This coin is gonna delisted from bittrex if there will be no volume

Thanks bro!
This worked!

I used the bootstrap.dat and I am still 8 weeks behind. My wallet won't sync...Anybody got any good nodes?

BitcoinNational did a bang up job! I highly recommend anyone who wants a snap shot on everything crypto and cannabis to check out his write-up.

Thanks Jahvinci!

Yes, there can be some re-purposing of the term DOPE toward some theme this is true.  Right, I get the point that Pinche is making that adoption might not come in the from of DopeCoin per say , but then again dogecoin got adoption so who knows! 

The world needs more blunt honesty.
Well Done.

stop by the #420 JFA

One side effect of staking too often is an increase in the size of your wallet file. Have gone back to using the 5k version as that is currently staking every hour or so (with the current difficulty) vs every 6 minutes. I noticed the difficulty go way down by doing so....from .0021 to .0011.

The default wallet stakes a few times a day (2-3 I think) due to all your coins being used up (if you have under 2 million) and the 8 hours to maturity. I am considering going back to using that as I personally don't need to be staking that often. Yes it will reduce the difficulty but we should still see close to 40 second block times.

Pinche makes a valid point, however I don't see why some time and energy rebranding couldn't fix it. Maybe come up with an acronym for DOPE, encouraging licit use or direct focus toward different aspects of the coin, like security or even going green with POS. I think Pinche is just pointing out that the current branding isn't optimal in terms of adoption.

Thanks  

Yes, that is always has been the knock on DopeCoin , but the fact is any crypto is going to be used for nefarious activities. I still recall Potcoin saying they would ban people who use it PotCoin  to buy things other then Pot. I never looked back and dumped all my Potcoin after that  It isn't realistic. People will use Potcoin for whatever they want. As for the name of DOPEcoin is suppose to be 'cool' also and as in the movie DOPE shows you that is the case. But, your point is taken pinchecobadre.

Btw: The whole concept of the 420 JOINT alliance ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-the-epic-420-alliance-joint-force-united-we-stand-874423 ) was built for this. I started the idea basically to bring a 'foundation' type org. to the crypto scene.

We can build it as we are on coinomi and have an android wallet and have a good dev. who can do this kind of work.  We've been talking to shapeshift and waiting to hear back. If everyone puts there mind to it big things can happen.

It seems that making the value smaller would make the coin more usable. I brought up earlier that people looking to use the coin in a transaction can't stake their coins, missing out on possible interest. Having a smaller % of coins staked at any one time would help. Plus that's more staking, which should improve the network's health.

I don't know if its really necessary to make it user selectable. I think we should be able to come up with a reasonable value that works well, at least for now while the network is small.

On a side note...it looks like I could make the max split a command line option using the command "reservebalance" as a template but that would take more time than I am willing to exert. Have not checked out how hyperstake or other coins do it yet.

I have been trying different amounts for the max split setting using this address: PSbEfgz1EVA5z2mNwwbiTftgPBzFjhY6p5

The latest amount I have been testing is a max split setting of 100.

Some observations...as we already know, reducing the max stake causes you to stake more often but with a smaller reward. The address above has about 81k worth of Potcoin but only about 6K is currently staked leaving the rest for new blocks or to be spent. The wallet anticipates a new stake every 6 minutes with the current difficulty of .0024.

When I was testing with a max split of 5K about 46k was staked with whatever the difficulty was at the time. We know that decreasing the max split will cause more stakes to occur but also increase the difficulty.

I think the time coins spend being "staked" is 8 hours before they are available again.

Thoughts?

Noticed a bunch new Potcoin posts on twitter today, featuring Mickey Mouse no less . Posted by "PotCoin News Watch ‏@PotCoinBot" Who controls this bot, does anyone know?

 Just vaporware, obviously.The "development team" not just fucked up on POSv they haven't been able to keep the roadmap that they themselves set --- err, come to think of it, what "development team". It's just a fucked up individual under the pseudonym of "PotLabs" which, evidently, is no longer doing or even pretending to be doing anything. So, for all intents and purposes. this is an abandoned project, therefore any discussions, short of taking the project over, are a complete waste of time.

Agree with this. Also its interesting that nobody associated with the Potcoin development team has had anything to add to these discussions. Maybe that's the problem. We're all assuming there is still a development team running this thing, but maybe its been quietly abandoned after the PoSv screw up and we're all just wasting our breath.

