While I don't like the aggressive tone of the above post, this needs to be addressed.

Can anyone (on the team) confirm or explain these accusations?

It would be quite an issue if what he/she is saying is true.

Actually, this did add a little bit of clarity. The explanation about chain-splits and exchange issues is a very sound one.

My only concern is that if we don't see deposits enabled by mid-May, buyer/investor/developer confidence will drop. Now for me personally, this doesn't really matter. I'm more than happy picking up some discounted NRG. However, I think at this point, the team has worked too tirelessly and the support team has been attending to people's troubleshooting and issues far too long for the price to flunk and potential use-case (Developers who want to use Energi) to walk away and take their business elsewhere.

Edit: Just curious Holukai, are you a mod or on the dev team? You seem to be thinking this through with a level-head on your shoulders.

There is a difference between Wallet to Wallet transactions and Wallet to Exchange transactions. When you send funds from a Wallet to an Exchange, there comes a point in that process where you have to give up some control over the funds; a third party becomes involved.

What does this mean in terms of the deposits being temporarily locked? Code-wise, I'm not really sure. When it comes down to the code, I don't really know what the transaction between wallet and exchange really looks like. My guess would be: it behaves differently than a Wallet to Wallet transaction. So my conclusion is that the team has written the code already, and is watching the behaviour of the Energi3 blockchain. We recently experienced a chain split.

Also, don't forget, NRG just got listed on HitBTC (like or or not) and I'm sure that adds another layer to the over-all security concern that the team has.

My Summary:
I don't believe there is malicious motives behind the actions of the Energi team in regard to locked deposits.

I DO think they need to start answering some questions however.

1) Why are deposits closed. We don't want a copy/paste answer. We want to understand the "why" and that isn't in a "I deserve to know" sort of manner, but rather, "I'm really passionate about cryptocurrency, how blockchains work, how exchanges work, etc.

2) Why is the Github so quiet?
The last commit is one line of code almost a week ago. What's stopping the team from moving forward?

3) What can WE do? Apart from sitting on our hands and trying not to think about our beloved NRG coins?

Tommy, if you're reading this, give us something. This is about a conversation. Respect. and most importantly, Honesty.

Blackstone1, I think you've mis-read Dlandin33's post.


The team has not responded with a technical reason behind the locked deposits. BUT, in the Medium article they say that the deposits being locked is due to security reasons.
So it's up to us, the viewer/speculator/investor to make a personal choice: Either we believe them, or they are lying. I think they have not given us any reason to doubt them. I don't think they've ever given us cause to suspect they are lying.


Blackstone1, basically, if the team wants to make the price of NRG go up (and to be sure, the team probably holds a sizable amount of NRG) then all they have to do is stop deposits so that people can't sell off their NRG. It's artificial inflation. More buying than selling on exchanges. <--- not necessarily true, but Blandin33 is suspicious.

However:
If I'm wrong, and they are lying and there is malicious intent (or monetary gain for the team) behind the locked deposit, the world will find out. This is not something they will be able to cover and recover from. It will be the end of the whole project (which is actually doing really well and has it's feet firmly planted right now). Also, they WILL be liable (and can be sued) regardless of the disclaimers they write "This is just a project we make no promises etc etc".

I choose to believe that they have good intent and that there is serious testing that is being performed.

My issue with BitcoinTalk right now is that there is a big difference between saying:

"I have a concern, and this is what it is, maybe the team/Tommy could address: blah blah blah"

and

"The team is a bunch of crooks, they are stealing our money, they are frauds, their entire project is a sham and has absolutely no worth, the code is glued garbage, they suck because I don't get my demands met every single time."

Huge difference. One is an assessment and the other is a flagrant accusation without merit, consideration, or real evidence.

Blandin33, I can't claim to fully understand the nature of this current situation with the locked deposits. However, I don't think gaslighting the team is fair. I think you're creating mistaken concern where there shouldn't be any. In the long run,  if they were manipulating price as you claim, it wouldn't help them out at all and would only create scandal - which I don't think any team of a project wish upon themselves

With that said, I'm not exactly sure what you are expecting from them. Explaining why they have chosen to do this could reveal a security flaw. Things of this nature are not arbitrary. I think if this was a new project with little volume there might be cause for suspicion. But time and time again this team in particular has shown that they mean business and are not giving us the run-around.

Remember: at the end of the day, when this is over and deposits are resumed, the team will be held accountable for this decision. Do you think the team isn't aware that we want answers? We'll get answers and the issue will be addressed. If it's just swept under the rug, then there might be cause for suspicion.

Until accusers try running their own successfully crypto currency without issues, we have no grounds for complaining. Buy the coin and let them make you some easy money.

If you have issues with the team, their philosophy, their project strategies, then sell your coins and move on to the next best thing. Creating fear and stirring the pot over speculation isn't fair to the team nor is it fair to investors.

I for one, will give the team a fair shot.

I wouldn't rely on the content written here on this forum as leverage against or for the legitimacy of any cryptocurrency. Anyone can say anything and that's not going to help anyone in the long term.

