What are /r/nanocurrency's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

you and your facts, guy.

I guess they use a wallet like this one ? : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zapsolutions.strike

$25 limit every two weeks .. plus KYC .. hmm, doesn't sound like the good olde-fashun Bitcoin our libertarian grandmas told us about.

Is there any danger of revoking received deposits? We are an exchange that supports fiat purchase of NANO (https://n.exchange) and we were never contacted. We are planning to implement support for selling NANO in exchange for fiat, please be more communicative in the future. How do we prevent this situation in the future?

I'd recommend spreading NOWPayments as the best way of accepting crypto, since they have nano automatically enabled as an option.

While Bitpay, which doesn't have nano integration, has a score of 1.5 on Trustpilot. For a large part because of unexpected transaction fees.

How to add NANO to coinbase in two simple steps:

1. Install Coinbase https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinbase.android
2. Put 1 star and comment "We need NANO" on Google Play

They don't give fuck about comments on reddit, but rating on Google Play is very important (bad rating - no traffic, no money for Coinbase)

It's a peer to peer bitcoin exchange. This is the first decentralized exchange to support Nano. You can now exchange Nano with bitcoin without needing a centralized exchange such as Binance, kucoin, etc and funds are always in your control. You can also exchange bitcoin for fiat using bisq. Check out their FAQ https://bisq.network/faq/.

EDIT: PS, Another big thanks to u/n9Mtq4 for making this happen!

I am the author of accept-nano. We use it at put.io for more than 2 years to accept payments and it worked well for us so far. The biggest advantage is not paying any fees to a 3rd party.

In the meantime you can play with Canoe on Android (sure, we still call it beta, but it's quite a lot more than a beta):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.getcanoe.canoe

Sorry, couldn't resist. But don't trust me, read the reviews!

Businesses could incentivize customers to pay with Nano by offering a small discount. Payments processors take around 3% + $0.25 cents per transaction. You also have to deal with the risk of chargebacks which you get hit with a $15 fee and you lose the money from the transaction.

Customers crave easy of use and a better user experience when paying. Apple / Google have solved one of my biggest UX hatreds of Fiat money which is the fact I have to carry cash or a credit card with me at all times. Eventually there will be a day where all we carry is our phone. I don't think we are at the point yet where it is easier to use Nano then it is to use Apple Pay but I know we are going to get there. In addition there is a trend that is happening in the cryptocurrency space which is custodianship. Custodianship is the idea that the average user is too stupid to handle their own money so they need a bank to handle their money. I personally disagree with this idea but if this takes off, which it will, these custodians will offer the same type of rewards that your Visa, Mastercard, or American Express offer.

Your concern is valid.

However, having sufficient bandwidth is a challenge hard to master for most home internet connections. All other hardware requirements can be dealt with at home.

It would for sure help to have the PR at lots different hosting providers.
I was made aware of this offer recently: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax41-nvme so you can have beefy nodes at not overly big costs outside AWS, DO, you name it.

Nano To The Moon - Android Game

Houston, we have a liftoff! ��

Nano To The Moon game is now available to download free from Google Play, powered by Unity3D.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nanoto.themoon

It's actually surprisingly easy.

You can use Changenow to exchange many cryptocurrencies into Nano: https://changenow.io/?from=btc&to=nano. So let's say you buy BTC on Coinbase, you can then exchange that directly into Nano.

What you'll need is your Bitcoin on Coinbase, and a Nano wallet to keep your Nano in. I would recommend Natrium. When you've downloaded Natrium, grab some free Nano from https://nano-faucet.org/ first, to make sure you understand how to input your address correctly and such, and then perhaps try with a smaller amount on Changenow first.

Either way that should be a pretty easy way! If it isn't clear, I hope someone else can help you out!

Yes, most of these things we are well aware of in Canoe. As Tyler writes here, we had super cool aliases working well - but we want to make it better before releaseing that - and we want to sync with the others. Meta data on transactions is somehing I want to add to Canoe (a note about what it was). I am also well aware of WeChat in China doing the same (marrying social and payments) and Status.im is also working in this direction.

Pop in on our discord and help us prioritize and test etc.

Can second Kraken as TripllBubbl said, another option might be swapping for Nano. If you manage to retrieve some Monero from the deep ocean you could for example use Changenow or SwapSwop. I don't know what the fees are like, but at least there's no need to register there.

