Why not implement something in Bitcoin then? Laziness???
http://www.nxtcrypto.org/nxt-asset-exchange

The people of la bitcoin foundation is scratching the eggs, instead of programming new features.
With the money there would have to implement a lot of good in record time.

But as exchange has people inside, nothing comes out.
We will always be dependent on them in bitcoin.

Biticoin tends to disappear in the long term space for new coins with better ideas.

All software becomes obsolete, see social networks, instant messengers, SO's, etc ...

Promoting a bad altcoin such as Nxt?

You're saying this less than 15 days after a new release of the client.   ::)

No, just wanted to see new things in currency of more value.

Corrected a flaw was discovered in que 2011 became public after it. I do not think that a breakthrough.

Why didnt you just say bitcoin foundation on your headline, your Title is obsolete!

What does 'scratching the eggs' mean?

How do you know it wont become obsolete?

Bitcoin is not outdated, I believe bitcoin.

Go pump your altcoin elsewhere.

If you honesly believe bitcoin will become obsolete then you shouldnt be here, this site of the believers of new money.  We are the people and we say what goes not the banks and our governments, we have to all stand together against there takedown on bitcoin.  They fear it, so lets roar!!!

Bitcoin will NEVER be obsolete. It's too deeply etched into history for that to happen. Because it's a protocol for asset transfer without 3rd party trust.

Neither will some of the alt-coins, for that matter. I'm talking about Litecoin, Vertcoin, Quarkcoin, Peercoin, Namecoin, in particular. They all have their uses and contexts.

Everything becomes obsolete. I'm sure cash will and I'm sure Bitcoin will, even if Bitcoin replaces cash eventually.

scratching the eggs?

Internet is not obsolete.

"everything becomes obsolete" is a fallacy and a sophistic argument. Please give a reason why it would become obsolete. What feature is outdated? How should it improve?

My understanding is that NXT is a bit like Ethereum, it is good for contracts and trading stuff (including Bitcoin).

Bitcoin was given birth at the origin separate from NMC for several reasons that Satoshi himself debated. I think most people would agree that has proven to be wise. NXT goes in the complete opposite direction. Not in itself bad but hardly making Bitcoin "obsolete".

Also this belongs in the alts sub-forum.

it means you scratch your eggs  ;D  which one of your eggs I have no idea ???

The first new groundbreaking 1.0 tech, rarely goes on to be the world's choice.  It's the 2.0 and up versions, that usually build superior products from the example of the earlier innovations.  The double-spend problem has been solved...thanks Bitcoin, but now that there is proof of concept, anyone can build from that.  

Anything could happen of course but Bitcoin doesn't seem to have enough resources devoted to core development, to keep up with the rising 2.0 tech.  Ripple is a prime example.  Love it or hate it, they have a massive team and a huge amounts of capital, just dedicated to their core development.  This is the type of organized commitment that usually goes on to develop solutions that the masses will utilize in their daily lives.

In the time I've been involved in the digital currency space, I've see no such commitment from Bitcoin, and it was a recurring theme at CoinSummit.  Everyone realizes this is an issue, but no one is willing to work for free to get things done. Time will tell how it plays out but anything can become obsolete.  If the general public finds better solutions to suit their needs, that will be that.  After all, it is the general public (the masses) that determine what will be successful.  Not "early adopters".

It would be nice to see a distributed exchange and some faster developments sometimes, but calling BTC obsolete is a bit of an exaggeration.

It means scratching your balls

I prefer my eggs scrambled, not scratched.

Or maybe he meant scratching your legs ie procrastinating / not doing much.

Ouch!

;D

Calling cryptocurrency obsolete in 2014 is like calling electricity obsolete in 1755.

another altcoin advertisment with no intelliagent arguments to say how nxt is any better.

especially when the main coders of nxt, copy and pasted over 90% of the protocol, and just added layers on top.
this make people dependant and centralising their trust to one program.

instead of multiple programs, multiple services. giving the people freedoms and choices. so nxt is worse then the foundation.

and just like the whole DOGE scenario.. (pretending DOGE would be valued higher then litecoin) it now sits at under 200sat price point.

nxt and doge both have no retail merchant adoption of any large scale, no transference to fiat in any practical way..

and after a few months the mainy developers move on..

altcoins have yet to find a actually provable use that can sustain itself beyond 3 months of hype. which puts them all into a category of pump and dumps

the only xception to that rule is Hullcoin which appears to be getting local support from retailers and from local government of that area, which should power bitcoins adoption, by using Hullcoin as the sandbox trial for proper mainstream use.

agree，bitcoin always outdated.

Damn you autocorrect

Haha, so was it scratching your legs?

Nxt, ethereum and 2nd generation coins could damage bitcoin if developers continue sleeping. Only time will tell, however we may be attent

Maybe you mean the technology behind Bitcoin will never become obsolete.

And even that is debatable. Sataoshi Nakamoto was a brilliant man but he is no longer involved.
There are other brilliant minds in the world who are working on similar technologies. Now and in the future.

The best is yet to come.

DOGE is actually the 1# in transactions activity. Actually the only coin that normal people may know outside nerd circles.

But nobody uses DOGE outside a subset of Bitcoin users. You have a point though, that Bitcoin needs massive marketing to become known.

DOGE is also a fiat currency SCAM.

Easter's coming

Sure, Bitcoin might become obsolete one day. But to be honest, I think the alt coin to accomplish this has yet to be created.

The direct Bitcoin / Litecoin forks bring only neglible innovation to the table and are more of an experimental playground right now (as much as I love DOGE).

The so called 2nd gen of alt coins, or IPO coins if you will, I'm still highly skeptical of. They all sound good in theory, and I have a lot of respect for what these devs are trying to accomplish, but there's still a long way to go until one can make any estimates about these protocols feasibilities. I'm afraid most of these projects will suffer from trying to solve too many problems at once. But we'll see. I'm looking forward to see what the future brings.

I think we are all forgetting something, and that is one of the qualities that gives value to something is that it lasts. Gold doesn't corrupt. Diamonds likewise. We would not consider Bitcoin valuable if it was only a temporary thing. One of the inherent qualities that gives Bitcoin value is that it isn't going anywhere. Nobody would invest in it if a year from now it would be outdated and undervalued. Either Bitcoin is here to stay, or we are all wasting our resources.

I think the temptation is to say: "It's too hard to mine BTC, let's make a better coin that is easier to mine." However something easier to mine is far less valuable.

+1 so should everyone else on this forum...

Huevos rancheros!

lol wtf is this?

This made me laugh out :D

ya, bad move, noone will go for it ;)

I would like to see zerocoin implemented, makes sense with whats going on in the US.

OP is now officially obsolete.  ;D

Btc and litecoin forever

I don't always agree with him, but I love reading Mircea's blog.

See you all in the year 2200 when this thread becomes relevant again! Look for the brain in the robot body (paid for in BTC)!
