i found this , so cryptsy is a scam ?
the coin he bought forked and was suspended from trading

actually as BitcoinExpress stated, this person is a pretender who was hired to troll me while portraying a real user. sad thing is, the troll never bothered to make his chinese appear real, and a real chinese person was kind enough to let me know that i was dealing with a pretender.

so you're from mexico, have 12 posts, and your email address is crt.ferguson@gmail, a caucasian last name, and you would like to work on the exchange. what could possibly go wrong?  Roll Eyes


Well that's my last name. And I'm caucasian btw, but yeah I was born in Mexico xD

I don't see what could possibly go wrong :S I just what to help and learn from your project.

So what do you think?



i'll be updating the github later with the latest version of the source. you are invited to fork it and make modifications, submit pull requests, etc.

perhaps you were hoping for root access  Cheesy

Do you wanna bet on whether it will kill you?

It may increase your heart rate, but that's all it's going to do (plus the medicinal effects).

actually, it could cause you to have a stroke and or heart failure due to arterial constriction

a couple of coins i would like to run by you guys as i feel like several of the coins presently listed are probably not worthy of the exchange.i am also considering removing the litecoin market completely, although i probably won't, especially if devcoin is listed on the exchange.


Some coins i am interested in:

Devcoin
Gridcoin
Protoshares
Curecoin

Some coins i am cooling on:

Inkacoin
Netcoin

I work on java trading stuff. Do you have an API, that I could implement, so my code could trade on your site?


there are definite plans for an api. it may not be ready by the time the site launches, but it will definitely happen eventually.
1868  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: OpenEx: OpenSource Exchange- New Screenshots. 11/7/13 on: November 13, 2013, 06:12:10 AM
a small update:

over the weekend, i purchased a couple additional domains(Openex.info, home of the forums, and Openex.mobi home of the mobile version of the site) and security certificates for each, and finalized a deal for hosting of the site.


the site will be launched on the following hardware:

Dell Poweredge

Dual 6 core Xeon 5639's

48 GB ECC DDR3

Dual 1 tb sata with raid

100mbit port, firewalled

google pagespeed cdn+google shield

upgrade plans:

phase1:

-move wallets to server 2(Quad Opteron, 32 gb ddr2, dual 100 mbit port, firewalled)
-move openex.mobi(mobile site) to server 3(Core i7, 8 gb dd3, 1 gbit port, firewalled)
-launch openex.info(the forums)


phase2:

an upgrade with Alpheus moves us into tier 2 hosting, where we share the benefit of the following:

4x 100 gbit CISCO CRS-3 single port with 140G Cisco FPG


Tommorow, the site will go back online at the vps, and we will begin rigorously working on its completion. we have a tentative goal of December, however much of it will hinge on how confident i am in the security of the site. i am typically cautious and would like to err on the side of caution rather than to produce a bad exchange.

stay tuned folks Smiley

Weed isn't. Love it.

But I love money more... it buys me weed.
Huh That doesn't make sense. You claim you love money more than weed, but then dump the money in exchange for weed. Which suggests you love the weed more.

Some people aren't designed to get it.  They judge us like they're the righteous ones. Holy and pure. Bullshit.
Reading through your previous posts your not entirely innocent of being judgmental yourself.


Take drugs, don't take drugs. Doesn't bother me, up to the individual. Personally it just doesn't interest me, and never has. *shrug*.
It's seems to me drugs are so deeply embedded in your life, someone else enjoying life without any need to take drugs just doesn't register in your tiny brain. Cannot happen. Does not compute. Malfunction. Something must be wrong with them.

Sad.  Sad


As long as you live in your own little paradise apart from all the crack head users, and dope fiends, and rap music gang parties and stuff? Drugs seem to go along with these thinking disorders especially of younger people before they actually grow up. But it causes harms to people who have to live in the low rental places, as these drug users seem to end up there, and they seem so intent on doing their drugs and other foul things, that anyone who wants to live in a quiet place is somehow in their way, and they seem to have thoughts of murder.

But sure, as long as it doesn't enter into my life, or as long as I am not aware of these problems, then go ahead and do the dope or don't do the dope?

There are elderly people living in abusive apartments, where other people push their drugs and threaten violence, where they keep the doors locked and don't go out at night.
Then there is the crack users, whose filthy smoke is like pooring pure alcohol down the throats of the neighbors against their will, just from breathing a whiff of that crap.

You seem to be equating marijuana use with inner city gang problems, blight and hand-in-hand with crack, etc.  Marijuana use happens along all social spectrums from the White House (Willie Nelson) to inner city crackhouses.  Whatever underworld unpleasantries are associated with marijuana could easily be eliminated by legalizing and regulating it.  Take out the profit incentive.  I still won't use it when it is legal in my state unless a medical problem necessitates its use.


One of the main problems I see with marijuana, is that it goes into the air, for other people in the building, or nearby to inhale, and it is an intoxicant and it is a toxin.

There are people with health problems who may have their health negatively effected by other people smoking pot, who also show no regards for others in the building; and if they legalize it, then they would blow pot smoke in the face of the afflicted. Pot smoking and bad thinking disorders seem to go hand in hand.

It is similar to forcing someone to drink straight alcohol from a bottle against their will. It is toxic and it is an intoxicant.

If they do legalize it, then it should only be allowed in certain places, but not in buildings or near to other people who want nothing to do with it.



indeed, marijuana is very dangerous for people with heart problems or anxiety.

@Quantcast

1) I agree mcxNOW is a kickass site, shame it's handicapped by Coinhunter though. The trade engine is slick. Hats off to ever helped Coinhunter build it.

