21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is DASH a better alternative to Bitcoin? on: July 23, 2015, 02:46:24 PM
Dash won't be a better alternative to bitcoin. It was a coin launched with $$ in mind from day 1. I just don't trust it.

I hate to say this because of all the annoying as shit xmr posts, but fundamentally, monero is a superior anon currency... as shitty and as clunky as it is to use currently. Fundamentals win in the long term.

(Maybe not monero, but some other coin which anonymity is guaranteed by math and not by external supervisors.)

Vaporcoins are not for sale yet. Wait for "release".

How to destroy NEM?

Just wait a while...

It is the best performing release of 2015 and big things are happening.


Are you... are you a bot?

As much as I like dogecoin, I think it has already reached most if not all of it's intended demographic: young crypto enthusiasts hyped by a meme. How much more beyond that can it go? No serious institutional investor would even consider something like this.

All it is is a joke-ish copy of bitcoin... a pretty cool one, but definitely something which will slowly disappear.
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] Is NEM really that GOOD ???? on: May 05, 2015, 02:57:06 PM
Yes it is very good software, you can tell they have worked a very long time on it.

Confirmed. The source is beautiful.
26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [NXT] Vitalik B. confirms the NXT algo is secure. on: April 08, 2015, 06:05:36 PM

Wait for peer review (at least in the community). There's this weird reverence towards certain individuals in this community from people who don't understand shit. Let the experts evaluate and criticize and withhold your opinion until something reaches some sort of expert consensus.

Everyone now-days in crypto see a fucking PDF paper in academic format and treat it like a fucking bible. Speaking from a scientific background I've seen plenty of beautiful looking papers which 'look' like they got a lot of good stuff to say only to be complete and utter bullshit. Too bad this isn't my field of expertise.

No scientist's paper is worth shit unless its been "peer reviewed", which means a big gang of experts all need to have checked it out and agreed with it before it gets published. Most scientific journals are peer reviewed and all the papers in them have been checked by a gang of experts beforehand. We need more experts to check out NXT.

What about white papers? Are they typically peer reviewed? I know it's good practice to peer review academic papers published in journals (which is what this one seems to be minus the journal part) but what about white papers?


What about whitepapers? Especially whitepapers! Everything needs to go through a bullshit filter. Right now, this community is young, so it will take some time to build up a bunch of experts with actual achievements to back up their criticisms. Until then, I wouldn't be so on-board with believing the first positive thing you hear about your favorite coin.
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [NXT] Vitalik B. confirms the NXT algo is secure. on: April 07, 2015, 04:28:33 PM
What I meant was a bit more meta than just evaluating NXT directly. In fact, it's evaluating the evaluation... So someone to criticize Vitalik's paper, either in a good way or bad way is the way to go here. As the community evolves, I hope we will have more of this in the future.

Just saying that unconditional 'trust' is especially bad and goes against the whole concept of decentralized currencies. While Vitalik's opinion might be more informed or relevant than another's, it should still be met with the same criticism as a new opinion.

What happened here is that some unqualified people just took their favorite part from the paper and present it as FACT.

OP, you wanna know why this post is stupid? Really obvious, here goes:

     No one here wants to make you money.

Ok, that being said we know you're going to set up a P & D group where you minions pump the coin that you've already bought pre-pump. Thus, best case scenario, the pump works and you and some of your minions gain some money (you mostly). If the pump fails, your minions lose money, but you still might gain or be even, as you've bought so early.

Unless you have some "fair" announcement system where it's unknown to EVERYONE in the group (including you), you HAVE to be able to understand why no one here on the anonymous fucking internet will participate.

Also,

After trading for a week...

lol.

So you're paying 25% of all BTC generated daily by the entire hashing power of the world... per GH? I'm missing something.

I don't see a link between any of these transaction and Satoshi's old known wallets.

Nice pump. Not a bad coin, but dump is imminent.
33  Economy / Economics / Re: destroying bitcoins on: March 25, 2015, 08:24:43 PM
Since the bitcoinprice decreased a lot last year I would like to destroy some bitcoins.
Destroying some bitcoins can have a serious positive impact on the price
If every human being could destroy 0.001 BTC we would half the amount of bitcoins in circulation, increasing the price of bitcoin in compare to other currencies.
But every satoshi could help a bit... This is the best way to support bitcoin

The private key of this wallet is lost (on purpose) and those bitcoins will never be able to get out of this wallet (or heaven?  Cheesy )

People who helped destroy bitcoins to raise the btc-price:
leen93 : 10.000 satoshis



FIRST GOAL TO REACH : 100.000 satoshi

Scammy as fuck. I guarantee you with 100% certainty that YOU own that BTC address which you posted. Stop trying to scam noobs.

Nice advertisement for your shitcoin. If it's only feature is making money for some pump and dump nerds then it truly is confimed 100% useless and doesn't belong on these forums. Go make a subreddit and circle jerk about your nakamoto fantasies there.
35  Economy / Speculation / Re: 7 Transactions per second limit dragging down the price on: January 12, 2015, 03:44:33 PM
That's not why the price is down. We're nowhere near that limit at the moment. Let the market do its thing. Why can't you people realize that price moving down doesn't always have to indicate something "wrong" or negative... it's just simply the trend right now. Stop trying to fight the trend. Try this:

1. Establish a trend.
2. Make money off the trend.
3. Stop when you see a reversal.
4. Repeat.

If you want an explanation why the current trend is happening consider that the ATH price was bullshit, it was hyperinflated by all the shady business going on a Mt. Gox with the Willy trade bot and the China hype. The price never was supposed to be that high in the first place. What the hell do you people expect when you have a 100x increase in price in a single year...




Ok rant over. Yes we should consider fixing the 7 transaction per second limit, perhaps in time for when it's ACTUALLY a problem.

"High frequency"? So you must be co-located with all of the exchanges?
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: OneCoin-The New CryptoCurrency That Will OverPass Bitcoin on: December 01, 2014, 03:44:23 PM
After a big part of OneCoins are mined by the network the mining will go open-source. Otherwise it wouldn`t be corect for the network.

Not a scamTM
