This is a shameless marscoin promotion?

Edit: After reading some of your post history: Yes it is a shameless promotion.

DannyElfman, is there a line between trying to engage the wider community, and self promotion of a currency by it's developer?

It may be a discussion worth having, as sometimes the intention is just to get feedback and converse, and in other cases to try secure investment or encourage people to purchase currency.

As somebody trying to do the former whilst avoiding the latter, do you have any suggestions as to how one may proceed?



You can selfpromote, no question. But you need to make it obvious. Without checking his links, would you have know it was his coin? I didn't!

Sorry I should have made that more clear. Hope my edit suits your preferences.. On another note.. this is not my coin! We kicked the dev out 2 weeks ago and as a Community took over


Now it is crystal clear! Very good!

Can someone tell me the best exchange for the trading of NXT?

bter has the most volume for nxt

Bter by far! If you need a sign up code to get 10% trade discount, write me a PM!

Right, keep on trading at and promoting Bter then pay 0.5 percent for withdrawals. It would be stupid to expect NXT community to know better. Out of all choices you people
seems to be always picking the worst ones - worst exchange, worst asset and when DGS comes up I can bet you will be buying the worst shit there. What a waste of good coin.

So, where do you trade?

Polo = no volume
Dgex = potential 3 weeks waiting for wirhtdrawal and more fees
Crypts = upto 1 week for deposits and upto 2 weeks for deposits.

Well, I love paying 0.5 % for avoiding all that. And yes, I still hate the 0.5% fee, but I don't make the rules.

Bter, the first and foremost important market for NXT, and the first exchange that traded NXT for fiat (CNY)

How long do deposits on BTER usually take?

10 confirmations + 0-30 minutes waiting time. This depends on when their server rescans the wallets.

Vegas-Syndrom

aber das ist doch so mit allen riskanten Investments:
bleibt man weiter drin oder realisiert seine Gewinne?

Ist halt die Frage warum man überhaupt mit negativen Erwartungswert solche investments macht.

Riskante investments sind für mich zB Aktien im Biotech oder Pharmaforschungs bereich. Ponzi sind kein Investment sondern Gamble. Wie Roulette.
146  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many Bitcoins needed to retire in 5-6 years? on: August 09, 2014, 09:57:12 PM
You won't be thinking about retiring on your bitcoins until you go through one of the big jumps and sell enough to live on for awhile. A good rule of thumb to planning a Bitcoin retirement: work and dollar cost average buy your bitcoins until you cant stand working anymore. You'll know it when you get there because you'll be calculating in your head what your bitcoins will be worth in a year.

Haha, I remember back in november, where I calculated how long BTC needs to keep rising until I'd never have to work again. Next bubble I guess^^
147  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many Bitcoins needed to retire in 5-6 years? on: August 09, 2014, 09:56:05 PM
Between 50 and 100 BTC should be enough.

the question is-will it be bitcoin or an alt? I say that mostly likely bitcoin (at least ~80% chance), unless it is inhibited by untimely/inappropriate regulation.
However, it tech you never know: witness Google vs Yahoo. Yahoo should have been the most prominent player because it was highly entrenched first mover, but it failed to hold its advantage (most likely because of inept management). They tried to buy Google at one point for a measly 1b. They should have bid until page/brin agreed, maybe 5bil or so. As a result of NOT buying GOOG, yahoo lost  more than 2/3 of its market cap at some point (>100 bil).

You can't compare those two. Users of Yahoo do not have that kind of network effects like they do with BTC. Network effects in currency is the most important thing basically.

You can compare it to social networks though, and yes the myspace-facebook situation was remarkable and failure to evolve could kill bitcoin too.

i dont understand how to find the block, the miner, and then contacting them assuming i acquire all this info
There is no real way to find the miner. The miner in question sent the blockreward to an "unknown" address so no one really knows which pool the block was mined on; it was probably someone who was solo mining with a lot of hashpower.

