You wont have a product  6 months from now ( well make it 12 if you want)..

Wanna bet me with me on that?

No.

SMAMMER!!! PUSSY!!! ( Smiley, iam just reflecting your behaivour on previous threads)

I have not sold any tokens to the public. I realize your IQ is only 90, but I've written this already in this very short thread.

Eastern European and Russian programmers are an enigma to me.

I guess it's because they used to work for an idea, not for money. Capitalism mindset people can't comprehend this, one needs to grow in communism environment to solve that enigma.

How does one prepare to fund their retirement if they don't work for both an idea they believe in and for money  Huh

How do we reward a meritocracy if we don't account for higher productivity with money  Huh

I like to work for an ideal/idea also, but I also want to know that my collaborators and users will be more profitable from it.

Perhaps we will reach an abundance economy one day, and then we will work only for reputation and a gift economy. But for now that is definitely not the case because TPTB (the power-law wealth, power vacuum reality) prevent us from achieving our maximum productivity.

Note CfB claims he showed his passport in the past. I haven't seen it and IMO his passport is irrelevant. What I wanted to know is what he accomplished before Nxt and JINN/Iota.

Note when I asked him, I was thinking I wanted to know this to see if he is worthy of proposing collaboration and vice versa, if I am worthy relatively speaking. But as I have thought more about this, I realized that the lack of LinkedIn account makes him unsuitable for the route I want to go with crowdfunding a startup corporation. I need developers who have strong reputations (stronger than mine, because I stopped working in 2006 for the most part although I did continue researching and learning, it is hard to show that because I didn't publish much since 2006. Also I realized that he probably wouldn't be so interested for a too ambitious project that demands a longer-term commitment. And I realized I would be having doubts about whether he would be truly concerned about the value of the software he is creating. I take a huge pride in the software I create and I don't want to knowingly produce something which I think is not going to do what is purports to do. The reason I quit Coolpage, is because after several attempts I was unable to figure out a way to marry pixel-perfect placement with generalized HTML import and export. Thus I realized I was making crap software and I became disillusioned. I really want to believe in what I am working on, which is one reason I've been slow to make an altcoin because I wasn't satisfied that the issues that plague the altcoins could actually be fixed (and I still have doubts even for my own design).

Eastern European and Russian programmers are an enigma to me. I was told (in May or June 2015) they try to find a way to earn the most money with the least work. I was told this by one of them, when I explained why I was having trouble understanding the way they approached my offers to collaborate.

National styles in hacking
Posted on 2013-04-11 by Eric Raymond   

The Russian: A morose, wizardly loner. Capable of pulling amazing feats of algorithmic complexity and how-did-he-spot that debugging out of nowhere. Mathematically literate. Uncommunicative and relatively poor at cooperating with others, but more from obliviousness than obnoxiousness. Has recent war stories about using equipment that has been obsolete in the West for decades.

Like most stereotypes, these should neither be taken too literally nor dismissed out of hand. It’s not difficult to spot connections to other aspects of the relevant national cultures.

I must admit I also try to be clever with efficiency of code sometimes. And also with priorities and organization.

But I am also recognizing that I no longer have the sole capability to code 24 x 7 as I did for CoolPage and thus I need to collaborate. And I think this is a normal pattern as someone ages, they become more valued for their management skills and experience than their raw coding productivity.

I am hopeful that my coding productivity will still be high. Getting off this forum is the first step for me.
1785  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POLL - which coins are scams as defined in the OP? on: March 10, 2016, 08:17:00 PM
TPTB you're a genious analyser, I'm sure all what are you saying is the pure truth and so on, but you don't control the trading flow man!!

It's obvious that any of these shitcoins will succed in the real life, but this don't mean that are completely useless!! Grin Grin

Most people don't like to say so, BUT THEY LOVE SPECULATION, like they love betting or playing in casinos. It's just low-human nature. Right now, we're seeing a huge increase in volume of altcoins.

Sure most volume is from insiders, but I'm also sure that new SPECULATIVE money is being attracted to the scene. So even if MAID, ETH or all those shits are obvious scams, I have the feeling the party hasn't ended yet...

I am not trying to control.

I intended to stop posting and still do intend to.

I just decided I wanted a poll that asked the question the right way and allowed everyone to vote for as many coins as they wish so we can get a more accurate reflection of the sentiment on the forum. I am pleasantly surprised to see that the forum actually does reasonably understand that most of the altcoins are scams (although they needed some help from me to see that for example Factom is hyping a nonsense design).

So this further confirms to me that I need to leave this forum because it is very unprofessional and is for people who have addiction issues.

