Now that we cracked the Top 15, I think it is ok to announce my medium term marketcap goal. Clearly, the Top 10 is well within reach as we are "only" a doubling away. Crazy as it seems that can happen in several weeks time. Getting to #11 is just 33% away, so after the slight pullback from today's ATH, we will retest the .007 and once we are past that, then .01 becomes quite possible. However, this is all something that might require painting a two week pennant pattern, never can tell in the crypto market. So, ignoring day to day price, but assessing value, I am aiming for not to just be the #1 anon coin (DRK) but for exceeding LTC. I doubt LTC will still be #2 when BTCD passes it, probably more like #4 to #6, still we are talking healthy double digit millions.

Keep in mind that it will take a lot longer to do the next price doubling as each time you do it, the amount of investor interest you need has to be a lot more. However, we are still on page 3 by views and most people still think BTCD has nothing new. That is quite funny to me, but I guess most people are too busy to find the thread and read about BTCD. They cant complain later when BTCD achieves is potential.

So, be prepared for a couple months instead of couple weeks and maybe we get a happy surprise at the impatience of the market to properly price BTCD. I am working to make BTCD so that I can live off of the staking and then I can spend years and years developing it to be all that crypto can be. Along the way, we will get more and more devs, so in a year, two or three BTCD will be much more than even what I am imagining it to be now.

So, long term, I see the following top coins, the specific order (other than BTC) is hard to predict:

BTC, NXT, ETH, BTCD

When I see that on coinmarketcap, then I think I deserve to have some vacation

Hi JRoC,
If you use Windows, create BitcoinDark.conf as the OP and put it at the same directory of BitcoinDark-qt.exe and run.

Despite what I said a few pages back about not buying more BTCD for a while, I did buy today when the price started to rise.
I bought 160, and later sold 50. The rest have gone in to my wallet to party with my other BTCD. Im holding.  
My goal is to reach 100-1500. Im a fair bit off that...in time...

PS
Anyone have any idea why the coins price rose so high today?

Just downloaded this wallet and it's not syncing. 

Added the nodes from the OP and still nothing.

What gives?

I did not know that Let's continue back on BTCD talk in this thread.


haha I know very tempting. I am watching with interest 

Thanks. I've been to 50+ countries in last several years, so I am seeing these places

I did buy 10% of BBR, I was very serious and zoidberg has always been very helpful, but it was clear that any sort of putting Nxt Inside plan of mine would go nowhere. Since if I can't put Nxt Inside a coin, that means I cant put my NXTservices inside, which would mean no InstantDEX, no Privatebet, I cant really go "all-in" with my dev work on such a coin.

Turns out I can make Teleport work without any NXT dependency, but that is just busywork that serves no purpose as I need the NXT API for InstantDEX and others. Anyway, with a reskinned GUI, the users will have a BTCD experience and get all the NXT features, so I see no harm to any coin brand that puts Nxt Inside. If anything it should be like "Intel Inside", even Apple computer benefited from that. The alternative is to not  have any of the NXT 2.0 features

The whole "BBR daily dumper" that sells the majority of every day's mining output seems to still be a problem. It feels like not jusst a FUD attack, but continual financial attack. Not sure when the new coins mined per day becomes absorbable, but until then I fear BBR price will be a sad thing. With BTCD it is hard to believe but when we had 3 petahash mining, the miners were dumping at .00015 to .0005! I guess they had to pay their mining costs. As soon as PoW was over and people realized only 1.2 million coins, then the constant dumping ended. Then people started to understand the impact of my tech. Then I came up with Teleport.

P.S. did you know that when I got the "post elsewhere" july 8th PM, BBR marketcap was about ten times BTCD, now it is so sad to see BBR at bottom of top 100

I see said the blind man as he picked up the hammer and saw.  Thanks for the info.

Now.

Hey James

Thanks for the shout out about BBR I think you have a very good attitude that will take you places.

