I believe VTC are considering implementing stealth addresses which I like because it would placate a lot of the concerns around being completely anonymous.

Normal addresses just have a basic secure hash? What are the features of stealth addresses?

I'm still reading up on it. Here's the VTC thread that started me looking into it: http://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/comments/2690jj/vertcoin_darkcoin/

As I understand it the current anon implementations make it difficult if not impossible to trace one's own transactions, even from your self. With stealth addresses your transactions are anon to everyone else except you are able to trace your own transaction history as you hold the private key.

yeah something like a second layer, wich protects the core chain from direct access and works like a handle for request of websites, ATMs, Gameengines and so on  perhaps with a permission system, wich lets the user control those features, like in social network apis, for example "do you whant to grand xxxx, to access information / functionality yyyy"

No problem thanks for your questions. Personally we just like the shorthand "DISTRO" when talking about the currency value. "DistroCoin" is a nice name for the coin we feel.

I agree about the DistroCoin being the best and classiest official capitalisation for use in the formal context. Perhaps it could appear that way as a main heading in the OP, so it appears in it's formal context to everyone right from the start.

I think regarding anon features, we would be best taking the path of BlackCoin, which leaves anon functions up to third-party development if they so wish to do so.  But the coin itself does not need to include anon features as a fundamental.  I think anon is a distraction for the core developers to avoid.  That effort can be spent on other areas.  Also, the principle of distribution upon which this coin bases certain fundamentals, is a bit contrary to the principle of "darknet" anon style features.



I agree, privacy is a good goal, but not every coin has to jump on the train, just because DRK had some succes.
We have enought coins that focus this feature, diversity power.
Maybe an "API" like plugin specification would be great, e.g. "the Firefox of Cryptocoin"?
This would lead to inovations, would make it "upgradable" and is also a great promotable feature.
Currendly there has to be a new coin for each inovation, instead having a modular system.
Writing this, Ideas like a second, parallel, patchable, sandbox like blockchain engine are flashing through my brain ...  crazy brain
 

This is great! So your talking a plugin features for websites? To upgrade the usability of the coin? We really like this idea.

To get community involvement we have also decided that the community decides on the development you want next. So please community suggestions are welcomed and at the end we will have a vote, then we will place a bounty for the specific development. We DO NOT want to go along the road of anonymous transactions as we don't believe it lends itself to transparency and mainstream adoption at this point.

will this be a side line thing running with things according to the whitepaper? or instead of, because the whitepaper and your ideas and plans from it are what is drawing mine and many peoples interests

This will be a sideline, to allow for other people to come in and develop services for us. Everything stated in the whitepaper is on the table for us and what we feel is fundamental development. But the whitepaper is just the initial distribution so more things will be added.

Thanks very much to your comments Raxe.io.  I like the sound of the iOS wallet timeframe.  Hope it goes well!

I'd like to ask if we can agree upon an "official" capitalisation standard for use when officially referring to this coin.

Is is DISTROCOIN?

Or DistroCoin?

Or Distrocoin?

I know this doesn't matter to some people, but believe me it does to some - we need a consistent official way of capitalising the coin's name when used formally.

It's not something that should be appearing one way in one article and another way in a different one, etc etc.

This development is interesting.  I have a few questions and concerns.

1. With all due respect, why is "the developers logo (RAXE) in huge letters" the most dominant thing in this thread, and in the whitepaper?  If you were promoting "RAXE" or "RAXECoin" then sure, plaster away.  But as it stands, it is - when used to such a large and dominant degree - very distracting from the main point of the thread, which is not "RAXE", but "DistroCoin".  I believe you should have a serious think about the priorities of what is being promoted here - you??, or the coin (and it's own merits)??

2. You need to be more specific about the things you want for bounty-work. Saying "have at it, folks, whatever you think of" isn't the most effective motivator, imo. It invites community apathy. If you give people at least semi- specific things to work towards then it may attract the attention and work of specific people. What do you actually want the community to look at contributing?

3. Please report on progress with iOS wallet. Is there even a vague ETA? e.g. "probably within a month"? something else?  It's one thing to say something is coming, but another to keep the community's interest and faith that it is actually happening.



1 and 3 are valid points, More activity and updates on this thread would also promote a higher trade volume.

But you have to understand with number 2. This dev has made countless wallets and websites for other coins and has proven their coding skills and sold their skills for hire. offering bounties for specific things? that they themselves have already coded hundreds of times? or have the knowledge to do so themselves?

So for the Dev to supply any exact bounty plans wouldn't really work, anything he can think of he can code, but if anyone who supports the coin from the community wants to do something for the coin, they can msg him and likely will be paid in some form of bounty



Point taken and I agree. I withdraw my statements regarding 2.

I am still interested in 1 and 3, should anyone care to comment on them.

arteleis, I have no allegiance to any other coin nor any negative agenda here. On the contrary, I have invested in DIS and would like to see it go far. That is why I am here and asking questions I believe pertinent to it's future.  Please don't insult me Smiley

1.) RAXE is to show that it is a software development backed coin,  people can look into what we have developed. This is the reason for the company logo. DISTROCOIN has it's own predominant logo as well and we feel it's the marketing centre piece. That's just how we chose to market it - on the basis of development strength.

2.) When we asked those things, we are looking specifically for creative ideas and community input. In our eyes this is the complete opposite of apathy as it stimulates creative ideas and intellectual development not only software development but other growth and development. We can make more specific bounties for people if they would like but we would like to know first what the community wants to develop.

3.) The ETA for the iOS Wallet is 6 days now, in a post yesterday we stated it will be around a week ETA.

Thanks for the input everyone we appreciate all questions and stimulating conversation.

The android application has also been upgraded as well.

Kind Regards,

Raxe.

Awesome coin, but i think the dev should cut the supply in half, or even less.
100 million is too much.

it's after POS, after POW it's 12.5 million
