Re: [ANN][CRAIG] CraigsCoin | Decentralized classified ads | 5+ POD ~ Bittrex ICO

Text advertisement is a good start. But to succeed there need to be people seeing ads.

So are there any plans to allow:

1) Image ads with additional meta data like URL?
2) Running a node on your webserver and displaying selected ads on your website while getting a reward for clicks or completed contracts? I imagine an advertiser reserving xxx coins as a reward for 3rd-parties which successfully promote the ad. Each time an ad gets clicked the site owner gets i.e. 5 Craigs from this pot. This way CraigsCoin could be used worldwide as a real decentralized AD-network and not only within the investor community.

this is an interesting idea, but how to fight clickbots who will get all the coins from the pot in an instant if there's no antifraud system

Yes the clickbots will win that war.
Someone has to figure out how GoogleAds etc are fighting them. I have no clue Smiley But maybe the dev could get that information from his friends at Yandex. Or someone else. Yes, it won't be an easy task, that's why such thing doesn't exist yet. Maybe things like smart contracts of BC or similar things could be used for this.

Many paid with BTC and NXT for their stack. Maybe it's possible to authenticate people via their wallet address?

Thank you! So if the volume exceeds 4.5 BTC on a daily basis, the purchasing and selling offsets the production, which creates stability. Is that correct?

YC

How did you determine the 3 BTC amount? What's the calculation?

YC


I read this forum every day since the creation of digibyte, mined every day since the creation of digibyte, bought some digibyte. But most of all i believe in digibyte to be the nr. 1 altcoin.

I never respond on this forum, but I really think digibyte need to take some action. Every day so mutch coin's are generated that it has to much effect on the market right now, can you do something about this? A limit or something?


Everyone keeps mentioning the number of coins being mined. The number of coins isn't the problem. Look at DOGE...they have 65 times the number of coins and they have a higher per-coin value.

Here's the problem as I see it: Sorry, this may sound a little blunt - Digibyte can't be used for anything except a few fringe merchant websites that nobody needs or has ever heard of. There needs to be some sort of reason for people to accept/use Digibyte.  Until that happens, the coin value will stay at these levels (or lower).

I've only been mining for about 10 months (DGB for about 5 months). It's a very interesting, annoying, exciting, (insert adjective here), and frustrating hobby.
I can just repeat myself: it's all about the trading volume. As long as it stays under the daily coin production equivalent the price (around 3BTC) will fall.
120 Blocks/hr
2880 Blocks/day with each 7608 reward = 21.91mio DGB/day
Multiplied with a price of 15 to 20 Sat = 3.28 BTC to 4.38 BTC per day

I originaly calculated with 19.2m coins per day as mentioned by some other user (which might be more accurate as the above calculation is based on coin specs and not on average blocktime).
Exactly! The more trading volume the less weight the daily mining rewards have. That's why the price fell the last days, because the trading volume was significantly lower.

Regarding the discussion about the currency symbol, I'll copy and paste what I wrote on the NEM forums here for everyone to discuss.

Quote
Theoretically a vote should not cause any drama. The majority wins, end of story. This is how a democratic system works. However, with that being said, having a community vote on something like this may be flawed, and I will explain why.

I've seen many other cryptocurrencies voting on things related to design and aesthetics. However, the reality is that most people here and in general have no experience in this field. Art and design is a specialized field, just like anything else. Having a vote on something like a logo or a currency symbol is something that should be left up to a trusted professional. Otherwise, it would be like voting on specific changes to the codebase when the majority of the community does not even know the first thing about coding.

Many people refuse to believe that art/design is something that can only be done by a professional. Everyone thinks they just inherently know what looks good and what does not, but that simply is not true. I feel that any decision for NEM related to design aesthetics be left to a trusted professional in that field, or at least someone who has demonstrated that they have the knowledge required to make those decisions. People are always going to complain about such a decision because it does not fit what they feel looks good in their eyes. But those are untrained eyes, and such an opinion should be completely disregarded (at least, that's how I feel about it).

I only say this as someone who has a faint background in art and design (I am an artist in my spare time and have a bit of formal training), and I know all too well how people without the requisite training can be severely misguided in terms of what makes an effective design and what does not.

Anyway, that's just my opinion. If the community would prefer to have a vote for this sort of thing, then that is not my decision to make. Just wanted to throw my thoughts into the mix. Smiley
I agree with you that design is a specialized field and only professionals have the knowledge and training to recognize "good" design.
However, the currency symbol is for the eye of the masses. If a designer makes a great design according to his experience and a great majority of the community thinks it looks like sh*t, it doesn't fit to a product that aims for mass adoption. If you have enough voices of lay persons against/for a design within the community you can assume it's (approximately) the same oppinion as the rest of the world will have (excluding all other professionals Tongue ).

How can you be happy with the current price? We were at ~40Sat for the last couple of months. As long as we are under 100 I consider it as steal! Personaly I try to get some BTC off of other coins to buy more DGB.

What will the difference be to other coins (especially CINNI) despite another name?

How do I profit from "owning" virtual time? Is it just named Time or has it actually realy to do something with time?
I don't see any sense in this. Please enlighten me, thanks.

Everyone couldnt understand a thing you were talking about.

Thank you! Not sure about what is unclear, though Smiley

Ok, I try again:

With Bitpay you can accept BTC from your customers and get payed out in fiat. That's fine and exactly what we need.
Additionally we need the option to send refunds to the customers.

Say the customers pays us today 100$ worth of Bitcoin (~0.2) we want to be able to pay him this 100$ back later at the current BTC price.

That's because we are selling tickets for concerts and the presale begins months before the concert. In case the appointment gets canceled we need the opportunity to send all the money back to the customers - preferable in BTC to whom paid in BTC originaly.

Question: is there any Bitcoin payment provider with this refund option?

Hope, this makes it more clear Smiley

about 2500 blocks / day

about 19,200,000 digibytes / day
I don't see a problem with the amount of new coins per day. At the current price (20 Sat) it's only 3.84BTC/day. If we had 50+ BTC volume per day nobody would notice this. It's just a problem of trading volume. Once there are clear development and usage targets, it will rise. At the moment we have only a vage idea where this coin is heading to. And we have to trust the team that they are working on great deals and cool technical developments in the background.

According to what i've read between Scrypt and Skein, 1mh (scrypt) is equivalent to 300mh (skein).
We have a median of 100mh on p2pool scrypt and 3gh on the skein p2pool. (just taking p2pool stats)
So 100mh scrypt is equivalent to 30gh skein if i'm right, so we have 10x time more power on Scrypt p2pool but we find much more less blocks on the Scrypt p2pool than Skein p2pool.
Correct me if i'm wrong but if i'm right that mean Skein is much more easier with 10x time less power... so their might be a problem with difficulty retargetting on Skein Huh

"1mh to 300mh" is equivalent to "100mh to 30gh". Each time its factor is 300 Wink