I am not sure who sent the PM, obviously they meant no harm and it should probably have been kept in the "dark", but I can understand your frustration given you seem very enthusiastic with everything that you touch. I also know you had big buy support with BBR, so your support was genuine. I am no way affiliated with the "management" (lol) but perhaps you can sympathize given how much they have been held under FUD by competing CN teams and apologies for any confusion.

Good luck with this project. I am looking to sneak in at a good entry point as I am liking what I see here.

Many more have yet to give it the attention it deserves. Almost no FUD here and what does appear is quickly debunked. This coin is legitimate with big plans, immense amounts of information and most importantly a smart and incredibly active development team. It's a strong and loyal community as well.

I had been working on privacyServers (since very early this year) for NXTprivacy and I had even created a BBR (best cryptonote tech) fork called pNXT. I was going to create an automated two way peg for pNXT <-> NXT to allow for cryptonote transport of NXT

the problem was to create a peg (and doubly so for two way peg), requires continual centralized price support (if you want to be sure the pegs hold and to offer zero cost spreads) or to rely on the magic hand of the market (like btsx is doing - be careful if you have any of this!). Neither of these two seemed sustainable.

so I started looking for a coin that was liquid and had a free market based price. Then the price change during transit of the funds from source to destination would be small. that is how ripple's XRP is supposed to work

That was a few days after BTCD launched and soon it was at petahash!
Since I was looking for a coin with a secure network, it seemed like a good choice. At first I was just going to use BTCD as a transit currency, but I sent a few PM's to Azeh about the issues of using zerocoin (it was in the repo) and instead of the usual, "we know what we are doing" attitude that most coins have, Azeh was very encouraging and supportive. This was in spite of my wanting to use Nxt Inside as a lot of my code uses NXT. I like to use the best software available for simplifying what I need to do and I also use libuv, libwebsockets, nacl, libtom, libcurl, gzip, etc. Why reinvent the wheel when you can get a nice shiny one for free? if you have NXT installed, just go to http://127.0.0.1:7876/test and you will see the API that is available. How can I not use such nice free API?

I was in the BBR community for a bit, but I got a PM from their "management" to please post all your stuff about pNXT somewhere else as it is confusing the Boolberry people. Had they been having the attitude of Azeh, I could easily have ended up enhancing BBR instead of BTCD.

I also got the same sort of encouragement to leave from the ripple community last december, that is how I ended up in NXT.

So not only did Azeh create BTCD for us, he is the reason I am here! He recognized the value of a simple C programmer like me.

i can't believe i've only just seen this coin

If that 4 BTC wall gets eaten at 700k we're off to Mars. Still no signs of stopping

James,


Briefly an you tell us why bitcoindark was something you wanted to help develop? I'm just curious about why you chose this vs. some others that have been created in months past. Trust me I'm very happy with everything, just curious. Also, do you and Azeh have any relationship in the past? Thank you to Azeh for creating this coin, it's been fun!

Thanks!

there is some confusion. I am matching other people's donations with NXTprivacy asset. so this is not like purchasing NXTprivacy for the donation. It is a pure donation, just that it gets "doubled" with NXTprivacy assets

Now, one problem is that NXTprivacy is ~14 NXT and BTCD seems to have become some sort of rocketship so soon I wont be able to match. with current around 1000 BTCD raised, that is 14000 NXTprivacy assets to match. I cannot go above 25000 total NXTprivacy. At this rate, without any new donations, this limit will be gone quite soon...

I want to be clear that I have never received any BTCD for my codings. I am first self-made NXT millionaire (not from IPO or buy low, sell high) as I created asset values of over 100 million NXT. I sold majority to investors (they are quite happy too), but I did keep enough, so money is not something that I worry about anymore.

I am doing this not for money and I have asked that the small amount of BTCD that I was offered way back in the beginning when I first joined to be given to BTCDdev. I want him to have as much BTCD as possible!

So, please donate some small portion, doesnt matter how small so we can pay for GUI devs, website devs, etc. and hopefully use to get more help to make BTCD even better. I am only one guy and only so much I can do

Thanks!

James

Why is this coin moving up today?  News or just the pump of the day?
