Still waiting patiently for mintpal to fix up the error... (assume its just a error)

there was no error, if you read between all of the fairly clear lines, Alex Green is a chronic con artist who essentially orchestrated the buy of Mintpal in order to raid it, as well as plunder the financial resources of his financial backers.  Green (just one of his many aliases) did not appear to have a long term perspective, to a sincere desire to "manage" an exchange on a day to day basis, the income is too small and too slow, it is apparent that he rather go for the "oh, I'm sorry this didn't work out, let's go bankrupt and start over or I quit" route.

Mintpal was relatively new to the crypto market, it developed nicely, had it not been for the hack it probably would still be sailing along.  However once in the hands of Moolah it suddenly suffered where it had no problems.  Remember, it was supposed to be taken off line to improve and upgrade security however when it came back online it was worse, in every way.  It was literally set-up to fail.

Mintpal and Moolah was like night and day, good and bad, the contrast was so sharp it caught everyone off guard.


Thanks for the explanation, do you think we would ever get back our BTC? another goxed Sad



gox never gave back any money, not even the fiat that was scheduled to be mailed out.

nevertheless, I seriously doubt if any btc finds its way back to any investors without physical harm placed on the offenders

chronic con artist need a different stimuli to do right, arrest, jail, fines, and prison is not enough.  They need pain
and suffering.

I'm one of the new admins at EMC2, I'm here to offer your coin and community some assistance.    I will also extend this offer to a few other coins .

Just over a month ago we were at the same position you are in today, in very desperate need of help but turned away by everyone we felt could do something because they were: "working on another project at the moment".   I'm not offering magic, I'm offering a responsible plan to stable redevelopment, it's slow but reliable.

Join EMC2 as a strategic partner to combine resources in an organized fashion to get the most bang out of our limited time, money, and energy.   We simply help one another in ways that we can, one may have time but no money, or energy but no time, or money but no time or energy, the point is you figure out what you have to offer and what you need to have, then work together to improve all involved.   It's likely that your coin needs coding, management, marketing, security, and/or more CC community recognition, some of those things EMC2 could help with immediately, some others may need to come from another strategic partner.

Our resources are also limited, but right now we are ready, willing, and able to help you, let me know if you want to join us as a strategic partner.

make it so


First thing I'm recommending is a reconciliation of resources -- know what you have.  Starting with your greatest resource, human resource, do a roll call to know how many people are willing to help get this community back on its feet.

With that knowledge an election will be conducted to elect leaders.  These two steps seem simple, but for a fractured community each step takes massive amounts of energy.

At this point you should find others who you believe are also committed community members willing to take on some additional responsibilities with the coin.  The goal at this point is only a roll call to know who is in the picture.

For a coin of this size and condition, it would be great to get a core of 20 people and a leadership of 7.   You are going to need a minimum of 3 people to get started just to do a proper roll call.

Dear Einsteinium Community,

Yes we are aware that ahumanbeingx introduced a new wallet and that it appears to represent official capacity.  No, it is not authorized, no, it is not officially recognized, and no, we do not know why he would misrepresent the wallet in that way.

For clarification, the Einsteinium.org domain is not owned or controlled by the Einsteinium Foundation it is privately owned.  The Einsteinium Foundation has officially treated the domain and site with the utmost respect by recognizing it as Einsteinium's official domain, however it broke common protocol by hosting ahumanbeingx's unauthorized material.  

Although ahumanbeingx has the right to submit any wallet he wishes directly to the EMC2 community, it breaks common protocol to do so.  Furthermore, to do the release in such a way as to give the appearance of official capacity where there was none is very disturbing.

Should you choose to use the "Einsteinium wallet" put before you by ahumanbeingx it is with the full knowledge that it is unofficial, unauthorized, and delivered with misrepresented capacity.  

what is this drivel?
nobody needs official sanction from the einsteinium foundation to release their own software for the network.
crypto coin networks run solely on the distributed consensus model not by some quasi authoritarian dictatorship.

people do use and will continue to use whatever wallet software they want for whatever coin.. and it is the majority dictates which way the network will go.

with that in mind.. I really don't see the point of the above post.


