1 billion coins in circulation?!  Why would anyone buy knowing that there are a billion coins in peoples wallets, most waiting to be dumped? That's a pretty tough a wall for most investors to climb.

I also feel people who make these comments need a lot more education before investing real money.

Number of tokens means 0 when making investment decisions.

The distribution of the tokens and MC are far more important. More important still is the real value of the project in the context of others here.

Why would people be waiting to dump at 30m when there are projects with 100M to 1B with less going for them.


I don't know where you picked up your education but I can guarantee you it's not worth half of mine Smiley

This coin is not Ripple, and will most likely have dumpers dumping most of the billion coins in wallets, far more often than investors investing.  

Good luck




You don't know but can then make guarantees based upon that. Hmmm I see.

Okay, if that's your explanation then that's fine. Stay out and get in with Ripple.
We'll review in a few months.
Meanwhile - I'll go back in time and tell XEM and bitshares holders  that they should have dumped out at a 30M cap. Actually, they have billionS of tokens so they are not going anywhere either.

The only part of your post that makes any sense is the " I don't know" segment.

I mean imagine if what you have said is a general rule then how do projects with billions of tokens increase in value at all?

Again I'll ask you why would you dump your share of a project if you consider it is below market value compared to other projects regardless of the amount of tokens it is divided into?

If this is the only factor you take into consideration then investing must be easy for you. Just find the projects with the smallest minting.
Let us know how that works out for you.

Sadly common sense just isn't that common anymore.

You never bet the horse, you bet the jockey!

I came over from BLK because of David Z...dude rocks and I will follow good talent anywhere!

And Dave, you are Gold Brother!

I'm just along for the ride, cause I "do know" Tongue

Re: BitBay OFFICIAL BITBAY Thread Smart Contracts Decentralized Markets Rolling Peg

Hello guys,

I was looking some crypto to invest, then found bitbay and get excited this currency fundaments and also the recently market growth. After this, I've decided to buy some and hold.

However, I've got some doubts about how BAY can handle about common marketplacess existent problems and the specifics decentralized marketplace challenges. Lets use ebay as parameter.

On ebay we have a lot of dishonest people (buyers/sellers). Its very common the ebay staff intervention to solve many kind of problems with transactions and many times those problems aren't solved.

The honest people of the ebay community (buyers/sellers) have a certain security about transaction and sales, even the problem was caused by thirds (like post offices, etc). This security is what bring a mass of buyers and big sellers to ebay plataform.

If to decentralized need to attract big sellers and a large mass of buyers to be successful, how bitbay can do this if the envolved have to trust on each other honesty? How bitbay system can force a fair solution about the transactions problem? Who will judge who is right? If I buy some product from a chinese seller and I don't receive, on my side "never received the product" on his side "I sent", who will prevail?

I know bitbay has a qualification system but this is enough to bring feeling of safety to sellers/buyers?

I still excited about bitbay, my intention here is just ask questions that I made to myself.


BitBay uses double deposit escrow (DDE) in addition to a reputation system.
Default for DDE is that both buyer and seller put up a deposit that is 100% the value og the transaction. If everything goes smoth, they will release (simultaniously) the deposit. If one of them tries to cheat, the deposit will not be released, and the scammer has gained nothing.



Thanks for your explanation.

I've actually read about this but really don't know if it will works in major situations, because sellers and buyers have too freeze some amount of capital to warranty the transaction.

Just imagining as a seller point of view: if I want to grow my salles, I need liquidity of my capital fast as possible, if I do some business that last some time to be completed and until it's completely done my money will be frozen, why use this plataform?

Also, if both parts don't release their deposit, what will happen to the warranty bays?

Quote from Dave's interview on this same question, hope this helps (I was wondering how that worked)....

CCN — How can there be no arbiter? What happens when there are disputes?

DZ — It is probably easiest to start a comparison by looking at the way EBay handles disputes. On EBay, if you are the seller, and the buyer has a complaint, EBay always sides with the buyer. If the buyer said something was not what they were expecting for any reason, Ebay forces the seller to give a full refund, and in addition pay for return shipping, no matter what the truth is.

