It IS a great time to buy BTCD.  There's not much liquidity so even relatively small sells affect the price, and there are plenty of impatient people willing to sell a bit.

At the same time, I've just had to liquidate some (I dropped the price from ~0.01 to ~0.095 over the last few days).  I have to apologise for this.  It's not because I wanted out - far from it - but I had no choice.  Our site (cryptothrift.com) was hacked last weekend and our hot wallet emptied.  Having committed to covering the losses personally, it had to come out of my BTCD holdings.  Needless to say, I'm quite devastated on all counts.  Anyway, enjoy the cheap BTCD at least!

ouch
the recent BTC craziness also caused a liquidity crunch for a lot of people
seems just a few BTC will boost the price a lot, but I am waiting for it to keep coming down before I by it all up

Code looks great James!.  Keep up the great work!

teleport has been working between my servers for over a month, so as soon as I get things tweaked to working with SuperNET API, then it should work as well as it did between my servers. I still had to do accounting report API, but now that we have cloud storage, I want to automatically backup the telepods to the cloud. still recommend making USB backups, but I know how sometimes we forget to do the things we are supposed to.

the current issue is that the existing nodes dont accept the teleport tx, so we need to wait for a node running the latest version to stake a block. Once we update the installed base, this wont be an issue.

anyway, without a bigger network there is only so much I can do. I am glad the community is in big favor to funding these nodes, so lets get them going and paid for as soon as possible

James

I'm more than happy to deliver the funds to the appropriate party.  

Who will be stepping up and handing the running of the privacy servers?  Has this been determined yet?

Okay, so what's stopping me saving a 100 GB file?  Wouldn't that bring it all to a halt?

After everything was working ok, it now looks like I may have a corrupt file somehow?

Ah, that was in the google doc, which I followed as slavishly as I could. So you never need to sudo, just ./BitcoinDarkd & ?
I will try again. Thanks.
When I have got this right I will create some very straightforward documentation so that anyone can run a node from an old computer.

Yeah there's not so much buy support.

I have a feeling people will be regretting that soon
