What a fucking kook!!!  lol.   Find another company?  Maybe BFL will satisfy you.  I hear they are really good for people who don't like to wait.  

Your serious tone and threats are a riot buddy.  You think Spondoolies could give a damn if you were waiting?  No way.  Jews like their holidays as much as the next guy.  You wait for office hours like everyone else.  

Here is why Mastercoin is 100% fucked forever and never going to amount to anything.

1) The management team is a joke.  Ron has only made one announcement in 6 months and it was just to tell everyone he has a 'personal assistant'.  Apparently he fancies himself as some premium executive too busy for menial tasks suitable for assistants.  Joke.

2) It took them 3 months to solve an forum issue which prevented newcomers from registering.  Therefore, there is NO participation and no energy in the community.  Everyone went to NXT which has a very nice user interface.  

3) To even further block any interested parties in getting to the forum, the mastercoin foundation page http://www.mastercoin.org/ still (been that way since the beginning) has a broken URL which is supposed to point to the forum.  At the bottom of the page, the link to the forum is: https://www.mastercointalk.org/.  Doesn't work.  If one removes the 's', you'll get the correct address.  But how many people have time to tinker with broken URLs to get to the information they are looking for?  None.  They all go to NXT where shit just works.  This is a very effective way to keep forum participation to a minimum.  That is one way to deal with trolls - eh Ron?

People having some interest in the MasterProtocol try to learn more and hit deadends everywhere.  The people responsible for the frontend of the Mastercoin project have failed so miserably it isn't funny.  Ron hired a bunch of fools from TelAviv to run the website - and it has crushed the project.  NXT has a fantastic web presence.  Why doesn't someone fix this?  Time to fire Ron and get a real leader.  

When is the next vote for Exec Director coming up?

Voorhees was selling 'shares'.  Quite a bit different because these other guys are selling bits of cryptography units (same like bitcoin).  I don't think it could easily be argued that maidsafecoins are 'securities'.  Lots of gray area.  However, when a guy does this style of crwdfunding and it turns out to be pure scam, then I think you'll see the man coming for you everytime.

This looks like a good direction for advanced uses of bitcoin. I can't believe these guys are pulling this off already.

What will bitcoin do next?

In the name of keeping something simple, we can present factually incorrect information?  Stupid is as stupid does.  

Writers go on and on about the mystery of 'mining', and bitcoin and related things.  Time for us to remove all this mystical bullshit and tell it like it is.  'Solving complex mathematical equations' is just blowing smoke up a nerd's ass.  Nobody is solving complex math equations.  What mining does is no more sophisticated than guessing a number.  Stop trying to make it appear that only geniuses are capable of creating bitcoin via 'solving complex mathematical equations' - utter bullshit.  Same as most writing on bitcoin - utter bullshit.  

We ought to always try to inform journalists when they error.  If it takes shame, this to is a good way to get the story straight next time.  I intend to call out future dumbass reporters as they try to pass off their trash as fact.  I encourage other to also point them out by name and laugh in their face and publically ridicule them.  Modern journalists don't have editors any longer.  I am not precisely sure why that is.  But in the old days, a journalist was careful to get it right as their boss would have their ass if they made these kinds of mistakes. Today, journalists don't really care much at all about getting it right.  

yeah, well I heard it would go to $20,000.  WTF?  Who is right around here?

This idiot can't pay attention to the facts related to the stories she writes.  http://dealbook.nytimes.com/author/rachel-abrams/


In her recent article, she wrote: "solving complicated mathematical equations to “mine” new coins." http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/05/29/dish-network-to-accept-bitcoin/

Here is your complicated mathematical equation:

'Guess a number between 1 and 100 trillion'
Nope
'Guess another number between 1 and 100 trillion'
Nope
'Guess another number between 1 and 100 trillion'
Nope
'Guess another number between 1 and 100 trillion'
Nope
'Guess another number between 1 and 100 trillion'
Nope
'Guess another number between 1 and 100 trillion'
Nope
'Guess another number between 1 and 100 trillion'
Nope
'Guess another number between 1 and 100 trillion'

That is mining.  It is not a complicated mathematical equation. When are writers going to begin to understand even the simplest aspects of bitcoin?  


Somebody should email her a link to this post: rachel.abrams@nytimes.com

Maybe he isn't threatening to break anything.  Maybe he is just threatening to glue his fingers with Super Glue.

You are a moron of very high order.  Your writing is complete bullshit. 

