I stand corrected. I thought I had the chance to buy the ICO, but now I realize by the time I found out about Iota, the ICO was over. There was something about you had to have invested in JINN before to get in on the ICO or something I forget exactly.

They weave a maze to try to obfuscate.

It adds no difficulty. Don't be disingenuous.

It is because after 10,000+ posts, an endless stream of idiots causes me to have to repeat the same technical points over and over and over and over and over and over...

The insults are intended to shame them into doing some reading before posting or investing. After 10,000+ posts, I think I deserve to express such frustration. If you don't, you are free to ignore me.


It doesn't matter. The issue I cited is insoluble. You will never find a technical solution. Ever.


Sybil attack as I had stated. I never mentioned deduplication.


Nope. I already explained why staking (analogously burning) doesn't provide sufficient security.


An illiquid coin is rather useless. If that is your goal, then you are stating it won't be widely adopted.

Edit: note that shorting isn't required to break the economic model for the security. The staked (deposited and risked) or burned coins can be offset by earnings and in fact must be, otherwise no one will be a storage provider.

Also I was the one who invented proof-of-storage in 2013. I abandoned it because the Sybil attack is insoluble. I am the inventor of the shit.

It is a useful obfuscation technique when a technical refutation is unavailable.

haha. Okay that is cool hacker joke (even if true).

Again I sort of like you. But I also have problems with your association with characters of the sort as David.

But any way, how about we stop this. I need to sleep. You would prefer to be coding I am sure.

What part of "put up or shut up" do you not understand is central to (USA) American culture.

When having a discussion, I expect the other side to not be disingenuous. You made claims then didn't follow through.

I already have high doubts on you because you associate with David, who threatened to sue me for speaking freely about the USA securities law. I also doubt you because of the comment you made that the USA doesn't run the world, thus you don't feel threatened by USA securities law. But the fact is the USA does run the world and Putin is in bed with the USA. I have a feeling you are going to learn the hard way about the importance of ethics.

If you make a poll, you need to provide at least one example. Otherwise you are just obfuscating as you are doing here by refusing to provide an example, refusing to provide evidence, refusing to respond to the nonsense you wrote about meritocracy, etc.

This thread has painted you in a new light for me.

See what I wrote about Eastern European programmers preferring the most return for the least work. Ethics aside.

And yeah I guess when you are making so much money on Nxt and JINN/Iota, that messing around with backing up your claims with actual evidence is just a waste of time.

Understood.

I presented all my facts on the coins. Including yours. The poll in my opinion reflects the unrefuted facts I have been presenting. I am pleasantly surprised to see how many readers have realized the truth about most altcoins.

One could argue that everyone is voting against the coins they don't own. So in that case, the poll is not informational on specific coins, except that it indicates the entire forum is unethical. However I don't think this is the case, because Monero has a low vote. I would think there would be more haters voting against Monero even though Monero appears to not be a scam.

Yes I think that may be the case. I've seen some complaints by people who say they weren't aware of the ICO and now can't buy in at a reasonable price. They also complain about transparency.

I was aware of Iota early on (because someone PM'ed me asking me about my opinion of it) so I could have bought in, but I didn't because I analyzed the technology and was confident it is flawed. Also I was immediately turned off by David (iotatoken)'s unbalanced hyping of it. I don't invest for short-term gains. I invest for the big enchilada over the long-term.

I know nothing about this. Please provide proof, because I certainly wouldn't want to be associated with this. I don't believe you until you provide proof (or at least strong correlation evidence) that he did purchase and use them to conduct a scam.

I think this entire forum is shark infested. So I don't totally think you are wrong, but I also can't accept your statement without some evidence.

That will work to obfuscate that you and Levole11 failed to provide a counter example and let me explain why you are wrong.

Obfuscation is a talent you take pride in?

I prefer to be more transparent and direct.

Purchased for $1000s (you claim 25 of them) just to vote on this shit poll  

Do it.

Talk is cheap.

Have you obtained a statement from Theymos as to what level of account is required to vote?

Seems one needs to post for a while before they can vote. I am also curious if the vote on Iota is a real reflection of forum sentiment.

Btw, I don't think you are helping yourself with the posts you are making here. You would have been wiser to say nothing in this thread. No one was focused on Iota before you started trolling me.

My technology points made in 2016 have not been refuted. Provide a counter example and I will explain how you are wrong.

Before 2016, I was still learning and researching, so there are some examples where I was corrected by others such as smooth and gmaxwell. I referring to recent history.

I never backed off and my technology points were never refuted.

Well true, Sergey Brin is apparently well accomplished. But he is in the USA and he has a LinkedIn account. But note afaik he is goofing off now and not the stable, serious leader of Google that Larry Page has become.

Huh  

How does giving 1/100th of the money earned from the Nxt pump back to the majority who lost their money address my questions  

This is the Communist philosophy that those who are clever or connected run away with the lion's share while everyone else gets "let them eat cake".

After the reality hits that the 2.0 coins are mostly hyped scams. Maybe the community will come back to the proof-of-work coins such as Litecoin and Monero.

Selling ETH and buying Litecoin and XMR might end up being a good trade at some point?
