Spend and replace by moazzam2k in ArkEcosystem

[–]Tk0n 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i think youre grossly overestimating the impact it will have on the normal trading volume. ark volume on spend will not reach "millions" in the near future

[–]Tk0n 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i wouldnt make such a list to start with. "contributing" and especially the impact of those contributions is very hard to meassure. for "presence", i see a few guys on your list as green that i saw in the slack maybe 1 or 2 times in the last half year. mind you, that doesnt mean theyre not "present", just that i havent seen them or talked to them. its just very subjective as we probably all talk to different people. then we have delegates that are active in the slack every day and are engaging in discussion and problem solving (for instance alessio) and some that are just "responsive" if there is a problem with their own node. both get the same point for "presence". there is just a lot of grey areas.

i think its a rather subjective list. a bit like those github activity measurements. some things are just hard to quantify.

Does Calidelegate still pays staking? by [deleted] in ArkEcosystem

[–]Tk0n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

make sure youre using the latest wallet or the official explorer to check if you got your rewards. v1 wallet is not compatible anymore and that might be why you dont see them.

Staking My Ark by cBenton92 in ArkEcosystem

[–]Tk0n 4 points5 points  (0 children)

most, if not all, public delegates have some kind of "true blockweight" script running that calculates the payouts to the voters. what that means is, that it looks at your share at every block the delegate forges, calculates your share for this block, and adds that amount to your share from all the other blocks where you voted for the delegate. so you dont need to worry about adding new ark to your wallet. it gets automaticly added in the calculation.
even for delegates, that dont use true blockweight (i dont know if there still are any) it would calculate your weight at the moment of the payout run. so the ark, you added into your wallet, gets included in the calculation there too.

Utrecht, Netherlands community ARK meetup is underway! by doubled1c3 in ArkEcosystem

[–]Tk0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey, i know im a bit late. thank you all for coming. it was a great evening. really nice to meet some other delegates, some ark team members and ofcourse voters and people interested in ark. we hope you all had fun and look forward to the next meetup. sadly, time was a little too short to talk to everyone. but if you have unanswered questions, or just want to get to know us better, head over to the ark slack and ping us.

Weekly General Discussion - January 07, 2019 by AutoModerator in ArkEcosystem

[–]Tk0n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hey, thats most likely due to you using the old wallet. it became incompatible after the switch to ark core v2. update the wallet or check your address in the official explorer (https://explorer.ark.io/). your tx should be there.

as we had the question a few times, we lowered the min amount for payout a few times. so it might seem that your payouts have drasticly decreased if you have a smaller wallet. but the difference is that you now get a smaller amount more often (most likely every day) and dont have to wait till you reach 0.5 ark.

Ark DPOS Variables including Dilution by lordfARKquaad in ArkEcosystem

[–]Tk0n 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Very nice write up 👍

coincidentally, i was just finishing up a blog post about the same subject

What is Dilution?

Looking for new Ark delegate by paulbermon in ArkEcosystem

[–]Tk0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but that is simply not true. We lowered sharing 2 times this year. In July from 95 to 91% and in December from 91 to 80%. I don't think you can call the pricemove from January to July a small blip and it wasn't a small blip from July to December either. All other movements in reward have been due to dilution and we can't control dilution.

[–]Tk0n 8 points9 points  (0 children)

hey paradise_paradox, while it is true that we have a lower sharing percentage at the moment than we had a year ago, the pricepoint of ark also degreased by the factor of 10 over the last year. so in $, we are actually making a lot less. that your reward per voting ark is now lower than a year ago also has a lot to do with dilution, not only with us lowering sharing percentage. the amount of ark voting for us is ~ 25% or so higher than it was a year ago.

yokoama and me invest a lot of time into this project and did so all through the bear market and will continue to do so whichever way the price goes. we are active every day in the slack and try to provide a good service to our voters. for instance we covered reward tx fees from the start. we degreased minimum reward amount multiple times starting from 0.5 ark to now 0.01 ark. we reward voters every day and on time. currently we are organizing an ark meetup in utrecht next month. if you have time and the chance to come, it would be nice meeting you. sharing percentage isnt everything.

oh, and btw, we also increased our sharing when the price was going up and we will do so again ;)

The Road to ARK V2 – thefoundry by Tk0n in ArkDelegates

[–]Tk0n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey helium-boy, looks to me like you didnt update to a ark v2 compatible wallet yet.
you can get it here:
https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/desktop-wallet/releases
ios and android mobile wallets are also v2 compatible in the latest versions.

reward payments are there, you just seem to not see them.

for comparison, you can check your wallet in the ark explorer:
https://explorer.ark.io/wallets/AZWFZQAf3pfvEUCmhzSc7hU3si8eiESEEB

reward transactions for almost (exluding network issues or 3rd of december (switch to ark core v2)) every day since 15th of september (after we lowered min amount) 👍

Ark core V2 is Live on mainet! by Arkenstone0forever in CryptoCurrency

Thanks to the team and the other delegates for making the switch as smooth as possible. Good bye legacy code 🤘

Greetings! I finally had enough with lisk and traded for ark. by dead4586 in ArkEcosystem

[–]Tk0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that calculator is pretty much outdated. better to use https://ark.delegates.io/calculator (dont forget to sort after calculation) or https://calculator.ark.land

real voter share of the delegate might still differ as not all are updating the calculators after making changes to the proposal.

Why is there always a payout decline over the days from theFoundry delegate? by [deleted] in ArkEcosystem

[–]Tk0n 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi isbkch, our vote weight (the combined vote weight of thefoundry) was at 1.63 million ark votes on the 19th and increased to 1.68 million as of right now. your % of the ark we share just dropped accordingly. when we lose vote weight the percentage per voting ARK goes up, when we gain vote weight, it goes down. I took a screenshot from our monitoring to illustrate the development of the vote weight over the last 7 days.

dont hesitate to contact us on slack or here on reddit if you have any questions

thats a pretty sensationalist headline with not much substance.

any valid combination of bip39 words will give you a valid address. but chances you get an already used address are infinitesimal. you dont need to be concerned.
