You know I'm becoming convinced that these markets are manipulated. Why would a loser project like "pot coin" rise so hard and crash so fast like that? Nobody should have ever even heard of it. People were talking about FOMO on "pot coin". FOMO ON "POT COIN". What!?

I know this is probably not news to anyone but im naturally extremely skeptical of everything. So I wasnt convinced till now. But closely watching the rise and fall of "pot" has convinced me. I just cant comprehend an organic growth driven process for what that "pot coin" chart looks like. So I really think some group of people pushes these things up in large conspiratorial calculated moves.

If this is the case they probably did it to our baby monero too. They used and abused her. Most of the buyers almost certainly had no understanding of the potential like we do. And I mean the market leaders not just the whale chasing FOMO zombies. That's not at all why they were buying.

But hey they say no press is bad press. So we will probably settle at a higher level than we started thanks to this "pump" and we still have the organic adoption to look forward to.

The craziest thing. The AVERAGE contribution is 800 usd . That's insane.

Korvi development funding 92% now

I actually did an interview with my face in it before. So ever since then I have considered my corporeal identity sufficiently compromised as to not care any more. If someone wants to figure it out they can. Don't know why they would though.

Whats your favorite brand of dates?

My wife picked that day because she knows I'm a big doofus who can't keep up with anything. Wondering if yours had a similar motivation.

Ok. I purchased one full day of anonimal labor just now.

No. It wasn't a riddle. I'm not his wife. It's just a crazy weird coincidence.

Fluffypony and I both got married on the exact same day (of the exact same year) . What are the chances?

what happens to my donation if the project fails to get funded?

Oh god. I hope this isn't one of those projects. Like shadowcash.

Please tell us more about your post. I want to see it get put up again and see for myself if it comes down.

India china, potayto-potahto.

Yea maybe. Some people are worth more than others though. My wife works in food service and shes just so competent her employer pays her twice as much as her peers. Idk whether he is or isn't worth twice as much as some random chinese contractor but he might be.

Hes asking for 34 dollars an hour right? I don't know how experienced and effective of a software developer he is, but if he is experienced and effective that sounds around about a market wage for that line of work.

Interesting. I dont think the fundamentals ever changed really. Before the great rise the price was way too low and I feel like it corrected way too much after. I'm optimistic about what looks like, might be, a shifting of sentiment.

A price floor or a trend reversal. Duh.

I feel like you are setting up to make some sort of "point" and I'm walking into your trap

The pain was getting too painful. I had to step away for a while. Wasn't expecting to see this when I came back. Dare I cautious optimism?

Is ransomware really that bad? I mean its better to have to pay some dude a few thousand dollars than to have your major competitor silently monitoring your network activity for years, or silently scooping up confidential customer information, or nickel and dimeing for years office space style. The extortionist is discovering your vulnerabilities for you so that you can patch them (if that be through social engineering it makes no difference). Firms hire pen testers and pay them up front. How different is this really except you pay the pen tester on the back end?

I actually sold bitcoin to an institution that had its database encrypted with ransom ware. The hacker only wanted like 600 bucks. For a big institution. It was really a pretty reasonable fee for uncovering a vulnerability.

I know, I know. It's basically the business model of governments. Provide service without asking if anyone even wants the service then unilaterally decide the price afterwards. Im not justifying it. Its not a good thing. It's still wrong. I just wanted to point out that they are actually providing a useful service.

Damn. That's quite the resume. Predictions moving forward? Are we building a floor here around 0.01?

Haha! I remember proudhon. Haven't thought about that guy in a long time. Oman he got owned so hard. Makes me smile to think about.

Aww. How seriously you take such tiny numbers is adorable! I don't mean that to be mean. I'm serious. Made me smile.
