Not the logo, but he color for the main logo will be blue.  

1) A lot of feedback was critical of such a radical logo change and blue is more related to the old logo.

2) The blue spiral logo will fit in much better with the space theme that will be presented on the new websites.

The key here is the actual spiral logo will remain unchanged.  Other colors variations of the logo will be used as they are needed, however the plan is to make the blue logo the main logo image.

are you changing the logo again?

Hello VanBreuk A good few NXTers here for some reason...

That's why the main image represents a portal..."teleport".  A lot of time and effort was put into this by the non-core dev team, and I'm pretty happy with the final logo we've developed.  We've moved away from the "coin" image that everyone else seems to be stuck on.  Our logo represents a portal in abstract form and will be easily recognizeable, and is perfectly scaleable, so it is very to make out even at small sizes.  Another aspect is that the gold logo will be the main logo, however we can use different colors for different features, e.g. blue for teleport, green for privatebet, black for anon card, etc.

Hello BTCD crowd,

I'm an admin at nxtforum.org and the Nxt Wiki, I manage http://multigateway.org, the MGW service docs/user support and others, and overall I try to keep up following developments lead by James. He sensibly suggested me to follow the BTCD thread, so here I am, trying to catch up.

So just saying hi, and if there's any ongoing initiatives I can be useful for, please let me know. I'm a very small BTCD holder but seems clear that this will become my second stop after Nxt

Keep up the great work.

Just sent 36 to hit 500.

Donation Update!

We're now asking the community to help raise funds for development purposes.  We currently have a lot in the pipeline, and we have need to fund Core Development, Website Development, Promotion and Marketing, etc.

All donations will be pooled into one large fund with which the dev team will then use on a need to need basis.  The process will be transparent and all funds being paid out will be listed on the new website.  

Our short term goal is to raise 5000 BTCD.  We hope the BitcoinDark community can provide the support we need to make BTCD one of the top coins around!

James (jl777) will match all BTCD raised for donations with an equal market value of NXTprivacy

Without coin inflation, more BTCD in cold storage telepods means more scarcity and higher prices. I don't see a problem with that .

Is there a maximum number of coins hardcoded?

One of the things people love about bitcoin is the fixed supply. There will only ever be 21million. The more extra coins being added, the harder a coin has to hold its value (see Dogecoin, Mintcoin). From this point of view, 5% in perpetuity seems large. I'm thinking longterm here, as in 5, 10, 100 years down the line. Things can't be changed when a coin has matured, but perhaps it can now at this early stage. (If it can't then there's no much point in this discussion; if it can then maybe a poll?)

I'm imagining a world with BTCD as the main world currency. At 5% a year, the price of BTCD will continually go down. At 5% a year, it'll often be better for investors to hold their money rather than spend it, killing investment. 2%, though, is considered the best case inflation for modern economies. 2% will allow BTCD to be staked/saved for a reasonable return, but will also encourage spending/investment.

I realize that hardly anyone is thinking that far ahead, but the better thought out a coin is, the better its chance of success. Some economists dismiss bitcoin because of longterm deflation and could favor a 2% inflation coin. I know from an altcoin investment point of view, I'm more interested in coins with less inflation--I think some people could dismiss a 5% inflation coin out of hand just from that one fact.

Edit: used the 5% figure rather than 4% because that's what it says in the OP. Is the % fixed or does it vary based on how many people are staking?

I dont want to take any chances with peoples BTC deposits. Will you guarantee that bitcoind will NEVER go on a fork for more than 3 blocks? I have seen quite a few things that should never happen, yet does.

Didnt Mtgox go under because they only required 1 confirm?
3 is the bare minimum and it is set to 4 now, but with the difference in NXT blocktimes, sometimes it adds another block.

Not sure why it goes to 6 blocks sometimes, maybe a long NXT block and a couple fast BTC blocks?

Since his name is "James" I'm pretty sure he is a guy. 

Yes btcd.xpool.ca does. I posted a msg a page or two back.

Cheers!

i am curious is the jl777 a guy or gal?

~CfA~

so, I just have to change port to 3339 and -k x11mod into something else in sgminer?
EDIT: I have changed port to 3339 and -k x15mod. it's hashing at 2.2mh/s

Yes!
Soon I hope we will get some fancy math formulas and will definitely need something like this to display it right.
Anything to make it better will be great

I also have Chinese translation underway. Maybe we should also translate to some other major languages?

James

you could do x15 with your gpu currently is most profitable for the multipool, or you can always the multialgo

Yes, so I better stay with 1.3mh/s scrypt at 45watts and SHA256 9.5gh at 30 watts ^_^
