are we allowed to test yet?

Edit..

You can run a LP node.. pad.supernet.org/LP-node

alex May 3, 2017 11:25
also will it provide me with a reward for doing this?

jl777 May 3, 2017 11:26
LP nodes make bid/ask spreads as profit

alex May 3, 2017 11:36
so running an LP node is the only way (except of the notary nodes) to contribute to Komodo running a server-side component


alex May 3, 2017 11:37
which repository do I need to build to run an LP node?

jl777 May 3, 2017 11:38
need both the komodo and SuperNET repo for LP node. tradebots is the channel for that

alex May 3, 2017 11:40

So https://github.com/nanomsg/nanomsg
https://github.com/jl777/komodo
https://github.com/jl777/SuperNET ?

jl777 May 3, 2017 11:40
those should be all the repos needed

alex May 3, 2017 11:40
cool, thanks
is nanomsg such a custom dependency that you cannot get it through a regular package manager?

jl777 May 3, 2017 11:42
no
you can do that too
for a while the latest 1.0.0 wasnt available except via nanomsg repo

alex May 3, 2017 11:42
libnanomsg-dev/xenial,xenial 0.5~beta+dfsg-1 amd64
libnanomsg0/xenial,xenial 0.5~beta+dfsg-1 amd64
are the packages in Ubuntu 16.04.02 but I’d need >v1.0?

jl777 May 3, 2017 11:43
well maybe not all repos are updated
1.0.0 is indeed needed

alex May 3, 2017 11:43
ok, thanks a lot
I am running already two Wave, and a NEM node
and hopefully soon at least one Komodo node

jl777 May 3, 2017 11:44
just start with a normal komodod node
after you are doing it, then LP node can be setup

I dont remember anyone using sd cards or having card readers inside their home pcs. I used to see an sd card with my own eyes when I was 21 and was invited to the village square to try foreign foods and touch high-end technological devices such as camera and thermal visor taken from the body of a tourist killed by a group of our warriors near settlement where I lived.

They make regular SD, miniSD, and microSD. There are all kinds of adapters to go to any type of pc, but I was mostly refering to using them with cell phones and most have a microSD port on them as well as new ones have NFC. Really any type of small drive could work.

But the overall message is that off blockchain tranasactions would help bridge the gap to non crypto people.

I know the team is way to busy to make this, I was just offering up an old suggestion.

Conclusions

Let's think about killer application that target mass markets outside of crypto. What could those be? Ideas? Smiley

TLDR. I want to be able to hand someone a crypto currency token and want them to trust that the value is on it, and I can't spend it behind their back.


THIS IS AN OLDER IDEA, REPLACE THE OLD NAMES WITH THE NEW ONES



Quote
"interesting. it will be pretty tricky to make sure a transfer is valid (ie no double spends), however there should be some way to use hashing, multisig and encryption to enable this.

not sure about the fiat side of things (regulations), but at some point this would make it much easier of people to adopt crypto. making possession of it trump any hidden copies is the key. there might be some research about this already, my guess is that it will need to use zero knowledge proofs"

"Interesting, I like the idea of real world connections to crypto, will need to think more about this one.

I think you should look into NFC as your communication method or maybe clever QR (address on outside private key on inside fold) this would be much cheaper while still having the same type of effect."

MICRO MONEY   rev 2

Is intended to be a Micro SD Card wallet technology to help facilitate Off-Blockchain transactions. This would allow various crypto types and amounts to be put on a normal or custom printed Micro SD Card to be holdable, tradeable, refillable, and collectable.  


WHY:
Right now paper money is a wonderful anonymous tool. Unfortunately paper money cannot be sent through the Internet. Micro Money is an idea to combine tangible currency with Internet capabilities as well as provide an easy to use crypto-coin container for the public.

