Re: [ANN][SEED] SeedCoin | 10/11 MANDATORY UPDATE
by

on 12/10/2014, 10:28:22 UTC
I believe they mature after 24 hours, not necessarily 1440 blocks , how long has it been?

It has been around 35 hours at this point, but coin maturity is usually a function of block numbers. Either way though, it is well past both the 24 hour mark and 1440 blocks.

The block where the transaction occurred is block 10359 which was at 2014-10-10 23:20:36. The latest block is now 12152 at 2014-10-12 10:27:21.

I have a v1.0.5.0 wallet with 3.7 SEED that I unified in a single address at block 10359. Since then, my wallet has said it isn't staking because there's no mature coins.

We're currently at block 12145, so they are now older than 1440 blocks / 24 hours, which should put them past the maturation time. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It wasn't the best beginning of a coin...
Dev, how can you save this coin?

The coin has been great from the beginning and launch was very smooth. There's nothing to "save", only a solid base to improve on. If we can get some community involvement going this can become the next big cannabis related coin.

Re: Haven't looked at Litecoin for a while noticed its at $4 ?

on 22/09/2014, 09:42:16 UTC
I wasn't buying Litecoin at $10, or $7, and I'm not buying it at $4. Trying to catch a falling knife is unlikely to be successful.

I wouldn't even pay $1 for it - it's a FORK of BTC with almost no merchant coverage and it arguably is abandoned when we consider Charlie Lee left full time development to pursue a salaried job at Coinbase.

Haven't bought any BitsharesX either - everyone knows that BitsharesX volume was almost entirely in China and by private funds / ponzi scheme investors.


Abandoned lol , have you ever considered Charlie is at Coinbase and pushing for litecoin support?

Lol are you stuck in a time loop?  He's been at coinbase for ages now and it still hasn't accepted LTC yet.


The biggest issue in my view is its relative lack of ongoing, independent development. What innovation have we seen from Litecoin?

Re: Within 2 years, effectively 85% of all bitcoins are mined!
by
johnnyrocket
on 22/09/2014, 09:23:44 UTC
seriously, if bitcoin is not massively used (like thousands of transactions per second) by the time block rewards become really small, it can pretty much be considered a failure.

Bitcoin will become more and more a store of value. Why is that considered to be a failure, when this is by design?

Because, if there are not enough transactions, the miners will stop mining, and the network becomes less secure, and more likely to be controlled by a single malicious person.
This is a true statement, however it is not looking like things will work out this way. Transaction growth has grown exponentially since the birth of bitcoin, even as the price has stagnated. As a result the miners are getting larger amounts of TX rewards as time progresses.

I also think the network security is greater then it really needs to be now. I would hypothesize that the difficulty could decrease by a large factor and the network would still be sufficiently secure.

"Security of the network" can be boiled down to simple economics: if the potential gain someone could see from attacking the Bitcoin network is less than the cost to attack it, it will happen. If difficulty were to decrease by a large factor, not only would it become easier to attack the network, but that would indicate that there would be large amounts of idle hardware which could then potentially be used to do so.

Re: Any possible troubles using USA bank account to sell Bitcoin?

on 22/09/2014, 09:20:28 UTC
If its only a few transactions it should be fine.

Red flags are things like having dozens of transactions a week, receiving from multiple different offshore accounts, etc.



Do I need to consider tax issue?

Yes. It would be helpful if you consult an accountant. Hopefully you will also do a bit of reading about banking issues related to high transaction volumes and large amounts to see what you're getting yourself into.

Re: Automatic payment script for client.
by

on 22/09/2014, 09:18:07 UTC
Hi, looking for some advice on setting up automatic payments to multiple addresses once per day.

Each address would count as a percentage and the total funds in wallet at end of day would be sent.

Any ideas?

Setup a server, run a commandline wallet client (daemon). It is easy to interact with the wallet via either the commandline interface or RPC calls, using any number of programming languages.

Re: MAC OS X 10.9 Mavericks / Rebuild ALL with same compiler is key
by
johnnyrocket
on 22/09/2014, 09:01:45 UTC
What I've found is that if you install Boost via Brew or MacPorts you're likely going to have issues.

Apple's new compiler and linking tools is having fits with code compiled by the GCC system from what I can tell.

I've started rebuilding Boost from source and have been able to eliminate "boost::filesystem" link errors.  

Still wrestling with the program_options library for some reason.

Building your own libraries is definitely a key step in setting up a compiler environment for both OS X and Windows (especially Boost). As far as the undefined symbols for x86_64 errors go, are you sure that the file you're checking is the one that's actually being linked?

Banned? Oh, I wish you can post some of these questions here. I bet it were some serious bad manner questions.

You mean the ones I was banned for? Those were benign, back in the ancient times of Gen A shipping delays. I should have known better of course. Got carried away with the "everyone is free to ask questions and voice ideas" promise.

Good luck getting answers out of them here. They only post on hashtalk now, where they delete posts regularly, constantly have shill accounts posting in support, etc.

LOL !! I just graduated from an average joe to a fellon ! TYVM Enrico ! Shocked

Did you forget about the name you used while promoting the AC scam ?

screenshot : http://img.techpowerup.org/140921/CHILDenrico.jpg

First Post has been updated with exchange information and donations.

