Hello,

I just wanted to know if a new BTCD wallet will be released in a near future ?

Thanks

currently InstantDEX is being added, it will look like a normal exchange, but will be decentralized
Telepathy GUI has also been mostly done
Teleport GUI is partway done

So, there are many different parts to it. Maybe we can release a wallet before all the features are completed.

Last week you didn't care about dumpers and you were even asking for people to dump...... now they're idiots. Why the sudden change of heart cloudboy Huh

No disharmony intended, I'm just always curious when someone does a 180 like that.

Just because they are helping me out doesn't mean they aren't idiots. I've been buying hundreds of bitcoindark.

but within InstantDEX, the BTCD will be the default reference currency, due to several factors. Primarily due to the availability of sufficient inventory to provide liquid and low spread markets and its direct tie in to telepods, but also psychologically, I think having fewer zeroes in the price is good and it is much closer to the EUR than BTC, in fact I think it is very close to GBP. maybe that is biasing me more than it should

There you go! InstantDEX trading will use BitcoinDark as the standard trading pair! This represents the status BitcoinDark holds within this project.

With a zillion possible trading pairs, it is not practical to maintain liquid low spread orderbooks for all possible pairs, however (similar to XRP), if you have a reference currency that has liquid low spread orderbooks for all things, then you in effect get liquid pretty low spread (2 tx) orderbooks for all possible pairs.

So, instead of N*N orderbooks that need to be funded, just N

I chose BTCD to be the reference currency, cuz, its BTCD!

so if supernet is a succes btcd must explode ( more 0.1 btc ? )

BTCD will definitely do better the better SuperNET does. The more people that use SuperNET, the more people will use BTCD and also there is the 5% revshare the BTCD stakers will get. My work with DB MGW basically gives me the list of staking addresses, so I can pretty easily calculate which accounts should get what percentage of the dividend.

Now just need to generate dividends to distribute. I prefer not to make any specific price predictions, but it makes sense for BTCD price to track the price of SuperNET, not in lockstep as that is not how markets work, but rising in tandem

What's the difference b/w adding altcoin center's additional nodes and not adding it?
I got lazy and didn't add the nodes, but I am staking fine so I am just wondering.
Thanks

My understanding is that if you don't specifically list the nodes you want added via either addnode or connect rpc parameters that the system basically queries all currently open nodes and connects with as many as possible unless -maxconnections parameter is specified. Basically, either you provide IP addresses to trusted nodes (that you know have valid blockchain) or you trust bitcoindark-qt to find appropriate nodes for you to connect to.

adding addnodes doesn't limit you to just those nodes nor should you consider them "trusted". Adding some simply tells your wallet a list of known nodes to try first and saves the wallet from having to discover active nodes and try each one, which is why sometimes it takes a while to initially sync a wallet for the first time. This can be problematic on machines that are behind firewalls/internal networks.

Thanks for the clarification.

Looks like everything back to normal for me here. Wallet unlocked for staking and everything looks good. Oh happy day!

Adding trusted node's listed in OP has not resulted in my wallet syncing properly either Sad

Hey nwfella,

I'm not sure what's going on with your wallet.

BTCDdev should be able to help with any wallet issues.

Hey Azeh. Finally managed to get it synced properly after adding additional nodes specified in OP it just took sometime to actually start syncing. It looks like the root of the cause might've been the systems local clock getting out of sync somehow. Looks like all is well again

Ok, thanks for the information, I should be able to handle that. But listen, I have a full time job that is not on the computer so when you say "OP" I have no idea what you're talking about. I guess I'm showing my ignorance here. I searched it and couldn't find anything about OP. So, I don't know where to find this config file.

He's referring to the Opening Post (or first posting) on this thread.

I'll try adding those node's into my config file to see if that resolves the syncing issue.

Adding the node information to the config file should help a lot.

It's not quite clear though where the config file is, or does it even exist in the first place.

If you're using Windows then the location of the file is C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\BitcoinDark

By default Windows Explorer is not showing hidden folders, and since AppData is hidden, you will have to go to the View pane in the Windows Explorer first, and make sure that Hidden items is checked in the toolbar.

The config file does not exist by default either, so you may need to create it. The file is an ordinary text file and it should be given the name BitcoinDark.conf. You can create the file using, for example, Notepad.

Much more detailed instructions are still needed but I hope the above gets everyone with sync problems going. Please ask for further info if needed.

You can also speed up the initial sync by downloading this file and putting it to the same data folder mentioned above: http://altcoin.center/blk/btcd/blk0001.dat

I agree that if there are steps that need to be taken above simply installing the wallet then those should be outlined specifically on the website. Hopefully someone who knows what they are doing can remedy that.

As for modifying the BitcoinDark.conf file and putting that in the appdata, I did all of the above and the wallet is still slow. There is no change whatsoever from performing the above steps. My wallet was normal until about two weeks ago and then all of the sudden it started running slow. It may even be slower after adding lines to the config file. I don't know. It shouldn't take four hours to download 1000 blocks of blockchain. Nothing has changed on my end so maybe it's just growing pains with all the development that has been going on.

OP refers to "original post".

You are pointing to a very true problem that is common among the whole crypto currency scene: things are still happening and instructions written from a strongly technical point of view. Even someone like myself who has a firm background in IT systems design had to spend lots of time figuring out how this stuff works. The information is out there but it's fragmented and usually not definitive.

I intend to do something to fix this issue in the Altcoin.Center context, providing an information package targeted for the common folks. There needs to be much more understandable instructions about this all if crypto is to be made a mainstream thing.
