Title: Noir Investment Group : NoirShares
Post by: barwizi on February 14, 2014, 04:05:42 pm
NoirShares is the first hybrid Momentum PoS/PoW crypto. Momentum algo has memory hard qualities which make reduce GPU mining advantages.

(http://s23.postimg.org/4l81ywujv/nrs_v3_final_1.jpg)

The combination momentum Proof of Work with a Proof of stake implementation serves to guard against 51% attacks. 51% attacks are situations where a person or group holds hash power equivalent to 51% or more of total network hash. This allows them to double spend their shares through a first spend then overwritting the valid block chain with their own longer block chain. Proof-of-stake block generation reduces the risk of 51% attacks because the cost of acquiring 51% of all stake would be much higher due to having to buy at least 51% of all shares in existence, that and the cost of acquiring 51% of all mining power makes the cost of attempting and attack prohibitive if not down right imposiible as the price per share will rise as people notice the demand. In some cases other miners and traders will halt sales just to wait out for the highest price, thusly making it even more complicated and nigh impossible to achieve 51% control. In a 51% stake attack the attacker's investment would be directly at risk of losing value. By contrast, with a 51% mining attack on a pure PoW implementation  the attacker would still own the mining hardware which could either be sold or used to mine a different cryptocurrency following the attack.

These measures serve to secure the network also in that users are inclined to keep their nodes online in order to generate stake.

As proof-of-work blocks become less rewarding, coin generation becomes increasingly based on proof-of-stake block generation which in of it's own is energy efficient and requires less resources. Thus protecting the chain from attackers becomes far less expensive.

NoirShares Features and Parameters

Doubles as both currency and equity for the NIG group. 

80 shares per block initially

Per block difficulty adjustment

~ 5 million coins will be produced via PoW
 
5% block reward reduction every 3000 blocks

Minumum Stake age is 7 days, full age 14 days

Tx fees are 0.01 NRS are destroyed in an attempt at aggresively countering inflation due to mining and stake

As the chain progresses and transitions to relying more on PoS blocks, it becomes highly energy efficient in comparison to pure PoW coins. This weaning of reliance on high powered machines encourages the average user to be able to have a functioning node that if used properly can be profitable.

Posts will run concurrently here and on noirbitstalk.org

Details on NRS as a DAC candidate will be posted here and information relative to the Noir Investment group will be posted @  noirbits.org

Why is it called Noirbits 2.0? Is there a 1.0 version, what happened to it?

Why a DAC candidate and why the separate forums?

I think of it as a DAC candidate as it meets the D and C parts, the A part however is not true for the structures being built around it. As a Investment group, the NIG will act as a trunk from which ventures will sprout grow and evolve. Many of the ideas behind this strategy are similar to existing ones, but the implementation is different. The NIG will have a tangible footprint in the world as time progresses through investment into many areas of commerce. While the first few will mostly be crypto-industry linked and related, the hope is to expand beyond the crypto world, and instead of just cycling money between involved parties, the intention is to begin taking active steps to foray into everyday life of the average person.


More details on the workings of the NIG will be available on the noirbitstalk.org forum.

Why is it called Noirbits 2.0? Is there a 1.0 version, what happened to it?

Noirbits was my first attempt at crypto, most of my ideas turned to dust around the advent of multi-pools, the scrypt algorithm made it difficult to operate. NRT and NRB 2.0 where just ideas that i was bouncing around trying to get a feel for implementations, depth and viability. While some concepts were scrapped the accepted ones were merged into NRS, while it can be classified as an alt, it also is set to be the only accepted exchange medium on services that will be deployed once they are ready. As some are aware i have been tossing the idea of seperating crypto-currencies from the Bitcoin peg, to this end there is a serious pursit towards an exchange for NRS PTS MMC 2.0 and similar cryptos that will deal directly in fiat currencies, without need for conversion to BTC.

NRS, PTS and their derivatives are stand alone entities that need not be pegged to the value of BTC, they transcend the run of the mill cryptos in the way they are meant to be for more than P'n'D.
As a show of the dangers of reliance on the established hierachy of exchanges and the cross-conversions required, please look at this chart :-http://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/btce/btcusd  one false statement from Mt gox has turned the BTC Price into a yo-yo.

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2919.0 (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2919.0)

NRS borrows the momentum code and there have been attempts to include a small share for PTS, however as you can see...information is not forth coming on how to include the balances.

AGS has no part in NRS, i was not funded, all my work was done alone with minimal assistance.

Because it hasnt been launched yet, that is probably someone who saw me working on the dev stages and decided to try get a premine in. The official genesis will be uploaded in 7 hours.

yes you do, that chain is invalid. it has incorrect genesis block and does not include the code for adding PTS balances. Once i get an answer to my query, i'm importing the balances and uploading the code.

As someone attempting to claim a bounty on initializing the genesis block and also producing the unspent output list, it seems to me that you should be able to generate the proper initial balances.

Then all you have to do is create a 'spend to many' transaction in the genesis block.   

If you don't know how to initialize it in the genesis block, then simply pre-mine the balance for yourself and issue the transaction in the first block.

funny thing is, i have the balances, and the file keeps fetching and updating it'self. It is rather discouraging though that noone can tell me whether to put or remove a comma....seriously, a comma is the difference at this moment.

anyway, rather than keep bothering myself with no help, i'll follow your advice and send the balances after launch.

Thanks Barwizi...  FYI, the reason I don't have hard answers on how to initialize the genesis block is because I don't know the Bitcoin code base well enough to provide the answers.   In other words, you and FreeTrade are more qualified than I to answer them.   Sure I could probably figure it out, but obviously I have other things to do.

I think sending it in the first block may be the easiest way to instruct people and is just as good.

I have figured it out, but i'll still just send the shares after launch. I can only imagine the pressure you have, good luck. And speaking of the genesis guide, take a look at the latest one and tell me what you think.

Post by: barwizi on February 14, 2014, 09:08:39 pm
What allocation are you doing in the genesis block?

I'll allocate only 1% , i'd like people to actually mine this, rather than depending on their PTS to just accumulate them stake. While it benefits the company to have a wider user base, i'll also need people to make real investment in the ideas and ventures. But since we all seem to be on good terms, NIG will be participating and assisting I3 in all ways possible, including funding mutually beneficial projects.

Again we see the limitations of defining in text what the invisible hand wants.  Seems like so far the invisible hand wants 1% rather than the 10% prescribed.

That is a total of 5% that will be in the hands of the company and developers.

So 1% for dev, 1% for PTS holders and 4% for "company"? what is this company?

As far people offering 1% and preferring to 'mine' it into existence... I just shake my head.   Obviously you are attempting to mirror our business model in some manner and imbuing your coins with additional backing.   Without a 10% honoring we will not be able to back, promote, or otherwise support your coin.

Maybe Barwizi hasn't seen enough value to warrant 10% - What exactly is invictus delivering for that 10 in an investment DAC?

Distributing the initial currency, securing the network, devoting attention to the project.   Quite similar to PTS actually, which seemed to work pretty well for you.

So why is that a bad choice for Barwizi to make?  What is he missing out on by not following your guidance because he doesn't much seem to care.

People mine shares so that they sell them for profit, they expend resources and time in an effort to accumulate the assets which they they divest at a profit.  The assets gain value by miners evaluation of the cost of their mining operation and their expected returns. Mining, and expenditure of resource to gain these shares gives these resources value, this is why PTS was mined, people anticipated that they would earn profits from possession and  trade of PTS. NRS is similar in many ways. My choice to give 1% to PTS is not in anticipation of what I3 builds, but an effort to grow the user base of NRS. People are free to redeem or not to redeem. The "backing" you speak of at 1 % is actually non existent, rather it is the other way round since i am giving basically free "value" to holders of PTS. They have not expended any resources to gain these shares, they are simply a product of goodwill and good business strategy. If NRS was directly interchangeable in the same way provided for PTS then you could say that i have imbued value into the company, but i cant can I?

Backing, promote and support. PTS factors heavily in some of the ideas being developed, but if the community is against us because we refuse to pay 10% homage but 1% then perhaps that support is over-priced. The NIG is not seeking to be the underling but an equal partner which is why i said i look forward to working TOGETHER, not FOR. I've already pointed out that NIG is giving value to PTS holders "free" of charge, the idea is not competition but to cooperate and create a whole new industry.

Quote
Obviously you are attempting to mirror our business model

If you look for NoirBank, you'll find that these ideas were circling my head long before most people knew about I3, i'll admit your implementation has given me many ideas, but i had been thinking in this sphere for quite a while.

In fact NO...i do not agree with the autonomous part which is why you'll find i am creating corporate structures that will govern everything. A Dispersed Liability Decentralized Corporation more like which has both online and real world infrastructure.

What exactly are miners delivering to warrant at 95% cut?

if miners had not taken interest in your ideas and ventures... would you be where you are now?

MINERS are what give every PoW implementation out there value. IF people stopped mining BTC...... which is why every PoW must hit every milestone with precision. PTS is now suffering the effects that struck LTC....it is still pegged to BTC.

One of the aims of the NIG is the remove reliance on BTC, but rather to value PTS/NRS/MMC and any future similar ventures  firstly on fiat directly then gradually self-valuation. This creates a situation where-by the everyday user can buy shares with relative ease. Think of a credit dispenser with the option to buy PTS being available in at least one of twenty cities in the world. While not ideal, it would greatly raise awareness of the company and with it interest. Interest means that if people can buy it easily, funding will start trickling in , which can be used to expand and exedite current projects making them viable in a shorter period of time. As awareness grows, so does flexibilty. At some point they may become more valuable than the fiat and at that time they become self valuing.

My short term goals are 1) increase user base 2) Formalize structures 3) start the exchange

It is up to the Bitshares group whether they choose to work with us or shun us because we have decided that giving them 10% with no solid return on it is asking too much. if yu are not happy with the 1% and feel insulted by it, we can withdraw it.

Part of my reason for even honouring 1% was the great respect i have for your work and ideas bytemaster, however on this issue i think you may want to consider our position.