Alternatively, BitBay has unbreakable contracts where both the buyer and seller make a deposit as part of the contract. If there are unresolvable problems, the deposits on the contract for both parties are lost. People either work together to resolve any issues, or both parties lose. When everything works out, both parties close the contract and the deposits are returned.

Dear Cloak Community,
 
We're pleased to announce the first version of the Cloak wallet for Raspberry Pi.
As many of you are aware, low-cost/low-power devices such as the Raspberry Pi will form an important part of the Cloak network and eco-system as we move forward. This is the non-graphical version requiring command line use through SSH as the RasPi version is primarily for running a minting process.
 
For those wishing to do some minting/mining of CLOAK you can now offload the process from your desktop and run the RasPi linux daemon (headless) on a Raspberry Pi2 or Pi3 running a 32-bit or 64-bit OS (both versions available, 64-bit for Pi3 only). An 8Gb Class 10 uSD Card is recommended and download/install the Jessie Lite image (no Graphical UI). You will install and run cloakcoind as a headless server (see instructions). You can even run a script in rc.local to auto load at boot time.

 


As with any CLOAK wallet you wish to mint with, it requires sending some CLOAK to your RasPi wallet
as the POS (Proof-Of-Stake) process needs some CLOAK to lend out in transactions.
The more CLOAK you have available the more minting fees you will acquire over time.
 
There are no current plans to create a graphical version for the RasPi as your personal wallet as this is better handled on your desktop. We are however looking into a thin-client for interfacing directly with the RPC interface.
 
Peace and Love,

Team Cloak






Is there any vid tutorial on how to set this up? I have all the tools, just don't have the knowledge Tongue

i  100% agree scoob

then a day later one of the guys here said...yes there is smart contracts in blk, lol...
i was very very surprised and then decided to research more and found so much cool stuff about blackhalo and nightrader..
that was it, i was back in Black lol  
 over summer we will see more life here....this thread is still getting over 500views per day , pretty gd
update the OP, links to all the useful stuff, a bit more dev update and interaction with the btctalk blk community and we will be back on track
this is the perfect time to stock up on blk, before the herd of sheep come because they cant afford a pos node on eth
Love it my friend...back in black indeed!

I think were being way to humble and have a lot more to say then whats been posted, seriously!?!

Again first impressions would tell me this coin has nothing going on, when in fact a lot is going on...just not posted here...

I know I know, ya'll moved to reddit but not everyone likes that hipster millennial hangout, especially now they censor for the elite's.

Everything else you guys do looks f'ing awesome, but that first page is just weak.

I hope IE didnt taint you guys that bad?!? (He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named)

What am I saying, everyone left right after 8(



Well, not everything is going on reddit. Most activity is on slack atm

Ahh, FotM Tongue

I'm just saying (and have always been saying) this forum is where IT'S at. Sadly its been kicked to the side of the road for what seems like "years" now.
ANYONE interested in cryptos (which we are trying to include the world in this) will never and I mean "NEVER" end up on slack. Guaranteed Fact!
Google it and see. No results = No new visitors/interest

They will most likely find this forum though, and if for some crazy lucky reason doing research find this posting it will read poorly from the under selling first posting.
Its almost as if you say the words Black Coin everyone is suppose to know all the cool shit happening or something.... they don't.

I'm not saying don't use slack. I'm saying don't use exclusive sites, post news/events here, talk here, update here, stop ignoring the most important forum we have.

Love the coin, love Rat and PoW. We have an awesome Dev's (much love), I can't wait to see what the future holds.

