Hey guys!
How much dividends monthly i'll receive if i'll be holder of 100BTCD?

Its 5% per year - but if you stake 24/7 you will have actually a bit more through compound interest

5 btcd per year divided by 12 is around 0.42BTCD per month.

There's no syncing problem in BTCD wallets

I'm a BTCD hodler and I'm in BTCD since the launch . I kept my coins in 5 wallets and I had no problem with the wallets syncing from the beginning until today.
I'm on Windows7 and I used BitcoinDark.conf from OP . my wallets connecting under 10 seconds and syncing very fast and always number of my connections is 16.

People who have problem with syncing may be there's an error in their wallets installation or their operating system is in trouble. Cool


Most likely router firewall or windows firewall. I have 63 connections and never had an issue.

Really bad distribution. 500 people control almost all coins. If only one of the top 100 sells it coins, the price will drop.

Just for fun, I calculated some numbers from BITCOINDARK (BTCD) RICH LIST – TOP 500 (http://explorebtcd.info/bitcoindark-btcd-rich-list-top-500/)

Here's some numbers as of 12/21/2014 10:00 PM EST:

- Total number of BTCD : 1196483.84897169

- Amount in the Richest BTCD Wallet : 70703.08461362 (5.90923853 % of Total BTCD)

- Sum Amount in the Top 3 Richest BTCD Wallets : 148386.17967444 (12.40185397 % of Total BTCD)

- Sum Amount in the Top 10 Richest BTCD Wallets : 314404.72249349 (26.2773896 % of Total BTCD)

- Sum Amount in the Top 25 Richest BTCD Wallets : 516369.06835077 (43.15721176 % of Total BTCD)

- Sum Amount in the Top 50 Richest BTCD Wallets : 725975.85766507 (60.6757758 % of Total BTCD)

- Sum Amount in the Top 100 Richest BTCD Wallets : 944918.99597922 (78.97465534 % of Total BTCD)

- Sum Amount in the Top 500 Richest BTCD Wallets : 1187075.64221826 (99.21367875 % of Total BTCD)

And below are how other coins' rich lists look like:

BTC

LTC

Downloaded the BitcoinDark Wallet from the official site. I installed it but blockchain is not going to be downloaded. The right bottom connection indicator says "0 active connections to BitcoinDark network". What's going on? Do I need to do further steps to get it run?

I have no active firewall. I tried deleting peers.dat. Ive also tried the BitcoinDark.conf from the OP aswell as copying only the addnode values from the OP to my BitcoinDark.conf. Still 0 active connections. ive never had something like this before. All other wallets are running fine  Huh

And you are handling cryptocurrency with this kind of security system ?

Yes, for over a year now. Still no problems. All my wallets are encrypted with strong passwords and my accounts with 2FA.

Don't matter if you have a rootkit installed on your computer they can just change your DNS calls. And you will lose your coins with a middleman attack.

Meh I just want to know how to get my wallet connected actually. Thanks for the warning though.

Make sure your firewall isn't being a problem. I've posted these before:

addnode=ps00.bitcoindark.ca
addnode=ps01.bitcoindark.ca
addnode=ps02.bitcoindark.ca
addnode=ps03.bitcoindark.ca
addnode=ps04.bitcoindark.ca
addnode=ps05.bitcoindark.ca
addnode=ps06.bitcoindark.ca
addnode=ps07.bitcoindark.ca
addnode=ps08.bitcoindark.ca
addnode=ps09.bitcoindark.ca

Should work in a jiffy.

THANK YOU! That worked! Maybe should be added in the OP?
The name of my conf file is: Bitcoindark.conf (upper case B, not sure if that is important)

It is true that being a reference currency can be good for that currency as there will be more demand for that.

It's all in the OP, no need to parse newsletters...

"(BTCD) is the conversion coin between different currencies for SuperNET"...
Implies that it will play a similar role to XRP on the Ripple network.

Also, BTCD will stake 5% of SuperNET revenues, that's the Big One = low risk play on SuperNET...
If SuperNET revenue disappoints UNITY is overpriced... but BTCD can still win the anon coin sweepstakes regardless.

