I've been reading for a while here now and have seen NEM been warned alot for. I'm new to crypocurrency and interested to invest in NEM but i just can't forget all the warnings that i read here about that it's runned by scammers and that buyers will lose their money etc.

What do you guys think about this and to invest in it?

Is it wise to invest in NEM?
Will it be here for the long run?
Maybe warnings, if yes pls arguments.

Looking forward to your thoughts about NEM.


I encourage you to buy a lot of XEM.  Hold it for a while, and then come back here.

OP...  When will you realize that this is a joke of an industry (if you can call it that)...?  It's all about trading well and growing your BTC bankroll.

Let me ask you...  What coins do you think should have some sort of "value" right now?

FUD FUD FUD

satoshi was happy with what 33mb blocks? and that was at the start?

Unfortunately if you are going to take the word of Satoshi as your Gospel there's other ramifications that you will need to face.

The original client managed to avoid a number of common vulnerabilities but it is by no measure perfection, and treating the often arbitrary decisions Satoshi made as having more foresight than the current contributors would be incredibly unwise. It was several orders of magnitude slower than today, had an integer overflow bug which allowed people to make infinite amounts of currency out of thin air, anybody could spend any other persons coins due to a scripting bug, any script could crash the whole network using OP_CAT, and the supposed 21 million coin limit didn't even exist until last year due to an implementation flaw. Some of the original fundamentals like a decentralized marketplace, raw multisignature, send to IP and sequence numbers have been removed due to them either being dangerous or useless.

If you really believe in the original implicit limit (32MB was likely never intended, just a side effect of a message size limit), perhaps you should put your money where your mouth is and try to use wxBitcoin to store and manage your currency. If Satoshi really has the amount of foresight into the future and scalability of Bitcoin then you should have absolutely no problem using the immaculate first release along with the rest of its unintended "features". wxBitcoin 0.3.x should still function with a few changes to the BerkeleyDB configuration, and the original IRC servers are still operational on lfnet.

All this to say, Satoshi designed an original and interesting system, but it would be outrageous to claim that he has perfect vision into how the system might scale in the future. As it stands Bitcoin Core is groaning under the weight of its current utilization, it would be foolish to assume that blindly adding 32 times the load would be without significant implications. Perhaps you should be asking the current core developers why they changed the currency issuing schedule in BIP42, maybe it really was His wisdom shining through after all.

Amazingly well said! Satoshi isn't even the original architect of the PoW security system Bitcoin uses. If you really want to know the opinion of a member of Bitcoin's original design team ask Adam Back. He's been working on the concept since 1997 and doesn't appear to be running away like Satoshi did.

Great first post. Who are you?

Probably an old time Bitcoiner who doesn't want to be exposed.

It isn't even about that.  It's about Gavin Andresen's other possible ulterior motives behind Gavincoin.

please explain

If Gavincoin succeeds, so meaning Gavin and Hearn know the majority would follow them...  Then who knows what they have under their sleeves.  Increase the cap on total coins?  A bit farfetched for me...  but not impossible.  But I'm thinking more on the degree of control they'd have going forward.

FUD or not.  There might be ulterior motives behind this move.  Until Gavincoin becomes the main chain, let's call it as such.

After watching this vid, I realized that there might be more ulterior motives behind XT than a 20mb block.  You can watch the vid in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102070.0

Hopefully.. Gavincoin will never be Bitcoin.

Then let's officially call XT as Gavincoin just to get it's official altcoin tag out there. GVC.

13895  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Matonis: If Bitcoin XT Succeeds You Can Kiss 21 Million Cap Goodbye on: June 28, 2015, 01:05:24 AM
Then I guess there are more ulterior motives behind XT than a 20mb block.

Clearinghouse's (Viacoin blockchain) notary system...?  Not sure tho.  I never bothered trying it.  But you can try it thru Clearwallet https://clearwallet.co

13900  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Use cases. What do you actually use Bitcoin for? on: June 27, 2015, 02:04:39 PM
Do you use Bitcoin at least once a month? What do you actually use it for? Why? Is it better, cheaper, faster, more convenient than alternatives? Is it the only option?

If those 120.000+ daily transactions are actually real, there must be thousands of Bitcoin users active every day. What are we actually using Bitcoin for? Are we just true believers or are there real reasons to use Bitcoin instead of other available options?


I figure it's about time that we have a clearer picture of actual Bitcoin use cases. Sure, in a year or two the picture will probably change completely, but it's useful info right now for anyone interested in growing our community.

Please answer in as much detail as possible!

Buying weed at the original Silkroad.  But I am scared of doing that at other sites...  Don't know where to buy online that's safe.