I think alot of premine is already dumped on the market, if Community should work, not only bagholders should make something out of this, all bagholders here are only in it to gain the lost money, what about all bagholders come together and give the real Community a giveaway so much more pople can be in this, becouse the Community can't mine to gain anything in the end .. only to give the bagholders a chance to sell there lost money, otherwise I see no value in a rebirth other than for the bagholders to try gain what they lost with this, if others don't see that then they also will loose money to a coin that will die again.

So come up with ideas how we all should gain on this ? Otherwise stop talk about the Community, I only see a "Community" with alot of AC that they don't want to loose

Our aim is not to provide a chance for bagholders to dump, but to provide a long term future for Asia Coin as all of us believed in its future when we invested. I don't see any reason for people to dump, when the issue is patched and a responsible and transparent development team has taken over.

Please do not forget that Asia Coin was not a small coin that had some bag holders. We had over 1000 BTC trade volumes on many days at Mintpal.

Indeed...we are not talking bout pennies...or greedy fluffly bagholders... I' d like to read more bout the future plans of AC community..not only ppl who keep writing.. "I'  ll hold...my bag...hoping to dump someday....."
Most of us are here to help not to save your 0.2 BTC or 2 or 20...we re here to help to rebuild  the positive thinking bout cryptos....lately I see only poor, greedy...fast richness dreamers passing by...that s sad...this is a real chance to step ahead...far from the nasty bankers who decide for our lives and for the whole humanity future.
Stop pissing us with your losses...we are losing since they created their money....the money they borrow to us.
So let s make a stand...unite...polite....sincere.
We are here to make it possible...even to regain losses after a disaster, but the whole meaning is not to save the ship...it s to regain the confidence of the people...the honest ones.

My 2 cents...sorry for my ugly english Wink
Enrico

fyi: Bill/William = Guglielmo, Henry = Enrico

Who are you ? And how does that obscure blog post prove your identity ?

You are reading what you want out of that quote.
He is talking about the same concept we try to apply with CHILD. Changing people's perception of the altcoin market (and cryptos in general) as scams or get rich quick schemes.
What service are you providing to the community with these posts? Are you trying to decrease price to buy in cheap or are you just butthurt for whatever reason?

Try to at least make reasonable claims, I'll be glad to reply if need be. But twisting other people's words and taking them out of context, while leaving out crucial information shows you have hidden intentions.

Billy is a nickname, and what obscure blog post? We have Il Giornale's article proving x-labs affiliation with Billy Berlusconi. Do some reading before spreading useless fud and cluttering the thread with your non-sense.

http://www.ilgiornale.it/news/cronache/bitcoin-e-monete-virtuali-fare-beneficenza-x-children-si-pu-1047583.html

Do some basic googling next time.

Changing perceptions is difficult, especially on the internet. It takes time to build a community - keep working hard, and I wish you luck.

Re: [ANN] Syscoin - Business on the Blockchain
by

on 22/09/2014, 00:40:40 UTC
Appreciate the community support sorry if your quoting-reply got removed in the cleanup.



In real news we're going to publish Syscoin 0.1.5 RC1 tonight. Because we want to make sure everything is rock solid the release we publish tonight will be considered a "release candidate". What this means is - for all intensive purposes - this is the final release. Before we officially promote it to that position we want some users to get hands-on time with it.

Release Candidates will be a pattern we follow moving forward with future releases as well. This gives the community time to use the wallet and provide feedback to the team prior to that build becoming the "production wallet". We are merging some stuff in Github and will have binaries posted tonight. If no major issues or requests come up in 24-48hrs this will be promoted to a production release as-is. If items are found we will address them before promoting. Because this is a release candidate the 0.1.4c wallet will still remain the official "production wallet" pending community feedback on 0.1.5 RC1.

This strategy allows the community to provide feedback while also hardening/testing the client on a much larger scale than we are able to reproduce in our testing environments. This release doesn't introduce any changes that require a hardfork so you can use it freely on the main network and it is not restricted to testnet. In the future, if we have changes that do impact the actual network (such as assets feature, or other changes that may impact network) these will be released in "release candidate" form on the testnet first. We'll establish an official public testnet and testnet policy when we get to that point.

More coming very soon!

That's great. Release candidates are something I would love to see more of in the crypto world. Following serious, real-world development practices is something that is sorely lacking in the majority of coins.

is this coin still alive
i would buy,but there is warning on bittrex

It is - simply read the last pages. Wink

Regarding progress: I tied my own hands with updating to the latest libs (like openssl1.0.1i) today. I dont know how, but I somehow fucked my Windows dev environment (wallet builds suddenly randomly crashed). Spent most part of the day trying to find the error. Did a clean wipe after a few hours and rebuilt it with the most recent Qt and recompiled all dependency libraries. It's now working better than ever but the whole process ate all of my spare time today - or at least almost. Sorry folks, I had planned to release the new wallet today.

It will still be released this week - so probably on sunday since tomorrows schedule is stuffed.
I hope you all can stand the pleasant anticipation for so long. Smiley

Edit: Oh new page:

NEW WALLET OUT THIS WEEKEND!

+ fixed blockchain issues
+ migrated wallet to Qt5
+ wallet needs less system ressources
+ reviewed codebase
+ a new feature (what will it be? :p)
+ another feature already in testing phase, won't make it into this release though
+ lots of smaller fixes
+ probably something else that's missing here Wink


Setting up a clean Windows development environment for compiling is definitely a bit of a pain. (I've built a number of Windows wallets.) It would be nice to see a single unified Gitian build process, but nobody seems invested in taking the time to make it all work seamlessly. Anyway, glad you have it figured out and I look forward to the new wallet.