If you download WeNano, you can see a list of businesses accepting it :) There's also quite some websites and such accepting it - for an example, see https://put.io/ where they actually give a hefty discount for Nano payments.

Last time i used bcash was about 3 weeks ago, it was also my first time. I wanted to use something other than ETH just for the fuck of it. https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/de7536440bc7b11e7095e940e7283b3ad53b721b15ead80227e9fb8b28fbf664

it took about 2 hours to get the confirmations and get it deposited on my binance account:

https://i.imgur.com/cm62T2F.jpg

And I never used it ever again. I'm not calling you a liar OP, i'm just showing you how networks that rely on global block consensus are highly unpredictable and wildly inconsistent. In my case it wasn't a binance issue, it legit took about an hour to get the first confirmation on the block explorer, THAT IS FUCKING CRAZY. I have never waited more than a few seconds to wait for Nano to be confirmed on the explorer. While you might have had a good experience now, I guarantee you this experience is not consistant. Nano's pure p2p infrastructure guarantees a consistantly near instant speed because the two transacting accounts aren't bogged down by having to wait for every ledger to record them on a public blockchain. That is the inherent difference

I'm a developer.

I have done some android apps in the last few years. Some samples:

• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.hakkon.scbracket
• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.hakkon.pufpuf.android

Someone who works at put.io here. Let me try to explain what it is: Put.io is a service that downloads things for you. You get a private personal online space and whatever you want downloaded, magically materialises there. You can then send it to your mobile devices, stream-boxes, Chromecasts etc. It works with countless video sites, torrents and most publicly available files.

We have been accepting BTC since 2013, and /u/cenka here is our lead developer. He is very enthusiastic about Nano. After asking for a Nano merchant solution here, he decided to take matters into his own hands and built this payment gateway. He plans to opensource it next week.

An iPhone 6 takes 10.5 Wh to fully charge and the average retail price of electricity in the United States is around $0.12 kWh. This means the cost to fully charge the phone from 0% is roughly $0.00126 USD.

What other currency will allow you to charge fractions of a cent and still be an economical transaction? Are you going to split a penny into 1/8ths? Use a digital form of fiat and pay a processing fee higher than the charge itself? Use another cryptocurrency which will still have fees that become relatively large compared to the purchase?

The fees is 0.5%. https://changenow.io/faq

They claim to offer the best available rate but that's clearly not the case right now. Wonder where they're getting it from.

I read an article that had said that nano was 5-10 seconds and that xrp was 3-5. I just googled and this article confirms what’s you’re saying. I guess what I read was really outdated, so thank you for setting me straight!

Nano actually becomes more energy-efficient with more transactions, a bit counterintuitive.

The energy used by the principal reps does not change much between the network idling and the network being congested. Thus, the energy usage per transaction is most efficient when the network is congested and at capacity.

I spent some time reaching out to rep operators to get detailed information about the CPU they use to calculate the power usage. Right now it is estimated to be 2.86 kWh (view on nano.community). That is less than what two 4 slice bread toasters consume (assuming they ran perpetually).

Many items and systems in the average home use more electricity than what the nano network uses. Even at global scale, the nano network's energy usage would be microscopic (100-400 reps on high-end CPUs).

Thanks for the feedback, u/AmbitiousPhilosopher!

We try to be as transparent as possible, that's why we included all the info regarding the liquidation in the FAQ right in the Loans interface: https://changenow.io/premium/loans

We will surely look into ways of making it more obvious from the get-go! Thanks again, we really appreciate it.

I think Coinbase for litecoin, then changenow.io (litecoin to nano) might be a good solution. Some people seem to have had good experiences with AnchorUSD in NY too, but that's a newer service so use at your own risk.

After reading Kings of Crypto, I believe the actual reason why Coinbase doesn't list Nano is simply laziness and/or incompetence to learn how to integrate new tokens that aren't ERC20 or Bitcoin forks. The way they let Binance steal so much marketshare due to complacency is amazing.

Hey! It doesn't mean you can't purchase crypto at all, luckily. It just means those states don't allow you to use Binance to purchase crypto. They generally do allow you to use other crypto exchanges, like Coinbase and Gemini, because they have special permits or something of the sort.

