We even have a new policy (we started this new policy about a month or so ago). We don't ban people on telegram, we only mute them when they start off topic that doesn't create anything useful to the WebDollar community. The mute is first 24h, then 48h, then 5 days, and so on. I am not so sure who banned you on telegram. You should contact me and tell me your username so I can verify.  It means the moderator did something wrong. As you said, we only ban the scammer accounts. Maybe the moderators didn't understand your question ?

I'm banned too.
I am banned on the Romanian telegram channel and I am banned on the international telegram channel.
Please take action urgently. Thank you!

You are not banned, but you are are muted because you wrote FUD for the last 3 months.

WebDollar is listed on a few exchanges where you can trade sell or get webdollar.

1 : international.indoex.io(upcoming listing)
2 : VinDAX.com
3 : p2pb2b.io 
4 : webd.timi.ro
5 : http://webdollar.exchange
6 : telegram

https://i.imgur.com/QDFDkOy.png

WebDollar is a community driven project, so we can not control the people who contacts you. Never ever send your WebDollars to anyone else or send your wallet to anyone else. The internet is full of scammers. Usually when scammers came is because there is interest for them to go there. Report and users that is asking for your coins.

The reason why we are not on Binance, Kucoin, etc. is because these exchanges us for big sums to list WebDollar there. Some exchanges asked us for $200,000 to list WebDollar on there exchanges. Because we had no ICO and no pre-sales we have no finding for these listings. Right now,  we don't have fake market making to create fake volumes. In crypto even Bitcoin volume is 95% up to 99% fake. For market making, these greedy exchanges us money every month and we find it useless to pay them every month for something that doesn't create any value.

We even have a new policy (we started this new policy about a month or so ago). We don't ban people on telegram, we only mute them when they start off topic that doesn't create anything concrete to the WebDollar community. The mute is frist 24h, then 48h, then 5 days, and so on. I am not so sure who banned you on telegram. You should contact me and tell me your username so I can verify because it means the moderator did something wrong. As you asked we only ban the scammer accounts. Maybe the moderators didn't understand your question ?

The entire network is now fully synchronized for the 4x halving. So, WebDollar got 4x scarcer now. https://webdscan.io and https://webdollar.network

Next milestone: Proof of Stake 100%.

I have have my own coins because i never sold them. Initially I had 1 bln coins but because I staked I got 4 billions after 3 years. I am just interested to keep it going and see how it works and to maintain the code base.


hey man your project looks interesting, the only problem is it needs marketing so people can hear about it and use it. u have so many coins I was wondering if u can send me 1 million webdollars if I make a wallet. i promise i will start market your project and spread the word. thanks

We have donated over than 2 billion coins to the community members from the project funds. Anybody who is proving that does something extraordinary will get funds.

WebDollar got already a major update. Yesterday, there was a successful hard fork making WebDollar 4x scarcer by forcing with one early, 1/4 halving. The block reward was reduced from 6000 WEBD downto 1500 WEBD.

Good luck Staking! We are planning to experiment with 100% Proof of Stake and we might get a hard fork in about a month for 100% proof of stake ( from 90% right now). We saw that the PoW was simply too bad as most people right now are just interested to dump their coins and not keep them.

@GazetaBitcoin I am actually surprised that you have literally no clue how a cryptocurrency works.
This message is written to one of our haters

WebDollar at the launch year and during the first 1st year it was 100% proof of work minable exactly like Bitcoin. We built in Javascript as codebase, and have decided to use Argon2d as proof of work instead of SHA256 hash function. This enabled us to be easier to be mined on computers and... servers (a server can have up to 64 core processors).

During the 1st year, when webdollar was proof of work, we were surprised that absolutely every  single person who was mining WebDollar has just selling it. Nobody was interested to hold it over long periods of time. So, it made sense for us to switch to a hybrid proof of work and proof of stake. During the 1st year, in webdollar alone there had been an inbound of 2 million dollars of investments going into webdollar coin and 2 million dollars went out directly to the miners pocket. Simply the developers, became the slaves of the miners who made all the profit and kept the price going lower and lower as most miners were either mining for free using 1. Google VPS accounts 2. Amazon cloud, 3. Other free cloud computing . 4. Hacked databases It did not made any sense.

