Why is there no explanation from the devs here on testnet delay? Is DECENT a scam coin?

Do not prematurely call developers scammers, they are public people and will not expose themselves to the risk of being attracted for illegal actions.
I'd be surprised they were scammers. I do not think so. They have all good guys' faces and they have been doing an excellent job.

I imagine that they would have been delayed and little more but could have warned the general public.

Possibly and hopefully tomorrow they will say something about it.

DECENT is backed by legend team so that I don't think there is something wrong with this delay. Most likely there will be some bugs as usually appear in big projects. Soon we will get access to testnet.

You guys are right. They have nice face pictures and a legend team and that gives strong assurance that they wont run with 5000BTC  Roll Eyes

Lets wait for their explanation. Unfortunately in the world of crypto, there are very little things that can give confidence in a coin and dev team and give trust that a dev team exist. Delivery on a commitment is on of those key things and non-delivery erodes that little bit of trust they have at their disposal. If that was important to the dev team, they would have posted something here by now.

A lot of people lost their money with the recent rise and fall of Boolberry. What caused the price to go up so suddenly?

Price steady at around 18,000. Quite impressive considering the drop in other coins as BTC rises. I expect people will begin to pile into ICN as BTC stabilizes.

Is price of an investment not the present value of future earnings? Is 18k the answer that people give to that calculation? If this is so, it means that people don't have much hope of future earnings. Maybe the unknown elements and the high risk factor used to do the calculation is so high it brings the answer way down.

I saw something about an exchange asking clarity from a regulator about interpretation of certain regulations. I wonder if that is related to the Iconomi issue.

post a link, otherwise your 4 posts user can be considered as spam


Dont be so mean Smiley

I just had to remember where I read it so here is the link. Reading it again I think it is not related but perhaps if they do it for this, then they have done / could do similar requests to clarify the position of regulations that apply to virtual currencies that have reward systems, and perhaps requesting exemption of regulations in certain cases.

Will the content distributor be paid with DCT when people buys his content or can he be paid by any means?

I probably do not know that much compared to the many more knowledgeable and learned people around here. I am looking at Ethereum and have a few questions after my analysis. Firstly, I think that the eth development team needs to be congratulated on creating a wonderful product that will add value to business in general. In my analysis I would like to separate distinctly the two matters of price/volume/circulation and the value/use of the blockchain services.

I looked at the Poloniex exchange and see that eth has insane volumes. I also looked at the explorer and saw that there are 77m coins in circulation. Lastly I looked at the depth chart on Poloniex and note that at the point of writing, at the arbitrarily chosen 165,000 satoshi price point there are 711,000 odd eth buy orders for 11,800 odd bitcoins.

I have the following questions about this:

1. I dont see eth coins being used anywhere for purchases. What is driving the demand? I can understand that the blockchain services is adding tremendous value to business but what is the relationship of that with the price and volume of the coin? It is one thing if the blockchain is being used by business but I am trying to understand the demand side from a sustainability point of view.
2. Compared to other coins if I do the same analysis it seems that eth is way off the chart to the right meaning that the price/volume/coins-in-circulation ratios are way off. My question is then, is there a risk that the current price increase could be a manipulation to create a deep buy order book for the most epic selloff of all time? I ask this since there are accounts with very large balances and 711,000 coins would not really damage those accounts. Alternatively, with the volume increase over the last month or two, 711,000 coins could have been accumulated for sudden release. Ethics and rationality could prevent something like this though but what about large number of bitcoins in the hands of less ethical persons that could make another 11,800 bitcoins?
3. How long will this price increase carry on and what might the buy order book look like in another month or two?
4. What would the impact be to the stability/trust of the virtual currency environment if this would happen?
5. The abnormal ratios do not seem natural. Am I just being paranoid and seeing ghosts that do not exit? Should I just go ahead, ignore the little voice and get into eth now?

I would appreciate feedback on these issues and if I am on the wrong track with the analysis please say so and why.

Any basic necessities. Especially fuel and food. The big driver for demand for virtual coins is it being used for things to buy and basic necessities will create the biggest and most widespread use.
