Bitcoin Forum

Main News

After yesterday's surprise launch of orb coin, The Editor is not surprised to see what a abysmal coin ORB turned out to be. With a sneaky launch and a massive premine that totals 4 years worth of coin, it was doomed from the beginning. I downloaded the source and compiled it myself, only to get no connections. I dub this Failcoin of the week.

In what has been considered the final nail in the Nugget coffin...user hotcoldcoin posted a sell order on the forum for nearly a million NUG @ 0.01 btc, if this is any indication as to their worth then it is safe to surmise that the coin is dead.

The attempted Scrypt Asic scam continues to entertain users as the site uploaded even more ludicrous images. An image of a dual cpu board was uploaded and metioned as part of the machine's build. I leave it to the community to boo these guys into oblivion.

Business News

The "Toilet Run" that alt-coins experience this weeks has seen a slight slow down for some coins, others...well, they are in the septic tank. I doubt we'll be seeing any major pumping of the existing currencies.

The recent rise in the BTC price has seen enthusiasts rubbing altcoin users face in it, this is mainly due to a war of words that has been rising between early adopters and fanatics versus the new guys and alt enthusiasts.

Sports

Not much to report here except the knock-out puch Vlad2vlad received after a sell offer was made to sell a million of his shitcoin at 0.01 btc.


Weather

The weather is calm and will hopefully continue so unless we have another sneak launch and/or J-coin releases today.


Trends

The recent multi-mine shindig has seen difficulties rising rapidly as these pools can point +200mh at any coin in their site, their popularity is rising and devs are panicking trying to modify their coins to be able to deter this phenomenon.

Drama and Entertainment

Anonymous rumor has it that BCX will attempt an alt coin first, to kill three alt coins simultaneously. Targets have yet to be announced. If you are holding low hash coins... watch out.

Keep it coming ;D

Update

A quick browse of the latest crop of coins show spots and HBN having quite a share of hash power. GME also gaining ground.

Tried hard to give you good orb news. Tomorrow maybe network fail??

Orbitcoin cracked me up. Sounded interesting at first, then read into the premine and 500 years of mining. Seriously, what the actual fuck? I guess this forum section just wouldn't be as fun if we didn't get one like this here and there.

update:  Vlad2Vlad bid (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=265781.0) 0.3 BTC for the 950,000 nuggets

nice news - i ignore most of these releases so its good to get a summary , and see what I'm ignoring .

as one could fall into the trap of ignoring all of them and missing something decent , but its pretty easy to spot the losers ans scams.

Keep IMO going on! I like it.

Agreed. This shit needs a podcast
