These days I think in order for a new coin to compete it should with anonymous transactions and coloured coins(asset exchange) at least.
New mining algos or a good PoS system(or a hybrid) is interesting too.
A good non-joke name is also something that I think people underestimate the importances of. Dogecoin was probably a one time thing.
Is there any reason to have anonymous transactions baked in, when third party vendors offering this service can compete with each other to innovate and excel, far more than a developer or developer team with other commitments can? I would ask the same question of coloured coins, the extensibility of the bitcoin protocol, and therefore anything based on that protocol, allows any module built on top of bitcoin to be built on any to be developed coin also. Contrarily the native addition of any feature like this will most likely preclude the use of possibly superior third party solutions which could otherwise be integrated seamlessly, offering choice and competition in the marketplace. I hope this doesn't come across as being against such features, full discussion on the positives and negatives is useful before making decisions to include something. You have raised some interesting questions, and make a fine point about coin naming. Theoretically or even ideally 3rd parties would build upon it like they do bitcoin but in order for people to use a new coin from the beginning it has to offer some utility I think. It shouldn't be a requirement per se but the altcoin community is definitely hungry for a true anonymous coin. And an asset exchange adds another dimension to a coin. If a coin has other innovations I guess these things aren't mandatory. But I think the demand for these features is high right now and seeing a coin offering these cutting edge features adds a lot of credibility I think. |

Tyrion Lannister... how did it know??  With GoT on now that one is probably the most searched!  |

i'm not an expert on the bitcoin protocol, but is there any way that we can make it financially feasible without having to be forced into a pool?
Make the whole group of miners one big pool that no one controls? Payout based on shares with no variance at all? I'm guessing that doesn't work because it's too obvious. |

Both games so far today were pretty good.
Shocking seeing Spain out so fast. Amazing. Although they had a lot of chances at goals this game but could not get one on target.
I have a feeling like a lot of different teams have a decent chance at winning this year.

ftue ue m omqemd okbtqd iuft m eturf ar fia Try this one  this is a caesar cypher with a shift of two Only it's not! @Este Nuno is the hint about 12345? No the hint has something to do with the the way you solve it. If you want a spoiler you can google the scrambled cipher and the site where i got it from will show how it's done. 3rd result down on google for me. |

How is bitcoin a trustless currency when you need to trust mining pools not to attack the system? Look at this article: http://hackingdistributed.com/2014/06/16/how-a-mining-monopoly-can-attack-bitcoin/Bitcoin could be a trustless currency if there were measured implemented to prevent centralisation of mining power. We know the current situation is not how Satoshi intended it to be. I think if he didn't go away he would have come up with a solution a long time ago. Any suggestions how to go about it? I had some but I was told that they wouldn't work for such and such reason. We need a working solution that doesn't require making major changes to the way the protocol works. And from what I gather, that is not possible. Yeah, honestly I have no idea. But I would hope to see at least some community effort towards solving the problem. Even just continuing to acknowledge that it's a huge issue is something. I don't want people to think everything is ok just because Ghash is only reporting their total hashing at 40%. Yeah, well I tried to throw a few idea (I admit maybe they were premature) and I got hammered. So, I don't think a solution is going to pop up, and if someone had a solution to this then they would create their own coin which is more secure. That is the impression I have after the last 2 days of trying to help the situation. I think Peter Todd had an idea but apparently it's been shut down hard by the devs. I hope people were polite at least when you offered your ideas. The community should welcome new ideas and debate while being able to maintain civility. |

You can also try "The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine" by Michael Lewis is really a good business economy book.This is the no 1 New York Times bestseller.
Moneyball is really good too even if you're not a baseball fan. The Blind Side was a good read too, but not as focused on a revolutionary approach like Moneyball was. It's more story focused. Liar's Poker while old is still a really interesting read today. If just to get an idea of some of the history behind today's Wall Street. |

I'd love to agree, but in practise this doesn't work - check the donation address on some of your favourite bitcoin software, almost every one I've ever checked has been 0.
It is surprising how many addresses I've checked and seen either zero or a few cents USD as the amount received. That's why multibit started skimming transaction fees, haha. Actually, there's an idea. Transaction fees or part of them anyway, going to the devs. Then if people actually are using the coin they get some money. |

Maybe a system that doesn't reward dumping straight away. Some sort of thing like stock options, if possible.
Something that incentivises the devs to actually develop after the launch.

Where does FantomCoin see itself among Monero et al? If one of the CN coins ends up being huge there is a reasonable chance that FCN can go with it. But what are the use cases for FCN?

Considering their OS is buggy as all hell I can't imagine their coding language being that stable not to mention the lack of support due to it being new etc.
I'm calling it right now. It'll have more bugs than PHP.
Haha, I don't think that's possible |

I can't stand anything to do with Apple I see them as a bunch of self important scam artists that steals other people's ideas. Business is about evolving and I see that the fact that if a company resorts to lawyers in order to raise revenue the company must have run out of any proper ideas for their products.
Even if you don't like Apple you can't say that people haven't been making lots of money via their app store. You can dislike Apple and still take advantage of the fact that people are buying apps on their iphones and ipads. |

TODAY I AM TRYING TO MAKE THIS FOR MY SELF HOPE IT WILL BE FINE

(Meen Varuval, Meen Porichathu, Grilled Fish, Broiled Fish)
Ingredients
Fish Pieces - 1 lb (1/2 kg)
Red Chilly Powder - 3 tsp
Corriander Powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
Pepper Powder - 1/2 tsp
Garlic Powder - 1/2 tsp (or use 1/2 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste)
Curry Leaves - 1 spring (chopped)
Lemon Juice - 1 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Oil - for frying
Method
1. Wash the fish thoroughly and cut it into pieces.
2. Mix the chilly powder, corriander powder, pepper powder, turmeric powder, chopped curry leaves, garlic powder and salt in a bowl.
3. Add the lemon juice and make a smooth spice paste.
4. Apply this paste over the fish pieces. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
5. Shallow fry the pieces till both sides are brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes on each side).

This sounds really good. As long as you don't mess it up I'm sure it will be good  |
