..It is impossible that they are shutting the forums down due to financial reasons. Certainly not because of a pissy $300 a month.
There is obviously more to it. Just don't know what..

Decred (DCR) is true crypto currency 2.0?

Heard may news about decred . btcsuite core developers moved from bitcoin to decred for governance issue bitcoin facing . Company Zero is funding this project who was funding bitcoin from 2013 . Company Zero will still fund both project . Is decred true Bitcoin 2.0? Huh 

Yes, it's the most promising of the altcoins imo.  Has both governance and tech innovations

Its development is steady and fast because of built-in self-funding of devs & the RFPs. It has a democracy system "built in" with a constitution too.

And I love the ability to rebuild the whole wallet from seed... that can save your life. In the past I lost a wallet file with another altcoin and it made me go crazy.

There's a lot to love about Decred - it's also rewritten from scratch in Go so it's not just a modification of the Bitcoin code.

It just seems an all  more mature and better designed crypto-currency so "Bitcoin 2.0" doesn't sound impossible to me.

First, we are NOT going to create Money (like BTC), we want to create currencies! Pay attention, that currency is not money. Currency could be backed by money,  but currency itself is just a paper!
This is a failed idea, sorry - Freicoin tried it and it died AFAIK
People will just store their wealth on another currency that doesn't use the inflation system

I will try to explain with other words. Smiley

First of all, such coins are NOT to be used to store value. Moreover, inflation system will motivate people to spend it asap or exchange to stable currency like Bitcoin/Litecoin/etc.

Second, there should be a lot of different Freicoins, banked by their companies. Each coin will have it's life cycle and inflation rules. It won't be mined.

Our idea is to give people a platform for such coin emission. Any company or business can issue their own Freicoin and distribute it.

First we thought about Bitshares as a platform, but it does not allow such types of assets. NXT does not. May be Waves will do? But today we think Ethereum is the best choice.
Gesell's theory has been around for generations.
In reality economics it seems to fail.  Mostly.

But why not keep trying?  Crypto is a continuous testbed of concepts.

I'd rather see a coin that gradually deflates (deletes) none moving coinage.  Also a 0.001% transaction fee.  Thus you get money that evaporates if not used, and the supply is mostly what is recently mined.  Would work well for one of these 2.0 DEX exchanges aka layered platforms. The Freigeld is the main chain reward and needed to buy tokens (base pair currency).  Deflationary % inverse relation to Difficulty %.  Likely would need a fiat tokens (as secondary base pair currency) ... so the DEX platform has 2 different markets to price assets/tokens.  One spiky the other pegged and smooth.

Quote
Freigeld has several special properties:
    It is maintained by a monetary authority to be spending-power stable (no inflation or deflation) by means of printing more money or withdrawing money from circulation.
    It is cash flow safe (a scheme is put in place to ensure that the money is returned into the cash flow – for example, by demurrage – requiring stamps to be purchased and periodically attached to the money to keep it valid).
    It is convertible into other currencies.
    It is localized to a certain area (it is a local currency).

the extant 2.0 DEX exchanges; basically have the same properties.
NXT money supply is no inflation no deflation?
Writing in a stamp tax rule into the system is likely going to be tested by at least one DEX exchange.
That will force perpetual sell pressure.  And savers will just convert into other currencies, but buyers will need the Freigeld.

A bear Freigeld market, lowers difficulty (because low prices low hash) and the tax% goes up, currency not in motion is taxed, thus currency supply shrinks, triggers market to bullish, raises difficulty (because high prices high hash), high difficulty means lower tax%, Freigeld supply inflates, Freigeld market goes bearish, full circle, loop, repeat.

Marc De Mesel April 15, 2016
Yes, I bought high and sold low with NXT. That's bad ofcourse. But I don't approach investing this way. Sometimes you have to buy eventhough it went up a lot already, and sometimes you have to sell eventhough it already went down a lot.

I invest according to the kelly criterion, which says that the best risk/reward investment should get the largest exposure. Hence why I continuously analyse my investments on how the risk is evolving, and how the potential reward is evolving. This was very favorable for NXT 1 year as the potential reward was much higher than bitcoin, say 100 times because it was 250 times cheaper, but the risk only 10 times higher say, as it was growing in users and transactions faster, but ofcourse had much less network efffect going for it.

