Dear users,

I have some news: I still have 17 slots open for the Public Beta, then the target of 50 users is reached.

The next newsletter (it'll be sent in about 11 hours, at 5:00am GMT+1) will give you some imho very interesting details about where all this is going. My opening text in the newsletter will talk about two essential features I have put a lot of time into their development. In a short summary, those features (development not yet finished, but I'm positive to include them while the Public Beta is still running) are:

• a formula to determine the "intrinsic" value of a coin, so you'll have an idea about whether the coin you're about to buy is over- or underpriced, or if the value is realistic
• determining the social value of a coin

Both are described in detail in the newsletter, and I'd love to have some more of you trying my service and getting an idea about where all this is going. So, if you're curious and want to find out if this newsletter is of any value to you, you're invited to register at http://bitshit.shice.info/


Best regards,
Thomas - allyouracid.

From the original post:
Yeah, for sure. We're with you. :>

Nice

To those who signed up: it is possible that the mail is landing in your spam folder, so if you don't see it in your inbox within 3.5 hours (that's when the cronjob creates the images of the charts and auto sends the newsletter), maybe have a look there and remove the spam tag, then it should appear in your regular inbox the following times it is sent.
I'm currently about to investigate the issue to sort it out until the service goes public.

If nothing helps, please have me a meagre and I'm more than happy to forward you the message manually.

Best regards.
Thomas.

OMG, this is the very worst thing that can happen: deciding to open a service to the public, committing some changes, forgetting to check one of them and breaking the very essential part: the registration.

It's fixed now, registrations should work. Thank you very much for your feedback.
Sorry for the inconvenience.


And, thanks for the kind words, knightlife999.

Hey guys,

Notice: scroll down a bit in this post to see the current developments

I have spent the last 6 months developing a website/application (http://bitshit.shice.info/) which deals with Altcoins. I have a lot of features in planning (and development) to give my users a brief overview about the market (currently only Bittrex, but other APIs are about to be included as well).

Here is a set of current features:

• current main feature: a newsletter which is sent daily at ~5am (GMT+1) with an overview about top performing coins and hints on coins which might see some action
• I'm collecting price and volume data and save it to my database, so my charts represent 1 day bars/lines with price and volume of each day (max. 25 days in the newsletter for the top 10 coins)
• on the website, you can explore way more historical price/volume data for all coins on Bittrex
• I have richlists implemented where you can follow the wallets of certain coins for larger movements
• there are also charts for the top wallets, and a future version should include a subscribable, separate newsletter which either sends a daily report about wallets that have moved big amounts or sends directly when this happened (useful if huge amounts suddenly move e.g. to an exchange, so you can sell coins prior to an expected dump)
  

A lot of additional features are in the making, and they will be added in the coming weeks and months.


However, I'm searching for some beta testers who are willing to test the newsletter, because the the Open Beta will start soon.
If you are interested, please register an account on http://bitshit.shice.info/ (you can login directly, you won't receive a confirmation email) and go to "Account settings -> Features -> Premium Features" and enable the switch for "Daily Coin Report". You can safely ignore the prices, as the Beta phase will be totally free of course.


For those concerned about their security: some details about the project:

• it's build with TYPO3.Flow, a secure PHP framework maintained by an active, big community
• your passwords are safe: they're stored in database with multiple layers of encryption, so even for me, it's not possible to retrieve your passwords
• if you lose your password anyway, you can request a new one by entering your email address on the login page and click the "Forgot Password" link

Public release should start on Jun 1st, until then (maybe I'll implement this today), I'll have an imprint with all information about the website owner (me) which is required on a website.
If you want, you can check the domain using any whois tool. The information you'll find there is mine - no anon service or anything that leaves a bad impression.


Please keep in mind that this project is still in development. You're welcome to explore it, anyway, but for the moment, the main focus is on the newsletter.
Questions? Welcome!

Best regards,
Thomas F. a.k.a. allyouracid

News from 2015-03-02:
Included visual representation of a coin's current "social value" into the charts. This way, you can always see how much a coin is being tweeted about on Twitter. For more information, see my recent post about the current development status.
Ten slots are still open for the beta phase. Please consider a registration at http://bitshit.shice.info/

You, sir, are delusional.

You made (or tried to make) money off of peoples backs, knowing that at the end someone will hold a bag. This is immoral, and the cute packaging of your story does not change this at all. And now, you're using euphemisms like "charity" to make the community pay because your scam didn't work out well for you? Come on, show some balls. Get a fucking job.

…and you cannot do physical work because you're lacking hands or feet?
Just get your crap together, apply for a job at a local fastfood restaurant where you have a guarantee of being paid, work for a month or two and you're done. Are you a man or are you a child?

If he's stepping away from that "signature campaign" bollocks, it's not going to be hard. It's one month of work.
However, I have a hard time taking someone for serious who says he is willing to pay back scammed customers, but refuses to take his own money or to do actual work to pay them back.

I guess they're US American accounts? Being from Germany, I'd need a proxy, right?
If your time allows for it, I'd be happy to have one. Just for testing purposes.

