Just a very quick update. I'm in the hospital for at least another week or two but the project goes on. Work is happening so we are very much alive but behind. Just to let you know why I have been silent. Work goes on.

we will host Tor .exit node for you one month

server named freeBogatov or KAction

idea if one server switched off will build 100 more

Run a Tor relay with nickname that contains Bogatov or KAction in solidarity.

Tor activists have launched a flashmob on April 12 and call all Tor relay administrators to run or rename their relays using #freeBogatov or #KAction.

Tor Project website has a guide on how to do it. You can run relay at your home (In that case it recommended to not run an exit relay, but middle relay, that way no negative activity will come from your IP.

You can also limit bandwidth if you don't want to give full bandwidth to the Tor network) or rent a server. Here is a list of hosters tried by activists who are running Tor relays. As for April 18, 45 relays and exit nodes have been launched in solidarity with Dmitry. See here and here to view the lists of relays.

wow, the feces is in the fan over at torcoin.....

What's the recent progress?  It's hard to hear from the dev team. And it's not clear how the project goes on and where the work locates.

It seems a long time from the late update. And they said they may have an update for solving the connection problem (e.g. for Chinese users). But there is not news after more than 1 month.

A bit disappointed, though.

According to the latest roadmap, issued just 3 weeks ago, on May 7, the Tor obfuscation you are talking about should be added by *around* June 18.

Spectre.cash is an Android app which will be able to act as a XSPEC node(*) and the functioning of the app can be thought of in three layers that come together to create the ability to process anonymous cash transfers. This can happen on a purely peer-to-peer basis and no server and no central database or register is needed.

We have a custom designed ‘zero-knowledge proof protocol’ that allows an instance of the app to reveal the number of successful trades it has been involved in, but without disclosing anything about those trades, and also without the possibility of the number of successful trades being falsified. Hence, once an instance of the app has been involved in some number of successful trades the trust rating on the network will increase. This will manifest for the user in the form of some value that we will set. This will be according to an algorithm that will consider a range of factors to counter any attempt to manipulate the trust rating. This allows the intermediaries who facilitate the trade to prove their trustworthiness without revealing anything about their prior trades and without revealing who they are or where they are.

Crucially, no record of the trade will remain anywhere once a trade has been completed. Any record is transient and there is no history. If you are simply a client, there will be no trace on your phone that you have ever transacted. Both a new trade request and any available intermediaries ‘announce’ anonymously through a dynamic Distributed Hash Table (DHT) that will register details of the proposed trade so that clients can find intermediaries and vice-versa. This allows the system to be totally decentralized and lets participants be totally anonymous until they mutually agree to trade within the parameters set in the app by the users. The coins will be locked in a secure escrow until the conditions of the sale has been met. This makes the system extremely resilient to any kind of ‘take down’ attempt or control by any state power. Once it’s out we don’t control it, you don’t control it, nobody does.

thank you gandalf86!

what i meant was http://bitzuma.com/posts/five-ways-to-lose-money-with-bitcoin-change-addresses/

My concern is,when i only back up the wallet.dat from the original wallet and not the one i'm staking with, that my staked coins could be lost, even if i can see the stakes on my orginal wallet...I'm not sure if this can happen, i just want to be sure.Maybe i better back up both wallet.dat files even if they show the same amount
