we have potcoin, dopecoin, leafcoin. Not enough?

sorry too late, we have potcoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=426324.0

Was Thinking The Same, hahaha

I do understand that statement, but have any of these actually *done* anything?  How many of them are actually used for dispensaries, etc.? 

I'm not saying this one will succeed where the others have fallen short, but until one of the marijuana themed coins gets their shit together, they'll keep coming.  If one becomes the obvious winner (i.e. gets accepted at dispensaries, etc.) the rest will die out.

potcoins doing tons check em out

I have...How many dispensaries accept potcoin?

Why Cannacoin?  

We already run and operate Washington states largest medical marijuana social platform (nwgt.org). With over 16,000 members and 1,000 local medical patients ready to accept and use Cannacoin on our website and within the community.  We already have the involvement and investors willing to get this coin off the ground in REAL world applications.  
Just think... Cannabis collectives, farmers markets, patient to patient donation, products and services etc. We have a vision for the future of cannabis and have been executing it for the last 5 years in our own State (just ask!), we now feel its time to take the next step and implement a means for transferring and storing value for the cannabis industry.

To be fair - Can you show us some form of evidence that this has the backing to be used IRL and not just to be exchanged?

PotCoin FTW, good luck anyway!

We are the central point for medical marijuana in Washington state, our site regulars include leading industry professionals in politics, growing, collectives and business.  We haven't scheduled or strategized any sort of IPO because simply there is so much demand and need in WA for a coin like this, we feel it will succeed with or without large investors.

Any one of the number of people we've discussed Cannacoin with has been eager to ask how to "get in" or "How to get started mining".  People are literally lining up at the gate every date asking for more details. Due to the influx of people asking about Cannacoin we've considered holding early adopter meetings in the state to educate people interested in implementing the coin for their business or daily life.

Alright developer. You seem to have the community ready already, that's good. I was just saying there are already a lot of coins like yours, but if you can make your idea succeed, then why not? Good luck with it :)

We appreciate the kind words.  Regardless if our coin succeeds on "the internetz" we know Washington and Colorado are leading the cannabis industry and we have the capabilities of bringing a coin to the people.  After that we'll let the internet decide if it wants to play ;-)

A fair answer.  I'm not trying to discredit you in any way, I'm just trying to fact check, etc. - you know...doing my homework ;)

I didn't feel the others (Pot / Dope Coin, etc...) were much more than "another alt coin", and I've been actively waiting for a REAL cannabis-themed coin.  I hope yours is able to be that coin.

For the sake of transparency:  Are you an active member on these forums?  It's just another yellow flag (again, not attempting to discredit, just due diligence) that you're a brand new account w/ a new coin.

EDIT:  Why is there no announcement on the forum you mentioned?

SO, What is the advantage of Cannacoin over other coins? I mean Why not become the middle man between your centralized merchants and the potcoin, for example?

I would like to see the evidence as well. If they are really eager to accept digital currency, they should have accepted btc as primary because btc is already liquid. It would be easy for them to convert bitcoins into $.

Please stop the use of word "We" as if you are the spokesperson of this big company. All I see is "You" trying to market your coin in a misleading way.  

Yes, I am an active member and co-owner of the website.  Me and my Twin brother actually are the ones operating the site and developing the coin.

Regarding announcements, we have announced the on our YouTube to our 15k subscribers.  Announcements for the coin are coming today through our official forum, In fact it was suppose to be right after we posted here but you guys kind of took my attention ;)


Advantage? Other than the fact that the configuration of the coin was actually thoroughly thought out instead of other alts that punch in 420, dope, pot everywhere in the code/name possible?  What about the fact that our difficulty retargeting takes advantage of the Kimoto gravity well? Or the fact we've strategically scheduled a halving expected by miners once a year  This is a nod to the miners and the network, we are trying to make it a level playing field for everyone... including the little guys. We tried to make this coin as even as possible because we've feel we've been at every end of the spectrum as an end user of Bitcoin/Litecoin and other alts as a trader, miner and now moving into real world applications.

We took as many of the advantages from a range of coins like Bitcoin, Litecoin along with some of the newer implementations like faster block times and better retargeting to make the most well rounded coin for an INDUSTRY.  We aren't looking to make a world wide currency used in every household, this is a currency by the industry for the industry.

I meant here at bitcointalk.org

It's easier to trust someone who's established or at least known among the crypto community :)

Oh sorry no I'm not a regular here on Bitcointalk, just a lurker. 

blueangel01,

In response to your question as to why business/patients don't accept BTC?  In fact some here DO accept BTC however, with 10 minute block times it's not a very convenient system that can be implemented without being slow and inefficient for collectives.  With something like 1 minute block times this is more conducive to business and easier to market for POS etc.

Regarding your "we",  It's "we" because I'm not the only one here launching or implementing Cannacoin, there's more than 1 person involved behind the scenes here.

cannacoin sounds better than potcoin, dopecoin, or leafcoin. I'd support this.

You are saying that this specification is the best for the POS:
Algorithm: Scrypt
Block Time: 1 minutes
Block Reward: 12.5 Cannacoins
Reward Halving: Every 525,600 (~1 years)
Difficulty Retargeting: Every block using Kimoto's Gravity Well.
Total Supply: 13,140,000 Million Cannacoins.

With the upcoming release of the Scrypt ASIC, this coin will be attack by 51%

Did you not consider other algo? Why did your team chose the max number 13,140,000 Million Cannacoins?

We use Scrypt along with 100's of alt coins but the difference here is that we've implemented Kimoto's gravity well for block retargeting which will retarget difficulty every block.  So your theory of ASIC for Scrypt causing 51% attack isn't really credible unless you care to elaborate... To take our point further when asics for scrypt hit the market would you want block retargeting every block like Cannacoin or every 4-14 days like LTC/BTC or other alts?

We also used Scrypt simply for the fact that is is commonly used today and most miners have cgminer/guiminers that are compatible with Scrypt mining.  If we we're to transition to another algorithm like scrypt adaptive-n then it would force the mining community to use the vertminer etc which is simply less common and causes all sorts of headaches for a coins launch and success.  Regardless if we used a different algorithm, an application specific IC is going to be designed for it and you'll always be playing the "next best thing" game waiting for your time when the time is now.

The max number of coins of 13,140,000 wasn't picked on purpose, it was the outcome of mining rewards, block time and block halving rate that determines the total number of coins. We felt that Bitcoins block reward and scarcity is one of its key success factors for holding value to it's coin.  We've halved the current reward of Bitcoin for Cannacoin and decreased the halving rate from ~4 years to about ~1 year, add in 60 second block times and the outcome is 13,140,000 roughly 1/2 bitcoin's total supply.  Our thought is that we wont be creating a "world" currency so to speak say as Bitcoin or Litecoin are trying to achieve but like I said before we've created a smaller version so to speak to support 1 specific industry.  

You can also look at it like this

Cannacoin:
Blocktime: 60 seconds (10x faster than BTC, 1.5x faster than LTC)
Block Reward: 12.5 CCN (1/2 BTC reward but happening ever 1 minute, 1/4 LTC reward)
Block Halving: ~1 Year (4x Faster then BTC. Yearly expectation for miners.)

just curios,
is it 13,140,000 Million Cannacoins or 13.14 million cannacoins?

also does anyone know of a coin where kgw actually works. I have mined a few and so far none has met its block target time, the latest was lemon which is supposed to be 60 second blocks but actually runs around 3 to 5 minutes. lotto coin simply re-targets each block and maintains its block time almost like clockwork. so far I am not impressed with kgw but i don't totaly understand it either.

You're right, the "million" at the end of the number was misleading and was a typo. The number of coins is how it's written 13,140,000 (Thirteen million one hundred forty thousand). 

Thanks for the clarification. I thought that was the case.

Being a Colorado native and Washington transplant as well as a hard core herbivore I will be throwing some hash at this coin. Hoping for a fair and smooth launch.

do you have an estimated launch date yet?

Lets hope it lives longer than kush coin

We don't want give an exact date just yet but we're looking at just a few weeks out realistically.

We've been having some dependency issues with our Mac client and are currently working on getting a good reliable production build ready for the public.  We're also looking at doing some beta testing with a few of the devs here next week and finalizing some of the website and media stuff. More info to come...

thanks again. Ill keep watching

A quick update for those interested, our team will be doing some beta testing tonight on the testnet to make sure everything is working smoothly, after that we will move forward with production builds. You can expect more announcements coming soon.

As of 10PM PST James and I are successfully connected to the testnet and are mining away blocks(block 6 to be exact). Since we're using a few iMacs for dev testing it's likely to take a few hours for enough confirmations and coins to show up as spendable.  Will check in tomorrow morning and hopefully have some more updates.

Last nights test was successful and we're showing balances as well as able to transact on the network.  We also hit our first difficulty adjustment which kicked in around block 160 so it looks like things are moving smoothly and we can move onto further testing and production builds.

A quick update and announcement for today:

The Cannacoin website is officially live!
www.cannacoin.cc (http://www.cannacoin.cc)

Beta Testing Updates:
1.) The testnet has been successful running for about 2 days now
2.) We've mined a few thousand Cannacoin, everything working as expected(rewards, fees etc).
3.) We've made multiple transactions on the network to one another, everything working as expected(1 minute confirmations).
4.) We have stopped/restarted the network multiple times with 0 failures(including hard resets etc).

Upcoming tests scheduled for tomorrow:
Wallet import/export
Encrypted password protection

If things continue going this smooth we will be looking at a lunch here in no time! Again, if ANYONE would like to help contribute to the Cannacoin project in any way please let me know. We are looking for web and software devs, graphics designers, people interested in helping market Cannacoin, anyone interested in helping write press release or content etc... Please contact team@cannacoin.cc

More updates coming soon...

Updates:

The Cannacoin block explorer is up! We are currently using the Block explorer on our testnet and everything is working great! We're now working to format the pages and tables so they are clean and readable. Currently everything is in plain text table formats and it would be nice to get a viable block explorer formatted for launch, a live version will be released in the next day or so.

Also, the Block Explorer itself will include a fully developed API for anyone interested in transaction/block data for building an application or website surrounding Cannacoin.

Beta Testing Updates:
Not much going on going on today for beta testing, things are running smoothly and we're focused on the block explorer and other necessary tasks for launch.

1.) Import/export of keys working as expected.
2.) Encrypted wallets passwords working as expected.

Looks like I couldn't help myself and I managed to format the block explorer pages so that they are clean and readable.  I will be doing some further updates on formatting tomorrow.  Also just to note the data is not "live" per say, it's simply a copy of the .dat info from shortly after we launched the testnet. Don't expect to see any block info past 2014-02-25 06:54:40.

You can view the block explorer here:
www.cannacoin.cc/explorer

CtrlAltDefeated,

Glad to see your pool is on board and taking pre-registrations for CCN, please reach out to me directly if you have any questions.

-Josh

No worries. I'll continue checking the thread for future announcements

Looks Interesting !

I guess this is a high risk/reward coin for now... I will be mining this coin.

Major updates:
A release date will is set to be posted later next week, this will likely be Thursday or Friday. We are just finalizing a few last things before we prepare to schedule a launch. While I feel the need to get this release to the public I personally want to make sure that we have every last piece in place and proper testing completed prior to launch. I dont want anyone trying to implement code changes or scramble to provide necessary services like clients, block explorers, pools, exchanges, paper wallets etc. at the least minute, we're really hoping to make this launch as smooth as possible.

A few minor updates:
1.) We have created a modified copy of bitaddress for Cannacoin which will allow users to generate offline wallets, paper wallets, brain wallets etc. A live copy have been distributed to the website, you can check it out here:
cannacoin.cc/paperwallet (http://cannacoin.cc/paperwallet)

2.) The block explorer has received a major facelift you can check it out here:
cannacoin.cc/explorer (http://cannacoin.cc/explorer)

great news. I wonder why there is not much post from the community.

We've run into some issues creating a release build of our mac client . It seems I'm able to get the client running fine in my own environment however when I include the dependencies (/Frameworks) and relink I get a dyld error for libboost_thread-mt. I'm not sure why as this is an exact copy of the same library from my machine that was working just before I copied them to the .app.  For tonight I'm calling it quits and will attempt again tomorrow.

I have a feeling it has to do with the arch type for the boost_thread library but like I said, I'm spent for the evening. On the next attempt I will try building the client using OS X 10.6 as I believe I may have an issue with clang/xcode or some other sort of compatibility issues I'm not seeing. I've tried so many outlets to get this client running on mac os x that I think it's best to start from a fresh OS install and build the client. I will check back tomorrow but for now I've left a copy of the error below if anyone has a solution.

Dyld Error Message:
  Symbol not found: _upnpDiscover
  Referenced from: /Users/USER/Desktop/*/CannaCoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/CannaCoin-Qt
  Expected in: /Users/USER/Desktop/*/CannaCoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/libboost_thread-mt.dylib

Major announcements today! In just a few hours (7pm PST) we are scheduled to release a launch date for Cannacoin! Stay tuned...

so not released today but the launch date/time to be announced in 2hrs approx?

"To be determined...
please contact team@cannacoin.cc if you're interested in adding Canncoin to your exchange!"

How about a strategic plan on contacting the exchanges?

CANNACOIN ANNOUNCEMENT: LAUNCH DATE!
https://i.imgur.com/C408pGb.jpg

The countdown begins! On march 28th, 2014 we are set to launch Cannacoin!
Help change the world & join the Cannacoin revolution!

That should be updated, we are actually actively reaching out to exchanges now that we have time on our hands.  I'm also working with a handful volunteers locally to get them set up to help market the coin over the next coming weeks prior to launch (twitter, facebook, forums etc.)

At the moment I'm also working with local investors to help secure the network at launch.  To date we have collected over $2,000 and I'm receiving more e-mails daily from outside support.  Things seem to be on track and going smoothly. 

I appreciate your interest but we already finished the source+clients and as you can see have a launch scheduled ;-) We started this project when there was 0 active or known Cannacoin projects so if you would like join up feel free(we have a github as well). We aren't going to drop our efforts to join a failed/disbanded project when we've already completed 99% of the task and all thats left is launch.

The point I'm illustrating is that we do have all the necessary tools in place for a launch (not just source+clients) and we are continuing forward with the set launch date.  The question I'm asking you short of your supposed github account. Where is your website, code, clients, explorers, paperwallets, mining pools, marketing etc... there seems to be no active engagement other then the "legal" issues you speak of.  Are you putting the project on hold due because of it, that doesn't seem very wise when there's so much more involved in creating a coin, am I right?


Can you please elaborate? What network are you speaking of and do you have anything I can look at? I noticed your LinkdIn referenced CannaFirm but you're website leads to a godaddy intro page. I will contact you through PM and we can discuss further...

Who is your target customer specifically? I know you said the cannabis industry, but within that where would you prefer that miners will fall - into the category of customers, or businesses?

The reason I ask is that scrypt ASICs are almost upon us, and that's going to make any coin that's just standard scrypt totally unprofitable for GPU miners. Do you have any plans to implement any of the ASIC resistance techniques recently developed (a similar example is scrypt-adaptive-n), or to innovate any technology yourselves?

Quick annoucement, we've added http://ccn.talesfromthescrypt.org/ to our list of pools! Much thanks to smith7800 and the folks from talesfromthescrypt!

This coin is targeted to medical and recreational cannabis users, growers, processors, retail outlets, glass artists and really anyone who participates within the cannabis industry.  The mining incentive works just like any other coin with a reward... we are making an effort locally to continually educate others about computational mining and CCN in general. We also expect that outside miners will add to the equation simply for profitability reasons (BTC/CCN exchange).

There is also a local mining pool fund that has been created for those who don't have the capability or funds to buy and operate a dedicated machine themselves, currently that pool has raise 2500+ and has ~3mh/s and growing steadily.  Soon after launch I personally will begin to target POS and mining operations to cannabis collectives and retail outlets as a means to transact and to generate CCN to sell to customers themselves (its a win win for the ecosystem) 


I do agree that ScryptASIC are a potential threat to scrypt based coins however it is not an exact threat JUST yet.  The need to move to an ASIC resistant algo like Scrypt Adaptive-N is a soluation and this is the direction we are considering as a potential backup.  Until ASICs for Scrypt hit the market and start to become the trend we have chosen to stick with the most widely used alternative to SHA256 which is Scrypt(for the time being). It's obvious that the majority of the mining community is using GPU's/Scrypt in combination with mining setups that consist of BAMT, CGMiner, GUIMiner etc. Until the need for an adaptive algorithm has presented itself, we have chosen to stick with the masses of the community and migrate with them when the time comes. (Think LTC)

Ok, I see how you're thinking. IMHO I think you're underestimating the adoption scale. There's probably hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of ASIC mining equipment on pre-order, and it'll start to be delivered in barely a couple of months. I doubt you'll have the kind of grace-time that LTC had, simply because the market and technology has sped up quite so much. Just my opinion though!

So, this local mining pool running... Is that an effective premine, as the coin has not been released yet?

The local pool is not running prior to launch, it will start alongside everyone else on the 28th.

LOL, I thought that Bob Marley quote was going to say:

“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires,
but in ... how much cannabis he grows"

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Isn't KGW to dissuade multipools from raping your coin? But multipools won't be mining this at the launch, so can't KGW be put off for a few days? Otherwise, we'll see difficulties of 10-100 just a few minutes after launch ... very frustrating for small-time miners, and means it'll be impossible to mine with a wallet.

We have contemplated removing the block reward for the first ~160 blocks to allow for peers connections/setup and difficulty adjustments to kick in however, we have not made a final call on this.  If there is anyone that has any other suggestions we are open to ideas however at this time we are proceeding as is.

The Time Is Near ! ;D

Is this being made by the company Kinetics on cryptostocks? https://cryptostocks.com/securities/85 , http://coincanna.com/services.html

cannacoin, cannatokens, coincanna... are they all the same? or...

Cannacoin is unrelated however I could see a good potential for them to use Cannacoin  ;-)

So where are the wallets?

The release is tonight at midnight PST.

The potcoin team is planning an Amsterdam "business trip". I wonder if the canna coin team are planning the same thing?

timer says 0:0 but no wallets?

what is up?

That's what I though. And, why create coins with a name regarding cannabis. You think that's 'cool'?

Anyway, it's the 28th of march now. When is the launched planned? At which time, GMT? 

To be honest, I think this coin is likely to crash together with most of the new coins nowadays.

@btcmemberships Dopecoin hahaha. The coin who are using the picture of Anonymous (then lie about the anonymity of their coin) and who give free weed for attract the ignorant peoples like you. Nice  :-*

 :P

EDIT: their weed seem photoshoped, sorry  :P

You jelly brah :P
does your coin have an android wallet , shopping cart api , paper wallets , games ....etc,etc ...you be jelly brah .... I'll smoke a dobbie to u brah  ;D


good one brah!!!

Lol stop rage  :D

I dont mine cannacoin  :-*
You are a sheep  ::)

Hahaha the Cannacoin rage! :D  Dude, I'm joking with you brah ...you are a sheep though , out on the pasture here pooping squids and sheep poop lol lol  lol

15yo kid spotted.

do you like 15 yr old kids?  :P

Free weed!!! SO DOPE!!!
Hmm, well gee maybe that weed is photo-shopped...ya think?  :P
Either that, or the acid is kicking in  ;D

You guys I respectfully ask that you please leave the Cannacoin guys alone, they are brand new and deserve a fair crack without any outside interference.
If you wanna rip on someone I'm sure you can think of other targets;)

Thanks guys, and good luck Cannacoin!

