Blackcoins checkpoint system was removed and nobody noticed? LMAO

Try again troll, not enough prople here will know what the implications are Cheesy

Haha, not my fault if everyone can't fathom the insecurities of PoS.

Hmm all it takes is about 3 of the top holders to stake and your point is totally fail. Go troll AC or WC fool.

Or the 3 top holders to go rogue. They each have around 4% of the staked coins. You are pretty much laying in the balance of the top holders to not screw everyone over.

The whole concept of cryptocoins is to not rely on the rich, but the masses.

#1 and #2 is probably MintPal. Doubt they'll mess with their own money and screw it up and lose everything when they can just take it. #3 and #5 are staking. Undecided

The rest are not.

Some in the top 20 have been dumping in recent days, a few, 30k-50k BC. Nothing of significance, just not too strong hands.

im sure blackcoin devs will adapt however they have to for decentralized checkpoints or pruning. regardless wc is a clone and so is ac and you dont "throw the baby out with the bathwater" ... so any model based of bc will always be inferior to bc because its not original.

But bc isn't origin... oh forget it Cheesy

I know some good devs, experienced in ctryptos, that might be interested in doing a code review. Pm me if you want them to take a look, once you get the release out.

yes and no... bc has a maleability patch that is useful... the fast confirmations are nice and very conducive for micropayments and arbitrage... that part is not original but important. And pruning will solve bloat i think. I also proposed a sort of proof of balance and not sure if its been suggested before. Most importantly their pow+pos indirect mining using multipools was original. They were the first full proof of stake coin to mine itself. All evident from its rise. Seriously though litecoin is a dinosaur that will get crushed my indirect mining and multipools. Blackcoin carried the torch on that one.

Anyways... yeah I will post here on Bitcointalk and on as many threads as i can. I want it translated into chinese too! hahaha I know they will love it since its bye bye fud. So much to do, so little time! I will need devs on my team to and I have a feeling once people see my software they will run wild with it. I am making 1.0 open source so yeah... it shoud shake things up like darkwallet Cheesy

We are having a live telecast of the Community Manager and Multipool Dev team answering questions this Thursday at 7pm, Do you guys even Know that?

Iconic I personally pm you and one more time would like to speak to you before the telecast Q&A. Ive said it before you are very passionate and have brought allot of projects to the table. It is important that we talk about your projects and this current situation. In my humble opinion, For the good of the community this misunderstandings have to stop.

I'm trying to arrange a meeting with u today so that we can all be on the same page moving forward. Everyone wants the best for BlackCoin.We just have to come together to promote BlackCoin.

Please PM Wizfarm in IRC.

Thanks

Please replay with your questions for the live event, Im still not getting a response from Iconic

Will the wallet be fixed so it will stake even if it is encrypted ?
Im assuming it is not possible otherwise it probably had been done already, will you then make it easier to unlock like MINT did ?

Wall Street Takeover Update

Instead of replying to multiple comments, I decided to address some concerns in one post.

Why are we using women? It seems trashy and gives BlackCoin a bad image.

Lets face it sex sells and almost every brand uses sex to sell. Women all dressed alike will garner the attention of everyone and that is what we want. The women will be dressed in black BlackCoin T-Shirts and black jeans or leggings. They will not be dressed trashy, nor will anything inappropriate be exposed. It will be tasteful and the women we hire will have a certain professionalism. No matter if you agree with using women or not, men love to see attractive women. And men will stop and talk, interact with the women, and of course take pictures. By the end of the day BlackCoin Beauty pics and videos will be all over the net.

Why not move this to Times Square?
Been there, done that. My favorite place to have a drink is the Living Room Bar @ The W Hotel Times Square. I am a regular there and as many of you know that area is flooded with people. There is something going on there almost everyday. The problem is 50 women in Times Square will not garner the same attention as Wall Street. Also, as I pointed out we want the backdrop of Wall Street in our photos and videos. We want to associate BlackCoin with wealth. If we really wanted attention we could also give away $5000 worth of BlackCoins to some random person.