To buy Nano in those states, the easiest way tends to be to have a Coinbase account, buy XLM (Stellar) on there, and then use a swap service like Changelly to swap it into Nano. It sounds more complicated than it is, but if you need help I'll help walk you through it.

Also paging /u/qwahzi as our Texan resident to check whether he knows an easier way nowadays.

Is it country-locked, language not supported, or does Iran block certain apps?

I'm not familiar with the situation, but if it's country-locked or your ISP blocks it, then you can probably download it with a VPN like ExpressVPN or ProtonVPN (If you like decentralized!).

Coinbase is a load of trash. They've just listed another hot air ICO scam coin called Celo.

Once they've FATF regulations come into force and put an end to all of these things, people are coming looking for Nano.

Rebase went well. We received a good portion of the bounty for it. The web wallet I abandoned since the original bounty offer was abandoned.

Since all of my game development is done commercially, all of my github repos are private. However, I do have a game with over 200,000 downloads on google play built in Unity with over 50,000 lines of C sharp code. Do note, this is just one of several game dev companies I own/operate.

Feel free to check it out.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blckadvent.skyblock

I’d also like to note that the version that’s live on google play has a handful of known bugs. Most of which have been fixed. But I’m in the middle of a major overhaul of my Voxel engine. So once that’s done, I’ll be releasing updates for iOS and Android.

Between all of my games/apps across all platforms/companies I have accumulated in excess of 2.5 million downloads.

Unfortunately for the giving block we have to wait for gemini to accept nano before they will :/

Another way of showing Bitpay that nano would be a positive experience for their users is Bitpay’s trustpilot score. Trustpilot is a website often used to identify if websites and services are legitimate or scams. Bitpay has an exceptionally bad Trustpilot score of 1.4. Less than 5% of the total reviews is positive. 5% of the reviews give Bitpay an average score and a whopping 90% of 130 reviews are negative. One of the main complaints in these reviews are the unexpected fees that appear when trying to pay. Bitpay has a standard fee of 1% for every transaction, this is their profit margin and such a foreseen cost is often included in the cost of the products by the merchant. But cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin require transaction fees to be paid. These transaction fees are not included in the cost of the products, they are variable and appear at the customer’s checkout experience. This puts the customer in an uncomfortable position, and often deters them from proceeding with the transaction.

Nano, however, solves this issue by not requiring any transaction fees. Thus, the customer is not presented with any unforeseen costs, improving the customers checkout experience.

Edit: These messages you wrote are awesome btw! Are you planning to send them out?

In Venezuela you almost always have to change the cryptocurrencies to local currency, unless you are dealing with a person who is already dedicated to promoting cryptos. Businesses that accept cryptocurrencies are few. That tries to revert the Bitcoin Cash community with the #GastaBCH initiative, at least in relation to the adoption of that cryptocurrency.

The Venezuelan community around Nano (I do not know how big it is) could coordinate similar actions. They could begin to organize using Meetup.com.

I feel ya man. I personally feel that not having a redundant and scalable backend setup for the production release, and then failing to adequately communicate the issue is a huge fuckup on the team's part. They MUST step up and be professionals if they want to see this project succeed.

I would recommend trying canoe wallet: It is an open source community project, and a joy to use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.getcanoe.canoe

> I do not understand the first question.

What I mean is: Sufficient abstraction of the CURLing, but not hard-coding all the actions and parameters, since they change every other week.

>They are separate calls.

Well, the second call doesn't really do anything more than calling the other call. While on the other hand, if I simply need to get a public key, I probably don't want to do all the blake2b checks again, because account verification is a different use-case than retrieving the public key - it will probably already be checked by the time you convert it, because you'd have to handle wrong user input beforehand.

>Horrible experience in nanopy or Decimal in some other code? In the library, I've set precision to 40.

I experimented with the plain Decimal library. Here's an example: https://repl.it/repls/EntireEdibleKilobyte I will let myself inspire by your implementation.

>I wrote this script just because I want more people to expose their rpc.

Yes. I have a similar script, written in PHP. I just think it's a common use-case to distinguish between the public and the owner who may want to be able to have extended access to wallet-related or dangerous commands, especially from different remote hosts (without having to mess with firewalls). I categorized all RPC actions on https://nanoo.tools/rpc-commands-list

PSA: Please don't trust this blindly and start storing your seeds / critical data with this unless the author shares the source code since he claims it's open source.

