Topic: BitBay OFFICIAL BITBAY Thread Smart Contracts Decentralized Markets Rolling Peg - page 256. (Read 542115 times)

This should make no difference. This is not one of those scams where the scammers still have involvement and are set to gain from here on. This the type of scam where the people left are the scammed. Therefore there is no need to treat them as a pariah coin.

It is simply that people do not know about bitbay or do not understand the advantages and features bitbay offers.

When the new templates are out and we run some campaigns to get people to use the marketplace , then we will start to see a growing number of people becoming involved.

Speed seems to be the main issue, but there is only so much one developer can do.

As a community we should get together and form a foundation so that we can discuss marketing and other things that can be done to assist bitbay.

Before marketing we just need to make sure everything is spot on with the market place. I think we need to get on to POS3 , get all the bugs ironed out that we can. Get the blockchain thing set up so people wishing to use can sync up in a few mins. Have all the instrucitonal vids and everything  in place so total noobs can come , see how to use it, and start using it with minimum effort and stress.

The main problems btc is facing right now are problems bitbay should seek to avoid. We need to have a way of voting on things and a way to ensure that bitbay can scale up to huge adoption if required. We don't want to be held back by huge blockchains and slow tx per sec.

 

unfortunately many people only know about Bitbay because of the ICO scam so when you say Bitbay thats all they think.

A few positive news articles would be great for Bays PR

I invested in this during the Ico long ago and I never sold anything. Good to see the dev is still working hard and that the community is lively and growing. Good!
 

Yea there is a small chance but seller has last say he doesn't have to ship if the arbiter seems spotty or has a bad record a weird record or.no record at all. I do believe dde is way to go long term but we already been thru that.

Yeah its funny that a few people got upset about it. Considering when BitSqaure responded he didn't actually explain why the Arbiters deposits were safe from theft. It wasn't really even described in his paper.
Then he said the deposit went to the 2 of 3 and later he said it went to some super-arbiter or something. In any case, thats not safe for arbiters.

I do agree choosing arbiters is better than random selection. Its still possible for a person to fake identities. And arbiters dont really have a way of telling who is lying but consumers but still its better than
random selection

Syscoin is fundamentally different than Bay in that it is blockchain based and not strictly p2p maybe the market values that more currently?

BTW David nice writeup on reddit about ob.. that's why I let buyer pick the arbiter because of mutual consent. Auto assigning arbiters is a big no no.

I think many people be ignorant of BAY at the moment
The whole community should promote BAY!
BAY is on of the underrated coins i have ever seen...
We should change this.

You are not alone, none of us understand either. It has been the best software in crypto for years.

Your guess is as good as ours.

HI, there are other good news for the future?

I do not understand why BAY and RBR is so undervalued?!
Sys coin is not better than BAY or RBR and is pumped..

yeee linux builds!
nice (and a lot of) work! 

Excellent. This is ideal.
Eventually would be great to have the latest blockchain auto connected to bitbay wallet for new people.

Great work. I think most would freak out if they knew how much work goes into things like this.
Can rat4 not help with this block signing issue?
Would it be better to go pos3 before release and we get a lot of new users or does this not matter?
I see syscoin tries to claim first decentralised market place? that coin is a copycat of bitbay really.

Just an update for cross platform builds:

Finally got Mac 32 bit working... it was a long day. Mac 32 was a hassle since so many things arent supported for whatever license issues or who knows.

Linux 32 and 64 bit builds now work, everything should work on many platforms (we have tested wheezy debian ubuntu and jessie)

So for now I've only got one more to finish we should still have the by the 30th although packaging them is a little bit of work.
This build will not come with the new template however it has tons of fixes and most importantly opens our user base.

The coding of the template should come with much more ease after that.

It also looks like multisignature staking will require a fork to POS 3.0

I'm trying to understand block signing a bit better, but it seems like we will just fork eventually. Since Cold Staking requires an extra output to 6a with the
block sign key (unless I'm not doing it correctly or there is an error in the source)... in that case I would need another way to sign the block or just wait or fix it which might be a distraction.
Too bad since staking generates more coins in POS 2.0

For now, I can test this in BlackHalo however since I hold less coins there live testing is a lot slower (an hour to find a block)
Will do those live tests today or tomorrow and finish the Mac 64 bit build.

Lastly I need to make myself building scripts so I'm not making 15 different builds (BitHalo BlackHalo BitBay for all 5 platforms 3 times for each build!)
I've already got a windows script which I made last month for faster building. However, running at least 4 VMs these other ones take longer.

So we are on schedule! Give or take a couple days. And after this template work will be easier since there will be less distractions unless we encounter new bugs with Linux/Mac distros(hopefully its all good).

Heck I wasn't even paying attention. So it's no longer a bootstrap but the blockchain!
Wow! I synced up in about 2 minutes with a new data folder. Thanks for the service.

Is there anyway the file could be authenticated by a hash or something? This really could take away a lot of the leg work with the developers keeping bootstraps up to date like on our OP or when we add the bootstrap file to bitbay.market

Granted there should always be multiple options, but heck if we just had a way to verify authenticity for new users just as a fail safe for their protection, there would be no reason why we shouldn't link any setup guides  for faster sync times with cryptochainer included as well? Wouldn't that do the trick?

Cool! Thanks for the update!

BitBay blockchain, updated as of 4/22/16, is available on CryptoChainer.com

Yea. I'm having a hard time with transferring an acceptable video quality to youtube. I'm just using open source OBS software.
Anyways... Completed a 'how to install the client' and 'how to create your first account' video. Working on a bootstrap video next. Heck with all the features there's going to be quite a lot of videos to make. It's the best way though... Visual walkthroughs are always better for noobs to use to learn quickly. And when I say noobs, I'm mean I'm trying to make it easy to understand even for people who've just discovered what crytocurrency is.

Hey, that sounds cool. Have you got any links would be cool to have a watch when you're ready.

Yeah this is true. Slack can be pretty active sometimes and others bitcointalk is active. Lately though it looks like we got a lot of new members.

I guess some only are active when price is moving. Others are busy testing, making videos etc. We have a lot to get ready for the release, so that limits the time we can spend on BCT.