Barwizi,
   We appreciate the 1% and I have nothing against you only honoring at 1%, but I do have my obligations to AGS and PTS holders to not include your coin in any official manner such as our website, etc.   If we were to confer any special privileges on a coin that didn't honor 10% then it would devalue AGS and PTS while encouraging others to do the same.  MemoryCoin was an example to how PTS honoring was possible.

   I appreciate your goals and certainly will not shun you.  You have been an excellent asset to this community and I hope we can continue to work together.  As your code is mostly based upon non-invictus code you are free do do whatever you think will make your shares most successful.

The one in the source code (https://github.com/Nameshar/NoirShares/blob/master/COPYING), I'd think.

On the topic of mining, I find that whether I hit a block in the first day really colours my appreciation of a coin/commodity/token. ;)

Keep in mind I could have loaded that up with all kinds of code to facilitate wallet stealing, making any mining go right to my address or rm -rf'ing /.  Not that I have, but you totally wouldn't know!  So with this and any other untrusted binaries run them in a well shielded VM or on a computer without important data.

Oh.  I don't know about that.  I didn't see any binaries on the official site.  If the code in the GitHub repo is set to mine to the wrong genesis block then so is the binary I posted earlier, take note.


Edit: On this topic and to people coming from here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=464197.0;all), I think you are getting confused by this -- the NoirShares beta (https://github.com/Nameshar/NRS) (last updated two days ago) and this (https://github.com/Nameshar/NoirShares) (last updated 12 hours ago) which looks a bit less like a beta.

The binary I provided is built off the latter repository.

I'm not affiliated with the project and don't know if my conjecture is right, but that's what I think is happening here.

Thank you, yes you are right. The first was the git used i used to test the functions and build if i was away from my workdesk. I here that some people after hearing my idea went and prematurely started mining before i was ready to post the actual git. lol

Can you please tell me how to use your binary? 7zip is just producing a file that does nothing. Thanks for your effort, i will find a way to pay you well for that.

why not upload the updated executable client to your website, i think nobody can mine on the offical  chain now except yourself.
+1

Here you are (http://rapidshare.com/share/4F24DECF1C746097BAF63C531F3DEADD).

Keep in mind I could have loaded that up with all kinds of code to facilitate wallet stealing, making any mining go right to my address or rm -rf'ing /.  Not that I have, but you totally wouldn't know!  So with this and any other untrusted binaries run them in a well shielded VM or on a computer without important data.


Edit: I don't think it was only two of us mining.
Code: [Select]
    "hashespermin" : 3.97239188,
    "networkhashps" : 2,
If It was, I want one of those computers. :P

i am curious why the official website not update the client after the official chain launch, as the official client is connected to invalid chain now.

What official client, you are the one who went and rummaged through the test repository before i announced launch, when i was ready, i posted the actual git and have provided seed nodes for people to connect to. I am sorry you are confused, but you should have waited for me to post the links first, trying to abuse the public status of the build/test git has a lot of people complaining, it is not my fault that they tried to jump the gun and failed.

AT last check we are at Block 730 and solo mining with my dual core laptop is still hitting blocks. Mining solo is still quite viable for the average 4 core machine, let alone those who pushed the test chain to 7000 blocks over the last two days.

the client downloaded from your official website(http://noirbits.org) is not the official one? the proper way i think the official client in your official website should be updated right after you launch the official chain, but not leave the github source and seed node instead, it is time-consuming to setup the environment and build the client. for the POW coin,the first jump in people is profitable,i think people knows that well.

What allocation are you doing in the genesis block?

I'll allocate only 1% , i'd like people to actually mine this, rather than depending on their PTS to just accumulate them stake. While it benefits the company to have a wider user base, i'll also need people to make real investment in the ideas and ventures. But since we all seem to be on good terms, NIG will be participating and assisting I3 in all ways possible, including funding mutually beneficial projects.

Again we see the limitations of defining in text what the invisible hand wants.  Seems like so far the invisible hand wants 1% rather than the 10% prescribed.

As far people offering 1% and preferring to 'mine' it into existence... I just shake my head.   Obviously you are attempting to mirror our business model in some manner and imbuing your coins with additional backing.   Without a 10% honoring we will not be able to back, promote, or otherwise support your coin.

People mine shares so that they sell them for profit, they expend resources and time in an effort to accumulate the assets which they they divest at a profit.  The assets gain value by miners evaluation of the cost of their mining operation and their expected returns. Mining, and expenditure of resource to gain these shares gives these resources value, this is why PTS was mined, people anticipated that they would earn profits from possession and  trade of PTS. NRS is similar in many ways. My choice to give 1% to PTS is not in anticipation of what I3 builds, but an effort to grow the user base of NRS. People are free to redeem or not to redeem. The "backing" you speak of at 1 % is actually non existent, rather it is the other way round since i am giving basically free "value" to holders of PTS. They have not expended any resources to gain these shares, they are simply a product of goodwill and good business strategy. If NRS was directly interchangeable in the same way provided for PTS then you could say that i have imbued value into the company, but i cant can I?

Backing, promote and support. PTS factors heavily in some of the ideas being developed, but if the community is against us because we refuse to pay 10% homage but 1% then perhaps that support is over-priced. The NIG is not seeking to be the underling but an equal partner which is why i said i look forward to working TOGETHER, not FOR. I've already pointed out that NIG is giving value to PTS holders "free" of charge, the idea is not competition but to cooperate and create a whole new industry.

Quote
Obviously you are attempting to mirror our business model

If you look for NoirBank, you'll find that these ideas were circling my head long before most people knew about I3, i'll admit your implementation has given me many ideas, but i had been thinking in this sphere for quite a while.

In fact NO...i do not agree with the autonomous part which is why you'll find i am creating corporate structures that will govern everything. A Dispersed Liability Decentralized Corporation more like which has both online and real world infrastructure.

I have not read through all of this so let me please first say that this post may be taken down after I read further, but I will say that personally, I intend on interviewing and otherwise running a little show that will honor those devs who honor PTS/AGS holders.  At this juncture, I mine, but very little compared to my initial cloud-mining experience and mostly wish to serve this cause for altruistic reasons.  However, I also understand that if the difference between 10% and 1% honoring in the ultimate money supply is given specifically to miners then I (and all other non-mining investors) are at a significant disadvantage, which means a smaller community.

It is my sincere hope that we do not let these types of things cause more division (ethereum and other similar platforms' devs will not be so divided).  The value is NOT in the faceless units of the currency but in the people who choose to spend just an extra second or two talking about a particular crypto to friends (I want to build a show around it as the community grows).  When that base of people trying to tell people about crypto is primarily consisting of day-traders and big-boy miners...I think it starts to make me wonder why I would want to help the only them instead of an entire community. 

It feels too technocratic...and I've had enough of that in Wall Street.  PTS, if the social consensus is held, can become a cryptocurrency that allows "plebians" in the new technocracy an ability to essentially "mine" their own coins in the company they believe in AND bootstrap that company before it even comes out...

When the Devs who come on board and the Devs with Invictus can come to terms with the consensus that initially brought the entire community along, I think we will have something to talk about.  Personally, though I appreciate everything Barwizi has done for this group, I would not be willing to accept this as falling in line with the Social Consensus I bought into when I started mining/buying PTS and not only does that add more uncertainty to the value of PTS in my eyes (already), but also in NoirShares.  With that said, "value" in this definition is not represented by a main-stream monetary unit NoirShares and BitShares PTS can be converted to, but by human capital and the HUGE spectrum of skillsets and passions that come along with them.  I am passionate, and I know the value of that ;)

Barwizi...it is apparent to me, you are a miner.  I hope you will see the forest for the trees and understand I and other active members of the community will definitely bring value over time.  It will simply require a little leap of faith, a deep breath and the time it takes to rise high enough into the atmosphere to see the entire forest :)

Just my two cents. 


P.S.  Should you change your mind I'd love to chat with you sometime about your ideas and those of any other talent helping you (they deserve recognition and reputation for doing so).  And post it to a youtube channel.  In the vein of recognition and reputation, I would love to chat with you about some of the other projects you have finished that have made the experience of PTS holders much easier regardless your decision.

When the Devs who come on board and the Devs with Invictus can come to terms with the consensus that initially brought the entire community along, I think we will have something to talk about.  Personally, though I appreciate everything Barwizi has done for this group, I would not be willing to accept this as falling in line with the Social Consensus I bought into when I started mining/buying PTS and not only does that add more uncertainty to the value of PTS in my eyes (already), but also in NoirShares.  With that said, "value" in this definition is not represented by a main-stream monetary unit NoirShares and BitShares PTS can be converted to, but by human capital and the HUGE spectrum of skillsets and passions that come along with them.  I am passionate, and I know the value of that ;)

Barwizi...it is apparent to me, you are a miner.  I hope you will see the forest for the trees and understand I and other active members of the community will definitely bring value over time.  It will simply require a little leap of faith, a deep breath and the time it takes to rise high enough into the atmosphere to see the entire forest :)

Just my two cents. 


P.S.  Should you change your mind I'd love to chat with you sometime about your ideas and those of any other talent helping you (they deserve recognition and reputation for doing so).  And post it to a youtube channel.  In the vein of recognition and reputation, I would love to chat with you about some of the other projects you have finished that have made the experience of PTS holders much easier regardless your decision.

The great thing about having the Decentralized corporate structures i am building is that their governed not only by markets but by collective ideas. You see, minting more coinage is a very simple thing, and as i said the group functions on almost similar ideas but with some angles and differences in operation and management. If PTS honoring proves to be worth it's weight in NRS, then i will very  easily houno it in any block i choose (such are the marvels of the code i modifications i made last night)

The value which you speak of in popularity is all fair and fine, but to that i can ask a question, the USD is very popular, but you must expend either energy or resources to gain it, so it is with any measure of value on this planet. To get gold, you gotta get dirty mining and panning for it. The $100 investment you may make on a VPS to mine the coins has an expectation of value return  either when you trade for USD, or when you invest these coins on either termed investment ideas for their dividends. PTs as i said is mainly honored not for "value", but for user base.

