2001  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should Monero run an ICO? on: June 18, 2016, 05:17:47 AM

I would listen to Spoetnik if I were you.


~BCX~





BCX, your rep was shot a year ago with your failed "timewarp" attack and now you're trusting a satoshi stealing coder and technically vacuous weatherman for your revenge? Here's a hint: JohnConnor starts fights he can't finish with FOSS projects (Monero, Bitcoin) in an attempt to glean their reputation by saying "See, the projects with good developers are fighting me, so I must be legit? Right?" Wrong--it would help if he didn't start the fights and run off when he's proved to be wrong. And sputz, well he was recently called out for not being able to explain why Eth will fail--saying every coin is a scam is like saying the weather in San Diego will be sunny tomorrow. Everyone knows that 98% of these coins are shit, so saying any of them are is playing the probabilities. It will be impressive when he provides some technical analysis to go along with the fail claim, much like roach, smooth, anonymint and fluffypony did for Etherem--even you managed to provide a link somewhere to why Eth would fail--your buddy didn't even manage that. It's like the saying goes, "It's better to have smart enemies than dumb friends." Maybe if you hang around anonymint and smooth more, you might up your game instead of little political gamesmanship of death by association. IE. You tried to associate Monero to a few failed projects (that highlight how Monero's design isn't like any of those failed projects) and I just associated you to a moron and a conman--if you spent some time on it, you might figure out which one is which. Good luck.

Corruption most foul by middle aged scammers

The monero community everybody!

Shame. Shame.

Read the post directly above stoat's.

Stoat is full of shit!

Sad. Sad.

(I get dislike and even hate between coins and communities, but lying? And right underneath the person-who-would-know-best's statement to the contrary? Are you stupid or do you think we are, stoat? Maybe it's a literacy thing? If that's the case, I can tutor you and improve your reading comprehension.)

Suck a fuck you fat scamming bastard.


I have a 32 inch waist, have never scammed anyone, and have had my parents in my life up until my father passed away--so it seems you are factually challenged in general. Still checking to see how you "suck a fuck?" Is that a regional expression for "sucking at fucking" or "sucking someone who fucks"?
2005  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Smooth a Hypocrite ? on: June 16, 2016, 09:32:43 AM
I see steem as equally as bad as dash.

If steem were to captive instamine as dash did and not be branded with exactly the same brush they should have kept a full transparent ledger of their instamine and how it is getting paid out to posters on steemit.

Both are as bad as each other. If you don't like what one did it is impossible to like the other.

I have not seen smooth promote steem myself and he did say he though the start was very unfair (even though yes it was honestly unfair to a degree that does not make it any better). I have always found him to be rather honest and up front in the past over things. However yes I would think he should not approve of steem in its current form.

If steem has a full ledger for every instamined coin that would be different but until they do they are no better than dash. You could argue evans has hung around working and using his premine stash too.



Is steem claiming "No premine, fairly and transparently launched"? If they aren't making these claims, and are open and upfront about what they did, then they are not similar to dash in the respect to truth in advertising--one is the guy who is ridiculously jacked and admits to steroids and another guy who is ridiculously jacked and claims he never ever used performance enhancing drugs; one is a juicer and the other is a juicer and a liar.

2007  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is VCash the most scalable crypto around? on: June 15, 2016, 08:57:27 AM
Action. Like the 1000 shitcoins that came before and died. And Vcash is apparently not entirely launched yet.

Yes you are welcome to hump any random garbage can along the side of the road. That is a form of action. Again I pity you.

Vcash is in beta sure but damn guy you don't have be to rude. Sure we have different views no need to get hostile and start insulting others for it.     

So you insult the guy by saying he is all talk (mind you, in an attempt to deflect from valid concerns) and then you pull the "stop being mean" card? Like shill, like dev.

You can give detailed answer/retort anytime to as why v-cash can or can't scale--and if you don't understand the code enough, that leads to a bigger question, "you want us to buy something you don't understand or can't vouch for with a technical explanation?" Yikes.
2008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is VCash the most scalable crypto around? on: June 15, 2016, 08:00:50 AM
Unless someone responds to Fuserleers points, this thread just looks like someone trying to pump Vcash, then lacking the knowledge to respond to legitimate points raised.

I do know that Vcash can be moved around quickly, it seems like it could actually work as a currency (if people actually accepted it, which they probably never will) but I thought that the scalability came from centralization, i.e off chain transactions.

