Just got off a call with Tim and his friend who as an active trader and well versed in bots. Thank you by the way Daniel, and Tim for setting it up. Although the Cryptocurrency markets are unlike any others, we were able to pick up a few things that could be of interest for our bot building program. They may require more advanced calculations, like CryptoBroker mentioned about the bands and x day moving average, but the bot building program can evolve over time and hopefully we can build useful tools for everyone while helping to meet DNotes long term goals.

It may be ages before my mob gets into bot-trading, but it’s fine to see so much happening in this community. Got a bot. Got a book forthcoming. Got discussion about P2P. Got Cryptomoms humming along. So many other cryptocurrency communities seem a little lackluster at present.

Great article Brandon, very thought provoking!

Thanks, I'm hoping this will pique the interest of firefighters around the world and encourage them to learn more about blockchain technology.

Excellent article. Is it posted on LinkedIn?

Sure is. It can also be found on www.ff4dc.com

P.S. http://www.firerescue1.com/ asked if they could re-publish your article with credit. So we may see your article there soon as well. I'm sure it will reach a lot of the right people for it there.

That would be excellent, I've been a big fan of FireRescue1 for many years.

Good job, Brandon.

Interesting short article on adding Altcoins to Bitcoin ATMs. I am definitely in favor of this. Even though there would be little trading or usage at first, it would offer exposure to coins such as NOTE to curious users and those on the "fringe"

http://cointelegraph.com/news/should-btm-companies-offer-altcoins-in-their-atms 



I think you are right, that could certainly make it much easier for folks to get involved, and not just in bitcoin. We'll have to add this to the DC recap.

Pretty interesting article, Bitcoin as a Corporation. I don't foresee bitcoin becoming a corporation, but some of the arguments are interesting.

Bitcoin as a corporation makes sense. What is Bitcoin otherwise? A protocol? A community? These sorts of things do not exist in the legal framework. So, there must be some compromise.  When the anatomy of an online creation community is dissected, what’s left to behold is a organizational type structure that reflects the modern institution. The question, then, is simple: Is Bitcoin most like a government, a private corporation, a non-profit or a church? This might be the sort of things discussed in a court of law. Of course, the final decision might have implications for Bitcoin development and users.

Now, forget Bitcoin. Let’s look at some Bitcoin 2.0 technologies. In particular, Ethereum. Ethereum took on nearly $20 million worth of bitcoins in a pre-sale. Ethereum does not consider itself a corporation. But, if it were, what it did in terms of the pre-sale is akin to an unregistered stock issuance.

Ethereum developers and community, similar to Bitcoin, considers the project an online creation community, not a corporation. But, having taken on $20 million, new stakes are raised for the Ethereum development team. If their vision fails, and many people lose their investment, law enforcement investigations could ensue.

In the coming years, how the definition of Bitcoin evolves could have wide-ranging legal implications for the technology and its users.

Because protocols, nor online creation communities, fall under heretofore existing regulatory frameworks, a ruling maybe in order to regulate Bitcoin beyond its currency, property and commodity attributes, and regulate it as an entity.

DNotes


Some limited features available, namely using purchase by percentage of available bitcoin. Download
This would be a limited feature Alpha release, so very limited testing has been done. What is the risk?
As long as this is run on a separate PoloniEx account, with limited funds in it, and you do not set the API keys to allow withdrawing (by default withdrawing is disabled), then the risk is probably limited to over purchasing DNotes if the application misbehaves. I don't see that happening, but you never know.

How do I set it up?
-Register a brand new PoloniEx account.
-Once logged into your new PoloniEx account, click the wrench in the upper right hand corner and select API keys.
-Create New API key.
-Download and unzip the Accumulator.zip file to a folder.
-Open Accumulator.exe and enter your API key and Secret, then click save API keys.
-Deposit whatever amount of BTC into your new PoloniEx account that you are looking to purchase DNotes with.
-Wait for the BTC to confirm. Then you can adjust your bot settings and click the Start Bot button.

Some notes:
The application breaks the purchases into hourly amounts. If the bot already purchased too much, it will wait an hour before re-calculating.
Time is set to UTC time, to match PoloniEx.
It does require DotNet 4.5 or higher. If it doesn't work, you will likely need to update DotNet.
I won't be providing Mac or Linux versions in the near future, if there is a demand at a later point, we will definitely consider creating them or offloading to a trading bot developer.
I am releasing this with limited functionality to give the community an opportunity see how it works and comment.


