Re: is ChainX a scam??

They are not a scam exchange, people are still using it and can still withdraw money normally. But this exchange is not suitable for you to join IEO because most of the IEOs there have failed and do not have any successful projects and helped investors to get profits when investing.

I was wondering if you could answer this:

- Chainx.org vs chainx.kr are they different websites? different projects?
- One seems to be a korean project another chinese?
- ChainX.org is a project collaborating with polkadot, and not an exchange, they have a dex in app
- Chainx.kr doesnt have PCX (polkadot parachain X) listed which is ChainX.org's currency

So are these the same project? that was my main question

Not the same project at all,
Lots of newbies fudding PCX cause they think it is chainx.kr shitty exchange
just spend some time on chainx.org website and read the white paper. It connects other blockchains and assets to Polkadot chain. 
For me, its an impressive project, main net is live and PCX is a steal right now at $1.80, I am staking it for daily interest of 0.125%
PCX still has a MC under $12M

After more testing, hope to have pictures up next week of 8 x 19 port hubs fully populated.
wish I had more hubs  Sad

testing w/o heatsinks...

40Gh/s off of 16 units

cheers,

I love those USB hubs!!!

best thing about them is they are 5V 20A internal PSU giving 5.26VA per port which means you can populate each of the 19 ports with these BF1's

I dont use a RasPi, but I dont see any reason why why you cannot.
The middle USB port on the side would have to be free as you cannot get 3 x BF1's in there due to size. So you could plug your Pi in there as its 5V 1A in every port.

What's... THAT?! Cheesy
(Feel like I've missed something...)
It looks like stripped USB Block Erupters.

Not quite, the board is different, and also some components (not to mention led color and heat sink!).
A new or old generation of the current design, perhaps?

I like how you went with the $2 USB fans instead of the pricier ones that seems so popular among USB miners.

the pricier fan is by far more powerful. got one of those cheap-o fans to, they suck.

If the heatsink is of the correct design there is no need for a howling gale to keep it cool. All I need is steady air movement,
my heatsinks reduce the chip temp by 16C. I tested the boards with and without heatsink at the factory (and that was passive cooling).

I already bough 8 of them, you can mine 18 Biitfury BF1's in one hub no problem (you can only get 2 in the side ports as they clash).

Re: [ANN] [ICO] Target Coin - World's FIRST And ONLY Bonus Paying Crypto Fund

Targetcoin,

So far you have sold 406,000,000 coins in ICO
Your target is 1.34 Billion coin sales in ICO.

What will happen to the unsold coins? Will they be burned? If not why? Why has this crucial information not been published anywhere?

Have any of your team ever been "Professional traders" at brokerages/Investment Banks or is your team comprised of "Retail traders?"

cheers,
kevinm

I think 150K is unrealistic even at today's prices; that's 0.1875 BTC you're asking people to invest in a coin with no certain path or future and ranked 462 on the marketcap its just not gonna happen imo. Most people don't have $600 worth of BTC to blow on a random altcoin at the bottom of the marketcap. 25K is understandable and maybe even 50K if you really want people to work for a mn(I personally don't, I believe they should be available at a fair price to everyone that wants to invest in one).

Striker,
I get where you are coming from however, the 150K figure was decided by the community right here by poll. The Dev agreed to it and that was the target anyone interested in running a MN has been working towards. If the dev now reduces the number of coins required by any factor. Some may think he used the 150K figure to sell the coin and increase its liquidity. Either way, going back on his word and the original wishes of the community is a bitter pill to swallow.

If people dont have $600 worth of BTC to "blow on a random altcoin at the bottom of the market cap" then perhaps they should move on, a MN in this coin maybe isn't for them. 0.1875 BTC is not a lot for 150K coins when a coin is less than 6 months old. Remember back in 2013 when 20,000 Potcoins were selling right here for 1 BTC? If that were any benchmark then one might say 100K was more of a realistic number. Given the reduced number of coins in circulation and minimal pre-mine, 150K is fair compared to the example above.

If he is going to go back on his word, then perhaps a fair solution would be to add a POS feature and do away with the MN idea all together.

Dev.
Better make as you said before. Score 150k and 75k Trade. You said Masternodes long delay. So people who really want Masternodes. Will time or buy coins or mine them while the difficulty and the price is small.


what he said.
stick to the plan, 150K per MN.

You go changing the goalposts now and its going to become a SCAM.

What is going on with this project?
It was decided by the community that 150K coins should be the target holding for MN.
Why the change of plan?

coin needs serious promotion, plain and simple, lowering the price of MN is not going to pull this coin out of the shit.

Potcoin wallet issue
by
kevinm
on 28/06/2017, 09:36:12 UTC
I have a wallet.dat file from an old Potcoin QT Core wallet (2014) that contained 20,000 Potcoins. It was the old style QT with the fuzzy pot leaf icon.
The laptop running the client crashed and burned long ago so I wasn't sure of the address and private keys for the wallet, having only ever received the 20 K coins and not ever made any other transactions.
I just finished downloading the latest Potcoin QT Core wallet and it is fully synced to the network. If I cut and paste the old wallet.dat file into the new Client folder in %APPDATA% the balance still shows as Zero. I pressed the receive coins button to get the address from the original wallet and have noted that down (I am assuming at least I did that bit correct).
i contacted the Potcoin support several times and surprise, surprise, not a dickybird ....
Anyone know If its possible to salvage anything from this mess?
What makes things worse is I have watched the value of Potcoin/BTC fall 25% in the time it took to sync the new wallet   Sad
I know this is the Bitcoin Tech support forum but I couldnt find a Tech support forum in Altcoins.
any help much appreciated,

cheers,

OK Success,
I loaded the 218 keys and swept them, the transaction window says there were 4 individual transactions totaling 2504.52489 mBTC. So the default transaction fees amounted to 0.00225 BTC, which is nice   Smiley


Thanks for all of the input,

Thanks very much for that input.
I do not have an in depth knowledge of the intricacies of the QT wallet so I am confused to say the least.
When I used pywallet to dumpprivkey contents to wallet.txt, it gave about 200 addresses and keys. I only ever used the single address for transactions so perhaps some of those addresses listed are "change addresses" as previously pointed out by achow.
Now that I have the keys, I want to sweep them into my Electrum wallet so if I use Blockchain.info and identify all the change addresses from my transactions, I can cut and paste the privkeys from the wallet.txt file into Electrum for sweeping along with the key for what I consider as my main wallet address. I'll give it a go and see what happens     Smiley