Warm regards,

Dopey

Do you have a launch time?

Launch will be tonight at midnight PST

 I strongly agree the one who says cannacoin sounds better than potcoin, dopecoin, or leafcoin. I'd support this.

launch time?

We're live! Please connect to the seed node at 91.214.168.179

RPC: 7142
P2P: 7143

http://ccn.talesfromthescrypt.org is live

There's one guy in there smashing mad blocks!

Wallet not connect.

did you try putting the addnode=91.214.168.179 in your config file?

The wallet does not sync or connect? *edit* OK NOW sync wait for 5-10 minutes and it's ok.

I hope you can in the promotion of ~ ~ ~ Chinese

I want to thank everyone for their participation in tonight's launch, so far it looks as though everything is rolling out smoothly without issue.  I also want to personally thank talesfromthescrypt for their prompt setup of the cannacoind server, as it stands we reached a network high of over 40mh/s within the first hour and a half of launch!  

so many coins have been created :'(

i cant tell if this is a false positive

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/ba842ff057065ec5817b51d5be6698ce61a42bcf3540726b04e00d4ad7b99744/analysis/1396007297/

google only brings up one result so could be a new virus?

New opera wont even open downloaded wallet files...

http://115.28.31.25:7006  china  Pond :P Built for you

+1 your community have no brain but you seem to be a nice dev.

You know, using anonymous / free weed pictures attract the kids. (this the reason why i don't believe in your DopeCoin)

 :( There are so many Scrypt coin.
I think we need more other algo coin.

remind me of rasta coin

what the hell happened to rastacoin besides getting tons of clone?

okaypool for ccn

http://ccn.okaypool.com

This coin should be in a good logo

big fail to create next scrypt coin...I like cannabis but I dont like logo, its cheap, photoshop in few minutes :) It should be a little bit serious, without canna face and book and shoes and with more beautiful font,  not just ARIAL or something ordinary
but good luck anyway .)
thumbs up .)

http://ccn.okaypool.com is live

 ;D

I've been following this coin for a few weeks. I like the name and think it could overtake potcoin & hempcoin. But I'm disappointed there is no launch time nor countdown timer. Is it still launching today?

redwhite037 the network was launched almost 12 hours ago at midnight. You can access clients from www.cannacoin.cc/clients.html

You've been following but couldn't see they already launched?

Also anyone have any insight on this

I can assure you that is a false positive however, I encourage anyone to investigate to dispel any concerns.

The Cannacoin block explorer has been updated and is now displaying data from the live network.   You can view it here: www.cannacoin.cc/explorer (http://www.cannacoin.cc/explorer)

1st CannaCoin P2Pool Opened
www.cryptovein.com
1% fee


Source Code for CannaCoin P2Pool : https://github.com/cryptovein/p2pool

Great news! I'll get you cryptovein added to the list of p2p pools right away!

I mine CannaCoin here.

tales pool is down or possibly ddos and all my coins are in it >.>

OSX wallet download is now up at chainexplorer.info

The direct link is http://chainexplorer.info/files/CannaCoin.dmg (http://chainexplorer.info/files/CannaCoin.dmg) but if you guys could visit the site itself I would be pretty happy.

Thanks to mystphyx for the help with our Mac client, I have posted to official .dmg at www.cannacoin.cc/clients.htm (http://www.cannacoin.cc/clients.htm)

No it doesn't.

Me 2  :(

I talked to Scryptkeeper last night and he mentioned it was a DDOS that was hitting the pool. I also know there we're server upgrades mentioned to on the 29th, I'm sure everything will be fine just give it some time.  For now feel free to join one of the other 2 pools available or the cryptovein p2p pool.

It's a bad coin.

Care to elaborate? I'm always open for a proper discussion.

ive got a little less than 2k for trade

It seems that a few of the pools are being DDOS'd and peeers are having troubles finding a place to mine.  If anyone has a mining pool that would like to add Cannacoin, it would be greatly appreciated!

I have a p2pool running at http://54.186.148.65:7743

Thanks  Bitarama for posting your source.

Thanks Mickey! If anyone else is aware of a mining pool for Cannacoin please make sure to post it so others can join!

Also, the team and I are currently seeking any exchanges that would be interested in adding Cannacoin, we've reached out to a number of exchanges but are still waiting to hear back.  If you have an exchange you'd like to see CCN listed on, please take a moment to contact the site administrator and let them know you'd like to see Cannacoin on their platform! The more people we have contacting exchanges to add CCN, the more likely they are to add it!

ccn.talesfromthescrypt.org is back up.  We were slammed with a massive ddos attack, which knocked us out of commission.  If you'd like to mine there again, I'd recommend setting up auto payout to minimize risk in the event of another attack.  Sorry about the downtime.

http://ccn.okaypool.com

UP

Same here, and it doesn't seem to be coming back. I'm assuming my coins are lost, even if it does come back.

If anyone is selling Cannacoin's I'd be happy to purchase them for bitcoin or cash locally in Seattle area or bank deposit.

pm me here for details...



-James

We're still seeing a high rate of DDOS etc, it looks like there's a community of people attacking pools and down voting posts on the subreddit so we're asking for your help! If any of you know of a resource for a mining pool (especially DDOS resistant) please let us know or better yet, reach out to your favorite pools and ask them to add CCN!

I will have a pool for you guy by tomorrow latest!
there is no backup from myself with hashpower, but I'm looking forward setting up a pool your you guys
Fees will be 1%

http://cnn.mine-coin.de

pool is up and running.

So I found this... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=522235.0
Megalomaniacs who think they are doing us a favor. This is a retarded waste of time for everyone. Let people make up their own minds about which coins to invest in based on their own research, not yours.

is this coin dead? not much hash rate out there mining it

jw what the GPU miners are thinking??

Right now we're experiencing coordinated attacks on almost all of the mining pools supporting CCN. We are working to combat this issue by adding more pools to our list and this is why the network hashrate has dropped significantly.  

Hey everyone, dont want to negative, but we already launched CCN ages ago :-(

To tip: just reply to a comment with +/u/CannaTip XXX CCN


What’s a tip bot?
The bot is a piece of code that acts kind of like a robot. This particular ‘robot’ knows how to use Reddit, and operates the account /u/CannaTip. This allows it to communicate via commands in messages, and notice if you mention it in a thread somewhere.
The bot is also kind of like a banker, and operates a Cannacoin wallet address for each of it’s users. When combined with the Reddit account part, users can direct the bot to send the Cannacoin cryptocurrency between each other by issuing certain commands.
Basically, you can send people money just by leaving a comment in a thread — which really could change the way we use the internet.

Thought I should post the interview that I did with CoinJoint.info regarding Cannacoin as I think it helps to answer some of the questions I hear quite often.

http://coinjoint.info/cannacoin-interview-new-cryptocurrency-contender-cannabis-market/

what does cannacoin do that dope doesn't?  Just another "me too" coin.  ::)

Did you not read the interview I just posted? If not I suggest reading it, it might help to answer some of your questions.

Not if they are to be listed on the same exchange, or use the same pool. most exchange and pool owners will have the short name somewhere in their configs

Yes, and we're launching CAN (Cannabiscoin) shortly too, so CAN is also taken.

I think the paperwallet is generating bad Private Key.

Try to import a key in your wallet and see the error.
To make it work you must change the ECKey.privateKeyPrefix.

Your Bitcoin.Address.networkVersion is 28 = 0x1C

28+128=156

Your ECKey.privateKeyPrefix is 156 = 0x9c

Change in lines 5056, 5243 and 5251 and it should work now.


Roll another one.
Sorry for my Google Translator english.

THE DDOS source IP is

178.33.239.134           
176.31.233.35         
46.105.112.33

THE DDOS Attacker is https://www.betarigs.com/


He attacked all Cannacoin  pools，WHY?

Cannacoin handle Please!

 

The cannacoin paperwallet service has been updated, thanks to Turulo for pointing that out. It is encouraged that if you have an old paper wallet that you generate a new pub/priv key for it to correctly import/export and send/receive payments. 

Also, I have also added http://ccn.youngwebsolutions.com to the list of available pools. Much thanks to our mining community support!

and now that site is also down 

Thanks for this -- how did you find this out?

As soon this was posted we had a minor issue which required a reboot, This reboot failed somehow, and we overlooked this for 30 minutes. Our apologies for the downtime, All is back to normal now!

Please note betarigs is a legitmate business where you can hire hashing power (i use it myself as well!!)
In theory you could hire so much hashpower you can bring down a pool, but this is very costly.. So I'm not 100% sure if this is the real DDOS'r

yes, i've used www.betarigs.com before as well.

I don't believe it's them, however, it could very well be a collective effort of people using rented rigs for this purpose....

I'd like to know how the conclusion was reached that these attacks came from people using their services.

I also feel strange

This problem may ask Cannacoin Author

Time to fork?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=552895.0

We're investigating the legitimacy of this claim and will make any necessary changes if indeed there is in an exploit in KGW.

Cannacoin.cc is going down for some serious maintenance and server upgrades, you can expect downtimes between 24/48 hours at the most.

i heard potcoin had issues over there switching off the fork and want to make sure its safe to mine CNN there

any exchange yet?

We are in talks with a few exchanges currently, I don't want to get ahead of myself and make any sort of official announcements before they are final but I can tell you that an exchange service is at the top of our priorities.

A patched version of Cannacoin-QT for Windows is now available:

We have officially completed all source code and software client updates, if anyone has any questions or issues please let me know.

Been waiting for this  :)

http://ccn.youngwebsolutions.com is now on the new fork wallet!

Miners are very welcome to join this pool
PROMO:
Use the contact form to gain a 1 week 0% fee mining!

I'm promoting this pool to show that also pool mining is safe now!
* SSD Cloud Servers
* 1% fee (0% with promo!)
* Proportional payouts
* Low auto-payout treshold and payments are made within minutes!

A couple of quick announcements:

1) We've successfully completed the hardfork at block 16,000.  It appears that things have gone smoothly and most if not all pools and clients have been updated and are on the new patched versions of cannacoind and cannacoin-qt. If you have yet to update your client or server please visit cannacoin.cc or github.com/cannacoin-project for patched clients/source.

2) We've added our first checkpoint at block 10,000 (hash: 41f18b61e2859cb6c1f8066fec789d19160a7d531231df13d2dcbe76bf70307d) while we had an opportunity.

3) http://www.cannacoin.cc is back up and running after a serious server outage.  Block explorer services available shortly with a newly patched cannacoind.

This coin should be mentioned in High Times Magazine.
After cannacoin gets listed on an exchange :)
Real world acceptance for this coin would also help.

Important Announcement: Cannacoin is now available for CCN/BTC exchange at Swisscex.com!  (https://www.swisscex.com/market/CCN_BTC)

I want to thank Luk3r and Locorider for their support and help getting CCN listed, without them we wouldn't have a place to exchange! You guys are awesome!  

No Problem. ;)

We already own CCN. Please remove yourself from the exchanges and change to a different name.

The comedy that runs through this place is great. Keep the shameless self promotion going! And now... back to your regularly scheduled programs.

Its not promotion, (Although i dont mind Crypto Prices listing us  ;) ) Its a technically sound argument to you not doing quite enough research before you launched. Lets get this straight, This will affect both our coins as has already been proved and I don't want this to become some childish slanging match, we're all professional developers here.

So i'm offering my help instead. Let me help you change your CCN code to something else in your wallets so we can live happily side by side.

Thanks  ;D

I've set up my very first p2pool and it is for cannacoin :-)
I'm very lonely on my pool so please join
miner  berbip.mine.nu:7743
login with wallet address/any pass

webinterface  berbip.mine.nu:7743/static/  or  berbip.mine.nu:7743/static/p2pool-node-status/

this is all very experimental for me, send me a pm if you have any troubles.
no fees !

I also suspect that i'm the only p2pool since i get no node peers.

I noticed cannacoin is no longer listed on cryptoveins P2P page?

I too noticed cryptovein went offline shortly after the hardfork.  I know they had some issues with updating some other coins so I reached out directly to Haze to see if he was planning on re-adding Cannacoin, I still haven't heard anything back but I will try to follow up with him today.

http://ccn.youngwebsolutions.com (http://ccn.youngwebsolutions.com) is fully updated and awating miners!

check our new pool interface:
http://i59.tinypic.com/2nj3pw.png

*VARDIFF
*Proportional payments
*SSD Cloud server
*High Securtity
*Experienced Admin
*later today a memory upgrade will be carried out..

We are ready for you miners!

Looking good, I appreciate the efforts youngwebs! I will pop over and put some hashing power on your pool.

Your hashpower is mostly appreciated.

To all others: today server is upgraded with double memory (mainly for increased traffic to my other pools) but i have lots of spare capacity now, for more workers!
You will get easy rewards, luck is on our side with new server setup as well:
All Time    15,735    227    227    0    0.5375    7,996,723    7,826,041    97.87%    
Last Hour    60    3    3    0    0.4335    85,227    80,660    94.64%

we have now 3 different users active (pool hashrate around 2.5 MHs), looking for more!

i had 1900 canna after a night of mining, im petty sure i insta mined this somehow, best instamine of my life!

It's official! Cannacoin will be making a trip to Denver, CO this weekend to help promote the use of CCN to patrons of the High Times Cannabis Cup as well as local businesses and vendors.  I personally feel like I shouldn't miss this opportunity to help educate people on the potential for a crypto currency in the cannabis industry and I will be printing out and handing out flyers over the weekend as well as yapping peoples ear off.  If anyone is at the cup or happens to see us locally in Denver please feel make sure to stop by and say hi!

https://i.imgur.com/yFYSnvl.png

I won't be there but I wanted to give thanks for this promotional effort.

CannaCoin has such a better ring to it then Dopecoin, Potcoin, Weedcoin, Etc.

I can see this coin being used in the Medicinal Cannabis Industry as well as Products & Services e.g: T-shirts, Smoking Implements, Magazine Subscriptions, Etc

potcoin made an android wallet and apparently it is closed source (Not for sure about this yet). They already have investors involved that are treating it like a business. It just doesn't seem proper to me.

It seems like they are using the Marijuana image to create a business. I am starting to like potcoin less and less as the days go by.

I read a post today about how the devs and a few people are going to start a co-op to artificially increase the price. Seems so wrong to me.

Cannacoin seems like a true community coin that wants to support the cause.

I would rather get marijuana legalized then make tons of money.

fartbags,

Our team has started on the android wallet and has completed the wallet app itself, we are now currently in preparations for porting over a complete version of BitcoinJ/LitecoinJ for Cannacoin and can use any extra help we can get as this will be quite a task(I'm assuming this is what Potcoin will try to keep closed source). This java implementation of the cannacoind client will be necessary to complete the android project and others. You can find our list of current open sourced projects at http://github.com/cannacoin-project/

I've said it numerous times, we all love the idea of a coin for the cannabis industry but the reality is is that the developers of these other coins have almost comical configurations and no true backing or experience in the cannabis industry. We will continue innovate and push projects to the community and not set arbitrary closed source dates in the future for hype and market manipulation etc.  Not only have we strategized key elements within Cannacoin source (halving rates, blocktimes, supply, diff adjustment) but, we’ve both the local and online community in Seattle with plans to roll out POS, online merchant services, tipbots, forum tips, patient to patient donation and other critical services to help expand Cannacoin and the cannabis community as a whole and not for certain individuals.

-Josh

I have checked and updated
http://ccn.mine-coin.de

also I have fixed the typo in the url. please change http://cnn.mine-coin.de to the new url in the first post.

The theme is set to green ;) Hope you like it.. or is it to green?

now the pool needs miners to test it. happy mining

I have used mine-coin.de before when mining THC the hemp coin. They run a good pool and are there to fix any problems. I recommend them.

Today there was an issue resulting in an emergency reboot. The stratum servers where automatically re-started, but the wallets where not.
The downtime of the wallets was about a little less then 2 hours.

Nation-war mining takes mining serious and understands the issues this might have brought to you.

To compensate for the downtime, all nation-wars pools will have a 0% fee till at least 2300h CET Sunday 20th (approx 24 hours)

Thank you for your trust in nation-wars mining!

An update from day 1 at the High Times cup:

Today way a great day for networking and meeting some of the people at the cup as well as some of the vendors. We had a great opportunity to talk Danny Danko, the senior cultivation editor at high times about the possibility of seeing a Cannacoin/HighTimes spread! He seemed very into the idea of Cannacoin and it's potential for our community so I can only expect amazing things to come from our talks!
More updates to come from day 2.... Printing up some info and paper wallets to hand out on the floor! Tomorrow the real work begins!

 Had a hangup trying to "Cash Out" my CAN to  wallet. Emailed mine-de pool. Responded quickly and fixed glitch. Coins now in my wallet. Good news for this coin. very pleased with service from the pool I'm mining. Love the coin will remain hashing with my meager rig, But with Dif as it is I'm getting some block rewards YAY!

After 20 hours of driving and 1300 miles later, we have arrived home in Seattle!  Day 2 of the Cannabis Cup was even more of a success then day one! I was able to hand out every business card I came with and talked to more vendors and patrons then I could shake a stick at!  In fact there were more people that had heard of Bitcoin/Cannacoin then I had suspected, I guess that less than 10 people I asked didn't know about BTC which made educating people on Cannacoin very easy!  I look forward to building on the relationships started at the event and hopefully bringing you all some very large announcements soon!

You can expect the Cannacoin team at both the Seattle and San Francisco HighTimes events coming up so if you missed us in Denver don't worry, we'll see you soon!
 

if someone wants to solo-mine this coin with cgminer and don't know how it works, this is how i've done it:

1) download the actual Wallet, extract it and start it on your miner-pc
2) wait until its fully synced and close it again
3) make a file called "CannaCoin.conf" and place it into %appdata%\CannaCoin
4) open that CannaCoin.conf and put following text into it:
(rpcuser, rpcpassword and rpcport can be anything you like)
5) make a new *.BAT file and start your cgminer like:
cgminer.exe -o localhost:3333 -u USERNAME -p PASS
6) start the Wallet again and wait until its synced
7) start your cgminer with the new bat file

thanks for your feedback.

http://ccn.mine-coin.de is totally green and  Kevondo is alone the.

check out the green ;)

We have added a node.js implementation of Cannacoin to the Github repository along with some example code-snippets to get you started.  You can view the project at http://github.com/cannacoin-project/node-cannacoin.

Node-cannacoin is a cannacoin client for Node.js. It is a fork of the excellent Kapitalize Bitcoin Client (now removed from GitHub) intended for use with cannacoin. The purpose of this repository is:

• Provide a one-stop resource for the Node.js developer to get started with cannacoin integration.
• Prevent would-be cannacoin web developers worrying whether a Bitcoin client will work out of the box.
• Promote Node.js development of cannacoin web apps.
• Identify and address any incompatibilities with the cannacoin and Bitcoin APIs that exist now and/or in the future.

I am scheduling the first episode of the Cannacoin podcast and would love to field the community for questions and comments that can be answered by myself (lead developer). My goal is to create a platform where we can open and freely discuss Cannacoin progress, development and trends(ie markets, news etc) as well as any other interesting topics that might spring up during the show.

If anyone would like to get your question or comment on the podcast please feel free to post  in the reddit thread I've started here (http://www.reddit.com/r/cannacoin/comments/23yuis/the_cannacoin_podcast_episode_001_post_your/). I'd be glad to try and answer as many as I can. I'm also exploring potential outlets (ie Soundcloud, iTunes, Justin.tv, ustream, google hangouts) so if any of you have a preference please let me know...

