santacoin?? what about nuggets  That would be pretty ridiculous You think that's crazy, the same nutjob who came up with both of those was actually full-serious about launching CatholicCoin. thank God he had the sense to run some polls and actually took some sound advice from the many here who were puking on their screens. |

Exactly. Give them a normal banking app or an exchange, they don't actually want their money on their own drive at home where they are responsible for backing it up and keeping burglars away from it and not browsing suspicious sites and not installing trojans and worms and all that geeky crap.
Just get massive insurance on an exchange and have them use the exchange as online wallet, with all their deposits insured.
Also the whole blockchain expense can also go, it too is not needed, just offer them hundreds of limited edition "financial instruments" they can jump on like tulip bulbs when they see how other people jumping on them drives them up in price due to that clever limited edition feature, and bob's your uncle, no miners needed, that saves the victims uh I mean users vast sums right there, miners are an expense that is utterly not needed.
-MarkM-
Absolutley agree, Mark, but I think by next year, once Bitcoin gets its ETF that the really big banking, wallstreet money will come in and you'll see high end apps with secure wallets for all kinds of coins. Once the big devs are convinced Bitcoin is no longer a fad they'll start making serious apps so there's gonna be one push miners for your iPhone and built-in secure wallets on your Android or iPhone NFC phone. So by then there won't be a need to keep your wallets in an exchange although that will be a viable options for some. hence the $5 Million invested by a huge San Fran VC in CoinBase, that's one secure exchange, and it has an awesome and very secure APP, but it's still a hassle compared to having it on your NFC phone. |

I'm no coder and I probably have no idea what I'm doing (is this C?), but there's my proposed fix. I cannot promise if it's at all right, but I'd love 0.2BTC!! 14qkEkmoWQbgF4EMB6F5m8p3LU1D8UK32D Much obliged. I believe that still allows superblocks to be created in the first 250 blocks. I'm a noob, but I would do something like this. int64 static GetBlockValue(int nHeight, int64 nFees, uint256 prevHash) { int64 nSubsidy = 0 * COIN; if(nHeight == 1) nSubsidy = 1100000 * COIN; //.5% Public Wallet Premine else if(nHeight == 2) nSubsidy = 1100000 * COIN; //.5% Coin Owner Premine else if(nHeight < 250) nSubsidy = 0 * COIN; //No Coins awarded for the first 250 blocks (fair launch) else if(nHeight > 250) { nSubsidy = 49 * COIN; //Standard 49 Coin Reward std::string cseed_str = prevHash.ToString().substr(8,7); const char* cseed = cseed_str.c_str(); long seed = hex2long(cseed); int rand = generateMTRandom(seed, 100000); if(rand > 50000 && rand < 50011) nSubsidy = 10045 * COIN; //The VGB Protocol Random 250x Block Award } if(nHeight > 14726880) // no block reward after 7 years nSubsidy = 0; return nSubsidy + nFees; } If a programmer can confirm this is a VGB fix the .2 BTC IS yours, bro. |

Vlad, you need to calm the heck down, buddy.
My rig is pointed to your coin right now, as are several others, I'm sure.
r3wt is trying to help you, but you keep going off on people here.
Next time you read a post that upsets you, just smile and remind yourself of all of the things in life that make you happy, and then either respond in a positive manner or just ignore it. You seem super stressed about this coin.
Thanks for the friendly advice, "The Dude". See, if people talked like you I would be really cool about all this. Now I promised R3 I'd bail so I will. But this thread stays open. What we have here is growing pains combined with a few assholes and one neurotic easily stressed bigger asshole and that's no reason to close a thread and open one for Mr. Rogers. Lets just start the next page with a different attitude and to see if the problem is me I'll step away and if r3 needs me for some thing he's got my cellphone number. As for the bounties, since I've been here I've seen real programmers take on serious tasks for lame 200,000 devcoins. It was peanuts so naturally I thought .2 BTC was a good amount. And if I pay to help get a pool off the ground of course i want half. I gave away my 2.2 million coins to r3 to use to bounties how exactly am I suppose to make money off a coin I paid to launch. It's this kind of BS that pisses me off. Anyway, enjoy the thread without me and lets see if it goes any better. Later: the Dude! |

