I think this Hamster has escaped and it's on the run. Armed with fireworks. Possible dangerous.
14382  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SexCoin Ideas on: January 06, 2014, 03:46:20 PM

It's true that there is little absolute need for an alt coin in this situation (as in most situations). However, the adult entertainment industry is known to appreciate novelty. SexCoin provides this, if nothing else. It integrates well into the fantasy; fantasy is wrapped into every aspect of adult entertainment.

Why can't Bitcoin be a novelty? Bitcoin can be sexcoin and drugscoin and whatever else you want it to be.

Bitcoin is far too slow, a transfer can take an hour or three. I really think it reigns at the top due to name recognition and hype alone, not usability. Litecoin is far more practical. When I need to transfer bitcoins between one exchange and another, I always first convert to litecoin - 3 - 5 minute wait instead of a few hours.

But to address novelty - Bitcoin cannot provide the same level novelty for the same reason that a sex toy may be called "The John Holmes" rather than "The John Doe". Most people do not want to buy the John Doe. Also, as Bitcoins become more normalized, people will come to realize it as actual money spent. Take for example a casino. One of the reasons they have you convert your money into tokens before you gamble is that people will spend tokens more freely than cash, even though it has the same value.



Did you wonder at least a minute why your transactions via BTC took 3 hours and with LTC 5 minutes?
The block time is different by a magnitude of minutes not hours.

Pay a decent fee and your transaction will be processed in minutes via BTC.
Also I would love to see how long it will take for any crytos to verify transactions once they have the same amount of daily transactions as the BTC network.

Massively multiplayer online role-playing game market is a huge market Western consumer spending on subscription MMOGs grew to $1.4 billion. World of Warcraft, a popular MMORPG, has more than 8 million subscribers as of 2013. exile coin can and will be used in the virtual World of W-O-W as a virtual currency,  If TRON had a currency it would be Exilecoin, as well as real world applications of exilecoin are limitless, people are paying real Euros for buddy products the buddy forum is already bigger than all the top alt coins combined except LTC.  this is a huge market once people get that part about it, exilecoin will be invaluable and very hard to get. these German @ Bossland guys are smart, this is a huge strategy under the radar with huge potential pay offs in the future. Let's face it 8 million subscribers to W-O-W, tens of thousands of buddy bot users worldwide,  official crypto is exile coin. and for others it is very hard to replicate a similar coin with the same qualities, because there is only one buddy forum.


Why should we use gascoin for paying gas and icecoin buy buying ice , but icecreamcoin for buying icecream.

It has already been proven as a total failure to label a coin for specific products.
Ex. sexcoin , one sexshop accepting sexcoin (and btc) , another 2 accepting btc and not sexcoin, and an escort service accepting btc only.
Why should warcraft gamers deal in exilecoin and not btc ?
It's better for them to start their own crypto , and we'll have diablocoin , wowcoin, etc. ?
 
14387  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SexCoin Ideas on: December 31, 2013, 02:07:02 PM
Because 1 bitcoin is 750$ and going up. It's much easier to tip in coins that are closer to 1$.
Girl performs for you and you tip her 0.01 bitcoin? Cmon, how that sounds?  Cheesy

I'd rather have 0.1$ than a million Zimbabwean dollars. (zwr).
Besides mBTC solves that problem.
14388  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to calculate the number of coins in circulation on: December 30, 2013, 05:37:45 PM
I think you can get a lot of coin names by filtering all the [ANN] and [Pre-ANN] thread titles on this sub-forum and extracting the *coin string.

He doesn't need the names or the types of coins around , but the numbers of already mined amount of each coin btc , ltc or etc.
You can get that data from each coins blockexplorer , or parse coinmarketcap and trust their numbers.

Oh really!
And about the exchange volume , it has been already discussed and proven how it was manipulated.


Dear god. You snipped 1 sentence and still fucked it up. Mining volume, you fucking idiot. I am now policing this thread just to assemble a list of users with which I vow never to do business. Trading with idiots always costs more than you expect in the end, either in time or some other fuckup.

No my dear idiot , I doubt anyone can do business with somebody with your temper.

Can you come with profs that 75% of the mining activity is in China?
That's the word the op used , that's the word I don't like next to that value.
Volume , length, value diameter .
But , I don't expect you to come up with this since I wasn't quoting you on that.

Also , you fail to notice than when people say "and about " , they refer to another part of the discussion.
And I referred here to the faked , and proven faked volume of Chinese exchangers.

So , my conclusion , China matters as much as Bulgaria in the bitcoin system.
Come with numbers to contradict me.
And not with the reported volume of 22k BTC of an exchanger that only has 1000BTC on the order book.

