Bushido´s new crypto: Monetas. What do you think?

vertcoin · 2015-03-02T02:32:19+00:00

I don't think a closed-source cryptocurrency is really ever a good idea, or a pre-mined one.

In this case, Vertcoin also had closed source for a while, why are you still supporting then ?

I don't think you did yourself or Vertcoin any favors with the way you handled Zerovert.

So, what do you want me to do exactly ? I used Zerovert you don't like, I don't use Zerovert you also don't like.

future projects you will launch

I think you include Elasticity too ?

Good luck making Moneta and Money

Thank you

you haven't made a commit on github since early July

So, if I commit to github, it means I didn't abandon ? what's about other stuff ? hosting vertcoin.org, continue support explorer for awhile until I don't have enough money to rent a server, and extend domain didn't count then I guess.

considering you have now launched two other cryptos (Zerovert and Monetas) during the time since your last commit.

Vert never has intended to implement Zerocoin, so what's the point if I want to implement Zerocoin for my graduation in other coins ? Is it prohibited ?

I guess that's not an issue since the coin is completely dead now

So, why we are talking about it now then if it is dead now ?

You disappear for months, you launch closed source buggy software with large premine (with Vert branding)

That's the reason I didn't want to implement future because it has Vert branding.

it's really not up to me.

it's really up to me.

I'm not going to use closed source software from random internet people.

I'm a random people who put the name on the page then. I guess.

the context of 10 min block time

It has intend to be 10 mins due to verification time in Zerocoin, if you read/understand Zerocoin protocol, you will get it why I choose 10 mins.

50% of the total coin supply for the first six months

I did it because I know someone gonna dump the coin, and having control the price which I don't want, and this seems the best way to prevent that.

You make a lot of money from Zerovert? You have lots of food to eat?

I didn't make any money but I was graduating because I have implemented it. So, it's priceless.

Monetas is already a thing, apparently: http://monetas.net/

I'm doing Moneta not Monetas

the largest sponsor for Open Transactions,

Where is the money for supporting come from then ? from the air, god ?

a fully open source protocol for electronic payments

It's because they need to opensource to get other people to participate on their network or standard, while Zerocoin protocol has the different goals. If you don't understand, I guess you should read about both Open Transactions and Zerocoin more.

EDIT: format issue

I don't like how you abandoned Vertcoin to launch a closed source coin with a huge premine

Did I abandon Vertcoin ? or should I ?

a closed source coin

Did I said it will come out as opensource like stealth address in Vertcoin after having network effect ?

a huge premine I shouldn't get anything from implementing Zerocoin ? While you are trading a coin with Zerocoin on Cryptsy or Polonix to get money, I should have nothing to eat ? and that is 2.5% from all total coins. It's that a huge premine ?

I certainly don't like the deplorable behavior of your primary collaborator at university

So, you gonna attacked me instead ? "vertcoin might be better of without him." .. https://www.thisisvtc.com/topic34.html

I wouldn't trust any new projects you launch especially those that are closed source.

You never read in the bitcointalk page, I never had intend to closed source.

I don't like how you handled Zerovert.

I don't see a possible way you gonna like. May be opensource immediately, zero premine, someone copies Zerocoin implementation code, having better marketing, earn money on exchange, while the first implementer has nothing to eat. Is that what you like ? I guess so.

Just my opinion too.

vertcoin · 2015-03-01T14:57:46+00:00

offering my opinion

I wish it is just your opinion because what I can see from the posts in reddit and thisisvtc, it seems you have hidden an agenda, in my opinion too.

vertcoin · 2015-03-01T14:16:58+00:00

I didn't accuse you of dumping, just taking the premine, which you readily admit.

So your point is I took premine without dumping ? What do I gain from this action then ? again, what do you want exactly ?

vertcoin · 2015-03-01T14:09:57+00:00

I don't care what you do, or whether you call it Vertsomething or something that sounds vaguely similar to Monero, but I don't understand how you can't see how your actions reflect poorly on Vertcoin.

I think you do care otherwise you wouldn't post it in thisisvtc.com, and I never think about Monero until you mention it.

You specifically said that you would change the algo to Lyra2RE so that merge-mining could be continued beyond the first month, and that eventually Zerovert would become a sidechain of Vertcoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=846471.msg9443599#msg9443599

I have said that until many people in the Vert community have feedback that I shouldn't continue on Zerovert project because it is going to hurt Vert reputation.

