I didn't promise anyone anything,. I'm along for the ride just like everyone else, but I am more optimistic and unlike some I don't go round screaming 'scam' just because I didn't get my way.

Exchange platform is apparently going live in a few days, and for those that haven't kept up they are migrating the blockchain to an etherium base.

https://avesta.io/en/avesta-andromeda-open-beta-version-launch/?fbclid=IwAR1p1KtiDG2a4UG9yUTTpRpAiErKkjcEjZQowdEfDvb67koOh6_r0dadtqg

Exchange and trading platform was announced yesterday, launch of the first version will be by the end of the year, full launch by the end of feburary.

Now will you PLEASE stop going on constantly about Avesta beign a scam despite the facts sugesting otherwise.

Yes it's hit delays but you are sounding like a 2 years old child who's been told he can't have his desert untill he's finnished his dinner, then he's thrown his dinner all over the floor whining that he wants his desert.

All you are doing is hurting everyone else who has time and money invested in this project who don't think it's a scam.

It would help if you could at least write in English, then if someone was interested in reading your pointless spamming at least they could understand you.

It frequently goes down, they are constantly working on the website fixing bugs and working on new features.

It's back up now and working fine.

Thats all you can reply with??? Really WOW.

You say it's a scam and you have lost everything, yet you won't sell your Avesta despite claiming REPEATEDLY it's WORTHLESS? Which one is it?

Is it worthless, in which case sell it to me... or Is it still worth something, in which case what on earth are you doing?

You know what, never mind. I'm done, this is a complete waste of my time.

Anyone reading your comments on this thread will draw thier own conclusions and attach thier own value to your posts, which I suspect will be about as much value as you attach to your Avesta holding (aparently, yet you make no sense with your actions).

Have a nice life, I sincerely wish you all the best.

Two reasons....

1) I already have a LOT of avesta, I don't need any more. As theres hardly anyone mining its currently costing me a LOT less than 0.10 euro per Avesta (this will change in the future). Therefore I'm only going to buy if it's worth me doing so (and I am a greedy opportunist  ).

2) You have something you allegedly don't want and have repeatedly stated is worthless. You have made that very clear.

Put the two together and you have a very low offer.

So, if it's such a bad project and you honestly believe its worthless I'm offering you the opportunity to at least get something back.

If you HONESTLY believe its worthless you'll tear my arm of.

If you don't take me up on my offer you must believe there is still some value in Avesta. In which case I refer you to my previous comment about trying to tear the house down while your standing in it  

It's still in beta form. The propper platform hasn't even been launched yet, of course there's no one using it.

They also aren't planning to try and get users in the 'normal' way for a crypto currency (driven by exchange listings and speculative trading). They are building a complete crypto payment solution that is aimed at businesses, thier customers, people that don't have bank accounts, etc. They probably haven't even got to the point of trying to on board anyone yet. That's what atracted me to the coin, it's a different approach.

Also, please consider this... if you honestly believe you have lost your money then PM me with your Avesta balance and we'll have a chat about me buying it from you. It'll be at about 0.001 euro per AVE, but if you HONESTLY believe you've lost your money you'll rip my arm off, at least you'll get something back.

If your not willing to do that then you must still have some hope that Avesta will work out (as I do, and for the good reasons I have outlined).

In that case, is trying to tear the house down while your still standing in it such a good idea?

Seriously, my advice to you is to please take a breath, calm down, and be patient.

Define 'invest'?

I decided that instead of just handing over money, I'd make use of my technical knowledge and I purchased quite a bit of equipment to mine with. Not only does that cost money, up front, but it's depreciating every month, and I'm also paying an electricity bill each month in one of the most expensive countries on earth.

Then add in the several hundred hours I've spent, getting/keeping everything running, helping people, tracking down bugs, etc.

I suspect I have much more 'invested' in this than you, and that should tell you something.

Why would I bother if I didn't think it was worth it? I could have chosen any other coin, but there's something different about Avesta.

If, and I repeat 'if', they do manage to do what they say they will try to do then it should be very sucessfull.

I suspect we see things differently not because we have 'invested' different ammounts, but because we went into this with different expectations. I'm not in any hurry to see them dump on an exchange. I'd rather they kept doing what they have been doing, and when the time is right, be it 2018, 2019, or whatever, then they list on an exchange once all the functionality is there.