I had trouble figuring  out how to honour PTS and by the time i did it was too late. I have the following things on my mind

1) how can you expect people to honour it if there are no clear instructions how?
2) Why not let DACs choose what % value they think PTS/NRS adds to their ideas? I am actually thinking of re--wording my license to reflect my views.
3) Exactly what do DACs stand to gain by being in the PTS shadow? Do you understand the consequences of having notable spendable % of coin in the very beginning? Ask the MMC guys, the economic model of making so much coin available for free in the beginning is flawed. Expenditure of resources to give tangible value and secure networks is the whole point of mining, i think a lot of people underestimate the plethora of ideas that created PoW crypto-currencies. If you understand Macro Economics, Finance, deterministic mathematical models and just human nature, try looking into the code base and see the wonders of thought that were expressed in there. It's a work of art and i at times spend hours reading and trying to understand parts of it to get a true sense of what is being achieved.

Thank you

Oh, and btw, if you offer something like "NoirShares AGS" and we can iron out what exactly all these Crypto"Shares" are about nowadays (hopefully in a 10+ minute chat), I and others might want to donate some PTS so you can fund further development.  ;)

wow, that is actually the first coherent reason i have heard to honour PTS since i launched, you sir may make a fine advocate. The idea is in the works,, but i'd like to confer with open minded people on how to implement, maybe you can be part of the conversation and help us create a free open and auditable fund that will benefit the group, the community and even future DACs

What we ALL want is a system where new DAC developers are incubated to fulfill their potential. Invictus aims to be the first great incubator in this space. Their incubator model has been clarified somewhat in the last week, but it's still at inception, and discussions like this is great to further the development of the model.

I think honoring AGS/PTS now can be understood partly as a bet on Invictus becoming a great incubator. You'll be among the first born, and get immediate attention from all branches attempting to develop the incubator model further. This is still very early stage for everything, and the incubator has had little material to work with so far.

True, true.  You are quite right.

One of the ideas  i will be pushing is to broaden the terms to include entities like mine which dont work with the "A" part of DAC. I plan to work together not just with I3 but with other aspiring DACs or similar ideas. I hold a very strong understanding of the basic code used to distribute these units and have a small side (unpaid, unsponsored ) project that has been producing original works of code for this community, the most recent is NoirShares, a PoW/PoS momentum implementation. Using this knowledge i could help kickstart other DACs on the software side of things.

Rather than people demanding that we just Honour the Consensus, have they considered honouring back our ideas by taking an interest? Even to just poke around and try get a feel for what we are trying to achieve? Thus far the two-liner by fuznuts is the first real show of interest and possible support i have seen from the community.

I will not make demands of anyone, but if we work on our own and produce viable avenues, what is the reason that we should share it by honoring the Consensus, if the grunt work, sweat and tears is localized around those with an interest in NIG but no PTS or AGS holdings? bytemaster has an obligation to protect the investment of PTS holders who expended their resources to help build their platform and development. I also have an obligation to protect the (currently) few who have taken interest i what i am doing. They are expending their resources with faith that over time the ideas driving me and the efforts i am putting towards a profitable venture, the divorce of reliance on BTC  will create tangible value equivalent or greater than their investment.

PTS holders are welcomed with open arms, but not just to collect and go dump the free coins they get, but to take an active interest in the growth, development and expansion of the many ideas , both in development and in cold storage.

without going into details, there are a few who are already asking that i open up the long term investment plans and explain the tier system, however first i would like to deal with the network issues.

Betting on I3 is a good gesture, but any sound business stands on it's own two feet and fights the tides. lol, if i had given up when i spent ~1 full week hashing a genesis block, none of my ideas would be moving forward.....yes i said week, you cannot imagine the number of facepalms that went around when we realized we had left out a ".".

Well...I AM biased, because of how Invictus intended to launch their operation.  There were a few "ethereum" moments in the beginning (especially around the launch of AngelShares), but I have come to really see all of you as a family BECAUSE I felt like even though my skills in creating cryptocurrency were not to the level required, I could still contribute to something better.  Don't know about you, but I haven't had that feeling since the beginnings of Bitcoin.  That is precisely why I am here...and thank you for appreciating :)

This is the reason developers are usually in he backend of most companies and don't deal with customers (see the movie Officespace  ;D).  You guys don't design things to make it easy for the general population.  If we want crypto to go mainstream this has to change or it will just stay buried in it's own underworld.   :-\ :'( :-[ ??? :o :( >:(

Can we move this thread to its own child board parallel to MemoryCoin with the default option set to not include posts in the unread posts?  It is clear that this will generate a lot of forum traffic just like MemoryCoin did.   Lets leave the Alternative DACs thread for pending ideas and not launched coins.

Well this is confusing as hell. I went to the forum in the main post and checked out a pool and not entirely sure its the right coin Noirbits as it diff is 8 and blocks mined already over 100k.

Very confusing and everything is all over the place with this new coin. Sorry barwizi but I have no idea if this coin is new or is it Norbit coin.

You should of prepared everything and just launched instead of doing these silly "PRE-ANN" that seems to be going on alot more now and having awful launches. Guessing diff started at 0 so some lucky miners instamined couple of dozen blocks.

Noirshares=fail...this thread should be move to bitcointalk now.

Back to PTS...

Let's remember the only way for these things to fail is if they fail to get strong public buy-in and/or have Devs only concerned with getting rich with no real product or service. 

As for the Pre-ANN, this is another reason why I would like to help offer another format.  Pre-announcements are great for transparency purposes...the only issue is that pre-announcements serve to inform the special interests who have grown into this space because they either have large mining operations or know someone who does. 

This is why I love the PTS social consensus...because it opens this up more to a larger user base.  This is something BitShares PTS has over competitors...if it is upheld. 

@barwizi, thanks for everything you have done man...please feel free to let me know what you figure out.

Goodmorning all, i will take time to respond to everything very soon. I just woke up and would like to spend a few hours proof reading some of the draft documents that will be the basis of this venture. They are termed draft since i would require feedback from interested parties and adjust accordingly before they become permanent. As to the move from Alt DACs to Off topic, i'll also respond to that in detail. Give me a few hours and i'll get back to you. if you need urgent assistance, i'll check my skype for questions when i am not typing and correcting name : barwizi

As for issues with wallets and mining, please use the work around provided, I will dedicate my full attention to that issue immediately after posting the draft documents. I believe that your interest in mining will be best responded to by bettering your experience and also explaining in detail why this crypto-equity is different from others.

First to come will be the Risk Assessment document, while written by a non professional , i have tried to outline what the risks involved with the venture. Next will be a current Cost/Benefit Analysis that takes into account the current situation, visible activity and expected growth/decline. I have chosen to operate in this way as it serves to present the open nature of the NIG venture, while decentralized, it must still have visible structures and policies that are followed and maintained.

No 10% to AGS/PTS? Your reasons for not doing this are bad IMO, it seems like you're missing the whole points of protoshares.

As a result I for one am not interested in this project, but I wish you guys luck!

It's new, you can treat it as a coin but we think of it as equity. LOL, i am not dubious enough to actually let people start at difficulty zero, please check before you say such things, thanks.

Wow nice!



Barwizi i really like the efforts you contributed to III ecosystem. But as the social contract isn't complied with this launch, i can't participate anymore an NRS!
One thing should be said. Its not my personal point of view, i like you and the work you have done so far. But iam a proud member of III community and if i must decide, iam on this train!
I wish you success with your new project and good luck. Perhaps their is a way to get III and NRS together again. We should work and grow together... It would a great pleasure if i see you dudes on same round table again.

Good luck with NRS - Keep in touch

I want III to justify PTS holders 10% stake in NRS and make it clear what benefits NIG will gain from this.

Because from an economic point of view i can tell you this, it is not sustainable for a crypto-equity to have 10% of it's total in circulation right at the beginning. WHY? Because for the equity to gain a price people need to work for it and take it to market, where they will meet with buyers and agree on a price. If i gave a literal free 10% to PTS holders, most would not cherish it and sell it at any random price because they have not expended any resource to acquire them, they are free. Please look at how MMC performed at Market due to an excess of available units at inception.

While you figure that out, plese keep in mind that PTS is entitling someone to a share in NRS, but is NRS entitling someone to PTS?

If you guys can think on this, prove it and give me an acceptable response i will acquiesce. You know i've worked with you guys on a lot of stuff, so now, if you can prove to me that your economic model is viable and will not always end up in the massive dumping witnessed at MMC due to excessive units and no resources expended, i will honour it in the very next block.

The snap shot is there and the funds are in stasis. the actual transaction should take less than a minute to create. otherwise all PTS holders will wait the accorded time when NRS reaches  3% public units for their 3% minus 1.5% ( in protest of our being moved to the off topic section).

Invest in NRS beacuse it is a decentalized risk/profit enterprise. What make it s crypto-equity is because it seeks to have self valuation beyond current scope of the average crypto. It is a crypto-equity because an invested unit will represent a stake in all and all activities NIG partakes and is a legitimate pfoof of your share of the profits/risks in any and all ventures. An invested unit also represents your existence as a share holder and entitles you to a say in what ventures are pursued, to what extend. The terms of operation and who becomes the leading figure, that includes even firing me for incompetence. in fact if the PTS collective had gotten all those shares in the beginning they would have the power right now to fire me. 

What service does it provide?

The very first venture being pursued is an exchange that allows NRS/NRB holders to trade directly in USD. PTS is meant to be part of this venture, but until we solve our diffrences, their tab will remain greyed out.

actually wolves may hunt together but they fight over the food.

see, that is the thing, all i get are demands for 10% but no clear reason why. This exercise brings forward many of the questions that where asked as we crafted the Social Consensus Software License, read the bounty thread. I am all for giving PTS holders a stake, but i'd like to hear them justify it. If i subtract the 3 or 4 active holders who are assisting me and advising me what other assistance has the PTS holding group offered? If only you knew the hell i went through to get that code to even produce a single hash with no help.

