I'm still running an explorer at http://138.68.239.143:3001/

I've been able to compile the C wallet and successfully make some small changes.  Progress will be slow, but I'm coding some small things with the wallet.  I'm keeping my stacking wallet and master node running.  Let's at least keep the network up and running.  I've seen coins come back to life after dying.   One example is Speed Cash.

New dev team is formed.  Join us on discord.

Yes, join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/Fv9FBGF

I don't think so.  The website, the bitcoin talk 1st post, the github project and the slack group all hacked at the same time.   Seems like too much to hack all at one time.

I hear you man.  I should have been mining Magnet all this time.  It's already on an exchange and going for $0.60.  The only reason I was mining Aspect was because I felt that it would be higher than Magnet when it hit the exchange.

Did anyone fork the github project?

Github project is gone too.  Looks bad.

The dev is selling Master Nodes for $900.  The money goes to pay for the expenses to get the coin listed on exchanges, so buying Master Nodes from him is super helpful.

It's mined the same as Bitcoin.  Or you can buy UNIT on an exchange, then run the wallet software on your computer.  You'll get free UNIT just for running the wallet/node.  This is something Bitcoin is missing.

Many exchanges, Cryptopia included, have what are called APIs.  These allow computers to trade and place orders, all without a person.  Smart people code up trading algorithms and let computers watch prices and place orders.  Think of 3-4 bots trading between themselves, tricking each other into buying at higher and higher prices, not realizing the insanitary of a $700/UNIT price, obeying the code precisely.

Not a scam. This is what I can tell. Cryptopia just added UNIT, having only a small amount of actual UNIT on the exchange when they had a technical issue with syncing wallets.  With so little actual UNIT on the exchange, API bots started to trade back and forth, causing the  price to rise.  People tried to transfer UNIT to take advantage of the price, but Cryptopia had issues with wallets, so the bots kept trading back and forth, creating a self fulfilling prophecy.

It looks like what we are seeing is the effect of bot trading.  Very hilarious if you ask me. 

I don't currently have time to help, but I am a programmer.  I did PHP for many years.  I'm now doing Node.js.  Before you start building this in PHP, I would recommend that you try the Meteor.js tutorial first.

Meteor could make a preev.com replica fairly easy to build. Ether way I think this is a great idea.

Thanks dNote for the quick reply, explaining why in my testing the messages disappeared.  It makes sense now.

I've been playing around with the wallet, trying different recovery methods.  I copied the private key off and then moved the wallet data to another location, starting a new wallet by first importing the copied private key.  The wallet is sync'ed again and balances look good.  I can see the evidence of messages I sent, but the message text is blank.


I'm trying to understand the nuances of the wallet and how messages work.  Why can I no longer see the text of the messages in this scenario?

My first 30 day deposits matured today.  I withdrew them and now I have more XDN in my wallet.  The blockchain deposits work very smoothly.  Thanks dNote!

I'm going to make a wild guess.  This address belongs to user dogeparty: DDogepartyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxw1dfzr.  With all those x's, makes me wonder how long it took to brute force.

I'm happy to get some at 70 satoshis.  What a sweet deal.

You guys rock!  It sounds like the aliases will be super easy to use, just like the rest of what DigitalNote does.

Much of what I've seen in CryptoNote I really like.  I do have some questions.  I know that XMR has some public developers, do any of the other forks have known people working on them?  I'm specifically interested in XDN.  Most of the commits in GitHub are from ducknote and xdn-project and I don't know they are in real life.

A concern, I've read some "conspiracy theories" putting the NSA behind CryptoNote.  I haven't gotten to deep into that research, so I'd love to hear from people that have.
