Topic: BTCD is no more - page 388. (Read 1328490 times)

Hi Everyone - quick update on my progress,

jl777 and I have been working closely on integrating teleport functionality into BTCD core. I have nearly completed the work needed to integrate in all the upcoming features. As soon as James is finished with his work, we will have a Teleport-enabled BTCD core ready for testing!

The best part of this is, older nodes on the network will ignore all the new functions, so this will not even cause a hardfork 

If James is building the telepods, think of me as hard at work fitting the ships with the equipment allowing for those telepods to be smoothly locked into place.

We'll be beaming white bunnies around like crazy here pretty soon! 

Thanks,
Matthew

We needs testers for teleport etc. so I made a sign up form for a testers group. When you sign up, jl777, PondSea or I will contact you when development goes into testing stage. When you sign up now you can always sign out any time, no obligation to participate in the testing.

is there a guide to setting up a privacy server?

I may have missed it somewhere, what is the timetable for dividends? Monthly, Quarterly?

Critics would say "The dev put in a backdoor", bad marketing. Better automate it ;-)

Is someone keeping track of those BTCD related todos? (I do partially.)  Something like trello?

In the spirit of Monty Python I would like to register a complaint
well it's just about the Mac wallet problem I was reporting about earlier, that over 50% of the mined blocks were rejected. I tried using the windows wallet, also under mac but used parallels to run my windows on it, and I get significantly better results. so there is obviously something not right with the mac wallet. I wish this gets fixed.
if there is any additional info I can provide let me know!

Seems to me there's no point reinventing the wheel. BTCD is integrating with the NXT blockchain which should allow it to do stuff like peer finance and voting, so why does BTCD have to redevelop those same features. Also, if a coin can do one thing (that people want) well, then that may be all it needs. This is ultimately about gaining real world adoption, not about adding stuff that altcoin investors might consider cool. If bitcoin users start using bitcoindark to teleport their funds, then that'll gain it a lot more adoption and value than adding feature after feature.

Just an idea here, but I DO believe it holds merit for consideration.
***(Independent verified audit: BTCD assets)

A few weeks ago Sync Foundations announced and Independent Lawfirm review. I am no legal eagle, but it sounded like a true independent audit. On PAGE 160 here James listed assets, then added more info on how complex this coin is getting to achieve the stated result(s). I propose we do the same thing with our coin. From what I read here,it seems to me just on asset-basis, our coin is undervalued by at least 1/10 right now! So, there is James reason to believe we will be in TOP-10. But, when other coins implement our technology, the streams of revenues from what,over 5 sources, will be unimaginable to me after 12 months!! I actually see a 1:1 ratio with BITCOIN at some point. Probably 12-24 month window is very realistic, imho & from my simple perspective.

I just wish I could do more. I was asked to help here, but I failed. The man I was asked to contact simply replied,
"I may answer the email after 3-4 months". So, I tried, but failed because we needed a much more timely response from him regarding our coin devel0pment's Black Paper.The reply was received from a friend who knew how to contact the man, so I know he never gave the reason for my wanting to contact him in the first place.

I am 53 with a family.Times are horrific for us here.Fired almost 3 yrs ago w/ no job prospects nor any benefits, so you may be able to imagine. I am blessed and grateful to my landlord to be so patient with us.YES, there are good people out there in the world. I only mention these things to highlight what motivation I do have here. I want to help, but don't know what I can do of any merit worth anything. My online time is nearly like James'. I have been ripped off so many times trying to make some sort of income online it makes me sick just thinking about it!! I can easily dedicate 10 hours a day to this coin. But, I have no tech skills. Just honesty, integrity, perseverance and a fighting spirit.This IS an uphill battle after all, isn't it?

Sincerely,
~darylluke.

We will soon start our official pool, should be in less than 24 hours, we are curentlly testing, if you like to join just PM me or join me on skype, my id is theXpooky

I can help with transcription of the darkpaper into LaTeX format if wanted. That would make the paper look somehow scientific...
Also I can do some of the designs in a vector graphics format if wanted.

Just PM me some of the devs if that help is appreciated.

Voted.
I'm getting a couple of cryptographer friends to look over the darkpaper. Hopefully we'll get some good feedback. Like 'ok, my job just got a lot harder.'

I prefer the bcnext method of implementing errors into the code over the remote kill switch method.

Does this mean BTCD <--> NXT will be a go?  (sorry, I have not used the mgw)
