Any source/ announcement that Coinbase will support this coin?
Would be great news.
I've picked up a couple coins and would love to invest more.
I think I missed out on making money off Ethereum and would love to make a bit of profit here.

Why was BitcoinScrypt banned?
I did a search but the original threads were deleted so there isn't much information.
Seemed to be a lot of drama and members fighting.

Yes even if it was the exact same coin, it would be better to start fresh with a new name,
unless you were able to rally some support and get enough people behind you.

You would need a lot of users who really trust what you are doing and spend time to build a community,
otherwise you are probably just better off with a re-branding.
1164  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is see the new pump is building up, $660 in 2 weeks on: September 30, 2016, 12:22:28 AM
Im definitely expecting a price of $650 by the end of the year or start of 2017.
I would be very surprised if it didn't happen,
and any of the people predicting a crash in price are either crazy or have some sort of agenda.
1165  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: September 29, 2016, 09:08:22 PM
People are dumping coins right now.
Buy orders on Poloniex are pretty low.
I'm going to stop watching the ticker for now because people are freaking out over a few dollars.
I still have long-term faith in this coin because of the privacy factor.
I actually wish I had more money to buy some coins right now lol.
1166  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ZCash: What's the point? on: September 29, 2016, 09:03:59 PM
Wait, what?
It requires 8GB of memory?
I haven't heard that.
If so that would mean it can't run on mobile devices, tablets, and many computers...
I see dozens of laptops and PCs every day that still come with 4GB of memory installed.

2014 is two years ago, so I don't know how much longer you would need to 'get things sorted out'
How much payment are you owed?

Yes would definitely love to know a site that pays in Bitcoin if anyone has some suggestions!
I'm looking at shamp.ooo and will do some searches to see if there are any complaints.
1168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Huffington post article talks about ETH XMR and SDC!(update:link fixed) on: September 29, 2016, 05:07:22 PM
"This post from The Huffington Post Contributor Platform is no longer available on our site."

Hmm very strange.
Huffington Post is usually one of the sites that has interesting news on some controversial topics.

Currently owned by AOL.
Who is currently being bought by Verizon.
Is this some Illuminati conspiracy to stop people from finding out their paper currency is worthless? Better get the tinfoil hats, boys!
1169  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ZCash: What's the point? on: September 29, 2016, 05:01:59 PM
A master key and the fact that some of the developers have done work for the Israeli government are somewhat troubling.
Also, aren't there rumors that they may have received some government funding on the project?
(Not sure if that is true but people have mentioned it before. I don't think anything was ever proven, just speculation based off the work people had done in the past.)

I need to do more research about this 'master key' and what it really does before I make up my mind I guess...
1170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: September 29, 2016, 03:03:56 PM
A long position of $50 is probably a good idea, unless you absolutely can not live without that money.
I really doubt the people saying that the price will drop to 0.007
Obviously I could be wrong, but this seems like the same kind of talk where people claim Bitcoin will drop to $250 by the start of next year.
Too many places have started to accept Monero for it to totally crash. (Hopefully)

I'll be watching the buy and sell orders the next couple of hours and we will see what happens I guess!
1171  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: September 29, 2016, 01:16:49 PM
Hmm maybe the predictions to a drop of 0.012 are right.
Kind of scary, but I'm in it for the long run, so I'm definitely holding my coins.
If it actually gets that low I might have to find a way to free up some money and buy some more Monero, because that price seems WAY too low IMO.
1172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What is the average life of a mining rig? on: September 29, 2016, 10:34:33 AM
As long as you are monitoring temperatures of your chips,
the fans and power supply should be the first thing to wear out.
If you have any points where there is bad soldering on a device that may wear out but can be repaired,
as long as you aren't letting the temperatures get so hot it damages the hardware.
1173  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Rimbit scam continues: on: September 29, 2016, 10:31:49 AM
An affiliate program is definitely an interesting way to get things moving,
but if this person has a history of doing shady business and the coin is in trouble, I would be careful for sure. 

Can anyone actually confirm getting paid like this? If payments are going out, someone will certainly make money,
although it might not be the bag holders left with the coins.
(I am not saying that this is a scam until someone shows some actual proof, however.)
1174  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who is the Founder of Bitcoin?! on: September 29, 2016, 02:08:58 AM
I think I've posted in several threads like this already,
but I would like to point out, again, that it doesn't matter who Satoshi really is.
The ideas of Bitcoin are what matters.

We need to discuss the possibilities of a new financial system,
develop new technologies for transactions and blockchain confirmations,
and realize that the ideas are what is important here!  Grin
1175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal receiving Bitcoin?! on: September 28, 2016, 11:25:53 PM
Its definitely a good sign that more and more companies are accepting Bitcoin,
but I still think that for now, Paypal would rather have a partner accept the coins, and transfer money through paypal to that company.
That way they can do business with people using Bitcoin but not be directly involved.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if Paypal acquired a company that took Bitcoin payments at some point in the future.
1176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what would happen to the alt market if poloniex bought the farm? on: September 28, 2016, 10:22:37 PM
50 trash coins would die overnight and people would need to go other places to trade Ethereum, Monero, Dash and the couple other coins that actually matter.
All the trolls would move to some other trading site with their pump and dump schemes and the world would keep turning.
The sun would rise and set just like it did the day before.
1177  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: September 28, 2016, 02:44:51 PM
What GPU and CPU? Half a coin over a week? Hmm.... could be worth it.

I have an Nvidia GTX 950 running most of the day, and I have access to a few computers.
None of them have anything special as far as processor goes, just some mid range i3 and i5 processors.
When the computers aren't in use I will have one or two of them mine coins for a couple hours.
1178  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: September 28, 2016, 08:26:43 AM
Personally I think its worth it to do a little bit of Monero mining right now.
I've mined about half a coin just using my video card and some CPU mining on a spare computer over the past week or two.
It may not be much right now, but if the price jumped up, it could be very profitable.
Imagine if Monero was worth even half of what Bitcoin was. You would be very satisfied to have mined one or two coins!  Grin
1179  Economy / Speculation / Re: If u don't buy now you will regret it for your entire life on: September 28, 2016, 08:23:18 AM
Yes right now its like everyone is waiting to see what will happen.
So most people are just holding coins.
Its good that the price has stayed stable. Obviously investors want the price to go up, but even having a stable price is better than crazy up and down for the long term price of a coin.
1180  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to start trading with a very small amount on: September 27, 2016, 10:32:32 PM
If you pay attention to big announcements, new technology coming out and services adopting a coin as a new payment method,
you can (possibly) get out in front of a coin before it hits big.
But its a lot of work, and you have to put in your research.
Diversifying your funds into a couple coins probably helps in case one of them hits it big.
(Unless you have some hot tip/ inside information)
