@Mark, have a look at the Trade Tracker. We won't use Notes/Comments for this. You're instead filling in your trade and when someone puts 'Accepted', the sheet will enter 'N' under 'Sent' for both users. As you each send your coin, change the 'N' to a 'Y' and when you're both 'green', you can set it to Complete. Give it a try if that doesn't make sense; should be easy enough, hopefully! Guy's already using it for your current trade.

@Everyone, please be sure to use your exact username when entering it in the Trade Tracker. Eg. IMZ should put 'IMZ' and not 'IMZ Mark'. This way, the total counts will be calculated correctly. No biggie, but worth mentioning. Ta.

@Benefactor/bursar Mark: I'm now up to NXT 1.4.11 and it's scanning blockchain starting from height 0. I can't understand why it's taking so long to get through these updates but I'm gritting my teeth and will get through it. DVC will be sent as soon as this process is complete. Thanks again.

@ Guy:

# post/PM your Uno address.

# as per cragv's advice, (you are '2nd party'), put 'Sent' in the 'Notes/Comments' cell

# yup, 'Hoover.' Our orientation here is seriously long-term. Uno will become scarcer and scarcer and scarcer and scarcer. Now, there are issues of Outside World Is Fixated on Trading-Volume -- but the problem dissipates if the coin is rising in price.

'We' -- that's the TTs here, the DVC community -- intend, in the long run, to be absolutely nothing less than a crossroads through which a major proportion of Uno flows -- 'The Mall' By making the effort to get DVC, you have purchased membership to the crypto equivalent of the Beverley Hills Country Club.

Yes I am like you Mark plenty of time on my hands.I am either on here, in bed (though thats cut down to about 4 hours now) so Crypto is taking over my life now,sad but true.Bye the way if your looking to sell any hoover coins I will buy them if your looking a buyer.Dont want them to get out of our hands.

UNO sent, Hoover like the vacuum I take it? Lol that's an interesting idea, I have no options on un ex to select sent yet as it is under active development

Cheers
Guy

(EDIT: un ex updated already, yay)

@ cragv: wa ha ha -- as usual, you understood the tech better than me!

@ coinmaster222: I'm gonna do it manually, C. Time is the resource I have the most of. (I'm half blind, but I can sorta get on and off and on and off the Net at intervals during the day.)

You only need to put Sent for each party as the Tx. ID can be requested as proof in either case (or indeed the recipient's address can be checked by anyone on the block explorer, if buying/selling cryptos). Thus, I intend on putting a 'Sent' column for both Buyer and Seller (ie. Sent; Y/N) and then the trade can be marked 'Complete'.

This also leaves wiggle room for when a P-WIP is being done (or any other trade where it isn't crypto on both sides of the trade), where both can be marked as 'Sent' but the status wouldn't be changed to Complete until the non-crypto item is received. Will get to this later today (edit. now implemented). Good idea!

so do you do manually or use a bot?? to hoover up

Hey, B.C.! No -- no one can uni-laterally throw the switch on the use of Core-tanium funds.

Project Hoover is a no-profit/maybe tiny profit gig of mine. I am poor, but I have time, so I shall 'hoover' up the Cryptsy bot-bids, which are usually a couple of percent under the mark. Then I shall make up 'Quarters':

if Uno are, say, .0173 on Cryptsy:

.25 divided by .0173 = 14.450 Uno.

Thus, that 'Quarter' will be 14.450 Uno for .25 Btc.

As soon as the .25 Btc 'comes home' to me, it goes back on to the Cryptsy floor.

Results? One: Uno for sale on Un-Ex. Two: a tiny upward pressure on price on Cryptsy.

m

You activating the core-tanium? You go! 

Okay, go us. Everyone please watch from the sidelines, and shout advice.

[Project Hoover? You just scored 14.45 Uno @ .0173 each. They're 199 on Cryptsy at this second.]

Guy, PM me your Uno address, and send .5 Uno to me -- my Uno address is in my signature.

m

not sure what "first refusal of the first quarter of project hoover" is but I want in lol

I am in agreement

See Trade 49

# Someone posts a trade
# Someone accepts that trade
# When the ‘1st Party’ – who put the trade up – receives their coin, they post ‘1st confirmation’ in the ‘Trade Status’ slot
# When the ‘2nd party’ – who accepted the trade – has received THEIR coin, they post ‘2nd confirmation’ in the Notes section on the right (on its left-hand side).

