10x is perfectly possible. Last year (2017) the bitcoin price run up almost 20x. So it is not surprising if 10x actually happen.

Is this project alive? I see no activity on github for several months.

Yes we are actively developing the coin, see above messages.

Not if your dev is a scammer who doesn't care to answer legitimized questions even if its asked like three times. He choose to ignore or pretend he doesn't see them. Makes you wonder what his real intentions are. Dont hype this coin if the dev cant even answer some normal questions about transparency, identity and development while he claims to so much experience with no means to verify anything of his statements

Come on, you have the right to post whatever you like, and dev has right to choose not to reply to you, i don't see anything wrong with it. No need to post in bold red like a crying baby.

My observation is that dev answers all reasonable questions regarding the coin and its development. But your questions to the dev are really this: (1) who are you exactly, reveal your real name and identity (2) what do you do with premine? give us details.

Dev choose not to reply to you, and clearly he does not want to publish his real name, he thinks there's no such need. He did not do an ICO (even with ICOs so many kept anonymous), he has no obligation to do it. For premine usage, he stated clearly in the front page. There's no need to say more on it. Yes he may sell some, but if the coin is going on well, what is the problem? I am sure he hold most for long term development. He's clearly not dumping it, judging by the price pattern (I've seen many scam coins being dumped once hit the exchange, clearly by the dev with premines). For the development, he's been doing it, we see from time to time new releases and bug fixes.

I am happy with the coin and holding it, I have trust on the dev for his commitment. If you don't feel comfortable, then find another coin you feel comfortable. Asking these questions won't make you go anywhere, if I were the dev, I'd choose to ignore them too.
 

THIS ^^

You only have to look at github to see the devs have done a good job and aren't just pumping some shitcoin. Development has been slow, but Rome wasn't built in a day.

I think this coin has a lot of potential - you only have to look at XZC and ZEC to see that zero knowledge coins are very popular.

Are u githubbed or what? Yes their account does show a few commits but is this even relevant? Since they made their password and username public everyone can log in to their account and commit to the project, Ive done this several times, have contributed to their open source initiative and now wanna know who and why changed github password.

Did we ever make our github username/password public? will you try to login to it, what a joke.

Only dev team has access to our github and can update code. Other people can make pull requests and contribute to the codes, but it is up to the dev to decide whether to include the contribution or not.

Just a few words about the questions people ask about our identity and premine. We won't further comment on that in the future.

(1). We will not publish our identities at this time. Period.
Why? because there's no need. We will continue support the coin as we promised. We don't think publish our name, picture, and linkedin profiles etc will change anything. In the past, there are people who publish that (mainly ICO for easy money, and some are even fake ones). In long run it does not increase credibility to the team at all (if you don't agree, just browse the history of this forum, especially the altcoin announcement and have some fun).

(2). Premine. We opted premine as opposed to ICO/CFC for a reason, and it is stated in the front page. The usage of premine is stated clearly. There's no need to publish the details here. This is the way and if you don't like it, then please find another coin that you feel more comfortable.

Hope we clarified the above two items. From this point on, all questions related to them will be ignored.

We confirm our long term support for the coin, and we hope the community can help by providing new ideas and suggestions to make the coin better. We are working on adding new features. But as we all have our regular jobs, we do this at our spare time and it could be a bit slow sometimes, so please bear with us. Hope together, we will grow this coin and make it much better in the futture.

Wallet seems to stuck at sync for over an hour. Is this tested on Win 10 x64?

at which block it stuck?

Wallet was tested for Win7/8. There was no issue for Win 10 in the past. If you still see the problem, you can goto the config dir, delete everything EXCEPT wallet.dat (remember DO NOT delete wallet.dat), then start client again, you should sync from scratch.

If you still see problems, please post here.

Wallet seems to stuck at sync for over an hour. Is this tested on Win 10 x64?

at which block it stuck?

From the very beginning. It's at 0% and 20 weeks behind.

If you stuck at 0% possibly you don't have connections...

Also I found that our sync server is down, I restarted it so the wallet should connect to it. Please try again to sync, it should be ok.

Beware guys, there is a posibility that the wallet contains malware:

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/fc2f35a6f7811268ad5d4973906d5e4ff3b99d93095b61add103fd5f5405fa2f/analysis/1489520540/

13/58 flags seems to much for me. It's malware or it's really bad coded.