Also, in Bitcoin, Monero, WebDollar, etc. developers don't make any money and it doesn't make any sense to contribute to the code in the long run as long as the code is online and working. The WebDollar network was online and not many changes required. Look at github   

Is Ethereum DEAD as not much stuff going from the launch?
https://i.imgur.com/n06gaPt.png

WebDollar is not my income and I never made any buck from WebDollar and I probably never sell in the next 5 years.  I have my own company, i have my funds.

it is clear from your messages that you don't understand how bitcoin and a decentralized blockchain works. WebDollar was a proof of work and all the money went directly to the miners and the traders. Personally, i have never sold any coin and my profit after 3 years is ZERO. WebDollar was created just like Satoshi Nakamoto as an open source community driven project. It is not my company, it is not my product. I have have my own coins because i never sold them. Initially I had 1 bln coins but because I staked I got 4 billions after 3 years. I am just interested to keep it going and see how it works and to maintain the code base.

The reason we switched to proof of stake is to reward more people to stake (keep their coins) instead of simply just mining. Most people nowadays just mine, dump and move on. We never wanted that thing. But most of the damage was already done due to proof of work and literally dump all the coins from these miners. We used the same reward scarcity model like in bitcoin. Right now, WebDollar almost (not even) 3 years old. WebDollar right now is early 2011 of Bitcoin when bitcoin was literally less than $1. The main reason why bitcoin was less than 1 buck and WebDollar price is so low, is because of the miners who mined a large quantity of coins and dumping these coins. Only a handful of people were interested into holding these coins.

about 2 years, WebDollar was still 33% PoW and only 66% Proof of Stake. We switched to 90% proof of stake in july last year.

These days, there was a consensus in our community to change the reward curve from Bitcoin model into our own model. Namely next month, we will have our first "halving" which will be a 1/4 drop in the reward and 1/2 halving every 2 years. This will drastically reduce the newly minted coins to the miners.

Regarding https://webd.timi.ro . It is an Exchange created by a community member. It is not WebDollar but an exchange a business. Most crypto exchanges have affiliate marketing.  To best of my knowledge most of them have including Kraken, BitMEX, OKEx, Poloniex, etoro, etc. The 10% is given by the exchange owner due to the fact the prices are increased and created this affiliate program. https://www.digitalfodder.com/bitcoin-cryptocurrency-affiliate-programs/


We tried to be as decentralized as possible.

Decentralized network. We own only one node in the network for backup. There are 60+ nodes community driven nodes. Checked
Open source project on github. We had over 20+ contribuitors and every single pull request was merged. Checked
DAO - decentralized autonomous organization. The Organization was on telegram and compltely made by volunteers and they created their own teams, etc. Checked.

I am totally frank with you. The only difference between us and Bitcoin is that we premined 9.9% of coins - 6% for the developers and 4% for the marketing. But you know what? Satoshi Nakamoto pre-mined Bitcoin as well as he mined solo about 1.5 million bitcoin. https://danhedl.medium.com/bitcoins-distribution-was-fair-e2ef7bbbc892 Due to our switch to proof of stake our stake got higher and we used the staking to reduce the inflation. But again, proof of stake was not intended, but we simply found that the mining is an entire industry only for money grabbers. Expecting the developers to work for free so that they can sell the newly created the coins.

It is clear that you have something with us and you hate us. Looking only price wise. It is ok. "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

We might create a DPOS model in the future but it will require all users to create a special transaction to delegate their funds to a pool (forger) which will forge on their behalf.

Can you give us a few more details of that implies? What are the risks of this operation and why is it needed? Also, with DPoS will staking be possible with encrypted wallets?

Besides all these, are you going to do something for improving the popularity of this coin? 90% PoS is a great improvement, but as long as this cryptocurrency is transacted daily in 50-100$ amounts everything seems to be in vain. Two days ago I saw a 1650% pump followed by a 1600% dump.