Looks like the coin is raising since your visit and presentation last week, hashrate in my pool has quadratrippled! and so is the global hashrate!

yeah, i even had to quit solomining and start pool mining ;D

in general i have a really good feeling about the dev-activitiy i can see so far, nice communication and good ideas!

any linux gurus out there that can help me get the canna coin qt wallet build done correctly.

just looking to install the linux qt wallet on ubunutu 13.10

thanks !!! :)

There should be an install guide in /docs/ however, if you still need some help come join us on IRC and I can try to guide you through the build.  https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/cannacoin/

I encourage everyone to go signup and vote so we can have more exchanges available to the Cannacoin community! Please vote for Cannacoin coin here: https://www.mintpal.com/voting (https://www.mintpal.com/voting), due to the recent abuse of the system by bots, only registered users with a trade history are permitted to vote for coins. Every user is limited to 5 (five) votes per hour.

MintPal also accepts payment votes! Each 0.00020000 BTC received will count for 1 vote. All payment votes will be publicly visible, as you can see by clicking the addresses for cannacoin (1NHYf83ggsQgMEy8RFpYtHGtY4qgpSb1PY (https://blockchain.info/address/1NHYf83ggsQgMEy8RFpYtHGtY4qgpSb1PY)) and it will go directly to improving MintPal's infrastructure. Payment votes are automatically credited every 15 minutes after 1 network confirm.

MintPal take the voting winner every Monday evening (UTC), they announce the official closing time earlier in the day.

Another exciting announcement for today, Cannacoin is now listed on Coinmarketcap.com!

Please remove ccn.okaypool.com from the list of mining pools - can no longer access the site and pool owner has not replied to my requests to withdraw around 500 CCN balance, auto payout was not completed from 50 CCN and manual requests were ignored..  I have emailed through the ECC pool support / contact to make sure it was received.  Please users do not mine at any pools @ okaypool.com as judging by many other forum members you will be sorry when they run with your coins- don't let this happen to you. Now mining at ccn.youngwebsolutions.com who are paying out

Thanks for the positive review.. Although this is the minimum you might expect from a pool!!

You are not the first one to complain of withdraw issues and I myself was a victim of the problem(it was eventually resolved and I got my coins) however, I have removed Okaypool from the list of available pools until they can get their act together... thanks letting me know there is still an issue over there.

I will personally vouch for Suremine as they have been very professional and responsive and seem to have their act together.  I encourage anyone looking for a stable mine to give them a shot!

We have released the first ever episode of The Cannacoin Podcast where we answer some questions from the community, discuss news and talk more in depth about Cannacoin! I am looking forward to hearing some feedback from the community and exploring this avenue for educating users about CCN! I'm working on getting added to iTunes and should be up later this week/weekend.

The Cannacoin Podcast - Episode 001 (https://soundcloud.com/cannacoin/cannacoin-podcast-episode-001)

Great podcast.  I recommend anyone who is not sure about this coin to listen to it. 

Thanks hybridsole, I thought this might be a good introduction to help kick things off. I'll be working on a lot more media content here in the near future (live streams etc.) so stay tuned  ;D

Thanks for the Shoutout on the podcast! https://ccn.suremine.com (https://ccn.suremine.com) is now happily mining away at 20KHs! I appreciate the support.

The network hash has just passwd 100MH/s ..... things are taking off!

Mr. Cannacoin,

I said something about this coin in this subject, please share your wise words in there as well:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=470768

They have a green light, the race isn't over yet

This is a payment processing service for fiat currency, this is in no way threatening to kill Cannacoin or the idea of a decentralized currency for the cannabis industry.  This does however offer some room for competition to eliminate the middleman fees and bank fees that might come with MediSwipe by using Cannacoin :-)  

Edit: centralized merchant solutions via fiat currency != DIY decentralized crypto currencies

"might come", you mean 100% for sure anyone using MediSwipe is going to get used and abused for as much as MediSwipe can take.

Cryptocoins are the future. Fiat is not.

Accepting cryptocoins as payment at a dispensary is a smart move. If you own a small dispensary, cryptocoins may be your one chance at being a millionaire in 5 years.

We now have a faucet online which provides free Cannacoins! The goal is to help introduce new comers to Cannacoins at the same time as use the faucet as a resource to educate! If you would like your service or site linked on the faucet, please contact team@cannacoin.cc

http://cannacoin.cc/faucet (http://cannacoin.cc/faucet)

Q: What is a faucet?
A: A faucet is used to give Cannacoins out for free to each visitor! Sign up by entering your address and get some free CCN!
Note: You can only enter once per round, if we detect the same IP or a proxy, you'll not be paid and will be blacklisted.

Today we're happy to release the CannaTip bot for IRC! Now anyone has the ability to send and recieve Cannacoins from one user to another over IRC! Come join us in #Cannacoin on irc.freenode.net to get started!

We have a 2000 CCN giveaway going on at NWGT and Reddit.

http://www.nwgt.org/showthread.php?20055-GIVEAWAY-2000-Cannacoins-to-Reddit-NWGT-users!

http://www.reddit.com/r/cannacoin/comments/25gg5w/giveaway_2000_cannacoins_to_redditnwgt_users/

Bumped giveway to 2500 CCN. 

Hi guys,
  I finished porting my faucet to CannaCoin.  Check it out and let me know how it works.

http://sillypothead.com/ccnfaucet/

I'm setting it at one dispense every 2 hours to start off.  Got a link in there to vote for Mintpal.  so maybe use this as an incentive to vote.

I support all cannabis and hemp related movements and coins.  keep up the good work.

here's my thc faucet if y'all want some THC too.

http://sillypothead.com/thcfaucet/

thanks for checking it out.

Thanks for your support! Do you need any help formating the page itself to look a little more user friendly? If you need some help I can quickly throw up some CSS and a better layout to help attract users... let me know.

well i haven't worried too much on how it looks..

I may start putting some tables in there to give it some kind of structure.  but yet i'm not a css person.

if you don't mine, i'll take some suggestions and layout and try to incorporated in there. 

trying to make it modular so it can be modified easily for other coins too.

thanks. =)

yep, it works! donated 100ccn

thanks for trying it out and the donation!

i've up the dispense a bit just so it's over 1.

We are happy to announce that http://cannacoin.cc has now been open sourced and their is a public repository available at http://github.com/cannacoin-project/cannacoin.cc

We've had a few users ask for the ability to contribute to the website and now you can! Please feel free to check it out and contribute if you have the ability! By open sourcing the website project my hopes are to have some more community driven activity to help shape the overall image, design and content.  Let the coding begin!

"only the top coin will be added."

I think they should just add BlackCoin, MintCoin, DOGE and PPC without a vote and let the other coins battle it out.

Cannacoin blog launched:

http://highoncannacoin.com/

Just want drop in and to give a big thanks to all the donors to the faucet.

http://sillypothead.com/ccnfaucet/

it's around 5+ CCN per dispense now.  =D

remember to keep voting on Mintpal and get your treat afterwards or vice versa.

Cool man :)

Today was a great day for Cannacoin, we reached #108 on CoinMarketCap.com as well as reached .00004000 (BTC) per CCN on Swisscex! I want to thank everyone for their recent support and contributions as we've seen a surge in community activity over the past few weeks. We have some new announcements coming soon I think people will be excited about so keep up the good work and stay tuned for more updates!

Can't wait to read more! Excited!

http://coinjoint.info/guide-mine-favorite-coin-betarigs-com/

I have a quick announcement/update on development to share..

Cannacoin 0.8.7.1 Updates coming soon! Development/Beta Support needed!

I have been working hard on updating the Cannacoin protocol/client to version 0.8.7.1 which will bring us up to date with crypto standards and also patch OpenSSL heartbleed. Following open source standards I want the new updates to be public and available for peer review before implementing. If there are any there is anyone with development backgrounds or with history working with the Bitcoin/Litecoin/Cryptocurrency protocol that wish to help with build support and testing please contact me to join to project. As it stands, the source is completed and builds are compiling without problems, we just need some more eyes and people that have a technical background who can help with build support. Here's a few sneak peeks to get you excited for what's to come:

You can vote for CCN now :)

Hi just noticed theres another CCN out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=474570.msg5234572

No activity since Apr. 27th, and Cannacoin surpassed it on the Mintpal vote as well as is now on http://www.lovecrypto.com/vote

Met with the Cannacoin team today in Seattle.  We've got a stellar team -- the best I've seen.  Open-source, open-community, 100% transparent.  We are building Cannacoin cooperatives that will take Washington state by storm this year.  Anyone else that is like-minded and wants to be involved in this project come to our IRC #cannacoin and get some free coins... it's almost always raining CCN in there! ;)

We've got some really awesome things in the works!

Did I also mention the Cannacoin team spans West Coast to East Coast, from Washington state, through Oregon, all the way down to San Diego, over to Florida, up to New York, across the pond to the U.K., and we've only just begun?

Here's some notes from the teams development log as it pertains our Cannacoin 2.0 protocol/wallet updates.

Completed:
- Debugging for version 0.6.3 - 0.8.7 updates completed (All previous issues resolved).
- Source posted to github for peer review (https://github.com/Cannacoin-Project/Cannacoin-0.8.7.1)
- The first sync of version 2.0 was made ~3AM utilizing new Leveldb blockchain (Tested on Mac OS X & Ubuntu, Windows to come).
- Version 2.0 node running 15hr+ with no problems (peer connections/peers.dat OK, Transaction send/rec OK,  Send/receive of blockheaders OK, no debug.log errors).
- Version 2.0 Mining test completed (Correct 12.5 rewards/block height. Also tested immature tx/mature tx states and coins are spendable as expected.)
- Non-Static Cannacoin-QT builds for Mac OS X completed (prepping for production/static build).

To Do:
- Windows cannacoind test build & network sync.
- Windows & Linux QT build
- Test scenario for RPC commands as well as proper wallet import/export.
- Community Suggestions?

Note: The "Cannacoin 0.8.7.1" github repoistory will be merged alongside the main "Cannacoin" repoistory as a seperate branch (Version 2.0.0.0) after peer review.

nice in tacoma area myself lots of open minds around
TacomaTHC

I'm starting a Cannacoin meetup in the local area if you're ever interested in joining. The invitation is open to anyone in the local area and interested in learning more about cannacoin or for those looking for collaborators looking to build projects and teams. I'll have more details hopefully later tonight.

Bill,
Let's hear your ideas for how we could grow Cannacoin in Tacoma.  Are you familiar with http://www.nwgt.org/ ?

Cannacoin is being built in tandem with NWGT and will be leveraging it's vast network to implement payment solutions for the Cannabis industry in Washington state.  Long-term, this network will be expanded to include other states as well.  We are exploring all options to expand this network and are completely open to all ideas and others' participation. 

I hope you come join us on Freenode IRC in #cannacoin!

Cannacoin-Qt version 2.0.0.0 Release:

The team and I are proud to bring you the latest version of Cannacoin v2.0 which has patched the OpenSSL heartbleed exploit, fixed transaction malleability as well as introduced some new functionality and a new splash screen at startup to the wallet. There's a few other cool new features I'm sure you may find in the wallet like "copy transaction id", "Coin Control" or QR codes for Windows users. In really though, a lot of the changes and fixes we've implemented have been "under the hood" so to speak including a number of performance enhancements as well as peer2peer network improvements. Overall, this release will bring us up to date with Litecoin 0.8.7.1 (if anyones interested in the base build) and also provide us with a stable platform to build from.

I want to thank everyone who was involved in this release for all the hard work and countless hours of debugging, compiling, build testing etc.. this couldn't have happened without you! Special thanks to RedPhil, Plddr, TheBoffin, Hybridsole, Hazard, MystPhysX any anyone else I forgot to mention <3!

You're arguments are not even valid and are incorrect.

Basically canna launched a month after c-coin. And the original canna OP post was after c-coin as well.
Those are the only facts you need to know to know that Canna needs to change its ticker...asap.
Additionally, the fact that c-coin is on more exchanges only shoots canna in the foot when it comes to ever getting on those exchanges and it becomes a race as to which coin will be listed first because both coins will not be listed with the same ticker.

It is not like CCN was an old buried ticker symbol. When the Canna OP was created CCN was in use just a few days prior (so readily available to see).

When an outside investor, whether it be time or money, sees the lack of due diligence to check for a ticker symbol conflict it is not good.

420 would have worked, but it too is now snagged by cannabiscoin. MMJ is available, but cannabiscoin uses mmjcoin as their facebook.

What's left?

CANNA
SATIVA
INDICA
HYBRID
MJCOOP
KAYA
BUD
GREEN
MMJ (?)

Take your pick. But now that you have some activity swirling around in your community it might be best to act now. Just doing the above research showed me cannabiscoin (420) seems to have feet on the ground and is hustling up exclusive deals with dispensaries.

I am for all the cannabis coins and spoke with colleagues years ago (yes years) that the mmj community should be using btc because of all the banking, credit card issues and many of the additional federal laws passed that prevented the safe keeping or transport of funds by the mmj industry.

Good luck with your endeavors. As you can tell, duplicate ticker symbols are a pet peeve of mine. Sorry if it seems "ranty"

http://ccn.youngwebsolutions is now updated to the V2 wallet!
Looking forward to receive more miners!

I was basing my information on that Bitcointalk thread, which was correct... I was merely making an observation.



Unfortunately, CCN is used for two coins and in my opinion, I actually would prefer XCN, but we are already well on our way and have a much larger userbase at this point than C-coin.

We are not concerned that C-coin is on any exchanges listed as CCN.  This won't cause any confusion for our main purpose of the coin because we are building a payment network for NWGT.org and all of our 16,000 users on that forum will have specific instructions on which exchanges to use and how to obtain CCN for their purposes.



We are not an anonymous group of people on the internet just making some nifty altcoin.  We are building very solid payment rails using Cannacoin for NWGT.org as well as businesses and websites currently in the works.


Since you are all for coins such as these, why not join forces with us and combine our efforts together?  I personally see a way out of this dilemma by working together, having the C-coin team join with the Cannacoin team.

We have some new guides at NWGT.org, I will post the new links when they are all finished.

Looks like you guys just hit Bittrex. Congrats!

Yes sir!

As soon as the blockchain syncs up, I will make a market over there :)

Announcement: Cannacoin now on US based exchange Bittrex.com!

The team and I have heard the calls from the community and today, we're excited to announce that Cannacoin has partnered with Bittrex.com to bring the community an order book for CCN/BTC trading!

Our aim is to provide reputable exchanges that provide a not only great service but great relationships to our community hence why we're limited to only 2 exchanges. I hope that by incorporating a large exchange like Bittrex it will not only strengthen our current economy but it will help to bring in new investors and support which will help to build the Cannacoin economy at a safe and sustainable rate and prepare us for futures exchanges such as MintPal or Cryptsy.

I encourage everyone to hop over and show Bittrex some support and start trading CCN today!:

A new player serving the youthful US legal cannabis industry is rising – and this time, it seems the sky’s the limit.

The idea of a cannabis altcoin is nothing new. Potcoin, Dopecoin and Leafcoin have all had a stake in the space, and have met with varying degrees of success, and now Cannacoin is inching into the market with its promise to achieve real changes in the industry.

Born out of the Northwest Greenthumb community centered on Seattle, Cannacoin is designed to “provide an excellent well balanced transactional currency for cannabis users and supporters around the globe,” creator Josh told Coinjoint back in March.

“So much demand”

Josh, or to give him his more popular subreddit pseudonym, Subcreative, envisages the need for the legal cannabis industry to have access to a currency which is both more flexible than traditional means and able to create some much-needed slack for various elements of the supply chain.

As Coinjoint reports, state regulators are looking to impose hefty 25% tax levies on producers, processors and retailers in addition to point of sales tax. A cryptocurrency solution hence seems an obvious innovation in order to loosen the grip of the powers that be.

In the pipeline are POS terminals and contactless payment cards using the same near field communication technology as contactless debit cards.

The project has its skeptics, however, and creators were quick to rebut the naysayers on forums such as Bitcointalk.

“Why Cannacoin? We already run and operate Washington state’s largest medical marijuana social platform […] and 1,000 local medical patients ready to accept and use Cannacoin on our website and within the community,” user Cannacoin wrote upon the launch in February.

This is huge news for Cannacoin as we can now start to market and push these solutions to local dispensaries and other retail outlets (real world/online). I am looking forward to building more of these tools and incorporating plugins for services like Wordpress, Joomla and have had a blast learning and creating this solution for CCN!

I am eager to see the market acceptance. This coin has a great potential.

Richie,

I have tried to get in contact with them.  If you just read through their thread, you will see they are not open to discussion.

-Patrick

*edit* It looks like C-Coin is going to pull off exchanges, change algorithms and ticker, and relaunch. Congratulations to them.

Nice work on this.

Look forward to continuing to help do what I can.

Hi all! I did some more research on your coin last night and love the work you're doing. I first became aware of Cannacoin as a result of the Bittrex trading guide you produced which I shared with our SolarCoin investors. Thank you! I'd like to offer some SolarCoins to whoever did that, if you want to post an SLR address, I'll send you some as thanks.

Anyhoo... I decided to get some CannaCoin last night. This is only the second altcoin I have decided to invest in. As a board member of the SolarCoin Foundation, my time is dedicated to that effort primarily but I just wanted to share with you that you have another person supporting your coin. :D

Cheers!

PS: Oh and Cannacart??? frickin' awesome.  :o

Nice to see you on board Epiphany! To give credit where it's due, a member of our very own community (over at NWGT.org) BIGGY_TREEZ created the guide so I'll make sure to pass the word along to him about your offer :-)

Again, thanks for taking the time to show your support and give us some feedback I really appreciate it! You can expect more exciting new tools like Cannacart in the near future!

Nice Try, But No

Coming from the guy that posts in crypto meth... You'd have to do better than that, care to elaborate on your thoughts?

It's very nice to see some action over here I'll tell ya.  So what are some of the real world uses of this coin at this time?  I've been watching CCN it a while and I like what I've learned so far but I'm not sure I fully grasp what the coins is and will be used for.  I do see a very good potential for this coin and believe it has a good community with much potential for growth.

I see a few coins in similar to this and I can't help but feel my coins would be worth investing on CCN.  Please keep up the great work as I look forward to seeing this coin progress as time passes.  ;)

This coins is doing very well, and looks every week more promising. I have upgraded my hardware to face new miners in the future. You will see a note when you are on the new server. The IP is changed due to getting a new dedicated, DDOS server.

If you have a slow DNS server of your ISP, use google DNS or openDNS. (or what a few minutes)
Your miners should auto-connect as soon as DNS is updated with new IP

PS, if you know what you are doing, you can connect direct to stratum ip: stratum+tcp://62.210.139.65:3350

Let me know if there are any questions!

Announcement: New Cannacoin API for Developers!

Today we've launched our new Cannacoin developer API which features network/coin data as well as market data from both Bittrex.com and Swisscex.com. Need a quick arbitrage calculator? Want to build a ticker? Need to create a cannastats or bot of your own? Now you can! Below is a list of available data points you can use in your own applications and tools! In the future we are looking to incorperate a full authentication system with API keys and more scope definitions. Over time you will see minor changes to the API but we plan to have everything documented and hosted on the official site soon.

Thanks for your thoughtful words.  We are working hard to cover as many aspects as possible.  I and others (BIGGY_TREEZ, rbico, wizardpie, Peezor, and others) have taken initiative to get some of these side projects done such as the Cannacoin/Bittrex guide and these NWGT logos so we have custom gear (t-shirts/stickers) for the Cannacoin store. 