As monocolor previously posted, what you saw is probably due to the problem that the longer the executable stays, the more problems totalvirus detects. Some other coins reported the same issue.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1691086.msg18330527#msg18330527

I just did a compilation, and run the totalvirus check, it shows this:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/c2961dce61cd46d83aa14ca80bab42ba2de8371d958ca4810691d56c114a0425/analysis/

https://s22.postimg.org/bujorj541/Capture.png

it has 3 reported bitcoin-miner (which is normal, as we included miner in the client), and one "heuristic" which usually does not mean anything. If you don't feel comfortable using the pre-compiled clients, please compile yourself from the source, you can inspect the source at github.

Some questions have been asked on the GUI work for the untraceable transactions. Same question was asked at Kurrent slack and was answered there. Let me give a status of this work and thoughts on it.

The original idea is this: in order to send untraceable coins, these are the steps needed now and can be done manually:
- mint the needed coins to zerocoin
- wait certain amount
- spend zerocoins, new Kurrents are generated with unrelated addresses
- send these newly generated coins to destination

the idea is to combine these steps together, so people can click on one untraceable send button, instead of going through all the steps above.

Unfortunately there are two issues here:

1. each mint/spend takes a few seconds to complete, and sometimes you have to wait a few moments in order to spend the zerocoins. This is because the zerocoin process involves some intensive processing, which takes time. This is internal in zerocoin, we don't want to mess around with zerocoin core. To make the matter worse, we can't convert any amount to zerocoin, it is only allowed to mint and spend with 1, 10, 25, 50, 100. Therefore, to send 17 coins, you'll have to mint 8 times (10 + 7x1) and spend similarly. The time delay becomes significant and makes this feature unusable.

2. To send something like 28.12 coins, you'll need to mint 29 or 30 coins, which makes the management of untraceable coins complex.

With these reasons, this feature will not be completed in Q1 timeframe (we will update our plan). We are debating if this feature is practical at all, or if so a batch process is making sense or not. We are also looking for other interesting features and would like suggestions from the community.

One thing is certain, this team is committed to long term support and development of the coin. We try our best to find time to develop new features (remember we all have daily jobs and sometimes quite busy at work). We hope the community will support us and let's make Kurrent a much better coin together.

New release 1.2.

This is mandatory upgrade, which fixes the bug from ZCoin (https://zcoin.io/language/en/important-announcement-zerocoin-implementation-bug/).

We also added more checkpoints to make our network more secure.

Please upgrade as soon as possible, to avoid issues.

Source code updated, and here is the link of the windows client http://kurrentproject.com/kurrent_win.rar

Again this is a mandatory upgrade.

Best Regards

Re: 🌟 ICOBID ICO 🌟 UNIQUE CROWDSALE THAT INVESTORS WILL RECEIVE BACK IN BITCOIN 🌟
by

on 25/12/2016, 20:48:44 UTC
lol, this is just a trick from dev to trick you guys "the investor", it is so simple: for level 1 members, the dev team will get about 90% proceeds, level 2, dev got 70%, level 3 dev got 40%. Now if you are level 3, you pay more, sounds like you will get more, but no. Although you get equivalent 60% from others (4x2.5 + 4x5 + 4x7.5), but most of these are small potatoes, you get only possibly 1% of what you paid. Dev will likely get 90% of your contribution. If you invest 0.02BTC, you may get more if next 4 has a big fish.

Given the ICOBID itself has nothing, this ICO is like a gambling game, with small amount (0.02) may worth it, with bit ones (>1) is a definite loser. I will avoid it, better go to Casino for a much fair game Smiley

Good analysis. Can be a small gamble with 0.02-0.05 BTCs, is certainly not worth anything more than that. It is a dev's get-rich-quick scheme.

I have to praise the "dev" with those deceiving and very original ideas, they may cheat a few people but certainly they don't cheat intelligent people  Smiley

This looks like one of the better coins. I like privacy and zero knowledge coin. Would be good if it is useful in daily shopping or other real life usage.

these scams are scary, I hope some laws have established early so it will be more regulated. Now it seems like a wild west, people just invent all sorts of scams without really being punished.