Can you give us a few more details of that implies? What are the risks of this operation and why is it needed? Also, with DPoS will staking be possible with encrypted wallets?

Delegated Proof of Stake allows staking with encrypted wallets as you "delegate" your stakes to some one who will use it to forge new blocks.

As long as there isn't any detail about what they meant with these, you can expect everything from a developers team which officially ignores its BitcoinTalk vommunity -- a community gathered right here, in this very thread.

Your explanation is reasonable, but you can't know for sure what's in their mind and they don't seem too interested about security. For example, staking can be done only with unencrypted wallets. PoW works with encrypted wallets though, but PoW revenues are just 10%. Why is PoS possible only with unencrypted wallets? To be able to lose your funds more easy?

There are two reasons why. Most proof of stake coins (not delegated proof of stake coins) require users to be online and their wallet must be unlocked. See NXT. WebDollar is Proof of Stake not DPOS (Delegated proof of stake). The advantage of pure POS despite of DPOS is that it creates more security for the network as more people have to be online to stake and you can stake without spending coins (example the delegate/change delegate special transactions).

Most Bitcointalk core developers don't use BitcoinTalk as far as I know that often.  Some of them use IRC to discuss specifics things. To be honest, most talks on BitcoinTalk are just pure marketing to other projects, pure opinions about price, off topic questions, etc. It is also called Bitcoin Talk, I haven't seen so many Ethereum/EOS developers using BitcoinTalk to talk over here. Also, I don't see very often Bitcoin developers talking about code here. They usually use GitHub to comment about pull requests and open issues on github to report issues.

As a project, we found it is easier to discuss on Telegram, Facebook, Github and other social channels. We have over 10,000 people on telegram, and we have over than 10 different groups on telegram. Cheers

Webdollar.io (OP), AlexandruPanait (general manager) and Marius G (dev) were last seen online in April - June 2019.

It is hard to believe this project is still ongoing.


Satoshi Nakamoto last seen in 12.12.2010... 10 years ago? It is hard to believe this project called Bitcoin is still ongoing. The reason why Bitcoin is still around it is because it is decentralized and open source.

Regarding your question, we don't use too much bitcointalk. Too much stuff going on here. We use telegram and GitHub. The network is up and running for more than 3 years. WebDollar it is decentralized and open source as well. In the last past months we have been focusing on building a decentralized and anonymous peer to peer exchange. Still some work has to be done.

Hey guys! I've just uploaded a video on my youtube channel explaining the IOTA Trinity Wallet Attack. Hopefully my explanation can be understood by non-techies just like you and non-experienced crypto users  Cheesy. I think you will find it interesting. Especially understanding how the attack happen to the IOTA and why the IOTA devs believe it could be a insider job from MoonPay. I also explained what could be the next steps after the attack. More, I also discussed a little bit how to be safe in the crypto world. Hopefully you will find my video interesting. Let me know if you would like more content about IOTA on my tech channel https://youtu.be/DK3UkjfYfyI

Now there is no staking, just  POW mining. For you to be in only one pool use the  pool long link and don't choose the pool from the drop-down table in consensus (webdollar.io). (check Telegram for full list of long links of pools)
When POS will be added, as it will be hybrid, you will have to stake your WEBDs in order to participate in the process. But in the same time for the POW blocks you will also be able to mine like you do now with CPUs.
The percentage of POS blocks was discussed to be 20 followed by 10 POW blocks, and so on.

Any infos on when the PoS will be implemented? More, will it be possible to leave the wallet open for PoS while avoiding to produce PoW?

Be being an open source project and community based, we no longer want to give deadlines for certain features. There are no deadlines in big projects like Bitcoin, Ethereum etc... Moreover, we didn't have any ICO. Indeed the Proof of Stake test net branch allows you to mine POS and POW separately. You can exclude one mining or another one. POS will work from browser directly.