Wait, what? Totally disagree, are you saying BTS X is going to fail because they are all available to start? I think bytemaster should chime in because he is better at explaining this concepts than me, but "for the equity to gain a price people need to work for it and take it to market" is not true at all.

Another point: If your coin has such a small starting network that the first 10% get mined by a very small number of people then that's no different from having started X months later with 10% distributed to this individuals at genesis...

When a wolfpack work together hunting, each has different roles. Same is true within a crypto ecosystem.

it a wild world out there.

10% is what the pack offers, you should leave it if you don't feel love in the air ....
see, that is the thing, all i get are demands for 10% but no clear reason why. This exercise brings forward many of the questions that where asked as we crafted the Social Consensus Software License, read the bounty thread. I am all for giving PTS holders a stake, but i'd like to hear them justify it.

Dude, I think you are completely misunderstanding the purpose of PTS and what value PTS holders provide.

I finally figured it out but it was too late, launch time had passed. However if you read my response to Stan and III comes up with a good response, I'll tell you which wallet version to download that will give you your NRS.

This is not a good reason, in fact this just lowers confidence in your venture...

You'll find that even bytemaster agreed that this is an issue. however i have figured it out and once i get the time, i will add it to NRS code template and PTS code template so that anyone who wishes to use it will not go through what i did.

I hope you can answer my questions clearly, what is the exact benefit for NRS miner X when i give PTS holder Y free shares? If the issue was give 10% to the DAC development fund, it would be instantaneous, i would know that this is going to help other DACs. But the feeling i am getting here is give 10% share to PTS holders, shares that NRS miners are struggling to mine.

Tell me the tangible benefits to this issue and then tell me what assurances NIG has that PTS holders will not repeat the massive dumping that was done on MMC. Too many units existed in the beginning, that resulted in dumping. Bitshares X is funded by PTS which has a steady value and BTC, so you cannot seriously try to use it as an example.

Simply speaking it would give you the sympathy and support and continued attention of PTS/AGS holders.

Thank you for your honesty. That is an actual reason given clearly that i can use to justify PTS holders having a stake. 

what surprises me is that people keep dodging the fact that your PTS equal only 1%  MMC. I had even reached a point of 3% before we were moved to the off topic section. I chose to work together with III but i end up off-topic yet their actual competitors like Ethereum get child boards. wow.  :o

The value PTS holders provide is a massive network of knowledgeable early adopters. It makes the difference between 3 people working on your ecosystem and 50 people working. Read this thread to see just how many people with the relevant skills and interests are choosing not to work on this venture because you are not honoring the PTS social contract.

Putting work into something does not automatically give it value. If that were true, I could make "burn&mine coin" which you have to both burn BTC *and* do proof-of-work and they should automatically have value because I put time and money into it!

Tangible benefits discussed above. To your second point

* So you expect DAC enthusiasts and early adopters to be more likely to dump than miners? Miners HAVE to dump to make a profit from their mining.
* "dumping" is just price discovery - if people are willing to sell at price X that means those people think it is worth X.
* MMC honored only about 1% which means that there were more mined coins than premined coins after just a few days!

you toast have 1000 PTS, NRS holder has 1000k, he mined to show support, you did not. There is no way i will give you 100 NRS, i had planned to give you 30, why? because with that 30, you would have a small interest in what i am doing, as a result you'd check in once in a while. later when you see the developments and choose to want in, you'll either mine, or buy-in. But if i gave you 100 NRS, you would already have enough to invest without even expending a single resource. meaning the dividends due to those shares are all free, not a single addition of value from you.

This topic should not be  here in the first place. NOT complying to I3's 10% DAC provision in PTS/AGS model. There is an attempt to devalue DACs. No downloadable win 32/64 wallet during launch . Adhere to the DACs principle. Not to bend on what was laid out .

NIG is not a subsidiary of III, we intended to work TOGETHER not FOR. If we give value to PTS, what value will PTS give to NRS?

Invictus views itself as a "subsidiary" -- we work for PTS/AGS holders.
Peers who want to work with us therefore work for them.

 :)

I am an investor in PTS and AGS because, being a technically challenged senior, I have to go with my gut feelings as to the vision behind what I am investing in (which is to me as important or more so than the profit potential). I am in full harmony with the social vision and actions of Invictus. While others have expressed gratitude for the contribution you have made until recently to that vision, I am of the opinion that your present activity is parasitic to it.

I will not be an investor in your project unless and until it cosmplies with the Social Contract.

This thread and your project attempt to drain developmental and financial energy from the host to the parasite.

I think you're putting the cart before the horse. The miners do not show support, they just mine and sell - they do not contribute to the ecosystem except for contributing to network security and the value of that drops over time with PoS coin.

On the other hand, If I have more NRS then I am more committed to seeing them increase in value. I didn't even bother claiming any MMC because of how little I got per PTS, but I will be all over developing stuff for BTS because I stand to gain from BTS gaining value. With that in mind I will be passing on this venture because I stand to gain almost nothing from putting in my time and effort.

Right now NRS have no value, but by getting people interested in the idea you could have them help you give NRS value by developing concrete value propositions for shareholders. The miners will not give NRS value, most will just sell as long as it is profitable for them to mine and then stop mining.

I think it will be clearer if you realize that what you are doing is totally equivalent to making something like Protoshares 2.0 and then awarding 10% NRS premine according to PTS 2.0 holdings at the date at which NRS would have naturally had 10%. Doesn't that seem strictly worse? Do you have such high confidence that you will succeed without the larger network that you are willing to trade that advantage for a bigger fraction of coins for your early miners?

This is actually an outstanding opportunity to perform a scientific experiment, rather than arguing about it.

Why doesn't barwizi launch a second identical chain as his own NoirShares competitor?  Let the competing chain follow the Ten Natural Laws of the Crypto Universe for fair ethical competition and see which of the two chains gains the most traction!

The 10 Natural Laws of the Crypto Universe (http://The 10 Natural Laws of the Crypto Universe)

I suppose anybody could play the role of the honorable competitor, but it would be best if barwizi did it for the following reasons:
1.  It would eliminate making the experiment something personal.
2.  Barwizi wins either way and is thus rewarded for his hard work.
3.  It would compare apples to apples since the business models would be identical - testing whether the Ten Natural Laws really matter.

What would such an experiment look like?  Let’s take a look.

Since I don’t want to presume that barwizi would actually be interested in being his own competitor, let’s postulate that another hypothetical entrepreneur named Macarena suddenly appears on the scene.  Macarena likes some of barwizi’s ideas, but notes that he’s neglected to consider most of the Ten Natural Laws in his approach.  He’s left himself wide open to competition and it might as well be her!

She decides to compete honorably according to the Ten Laws already widely accepted by the industry.  Barwizi has already released his software as open source according to Law 1 and all the altcoins of Bitcoin have long established the precedent that it is ethical to clone barwizi’s code according to Law 2.   We'll presume that barwizi's idea is great, so according to Law 3 it will ultimately cloned by many.

According to Law 4, she decides to give it a better name than NoirShares 2.0, so she unimaginatively picks NoirShares 3.0.
According to Law 5, she gives it a better algorithm - she uses BitShares-X so she can avoid wasteful mining.
According to Law 6, she appeals to PTS/AGS shareholders instead of those who are stuck on mining.  She gives them each 40% and reserves the last 20% to be sold as her own AGS to fund her specific development plans.
According to Law 7, she directs transaction fees to shareholders instead of unneeded miners, making NoirShares 3.0 more profitable.
According to Law 8, she then lets her 3.0 compete with barwizi's 2.0 in the free market.  She has been careful not to leave any room for someone else to introduce a 4.0 that could leave her in the dust. (Although perhaps someone could forego that last 20% she has reserved to raise funds for her development.)  She calculates that a 3.0 version supported by someone who has some development funds will be more competitive than a 4.0 version with no supporting war chest, and decides she has picked the optimum mix.  The invisible hand of the market will decide if she has chosen well.

Law 9 says she needs to attract the biggest crowd, so she asks Invictus for support she has earned.  She is suddenly featured in interviews with bytemaster and ads placed everywhere by Brian Page. She sets up her own version of AGS for 3.0 and because she has the backing of Invictus as an escrow agent people are more willing to trust her with donations that help her grow features faster than 2.0 can.

Further, she is now getting help forming a real company that she owns according to the ideas of the February Invictus newsletter.  She becomes a full fledged development company with the horsepower and reputation to launch even more DACs as time goes by.

Law 10 gives her the network effect and before long she becomes the standard for all things Noir.

Sure would be an interesting experiment, no?   ;)

"Free" and "already payed for" are not the same thing.

Honoring the social consensus, in my opinion, is not about getting people to help you write your code as much as it is about building the network effect.  As is obvious looking at the list of failcoins, building network effect is much more difficult than just writing the code.  By honoring the social consensus, you invite this community (as one of the largest and most qualified cryptoequity and DAC communities in existence) to judge your product.  If they think it's worthless, they'll certainly dump it.  If not, even those who don't help code it will use it, and will relay word of its merit to those around them.

If you're more optimistic about having your product evaluated by a less knowledgeable group, that's entirely up to you.

There is never a choice between PTS and NRS, you either invest in PTS pre-launch or NRS after launch.
Plus it's not like NRS is going directly to funding development... unless you're saying you happen to have a large premine and will be doing the selling?

I mine a lot script coins but sold them all, this is because the most profitable coins at the time usually were not the one I'm interested in.  (I'm a very selective altcoin investor, and usually prefer buying vs mining when it comes to investing)

With the growing number of switching-pools such as middlecoin, miners/hashing power can be a force killing your coin, or render it unstable. Loyalty-via-mining has become a thing in the past. 

As a PTS holder, I got MMC when it launched, I imported my priv keys and glad to see quite a few coins there. I could have sold them all but I decided not to, partially because its affiliation w/ PTS. I didn't buy any MMC either, because I didn't see any special value proposition coming from this altcoin. Subconsciously I do wish it succeed because of the stake I own. 