Why is everyone calling it a protocol? Is there something I missed that is worthy of being called a protocol?
Try looking up protocol in the dictionary then ask again. Edit: I'll help you: Protocol: a procedure or a code for a procedure. The golden blocks are both. Vlad as your partner, i remove speaking duties from you at this time. lock this thread and i'll start a new one and i'll handle it. you're digging us deeper man. You were nowhere to be seen. I had to do something. IGot spots does nothing but bitch. I put up 2 nice bounties and nothing but bitching. If you had been here handling things I would have loved to stay out of it. You think I like to throw money a away at a coin I already paid once to be programmed right? Fine, I'll step off and I'll give you the bounties to start a pool for us and to fix the VGB error. But I'm not closing this thread. It's got a nice count. And I'm not gonna get booted off someone else's thread just for speaking my mind. Besides people need to see how far this coin has come and how tough it it was if it does make it. But if you're here I have no problem ignoring with that mindless idiot iGot Spots. He's single handedly agitating everyone. Can't you see that? I'm out. Good luck. I'll PM you my cellphone number, r3, if you do need anything from me. |

I was going to mention. Since you are a programmer, why isn't he asking you to help him create the pool instead of paying $20 to have someone create a pool for him, then give him half the pool fees. LOL Because he's is nowhere to be seen. |

If it indeed survived the night (looks like it did). Vlad and team, the first thing you should be developing is a Mining Pool. Gets more people onboard to mine easier, and you can actually take a 1% cut, and people won't be offended.
Also, I don't know if it's to late to change the coin to a PoS coin?? Or make some major changes to it. But I don't understand why this is to be considered a longterm coin when it's designed to suicide in 7 years. I don't know if alot of people will put time/money into a coin knowing they have to be out of it within 6 years, or risk losing everything. PoS could save it. And you could market it as an eCoin (environmentally friendly coin) since power to maintain the coin will drop to almost nothing once the coin goes into PoS mode.
Per the programmer can't do a PoS coin as the VGB protocol won't work with PoS. I'll throw in another .2 BTC for anyone who helps me start a pool. this pool would have to me half mine since i'm paying for it. And half to whoever starts it, of course. And of course .2BTC for anyone who fixes the bugs and gets VGB To work right. And maybe you can skew the random reward in favor of the smaller miners if that's possible. Don't make it ridiculous just like a 30% margin of favor. It's gonna be a great coin when you have 20 people that have like 10 mHash total put together mining your coin since you keep trying to discriminate those of us keeping this abomination alive It's so bad lol it doesn't even have a working "protocol" which was the main difference and selling point of this piece of shit. VGB will change the way mining is done...oh wait, it doesn't do anything
B). I PAID for the inclusion of VGB so obviously the programmer made an error.
C). Even though its not may fault I just put up a pretty hefty fee (bounty), one which is big enough to launch a new coin to fix the problem.
D) But like usual, you ignore such things so you can keep shitting yourself.
C) And you think a 30% margin of favor for the small guy is gonna leave you in the poor house with your $40,000 rig? On top of being a nag you're a bit greedy and selfish as well.
You know you don't have to be the way you are. It's called character flaws and they can be changed with jut a bit of effort. |

BTW you have some stiff competition, as there were about 4-5 coins with PoW and PoS and superblocks (much like your VGB protocol, which has already been around for quite some time.)
Well for the record NUG doesn't have VGB I pointed this out yesterday but Vlad didn't even read it (or understand it). I paid to have it programmed with VGB and I looked for a second programmer but got no responses so I just assumed it was done right. Can anybody here fix it and ill pay you .2 BTC? C4n10 will actually launch a coin for half that. .2 BTC for anyone that works these bugs out and gets VGB to work right. That's all I can do since I can't program. |