An alternative is https://keepass.info/ which has years of development and open source code

Good idea

This is now adoption can be targeted. We can reach out to all businesses and online stores that accept Bitcoin/Ethereum etc.

Maybe we can next target VPN companies like HideMyAss or NordVPN who all accept BTC

Oh, I think I got it completely wrong then. I thought you took the linked stock image and altered it, but as it turns out, you only copied the composition and built your image from scratch.

In this case, you're absolutely right, copying an image composition is definitely not a copyright infringement. If it were, 80% of stock images would be illegal :-)

So if you have an account on any stock websites, please go ahead and publish it there. At the moment there really aren't any good stock images for nano coins (see here: https://www.shutterstock.com/search/nano+coin).

I haven't used n.exchange - do you mean the 0.5% service fee? Anyway, there's nothing like that on CoinFalcon and all of their fees are listed here . Short version for Nano - no maker fee, taker fee 0.2%, free withdrawals and deposits.

Edit: Just the EUR deposit fee of 1€, could be seen as a convenience fee I guess

Nano faucet has in intern Error at the moment. It's occuring to everybody. You should try all the other ba-nano faucets and games to get some free stuff or buy some while the prices are so low, for example at CoinEx here

True. I just appreciate that they're trying ~~instead~~ to build something using the Nano logo instead of just using it.

Something more obviously linked like Elementary OS's community logo could be better.

https://elementary.io/brand

You can use either AppImage or the zip. How to use the signature file - just read down below on the download page. The signature file is optional, you download it and use it to verify that the binary (zip or AppImage) is legitimately signed by me/us.

An AppImage behaves like AppImages behave, see:

https://appimage.org

(if you browse down a bit it says "How to run an AppImage")

The zip you can just unzip somewhere, and then run "canoe" inside it.

> Are you able to take any off the top for support costs? If adopted, a small cut for you would help scale/promote/sustain. It’s not clear how this would work based on your post.

Indeed we can. That is the plan for later. For now, while we're testing everything and building up the network we're doing this for free to keep costs down for buyers and profits up for sellers.

> You do kinda wonder if there’s a way for a central agent to package the deal so it’s not only left to end users - perhaps that’s what your service will do - sell packages in addition to creating the technical capacity for those packages to exist. The reason people use Free VPN is because ease of use, and maybe not knowing what FreeVPN is doing behind the scenes.

For sure. We're also planning on building a cheap VPN service on top of the Nanowire backbone at some point that is really user friendly (like ExpressVPN for example), but we encourage others to experiment with the same concept. Still need to work out the finer details of this though - a lot of VPN providers are really cheap, so we'll need to figure out a way to stay price competitive if offering such a service. At the moment we're really price competitive with the proxy providers, but not as much for the single-consumer side of things. Perhaps in the future people will be able to offer their bandwidth for a price of their choosing and we can select from the cheapest providers. Either way we'll figure something out that works well. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for update, nice to see progress on Unreal plugin and Kappture utilizing NFC.

About NFC, isn’t it already added to Natrium for android? >With functionality expected to be added to the public app soon

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.banano.natriumwallet&hl=en

• What's New
  • Ability to read NANO URIs via NFC

It seems going with the lower limit might be a risk worth taking. DO doesn't throttle bandwidth or charge if you exceed the limit, but if it is abused they might get in touch with you and ask you to upgrade. In the particular response I was reading, a mod from DO gave an example of exceeding bandwidth by 10-20x before they might reach out to the customer.

I'm not aware of any way to do it in a trustless way.
One could imagine a company, that hands out NANO in exchange of BTC.
Changenow basically allows that already, but with a second step - you have to trade the USDT or USDC you receive (for your BTC collateral) for NANO.

Well, I've been thinking about starting an annual or bi-annual "change your rep day" to jump start decentralization, but for raw adoption it might be harder.

We really need to get a foothold in Asia, and with the recent news about China's chokehold on Bitcoin and the possible effects it may have on the ecosystem as a whole, it's imperative we start broadcasting viable alternatives to Bitcoin. If the Nano community can make an effort to create educational and helpful information on the benefits of Nano, and translate that to Korean and Japanese we could jump start new adoption ourselves.