Lets just fully utilize the tools at hand imo and stop dwelling on the past i.e. IE (I lost several thousand)

Since there is no dev or representatives, we might as well go ahead with a rebranding. I am happy to a$$i$t with the new project. If you are willing and able, message me.
No point circle jerking in this dead thread with no developer. BLK has a lot of potential. The tech is there, the marketing is not.
Haha , you guy make a joke.  this thread isn't dead and rat4 also doesn't leave here. He make two version of blackcoin short time ago.
Few pages before we had few posts by main developer, he do not have time to talk with every person, that is why we have 1600+pages so start reading..Progress is maybe slow but we are not in the hurry..Black coin raised from 2.5k sat to 10k, its very much alive now!
Since there is no dev or representatives No point circle jerking in this dead thread with no developer. BLK has a lot of potential. The tech is there, the marketing is not.
Do you actually know who are the devs? You can fork it if you know how and create your own coin..

No need to get defensive.

Realistically, no one is going to use a platform called Blackcoin for child support payments. There's a reason why darkcoin rebranded to DASH, darkmarket rebranded to openbazaar etc.

Continue being #70 on coin marketcap, because BLK will never be top 20 in its current state. Just because it has risen in a BULL market where EVERYTHING is rising, doesn't mean that progress is being made. I guess this kind of logic is the reason why you can't see the bigger picture that mexicantarget and I presented.

Good luck!
Love this coin and the more research I do the more I think this coin is the dark horse in the crypto race.
To me, I see Blackcoin = cool, hip, bad guys wear black etc etc..

But to the rest of the potential crypto world might get a different "first impression".
Black is the opposite of white also though of as sinister or evil, black market, black masks, black mark, black magic, black arts, black friday etc.etc.. (All doom or bad)

These are the words in the lexicon of the average person.

What I'm saying is our reality is not the same as everyone elses. We accept black without regard to the linguistics involved (i.e. black = cool)
Everyone else who didnt grow up with black coin only hears "black" and the above words of negativity come to mind, consciously or subconsciously...its there!

You can ignore reality but you cant ignore the consequences of ignoring reality = i.e. #70

100% behind re-branding, hurts my soul but its the right move.
Best to do it asap, we seem to be at the start of the biggest bull run in crypto history.

Though I have been holding DOGE for a longtime, I don't see it going further without any solid technical developments. It will just be another dying crypto which is ageing.
Just like any good movement i.e. greenpeace, education, government, religion, etc., Doge was hijacked by extremist libertarians or elements hostile to anything not aligned with their fringe ideology. These elements chased Palmer out by trolling and baiting him into rage quiting. They essentially killed our "Jesus". Everyone was riding the highs with NASCAR, bobsleds and Wolong to notice/care and we could do no wrong. But just like Venezuela its now time to pay the Piper. Decisions made in the past always have a due date, kill the creator = suffer the consequences!

That guy aint serious ?
http://www.coindesk.com/dogecoin-is-the-joke-that-wouldnt-die-finally-dying/

The responsible of Dogecoin fail is Jacky Palmface himself.
Like "let's create infinite amount of dogecoins forever" (while Everyone in the community was against it) and "I don't gare about money" and "1 doge equals 1 doge" and "I refuse venture capital" and "this coin is not for greeeedy people". Okay. More spoilt child philosophy. Now you have a valueless token. Do you think 1 doge = 1 doge for the people maintaining your network with their miners ? No need to be Nobel prize to see that this was going to fail hard.

Community isn't responsible, the problem is the lack of responsabiliy of the developpers. Like hey let's broke Dogecoin both legs give it to the community and see where it goes.
Ridiculous story really

Agreed! even Jackson Palmer says,
"New features aren't being implemented into dogecoin because there's no active development anymore. Eventually, it will become outdated. And with that, the network will organically wind down."

doge needs to:
1) Start grass roots campaign to bring him back ("to be the big toe for us") (Hes watching ^^, its his baby)
2) hard fork to lower/maybe even end total to be produced - Things change, its why they put erasers on pencils. You want to be inherently inflationary, but at this rate its like hyper inflation.
3) add development and features and promote - (not NASCAR! But something crazy like that , that shows usefulness of crypto in real world situation...maybe globally)

Do those and its definitely a "to the moon resurrection..in spades!" imo

I still love Blackcoin and believe in the dev team!..But sometimes we lose focus and maybe have a bad day..and say things we didn't mean Undecided

UPDATE

This is a condensed version of the update that will be posted as a blog post on the new site. We will be releasing regular updates in the form of Blog posts moving forward.

