[ANN] [PURK] Purk - A Cryptocurrency for Donations, Tips & Private Payments

[IonicTong]

If you want to be helpful to readers, back up your claims with FACTS then maybe people would start to take you seriously.

Right now, you're just making accusations with absolutely no proof and making yourself look foolish.

Hi Sharpeich. This is not in our control. We can only develop the software according to our roadmap and marketing plans. It's up to the traders to buy or sell at the price they see fit.

You can use OTC on Discord but its use at your own risk at this time until we begin exchange applications come end of May

[evilcrypto]

Is there a plan for bigger exchange ?

Regarding plans, of course there are plans, but we are in talks with a number of exchanges atm. Also larger exchanges require larger listing fees. Something we're working on as a community at https://donate.purkproject.com

[IonicTong]

I agree, but we need to start somewhere. In the mean time, please vote for PURK on Shardax - Votes have been reset and we have until August 1st to win this round and qualify for a free listing:

Shitcoin and pure scam. Official Website (https://purkproject.com) uses your computer (48-50% of CPU power) to mine cryptocurrencies.

if that true, how a shame behavior for the dev team of Purk...

anyone noticed the same thing?

Yes, same thing. You can check your task manager when you have the website open (40% cpu load). When you close the website tab (not the entire browser), the cpu load gets back to 1-3%.

as I understand it, you will not be selling tokens, right? when your token will be traded on exchanges? unfortunately, I did not see this information in the roadmap

Yes correct on "some" PC's this is the case and it all depends on your CPU. Note - there is lots of animation on the page which puts a strain on low spec CPU's - but you can check our source code - there is nothing to be suspicious about. It would be completely insane to have something negative on our website that we are using to promote our own cryptocurrency. Come on people, lets put this to bed. It's a ridiculous claim and has already been checked and verified by a previous poster.

That's right, we are not selling tokens. Purk is a mineable coin, not token. We are already listed on 2 exchanges:

https://tradeogre.com/exchange/BTC-PURK

I think you need to upgrade your potato, because that certainly is not happening on my computer using a Ryzen 1700X.  Or you may just be spreading FUD for the lulz...

This made me chuckle. Thanks for verifying also.

all exchanges closed wallets "for maintenance" without any notice. what is happening?

Sharpeich - all CryptoNote coins were temporarily put in to maintenance on all exchanges due to a double counting bug in CryptoNote code - https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/3985. Purk is not affected by this. We are currently recreating the exploit to prove this and will tweet the results to TradeOgre and Altex shortly.

[IonicTong]

Recently a lot of exchanges took CryptoNote wallets offline due to a double counting bug found in CryptoNote code. We were aware that PURK would not be affected by this bug, but for transparency reasons we created this post so our users know that they‘re PURK is safe and business can continue as usual.

https://medium.com/@purkproject/purk-wallets-are-not-affected-by-double-counting-bug-in-cryptonote-code-edd8253d6079

We have contacted TradeOgre and Altex and are waiting for confirmation that we can be reactivated shortly.

Both of these exchanges should disable deposits and withdrawals before all bugs fixed to avoid customer losses, network congestions, and abundant support tickets.

This is exactly what both exchanges did. PURK was mistakenly deactivated, it's only coins that are forked from Monero that have this bug - please read the report on Medium.

Altex have already reactivated PURK just waiting on TradeOgre.

I have a website that offers some services. I want to accept payments in the cryptocurrency. How can I do this with a Purk? Where can I read the manual?