You said: "nobody needs official sanction from the einsteinium foundation to release their own software for the network."
We said: "Although ahumanbeingx has the right to submit any wallet he wishes directly to the EMC2 community,"

what part of that don't you understand?

The fact is he didn't do so under his OWN heading, had he done so that would be a totally different story.  We would not have to disclaim anything.

what's wrong with the mintpal?

Mintpal got hacked about 3 months ago, the hackers stole ~8 Million Vericoin because Mintpal was staking instead of placing the coins in cold storage. 

That action crippled the exchange horribly, instead of doing something that would keep them moving forward, they decided to sell.  Unbeknownst to most they sold to Moolah.  For a couple weeks Moolah indicated that it would improve on Mintpal's security. 

At the time when Moolah initiated the "upgraded' many thought it was legit, however after many missed deadlines some got the impression their coins were lost, eventually the site came back up but was a total design disaster.  Funds exited the exchange in droves, the site managers Alex Green who also had numerous other aliases most of which started with Ryan, determined to shut down the site again for additional repair, since then it has only been open for a trickling of alt coin, no BTC, withdrawals. 

To date it is estimated that 20K BTC has been lost, however that total is rapidly climbing.

If you have EMC2 there you are strongly advised to remove it, if you have BTC there try to remove that too but don't get your hopes up.

There are a number of threads dedicated to the details

1M subs would be first.

One drives the other.


2014 has seen an uptick in subs, but a sharp decline in btc price

what type of driving were you talking about, away?
1412  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Selling Xbox Live (1 Month code) on: October 21, 2014, 11:13:51 AM
Interested, escrow ?


given the nature of the item, how exactly would that logistical happen?

once the code is in the hands of the escrow agent it is still known
by the seller, so the code is not in the control of the escrow agent.
1413  Economy / Speculation / Re: See $10,000 BTC or 1 Million Users on Bitcointalk first? on: October 20, 2014, 10:09:01 PM
Price went from $0 to over $1000 in less than 5 years…
Price going up to $10,000 seems like the more obtainable goal
Bot pumps dont count.

More realistically:

Price went from $0 to $350 in less than 5 years.

The actual value of Bitcoin right now based on demand is basically $350.  With a little speculation on top, bringing it to $390's.

$1,000 was an anomaly powered by Bots and fake trades.

-B-


I have a different twist on that.

BTC true value is about $500, however because of the media pumps it was inflated well above.  When the media attention turned neg due to all of the scams (all internal) the value retarded to where it is now.    If the btc community could make the CC industry a safer place to do business it will go back up instantly.  The scandal at Mintpal will put another dent into the program.

1414  Economy / Speculation / Re: See $10,000 BTC or 1 Million Users on Bitcointalk first? on: October 20, 2014, 10:02:27 PM
372,524 members
215 registrations per day

So at current rate we would hit 1 million members in 7.99 years

the money is real however not all of the registrations are real -- like when facebook reached a billion members - I knew people with over 50 facebook accounts.   

Now given the sale of accounts and the rental of sigs, hahahaha bitcointalk is getting lots of new signups, but because of all of the market scams and wholesales losses of money, real people are leaving the community in droves.

I would like to help you with this project, I can provide free publicity, let me know if you are interested.



Hey everybody,

I decided to start developing a new Bitcoin ATM`s. This will be similar to that of Lamassu, however, be a lot cheaper. The possibility of further credits to take with pure I keep open to me. The possibility of a 2way ATM`s is being checked.
Once the development of the prototype is completed, it is planned to achieve the financing through a crowdfunding platform.
Our goal is to build a good and cheap ATM and thus build a global network.
If anyone is interested to join me, he is therefore very welcome. Suggestions from the community are also welcome.
For more information and initial progress soon follow.