Blitz rebrand

After much deliberation we have decided to rebrand 'Blitz Coin' to just 'Blitz', anywhere that the coin tag needs to be used it will be referenced as 'Blitz Cash'. We have purchased the blitz.cash domain name.

​New Blitz website​

The Blitz website is very close to completion, it was scheduled to be released last week but due to the rebranding additional changes are required.

​Blitz wallet and Blockchain upgrade
We currently have a C++ developer working on upgrading the Blitz wallet and Blockchain to POSv3. This mini project is in the advanced stages and testing will begin soon. This new wallet/blockchain will include some advanced features.

​New Blitz BCT Ann

We have commisioned a graphic designer to create a new Blitz thread design on BCT. The chosen designer has created some very cool thread designs, Shift and the Digitbyte ann are some of his previous works
Are we on Reddit?

You can design and build the best but if no one is aware its all for not.

Exposure FTW IMO Tongue

....Also how is there still downward pressure? Makes no sense, there has been 500k sold in the last few months.

I remember someone asking on the forums just before the run up to buy a large position (outside of the exchange) and I believe he got filled.
Can anyone confirm? and how fricken much did he/she buy?

I've felt that way for awhile.

Blitzcoin has it going on when you look for content in a coin...not to mention the >4M
Upside potential is...well the sky would be that and the down side...it was a fun ride
and I'm glad I was part of something that might have changed the world.

Shouldn't Blitz being added to Azure be on the main post of thread? or post title?

This is a great coin! We just suffer from not being on Polo atm, which equals less exposure (trex needs a troll box).
With a float of less then 4 Million coins available and a seriously active Dev Team (thank you guys) our price before
news should have been around 12,000 to 15,000 sat average daily....so, we should be 30 to 50k with this news and have
a positive moving average considering Blitz would still be undervalued.

The crypto waters are very murky in these early days, and people are throwing their BTC at pure garbage coins for
no other reason then maybe you can buy half a billion for cheap and feel like a baller or Slick Dev team with misleading
or straight up scamy ideas bilking the small investors.

Infinite coin 90+ billion coins - what good could possibly come from this?! Seriously? #68 coinmarketcap
Fedora Coin 416,702,634,777 TIPS - a f'ing Hat is #11 coinmarketcap (a stupid hat at that) I would say it has nothing but the web site is dead atm...wonder if anyone cares..

There were at least 100 automobile companies that had begun operations in Detroit by the beginning
of the 20th century, we now have 3. Given enough time this gangly bush of cryptos will be pruned down and I don't think it will 100 years.
I think the next 2 years could be insane for cryptos. I've been here since the Alt markets started and there were fun times
but compared to today they were a desert of aimlessness. ETH trading 60K BTC a DAY should say enough about that. Did
Cryptsy best "Month" ever trade that much? What will the volume be 2017 for the FotM crypto?!

No worries from me, from weak hands to strong arms and I will accumulate more on the dips. I see an upside that could be phenomenal
with Blitz coin. My investments are not ruled by fear or greed, like Buffett I'm looking at value investing or the idea of intrinsic value
"the underlying fair value of a stock based on its future earnings power". Yea theres no P/E for crypto but I believe there is a P/PE,
Price to Potential Earnings Ratio and with >4M = $4U

Sry not sure if this is a rant or the mumblings of the insane, either way I'm Long Blitz Coin!

The current version has already had smart contracts for 2 years. The newest one is actually very stable and fast. However, I need to update the daemon from the POS 3 fork. (You could build that yourself too)

This version of BlackHalo has decentralized markets as well.

So the goals this year:

Implement the cold staking technique
Finish the remaining templates (currently only custom smart contracts and cash for coins template is live)
And after all templates, I'm still working on NightTraders beta.

The challenge in NightTrader I've had is latency, if i finish the microtrader it will require time to complete trades so i dont want to release a product if people arent using it.

