This is what I use to check and you are right, we can see from the chart at the bottom, that a crossover happened on the 13th, where then we see Asks loading up higher around .00002 where presumably they will be matched by the dumpers.  But I feel that those 180,000 coins at .00002 are someone who will move that bundle of coins higher, if the price rises, I don't think they'll sell those 180k Ben imo.  I hold < 5000 Ben, it's worth it to hold, at the rate we are mining it's a deal.  Well, if you mine and intend to study the code as I do, it's totally a deal to buy Benjamins and hold for say 30 years.  By that time we will all know the bitcoin code or the world will be onto something else.  Nah, bitcoin will always be around its the big brother of all cryptocoin.

Strong hands buy and gift to friends, use it for little day to day things which are not urgent.  Use Ben like pennies, I would say.  Send 150 BEN (about a buck) to a friend.  They have a value slightly less than one penny in terms of USD so there is room to grow.  Also, not all pennies are equal, some are worth more in terms of specie, bullion.  But also, metals are getting smashed because it allows certain parties to gobble up metals.

I will be publishing BEN prices in gold/silver/copper on my forthcoming little webpage.  Even at a market cap of 20k USD, Ben is a very powerful vehicle, even if just one backer has metal and can deliver.  Let me know if you guys want to know about markets, I am ready to help.

Market is doing Something... There is a Diamond in the Dirt & People are Finding it.

In the interests of being helpful (a trait everyone appreciates hint hint) here is what other coins are saying about Heartbleed.

Some info. taken from another thread on Heartbleed and crypto wallets:


Based on the above since BEN is a bitcoin clone directly, and since no command line options are used by regular folk, sounds like all is fine, the coin ain't even worth total cap of 20,000 USD so really, hehe, it's more of a tool lying on the battlefield.  Dude above is a smart fast paced investor, they won't wait up.  But anyway, I am looking into the code but like I said I am shooting for Fall.  I mean I am a total noob, not to computer sec or POS distro systems or how corporations work at the highest and deepest levels --all those things I know well.  But source code in C++ makes me essentially just hate developers more.

Look I crawled around fixing PC for devs for ten + years.  Not 1 of them had any balls, and maybe like 50% brains, the rest was insect like ability to think in terms of code.  Their cubes and keyboards are either crappfilled or germ-free like a crazy woman's kitchen.  I marvel that they don't see themselves as a group that is completely set against themselves like little league baseballers with paycheks, on a field that has giant pothols and where the spectators are economically milked for every cent.  Oh well, will they eve elect a US President who is a developer?  LOLZ  And if not, why not?  Becaus:  They cannot lead.

Well, leaders need to become devs then, it's simple as that.  But for me this is like war college, going through the code.  I am taking my time, adapting myself to the unpleasant realities of programming.  Sure it's easy for some, and they get huge paychecks from soulless corporations --awesome for them.  But the rest of IT industry is killed by temp employers and revolving staff due to mgrs who really have no souls, frankly, to be
Frank-lin with ya.

IT itself is completely thrown wide open, and nobody on LinkedIn of FB or Twitter can explain it in a tweet or a FB post or LinkedIn (totally psyop for corporations)

I am kinda getting sick of even listening to mgrs anymore, I sigh with contentment evey second I am not in some stupid meeting.  I am not the only ranter on the IP radar, but I am peaceful and have intention toward a better way.  But this guy above dropping in and giving his "I am an expert and here's why mining is stupid" haha, it's awesome.  He really explains why one has to simply mine what blockchain you believe in.

But anyway I figured this would help, until I find which lines to correct, and figure out how to frikking compile under Linux, well, I might have something to try.  QUESTION:  Who can reccomend a decent simple Linux compiler like what Visual Studio 2008 has?  Is there anythig like VS 2008 in Linux?  I can't compile the Ben code in Windows which he knows, so if he does respond even with one line I would ask him:  What compiler should I use in Linux? (Ubuntu)

Awesome!  Well, "dead" is kinda rude, but you seem to sum things up so well.  Your first post was so long term in its scope, and your last post here was again such a long term vision, I mean wow, you really are building some cred bro.

But yeah, question above remains valid.  I am totally a dreamer, yeah like John Lennon.  Cool, you will always be welcome to drop your foresite and long term vision here anytime, I will look forward to it, and yes, I hope I can give value to Ben coins but if you show up here to sh** on them I will also be here for that.  Cool thanks bro!