If this all makes sense, I guess we can re-jigger the trade-tricker itself.
(and whoever accepts this trade gets first refusal of the first ‘Quarter’ of Project Hoover).

Thus, as protocol, a trade wouldn't be complete until it has 2 confirmations

I am being a bit dramatic, too. Yes, this is frustrating, but as noted earlier, it's not helped by my only opening it once every month or so. Several updates and a reinstallation this week haven't helped, I'm sure. Hopefully smooth sailing from here, once it's all up to date! It's certainly a technological marvel, the NXT system - it's just the wallet's complexities can be daunting at times. We'll get there.

In defense of the Nxt wallet, Ian and I note that setting up my full Bitcoin client -- 'the Behemoth' -- took nearly two days, and even then Ian had to copy files from his set-up, to 'build' my wallet -- and all that with good Internet speed.

It certainly sharpened our mind to the bloat/light wallet issues!

Hey, Coinaday. One becomes a TT. Then one suffers 'Verification' (of silver bullion held). Then one is 'issued' with DVC, which are traded only here, among those who also own them -- rare, exclusive. (They attract startling premiums!)

Nyan Coin: I am enthusiastic about having other coins traded here. If you want to become a TT, and put up trades for Nyan/Uno . . . go for it!

My collection of wallets is, for various reasons, small -- I won't set up a Nyan wallet. But I am at this second reading up on Nyan. (Good luck with attracting punters to a pre-mined coin here!)

Whatever, you are welcome here as a fellow coin dev! And we will still be choofing along over at R/Doge.

Mark

You must be issued DVC before you can trade DVC. It's not just for the sake of it but because this is a trust-based network. Trust *must* be established before the precious holdings can be traded, remembering that DVC stands for Distributed Vault Coin. We're trading on the back of each other's pledged silver, so each member needs to be vetted before trading can be allowed. It benefits the whole system in this way.

If you decide you'd still like to be part of this grand experiment (and you are very, very welcome!), try reading the About tab on the Trade Tracker for a bit of a 5 minute primer.

Thanks, Mark. Greatly appreciated.

I've reinstalled the client on a dedicated SSD (hours ago, shortly after my last post) and though I preserved the blockchain file, it insisted on downloading all over again. I've upgraded my monthly ISP's data quota because I was about to be capped (slowed) and the blockchain has been downloading all afternoon. It's up to 28/09/2014 19:35:49 (block 245898). ETA tomorrow morning, I suppose. DVC will be incoming at that time. I sincerely, truly, deeply hope. Cheers.

Perhaps I misunderstood.

My impression was DVC was created through the process you're describing (which I intend to do once I can). But right now, I'm not talking about creating a DVC like that. I'm talking about the trading in DVC that happens on these pages. Or is a person only allowed to buy DVC after they're already a trusted trader? Although in that case, since I'm just asking for someone to buy it for me and hold it in escrow anyhow, would that not be possible?

But if I can't buy DVC, then I guess I'll just go back to observing the exchange for now, as I basically feel comfortable with my UNO holdings. I'm not looking to buy another 10-25 UNO right now, and I'd prefer not to sell even 25 UNO for BTC (or anything, really; but the novelty of DVC and getting the first trade for trusted trader is worth it).

I was mostly interested in starting a NYAN/UNO trading pair to go along with giveaways I do to introduce the NYAN community to UNO as a discussion piece for comparison of coins. But since you're not interested in having smaller quantities transactions here, I'll start a small volume market for it on /r/nyancoins.

If anyone did have a large quantity of UNO they wanted to get NYAN for or the other way around, I could handle that. I don't expect it to be an in-demand service anytime soon.

Hey, Coinaday! What a strange day it's been.

It will be a while before you can get your hands on beautiful and rare DVC -- but hey! Start the process.

First, become a Trusted Trader (and it's so cool that I already know you from Reddit!) Post here in the thread (in red) something like:

Trade 001me: will buy 10 Uno for .185 Bitcoin.

I will accept the trade (from a small fund I keep for this purpose). We'll puddle on from there.

And PM sent