In all honesty the Vcash project moves fast. It's only a year and half old and has evolved quite a bit since genesis. Because of Johns rapid pace of development on the Vcash project we (the community) are consistently trying to play ketchup[/b}understanding his technology and architecture. It's a learning process for us and much as it is for you. We are only human and that takes time. Unfortunately the very people like Fuserleer who could take a deeper look into John's code is unwilling. So what more to discuss? His mind is made up already and who are we to tell him he's wrong?

A noteworthy fact is Poloniex a reputable crypto exchange (I think we can all agree) has done a code audit on Vcash and to their satisfaction has allowed XVC to be accepted in one single confirmation (deposit/withdraw). That should signal that Vcash is uniquely different. Bitcoin is the only other coin that's granted a single confirmation. That notable feat considering how many coins are trading on poloniex.      



I think you've put too much ketchup on John's sausage, maybe you should stop before you choke. Your sincere lack of details is as repulsive as your constant salivating over this guy's imaginary coding skills.
2009  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is VCash the most scalable crypto around? on: June 15, 2016, 06:44:56 AM
 
The skills of John Connor are beginning to scare me a bit, even compared to things like Ethereum.

I'm scared of him too--is it true that he came from the future to tell Monero Devs about a bug they fixed in the past? Talk about bending the time/logic continuum.

Anyone from V-land want to dig into what Fuserleer and not-anonmint have said about the topic of scalability--or is this anbother noob-trap that refuses to talk honestly and openly about what the technology can and can't do?

"How anonymous is DASH's "darksend mixing" actually?"

Listen to the developer of dash himself (~min 1:50)

Until dash implements an end-to-end method for privacy, this will be the case.

2013  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin maximalism be defeated in the reality of adoption? on: June 11, 2016, 11:03:47 AM
Dropping Bitcoin and moving to another coin would be a massive thing.
No other coin is used like BTC when it comes to real world adoption with retailers etc.
Are we to think they will all simply drop their support for BTC and replace it with an Altcoin ?

That is not my plan to replace Bitcoin for what it is already used for. Bitcoin will continue for its small $9 billion "lunch money" demographic.

Bitcoin is not capturing the instant microtransactions demographic. There are not retailers who offer instant microtransactions using Bitcoin. Lightning Network is coming but it is flawed and won't scale quickly. LN is something like two years away from starting to really take hold. And even then it won't scale to millions of users without being centralized due to the technical issues around network topography and the surge load on the Bitcoin block chain has to be as high as the transaction load on LN.

This is an entirely new market. Think of paying for music downloads. Think of in game instant payments for apps. This is what JAMBOX is all about.

Bifurcation of the economy. I am talking about accelerating the development of the virtual economy.

Some would rather watch the world burn than see their power taken from them. I hope you have a plan to make this ubiquitous before they realize what hit them, and like PGP, I hope you let it lose before any concerted effort can be made stop it. ATM, I see decentralized technologies and cryptography like the invention of the printing press--some  will learn to use it, others won't see the threat/opportunity, while the rest are busy burning heretics.

I intended it as a reference that anyone could link when they encounter Shitcoin Logic, but I think only smooth and myself have ever linked it.
2015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin maximalism be defeated in the reality of adoption? on: June 09, 2016, 08:40:05 AM
Well you all have a diversity of valid points (except for r0ach who is just butthurt that he missed the 10 and 100 baggers and is failing miserably to make me feel jealous when in fact I was never invested in Bitcoin, rather I was only using it to hold some fiat cash flow... and he was told that numerous times), although my own prediction of what will happen differs from yours.

The wide divergence between the posts in this thread and my own view, is good evidence supporting my theory that we can't know a priori which technological and marketing view point is correct:

I've always believed in quality over quantity.

That is because you still don't understand Physics, i.e. you don't understand that 'quality' can't be distinguished a priori, because the Butterfly Effect is unpredictable, i.e. there is no top-down omniscience (you two clowns still haven't grasped the underlying entropic theory and that the reversibility of time/entropy[1] would only be possible if the speed-of-light was not finite, which is why you continue babbling nonsense about some impossible nirvana where you want to be the regulating top dick sergeants):

From this cesspool can rise a BitcoinTrojanHorse killer. Processes aren't noise free because there can't exist omniscience on which is the noise and which is the signal a priori (it can only be known in retrospect and even then perspectives will differ on the account of history).

