Chargin, "I find your lack of faith disturbing" Grin. Go to sleep, think it over. Discuss it privately with other Karma members. You can not afford to be dramatic at open forums. I can. Because I am not part of the team. At the end you will find that sky isn't falling. All of this is amazing. This changes to the coin are awesome. I understand that you have concerns, but believe me, my intuitive and analytical thinking are telling me, that soon after this changes we will be at top 7 of capitalization charts. I have noticed that you and 2 other members of our community have concerns on a concept base. I am really sorry about telling you this, but the war in crypto world is no more on a concept level. This was into the past. Now is all about innovation. And this changes are great. Do not fear them. Embrace them.

It may be the lack of sleep and other issues going on in my life right now but I'm pretty annoyed at how this has been handled.

Take a deep breath. We're all in this together. (Together we stand, divided we fall!). If you want to express what's on your mind you can always send a PM to any of us, saving the community any negative vibes which does not help anyone or Karma itself.

I hope you'll get through nicely from whatever personal issues you're having atm. Sleep is indeed our friend.

BIG NEWS! (Announcement 2 of 2)

Karma to Introduce a SIDECHAIN for Added Security, Support, and Blockchain v2.0

http://karmashares.com/forums/index.php?topic=389.msg1875#msg1875

Great news!

Lol I'm sure you had no idea that was coming...

Well you did something I wasn't really expecting based on announcements, you closely missed what I think is best.

Like:
-Pegged against gold (or similar, I can't imagine a better peg)
-Variable interest, depending on how it works exactly
-Can buy KARMX during PoW

Dislike:
-Merged mining (any mining) to get it started
-We are using a potentially less valuable PoS system by market cap to help secure a more valuable by market cap PoW system. It isn't just an added security measure, it can lock in abuses. It is like if Bitcoin were to decide to use Blackcoin to implement check pointing. Why can't people who hold Karma directly secure Karma directly? My coin holdings (lets say 1 billion for arguments sake, which it is not the amount I really hold) would be a much better protection than somebody that mines or cheaply buys KARMX on an exchange - who could theoretically buy them for a fraction of my holdings. KARMX could become worthless just like any another coin unless you can always trade KARMX back into Karma at a set rate and rebuy at a set rate, however you may just end up with nobody holding KARMX or KARM. You are far more likely to have nothing at stake on KARMX than KARMA.

I hope PO* is something to do with actual KARM holdings. If it is releasing that as 3 out of 2 announcements is foolish because there could be billions of Karma on the market before you have a chance to announce it.

I hope people doing trades for 100s of Litecoin don't know the 3rd of 2 announcements.

I will not buy KARMX to secure KARM, that is an unreasonable expectation.

We are looking at a catastrophic mistake if done poorly and a big mistake if done correctly, with the level of mistake centering around how little or much KARMX is involved in securing KARM. Luckily you left out Karmashares so nothing can go wrong in that respect.

May be you will find this is a dump question but i found some old Karmacoin in old wallet and start to thinking Is there a way to use them? I mean like new karma? Or they are old and inconsistent with new coins?

not a dump question at all.. I am happy you held to your coins.

what wallet version is it?  in you wallet go to Help - Debug Window and look where it says client version in Information Tab

Are you synched in as well?
My client version is v0.8.6.2.4-g000002-beta
Not synching. It is stays at "3 weeks behind" ( 167856 block )
Can I install new version wallet and put old wallet.dat in to new wallet folder? Or it is not working like that?
thanks  

Yes. You should be okay to synch up with this version. But its best you update.
But fist synch up with your current old wallet. Follow the steps below

To synch up.

Code:
in your wallet go to help | debug window | console and type in:

addnode altcoin.dk:9432 add

addnode altcoin.dk:9436 add

close the popup window, wait for your wallet to start syncing.Wait up to 15-30 mins


Then once you are updated. Download the newest wallet from the first page. Remove karmacoin-qt.exe and move the new karma-qt.exe that you downloaded. Run that and you should be up to date Smiley

Edit: i just realized that the if you run the new karma-qt.exe it will install a new folder under /app data/roaming/karma/

You old wallet might be under /app data/roaming/karmacoin/

If this is the case?HuhHuh
Thank you for your help. I manage it my way Smiley
The old wallet get synched (after 1h). I install new wallet and just send coins from old to a new wallet. Everything went ok.
Thanks everyone

Does anyone know if this pool: http://karma.p2pool.altcoin.dk/ still has the 20% bonus on every block active?


I believe there are no 20% bonus here.
I mined in the "classic" pools and in this p2p pool. I saw no difference, I've got the same amount of coins in 24 hrs.

you are a very negative person since you started popping up here... i've just been testing out mining at this pool and if i look in my wallet i have 2 payouts, one of 190 karma and one straight away of 38 karma.. and guess what 20% of 190 is 38 so the 20% payout is working

Nope dude, I mined for KARM in both types of pools and I received the SAME amount in 24 hours ! This is displaying my wallet. PERIOD.
I have already a theory about your 20% bonus and this suddenly change of algo..  To the andromeda galaxy via BTC market, right ?
BTW, this dude easteagle13 still owe my the bounty for following on Twitter. Never paid to me, and this made me  suspicious and I start some investigations.  Cool
Good luck with your coin!