This address is very famous, as it has a big chunk of the network hash. The guesses in the forum are pretty educated and if OP does contact them and proves he is holder of the private key, there is a good chance he gets it back!
It has a small percentage of the hashrate when compared to most pools. AFAIK no one really knows the identity behind the address.

It has 6% now and had around that rate for weeks now (even months if the found links are correct)

Never resell something you don't 100% know the origins from.

A friend of mine bought Amazon gift cards at a big discount and then resold them .Just to discover that those were all bought with stolen CCs and amazon froze the accounts of all his customers. He had to refund everyone of them!

er möchte damit sagen,
das er bereits 100% erreicht und sein Investment abgezogen hat,
und es ihm nun egal ist ob die mal verschwinden

voll krass!  Cool

Das Geld das er dort hat kann er ja trotzdem verlieren. Komische logik.

Nunja, mag das ursprüngliche Investment erklären... Wink

Alright so my cat died, and my vet said he can bring it back to life. My cat has a bitcoin address, Litecoin address, and dogecoin address on it's belly. It says 100 beside the bitcoin address, and 0 beside the others. All it needs it 100 BTC sent to it and I can have my cat back. 100% working my vet never lies. He provided me the address (with 0 currently) but it is undisclosed and confidential. But I may share it with you.

Thanks.

I will not say how he died because that is too sad you will break your PC from tear-water damage.

Awwww poor cat. Do you have a bitcoin fund, where I can send those BTC to?
154  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Anonymity on: August 09, 2014, 07:59:38 PM
I'm really hoping someone comes up with a solid anon solution that can be implemented in to Bitcoin style blockchain tech at some point.

Why?

Because I'm involved with a project that is a new implementation of the latest version of Bitcoin and I'd like for it to be able to implement some level of anonymity at some point within the next year or two. The focus of the project isn't on anonymity at this point at all but personally I hope that eventually there will be solutions that won't require building everything from scratch like CryptoNote did.

Wishful thinking perhaps. Tongue

There are ways to add anonymity to bitcoin without changing the code. It won't be on source level, but with service providers. You could do something like a DAC mixer.

But even in this case don't you still have to trust the DAC's master or owner or whatever? Unless it was truly independent I guess.

The definition of DAC is that it is 100% autonomous. There are semi-smart contracts that are like those you were just thinking off.

155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would you store >100 Bitcoins? on: August 09, 2014, 07:56:27 PM
Not that I have that many (I wish!), but how would you store >100 Bitcoins? The easy answer is just to say "create 1 offline/cold wallet and put them all in". But what about risk management? IE how do you store a very large value of coins while managing risk against hackers, forgetting passwords, the obvious need for at least 1 hot wallet, portability, easy of use, house fires, EMP bomb's (lol), or if a foreigner had to flee a country while taking no assets etc etc.

I'm looking for real responses and ideas. Please keep the trolling to a minimum Tongue
I would really use paper wallets for that and close them in jars buried under the ground for sure!
BR

I hope those paper wallets are BIP38 protected! Otherwise paperwallets are pretty insecure actually!

No one can be sure that it will rise in the coming days.
There are 83,924 people waiting to get 3500, that it is 293.734 that are going to be sold in the same day... the price is going to drop when everybody goes to change it to btc.

https://www.stellar.org/stats/

300,000 is like nothing. @3$/1000 that is 900 USD Wink

Edit: Ahh, I see your math is off: 84000 * 3500 = ~295,000,000 and 900000 USD.

Use something called a trezor its worth 119 dollars to sleep at night
http://www.bitcointrezor.com/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xObssnQwVgg
IDK if something like trezor would be something I would want to keep that kind of money protected by. It is very new and it's vulnerabilities have likely not yet been discovered and exploited. Even though this would be trusting your coins with a 3rd party, I would say coinbase vault would be the way to go for me.

Using coinbase is definately more risky than using trezor.