IMO, the number of DACs under BTS is not as important as the quality/usefulness of them. We need some killer DAC apps, not YAACs (Yet-Another-Alt-Coin)   ;)

Honestly, these NoirShares are make no economic sense as a DAC but are in fact a means of duplicating the business model of Invictus.   I think the issue with share allocation is no ones business but your own as you are the creator of this coin.  As the creator you own 100% of the shares and may allocate them as you wish.

The issue comes down to how you plan to give them value.   Instead of learning from Invictus and the history of PTS which absent AGS would have likely failed miserably, you have attempted to repeat the process. 

Here is what you have overlooked, the people who you really gave your shares to were the power companies, cloud computing and mining pools.   The miners still have to pay for the shares they get with time and energy and thus ultimately do not get something for nothing.   These companies take their profit without benefiting your efforts at all, meanwhile your share holders are left holding something with no capital behind it.  A mere receipt of capital consumed as if that entitled them to consume more capital in the future. 

So the question of why should you honor PTS / AGS holders is because we can provide just as much benefit to you as the miners do without consuming our resources mining which means that we can then use the resources that we might have spent on mining actually helping your DAC to succeed.   Instead you must ask miners to first spend time and energy mining AND THEN also help you succeed.   From an economics perspective, which is more efficient and likely to help you grow?

You could have gone the 10/10 and still mined 80% but apparently the marginal utility of honoring the power companies with an extra 16% was perceived as greater than the marginal utility of honoring AGS/PTS holders with 2000% more.    A choice that does not make sense to me. 

Obviously it is too late now, but I am participating in this discussion because it is illustrative for future DAC creators.

So the question of why should you honor PTS / AGS holders is because we can provide just as much benefit to you as the miners do without consuming our resources mining which means that we can then use the resources that we might have spent on mining actually helping your DAC to succeed.   Instead you must ask miners to first spend time and energy mining AND THEN also help you succeed.   From an economics perspective, which is more efficient and likely to help you grow?

You could have gone the 10/10 and still mined 80% but apparently the marginal utility of honoring the power companies with an extra 16% was perceived as greater than the marginal utility of honoring AGS/PTS holders with 2000% more.    A choice that does not make sense to me. 

Obviously it is too late now, but I am participating in this discussion because it is illustrative for future DAC creators.

It is too late for me to give 10% which still hasn't been really justified. Either way what you say make sense, however if 3% is not enough, then it is unfortunate. While there will be a Fund, i am focusing on defining structures first before the fund, why.. because i think that people need to understand what it is i am planning and how their investment will be applied to produce profit. If i try to "cow-boy" it , it will seem undisciplined  and confidence will wane.

need someone to test updated git code by importing their PTS private key and tell me if it is accepted, then you tell me your addy and i see if you receive or not.  everything is working right i think.

Tell me the tangible benefits to this issue and then tell me what assurances NIG has that PTS holders will not repeat the massive dumping that was done on MMC. Too many units existed in the beginning, that resulted in dumping. Bitshares X is funded by PTS which has a steady value and BTC, so you cannot seriously try to use it as an example.

"Rome wasn't built in a day"

Just want to let you know I have been trying to get into talks with MMC's people to interview them and have a sit-down, two, three with the community.  I will like to attempt this with every new "DAC" that honors the social consensus in some way so I can help to grow the community and build a channel to help bridge the gap between Crypto-Devs and the Community.  It would be nice to help Devs get face-time with (potential) community members so they can gain a higher level of trust among the entire crypto-network. 

At first, ONE crypto-equity is going to rise above the pack.  BitShares has the potential if this social consensus is adhered to, or some other (NoirShares?).  I do not care which one, but I know one thing...it will not have a divided group of Devs trying to pull the social consensus in multiple directions will fragment movement in ANY helpful direction. 

As I see it, BitCoin largely grew because of Litecoin helping to open up a user-base who didn't yet understand the tech (and were not first adopters) to become "second adopters".  This broadens the user base and opens it up to more people.  So with that said, I am all for honest competition between Crypto Equities, but see the need for social-consensus-honoring services as well.  Using NoirBits as a means for purchasing NoirShares is similar to PTS funding model, but this is open source soooo if you are writing the code but just using the funding model then sure... 

Regardless, with NoirShares, I am starting to read that it does not use Invictus Code and as such is not expecting support from our community.  As such, I say go for it Barwizi.  It is a big loss to the community to see you with your efforts put elsewhere and I will be sad to see you go, but it is what it is and a project like NoirShares will be a full-time job.

With all this said, however, I am beginning to wonder if certain other platforms with so much BitCoin momentum are not going to blow all these fragmented attempts at crypto-equities away.  Remember this, they have many hardcore BTC Devs behind them and are riding on the coat-tails of that to keep hype up for their product.  I really do not know how any other crypto-equities are going to stand a chance without a pooling of community-members to create a similar project to what is occurring with them.  One crypto-equity will hold a competition to get the best algorithm from some of the brightest minds, and will likely hire all of them afterwards.  THIS IS HOW you get Devs to sign-on for the long haul.  They need to believe that if they do not, their chances are far worse for succeeding. 

Sincerely hope the people from both Invictus and NoirShares are listening on the last point. 


(P.S.  If you are looking for utility, give PTS holders the NoirShares, but create an "AngelShares Noir" fund where PTS/BTC/NoirBits are all accepted...this way miners know that at least a portion of the shares they mine will have a higher chance of becoming valuable and will not be subject to quick sell-off--i.e. devaluation.  Invictus' model was an attempt to help set a standard so there were not 1000 pump-and-dump altcoins like BitCoin had.  Though miners love it and get rich quick, it doesn't help society or the community--and worse incentivizes the public to BEG for regulation in the "mining" industry)

Though some of my attention is now divided, i still am an active member of PTS community and III knows i am not going anywhere. My discoveries, ideas and innovations are for the group as a whole, they may be snubbing us here but we are still a part of this. Some have as much as 5000 PTS that was bought in anticipation of BTSX, my own PTS holdings are nothing to scoff at either. It should be noted that after i created the PoS/PoW Momentum code, i made it available to bytemaster. All my work will be shared with III without exception, if we can deal with our differences, i believe we can start attacking some of the issues that we will face.

NIG is not in a hurry, as proven by my not opening investment options before all the structures are in place. The Noir Fund  is already being tested but there are some security concerns that i want to deal with first before making it public. As it is meant to promote decentralization, some areas need ingenuity and innovation. for me it's easier coded than said.

With regard to factionalism, it does not exist. We may have brought in many new players, but quite a sizeable chunk of shares are in the hands of PTS holders already. And after a while when things pick up, there will be a lot of cross-investing as some of the ideas from both parties will work hand in hand.

Bahh, so can't claim with my PTS then ... :(

Anyways, tried mining with the windows wallet and got 2.5 hashes. Got a feeling its not working properly. Will put a second processor (and possibly another) once we get a proper one.

hm...I am wondering if you should have given the 10% and then afterward said "I would like to give PTS owners the ability to donate NoirBits, NoirShares, BitShares, Keyhotee Points, and MemoryCoin for our AngelShare fund"

I hate to say it, but it just feels like it makes sense...because it creates a sort of feedback loop wherein the social concensus actually benefits new devs with a free-market approach AND the entire community.

Just can't think of a better way to reinforce the value for all parties...which also means Devs have a vested interest in the value of each other's currencies because the richer the entire community, the more wealth, Devs with other cryptos could do the exact same thing...

This would make Bytemaster and friends happy because PTS will be the first mover on that level and as such will have a significant advantage that diminishes over time and evens out naturally as more competition enters the system.  This would also give communities incentive to port bounties amongst each other. 

Sorry for posting this as I know this is a hard topic to work on...and obviously a sore spot for different parties (especially for investors!!! :O), but this seems to be something you could do even without giving the 10%...just not sure how much the community will want to invest PTS into NoirAngelShares without it offering them an act of good will first.  I mean, if I were rich I certainly would...and might be able to put a BTC in over time, but I would do so feeling more like either PTS or NIG is going to destroy the other as opposed to forming a symbiotic form of competitive relationship...

I guess with that said, ByteMaster should have tried to accept MMC in addition to PTS for AngelShares...but I think it might be too late for that (and, personally, that is ok with me because we are still experimenting and I trust their intentions).  It certainly would add value to MMC though...and incentivize their people to work more to the benefit of PTS because their fates would be more intertwined. 

just some thoughts.  take them or toss them...but I hope these words make their way to you and are considered moving forward, regardless what you do ;)

This would help to divert the constant trading of altcoins back into bitcoin and would provide the liquidity "stolen" from the Bitcoin ecosystem and spread it across the consensus-adopting Devs/Communities.  Those who complain about devaluation of their PTS for this would be gaining value from the 10% stake they get in the next blockchain/crypto...and better yet, it would provide liquidity for all involved over time.  Once Devs from other altcoins start realizing this (especially those for services like GameCoin, SexCoin, DevCoin...etc) would likely start pouring in trying to do the same.  But the initial movers would gain the most over time from this move (for an example...look at litecoin. 


But like I said, these are only my thoughts.  I would be glad to hear other opinions.

Though some of my attention is now divided, i still am an active member of PTS community and III knows i am not going anywhere. My discoveries, ideas and innovations are for the group as a whole, they may be snubbing us here but we are still a part of this. Some have as much as 5000 PTS that was bought in anticipation of BTSX, my own PTS holdings are nothing to scoff at either. It should be noted that after i created the PoS/PoW Momentum code, i made it available to bytemaster. All my work will be shared with III without exception, if we can deal with our differences, i believe we can start attacking some of the issues that we will face.

NIG is not in a hurry, as proven by my not opening investment options before all the structures are in place. The Noir Fund  is already being tested but there are some security concerns that i want to deal with first before making it public. As it is meant to promote decentralization, some areas need ingenuity and innovation. for me it's easier coded than said.

With regard to factionalism, it does not exist. We may have brought in many new players, but quite a sizeable chunk of shares are in the hands of PTS holders already. And after a while when things pick up, there will be a lot of cross-investing as some of the ideas from both parties will work hand in hand.