We also participate regularly on the reddit and NWGT forums as well as on #cannacoin IRC @ Freenode.

Feel free to join us sometime.

Ya, well, this isn't your typical community.  NWGT had 200+ attendees at their BBQ last year in Washington state and this year we are making a special push to grow NWGT alongside Cannacoin/Bitcoin.

It's really fun and special to work with medical cannabis patients and develop a viable payment platform for people outside of credit cards and cash.

What our very own Cannacoin dev (Peezor aka Subcreative) is building is awesome and we are networking throughout the industry with serious people who want to be a part of the future of these types of payments.  Cannacoin just like Bitcoin is ultimately an experiment that so far has been very successful so we are hyped to continue to develop this platform and integrate through the APIs into many applications.

Bought... 10k coins from the exchanges... and will hold... my mining power is not enough to earn many coins..

I'm going to mine a few at http://poolparty.io/

The party's at poolparty so why not join the party?  :P

Why not ;)
I picked up a few coins yesterday.
I'll mine this a few days to see how it goes :)

Wassup guys?

I'm super busy but hope all is well.

Cheers

Announcement: Wed July 16, 2014 - Cannacoin Meeting

I want to announce that the Cannacoin team will be hosting a townhall meeting over our own private Mumble voice server next Wednesday July 16th ~3PM PST. If anyone is interested in participating or contributing to the discussion please contact us at team@cannacoin.cc and we'll send you an invite with the connection details.

We look forward to holding these meetings in hopes that it will help drive project development and discussion as well as bring in outside perspective on new ideas and innovation into Cannacoin.  The upcoming meetings agenda is scheduled to discuss business development as well as provide an opportunity for outsiders to find a place where they may be able to contribute to an already a pre-existing project or bring something new to the table.  We need all the help we can get and we're hoping this will be a perfect outlet for growth.

Proud to say I picked quite a few thousand on your pool :)

Anybody here interested in buying my account @ zeusminer.com
It has 304,4 USD store credit, i'm willing to part with it for 250 usd


pm me if you are interested.

Thank for the advice I'm not much for mining I'll take all your advice into consideration and thanks for offering to help I really appreciate that.  I'm so kicking myself for grabbing a fat sack of Cannacoins when I first stumbled on this coin.  >:(


Many thanks for the detailed update!

At least it's not exactly like Weedcoin, the ultimate coin in which people just buy things for themselves. I'm all up for research oriented coins. Buying some.

One thing you should know about Cannacoin is that it has a very dedicated team and most of us have invested upwards of $1500 or more in resources and that doesn't include the 1000's of hours of time spent developing APIs, community development, meetings, etc.

Just as a quick sneak peek into some of the tools being developed.. Right now I'm working a merchant processing solution for Cannacoin called Cannapay. Cannapay will offer full exchange/cashout abilities (to BTC or other cryptos) and eventually direct fiat money transmission via WA state for vendors. All user data will be stored securely so not even we have access (nothing stored plaintext except email) and we will also utilize 2FA for added security via Google Auth along with other cool features :-)

Not only will Cannapay act as a central hub for managing your merchant processing, but it will also integrate a full API so that users can access their invoices, withdraw/deposits, and more all via secure HMAC based authentication.  Im excited to share this with you and look forward to continued development on what I hope to be a key application in the success of Cannacoin. Check back soon for more updates on Cannapay!

This really is great work. I sent you a PM!  ;D

I agree.  I hope you decide to join us in building Cannacoin going forward.

Cheers,

Hello everyone,

I am in the initial planning stage of a Cannacoin meetup in Seattle to take place over the course of two days on the weekend of September 13th-14th. This will be to bring together growers, vendors, Cannacoin developers, NWGT.org community members, and others to meet each other in person and form a stronger partnership for the success of Cannacoin. The purpose of the this convention will be to share ideas and resources for the growth of our political, economic, and social movement with Cannacoin and NWGT as the backbone.

As we all know, the Cannabis industry is going through revolutionary changes and Cannacoin is going to be a part of it.
Our core developer Josh has been hard at work developing Cannapay and we believe now is the time to come together and utilize this infrastructure to make a push towards decentralizing and empowering growers, vendors, artists, and developers with this open-source project.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=482425.msg7942295#msg7942295

Please let me know if you are interested in joining us. We currently do not have a location selected, but it will likely be somewhere convenient along the I-5 corridor outside of downtown Seattle.

My hope is that we can gather a group of 6-8 people and start hashing out our bigger plans for the future.

Cheers, Patrick

I intend on being at the convention and look forward to meeting as many new faces as possible. Tell your friends, this will be a great opportunity to get introduced and learn more about Cannacoin and some of the people working behind the scenes!

What I like most is the grass roots, localized effort. Given that I am located about as far away from you as possible on this Continent (I live in New Brunswick, Canada), I am contributing as an investor at this point. But I was thinking, I read alot of your forum chats while doing due diligence, and I realized what a great community you have there for growers to work together locally. When Canada finally gets Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister and we legalize pot across the country, perhaps a local group of growers in my neck of the woods could model themselves off of your efforts and adopt Cannacoin too. If that began to happen in small geographic locations smattered throughout the continent, Cannacoin could connect a number of like-minded efforts anywhere cannibis is grown. I realize that's a leap into the future, but we can make it happen, and I can help. :)

We are a small but tight-knit group, that's for sure.  Yes it is grass roots and localized.  Everyone's contribution is helpful.  Where we need the most help is maintaining a social presence here and on our Cannacoin reddit.  We are really fortunate to work with SubCreative and his brother, and growing NWGT and Cannacoin is long-term goal.  They benefit each other.  My vision is a political, social, and economic movement that can help to decentralize and reduce the ability of large corporations and banks to take control of Cannabis and dominate.

The work being done on Cannapay and NWGT behind the scenes is amazing.  I hope you can come out to Seattle some day and meet with the group.

Cheers

http://www.reddit.com/r/cannacoin/comments/2c6zj4/proofofwork_or_proofofstake/

A lot has been discussed about proof-of-work versus proof-of-stake in regards to decentralization of a cryptocurrency. Both of these methods of transaction signing attempt to solve the unsolvable: fairness and decentralization.

On one hand, early miners of any proof-of-work coin are essentially rewarded with a lot more coins because of the low difficulty. In history of some coins, these people have sometimes been referred to as "insta-miners". A pre-mine is when a coin is already mined prior to being released. Any coin with a pre-mine is highly suspicious if not completely defunct from the get-go. With a lack of any shareholder oversight or board of directors with public voting power, any pre-mined coin is a potential scam despite the promises of an anonymous developer (which are clearly worth nothing).

In a proof-of-stake network, those who have more coins staked will receive more coins (it is proportional). Therefore, one is only shifting the idea of "fairness" from one group to another. From the early comers to the larger holders. Either system is rewarding investors for their investments. And both systems are fundamentally the same from an economic perspective: expending resources (time and money) in order to acquire other resources (coins). Whether you do this through mining or purchasing coins, is an irrelevant part of the economics picture.

Just because you cannot mine a pure proof-of-stake does not mean you can not exchange work for coins. You are just exchanging a different type of work - money and time that you buy Bitcoin with that you exchange for other coins.
The real fundamental flaw in proof-of-work consensus is the 51% attack. This is what Jed McCaleb designed Ripple for - solving the issue of network security and how to prevent double-spending.

Ripple and NXT are clear proof that other methods of consensus can accomplish the same goals as a proof-of-work network, because they move the work off the blockchain and into the real-world, where instead of exchanging electricity (money) for coins, you exchange money (money) for coins.

What are we doing here? We are changing the incentives and methods of transaction signing.

From an economics perspective, it doesn't matter if I pay you with 4 quarters, 1 dollar bill, 10 dimes, 150 pesos, as long as you accept them as payment, they are good currency. How those coins were acquired are of little interest to a merchant. He doesn't know if you stole that money, earned it through hard work, won the lotto, or inherited it.

He only cares that he received the financial compensation in exchange for his goods and services.

In the grand-scheme of things, we are seeing from Bitcoin, Ripple, NXT, FIAT currencies, Gold, etc is that currencies are not used because they are decentralized -- they are used because they serve as a medium of exchange.

If it was about decentralization, Bitcoin would have already lost, because the majority of the network is controlled by only a handful of massive mining operations.

What are some problems with investing through proof-of-work? It causes money to flow into wasting excessive amounts of energy. Money that could be spent investing in other areas of the network are instead invested in maintaining a ledger (blockchain) through wasting computing cycles on brute forcing SHA256 or Scrypt hashes.

Ripple, NXT, and other methods of consensus don't force people into putting work into a coin in order for the marketplace to work. Instead of expending resources on maintaining an inefficient network - resources are expended on building on top of a network. Using that electricity and money to build something - not just prove to the world that your network is 5% more decentralized than someone else's network.

Because at the end of the day, decentralization and fairness are completely subjective.
I could argue from every direction all day, but the bigger questions - what is the best approach to building a network and what offers people the easiest way to become a part of the network?

Do we really expect everyone to setup miners and ASICs in their basements? Or buy video cards? Are we not excluding the poor and those with the least amount of tech knowledge from participating?

Continuing with proof-of-work will continue to exclude non-tech people in participating in the network, and it certainly doesn't solve the decentralization problem either.

I applaud the idea of Bitcoin and the work of Satoshi Nakamoto, but there's only one coin that proof-of-work has really worked out for over the long-term and that is Bitcoin. The majority of others are just copy-cats with some extra gimmicks that add very little real-world utility.

So I ask to myself, what is the purpose of the Cannacoin network? How can the blockchain be used in other aspects of our lives other than currency? Why isn't participating in a decentralized network as simple as downloading and running a client (e.g.: p2p file-sharing, NXT staking)?

People are rewarded for running a bit torrent client because they get access to the network and all of it's resources.
There's no incentive at all to run a Cannacoin client. And even those who are mining will find they cannot actually recoup their investment because any selling would crash the price of the coin.

What happened to all of that work? I will tell you.

Nearly all of the proof-of-work that flows into Cannacoin and other altcoins is transferred right into Bitcoin.
Neither proof-of-work nor proof-of-stake solve the problem of fairness and decentralization.

At least proof-of-stake gives more people an opportunity to participate in the network and gives an incentive to running a client.
It also gives those of us with large quantities of Cannacoin the opportunity to gift those coins to Northwest Green Thumb so that even the least technical person has the opportunity to become a node on the network by simply running a client.

I currently hold 169,900 Cannacoins, and hope that one day we can move to a proof-of-stake network and that I can gift most of these coins to NWGT members so that we can further decentralize the network.

I would also like to work with SirPokeSmottington in setting up a Cannacoin Foundation and a Cannacoin Reserve that acts as a central fund for coin development and growing our political, social, and economic movement.

Coins staked from this fund would be completely transparent and given to NWGT members as rewards for community involvement. Through democratic means, all funds staked from these coins would be put to a public vote on NWGT.org.

Cheers, Patrick

Excellent post Patrick.  :) This is exactly the reason the SolarCoin team is looking to move to PoS as well. Our massive pre-mine (coins to be granted to solar electricity producers over the next 40 years) still needs to be "decentralized and automated" and we envision utilizing something like Ethereum to achieve that end. But that is still a technology whose concept needs to be proven in the coming months. If we can ensure our network is more stable, those future challenges will be easier to tackle with one less problem to worry about now (i.e. PoW vs PoS).

It's exciting to be part of both of these communities as we try to figure out how to navigate in this brave new world.  :)

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/20a1/index.htm

I'd like to share something with everyone here to understand my thought process on business, decision making, and taking action.

My experience with "community decision making" is a lack of the ability to take action, make decisions, and try new things for fear of "not achieving perfection". I always hear this from idealists: "Let's come up with something really cool before we make any changes or try something new." or you've probably had this experience with your spouse or roommates. You say, "Let's try moving the couch and TV over here, and the table over there, and switch things around to see if this works better" and you are met with "No I don't think that's a good idea, I like it this way, and there's no need to change it" This is why some retail stores always look the same, year after year, and some homes look the same, year after year, and some people are always the same, year after year. They are afraid to try something new for even a few days. And 10 minutes after you make the changes they say "I don't like it". Well of course they don't like it, because it wasn't their idea and they are afraid to let go of their incessant need to control. They are afraid of change, and this is one of the biggest causes of human suffering in the world - fear of change.

It is good to be critical and have discussions, but don't criticize or counter other's ideas without offering solutions otherwise you are essentially trying to control the way others think rather than trying to solve a problem through cooperation.
One of the greatest businessmen I ever worked for taught me some great lessons on how to be successful and here's some of what I took away from him.

First: Don't ever wait for others to try something new. Just do it. Try it for two weeks. Don't stand around and argue about small details. You often will never know if something works unless you try it. Many people do things the way they've been taught for years because they believe it's the best way. What is the worst thing that can happen by trying something? You can always try something else.
This is why it doesn't hurt to try something new. If it doesn't work out, at least you've learned something. If you never try new things, then you will never have that opportunity to learn.

Second: Don't take anything personal. Holding grudges and overinvesting emotionally in your own thoughts and ideas of how things should be usually leads to exhaustion. One becomes exhausted when they care too much and don't see reciprocation. It's not about you, and it's not about me.

Third: Don't ever be afraid to walk away. Sometimes walking away is the best way for things to sort themselves out. People often do not take action unless you give them space to take action. If you are constantly there try and solve all the problems then others cannot attempt to solve these problems.

Fourth: Cut your losses. If you find something is not worth your time and energy, and you've invested money into it and are afraid to go left or right, write off your losses and chalk it up as a lesson learned. The thousands of dollars I've lost on different ideas has provided me with much better learning experiences than the tens of thousands of dollars spent going to a University.

Hi

Found this on IRC:


I had the same problem on my linux wallet.

Athuros

Should be all good now, we had a server restart and our instance of cannacoin wasn't started at boot so we've changed that.  Sorry about the hiccup.

There's a lot of confusion and misunderstandings regarding Cannacoin.

We will be adding Cannacoin to the forum as a means for tipping other users. Right now, if someone gives some great advice, there's no way to compensate them other than saying, thank you.

We want to encourage really good content and create an incentive for people to be good community members. One way to do this, is to have a Cannacoin wallet integrated with the website. You will be able to tip other users with Cannacoin.

Why use the blockchain technology for this? For starters, it offers a completely decentralized, transparent, and community driven ledger. All transactions and information is transparent via the blockchain explorer.

With the decentralized blockchain, we don't have to build a ledger and a server to host transactions and security. The technology is cryptographically secure.

All we are doing, is essentially adding a micro-payment ecosystem on top of NWGT.

Whether you like it or not is irrelevant. This is not a democratic decision. This is the vision of the operators of NWGT. If you believe in Jameson and JP, you will support them in their vision of creating a truly unique social, economic, and political organization under the NWGT name.

Cheers,
Patrick

http://www.nwgt.org/showthread.php?21041-The-purpose-of-Cannacoin-on-NWGT

Tough crowd over there...  :o

I think the tipping idea is brilliant!

Yeah the folks at nwgt are experts at growing cannabis and that requires slow incremental changes in growing inputs, it goes against their grain to jump to quick into something new. But, we are comming around and more are doing their own research.

There are many people engaged in trolling there... trying to pick fights and create drama.  They want to blame Cannacoin, Peezor, Jameson, for the collapse of the community on NWGT but in reality it is these people who are destroying it with their negative attitudes towards pretty much anything that they don't agree with.

That being said, there's so many wonderful people on NWGT I think that this turbulence is only temporary and if anything, NWGT is really just going through some long-term growing pains regarding it's direction. 

Anyone who followed the BBQ drama knows that there's a lot of talk sometimes but not always a lot of action.  We are trying to invigorate the community even if there's some initial resistance to it.

Group Dynamics= storming, forming and working. How the storm leads to forming is everything. Concessions given to mostly positive leader or a couple of leaders could set this right. Maybe the tipbot could be a like button while the group forms up around positive leaders. These leaders should be neutral or slightly negative to be accepted by the widest number of green tbumbers.

I love the tipping idea.  It's done wonders for other coins like doge.  Copy the best and if possible improve on it and you'll have a winner.


Good luck!

Why don't you just spell out your threats on here for everyone to see?  What's your real name by the way?

Yes, I've heard you have a personal vendetta Jameson and Peezor.  I don't know anything about this to be honest.  If you want to spell out to me your story, but please do not lump me in as a criminal or a scammer.  I've been working on blockchain technology for 2 years and I am really just a computer nerd with a passion for Cannabis.

You're attempts to try and label Cannacoin as a "pre-mine" or a scam are completely false and now you're taking your personal attacks and false claims from a separate forum to BTCTalk? You really are passionate about your distain for Cannacoin and crypto currencies and yet this is a crypto currency community. Those that are apart of the community here can easily help you to understand that your claims about this coin being a pre-mine or scam are completely false.  Just like your claims that cannacoin wallets can be stolen from the creators at a whim... it's called cryptography and decentralized distributed peer-to-peer networks, please do some poking around to research these concepts there's plenty of info here to help you understand better.

Edit: You attempt to make the owners of NWGT look like gun holding theives yet the story is in fact that Jameson (the sites owner) was robbed (also not at gun point) and not the other way around.
  

That quote you're referring to in particular is clearly during our beta testing phases prior (if you cared to read) to actual launch. This means that none, not 1 of the coins mined on our test network during that period are apart of the actual LIVE network used during our launch. If you need some help proving or researching this I can help you out.  Actually remember, I already did this for you but you choose to ignore the information provided as fact.


This is Josh by the way, you're calling me a thief yet I've never even had a simple conversation in real life and you don't know the first thing about me other than what you'd like to make up in your mind. You have no evidence or proof that I've ever stolen from you or anyone on NWGT ever, if someone wanted to step forward and confirm your please be my guest however please don't go around spreading false information about people who have done nothing to you.


Refer to my first comment, there are 0 pre-mined coins from this network at launch. If you cared to research you'd actually learn that my statement is true unlike a lot of other coins.


I can pull up your direct quote from NWGT if you'd like...

regarding IP, Bitcoin is what's called pseudonymous and means that unless you specifically reveal the information behind an address or wallet you are completely safe and anonymous.  If you're worried about an IP you could use services that will route you through a proxy or use something like electrum over Tor, these are 100% anonymous and proven to work.  In the case of NWGT, not a single user's IP address will be leaked because the service is hosted under NWGT and not under the users.    


Ross ubrich and his illegal drug market are a completely different topic and really unrelated, if you want to discuss the fed and bitcoin why don't bother to look it up and follow some of the news regarding the trends over the last  year (especially since the closure of the silkroad and arrest of ross) since you're so interested. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are NOT illegal/banned etc.


That's why you shouldn't be getting so bent out of shape and come off as uneducated about the the circumstances, you simply can't hold a civil convo or keep your composure.  The fact of the matter is the you're upset that a tipping platform using Cannacoin is being implemented on a site/forum dedicated to Cannabis growing and the medical marijuana culture(which also happens to be owned/run by the people behind Cannacoin).  I don't think you're going to find anyone on this board who will agree that a tipping platform (regardless of crypto) isn't beneficial to a social media outlets such as NWGT or any other resource.

We've mentioned multiple times that this technology and implementation of a tip system is completely optional and you are not required to participate or generate/receive tips.  I can tell clearly there's also something else driving your motivation behind the attacks and I really encourage you to do some further research before you get up and arms due to complete ignorance.

