Topic: [ANN][BLC] Blakecoin Blake-256 for GPU/FPGA With Merged Mined Pools Stable Net - page 20. (Read 409679 times)

yeah looks down no idea if its maintenance was working on 7th thats exchanges for ya  

Edit:
in firefox I do now see that a place holder for crypto-trade.net with "Website Under Construction" and a countdown timer ~14 days (~25th March) so it looks like maintenance/update but time will tell 

The Crypto-trade link seems to be dead. Are they still around or just down for maintenance?

most are on Cryptopia rest are on Crypto-trade

no way at this time to exchange all merged coins, right ?

upgrading the eu3 server might take 30-45mins to complete done  

spot any issues please let me know cheers 

looking into the issues with eu3  

Edit:
DNS failed and that resulted in a huge log file taking all hdd space    (switched from providers to google now)

it was also having issues with loading some daemons once all space was gone  

reloading data now might take awhile also doing a backup too (done)

all wallets are syncing now   (elt/umo taking awhile to reindex)

eu3 is back online now 

Unlike with bittrex it's very rare that cryptopia delists a coin. Bittrex is bigger but as soon as a coin's volume drops it gets delisted. Blakecoin is nearly certain to stay on cryptopia

Although its a bummer we lost bittrex support, this led me to finally try out cryptopia, and I must say I'm really liking it. Cryptopia has a lot of features integrated, and good interface with no lag placing orders. Let's get some steady BLC trading going there, and one day bittrex will regret delisting

Also from what I can tell Blakecoin has been pretty stable value compared to USD, over the past year, hovering between 0.1 - 0.2 cents most of the time. The "downward spiral" is mainly relative to BTC, which has climbed pretty steadily this past year.

Sad to see this coin delisted from Bittrex, but I will keep my 20.000 Blakecoins.
It's always great to open the wallet after a couple of months and to sync within few minutes. For other coins like Monero it takes several minutes per day.

I have got a German book from 2014, which briefly presents 150 altcoins. I go through the list once every few months and cross out the ones which seem to be dead - by now more than half. I only invest in coins which I believe will still be around in 10 or 20 years, and I hope Blakecoin will be one of them.

Price is pure speculation for most crypto and highly volatile (hence why traders love it big swings = profit) *last action on BLC seen a swing of what 3-4x so yeah highly volatile yet no change in usecase  

lets take Bitcoin: Huge price surge(new high in years) yet some places dropping support for payment(Fiverr/Circle/Microsoft/Wordpress), removing atms(Room77/Southside), services closing (ChangeTip) = price up usecase down *maybe its just lagging

it is sad that price drops I do understand but also know its set by people too and why pay more when someone will sell you for whatever so a downward trajectory sounds like a great way to find the bottom  

either way makes little difference will have to price things in an affordable manner once the blake family is used for more than just speculation/trading/hoarding

What indicates usecase is price. And the price has been on downward trajectory. Not a criticism just an observation. All your above points are valid.

so you want more exchanges, is that really going to help increase value and who does the volume if there is a minimum you could have made the daily volume on Bittrex if you really wanted too  

in my experience exchanges result in dumping and when you have many exchanges then some people milk a thin profit from arbing between them but maybe I am wrong  

my plans are not so much about value/profit but real world use as I still feel strongly that is the key

what I think is missing still from crypto is use so many bs claims about crap that just does not work or is an unbrella for a scheme to "invest" in one form or another

whats needed if we leave the crypto ponzi crap out
1. Stable network with good block times close to specs *yep been good for years  
2. use daily by people *currently lacking imho
3. multiple places to use (games/sites/apps) *currently lacking imho
4. some place to exchange (at least 1 place else will need to roll my own) *not to spend much time/effort/money on as it is only required after main use case not before like now! so will save worrying about that till Much later  
5. other ways to obtain apart from mining/exchanging. to reward contributors/testers/players (ingame/inapp/onsite) *currently lacking imho
6. at least 1 dev who is contactable and active *no plans to abandon anything so unlike some other devs I will carry on (slowly as I also need to work from time to time)

daily use = demand = market price

what would be good news for the blake family is if me or others released games/apps using them but currently for me still work in progress *had many issues along way but what counts imho is that I am still at it not silent or awol and definitely not given up on my chosen use case which is games (design/creation/publishing/hosting/services)
  

