Ha, I finally got my SKY coins off Cryptopia which, unfortunately, is now a 3rd rate exchange...
It's only a matter of time before a major like Binance lists SKY.


50% bump on the news.

That's the way you do it, money for nothing and...

https://qtum.org
Qtum, will probably replace ethereum because it is simpler and has fewer problems. The UXTO model is much cleaner. They have a lot of previous developers and have already done two previous coins and are the best team I have seen so far.

Also how can you be so confident qtum is going to replace ETH based on it's tech when they haven't released code yet?

Ethereum is using an accounts model, like Ripple. Which is anti-blockchain and anti-privacy and very traceable. It is against the philosophy of Bitcoin.

All coins going forward will be on the UXTO model and it is best practice for blockchain. Moving turing complete smart contracts off of accounts model and onto UXTO is extremely important and that is what qtum appears to be doing.

We need to figure out how to do general computation on a UXTO model. Instead of being restrained to the Ripple/Ethereum accounts model.

I think they will get closer to the goal, but only get there part way

thin client for smart contracts (major limitation for existing system)
moving smart contracts onto UXTO (major milestone)
I do not know if qtum has succeeded, but they seem to be going in right direction. I talked to one of their technical leads and they were focused on "Getting it working with something we can do now" and then incremental improvement over time. So first implementing the Ethereum virtual machine on top of UXTO, then working out the research problems for a native turing complete UXTO language later.

I do not know if there is a way to full UXTO while still having "gas". I think you will need to get rid of the "gas". In the ethereum model to take full advantage. I do not know if qtum will be able to go far enough in doing that, but is heading in the correct direction.

Ethereum tries to be both a token and a computer.

we started with pure tokens (Bitcoin)
then we added a computer to the tokens (Ethereum)
now we just trying to figure out how to build pure computer on UXTO
Then once we have the computer, the tokens or coins just become a program or entity running on this "distributed computer"
Bitcoin, Ethereum, qtum, byteballs, etc are just stepping stones. Towards a final solution. None of these will exist or be relevant in ten years. We are in an age of transition and I am looking at the projects that are getting closer to the goal, in a pure mathematical sense.

Even Skycoin is being ripped up and its foundations constantly rewritten when it is advantageous to do so. Bitcoin is static and relatively unchanging, while Ethereum has been able to get the community to accept constant small changes.

Skycoin is on a punctuated equilibrium model, where we do bug fixes and polishing, then completely rip up and rebuild the foundation as needed, then go back to bug fixes and polishing.

Right now, we are exploring new networking primitives and the advantage of immutable data structures, but are still on blockchain. Putting EVM on UXTO is heading towards immutable data structures from the perspective of computation, while we are heading towards immutable data structures from the path of consensus, networking and simplifying object synchronization protocols.

One of the pilots that is being spun out of that project is the distibuted, peer-to-peer social media platform built upon immutable data structures and peer-to-peer object replication. For this Skycoin chose a public key, cryptographic publisher/subscriber model and DAG immutable object tree. While Ethereum's project chose a Kadmelia DHT block storage model.

Ignoring the individuals and the drama, I am just looking at the "future direction" and who is heading in that direction.

Also how can you be so confident qtum is going to replace ETH based on it's tech when they haven't released code yet?

I am not confident it will replace Ethereum. At the start, it will be equivalent to ethereum in terms of being able to run the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) on top of qtum with UXTO. Then they will do a native language.

It will depend on the implementation. I do not know if qtum has succeeded, but they seem to be going in right direction.

Similarly, Byteballs may fail or may not exist in ten years, but they are pioneering the first experiments into replacing the Blockchain with a DAG. Which we have been considering for several years now.

Similarly, Bitcoin was the first but people are getting used to the idea that it will not be the final or best cryptocurrency. That it was just the first generation and that we can build better and improve it substantially.

Most ICOs you see these days, they’re not asking for money with the promise of developing something in the future. This is a Skycoin with a 7 years long development and the testnet of their first flagship project is about to launch.

Well, they all make promises for developing something in the future, but we all know that most of them won't actually get there.

Geez, are you making space shuttles with that amount of money? I'm interested but leery of lofty ICO expectations by devs.

 Looking at the price movement, I might make it as long term until the price really shows to get a high profit for me.

Skywire Testnet Going Live May 22nd, 2018

The anticipation has been building, and we’re happy to announce the Skywire testnet will go live one week from today on May 22nd. This significant milestone for Skycoin will finally allow users to connect to create the new internet and engage in an inexpensive, faster, and more secure online experience.

The operation of the testnet will serve as a sophisticated pre-launch program for our upcoming mainnet by stress-testing the network, solidifying the economic model, and ensuring that nodes operate according to protocol.

For more information see our official Skywire Testnet FAQ https://www.skycoin.net/blog/statement/skywire-testnet-faq/

https://www.skycoin.net/blog/statement/skycoin-skywire-testnet-ishere/

This is good news indeed, I've been waiting for this for what seems like years now (maybe it has been years lol )

Skycoin is a potential black swan!

Imo this is one of the most perspective projects in crypto. Especially with the latest info about asics. Great team and tech.

Hi guys. Do you remember when #SKY got hacked? Me neither.
Do you remember when #SKY got rekt by kitties? Well...
Awesome coin. I don't say it every day: Top 10 on CMC soon.

 Cheesy no doubt that Sky will rise and claim a top 25 or even top 10 spot on CMC. But really more interesting is the start of the testnet with the miner going life and with that the development over the next months

The price will go up more.
