I don't like the name as it stands. I'll just let that out.

However I can understand why they wouldn't want to allocate resources into a name and image change where they could better allocate that time to tech development.

In Peter Thiel's book Zero to One, he basically doesn't invest in tech CEOs who wear suits as they are usually clever businessmen trying to dress up a weak product. They found that the strongest products come from the kid in the hoodie.

Therefore, the name "Groestl" is our hoodie in a crypto sea of suits.

This is definitely a bad thing. As a new user it made me very confused when trying to pick one. I couldn't be sure if I was picking a real or a scam wallet.

As a new user their download page is equally confusing http://www.groestlcoin.org/downloads/ . It has a long list of things to download on different platforms. They all seem very similar, but their are no descriptions or guidance about which one I want, just a product icon.

Fantastic that so much development effort has been put in, but it really needs to be consolidated, or at least provide some help with picking which wallet or tool to download.

its a standard reddit AmA. there will be a thread on this reddit where you can ask questions. the dev team will answer them.

The coins are sent to him. When did he install the wallet? Is this the wallet he installed: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hashengineering.groestlcoin.wallet

His android wallet needs to finish syncing before the balance will appear. He can check the progress from: menu - networkmonitor - blocks

Having read this thread, I just searched for a 'screen translation' program so it works for apps as well as text inside web browsers (ie. so if there's a standalone QQ app you can install, this software project seems to suggest it'd give you automated language translation if you kept its target rectangle over the pertinent area of your screen as you chatted with exchange support folks).

I found a project that's being maintained and may suit this purpose:

Screen Translator - Screen capture, OCR and translation tool https://sourceforge.net/projects/screen-translator/

Download page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/screen-translator/files/bin/v2.0.1/

I downloaded the Offline version and selected all supported languages during the install, which adds about 1.25GB to the installation size! That's running now, so when it's done I'll test it with one of my LOTE apps (Languages Other Than English) and we'll see how it does. I'll report back.

Regarding YoBTC, I have no current passport and am not in China, so I wonder how I'd go with this exchange. Probably not great!

Edit. the translation software has promise but it isn't slick or convenient to use, yet. At least, not in the 5 or 7 minutes I gave it during a test run. I'll keep tooling around with it and will post back with more if I have news.

‘Let's just call it 'The Big Split.' Going one way, countries like Sweden and Vanuatu and Japan integrating cryptos. Going the other way, countries like China and South Koread and Nepal and Russia banning/constraining cryptos.’

But of course it’s not that simple . . .

Check out ‘NuShares,’ a pegged-crypto run by the Peercoin community -- https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/nushares/

And there’s Tether. And NZed.

The issue of ‘pegged’ cryptos (of various types) really interests me. I was a journalist in Indonesia in the late 90’s, when the Government tried to stop the economy from collapsing by pegging the rupiah. It went horribly wrong before our eyes in a matter of only weeks.

Research the ‘SDR.’ And here’s the tl;dr:

Quantitative Easing is a mammoth and continuing failure, and a range of increasingly desperate measures will be implemented, to try to keep the game going. The IMF’s SDR will be a biggie, in league with Guvvy Inflato-Token. Biggie Corp Coin will be a player.

So, while some countries go pro-crypto, and some go anti-crypto, there will be, at right-angles to all this, the growing reality of ‘free’ and tethered instruments/their exchanges/their markets.

This makes pretty good reading down to where we are. There are some Bitcoin Namey coins, and some new coins; but apart from those, it's an insight to see Peercoin, Namecoin, I/O, and us that are holding their ground.

Here they are! https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/ It's strange to me that the Bitcoin fork is pushing the price up. Whatever, I'll be posting articles about events as often as I can. I sure am genuinely pleased to be picking up GRS where ever I can.

[Got a reply, from an IT guy, at our Lounge Room:

''pen testing' is network security testing. it covers technical and social aspects of locating and securing weak points in a network. as well as testing for unsecured network ports or buggy applications that allow 'backdoor' entry, it also tests staff protocols. a common test is to drop a few nondescript usb flash drives around the staff car park in the hope a staff member will pick one up and insert it into a work computer. their curiosity will get it inserted and then the hidden malware will do its thing on the network.' ]

Lots of questions! I suggest you and others interested in this come and bail me up at: http://www.groestlcoin.org

The POW-POS thing has absorbed me for years, and requires elaboration. Ditto the related inflation thing. Ditto the price fluctuation.

First Thought: the notion that POS currencies are just better is just not settled. My outfit has indeed swung (over years) in its position on this. But -- perhaps to our surprise -- we have returned to POWs.

So it doesn't actually matter which hash (sha or groestl) is used for the second stage ?

If both of these are 'old' (the one I was calling 'new' is the one linked at groestlcoin.org downloads ) do you have a link for the new one ?

Cheers :)