Last price:$100.00000 Go baby !  Am vazut, foarte nice. Bitcoins care iam avut am cumparat 120,000 de ixCoin cu ei. Te ar lua cam 10 Ani sa min atatea ixCoin. Ce furt. Lumea nu-si da seama ce valoare o sa aiba ixCoin. Sper sa Mai cumpar inca 150,000. As vrea sa am cel Putin 1% din 21,000,000. Mi-am lansat coin-ul meu azi. Ce mizerie, atatia prosti pe net. Am vrut sa le fac un favor, sa le dau un coin in favoarea lor dar sunt pre ingramaditi sa-si dea seama. Am bagat 12 blocks de aur pe zi cu valoarea de 205 blocuri cu 10,000 de coin total. Ca 12 loterii pe zi, in fiecare zi si nici nu-si dau seama ce frumos o sa fie sa minez un coin chiar si pe laptop un Astfel de coin. Sper pana maine o sa vada diferenta intre coin-ul asta si restul de rahati de coins. Se cheama Nuggets (NUGs). Un nume de mineri, coin Pentru mineri am vrut. Dar au facut scandal cand am vrut sa premine chiar numai .5% din coins. Ce oameni prosti - nu poti sa faci un ban cinstit. Fac munch, platesc Pentru un programmer ca eu nu stiu sa programez si pe urma ei nu vor sa te vada sa faci un singur leu. In orice caz, Im pare bine ca bitcoin a revenit - ca ma ajutat sa-mi iau destule ixCoin. Multa Baftà! |

I'm gong to bed. Lets see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully less drama. Ha!
Thanks r3.
The voice of reason!
Today It earned you 50%, now let's see if we can take over every coin on the market with a bit of creativity and a lot of generosity and honesty.

Here is the page you need to fix up, the one most people have been talking about. I know it gets quite confusing when you have multiple launch posts up. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255936.0Take care. Hopefully the coin is still standing tomorrow. Fixed it. Thanks. |

I take mec  how much you want, i'll buy them on the off chance that either A) i take over the coin and it becomes a successful, solid coin. B) vladvlad apologizes, grows a thick skin and repairs his public image allowing the coin to have a future. You can have half this coin for free cause you, like shake, are a decent man. For your sake so you can have success with this coin I will apologize to everyone. Even I got spots. But you pay me nothing for the 50%. It's a gift but we are equal partners. If not then ill hire a programmer and give him half and I'll go from there. well, yes i accept your role as partner, but you have to promise me that you will learn to handle yourself in a professional manner on here. Alot of these people here are decent men, trust me. they seem like a-holes, but they just are trying to get you to see how irrational you are being. you have to earn respect around here. when i released my coin it was page after page of insult. i paid it no mind, i answered questions, offered a promise of transparency and proved it over time that i was a man of my word. now less than 2 weeks since release, it has a community of users, 3 stores in the works and is trading on cryptsy at quite a respectable price. I promise you, a little bit of humility will go along way around here. it doesn't matter if you can't code, as long as you prove to be non shady you will go far. One last thing, work everything out with shake in the morning and contact me with your decision. I have to get some sleep now. Work what out with shake, I already paid him and the coding is done. I've been nothing but honest and transperant. No shady business here. Ask shake, he talked me into putting the 1% back in and it was a good ideas so I did it. I did nothing questionable or shady. If one thing, peopl can trust me. I'm going to bed too but I don't know what shake has to do with this deal between me and you. He did his part and he did a good job. I wish I could have found a second programmer cause I had more features and ideas in mind i wanted in the coin. We'll talk tomorrow and thanks for friendly advice. I'm used to working in banking where people act human. It's like rabid wolves here. I tried my best to deliver the best coin and I got attained for it. Talk to you tomorrow. Take care and good luck. What i meant by working it out with Shake is, he has your premine and didn't know what to do with it. he asked me if you ended up quitting the project if i wanted to take over since he already has some number of coins he manages for various people. he already did a mini giveaway to try to spread the word a bit about your coin, so people know its out there. we'll get to work tomorrow and we can lay out a plan. if you have skype you will need to add me so we can communicate privately and come together with a plan for alotment of bounties, a plan for making checkpoints/updates, and an overall list of goals for the coin. we can work with what you've got here, trust me. your diff retarget is good and we can make this coin pretty stable compared to most. I trust you - Tell shake to give you all my premine .5%, some 2 million coins. You use it for bounties and whatever you think is needed to make this coin a better coin. |

