I'd like to dump too, but there is NO place where I can dump lol, and prices already felt so low, huge loss.
Almost no fucking buy orders, just some shit for a couple of BTC and that's all
So sad that coin with such perfect idea is dying while such scam as EAC got added on cryptsy

It is still averaging about 0.00036 BTC per DTC which is still good, but not as profitable as mining Primecoin. If the daily average per DTC drops below .00015 BTC, then I am going to dump over 50K DTC on BTER.

Also remember that the difficulty is very low right now even for CPU mining of Datacoin, and anything below 10 is too low for GPU mining of Primecoin. 

I guess people don't feel like trading on Bter, if gets to @1 I'm buying bulk.

DTC price dropped to @22... we are sinking with each day

Seems like a system error, do you have enough storage ? Take a look at the system logs (eventvwr.exe under windows) to see if there are hard drive errors there. If nothing works and even a "-reindex" doesn't recover your database, delete all the datacoin folder and restart it (backup your wallet first!).


On a side note, a miner is bloating the data fields of empty data transactions with this :
If you are reading this, care to explain us why ?

Guys does anyone know why do I get this error?
"Error opening block database.
Do you want to rebuild the database now?"
I press yes and I get :
"Error opening block database"

I have about 200 DTC in there damnit , what's going on!!!???
Heres my logs:
and my db.log is saying
EDIT : Tried removing the block folder and just download everything again , it stared , dled some blocks and then boom ; Error Database I/O

AFAIK, it would be impossible to build WeTube on top of Datacoin. We need proof of bandwidth and the system of moderators for WeTube to work in a completely decentralized manner.

The ideas are sort of similar, although the details of what is possible will only become clear as the code gets released.

What is very nice is that various groups are starting to realise that crypto-currencies only have value if they are backed by the assets of the p2p network - bandwidth, data/file storage and cpu cycles.  Projects like Curecoin and Gridcoin are trying to base themselves on cpu cycles, while Datacoin monetizes file storage.  Interesting that you have focused on bandwidth.

My feeling is that open source rarely duplicates, and that different groups tend to work on different aspects of the ecosystem.   For example, if your WeTube was built on top of Datacoin and Datacoin HTTP server, we would probably have a winning formula.  No wasted efforts, and fruitful cross-fertilization of ideas.  The Datacoin protocol would be tweaked to suit different media, and vice versa.

If you are worried about Datacoin "early adopters" I would say the coin is actually super cheap and can still be easily mined. It is only 2 months old.  And 2 billion will be released over the next few hundred years.  So plenty of time to get on the train.

Just my honest opinion.

that's not a problem, please post your address and I'll send coins to you for some months.
btw - good info about Mac, but you understand - it's better for potential investors to have native Mac app

see my post above if your interested in a fix for the peer problem.
MAC does work, get datacoin-qt.exe and run it with wine/wine-skin. not optimal but you can atleast have it on mac then

I suppose its from Bter. Today for example i bought a few more. And if you go back 3-4 transactions its from this address.
Same for some datacoin i bought a few days ago.
What do you think?

Personally i dont trust Bter that much to have my Datacoins there. I buy and i send to wallet.

Thats why we need cryptsy or another exchange.

And also guys we need a MAC wallet. Many complains. And many people still have problem connecting to the network when they have downloaded the client...

One third of all the datacoin in existance is here : DE5fExMsvuZv3WXC5ZjcskVhigs9VQrBYG 

as said, worth 5-10$ per month, thats fine with me (ie, no profit for me). otherwise this is going nowehre with datacoin...

how many coins do you want? 

i offered him to create the dnsseeder for him or even host it myself if the vps costs get paid (not much, 5-10$ per month). if someone would donate enough *coin to create it, id do it and make a pull req for adding the dnsseeder. therefore newer builds wont have the problems with not finding any peers.

he switched to HTTP server for Datacoin, I think that he has some kind of list of priorities.

was he online since the last time i posted about it? there hasnt been done anything wrt dnsseeder but i gave him enough informations to do it :S

That's great idea. You should write this directly to oocook5u who is core developer of DTC protocol, he is VERY experienced programmer, so I think that you can bring ideas to him and see what he says. He is interested in Datacoin growth and evolution. The only problem - he is online rather rarely, but if you're not in hurry, he'll answer.

I'm familiar with the problems associated with storing larger files in Datacoin, but are personal chains a solution to that issue? I've been thinking that personal chains would be similar to our system of moderators. Nodes basically subscribe to a moderator, and then the moderator decides the kind of content that can be stored on the node. This means that all of the nodes aren't storing the same data, and they can make sure they are still following the laws in their local jurisdictions. It's an incredible idea from Liberman. Then again, it's hard to look at the similarities since both ideas are brand new. I agree that all of these projects are extremely exciting. Hopefully we will be able to create the new, meshed Internet with financial incentives for nodes in the future.

Hello, we have seen your project Datacoin, and I'd like to inform you
that we are doing something equivalent.
Perhaps we can join our efforts in some way.

First of all, this is the repo of our project:

https://github.com/wetube/bitcloud

You can read first the White Paper, and then "bitcloud.org" which is the
protocol I'm writing.

I must say that, although we are going to a similar end, there are some
fundamental differences:

- We generate money from bandwidth sharing.
- We don't store nothing in the blockchain, just money transactions.
- We have moderators, which is a separate layer, and anyone can become
  one without technical skills, nor having to maintain a node.
- We are node centered, most of the work is done in the nodes which
  means that normal or anonymous users can access from a web browser
  transparently (they don't even need to know they are using
  Bitcloud). Our content is embedable in any webpage.
- We have a full descriptive language similar to SQL for accessing the
  bitcloud from any program in any place, they don't even need to
  download the blockchain.
- We introduce the concept of law, judge and enforcement, which is a
  form of very advanced Proof of Stake.

And probably there are many more differences, we are just scratching the
surface.

What we'd like to know is if you're interested in our project in some
way, perhaps we can join our efforts and make the best data sharing
protocol ever made, and change the world forever.

There is no way a single user or just 2, 5 or even 10 programmers are
going to bring this big project into existence. I think it is time to
go together before we do sub-optimal solutions separately.

We can meet each other in our channels, #bitcloud, #weetube and
#datacoin so we can discuss all of this.