Again you're attempts to make out to be some untrustworthy person is comical, this is called open source technology meaning EVERYONE and anyone has the right to investigate the code used.  If you care to look its located here: http://github.com/cannacoin-project/cannacoin you don't have to believe me on this one the proof is evident.


Sure I do, you are fully aware that I'm an admin and have the ability to see all what's called "soft-deleted" content?  Moderators delete threads from public view but the content is still available for review for us admins.  If you really want I can dig through ignorance to find your comical theories about the insecurity of cryptocurrencies.


Medical marijuana patients legally exchanging medicine for legal cryptocurrencies my friend, please do your research.  While I've mentioned to you numerous times that these are both highly unregulated markets nothing is illegal (at the state level) about the activity on NWGT or the future implementations of Cannacoin and NWGT.



Your opinions on a tip service are simply that opinions, and you we're banned from NWGT for a reason.. I know it's hard for you to grasp that concept but it's not going to do you any good trying to reach out to members of NWGT through Bitcointalk, you're not getting unbanned from NWGT and you're likely asking for a ban here.


I'm sorry but we own and run the site, I know it's a hard for you to understand this but it's a reality.


I don't know how else to get you to understand, yes OPTIONAL as in not required for you to participate/no forcing anything down anyones throats lol.


See you next door, I got a ban with your name on it should you care to bring your ignorance. If you want to open a thread with some level headed discussion it's always welcome however something tells me you're not into the whole level headed thing.

All the threads relating to Cannacoin at NWGT have been taken down:

Care to explain why?

I'd like to see that list of 1,000 NWGT members who are ready to use Cannacoin.

Maybe it's five at best.

Dear Felatio Ramirez,

Cryptocurrency isn't a scam. No one can control the coin. It is an open source project that can be used to barter with each other at minimal trading fees and with the highest security of any current method. CCN is from Seattle and so is NGWT. From what I can tell by skimming the messages is that you're mad about a user promoting CCN on the NGWT forum.

There is too much information to read. Could you write out your problem with CCN in 1 sentence?

These threads we're properly removed late last night from NWGT(due to inability to monitor due to sleep) after the discussions led to an outright troll fest sparked in part by a lot of your downright lies, misinformation and attempts to also come here to rant.  I gave the community the option of opening those threads back up so the the community can view for themselves what happened during the deletion. If you'd like I'd be willing to publicly post them for your viewing pleasure(actually I shouldn't do it for you personally rather, for those who want to route around you're ignorance). I know you're desperate to get back to your "home" as you like to call it however you can't attempt to attack the people who let you in in the first place and expect residency.  If you have nothing against cannacoin, and nothing against NWGT you're motives of personal attacks shine through even more.  Please remove yourself from this thread as you're doing yourself no justice fighting people who are attempting to implement cryptocurrencies to the world, this is a crypto forum.

Show me where you gave "the community" the option of opening those threads.  It just looks like you had one conversation with ion_magic about re-opening the threads, where she requested it, because she put so much effort and time into writing her response.  She's one of the few who is willing to accept Cannacoin.  Kind of a dumb move to silence her!

ETA:  NWGT threads have been restored.  Here's the poll thread:
http://www.nwgt.org/showthread.php?21044-Tipping-at-NWGT

Geez peez, you even managed to piss off an 83-year-old woman who might even support your project.

This will be the first of many posts...since I may need to explain my thoughts and defend the right to my families privacy to the Cannacoin boys.

First off...Im not going to go into a long introduction of who I am and where I stand in the cannabis industry.
If you are interested with more indepth information, you can google my user name and determine if I am who I claim to be..

I have been in the industry (cannabis) most my adult life...thats over 35 years of growing.
I am ashamed to see this new generation of greedy money grabbers that fooled a community of passionate and giving people into believing they were of the same kind.
I have been invloved with NWGT for about 3 years until yesterday, when my personal and family security was violated by the Admin Peezer of that site...and I believe his handle here is Cannacoin.

The links to NWGT have already been posted and with the threads that were locked re-opened, I urge you all to see what type of people Mr. Ramiriz and I are taliking about here.

You will see the Admin- Peezer, clearly posted pictures of my minor daugher...which I mistaken had in my link.
The link was origially a GBS tumbler link highlighting my genetics..but somehow got switched to her profile.

The admin to NWGT is a security risk and health risk to anyone that he has access of information to.

Jameson and the folks at NWGT clearly know I was hit by burglers and thieves last year, lead there from their own NWGT site.
The BBQ that was mentioned in some NWGT posts that never happened this year, was mainly because of the brothers lack of attention to security.
Bornon the host was ripped off during this event last year as many of the patients that attended this NWGT sponsered event.
Missing pipes, bongs, and jars of medicine were reported to have been stolen...

The way these brothers operate, I wouldnt put it past them to hire a team of thugs to slip in and take peoples wares...after all..it was an NWGT event,,,I come to this conclusion, because after the theirvery had happened, the sponsers showed no interest to compensate the losses or even investigate.
They had the attitude it wasnt their responsibity.

This is just one of the things that went terribly wrong at NWGT events..there was always things missing.
Ive been involved with Bornons events on his property hosting BBQ with 40+ people and not once had this happened...Until NWGT showed up.


Now lets get back to creators of this coin...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISDBJSjwQCM


Im not sure how to embed here...but take a look at the creators of your coin.

Their character in this video is demonstrating very clear they do not have the maturity level to run such an enterprise...let alone a cannabis forum.


I will be back to post more of my mind...like Mr. Ramiriz said Peezor...you can not shut me up here...and the truth is waiting to come out.

Quote from Peezor(Cannacoin)


Again, we can circlejerk all night.. the guy is threatening the safety of the entire community by trying to involve his daughter here. Especially asking for personal favors by having his her verified as a patient when she's neither a patient or of age... I know I don't want any knocks on my door for hosting 17 year old underage children and allowing them to participate here. I asked if she was or wasn't lems daughter and lem posted immediately after confirming my suspicion, how was I to know never to speak of her name when she came posting under her name on NWGT? The decision to post a blurred shot of lems instagram is proof that this guy downright lied to launch an attack against me for "revealing her name".



So you find it ok to post a picture of my daughter you found in a link that went off your site on your forum?

Who the safety risk Peezor...me or YOU?

Youre sinking youre self the more you talk...and the world is seeing this...


This is the NEGATIVE energy you bring with the creation of this coin...its all related and shows in your actions.
You sir are deluted and need to get in touch with the real world...because in the REAL world...people do post anyones minor pictures on the net.


Let me ask you something...how would you like me to post some pics of you and your loved ones on open forums??


I wont stoop to that level.....yet.



~Lem

Their isn't really such a thing as a cryptocoin creator. Someone does create it but there is no owner that can control what happens. People can program changes to how this coin works but what happens to this coin is decided by the majority of mining power. You shouldn't claim this is any one persons or groups coin. The fact that these people started the coin gives them no benefit over any one else with it. These people that you are angry with could go purchase any coin, or NASDAQ stock, that they want and then try to promote it. That is all that these people are to the coin. They are people that probably own some coins.


I find it disappointing that you are making it look like a large group of people (the NWGT), who I assume support the decriminalization of marijuana, do not support cryptocurrency as a means to decriminalization.

There are many coins that support the decriminalization of hemp/marijuana. THC HempCoin, POT PotCoin, CANN CannabisCoin and CCN CannaCoin.

I hope that the NWGT can start supporting all of these cryptocurrencies or at least THC, POT, and CANN.


Cryptocurrency technology is the future. The technology behind these coins is going to change the world more than the Internet already has. It is a lot more than just a way to exchange money.

Quote-Peezor(aka Cannacoin)



If I do not respond to comments and inform people that discussion needs to stay on track I'm accused of not answer people or hiding when in fact I'm clearly not. This thread is closed because simply the discussion cannot stay relevant and people cannot move beyond lems daughter.



DUDE...You posted her pic on YOUR forum...she is a minor...and now you close the thread that everyone displaying their feelings over?

Youre the type of dude that would get raped in prison...even they dont cross the line of dragging kids into these kinds of things.

I hope youre proud of what you did...posting my daughters pic on your site, that was also linked to this site.
If I get robbed or my family gets hurt because of this...YOU are to blame!!

Felatio Ramirez,

I didn't realize a lot of that stuff as I have no idea what NWGT is. There are many cryptos that you and your friends can support personally without getting NGWT involved. Crypto technology creates massive networks of computing power. These networks are 1000 times larger, and soon to be 1,000,000 times larger, than any University/Company super computer. Many cryptos are trying to capture this power to solve real life problems. With these new cryptos, as part of how "coins" get created, computers will be forced to solve complex medical/science problems. These type of coins are the next step with crypto and are being created as we speak. They will lead to medical miracles, full understanding of weather/global warming and just information on everything in the world. I have no idea what everyone is going to solve with this previously unimaginable computing power at their finger tips.

Hey FB, I sent you that response personally but to answer your point, it's really about being told that we WILL USE IT, and the boys who are forcing it.

You would understand the merits better than I and I respect that however, we do not feel that it is safe for our community and we just don't want it.

Thank you for your knowledge.

. ;D

Felatio Ramirez,

Fartbags is 100% correct in that no one owns or controls a cypto coin, there are only those who are involved and support the idea. Regardless of your baseless claims of fraud or theft they still do not have any weight when it comes to control over crypto currencies and Cannacoin is no different.  No one here is at an advantage and no one here will agree that Cannacoin or a tipping platform has no place in a cannabis forum (run and owned by the team at Cannacoin). We've already agreed that you have 0 problems with our homesite NWGT and 0 problems with Cannacoin then why are you still spouting baseless claims against people? You've still provided no facts in any of your claims and your current "concerns" about individuals will bring you no result when it comes to a decentralized technology and it's implementation.

I've already told you this but this is not James, you are speaking with Josh... you don't know me or any of my family friends.. Hell we've never even had a single conversation other then these rants and round about threats which you are famous for.  Please do us all a favor here and make your ban/exit gracefully.  

I don't have time to refute all of your points because simply you've made no truths except to try and "smear" and at this point in time I will basically be rebutting with "not true" on each point while you will refute "true" never to provide any real evidence or find anyone to back up your claims. What's really going on at Cannacoin, is pure decentralized systematic freedom via cryptocurrency.  I'm sorry you can't understand this complex technology and seem to have a you on a personal vendetta against those attempting to do change the landscape of cannabis for the better.

Scott or whatever you want to be called... We know you can do good in this community as others have come to your defense saying you've helped them in the past, please return to that mentality and start being the change YOU want to see int he world instead of resorting to your usual tactics of attacks and threats. You're banning should help you to understand that while you've played a part of the NWGT community in the past, it's probably best that you take you're relationships offline.

Josh

What makes this one different from any of the other marijuana related coins. If you guys don't mind me asking.

A few key points to note about our differences are mainly in the protocol specifications itself.

- The total supply of coins compared to most other cannabis related cryptos is significantly lower meaning this is in fact much more deflationary in nature as the supply of Cannacoins compared to the demand is significantly reduced. This means more intrinsic value as stability as their is not as large of an influx of new daily coins mined. (Total coins 13,140,000)

- Our block rewards also contribute to this deflationary nature at 12.5 CCN per 1 Minute block.

- The network introduces a annual halving rates which is a guaranteed expectations for miners each year and will hopefully result in a a predicable and expected result.

Realistically these just being to scratch the surface and amongst these few key points are a host of other great benefits of a currency such as Cannacoin. We also have a bunch of amazing projects in the works (Cannapay, NWGT Forum Tips etc) and an amazing team (Patrick, Phil, James, Josh, Alex, Greg etc..) that will help bring ease of adoption for merchants and vendors.

These super computing cryptos are open to the world, not just the lucky 5 scientist who got hired by Harvard. Groups of people who only want to work 5 hours a week can team up all together to solve all kinds of problems. We might start seeing breakthoughs with these cryptos in less than a year. The world is about to start developing really fast. It is the nature of computers. They grow exponentially.

These are the round about threats coming from you that I'm talking about and yes, as owners of NWGT we reserve the right to ban anyone.. even the impervious Scott. In your case it does happen to be permanently and I'm sorry you can't seem to understand.


By the way, didn't you JUST post that you would be able to exercise control and "get over it".

hmm interesting. fast response too.

Don't let this bad experience with these people give you a bad image of cryptocoins. It is more than "coins". It is a technology that allows super computing power for everyone on the planet. Amazing things are coming soon. CannaCoin is just one tiny little bit of all of crypto.

No problem mrcashking, if you care to listen you can get an idea behind this currency and our mission by listening to the Cannacoin podcast we released a little while ago. https://soundcloud.com/cannacoin/cannacoin-podcast-episode-001 (It's a bit old but I think it covers the basics of our coin introduction).  I will be working to produce more content like this so stayed tuned :-)

While I have the chance I'm going to respectfully ask anyone else reading this that the discussion in this topic stick to the original post of Cannacoin announcements, discussion and development. You're personal issues do not belong and in no way contribute to the discussion at hand.

Thanks!

That isn't much difference.

I have read some stuff about a possible algorithm change to x11 or ending POW and going pure POS. I think this would be a huge move and would give CannaCoin a huge difference between all other coins in this niche.

Without those change, I really don't see how this coin can survive. I do not see how adding a tipping bot to the NWGT forum, who's users apparently voted down the idea of using any cryptocoin, would help out at all.

Yes sorry, algorithm changes are also on the list of things we're looking into modifying soon. In fact we have a team convention/meeting planned for early september in WA state where we will get together to discuss some of our future plans and changes(including algo), in this case I was simply providing him quick list of differences to help open the discussion and I apologize if I missed some key points :D

One of the biggest advantageous is the fact that this coin was created and spawned from Washington state, a leader along with CO in the movement of cannabis legalization.  We also run and own NWGT (which clearly you're hearing about here), this is a online community and while not every user will care to use crypto we are working to incorporate this technology into our community to help empower our people and help fight for our rights as well as encourage others to participate in our overall goal of Cannabis legalization(without stripping MMJ rights). This potential for liberation and freedom is huge as our community is quite large and if educated can learn to accept and use this technology for good.

Regarding the decision to implement a tip system on NWGT.. This is not a decision that was formed by it's users but rather a direction the owners of the website are choosing to take and they have every right to do so.  The poll created was created by a member of the community to simply gauge the interest of a tip service to his other community. While there are responses for "Will not use" These type of polls do not directly reflect the admins decisions adding crypto tipping to the equation and most definitely do not accurately represent the entire majority of our community as we host a community of over 16,00 registered users while only ~65 total users have voted. (At the time of writing this post there are over 700 active members online and only 65 actively participated in the thread over 24+ hours period). Even if we use the statistics from the poll the current results would represent almost 3,000 users of the entire 16,00 that would participate in a tipping platform... this is huge (although a bit inaccurate due to the inability accurately judge the total number of willing participants).

Having lots of active users from WA is a big thing for this coin. WA is a huge technology hub and a leader in the beginnings of decriminalizing cannabis.

This is a great point, we've had the privilege of not only some of the most beautiful locations in the world(irrrelevant just wanted to add that in :P) but, we are also fortunate enough to have some of the worlds biggest thinkers and inspirational entrepreneurs spawn from our state (Amazon, Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks and the list continues) not to mention our laws concerning recreational and medical cannabis are at the forefront of legalization.  Some of these entities I've mentioned have been staples in the development and shaping of our economies and thinking here in WA, it's also a major reason I've been lucky to acquire the skills and knowledge I have to enter this space (crypto/cannabis) to make changes for the better.

Josh...if this is true...why is my access to your forum still blocked?
Why can I not delete my content?

Let me be clear when I say this....YOU SIR ARE A STRAIGHT UP LIAR!!
I posted the explanation that I had her link in my signature by mistake...you not only exploited her picture on your site, but you banned me so I could not defend myself or her from what you were doing with your photo shopping and adding different comments to the pictures. You continued to post and change her picture for more than 2 hours on your site keeping the thread bumped and in the attention of everyone that hit the "recent topic" button.

I have plenty of first hand witness reporting back to me what you were doing...and taking screen shots in the process.
You wont lie yourself out of this one...You abused your rights as a moderator,admin, and a person I once called friend.

You treat one of this communities senior members with tactics I would never ever pull on even my worst enemy...You  willingly with hurtful intentions posted pictures of my minor child on the interenet, your forum, here, and god knows where else to strike out at me....
All because I was uncomfortable about your bringing your crypto coin into our cannabis community., that bothered you and drove your hate for you to act the way you did.

Im not sure how you can live in your skin, doing what you are doing or did and continue to feel as if it was not a big or important violation of ones personal privacy and safety.
Your tone dismisses your act as if you just spilled some milk on the counter and on my shirt.

How can I except your apology when in the same paragraph you are saying sorry, you throw blame on me for this?
Mentally instabilty is the first thing that comes to mind...but ive met you and you seem like a sharp kid..I just didnt know you were this deceptive and brazen.



Like I said, Im not done with you Peezor..not here anyway...as long as Demo and I are banned from NWGT, we will use this site to expose your lies....and Im sure the comunity here will appreciate it.

I want to say one..or maybe more things about my friend Demo, Scott or Mr. Ramiriz.

This man is a decorated war veteran. he isa special forces soldier that did his time for our country.
These boys Peezor and Jameson both know this.
Demo, Scott deserves way more respect than what this boys could ever show him...he is 100 times the man they are...and not only does his presense tell you this, but so do hundreds of patients and friends this man has all over the Northwest.
He is a legend in this community we used to call our karma community..Him along with people like Fishassassin, Bornon, Fab Man, Mr Bunnz, Kaya and many more Im sure I missed, are the real heros and givers in our compassion community.

I have been an active member of NWGT, the forum that Peezor(Admin) and his brother Jameson (Owner) run and is in question in this thread.
Over the last 3 years, Our community has been witnessed to many of our close members dieing and passing away....before I go further, for those that dont understand...we belong to a medical cannabis community...driven by people of all types...including the very sick, to terminally ill, to kids just trying to slip under the radar so they can smoke pot.


Sadly in this community we lose friends and close member of our forum. People we meet and associate daily..either on the forum or tinychat or other means.,..we develope close relationships..
And in doing so, we all felt the loss of a close friend that died of cancer or a family member. This is what drives most of us in this community....Except from the boys at the top.

I have seen Demo give away meds that would equal thousands of dollars for free...to the patients that were in need but couldnt buy from people like the boys that run the forum because they were short on cash.
The same time last week, I saw a thread from a patient pleading for meds so he could bear his pain from his spasming muscles, I see an add posted by Jameson looking for an ounce of meds to buy.., and Im sure it wasnt to volunteer any of it to this needy pateint.
Not once have I seen one of these boys post in any of the threads of patients asking for help...not once in 3 years.
But I can count countless times Demo, or any of the others I posted above offered their help and even put auctions together to help needy patients.

The boys that run this cannacoin operation are takers...simple as that. They do not help patients...all I have seen is self interest.

One more note...
I gave them free genetics hoping atleast some of the medicine would end up in charitable hands...nope...they have vids of the oil they made out of it..and post at the Thumb selling this oil.

Its a sad day when people like that have the reign to go anywhere on the net and belittle a finely decorated veteran like Scott....sad day indeed!

Hey Peezor, Jameson...the Cannacoin crew.
Have you  ever considered that cannabis is looked at by the feds as an illegal drug still?

Do you know what the RICO Act is?





Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)



Passed in 1970, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a federal law designed to combat organized crime in the United States. It allows prosecution and civil penalties for racketeering activity performed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise. Such activity may include illegal gambling, bribery, kidnapping, murder, money laundering, counterfeiting, embezzlement, drug trafficking, slavery, and a host of other unsavory business practices.

To convict a defendant under RICO, the government must prove that the defendant engaged in two or more instances of racketeering activity and that the defendant directly invested in, maintained an interest in, or participated in a criminal enterprise affecting interstate or foreign commerce. The law has been used to prosecute members of the mafia, the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, and Operation Rescue, an anti-abortion group, among many others.

 (7) racketeering investigator means any attorney or investigator so designated by the Attorney General and charged with the duty of enforcing or carrying into effect this chapter;

 (8) racketeering investigation means any inquiry conducted by any racketeering investigator for the purpose of ascertaining whether any person has been involved in any violation of this chapter or of any final order, judgment, or decree of any court of the United States, duly entered in any case or proceeding arising under this chapter;

Any department or agency so designated may use in investigations authorized by this chapter either the investigative provisions of this chapter or the investigative power of such department or agency otherwise conferred by law.

 

§ 1962. Prohibited activities

 (a) It shall be unlawful for any person who has received any income derived, directly or indirectly, from a pattern of racketeering activity or through collection of an unlawful debt in which such person has participated as a principal within the meaning of section 2, title 18, United States Code, to use or invest, directly or indirectly, any part of such income, or the proceeds of such income, in acquisition of any interest in, or the establishment or operation of, any enterprise which is engaged in, or the activities of which affect, interstate or foreign commerce. A purchase of securities on the open market for purposes of investment, and without the intention of controlling or participating in the control of the issuer, or of assisting another to do so, shall not be unlawful under this subsection if the securities of the issuer held by the purchaser, the members of his immediate family, and his or their accomplices in any pattern or racketeering activity or the collection of an unlawful debt after such purchase do not amount in the aggregate to one percent of the outstanding securities of any one class, and do not confer, either in law or in fact, the power to elect one or more directors of the issuer.

 (b) It shall be unlawful for any person through a pattern of racketeering activity or through collection of an unlawful debt to acquire or maintain, directly or indirectly, any interest in or control of any enterprise which is engaged in, or the activities of which affect, interstate or foreign commerce.

 (c) It shall be unlawful for any person employed by or associated with any enterprise engaged in, or the activities of which affect, interstate or foreign commerce, to conduct or participate, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of such enterprises affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity or collection of unlawful debt.

 (d) It shall be unlawful for any person to conspire to violate any of the provisions of subsection (a), (b), or (c) of this section.

 

§ 1963. Criminal penalties

(a) Whoever violates any provision of section 1962 of this chapter shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years (or for life if the violation is based on a racketeering activity for which the maximum penalty includes life imprisonment), or both, and shall forfeit to the United States, irrespective of any provision of State law

 (1) any interest the person has acquired or maintained in violation of section 1962;

 (2) any

 (A) interest in;

 (B) security of;

 (C) claim against; or

 (D) property or contractual right of any kind affording a source of influence over;

any enterprise which the person has established, operated, controlled, conducted, or participated in the conduct of, in violation of section 1962; and

 (3) any property constituting, or derived from, any proceeds which the person obtained, directly or indirectly, from racketeering activity or unlawful debt collection in violation of section 1962.

The court, in imposing sentence on such person shall order, in addition to any other sentence imposed pursuant to this section, that the person forfeit to the United States all property described in this subsection. In lieu of a fine otherwise authorized by this section, a defendant who derives profits or other proceeds from an offense may be fined not more than twice the gross profits or other proceeds.

(b) Property subject to criminal forfeiture under this section includes

 (1) real property, including things growing on, affixed to, and found in land; and

 (2) tangible and intangible personal property, including rights, privileges, interests, claims, and securities.

(c) All right, title, and interest in property described in subsection (a) vests in the United States upon the commission of the act giving rise to forfeiture under this section. Any such property that is subsequently transferred to a person other than the defendant may be the subject of a special verdict of forfeiture and thereafter shall be ordered forfeited to the United States, unless the transferee establishes in a hearing pursuant to subsection (l) that he is a bona fide purchaser for value of such property who at the time of purchase was reasonably without cause to believe that the property was subject to forfeiture under this section.

(d)

 (1) Upon application of the United States, the court may enter a restraining order or injunction, require the execution of a satisfactory performance bond, or take any other action to preserve the availability of property described in subsection (a) for forfeiture under this section

 (A) upon the filing of an indictment or information charging a violation of section 1962 of this chapter and alleging that the property with respect to which the order is sought would, in the event of conviction, be subject to forfeiture under this section; or

 (B) prior to the filing of such an indictment or information, if, after notice to persons appearing to have an interest in the property and opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that

 (i) there is a substantial probability that the United States will prevail on the issue of forfeiture and that failure to enter the order will result in the property being destroyed, removed from the jurisdiction of the court, or otherwise made unavailable for forfeiture; and

 (ii) the need to preserve the availability of the property through the entry of the requested order outweighs the hardship on any party against whom the order is to be entered:

Provided, however, That an order entered pursuant to subparagraph (B) shall be effective for not more than ninety days, unless extended by the court for good cause shown or unless an indictment or information described in subparagraph (A) has been filed.

 (2) A temporary restraining order under this subsection may be entered upon application of the United States without notice or opportunity for a hearing when an information or indictment has not yet been filed with respect to the property, if the United States demonstrates that there is probable cause to believe that the property with respect to which the order is sought would, in the event of conviction, be subject to forfeiture under this section and that provision of notice will jeopardize the availability of the property for forfeiture. Such a temporary order shall expire not more than fourteen days after the date on which it is entered, unless extended for good cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered consents to an extension for a longer period. A hearing requested concerning an order entered under this paragraph shall be held at the earliest possible time, and prior to the expiration of the temporary order.

 (3) The court may receive and consider, at a hearing held pursuant to this subsection, evidence and information that would be inadmissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence.

 (e) Upon conviction of a person under this section, the court shall enter a judgment of forfeiture of the property to the United States and shall also authorize the Attorney General to seize all property ordered forfeited upon such terms and conditions as the court shall deem proper. Following the entry of an order declaring the property forfeited, the court may, upon application of the United States, enter such appropriate restraining orders or injunctions, require the execution of satisfactory performance bonds, appoint receivers, conservators, appraisers, accountants, or trustees, or take any other action to protect the interest of the United States in the property ordered forfeited. Any income accruing to, or derived from, an enterprise or an interest in an enterprise which has been ordered forfeited under this section may be used to offset ordinary and necessary expenses to the enterprise which are required by law, or which are necessary to protect the interests of the United States or third parties.

 (f) Following the seizure of property ordered forfeited under this section, the Attorney General shall direct the disposition of the property by sale or any other commercially feasible means, making due provision for the rights of any innocent persons. Any property right or interest not exercisable by, or transferable for value to, the United States shall expire and shall not revert to the defendant, nor shall the defendant or any person acting in concert with or on behalf of the defendant be eligible to purchase forfeited property at any sale held by the United States. Upon application of a person, other than the defendant or a person acting in concert with or on behalf of the defendant, the court may restrain or stay the sale or disposition of the property pending the conclusion of any appeal of the criminal case giving rise to the forfeiture, if the applicant demonstrates that proceeding with the sale or disposition of the property will result in irreparable injury, harm or loss to him. Notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302 (b), the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of property forfeited under this section and any moneys forfeited shall be used to pay all proper expenses for the forfeiture and the sale, including expenses of seizure, maintenance and custody of the property pending its disposition, advertising and court costs. The Attorney General shall deposit in the Treasury any amounts of such proceeds or moneys remaining after the payment of such expenses.

 (g) With respect to property ordered forfeited under this section, the Attorney General is authorized to

 (1) grant petitions for mitigation or remission of forfeiture, restore forfeited property to victims of a violation of this chapter, or take any other action to protect the rights of innocent persons which is in the interest of justice and which is not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter;

 (2) compromise claims arising under this section;

 (3) award compensation to persons providing information resulting in a forfeiture under this section;

 (4) direct the disposition by the United States of all property ordered forfeited under this section by public sale or any other commercially feasible means, making due provision for the rights of innocent persons; and

 (5) take appropriate measures necessary to safeguard and maintain property ordered forfeited under this section pending its disposition.

 (h) The Attorney General may promulgate regulations with respect to

 (1) making reasonable efforts to provide notice to persons who may have an interest in property ordered forfeited under this section;

 (2) granting petitions for remission or mitigation of forfeiture;

 (3) the restitution of property to victims of an offense petitioning for remission or mitigation of forfeiture under this chapter;

 (4) the disposition by the United States of forfeited property by public sale or other commercially feasible means;

 (5) the maintenance and safekeeping of any property forfeited under this section pending its disposition; and

 (6) the compromise of claims arising under this chapter.

Pending the promulgation of such regulations, all provisions of law relating to the disposition of property, or the proceeds from the sale thereof, or the remission or mitigation of forfeitures for violation of the customs laws, and the compromise of claims and the award of compensation to informers in respect of such forfeitures shall apply to forfeitures incurred, or alleged to have been incurred, under the provisions of this section, insofar as applicable and not inconsistent with the provisions hereof. Such duties as are imposed upon the Customs Service or any person with respect to the disposition of property under the customs law shall be performed under this chapter by the Attorney General.

 (i) Except as provided in subsection (l), no party claiming an interest in property subject to forfeiture under this section may

 (1) intervene in a trial or appeal of a criminal case involving the forfeiture of such property under this section; or

 (2) commence an action at law or equity against the United States concerning the validity of his alleged interest in the property subsequent to the filing of an indictment or information alleging that the property is subject to forfeiture under this section.

 (j) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction to enter orders as provided in this section without regard to the location of any property which may be subject to forfeiture under this section or which has been ordered forfeited under this section.

 (k) In order to facilitate the identification or location of property declared forfeited and to facilitate the disposition of petitions for remission or mitigation of forfeiture, after the entry of an order declaring property forfeited to the United States the court may, upon application of the United States, order that the testimony of any witness relating to the property forfeited be taken by deposition and that any designated book, paper, document, record, recording, or other material not privileged be produced at the same time and place, in the same manner as provided for the taking of depositions under Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of criminal procedure.

 (l)

 (1) Following the entry of an order of forfeiture under this section, the United States shall publish notice of the order and of its intent to dispose of the property in such manner as the Attorney General may direct. The Government may also, to the extent practicable, provide direct written notice to any person known to have alleged an interest in the property that is the subject of the order of forfeiture as a substitute for published notice as to those persons so notified.

 (2) Any person, other than the defendant, asserting a legal interest in property which has been ordered forfeited to the United States pursuant to this section may, within thirty days of the final publication of notice or his receipt of notice under paragraph (1), whichever is earlier, petition the court for a hearing to adjudicate the validity of his alleged interest in the property. The hearing shall be held before the court alone, without a jury.

 (3) The petition shall be signed by the petitioner under penalty of perjury and shall set forth the nature and extent of the petitioners right, title, or interest in the property, the time and circumstances of the petitioners acquisition of the right, title, or interest in the property, any additional facts supporting the petitioners claim, and the relief sought.

 (4) The hearing on the petition shall, to the extent practicable and consistent with the interests of justice, be held within thirty days of the filing of the petition. The court may consolidate the hearing on the petition with a hearing on any other petition filed by a person other than the defendant under this subsection.

 (5) At the hearing, the petitioner may testify and present evidence and witnesses on his own behalf, and cross-examine witnesses who appear at the hearing. The United States may present evidence and witnesses in rebuttal and in defense of its claim to the property and cross-examine witnesses who appear at the hearing. In addition to testimony and evidence presented at the hearing, the court shall consider the relevant portions of the record of the criminal case which resulted in the order of forfeiture.

 (6) If, after the hearing, the court determines that the petitioner has established by a preponderance of the evidence that

 (A) the petitioner has a legal right, title, or interest in the property, and such right, title, or interest renders the order of forfeiture invalid in whole or in part because the right, title, or interest was vested in the petitioner rather than the defendant or was superior to any right, title, or interest of the defendant at the time of the commission of the acts which gave rise to the forfeiture of the property under this section; or

 (B) the petitioner is a bona fide purchaser for value of the right, title, or interest in the property and was at the time of purchase reasonably without cause to believe that the property was subject to forfeiture under this section;

the court shall amend the order of forfeiture in accordance with its determination.

 (7) Following the courts disposition of all petitions filed under this subsection, or if no such petitions are filed following the expiration of the period provided in paragraph (2) for the filing of such petitions, the United States shall have clear title to property that is the subject of the order of forfeiture and may warrant good title to any subsequent purchaser or transferee.

 (m) If any of the property described in subsection (a), as a result of any act or omission of the defendant

 (1) cannot be located upon the exercise of due diligence;

 (2) has been transferred or sold to, or deposited with, a third party;

 (3) has been placed beyond the jurisdiction of the court;

 (4) has been substantially diminished in value; or

 (5) has been commingled with other property which cannot be divided without difficulty;

the court shall order the forfeiture of any other property of the defendant up to the value of any property described in paragraphs (1) through (5).

 

§ 1964. Civil remedies

 (a) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction to prevent and restrain violations of section 1962 of this chapter by issuing appropriate orders, including, but not limited to: ordering any person to divest himself of any interest, direct or indirect, in any enterprise; imposing reasonable restrictions on the future activities or investments of any person, including, but not limited to, prohibiting any person from engaging in the same type of endeavor as the enterprise engaged in, the activities of which affect interstate or foreign commerce; or ordering dissolution or reorganization of any enterprise, making due provision for the rights of innocent persons.

(b) The Attorney General may institute proceedings under this section. Pending final determination thereof, the court may at any time enter such restraining orders or prohibitions, or take such other actions, including the acceptance of satisfactory performance bonds, as it shall deem proper.

(c) Any person injured in his business or property by reason of a violation of section 1962 of this chapter may sue therefor in any appropriate United States district court and shall recover threefold the damages he sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorneys fee, except that no person may rely upon any conduct that would have been actionable as fraud in the purchase or sale of securities to establish a violation of section 1962. The exception contained in the preceding sentence does not apply to an action against any person that is criminally convicted in connection with the fraud, in which case the statute of limitations shall start to run on the date on which the conviction becomes final.

(d) A final judgment or decree rendered in favor of the United States in any criminal proceeding brought by the United States under this chapter shall estop the defendant from denying the essential allegations of the criminal offense in any subsequent civil proceeding brought by the United States.

 

§ 1965. Venue and process

 (a) Any civil action or proceeding under this chapter against any person may be instituted in the district court of the United States for any district in which such person resides, is found, has an agent, or transacts his affairs.

(b) In any action under section 1964 of this chapter in any district court of the United States in which it is shown that the ends of justice require that other parties residing in any other district be brought before the court, the court may cause such parties to be summoned, and process for that purpose may be served in any judicial district of the United States by the marshal thereof.

(c) In any civil or criminal action or proceeding instituted by the United States under this chapter in the district court of the United States for any judicial district, subpenas issued by such court to compel the attendance of witnesses may be served in any other judicial district, except that in any civil action or proceeding no such subpena shall be issued for service upon any individual who resides in another district at a place more than one hundred miles from the place at which such court is held without approval given by a judge of such court upon a showing of good cause.

(d) All other process in any action or proceeding under this chapter may be served on any person in any judicial district in which such person resides, is found, has an agent, or transacts his affairs.

 

§ 1966. Expedition of actions

In any civil action instituted under this chapter by the United States in any district court of the United States, the Attorney General may file with the clerk of such court a certificate stating that in his opinion the case is of general public importance. A copy of that certificate shall be furnished immediately by such clerk to the chief judge or in his absence to the presiding district judge of the district in which such action is pending. Upon receipt of such copy, such judge shall designate immediately a judge of that district to hear and determine action.

 

§ 1967. Evidence

In any proceeding ancillary to or in any civil action instituted by the United States under this chapter the proceedings may be open or closed to the public at the discretion of the court after consideration of the rights of affected persons.

 

§ 1968. Civil investigative demand

(a) Whenever the Attorney General has reason to believe that any person or enterprise may be in possession, custody, or control of any documentary materials relevant to a racketeering investigation, he may, prior to the institution of a civil or criminal proceeding thereon, issue in writing, and cause to be served upon such person, a civil investigative demand requiring such person to produce such material for examination.

(b) Each such demand shall

(1) state the nature of the conduct constituting the alleged racketeering violation which is under investigation and the provision of law applicable thereto;

(2) describe the class or classes of documentary material produced thereunder with such definiteness and certainty as to permit such material to be fairly identified;

 (3) state that the demand is returnable forthwith or prescribe a return date which will provide a reasonable period of time within which the material so demanded may be assembled and made available for inspection and copying or reproduction; and

 (4) identify the custodian to whom such material shall be made available.

(c) No such demand shall

 (1) contain any requirement which would be held to be unreasonable if contained in a subpena duces tecum issued by a court of the United States in aid of a grand jury investigation of such alleged racketeering violation; or

 (2) require the production of any documentary evidence which would be privileged from disclosure if demanded by a subpena duces tecum issued by a court of the United States in aid of a grand jury investigation of such alleged racketeering violation.

(d) Service of any such demand or any petition filed under this section may be made upon a person by

(2) delivering a duly executed copy thereof to the principal office or place of business of the person to be served; or

(3) depositing such copy in the United States mail, by registered or certified mail duly addressed to such person at its principal office or place of business.

(e) A verified return by the individual serving any such demand or petition setting forth the manner of such service shall be prima facie proof of such service. In the case of service by registered or certified mail, such return shall be accompanied by the return post office receipt of delivery of such demand.

(f)

 (1) The Attorney General shall designate a racketeering investigator to serve as racketeer document custodian, and such additional rack­eteering investigators as he shall determine from time to time to be necessary to serve as deputies to such officer.

 (2) Any person upon whom any demand issued under this section has been duly served shall make such material available for inspection and copying or reproduction to the custodian designated therein at the principal place of business of such person, or at such other place as such custodian and such person thereafter may agree and prescribe in writing or as the court may direct, pursuant to this section on the return date specified in such demand, or on such later date as such custodian may prescribe in writing. Such person may upon written agreement between such person and the custodian substitute for copies of all or any part of such material originals thereof.

 (3) The custodian to whom any documentary material is so delivered shall take physical possession thereof, and shall be responsible for the use made thereof and for the return thereof pursuant to this chapter. The custodian may cause the preparation of such copies of such documentary material as may be required for official use under regulations which shall be promulgated by the Attorney General. While in the possession of the custodian, no material so produced shall be available for examination, without the consent of the person who produced such material, by any individual other than the Attorney General. Under such reasonable terms and conditions as the Attorney General shall prescribe, documentary material while in the possession of the custodian shall be available for examination by the person who produced such material or any duly authorized representatives of such person.

 (4) Whenever any attorney has been designated to appear on behalf of the United States before any court or grand jury in any case or proceeding involving any alleged violation of this chapter, the custodian may deliver to such attorney such documentary material in the possession of the custodian as such attorney determines to be required for use in the presentation of such case or proceeding on behalf of the United States. Upon the conclusion of any such case or proceeding, such attorney shall return to the custodian any documentary material so withdrawn which has not passed into the control of such court or grand jury through the introduction thereof into the record of such case or proceeding.

 (5) Upon the completion of

 (i) the racketeering investigation for which any documentary material was produced under this chapter, and

 (ii) any case or proceeding arising from such investigation, the custodian shall return to the person who produced such material all such material other than copies thereof made by the Attorney General pursuant to this subsection which has not passed into the control of any court or grand jury through the introduction thereof into the record of such case or proceeding.

