With Bittrex you need to authorize the withdrawal from the email they send you. Did you authorize the withdrawal by clicking on the link in the email?

So are the coins that were on that server/wallet permanently lost with no way to recover them?

We are waiting on POS which is supposed to happen around the 400000 block. I don't know about the electrum wallet. What you are saying is interesting because I had no idea that the electrum wallet was something that needs to be turned on or off. It doesn't sound very decentralized. I'm glad I downloaded the windows wallet, but I hope there is some resolution for your account.

I don't know how active the community is because it is very small. But I certainly would like to see your problem resolved. I have a large stake in this coin and I have not heard from the developer what, if anything, he is needing at this time. Your coin stake is very important to me and I want to see this issue resolved if it can be. I realize you want this resolved as soon as possible, but unfortunately with this stuff the technology is pretty much dominated by programmers. This can be difficult when what one needs is customer service.

Rest assured that your concern is also shared by myself. I think you have been very generous with your patience and I hope we will hear something soon.

I am thinking about using a cloud service to run a Bata wallet 24/7 after we switch to POS. Is that possible to do? If so, how could one do that?

This brings about so many questions.

Can I set it up to for Tor or I2P? Should I use a VPN?

I want to create a reliable, dedicated part of the network (a node?). I would also like to contribute to anonymity if possible. I don't mind paying a monthly rental fee for my cloud server as long as it isn't too much. I also may need some advice on making the server/wallet secure.

I think the key to success with Bata (or any crypto) is going to revolve around the ease of user experience. What seems easy to experienced crypto users may seem confusing or difficult to new users.

1. Getting a Bata wallet. A wallet is not a normal or common piece of software. People also have had the dangerous experience of downloading malware and may be hesitant to download something unfamiliar. Getting Bata needs to be simple and must have non-software options for using a wallet. Preferably something like an electrum wallet that can be accessed through a browser like a bank account. If they can get that far then the next step would be to download a wallet. Wallet user interface needs to be redesigned--simple, simple, simple. Think Google.

2. Buying Bata. Buying any cryptocurrency is a learning curve that NEEDS to be reduced. It took some time for me to discover Coinbase. I also had one of the last transactions from coin.mx. After purchasing some bitcoin on coin.mx the owner of the company was arrested later that day and the site was shut down. That was a close one! An easier and safer way of obtaining Bata MUST be designed.

3. Safer transactions. Imagine you send some cryptocurrency to a wrong address. "OOPS, accidentally typed the wrong letter. Oh well, gone forever." That is totally unacceptable. There absolutely needs to be a confirmation of delivery or the currency should automatically be returned.

4. Thrilling use. The idea that drugs and other illegal stuff can actually be bought with cryptocurrency makes cryptocurrency seem exciting. Ideally it would be a similar thrilling use of Bata (without the drugs and illegal stuff) which will capture people's imaginations. Requiring an exclusive use of Bata will also ensure success. Perhaps the barter system will be that application. But we should be open to others.

What are the communities thoughts of the Barter System being funded by external investors?

I have too little information about the barter system to form an opinion.

We are approaching the final stages of POW, 50000 Blocks before reaching 400K.

Get your stash now, before the rush and hold.

Will keep you posted.

Not much interest here. Not quite sure to make of it.

Enlighten me.

This coin really has nothing going for it but your presence. The github is stale, there's nothing but a "functioning" blockchain. To expect people to use the coin for purposes of I2p/Tor is simply not enough really. While your "marketing", if you will, is not bad, there has not been many real selling points for people to garner interest in it.

From a value perspective it's a "cheap blockchain" with "active dev" - but what has been done, really? Alt.Report gave this a D for lacking innovation amongst other things, and nothing has changed since.

Money is best invested in individuals who are highly creative. I guess it is up to those of us who have invested in this coin to innovate. Speaking of which, I would like to brainstorm and throw out some ideas and get some feedback on them. Is this forum the best place to do that? Or is it preferred to do that in a different location?

I'm pretty sure that people are holding on to BTC due to the price rise. It has gone up over $100 per bitcoin in a short time. If one sells their BTC now and then BTC hits $1000, they will feel like they missed out. Probably not going to see much action in Bata until BTC normalizes a bit. Might even get a price spike if BTC plunges.

Not much can be done about it at this time. BTC is the 800 lb. gorilla right now.

I'm looking forward to helping build this coin and community.

I really like the Tor and i2p options. I don't use them, but I think privacy is becoming THE issue with cryptos. I hope to see more development of that down the road.

