Are the privacy features of BTCD working?

The answer is no...
Which means it's really still a cool sounding concept with no production environment history.

There is no bigger clusterf*ck on earth than Monero...
And you guys have managed to fall way behind those XMR assholes...
While the Devs go on slack.. and joke endlessly about the price of BTCD.

Just stop. Any public CEO acting in such a juvenile manner... would be ousted in days.

And it's not even the price of BTCD that concerns me, which is miraculously holding up quite well...
It's the liquidity that's almost totally dried up... and is now a tiny fraction of XMR...
And LESS THAN freaking ANC = near total lack of interest in this project.

OK. Back to the Happy Talk.




I have to agree the BTCD price is holding up well comparing with other alternative coins. I am a supporter of BTCD from the beginning. I got into most of James projects if I can. People that still holding BTCD are not going to sell and people don't belive the project already sold their coins.

Only time can tell if all the projects are going to come together.

Not yet. James has done most (I think) of the coding and they're working in API mode. You can play with them if you like, but they haven't been thoroughly tested/debugged integrated into the client.

*Bump*

Development Update and Donation Request:

Dear BitcoinDark Community,

BitcoinDark development has been ongoing behind the scenes for quite a while and we are now approaching a time when that development will begin to bear fruit.

One of the new developments includes a new HTML-local-host Wallet GUI to replace the old QT version.   The plan is to first release a basic port, in terms of features, of the original QT wallet and then add additional features/enhancements in subsequent versions. The front-end is almost finished and work on the back-end of the wallet will begin soon.

                                                                         

The HTML Wallet will bring a host of new benefits to BTCD users:

-GUI with an updated cutting edge look that is easy to operate 
-Combination of HTML and Native Ramchains allows wallet access using multiple devices
-New tech features, such as Teleport, can easily be added to later client versions
-BTCD tech will make it to the BTCD client first before it becomes available on the SuperNET branded client
-Future in-client access to SuperNET affiliated coins and services

Donation Goal:

We are aiming to raise 10,000 BTCD to help see the current development through to completion.  Not only will your donation help contribute to BitcoinDark development, but also will act as an investment to enhance the future value of BTCD. 

Uses for Donation Funds:

-Back-end GUI development                                           (~2000 BTCD)
-Marketing/PR for upcoming tech releases                     (~2300 BTCD)
-Continued Webmaster and Weekly Blog payments      (~1200 BTCD)
-Hiring additional developers and specialists                (~2500 BTCD)
-Bounties for apps that utilize BitcoinDark tech            (~2000 BTCD)

Please help support BitcoinDark development by sending your donations to the following Official BTCD Donation Address:

Sent! Hopefully will be able to send some more but I like the idea of supporting with bitcoin, too.

Does anyone know if it's possible to embed messages in the BTCD blockchain, like BTC? Presumably it is, but I haven't seen that in the current client.
Also, average number of blocks per day? Is it 1440 (1 per minute)?

Has anyone else noticed the 3 "BCTD". is this a typo for "BTCD"?

Thanks xrobesx. That mistake is on me.

I think I accidentally pulled from the front-end developers earlier work and didn't spot the mistake.  English isn't the native language of the guy we have doing the front-end work so there has been numerous spelling/grammar errors that have been fixed from earlier versions.

I'll get those images changed out with the updated versions as soon as possible.

Great to see the progress the BitcoinDark community has made since the launch.  This effort to organize bounties for expanding development is especially exciting.

I have a few questions about the recently announced request for donations.


- 281K BTCD has passed through the official donation address.  Is there a simple explanation for why such a large amount of BTCD has passed through this address?

- Who is managing the official donation address?

- How will it be decided who gets paid, and how much they get paid?

- James was saying we need manpower for testing more than anything.  Would hiring testers or paying bug bounties fall under the "Hiring additional developers and specialists (~2500 BTCD)" category?

- Can you give an example of how past donations were used to increase the value of BTCD?

- Are the following statements correct?

Each member of the BTCD community is encouraged to donate ~1% of their BTCD holdings for us to meet the goal.  1216485*.01 = 12164 BTCD

If each member of the BTCD community donates ~1% of their BTCD holdings, this money will be invested in increasing the value of the remaining ~99% of their holdings.

@juicybirds: Good Questions:

1) I'm not exactly sure if it is a block explorer error or what, but previously there were at maximum little more than 1k btcd in donations.

2) Torrn is managing the official donation address.  He has been responsible for holding donations and making payouts.

3) This admittedly is an area that can be improved upon going forward, but as of now these decisions are a consensus between me, torrn, and btcddev.  Unless a payment is a promised fixed BTCD amount payments can change as the value of BTCD changes.

4) No, there are no plans to help pay for SuperNET related testing unless the BTCD community calls for it.  The additional developers and specialists category is meant to cover payment to hire developers for core support, GUI support and updates for future versions, and possible specialists in areas such as marketing/promotion.

5) Previous donations were used to pay for the website, webmaster, blogs, and to help kickstart front-end work on the html wallet.

And yes, if everyone donated 1% we would certainly reach our goal  Smiley

edit: As Cassius stated above, we are also working to get a BTC multisig account set up for those that would rather donate BTC instead of BTCD

There are also some plans under way to accept BTC donations, so that people don't have to give up their BTCD stakes.

Great news for BitcoinDark. Progress is urgently needed. I was a little worried about my BTCD stake the last time.