However the past year things have turned south. Transactions and users have continued to drop. The new design proposal of NXT 2.0 that will be released coming year risks to lose it's users from the asset exchange, the only thing it hat going for it, while there are little funds to promote the features of NXT 2.0 and attract new users. This really increases the risk tenfold. So it's not a better investment anymore than bitcoin in my opinion, and does no longer deserve a higher exposure, hence my re-adjustment.  

What I did with this move was not make a loss with NXT, that already happened the past 2 years and I'm not one to stick my head in the sand, a loss is a loss and I feel it, process it, and I've been doing way too much of that past year. I just clicked in the loss for a big part and won't profit as much if it goes up again but I will profit more if Cell 411 or Bitcoin goes up again, because that is what I got in exchange.

Most importantly though I decided to stop investing my time and energy into NXT to help make it happen, and will focus on a new coin, which I think will be much better investment of my time and energy.

https://nxtforum.org/cryptoasset-fund-projects/%28pre-ann%29-coinoindex-com-cryptocurrencies-industial-average/

coinmarketcap shows a little bit incorrectly the stats for NXT assets, I will try to contact them to have it fixed
The coins are at the Coinoindex.com website
10000000 total supply is just a feature of NXT assets
you issue it all at once

as for the different funds - yes, it's a viable idea
but here the idea was to do some kind of Dow-Jones
that is select top capitalization coins.

I'm sure soon we'll see more of this, mutual funds investing in crypto are on the way Smiley

A question about the mechanics of the fund.

Almost certainly this basket of coins will outperform bitcoin. But the real value of the coin must be fully reflected from actual coins held, e.g. coins that could be sold to buy back INDEX.

http://coinmarketcap.com/assets/coinoindex/ says

Available Supply     Total Supply
 338 INDEX      1,000,000 INDEX

Right now INDEX is at 0.85 BTC.

If available supply is 338 INDEX then can a person say that the underlying collection contains 338 x 0.85 = 287.3 btc worth of the mix? Or some reasonable percentage of that? Where are these coins?

Also Where does the 1 000 000 total supply fit in?

And how or what or where is your compensation?

As I understand it the coin comes from a respected person and scam issues are unlikely, but there should be a rough prospectus. Developing a group of funds like this with different goals (high growth fund, stable fund, long term fund etc,whatever) has great potential.

MaskNetwork

Right now there are three networks that implement a turing complete language : Ethereum (www.ethereum.org), Lisk  (www.lisk.io) and Masknetwork (www.masknetwork.com)

For Ethereum and MaskNetwork, things are easy :

1. The contract code is runned by all nodes and all nodes should reach the same conclusion after execution.
2. After a contract is run, a small fee is paid depending on the number of steps executed.
3. A copy of the contract code and storage is maintained by all nodes.

In Lisk case :

- The contract code is NOT executed by all nodes.
- There is no fee paid depending on the code complexity.
- A copy of contract plus additional data (storage) is not maintained on the mainchain.

What i know :

All Lisk applications run over sidechains  where  "The decentralized application developer has complete control over the sidechain." (https://lisk.io/features)

You need a "third party" to execute your code - "By utilizing our extensive user base, you can quickly find 3rd party nodes to execute your decentralized application through servers " (www.lisk.io)


What i don't know :

Is Lisk a decentralized smart contract platform  ?? And why do you need a 3rd party to execute your code ??

I was 100% sure that "3rd party" and "decentralized" are antonymes. My personal opinion is that Lisk is far from a dapp platform. What do you think ?

MAIDSAFE talk
Im glad this thread was started.

Maidsafe doesnt have a presence much on BTT and Id like to know more.

Currently my knowledge and position is:

1. Maidsafe has been around for ages and ages (over 10 years iirc)
2. It has had many rounds of investment
3. It is not based on a blockchain and whether Maidsafe will eevn work is uncertain
4. The price is going up cause of a) the ETH effect and b) an upcoming Maidsafe beta


I think Maidsafe is a very creative and ambitious project BUT:

- I'm not confident they can pull it off
- between IPFS, Ethereum, ring sigs,  blockchain nameserver tech and the rest I dunno if Maidsafe has a place anymore - that ship might have already sailed.
-when I hear Maidsafe devs talking to Chris Ellis and other hosts things always sound fuzzy.

