Thanks this is great! We also sent out over 23 BTCD today, to the miners on www.xpool.ca

Cheers!

Week 18: 14.5 BTCD have been paid to 736 unique BitcoinDark addresses for successfully staking blocks 733521-744291

Week 19: 14.1 BTCD have been paid to 720 unique BitcoinDark addresses for successfully staking blocks 744292-755678

Thanks for staking and supporting the BitcoinDark network!

No, the BTCD we payout is for miners mining on the pool.

Today we sent out another 30 BTCD

Cheers!

I bought some superBTCD assets today. Are dividends paid for assets, too? Just curious if I can await dividends soon.

Great news on Pangea, glad to see the tech being finished off.

Also www.xpool.ca is still going strong. We paid out 86+ BTCD today.

Cheers!

Great news! Pangea asset price is exploding  Hope to see more news about Pangea Poker soon.

Very nice job James!!

PANGEA alpha release:

if anybody is brave enough, latest push github.com/jl777/btcd is somewhat working at API level

./BitcoinDarkd SuperNET '{"plugin":"pangea","method":"start","resubmit":"no","base":"NXT","addrs":["hostNXT", "otherNXT"],"bids":[{"offerNXT":"hostNXT","wallet":{"isbot":1,"bigblind":"100000000","ante":"10000000","rakemillis":10,"balance":"10000000000"}}, {"offerNXT":"otherNXT","wallet":{"isbot":0,"bigblind":"100000000","ante":"10000000","rakemillis":10,"balance":"10000000000"}}],"offerNXT":"hostNXT","bigblind":"100000000","ante":"10000000","rakemillis":10}'

the above starts a game between hostNXT and otherNXT, each starts with a balance of 100, host rake of 1%, bigblind 1, ante of 0.1, and the host is a bot. By changing the "base" you can change what denomination the chips are, of course it is all just imaginary for now. InstantDEX supports a special exchange called "pangea" which will act as the lobby, for now manually constructing the "start" API must be done.

you can have up to 9 players by increasing the addrs and bids arrays
it is VERY picky and might need to restart nodes if anything goes wrong
working on making it more robust today

when it is your turn you submit one of the following actions:
./BitcoinDarkd SuperNET '{"plugin":"pangea","method":"turn","action":"allin"}'
./BitcoinDarkd SuperNET '{"plugin":"pangea","method":"turn","action":"check"}'
./BitcoinDarkd SuperNET '{"plugin":"pangea","method":"turn","action":"call"}'
./BitcoinDarkd SuperNET '{"plugin":"pangea","method":"turn","action":"raise","amount":"satoshis"}'
./BitcoinDarkd SuperNET '{"plugin":"pangea","method":"turn","action":"bet","amount":"satoshis"}'
./BitcoinDarkd SuperNET '{"plugin":"pangea","method":"turn","action":"fold"}'

It implements a coinshuffle inspired algo to shuffle the cards in a fully decentralized way. So no player knows the cards that any other player has, yet all players can verify the validity of cards that are revealed later and can also immediately see their hole cards. I use curve25519 field algebra combined with high entropy card seeds, but it isnt QC resistant so dont play for money against anybody with a working QC.

I decided that speed was more important than QC resistance for now. An encrypted deck is ~16kb. For more than 2 players, MofN recovery is possible for a player bailout, but i dont have that fully activated yet.

I spent a few weeks coding up pangea so now there is a real world use case for peggy fiat denominations. After peggy integration, I will integrate in jumblr so people can get some privacy for such things.

Pangea's rake is set at 0.5%, 80% of that to pangea asset holders, 20% to privatebet assetholders

the increased peggy usage will help subsidized the interest rates paid to depositors, if enough usage then it would be max 7.77% for all the longer term locks. And all this volume will have a percentage (via rounding errors) going to crypto777 asset holders. Jumblr shuffle fees of 0.1% (along with 60% of privatebet dividends) will go to NXTprivacy assetholders.

The sooner we can get all this tested and GUIfied, the sooner these dividends will start flowing.

James

P.S. yes, this means BTCD will have a blockchain enforced fully decentralized poker built into it, along with fiat denominated pegs that pay interests. Let us see what the 1/tech guys will do about this

Not for me 

Due to the low volume of orders in Polo, someone can easily manipulate price with sell small amount of BitcoinDark in Polo and with this work can create panic selling in Bittrex and then buy cheap BitcoinDark.
This is what happened in the last two days.

Me too but it seems like that might be changing.

my impression is that POLO usually has substantially lower BTCD vol than bittrex.

Does Poloniex typically have as much (or more) BTCD volume than Bittrex these days?

Thanks, seems to progress faster now!

Look at your peers using the console command: getpeerinfo

Choose one of the peer's IP addresses and just for syncing only add it to your BitcoinDark.conf like this:

connect=xx.xxx.xx.xxx


Now your wallet will only connect to one peer and won't have to spend more of the time comparing blocks with all the other peers you connect with without that line. Once you sync, remove the line and run as you would normally.

Oh and today's BTCD payout on www.xpool.ca is 30+ BTCD!

Cheers!

Hello,

is there any possibility to download the blockchain manually? I didnt find anything here or on the official website. The problem is the very slow synchronization through the wallet.

ShapeShift.io is excited to announce the launch of our newest tool, Skeleton. Skeleton allows websites to offer on-site exchanges so that their users don't have to leave the site in order to do an exchange. Allow your website users to buy or sell BitcoinDark directly from your site! Learn more about how you can add this to your site here and see a VIDEO example of how CoinCap has utilized this offering: http://bit.ly/1WvSoBx

well this does sound nice! care to explain how you get to that prediction? 

Remember this sentence,
BitcoinDark will be pumped up to 0.015 very soon.
