105  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2014-01-03 - smh.com.au - NSA researching quantum computer on: January 03, 2014, 11:58:35 AM
@ neutrinox The hundreds of others do not have the technological and monetary backing as NSA does.

@cr1776 No, Bitcoin was not mentioned in the article, but quantum computing would have a massive impact on all kinds of encryption, including Bitcoin.

Nope just a little change.

107  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is causing reset effects on a global scale on: January 03, 2014, 11:45:02 AM
Eventually Bitcoin must die or crush any other currency system.

Using any other methods to store and trade value will become useless.

Never going to happen, people will always use other stores of value as a currency system, virtual currencies will only ever share the space.

Yes Sir, your gold, silver, barrel of oil, is now priced in Bitcoin, you can only use Bitcoin. Not a chance!


^^^ THIS ^^^
Also why do you think people want to use only 1 store of value?
Ideally you should use different ones to reduce the risks..

109  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Proof Of Stake Coins are killing this community on: December 31, 2013, 12:38:45 AM
Pure PoS are total scam as it's not possible to distribute the coins equally to the entire humanity and even if you can do that I believe there will be complains for this and that.
On the other hand, probably PoW is a waste of energy but the distribution it's not centralized as PoS (don't paste BTC distribution, I know, thanks)
Maybe we need another paradigm a better PoW/PoS?

111  Economy / Speculation / Re: India is officialy out of Bitcoin for the foreseeable future on: December 31, 2013, 12:27:32 AM
About India I don't understand the problem.

Let's say I'm an indian and want into bitcoin.
What's stopping me from putting money into an exchange using an overseas money order or paypal or whatever?
What can the Indian government do to stop me?

I can understand that using bitcoin in everyday life won't be possible but as an investment it could be viable.

Just my 2 cents...

I guess it is the easiest way to discourage average people and limit public interest on this new devil technology. It's called "Prohibitionism" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibitionism)
Rich will find a way to use it they really want, the rest will ignore it

It's all based on psychology.

During a btc bubble, alt/btc tends to move against btc. This is because
1) Traders all want to hold btc to be part of the btc rally, and are willing to sell the alt at any price, to oversold levels, to do so. This drives alt/btc down.
2. Traders have the attitude that alt/usd is a constant and then when btc/usd rises, mathematically, alt/btc must fall, and vice versa.
3) They use the alt as a hedge against btc corrections during the rally.
Summary: Traders want to hold BTC.

During a btc crash after a bubble, alt/btc tends to move with btc. This is because
1). Investors are so bearish that they sell the alt to oversold levels because it necessary to sell btc for fiat.
2) A bearish mindset that if btc can crash then alts must be completely worthless.
Summary: Traders want to hold FIAT.

When these conditions are not met, often btc/usd does not affect alt/btc. This is because
1) Investors are not having trading reactions on one pair based on the other pair and there is no psychological reason to do this.
2) Investors realize that the value of alts rise and fall with the value of btc.
Summary: Theres no strong influence over what traders are holding.

I agree with this, more or less this is what happened during the last year during pre-in-post BTC bubbles.
Don't forget that we have many different alts "type" today so it might apply only to clones
113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WARNING - Cryptsy loses your Coins!! on: December 31, 2013, 12:11:48 AM
Usually Cryptsy resolved this kind of issue running an audit on the account.
Has the situation with deposit/withdraw changed?
I don't see huge spikes and downtime as we had few weeks ago
114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coins are officially pumped and dumped? on: December 31, 2013, 12:06:52 AM
All coins created after LTC success, you name it! Last most famous and successful is Doge
Don't forget WDC, FTC, DGC and so on which because some time passed some people might think that they are legit. They are not.


he lost money on BFL miners and he couldn't buy GPUs Tongue
115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: STOP Buying MOON Coin For 1btc=1mil!!!! on: December 31, 2013, 12:02:57 AM
Doge a well established coin?
A coin which based its success on a meme and so much spam? (more than feathercoin, unbelievable!)
Seriously?

I was excited to rape this shitcoin out of the gates (which I did) but this whole thing with multipool getting the source before everyone else is just too sketchy. Next person to post their address can have my coins. This coin sucks!

SHA-256? No thanks! But I am sure you will attract some kids with their ASICs.
It doesn't add anything to what we already have but at least the block reward is lower at launch

I am not sure if there is much difference on hashing to justify the $50 more but if you look at the resell value there is, for sure.
My advise is to buy the 4gb version