Q. What peer reviews, crytographical or otherwise, has Maidsafe had?

Id be curious to hear how Maidsafe supporters respond to these statements. I remain open-minded.

Thanks.

Maidsafe smells like NXT.

Yet another hype-driven platform-as-a-platform service portal.  A complex solution in search of some problem to solve.   Roll Eyes

SIA and Storj are doing the distributed cloud drive thing with blockchains, so you know it works.

ETH and Rootstock can do whatever operations you want done to those data layers.

Why do we need Maidsafe again?  Is something wrong with TOR and i2p and VPNs?

I get the pumper mindset at work here.  Buy the rumor, sell the news!   Cool

Just don't be left holding the Maidsafe bag over the next 10 years, as they prepare the shipping version.

Meet E thereum, the "World Computer" That May Power the Future

E thereum launched a public crowdsale. In 42 days, E thereum collected almost 32,000 uᴉoɔʇᴉq — equivalent to about $18.5 million USD.

Quote
This week in New York City, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation is hosting the 2016 Blockchain Symposium. There, attendees will hear from top dogs at IBM, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Quote
IBM and Samsung have already teamed up to put E thereum into practice. Together, they made a washing machine that can reorder detergent when the supply is low, call a repairman when it malfunctions, and even do laundry when the electricity is cheapest. R3, a financial consortium, is also running several experiments with E thereum.

Quote
Uber collects a significant percentage of every transaction, for instance — and often to the detriment of the driver. With E thereum, these collections could be eliminated via smart contracts,” or “decentralized apps.” These so-called DApps are already impressive in number. We’ll keep up with these decentralized apps as they get more and more exciting in the days and months to come.
E thereum has been blocked from this forum, try to post e thereum without the space............

Asset issue platforms: Bitshares vs NXT
BitShares pros:
- The most scalable in-memory blockchain
- Monetisation of issued assets using custom fees
- Really fast 1.5 sec average conformation no matter what is your tx about
- Smartcoins (bitUSD, bitCNY, bitEUR) allow to build trustless processes with off-line businesses
- Forward thinking community
- Built-in referral program
- Community client is built for in-browser use on steroids (web-sockets + react)
- Network explorer (Cryptofresh.com) will be open-sourced soon
- Fast adoption signals
- Truly decentralized blockchain self-paid development team
- Technological certainty as Bitshares already passed the most hard iterations trying to find minimum lovable product
- DPoS

BitShares cons
- Currently smartcoins have low liquidity
- Currently multisig don't work in clent
- No asset-based voting and account control
- No ability to create assets with locked supply. UIA are always issuer dependent in some sense.

NXT pros:
- Convenient Phasing and Account control allow you to build highly customized processes
- Data Storage, Marketplace

NXT cons:
- No ability to monetize assets through custom fees
- Very slow in comparison with BitShares and slow in comparison with Ethereum
- Stagnating community and network activity
- Development and consensus through BDFL model (with all honour to Jean-Luc)
- Weak improvement process: If you develop custom soft, so get ready for sudden API changes
- Huge uncertainty caused by NXT 2.0
- Naive PoS

Summing up if you need asset with exchange without all bells and whistles of NXT (alias, data storage, marketplace) go BitShares. If ability to build sophisticated asset-based voting processes is crucial for your use case go NXT. Otherwise go BitShares.

If you need really deep custom things go Ethereum (much custom, significantly slower than BitShares but much more faster than NXT)

https://nxtforum.org/core-development-discussion/nxt-2-0-design/

Core dev Riker calculated splitting nxt into mother- and childchain will allow nxt to scale to 200 Transactions Per Minute while keeping the blockchain at 540 MB instead of 43 GB. Many agree scalability is important but some believe it can be achieved in less intrusive and better ways. Often heard criticism is that nxt is a platform yet Jean Luc makes too many changes and has not respected backwards compatibility and user friendliness enough chasing away users and developers. Instead the core devs should focus less on code cleanness and efficiency and more on retaining and building out existing users & features.

