Just wait and see:

This could not be another DAO FAIL, but will surely teach you some lessons.

@Spoetnik

Can you please enlighten us about at least few positive things you've done so far? I dare to argue, BUT you have no clue on what you are talking about. Try to create something with or without money (oh, boy, would give my right arm to see how this will develop), then you can come here and prove us what kind of a expert you are.

Try adding one of Poloniex IP as a seed node - 104.20.13.48

EDIT: And HitBTC exchange: 104.31.78.244

P.S. Don't want your coins, thanks.

We don't always agree but i think we do here today  Shocked

We don't always agree, because you are mostly blinded by your own personal thoughts. Look @ FailCoin and why it was created in a first place. We are supporting it since April 2014 with money from our own pockets. And try to guess why it's looking like that at the moment?

EDIT: Here is a remix from my man KhaledFreak to all who claims that Litecoin is a "dull shitcoin" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm1AQk30kFs

So, what now? Looks like Spoetnik openly admitted that he found about cryptocurrencies while searching for porn on TPB. Grin
1146  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hillbilly sells house and goes all in on Litecoin... WTF? on: September 17, 2016, 01:18:12 PM
i've been around this forum awhile and i ask the opposite "who wouldn't?"

One thing - greed. People who bash Litecoin does not understand what cryptocurrency means and its initial purpose. Litecoin is THE BEST example of an altcoin that supports it.
1147  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hillbilly sells house and goes all in on Litecoin... WTF? on: September 17, 2016, 11:41:37 AM
LTC has held itself up in the range of 0.006+BTC and have been stable at this price for a long time which shows the accumulation.

Well, yeah. If we accept that LTC is the Bitcoin's silver then yes.

How is "4FUN & HELP" sounds? So far I think this is the best suggestion:

"Help while having fun"

... but I think it could be shortened.

EDIT: This one is very good too:

Fun by helping

EDIT2: One of our members suggested "Help while failing". Grin

EDIT3: A did that for 10 mins:

Guys, buying LTC is not that bad decision. Smiley If the price doubles, he can then buy 2 houses and 2 cameras and make 2 videos at once. Cheesy
How is that even possible ? The rates are failling down as the time passes ,not really secure to have LTC as a investment back-up.What he is saying is completely fictional and doesn't imacpt in the real time markets !~Byoing LTC when the market is on low levels could be a good decision.

Litecoin got hurt from the last pump and dump which was made by the chinese, but I'm sure they are accumulating lots of it... even now. I think that at the time LTC had more trade volume than Bitcoin. Trust me, LTC is far from over.

Why? He is misinformed or outright telling lies when he says nobody. Do you think it's wrong to stop that? But it's your thread, you're the boss. Let's see how pro free speech you are.

I agree he is most likely misinformed, because there are several projects which probably needs more attention. I also agree that his posts are not always constructive and he often likes to bash everybody, but himself. Are you happy now? Smiley I'm not the boss, but there is nothing wrong if I want my first self-moderated thread to be constructive. Smiley
1153  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your opinion on the future of "digital money" (cryptocurrencies)? on: September 17, 2016, 08:05:33 AM
What I am 101% sure is that digital currencies will be widely used in future. They could and they will be a store of value. But, in my humble opinion, comparing them with gold is not serious. dinofelis has some point when saying that if a states accept that Bitcoin (for example) is money, then it must be hard forked and they must have full control over it (keys, distribution). Banks are already exploring the blockchain technology and I am not going to be surprised if the ECB comes up with their digital EURO. Same applies to FR of the USA. Bitcoin is not (and it is not serious to think it is) in the picture here.  

But here people forget something. There are other parts of the world. Everyone is talking about profits and governments to which we are (or we could be) depended. There are a lot more economies with trillions of $ combined wealth. We don't have only $, euro, CNY, RUB or JPY... we have hundreds of currencies more. What if I tell you that there is a country with 250M+ population and GDP close to a trillion $? I am talking about Indonesia. Why nobody is talking about Indonesia as a factor? Do you know that our "shitcoin" alone has 150+ members in its indonesian group? I have like 15 of them as friends on Facebook. Every single day like half of them is talking about cryptocurrencies. Most of them are happy with very small daily profits and they are constantly posting about different coins. You should see their discussions too. One if them is posting and immediately like 10 people are engaging in less than an hour.

So, guys, Bitcoin probably have its future, which is not depended on banks and their decisions on cryptocurrencies. I've said that if its user base becomes x10-30, it would be huge. I've also said that Bitcoin cannot fight the banks, but as dinofelis implied, it could achieve a certain freedom.

EDIT: freshman777, I haven't deleted his comment on purpose, but if this "fight" continue, I'll delete your new ones.
1154  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your opinion on the future of "digital money" (cryptocurrencies)? on: September 17, 2016, 01:21:20 AM
my prediction btc will not be used as a currency, it will be used as the greatest store of value avialible . it will be value so high  the little bit of transaction fees is enough  to feed the miners to keep it running. the global govt will have no problem with btc sitting in the sidelines like gold . as for the alt coins, they will all be overpowered by the govt fiatcoin they will come up with. the best chance for any crypto is to work on the store of value aspect, u cant complete with the global govt, too many sheeps backing it.