I want to get back to working with professionals in the industry. I let myself slide away from that over the past decade. I want to create software for users, not for addicted people or people who want to steal from others by trying to be the winner in the greater fool theory of investing that causes most to be losers. I am interested in speculators who invest to better the world.

So this poll is a way of confirming to me that I am wasting my time here.

We end up like what we chose to work on, invest in, and be involved in.

Mix yourself with low lifes, and you will end up a low life also. I speak from first-hand experience of seeing my life disintegrate based on a choice who to associate with in my 30s.

My health problem is physical, not mental. I assure you. I am eager enough about life. I have all the motivation I want here in the Philippines. The problem is my body is physically messed up and I am trying to find a cure.

Can we stop this off-topic discussion now.

you seem to have all the time for trolling projects who actually delivered waay more than you have in crypto

Analyzing technology and pointing out egregious flaws is an accomplishment and those egregious flaws mean they haven't delivered anything but scams and hype.

You resent the truth. Sorry for that. You can complain to the Universe.

I think the only illness you have is psychological, not physical.. no lols

Perhaps you confuse it with midlife crisis. The latter is not treated as a disease despite of having similar external manifestations. Everyone of us - younger ones - will face it. If live long enough, lol.

It is a possibility. I have seriously entertained the possibility that my testosterone is too low and reinstated my barbell workouts this week, which seems to really help a lot.

But the problem was all during 2015, after I did a barbell workout, I crashed into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome the next days. Lately on the herbal tea, I have good energy most of the time. But my legs are still not performing normally (extreme weakness to the point of pain while sitting and don't have ompph often when try to run). Will test for testosterone level soon.

rangedriver thinks fungal infection turning the hormone system estrogen. I am also considering a cancer on the endocrine region of the pancreas which could affect hormones. The decline I have is not normal for my age. It is like what I man might face past the age of 90.

- claims he's terminally Ill.. not true

I have not claimed terminally ill. I said unknown illness; and I was so ill in Q3 of 2015 that I started to consider the possibility of it being terminal. I have some improvement past week or so, perhaps due to this multi-herbal tea I am drinking several times daily. Also my diet and defecation has normlized recently with oatmeal and stopped eating fried foods after I was diagnosed with fatty liver and sludge in my bile (which wasn't a complete explanation for my symptoms but did motivate me to modify my diet).

How much BTC are you willing to bet that I don't have a chronic illness in my gut and peripheral neuropathy? I can then produce notarized medical documents and take your BTC from the escrow.

Are you betting or not?

- claims x coin is flawed, but when challenged and incentivized to prove it, backs off..

Liar. No one has refuted my technology points in 2016. No one. Zilch. Not even once in 2016.
1790  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POLL - which coins are scams as defined in the OP? on: March 10, 2016, 07:44:30 PM
Haha, "shady stuff"

Nxt and JINN Labs. Selling illegal unregistered IPO/ICO securities to US investors.

I have never done that in my entire life. I have instead more than once coded software which attained more than million users. Real world accomplishments. And not shady.
1791  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POLL - which coins are scams as defined in the OP? on: March 10, 2016, 07:39:00 PM
I want to see your entire career and education history so I know who you are and what you have accomplished. Anyone can claim to know several programming languages. I do too. But accomplishments are what demonstrate that someone would want to hire you.

If you don't believe that I know 10 languages then why will you believe in my career and education history?

Try reading my post again to see the various methods I can employ to build a preponderance of evidence that you are important in software.

Knowing a language is not the same as being highly proficient and is not a metric of producing major accomplishments. I don't doubt you can code, rather I don't know whether you've always been working on shady stuff or if you actually done mainstream important work ever.
1792  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POLL - which coins are scams as defined in the OP? on: March 10, 2016, 07:34:59 PM
but you forgot to mention that I speak 7 programming languages heavily used in the industry

I want to see your entire career and education history so I know who you are and what you have accomplished. Anyone can claim to know several programming languages. I do too. But accomplishments are what demonstrate that someone would want to hire you.

