Re: Bitcointalk Ranking-up pipeline- Those close to their next rank (lacking Merits)
I would suggest that someone look at the post history of this member and that we finally promote him in Legendary rank because he has been a member of the forum since 2015, and although he is not a top poster, he is one of the few from that period who is still a Hero member. If memory serves me well, he wrote somewhere that he was one of those who had no luck with the merit system (it was introduced only a few weeks before they were supposed to become Legendary).
LoL - I'm here from early 2014 and I'm still a Senior Member - merit system kicked in 4 days before I'd become Hero.
Even though the idea of a merit system made sense back in the days because of the inflated bounty campaigns of the ICO craze age, now the enduring merit system has turned the forum into a caste system, which is what has turned me away.
Re: [ANN] Bancor | Protocol for Smart-tokens, solving the liquidity problem
Any clues on when Bancor v3 is going to be released?
Will v3 address the problem of the outrageously high fees that LPs currently have to pay to use the platform?

Lately I can't move ZEN out the Nano Ledger any more - not even sending them to other addfresses on the Ledger - in the moment of approving the transaction it gets stuck. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Any ideas?
Re: [ANN] Bancor | Protocol for Smart-tokens, solving the liquidity problem
I have tried to stake some BNT as Single-Sided Liquidity chosing a moment of the day when gas fees are relatively low (70 gwei) and nevertheless gas fees for the transaction would have cost me 85$ - so I had to abort it. How much BNT must you stake at once so that staking becomes profitable instead of being just a waste of money?
Re: Bitcointalk Ranking-up pipeline- Those close to their next rank (lacking Merits)
This thread is is an excellent initiative, but alas not sufficient to repair the damage done to the forum by the merit system. In time it has proven to be very divisive. I agree it was a necessary measure in the time of the ICO craze and the swarms of locusts which were spamming the forum with background noise because of signature campaigns. But I remember that Theymos had thought that the merit system would produce on average almost one merit for each decent post, so it would not be an obstacle for normal people to rank up, but alas this didn't happen. As a consequence, we're having now a forum where the ranking has turned into a division in castes, which as I said is very divisive.
Personally I can't stand communities divided in castes, I don't care about hierarchies - but castes are really annoying to me. It's good that you try to fix a broken system but there would be the need of a legion of people like you. When the merit system was introduced - exactly three years ago - I was 4 days away to become Hero Member, even though I had been a member old enough (a member since February 2014) to be already Legendary - but most of the time I'd read other people posts but not enter into discussions - this is why I didn't rank up, and in fact I didn't care about the ranking issue at all. And even though I continue not to care, I can't unsee this division in castes, which is why I'm not taking part to many discussions here any more.
Good luck with your initiative!

Re: Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments
I've been a fan of Obyte for over 3 years now, and it surely is one of the most interesting projects out there.
However, I still have doubts about its resilience. It should be government-resistant.
What would happen if a government would sent 12 agents to take care of the 12 Order Providers simulaneously? Could it bring down the network and maybe rewrite the history of the DAG?
I hope not, but I'd need to hear a convincing answer on why not. It's a question that deserves an answer.

Obyte is tyrannic government resistant, which means that unless all governments suddenly agree on something, there is no danger. The breaking point is actually 6-7 Order Providers, not 12 because if you take 6 out then there is no longer majority. If they take out 7 then they have the majority.
Getting all the governments suddenly co-operate with each other and agree on something like that is quite far fetched, especially when there is nothing illegal in what the full nodes are doing. Today, we no longer have majority of Order Proviers in one jurisdiction, so Obyte doesn't have a single-point failure https://stats.obyte.org/witnesses.php
If 6 governments indeed get simultaneously agents to knock on doors of 6 Order Providers then which judges are going to sign that? These 6 people should all have to be breaking some law for the agents to break in. So, Obyte is not in danger if one of the governments loses it's mind or one of the Order Providers is accused in something criminal. Running a full node is not criminal, posting transactions on cryptocurrency platform is not criminal either. Order Providers don't decide whose transaction is valid or not, the whole network does. Bitcoin is protected against same thing - multiple governments going mad, but Bitcoin miners actually decide whose transactions get confirmed, Obyte Order Providers doesn't. https://medium.com/obyte/from-blockchain-to-dag-getting-rid-of-middlemen-28afa7563545
In terms of what will happen if government seizes the machines, if it's even located in the same place as the Order Provider himself - the worst thing they can do is shut the machines down because if there is no majority of Order Providers posting anymore, no new transactions will get stable (confirmed). People could still post new transactions, but the part of the DAG with unstable transactions will not become stable. They could also modify the code and post transactions out of order, but that would just signal everyone that Order Provider is acting bad. They can't change the history, that's blockchain feature, not Obyte's.
If they somehow would get hands on majority of Order Providers (7) and make those post transactions out of order then that would just break the whole network and the community would need to hard-fork.
There is more about exact this thing on Obyte blog https://medium.com/obyte/dag-vs-blockchain-6d2d99f10bd9
I'm late in answering because I was away from the forum - sorry for that.
You mention judges and governments agreeing among them - come on, this is not the real world. Should Obyte succeed in the extremely unlikely task of becoming the new N.1 because "it's better than Bitcoin" and should it somehow endanger the fiat banking system it would take just seven hitmen for the banksters to get the job done in one single day and if the community forks the project it only means the hitmen would have to be hired for another day or two (according to how many times the community will insist to fork). We're not discussing the "why" should they want to do that - of course as long as Obyte is a little project nobody will care. But if you are planning a platform which has to be better than Bitcoin, it must also possess at least the same resilience. Pushing the problem under the rug is not a solution. It's the only technical (big) flaw I see in an otherwise excellent and still deeply undervalued project.
BTW look at the John McAfee case, he has been imprisoned in Spain for the "crime" of not having filed for taxes... in the USA - LoL, that tell you everything on how what's only matters on earth is power, not rules.