I've been following Energi from the side lines for a while now. They continually deliver on goals and promises. Sure, it's annoying that deposits are currently closed, but lets look at the big picture. They're creating something that has never existed before and I think they're doing a great job.

Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. People need to stop going around touting anti-Energi propaganda. Unless you're on the dev team, you can't really say anything about the success or failure of this project. From the beginning, they made it clear that this was an experimental project.

If Energi wins, we win. If Energi loses, we all lose.

Take a look at their github, there are commits that are very recent and they worked around the clock to dispatch 3.0.6 following a DDos attack. If they're isn't dissemination of anti-Energi hate, I'd be worried that this project was failing. The fact that people are writing hateful (untrue) things about the project and the people involved, is proof that Energi is doing something right. (Side note: I anticipate that we see commits very soon as evidence that we're moving forward).

To follow all this however, I think it is time for the team to come forward with a new plan-of-attack. I think if the deposit had been locked for 2 weeks, that would be sufficient time to go without an explanation. If deposits are not open in the next 2 to 3 weeks, I think it is only fair that the team steps forward and provides a bit more explanation and also a timelines so we can be ready for deposits to open so we can resume using this amazing cryptocurrency.

I trust that Tommy has his head screwed on properly. I trust the team IS working right now as I type this to fix the issues at hand. Don't let fear and greed get the best of you.

Don't forget, Quantstamp AMA today. 10:00am PST as well as some news prior to AMA (maybe?)...

"Despite the regular policy of not announcing upcoming announcements Richard also teased that there are some new stuff happening right before the AMA"

Video was hosted on Facebook

Any news of Quantstamp being listed on any exchanges? It would be nice to get listed on Bittrex. Binance is a good start though.

Can anyone provide information we might need to bring to exchanges, I'd love to start requesting a QSP listing on a couple exchanges.

Hopefully we can see a little bit of a rise after this weekend.

It's helpful if you don't look at ARK as a way to 'get rich'. Focus on your portion as an investment with real people behind it. Support ARK because it's ARK, not because of a payout.

Also. if you're only 15, focus on learning what makes a cryptocurrency 'good/strong' versus 'bad/fake'. Learn as much as you can. The money will come later.

Don't put the cart before the donkey.

 

(1) You mean 'Lisk'?

(2) Go visit ARK's Slack.... he's hasn't gone anywhere.

(3) You're absolutely right, Canabanana isn't allowed to take any breaks. He must be posting at least thrice every hour, generating thrilling conversations with us, he probably shouldn't even step away from his computer to sleep.

* the dust settles on Bittrex *

But see, here is my thought though, there are a couple of coins that appear to be either/or/and (scamcoins, low trading volume, worthless, dead) such as (IMHO)...  PinkCoin, Huntercoin, Siacoin. How did they get listed on Polo? The only coin with low value both in price and trading volume is Dogecoin, because it's Doge and no one can hate Doge.

They would be wise to take notice in the least. Also, that trading volume is good news; price will stabilize for now. But the volume traded is very impressive. Good stuff everyone. I'll be re-submitting a request on Polo. Screw the haters and nay-sayers.

edit: PIVX is still below trading volume and they've had some good results too! ARK wins obviously 

This is a fair point. IMHO based on the where this project is going and the technology which stands behind the name, it's probably not a bad idea to buy in even now. I know we're sitting at 20k but ARK has much more growing to do. Time spent here is evidence of that. This place was almost annoying to check back in late March because of all the people requesting money back. They all have their reasons, but it's still not too late. (Also, it's helpful to view ARK not JUST as something to make profit. There is useful tech behind it).

Happy Easter weekend.

Yes, great things happening with ARK as seen on Bittrex. Quite stable too! It's fun watching this crypto succeed (too the moon  ). And there is still so much good to come!

Fun stat indeed. It's been fun watching this project take off. Great things in store people. Keep promoting!!

Just in case this information has gotten buried in replies... let's keep bothering Polo!

Until we have a presence there.....forge on everyone!

Hey, I want to start selling altcoin stickers on an ecommerce site, I have looked around and although the popular cryptocurrencies have stickers available for purchase, there are many who do not have stickers, but do have fans who might want stickers/decals. Are the logos (of altcoins) themselves owned by someone/organization or are they generally open sourced and free. Obviously with the manufacture and selling of something like a sticker comes a profit - even if it's a very small one and I don't want to fail to abide by a copyright that someone holds.

I've heard rumors that some are owned by groups and some are opensource - is there a list which would tell me such information.

cheers.

Hey, hope I'm posting in the correct place.

I've been mining BCN via Minergate for a while now, and it's worked great! Last night my unconfirmed balance seemed to be 'reset' to 0.000000000000 and since, the confirmed balance has not moved. Anyone else experiencing this problem? I've been mining for a while today, with no success of gathering any rewards  
I tried mining a differenct coin (XMR) and was successful. Did something happen with BCN I am not informed of?

Cheers.

EDIT: I attempted to withdraw the amount I had (did not exceed 3000) and it failed.

Hey everyone, huge Crypto Currency fan! I'm interested in learning more about UNO and how to buy/sell! I was told about this site(forum) by a good friend, looks like this is gonna be a blast! This is my official "Hello World" post!

Cheers everyone!