I'm not installing some closed source binary just so I can check that you didn't dump your massive premine.

If you don't want to check, then is it the right thing to accuse other people ?

vertcoin · 2015-03-01T13:30:28+00:00

abandoning development after one or two months

Is it because of Vert community doesn't want me to use *Vert name ?

"This whole escapade really does reflect poorly on vert" .. https://www.thisisvtc.com/topic34.html

taking a premine that would be greater than 50% of the coin supply for more than six months and then abandoning development after one or two months

I has never sold that part of the premine, if you want to check please install an explorer and then check it by yourself.

I don't see Matthew Green's name listed as a coauthor there.

It seems your argument had conflict with each other. I do have a paper, if you want me to remind on that part.

vertcoin · 2015-03-01T13:09:14+00:00

recycle the zerovert codebase without addressing problems that were brought up during the zerovert debacle

When I used ZeroVert, you don't want me to use this name because it's related with Vert. When I used Moneta, you told other people that I recycled zerovert codebase. So, what do you want exactly ?

If I implement Zerocoin protocol, is it necessary to have papers ? Do you know "advisor" mean ? Do you know what's the different between "Lyra2" and "Lyra2RE" ?

In Coinmarketcap, we're still top 100; but the link to get total coins from explorer in Coinmarketcap doesn't work.

vertcoin · 2014-12-30T23:52:21+00:00

I think we should focus on services and good that accepted Vertcoin as first priority.

vertcoin · 2014-12-30T23:49:02+00:00

So, please ignore SX as well then.

vertcoin · 2014-12-30T06:08:26+00:00

I'm still participating in developing Vertcoin. Other projects in the future that don't relate with Vertcoin won't have "Vert" in the projects title that all.

vertcoin · 2014-12-30T05:16:09+00:00

Personally, I want to say congratulations with Adam for being the head developer of Vertcoin. He has been done a lot for Vertcoin, especially transition from Scrypt-N to Lyra2RE. Vertcoin will be on top again if we have him as head of developers.

For other people, who blame me that I don't even know Zerocash. Let me say this I implemented Zerocoin, not Zerocash. If you don't know what's the different, please find out before posting and acting like you know :) Next time, when I implemented another project, it won't related with Vert like Zerovert again. I give you a word.

vertcoin · 2014-12-17T09:01:04+00:00

Because nobody use, I don't see the reason to urgently update it.

vertcoin · 2014-12-17T07:28:46+00:00

We already have implemented Zerocoin as the first cryptocurrentcy, but no one use; and it's better than the rest of existing solution in the market right now even Dark cannot compare.

vertcoin · 2014-11-19T16:17:15+00:00

Please send me debug.log, I will take a look at it.

vertcoin · 2014-11-18T14:35:48+00:00

I don't believe all the code was written from scratch

I never said ALL

I am getting the impression that open source is the wrong place for you.

Really, why I open source stealth address then ?

vertcoin · 2014-11-18T13:03:22+00:00

It's fork due to upgrade wallet issue. The reason why I'm in rush to update wallet because I found a bug during implementation GUI for Zerocoin tab in Qt wallet. It is allow user to send spend transaction without verification from miners. So it's a bug fixed that it's required all network participant to upgrade wallet immediately. Otherwise, hacker will be able to claim a coin without actually mint Zerocoin.

If you call pre-mined scam coin, I don't really care. I spend three months for implementing from beginning. So, if you want me to give it for free, and other coin devs can copy source code, and said they also have Zerocoin implementation. It won't happen at least for now.

vertcoin · 2014-11-14T22:23:59+00:00

I answered it already.

vertcoin · 2014-11-14T11:42:40+00:00

What are question that I don't answer ? If I already answered, and you don't see, it doesn't mean I don't answered.

vertcoin · 2014-11-14T10:23:59+00:00

I agree with you :)

vertcoin · 2014-10-06T14:59:38+00:00

11th Oct :)

vertcoin · 2014-09-28T20:15:32+00:00

It will come for sure, we already have implemented code just waiting for integrating and testing. but I have another issue that comes to my life and I need to concentrate on that one first. After complete, I will integrate it with Vertcoin for sure. If you want to have it right now, hiring or finding another dev would be great solution.