I think a looping Progress Bar gif that we could use in publicity would be nice

• Range 0 - 1000 milliseconds
• Runs in realtime.
• Default colour Grey.
• Legends in Nunito font.
• Turns Nano's Light Blue at 650ms onwards

Anyone else like that idea?

From https://www.dash.org/

>Dash is accepted globally by businesses of all shapes and sizes. Our low fees and instant transaction time make Dash the preferred method of payment around the world.

I'm too lazy to search for more. This was my first guess and I leave it at that.

The procedure is very simple. If you're on windows:

• Download and install https://nodejs.org/en/
• Open a Windows cmd with Windows+R and type cmd
• Type npm install -g nanocurrency
• Type nanocurrency generate seed

Now, if you want to make sure you're seed is truly "safe", you will want to use an offline computer, to review the code you're running, etc., which is a totally different topic, that can indeed be a good topic for a YouTube video.

Just looking at their list of supported coins, the amount of junk there is staggering...and unfortunately Nano might be buried under that pile of trash. I mean what the hell is BCHC (Bitcoin Clashic) or BTCC (some scam listed as Bicoin Core ?!)

I tried to make a subscription on put.io but got no option to pay with Nano Accept. Is it still enabled?

Edit: I had to deselect the 'recurring' option for Nano Accept to appear! Kool design!

Celo has transaction fees and it isn't instant to my knowledge. Nano offers a better user experience and has a massive community building tools for Nano adoption. Check out the Nalli wallet for Nano to send Nano using phone numbers:)

It's a mobile NANO wallet with great additional features like a map on which you can create spots or collect payouts from them (if you're within the proximity as defined by spot creation) and the last update introduced spotchat, a kind of messenger that allows people who enter a spot chat in a kind of open forum assigned to the spot.

Give it a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tipanano.WeNanoLight

What country do you live in? The best wallet in my opinion is the Natrium wallet.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.banano.natriumwallet

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/natrium/id1451425707

The free plan has some restrictions and paid plans are available for more features. They have stated before that the mail service is not very profitable because many people expect it to be free. This is why they are also offering other services like ProtonVPN and in the future ProtonDrive. These are services people are used to pay for and will provide most of the income.

The transaction is confirmed. The receive block just needs to be published. Is the destination wallet yours?

If so just download and set up a wallet from one of the links in the sidebar. I recommend NanoWebWallet, NanoVault, Canoe(https://getcanoe.io/) or the official Android wallet (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.nano.nanowallet).

I don't know. I feel that some tools can simply remain unprofitable. I heavily believe in the FOSS mindset--many useful tools may be contributed on by many people, without an intent to make profit. For example, Bitcoin wallet Electrum is a very popular open-source wallet. I find open-source projects to actually be more trustworthy, and less obnoxious as they won't usually implement ads, upgrades, etc. Their end-goal is to be a useful and effective tool--not to make money. I will almost always prefer an ad-free, open-source wallet as opposed to a proprietary one. Now, of course as a community we should encourage businesses to open. But I don't think everything has to be a business.

You're right. Now I have to edit that in a ton of articles.. Haha.

https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-Deep-Dive-into-Bitcoin-Mining-Pools%3A-An-Empirical-Romiti-Judmayer/169526e7d219bb13da93f4d1a43144856b3f9485 works.

No, Stellar is not centralized. Anyone can host a validator node.

> Stellar has no owner; if anything it’s owned by the public. The software runs across a decentralized, open network and handles millions of transactions each day. Like Bitcoin and Ethereum, Stellar relies on blockchain to keep the network in sync, but the end-user experience is more like cash—Stellar is much faster, cheaper, and more energy-efficient than typical blockchain-based systems. 1

> Don't really trust Jed being that he started Mt. Gox and Ripple.

I get where you're coming from. But I tend to not trust people in general. I trust technology, though.

Nano has relatively low correlation to Bitcoin, compared to other coins.

Many coins will follow BTC's rises and falls, and while Nano does so...it does it to a smaller degree.

You can see the data here: https://cryptowat.ch/correlations

Title potentially misleading. The new app lets you add a bank account as a payment method for instant, direct buys of crypto. Strictly speaking this is not the same as depositing and withdrawing from your bank account. Even in the new app, wire is still the only option for deposit and withdrawal of USD, for example. What's more, instant buy fees apply to exchanges. Still a worthwhile feature nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice work indeed!

