Agreed both are in infancy but could you elaborate on why both are intrigued by the idea? What possibilities are you looking to achieve? I am genuinely curious by the idea of it too for that matter

I guess somebody wanted out. Perhaps the guy with 2M coins.. So be it.. We've seen some progress on the developmental front, so that is encouraging..

Hi there, Matt from Storj here.
 
Matthew from Crypti shot me an email about a partnership, and both teams were intrigued by the idea. Both of us came to the same conclusion that it would be some time before anything came to fruition as both of our projects are in their infant stages.

Is Storj partnership possibility being explored?

Awesome! If you need any help let us know! These are the kinds of things that will get small transactions flying around, but even small fees add up!

woops, i mean #3, working on a Dice website

Yes, you were super lucky.  I have been up since 2 hours before the release and still have not forged a single block. 

There is not a Proof of Time algo right now.... as  GreXX explained earlier.  The block forging is mostly random with some luck from your ping latency. 

I see, how's it going, how do you contact him? I'll throw him a mail about it too

Working on point #3 in my spare time, though was halted a bit with the network pauze.

Nice, I sent you a DM just now if you didn't see I have some questions which might be a little to OT for thread

I contacted jl777, awaiting response on a few things first before publishing my full view on what XCR stands to gain or lose by joining SuperNet, also I have a possible venture correlating with XCR that may apply to both projects


Today,
#1 Where are we in terms of Poloniex / Cryptsy update?
#2 Mintpal + Bittrex adds?
#3 Gambling sites / other things to spend XCR on & other ideas to spread out coins?
#4 Contact with Lin (BTER)

Yeah I know Mintpal but still if they ever get their shit together it's worth. Surely doesn't hurt being there.
When we get 1% lifted I urge people to start spreading coins around on some exchanges anyway, to get things on a roll.

Boris has already been working on trying to get the blockchain sync working better without requiring you download the version from the site. Right now we are seeing this same problem on some of our tester team who had been on testnet for days with no issues, so it isn't just you. We will post an update as soon as we have a fix available but I will pass on a note to see if they can help you in the meantime.

OK, need some help guys. Using the official crypti guide:

https://github.com/crypti/crypti-docs/blob/master/install.md

Which you guys know I've installed successfully many times. On my linux AWS t2.micro, i've re-installed and ran it many different way and still get the same outcome. I've tried restarting app.js, i've tried deleting logs.log and restarting. deleting blockchain.db, deleting both blockchain and logs. Every time it results in the same thing. When I go to the web wallet I see this screen over and over. The only thing that changes is the block number its on and when it gets to the last one it starts over.



I once saw the login screen briefly but then it went back to the loading screen. Any ideas?

Can someone please update the blockchain.db.zip here?

It was truly luck of the draw. I've read somewhere on here that it goes to the forge that's been up longest. But that can't be true 'cause they would then all go to the main servers on not the forgers out here like you and I. If you have a wallet forging already on say a home PC you may want to consider launching a virtual machine in a cloud service somewhere like Amazon Web Services or digital ocean (there's a lot out there just goolge free cloud servers). They have very high availability and a lot of the micro servers out there are actually free of charge. There are some guides out there on how to get started with those:

Here instead of creating an ubuntu server just choose Windows 2012 R2 Standard instead. Then connect from within your AWS console.

~btw I haven't forged any additional XCR since that first 100 today.

I took out my contact lenses to rest my eyes, I'll do a writeup tomorrow and contact jl777 about it to get the full picture

Mining is accomplished by a computer using its CPU, or GPU cards, or an ASIC unit to receive a block hash which is then run through all possible combinations of an encryption algorithm to get a specified net value, usually X number of zeros front/rear or both.  With the present state of the art and difficulty in most coins, mining is no longer profitable as it consumes more electricity than the value of the mined coins.

Miners also verify transactions that have occurred on the network and earn a small amount of coins for that effort.  A minumum number of transactions and therefore miners are needed to verify a transaction, usually 6 to 60, depending upon the coin.

Forging is using your computer CPU to verify transactions that occur in the network.  This is how coins that cannot be mined have their transactions verified, and keep the network open and running.  The computer that forges (verifies) the block earns a portion of the transaction fee. 

Hey 5000.... could you enlighten me on the latest on SuperNet?  I and the others have been so involved with this coin that we have not paid any attention to the competition.  Either here or in your new BTT thread. TIA

Not sure of the technicalities someone else in here probably more suited to talk about that but I do know that that mining costs serious amounts of $ in terms of hardware, not guaranteed profits and will take a while to recoup your investment, and also unable to compete with others if you lack capital.

Forging in XCR means everybody is equal, it costs about 1000 XCR or about $4.95 per guy (doesnt even really cost them that just requires you have in wallet, they can always sell if they don't wanna forge anymore)


I wonder more about questions such as which network is more safer when we reach X amount of forgers etc how much safer each forgers makes network, thing I know is more forgers the safer healthier network.

I want to make more forgers, for that to happend network needs to have transactions etc, so people earn so in start it might not be as profitable if you don't hit large transactions tho.
That being said, the little forgers it is now it is higher chance of happening, later on when there is more forgers, more fees will be split inbetween so evens out I think.
And with ppl like Litoshi hitting faucets every day, I am sure there are many who don't mind, but in time the network of forgers will see profit.

Bottomline is both are just different ways of keeping the network secure, with forging being in my opinion the superior because more people can feel they contribute, even the lazy also without spending $7000 on rigs.

all this is new for me , have to read a lot of info but all this sounds interesting .

before i am going to read what is the big difference between mining and forging??

i am doing it already btw , lol

Can you please explain more on how you're doing this ? I would like to do the same.

My wallet has forging enabled for almost 2 hours now but nothing forged yet.
