I should list the 5oz soon. Let me know if there is any interest in it! Smiley I'm really curious about the error of this coin. Watching and waiting for news  Here's the link where I explain the error and provide a couple pics. Basically, I started engraving the coin and it was not aligned correctly. I stopped the engraving before it did too much and tried to engrave over it several times which smudged the error so that it isn't extremely noticeable, but I did not want to sell it as a perfect coin since I did make a mistake on it. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1144949.msg12075886#msg12075886 |

This being the case, I'd recommend adding Jeff's BIP100 proposal to your poll...  ( http://gtf.org/garzik/bitcoin/BIP100-blocksizechangeproposal.pdf) So far I think this is the most sound proposal for block size increase I've seen. Allows Core to dynamically expand - and more importantly, contract - allowing pools/miners to vote for adjusting the blocksize limits based on what they see with market pressure and existing backlog, as well as their own infrastructure capacities. Pretty smart. And, free of all other baggage. Jeff has been the most reasonable of all developers if what I've read is to be believed. I hope they can all agree on a proposal before the end of the year. I think a little healthy animosity among developers is good for Bitcoin but they shouldn't set a precedent of taking their ball and going home every time an argument arises. The current situation strikes me as parents divorcing over disagreements on how to best raise the kids... |

I do not understand the point of 1MB vs. 8MB. Or should we start our own fork called NastyBitcoin with 8MB blocks?
There are many who feel the block size should be increased to 8mb that do not support XT. They don't want XT's "features" and they don't want restrictive 1mb blocks that force us to depend on 3rd party payment networks in the future. Core vs XT might as well be simplified as greed vs ego. I think BlockStream & XT are both evil and it would be a shame if either was incorporated into Bitcoin. While both teams would like you to believe it is a black and white scenario, as that gives each team hope to hijack the Bitcoin network, I think it is irresponsible to view things that way. In response to your rhetorical question, I would be disappointed by the creation of a Nastycoin through a Bitcoin fork. |

What is Nasty Mining's stance on the whole XT versus Core debate?
XT is not something I could be passionate about. The block size debate will not be solved with an altcoin. I am for increasing the block size to 8mb when it is appropriate to do so. Will it continue to mine under Core?
My desire is to continue supporting NastyPool, which I hope will be mining "under Core." Will it switch if XT reaches its 75% threshold?
I don't believe this will happen. Will moving to XT be a poll option, or is this ultimately an OgNasty decision?
I am always curious about the opinion of NastyFans. This could be a fun poll to have now. Maybe 2 polls to gauge support (Core vs XT & 1mb vs 8mb). I really don't want to bring the nastiness (no pun intended) of the overall core vs XT debate to this thread, but was wondering what the plan if any is at the moment.
My plan is to continue encouraging and participating in the Bitcoin world. I don't think the Bitcoin block size debate should be viewed as core vs XT. |

BlockStream is not the answer and BitcoinXT is an altcoin. Saying those are the only two choices for Bitcoin is extremely dim-witted.
First of all Bitcoin XT is not an altcoin. To think that we should never hard fork is the equivalent of saying that the core developers have absolute power over the development of the Bitcoin protocol. Or as Mike Hearn said "they believe that the only mechanism that Bitcoin has to keep them in check should never be used". We should not think that we must have the consensus of the core developers if that consensus becomes impossible to reach, since that is tantamount to centralization of power. The ability to hard fork in this way represents the check that we have against such power that a core development team could hold. This is part of what makes Bitcoin truly so decentralized. There are right now only two fundamental choices we can make. We can either vote for Core or we can vote for BIP101, these right now are our only two choices. You can call me dim-witted if you would like but I would prefer it if you could prove me wrong. Can you point me towards an alternative client that I can run right now that will support bigger blocks which is not BIP101? You do realize that Bitcoin will continue running without BlockStream or XT right? You seem to think you need to take some dire action right now to save Bitcoin. I would suggest that your attitude is exactly the type of panic that those two teams are trying to play on. I mean, supporting XT for solving a larger block size debate because you want "an alternative client that I can run right now" seems like the actions of an impatient and frightened person. If you have some financial involvement with BlockStream or XT, I can see why you'd push those as the only options. If you aren't involved with either of those projects, then you need to open your eyes and think for yourself. BlockStream and XT are both bad options. Don't support either one. |