Great instuctions - I've got it set up!  Smiley

Using the 'Purchase DNotes using __% of your total BTC per day' - just to be sure... I gather this means they are purchased on a declining balance method??



Good, glad it all made sense.

Yep, your balance will decline slowly.
I forgot to mention, if it can't purchase the minimum it just won't post buy orders. The minimum order is 0.00011 BTC.

Since I've never worked with a bot, I will wait at least until the second round of testing.

No worries, I'll see if I can figure in for some extra protection functionality as well, to anticipate problems.

This is a extreme, Russian Finance Ministry Proposes a 2-Year Prison Sentence for Bitcoin Adopters. It is gross that any government can enforce such rules on its people in today's world.

Experts of the Russian Interior Ministry and financiers believe that the use of surrogate money threatens not only the Russian economy, but also national security.

Therefore, the Russian Finance Ministry has developed amendments to the Criminal Code, which propose to introduce responsibility for issuing cryptocurrency – fined in the amount of half a million rubles, or sent to correctional work for up to two years.

Commonwealth Countries 1  vs.  Russia 0


Commonwealth Pushes Member Countries to Declare Bitcoin Legal

The Commonwealth of Nations has released a new report that calls on its 53 member countries to speak out about the legality of bitcoin and other digital currencies.

Published on 3rd February, the report is the result of nearly a year of research conducted by the Commonwealth through its Working Group on Virtual Currencies. The group was commissioned following a roundtable event convened last February by the Commonwealth Secretariat, its main governmental body.

The report found that of the countries under its mandate, only Bangladesh had deemed that bitcoin and alternative digital currencies were unlawful, and that even after this declaration, such activity continues unabated.

With this in mind, it concluded that member countries make a "positive determination on the legality of virtual currencies" given its conclusion that the "prohibition of virtual currencies is unlikely to be effective."

The report reads:

"Financial regulators and central banks should consider making public statements on the legality of virtual currencies and the applicability of any existing legislative frameworks. Education and funding should be provided for training for law enforcement."

Overall, the report provides a comprehensive overview of developments in the bitcoin and blockchain ecosystem, with sections ranging in coverage from its more positive use cases in payments and remittances to the use of the technology in cybercrime.

Concurrent with member country concerns about crime, researchers even attempted to access a "dark web crawler" for purposes of the report. However, due to delays in the acquisition of this resource, any findings were too early to be included.

The Commonwealth of Nations includes 53 states in Africa, Asia the Caribbean, Europe and the Pacific, including such notable markets as Australia, Canada, India and South Africa.

Regulatory recommendations

On the subject of criminal offenses, the report recommended that member states move to ensure their laws apply to the technology while collaborating more broadly with other regulators around the globe.

The report advised that regulations be applied as necessary to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, pointing out that, to date, this has meant overseeing ATM and exchange-related services.

However, the paper acknowledged lawmakers would need to take an "innovative" approach to any rulemaking, given that crimes can still be committed by digital currency users who are not converting funds into government-backed currencies.

The paper went on to encourage member states to make public statements on how the use of digital currencies falls under tax laws when they are used as a medium of exchange; update legislation related to the proceeds of crime; and extend consumer protection frameworks to cover the industry.

Regulation was notably not recommended for distributed ledger use cases of the technology, as the report read:

"Any regulatory and legislative frameworks should focus on interactions with fiat currencies and avoid attempting to regulate the underlying decentralised ledger technology."

Evidence of use

More unique to the report was its attempt to quantify how widely used the technology is in Commonwealth member countries.

Using public sources, researchers ultimately found evidence that the basic Bitcoin Core wallet had been downloaded in 46 member states, though use varied sharply.

While the report acknowledged it suffered from a lack of available data, it did suggest that bitcoin use is correlated with Internet access, with the "countries with the highest levels of Internet penetration" having the highest wallet downloads.

That is excellent news. The commonwealth of nations is a very powerful group of countries. I am in agreement with their conclusions and recommendations:

"Any regulatory and legislative frameworks should focus on interactions with fiat currencies and avoid attempting to regulate the underlying decentralised ledger technology."

Regulatory compliance should only apply when fiat currencies changed hand with digital currency, such as an exchange that accepts fiat currency for digital currency.
