Topic: BTCD is no more - page 429. (Read 1328490 times)

what else did you hear?

I heard that staking 5000 btcd will make you 1btc per day. Is this correct?

Good news here, I just bought some BTCD back 

What the fuck did you just say?
BTCwriter, please take writer out of you name.
I look through your posts and you are far from a writer.
Take some English classes please, you sound fucking retarded when I read your posts.

P.S. You are far from a writer, sorry to burst your bubble

Drunk, I make more sense than you, shit I am typing well drunk. 

Have been lurking this thread for a while now. I've bought a decent amount of btcd that are currently staking and the more I read, the more I'm glad i did.. This new betting feature sounds amazing! Keep up the great work guys!

Awesome! This feature will be popular

Wow this is so legit!  fuck yatime to buy in again

Updated OP under announcements!

I got a bit carried away and wrote another 1000 new lines of code...
I just wanted things to be as good as possible, so after I got the relatively easy parsing in of the data that is being logged by yesterday's exchange_data, I had to figure out how to update in realtime the various contract pairs (BTCD/BTC is a contract).

OK, so making a new thread not so big of a deal, but we have historical data and new data and I dont want to have separate code paths for doing mostly the same thing, eg. updating the internal price data structures.

The we have the issue of multiple exchanges with a separate but clearly related data stream, so each contract pair has one set of price data for each exchange and one that is a combination of all of them.

Now, how to combine the data? Also, how to display the data? I dont like having to keep switching timeframes when looking at prices, so I coded a variable time scale. What that means is that the closer you are to now, the faster the timeframe and the farther away you are the slower. I tried to make a linearly compounding timescale so hopefully it will be a smooth compressing of past data. This way, with one page you can see everything from the last minutes to the last days (and even weeks)

OK, so each exchange will necessarily have a different timescale, at least theoretically, so I have to recalibrate the summary graphs to take this into account.

Separately, a lot of price changes are noise and I want to smooth out as much of that as possible so you can see the important price changes. To do this, I use what are called splines. These are handy little guys that create a smooth curve fitted line to a set of data points. Of course, the raw data needs to be processed to a form appropriate for splining. I didnt get a change to put in noise filters, just using some basic averaging for now. Oh, yes, I also create a BAR for each pixel. my bar is more than just open close high and low, it has 16 total fields including those. This will be handy later when querying the privacyServer for price data, I figured might as well do it right from the beginning.

Using some arbitrary weights I assigned to each field and using a 1/(timedist^2) weighing for each spline reference point, I create what I hope are a nice importance weighted and time synchronized inputs for the splining.

With a spline you can query it and get the value, slope even accel at any given point in time. Of course it is just an interpolation, but it lets you draw smooth lines for the entire period. [It is even possible to extrapolate, but that is best waited until I put in my SVM predictors]. So, of course, now we can much more easily combine all the exchanges data as the spline outputs can be for any time period

And all of this in a relatively clean control flow to automatically generate .jpg files that will deliver the right one based on the HTML on the :7777 page.

Anyway, that's what I coded today and about to debug. Probably will take me till tomorrow to get this debugged, but then it is nice framework for hooking in the simple tradebots. Oh, I also am dynamically merging all orderbooks into a single one so all that bookkeeping stuff is coming along.

There is clearly a devoted community.

Your analogy is pretty bad. 

For one, Obama did not try to convince people he was like Jesus.  People joke and make off handed comments all of the time which are not intended to be taken serious (which means it can't be stated that he 'was trying to convince people'). 

For two, you stated a premise and then declared it to be false which, by rhetorical construction, implies either that he never tried to convince people or that his attempt to convince people was false indicating that he is indeed like Jesus.

Logic 101 - phrasing order and punctuation are important.

As for the rest...I don't know.  But the dev has a coin named after him that is pretty darn innovative...jlhcoin/asset.  Regardless of the order in which he entered the project, he seems stout...more stout than a majority of the coins out there.

Nice try Stealthcoin fanboys. Especially BTCwriter, you are managing forums for Stealthcoin right? Very professional of you to come in here and hate on BitcoinDark   I hope you don't try to represent the whole Stealthcoin community, because that attitude of yours might keep investors away from Stealthcoin. It's a shame Stealthcoin is trading so low at the moment (and I mean that because I hold it as well), but with the stagnant markets of late I am thinking of selling my 200k XST

I believed when bitcoindark come out it don't even have a dev.
bitcoindark don't have in house dev it give out bounty for it. It is just crazy if you ask and wondered so many people get burned!

Go BTCD, Go Go!

not quite familiar with that, what is -datadir= parameter and how do I fire up the new wallet with it
(currently trying the entire conf parameters from the op)


edit: time for me to sleep, will see tomorrow whether it worked

thanks a lot guys!

aaaah now I see the config parameters, I somehow just skipped over that and have no config file in my wallet 
I'll try that now.

I had lots of problems getting a new wallet to sync when I was using a bunch of the newer addnodes - kept getting stuck on different blocks.  I posted once about this pages ago.

Just use a single addnode line in your config, and have it be the original one that we all used when we first got the wallets working:

addnode=107.170.59.196

at least one of those other addnodes from the OP is botched somehow.  Try and fire up a new wallet with a -datadir= parameter and a whole new config file and see what i mean.

Are you using the conf file from the op?

ok so I've been reading about POS trying to figure out why I have such a low rate of accepted mined blocks on my wallet (like 2 accepted out of 12!). My understanding till now is that when my stake finds a POS block it gets broadcasted to the network, but at almost the same time another person finds a block, so we get a fork then the longer chain gets accepted. Since I have such a low rate, I think I'm not connected to enough nodes (or not connected to important nodes) so my found block gets broadcasted much slower and I end up losing it because the larger part of the network has established another one. Does that make sense?

In that case is there a config file or a list of nodes to connect to and get a better penetration into the network?
