I've always wondered about this. If a coin had say 10 very smart devs working on it full time vs a coin with a super crypto genius working on it full time. Which coin would eventually win out if they were in competition?
For many of us whom don't really grasp crypto at any meaningful level nor the maths/coding behind it i'd just like to know if there is an answer to this or is it a crazy question?
I mean is there a level of coding that can only be understood or performed by very very few people?
Certain coins entire rep is based solely upon the coding skills of one person it seems. VB - etherium, evans - dash, CZ boolberry, dz - black (halo) etc.
I mean are there a few coders that really stand above the others and can code things that other devs can't replicate or understand.
Well, I think that coin what would be able to muster some real world services first. Actually that coin could be a third one with an average developer but with a good idea and some real demand . Perhaps the winner coin would be a shitty LTC clone with a noob dev without any invention but accepted by a grocery chain .

Well, the ladies chose death instead of those ISIS guys, so they have to go back to the barn and carry on with the goats and camels. That must be really embarrassing for them, I'm not surprised because of that they pissed off themselves :/. Someone should really go there and hang these bastards to the nearest tree.

Pretty simple and lame marketing attempt . I told you guys a couple of times, it would be beneficial to read at least something like the Marketing for dummies. BTW the "Deepwebs" is a quite diverse and unorganized mess so it's unlikely to "adopt" anything. Maybe some site owners will decide to use monero others will stick to BTC and LTC and some maybe go for DRK...DASH... or whatever name it's called this week.

Make an announcement topic and wait for people who might interested in your coin. To be honest a simple LTC clone without any fancy feature or good looking service in the background is not really competitive in these days, so I wouldn't expect too much attention. Maybe you can use it for playing and learning with your friends. Anyway, good luck with your experiment.

Ripple is a corporate system with a pretty good background so I think it could be mainstream much sooner than bitcoin. Functionally it also has the potential to be comparable to the basic functions of the current NXT version (except voting), as you can issue any kind of IOUs if you have a gateway for that stuff. This means that ripple can trade basically anything: currencies, assets, or items.

two easy ways to spot a potential scam:
1. has an ICO 2. offers some sort of cloudmining and/or other stupid stuff
1. Not all ICO coins are scam. Actually I would say at least 60% of the ICO coins are/were legit coins, of course in many cases the idea behind the coin was bad, or not viable in the long run. 2. Some of the stupid stuff wasn't entirely bad idea and again many of those devs not intended to scam anyone.

Banks and politicians . Perhaps they are not interested in bitcoin itself but very much interested in copying the technology. BTW the G7 just indicated that they want to turn up with some sort of regulation for bitcoin.

Many social media users said the projection gave unfair attention to animals while ignoring the deaths of black people at the hands of police, The Huffington Post reported.
That projection is about protecting wildlife. Police killing black people is a different topic, with a different budget, so I don't get it why they want to mix the two. Perhaps they should make their own projection about protecting endangered black people...

Great many economists and investment experts are predicted the coming stock market collapse. It's overbought and overinflated indeed, and the rest of the world economy (EU, China, Russia) is slowing down so sooner or later a correction surely going to happen. I'd say buying precious metals and bitcoin now, then cashing out during the collapse and buying stocks could be a good idea.

As the best way to not get pregnant is to not have sex, the best way to keep your privacy is to not install Windows 10.
That's maybe a too high price for avoiding pregnancy . Do you think your Android or IOS stuff is any better? Clearly not. So using Windows 10 not going to harm your (hypothetical) privacy if you do some research and reconfigure it for your privacy needs.

I'm definitely going to buy ethereum in this case. If people hear banks involved, mass adoption is possible. Regular people are so dumb that they don't trust anything with no well known authority backing or involved
Yep! That's pretty funny. The "banks involved" keyword is working fine even here. People running away from banks, they coming here, and then they start praising and trusting the banks when those bastards turning up around crypto .