If I understand correctly we will be able to mine with our wallets at some point. That could be very cool. I would suggest not making the staking amount too high so that more people would be willing to participate. I already own a lot of Bata so I'm more interested in encouraging others to own Bata rather than adding to my pile.

I'm curious about the barter system and would be happy to help test it out when needed.

I would like to add an interesting observation that I noticed while building my Bata balance:

Okay, so I see the price dropping and I think GREAT! I'll put in a large buy order. I placed an order for several thousand Bata. Even though my order was usually at top of the list (I often offered the best price), I still didn't get many takers. I kept my order up there for days and the volume stayed flat and pretty low. My thinking was that someone with a lot of Bata to sell could easily dump it and I would offer them a fair price. Some did, but that volume stayed low.

So, I pulled out my offer. I just let the market drop...and it did. The volume went up and people were selling off their Bata for much lower than I had been offering. Suddenly someone offers to sell several thousand Bata at much lower than I was offering just a few days ago. So, I scooped it up.

It's so weird that it actually takes a dropping price to motivate some people to sell. That is the EXACT opposite of what one is supposed to do. Perhaps occasionally somewhere down the road it may look smart to have sold when the price was dropping, but it is a terrible habit. The other bad habit is to hold on when people offer insanely high prices--but that one is much more difficult to master.

I've seen bot trading on Bleutrade and Bittrex. Bot trading between currencies (i.e. BTA/BTC and BTA/DOGE) make sense. Bot trading between exchanges makes sense. But bot trading to simply give the appearance of increased volume makes no sense and benefits nobody except the exchange needing the publicity of appearing to have a competitive trade volume.

The increased volume of trades attracts traders--like me--who then proceed to investigate the volume. In the case of Bittrex that volume turns out to be justified by the amount of open orders on the books. But the increased volume of trades on Livecoin turns out to be an illusion. There are very, very few open orders for BTA even compared to much smaller exchanges.

So the bot trading for volume appears to be a bait and switch. It damages the credibility of the exchange. It is a horrible business model because it doesn't work except (possibly) in the short term and it makes the trader feel deceived. And it cements the loyalty to exchanges that do not have/use such tactics.

I would not ask you to change your API and bot trading policy. It is important for traders to experience the difference between trustworthy and untrustworthy trade volume.

Please remove the Livecoin exchange. They are generating false transactions which are skewing the market. This can be easily verified. If not, then please explain why you are allowing the information on your site to be tainted by false trade data.

Not cool.

I have cancelled my order for Bata on Livecoin and withdrawn my BTC. Several more Bata transactions took place while my order was open.

As you can see from the example above, this does not make sense. For instance, at 01:13. Explain that transaction! Funny how they almost always buy in the hundreds. And not to eight decimal places like the majority of transactions on EVERY OTHER EXCHANGE.

Livecoin test.

I was curious as to how Livecoin could get so much trading volume in Bata. So, I am doing a test. I deposited .01277548 BTC and placed an order for 749+ Bata. The open orders are scarce. There are currently buy orders for a total of 6538 Bata (including my 749+). There are currently sell orders for 1253.9 Bata. This is very small amount.

In contrast there are 135433.213 Bata currently for sale on Bittrex and there are buy orders for 1257081.327 Bata. But SOMEHOW Livecoin is doing over 5 times the volume of Bittrex! While I was writing this apparently someone ordered some Bata at a good price. That was pretty sneaky! Here are the apparent recent transactions:

    21.05.2016 20:02    buy    142.20925 BTA    0.00002174 BTC    0.00309163 BTC
   21.05.2016 20:02    buy    115.74801 BTA    0.00002179 BTC    0.00252215 BTC
   21.05.2016 20:02    buy    260.79127 BTA    0.000022 BTC    0.00573741 BTC
   21.05.2016 19:14    sell    345.4916 BTA    0.00001734 BTC    0.00599082 BTC
   21.05.2016 19:14    sell    94.516 BTA    0.00001643 BTC    0.0015529 BTC
   21.05.2016 19:13    sell    348.296 BTA    0.00001943 BTC    0.00676739 BTC
   21.05.2016 19:13    buy    355.4196 BTA    0.00001829 BTC    0.00650062 BTC
   21.05.2016 19:00    buy    366.645 BTA    0.00001997 BTC    0.0073219 BTC
   21.05.2016 19:00    buy    578.95 BTA    0.00001727 BTC    0.00999847 BTC

Where did all of this Bata go up for sale? In the meantime nobody is selling me their Bata for 1700 satoshis. Wait a minute! Some more trades just happened:

    21.05.2016 20:14    buy    197.114 BTA    0.00002211 BTC    0.00435819 BTC
   21.05.2016 20:14    sell    464.19 BTA    0.00002093 BTC    0.0097155 BTC
   21.05.2016 20:13    sell    295.72 BTA    0.00002081 BTC    0.00615393 BTC

Amazing! It didn't even appear on the buy/sell orders and yet it got traded. It's a miracle! Still showing the same old buy and sell orders that it has for days. Yet, somehow a massive volume of trades is happening secretly. This is affecting the chart on coinmarketcap. What looks like a spike in price was just this questionable/ghostly trading taking place.

