The price of XRP has been pretty stable for 2 or 3 months but has now dropped to levels not seen since 11/14.  Could this be Ripple selling XRP to pay their government fine?

LOL.  Wow if true...  That's like a corrupt third world country would do.  Tax its own people higher to pay for its debts (money that went in their own pockets).

Now 50 different people need to come forward claiming to be sotashi and say prove me wrong.  That'll throw a wrench in things.


"I am Satoshi!"
"I am Satoshi!"
"I am Satoshi!"
"I am Satoshi!"
"I am Satoshi!"
"I am Satoshi!"

This is why crypto is a joke. Idiots like op make all of us look retarded.

Pretty much.  Undecided

It's not even the OP.  It's this whole 'industry'...  It's like penny stocks and pink sheets.  It's where the scams are.

Not my favorite, but wow.  It's nice that you're doing this.  But why Peercoin?  What future does it have?  Do the devs still have future plans for it?  

The chart shows that it's starting to trend up which is nice to see for an old school coin.

14089  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New York Times identifies Nick Szabo as Satoshi Nakamoto on: May 16, 2015, 11:26:32 AM
As soon as the media get hold of Szabo...  Satoshi will post a signed message, "I am not Nick." 

OR (most likely) he wont do anything and let them think that Nick is him.
That way nobody will bother with him again  Wink

So that means he's Dorian? Wink

That is a very strong possibility  Wink
You never know.
He might as well be Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto  Wink

Yes.  So when the reporters ask "Did you invent Bitcoin?", he'd say "Satoshi's my middle name, bitch." Grin

14091  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: May 16, 2015, 10:35:06 AM
Since it's in altcoin, the title should say "We are the new elite... bagholder's edition"

14094  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Satoshi Nakamoto" is an anagram for a secret NSA op on: May 16, 2015, 07:56:31 AM
Please stop these useless conspiracy theories. It does not matter if Satoshi was just a regular man, CIA or NSA agent.
Bitcoin is open source; Bitcoin works and currently has no flaws. It does not matter who created it.
End of story.

And the predictable cover-up attempts begin! Just more proof that I'm onto something they don't want people to know about.

LOL. Nice
14095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Rate of new alt coins slowing down on: May 16, 2015, 07:54:35 AM
Probably because there's no new wave of would be bagholders coming in... So what's the point?

Like Storj?  http://storj.io

That looks quite smart, very well put together. How does it look from a distribution standpoint, it seems to also be investor based but investment can often ruin a project if not done right.

No idea about the distribution.  But they had a Storj presale...  That usually isn't good distribution-wise.  I hope they do well though.

SendChat Crowdfunding Campaign Goes Live on BlockTrust

Social messaging applications are playing an ever-increasing role in our daily lives, as we want to be in contact with the rest of the world at any given time. Most everyday consumers have a few different messaging apps on their devices. This growing prevalence of social messaging could be beneficial for Bitcoin adoption. SendChat wants to capitalize on this potential, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign to make its app available for both iOS and Android users.

14098  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Decentralized Currency Issuers May Still Require License on: May 16, 2015, 06:33:35 AM
But what about POW coins.. There was no issuer, the coines were mined.

A miner of a cryptographic currency, upon transferring ownership of the "mined" currency, would, presumably, be considered (at least, under the law being discussed) a "distributor" of the currency.

There has to be a legal loophole there.
14099  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Decentralized Currency Issuers May Still Require License on: May 16, 2015, 04:08:14 AM
This is not fun stuff but hard to ignore.

For who's interested about regulation proposals in the US: this article is a bit dated (Feb 2015) but probably still relevant:

"Decentralized Currency Issuers May Still Require License - The first draft of the BitLicense stated that, “controlling, administering, or issuing a Virtual Currency” qualifies as Virtual Currency Business Activity subject to licensing. This remains unchanged in the new draft, and that’s unfortunate."
https://coincenter.org/2015/02/our-initial-thoughts-on-new-yorks-revised-bitlicense-proposal/

I'm not sure how things are going in Europe but I would guess regulation proposals will be fairly similar. From reading multiple articles it sounds like the biggest requirement to get legal will be "KYC" or Know Your Customer.

It's not a matter of "if", but "when" and if we can come up with a system that satisfies some of those requirements we can have a chance to play, otherwise it looks like much of the innovations will be pushed underground.

EDIT: here's the full text of the first New York proposed regulations: http://www.dfs.ny.gov/about/press2014/pr1407171-vc.pdf

Any thoughts?


But what about POW coins.. There was no issuer, the coines were mined.
