    Im incredibly bullish on Crypto. Times like these get rid of so much hot air and purify the space. There isn't as much hype or drama or interference and as a result its a great time to be building and accumulating for the next run because the next run will blow your socks away.

    BCHABCash just deployed hard coded checkpoints without even a community discussion. This is literally everything Satoshi's Vision is opposed to. What a grand shitcoin

    Fuck Craig Wright and Bitcoin Cash for causing this downward spiral!!!

    Posted: 20 Nov 2018 05:45 PM PST

    Bcash supporters love to talk about how theirs is the true Bitcoin and how they're following Satoshi nakamoto's vision in his original white paper.

    Is this his vision? Fucking the entire market like a petulant child just because enough people didn't support your second hard fork?! I mean, you pissed and whined like a bunch of babies until you got your first hard fork, and then you couldn't get along amongst yourselves. What does that tell you?

    You are a giant douche Craig, and the fact that you're willing to screw everyone else over with this selfish "I'm taking my ball and going home" attitude simply proves it.

    Without a clear vision of the future, you'll never be confident in your decisions and you'll be less likely to make money.

    Posted: 21 Nov 2018 04:06 AM PST

    It can't be repeated enough, but I'll still try: the vast majority of projects will die. In fact, many already have, we just don't know because they've performed a 'soft exit': ICO funds are sold and development just stops.

    Excluding the scams, many projects are also trying very hard, but the odds are stacked against them. It's simple: a public distributed ledger with a cryptocurrency attached to it simply doesn't have that many valid use cases. Not only that, but the projects that do manage to find right markets will likely capture a big chunk, because of the network effect and the fact that people don't want to have to deal with dozens of 'currencies'.

    We're at the end of 2018, and I have seen no good discussion about a future of cryptocurrencies on this sub yet. Which industries will adopt it? How would a crypto-filled 2030 look like? Will we be authenticating most physical objects on a blockchain? Will blockchain replace most forms of ID, for people and objects?

    I see pseudo-inspirational tweets being posted, I see tribalism and I see news articles. Never anything about the vision, yet that should be this sub's purpose. Discuss the vision, and it will be crystal clear which projects have the best chance of survival, who their advocates really are and who's just here to shill.

    Thank bitcoin cash for triggering this bear market

    Posted: 20 Nov 2018 09:57 AM PST

    If anybody remembers back in december, bitcoin was sitting pretty over 19k at the very peak of the market until coinbase announced the listing of bitcoin cash on gdax, triggering a 2nd war between bitcoin and bitcoin cash. Bitcoin cash skyrocketed to 5k+ causing bitcoin to crash from 19k to 10k, driving down the rest of the market. This caused all the new people that just came in to panic, ultimately starting the entire mess of the market this year. Now we are back at it again with this stupid hash war and yet again the market has to suffer at the wrath of bcash. If you want to point fingers at anyone, it should be bitcoin cash. I firmly believe if bitcoin never forked in the first place, we wont be in this same situation now. Anyways this should be a lesson in the future as this market continues to mature.. forks causes detrimental issues, thus we should avoid it at all costs. Just my thoughts, fyi i fucking hate bcash

    NanoQuake Beta Launch (Quake2 Deathmatch + Nano) - come and play

    Posted: 20 Nov 2018 07:44 AM PST

    Hi /r/CC

    After a lot of work and many many rounds of Quake2 we are proud to announce the NanoQuake Beta launch:

    Summary:

    Play Quake2 Deathmatch with an inbuilt Nano Wallet, pay in and get rewards for kills and wins in realtime! Works on Windows, OS X, Linux.

    Details:

    What?

    NanoQuake is an implementation of Yamagi Quake 2 with Nano based transactions and customisations built in. We have a server running and you can compile the game/wallet on OS X, Linux or use our Windows Build. For more information see below and please join the The Nano Center Discord and come to the #quake-2-discussion. While we have been testing and developing this for a number of weeks please be aware that it is still a beta, we would be grateful for any feedback - also please only play with small amounts of Nano that you are able to afford to lose (currently server buy in is 0.1Nano).

    Links

    Why Quake2?

    • It's free to download
    • You can play multiplayer with the demo content files
    • Its open source with an up to date client (yquake2) and also is quite well documented
    • It runs on Windows, Linux and OS X
    • Doesn't require too much power

    Why Nano?

    Because Nano is feeless and fast it's ideal for small in-game payouts. It's also surprisingly easy to integrate into a system.

    How Does Nano Fit In?

    The server which hosts the game has its own Nano account and each player pays into this account (currently set to a 0.1 Nano buy-in). For each kill you gain a reward of Nano and the winners take the rest of the remaining jackpot: 1st gets 60%, 2nd gets 30% and 3rd gets 10%. 100% of funds paid are redistributed back to players, for more details see the NanoQuake FAQ.

    The quake2 server therefore tracks this server account as well as does the payouts (it uses the dPoW system to provide the necessary PoW to make these payouts near instant).

    The quake2 client has its own python based light wallet, it generates a seed and an account which you top up with funds (say 0.5 Nano), you can then use in game console commands to pay your buy in fee (pay_nano) and check your balance (nano_balance) - communication between the game and the wallet is via sockets (the wallet has a socket server).

    You don't need to pay to play in the games however you only get a payout if you've paid in.

    How have you done it?

    We've gone into the Quake2 source code and inserted variables and commands to manage the nano_address details as well as a socket client using the inbuilt socket library which can then communicate with an adjacent python script - this allows the nano hashing etc... to be written in python. It's not particularly clean but it works well and gets the job done. An earlier version of the client integrated QR codes by hijacking the scoreboard but we've dropped this in favour of the light wallet.

    What about legal stuff?

    Firstly by taking part in the Beta this is at your own risk, it is experimental work and there is a chance that you might lose your pay in Nano. We are still exploring the legal elements of this concept and have reached out to various organisations for advice, Quake2 is a game of skill and so we feel it falls under the remit of an e-sport with an entry fee (in some ways NanoQuake is an automated e-sport tournament), there is no gambling/betting in the system. The NanoQuake server does not take a cut of the jackpot, all funds are distributed when the round ends (unless everyone quits, then the funds roll over).

    What's next?

    The system still needs a lot of testing, we've got plans to move over from a console based interface for the wallet to a simple GUI to make things easier. NanoQuake is a proof of concept and if successful we'd love to explore integration of Nano into other games - if you are interested please get in touch.

    I need help!

    Please join the The Nano Center Discord and head to the #quake-2-discussion channel.
