Interested - please do PM me with further details. Professional copywriter. Take a look at the links in my sig for examples. I can send more but most of what I do is ghostwritten so I can't post it here.

I often forget that y'all are not in my mind.  (Or rather, that y'all are not aware that y'all are in my mind.)  Sorry.

Existential crisis incoming.

I love this bit from the article (emphasis mine):
Quote
Now we have a small piece of pure, incorruptible mathematics enshrined in computer code that will allow people to solve the thorniest problems without reference to “the authorities”.
Which is bullshit, unfortunately.

There is no mathematical proof that the mining problem is hard, or that it is hard to get the private key of any given address.

No one has found how to do either of those things efficiently yet, but a smart teenager may find one tomorrow.  Or may have found it  already.

But bitcoiners need not worry, if that happens not only bitcoin, but all current e-commerce protocols will be compromised...


Oh for goodness' sake, Jorge. Do you have any understanding of the maths behind this, or how long it would take to implement a vulnerability in a useful way? Either you do, in which case this is pure and simple trolling. Or else you don't, which also raises plenty of questions. In either case I hope none of your students stumble across this thread.

i think he has finally lost the plot  Smiley

I actually checked carefully several times to make sure this really was JorgeStolfi, not JorgeStofli. I'm still wondering whether someone else wrote it.
This simply isn't becoming of a respectable academic, Jorge.

NXT, like every cryptocurrency, is decentralised. It's not like a company that issues shares and has a board that's answerable to shareholders, and is bound by law to achieve the best return for them.
Where funds are donated by the community then it is only fair that those spending them should be accountable. But in most cases, decentralisation means that if you want to see something happen, the best way is to pitch in and make it happen.

I'm looking at pitching/starting a few ideas to raise NXT awareness. One is simply a third-party information site to be used as a kind of basic introduction, a bit like www.bitcoinminer.net but for NXT. Thoughts on how to monetise such a site (since it wouldn't be mine so would need revenue to make it worthwhile to create, and forging means there isn't the same kind of mining industry around NXT)?

Isn't someone working on a BannerCoin, or something like that, to monetize pageview time?
See here for a start. I have no idea how far along this is.

IMO we are at a point where we have a lot of high net worth, major corps, and invesent funds investing in Bitcoin. The days of huge swings, massive outbreaks, and downward spirals are over. I think we will see peaks and valleys in the range of 2-3% possibly at a faster pace than traditional stocks rise and fall but like I said to many major players now have too much to lose not to control the price. Not only that but if more retailers are to enter the "accepting" bitcoin game then the price has to show signs of long term stability and I think that's what we are seeing here. Long term investment growth, price stability for retailers to enter bitcoin, wider acceptance by the general public who don't have the knowledge or skills to enter a highly volatile market.

That's just my guess, he'll we could be at $1,000 on Monday. Who the hell knows.


A lot of high net worth, major corps and investment funds are investing into a 8 Billion capsize, very little of which is for sale ?

Such entities investing in bitcoin in a conservative manner would bring the price at least 100 times higher.
Such entities investing in bitcoin aggressively would bring the price about 1000 times higher.

These entities still have not touched bitcoin with a pole stick.

I think you're absolutely wrong. Many high net worth individuals have come out to say they own bitcoin. We also have funds like second market, and more in the works. These people do not nor would they buy bitcoins on any of the exchanges that exist today. They would again IMO go to the major holders of today's Bitcoin and secure OTC purchases. They might even go to the major mining pools and buy direct. It wouldn't surprise me if a mining pool has already secured contracts to sell so many bitcoins at a set price over a period of mining to some key players. Everyone has an eye and a toe dipped into bitcoin, it's to risky not to, and when the time is right we will see what they want to do with it. One thing I can promise is you and I have no control, all we can do is sit back and enjoy whatever ride we are on.


Who is this everyone?  

As far as OTC transactions, If these people are selling OTC they aren't selling on exchanges.  How does that effect exchange prices?

Surely they'd arbitrage on the exchanges if it was worthwhile? Plus some will buy from exchanges (SecondMarket) if that's the cheapest source.

Market cap is small enough that big money can still move the market (witness the whales mucking around to keep the price where they want it). Stability will be a while yet.