Well someone ought to tell the lazy fucker to quit drinking tea and get the fuck back to work.  The MaidSafe website absolutely sucks.  Where is the interesting information?  How are people going to learn about MaidSafe?  Where are the daily progress updates?  WTF?

It is total garbage.  They lose thousands of customers everyday because they don't make the application available without 'send a request'.  You must give your email so you can be spammed to hell for the next 5 years.  I just want to download the damn thing to try it.  But there is no download page.  You must 'send a request'.  The minute I see a form which ask for my email and has 'send a request' on it - I bail.  100% quit.  A real estate agent website I was on last month lost $30000 fees because his stupid page has 'send a request' on it.  My fucking request is implicit because I am on your fucking site looking at your shit.  My request is embodied in the fact that I am looking on the internet for your shit.  Don't make it hard to download your app and you have a change to get people to download it.  Force people to give their email address and 'send a request' and you will limit your users by 4:1 by my estimate.  Who has time to 'send a request'?  Just give me the fucking download page.

What?!  Are you mad? 

If an issue comes before the foundation it is clear the Gavin and Andreas will consider the longterm good of bitcoin in making a decision.  Conversely, nothing is more clear that Brock Pierce IS HIGHLY CONFLICTED. 

For example, OP_Return.  Pierce as an big investor in Mastercoin would definitely lobby hard to make a liberal accommodation for OP_Retun.  His personal business interests don't always match bitcoin's long term interests.  He should dismiss himself.  Even the appearance of impropriety is severely damaging to bitcoin.  Forget about the ugly lawsuit and DEN and IGE and other shit he was involved with.  The mere fact that his business positions are extensive and often in conflict with bitcoin long term interests means he should not participate - BY HIS OWN judgment - he should leave. 

Gavin and Andreas have not shown even the slightest lean away from the long term best interests for bitcoin. 

The Foundation as it is today is seriously compromised.  Dissolve it.

Haven't you ever heard of a 'no confidence' vote?  Dumbass.

Because they have enormous potential to fuck things up HUGE.  You don't think that Pierce will be lobbying hard for advantages which help his companies efforts?  He for sure has set the tone to screw everyone to make a profit for his company.  It is a clear conflict of interest to have someone so vested in various private efforts as he is.  Andreas will vote for the maximum good of bitcoin everything.  Brock Pierce will be trying every angle to rig the system to help GoCoin.  Booby Lee might be a very nice guy - I never met him.  But he too is too stacked up with personal interests which do not align well with general bitcoin interests. 

The present board is corrupt and broken.  We need a no confidence vote to encourage them to voluntarily leave and form a new one.  They really need to fire themselves.

Having a lame foundation is bad for bitcoin.  Let's form a strong one.

The opposite is true.  What the foundation thinks of itself is unimportant.  What the bitcoin community (bitcointalk) thinks is of greatest importance.  This discussion should take place here where the foundation can't easily influence its outcome.

This is totally stupid.  They haven't even missed their shipping date yet.  The other guys had 6 months past the shipping date before a lawsuit was filed.  So far, KnC hasn't even broke their promise.  They still give out refunds left and right.  Why are you going to sue them.  About 5 guys are being dumbasses and doing a ton of screaming.  Idiots. 

It kind-of reminds me of the time when MSC was at .25 and you decided to sell and made a major announcement to that effect.  The market crashed almost exactly the same way.  After these crashes, interest and devs leave the project (Tachikoma).  There should have been some kind of 'lock out' agreement which prevented mass selling by insiders looking to crash the project momentum.  What a shame really.

The 'distributed exchange' has no (practical) UI and is horrible.  It is so unusable, that nobody uses it.  For user friendliness, MSC gets a clear 'F'.  This is why the project is dying.  Newcomers are VERY turned off in just a brief moment. 

What's the worse that could happen?  Brock Pierce could hire guys to throw you off the same building they threw that chick off.  I'd shut the fuck up if I were you.

So your argument is that since Prock Bierce likes nailing teenage boys rather than children, he is an OK guy, 'normative'?  wtf? What about his previous company where he screwed his partner out of millions?

Who does BP claim isn't thinking for themselves?  Looks like about 4:1 thinkers think he needs to go.

Is it necessary for one to rotate his schtick yearly?  I was unaware of this. 

Besides, I don't know what is so shocking about Ploshay being a jew.  I wasn't shocked when I found out.  Jews love being in control of money.  What about this shocks you?