Regardless, I'm making it with either microtrading or perhaps a variation on atomic trades or multisig exchange. The drawback to multisig exchange is i take on some liability because our servers participate. Microtrading is fully decentralized but consider some transactions might take up to 10-20 trades. Imagine waiting for a trade to finish when involved in Bitcoin (days! no fun)

Bitbay will also get their much anticipated pegging.



The problem? My guy who did my marketing moved on to do a completely different business after I paid him.

So we have no marketing in BLK or in BAY or not even for BitHalo or NightTrader.

I cant code and market, coding is so much work i dont even have time to trade and that has costed quite a bit.

And sorry guys that I don't visit Bitcointalk much, I am usually on r/Blackcoin

Speaking of marketing we have a new site for Blackcoin at davtonia.com/blackcoin but its been hard to convince Gritt to help me push the redirect link back. Things like this are exactly what holds back our marketing.

Its been 2 years and we are still using the old site.

The site might not be the only antiquated thing. Seems "industry" is going with the block chains...smart contracts with decentralized applications all without the possibility of down time.

Crypts are evolving and ironing out a niche in the system, we either evolve and move forward with them or fade away and die with the rest.

The possibilities are causing multi millions to pour new seed money in...I think we are on the edifice of the next "internet" and its time for some big moves.

Venture capital is flowing into this new wild frontier, and where is BLK?

We have the smartest brains in the crypto world, thats why I have a position in BLK. I only hope we haven't become compliciant.

Yeah however Etherium is a bloated protocol. It cant be both a decentralized application and payment network.

Let me explain how serious of a problem this is. Bitcoin cannot even store BASIC TRANSACTIONS on the blockchain without grinding to a halt and sparking a huge blockchain size debate. This actualy problem is increased 10-20 fold if you think you are going to store applications in a decentralized way??? You would be out of your mind to think that.

This is why i've never agreed with the Eth business model of "selling dreams without solutions". And investors are apathetic saying "Oh its okay bandwidth will catch up"

But it wont. Etherium to survive will have to centralize and that is absolutely no good as a payment network.

So actually the blockchain is only good for notary, possibly validating a side chain and reporting errors.

So in all honestly the future is in the lightning network, a P2P debt transfer protocol. Something that allows peers to avoid reporting to the blockchain by transferring trust in time locks.

Etherium storing software on the blockchain?? Ridiculous. Imagine having to download all of youtube to watch a single video. The scalaing problem is very serious.

I do like the fact that they can augment the scripting system so in that respect Bitcoin and all its clones are dinosaurs. But Etherium cannot possibly be a solution because it cannot be decentralized in its proposed state.

Thank you for that. After reevaluating the situation I believe you are correct.

If you carefully read the fine print of what they say you will soon see the holes. Factom says its over $1000 for 1gb to be stored on the bitcoin network and they are just using a single hash, which is just a time stamp!?! ....So the time stamp is going to point to another location of the files? idk

I've already heard about Bitcoins blockchain issues (almost 65gigs atm? so full client is out) and like you said downloading all of youtube is not going to work for a crypto, it has to be fast.

Seems like they are mixing two good ideas to come up with a pile of garbage... Snake oil salesmen?

And sorry guys that I don't visit Bitcointalk much, I am usually on r/Blackcoin

Speaking of marketing we have a new site for Blackcoin at davtonia.com/blackcoin but its been hard to convince Gritt to help me push the redirect link back. Things like this are exactly what holds back our marketing.

Its been 2 years and we are still using the old site.

The site might not be the only antiquated thing. Seems "industry" is going with the block chains...smart contracts with decentralized applications all without the possibility of down time.

Crypts are evolving and ironing out a niche in the system, we either evolve and move forward with them or fade away and die with the rest.

The possibilities are causing multi millions to pour new seed money in...I think we are on the edifice of the next "internet" and its time for some big moves.

Venture capital is flowing into this new wild frontier, and where is BLK?

We have the smartest brains in the crypto world, thats why I have a position in BLK. I only hope we haven't become compliciant.
