De Belgische pers (en vooral het Nieuwsbald voor zo ver ik weet) springen er goed op. Ze kraken bitcoin af als onveilig en gevaarlijk. Vooral dit punt wordt benadrukt:

Ik vraag mij dan wel af hoe bankplatformen (ook digitaal en hackbaar niet waar?) geen risico's meebrengen.

Daar zwijgt men inderdaad over, terwijl een snelle zoektocht gelijk de volgende resultaten geeft:

Wanneer komt er een waarschuwing voor banken en euro's? Waarbij de waarde sowieso van je gestolen word zonder dat er ook maar een hacker op het toneel verschijnt.

Waarom zou de nationale bank gaan waarschuwen voor banken?
Dat is onze taak  Grin
Tijd dan maar om een perscommuniqué te gaan schrijven.  Tongue

Just as small as they've always been. Don't think they can shrink them more here. Tongue

I prefer Burger King, bigger burgers and better taste.

I just don't get it, their are so many better ways of making bitcoins and yet people still are going to copy the exchange model over and over. Today I have seen 2 post on Odesk for virtual coin exchanges. Like come on guys we need creative people not 1000000 exchanges that do the same thing.
That's exactly what we need, millions of exchanges that do the same thing!

The reason is simple, taking down one exchange is easy, taking down millions is not.
But we need a way those exchanges are linked together, because millions of exchanges without liquidity are useless.

Sorry guys, looks I broke something again ....  Cry

Apparently 100,000,000,000 is too big of a number for coins.

"I was just trying to recreate DOGE .... *slinks away*"

(Wow, how many bugfixes did I cause in github today? lol)
We should all thank you, better to break things now when there is still a disclaimer and everybody knows it is still alpha software and these things are expected.
Thanks Wink

I burn 1BTC which is included in block 280513, next block the whole thing is down. I can't show up anywhere.  Tongue

But probably everyone has it, yes.
There are no transactions after block 280514: http://www.blockscan.com/

I'm disappointed in you guys, expected this as the first reply, not the 3th.

Bitcointalk isn't what it used to be. Sad

I agree with OP though

See some posts above, I ordered the same game on jan 8th, still nothing.
Delivery time at the moment seems 5+ days and counting.  Sad

Almost 4 days now and didn't receive my code yet, seems like he didn't became faster, something I really hoped for.

Like Gweedo mentioned, make it clearly visible how long someone should expect to wait, something like:

in stock (delivery <24h) -> sending the code could be done automatically
not in stock (delivery 1-3 days)

If it's not in stock, it's pretty easy to buy these codes instantly for less, so 3 days seems enough to get them. But I guess if it's clearly mentioned it could take up to 5 days, people won't complain either.
But get rid of this:
Quote
Most games are delivered within 1 hour, but please allow up to 24 hours for delivery.

If I didn't read this topic first, I would have assumed to get my game within an hour, or if I have really bad luck it could take 24h max.
Not 4 days waiting and still nothing.

And get rid of this in your mail:
Quote
If you have any questions, reply to this email!

Or even better, keep it there and actually answer those questions. Tongue

I don't want to be that irritating complaining customer, but I really think that you should do something about this. Most people will just use their creditcard, buy the game (cheaper if they look around) and get the game instantly. Instead of buying it from steambits, where it takes days and you don't get any customer support. Embarrassed

Is there some way to audit how much Fuserleer create for himself, his friends etc.? Fully anonymous system? That means no way for independent checking? How can outsiders know how much of that declared presale investment is just an excuse to create emunies for himself to stash away.

Anyway, when will the whitepaper with lots of details come out? It was supposed to be some time ago.

There will be publicly available information on all the pre-launch investments made, and the amount of eMu.

There will also be a block explorer of such, so with that in mind, ANYONE can cross check that the amount of invested is equal (or close to save for tester bonuses and rounding) to amount of eMu created.

I CAN NOT create additional eMu after the genesis block and wallets, that is governed and controlled by the supply algorithms and is distributed to balance holders and hatchers as per the rules of the system (which have been documented in various threads over and over).

I'm not even bothering to answer eMules FUD.

And how should we review that what you are saying is true? Where do we see those algo's?

I would be compromising if Fuserleer could create coins for himself but I don't think he would do that mistake.
Ow ok, now it seems safe, where can I preorder those eMunies? Superresistant thinks Fuseleer wouldn't do something like that. Who needs proof when someone on the internet thinks something? right?  Cheesy
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: eMunie Beta Test on: January 10, 2014, 05:56:31 PM
chuckles...

