21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Syscoin - Business on the Blockchain - LAUNCHED! on: August 20, 2014, 12:43:50 PM
12 hours left, refund or dev team gets the 1500 btc? Hope a huge buy support at 518 sat when dev team gets the 1500 btc.

why would they? tell me - serious question

Should the Syscoin team fail to make significant verifiable progress, including a fix of the major issues, then Moopay LTD will begin the refund process.

They fixed the major issue Monday. They're just working out a few minor bugs. I don't see any reason why they shouldn't get the money.
22  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NTR Neutrinocoin = Shady Coin on: July 13, 2014, 10:53:49 PM
If you are thinking about investing in NTR, you better do some research first.  This coin is a SHADY freaking coin.  NTR suffers from an unfair launch and distribution. NTR ignored the crypto community and ninja launched the coin with only a PR. A freaking PR! Who the heck surfs PR sites? Was that PR published anywhere else than there? 1 link on 1 crappy PR site is suppose to provide the coin with a fair and honest launch?


I know this thread is a few weeks old now... But I it showed up on google while I was searching for a place to dump some NTR that I mined on multipool. NTR very well could be a shady coin, but I thought I'd post a differing perspective as to why it was a ninja launch, when it shouldn't have been.

If anything I'd say that it's launch points out some flaws in the crypto community. I saw it on the PR wire, so did other people I know.  Many people do read PR wires. Had it offered more than tor connectivity, I probably would have pointed a few rigs at it for a day or two. There's a couple things some should realize. First, the crypto world doesn't always revolve around BCT... I know many crypto people that avoid this site like the plague because half the time it's nothing but a troll fest (also visually/functionally it leaves a lot to be desired). Sometimes this place is extremely helpful, and at other times when it is troll heaven, it does nothing but give the crypto community a black eye. I can honestly see why someone wouldn't want to ANN here due to the often toxicity of this forum. Second, the fact that no crypto news sites picked up on the PR release shows that they have a long way to go as far as being news organizations. All major news outlets and journalists read PR and international news wires daily, if not more often that that. There really is no excuse for not a single crypto news outlet to have not picked up on the launch of this coin.

That doesn't say whether or not this was "truly" fair or not. It could be possible they knew the crypto news organizations were not up to snuff and weren't keeping tabs on PR's, giving them the ability to take advantage of it. But at the same time, it should be a good lesson for crypto news.... Because as crypto becomes more and more mainstream, BCT ann's will become less and less relevant as mainstream people entering the fold use more standard PR and social media launching techniques. Let's face it, for crypto to become more successful, it will have to become more mainstream. When that happens, not every person with a coin, service, product, and more is going to announce it here.

The real issue is not if this coin is or isn't a scam, it will become whatever it will become. But it's really a learning experience that there is still some growing to do with segments of the crypto community, such as news etc.. If these outlets were regularly following PR and News wires... They would have reported on it, and more people would have known about it.
23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MEOW] KittehCoin Relaunch IS HERE!!!! on: May 04, 2014, 07:23:53 PM

Yeah just went onto IRC and it sounds like he has annoyed a lot of the community already with his my way or the highway attitude. TBH I haven't seen him on irc before which is concerning as I have been in there most the day for the last few months. Also he pm'ed me offering me rewards for marketing the coin when I market it for free. This raises the question of how he can find rewards for such a task. This isn't my main concern, my two concerns are his love of multipools (which I hate) and he wants to go Proof-of-Stake instead of Proof-of-Work which will rule out merge mining with dogecoin and others. Overall if these changes go ahead I'll be dumping my coins on the market which will surely crash it.



That's good to hear since you are in the top of the new foundation group. Thanks for standing up for us who want to see a community group operate the coin. I think for sure that if TheMightyX wants to be involved it should be part of your group, not as taking it over. If he takes it over, I'll put my coins on the market as well.

I don't know how you can decide on a new focus without having discussed it with the community or myself (I work on the marketing), personally I've just pulled 5.5 btc buy order for kittehcoin as your approach is not very involving - do you have any credibility/experience to take this coin forward?

From what I saw the folks writing in chat, it looks like he is trying to come in and take over the new foundation that the group has been working on building and setting up for the last month or so.
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MEOW] KittehCoin Relaunch IS HERE!!!! on: May 04, 2014, 05:30:37 PM
This is a slightly nearsighted sentiment.
Those who invested their funds at 60, 80 or even 100 satoshi could not be expected to donate those funds as just to donate $100 to the developers it would cost them $1000-$2000.

I have been pretty vocal several times about what I felt were key issues and roadblocks in kittehs path.
I offered to help strategize a plan of action but was not taken up on the offer. That in itself was disappointing as I believe that there were many forms of action we could have taken. Mergemining was not one of them.

We all have lives to live and other responsibilities so it would be selfish of us to hold it against the team for wanting to move on with their lives and careers. We can't necessarily expect someone to waste their time on something solely for our benefit. As much as we may not like this move, we all need to do whats right for ourselves first.



And who are you? You seem to not have any involvement in kitteh. I know I have never seen you around, and I have been around since before the relaunch...........
26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MEOW] KittehCoin Relaunch IS HERE!!!! on: April 16, 2014, 02:39:56 PM

Merge mining will help a lot with hashrate, so we are focusing on that.
Seeing no return on time invested, and hardly anyone from the community contributing time and/or donations is soul destroying.
Again the main issue we kept hitting was people asking for donation to do stuff. Bit hard to give out when nobody donates ( And big thanks to the few that did ).
As for our own wallets we were/are in the same boat as all the small bagholders. I myself had 7mill mined and bought some at 20sat. And that's about it.

Don't think any of us got 10million+ MEOW from any kind of mining.

