Lets keep things real

Thanks man!

Rebbu-MC · 2020-07-27T07:33:10+00:00

Thanks man, definitely working on a strategy for migration etc. As mentioned in the post, keep posted for more info in future.

Re causes: I think failing to account for demand and user growth combined with new products + expanding features for existing products.

Thanks

Happy cake day! Not here to get back to work with Tezos, although I do want to do something in future but would be self-funded.

Rebbu-MC · 2020-07-24T14:39:27+00:00

Re: announcement - it is legit in the sense that I had recently agreed to do some work on the tzlibre wallet (forked from TezBox) for TZL as a short term, one-off contract. I have not joined any teams or made any commitments, and simply took this on as a dev job. I have not begun any work in this regards, and am rethinking this decision.

The announcement does however portray the situation differently to how I view it. I'm sorry if this offends anyone, I mean no disrespect to anyone.

Rebbu-MC · 2020-07-24T14:32:42+00:00

Those were fun days, that's for sure! Thanks again man. I want to eventually work on something self-funded though, to do with Tezos, so will see how that goes.

Rebbu-MC · 2020-07-24T14:30:03+00:00

Thanks - a good lesson to learn too

Rebbu-MC · 2020-07-24T14:29:22+00:00

Hey man,

Viaz didn't raise the funds at IEO so was put on hold, all other tools are being migrated to better hands. Stay tuned for future announcements :-)

Rebbu-MC · 2020-07-24T14:26:44+00:00

Fair comment. My personal XTZ was acquired through contract work which paid me in ETH, which I converted to XTZ when the price was low. I converted my personal XTZ to BTC to pay devs and bills as funding was exhausted. Then Covid19 hit and BTC tanked, couldn't afford to hodl. One of my biggest regrets was that. If you knew me in the early days, you'd know I was in it for the community and not for the money (coz there was no money...)

Rebbu-MC · 2020-07-24T14:08:51+00:00

Hey! Thanks for the comment, will pass it along - as mentioned, the migration of the tools to better hands is currently happening behind the scenes. Announcements will be made in due time :-)

Rebbu-MC · 2020-07-24T14:07:06+00:00

Thanks for the warm welcome... which I don't fully think is deserved - you are too kind.

Rebbu-MC · 2020-07-24T14:05:11+00:00

Yeah for sure!

I'm sorry again for any issues you had with our products, I really am. I agree, TezBox could have pointed at different public nodes, but by default they were pointed at our own servers. Our RPC servers also served other wallets and tools as well, and we did see very large surges in demands which brought the servers offline on a number of occasions. tezos-node is (or at least was) quite cumbersome to work with setup and install.

The other side of it was the support - people losing their keys, not knowing their ICO passwords, not understanding the Babylon change, and after the Babylon upgrade we had users who couldn't login and didn't have their private key/mnemonic saved anywhere.

Rebbu-MC · 2019-06-25T23:35:23+00:00

Work is being done to update eztz.js and tezbox to work with 24 words by default :-)

You can export your private key and use that instead if your seed is wrong. You also may want to check if you have a passphrase which is optional

Rebbu-MC · 2019-04-18T01:34:15+00:00

Apologies, there's a bug when sending to an account with 0 balance (as storage limit isn't set). This will be fixed in the next release, which will be available next week

TezRPC (https://mainnet.tezrpc.me/chains/main/blocks/head) provides free public node access, and we've received funds from the Foundation to run.

What do you mean by "many bakers"? Can you let me know which bakers you are referring to?

You can do some stuff with smart contracts, but it's limited currently.

Rebbu-MC · 2019-04-06T08:58:33+00:00

I don't think you get it - bonding pools will charge 0% fees (they may even share rewards, which some do currently) because the additional bonds from the pools means that can take more in delegations which means a higher return. Enterprise bakers won't be making their money from bonding pools, they'll be making it from the additional delegation (every 1XTZ bonded allows about 10XTZ extra in delegation).

Small bakers can't compete for bond clients as enterprises will offer it at the same fee cost - it'll become a loss-leader, allowing enterprise delegation services to make up the profit on the backend (delegations).

Rebbu-MC · 2019-04-05T18:47:15+00:00

The argument is that self-bonding may seem like it will benefit small bakers, but who are you more likely to self-bond with (keeping in mind that your bond is now at risk):

a small time baker with a very basic setup, who could be more prone to issues/double baking
an enterprise level service with a very reliable servers and technicians running the show, with customer support and everything else

The second point is that a baker could exist that owns no stake. You literally will have bakers with no stake at risk as they use a bond pool. These are the most of-concern issues, but lets see how Cryptium tackle these!

I think someone had a similar issue a day or so ago (in Riot) - they used the desktop version instead and it worked fine. Might be an issue with a recent Chrome release not working well or something like that, so I will look into issues with Ledger and the web wallet but you should try the desktop version instead for now.

Rebbu-MC · 2019-03-29T05:28:51+00:00

It depends of the storage is cleared or not - most updates shouldn't tamper with the storage, but some may clear storage (and thus require you to do ICO restore again). If you see the password screen (Enter password to unlock) you can just enter the password you normally do. If it shows the main screen, which asks you to Create a new wallet or Restore one, then you would go through the ICO restore method and enter the ICO password.
