First coin that comes out with solution to preventing 51% attacks and better network decentralization will become Facebook and BTC will become MySpace if it doesnt adapt. But, as far as i know solution is not as easy as everyone thinks so we might wait for some time untill that happens. It's possible that BTC devs find solution like that which would set BTC's no1 place in stone and noone could touch it for quiet some time.
If you've been under the rock recently, there are at least 2 such coins more or less known and with a few months of track record: PoW: Myriadcoin PoS: NXT |

I see a lot of symbolism in this - "I sh*t on you".

What is Swarm and why does it matter that it accepts XCP?

wogtami is a top class dev.
the coin has top dev team
thats enough to make me hold LTC atm
Well, if they don't use their top skills, what's the use? Has Litecoin introduced any new feature recently? Apart from Coin Control, which is only a cosmetic improvement of the main function of storing and transfer of funds, there's been zero useful features added. |

Someone dump a lot XCP  Buy, it's "blood in the streets"  |

Ah, that pool just got lucky! I see it now.
Why would a pool double-spend? Let's see. Someone with an agenda could put a gun to the pool's operator head and give direct orders. How's that for an economic factor?

If you're worried, diversify into altcoins.

It's buy side divided by sell side, not vice versa.
You get the average price buyers have stacked their orders at.
Did I say that's what Qora is worth? No, I didn't.
There is A number of bitcoins chasing B number of Qoras, A/B=C - the average price.
Qora's immediate worth is what the market is paying right now for it.
Qora's future worth is unknown.

He is spreading fud....
I posted a fact, go make your own calculations, the order book is open to see. |

I dumped my remaining XCPs a few days ago. I'd probably keep them, but then I have to keep downloading the bitcoin blockchain all the time, which is a pain. Yeah I know there is an online secure wallet that does encryption in the browser for such lazy types as me, but I just don't trust online wallets. So i just figured no reason to keep them XCPs, if the only two ways to use them are either insecure (in my subjective mind) or inconvenient.

The average price buyers are willing to pay at Poloniex is ~25 satoshi.

why, this guy, is not in jail ? i don't understand the justice ...  But he apologized, didn't he? |

This Japanese justice system works very well against the violent crimes. But at the same time, it is having almost no effect on the white-collar criminals. Japan is turning to be a perfect refuge to all those financial crooks.
To paraphrase, if an exchange operates from Japan, don't trade on it. Which other countries are the same? |

The NXT forging algorithm is a complete fraud.

Hello, scammer. Will you return one million NXTs you scammed from NXT community? |

simplewallet.exe can be seen as a "thin client", it manages wallets and broadcast transactions to bitmonerod.exe.
I think it is possible to host deamon on a remote server, hence we could achieve a real light weight client.
It's not a trustless solution |

Monero blockchain grew to 1 Gb in one month and it's a pain to sync, and only a few people use it now, imagine what would happen when/if it gets more popular. Do you think that Monero alone won't fly due to syncing and storing issues if everyone uses the same cryptonote currency?
In my opinion, a few cryptonote currencies will become popular and interexchangeable, since the code is shared, and users would need to download only one of the blockchains. The userbase and transactions are thus split into a few smaller blockchains instead of one huge and everyone chooses their favorite flavor, like linux OSes, with every flavor taking 20-30% of total marketcap of cryptonote currencies.
It's just a pain to wait for it to be fully synced if you only open it once every few days and have to wait 20-30 mins before you can use it. For now it's just pumping at exchanges as many people don't even bother with withdrawing, especially since there is no GUI and they are only speculators. What do you think of this?
I was thinking of this as well. What if a multibit version of the monero qt wallet was made? Where only the important parts of the blockchain are stored, so much less space is needed for the monero multibit/lightweight wallet. Is a thin client even possible with cryptonote currencies? Let the devs answer this. |

Some extra nodes would be nice though in any case.

Everyone was busy at nxtforum.org discussing the bug, so nobody bothered to look here  |