But yeah, like I said, if Ben tells me to shut up I wiill.  In the spirit of 1776, sure, somewhat cracked.  But the first question is security, the second is fixing the difficulty.  Well, in terms of what I am doing.  I mean, looking at the code.

As for speed or cocaine or the need to go faster faster more profit much fasters, well, that's your problem.  Benjamin Franklin knows that good things are built over time.  Pfft, I even offered to send you an antminer in the good will spirit of Benjamin Franklin --you essentially think you are smart by sh***ing on people who mine but don't work the code directly?  If so you underestimate the people your money is flowing into. Knowing markets means nothing, knowing people means far more.

Okay thanks man!  But yes, poogasm question above also true: Nobody is fixing the code fast enough for the modern age.  Ben, at least PM me and I will stop posting but I will continue to mine, or, until the AllAbouttheBenjamins account is revealed as just a sock that was used to front the release which is also fine, people use fake registered accounts all day so nobody may eve use the account again tho somebody checks the mailbox.  No biggie, because, moving past these f***ups is kinda stupid.  We need to put our feet down and determine if there is a dev out there who gives a damn about A: ghosts, and particularly B: the ghosts of 1776.  That is the question fielded.

Efforts made by who exactly?

Efforts are being made to Fix the Coin, Perhaps changing it to the Original 64sec Blocktime instead of 10Mins will do the Trick.

As I said, I do not care what you think. I came here to ask, if BEN is fine, and I got answer, no. Than I asked, if someone is working on fix, the asnwer is no, just some old member bulshit. Thanks, have a nice dream, mine your dead coin. When you fix it, let me know, if it will be still on cryptsy I will buy it. Bye.

Thank you my friend what you said 100% is the truth..  There is no reason to mine, it's total f***in bulls***.  And yes, we all have psychological problems, do you say you have none?

As for your being new, yes, it's simple to reason that these forums are full of bullshit accounta.  Did you not know that?  So, I am simply asking where you come from, with your crystal ball?

But hell yeah buddy I am able to trollbox, and yeah, you can use your methods.  Indeed, nothing I can argue with your sage and knowing words above.  Yes, if I were to convince you to mine Benjamins on principle, at a loss in the present, well, that certainly would be a victory.

Wow.  You said so much salient truth above.  Especially the part about me being naive.  Damn my friend you nailed me to a T.

Welp.  Anyway I also like the part where you said "Mining is bullshit but Benj is cheap and I like the concept and also you are a naive fool who thinks problems will solve themselves" holy sh** man, I feel complete psychologically exposed.  Wow.  Thanks.

Okay so also I ask you: Does it matter that Benjamin the Coder said in his process, about contacting Benjamin Franklin in a seance?  Or, let us imagine you come from a country where spirit world is perhaps, not for us to know?  So there I ask if perhaps it is what we make it.  Yes my friend, I am a fool, you are right.  Fool is first card in tarot.  I know you know and you are smart.

Tell me again why u no mine?  Antminer I will send to you, it is not time consuming at all, it's like spending 20 USD or whatnot per month, to vote and/or to believe in something like technology.  Tell me wise friend, do you think tech is good?  I am naive stupid child, please do make me better, smarter, less naive.  Thank you my friend for your excellent and complete true post above, I will "Fix it, or dream your dream" yes you are right and yes it is known.  I am just filling time in the thread til Ben the coder tells me to go away.  I believe in ghosts, and I believe in Benjamin Franklin as having a keen interest in these subjects.

I have more questions but I will wait.  You shame me with your excellent mind, I will be quiet for at least the rest of the day.

I have read lot of your comments, and you seriously have some psychological preblems. And If you say I am noob, because I started to post here today, than I am noob. But true is, that I am right and you are naive. I am not miner and I will never mine. Cryptos need both, miners and traders. I do not mine, because I do not like it. To much time consuming. I prefer trading and buying longterm cheap coins. I hate pump&dump. Benj is cheap, and I like the concept. I have read thousands of posts, all the coins threads, I know almost everything about every coin, how they work, how are they popular, how developers pushthem, promote them and maintain them. What I see here, is you who thinks problems will solve themselfs. You are naive, there are houndrets of coins, new coins every day. And noone know how many will survive long term. But BEN is now practicaly uselles, 1 day confirmation is joke. Fix it, or dream your dream. And I do not care what you say, I am right and you and others know it.