 (6) When any documentary material has been produced by any person under this section for use in any racketeering investigation, and no such case or proceeding arising therefrom has been instituted within a reasonable time after completion of the examination and analysis of all evidence assembled in the course of such investigation, such person shall be entitled, upon written demand made upon the Attorney General, to the return of all documentary material other than copies thereof made pursuant to this subsection so produced by such person.

 (7) In the event of the death, disability, or separation from service of the custodian of any documentary material produced under any demand issued under this section or the official relief of such custodian from responsibility for the custody and control of such material, the Attorney General shall promptly

 (i) designate another racketeering investigator to serve as custodian thereof, and

 (ii) transmit notice in writing to the person who produced such material as to the identity and address of the successor so designated.

Any successor so designated shall have with regard to such materials all duties and responsibilities imposed by this section upon his predecessor in office with regard thereto, except that he shall not be held responsible for any default or dereliction which occurred before his designation as custodian.

(g) Whenever any person fails to comply with any civil investigative demand duly served upon him under this section or whenever satisfactory copying or reproduction of any such material cannot be done and such person refuses to surrender such material, the Attorney General may file, in the district court of the United States for any judicial district in which such person resides, is found, or transacts business, and serve upon such person a petition for an order of such court for the enforcement of this section, except that if such person transacts business in more than one such district such petition shall be filed in the district in which such person maintains his principal place of business, or in such other district in which such person transacts business as may be agreed upon by the parties to such petition.

(h) Within twenty days after the service of any such demand upon any person, or at any time before the return date specified in the demand, whichever period is shorter, such person may file, in the district court of the United States for the judicial district within which such person resides, is found, or transacts business, and serve upon such custodian a petition for an order of such court modifying or setting aside such demand. The time allowed for compliance with the demand in whole or in part as deemed proper and ordered by the court shall not run during the pendency of such petition in the court. Such petition shall specify each ground upon which the petitioner relies in seeking such relief, and may be based upon any failure of such demand to comply with the provisions of this section or upon any constitutional or other legal right or privilege of such person.

(i) At any time during which any custodian is in custody or control of any documentary material delivered by any person in compliance with any such demand, such person may file, in the district court of the United States for the judicial district within which the office of such custodian is situated, and serve upon such custodian a petition for an order of such court requiring the performance by such custodian of any duty imposed upon him by this section.

(j) Whenever any petition is filed in any district court of the United States under this section, such court shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine the matter so presented, and to enter such order or orders as may be required to carry into effect the provisions of this section.

This is a serious matter that you should have talked to an attorney ..and if you have, please forward the info and attorneys name here so we may double check and verify for own safety.

HOW FAR WILL LAW ENFORCEMENT GO?

inShare

Today we are going to talk about the lengths that law enforcement (LE) will go to try and catch you slipping.

The thread that inspired this post was the following SR thread.

http://silkroad5v7dywlc.onion/index.php?topic=8788.0

The first question is, can LE ship drugs to buyers to try and set them up for drug charges? Let us just say, that they have done it to a Silk Road user before who went by the name of Flush aka Chronicpain aka Curtis Green

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/11/07/vendor-administrator-plead-guilty-in-silk-road-case/3469751/
Quote

    In April 2012, a DEA undercover agent in Maryland posing as a drug smuggler began communicating with “Dread Pirate Roberts” on Silk Road about selling a large amount of illegal drugs. “Dread Pirate Roberts” instructed [Curtis] Green to help the smuggler find a drug dealer who could buy a large amount of drugs, court papers say. Green found a buyer and agreed to act as the middleman for a $27,000 sale of a kilogram of cocaine. Green gave the DEA agent his address.

    An undercover U.S. Postal Service inspector delivered the cocaine to Green’s house in Utah on Jan. 17.

So as you can see, whether you view it as entrapment or not, once they have evidence against you, they will eventually figure out a way to get something on you and bust you for it like they did to Curtis Green.

The Secret Service posed as a vendor for fake IDs online for 5 years and actually shipped fake IDs that they made to buyers on an online Russian forum.

http://www.tested.com/tech/456882-how-secret-service-sold-fake-ids-catch-identity-crooks/
Quote

    The US Government’s “Operation Open Market” resulted in indictments against 55 defendants. According to Wired, Special Agent Mike Adams shipped out more than 125 fake IDs over about five years of activity while going by the username Celtic. Amazingly, the entire scheme started when the government arrested the real Celtic, a Nevada man who got caught shopping at a Whole Foods where he’d previously used a fake credit card.

    Law enforcement discovered counterfeiting equipment among his possessions and learned about his online activities. Adams assumed his online identity and even improved Celtic’s cred, shipping near-flawless IDs and becoming a trusted seller on Carder.ru.

As you can see in this article, the Secret Service again sold illegal items to people online in order to bust them. Several of the buyers used their real addresses and sent real photos of themselves to this officer to have their IDs made, resulting in being arrested by the feds.

And in this particular case, the feds charged all the defendants under something called the RICO act.
Quote

    “The main indictment is noteworthy because, in addition to the usual mix of credit card fraud and false identification charges, the 39 defendants have been charged under the mob-busting RICO act – a first for a cybercrime prosecution.

    Enacted in 1970 to help the FBI crack down on the mafia, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act lets the feds hold every member of a criminal organization individually responsible for the actions of the group as a whole. The losses collectively inflicted by the Carder.su members are easily enough to give every RICO defendant 20 years in prison.”

When you commit crimes online, especially in an online community, the feds may be able to hold you accountable for the actions of other users on that same community. So make sure when you do your freedom fighting, or whatever you choose to do, that you take this into considering. Always weigh out the worst case scenario, should you get busted, because the LE will try and set you up.

One last example of how LE will try and set you up, but not relating to online communities is when they put together a fake sweepstakes in Los Angeles.

http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/La-Mirada-Inspired-by-the-Simpsons-to-Catch-Criminals-78093912.html
Quote

    Sheriff’s deputies in La Mirada attempted a rope-a-dope on some alleged criminals by offering them a fake sweepstakes prize. Out of the 960 letters sent to these “people of interest” only eight showed up at the La Mirada Holiday Inn to collect their prize, according to the Whittier Daily News.

    Posing as the “Pelican Marketing Group,” deputies sent letters last week to people throughout the county wanted in connection with crimes ranging from misdemeanor warrants to murder.

    According to the report, the suspects were advised to bring their letter and identification to the Holiday Inn, and told that they were guaranteed a prize worth at least $100, and would be one of 200 people with a chance to win a 2010 BMW 238i sedan.

    They were all smiles when they showed up to collect their prizes, Deputy Janet Ramirez told the newspaper. “Once they tell them they’re under arrest, the smile fades quickly,” she said.

So the reason I made this post, was for those of you who think that LE will not go to certain lengths to try and set you up for charges. They will do it if they want you bad enough, and if you fall for it, they might get you on some tough charges. Curtis Green is facing up to 40 years for the sting operation by the DEA on him and the users who purchased fake IDs on the Russian forum could face up to 20 years each since they can be charged under the RICO act. Always keep these things in mind when conducting activities online and always take the worst case scenario into account.

It only takes one mistake to get caught and the government has unlimited resources and super computers to try and catch you slipping. You may only have a few laptops, desktops, servers, but nothing compared to the what they have. Be careful everyone.

While the past few pages of this thread have been highly entertaining, as an idependent observer, it seems clear to me that the highjackers should chill out and maybe smoke some pot.  ::) Ironic really.

Don't let yourselves become victim to fear, uncertainty and doubt when it comes to cryptocurrency or marijuana. The "powers that be" are losing the ability to control the masses. It won't be long now. Get on the right side of history instead of clinging to structures that are beginning to crumble because you are afraid or intolerant or very simply, ignorant of the changes coming.

There is some ageism happening here. You older gentlemen attacking the younger ones is classic of that. I am a 44 year old female who has spent much of my professional career in industries dominated by men, young and old, many of whom are so set in their ways that they are incapable of recognizing new ideas when it's right in front of their faces. So I understand better than most the subconscious or even conscious prejudices that make having a positive social network a real challenge.

I have read all of the posts in question, FYI, and it seems to me that the young whippersnappers behind Cannacoin (who happen to be brighter than most in the crypto community I might add) saw crypto technology as an added layer of value to the NWGT community and just went with it, mistakenly assuming that everyone there would see the good in it. Unfortunately, they were faced with a surprise revolt because they failed to take into account the perceptions of an older demographic who have earned respect in their own right. It happens but an attempt should be made here to halt the slide into the dark world of threats and innuendo. That serves no good purpose whatsoever.

We always have a choice in how to percieve things. Step back, take a breath, make an attempt to understand the other side and resolve this craziness.  :-*

Schedule I controlled substances

Marijuana and its cannabinoids. Pure (–)-trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol is also listed in Schedule III for limited uses, under the trademark Marinol. Ballot measures in several states such as Colorado, Washington, Massachusetts and others have made allowances for recreational and medical use of marijuana and/or have decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana – such measures operate only on state laws, and have no effect on Federal law. Despite such ballot measures and multiple studies showing medicinal benefits, marijuana nevertheless remains on Schedule I, effective across all U.S. states and territories.[26][27]

Sorry I had to put my thoughts in several posts...spamming was not intentional.
It was just how my mind works and how I found and presented this information.
Those of you that have read through my posts understand the seriousness of a venture like Cannacoin tied to an already established medical community., ..a community that helps supply needy patients with cannabis, a "drug"  the Federal Law Enforcement considers illegal and  schedule 1.
If the Cannacoin boys make ONE mistake..it could cost many lives and patients waiting for precious medicine, not counting the possible potential of Law Enforcement destroying more lives through arrest and court actions.


Thanks for giving me the time and bandwidth to voice my concerns.




~Lem

The worls is bigger then the USA, also good cannacoin works outside of the USA  8)
Man get a life, or go studying for laywer.. We don't need you copy/paste all kind of US law articles.

Either quit this coin or shut up please.. :-X

Greetings..and thank you for your comment.

As a 44 year old female, Im sure you will apreciate the fact that these young "whippersnappers"as you put it, posted a picture of my minor 17 year old daughter on a public forum, endangering her safety.
I point this out, because doing this was an immature move and a lack of good judgment on their part. Are we to feel confident with these boys trying to tie their cannacoin project into a medical cannabis communty...mostly consisting of very sick people that can not afford the risk of Law Eforcment interrupting their lives?
They have shown poor judgement...proven by the fact of his public apology.

Your enthusiasm for your crypto-coin fellow community members is understood...but Im suprised that you would hold their character in a different light than what they have demonstrated.


~Lem

I have not broken any forum rules..I have the same right to this platform as you...
This is on topic because of the nature of the coin and where they are implimenting it..


~Lem

What I see is an apology and an unwillingness on your part to accept it. You are the one who keeps bringing your own daughter up as ammo in this silly war you refuse to end. That's more disgusting if you ask me. If you don't want her to be used as leverage, then stop using her as leverage for your own agenda.

If you are a parent, you will understand my feelings and anger about this...this act of exposing my daughter was less than 24 hours...and in the public apology he wrote..did you not read it?
Im astonished that people would not understand the implications of this act...this person was an ADMIN of said forum...not a regular user. he had my private information.
he hunted down pictures that were not even related to the situation... of my daughter and posted them...and you excuse this?
Please help me understand the compassion other than for the "coin" ?


~Lem

My compassion is with her. I remember being 17 and if my father continued to use me as a weapon for some insane obsessive internet rant, I'd be angry and embarassed as hell about it.  ::)

In any event, hopefully you run out of steam soon as none of this is healthy for the soul. I will now remove myself from this situation as I've no longer anything to contibute.

Best wishes. :)

Thank you for the best wishes...and I truly mean the same to you.
My daughter is aware of this..she is not ashamed of me ..not the least. I am teaching her the value of family and having a father that loves and wants to protect her. I am not the one that needs to be ashamed of my acts.


Good karma to you and your loved ones Epiphany...


~Lem

 I don't know either of you, and i can only guess the type of people you are based on what you post. So...about what your saying in the beginning of this quoted post. Respect is earned and if you demand respect you have to also give respect too! Treat others how you would like to be treated, and if he truly is a Vet then I say thanks for serving! I salute you for said service. But also if anyone really wants to have change in their favor...being a dick and or posting much of the stuff I have seen either on this thread or on NWGT.org, honestly I just don't get how you really think any of this HATE that's been posted is going to change anything or come to some kind of compromise or even get your way. Last I knew peezor and his brother run NWGT.org...and in my experience saying such posted stuff tends to only make your goal impossible to obtain and turn you into a black sheep of sorts. They run NWGT.org so maybe if your pissed off at their changes of what THEY run...just leave and let it go, holding on to such anger is only going to serve to put you in the ground sooner from said stress.

I mean really you only got 2 directions to go.

This "trolling" and "flaming" will do absolutely nothing and end in nothing happening, a complete mission failed.

so then 1. Leave NWGT.org and maybe make your own or just leave it don't make your own website.
OR
2. accept the fact that adding a tip system isn't really all that "bad" or "evil" or whatever it is your thinking about it and Realize that peezor and his brother have barely any real control over Cannacoin since it is Decentralized after all. so personal opinions mean nothing since they can't actually  "screw" or "defraud" anyone with it.

Alex

P.S. I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything here just stating my observations and what I've learnt in my life.

Scott,

Give us a chance to work the kinks out.  We are only just now learning how to customize the vBulletin platform and integrating everything with a cryptocurrency is something that's never been done before.

In addition, give Peezor a chance to figure out how to give users customization abilities for this feature.  It's not as simple as adding a "Yes" or "No" button.

I can guarantee you that all of your concerns and the concerns of others are heard and all of our plans include addressing those concerns while not abandoning the project.

Cheers,
Patrick

Just to be clear as I've now had to reiterate this probably a dozen of times now:

The statement that users are AUTOMATICALLY created Cannacoin addresses on NWGT is simply false. No one is able to send you Cannacoins without your consent UNLESS you specifically give them an address/location to send them to.

Regarding the icon, I've also pointed how this system currently works for others on NWGT and how there will be changes over time that will remove this icon for users who are already NOT participating. This implementation is a process and will modified over time, right now the icon has no use unless you enable it by adding your address under the profile settings.

Any user that signs and uses your website now...since Cannacoin icon has been added, can be involved with federally illegal drug activity and open to RICO act,...I can not believe you are taking the responsibitly to expose 16000 members to potential arrest or involvement via RICO act.
SILK ROAD involved other drugs..and cannabis...but you fail to remember that cannabis is still considered a schedule 1 drug by the feds.
What info do you have that makes you feel safe and think the feds will not be concerned about this..??.I would like to know.

Like I said Peezor..this should have been researched and documentation from a REAL attorney posted.

Have you contacted Aaron Pelly or any of the other high profile cannabis attorneys for advice on launching your cannacoin?
Do you not think it is your responsibility to insure your current population at NWGT is not at risk from federal prosecution or investigation?

You are not a lawyer..and neither am I...but when you risk that many people on your personal venture, you better get it right.
Either you will be known for the maker of cannacoin, or you will be knbown as the person that helped bring Medcial cannabis to her knees via federal force.


Oh..and since Im still banned and cannot access my content or private messages on your board,. your apology to me holds no weight. I broke no forum rules but you ban me?

And if yoiu ban me.,..please delete my account all the way..so my patients and friends do not see my name on your user list and have the impression I still visit your site.

I hope you forward some legal text concerning the merger of cannacoin and cannabis to the population, from a qualified attorney...its the least you can do to be responsible for this move,


~Lem

The tag teaming action of both of you here is becoming childish and immature, at point as you're both upset for breaking the rules of our website and being banned and now your retaliate by attempting to turn the discussion it into some sort "Cannascam" when in fact we're talking about a decentralized peer-2-peer software is silly. The complete information/announcements about this coin has been transparent and open since day 1. You'd have a hard time proving a scam other then you're opinions of what the vision of this coin is, if that's the case you should take a look around at some of the other cryptos out there :D
 
Demo you were banned for your threats and aggression towards other members on the boards(not to mention your previous bans, didn't you learn?). And Lem you were banned for your derogatory slurs, regardless of how upset or angry you may have been it is NEVER ok to use that type of bigotry on NWGT. You're fully aware of the need to respect patents and those who are seriously ill, but you failed to respect homosexuals and others when you use that language publicly(im sure you seriously offended some of our members, including myself who will look at you different due to your choice in words). I sent you (Lemonhoko) a public apology about further revealing the information that was public and you've chosen not to accept it or respond to my PMs. Viewing the the nature of you're tag teaming with Scott/Fellatio I'm assuming that you don't want to accept my apology or work through the issue and get back your account and for that you're account has stayed locked at NWGT.  You also never apologized for your hateful and derogatory word slinging.

Gentlemen, your smear and fear is not new in the crypto world it's not the first time we've seen this with BTC/CCN etc. The attacks and fear mongering surrounding the technology has been happening since it's inception and this community is fully aware of the tactics used by people like yourself and the news media. Everyone here is also fully aware of the risks of having a wallet compromised by a "hacker" however, it sounds like now you're trying to turn around your original statement of "the devs can access anyones wallets and clean them out" into "WARNING WALLETS ARENT SAFE, HACKERZZ!". Please do some due diligence, everyone here is fully aware of the risk of crypto and the potential for theft... just as the wallet in your back pocket is open to physical theft except with crypto you're able to encrypt and protect yourself if someone was to snoop and get a copy.

You post a pic of my minor child on your forum...I get upset with you and call you a name...and I owe YOU and apology?

Im glad you are making it real obvious what your nature is Peezor...I cant wait toi talk to you in person about this subject.

Have a nice day!


~Lem

I have no personal axe to grind with either of the Cannacoin twins.  I've been a member of NWGT for several years and have met both Jameson and Mr. Ramirez in person.

It would be one thing to bring Cannacoin to a forum that specialized in growing something other than cannabis, such as lavender or apples, but you are bringing unwanted attention to a medical cannabis forum where people for the most part, I would guess, deal in cash.

So far the DEA and RICO have been discussed.  You've forgotten that the IRS will get you even if the DEA doesn't.  The IRS has the legal power to demand your customer lists and your cryptocurrency transactions.  If you fail to do so you can be fined and/or see jail time.  Every person who is a member of NWGT is at risk because the IRS can demand to see records of who is a member there.

Maybe you missed this post:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2byri6/irs_auditing_my_mining_business_found_older/

Again, do we need to rehash this?  You posted a link to your daughters name/face in your forum signature and expected no one to know she was you're daughter?  And then you also tag her images, first name and profile on instagram (with bongs/weedplants) and then claim I'm the one revealing her identity to the world?  Again, I've extended my apology for pointing out the information on NWGT but you cannot call me a liar when you're the one posting her name/info/face everywhere.

As someone mentioned previously, if you're so concerned about her why do you continue to discuss and bring attention to use try and use as leverage in you're attacks. And yes, an apology from you and to the community for your poor choice of words/anger. Try using the homosexual slur in Capitol Hill and see how people react...  You're so concerned about your daughter identify then why do you post her images/name/face on your Lemonhoko growing/breeding social media if she's underage? I already told you, it was a negligent mistake and you're upset that I pointed it out publicly in front of others. I understand how you're upset and that's why I even took the time to publicly apologize, now be a man reconcile if you want to move on and wish to return to NWGT.

