We are very happy to announce our latest merchant: Lasercity.

LaserCity has been the trusted address in South-Holland for the last three years for the removal and fading of tattoos. But also pigmentation, birthmarks and age spots. LaserCity also offers lasering of onychomycosis and permanent hair removal through I.P.L.

This is brilliant, now it's not just food, NLG getting a variety of merchants!

How important is it for NLG to have a iOS wallet? Is it a nice to have or will it bring more business? I know it would be good for the price as not many coins will have it.

More business, increase in price, first scrypt coin to have one in the world meaning more news coverage and more users. Full-fledge, full-service cryptocurrency. As it should be Grin

Yes, something nice will be announced today! And this week we will give more details about the iOS project and how we can work together on that.

So we will have some other news today, excluding the 2 updates that will still come this week... it might have to do with a new offline merchant and something your girlfriends and wives would love too apparently.

Awesomesauce!

I'll be waiting Grin

Keep the merchants coming!! This can only be good for the coin

Did Swisscex fix their bugs by the way? If so, we can go back to trading on there.

I think so but there are still some bots trading over there but that's no problem.

Yeah that happens everywhere. As long as the system handles it, it shouldn't pose any problems.

Conclusion:
I doubt GND is aiming to attack the coin, this miner has been in the network for a long time and if he/she wanted to perform a 51% attack he/she could have already done so already.
GND is probably dumping coins on the market now and then, but that could be explained because those MH/s don't pay for themselves (ah well, indirectly they do)..
Having said that, it would indeed be better for the network to have a evenly divided hashrate. This will take time, as more miners join the network.

For now I don't see a lot of things we can do. KGW is doing it's work nicely, taking the MH/s waves as they come and go.

The NDA address is the Hardcoreminers pool (the awards in the block chain to the NDA address are the ones that Hardcoreminers reports to have found). That pool is doing 0.7GHs/s atm, with one user doing 0.5GHs/s.

Easy things first. To see the hashrate division in a certain timespan take a block explorer and it shows you who mined that particular block. Just do this for N blocks and you can calculate which percentage is mined by which wallet. In the original design of bitcoin you had to sustain a 51% for a long time to do harm. With KGW it retargets pretty fast so depending on the algo it can be hours to days.
As important your malware and virus scanner warns you something fuzzy is going on as important is it for a coin to get warnings when something with the hashrate division is going on. Thats reactive security.

To keep it easy I will skip details as much as possible and some internal things I did not investigate thus do not know the exact functioning. For active security you have to dig in the mining protocol. At a certain moment a lot of hashing is done and when some node finds a block everyone is notified and starts confirming the finding. In the current protocol everyone "forgets" the past and there is no mechanism I know of that keeps track of who mines what. It is taken care of on a block by block basis. If you want to protect a network against concentration you need to know what a certain node submitted in the past. To get that information now you have to load the blockchain. But what if you do keep track of who submits what whitin a certain timespan just in the protocol. With that knowledge you can put a ban on a source for a certain amount of time. or whatever measure you take to slow down things a bit. At that moment this very high hashpower miner is not able to do any work until his ban is expired. If there are people over here with in depth protocol knowledge I would love to discuss this because it save me a lot of investigation. I also can name dozens of problems to address but thats a challenge...

Cool stuff, I'm sure Geert Johan is reading this and understanding it all. Grin

All kidding aside, I like the fact that we could weed out any possible threats and if need be ban them for a period of time to make sure no attack is launched. It could lead to false bans and might add some negative value to mining NLG if you have large mining-rigs and don't want to get banned for having a large rig (no pun intended), but some necessary evils can't be avoided I suppose. Maybe send Geert Johan a PM, I'm sure he loves to discuss these kinds of things or knows someone that does.

Dear Buerra, I will ignore the insulting tone you spread. Maybe it's wise to get more information about how crypto currencies work and how YOUR coins are safe. Because you are very active in the merchants area, which is very good and admirable, it would be a bless to realise there is also something as the technical and security side. Whitout proper monitoring we can't garantee the coin is existant tomorrow. And without a coin all your effort seeking merchants is washed down the drain.'At the moment I'm not in the position to create software to monitor the chain. Some people know I'm watching / trading and try to keep this coin healthy and thats enough to say about it.

A lot of people look at the wrong figures my friend, it's about the same as stating that a multimilion company is healty because it's selling multimillions. Selling multimillions is one thing but what matters is whats left after the costs are deducted. So a coin is not healthy when it has a high hashrate, it's healthy when the hasrate is spread amongs as many as possible. A coin is not healthy when the price is steady or rising, nope, it's healthy when there is a constant demand on the buying side.

I didn't mean to be insulting, like I said I appreciate your input. It's just that, even if you don't have time to program something, which is understandable. We all have other things to do as well. But you could mention what you are thinking and what you would make in order to protect it etc. in stead of just saying that it needs protection. That would be way more helpful. That is all

Besides, that entire post wasn't aimed at you, I apologize if you took it all the wrong way. I'm just saying that there are too many people saying things and not doing things.

And yes. Some look at the wrong figures, having a hashrate over 1 GH/s is good but it needs to be spread around a lot more. And we need a constant flow of buyers, but in order to do that we need merchants that accept the coin so people have a reason to buy more and spend it. In stead of just buying it to hold or trade. It's a mixture of things. True that.

So again, I apologize if you took it the wrong way, just speaking my mind as you are Wink

No need to apologize, you're part right about people shouting and doing nothing. But the same as with the misinterpretation of the figures, some people are acting behind the scene so you never know what someone really is or does. A lot of development work is never seen by the users and the same story goes for designing. You as a copywriter are in a lucky position your effort is read and recognized. geert Johan spends days making a program and all you see is the front webpage...
Whats important here is that there are a lot of dedicated people busy in some way to make this coin a succes!

I sure have some idea's about protecting the coin but shouting those idea's out here has no use because we end up in the technical jungle of Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto.

You never know if people are just shouting and doing nothing maybe they speak what's on there mind or try to give ideas to other people no one knows.

THSMINER please do share you insights about how to protect the coin because I'm interested in the technical side of thing's maybe more people do or give a link where to find it. Wink

and how did you calculate the 58% for our mystery dumper?