Very sad. I know the devs on the blake family are sincere about bringing value to their coins but I'd like to see the downward trajectory turn around some time soon. Hoping that the coins get listed on the new Coinigy exchange. That would be tremendously good news.

eu3 has crashed working on bringing it back online now  


edit:
waiting on UMO resync

needed to clear(payout) some of the immature as they had become out of order and it was messing with job processing  

eu3 is back online now but will monitor as may have other issues

I am open to this hope it does come along 

no problem adding or making changes to accommodate decentralized exchanges within the code   

Hang in there. decentralized exchanges are very close to being realized then the centralized exchanges will be scrambling to keep their users and coins

with increase in BTC price and 0.5 minimum volume (Per Day Every Day! not once or twice per week) at Bittrex as I said before xmas I cant take up the slack so others can enjoy trading on that exchange

I had been taking up any slack in volume past few years but its at a point now and original budget set for this project has been spent that need to be practical about what funds are spent on and it does not include exchanges

I said it was upto community months ago, I spoke with Bittrex Support (Bill) and it was put on a exclusion list to give market an extra chance to make minimum daily volume but even though there was some action it is not a steady minimum 0.5 BTC every day so it should not surprise anyone its back up for delisting, just being on Bittrex is not good enough for some large traders anyways needs to also be on Poloniex, so no win either way  

as others have said when large interest around any coin/token/cash these exchanges will make sure they list/relist it as they live on fees/volume  

why do some traders love these large exchanges (Poloniex/Bittrex) vs a smaller like Cryptopia: in my view Software/Bots everything from advanced algo trading, simple ping-pong, scalping this is why  

but lets remember some other big name large exchanges that also had lots of software/bots for it MtGox/Cryptsy and long term we know how that worked out  


Note: Also exchange rates for Pound Sterling have taken a bad turn which effectively makes products/services 20-30% higher cost here

I agree with everything you said except that Bittrex is a more enjoyable trading experience then cryptopia. Just like Polo is a better trading experience then Bittrex. That's why Bittrex is #2.

Apparently, Bittrex will be stepping up their game with a new website which may make it a more desirable place to trade so I would not be so dismissive about BLC be listing there.

I agree with digit, there is no logical reason to force this coin to stay on bittrex. 

Have they not disrespected insulted the devs and blake coins community for long enough?   

Is it not time now to stop rewarding Bittrex for their behaviour and instead throw more support behind the other exchanges like Cryptopia that actually have a policy to not delist coins based on trade volume? 

Look at Cryptopia, they are now supporting almost the entire family of Blake coins, and no weekly threats from the owners of delistment due to lack of volume (its actually their policy to not delist based on trade volume)
How many Blake coins are on Bittrex? there are BLC, UMO, PHO & LIT and the 7 base markets they are paired to on Cryptopia. Thats a total of 28 markets on Cryptopia for the blake coins vs 1 on bittrex. 
So why continue  people to keep throwing money at these exchanges like bittrex.   PHO even has a BTC market which was never available on Atomic, it was trapped in a LTC pairing there.

Its time to move away from there, bittrex time is over.  its not helping a coin to continue with paying them imho.  The best way to send a message to these exchanges that employ these tactics is to stop paying them, move the volume to an exchange that is not set on exploiting a community.  , and let the blake devs keep more of their money, so they can eat better and less time, energy and money wasted to stay listed on a dying exchange like bittrex.  Why do they matter? - when the Blake coins take off those greedy buggers will add it back