I think anything we do toward greater adoption has to begin with some sort of mobile wallet or payment app. Its the only way I see an average person picking this up. Based on the road map I saw from ~5 months ago a mobile application for iPhones and Android was supposed to be launched back in August:

So what ever happened to that, Is it just vaporware? Has anything been released or any updates provided?

pinchecobadre

A much needed therapy session!

Lets all go out and drink or inhale something together!

 

The adoption and ease-of-use, will be a good indicator of which of the coins should be supported.

That is where the discussions in the thread, I think (my small opinion), should be the focus at this point. 

.....consolidation, while an excellent idea, would really be a pipe dream and will never EVER happen given the personalities at the helm of all these coins are either no where to be found, can't see past their own egos or are just unprofessional imbeciles who no one would ever want to work with. 

The problem all coins face is adoption.....the technology is all there....it's sound, it works, but no one in the legitimate cannabis-industry is willing to take the risks....largely due to the fucking imbeciles claiming to be DEVs and the cesspool that is BCTalk......one a side note, I would never EVER encourage ANY business person to come read the fucking bullshit that goes on here.

Anyway, back to the consolidation idea and why it's a pointless discussion, let's look at the so called DEVS of some of these coins...

Potcoin....PotLabs who? They've all but abandoned the community and don't give a shit when the community calls for change. "Let's Grow Together?"...... What a joke!

Cannacoin....seriously? Bunch of pre-pubescent stereotypical fuck-wads....Josh is a good developer, but needs to be locked in a hole coding and the muzzle kept on him tightly....and his brother locked up in jail with no internet access.  Josh chose "family" over his project and let his brother James do so much PR damage with his vendetta against CANN. Since working with Josh means you have to deal with his dipshit brother, Cannacoin wouldn't be worth the time.

Cannabiscoin have been unjustifiably attacked by those Cannacoin fuck-tards....Deltanine's greatest admirers....there's no chance in hell he'll want to work with anyone given the attacks he's received at the hands for the CCN people - I don't blame him either.  Also, if you chose to believe all the crap that has been written about them, why would we want to work with him......NEXT...

Maryjanecoin ..... Adam Garrity....for real? You'd be lucky to have your question stay in his thread for 5 mins before he lays down his censorship hammer and deletes your post.  He's another who thinks he's God's gift to the crypto-space, that everyone is beneath him and all others are copycats of his ideas....GOD forbid you tell him his "dabbubbleconcentrates.com" website looks like it wws developed by a five year old.....Adam will not work with anyone.

Dopecoindude....I actually like this guy....has some good intentions, but i'm not sure encouraging adoption and use of Dopecoin for nefarious transactions is the right pitch.

Jahvinci and the new Motacoin.....I also like this guy....he was directly responsible for hyping MARYJ to some stellar prices, but hyping and pump and dumps shouldn't be the focal point.....adoption should.  It's too early to tell how Jahvinci and Motacoin will fare, but he seems motivated and may be worth putting your faith in him.....just don't ask Adam Garrity about him as he'll quickly tell you some bullshit scam story, rather than STFU.....another sign of how much of an unprofessional loser Adam is....the better man wouldn't say shit.

Rdyoung, you have some decent ideas, but you're a lot like Adam Garrity in that you just can't handle criticisms AT ALL. You are convinced nyc2fuse is a moron who can't possibly grasp what your saying.  Your responses are riddled with unfounded accusations of stupidity, when that's clearly not the case. Nyc2fuse writes as intelligently as anyone I've seen here and you'd be wise to take some pointers.  With each one of your lame tirades at nyc2fuse, you look more and more childish to the reader.  I'd work on that if I were you, otherwise, no one will take you seriously; why would we when you can't seem to maintain a civil and intelligent exchange.

It's a shame because you're so passionate about cryptos and we need people like you, but not if you're unwilling to debate without resorting to childish remarks like...."clearly you either don't grasp ... Yadda yadda yadda or you're just an idiot".... These.types of exchanges are nauseating.

Anyway, sorry for the tirade....I needed a .moment to vent.

+1 to that!

I don't think changing the coin is the solution to anything right now. The technology has already far outpaced the market, at least as far as the blockchain is concerned. The industry we're all targeting is largely storefront retail businesses. Sure there are online head shops and such that will accept crypto currency, but most stores today are not doing that. Also last time I checked sending drugs through the mail was still illegal. So people are not going to be doing that with this coin (mostly...)

I think the biggest problem we have is making this thing (whatever it ends up being) work smoothly during in person sales/exchanges. And ATMs are not the answer.