Re: [ANN] Bancor | Protocol for Smart-tokens, solving the liquidity problem
I still didn't receive $ETHBNT for the BNT I was holding on Binance at the time of the airdrop snapshot. Binance has been supporting the airdrop, so anyone knows anything on what is going on there?
Yes, their snapshot was later than the Bancor one. If you moved it in the time frame between both snaps you will not get the airdrop.
I didn't move the BNT from Binance to this day. Did anyone already receive the $ETHBNT airdrop from Binance?

Re: MY BLOCKCHAIN WALLET WAS HACKED JUST NOW $820,000 STOLEN!! HELP!!!
Nature has created two main ways for living beings to learn things, pleasure and pain. Pleasure should be our favourite choice, but each time we don't do our homework then plan b steps is - and that is pain.
It looks like you have taken the second learning route this round.
The bad news: you won't recover your loss.
The good news: you've learned something very important, even though at a really high price - take care of your funds, store them in a safe hardware wallet or in a paper wallet.
The marginal news: Almost everyone in crypto has sooner or later paid the bitter price of not having done their homework (me included). What makes a difference is the way one uses these lessons.
EDIT: Reading the latest posts it seems the story may be a fabricated one. In this case I'd have made a mistake, and waisted 5 minutes of my life. Well, I'll take this lesson

Re: [ANN] Introducing Neuralium - the green, fair and universal post-quantum token!
I see on Telegram that the trials of the testnets are proceeding fine - even though for longer than expected. It would be good to post regular updates also on this forum. Otherwise part of the community could lose track of Neuralium which is a pity since Neuralium currently looks as an extremely promising project.

I have to give my Iphone to Apple assistence for changing the battery, and I'm having an attested multisig wallet on the iphone - which of course I wouldn't like lo lose. Of course I'd empty that address containing bytes, but how to avoid that some rogue Apple employee makes a backup of the wallet for himself? One solution seemed to backup the wallet and erase Obyte entirely, but after I've made the backup I didn't find any way to restore it since iphone cannot locate the file.
Is therefore the Obyte app for Iphone actually useless, since you'll have to delete it with all its addresses first time you need to change the phone's battery?

You can set the "Request password" from "Spending Restrictions" section on Settings screen, then they can clone your wallet, but they won't be able to do much with it.
Restoring the backup should be in the same places where making the backup is, in the app on Settings screen. Make sure you have the latest version because earlier iOS versions didn't have fully fleshed out backup system, but it should work on recent systems. Try to save the backup in folder that can be accessed.
Thanks. Since by now my phone is already in their hands, with just emptied wallets, would it work all the same if I'll password protect the wallet later, before loading it again with coins? Would a backup of an unprotected wallet stay unprotected? IE is the password protection local or dag stored, affecting that address wherever it is?
As for the backup, we are talking about Iphone, not Android, I'm not aware of any folder you can access on Iphone. Before giving an answer you should have tried it successfully yourself. I have tried it for almost an hour, without any success. So either there is a way - in which case I'd like to read a precise tutorial - or there is no way, in which case you'd better remove the backup function from the Ios wallet.

Re: | STRATIS | The first blockchain developed for businesses |Full POS
Any news about when the cold staking will go live? Do you think that coold staking could lead to an even bigger price suppression as the new stakers might dump their staked coins?
Sooner or later the price will rise again, anyway, IF big companies in the real world will start to seriously use the Stratis platform.

Re: Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments
Most of the activity is on Discord now. A couple of news that we didn't cross-post to this forum yet:
1. Fabien Marino added to witness list of Obyte default hub

https://medium.com/obyte/fabien-marino-added-to-witness-list-of-obyte-default-hub-5e57865e04bc
It is good that new witnesses are added, but I guess nobody knows these people who are now becoming witnesses. This is not a problem as such, but if I remember well there was once upon a time the idea that also big institutions would partecipate as witnesses (or perhaps this was just in my mind)
Given that times are not mature for that, did you consider trying to get on board as a witness also people who are well known and trusted in the crypto community?
For example Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance, who has emerged as one of the quite respected leaders of this space, and has always shown interest towards new projects with new and interesting technology.
As for most of the activity being on Discord that's a pity, since Discord doesn't really leave a quite immutable trail of the history of the discussions like here on BCT. Best place would be a BCT moderated thread, so that any garbage can be filtered out but the meaningful discussions remain and can be read also in future.
Re: Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments
Such a pity this thread has been spoiled by Newbie/Junior fudders, who are adding so much background noise to the thread so that any meaningful content is lost.
I'm still wearing the old Byteball signature, and so are others. It would be useful and appropriate if someone would prepare new signatures with the new name, though.