I have 0 QRK now. Sold the entire stash at Dec. 14

Wish all the best to everyone, good luck

That was a mistake , but you have plenty of time friend . Early days.

How can you call that a mistake ?  If he sold all his quark for BTC on the 14 he can buy now twice the amount.
14391  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Super secure hashing | CPU mining on: December 30, 2013, 08:43:55 AM

Sorry to hear that, I guess you sold BTC when it hit $30 as well.




Sorry , but if he indeed had any quarks , if he indeed sold on the 14 , it's like he sold when BTC was 1600 Wink.
Cause the price then was 0.0003 and now 0.00014.

Also , the wisest sold when BTC reached 30$ the first time. What happened next....don't want to remember.
14392  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm chinese, I want to tell you the truth. on: December 30, 2013, 08:39:30 AM
Their are 7 exchanges that more than 2000 BTC volumn per day in China.

the volums of these 7 exchanges in the past 24 hours:
btcchina.com 2925 BTC
btctrade.com 8988 BTC
chbtc.com    17510 BTC
fxbtc.com  22336 BTC
huobi.com  64078 BTC

okcoin.com 5441 BTC
btc100.org 3110 BTC

btcchina.com is the largest one in the past, but not now.

And Btcchina is the worst exchange i have ever used, they don't reply your emails, nobody pickup the phone calls, and you have to wait at least two days to withdraw your CNY ; but with other exchanges , you can usually get your money within one day even within a few minutes.

The truth is the OP is full of bullshit , i feel ashamed that you said you are Chinese and you are telling the truth in the subject.
+1
There are 7 Exchanges , BTCChina was and now Huobi is, everyone have chance and everyone have different strategy and planning for there Business to grow. Before MtGox was in tot now Huobi is trying to come on top. China is still trading good OP please wash your mind and clean your eyes and look,
As i posted in my last post you cant speak for all Chinese People this is prove that different you and other chinese, You think BTCChina is only exchange in China and in the same place which you told house hold and family business type is now going to be Worlds Highest Traded Volume.

Check their order book.
They have 500 coins on the +/- 50% range and they are making 20000 BTC trade per day?

Yeah , on paper...
I saw through the last years the myth of the BRICS falling apart.
China with is fake numbers and currency manipulation , Russia with its' citizen running away to Europe, India with hundreds of thousands of people starving each year, Brazil who can't afford both  a world championship and normal healthcare and South Africa which in 30 years will have more people infected with HIV than healthy.

Well.... some of the facts are true. The others are not.

1. Chinese Yuan is getting stronger every day, whether it is due to currency manipulation or not.

2. Russian citizens are not running away to Europe. They were, until 4 or 5 years ago. Right now, Russia is having a positive net immigration.

3. Millions of people are starving in India. But things will change if the opposition is voted in to power in 2014.

4. Brazil is a lawless country, where you can cut down forests and massacre the indigenous tribals without any consequences. So no comments.

5. South Africa has suffered from massive brain drain and crime wave. Not going to be one of the top economies in the future.

Well , I do agree and I do not agree with some Smiley

1) You think that a manipulated currency is a good thing ? If that's ok , with you , then so be it

2) Russians are fleeing Russia , the + comes from the former soviet countries Tajikistan Uzbekistan , Kazakhstan and , that not a +

3) Maybe will change , or 99% nothing will change.

4) Agree with you but it's far worse then that. It appears their economy is a lie just like their oil fields.

5) Don't want to further comment this , I'll be labeled a racist.
14396  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2013-27-12] India cracks down on bitcoin exchange on: December 29, 2013, 02:55:37 PM
Change the title to India cracks on illegal bitcoin exchange.

Also , nobody cares about them and their 2 BTC volume.


That is negative attitude. You can't blame the Indians for the actions of its corrupt government, although they were the ones who elected it to the office.

And another thing. Although the current volumes from India is microscopic... don't forget that India is having a population of 1.3 billion and is one of the most rapidly growing economies in the world.  Cheesy

Yeah , on paper...

Face it , the bitcoin trained is fueled by the western countries.
If the Eu does the same as china and India , we can count bitcoin in cents for a few months.
14397  Economy / Speculation / Re: Breaking News: Indian Central Bank causes Largest Bitcoin Exchange Shutdown on: December 29, 2013, 01:23:44 PM
People all over the world are barely living paycheck to paycheck, living in tiny homes due to high housing cost even in western nations, food price increases have caused RECORD poverty in western nations. Its no more a case of Americans are rich, Indians and Chinese are poor. This fact is constantly ignored, everyone is having a hard time.