Also to see that the people you've worked for/with in the past, do maintain a link with you on LinkedIn and thus that your career wasn't a script kiddie hacker stealing codes. And to see what sort of accomplishments the people you have worked with, have made. To get some feel for if you have been important in software.
1793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POLL - which coins are scams as defined in the OP? on: March 10, 2016, 07:32:15 PM
Ethereum   - Promises to be the first p2p smart contracts provider without the middleman. Not quite there yet, but the team and support are strong.
Ripple   - p2p payments for the banks. Works fine.
MaidSafeCoin - Decentralized internet. I dont think thy are quite there yet, but the idea is interesting.
Dash            - Trying to be the best bitcoin. Allready has solved 0-conf problem with its instant-x tech, robust optional anonymity, rewarded full nodes, core integrated governance and budgeting system etc. All those previously mentioned things allready in working condition, not final but still working. Many great ideas and promises for the future release.
Factom   - First decentralised p2p fully transparent accounting system for businesses etc. i dont think they are quite there yet but again strong team and support.
Dogecoin   - First successful meme currency. Works fine, but lack of innovation and depends on litecoin network.
BitShares   - Decentralized Exchange. Many good ideas and a lot allready working.

Lies and hype. Thus proving why they are scams.

No evidence of strong teams. Where is the career history and accomplishments.
1794  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POLL - which coins are scams as defined in the OP? on: March 10, 2016, 07:23:47 PM
IOTA is a blatant scam, a pure P&D operation, just like LISK. This thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1354220.300 explains all. You can also see the IOTA sockpuppets, shills and developers in full force in that thread.

You have returned to your standard tactics.

Note I asked CfB if we could be contacts on LinkedIn, and he doesn't maintain a LinkedIn profile. What professional programmer these days doesn't maintain a LinkedIn profile. For public figure and to have a solid reputation, I think this is a must. Who is this David that is the principle behind Iota? What is his history and background?

This altcoin arena is dominated by scams because we don't demand that the lead developers are public figures and responsible for opening themselves up to scrutiny. We have no idea what these developers have accomplished in the real world over their careers.

I became more amenable to Monero, when fluffypony was shown on video recently at the Satoshi Roundtable. But I still lack information about the Monero devs backgrounds and history.

I think we should all demand our developers come out from the shadows and put themselves at-risk of public scruntiny.


Edit: the major pumpers of a coin, e.g. qwizzie, should also make their LinkedIn profiles available. Does Evan @ Dash have a LinkedIn profile?
1795  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POLL - which coins are scams as defined in the OP? on: March 10, 2016, 07:16:40 PM
qwizzie the known #1 Dash pumper (and thus scammer),

i think we are still missing one cryptocurrency to vote over, which is of course your own cryptocurrency TPTB.
so lets just reset the poll and include your concept coin as well, i'm sure we have opinions about it.

The definition in the OP requires tokens to be for sale. I have no tokens for sale.

I know you Dash thieves don't like clear logic.

Incorrect. They are highly correlated (if a smoothing filter is employed) since 2013. Gold had a rise recently and so did Bitcoin.


I found this chart:

Source:http://allcoinsnews.com/2016/01/29/tradebock-research-finds-that-bitcoin-gold-negative-correlation-has-intensified/


Yes there are periods where it does seem highly correlated, but that chart is actually showing us that most of last year was the opposite. Thoughts?

I said they are highly correlated if a smoothing filter is applied. Gold does a dead-cat pump, then BTC does, repeat. And the overall trend of the two is down since start of 2014 (gold's decent started 2011 but BTC hadn't yet matured and was in the early adopter phase).

The mistake of the above chart is the same reason that Armstrong's computer can detect patterns that humans miss. The above chart only considers one-dimension for the time axis. Whereas, my explanation has 2 dimensions for the time-axis.

I have no access to the project's official GitHub repository so I have the current version in my forked git:

You did not solve the The Faster Algorithm Attack (FAA). Your proposed solution is incoherent and it doesn't matter what you propose, it will always be flawed because the problem is insoluble:

Quote
The only incentive to perform this attack is to pull of the
51 % attack. We eliminate this incentive by entirely discon-
necting the calculation of arbitrary tasks from the security
of the blockchain. In this context we suggest a pure proof-
of-stake scheme [7] for the block generation. The proof-of-
work scheme is used only for the measurement of who has
contributed how much work the payments of the propor-
tional rewards. Performing the FAA as it is described above
would correspond to an attacker which can solve his own
work quicker than everyone else and so get paid his own
money (subtracted by a small fee to prevent DDOS in this
context). This is not dangerous from the network’s point
of view. In order to maintain a certain degree of incentive
to generate proof-of-stake blocks instead of just focusing on
the calculation of proof-of-works we have decided to credit
the proof-of-stake block with all transaction fees that are
included in that particular block.

Also the attacker can DDoS the system by submitting a verification algorithm that is orders-of-magnitude slower than the attacker's proving algorithm.

This entire concept is insoluble and flawed and any fool who invests in this shit deserves to lose their money.