It seems that all resources are being poured into SuperNET, which is the best strategy...
The time to promote BTCD heavily will come... James has made it clear over and over that BTCD is central.


you are understanding well the plan. The bigger SuperNET becomes, the better for BTCD. And yes it is the XRP role in InstantDEX, not to mention teleport.

BTCD is in a totally unique position. When InstantDEX is active, there will be a lot more trading volumes and even if the price doesnt go up, having a lot of volumes in and of itself makes a currency more valuable.

Once I start sending out the first dividends and SuperNET keeps growing, the smart investors will discover the BTCD at the center of it all.

Until then, stake away. Oh, I have a really powerful feature coming with the initial release, but I will refrain from posting details, since last time I did many people got all confused

So I have looked up the SuperNET and NXT newsletters recently and got some questions.

So BTCD will be used as reference currency on InstaDEX and that is one of the main pitch for BTCD, other than Teleport and Tradebot.

I personally think that Teleport will draw good attention but I am not sure about InstaDEX and Tradebot.

Is there any perk of using InstaDEX or BTCD as reference currency?

It is true that being a reference currency can be good for that currency as there will be more demand for that.

However, LTC and Doge have also used as reference currency, but the volume is pretty much nothing compared to BTC's volume.

This is especially true when you trade some coins directly with BTC or other more popular currencies.

I would be glad if I could get an answer for my questions.

Thanks
unlike exchanges that offer DOGE or whatnot as reference currency, the usage of BTCD as the reference currency will be automated.

So to trade from anything to anything, it does 2 BTCD trades. It also means that from BTCD you are one trade away from all the other currencies and also the fact that it is in BTCD means it can be teleported

My syncing problem just solved itself after leaving the wallet open for 14+ hours. Crazy.  Cheesy

Anyone has an idea why the BTCD price is staying behind so much on the late SuperNet rise?
I really hope BTCD follows soon. Is the development still on track?

I check the rich list I posted sometimes and there's pretty much no change in top 50, which accounts for 60% of total BTCD.

Considering some 5K-split wallets, more than 2/3 of total BTCD supply stay still and thus, it is not that hard for 1 trading bot to manipulate the price.

IMHO, price staying behind is nothing to do with lack of development or something, it is more due to lack of interest in BTCD.

I can see many things are going on in Slack so I believe that the price will go up once BTCD gets some momentum, but it's hard to forecast when it will happen.

That's why I am just staking at the moment.

Your work is appreciated, hover I hope most people understand that 'rich lists' are meaningless.  Anyone with a large amount of coins can (and should/does) distribute them across smaller wallets.  99% of the largest wallets are not owned by individuals but belong to exchanges, mining pools, or payment processors, etc...  This applies to all altcoins, LTC, DOGE, DC, ZET, etc..

Yeah, that is true. I just did this for fun. Looking at some 10K or 5K wallets, it seems that some big whale split this share into many relatively small wallets.

Thanks for that numbers. What I dont get is the number of coins held in MGW. Obviously the multisig addresses are not displayed. Also it seems there are roughly 300k coins on MGW.  Huh

Yeah I was also curious about that. Maybe they are tokens?

      Guys my wallet doesnt sync. Ive added nodes from the OP to my conf file, and also Altcoin center's nodes. Ive also downloaded the full blk0001.dat And put it in the appdata/btcd map. Still no single connection  Embarrassed

      I think it is case sensitive...

      Was the big D in the OP the guilty party?

      Maybe they're dumping because the wallet isnt even syncing. Not with correct peers, not with correct conf. Atleast it should scare alot if not all new investors.  Roll Eyes


      Why not start over from scratch?

      - Backup your wallet.dat file.

      - Delete entire BitcoinDark folder from AppData->Roaming

      - Run bitcoindark-qt.exe

      - add the BitcoinDark.conf from OP to Appdata->Roaming->Bitcoindark folder

      - Restart bitcoindark-qt.exe

      - It might sit there for 30 minutes doing nothing before it starts syncing

      Ive did all this over and over. Its just not working.

      Try renaming your configuration file to: Bitcoindark.conf

      My configuration file has a lowercase d...maybe it's case sensitive.