Then why are the XT camp trying to ban TOR? They aren't. It doesn't matter how many times this kind of question is asked, XT still doesn't ban TOR. You should read up about blacklisting IPs. If you think XT is about block size and not a power grab for control of the network rules, you are sorely mistaken. |

Can you verify your funds under management? Given your focus on transparency and AML I assume this will be no problem?
Also, as a hedge fund, you must have holdings. Do you post those anywhere? Are you strictly trading altcoins back and forth or are you actually invested in any legitimate businesses with revenues? I know NastyFans provides an owner list so that claimed holdings can easily be verified by a 3rd party. I assume your holdings would have something similar. Given that you promise a 7-11% return on Bitcoin, what risks or obstacles are there to jeopardize this? Is there a point when your fund will get so big that 11% returns are no longer possible? Is there a point when the exchange rate will become so high that an 11% return is no longer possible? I already know the answers to these questions, but I would like to see your response. |

Who has ideas for a business with Bitcoin that over some time might grow very large...let`s see what can we all put together ..maybe we can do something  This was more or less the idea behind NastyFans. The NastyFans organization structure allows for anyone to participate by sending BTC to NastyFans, which is then shared among all seat owners. In theory, someone could start a service and donate all their BTC revenue to NastyFans, while at the same time purchasing seats to gain a larger share of the BTC revenue. If a lot of people followed this trend, you would have a publicly traded community owned and built organization. There are already tools available at http://dev.nastyfans.org tracking a myriad of details regarding the organization and providing developers with feeds that could be used to create other interesting tools. It is also important to mention that there are no fees for any of the NastyFans services (mining pool, public auction, etc.). While I feel NastyFans has flown under the radar to a majority of members on these boards over the last 3+ years, it does provide an attractive infrastructure that would allow the community to build upon.

When you need your funds, it is nice to have access to them. If you think you will be able to withdraw BTC from an exchange if/when the shit hits the fan, I would venture to guess you don't know much about history, nor do you read much in the way of current events.
I imagine the person who keeps their BTC on an exchange is probably the same guy who invests in precious metals ETFs. I also imagine that will be the person who sheds the most tears if it comes to a point where those funds are actually needing to be accessed in an emergency.

Yeah, supporting bigger blocks is not the same as XT.
Everyone say this 100 times. Then turn to the guy on your right and say it 100 more times. |

Don't even know why the debate is focusing on block size if XT also wants to log IP addresses AND ban TOR. With these new "features" it's no surprise that the likes of coinbase and bitpay are backing XT. Gavin and Hearn could just be figureheads for the real interests behind XT: everyone with an interest in continuing the already active project of centralizing (i.e. destroying) bitcoin.
They have done an excellent job at hiding their true intentions. Getting the Bitcoin community to destroy what they love... I thought it would be more difficult. |

So has this turned into a support group for poor bitcoin investments?
Welcome to Asicminers Anonymous. Hi, my name is qwk, and I invested in Asicminer.  Ha. The support group could be a lot larger if it were Crypto Scams Anonymous. AM, BFL, AMC, Labcoin, Paycoin, Moolah, etc, etc. It is a shame how many scams have taken place in this community. I can only imagine how much fun it would have been had things like GLBSE been a success. |

A user with your trust rating not being willing to accept escrow is dangerous to the community. Even if you are 100% legitimate, it is training users here to be trustful under the wrong circumstances. I would ask that you reconsider your position. Your price is great (especially for Canadians), but it is a shame about the escrow. Hopefully allinvain will get them in person so it isn't a concern.
P.S. S5+'s are pretty awesome. They stay nice and cool.
