Topic: BTCD is no more - page 227. (Read 1328507 times)

half anon means that there is no requirement to link a bank acct/personal financial number to the card
however to get the bigger limits, the requirement for ID scan and utility bill could not be removed
it boggles my mind that the USA is able to strongarm the entire world to enforce a policy whose assumption is that criminals never pay their utility bills!

P.S. we continue to work toward full anon, but need to find a reliable vendor with acceptable limits and while we have candidates, the process is very slow. also, I think there is a good chance that there will be some independent vendors who can help, but this is all still being developed

What exactly is 1/2 anon?

To me, anon is a bool. It is either anon, or it's not.

I also wonder if I can't not open client with same address on multiple computers.
I could do this before, but I can't do that anymore and I wonder if that is because of version upgrade or some other issues.
Thanks

I want to clarify that the halfanon card is not a replacement for the full anon card. We continue to work toward that, but the negotiations are taking very long.

so rather than wait and wait, we felt it was better to have a halfway solution as a stepping stone to the full solution.

Also, it is quite possible that with a network of independent vendors, we can achieve similar results, but this is requiring an additional work.

Like anything that has never been done before, it takes many efforts and some course corrections along the way. The halfanon card will not be the solution for everybody, but it should be quite useful for many. So, I decided it was best to push forward with this

more people are staking probably

Hi, I recently found out that daily amount that is being staked decreased significantly.
Is there any possible reason this happened?
Thanks

Half anon card appears to be close to negotiated. It is not perfect, but there is a way to build a fully anon card using this as a component.

If you are interested in running a little service business for this and are in a sane country, please PM me

Not so much on the virus stuff... but you can use md5sum and/or winmd5sum to create a hash that you post in a place that is verifiablly from you. Usually here in thread with a link to the d/l.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM

Ok, I'll try that.

they are needed, if you can automatically generate some random values that would be perfect
keep it to letters and numbers, 16 to 32 chars for each

So rpcuser and rpcpassword should not be in the default .config, people that will need it, will have to add it manually?
Or should the installer ask for it?
I haven't got a clue what it's for so if included in the installer wizard, I need a text to explain it to a user and/or a default value.

ths would be great!
you should build the binary to make sure it is not infected, assuming your computer isnt infected
i remember seeing checksum generating methods, but dont have the link

the .conf file details will be changing with the new release, so for now, just use the second one here, with changes to the rpcuser and rpcpassword. i am assuming it wont be hard to update the .conf template

SuperNET transport needs to come first as Teleport will use it
It is hard to estimate exact times when I am doing a lot of non-coding things
the SuperNET routing is being code reviewed now, i have small scale tests working, as things are scaled up there will be issues that need to be found and then fixed.

Considering this has never been done before and neither has Teleport, any exact prediction will likely be wrong, especially as I am not getting much help on the tech side at all.

I am willing and able to get all the tech done on my own, but I cannot be on a strict schedule and be doing all the non-tech stuff while doing never before done things.

I hope you can understand. I am working as hard as I can, one step at a time. The next step is to get the SuperNET routing solid so Teleport and all other SuperNET applications have a solid foundation. Once this is in place, then the pace will speed up a lot as application debugging is much faster than system debugging

Purchased at 60k and still holding. If anything I want to see the dividend payouts. Could pay off my investment in only a few months leading to straight profit for years.

I have donated some so there has been a few let go of but I think I'm done giving out free BTCD. Don't want to leave myself with nothing to show.

Yeah, it's one of the things that got me drawn to BTCD in the first place.  If you look at the history, BTCD has probably had the most stable price (even after big price jumps) out of any coin within the past 3 months.  Good community here and it doesn't seem like there are a bunch of people who are just looking to dump all their coins the first chance they get.  Or people could just be holding in anticipation for Teleport release, knowing the next big price jump will happen again.  But even after that happens, I predict price will continue to stay elevated because of SuperNET.  Lots of intertwining things that will help maintain the value.

Windows installer would be very helpful.

Interesting that BTCD has kept its value surprisingly well, given BTC's crash. Low volume, too. I guess BTCD people are natural born hodlers.

Hi all,

I see quite some people having some troubles with the installation of the wallet.
I myself also had some issues with the new version after the last fork.

So I'm planning of making an installer for windows (.MSI) that will do:
1. Check if a previous version of this installer is installed, if so, uninstall the old one first / upgrade the old one.
2. If not (otherwise, in the future, this will be done by the uninstall of the old msipackage), check if wallet is running, if so kill process. Is there a way built into the wallet to close the wallet nicely from a commandline?
3. Place the .exe in a folder on C:\Program Files\BitcoinDark (location customizable in install wizard)
4. Place shortcut in startmenu (by default)
5. Place shortcut on desktop (Optional, not default, will be a checkbox on install)
6. Start .exe on windows startup (not the default option, will be a checkbox on install, will probably write a key in run under HKLM)
7. If exist, backup %appdata%\BitcoinDark to %appdata%\BitCoinDark_PrevVersion (if this already exsists, remove the old, create the new backup) and remove all in %appdata%\BitcoinDark, except wallet and .conf (Also optional, but default)
8. If not present create .conf in %appdata%\BitcoinDark
9. Start .exe when installation is finished (Optional, but default)

To make this there's a few more things I need to know:
If I include this .conf file as default, will that do for the general end-user (it is the one you can downloaded from OP)?

Or would it need the version that's written in text on the OP?

Or maybe even a completely different one?
How do I make sure that the file I upload is 100% virus, malware, etc free? Is there a trusted site or something?
Is there a guide that I can follow to make a checksum thingy, so people can checkt it's the exact same thing I uploaded?
Anything else needed?

Grtz,
Qwitnix

tl;dr: Incoming windows installer, but need some input to make it work.

Do you have a rough timeline for the modules/functionalities to be completed? e.g. Teleport End of Sept, SuperNET complete End of 2014...?

Rock on James!