The Ben ABE explorer (see first post) is now back up thanks to vual and yes it allows you to see what TX happening in the Ben blockchain.  Approx 2.4 million coins, they do move faster than the rate at which new blocks are found, but what we need are miners, not just market players.

When I was a broker, I always knew the greedy fools would deserve to lose, because greed is what the whole market runs on.  So, when you get plebes with cash in hand wanting to "make a score like the bog boys" just know: You are gamed and set up like 10x over.  I chose to leave and not exploit those who were clearly "asking" for it.  I couldn't live as other brokers did, selling greedy hpe, it's just a sick  modality to sell greed to the greedy.  [shrug]

So, just buy and hold long, whatever you value.  In addition to Ben and SHA mining gear, things like water, rice, body armor, ammo, are also useful as both barter and also for humans to survive.  Any authority that deprives humans of basic means to trade, will always fail.  So, in your analysis, I would be interested to know what you find in terms of "what groups are using their own coin to live"  

What coins actually have people using them to get regular shit done?  It's a fair questin with all the ^^^ market "experts" hehe.  So much BS trollboxy pump and dump it's sickmaking.  But yeah man, tell us what you need to know, what are you looking for?  One nice thing about the Ben explorer is it shows the coin burn rate not too bad but at 40 days average age I don't think enough coins are moving, we need more miners, more wallets, and yes we need the dev or some dev to show some sack and work through the code.

Every dev these days is a paycheck getter or an anarchist or whatever, no cohesion, so in the end, humanity cannot rely on developers, they haven't the guts to do what is needed nor can they wrangle themselves, nor do they have even a functioning guild.  Total chaos and disater in the dev areas, and so they focus on their keyboards for some next great idea while all their old work turns to dust and patchwork.  Sad really.

So I like a grassroots effort.  But yeah, uh, grass grows damn slow.  

It's cool that you are learning about cryptocoins, but, if you are a new user, don't "Buy as much as possible" please you sound like a total n00b pumperdumper.

As for what you say about cryptsy and the future, you don't have any idea, but what you sound like to me, is a market fool.  Why don't you become a miner?  People who play markets deserve to lose.  But those who work as miners, deserve to win, would you agree, new friend?  Okay then mine.

If you just want to make huge upside and downside comments in the same post as a new account?  You sound pumpy dumpy to me, just buy and hold whatever cryptocoin you believe in.  If it doesn't move fast enough for you, move on don't post shit like the above.  Thanks!  Let me know if you need help!

Also, there is no OpenSSL bug in the Ben client so to speak, but the servers need to be alert.  Marketfools will probably be fleeced, BECAUSE IT IS THEIR PASSWORDS AND THE CERT ON THE SERVERS THAT ARE THE RISK VECTOR.  Mining and using the Ben or Bitcoin client won't do anything bad in itself, people will be victims due to other failures, and also listening to messages like your above.  Anyway, feel free to contribute to the thread but bashing and future predictions don't mean crap when dealing with new tech like blockchains, they are all new and all are exploitation vectors --and that's without the markets and pumper dumpers.  Thanks!

I'm doing a research project on coin distribution for both older and new coins. I'm interested on gathering some data for top addresses and how much of the coins the top100 have. This along with the number of people (addresses) actually holding any amount of coins.

I have some info from bitinfocharts on a few coins but I really do need some data on other coins along with less exposed or new ones.

If anyone knows an explorer with this feature drop a line.

Ok, so the coin is useless. Is there a plan to change it? Is someone working on client update to fix this issue?  In my experience with other crashed coins, such bug has to be solved ASAP, or the coin is dead. It is traded on Crypsy, so the coin has value thanks to that, someone fix it, and I will buy as much as possible. If it is not fixed soon, Cryptsy will remove the coin, and there will be no future for it.

I saw you this morning buddy, nice to see the # of hashers rise for the 1776 Spirit.

Yes, it's a humble blockchain, but one with a future set firmly in the past.  Huzzah!  Slowly, pennies at a time, just as Benjamin Franklin would tell us to proceed.  It takes years to build something decent, and he would know.

Yes is it very slow, these last block have been murder except for one on which we got lucky.  

But, there are 2.5 million Ben and mostly the goal should be to protect the blockchain from the robo traders and the hater-pools that live to wreck coins.  I know them well in regular stockbroker form or the new iteration of geek form, pump and dumpers are the bane of regular investors (families and common folk I mean).