Great Points...

Can you just sell NoirShares for protoshares at a discount?  Instead of giving PTS holders something for nothing, you could give them  2x of what you'll charge for with Bitcoin.  Then you're supporting the PTS ecosystem (offering a premium over current market valuations because you believe in the long/short term potential) and especially right now becoming further vested in the Bitshares ecosystem since PTs are quite valuable until the 28th of Feb

The next update of the client is confirmed to be importing PTS addresses. So... i've decided to discard the old snapshot, if you wish for NoirShares.... i suggest you transfer your PTS to your local client, we will take a new snapshot in 12 hours. We cannot extend the date any further due to time constraints.

This sounds like a great idea.  However, I am curious--wouldn't one just wait until after Feb 28th to use them to buy NoirShares?  At that juncture, unless there was a market mechanism like AngelShares has (fixed amount released daily, % awarded based on finite supply against an uncapped investment amount), might there be issues with buying up NoirShares for nothing...

Of course, on the opposite end, I suppose being able to use them for NoirShares after Feb 28th could also help stabalize the price of PTS after the "snapshot" is taken and keep it from dropping too much since PTS would still be used to purchase another crypto-equity that is being worked on by a trusted Dev. 

I really feel you Barwizi...this is something worth a big community discussion.  It is surprising so few of the community are posting their opinions on this.  Thanks for participating Adam...good to hear another's voice in this echo chamber ;)

This offers an interesting situation which will ultimately decide if III's model for PTS is viable and will not result in the  dump phenomenon i spoke of. MMC had too many units, PTS has not had much infrastructure developed out of DAC  use only, meaning the money has a small circle. We have already begun approaching developers on various platforms trying to create uses for NRS that will stimulate value and interest. Most of the information will be made available on Friday when we release the weekly report.

NEW SNAPSHOT FOR PTS HOLDERS IN approx. 5 hours

Has it started, or when will it start from now?

Does it honour PTS? If yes, has the snapshot been taken? I have to withdraw from exchange if not.

Safest and best place for storing your PTS is local wallet or paperwallet ..

edit: snapshot has been taken on launch

Bahh, so can't claim with my PTS then ... :(

If you were really a Noirbits holder, you had over two months to join the discussion over how to move forward.

My opinion is that you are a sour individual who wanted to cash in early and get rich quick without putting any effort. such shallow thinking is not viable in the crypto equity area. You could have simply asked for NRS instead you wish to throw accusations in my face, doesnt say nuch for your motivations. NRB will have it's platform and if you are unhappy that is has been seperated from NRS then you do not share my vision. Lol, have you tried contacting me?  I seem to post  skype name every few days, no word from you. Get past what ever problems you are having and choose what you wish to do. If you do not believe NRB are worth holding, then noone will force you to. However, you have snubbed NRB,NRS and PTS in one post, which leaves me wondering if you even understand the ideas here.

NRB== CRYTPTOCOIN
NRS== CRYPTOCOIN/EQUITY

they serve different purposes and will have different platforms.

*memorycoin is not a failure, it was simply over valued at launch and is now approaching it's rightful price. If you actually checked you'd see there is a lot of developments in that area.
*Your wish to move to Ethereum is clearly not because you understand the mechanics in these ventures, you are simply looking for a short cut.

http://noirbitstalk.org/index.php?topic=13.0 (http://noirbitstalk.org/index.php?topic=13.0)

check the dates, have you wondered why things changed?

Hi!

I just registered and am trying to understand what the exact value of the NRBs is that I am just holding? You already said it is at first the only currency accepted by Noirbank. What happens to NRBs if that changes? Does it still make sense to hold and buy even more NRB?

NRB is the crypto currency of choice for anything i develop, so their value at the moment is what you see on Cryptsy. But, when the infrastructure is in place and NRS is publicly available, NRB will be the currency we accept for transactions and deposits. This means to use any service offred, you need NRB...the price will rise.


So, NoirBank has been put on a back vurner until there is enough infrastructure to warrant a bank......what does that platform have to do with this one? If you understand the difference.

NRB== CRYTPTOCOIN

they serve different purposes and will have different platforms.

Also with mining NRS i was busy for a week now so it's not about getting rich quick which i cannot say about how you do your things :)

this crypto culture is based on transparancy and the only thing i see with this is a big mess on communication with details somewhere hidden in a off topic part of the bitshares forum.

So basicly you are waving your promises away for noirbits holders and giving the import to PTS holders?

Also looks like PTS is in a big pump.

Really time to leave this one far behind as i know how horrible your support was for NoirBits.

That people still fall for this stuff...

If you were really a Noirbits holder, you had over two months to join the discussion over how to move forward. If you were really a long time supporter of Noirbits, you'd remember that against my advice, people went with  a fork made by an over enthusiastic pool owner and they ended up being left in the dirt. Rather than be sensitive and hurt, i took it back and added it to my plans.


i am building a platform for it to grow far beyond that. If you impatient, then by all means, help us gather resources to pay for the development of the exchange.

What discussion? The discussion where you never gave answers but made fake promises to Noirbits holders by given them noirshares by holding noribits? Do we really have to quote yourself? There was no discussion possible with you if you never give a proper answer.

To bad that protoshares is involved with this after the failure of memorycoin. Time to sell my BTC AGS key and put my money ethereum. Looks like bitcloud didn't leave this ship without sense

My opinion is that you are a sour individual who wanted to cash in early and get rich quick without putting any effort. such shallow thinking is not viable in the crypto equity area. You could have simply asked for NRS instead you wish to throw accusations in my face, doesnt say nuch for your motivations. NRB will have it's platform and if you are unhappy that is has been seperated from NRS then you do not share my vision.

There was never ever mentioned anything about PTS, you are such a douche barwizi. Good luck with your NRS

Really sucks how miscommunication and lack of available resources can screw with someone's opinion of another person.  I can honestly say Barwizi has really thought about both sides (I have actually argued for both sides with him behind the sidelines).  He actually DOES listen (when he is not working for 48 hours straight) and try to respond from what I have seen on this forum. 

I am not a former Noirbits holder, so its hard for me to fully understand the reasons for your sour attitude...but if it is safe to say we are all fallible, then it is also safe to say that you will get further by trying to constructively express your points of view.  Remember, though, ALL of this is an experiment (that seems to be working btw) and might blow away in the wind tomorrow.  On top of that, there are real threats that exist to keeping these ecosystems free and healthy.

So when we really look at it, we need to remember that the COMMUNITY is our only way to make this work...and dividing ourselves needlessly seems counter to the best interests of ALL. 

@Barwizi, I do not know exactly the reason why this guy is pissed, but it seems like it has something to do with Noirbits no longer being supported by you?  If this is the case, have you ever thought about allowing people to buy Noir-AngelShares with their Noirbits?  I know it would sadden me if invictus stopped supporting PTS and moved over to an honest Ethereum Clone (without Goldman Sachs involvement) and simply "forgot" about me.  However, I am also well aware that Invictus knows that they will no longer have my support if they ever abandon their community. 

Regardless...lets kick this stuff around like intelligent, respectful  people.  Trust me I've been a dick before in a heated conversation...but I can honestly say it never helps the outcome.  :)

No no no, no way in hell do i leave NRB behind. that is why i was also getting sour, NRB is a cypto with non-unique proprties, so it was decided that it would remain that, a currency. It has it's own platform including use in NoirEx and NoirStore. The chain is functional and needs little maintenance at the moment which is why it is not front page. The last week has been about figuring out the issue with the NRS chain and getting a solo miner for windows users. All the NRB users that read my posts know that NRB will ride the coattails of NRS success. NRB cannot be used as equity nor can it be used as a funding platform because of the issues scrypt clones are facing. It is however a great value transfer medium and is integral in the overall NIG plan.

If i tried to launch both platforms and develop both at the same time it would lead to either shoddy work or failure. The infrastructure that NIG is building is tailor made to accomodate a maximum of 6 currencies, NRB/NRS/PTS/BTC and two others.

The structure and mind frame needed to develop a stable monetary policy with regard to NRB is different from the entrepreneur, business manager required for NRS. While other multi-task well, i prefer to do things slowly but surely. NRB is dependent on NRS for help with platform establishment, adoption and dispersal. The honest truth is that NRB is a clone, so the questions i spent months trying to answer were

1) How to make it different without changing the algorithm
2) why are all the rest of these clone failing
3) What possible methods i can employ to create a stable supply.

I realized that the "services" offered and the "stores" that some of these currencies have are of little or no consequence, i had to think big, outside the box. Which is where i came up with the decentralized corporate branching system. All the  branches offer unique goods and services, but they hold one thing in common, they accept NRB, then came the PTS and NRS ideas, and my idea went from micro to macro.

I've apologized time and again for the time it takes me to be comfortable with announcing anything because this success will become the template for those who wish to copy the system. I am writing the basis of this kind of business, it's not an easy task.

I thought of these ideas a while ago, and III managed to prove that certain parts of the concept are actually useable in practice. The differences in approach and models are quite distinct but you can see that the origins are similar.

I'll find time and upload a screen shot of my NRB holdings. The price had dropped to almost a 5th of what it is right now and i bought a ****load. Would i have bought all that if i did not have plans for NRB?

Just give me time and patience, everyone is welcome to join me on skype and witness how i work and communicate with people trying to open doors for this to work.

"Someone" even dsuggested i document some of the events. It gets frustrating at times, i understand people, i just wish they would take a minute to think about the effort that goes into the development of these things. I started out alone, but now we have a reliable web dev who has producing astounding results in a small window of time. We have a windows builder who has been making nightly builds for testing purposes. we have our coffee expert who is dealing with the exchange and then theres me...lol, i'm everywhere. Apart from that there are others who are giving help and assistance free of charge, as well as _hack, who donated this week's wages.

