Gotcha, sounds fantastic. So this would make it fairly easy for people to write their own tradebots that interface with the network/blockchain via the supernet api? Will instantdex be able to handle the high frequency trading that happen on conventional exchanges? I assume this system somehow accommodates a lot of this off the blockchain? If this is as powerful as it sounds, I'm a bit surprised more people haven't been talking about this. No offense to the legitimate exchanges out there, and I'm sorry so see their efforts being made obsolete, but people need a secure solution and this is the most elegant solution I've seen so far.


I think you have summarised it quite well Smiley

it is localhost HTML
the server runs on your computer (and also on everyone elses computer)

people dont seem to want to submit commands using text JSON API requests, so we are making GUI's that do this and present the info in a visual way

(HTML in browser) <-> [127.0.0.1 localhost interface] <-> { SuperNET API codebase } <-> networks, blockchains, internet, etc

The above is a simplified "diagram"

The HTML in the browser is essentially just an easy to use way to issue API calls, which are what implements all the decentralized logic, along with interfacing to all the coin's blockchains, etc.

James

P.S. and yes anybody with sufficient knowledge can make GUI

Apologies if this is an obvious one, but I just saw the GUI screenshot of instantDex and noticed it appears to be served html via a browser. Who ultimately hosts the web server, does that not imply centralization or is that just one example of an interface? I'm guessing anyone with sufficient knowledge of how everything communicates could make their own GUI?

Tech looks really promising and I like James's philosophy, so I really hope this takes off.

any idea what www.xpool.ca paid out to miners today?

yeah, we just finished.  We paid out 78+ BTCD Smiley

Any problems, please PM or post to the Xpool thread linked in my forums sig as I may miss your post.

Cheers!

www.xpool.ca

Great job, nice to see your pool growing...
And great support for NXT + very interesting SuperNET coins like BTCD, FIBRE, and BITS.

In general, SuperNET coins have been great to trade in 2015...
This week VPN and FIBRE have staged big rallies... while OPAL announces new revenue streams.

Alts with revenue in the pipeline is the place to be going forward  Smiley

it seems bitcointalk has suspended crackfoo for providing information that was specifically requested. The priorities here are quite strange. There are no rules against DOXing someone, but post info on how the official multipool is doing and you get suspended!

Freedom and decentralization for all, unless it goes against the wishes of the powers that be.

Anyway, a recent result: https://nxtforum.org/index.php?topic=8816.msg173757#msg173757

He is posting in slack (where most of the people are now) and the NXTforum, which doesnt use arbitrary rule enforcement to push forward their agenda

What different roles do BTCD and BBR play in SuperNet and InstantDex?

BTCD is the reference currency by which all InstantDEX currency trades will be paired. (For example, BTC-->Doge will really be BTC-->BTCD-->DOGE behind the scenes)

BTCD stakers will receive 5% of all revenues generated by InstantDEX and SuperNET.

http://104.131.45.236/instantdex

Matthew

are dividends just paid to BTCD stakers in the form a BTCD?
yes, this is the only way to maintain privacy
I also think this could be a very good way to get people some small changepods that are untraceable as the source of these funds are the mere fact of owning BTCD, so then they can be used for change without any risk of being correlated to any specific person

James

P.S. since most dividends will be generated in non-BTCD form, they will have to purchase BTCD to be able to send out the dividends in BTCD

Using SuperNET client 2.0 beta, how is it possible to sign a message for my BTCD address? Is it even possible to extract the private key of the SuperNET addresses somehow?

By the way, I have updated my simple BTCD block explorer to show some of the progress on the InsantDEX GUI. Having some CORS issues though so it's not very functional. However, you can see that it is progressing nicely!

If you run it locally, you can see all the orders listed, switch orderbooks, etc.

BTCD, plays a key role as the highway for transactions within the Supernet. It will get dividends from SuperNet and Instandex on top of its POS staking. Here's a couple links to help get a picture:

I'm not as familiar with BBR tho. Sorry.

There's really nice support building on Bittrex atm! Things are looking up in the BTCD sphere; I'm excited to see how things progress..... Smiley


NWweight:173,961


Converted most XMR and DASH I had to BTCD.  If devs make it, BTCD gonna make them look like toys.



Good call on the DASH. You might live to regret the XMR liquidation though, it's a good compliment to BTCD. I still can't understand why the monero devs snubbed James (probably ego & fear), but it doesn't mean XMR is a bad investment.

 I tried Supernet beta client and was immediately sold to BTCD. If I'm correct, whoever owns any Supernet coins will be  few clicks away to convert to BTCD for anonymity purposes. I think that would make some big amount of tx and ofcourse occasional buying pressure on markets. But more important from what I understand lots of tx will make BTCD even more anon. Big opportunity IMO. But all depends on devs as usual.

So did I with most of my litecoins and some other alts. For me, BTCD is the most promising 1.0 coin out there at the moment.

Need a spur of the moment temporary pow , just to throw something different in the mix . something no other coin does . That would be wicked . I think it would be the wow factor of coins and gain more interest , possibly even boost it .


I have followed btcd for a long time , just after I missed the pow stage . And I have liked it every since I first saw it . It is one of my top 5 favs in crypto .