But because you altered a copyright protected source image, I guess that completely rules out commercial usage of your work, and maybe even editorial usage (blog posts etc.), but I'm not sure about that.

here's the original rf image: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-illustration/shiny-silver-ripple-xrp-concept-coin-1022427295?src=kdL_mbaiv-vqUlimyefVYg-1-5)

How IPFS works is a bit out of scope, but here is some information about it: https://ipfs.io/#how

You can store any data you want, but the IPFS nodes have a garbage collection going on. So any file you store on it will be gone after some time if nobody queries for it.

If you have Coinbase, easiest way is to buy XLM, then use a swap service like Changelly.

And obviously to contact them to please add Nano, haha. That'd make all our lives a lot easier :)

Also: welcome! Awesome to hear that post brought you here.

I'll have to check out that video when I get a chance. I'm sure this is pretty similar but I'll link it cuz it's good

Agreed, that's annoying. Is this your first time buying crypto? I don't have much experience with Kraken myself, but just wondering what the other damn thing you need to sign up for is.

If you already have another crypto or can get your hands on USDC, an often recommended route that should be quite easy is getting USDC, USDT, or some crypto, then going to Changenow and swapping it there.

Let me know whether that helps, if not I'll try to help you out some other way.

Agreed - but I've sometimes been in DMs with people on Twitter or Facebook where I wanted to send them a link (a la https://wallet.bitcoin.com/payment/), so for me it would be ideal. Not sure whether more people want it though and how much effort it is - I just know it would be great for me personally :)

Without making account it'll be difficult. There are changing services like changelly (https://changelly.com/), but then you'd need to own other crypto.

If you're okay making an account, I've found Bitvavo to be really easy.

I'm a full time designer for a AAA video game studio, tell me, where in the book of good design where does it recommend using a nondescript geometric logo for your currency branding?

Take a look at the worlds currency symbols.

https://www.xe.com/symbols.php

If Nano is a currency then it should be identified that way so it can be marketed that way. The current logo would be good for a biotech company, not for a currency.

OpenCart is another e-commerce alternative you could use. I built the free Brainblocks plugin.

Shameless promotion, you could also use my Coinbase Commerce plugin if you also want to accept Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin

https://put.io/ it is like your downloads folder but on their servers. you can use it as a seedbox etc. you can download lots of things from various places to your put.io account and use it in cross platforms.

Can you please elaborate on the purpose of put.io? It says it's not a backup service or syncing service, but then it says it's more like a remote version of /downloads. I'm failing to understand the difference between those two things? Is it basically a seedbox?

Also agree with others re design. Both sites could do with some design work.

For sure. I am just looking at the FATF proposals and this new Digital Asset Bill and there's no concern just yet for cryptocurrency basic peer to peer transactions.

It is going to be a major issue for stablecoins, privacy coins and anything that gets tagged as a 'Digital Asset Security'.

Coins like Solana or Celo are already registered SEC securities. I would expect that Nano will be a 'Digital Asset Commodity' due to no ICO, no governance and no yield incentives, but it's not yet clear.

You can develop something similar to Celo () A.K.A NanoDollar that keeps the market value of $/Eur and you can have your nano seperate on your wallet and when you need to pay for something you could convert it on the spot so the local currency and pay with it.. if we get this adoption then it will be huge for the nano community as it is feeless and has lots of potential.

I already do... I currently make about $180 in donations a month for the private node, so it's only costing me about $40/mo.

Also, a plethora of low quality nodes will not help, but actually hurt the network transaction speeds as it's taking several seconds for your node, with inferior hardware, to execute PoW.

Additionally, you don't have to go crazy to get a good working node. Something like an NVIDIA Jetson nano would be excellent for NANO nodes.

Host them in your home, and use your network firewall to open them up to the clearnet. Use a free DynDNS provider to connect a domain name to your local network IP and boom. Cheap NANO node.

I built an app that stops phone spam calls. It gives people a Nano account attached to their phone number. It automatically sends all non-contacts calls to voicemail and pays them a bit of Nano.

So, I agree 100% with what this original post says. My way of getting non-crypto folks to try Nano is by giving them an app that solves phone spam calls.

> average mainstream user just wants to make a payment or two and will absolutely never care about any delegates or anything.

I don't see the disconnect here? New Nano users do not have to do anything. Services that build on top of Nano handle this for them.

