gotta let a coin be a coin
March 16, 2018, 10:04:22 AM
Just so you all are aware and can have a voice there is a debate on the Slack channel on whether to move to PIVX or follow the DASH codebase. Currently, just about everyone has voted for PIVX. If you feel strongly either way then head over there and voice your opinion.

It's alive  Shocked

From what I understand ..this coin is based on DASH ..thus they are waiting for the Dev's of DASH to make some fixes to the code

before they move on and release Helium? Is that the crux of the issue now? If so anyone have any idea of a timeline just on the DASH fix?

thanks, just trying to put this in some kind of perspective/timeline

Isn't this a really bad sign for HELIUM itself then? Whenever there is a bug or some issue with the code that requires an update or a fix, this community has to wait for DASH developers to act? Or am I misunderstanding this?

I am looking for clarity on this myself...but, from what I understand this is the reason for the delay...I suppose it makes sense, as a fork....this is also true of say

Litecoin and Bitcoin ..in that litecoin is a fork...I suppose it depends on how open DASH devs are with Helium devs....on keeping them in the loop..it is not a big

deal with LTC and BTC but it may be a big deal for DASH devs just not liking forks like Helium or something.

But yeah, clarity on the holdup, a timeline on the supposed 'fix' needed by dash devs ....would be helpful..even if it is just a 'ballpark' this summer of 2018 as a guess



If you take Litecoin I don't think they are in any way dependent on the development of Bitcoin. In fact they are much quicker when it comes to implementation of new features. That's why they are also called something like a testnet for Bitcoin. There is a different mutual interest in LTC and BTC than in Dash and Helium I believe.

link on HOW to get masternodes when it happens again please (or at least the process)



This is the info on it right now: https://www.heliumlabs.org/v1.0/docs/an-introduction-to-masternodes


bit confused...how the heck do you get 1,000 HLM to run a masternode, if there is no HLM yet? (befuddled)

So do you setup up the masternode FIRST in some manner and THEN when HLM hits ..fund it after the fact? (in order for them to keep track of nodes?)

thanks...

brad


edit: ok Spreadcoin? or has this ship sailed?




Brad, the airdrop happened some time last year. If you held SPR in a wallet you'd get the same HLM at some point. I missed the boat, too. I found out about this effort about a month late. The only way to get in would be to buy HLM on an exchange when they launch the coin. I'm hoping it won't be too high, because I really want some masternodes myself.

They're still working on specifics on the whole thing, but if it is similar to SPR masternodes then this guide may offer some guidance on how it might look like: http://spreadcointalk.org/index.php?topic=106.0

hope this helps some.

I can have understanding for slow start, but I received today mail from Cryptopia about unsuccessful login attempt. It says that after third one, account will be locked. Advice is using exclusive e-mail address for Cryptopia.
Too much time passed, not knowing how long it will take more. Give us any kind of wallet (paper one is good enough) to move the coins from exchange. It is bad practice keeping them so long there.

Cryptopia only locks for 24 hours, I've done it before.

So Dash has 3 security bugs that were discovered during the bounty. Dash has a large development team to fix those bugs. Helium has been financed out of pocket by the developers. Since Helium does not yet have the funds to hire a large development team, they were waiting for Dash to release the update to save months of development time and costs.

 Things have changed though, from what I understand, Helium will launch soon but remain Dash compatible until after the security patch can be added. Then it will branch out. Helium needs to gain steam so the Treasury can start funding a core development team.


After the 'branch out' will it still be x11 mineable? Or by 'branch out' you mean it will go POS coin or something? (I plan to mine this coin if possible with x11 miner)



 That will be decided by the Masternodes. Given that POW is a dead end, I imagine it will go POS eventually, or something else if new tech arises. But that is not on the roadmap at the moment. I think many of us are hoping to revolutionize development speed, transaction speed, and the services offered by the platform. It's been discussed modifying the governance to make it more dynamic, but changes need to be approved by the Masternodes. So early on is a critical time, w can only hope that a stagnant culture doesn't develop within the governance.

HLM blockchain has not activated yet so there is no way to transfer HLM from exchanges. We are keeping HLM as IOUs in the exchange. If something happens to cryptotopia than we have a bigger problem to get hlms. When they activate the blockchain we will have wallets and we can transfer but atm we can only wait for devs to finalize things.

They've been ramping up with Graham's help. The latest updates have been encouraging. They are based off ox X11 and planned on D3s mining for coins. I don't think that has changed.

Well I'm definitely glad to see that team members are giving updates, but they need to be making sure they're coming to Bitcointalk so the majority of the project's followers can see...

Need a(nother) community manager? Wink

I plan to deliver many great updates to our community here. When they are ready that is  Cheesy

I think at this point most of our followers are spectating the various Slack channels.
Even if the majority of your followers are in slack, you should still update your thread for the few people who still don`t want to use slack for privacy purposes.

I just gave you an update. There is also nothing against making a spoof email address for your slack account.

There has been quite a lot of activity on HLM Slack recently. From what I've understood the community mailinglist is having some issues so an update may or may not have been sent out. This is a TL:DR from all what was said in the last couple of days:

The next DASH developmental milestone would require considerable reworking of existing code. Rather than release Helium on the existing DASH codebase and then face a possible fork and a lot of rewriting of code they have chosen to wait. This is a logical choice, but shouldn't have been sprung on the community who invested in SPR to get into the airdrop expecting a much more imminent release.

You should also be aware that there will be some waiting period after the DASH update while our devs actually code and test Helium. I'm expecting a Q3 2018 release. Q2 would be a nice surprise.