B) vladvlad apologizes, grows a thick skin and repairs his public image allowing the coin to have a future. And r3, This coin is nothing. Check with shake, the other stuff I wanted but he couldn't do. This coin could have been way better. If you can really program we can make this coin kick serious ass. And like I said, I will freely gift you 50% and I will help with ideas and funding. Afterall, it was my ideas with numbers that makes this coin behave the way it does and that's a sweet thing cause there's billion of possibilities yet I hit it on the first try cause numbers is my thing. if shake can't do it, i probably can't either but trust me, you have a good base here. all we need to do is lower the coin cap and run 4 giveaways(1 here, 1 at altcointalk, 1 at cryptocointalk, and 1 in the cryptsy troll box). the development fund(the reserved portion of the premine for bounties and such will be discussed. once an agreement is reached, we will find trusted members to hold the coins, thus decentralizing it and minimizing the risk to miners. as long as you are a man of your word, all this will be fine. I am a man of my word. We will do all that you say and I will even give away my personal .5%. I will not lower the hard cap which is around 440,000,000 coins c. Sorry, but that plays a key role in all the other numbers. I didn't pick that number out of a hat, it was the result of the same math that makes this coin so stable. That's not negotiable. You have to be reasonable too and understand I did these things with a scope and purpose other than money. I give you all you want, I'll give in on everything but I will not let anyone mess with the number structure because it will negatively affect everything else. 440 million is not too much. Just trust me in that I ran plenty of potential scenarios and it's fine. Build a solid coin and that number means nothing. And besides, you mess with that number and you'll mess with the golden blocks and that's the only advantage here. |

Your apology is accepted for me anyways. I will re-consider mining your coin. Lol, that second line kind of slipped a little. But you finished it off nicely. Now hopefully you can put on a business face, and hopefully we won't be back to looking for an apology again tomorrow  . Thanks. I checked and in the original post here on page 1 I state clearly I will even give my .5% to too causes like bounties. So since I launched this coin it has all been exactly honest. The other treads before I launched the coin, that was still in the brainstorming phase and there was no consesus. Some said premine was good some said it was bad. That's why I kept gong back and forth. It's all clear now. The whole 1% will go to bounties even my personal .5%. And now r3, is a full 50% partner, free of charge so you can trust him since he has seniority. |

Sounds good. 1 thing to rebuild your image. Fix your Nugget announcement. I told you that before, you acknowledged it, but then ignored it.
Your announcement states there is 0 premine. then down about 6-8 posts you mention the 1%. Now not many are really going to flip about that, but you have to edit the top post, which is the actual announcement to reflect this. That is why people said you were burying it. After that stop bringing it up. You know how people feel about it, you will never swing them in your favor. The Original Post must constantly be updated, as info changes, as it's your main window to the world. Your sales sheet so to speak. Also clean it up of all unnecessary drivel. Don't keep harping you wanted SHA256. If you really wanted it, then you shouldn't have had a poll. It's not a poll if you can't accept the results. And remove things like it has PoS, when you claimed afterwards that it no longer does.
BTW you have some stiff competition, as there were about 4-5 coins with PoW and PoS and superblocks (much like your VGB protocol, which has already been around for quite some time.)
Ok. I'll fix that now. The whole 1% will be given to bounties. |

So here's my sincere apology to everyone:
I tied so hard to make a miner coin and in return I only got attacked for it. I wasn't even allowed to have 1% for bounties and a small % of profit. That's cold blooded snd selfish.
But I shook that off. Then when I was attacked, but really by only a few guys on here whom I'm convinced have ulterior motives I just couldn't take it take it anymore.
When I said fine no premine, not even 1%. It was the programmer who said that was stupid so I took his Andvice which was good advice as you need coins to get work done.
But them to was the same guys who kept attacking me as if all these long hours and laying apgrsmmer deserved not a single coin as pay and no coins to help pay out bounties. Like I said, these guys wanted this con to fail for their own motives.
So I blew up. I'm man enough to apolgise when my actions are unbecoming. So here it is: I'm sorry.
Good luck to everyone.
Now, I've been online all day long, I'm going to bed. If this coin survives by tomorrow we'll take it from there.
R3, if you're interested then the 50% is free, but I'm not under you and you're not my subordinate - we are equals. If that's not appealing to you then that's fine but this coin is not for sale - it means too much to me.
Good luck and take care. God Bless!