Higher price of food and cost of living will cause more difficulty for everyone in us and eu (not just india and china ) and lower the already low standard of living. No one will be rushing to buy 108" tvs.

You obviously don't live where I live.  Even during the height of the depression, Disneyland was absolutely FULL at $139 per person and almost $300 for an annual pass.

And on Black Friday, practically every shopping cart had a 40"+ TV in it.


Cost of living is a Global issue affecting everyone, the vast majority of working people live paycheck to paycheck (debt doesnt count). If food prices go up in Europe, people won't absorb the cost their standard of living will go down.

people going to Disney land and buying TVs is irrelevant, People in India and China are spending the same amount of time in Massive Malls and theme parks and buying electronics (iphone and androids one of the biggest markets in the world is China and India). Standard of living has gone up immensely in "developing" nations the past 2 decades a fact people don't seem to grasp. The point i'm trying to portray is Higher cost of living doesn't affect JUST developing nations like india and china anymore, western population are also strongly affected and standard of living is going down along with purchasing power.

I do not believe people in the United States or Europe can easily absorb higher food, fuel, housing costs, taxes without lowering their standard of living, that's just fantasy.


Yeah , 2x price increase in food and they will lower their standard , nothing more.
For the rest of the countries , they will starve.

"Deaths from malnutrition on a large scale have continued across India into modern times. In Maharashtra alone, for example, there were around 45,000 childhood deaths due to mild or severe malnutrition in 2009, according to the Times of India.[131] Another Times of India report in 2010 has stated that 50% of childhood deaths in India are attributable to malnutrition.[132]"

Is this happening in Europe?
14398  Economy / Speculation / Re: Indian Central Bank causes Largest Bitcoin Exchange Shutdown [Updated] on: December 29, 2013, 01:17:56 PM
It's not the amount of dollar. When I go to somewhere like Thailand or the Philippines my buying power is five times higher than back home. I mean that in the most literal sense, I can get five times as much stuff for my money in other countries than I can in my own. Those "poor" countries with "low" wages get the same percentage ROI on bitcoin as we do. It is exactly as good a deal for them as it is for us. So yes, those among them who have even a little cash to spare will buy bitcoin. And it will raise the price. How much is a different matter, but it is certain to go up over time.

Alright on the purchasing power when it comes to living expenses.
But can you buy a Mercedes five times cheaper in Thailand? Or can you buy a Bitcoin five times cheaper?
NO.
And it's far more likely than an American will buy a BTC right now at the current price than 5 Indians 1/5 of it. Smiley
Yes. And not just in Thailand, it goes for most of the rest of the world too. Real estate in my country is 4 times as expensive as in the us. Cars, 4-10 times. Denmark has absolutely ridiculous prices. Which is why our apparent high wages don't account for much. There is very little left once tax (the highest in the world) and basic expenses are paid.

The price of bitcoin doesn't matter for investment. Why is this difficult?

Thailand   Mercedes sl500  14mils baht 309,803.56
Germany   sl65 amg  237 000 euros.

It matters because even an average Romanian can save around 200 euros per month while in india most of them don't even get that much as their wage.

If somebody has 2000 euros /month wage and only can save 5% that is 100 euros.
A hindi with 200 /month has to save 50%  to get the same amount.

That's why i don't expect indians to buy more than 0.1% of the bitcoins.
14399  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can I add catchpa's to cryptocurrency? on: December 29, 2013, 11:09:18 AM
It would be easier to make a limit on the hashpower that anyone can contribute to the network rather than implementing a captcha.
This could be in theory at least be achieved with a new algorithm. I saw this idea a few times but not a step towards practice.

But again , an easier way is to get the right numbers with the coin reward per block to encourage adoption but not heavy mining.
Not 50% of them in the first blocks but not 0.001%.
14400  Other / Meta / Re: (Suggestion) New sub-forum for novelty coins on: December 29, 2013, 10:35:15 AM
Sorry, I should have used this topic instead of created my own --

I think, even though this is a bitcoin forum first, we have to recognize two things:
1) Altcoins MUST start and maintain a thread here, or they are considered shady
2) Altcoins need Bitcoin, and Bitcoin needs altcoins. Altcoins are worthless without bitcoin, and Bitcoin's growth is stunted without altcoins.

Right now the altcoin area is a complete cesspool disaster, and I feel somewhat responsible (sorry...), so I think it would be good to at least have a subforum for, say, giveaways. And maybe speculation or something like that.

Did you have a personal discussion with mister Bitcoin and he told you that?
The only argument I have ever seen about the alt is that they increase popularity of cryptos in general. But this sometimes is a double edge sword.

From being called a ponzi scheme by a few to being called a joke by half of the world , I prefer the ponzi label for cryptos.