For example, I built a phone spam blocker that assigns Nano Accounts to phone numbers and allows/blocks unknown phone numbers based on how much Nano they have. I take the burden of assigning reps off of the user by just defaulting all new Nano accounts to vote for my rep. If I get too bloated, I'll move future delegations to another rep I trust.

I also built an lead-gen app that increased cold call pick-up rate by 100%. It paid random people $0.50/minute to talk with me. My lead-gen app assigned each of these random phone numbers a Nano address and then paid them after the phone call. I made their Nano addresses vote for my RoboCash rep. The people talking to me had no idea they were even using Nano, but they got paid regardless.

If you scroll down my phone's Nano account, you can see all the outbound phone calls/payouts I made last month.

Have you seen Kalium wallet for banano? Is it a fork of canoe?

Are you confident that NOS is;

• A) A genuine effort and not a scam
• B) Likely to succeed

I know you said "don't ask me how it works" but many people will lose money if they buy a 'stablecoin' which crashes. As developers of a very solid, reliable wallet many people see you as nano experts - and thus anything you support is implicitly seen as similarly solid and reliable. Nos might be a great project with competent developers which will succeed, or it could crash destroying the wealth of many people. Personally I do not endorse anything which I do not have a solid understanding of (in this space) because of the high risk of scams/failure which would cause people to lose money.

Anyway, that's just my $0.02, thanks for building a great wallet.

I can agree. I installed Canoe on my Nexus 5x, and it is a wonderful pice of software. Android user can install it directly from Google play here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.getcanoe.canoe

Can't comment on Nanovault as I haven't used it. But you can import your seed into one of the other wallets like Nanowallet.io or the mobile wallet.

u/Koba7. In Brazil, although many believe in technology and the Nano team, what most excited us was the increase of four consecutive days in the CoinMarketCap, I made a table that I found interesting to show the Nanozers: Data CoinMarketCap

• We have the "Paper Wallet Nano" designs by Vitor "u/vcremonez", which will soon be with the new version v3.1.0 https://vitorcremonez.github.io/nano-paper-wallet/, made to store and give of birthday.

• And the "Nanohub" App from Thiago, a wonderful app for to see your Nano value, available on the Google Play Store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thiagosalper.cotacaoraiblocks Thank you so much

How long ago did you switch to v11 or v12? Start counting a month since that date.

Can you see the 'transfer' column? Anything above that limit costs $10 per 1TB

DO will show you how much traffic you used only after they bill you for that. You must install, for example, vnstat to see your traffic usage. Google 'vnstat ubuntu'

Edit: forgot to say you're charged for outgoing traffic only. This is the TX column in vnstat output.

So the key with solar is to over resource for what you are doing, in this case my fpga setup draws probably 5-10W in total but I’ve got 240W of panel and a largish battery - i live in a fairly north country well know for its rain and clouds.

If you want to run something similar and charge a laptop/phone etc there are some fairly good deals on Amazon. If you can locate second hand etc you’ll save a lot of money, solar is very popular right now so prices have gone up.

This is a good start: ECO-WORTHY 120W Solar Panel Kit Off-Grid System: 120W 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel with 30A Charge Controller + Solar Cables + Mounting Brackets for Motorhome RV Boat Shed Camping https://amzn.eu/d/7aszCmS

I got similar and then was able to get my battery from a local battery shop who had a pallet of returns that never got used, got a 90Ah one for £20 which I think is a great deal.

Probably CoinEx. It doesn't require KYC, has ok fees and sells nano :)

If you want to you can use my referrallink here for CoinEx.

Some tips I see floated to a lot of new Nano users and absolutely agree with:

