Woah...

Someone just bought 87 BTC on Bter!

https://bter.com/trade/BLOCK_BTC

This is fantastic news!

Also, there are now buy orders on POLO higher than the ITO.  This might be better spent on Trex to go to the overall funding.  Just saying.

To commodify ethicality is to ethicise the market

The ITO is to fund development. Funds first, code later.

If people don't like this, they shouldn't buy BLOCK.

Nonetheless we created the Github repo early in order to build trust with the community. It's an open source project and we want to indicate this, and also allow coders to get involved if they want to.


You sir have my respect for all what You are doing here, but You can´t be serious with this statement. This is crypto and You generally asked for $1m.. I am aslo pretty sure that there was some statement that "most xbridge code is already wroten" in this thread, but I don´t have a time to dig for it.

I stated that part of the XBridge code is.

In addition to the code in the repo, there's the Xnode code. This will be incorporated (in modified form) into the XBridge code at a later stage.

Ethereum doesn't exist, yet they got a whole lot of BTC. Why? Because they have an incredible idea. Same applies here.


Well it was not so hard:


As to Ethereum - They have Vitalik Buterin, among others well known and respected ppl. Furthermore they have quite well working proof of concept.

Thanks for finding that. Nice one.

Well, I hope that there'll be an Blocknet-enabled Ethereum wallet before long. Makes every bit of sense.

Lies have been exposed? The truth was twisted by "sdc investors", who are using the old cinni em dev's for their SDC project, which is the same EM code in aero

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9439093
Smurf,
isn't true that the same investors who quietly exited cinni after hiring dev's to implement the CINNI EM [and leaving the CINNI community to rot], are the same investors involved with SDC? And used the same cinni EM devs for SDC.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Dan

sdc dev is cinni dev?
uh-oh the true about this scam sdc/shadowcash is being exposed!!!

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/shadowcash-shadowcoin-sdc-scam-exposed-847952

Rynomster is not the Cinni dev.

He was contracted to develop Cinni's EM. That's all.

Do not bash the SDC devs. They were not involved in the smear campaign.

To commodify ethicality is to ethicise the market
For anyone still wondering about Dan's ability to code, I have had a private discussion with Xander Shepard recently. He does the Linux builds for XC and is listed on the XC team roster on the official website.

He has seen the private github repository and has verified with me that Dan makes very regular commits and that he is indeed a skilled coder with the experience he says he has.

I just wanted to help clarify this matter.



My view of the situation so far is this:

Dan is probably more of a networks guy than an A level crypto developer. Evidence seems to suggest he's paid tens of thousands of dollars for outsourcing. The break down of this exactly we're never going to know. I'd guess a lot of that money has been paid to Christan Howe and that he's done the vast majority of development for XC. With Dan possibly coming up with the ideas about the mixer and such. I'd bet that Dan is in fact very technical and does have a lot of specific domain knowledge in his professional field, but that he's not necessarily the lead developer type. None of this in itself is inherently bad.

We do know that he paid loljosh to create XC. He's never publicly admitted it, but we can see in that screenshot that we have the additional evidence for that now as well.

The problem as I see it is that his image has been cultivated to be some sort of crypto coding god. "One of crypto's best" as everyone likes to throw around. And XC has built a kind of cult of personality around him. This ways parlayed in to his "freelance" work with Prometheus, including the code reviews.

I will say this though: if XC ever actually goes open source, and their mixer does actually turn out to be as good as it's been sold to XC holders as, and Dan was the designer(but not the coder of it) then that would be a positive mark for him. If it's tested by third parties and the code is reviewed by experts, and it does what it says on the tin, then that would be a good thing. Until then though we have no idea, and I don't know why it hasn't been open sourced yet. Because a true decentralised trustless mixer would probably shut a lot of people up and provide some evidence that at least someone was able to design some legit tech.

Read the pastebin of the conversation between the SDC devs and the XC team: https://gist.github.com/atcsecure/cf6a478ef3169cefdc6d

You'll see that Dan is way more than a "networks guy."

He's an "infrastructure developer", who "started back in the 80's[, and] outside of XC most of [his] work is mesh networking/development for IP over RF." He's a "full systems guy, the whole 9, linux through security and windows (ug)" and has done numerous secure systems for government and corporations.

He did not "pay loljosh to create XC". Neither is it true that he's "never publicly admitted it." He has.

He paid loljosh for a standard PoS clone, which Dan then turned into the unique thing that XC is. Loljosh does not have the skills to create anything like XC.

One thing everyone should realise is that two conflicting claims were presented in the smear campaign:
- Dan can't code
- Dan is a master coder and that's why Prometheus valued him so highly, and used him to create so many coins.

So let's just get this nonsense out of the way forever. Dan is a master coder. He's a uniquely skilled and highly experienced systems architect.

Importantly, being a systems architect means you don't have to work on all the low level stuff. You get other devs to create various bits and pieces for you. How else do you think XC has achieved such a ridiculous rate of development? Look at the timeline: it would take more than the 1000+ hours Dan has sunk into XC for one person to create all that.

Ahem... the Rev 1 mixer tech was open sourced. Go and look at it yourself.



You are quoting what Dan says about himself and saying because he said it that it is fact. Wow. Really?
Ask Kennedy/Green about his skills and you will get the same answer. But does that make it true?
A git means nothing. That could be pasted it. There is evidence that the use of british english is all over the github.
The other person being mentioned as proof that Dan is a master coder is none other than a xc team member.  Roll Eyes

So which is it Lee?

- Dan can't code
- Dan is a master coder and that's why Prometheus valued him so highly, and used him to create so many coins.

At least get the FUD to be non-contradictory.


Any further remarks on this topic which do not contribute *new* information will be deleted.

I've got 2 issues at the moment - hopefully some of you know the answer Smiley.

a) My wallet isn't synchronizing anymore (and thus not staking)
It just goes to 88% and then it stops, keeps hanging there.
Restarted and tried 'repairwallet'

b) on Bittrex BLOCKS is still disabled. You can buy and sell but you can't transfer it to an address (or put BLOCKS into bittrex for that matter)

a).  Save your wallet.dat file and delete everything else from your Roaming folder.  Restart the wallet.

b) Blocks remains disabled on Bittrex until the official market opens.  This prevents withdrawals/adds to their wallets until the ITO conditions are met.  Also after the offering ends, there will be a 48 hr window where a BUY WALL will be set up, so those that want out can get out.

b) on Bittrex BLOCKS is still disabled. You can buy and sell but you can't transfer it to an address (or put BLOCKS into bittrex for that matter)

You can buy at the ITO price.  You can not currently sell or transfer any Block to or from Bittrex during the ITO.

After the ITO is complete, if you bought Block on Bittrex, you will have 48 hours to sell them back at the ITO price if you so desire.  During this 48 hour window, you can not transfer Block to or from Bittrex.

After the 48 hour sell back period, you can actively trade Block on Bittrex.