Yeah, this is one of the most likely scenarios. But I wouldn't rule altcoins/assets/tokens out. I think we have at least 150 currencies circulating around the world, so there might be some free spots to be taken by others.
1155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hillbilly sells house and goes all in on Litecoin... WTF? on: September 17, 2016, 01:11:39 AM
HAHAHA! Cheesy We'll see to where this goes, but I think that's not a very risky investment. Smiley
1156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A slogan for an altcoin on: September 16, 2016, 09:19:42 PM
Fun + Help = Felp


Used in a slogan:

See above and...

"Felp Yourself"

That sounds like Phelps (like Michael Phelps). Smiley
1157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your opinion on the future of "digital money" (cryptocurrencies)? on: September 16, 2016, 09:14:21 PM
There's a difference.  A crazy bank doing essentially a ponzi, and then going on its face, I think that is not only normal, I find it normal that its gambling customers lose their money.  They were in for the 7%, they played, and they got burned.  Fair game.  It is even unfair to the taxpayer, that he has to cough up part of the gamblers' losses of those bank customers through state warranties.

Same goes for Luxembourg and their external debt. It is a GRAND scheme with over 100 different banks involved. And guess who pays for it? Smiley

The Euro is a very special construction.  The Euro is the first and probably only "private money" that is common fiat to several states.  It is the first time that a state doesn't control its fiat, but a private entity does.
The Euro was invented by European federalists, in their wild dreams to make a United States of Europe, with grave neglecting of the communities and different nations (people) that they were putting artificially together in one big state power house.  They tried to shove the European Union of Socialist Soviet Republics through the throats of the different people, with the collaboration of their states, but it failed.   As such we are in this funny experiment, where states have given up their monetary prerogatives to a weird club of bankers in Frankfurt.
On the other hand, this has decoupled the Euro from the standard frauds that states usually do with their own money, and for the first time in history, states are kept to do vaguely correct bookkeeping of their revenues and expenses, without cheating too much. They aren't used to that, and this is why almost no European state gets its finances in order.  They never did, but could print money in the old days.  Now they have to borrow money from the bankers of Frankfurt.   

Euro is the evil... same goes for the "almighty" $...

Do you believe your premise will still hold true when events like this become an everyday occurrence?

Almost the same btw happened in Bulgaria with CCB (Corporate Commercial Bank) back in 2014. The bank ended up with a 4.2 Billion BGN loss ($2.43 Billion or 2.15 Billion EURO). To get the bigger picture, I'll say that GDP of Bulgaria is about $50 Billion and that loss represents ~4.5$ of entire country's GDP. Some time ago they gave ridiculous rates on term deposits (up to 7%/year) and a lot of people got burned. I'm not sure if people got part of their money back (up to 100k EURO, of course... no matter if you had 200k or 2Mn).

"Because it's fun to help."
or
"Because helping is fun"

I think this sounds better Cheesy

Edit: added another slogan Cheesy

Probably, but imho these slogans summarizes only "help". The idea is to imply help and fun.

That's simply optics.  You can do that too, with good optics and a drone Smiley
I think it is not the normal print, but the head lines - but of course you can just get any resolution, by increasing the size of the aperture.  That's the whole art of making big telescopes.

I meant that they can do it from space that is why I used the word satellites, not drones. Wink

Frankly, no.  Some *technologies* may have been retarded somewhat before going public.  Scientific knowledge, no.  Hell, the biggest scientific secret ever, the nuclear bomb, was out even before the war was totally over.  We even know the next biggest secret: the thermonuclear explosion.

Scientific discoveries are like zero-day exploits.  You can find them, and keep them  for yourself.  But if you use them, some will find out about it, and in any case, if you could discover them, then there is a finite probability (growing in time) that others will find it too.

Even better: science works best when it is in the open and communicated publicly.  Every "totally secret science project" has had problems of not sufficient peer review, and going off the cliffs.  The bigger the community, the more open the communication, and the larger the network, the better it works.

So no, there are no scientific discoveries that will be kept secret for a very long time.  First of all because it is very hard to do secret scientific discoveries without a large network of peers guiding and helping ; and second, because if you can do it, someone else can do it too.

Is there any manual to read on how to build a nuclear bomb? I don't think so. And I'm not referring to "retarded technologies", I was talking about technologies, which could be useful, but there are others (less efficient) that could earn more money.

You can be controlled.  The question is whether you have the possibility to free yourself from it, or not.  That's freedom.  But of course, trying to control others is not only freedom, it is the fundamental nature of human beings.  So it is normal that it is attempted.  The question is simply whether in principle you can have the means to resist or not.

Do you think that you have such possibility? There are literally thousands of ways to control people. Mass media, social media, Internet, monopoly, laws etc. etc... You can turn off your TV, but you'll be vulnerable to your ISP.

Do you know on what I am often frustrated at? I am living in a small and poor country called Bulgaria. The "big guys" reaped off our economy and now everyone in here is under some form control. My point is that richer countries have more choices. It's like a pyramid. You start with the little economies and end up at the top were the guys with the money are. Want to know one of my favorite examples? Luxembourg! How the hell a country with less than 600k in population has $3.6 trillion in external debts?!

Anyway, this has nothing to do with Bitcoin and altcoins.