Now I am supposed to not call people cock suckers so I wont...

@skull88 http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/scam go read this. I also wont bother pointing out the irony of how many closed source technologies you are using to post your archaic responses to a internet based forum.
Looking at that link. Yes, eMunie fits the bill. Thanks.

I use opensource were possible, never said I never used anything closed source.
I may hope you aren't that stupid not to see why a decentralized cryptocurrency needs to be opensource?

A presale is a presale no matter what kind of nice story the dev made up and all the talk doesn't chance the fact it is closed source.

So the ripple source gets released and within 48 hours a clone in development is announced. I wonder why eMunie is going to be closed source for a while?  Huh
Does that matter?
Bitcoin is cloned, Litecoin is cloned, Ripple is cloned

What does coinmarketcap say:
1 Bitcoin
2 Ripples
3 Litecoin

I think a clone would be less damaging for eMunie than keeping it closed source.

It would matter if you just got done pouring a year of your life into creating it. You sir, must not be a programmer.

No, it wouldn't matter me a tiny bit. You think Satoshi created Bitcoin in a day? You think the folks spending years working on Debian are mad at Canonical for making Ubuntu or Canonical at the Mint devs?
Have you seen how SunnyKing takes it when his coins are used to build a new one? I'm sure he also spends some time creating his coins.  

Yes, bitcoin and litecoin were out long before the crypto scene started to rise - so there was little to no incentive at all to even create a clone.
Since the rise of crypto there is a great reason as to why to clone a coin.

As stated many times by Fuserleer, the source will be released a few months after launch. This is to ensure that eMunie does retain a proper place before people do start cloning.

Think of it like this: Bitcoin is released and then 50 other coins the day after. Why would you pick bitcoin? no reason if you ask me..


Regarding the pre-sale, you can keep on ranting that pre-sale is pre-sale and what ever you want.
Every coin holds bounties, every coin needs a strong dev team. I don't believe the dev teams (on any coin) need to work for free, since they are giving service to all of us.

The pre-sale is just that, this is money that goes into the foundation, the foundation has many roles some of them to promote the coin via bounties on projects people do or commercials.
Besides that also to pay the active developers for their hard work. And in the case of eMu also retains part of the pre-sale to cushion the price-drops should they arise.


...


Just reading on Bitcointalk won't give you enough information in my opinion. You should go over to the official eMu forums, you should ask to join the beta testers on the official thread - and then you might get a glimpse of what eMu is really about.

Because people will not choose a mere copy over the original, why choose the copy with a crappy dev if you can use the original with a good dev team behind it?
When Litecoin came out, we already had many alts like ixcoin, i0coin, Tenebrix, Solidcoin, Geist Geld and many followed. And even with 50 new copy-paste coinreleases a day like we are seeing now, an innovating coin with a good developer behind it will stand out an will be used. It's a crappy excuse not to release the sources from the beginning imo, the result is people can't review it and it won't attract devs to help improve it.

How do you expect people to trust the software if nobody can review it? People pay for these coins, it holds value, and we got to trust one person? One guy that controls it? What happens if Fuseleer gets hit by a bus? Who will continue his work? Nobody, because nobody has the source.

Every other successful coin did this without a presale, and cushion the price-drops? At least they're honest about price manipulation. Cheesy
But you're right when you say a dev can be paid, not every dev needs to be like Sunny who even rejects donations. But it would have been a better practice to just ask for donations, because that presale essentially needs a premine. And every premine is used as an excuse for all the things you've mentioned, if that would be something smart to do, we would now use Tenebrix instead of Litecoin. And how much does Fuseleer get? Actually we can't know, he can give himself as much coins as he wants, nobody can check it.

I'm not only reading on Bitcointalk, like I already mentioned.

Some of the emunie supporter accounts seem pretty fresh. Did they join the emunie project before having an account here or do they find it embarrassing to shill with their main account but are under peer pressure to do it?  Wink

And it's weird to see them only talking about eMunie on a Bitcoin forum, they don't seems very interested in Bitcoin or another alt except when emunie pops up in a topic.  Cheesy

It's a scam, closed source and coins are sold before the client is released.


Your post shows that you have put in no time at all researching what emunie actually is, or why there is a pre-sale. If you'd like to educate yourself before your next post, I suggest you go to our forums and have a good read. emunie is a complex subject and shouldn't be written off based on ignorance.

You do emunie, and yourself a great disservice by doing so.
I did, that's why I came to the conclusion it is scamcoin2.0.

A presale is a presale no matter what kind of nice story the dev made up and all the talk doesn't chance the fact it is closed source.