A lot is going on and we are doing it out of pocket because we want to present the world with actual progress. Talk is cheap, we prefer to sit and code.

i will accept NRB at a rate of 16 NRB -> 1 NRS. I have limited funds so please understand that when they are finished, the facility will be closed.

i will accept PTS at a rate of 1 PTS -> 35 NRS. I have limited funds so please understand that when they are finished, the facility will be closed.

If your wish is to sell NRS, the first exchange to list is openex.pw. However if you wish to invest the options will be made available to you shortly.

As an effort to increase the spread of NRS among crypto users, for 24 hours i will host a facility that accepts trade between any crypto on cryptsy with NRS.

To calculate your respective rate please do the following

Current rate BTC/NRS = 1/1000

Calculate your BTC/insert crypto here rate

Now you can trade your crypto @ NRS/crypto+20%

This ensures that you get NRS and an additional promotion of 20%. Again, this facility is limited and will only last as long as interest and funds.

Dont get left out, others already lost out on mining when difficulty was low, now the price is low jump on while the train is still here.

Code: [Select]
Invalid private key (code -5)
I got the private key from another machine. And I am sure the it is correct.

Looks like there might be some checks against Bitcoin magic numbers that need to be updated...

Looks like this is probably an issue on the Windows client.

hello barwizi,
what actually are the products that noirbits will give us a stake in? Do you have specified this somewhere? What services will the DAC you develope provide? (for example btc can be used for payment processing and money transmittence etc)
Also, will you operate under a legal entity (brick and morter company) and will you unveal your identity?
Will you have a team?
What is the roadmap? And roughly when will what happen (outcomming DACs etc.)?

hello

it's NIG, noirbits is a currency. Your investment in a venture entitles you to dividends. rather than the DAC concept used by III, all ventures under NIG belong to the respective investors. Rather than innumerable blockchains we will maintain a maximum of three. NRB/NRS and one more that is still far far far from ever being implemented because it is still a concept. We work by pooling the investments and embarking on business ventures, the profits of which are paid either monthly or per quarter based on the business model of each venture. For example, an active exchange should pay out monthly, whereas a crypto development venture will likely pay out every few months .

Please read the following documents

:- NIG definition https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxCtiOzdwvPycU12eWh3Q0Z0R0E/edit?usp=sharing (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxCtiOzdwvPycU12eWh3Q0Z0R0E/edit?usp=sharing)

The team is currently very small (4). but we will keep it this way until investors choose more permanent staff.

The current list of mile stones is as follows

Good luck to you. Unlike your single post profile, my profile name is the same on 4 forums where i have conducted business and cultivated a reputation as being fair and straight. I have made countless contributions here and elsewhere that can all be referenced.

FYI, i wrote the Social Consensus Software License. So i know it very well, and it states that use of the code entails honouring the consensus, I did not fork it, i went and adapted my own version, i am no copy-paste dev, i actually code (monkey that i am). My choice to honour it is an invitation to PTS holders only to join the movement. I owe nothing to AGS and it does not factor into my plans, that is purely for AGS holders and III to deal with.

To answer your question, do you know the costs of doing what i have done so far? why would i ruin a potential Industry leading idea and flush my investment down the toilet?? Some of us tend to think long term.

custom getwork stand alone miner for windows users :- http://xyzzy.su/pts-getwork.zip (http://xyzzy.su/pts-getwork.zip)

Useage , via command-line miner.exe ptspool.conf


change the conf file to something like this:-

host=127.0.0.1
port=18500
rpcuser=barwizi
rpcpass=x
#Number of threads requesting work from the server in parallel
getwork_threads=2
submit_threads=2
OpenCL devices to run miner on
devices=0,1
platform=0

make sure the ports, username and password match your NoirShares.conf file.


Many thanks to reorder for the assist
Can't get the windows miner working, I've set the conf files as you wrote, but all im geting is

":1851eb 22 22:19:39 2014 Miner Starts - 127.0.0.1"

please post your specs and the full output when you start the miner.

I got 2 xfx 280x, and the full output is:

C:\Users\mining\Desktop\pts-getwork>miner.exe ptspool.conf

Hello, hope you are all having a relaxing weekend. There has been a lot of interest in the inter-currency trade facility. To this end we are hoping to make it a permanent part of the exchange as a means of spreading the coin and also possibly to completely automate the investment procedure.

In light of this i'd also like to warn those who wish to use the facility that only ~20% of the allocated units are left for this exercise.

hello barwizi,
what actually are the products that noirbits will give us a stake in? Do you have specified this somewhere? What services will the DAC you develope provide? (for example btc can be used for payment processing and money transmittence etc)
Also, will you operate under a legal entity (brick and morter company) and will you unveal your identity?
Will you have a team?
What is the roadmap? And roughly when will what happen (outcomming DACs etc.)?

hello

it's NIG, noirbits is a currency. Your investment in a venture entitles you to dividends. rather than the DAC concept used by III, all ventures under NIG belong to the respective investors. Rather than innumerable blockchains we will maintain a maximum of three. NRB/NRS and one more that is still far far far from ever being implemented because it is still a concept. We work by pooling the investments and embarking on business ventures, the profits of which are paid either monthly or per quarter based on the business model of each venture. For example, an active exchange should pay out monthly, whereas a crypto development venture will likely pay out every few months .

Please read the following documents

The team is currently very small (4). but we will keep it this way until investors choose more permanent staff.

The current list of mile stones is as follows

  • Normalize Mining of NRS on all platforms
  • Develop an easy audit System for investor use
  • Development of the Trade platform
  • Development of NoirStore

Thanks!

With the options available, you chose how your money is used, either for specific ventures or in a general fund that gets you a piece of everything.

The example venture is actually NoirEx and due to recent developments lol (gox) we are re-writing some of the policies, I will publish it once i get a bit more legal advice. We are trying to think of ways to assure clients and investors alike that business will be conducted in a professional manner with balances and checks in effect at all times and all levels.

Quote

All venture ideas post NoirStore may only be submitted by shareholders. Once share holders agree on which venture to execute then a mandate is passed for research, development and deployment. The dev teams only start work after approval by shareholders.

Sorry if this is obvious and somehow I missed it... But I think I've gathered that it's possible to import a PTS private key and claim NRS from the latest snapshot.

Is this true?

If so, is it easy to do?

My definition of easy:
1) download windows wallet.
2) muck around in debug.
3) be NRS owner.

Hopefully other people are confused like me  :)

You havent missed a thing unless you don't have any NRS at all.

you are right, the chain was already active by the time i figured out how to include balances. it has been suggested that a hard fork be implemented  at block 6000 to make it easy, but i am reluctant to endanger the functional chain in such a manner. We have considered system that will allow us to confirm the owners of addresses. while more complicated, it is the most sure fire way of ensuring fair allocation. If implemented immediately, i could even give 10%. It's long and taxing on me to do it that way, but it is the most feasible non-destructive way to do so. 

we have an existing snapshot with the balances and addresses, so at the opening of the investment options, we will publish a PTS address, every person whose address is in the snapshot and wishes to have NRS will send the bare minimum tx with their NRS address in the comment. this ensures easy verification that your address is in the list and what your NRS address is.

There are exactly 13105 addresses with balances greater than or equal to one, and a total of 46884 addresses with non zero balances. As you can see, even if only 1/10 of the community verifies, it's still a mammoth task. even the tx fees i will pay will be in the hundreds.

Do you think it's worth the hassle or should i just leave it as a bad job? I would allocate 24 - 36 hours to spend on this exercise.

I think the questions we're curious about (that nobody is answering directly) are:

1. Right now (not at some future date), can I import a PTS private key and claim NRS? I.e., am I currently entitled to some NRS?
2. If the answer to question (1) is "yes," then how do I import said PTS private key?

Thanks.

I'll keep them safe and sound in my wallet as long as I believe that the NIG offers me more value for holding them than I'd get for selling them...

See, I can be vague and evasive too  ;)

I'm really not trying to be rude, but here's my take on this whole NIG thing so far: your fears that PTS holders will sell their NRS at their first opportunity are justified by the fact that you're not inspiring confidence in us!

You seem to be a respected, hard-working, sincere member of the community, so I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. But you seem to be missing the fact that PTS holders are the least likely to dump shares in a promising venture; we are the buy-and-holders of the crypto community who believe in things like the long-term value of DACs. If PTS holders dump your shares, it's because your business plan is this vague "hey we're going to launch stuff and there will be investment options" thing. Make us a real value proposition, and you won't have anything to worry about!

Now, having ranted a bit, I will say that NRS has clearly made progress over the past few weeks (exhibit 1: there's a windows qt that I don't have to compile from source!), and your business plan document does say something about how the NIG is structured...

So, here's my direct answer to your question: I won't participate in any market landslides by selling my NRS. That is, I might sell them, but only after the value has skyrocketed or after I've given up hope that there will ever be any value.

you'll notice i have not opened those options to anyone, as of yet. Investors will put a lot of trust and funds in my hands and i'd like to show them that we know what we are doing. Right now structuring and creating adequate balances and checks is important to ensure that no investor or developer or god forbid I can abuse the system. What do you term a "real value proposition" ? in my opinion, i have my an invitation and made my intentions clear, from here "value" is what you perceive it to be.   

NIG will develop and grow at a modest pace, even once we open the investment options we will always take careful steps, this is new territory and so 'd like to do thinks right.

The price (of PTS) will drop after Feb 28 precisely because III has convinced people that BitShares X will have value. That is, the drop in price of PTS will be a perfect example of PTS holder confidence in Invictus! The drop in price will precisely reflect the confidence that PTS holders have in BitShares X.

Anyway, I'm not trying to tell you what to do with NRS; obviously that's your prerogative. I wish your venture well whether I'm a part of it or not. I'm just bewildered by your implicit assumption that it's somehow not your responsibility to convince owners of NRS to hold instead of to sell.

If i focus on talking about reasons to hold, i'll never stop talking but get little done. I want to get some things done then talk a bit, then rush back to more development. The fall of PTS is not a good thing for Invictus.

Fair enough.

