a scam that cheats 80 bitcoin is called a big scam
how is the DAO called? a tiny scam?

Please understand it as a scam
Why we have a post here is to have a timestamp proving we've opened a chance to the world to join it. So that in phase 2 , people won't suspect that dev team holds the 4m coins. that's all .
We dont' want you join.

Dear friends,
Actually in phase1, we don't want to involve too many people, especially the ones has communication obstacles. So we are sorry for no bounties to translation. We will give bounty for phase2 where we've finished the prototype and have built up a marketing team.

[ANN][ICO]DAEMS: Decentralized Anonymous Encrypted Messaging System
Innovation points:
Solved the bottle neck of blockchain messaging system that stores all the data into blockchain; introduce zero knowledge proof which creates absolute anonymity.
Technical solution:
Use bitcoin codebase, introduce zk-SNARK technology which was already implemented in ZCash and Lightning network technology, together with ECC encryption technology, to enable anonymous, encrypted message transfer that doesn’t cost blockchain space.

Future potentials:
1 Persistent storage of messages by volunteer nodes
2 public blog /twitter/facebook by unencrypted message from one ID
3 group messaging: broadcast encrypted message to group members that shares the key
4 Paid content:similar to group
5 Multiple coin support with single priv key
6 Decentralized domain system
7 Online market
8 Email server.Daems email address is Daems-ID@server-domain-name The server connects both internet and Daems network, translates address and broadcast email.
9 Message bonus: send out message with money to clarify non-spam.

System Params:
1 Total coin supply:21M (same as BTC)
2 Initial coin supply:15.75M(same as BTC supply at 2nd halving)
3 Mining reward mechanism: starts at the speed as 2nd halving of BTC, and halves every 4 years
4 Block interval: 2min
5 Mining mechanism: POW
6 POW algorithm: SHA256D
7 ledger mechanism: UTXO
8 address format: base58 ,versioned checksumed bytes
9 Max block size:1M
10 Min.fee:0.01 COIN
11: supports zk-SNARK for coin
12 Try to support zk-SNARK for message sending
13: no smart contract support in base platform to ensure system stability
14 Maybe improve Multisig

Development roadmap:
Development team has already created a decentralized content publishing system that writes content to blockchain(www.f-a-i.net), the major work for development of DAEMS is the integration of zk-SNARK and Lightning network which is not time-consuming.
Phase1: Build consensus layer. Ensure the system can be improved without hard fork.
   Provide a C++ based client that enables basic coin transfer and messaging functions.
   Estimated development time: 3 months
Phase2: Develop clients on multiple operations systems(ios, Android, etc), together with multiple coin support( BTC, ETH,ETC,etc).
Phase3: Continous improvement following user feedbacks

ICO plan:
15.75M coins Total initial coin supply
1.75M for dev team
4M for first round ICO before development
10M for second round ICO after Phase1 development

1st round ICO details:
Time: 1st OCT 2016 to 14th OCT 2016, GMT
Currency: Bitcoin
Address: 131ACyv2SWrA1GC6VTk1FjE12hdCZCCWNc
Rate: All collected Bitcoins shares the 4M Daems coin.
        Daems Coin per Bitcoin=4M ICO supply/(total Bitcoins collected)
   e.g.: 100 bitcoins collected, 40000 Daems coin per Bitcoin
      200 Bitcoins collected, 20000 Daems coin per Bitcoin
Funding cap:200 Bitcoins.
Investment over 200 Bitcoins can get Daems coin in second-round ICO with 5 times weight. i.e. 1 bitcoin in 1st round (above 200)=5 bitcoins in 2nd round.
!Please send Bitcoins from an account controlled by yourself.
We payout Daems coin after Phase 1 development.
Default receiving address is the address that sends out Bitcoin.
If you want to receive Daems coin with a different address, please send a email to daemsico@gmx.com , providing the address that will send out Bitcoin and the amount will be sent , BEFORE you send out the Bitcoins. Later when Daems coins are available , please send another email providing the address to receive the Daems coins.

Please kindly answer a newbie question:how to get the pos interest by darkcash wallet?

This post is for information update and Q&A for users.
Today, we formally launch HB01M, a multi-coin support hardware wallet.http://hardbit.cn/index.php/products/hb01m
http://hardbit.cn/images/hb01m24.pnghttp://hardbit.cn/images/hb01m23.pnghttp://hardbit.cn/images/hb01m25.pnghttp://hardbit.cn/images/hb01m26.png
Please look at our technical white paper for techinal details.http://hardbit.cn/index.php/techonology/3-whitepaper
Please look at the user's manual for application details.http://pan.baidu.com/s/1ntjw0BJ
we also provide an open source safety check toolhttps://github.com/hardbitcn/HardbitSafetyCheck
HB01 & HB01M are based on theoratically absolute safety ,i.e. if there're severe bugs in our product, or if we embed some evil codes in our product, still the Bitcoins in it are safe!
HB01 is first launched on May 6th, the safety record is now close to a quarter. Compared to Bitcoin which is only accepted by 1/10000 people after 5.5 years of safety record, Hardbit has a long way to go to prove itself safe. But we have the patience to wait, we are not hurry for commercial success.
There are a lot of objections in the past quarter. And new ones will come. Debate won't bring the truth, time will.
In our product pipeline, we will launch a lower end product HB02 in the next quarter, which communicates via Bluetooth and has a much lower price--our target is below 50 USD.
The IOS app is under development and will be released soon.