automagically

What is their current TPS?
About the same as Bitcoin if blocks were full, 3 tps.
Currently there are 2 transactions per minute, about 2000 transactions per day

the community has not decided on a distribution method for fnxt yet. the most likely scenario is a 1:1 fnxt to nxt distribution. there have been arguments made that nxt as a childchain will lose at least half its value with unknown consequences for asset issuers and asset holders. asset holders funds are locked in an illiquid market, so they will end up with less fnxt. there are arguments beeing made that this is unfair, as those who used the platform and tried to make it flourish will get less than those who just hold.
there are also people who say nxt as a childchain will die, because the platform will be filled with business childchains and nobody is going to pay the fnxt for the nxt childchain blocks (see bottom for explaination). in that case your current versatile nxt token is lost and you end with a token that is only used for forging

Crypto creator needs to buy (f)nxt to pay for the creation of an asset?

assets are created on childchains. you need to pay with childchain tokens (for example nxt) to issue an asset. fnxt is the forging token on the motherchain. fnxt is used to secure the motherchain and all childchains via PoS. forgers on the motherchain will receive fees for that in fnxt.
while all transaction fees on the childchain are paid in childchain tokens, fees for a block to be included in the motherchain have to be paid in fnxt. those fees will be paid by someone, e.g. a childchain forger or childchain creator (e.g. like a business)

Quote
What is nxt used to pay for?

its the token on the nxt childchain. you can buy assets, buy stuff on the marketplace, write messages etc.


--------------
nxt will remain a token (child)
fnxt will be used ONLY for forging (motherchain) can't be pruned
fnxt can carry 255 TX/block * 1440 = 367,200 TX/day  [3 tps]


- A new main chain will be created, on which NXT becomes a token used for forging only, "forgingNXT". The current NXT ecosystem will become a child chain, preserving all features and holdings except the ability to forge. At the hard fork block, each NXT owner will have his NXT converted to both tokens in 1:1 ratio, and all other holdings migrated to the NXT child chain.

- It will always be possible to exchange NXT to fNXT, so small stakeholders not interested in forging may decide to sell their fNXT to large stakeholders running forging nodes. This would lead to some centralization, but also to a higher percentage of the (f)NXT stakeholders forging and thus securing the complete Nxt ecosystem.
   
- Child chains will all run the same code, but each one can be configured to have only a subset of the all possible features if needed. The NXT child chain will have all possible transaction types enabled.

- Each child chain will have its own native token/currency, in which payment transactions are denominated, asset ask/bid orders are placed, digital goods are priced, etc. Child chain transaction fees will also be in the native token.

- All transactions from all chains must be processed by all nodes. All nodes will carry all child chains for the last 1440 blocks at least. Archival nodes can opt to store one or more child chains longer, or indefinitely.

- Transactions on the child chains will be pruned completely after 1440 blocks on nodes not configured to archive them longer. A new node downloading the blockchain from scratch must make the assumption that since the forgers and all nodes that were running the blockchain at the time the prunable data was still there approved those transactions, they must have been valid at that time, even though the data to validate them again is no longer available.

- It must be possible to validate though that the effective fNXT balances of the forgers were indeed those that they claim to be. This is why transactions on the forging chain which change fNXT balances cannot be pruned, and must be kept to a minimum of essential transaction types.

- The child chain "blocks" will be implemented as a prunable attachment of a single (one per block per chain) transaction, of type ChildchainBlock, on the main chain. Anyone can create a ChildchainBlock transaction. However, it is up to the forgers that create blocks on the main chain to decide whether to include this ChildchainBlock transaction in a block. Forgers, just like all nodes, do full validation of all child chain transactions included in a ChildchainBlock, as long as the data has not been pruned yet.

- If there have been no transactions on a chain, there is no need to create a ChildchainBlock transaction for it, unlike the main chain where we continue to have blocks every 60s even if they are empty. We can think about reducing the main chain block times in order to allow for some child chains to have more frequent blocks.

- The forgers will accept fees in fNXT only, with the minimum fee required by the protocol for each transaction type also denominated in fNXT.

- When a ChildchainBlock transaction is included by a forger in the main chain, its creator pays a fee in fNXT to the forger. The amount of this fee is up to the ChildchainBlock creator, but must be at least equal to the total of minimum fees calculated in fNXT for each child chain transaction included. In return, the ChildchainBlock creator receives the fees, in native child chain token, paid by the senders of those child chain transactions.
       
