Topic: BTCD is no more - page 178. (Read 1328507 times)

Curiouser and curiouser. Anyone have different experiences or a hotline to Bittrex?
Telepathic teleport and an explanation for the brutal downtrend. This is why we hodl.
I hope CECVW is reading.

bittrex is not allowing me to put in bids
I am able to put in any sell, but not bids
my orders appear in the "your orders" section and then just disappear as if I cancelled them

the steady drop due to bots pushing the price down and also "bugs" with placing bids...
maybe I am the only one with problems placing bids?
if not, then, well, conspiracy theories abound

James

did I mention I am pretty sure I will get a telepathic teleport working over SuperNET today?

James

50% spread where da fuck is the bear whale when you need him

me too. I have also set a higher sell order and low buy order. I sold at 0.006 and price went to 0.0085 LOL

Decent little 70% pop there.

great sequence of buy orders of bittrex 

Well, in x11 mining of bitcoindark.ca, I'm time you lose sight of the connection is large, is my environment is the cause?

I confirmed there is a bot or trader that is pushing the price down. As a seller, you want the highest price, well at least if you are not trying to manipulate the price. So if there is a bid at X and ask at Y, maybe you would put in an ask just below Y. But our bot is putting it just above X.

What this does is create a constant downward pressure as logical buyers see the lowest ask drop so near the highest bid, they pull their bids back.

And the cycle repeats. So at the cost of a few BTCD at a bit lower than market price and over a week, you can push the price down quite a bit. I think I will do something about this

James

pushed a version that displays a simple debug HTML at http://127.0.0.1:7777
I cant quite test it as I cant build the mac wallet with CORS support yet, but at least it looks like it should work

it will look for the html files in a html directory relative to where SuperNET is run from.

James

no problem. I feel like I am not making much progress as I never get to where I can debug teleport itself, but all these other things need to be in place for a user friendly GUI based solution.

I added a mode with "settings" API that allows the entire SuperNET.conf file to be replaced, so the first time you run the GUI, it can walk you through the basic variables that are needed and make a working SuperNET.conf. Then it can automatically relaunch the SuperNET, so from the end user point of view, it should just look like it works.

Then there will be a settings page where you can see and change each setting, so the forms on this page just call the settings API to update a specific field.

James

Thanks for the frequent updates James. Keep up the good work!

Added "stop", "start", "GUIpoll" and "settings" API calls

This allows the SuperNET to be stopped and restarted. Especially useful after the settings API is used to modify the SuperNET.conf. GUIpoll allows the GUI to receive the results of pending requests. With these, I believe all the interface API are in place, so the GUI can be completed.

Now I go back to debugging teleport, current status there is that maketelepods creates telepods and telepodacct displays the telepods that you have, including the changing status. It should also display all the transactions relative to a specific contact or coin or everything.

Also, the contacts API appears to work fine.

James

P.S. also fixed a subtle and small info leak in onion construction, thanks to discussions with Cassius

The latest shift for the BitcoinDark multipool paid out over 60 BTCD.

We need more mining support. It is down 40% from several weeks ago. Help and point your old ASIC's to the pool and pick up more and more of these cheap BTCD while we still can!

Cheers!

Hi jl777,


Thank you for your prompt reply. I did what you suggested and the BTCDs in my wallet in currently staking.


Cheers!

Bitcoin has been "copied" hundreds/thousands of times by scammers.  That doesn't make Bitcoin any weaker or less relevant.  What no one can make a copy of is Satoshi.  Along the same lines, no one can make a copy of jl777. 

Unless of course, James has an identical twin brother who is equally as intelligent, then someone could kidnap Jame's twin brother and force him code for them.

you can stake with encrypted wallet
just unlock wallet and make sure the "for staking only" is selected

It appears as though the BitcoinDark wallet automatically disables the staking feature if the user encrypts the wallet; therefore, any BTCD holder who encrypt their BitcoinDark wallet will not be able to stake and as a result, will not receive 5% interest on the BTCDs in their wallet.  If this is correct, then those who are security minded and choose to enable encryption on their BitcoinDark wallet are being penalized for trying to protect their BTCDs in the most basic way and usually recommended by crypto-currencies security professionals.

Is there a current plan for a work around this staking problem?

Thank you.

Internet of coins published a similar concept a couple weeks before I announced SuperNET, but their solution wasnt described and it turned out to be a totally different approach.

After getting 5700+ BTC and almost 1000 different investors and about 6 weeks later, we are seeing projects with similar approaches to SuperNET or at least in the same space.

I have opened sourced even my active dev branch. https://github.com/jl777, so no need to infiltrate a spy, just follow my commits.

If there are any clone devs who are able to keep up with me, I want to hire them! A privacy solution that is closed source is DOA in my opinion. Any single subtle bug and all the anonymity is gone. Even Tor, which is a significant project, is always getting this attack or that. Imagine a closed source project, anything would be possible. So, any anon tech that is not open source, I recommend to avoid.

Now, if anybody wants to use a clone of BTCD with a clone of SuperNET using a clone of NXT using a clone of the SuperNET GUI, instead of the original, well, why would they? What happens if there is a bug due to a mistake in the cloning or some subtle algo problem that requires the original author to fix it? it is quite likely that if any significant part of the total solution is changed, nothing will work.

I dont think you realize how difficult it is to get a stable system as complex as what I am building. Even timing dependencies are important. It is like taking the engine and transmission from one car and just expecting to pop it into another. will it work? probably to some degree. will it perform at maximum levels where the wind resistance is tuned along with using the heat output to recharge the batteries to give extra battery voltage, which allows some extra feature, which is needed for another, etc.

Since I am coding and coding and not spending the time to document the specific reasoning for all the choices, that means just cut and paste will make, another SuperNET node!

Now LTC has maintained 1/100 to 1/30'th of BTC value and this is probably about right for a clone. With SuperNET worth several million, that means a clone will be worth less than $100K
It takes a lot more than 1000 hours to create something like BTCD + SuperNET.

Also, the 5700 BTC gives some protection to SuperNET and thus BTCD as without it, I just dont see getting many coins to cooperate. Without significant funding, there is no "glue" to bind together a supernetwork and after the blocknet result, I doubt any clone scammer will be able raise any significant amount of funding.

James

In my opinion it would be insane to give code to scammers to copy. As we all see James working hard weeks and source have to be closed at least 3-6 months.
Can somebody tell me who first announced and create principles SuperNet(or whatever you want name it) network and how it will work ?
Soon it turned out that the same idea has been copied ( probably someone will say that was a coincidence /for sure in an environment where 99,9 percent ideas are copied )
Certainly they have a spy close to James or they want him to be closer