1. Do not keep your nano on exchanges unless you are trying to sell them for some reason or convert them over to another asset. Do a search for "Bitgrail" in our history and you will see a lot of wallets and dreams ruined by one bad actor in the market. #neverforget Francisco Firano you dog-ass piece of shit.
2. If you can't remove your tokens from the exchange then you didn't buy shit. I don't know what crypto.com and Robinhood.com are actually selling people but if you aren't the custodian over the token then they gave you moonbeams and dreams for your money. There are lots of good exchanges like coinbase and binance to buy your crypto so don't fall victim to one of these speculation centers. Besides, the crypto can't grow if you can't use the money as money.
3. Use it. Don't just hoard it. It is so tempting to hodl hodl hodl and people lambast the guy that bought a pizza with 11k BTC but if he and others like him didn't use BTC as money it never would have grown. I know some people groan when it comes to hearing about crypto but its word of mouth and us using it as its intended that grows awareness and adoption.
4. Its okay to take profits. We aren't to the point where Nano can pay for groceries. I believe we will be there some day. Maybe 2 years, maybe 15 years. I don't know, but I do know that you have to take care of yourself and live. Being glued to a price ticker isn't healthy and certainly won't make the value go up.
5. Welcome to the space. We're glad to have you. Your new opinions and insights will help us grow just as much as any veterans can help answer your fundamentals questions. You are welcome here and we want to hear from you. You are part of our community now. Enjoy it!

Interesting.

The same thought the Savedroid founder

https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/04/19/savedroid-ico-not-gone/

And it backfired terribly.

Umm I think you got some technical terms mixed up. 51% absolutely destroys the security of any coin. In Bitcoin it only takes 51% of the hashing power, meaning miner hardware. Yet we know that 78% of miners locate in China (source in a paper by Princeton researchers linked below). And Chinese government has the absolute power and motivation to destroy Bitcoin if Bitcoin ever threatens the RMB. It would cost a lot less than a billion for China to attack Bitcoin unfortunately since the gov doesn’t have to purchase miners themselves.

So on one hand it takes lots of money to stall Nano network but doesn’t affect the security at all. On the other hand a powerful totalitarian state can destroy Bitcoin’s security if they choose to. I would feel a lot safer to bet on a coin with less threat from China.

I will break it down. Say a public Nano mixer is created. Lets also suppose a thousand transactions are made into and out of the mixer every x seconds. Out of all those transactions one of them is coming from a dodgy wallet that previously received stolen Nano. U cannot now track that Nano as it has effectively been washed in a public mixer. Nano is fungible.

If it was Bitcoin in that public mixer, because of UTXO you can track each bitcoin transaction even in a public mixer. To understand how UTXO works follow this link.

Re the openess of the blockchain, the lack of annonymity is baked in but things like mixers and exhanges mean you can obscure actual ownership.

They've mentioned it several times on their blog. Here's one example.

> The first payments protocol we’ve added support for is a privacy focused payments network called MobileCoin, which has its own currency, MOB.

Do not annoy the Signal support... Come on guys, please...

The latest update on beta payments in Signal, the source of this list of what a crypto should do for Signal, is from April 2021! This is more of a "...and this is why we chose mobilecoin" list than a "please spam us with crypto you think fits thesr criteria without actually checking if it fits the criteria because you like the project" list. Also moxie is not CEO of Signal anymore, but that's just a side note.

• blog post with this list is from April 2021.
• mobilecoin is already integrated in Signal.
• nothing pointing towards more coins being added any time soon.
• nano does not fit this use case, it offers zero privacy and all transaction data is publicly available.

Nano is an awesome project. We can afford to have some class and not annoy Signal employees.

I bought my crypto coins at CoinEx and Binance and it worked just fine. If you want to you can use my referrallinks here for CoinEx and here for Binance. Both services are pretty easy to use and safe!

CoinEx doesn't even need KYC for changing on Crypto currency for another

I work at Deliveroo (the Nano of the food delivery world 😉) have been thinking how to suggest the idea of accepting Nano/crypto. Is there a payment processor through which Nano could be accepted? I know we use Stripe for regular payments.

Also might worth engaging with Stripe with them having previously supported Bitcoin but ceasing due to it’s impracticalities as a currency. “we remain very optimistic about cryptocurrencies overall. There are a lot of efforts that we view as promising and that we can certainly imagine enabling support for in the future.” https://stripe.com/blog/ending-bitcoin-support

They say not me : https://stripe.com/blog/ending-bitcoin-support

IMO, and to be very factual, until we are not in a worldwide crisis, decentralization of money means nothing for consumers.

And that’s the reality, consumers care very little about what $ is back by or not. We are in a society of services

Until these consumers don’t see benefits in cryptocurrency, we won’t see it adopted.

One day, we will see the « separation of money and state » like people saw the « separation of church and state »

I truly believe we will see cryptocurrencies on a wide scale, however it might take more than on generation.