We can create petition and ask top exchanges to stop listing scams without doing proper research and if scam gets listed it should provide an option to report it to proper authority (with proof offcourse) so they can investigate.
Scams go away when they have nowhere to get listed.
LOL! Thanks mate! This joke of yours made my day . Do you really seriously think that the exchanges going to refuse to take a nice profit on these coins? In addition there are some rumours about some "top exchanges" what maybe the real driving force behind some of these coins...

1. Buy up large amounts of coins from unknown devs that are likely about to be voted onto Mintpal or wherever else people are spending lots of BTC to get their coin onto an exchange.
2. Sell hard within hours after a coin hits an exchange for the first time.
3. Use your profits to buy the same coin at the lowest price possible and then sell them at the lowest price possible.
4. Repeat for as long as you can, until you are at break-even.
5. True altruists will spend extra BTC trying to lower their prices even further.
If everyone gets on board and knows how to identify the potential scamcoins right away, it will be no longer profitable for their cheesy devs and they will at least have to up their game a little bit.
Not sure if it's a really good/working idea. It can work with low volume ICO/IPO/ITO coins but surely not with the really damaging high value, high volume coins. First of all you have to buy lots of coins what the devs created from thin air (profit) and with your buy you also provided legitimacy to them (more profit). Perhaps you can make some turmoil around the launch, but if you are not a real whale, then from the ICO money probably they can easily absorb your dump... plus you will make a good opportunity for them to start bragging about the strong buy support . So, you can slow down the pump a bit but not much. If other well funded players are also involved on the other side then you do not have any chance. The only way to success if you can persuade a bunch of rich people here, but this group will inevitably suffer some losses, and I'm afraid you are not going to find too much people here who would willing to take losses for saving the ass of a couple of greedy noobs (and therefore encouraging them to take more risk next time). In the case of no or small premine coins this plan is even less viable.

You guys are thinking with your heart, and not with your brain. Trophy hunting actually benefits conservation. In most cases, trophy hunters pay $5,000 to $100,000 for a license to kill a single animal. This money, is in turn used to combat illegal poaching, there by saving the lives of millions of wild animals. If we ban trophy hunting, then it will result in even more animals getting killed.
That's more or less true, but luring an animal out of a national park and then even failing to kill it quickly with minimal suffering isn't something what should go without any reaction. And a week later the same thing happened with an other lion on the same place. (The death of these two lions could lead to the death of 6 lion cubs as well.) BTW "Zimbabwe suspended hunting around its biggest game reserve", so not everywhere and not forever just around the reservation area, for a limited time. PS.: "more or less true" because of only a fragment of that money used to go to the wildlife reservations.

Am I right when I assume this bot is basically something like a Quatloo bot derivate, but compiled into the wallet instead of using it as a standalone application? (Just because of the unlocking part is quite similar.)

I sold an altcoin for Ripple (XRP) a few days ago and decided to log into my Ripple account. Well, surprise! They have a new platform starting (Ripple Trade) that you have to identity verify and wait for days. In the meantime, I am wondering why I cannot log into my original account to access the several hundred XRP I had there. For starters, they should have notified their users via email that there was a new platform replacing the old. Duh! Their support was no help at all.. told me that I should transfer my XRP from my old account to the new. How would I do that when the old account is out of reach?? I went back and forth with them the last few days.. checked their forum and saw that others had the same issue as me. They are basically STEALING the XRP for anyone who was caught unawares. Please avoid these folks, as they are not working above board...
Good morning ! Better to wake up later than never. Actually these are about two or three month old news, and the Ripple guys sent a couple of warning emails when the FinCEN grabbed their balls back in May...

More coins = more moons and money to bob I guess corporate coins are not going to turn up on the exchanges, and the celebrity/event/whatever coins going to be more like collectibles, like Magic: The Gathering cards... maybe it's time to think about making a new pokemon exchange .

Can someone explain me what the heck is that "potential activity" or "extra potential activity", please? I wasn't aware of such thing until now. (Today I've learned something new again )
