General Discussion / Re: Will Darkcoin pass Bitshares today or tomorrow?
« on: February 11, 2015, 07:41:43 pm »
it's anonymous and now with it's increased speed, it's almost instant, looks very promising

Bitshares : Propagating blocks every 10 seconds won't allow the network to grow very large without tons of orphans. Darkcoin solves this by locking transactions into the next block while the block is being solved, this gives you the best of both worlds, really fast confirmation with a really stable network.

Darkcoin isn't really anonymous, it just uses coinjoin. I think it's basically at the same level of privacy as the stealth transactions that bitshares uses, although its possible they have more transactions in general and thus more obscurity.

And I don't think there's any indication that it will scale better than bitshares. Since ultimately only the delegates need to maintain full nodes we'd only need 101 times visas processing power to process visa level transactions. I don't think darkcoin would be secure with that few nodes. I also can't see why there would be any performance gain from propagating transactions individually rather than in blocks, in fact im pretty sure it decreases performance since you'd now have to propagate all information 3 times: when it's sent, when its instant confirmed, and when its in the block.

Maybe we cut our block times so we can get a nice pump going as well.

The reduced block times are just the banner of the pump. A pump group can use any fancy new feature this way, it doesn't have to be reduced block times (in fact I'd say that's a pretty weak feature to pump on really). Ultimately this is entirely market manipulation and an attempt to catch fools that buy into the euphoria. At the same time it's also quite good marketing for the coin (assuming the dump isn't too violent), suddenly darkcoin is a hot topic and people who had otherwise forgotten about it might revisit it again.

Looks like the third pump attempt failed to reach a new high. There could be a 4th attempt but i doubt it. Btw isnt it interesting how drk is listed on bitfinex yet has almost no volume there? Cryptsy is really the place for altcoins to get serious volume.

There needs to be a vote of some kind before core development on this stuff begins. Shareholders need a say in whether it is appropriate to begin development of new features before 1.0 is even done.

I love the new featured market preview windows +5%

Can we please make BitBTC:BitUSD a featured market? Its got some volume now 8)

IMO the 6 featured markets should be the 6 markets with highest liquidity over the past 7 days or so. Then we can push BTC/USD up there.

As long as it's the original ones. I got strangely attached to the ugly fellow.

Yeah me too! I don't want this imposter!

Im still using the one from robohash.org for bitshares checkout... what do I use now? Sigh..

Just remove it for now. It will probably be a while before we can use them and while they are a nice security feature they are not required for the system to be functional.

This is a bit trivial, but the robot image has changed from my original account setup image. Anyway to choose our own?

You can't change it. The fact that it changed on its own is because we're apparently using an outside service to generate them. This means that right now they can't be trusted and are pretty useless because they might change again. In the future their generation will be integrated in the wallet and they will become operational.

We don't even need to have active IOU to bitshares markets for price discovery. Delegate price feeds can just measure the peg of bitassets instead, and then multiply the internal market rate with the peg deviation to produce the feed for minimum short price, or let bitassets be shorted freely if there is no peg deviation (say within 1% error margin).

Holy crap its awesome!

My shit computer that have always had problems with the full node suddenly runs it without any issues. Startup takes about 25 seconds now as opposed to 5-10 minutes before.

Address book is awesome, new market dashboard looks awesome too. General design is great.

Hopefully the fact that our competitors are still pursuing POW (and proprietary, at that) gives us time to clean up our ui and get marketing caught up.

We only have one competitor, ethereum.

And they're not dicking around.

I think it could be a good idea if BitWallet became a project that primarily focused on bitcoin users. So the integrated bridge functionality became the centerpiece of the app and development would focus on getting the user experience for that as perfect as possible. So bitcoin transactions from the wallet should be as prominent and easy as bitshares transactions.

Then we could really take advantage of the fact that we have two mobile wallets, nathan hourts would be for bitshares users while bitwallet would focus on bitcoin users. Then all marketing can focus on the bitwallet at first since that's a product with large demand we can begin selling to bitcoiners as soon as it is out.

bitcoin bridge support is AMAZING. Nullstreet was literally in the middle of a discussion about "when is someone gonna make this so we have something to market".

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

Hope it'll be ready soon, this should what our ads are focusing on.

edit: it's meant to be able to send and receive bitcoin just like a regular bitcoin wallet (scanning/generating bitcoin QR codes), right? Ideally it should be able to scan a bitpay QR code and get the address and amount, then send the amount to the bridge to get a locked in quote for an amount that corresponds to the price of the locked in bitpay quote, and then have the bridge return the amount of bitUSD the wallets need to send to the bridge account with a memo that makes the bridge return any funds that are in excess of the quote, and return all funds if they are below the quote.

How do you source your bitUSD?

Currently from Bter.com ... https://bter.com/trade/BTC_BITUSD

I'd be interested to hear where we believe the best place to source it is for most benefit to the community... marketing / volume exposure etc?

If you buy from bter you are most likely buying from cryptohedge's bot. We will aim to have this bot always offering the lowest possible spread, but you could buy from us directly and further save the 0.2% bter fee. However I don't know how this could effectively be done (since i assume you want to dump the bitcoins the instant you mine a block), maybe we can set up a bridge you can use where we buy and sell for the same spread as our bter bot but without a fee. I will be looking into this.

This is pretty sweet. The wallet should do this calculation for each bridge and then rank them according to lowest spread.