Josh...be a man and discuss this with me in person...I ask just a simple a quick solution to this.
A private meeting just yiu and I...we can talk politics, the rights and wrongs of posting someones minor childs picture on their forum.
Yes..the link was a mistake..it wasnt suppose to be there...and all the info you garnered...You tracked down on your own...and that proves a security violation..because, not only did you highlight my mistake..you dug deeper into content that was not NWGT related and posted them on your forum.
My private business.
You are a security risk Sir...and I would love to discuss this deeply with you in person.


I just cant seem to convey my emotions in text properly..I do better face to face.


~Lem

The world may not be aware that medical cannabis was close to being brought under the control of the Washington State Liquor Control Board, but wasn't, because at the last minute of the legislative session, the Democrats and Republicans couldn't agree on things.

I can just hear the next legislative session where the conservatives who want to do away with medical cannabis bring up the Cannacoin issue, saying that all medical cannabis patients and medical access points (not recreational) are subversives and tax cheats who need to be controlled and furthermore brought under the control of the LCB.

It's just more ammo for the legislature to use AGAINST our freedom.  Medical cannabis has flourished for 17 years in Washington State and we don't need the regulation of the LCB.  We don't need Cannacoin to be associated with medical cannabis.

It wasn't blurred until the thread was reopened and posted on here.
Dragging another's family into things was a completely fucked up thing to do.

This is false, unless you have proof or screen shots you could not even remotely substantiate this claim. If fact the already blurred information of name and face (covered by an bandana not to mention) was followed up with heavy pixelation to the images to hide any identities further. While i've already apologized for my actions, you're still trying to defend the fact this gentleman and the fact that he posted this information on his own instagram or linked to his daughters public profile in his forum signature for all to view (I have screen shots)...or the fact that she herself (under her real first name) attempted to signup on our forums so she do some bidding for her father on the CCN debate before I even pointed her out publicly? Talk about dragging family into things... Now remind me who exactly are you?

Cannacoin, it's nice that you've apologized for your actions, but your credibility is damaged every time you do so.  You're sort of like the two-year-old toddler who doesn't know right from wrong and Mommy has to keep putting the child in a time-out corner.

Or maybe you do know right from wrong but simply chose to be malicious.  Lem was the first person to call you out and say that NWGT was being used as leverage to promote the use of Cannacoin.  No connection there, huh?

I participated in said thread and was amazed at what Peezor / Cannacoin was doing. The picture was in fact not blurred. I told him he was making a big mistake, he then proceeded to attempt to justify his actions.

"The level of BS coming from me "revealing" anyones identity is heavy. The guy made a negligent mistake, now i'm airing out the stench that followed."

That was his response to me questioning the wisdom of posting the pic of a forum members underage daughter.

Peezor / Cannacoin continued to attempt to justify his actions until the backlash became so severe that he issued his insincere(imo) apology.

"Lem,

This post is directly for you and no one else however, I feel it should be public. I apologize for the actions I took that led to revealing more information about your daughter to members of NWGT. I was in no way shape or form attempting to bring out the information and it was simply a negligent mistake(on both our parts) which was pointed out publicly. At the time of her comments here on the site I wasn't aware that no one knew about your daughter within our community, and I wasn't aware that you were not aware of her link in your signature(for all I know you were just being a proud dad). I hope you understand that when I'm being shown/told this information and I'm not told that it's not public knowledge that It may be confusing to myself as to what I should or shouldn't know(as well as other). You have brought here on tinychat, tag her account on IG, and she had an account here the last thing I am thinking is "Lem doesn't wan't anyone to know his daughter".

Taking to your instagram to try and prove my point isn't really the most mature thing to do but in my position being attacked from all angles I only felt I was what was right to prove that your comments that I revealed her identity were false. In hindsight I realize this is non-productive and realistically immature. I sincerely hope you can accept this apology as I truly was not aware and I did not mean for this to affect you or your families safety. I also hope this has taught everyone a few things about the importance of posting information on social media as I know I've learned quite a bit from this situation myself.

Josh"

Today, apparently upset that his apology was not accepted he posted this:

"My public apology was seen by Lem im 100% as he's followed up yet he still hasn't address me via private message or accept my apology and move on. He has also not apologized for his use of such hateful and derogatory words on NWGT against the homosexual community. I don't care how angry or pissed off you are, that type of language or lashing out is NOT ok and others have been removed in the past for the same reason. If i'm willing to extend the olive branch (as I have with my apology and PMs) and he refuses himself to participate in reconciliation for his patients and his membership here at NWGT then there's not much I can do to help the guy, he's still a loaded gun and we won't have that here.

End of discussion, thanks for your concern but this topic isn't open for public debate or comments by unrelated parties. Thread closed."

Now he is claiming that the picture he posted was blurred? That is just not true.

These guys heavy handed handling of all of this has turned NWGT into a virtual ghost town overnight. They have banned, and locked out dissenting voices. In the process they have alienated 90% of the remaining users.

Do not be misled, there is no Cannacoin userbase there.

The value of crypto currencies is forever fluxuating against BTC/Fiat. It's will not always be up as well as it will not always be going down as we're constantly working on new tools, services and ways to add value to the coin.  This is not a hard concept to grasp.

hello good people of the cryptocurrency world!

i've learned a lot in the last few days about what it means when a gangsta calls a shyster a "fa**ot."

turns out in gangsta vernacular, the name has nothing to do with sexuality.  it means "weak man."  It wasn't slurring homosexuals....he dosen't do that..i know because i AM one....he's slurring a weak man, using old school vernacular....and rightfully so.  

Maybe i'm a little too old school, but if there's a fight, i'd rather align on the side of a gangsta telling a truth, than a shyster child abuser, lying.

I am a long time medical cannabis patient in washington state.  I've been a "member" on the thumb, since its start in 2011.  I don't post much, but i pay attention.  I know all you people all over the world think we evolutionaries in Washington State have gone and made cannabis "legal" in washington state, and you want in on the "green rush" free for all..... but you have another think coming...

What we've done in the last 20 years, is force our state to decriminalize medical use of cannabis, and for the first 15 years of those "legal MEDICAL cannabis" years, there were still lots of busts, and we still have patients in jail for medical cannabis charges, even though they were "legal" medical patients.  You see...the feds don't give a care what the state's say....the feds still consider cannabis a felony offense, and they have proven in the past over and over again, that they will come in, jack boot down everyone's door, and cart them off to jail for any amount of cannabis, in any form, whenever they feel like it.  Five people in washington who were growing medical cannabis together, as a family, for their own use, and as valid medical cannabis patients, are embroilled in a federal trial right now....from an arrest just a few months ago.

  then, just a year or so ago, we the people of washington, the state, using the initiative privilege provided in our state constitution, also forced our state government, to ALSO decriminalize and facilitate RECREATIONAL use of cannabis in Washington state, and instructed our state to get it started.  But cannabis is felony and illegal in the united states of america...ANY cannabis; the prohibition of cannabis has not been repealed. You think the federal government is going to take lightly an international cryptocurrency intended to be for and about cannabis?  Think again.  "Canna"coin is about cannaBIS and just might be the door that opens back up all the raids, jailings, beatings and other human abuses, and sets us back to the days of scoring our medicine on the streets, from thugs.  Of course it could be!

The kind and loving people on the NWGT, who have done so much to help so many people with their health, happiness and well-being have served the patient community tirelessly, but we KNOW we are on the fringe and we BELIEVE in an adults right to use a plant, without penalty or fear, and we are, to a person, willing and DO take that risk.  We are NOT willing to take the risk so cryptocurrency speculators, can profit...and certainly not help a "coin" though the next, critical phase of development by endlessly microtipping each other with it.

I know enough about cannaCOIN (and cryptocurrency) to know that it will bring unneeded and unnecessary attention to our otherwise low-key, chill, and loving community....it already is.....and i understand and respect that the community, itself, is not in favor of this added risk.  Particularly, i can see that many of the long-time growers and providers and patients of medical cannabis in Washington State, do not appreciate and will not stay silent about being used (and misrepresented) in a marketing plan for cannacoin.  How many of us there are (at NWGT) was grossly misrepresented..intentionally....to the people here and elsewhere, to get YOUR money and buy-in; how many of us (at NWGT) who are ready and eager to uptake cannacoin, has also been grossly misrepresented to fool YOU into thinking cannacoin is a no fail, sure thing.   Cannacoin hasn't been honest.  We HAVE to speak up. Unfortunately, we have been "silenced" at NWGT.

We also do not appreciate "uncovering" the background marketing strategies that talk about us, as a group of humans, like we are cattle, to be herded into using cannacoin for a newly implemented microtipping feature.....while other places online the developers of cannacoin "dab their meds" on youtube and discuss in other places online, that the NUMBER OF TRANSACTIONS on the coin HAS to be increased at this critical time in cannacoin's development, and without such uptick in the NUMBER of transactions, the coin will not likely prosper.  

It is no wonder the community feels "set up" to uptake a cryptocurrency we don't want or need, to provide the needed "Number of Transactions" necessary (by making microtransaction tips between us), so that a sideline, speculative enterprise, can prosper and profit.   To us, this feels like abusing sick people.

We are coming here, and will continue to come here, and we will go where-ever this conversation continues, or needs to be raised, until these issues are respectfully recognized and honored.  If they are NOT addressed fully, completely, and honestly, we will...and are...leaving.    NWGT was formed to provide a safe and secure way for medical patients in need, and medical growers with extras, to connect in safety.   If we, the serious medical cannabis community, migrate elsewhere....what the "new thumb" will attract are young, oil-dabbing profiteerg men...like cannacoin....who scheme to make money speculating on sick people...and you can damn well bet not only the state of washington, but the federal goverment, and probably in cahoots.... is gonna come knocking on THAT door.  If i were a federale, i would.  As a medical cannabis patient who connects with my provider on the thumb, i don't want the two linked.    

Medical cannabis patients are people who have end-stage cancer, people with spastic disorders that keep them from functioning in life,  adults in chronic pain....the list of maladies is long, and grotesque.    It is THEIR safety and security that has been compromised....and i'm NOT talking about cryptocurrency security when i say security...i'm talking HUMAN security....and i'm talking about the security of sick humans and the loving people who risk it all, to help them.

As medical cannabis growers and providers, we are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS strong, we use cannabis to LIVE, and we will NOT be bullied, nor treated as chattel or an asset to be capitalized upon.   We are used to being bullied....by federal drug squad goons who hold guns to our children's heads, who trash and pillage our homes, who steal our assets as forfeiture, who terrorize our patients, and who shut us up in cells, like animals, to keep us silent.  These federal drug squads have agreed to keep their "hands off" the medical cannabis community in Washington state...for now.....UNLESS and UNTIL minors, cartels, and six other "conditions" are abused.

Those conditions have been abused.....by cannacoin.

Posting a picture of a minor...a picture that was searched for on the internet, and found offsite, then posted on our medical cannabis forums, is about the WORST thing that anyone could ever do in our neck of the woods...and i hope in yours.  I hope cannacoin knows this and gets of his righteous power trip to see it is the action of a "fa**ot" ....a weak man in gangsta talk.  

  You see, we still have to protect ourselves, as if we are gangstas.....and using and manipulating children to harm a fellow adult who disagrees with the "cryptocurrency program" but has otherwise a very valuable, generous and calming "asset" to the community.....is JUST NOT ALLOWED....even if it was an "negligent mistake" as described in the apology.   The truth is:  I was NOT neglect, nor was it a mistake.  It was premeditated and calculated and executed, and WRONG.  And the PARENT of the minor was banned for calling the guy who did it, cannacoin, a "fa**ot."  Banned...his patients cannot contact him.  He cannot contact his patients.  He is being silenced and shunned by NWGT admins who then posted and locked a public apology and sent him PM's in an online forum from which is is banned....trying to force the guy into a private meeting, after shunning him in PUBLIC.  We all recognize this banning is a "tactic" to "save" cannacoin....and now the world gets to know this cannacoin developer, is the very person...cannacoin....who is asking YOU to participate in his crypto currency scheme.

so.....

Cannacoin, the guy here, needs to make it right.  I don't know how....what i do know, is:  He isn't even trying.  He doesn't give a flip....people can flock away from the patient centered medical cannabis community we've built, he doesn't care....because MORE, fresh, young meat, will soon turn up.  Human assets can be churned.  Lots of new people now love cannabis...

 What Cannacoin IS doing, is spinning stuff, banning people, editing people's posts, threatening the safety and security of our medical cannabis marketplace, and endangering and threatening every single one of the patients that the site was built to accommodate.  Including ME and MY patients. For money.

so...these cannacoin guys have:

1. lied to crypto currency customers using intentionally misrepresenting marketing;
2. misrepresented the number and ideals of the "human assets" they "control" in order to achieve the uptick in transaction numbers required at this stage for any cryptocurrency evolution;
3. disregarded and silenced dissenting voices from those "assets" who have valid concerns and questions;
4. abused children and endangered families;
5. violated the standing peace between our state medical cannabis system and the federal gov, threatening medical cannabis as a whole;
5. rolled out their microtransaction tipping system anyway and advised anyone who doesn't like it, to take a hike;
6. isolated and intimidated patients, many of whom are on DEATH'S DOOR.

but wait!  there's more!

Here's what poking around on the internet looking for something to post about someone, yields:  

These people are ALSO conspiring to ALIGN cannacoin, (after its "successful" uptake and adequate "uptick in transaction numbers" achieved via the rollout of a microtipping system on NWGT), and the medical cannabis community they CLAIM to represent, with a weasel of a self-proclaimed "activist" ...someone most of us would just like to disappear, or at least shut up, because he's that much of a weasel and embarrassment.....and again, they are planning this without asking us, the actual people who built, populate, and keep NWGT alive.  

And THEY'RE scheme is to propose changes in the medical cannabis laws in our state, changes we, as patients, don't get to know about or have input on ahead of time, and to link those changes to cannacoin, based on the acceptance and uptake of "16K medical cannabis growers on the Northwest Greenthumb."     This weasel, now DEPOSED as head of the Cannabis Action Coalition, is a shyster.  He also regularly uses pejorative names on the thumb...like c**t and b**ch, when referring to another human being....and yet he is NOT banned, while a father who calls a shyster "fa**ot after the shyster posts a picture of a child in a forum about a federally illegal substance...and IDENTIFIES the child by name.... gets banned for calling him a "fa**ot."

Bad karma all the way around.  

so...cryptocurrency community.....if YOU invest your wealth, energy, future, and karma on a scheme that misrepresents, exploits sick people for profit, abuses children in anger, treats humans as chattel to be used up and eliminated in an unspoken profit plan and undisclosed political agenda, censors free speech, and engages in behind door politicing, YOU will be FEEDING greed.

Not this fella!

Here's a tip for you:  you cannacoin speculators in canada, ohio, alabama, and the majority of other states in the usa.... and in countries all around the world...go plant a big crop of cannabis as if your mother's life depended on it....take the REAL risk and put away the carpetbagging lust for wealth.  It's disgusting.

END FEDERAL CANNABIS PROHIBITION




 

Thank you for that correction!

The fact that you are still trying shift fault from yourself to others is sad peezy. I seriously hope your cannacoin hits the shitter, you have done a horrible job representing what NWGT means these past few days. Banning some of the most respected members that have done way more for the site than you because you're that determined to push your cannacoin onto the community.
And just to reiterate, no, the picture was not blurred at first. You posted a clear picture of an underage girl on our forum as a method of leverage only to blur it out later and shift blame to the father for being mad at you for doing such an indecency. I think the term "weak man" from  above fits you perfectly.

Bait and Switch  Premined coins.

I signed up here to clarify that Cannacoin is lying here. I witnessed said picture unblurred when it was originally posted. The only thing that was blurred was a small section of text which I can only assume was her real name or username. The picture was untouched. Screenshots posted of an unblurred image would be doing the same thing that you did, which is making a horrible decision of posting someone's minor daughter online and drawing attention to it. Whether Lem had it on his profile or not is irrelevant to me. If he did it purposely then it's his mistake, but contacting him directly rather than turning a link into a picture for all to see should be a common sense action. It doesn't take an intelligent individual to know this. You're obviously a smart guy, but made a stupid decision. It happens to the best of us...

I have never had a problem with you Peezor/CannaCoin. The only issue I have is that this situation shows a lack of discretion and a security issue; An issue that seriously concerns me and has caused me to take a step back and analyze the situation. While I don't agree with Lem's choice of words, if it were me in his situation, I'd say some things that would be quite out of character as well. Words you'd much rather read than hear with me in your face. I appreciate what you've done with NWGT in the past and thank you for having the site available for patients to use. The incident isn't the only thing I question, but since this, a majority of the posts and/or threads I've seen appear (at NWGT) have been removed simply because (I feel) that you're afraid your actions (and the backlash that arose from those actions) might do your website and potentially CannaCoin a huge disservice.

We all make mistakes Peezor. A public apology is a good start, but unfortunately your apology comes off more-so as an excuse or finger pointing; Essentially, it feels lazy and as if you're going through the motions. From someone who prides himself on honesty (sometimes to a fault), I ask that you please discontinue posting blatant lies (like the one that brought me here to sign up). I consider this a complete disrespect to the community and I take it personally that you'd post something completely false with the intent to call anyone who saw the entire situation unfold, a liar.

Also: I'm sorry that I'm posting about things other than the CannaCoin cryptocurrency itself. I really didn't want to post here, but felt obligated to do so because lies get under my skin something fierce. Since these actions are of username "CannaCoin", posting here seemed logical and while he may not "own" the cryptocurrency, I'm sure he stands to profit immensely from this form of currency taking off. THIS is why members of NWGT have flooded over here and have caused this thread to make a sharp turn towards drama & BS. Peezor, if you'd like to speak with me directly, I have no problem taking this to messages as I don't want to have to address numerous posts here and do anymore 'stoking the fire' than necessary. Message and you'll get my username, one I hope you don't decide to ban because I posted 100% truth.

Jameson and Peezor are Gay whats the big deal.
Still not right they post pictures of children on there website, owners personally posting pictures of children.   WTF?????

Your right, they have flipped. These dollar signs from this scam has them blinded.

Cannacoin...You are being called out as a liar.
Doesnt that bother you?
You have not addressed any of the above posters..as Im sure more will filter here from NWGT as they find this site.

Its amazing you can lie about posting my minor daughters picture and all the additional information,..saying you blurred her face.
I was there...remember?
So were the posters above...and many more that have not come here yet.,
And yet..you wish for me to accept your half hearted apology, throwing the blame on me.

Does it not concern you...that you have been caught...in another lie just now?????

And you just ignore all the previous posts. I guess thats what you do when you can not lock and censor threads.
It must be your worst night mare to know that the rest of NWGT population will slowly trickle into these boards to keep this topic hot and fresh on a daily basis.
Ignoring us wont make us go away Cannacoin.
If you want to take it back to your home boards and leave this site to coin talk..then release the population of NWGT from your control.
Give up Admin...and re-instate the accounts you banned...give us another platform to argue this....

Its your call...have your crap exposed to the public...or take it back home...its as easy as letting Demo, myself and whoever you banned over this back into the forums.
YOU or Jameson are not why we are there...it is for the patients that need us....I hope you are as smart as I think you are and know that this is not going to turn out well for your cannacoin...if you keep this business in the public eye.

Remember,..you have 16,000 users...and a big part of that user base have high regards for Demo and I...and Fish and the others you banned.

Step down...and release our community from your tyrantical leadership...

Why dont you start a poll...how many of the user base at NWGT would like you (Peezor) to step down as admin?

Are you even man enough to do that???
