Topic: [SKY] Skycoin Launch Announcement - page 53. (Read 381579 times)

I tried some of the mesh code, it ran but i did not saw any connects. Also no feedback here so far about them. Skynode itself seems to run smoothly. The wallet was a bit laggy on my side.

How ready is the meshnet?

I liked the original plan to distribute much of the Skycoin to mesh node operators, since this is an effective way to replace mining for mass distribution of the coin with the great improvement that unlike Proof of Waste mining, the mesh networking actually provides something of value, and in this case, is a great way to overcome the chicken and egg problem to mass adoption by building out the mesh infrastructure with viral adoption.

I'm sure, that a lot of us are waiting for this opportunity and start the nodes immediately. I hope it will be launched soon. But of course we can't make them rush as that could lead to errors, mistakes.

Hi all,

Hope you guys are doing well. I'm writing to offer some thoughts to the developer who I understand goes by the handle of skycoin. It's my most sincere hope that your project succeeds and I would like to make a few suggestions that might help if you haven't already thought of them.

I have just recently found success in crypto investing and this post is my first on this forum.

I learned about bitcoin back in 2008 and tried mining for a few days. But after finding that my CPU usage was too high for my crappy old laptop to sustain, and after learning that a dedicated rig was around $3500, I gave up and have only just recently gotten back into the game after finally having enough money to invest into some ETH back in December. Now things are roaring (my ETH gave me an 8X from 1100USD to 8500USD, effectively launching my trading career after all these years), and I have positions of a few thousand dollars in a number of altcoins with large market caps.

This past week, I have decided I want a 1000 USD position in a smallcap coin that might bring about some of the larger gains from which a few of my friends have benefited these past years.

In the course of researching candidates, I have come across skycoin and have done probably three or four hours of reading and testing the wallet as well as trying out cryptopia to actually have a small sum with which test functionality.

I'm fully licensed to practice psychotherapy and have managed a counseling agency for the past decade but have recently begun a career transition as a result of the field of mental health incapable of providing a head of household with an avenue through which he or she might earn a living wage.

In an effort to find a career that provides adequate earnings, I have resuscitated an old career I once bagan after obtaining an IMBA degree years ago and recently cofounded a boutique marketing consulting firm called cocreatethefuture operating largely in Asia and Europe, and am in the medium stages of discussions to have this firm’s work be placed under the umbrella of the Emerging Future Institute in Korea.  Finally, I’m also partnering with one of my b-school buddies to build a team assisting crypto startup founders with financing and marketing for their projects.

Anyway, skycoin, that’s my resume. I wanted to say hi and see if there’s any chance I can help with your project. Right off, please know that we share a lot of the same political views as I was redpilled in 2016 by the YouTube skeptic community and therefore have a particular appreciation for your work.

I would say that I share the opinion expressed by some others in the thread that marketing and in particular, the choices of what to communicate and how to do so can have a significant effect on the reception of the extraordinary work you are doing. On this matter, I would offer 2 suggestions and am most pleased to continue the discussion if desired.

First, the rant on page 150 of this thread has almost every prediction or report of the darkest examples of the evils that can be seen with mass human organization. I once wrote a paper in graduate school about how evil, not the kind of evil wherein an individual murders someone, but systemic evils, are what I called the detritus of mass human organization and went on to describe how these evils are inevitable and, well, it was a whoooole paper on that stuff.

At any rate, these evils certainly exist and are affecting world populations worse every day. The only item I didn’t see in that rant, and I have to be honest I couldn’t read all of it because the darkness was too much to bear, is this story about how children in Canada who desire sex reassignment procedures are being removed by social services from parents who are refusing to let their children undergo the surgery. If you haven’t heard of that one, I’m sure you’ll want to add it to your list.

But as far as that rant goes, and here is my hopeful contribution to your efforts to bring forth your project to the other Joe Schmoe’s of the world like myself who, despite having been enslaved by debt to a large extent, are still somewhat independent and can scrape enough together to collectively make your project part of the future and are needed to do so. It is that the rant might be reshaped to include a more concise message that ends with an explanation of how your technology can see about correction this trajectory human history seems destined toward. Were that rant to be trimmed down, made more palatable, and concluded with your solution described with the hope, passion, magnaminity, kindness, and goodwill I believe must be within you but for whatever reason was or perhaps has thus far not been shared, I think this piece could be a very fine marketing asset.

The other suggestion that I would make is to present yourself with your actual identity along with your team in a friendly way on the homepage in the way that the other founders are doing. This might be something untenable and could be a newbie suggestion on my part given the space in which your project hopes to serve. But if the risks don’t present any actual dangers, I would say it’s really important to the credibility and perception of the reliability of your team to come forward and say hello to the world.

Please PM me if you would like to talk on Skype or Google hangouts, I’m happy to help if you think your project might benefit from talking with me.

This statement is more truth than I have read throughout this thread. It is exactlly correct.
I'm sure it will be hard even impossible in crypto threads to find so many posts by the dev's about the corrupt things that exist in the world. Then when given the chance to initiate their own creation of money create the distribution that gives them virtually complete control over the money supply.
This is absolute hypocracy to the highest degree.

Issue is how long it takes to complete the full distribution, as long as the dev has bulk of the coins most investors will look elsewhere. After all these years the main issue is 'when', not 'how', the window for Skycoin to make top 20 is smaller than some here may wish to think about. Good tech dies on the grapevine sometimes, could be the fate of Skycoin if the distro isn't completed asap.

Yeah, I think that's the best approach.

Airdrop is a bad idea since there's no way to prevent people from claiming multiple slots while maintaining anonymity. Best idea is to make distribution part of the protocol to reward those who support the network by running nodes and other sky services. How this could be implemented as an automatic part of the protocol is what we should be discussing. Ultimately its up to skycoin dev and I trust they will make a fair decision.

Flooding the supply is not optimal.

Or they can give a few hundred coins to active participators to start, just like how Decred did it at first.

I have setup a new skynode on a linux system, i intend to leave it alive and server as a new node in the network.
I tried the wallet (which seems to be a bit laggy) and also experimented with the meshnet code. But i'am uncertain if it works already. I see some socks5 code, and local vpn network configs...is there a profound documentation for setup?

What else can be done with this network?

Cheers

There is no distribution problem, only people who want to get their hands on cheap skycoins.

If the price rises the liquidity will follow.

we should solve the distribution problems.

that's the most important things

otherwise no investors want to join!

I had the same problem on windows 10 but it works for me on windows 7 and I'm also about to try it on the ubuntu I recently set up. But yeah, it really ought to work on windows 10 too...

My windows wallet is blank. I cannot see the normal menu that lists the Sky balance. I updated the software but the problem persists. Let me know how I can fix the error. Also, updating is okay right? The wallet file is still there?

Any update?

Sock5 is an internet protocol that doesn't require a client to share their ip address with a server to securely access it.

Synero has a bigger one but yeah this is ones still waaaaay too big.

bro what does all that shit mean to us normal folks, a terminal yes some text yes ok well we need more info wtf is this shit
