Why should I invest in this coin? What new features does it offer?

Good question.

Any differences from zimstake, shacoin or other  sha256 POW-POS coins ? 



lol, did you even bothered to read the whole thread?

Looks like the diff is sure heating up on this coin n people grabbing it like a boss. Will be interesting too see where things are at once POW is over and done and seems to be approaching fast too 13,189 half way their and a little more so it seems only 48% ish to go
Its been less than a day since I got involved with BTCD and of course the price triples on me. We are almost 10% of bittrex volumes.

Maybe I should say some negative things so the price comes down? Everytime I try to get some, people just outbid me like crazy monkeys. Stop that! I need to get some more.

I've just been buying up the orderbook to accumulate.  Bought it up to .0002, then up to .0003, then up to .0004, then up to .0005


...you guys are welcome.
I guess I wont be getting much more BTCD, maybe have to beg for donations?

Anyway I was thinking of posting a tech roadmap, but I am afraid the price would go way too high too fast.

How many are available for some testing? It will be command line level stuff, basically a text API to submit various commands.

James

Well, if you released a road map of the development, that may boot up the price, but a basic white paper may be good; nothing fancy, complex, or in-depth, just something simple. I have had some ideas that may help with the over-all functionality of the coin, if you would like me to PM you with them, let me know.

Just curious when the bounties will start getting paid?
The "bounties" pre-mine is now worth about $8k, FYI.

Anyway, I'm switching over my S1's to BTCD for a few days.  Might even put the S3's on when they arrive.   Grin

Price is nice right now, but I will continue to hold and see where this goes.

Hello!

I am part of BTCD community now and I happen to be developing a cryptonote fork to add anon features to NXT. It turns out that my methods should apply to BTCD also. I will be working on integrating cryptonote tech into BTCD, but it is more than "just" cryptonote anon tech as I am also making my solution include a near realtime exchange (InstantDEX) so people can directly trade just by running the coin.

How will all this work you ask?
https://github.com/jl777/pNXT has the current source code and it is rapidly being developed.

Once InstantDEX is done, I will be adding Privatebet (peer to peer sportsbook) to the pNXT framework, plus the way it is implemented there is no reason any other number of useful services cant be added.

My efforts are in parallel with all the other BTCD coders and I try to design a clever way to integrate to require minimal changes to the BTCD codebase. So, if I succeed, then all the peoples selling at current prices will not be so happy.
There is no reason that other anon tech in BTCD can't combine with the cryptonote tech, in fact pushing tx through two independent anon algos would only help if it is done properly. So, I bring very good news to BTCD and now I expect a massive in increase in the FUD level Smiley

James

P.S. I am not so active on BTT, but you can find out more about me on NXT forums and jl777.org

Will the cryptonote tech lead to any issues with blockchain bloat?


yes,blockchain bloat is an issue for all cryptonote coins, however I chose the boolberry fork to base my work on as it was the most advanced as far as blockchain pruning and just being more efficient. However, I have a plan to use a blockchain FIFO to deal with whatever bloat issues we get. There is no reason to store the entire blockchain, but you do have to process it once. A FIFO is perfect for that, just set the FIFO size to the max lookback window into the blockchain dataset you need (of course you need to store all the keyimages, but that is smaller than the full blockchain). Then after loading the blockchain the first time, all that is left in memory is the FIFO. So as long as you have HDD space you are fine, not limited by system RAM

James

P.S. I am also toying with the idea of using the cryptonote blockchain as a sidechain and maintaining a decentralized ledger. Then we can simply toss the blockchain as soon as there is consensus. However, this is pretty tricky, so most likely not for the first version.