NXT is about a small group of scammers who created and divided 1 billion NXT coins at practically no costs and are now sucking any dick required to make the
price of coins they own go to to sky eventualy making them - yes, those same lamers - the rulling elite of this planet. Why not join them and suck dicks together
for a while, it all might be worth it if only for a while, until someone comes and put an end to your misery lives? I have joined not to suck dicks but enjoy the
show, there will be a price to join the show and it will surely be in NXT so hey do not call me a profiter! I belive show will be fun to watch - from a safe distance.

Sincerely yours NXT-er subSTRATA, the most banned person is a short and pathetic history of shitty NXT forum.  Grin

Just on the off-chance anyone was tempted to pay any attention to this, subSTRATA was banned from the NXTforum for threatening one of the other forum members - someone who has worked as hard as anyone to bring NXT into the mainstream.

Once and if I ever decide to physical harm anyone involved into cryptocoin communities it will not be announced anywhere, especially not on a public forum.
That actualy makes sense if you have a brain but since hardly anyone here or at that shitty NXT forum don't have one of course you panicked like chickens.

You have no powers over me here, fuck off.

Just to clarify the situation to those who missed it, a guy known as a scammer now running supposedly successful NXT businesses (belive that if you are dumb)
started sending me PMs with minor insults ("keyboard warrior" and so on) and wanted to up the debate to a phone call. I upped that to maybe a visit in RL on
forum and then chickens went crazy. Basically, a cocksucker, scammer, low-life and the last person on The Earth you should trust but cheered within a NXT
community (many still unskinned sheeps there) and his scammy and / or dumb friends chickened out and used "a threat" as an excuse to ban me but the real
reason was merely telling the truth, as few others on shitty NXT forum noticed.

Does anyone have an updated chart with the overlays of the previous bubbles and the current line on it? I have no clue how to make one.

More important question is - why would every bubble look the same?

Surface tension.
Less facetiously, there is a classic bubble progression - Google "Anatomy of a Bubble". Bitcoin does seem to do it well for some reason.

I agree in the large term scale - but for trading successfully, we need more details.

In terms of very long term view, just go long anytime now, should be fine 3-5 years from now Smiley Or a year.

Not quite sure what you mean, but there's a certain number of features it's fair to expect - like a bear trap, super-exponential phase, double top, and ultimately back to the mean after a period below it.
Trade those successfully and you'll be doing well.

theres been some great dumping of NXT today.

Indeed. Not too surprising, though. Despite all the good news about, I don't blame people for taking a tidy profit at $0.1.
1898  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [NXT] Nxt - Official Thread on: June 06, 2014, 11:28:18 AM
BTER.com
DGEX.com
btc38.com
One more - any suggestions? Or reasons not to include any of the above?

The first 2 only, the third one just started with NXT, it's not proven to be reliable yet, specifically for NXT it may have deposit/withdrawal issues, and it takes time to prove it functions ok. Be sure to underline that DGEX features manual withdrawals so people don't freak out if they don't receive them immediately.
+1

Add Poloniex and Cryptsy?

NXT is on Cryptsy already!?

I'm voting every day for adding on hitbtc  https://hitbtc.com/vote

Yes. The problem is that's where it stays.
Cryptsy has been plagued with withdrawal problems - every other page in this thread there's another post about it. Not one I'd recommend to newcomers, or anyone until they fix that.
1899  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 06, 2014, 10:01:17 AM

No thanks, I want my BTC being able to buy a lot more.

yes I do as well, but not overnight, i want to rise to 700-800 in 1 month or more not in 3-10 days, stability is what we need, so again: go walls!

+1
The best growth is a stable 0.5-2.0% per month I would think. A huge climb will shun people as much as a huge dip.

True, but tell that to herd psychology. If it does get going, no one's going to care about sustainable. Sad but unavoidable.

My point was/is that wealth is still going to be concentrated in a few, so plus ca change.  As usual everyone here thinks the ideal of democratic govt is a bad thing but I'm not sure I want to live is digital fiefdom where Goat, Risto et al are the new masters.


There's a dystopian novel in that, somewhere.