We've sunk many many hours into this trying to get back to 100+ but the community needs to take a larger role ala DOGE.
It is the only way a meme coin can be successful.
Hopefully that is what will happen. We are here to help with it as much as possible

You may say this, but for the last few weeks the community has tried to stand up and take over a lot of the tasks. There is a group of the core kitteh supporters on IRC that have tried to do this, but communication from Dano/Dev team has been lacking and holding things up. In a nutshell the community wants to push forward with marketing, planning, leadership etc.... and has for some time... So that Dano only needs to code stuff. But for some reason, they aren't allowed to.

Now with Dano's announcement, it seems as if he has interests in other things.... So I wonder if trying to move this coin forward at this point is even worth the effort.

Mintpal will let in any SCAM coin, if someone pays for the "votes" - simple as that. Cant see any benefit's from being listed there. And certainly do not recommend anyone to buy votes for Kitteh in that page.

Making people pay for votes is a scam and just a money making scheme.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your newest shitcoin... Juggalo Coin on: April 09, 2014, 10:45:00 PM
Interesting to see how it plays out. If successful, it will set a precedent for other subculture-cryptos.

What makes me a little wary is that "Insane Coin Posse" - IPO-like thing, as it's not really necessary, but the page seems to push it. If the dev wanted to have a little bit of compensation for his effort, he could have just cut himself a fraction of the premine and be open about it.

It could very well turn out to be a successful coin if they all adopt it. The juggalo following is strong. I must admit it is hard to take seriously though. Surprised it's SHA-256 and not an scrypt clone. Maybe there will be a market for old asics selling to juggalos.

HAHAHAHA.

33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there a smartphone only mined coin on: February 17, 2014, 04:03:51 AM
Mining on a smartphone is extremely slow and drains the battery VERY fast so I don't think such a coin would be very practical.
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Maxcoin doing so well? on: February 15, 2014, 01:31:19 AM
tons of idiots buying it because they think max will pump it, when they realize hes just a broke shill they will panic sell

I don't think anyone who owns 100,000 bitcoins is a broke shill.
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Tip: 270 "non-x" @ 490Kh/s = 0,33W / Khs on: February 12, 2014, 05:12:22 PM
280X still better price/performance

How is that? the 280x isn't twice as fast yet it costs twice as much.

280x MSRP is around 320 - 350.  So not 2x as much as 270.  Also KH/Watt is better on the 280x than the 270.

Not in the US. Cheapest 280x available at newegg is $499. There are some of the lower clocked 280x's at amazon for $469... vs. 270's @ $200-229

Fuck this  Angry
I'm out of Worldcoin, permanently  Angry

Is there any reason to even support this coin instead of another one at this point??

Nope. This coin has a lot of bad history. This action by folks trying to save it is probably people with a lot of worldcoin. It has nothing special that any other coin couldn't match or exceed. All it has is a fancy name and a community that has dwindled to a small size over the last couple of months.
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MEOW] KittehCoin Relaunch Plan w/ exact times, gonna be a wild week MEOW! on: February 03, 2014, 07:08:41 PM
Since there is clear concern over kittehcoinpool.com let me say this one last thing just to clear the air:
  • The wallet is safe, only myself and Lonestar108 have access. Its just chilling at the moment.
  • Lonestar108 is committed to restoring the pool, even if its just to payout everyone then shut it down for good.
  • Lonestar108 is blocked by his hosting provider at the moment, and he is the best person to reach out to if you're looking for specifics/timelines
You'll get your coins. Now back to the relaunch!

Thanks for the clarification Dano!
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MEOW] KittehCoin Relaunch Plan w/ exact times, gonna be a wild week MEOW! on: February 03, 2014, 04:36:40 PM
Aye, we spent all those hours and hard work so we could take 2 mill coins (or whatever the figure is)..
Makes sense.
Really can we just drop this for time being, I am sure it will be resolved shortly. Its all just FUD.

Why drop it, it's a great place to sort it out because it's more official here and many people are worried about it. It gives a place for those who are having issues to state them and a place for the dev team to clarify. It's not a big problem once the people involved have straightened it out. I didn't mine on the problem pool, but when lots of people are talking about it and putting it into relation with the devs... It puts a bad taste in the stomach of those who hold a fair bit of the coin or who may be looking at purchasing some. As we've seen below, it turns out it's probably not dano's pool, but he got involved to help. Now people can sleep sound at night. But before I mentioned it here and asked for the straight and narrow on it, the issue was getting out of control because people were supposedly not getting answers from Dano on it after asking him. It's best for the coin's community to investigate and find out what is really going on.

http://kittehcoin.info/forums/general-%28non-client%29-meow-talk/kittehcoinpool-com-is-down/      ->from this message I understand that on a certain time after the incident somebody from the team "had" the wallet and it was being moved, danoshpere answered me on Irc that he is not in charge of the pool and tried to help "lonestar". So the pool operator is "lonestar". Ok I understand that, no direct link to the official team, cool. But it seems at a certain moment in time, somebody had the access to the wallet and was moving it, couldn`t they just make what nosf009 suggested and send the coins so people will have no worries. I repeat it is not about the coins, their current value is 4$. But these kind of things keep me thinking that what if in the future some minor or maybe major issues arise, and the people, the "clients" , the ones that are the bread and butter of a coin will be treated with the same attitude that they don`t even deserve minor "attention". Just saying, no need for people to get defensive, I understand everybody is busy with relaunch, that is why I wished and wish you the best of luck for the realization of your plans. I ignored the problem 2, 3 ,4 ,5 days in a row... it is 1 week and 2 days for me(because of timezone). Sometimes you need somebody to take initiative amd complain to get things fired on and maybe resolved so we can all continue to work for the benefit of the community and for the coin`s progress. Wish you all the best on keeping track of your roadmap.

Perfectly said.