For the general public it is easier to understand harder concepts like crypto currencies if it is tangible and you can hold it in your hand. I also wanted something more dynamic then a paper wallet or a non electronic collectible wallet token. And I've observed that humans love to collect miniatures, whether they are micro-machine toys, DnD figurines, doll houses, train sets, models, muscle men, gi joe, etc, etc, etc. Basically this is cool, fun, and something I would not mind owning and I hope others would as well.
(DISCLAIMER: This is not intended to be a replacement for the trezor or other similar wallets but a functional, secure method that promotes off-blockchain transactions.)
 
I envision it working something like this:

HOW it works for the user:
1.The user obtains a Micro SD Card, regular off the shelf or custom printed with coin logos.
2. The user inserts the card into a reader.
3. The user loads the SuperNET wallet and selects the Micro Money app.
4. The user selects the type of crypto to load and the amount from the wallet.
5. The app then loads that amount onto the card. (The app only allows one value per card to be added)
6. The user can now remove the card for trading or storage.
7. If the user wishes to verify the balance on the card it is held near a NFC device to verify.
8. If the user wishes to spend the value on the card it is inserted, and transfer/spend is selected and it is transferred by the wallet. (The Micro Money card is now empty at this point and ready to repeat step 1.)


HOW it works for the app:
1. A new Micro SD Card is formated per the app. (A partition is setup)
2. If possible one of the partitions is hidden.
3. The app generates wallet keys for the type of crypto selected.
4. The value selected by the user is transferred to this new wallet.
5. On the hidden partition, a hash of the private key and a hash of the public key is created.
The idea is to not make it easy for the public to know either key so the value is effectively locked to the card.
6. To prevent double spends the wallet keys should be un-viewable and/or un-retrievable by the user in the app and the wallet.
7. To verify balance on the card, the app uses NFC and translates the public key hash and verifies balance.
8. To spend/transfer from the card the app translates the private key, moves the value it contains, then deletes the keys. The user now repeats step 1.

I am truly excited at the liquidity provider tech that is being worked on. This just might be the killer app that crypto was missing. ( instantdex being part of this)

If the little guy can make some extra coin by providing this service then I see great things coming down the line.

I encourage the team to make joining the liquidity provider army as easy as possible with as many dumbed down videos, documentation, examples, and other marketing as possible.


And, good job team

(Thanks for your criticisms guys, your comments are noticed, but I'm a big boy and prefer to make my own decisions)

I would like to read more about the new unique dpow.

Is there a steemit post or a write up somewhere that describes how jl777 came up with dpow?

The whys, hows, whens, whats, whoose-its of it all.

Long time reader, subscriber and hodler here.

James the stuff that comes from your head is amazing. And the direction you wish to take crypto is inspiring.

A couple of due diligence questions though, and please note these are not meant to sound harsh, you have my utmost respect.

1. Has Supernet generated any revenues? (Props to you for keeping the price at near beginning level)
- yes there have been some assets, but those didn't really give any revenues
- the funds supernet has, have been used for trading, have any of those profits been given back to the hodlers?


2. What role will Btcd play in iguana?
-Before it was needed as the grease for iguana transactions? Now what is the grease for iguana, komodo?


3. You said that you will never build on a platform you have no control on (ie: nxt) but is not btc and zcash outof your control
-what happens if btc transaction fees become large
-or btc changes in a way that is disasterous to your project

-or z cash fails to deliver a working product, or zcash delays their launch, or zcash who can read this thread sees you as a competitor and seeks to throw a monkey wrench in your launch somehow.

Thanks

Apologizes, spelling is not my strong suit. There will be a correction I assure you.


Is it intentional that some of the names and nicks are spelled incorrectly? If not, please correct mine, Branson and theymos at least Wink

Btw in addition to supernode operator, I am a game designer for 25 years standing and have designed a MtG-style expandable collectible card game in 2000 (not published except our University group) and am currently full time designer in MMO RPG Crypto Kingdom (link in sig).

As the project gets traction, it'd be cool to have the gaming side also functional even if the main point is that the set is collectible/cool as such. This is no volunteering for another project, but I may be able to give feedback/work on the design if desired.