2) mcxNOW really isn't my focus at the moment, those bastards at Cryptsy are on my shit list. I've spent the last 7 days reigning in herds and reassembling a farm to deal with them. It will be a group effort but I think RS will have to smile when it all goes down. If anyone has coins stored on Cryptsy I would certainly advise you to pull them back into your own wallets.


~BCX~

that is a bold statement my friend. i'm not casting my lot with cryptsy, as i certainly have no appreciation for their scammish tactics and use of scapegoats to protect their bottomline, however i strongly doubt you will be able to take cryptsy offline, even for a second

Yes.
I'm done worrying about other peoples problems. My family and children come first from now on. That's the way it's going to be.

But it causes harms to people who have to live in the low rental places, as these drug users seem to end up there, and they seem so intent on doing their drugs and other foul things, that anyone who wants to live in a quiet place is somehow in their way, and they seem to have thoughts of murder.
Yeah, been down that path a few years ago. Guy upstairs lost his job, after that the all night parties and drugs started. And there's me trying to sleep because I had to be up at 6 o'clock for work. Obviously he started defaulting on the rent, so he got quickly kicked out. Luckily only lasted a few months, which was more than enough I can tell you. We've also moved to a better area now.




first world problems man, let me tell ya
1872  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you smoke pot? on: November 11, 2013, 10:48:07 PM
yeah, marijuana isn't all that its cracked up to be. i smoked for 10 years, and since i've been clean i've never felt better. don't get me wrong, i missed it and its a valuable medicine for those who need it..

However, just like most other drugs, when abused it does more harm than good, even if that harm isn't physical(and it actually does physical harm to your brain, but many people don't know that.) the amount of harm it does is trivial, however be aware that some compounds present in raw marijuana(CBD) cause abnormal neuron growth in the brain, due to partial blocking of receptors. One specific risk entailed in this "neurogenesis" , is Walleria degeneration, which is an ambiguous term for brain damage occuring when a neuron loses its "myelin sheath". Based on these observations, it is said that chronic use of marijuana with high cbd ratio can lead to brain tumors in the thalamus, hypothalamus, the prefrontal cortex, and the occipital lobe. These studies were first published in a 2010 Chinese medical paper that failed to ever reach the Western Media Lime Light.

All things being equal, the amount of CBD required to produce this risk factor is roughly 1000 times the amount of CBD present in the average gram of marijuana, however it remains to be seen whether these risks can be associated with long term use, as the sample size of this study was small and the study was conducted on lab mice, so suffice to say marijuana can reasonably be viewed as a safer alternative to opiods and other pain medications.

a good point, but where there is a will there is a way. the way i see it, Protoshares is innovation in reverse designed as a nostalgia for cpu miners and "black currency" racketeers who wish to profit from an easily gulled public, hinging on a rarity and uniqueness factor, an all to common theme in the alt world.
Still it's features make it better than 80% of the coins already listed on cryptsy.


that is a fact that i cannot argue with my friend  Cheesy

well played indeed

Protoshares: Sure it has a "new hashing algorithm", but lets look at this algorithm in perspective. it uses a high amount of system resources on even a large system, with an average yield of less than 1 hash per second. realistically, how scalable is this network. slower the hash does not always mean more security. suppose a botnet owner with > 600 boxes secures 51% of the network and doublespends. what will stop this action?

+1 for GRC, OSC
Memory requirements are high, something that most botnets lack.

Extremecoin: What's the point? i'm sorry i don't see the real world value of a front loaded cryptocurrency, and i stand by my previous statements about coins such as MEC that are frontloaded scandalously.



+1 for GRC, OSC

Gridcoin: What can i say about Gridcoin? Well first of all it uses BOINC, which integrates quite nicely with the qt client. Users are rewarded a fixed amount of coins per block, however with BOINC running a scientific task in tandem with gpu mining, a bonus for BOINC utilization is awarded for each solved block. Gridcoin has an inherently decentralized nature, as pooled mining is currently not possible with GRC. while i am a detractor of this coin due to its usage of the inferior scrypt algorithm, i am a proponent of it due to its stable block times, fair block rewards, and its support of real world scientific tasks. If primecoin can be so easily accepted and promoted as scientifically relevant, how can GRC be denied, since its work is actually contributing to science unlike primecoin, the latter of which's contribution to science is theoretical and is more of a novelty to mathematics than anything else.

OSC: This is my coin and the fact that it hasn't been listed on cryptsy has more to do with me and the things i've done and less of the coins merits.
OpenSourcecoin has a clear goal, a fair reward, a stable network and is a deflationary currency due to its controlled economic structure. Many coins that have launched prior to and since OpenSourcecoin was released, have already exceeded the moneysupply of OSC(just over 800,000 coins at present time.) i currently control 1/8th of the coin supply, with 41,000 coins in my personal wallet and 60900 remaining in the development fund. With coinbit.pw nearing completion, i think you will see a noticable rise in support and demand for this coin. While other coins will peak and die, OSC will be there, steadily growing and maturing with age, much in the manner that bitcoin grows and produces money supply.

Why would anybody still want to touch one of your coins after you sabotaged memorycoin when you didn't get your grant anymore?

Only 3 things wrong here -
1. Not my coin
2. I didn't sabotage memorycoin - I left
3. I left because the grants weren't going to devs - didn't need to be me, could have been any dev.

For the record my opinion is that your insistence on using your large voting power to vote grants to yourself is what killed MemoryCoin. Go and look in the mirror.

Anyway turns out the people who took my advice and mined ProtoShares from the start did very well, and the people who took your advice didn't.




agreed on all points except i think protoshares will fail eventually. innovation in reverse in not innovation  Grin
