I think there's still more big BTCD holders who couldn't exit due to shortage on liquidity in BTCD.
10K BTCD is less than 1 % of total BTCD supply and I don't think that is a serious exit in a coin with 1M market cap.
If you go to Bittrex Beta, you can see top 50 BTCD holders (in Bittrex).
https://beta.bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-BTCD
There was a wallet with little more than 10K which is gone by now and I think that's who exited few days ago.
And 25% loss of value is not that meaningful as major trade took place on pretty much usual price range (around 0.004).

I just hope that usual daily trading volume for BTCD stays at 20 BTC so that quitters can quit and new comers can join without worrying / being bothered about their entry/exit.
Anyway, quitters will keep quitting while devs will keep developing and when both are done, I believe that price will soar higher.

Devs or other BTCDers will help you.

It won't take short, but it will take less than (my) expectation.

I talked to Azeh on Slack and it seems that substantial part of InstantDEX is developed (which I thought none has done yet) although there will be some testing period.

It is actually more about not enough buying power, not whale's dumping; if someone dumps 1 % of Total BTCD in a day, the market will be doomed.
I don't know why only BTCD is not coupling with other SuperNET assets, which are doing very well and reacting accordingly to good news/media coverage.
In my theory, it is just a vicious circle:

BTCD has been hidden behind NXT & UNITY -> Potential SuperNET buyers will buy NXT or UNITY instead of BTCD -> Less buying support -> Down trend in price -> BTCD becomes less attractive -> Potential SuperNET buyers will buy NXT or UNITY instead of BTCD -> ...

But as long as BTCD stays with SuperNET and current development plan is kept, it should rise and fall with SuperNET.
SuperNET hasn't fully launched yet so you can take advantage of current low price as a chance to buy low, if you believe in the future of SuperNET.
However, cryptocurrency in general hasn't been doing very well these days and you should be willing to bear for the long haul, which doesn't guarantee happy ending.
All in all, it depends on your risk-appetite and perspectives on BTCD.

Hi, I am interested in using your website for trading, but I have few questions about it.

1) Is your website backed by actual fund? If you, how much is it?

2) Are you actually put orders as a broker or are you keeping logs of orders and calculating p/l of your customers accordingly?

3) Do you have any plan for adding oil and other commodities to your market?

Thanks

Is there any difference between adding additional nodes and not adding them when it comes to staking?
Thanks

0.004 has been psychological support for several months and exodus seems to begin as it is broken.
One of the Top 50 rich wallet holder sold his share and wonder how many more will leave if it went below 0.003 or 0.0025.
At least, I am glad to see there's enough buying power to take 10K dumping.
I will hold onto this coin until next Sumter at least unless some serious problem pops out.
There is no fundamental change for BTCD, but ambitious promises haven't kept.
I think that's why many ran out of patience, but that's totally understandable as 1 month in Alt coin world feels like longer than 1 year in stock market.
Hope I can get some chance to get more coins at bargain price when the market crashes.

Plummeting like this was going to happen anyway as there is no buying support while there's no intriguing news, at least to potential buyers, for BTCD.
Good new is current buying support is so thin that all big coin holders won't get out unless they decide to give up money by selling into this thin wall.
Those who become interested in SuperNET will buy UNITY or NXT, not BTCD at this moment.
I assume this trend will persist until there's some really good news for BTCD.
Personally, I will hold onto this to see how SuperNET will turn out, but won't expect trend reversal in favor of me.

I check the rich list I posted sometimes and there's pretty much no change in top 50, which accounts for 60% of total BTCD.

Considering some 5K-split wallets, more than 2/3 of total BTCD supply stay still and thus, it is not that hard for 1 trading bot to manipulate the price.

IMHO, price staying behind is nothing to do with lack of development or something, it is more due to lack of interest in BTCD.

I can see many things are going on in Slack so I believe that the price will go up once BTCD gets some momentum, but it's hard to forecast when it will happen.

That's why I am just staking at the moment.

So I have looked up the SuperNET and NXT newsletters recently and got some questions.

So BTCD will be used as reference currency on InstaDEX and that is one of the main pitch for BTCD, other than Teleport and Tradebot.

I personally think that Teleport will draw good attention but I am not sure about InstaDEX and Tradebot.

Is there any perk of using InstaDEX or BTCD as reference currency?

It is true that being a reference currency can be good for that currency as there will be more demand for that.

However, LTC and Doge have also used as reference currency, but the volume is pretty much nothing compared to BTC's volume.

This is especially true when you trade some coins directly with BTC or other more popular currencies.

I would be glad if I could get an answer for my questions.

Thanks

Yeah, that is true. I just did this for fun. Looking at some 10K or 5K wallets, it seems that some big whale split this share into many relatively small wallets.

Yeah I was also curious about that. Maybe they are tokens?

Just for fun, I calculated some numbers from BITCOINDARK (BTCD) RICH LIST – TOP 500 (http://explorebtcd.info/bitcoindark-btcd-rich-list-top-500/)

Great news!

Will be looking forward to it.

I have ran the same wallet on several computers and had similar problems.
I exactly followed the instruction, but ended up failing at syncing.
I succeeded by copying the exact files from my other rig which was successfully syncing.
But above option is not available for many new BTCDers.
I suggest dev making installer which will set up syncing conf file.
The single biggest problem that cause online retailers to lose money is simple failures during check out.
I think we might lose many new BTCDers due to frustrations while syncing their wallets.
I know many people help newcomers setting up, but it would be nicer if there's a simpler way.

I tried Westhash and it works fine.
By the way, for those who live in East coast, USA, which one would be better, westhash or nicehash?
Thanks

Hi, I am not sure if this will be enough info, but this is what I got from antminer page.

cgminer --bitmain-options 115200:32:8:18:225:0882 -o stratum+tcp://Betarigs -O ID:PW -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3334 -O ID:PW -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -O ID:PW --api-listen --api-network --bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --version-file /usr/bin/compile_time --queue 4096

I am running rigs in two different places and rigs at the other place runs fine although I don't have enough time to confirm (just set up 1 hr ago).
The other thing is it used to be fine until yesterday.

Same thing happened to me when I decided to update to 11/26 ver.
Hash rate dropped a lot so I returned to 10/26 ver, which runs fine

Thanks for response.
I haven't set #xnsub and it worked fine until yesterday...

Total hash rate of Nice Hash + BetaRigs combined is less than 1.5 PH/s which is less than 1% of total BTC hash rate and there is no change at all in btc hash rate.
Not even close
