Like i said "fanboys" all you can do is cuss and call me a child... but none of you has said a thing about the points i raised....  Roll Eyes

and as for being bitcoin rich, i fucked it sideways. I got in through LTC and bought my way in.

Bitcoin fan boys, please stop spamming us about how great bitcoin is. it really is not, it's insanely difficult to get and only the elites "early adopter + asic" can gain anything from it. Also it's ridiculously slow and the tx fees are insane, it has failed to live up to expectations. iknow you have holdings in it, which is why you try push us there....but the truth is, it is dying and very unstable, please look at the solid showings some altcoins have. WE ARE NOT DUMB, we see quite clearly that bitcoin was the concept...now we are developing the improvents. So take your archaic shit the **** away. See yourselves squabbling when one of you dumps his insane thousands of btc and instead moves to alts... we see you too fanboys...and you look ridiculous.
1627  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: GIL needs team members on: July 19, 2013, 07:32:51 PM
Or even better, merged mine bitcoins, namecoins, devcoins, groupcoins, coiledcoins, ixcoins, i0coins and geistgeld all at once and trade them all in for gold?

Or even keep the bitcoins to pay the electric bill and trade the others in for gold?

-MarkM-


because bitcoin was a starter it is not the messiah of cryptos!!!!! please stop encouraging that line of thinking, it goes against the core values we all believe in. Also bitcoin is becoming obsolete, it takes too long to transfer funds.

oy, you just said nothing. it's a pseudo premine because it was annoinced on a virtually empty forum, if it was announced here then when the following gre, moved to the other forum that would make sense. Essentially those who were in the know got to premine this crapcoin.

this coin is dead if 3 people with at least a 20mh each farm point at it for more than an hour.

I made this thread as soon as I saw the post and that it was posted 11mins into release.


ever seen a five minute video of a 20mh+ farm? please, be honest and see that this coin was wrongly launched.  i highlighted that code because the difficulty algo has no place in today's crypto world.
1630  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Noirbits Update required Improved algos !!!! on: July 19, 2013, 07:26:16 PM
Where are the updated windows files?

The link on the original first-post is to an older source than the one I have?

The link I had (I assume burried in one of the non-first posts), gave me a compiled version with 7/9/2013 "modified" dates. The link on the first page gives files that are "modified" on 6/18/2013... thus, older than what I have.

Tell your coder to check his computers time, if he is compiling with an older date than reality, or update the original link on the first post so we don't have to dig to find a program that works. Unless your target is just a minority of poor coders using free OS's, and not the majority of actual people with money using Windows. (Just some food for thought. Not insulting coders, or people not willing to pay for an OS. They have their reasons, I am sure. But they are NOT going to be the primary funding of a coin. If there was anything you should have learned from BTC, it is that internal support of a poor coder leaves you trading pennies, not dollars, for years, and poor structure with "making your program available", essentially kills coins. Just look at mincoin, chncoin, ezcoin, sexcoin, hypercoin, luckycoin, powercoin and anoncoin... You don't want to follow in footsteps that lead you to an open grave.)

Not sure what you mean. The link in the first post points to a RAR archive containing the latest version. The DLL's are from 6/18/2013, but who cares, they're just dependencies supporting the program. The main .exe file in the archive is stamped on 7/9/2013. I double checked this.

On a side note, I am the coder. I don't get paid for this (I mine Noirbits like everyone else, and there was no premine...). I do it on my free time. This is a community coin. Anyone willing to help is welcome. Lots of people giving lessons, but not that many actually helping out....

Quite funny how most users consider they shouldn't have too do any work, and the coders should do everything. This is not paid software. Now, if you do decide to pay me, I can get more professional, but line up the cash, because I already have a full-time job coding.

Please do not take advantage of his efforts, he really has done a lot. Personally m disgusted by those who only complain but can't add anything to the project. I said BE RESPECTFUL , ask nicely when you have issues. attacking him or me may have unexpected results. We have full time jobs already but we are here building this WITH NO PAY. show some decency.

What are the Noir Bits developers working on?

 stbgefltc is working on main code during his free time, please RESPECTFULLY request anything you would like. I am currently looking into getting us on a different exchange and the bank. It's a far chance, but it would change not only NRB but the face of crypto if people could start doing ordinary banking ops with it. Due to location i will not be introducing direct fiat withdrawals in that country, but it will be available at ATMs. Getting Visa to accept us is dependent on American interests so we have already begun talking to the guys who made the first BTC ATM.

There is a nation that has said if we support BTC in our bank, they will let us run parallel to normal eco line as an experiment. Our only squabble with them is that they would like the bank to set guaranteed exchange rates for fiat in their country. I am uncomfortable with this since it puts the bank in for serious losses if BTC tanks.

barwizi, whatever you do, do NOT accept a fixed rate.  The ongoing currency wars across the globe has instigated a race to devalue currencies between all developed countries.  This will make exports so much cheaper for said countries that other (less developed) countries will have no choice but to devalue as well, in order to keep their exports competitive.  What you would have to worry about is BTC spiking AND their currency tanking; you'll basically be giving away free BTC to that country's banking system.  And the global financial environment is ripe for both to occur.  

-Merc

EDIT:  I assumed you will be selling BTC to this country's financial system.

thanks for the heads up, i am not too knowledgeable when it comes to deep economics but what you said makes sense.

ANT release is in 24 hours, package is completed. Please place your final votes, structure has been decided as groups of 5 for buy-ins.

The first group has 2 million ANT dedicated , the second has 1 million, 3rd 500k, 4th 250 and the last 125k .

These dedics are based on TOTAL COIN CAP, many devs made obscene premines which make it hard to determine who has what and some people expressed ideas of wishing to mine more so as to have a "foot in".  This doesnt not change the value of your holdings.

Example: ANT group one "coin A" has cap of 10 mil, it alone has 400k dedicated coins. Ergo price of one ANT is 25 coin A.  Same logic applies to all groups of coins.

Your votes still count please have your say. Questions are welcome.

I have a question about the Noirbank. How will its ownership be set up?
Will the community be able to pirchases shares of it?

Good question, once i get my paper work in order i'm hoping to apply a form of community control, i will however have a large slice of the ownership, probably 51~55% for legal reasons. If i find a way to make it completely community managed that would be cool, but most nations need someone to point at when things go awry so i'll probably have to be actually liable.

The issue that was raised was the reserve fund issue, most countries require a certain amount of money to be available as reserve to protect a banks clients, this has raised an issue that we are currently considering.