This is a waste of money, why are we doing this?
You have to spend money to make money. Yes we could place an ad in a magazine or a newspaper, and yes we could send out dozens of press releases. But this is something that will create instant buzz and give BC notoriety. It shows that this community can think out the box and we are not just another alt coins. It sends a message to the crypto community BlackCoin is on another level.

Will the women be able to explain BlackCoin?
This is not a "lets educate Wall Street about BlackCoin" campaign. We could care less if the women will be effective at explaining the mechanics of BlackCoin. Lets be honest, half the people who are invested in BlackCoin could not effectively explain the mechanics of BlackCoin. That is why the women will have sell sheets and the cards. People who receive the sell sheets and cards will eventually do their own research when they are winding down and near a computer. The purpose of this event is to attract the attention of the media, and using the images/videos to go viral.

How do we know you can pull this off?
It has already been pointed out I have a huge ego. Roll Eyes

So my ego will not allow me to do anything less than a successful event. At the end of the day I want this to be perfect because it increases the value of my portfolio as well.

What if it is successful but we do not get the media attention we wanted?
We tried and that is all that matters. We can keep doing the same thing everyone else has been doing, or we can continue setting the bar higher. To be successful you have to take risks. If you are not willing to take risks then crypto is not for you.

We have a chance here to make history. If another coin copies us, we will still be the first to have done it. I say lets go make rypto history!!!

Hi all

I've just opened a web and logo design service here on Bitcointalk : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wulfcastles-web-logo-wallet-ui-design-service-590322 and I'm allowing people to pay in BlackCoin.

My rates are :
700 BC for a Logo
2200 BC for a Website

Here's a quick graphic I did for IconicExpert's Wall Street Takeover

(If you search through this thread you'll find a couple more that I've done)

Let me know your guys thoughts on the design.

in reply to the person trolling the stake photo, centralized checkpointing is not really needed at this time anyway. How would somebody be able to stake 51% if you look at the distributing nobody even has .5% of the coins. Its completely impossible.

Not trolling- all my favorite coins are PoS and this applies to all of them- but in a PoS system you aren't simply staking your coins you are staking coin-days: a function of the number of coins and their age. So you don't need 51% of the coins, you only need 51% of the coins-days that are being actively staked (you need 51% of the network weight).

Edit: Just realized Blackcoin has no max coinage.. Is that a concern? Particularly with the low PoS incentive?

I raised this about POS coins that use coinage to decide block creation a few days ago but was asked to remain silent. Then they spammed thr thread with long graphics posts to bury it Sad

So good luck with that discussion! Cheesy

It seems to be a useful technique for the devs. They did it to hide the fact they removed the checkpoint.

Don't the top 3-4 accounts have 3million (4% ish) each? Someone has a link showing the top 100 accounts.

Anyway, do you know when your trustless escrows will be released for beta? It would be worth a look Grin

Yes! I am releasing very very soon. Working day and night. 1.0 is for Bitcoin and will immediately start on one for blackcoin among other exciting things.
Right now i am just finishing up. There is lots of variables so I am going through and checking them all. 1.0 will be an unofficial release actually although I am going to want an audit from good programmers and people who want to start testing transactions and contracts

i think its funny that people are trying to supress the price of BC... the volume drop will not last once the competition starts on friday for the knc miner... ac and wc clones will get dumped like a cheap whore and people will realize they made a mistake

WC original dev was dumped and replaced with new people. The coin is now being taken in a much different direction than Blackcoin.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/whitecoin-takeover-proposal-future-plan-with-paid-development-589857

I read that Blackcoin just dropped checkpoints, when did this happen?

Whitecoin is going to implement decentralized checkpoints, which can then be leveraged for pruning.

Someone told me about BC checkpoints here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6484107

and this was my reply:

Quote from: r0ach on April 30, 2014, 08:18:17 PM

Oh, that's interesting. I just looked at their thread and it appears to have happened very recently, within the last 24 hours or something?

I still believe checkpoints are very useful and needed, just in decentralized format. It's a good security feature to prevent massive rollback and is also a logical pathway to pruning.

It sounds like the greatest threat would be from exchanges, best to have blackcoin listed as many places as possible so its never centralised too much. Its not like bitcoin is impervious, if a few pool owners colluded they also could gain 51% of a network, to me this seems more probable and requiring less people to implement a raid