- The exchange rate of child chain token to fNXT will therefore be determined by market forces. If no-one is willing to include a child chain transaction in a ChildchainBlock, it would mean that the fee offered in native token is not considered equivalent to the required minimum fNXT fee for this particular transaction, and such transaction will expire unconfirmed. If the value of the child chain native token drops to zero, no-one will be willing to create ChildchainBlocks for it, and transaction processing on this childchain will stop.

- Child chains will compete with each other for inclusion into a block, since at the end the forgers will still look at the fee/size ratio for each transaction and will want to maximize their forging profits, subject to main chain block size and transaction numbers limits.

- Before the pruning, each node must verify not only that the hash of the ChildchainBlock transaction matches, but that all transactions of the child chain enclosed within it are valid, i.e. there is no double spending, and all other validations. For that the node needs to know the current balances for all account holdings, on that child chain. To be able to still do pruning, we need a snapshot transaction, which takes a snapshot of the current child chain state only, without any history that led to this state. Then, after this transaction has been accepted in the blockchain for more than 720 blocks, we can assume that it is valid, prune all history for that chain before that snapshot, and discard the previous snapshot.

- The snapshot transaction for each child chain is created at regular intervals, such as 1440 blocks, by the forger of the current block. It will only contain the hash of the snapshot, not the full snapshot data.

- The snapshot data itself does not need to propagate through the network when the snapshot transaction is created. Each node that already is up to date, already has the state of the child chain being snapshotted, so it can generate such a snapshot for itself. It must only validate that the hash the forger calculated for the snapshot indeed matches its own snapshot.

- It is only nodes that are downloading the blockchain from scratch that would need to download the latest complete snapshot, and this is another reason that each node must generate and keep around this snapshot, to be able to serve it to such new nodes. The snapshot download can be in a torrent-like manner, different pieces from multiple nodes.

- Because every up-to-date node needs to validate all current transactions, even though we significantly reduce the long term blockchain bloat problem in terms of disk space used, and bandwith to download the blockchain from scratch, there will still be a bottleneck in terms of CPU for processing data on all chains, and the bandwith of having to receive and process current transactions for all chains. But since nodes don't need to validate past child chain transactions that have already been pruned, overall downloading the blockchain from scratch should be faster and less CPU intensive.

- The forging chain which all nodes share guarantees security, even for child chains that don't have many users and have transactions only occassionally. In return, each of the child chains gets the ability to be pruned. Child chains no longer need to keep all their old data going back to genesis in order to be secure, because they do not forge.

- As a first step, we will start with just the forging main chain, and the NXT chain as a single child chain to it, and perhaps a test child chain. Once we have this working, we implement the features required to be able to dynamically create a new child chain, or edit the properties of existing child chains.

Talk about MaidSafe coin February 24, 2016
Im glad this thread was started.

Maidsafe doesnt have a presence much on BTT and Id like to know more.

Currently my knowledge and position is:

1. Maidsafe has been around for ages and ages (over 10 years iirc)
2. It has had many rounds of investment
3. It is not based on a blockchain and whether Maidsafe will eevn work is uncertain
4. The price is going up cause of a) the ETH effect and b) an upcoming Maidsafe beta


I think Maidsafe is a very creative and ambitious project BUT:

- I'm not confident they can pull it off
- between IPFS, Ethereum, ring sigs,  blockchain nameserver tech and the rest I dunno if Maidsafe has a place anymore - that ship might have already sailed.
-when I hear Maidsafe devs talking to Chris Ellis and other hosts things always sound fuzzy.

Q. What peer reviews, crytographical or otherwise, has Maidsafe had?

Id be curious to hear how Maidsafe supporters respond to these statements. I remain open-minded.

Thanks.

Maidsafe smells like NXT.

Yet another hype-driven platform-as-a-platform service portal.  A complex solution in search of some problem to solve.   Roll Eyes

SIA and Storj are doing the distributed cloud drive thing with blockchains, so you know it works.

ETH and Rootstock can do whatever operations you want done to those data layers.

Why do we need Maidsafe again?  Is something wrong with TOR and i2p and VPNs?

I get the pumper mindset at work here.  Buy the rumor, sell the news!   Cool

Just don't be left holding the Maidsafe bag over the next 10 years, as they prepare the shipping version.
