wow bittrex this early in pow... that's more than a lil disappointing, oh well I guess there will be plenty of time to buy cheap coins from multipools/farms now
What I am doing now. The mining part is over and now it is accumulation through fear and weak hands.
Nice job BTW Judge. I sat back and watched, decided to get in. Have a fairly large holding now and will be picking off the droppings on BitTrex. I understand you have the staking issue and the Mac wallet issue to deal with. You seem to have the staking issue in hand and I am guessing one of the Mac types here will fix the wallet shortly.
As far as everything else goes it looks really clean and stable. Network is fast and the wallet works Any idea yet what the first target of value add is and what it will cost to implement?
Thanks for the support! I really appreciate it.
One thing I feel is wrong about altcoins now is they are in a rush to bring some snazzy feature to pump their coin. I am very against it. My first goal is to make Judge Coin the best coin that it can be. I think the PoS setup is a good start but I am not convinced the current definition is the best. I want to have that debate. Judge Coin needs to be able to be stacked against any coin and say as a coin it is the best setup.
Once the coin is the best coin it can be with the best wallets for each major platform including web, android, and ios then I would like to focus on utility.
Judge Coin needs to have utility. Where can you spend it? I want a push on that.
None of this will happen in weeks. This is more a long term methodical project. I hope to weed out people who expect instant gratification.
I do want to have organized community meetings soon. I may rent a conference call solution for that.
It's no problem. I like what you are trying to do here. This is how you actually make a coin that is worth a damn. BTC and DOGE and etc.. didn't just happen overnight with a pump and dump and everyone left. You need a community that believes in it and is willing to help.
My question on the new features was two-fold. I was curious what you have in mind, and I am willing to kick a few shekels in if I see something positive. Get the Mac wallet sorted, and the staking.
On the staking issue though, is there anyway to talk you out of letting that run for another few days until block 6000? A few days is a long time in the life of a coin at the beginning. If a fork is necessary perhaps just get it out of the way and let the people holding JUDGE see some POS coming in?
Regardless good luck and I am picking up the weak hands on BitTrex.
The reason we need to do the hard fork is that the PoS staking has not kicked in. Essentially the PoS code needs to be fixed. The launch dev is working on coding the fix. It is a domino type effect. The coin total calculations were based on many of the blocks being PoS blocks and not PoW blocks. PoS blocks would be a lot smaller than PoW blocks. Each block pays 500 coins. PoW is supposed to end on block 43,200. If there are no PoS in the mix then there will be 21,600,000 coins, which is more than the advertised roughly 15,000,000 coins. In order to adjust for that I am having the launch dev end PoW earlier at block 38,640 instead of block 43,200. This would potentially give the coin a total of 19,320,000 coins. However, since PoS blocks would kick in at block 6000 that should reduce the total to the advertised coin total of 15,000,000. I believe it is important to hit the coin total target.
The current goal for the coin is to get the coin long term specifications perfected and the wallets done right. That is where I need the resource help right now.
Once the coin specifications are best in class and the wallets are done, including web, android, and ios, I think we need to be looking at utility uses and work on "where do I spend Judge Coin?" I would like to get the resources together to implement transacting Judge Coin.
I believe the wallet should not be a swiss army knife. It should do it's job and do it well. A lot of development should actually be outside the wallet.
Hope this answers your questions.