De ieri seara si pana azi-dimineata la 6-7, cei de pe Webdollar Experimental Pool au minat in fork.
Mai e cel putin un pool care mineaza in fork, complet desincronizat. Infinity Pool
se desfiinteaza (erau si-asa prea multe, nu?). Si ca din PoW, algoritmul va trece la PoW + PoS in speranta
ca se va mai diminua reward-ul pe ferme. Minez webd de trei luni si vad ca INCA e cam vraiste proiectul...
Cred ca e un efort care depaseste puterile echipei. In fine, ar trebui acordata mai multa atentie minerilor,
pentru ca ei sunt cei care vor da valoare si monedelor pre-minate. Dar PR-ul lasa mult de dorit. "Anuntam in
social-media" spun membrii echipei. Care din ele? FB / Twitter / Telegram / Forum / ...? Bai baieti, stabiliti
odata un canal unic de comunicatie! Pentru ca informatiile reale de care avem nevoie practic le aflam unii de
la altii noi, minerii. Apropo de forumul webdollar.io, are bug-uri mari. Si echipa nici nu prea raspunde la
postari.

Sunt doar cateva din problemele care umbresc reusita webd...


We are one of a couple international projects which developed an entire blockchain technology from scratch. The entire source code was developed from scratch. Moreover, we developed everything with 0 funding. As Satoshi, we are holding our coins not selling them for the next XX years. PoW vs PoS. PoW is spending a lot of electricity to reward a random miner with the coins giving him the chance to mine the next block. That's all what PoW does. Nothing else. We didn't choose Proof of Work for security, but for marketing reasons. We aimed that if we do a CPU based mining coin, more and more miners will be interested to promote the project, but it looks like only a handful of people actually promoted the project for many reasons like trying to mine much for themselves and specifically not sharing with others because the competition would grow and not promoting it and many more like this.  I don't think Satoshi Nakamoto or Hal Finney (real Satoshi Nakamoto) did marketing, did talk etc. but rather the community. Even more, Bitcoin had many screw ups including an exploit that generated on main blockchain 91 billion coins read here https://www.coindesk.com/9-biggest-screwups-bitcoin-history/

Hi . I expect this plan will be success and can be reached the hard cap of Token Sales.

Hi grounlupseo. There are no tokens. WebDollar is a cryptocurrency itself, with its own Blockchain. There were no tokens issues, there was no ICO or presale. Cheers  Cool

TakeItEasy, WebRTC is to allow peer to peer connections directly in the browser, to enable a trustless coin, otherwise we wouldn't discuss on bitcointalk if we don't want trustless coins.

The blockchain is not recording any of that information, you are referring. In the blockchain, nobody records the IP, geoip location (which is not even precise it has an error of about 400 km), username, etc resolution. If you want to mine anonymously (because this is what you were referring, you can use a VPN). One of our devs, was also working on an anonymous VPN miner you can access at https://WebDollarVPN.io Moreover, if you mine in a mining pool, you are pretty much anonymous to the entire network.

The task is really difficult for web developers, because at the moment Web applications can not communicate with an Internet protocol that is not native to the browser or the HTTP layer.

Exactly, mostly because all other blockchain use sockets and their own TCP/IP protocol, while WebDollar is using HTTP/HTTPS as an internet protocol to communicate with browsers.  Moreover, WebDollar also has integrated WebRTC to allow the communication between two browsers directly.

I really like your website webdollar.io, but he's just working very slow, perhaps a problem with the hosting. It`s worth paying attention to it!

Thanks!  The website webdollar.io is fully consensus to in order to become consensus you download a lot of data and your CPU is using a lot of power to validate the proofs in order to become trust-less   Cool

Terminals are the safest way, but don't forget to encrypt your wallet! Also, Browser wallets are safe because they are stored on your computer, but don't forget to encrypt the wallet with a strong password that is stored in your brain. I personally didn't encrypt my wallet and somebody took it from my computer....  Roll Eyes

Interesting! What consensus are you using? Any ICO? Any CPU or minimum computer requirements?

The Blockchain was developed from scratch on our GitHub https://github.com/WebDollar/Node-WebDollar We have over 14 contribuitors. The conesnsus is 40 seconds, proof of work.

We didn't held any ICO or any pre-sale.

A modest computer, and for running a full node over 1.5 gb ram. We will fix this as we load the entire blockchain in RAM for the moment.