I am glad this coin is not proceeding that way, it is better to have grass roots and slow progression, as if gently growing a fragile plant.  It's not better to have a team of devs, because a lot of them have no common sense.  It is better to have as we do, a team of likeminded regular people, who have a desire to make something new, and who have suitable opensource code, with which to work.  We are in a good position, in terms of slow, steady growth and interest.  Well except Ben the Dev who seems to have lost interest unless Ben is made to merge mine?  I am glad Ben isn't merge mined it totally violates the spirit of a block chain, completely.  I am amazed that anyone involved with any blockchain would advise sharing proof of work, that's absurd.  But like I said, others can explain why they also don't like merge mining.

though there were a LOT of coins dumped at .00004 and so I love the way things are going: More miners getting interested, even after this coin has been hit hard by dumpers.  

The "same" devs minus Benjamin it seems, recently designed CC to be a tough coin to mine --but we already have that here.  So I am rolling my eyes as I see some of this.  I guess they'll make a nice pump off it, or maybe his silly face is silliy enough to wrangle to doge miners?  Hehe, no way will the dogies be happy with .1 coin per hour, hehe.  Plus his coin is gonna get smashed by the shorts once its usefulness has lived on.  [shrug]  We will see if Colbert has a brain or can he only make jokes?  Definitely he is the ultimate joke of a man, so we shall see if he has anything but jokes.  

I look forward to the future, but I mine Benjamins on principle, in the 1776 spirit.  When the flashes and pumps and dumps and ETFs and fake Enron like companies and shitty IPOs all fade away, I will be mining the Benjamins blockchain, assuming I have internet and electricity.  One thing I'd like to do is to build a radio packet-IP type localized experiment so that Benjamins mining network can endure outage of power and internet.  Radio-based IP is a big interest for me, because all the ISPs are basically worthless puppets now.  So loss of Internet will be a future problem, and of course bitcoin will be mined by the milspec servers in the artic for 1000 years, we little common Benjamin folk will have to figure out how to keep our blockchain up and our coins useable, when there is no Internet.  In the future I mean.  If there's revolution I mean.  Like, I am trying to prepare in the 1776 mindset as well as mine.  


edit

Oh this blurb across the top of the forum says" "News: ♦♦ A bug in OpenSSL, used by Bitcoin-Qt/Bitcoin Core, could allow your bitcoins to be stolen. Immediately updating Bitcoin Core to 0.9.1 is required in some cases, especially if you're using 0.9.0. Download. More info."

...So can we figure out how to fix this in the Ben client, or that something Ben also doesn't know how to do?  God this Open SSL was definitely sabotage in the form of sewing weeds.  So where is the code in the BTC client and shalln't we make the same adjustment to the Ben code?  Ben, do you give even the smallest of f*cks about your work?

edit

Okay so bitcoin QT does not use JSON-RPC but rpcssl=1 made some people nervous, but the client is okay, we assume (until we commoners become skilled 'nough to ken the code fully).  However all servers are the true target, because lazy server admins will have big problems.  So anybody running any server already knows by now that heartbleed is bi directional, in that the attack can go either way, servers can be used as weapon and also malware will be adding this little needle to their toolkit.  Screw all malware authors, just f*cking die already you d*cks.

Anyway I got worried when bitcoin upgraded, because we can use abandoned code if there is no major flaws in it.  But I haven't found any data to suggest the QT client uses JSON-RPC OpenSSL though there is a setting for it, it doesn't use it.  *whew* but server operators better all rotate certs and force password resets and monitor their servers like a hawk.  http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/22gq5e/heartbleed_bug_major_openssl_vulnerability_could/

In short it "works" ... just ... but difficulty is so high, and the hashrate so low, that confirms take a very long time (potentially days).  Realistically it could not, at the moment, be used for transactions requiring a reasonably quick confirmation.

Hello,
I read the whole thread, and I would like to invest into BEN few $$. But what I hate are bugged coins(I lost lot of money on CENT and I will never buy flawed coins anymore). There is written in this thread, that it took someone 24 hours to confirm the transaction. So my question is, is this coin working correctly? What is the current status? What is the real confirmation time? How fast can I transfer the coins. Is is usable to pay with them in real time? How many miners is mining this coin last days?

Thank you

cheers!