DAMMIT! I just tried to test the Any2Any to see what the price would be and it sold my damn cryptos! No warning. DO NOT HIT "CONVERT" UNLESS YOU WANT TO MAKE THE TRADE! It will not ask you for a gut check.

It appears to be like shapeshift.

Hopefully you did not lose much - sorry to hear.

I had 10 STEEM and I wanted to see how many Bata I could get for them. So I put in the 10 STEEM, changed the other box to Bata, but it was blank. So I hit "convert" to see how much it would be and it SOLD my STEEM and bought like 48 Bata. No gut check question advising me this was a transaction. It would have converted to more Bata but I guess there were only about 48 at that certain price (.00001615 BTC). I guess the difference was deposited as BTC (I hope, but I cannot verify). Not a bad price for Bata, but I wanted to hang on to that STEEM out of curiosity.

So I tried to email Bittrex and the email link on their website didn't work. Not sure if it something on my end. I went into my emails from Bittrex and tried to use that link but it didn't work either. So I tweeted them. I explained that there was no gut check on the Any2Any. They replied asking me to explain the gut check term. I replied kindly and explained to them. They said they will be releasing a bug fix tonight that will make the trades more reliable. I hope that fixes the problem.

How many Bata are owned by the lead developer of this coin?


How ever many he mined over the last year....


Quite a few I would imagine  Shocked

Yes quite a few Wink 

I have given some BTA away in the past and paid people for services using BTA.

Why do you ask? @earthpet



Well, I imagine asking a similar question of Warren Buffett.

"Warren, how many Berkshire Hathaway shares are owned by you?"

He would tell you the exact amount. That amount would be a lot. He knows that the decisions he makes for the company will affect him disproportionately greater than other investors. Investors receive confidence from that knowledge. Berkshire Hathaway is now one of the largest companies in the world and Warren Buffett is one of the richest humans in the world.

In contrast, there is a coin called Bitz. The developer abandoned that coin to devote more time to a new coin that he started with an ICO (Bitz didn't have an ICO). The developer complained that too few people held too many coins. So, rather than reward those few people who believed in his coin enough to save it from ruin, he decided to screw them. Sadly, he didn't seem to have enough Bitz of his own to justify saving the coin.

So, to answer your question, I am asking to try and figure out if I am investing in a coin that is being developed by someone who thinks more like Warren Buffett, or someone who is more like the Bitz coin developer.

Thanks for your reply! I appreciate it.

I did not download the paper wallet generator from Github. I thought I had tried it on the website in the past and it worked fine. I was actually planning on buying a cheap computer specifically for generating paper wallets (permanently offline) but when I tried the paper wallet generator and saw that it wasn't working, I decided to wait. I considered the website to be a demonstration, not the place to actually generate a wallet. But if the demonstration wasn't working correctly it would be a non sequitur to assume the offline version would be functional...unless I'm missing something.

The Livecoin exchange is suspicious indeed. I currently have a large order for Bata on Bleutrade for 1700 satoshis. This is causing some unexpected consequences. The Bittrex volume for Bata has dropped substantially. Bittrex, of course, usually has a much higher volume than Bleutrade. How Livecoin currently has a higher volume than Bleutrade and Bittrex is unknown. They do not have someone like me placing a large order, but I don't fully understand their user interface. But from what I see there is nothing to indicate or explain their high volume.

I see that Bata is switching to POS. My order has nothing to do with that. I do not mine any coins, except when I run my Audiocoin wallet. Somehow having my Audiocoin wallet open generates mined coins. I personally consider that an awesome feature and probably the only reason I continue to own Audiocoin. It reminds me a bit of the old days when I ran project SETI as a screensaver. I find it satisfying to have my computer actually doing something when I am not using it.

I attempted to mine coins in the past but found it beyond my competency. There were too many obstacles to overcome and too much uncertainty over what I was downloading. In addition I could not find a simple tutorial. I do not personally know anybody that mines coins even though I know plenty of computer people. I'm not sure why this barrier to mining coins persists.