Easteagle is a friend! Everybody who is a problem with him has a problem with me. However, the thing with Karma is that results are related to its causes... and will fall back on those who are responsable. So, no need for fighting those who do wrong. And of course, this is cryptoworld. Much fraud, such sad. Understandable that people are suspicious....

We are working hard to get this done properly. Of course we are not perfect. The twitter tipping bot went off in between. Everybody who did not recieve their bounty: please make a post with your Karma address: I will double it.

Hello!
I am back and here it is my address: K9BHMZ3mMZh8qrCYJ6ffTcddEBjMCKKSXE
I will donate the entire amount to TPB (IMHO this is a good cause) if KARM will worth something on the BTC market.

BTC is on the horizon! But first, we need to add some additional security features to help guard against a variety of attacks. That is our priority now for the continued health of the coin, especially as we move back into our BTC pairing. We've already begun work on it and will likely be finished in a couple of weeks (with a good lead time for exchanges and miners).

If we're trading on BTC we expect a TREMENDOUS amount of volume compared to where we are now. This also means additional security measures are needed from what we have. If we don't fork soon then we risk someone else forking the coin for us, which nobody wants. (And nobody wants 200 confirmations just to move money around.)

Thanks. Based on previous comments that were made and in particular reading into what I just quoted from you. I guessed 40% chance of what I commented on above, 40% chance of what I want and 20% chance of something I never even thought of.

The second announcement is coming shortly. Writing it now, but we've already hinted at it in the first announcement

I hope if there is a "side chain" that is meant to be checkpointing Karma it isn't Karmashares under any algorithm or combination thereof (being PoS+PoW or whatever) because that would be a catastrophic mistake if done poorly and a big mistake if done correctly.

Just making Karmashares PoW or PoS or anything in itself could be a major mistake.

Even making Karmashares easily tradeable could be a big mistake.

I will not post why nor answer why by private message. I'm already shooting myself in the foot enough by posting this in the vain hope that it can avert problems before they arise.

Yes this is worth posting even if it is highly confrontational.

Chargin.

These announcements are not about Karmashares, but Karma coin  Smiley

What makes you think it has anything to do with Karmashares?

GOOD NEWS #1 Karma Will Adopt the X11 Hashing Method!!! http://karmashares.com/forums/index.php?topic=381.0


host image



X11:
Good.

Automatic Checkpointing to prevent transaction rollback via 51% attacks.
Great if done correctly, could be catastrophic mistake if not.

Time Travel limitation to reduce the ability for attackers to try and force on old or too-new blocks to change difficulty adjust behaviour.
Excellent.

An improved retargeting solution in Nite's Gravity Well. This will allow us to respond quickly to hash rate changes and recovery from high difficulty. This will also help prevent against multipools abuse.
Excellent.

Quote from: kosmost in official announcement
I thought we were going PoS?

As some of you may know, we have debated implementing various changes to core Karma over the past couple of months. We've considered PoS, PoSV, DPoS, PoS 2.0, PoI, PoN, and several others. Some of our community called for an immediate switch to PoS, which we were open to but wanted to spend more time researching. After talks with other devs, miners, users, and a crypto-economist we decided that the combination of X11 with a separate PoW/PoS sidechain would be best for the overall health of the coin and economy.

While PoS is interesting from the store-of-value perspective, we are not focusing only on that aspect of the coin. We are focusing on creating a micro-economic system within the traditional crypto world. This means that our plan is to create a self-sufficient network of coins, services, and other value-adds such as Karmashares, where we will be able to augment weaknesses of one protocol with benefits of the other. With this in mind the idea of the PoS sidechain is to generate greater security for our coin and also lay the foundation for future endeavors we are planning as a community. These will focus on breaking the chasm between crypto and real world economics, thereby enabling us to enter the profitability loop and to become our own engine of growth without relying on others.

What is the Second Announcement?

Our second big announcement is hinted at above, and will be posted in another thread.

I hope if there is a "side chain" that is meant to be checkpointing Karma it isn't Karmashares under any algorithm or combination thereof (being PoS+PoW or whatever) because that would be a catastrophic mistake if done poorly and a big mistake if done correctly.

Just making Karmashares PoW or PoS or anything in itself could be a major mistake.

Hi everybody,

This is just from me as I think that we missed a point with promoting the change in the algorithm: X11 is only one aspect

Next to X11 we implement:

Automatic Checkpointing to prevent transaction rollback via 51% attacks.
Time Travel limitation to reduce the ability for attackers to try and force on old or too-new blocks to change difficulty adjust behaviour.
An improved retargeting solution in Nite's Gravity Well. This will allow us to respond quickly to hash rate changes and recovery from high difficulty.

sorry for spamming but I think this is important


This is extremly important and it's not getting the recognition it deserves. We're putting a lot of code to strengthen the network. Tons of system defense to minimize any exploit. Out an end to time warps and cut off the code from releasing faster blocks.

exactly, this will give the exchanges the confidence to give us our btc market back.