Yeah, because coders don't need to eat, drink and feed their families. They can solely live from love, sunshine and fresh air.
Man, that's a little more than 50 bucks.
This attitude is so annoying.

Hello community,

this is the very first time I'm offering something on BCT: I have preordered the domain "fucking.money".
I don't know if there is any interest in it, but as I don't have any use for it yet, I'm offering it here for sale. I have the opportunity to make this preorder legally binding until Jan 28th, and the preorder took place at http://united-domains.de/

If anyone is interested, just leave me a reply or contact me via private message. If there is no interest in the domain, I'll keep it and think about what content I can put on it. I'm sure it'll be something Bitcoin related.


Escrow? Of course! I am new to selling things here, and others probably don't want to get screwed over as much as I don't want to.
I know some trustworthy members here, but I'm okay with the potential buyer chosing an escrow service - as long as it isn't a newbie account with -20 negative trust. Escrow should have proven to be reliable in the past and have done escrows, of course.

So, if anyone is interested… just go ahead. Questions are welcome.

A signature campaign? Wtf?

You seriously do not see any other way than joining a signature campaign to pay your investors back? I cannot believe it. It's the signature campaign's fault…? 
If I ever owed someone money, or if I told my health insurance that they have to wait for their money because "I cannot join a signature campaign on bitcointalk right now" - how would they react?

Just take some 10% of your paycheck and pay back investors slowly. If you don't have a paycheck because you're unemployed, go to freakin Mc Donalds, work there for several weeks and you're done. They take everyone. The job is shitty, but if you're honest in your intentions, it'll do fine for that purpose.

But stop that "signature campaign" bullshit, please.

2015-10-20 - Updates

I have spent a lot of time with development in the recent weeks/months. There are some new features, the biggest of them is for sure the newsletter which I almost finished (see screenshot below).
If everything goes well, I will be starting a three months open beta on March 1st. I'm planning on 5-20 free slots for beta testers who are willing to receive the newsletter for free and test the features on the website. Users who are generally interested can reply in this thread and tell me - if not all slots are already full before the open beta starts, I will announce it here, again.

For now, you're invited to have a look at the newsletter image and see if it might be useful for you. I think the charts and tables should be pretty much self explanatory. Though if they aren't, you're welcome to ask me questions of whatever kind.

• Lots of charts added for coins on Bittrex
• implemented cryptoId.info's API to monitor coins/wallets for large movements

Newsletter (2015-01-10):

I don't know what of this is true, but even if you were actually sockpuppeting (does this word even exist? ^^), such behavior ("be careful what you say because I have the power to destroy your reputation") is highly unprofessional for any kind of service.
That this hashie clown now moves on to bother his scammed customers with some annoying internet game, playing the victim instead of taking care of refundings just puts a crown on top of all this.

I really hate it that so many subversive objects use this great idea of crypto to enrich themselves, not giving a single shit about the idea, the concept they're misusing.
But I guess that's what we have to live with. Marauders are where the money is. Sad but true.

This is actually quite an alarm bell. Sadly only for those who know a bit about web development and usual procedures which legit companies always implement:
- legit companies have a daily backup of their databases for exactly such cases
- legit companies have a high interest to put up a SQL query to retrieve and restore the "accidentally deleted" referrals from a backup to satisfy their customers

I am really thinking about opening and promoting a thread here on BCT which should help users identifying possible scams based on (technical) replies they got from the site/company in question. It's just impossible to expect every layman to know what replies/excuses are just utter bullshit, or at least arise a high suspicion that the site/company in question might be scam or at least not experienced enough to put up a web service.
Really, I had a lot of cases where I read replies which made my alarm bells ring. To give some examples: this one here, or the blocknet scam, or (an example of a totally inexperienced user who definitely should not set up an online crypto exchange): OpenEx.

People should have the opportunity to report sites to some voluntary web developers who are willing to take a look at the services or excuses/replies from those services. Maybe this can help make crypto a better place and prevent one or another loss, if possible.


I know this reply will vanish with time, but if anyone lacks technical knowledge and could use some help to check if they're being bullshitted by a service: drop me a PM and I'll help where I can.

You don't really think anyone goes to jail for this, do you?
Although it would be somewhat funny, they'll probably get a money fine at maximum.

Btw, Bobo, if you're still reading here: what did you say you have? 1kk in land, 400k in cars, and some 10k bucks in gold? That's it?
1kk brings you an ordinary house, here. And I have never seen any of my neighbors bragging that much about their houses, lol.

It sounds a bit like ARCH (the other one of the few legit Altcoins out there): for a certain amount of coins, you get exclusive access to valuable information. I like the concept, would be great to hear a bit more about that!

A fresh wind, blowing away all those coins which are generated to promise (and not keep) features to scoop people's hard earned money off of them. Time for a change.

Stupid me. And I thought it was from the bagholders. ^^

Just as a - more or less - rhethirocal question: whee does all that money come from that you all make?

If you'd first take a shower and THEN look into the mirror, your judgement would probably have been a better one.

Btw, the coin is performing pretty good on c-cex.com - hope to see it on Bittrex, soon!