I'm also ready to lose everything I have put into this, knowing from the start that this was like buying a lottery ticket. There is a really good chance you'll get nothing back from ICO's in general, but if your careful and through a combination of luck and judgement pick the right coin.. it's happy days.

I honestly wish you all the best, and please, don't be in such a hurry.

I guess we really do see things very differently.

Do you have anything concrete to back that statement up? Of course you are entitled to you opinion, everyone is entitled to think what they want.. but if there's some solid info behind that comment I'd love to hear it? Please don't take this as someone trying to call you out in the way you'd normally expect on an internet forum, I don't mean it in a 'put up or shut up' kind of way.

I would geuninely love to know if you know something I don't? Or maybe we just see things differently..?

When I look at this I see a small team working away releasing new functionality every month or so. That same team have been very responsive when I have contacted them to report bugs and sugest things.

There's a blockchain explorer and test transactions that work as they should. Mining rewards are also working well.

When I pulled apart the node client just after the launch of the public Beta and WireSharked the traffic everything looked legit.

From where I sit it still looks like an OK project, albeit one that has been delayed. It certainly doesn't feel like a scam, but maybe that just because of the interactions I've had?

Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that it IS an ok project, and I'm not advising anyone to invest any money, it's just that from where I sit doesn't look anything like a scam and if I'm wrong I'd love to know.

Anythings possible... but, if it were me I'd have bailed right after the ICO and not wasted money on dev, websites, servers, etc.

Why continue on for months spending money when you could just walk off into the sunset at the start?

It makes far more sense in my mind that it's a really small team who just dont have time\don't get the importance of updating roadmaps and have fallen behind on thier origional dev timelines.

Still, that's just my personal opinion.

On the positive side they are still here and things are progressing. We would all like things to move quicker, but as long as they keep moving onwards and upwards I'm happy.

Ahhh ok I see, makes sense now.

Yup, no exchange listing this year. Disapointing but no matter how you slice it its the right choice.

There's no point listing untill the debit card is ready, That alone will make a massive difference.

 

In English?

I think I have just hit a personal record... just over 7000 good blocks submitted (480 rejected) without a single crash of the miner! 

Things have DEFFINATELY got a LOT more stable these last couple of months.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Even though we don't have it yet, given the rapid progress we have seen over the last few months I wouldnt be surprised if we got mobile mining early in 2019.

They have a lot to do but they are getting through it.


Looking forward to that too. Currently have a six figure sum of Avesta, but not planning on selling any of it any time soon. If they keep going like this the futures very bright.

Thank you for the info 

I must say that apart from that hickup things have been a lot more stable lately, and it's been great seeing the platform functionality taking shape over the last few months.

Mining has also improved massively!

For anyone that's missed it... if you are mining your command line to start the miner should look something like this (I'm running Linux on my miners, if your using Windows it'll be a little different but basically th same):

Path to miner.exe --account *10 digit acount number* --name *worker name* --threads *number of cores or lvl3 cache size in MB / 2, whichever is less* --daemon-address *Mining node* --scan-time 1

Mining Nodes:

eu.avesta.network:2282 = Europe
us.avesta.network:2282 = US
as.avesta.network:2282 = Asia

I'm going to chip in my 2 cents worth here...

Last year I went through 100's of ICO's assessing them for viability. There were lots of fun and quirky offerings that were trying to launch based on some novel idea like replacing securities exchanges, simplifying supply lines and similar.

They were all well and good, but I was looking for a coin that had the best chance of replacing cash\card payments.

From a technical perspective (asuming everything gets delivered), Avesta should be miles ahead of everything else in this regard.

- Exchange listing by the end of the year.
- Debit card by the end of the year.
- 10s block time
- Extremely low transaction fees
- A bunch of other stuff like smart contracts, multi currency walet, invoicing, accounting, etc.

Asuming it all gets delivered (the dev team are doing a cracking job so far!) that's a great combination.

No one knows whats going to happen in the future, based based on what we have seen so far this project looks like a good bet.

If you haven't started mining yet it's not to late to come and join us and get on board, just don't leave it much longer.

Your very welcome, glad I could help 

I normally pop by every couple of days to see if I can help out with anything. From what I gather the devs are really busy and it's a small team so the boards get little attention at the moment.

You probably already know, but the underlying algo is based on cryptonight, so when you configure the number of threads you'll want to do Level 3 cache in MB / 2MB = threads to configure the miner to use, or number of cores = threadcount. Use which ever is the smaller number.

Happy mining!

Just add "--scan-time 1" without the quotes to your command line.