We have launched the version 2 of HB01.

As promised, this version has no antenna-physcically no wireless connections, no drivers for wireless commnucations,enables manual input of private key, enables importing of backup wallet files. And we will provide an open source safety-checking app to ensure we have no back door.

please see:http://hardbit.cn/index.php/techonology/8-hardbit/6-hardbit-bitcoin-hardware-wallet-theoratically-absolute-safety-and-0-trust

Thanks alot for the review.
We had many conversation with customers and potential customers after the product release.
From our angle, HB01 is not a prototype, it's absolutely safe both theoratically and pratically. But we understand that from customer's angle, it IS a prototype, because it can't answer many questions from customers' side.
Then we suddenly found that we've put ourself into a pitfall:a good person have to prove by himself that he is a good guy.
As you know, to make a safe, easy of use, affordable hardware wallet is already a very hard job, self-proving is an additional work and maybe even harder.
But , to be responsible for our customers, and to develop our business, we WILL do this.
One proof we've already done and we feel very lucky is that we chose QR code as the only communicating method:no automatic transfer,all information exchanging visible, information can be analysed by 3rd party software.


Answers for some questions:
1 importing a wallet file to Hardbit .
Importing existing wallets is unsafe from hardware wallet's point of view. Our idea is to provide a once-send-all dedicated online software, for those who's Hardbit is lost or broken. I.e, import the backup wallet file to the software, input a target address(recommends an address created by another Hardbit),input password, and the software sends all the Bitcoin in the backup file to the new address. This software will be available soon.
And , we will disclose the wallet backup file format, so that somebody can make a third-party software (even a wallet software) to handle our backup.

2 USB connection
Any automatic transfer method is unsafe from hardware wallet point of view. Because even we are good guys, we can't guarantee that a super-smart hacker can find way to invade our system and steal the private key.
For playing and testing it, you can connect it to USB. But for real storage of Bitcoin, please keep it away from USB. We've provided charging wire and plug.

BTW, thanks to the Bitcoin price surge, we've lowered the product price to 0.269BTC.

2 product size and product line
HB02 will be a thinner,lighter and cheaper product, but with less safety.
Our product positioning: HB01 for relatively high-amount customers;HB02 for realtively low-amount customers; and special solution for ultra-high-amount customers.

BTW, thanks to the Bitcoin price surge, we've lowered the product price to 0.269BTC.

Hope it can answer most of your question.
For questions unsolved, I will answer them in the coming days.
In 1 or 2 days, the translation of techincal white payper will be finished.

Hi ，I'm the R&D leader for Hardbit.
Thanks everyone for your interest in Hardbit.
We've sent 14 Hardbits out .2 already in costomers' hands.
Currently we are busy working on polishing online side software and user's manual.
So please forgive us on slow response of questions.
I think the user's manual will answer most of your questions.
And, the full techincal white paper is already published in Chinese. The English version is only 1/3 of the whole article. We will transate that in a week.
Here I put some core ideas why we develop this product:
1 To make a solution that is best effort for Bitcoin safety for dummies.
(For experienced IT guys, they really don't need hardware wallet.)
(Don't try to teach dummies how to protect their Bitcoins. The more they know, the more possibility they lose their Bitcoins)
so,,convenience is not taking into consideration. Only safety, safety ,safety
So please don't compare convenience with online wallets. Hardbit will perfectly lose.
2 To make a system that online client and offline client can come from different providers. This system is based on a simple communication protocol. (An open-protocol system is much more powerful than an open-source software), this system will help build the offline payment eco system of Democurrency.
3 The hardware must be affordable and portable, and last but not least, not easily recognized as a Bitcoin wallet.

C网如果哪个币出现亏空了，就只能等新充值的给老提币的，就造成pending
以后买啥币，先买一点点，提币试一下。
pending的币万万不能买

Yes！That's a very important point.
UNO maybe the second one to surpass BTC.Now it's ranked No.5 by price. 42 coin -btc- btb-ltc-uno
UNo maybe the first one to surpass BTC by HASHing power. Let wait and see.

Anybody aware of the giant vibration of mining difficulty?

30times difference only within 1hour and 15minutes!
This is the reason which causes Uno's average block interval is only 1/4 of the designed value--40s vs 3m
