Topic: [MOON] Mooncoin 🌙 move to a new thread - page 197. (Read 317746 times)

Yeah. We need more focus, on helping promote Mooncoin, as well as getting an experienced dev team that could deliver the goods. If it manages to gather around a group of talented developers and marketing experts, then MOON can rise up quickly in value and popularity.

Before you know it, Mooncoin would become a feature-rich cryptocurrency, that will gather the likes of anyone who would love to send money to others at an extremely fast and cheap way, or investors who would like to buy and hold it for the long term.

But as you said earlier, we should never give up and try harder each day to help Mooncoin become a success. I still have around a million MOON sitting on my wallet, and will buy more over time as you'll never know when it will skyrocket in value.

Nevertheless, a unified community will always make a cryptocurrency a success. Let's wait and see what will happen from now and beyond. Just my opinion.

Good afternoon from Greece. These are great news !

Hi all,

I've managed to get back on top of things, after doing some freelance work for a while.
Everyone is quite keen for an update on things, so here we go:

Mooncoin 0.13 release is very stable.

Total resident memory usage under 75mb (whilst syncing chain).
Time from launching Mooncoin to being ready to use, in the case of a sync'd chain, has been halved (minimum).

Standard sync time from scratch to current blockheight is 34 minutes.
Due partially to 'headers first' functionality seen in late model codebases, but mainly optimized PoW validation during synchronization.

Extensive testing with the new Dual KGW3 difficulty retargetting algorithm. Probably the best i've worked with so far, especially the BitSend timeout feature (this will gradually drop the difficulty over time if a block has not been found in x minutes).

After a lot of testing; i'm not quite happy with the new custom PoW algorithm and it will be tweaked over the next few days, to ensure that: a GPU miner is not possible, botnets do not become an issue and also to guarantee protection against double-spend attacks. Recently HTML5 suffered a 'catastrophic' doublespend at Bleutrade, and I do not wish to ever see this occur with Mooncoin.

I've also decided that Moonlite will be a plug-in module, rather than in-wallet; meaning that the 0.13 release can be done earlier, and that development can be done on each independently, rather than one holding the other up.

I'd like to see the fork to the new algo/codebase before block 1,200,000; but this is up to the community to discuss.

The approach is not bad.
But then it's logically not to touch a decentralised software, at least, encoded rules, e.g. not to increase inflation,

This isn't about the software. It is about finally seeing some progress.

however, sometimes things are really good or bad,
e.g. if MOON is 0.1 Sat again in the future, will it be bad, or just an opinion?

It was good for the people who bought into that price last time, but for the people who bought into moon on cryptsy it was a disaster.

A board will take steps to ensure this never happens again, the other option is leaving it to chance.

I've asked barrysty1e to post an update in this ANN on his current work.
He told that he's not too much motivated with money.

The software is decentralised. That is where the fairness comes into it.

To say if something is good or bad is an opinion.

Not my opinion,
it's how decentralised systems work.

If you are trying to implement something not good, not fair etc,
people (miners, exchanges, block explorers) simply don't support that.
You can start your own exchanges, pools, explorers, but it will cost a lot of money,
and will lead to a split anyway.
So why do you need all that,
if you can be fair and suggest and implement good things, people see that and understand, and agree with it.

Bitcoin is not a company, has no directors and it's successful.

Nearly every coin has better tech than Bitcoin and if it launched today it would fail dramatically. It was the first of it's kind and goes by it's own rules because it has had a long time to establish itself and everyone knows what it is.

I'm not against progress and a team,
also endless polls are definitely a bad idea.

A board will stop the need for unnecessary polls.

But why just not to suggest something good? Be sure no one will be against it.

Completely your opinion what is good or bad and completely unrealistic to expect no opposition to any plan.

Why do we need a board of directors just to implement something good?

Because very little has happened in four years.

A new algo, okay, no one is against it, people understand that currently it doesn't work as needed,
just come with you GOOD initiatives and everything is okay.

A board is probably the best step Mooncoin has ever made.

If you do something which doesn't affect people, their money etc, they will not mind.

Not having a board adversely affects my money, I mind.


You're welcome.

Not contributing to the solution and being arrogant about it is probably the reason nothing has happened. I ask you to take a step back and get to work on building Mooncoin.

You're welcome.

Listing at exchanges, block explorers, nodes, devs... since 2014
also to barry (since 2016).

BTW he PMd now for more donations.
Did you raise something for him already, should I redirect him to Discord?

To who did they donate? That money should go to Baz/Community fund.

Lol, actually takes away all the bureaucracy we have right now. You know, the endless polls for every small matter.

Good things do not work without directors. That has been proven over and over in history. Feel free to proof me wrong.

Better to do nothing than to do things that will affect MOON.

Also something is done definitely, people were thanking for that,
some members donated a lot since 2014, you just have no idea,
because they don't speak about it.

You are being dramatic when you keep talking about centralisation and bureaucracy.
Look at any of the most successful up and coming coins and you will see they all have teams of people giving direction to the coin.

If you want to be key persons in MOON development,
no one will mind it, do something, raise funds, find transparent and good devs,
create projects, discuss, promote etc.


The real question is, why haven't you or anyone else done this already?

Someone reading about any products features should understand what they are within a few seconds and not need to find a website that to ask someone about how feature x works.

The proposal is to create a board and not a centralised company. However, there is a clear need for organisation and direction, how do you think we can take mooncoin to the market without some formal structure? Read up on open source for profit companies- that is essentially what we are without formally declaring it.
 The software should always be decentralised, otherwise it defeats the purpose of the blockchain.

If you want to be key persons in MOON development,
no one will mind it, do something, raise funds, find transparent and good devs,
create projects, discuss, promote etc.

but don't try to bring centralisation and bureaucracy,
it will not work.

MOON has 37000 funded addresses,
only if more than a half of addresses (which exist at the moment) vote with messages, signed with these addresses, that they want
to convert MOON to a centralised company, there will be a real quorum,
not just let's vote somewhere during 24 hours and then decide things.

If anyone has questions, he can always ask them here or PM,

a progress cannot be done just by trying to convert a decentralised coin to a centralised company.
It will not work.

I am aware of what content is available and many questions get left unanswered re moonword and smart-likes.
You´re here debating against me over something good for mooncoin and not taking steps to build mooncoin.

If you are not sure what Mooncoin features really do,
please just read trusted sources of Mooncoin information,
which you could find in the OP.


P.S. Barrysty1e has just PMd, maybe more news soon.