By the way, I thought of a way you could have honored the 10% social consensus while avoiding the risk of a sell-off at the beginning: simply write PTS and AGS holders into the genesis block and make their NRS unspendable for a certain length of time. You could even unlock their NRS a little at a time; maybe as a fraction of the miners' block reward. Then PTS and AGS holders are all happy since they've been invited to the party, and you're happy because they can't sell everything off all at once. In fact, this creates a particularly interesting incentive for PTS/AGS holders to contribute value to your venture, because they know that they can't sell until some time in the future. Thus, they want the value of NRS at that future time to be as high as possible.

Just something to chew on, but I realize it's probably too late now. Now I'll quit distracting you. :) Thanks for your time!

It will take some code vodoo, but it's doable. But for the most part such advice could be placed in a how to for DACs. I wrote the one for genesis blocks, but i think a more in depth one based on my experiences and the advice i get may be required as a primer for future aspiring DACs

I've been running the pts-getwork with miner.exe ptspool.conf for a couple days now, with R9 280x gpu, not a single block :( I was wondering if someone could tell me if I have the NoirShare.conf setup correctly for solo mining gpu.

rpcuser=xxxxxx
rpcpassword=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
rpctimeout=30
rpcport=18500
rpcallowip=localhost
gen=1
server=1

my ptspool.conf looks like this.
host=127.0.0.1
port=18500
rpcuser=xxxxxx
rpcpass=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
#Number of threads requesting work from the server in parallel
getwork_threads=8
submit_threads=8
OpenCL devices to run miner on
devices=0,1,2
platform=0
 
my understanding is that gen=1 is needed for mining.. But should it be zero since the miner.exe is externally mining?

i know its the same, but try using the actual ip

try lowering this.

either way, is your GPU registering load when you start the miner?

Reading back through the thread, I see that there was a retake of snapshot; and I missed it again lol.

Put my GPU into mining too 5 days back and getting some 140 hpm, 44 vpm and still no block.

Anyways, still on 0 and any donation would be very welcome.

PTS honoring exercise starts now. Because i was not fully sure how to go about it, PTS addresses were not added in Genesis block, however i have devised a means of address ownership verification that i think is fool proof. I already have a snap shot so all i need is to get the new NRS addresses corresponding to a PTS address.

Send minimum pts allowed by network to PvFmNBgHera9Wu8oiJ4oXndRsJyzrSZXBi with your NRS address in tx comment. I will send NRS to  addresses received via PTS.

Actually I dont like to get my PTS out of the cold-storage and initiate a tx :-( .. Hmm .. can I go for a signed message using my PTS-address?

the reason i am asking for tx is that it is fool proof. You can only send me from a address you own or have access to.

That's what I thought... I'm not sure what you mean by the "right chain." What I mean is that I checked my PTS address PvNagRsyAzMmDn2wL83oopoc8XAmrsrnEk in the google doc you just listed, and it showed a balance of 4.99. You can see on https://coinplorer.com/PTS/Addresses/PvNagRsyAzMmDn2wL83oopoc8XAmrsrnEk that Mid-Feb, the balance was about 111.

So your list shows my PTS balance as it was from January 13-16.

then maybe the error was in the tool used to parse the chain. other balances seem correct though

ever heard of templates? The time it takes to start from scratch on just the front-end is too much, the web designer opted to start with an existing template. as i said, that was pre-pre-alpha, there is a lot being changed visually although i am more concerned with the matching engine and security.

In order for executive decisions to be come more investor oriented i will be opening the options this week without failure. I had hoped to delay further so that i may continue pushing developments in the background and not expose investors to the ugly world of crypto devs. Opening of options will increase funding and speed up development, also it will allow the investor collective to make decisions on what the hired developers do with the allotted times and funds. It has the side effect of placing more pressure on the already heavily tasked force i have put together, recent set backs have put two key developers out of whack for almost a week now. The reason the dev group is small is that we have been working out of pocket, trying to at least produce some results before asking investors to fund anything.

Once the options are open, those who have invested can set directives on whether I should halt other developments and focus on a pool and the client, hire someone else to do it or continue along the path i have been on.

Noir Investment Fund

After every three months investments will be tallied and represented in a migrating blockchain, this is to ensure that investors do not feel tied down. Our friends at Invictus were faced with this dilemma with regard to AGS, we have decided to use the migrating blockchain as a means to allow liquidation of investments should an investor feel the need. The specification is almost complete and will be published when options open.

Currently in active development is NoirStore and NoirEX, NoirTalk is still in design phase. Any investors who wish to submit and DAC ideas or ventures are free to do so from now on.

POOL

NRS Block Quarry (https://nrs.blockquarry.com/)

You need to register a worker on the site and use that worker name with the coyote pool miner, not your payout address.  The getting started page has the download links:-

https://nrs.blockquarry.com/index.php?page=gettingstarted (https://nrs.blockquarry.com/index.php?page=gettingstarted)

There will probably be bugs.  For example the stats are very inaccurate estimates.   MPOS was made for LiteCoin and BitCoin and the various statistics were based on that, it was tweaked to look better but it is still not correct.

Donate :-

It seems coyote miner does not have the -t flag to reduce the amount of cores used. I've set pool_miner.exe in windows task manager to low priority, but this kill my mining process in GPU for other coins  :-[
I need to leave at least one core free.

Is there any workaround ?

yes they are! Many of site currently online, are using bootstrap framework! Its a library with standard most basic functions, styles etc. for faster web developing.

i would guess on crypto ecosystems more than 80% of sites are developed on top of bootstrap or foundation(zurb)

I wanted to buy some NRS, and found them several times cheaper than what Barwizi here was selling. So, feeling smart, I sold little more than 2 PTS, transferred the BTC to Openex and then they disabled trading. To top it all, it seems they were hacked and may not be able to reimburse the whole amount *sigh*

Poloneix also lists NRS, but it has already been hacked twice.

Oh well, will try to mine later today using that pool. Solo mining with my GPU for 8 days yielded nada (after which I put it on hashcows).

I wanted to buy some NRS, and found them several times cheaper than what Barwizi here was selling. So, feeling smart, I sold little more than 2 PTS, transferred the BTC to Openex and then they disabled trading. To top it all, it seems they were hacked and may not be able to reimburse the whole amount *sigh*

Poloneix also lists NRS, but it has already been hacked twice.

Oh well, will try to mine later today using that pool. Solo mining with my GPU for 8 days yielded nada (after which I put it on hashcows).

Can anyone explain how this can be mined with GPU? Which software? only solo? pool possible?

Thanks

I've done it, and I'm currently mining, but it's CPU coyote miner, I was asking for a GPU. Is there one?


Edit: Found it "pts-getwork" but it seems to work only in solo

Is there any for pool?

Could you expound on this a little? I assume those are donation addresses? Are there minimum donations? Is there a website or forum post we can go to and find out more info?

My understanding here is that NRS are investment shares in NIG, but dividends are only paid out to the sender's of shares held in one of NIG's investment funds.  Is this accurate?

If this is the case, then sending NRS to the general fund address essentially creates virtual, non transferable NIG general fund shares, which are dividend paying, and are the real shares in the company.  If you then use the NRS that have been sent to the general fund to develop the company by selling them to raise money, or by paying workers with them, the recipients will donate their NRS in exchange for dividend paying shares and the cycle will repeat, with share dilution approaching the total NRS supply at each cycle.

No, you have it wrong. sending NRS to the general fund is an investment in liquid, transferable shares. While the system is till awkward in it's infancy, they are really transferable. There have already been two transfers, as we gain momentum and support, this will be streamlined. The NRS in the general fund is rarely ever touched.

our structures are very different from invictus/pts/ags

it is not a donation it is an investment that guarantees a share in returns. Not by social consensus but by investment contract. Employees are paid either in crypto currency or using shares, this is still up for debate by investors since there are only 4 employees for now, including myself.

NRS is not the driving factor of the NIG, it is one of the factors, one of the preferred investment vehicles. we are operating on a different platform...perhaps you can take a minute to read the above linked documents? I'm sure they'll answer some of your questions.

Investors are free to invest using 4 chosen crypto-currencies, as our business ventures will span Ethereum and Counterparty, those will be added later.

Shares are not diluted, each is set at a rate and once a venture is funded, there will be no more shares, thus protecting all those who invested from late comers. The GF can be used in tandem with select funds and as a result the dividends are paid to both, but the above holds, once the venture is fully funded and operational,  there are no more shares available. this prevents dilution. It is not a cake, from which slices are given out bit by bit. the cake is cut after everyone is sitting at the table. the only difference is that GF invetsors during the start period get weighted shares.

So Noirshares are not really shares and we have to donate them to get anything?

You have options, you can use it as a run of the mill currency and trade it or you can hold it until we release a DAC or you can invest it, you have to invest them to receive dividends from the company, you have to hold them to get stakes in blockchain based ventures.

NoirStore and NoirEx cannot be block chain based, these are ventures. Block chainbased ventures are NoirTalk and Unity(may be merged into one, still  being investigated). However after NoirEx goes live, all ventures will need investor approval.

So sending donations, I'm assuming, will work very similarly to how they work with BitShares PTS?

Barwizi, I appreciate you efforts. I have to admit though that I had a difficult time to wrap my head around the value proposition of Noir-x.
Can you summarize in a few sentences what the value proposition / reason for investing of Noir- shares/bits etc. is? How does the Noir-x system work?

I guess the best starting point is to say with us @ Noir we give you options, do you want to be a passive participant through mining and purchase of either NoirShares or active through investment directly in the company. We offer return value and profit, through products whose scope is in actual useable ideas in the crypto space and beyond. For example, our first DAS mines other coins and purchases NRS from the exchange, there by propping up value and allowing others to mine it indirectly through their own hardware spec. Those who are invested directly in the Group gain a % of the fees as profit. While this is a small amount, it all adds up over time with our other products.

Another example is our Mining Facility. this facility mines BTC and adds it to the company balance, this can then be paid out directly to our investors or is used to produce more products.

In one sentence, i'd say invest in us because we love results, we love profit and we are willing to work hard to produce quality solutions that are relevant to the crypto-space.
