If I copy-paste http://188.138.57.93/ac into the browser, I see three (3) submissions so far.

Did you got the amount to send?

PS: Ah, so "submission" is a correct word in our context.

It is indeed functional now, except for a couple HTML bugs (Button not working and link appearing white against light grey background) that will be fixed a bit later tonight as another task that required attention came up.

But yes you can follow the instructions now and begin collecting.

Begin collecting officially? Or simbolically, or testnet?

I think you shouldnt tell anyone to start collecting without doing it in an official way. This gives a very unprofessional perception, as no one knows when people can start doing it, until when, how Jinn donators can recollect, should anyone really send real btc even if its a small amount for a testnet?, web with bugs still, etc.. There is nowhere to find all the conditions and instructions on collection.

Marketing-wise this gives a very bad image, of doing things as they come without planning.

Try again. The very first submission got an incorrect amount to send (fractions of satoshis), so we removed it.

Hm, I expected that "submit" -> "submission" transformation was correct but googling for the latter gave me links to 50 shades of grey...

You might have made us jump the gun, WorldCoiner!   Grin

...blank page (i.e. no satoshis) @ http://188.138.57.93/ac after submitting my IOTA address...

Yeah sorry, I just see this:
Step 1

Open this link
Step 2

Disconnect from the internet (important!)
Step 3

Type in your secret password (keep this secret!) and save the address that will be generated. The password can only consist of latin characters in lower case and the digit '9'. We highly recommend that you store these locally on paper or in something like KeePass to ensure that it's not lost or compromised.
Step 4

Connect to the internet again and type the address that you just generated into the form below. Hit 'Send' to get the amount of satoshis to transfer in order to verify your ownership.
Step 5

Transfer the amount as instructed in the previous step to 1G8hh3bHMMhZSATwisBVbGFSYBKK3Suib8 from the same address that you purchased IOTA from.

And thought it´s already working now.

There is a boy who send 10 000 JINN, which is like 63BTC https://www.mynxt.info/transaction/12896754420028738317
JINN whales really JINN  Cheesy


Good catch. Incredible! I have just 10 Jinn - and keep them of course!

I wanna to share some of my thoughts.

First of all I don't feel anything about this whale, cause he/she really buy JINN tokens, thus support Triangle and development of JINN hardware CPU.

Secondly, IOTA may be the only "altcoin" which can survive in long term (5 - 10 years) cause it's planned to be preinstalled on JINN CPU and today competition is so crazy, that I'm not sure that even Ethereum will survive. The current trend is private blockchains, like a bank which develop or buy private blockchain tech for itself and don't care about Bitcoin. If IOTA indeed will become the standard IoT ledger - we win.

Thirdly, I have no doubt that in 5 - 10 years CIA/NSA/IBM will get its first, very very expansive quantum computer - just to crack other countries intelligence stuff. I don't want to store my money in Bitcoin in this case.


I was fairly heavily invested in Ethereum and still am. And I STILL think that iota carries more potential.

My guess is that is James (JL777) cause he does that type of thing.  It's been a looooooong time since I've paid attention to his escapades.  Wonder what he's up to these days within SuperNet.

Yes i am sure.
some investors sent multiple transactions from the same address.
I count unique addresses and not transactions.

Gotcha, thanks!

Great project!

Bit off topic but since we are talking about getting involved,

What would the steps be to become a coder/programmer for crypto and block(less)chain technologies.
I know this will take years, it took a while but iota/ bitcoin/ crypto/ blockchaintech has inspired me to get involved.

Learn C first, then C++? Mac or Ubuntu?

Thanks

First take the CS50x Course offered by Harvard (https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-harvardx-cs50x) - it's probably the greatest introductory course into Computer Science and teaches you about the important concepts that will help you along the way. The language you'll be learning here is C.

After that, it depends on the type of development you want to be involved in. If you just want to develop apps, Javascript will get you a long way. Just look at Ethereum, you can code very potent DApps with Meteor (https://meteor.com) and Solidity (Ethereum's Javascript-like smart contract language). You can become proficient in Javascript within 2 - 3 months easy.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info, I will be following the course!

Are you sure you got it right? There are 370 transactions according to the address - https://blockchain.info/address/1G8hh3bHMMhZSATwisBVbGFSYBKK3Suib8

Yes i am sure.

@joschua011 really good post!

This analysis reveals that there's few whales and no whale who sits on gigantic amounts. Healthy distribution for a kickstart on the economy!

People may have used different accounts, and invested Jinn + btc, so we cant really know, but it looks good, yes Smiley

Naturally, but there was no incentive to do so.

Not being seen as a whale, and not being accused of bad distribution is a good enough incentive.