It isn't usually possible to throw the bath water out independently of the baby when the baby is a decentralized market. You say you want decentralized markets, yet you are unwilling to accept their imperfection. Imperfection is required to have any dynamic system. Otherwise you have top-down control, which is the antithesis of existence, because the speed-of-light is necessarily finite (otherwise past and future would collapse into an infinitesimal nothingness) and thus a top-down observer can't anneal distributed processes in real-time.

Nature is simultaneously ugly and fabulously diverse and interesting. I wouldn't prefer the disinfected nirvana of absolutely no possibilities.

Yeah HODL some Bitcoin. It is the most stable CC so far. HODL your nose and realize the altcoin cesspool is necessary.

I think there are disrupters planted within the alt section. When you keep hearing, "all alts are scams," you have to wonder why the person is even here. That said, there isn't a big enough user pool for Bitcoin to carry out a maximalist strategy, it was too much of a demand, too early and by too small of a contingent to ever have any real effect--think the British in India. Wallstreet will determine how this plays out in the near term. Do they keep investing in Bitcoin start-ups that have yet to make in roads to mass adoption? Do they invest in promise makers like Eth? Or do they keep learning about cryptocurrencies and make better choices as those better choices are made available? My guess is that the proliferation of classes and books on the cryptocurrency and blockchain subject coupled with the research of big names like IBM illustrates that wallstreet is closing the learning curve and will be up to speed enough to make better choices as they are revealed or made available.

Having sputz on ignore is making this tough, so anyone who can post a sentence or two summing up sputz's current nonsense will get to choose how I respond.

You can pick from:

1) sonnet

2) epigram poem (think short and sweet ala Emily Dickinson)

3) list poem (think Whitman, beat poetry or Russian experimentalist from WWII)

4) straight up gangsta

5) your choice (sestinas and other variants are off the table as they take way longer than twenty minutes)

Challenge accepted.

6) Haiku

Sputnik calls for rain
everyday call for rain again
then sun shines, oops wrong


Sputnik climbs mountain
past the pretty orchid, screams
"everything is gay!"

Sputnik lives under
a tiny bridge where goats
nay in ugliness

Who can see lotus
when they walk only pastures
covered in dog shit

The mountain has gifts
to bear for those willing up
the courage to try

One day of thunder
ruins predictive model
one-trick weatherman

The heart is lightest
when it bears the lightness sown
like a bird in air

weeds grow many times
it is the better farmer
who finds better soil

weeds grow many times
it is the poorer farmer
who curses his luck

That's my twenty minutes
of writing sputnik haiku
my heart is lighter
2019  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] do you take anything out of Spoetnik mouth serious? on: June 07, 2016, 06:57:23 PM
I just figured out who Sputz's reminds me of, he's like some old weatherman who's too lazy to learn new technology and moves to San Diego because he can sit on his ass, drink brandy, and hit on interns, knowing that it never rains in SoCal--but then some new kid shows up with charts and predictive models and a bunch of other technical crap. Sputz won't stand to see his rep or his sweet gig be taken over by some new kid, so he takes the kid to the side and says, "Today it's sunny, tomorrow it's sunny and next week guess what it'll be?

Kid gives a blank look.

"Sunny! It 's always sunny in SoCal. So relax and just take my lead," Sputz says.

Now the kid is thinking, "This guy is full of shit. He's just playing the numbers." So the kid does what any self-respecting professional would do, he researches, talks to weathermen who work where there's more inclement weather, studies everything he can get his hands on and one day, he can hardly believe it, not only are the models and charts predicting rain, they're predicting a tropical storm unlike any that's ever hit California. The kid doesn't just accept this, he takes it to more professional weathermen, and gets a second, third, and fourth opinion--and when he finally is assured that a major storm is coming he takes it to his producers and lays out all the information--to which a drunk and insecure sputz replies,

IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN SAN DIEGO!

Out of arrogance and laziness, Sputz never gave it a second thought, and when the storm hit and destroyed everything, all he could do is keep on saying, "Tomorrow it will be sunny," until they fired his ass for getting the one time that it mattered wrong.
2020  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] do you take anything out of Spoetnik mouth serious? on: June 07, 2016, 02:28:02 PM
I've seen him call out scam coins before most people, and he has done his fair share of research to expose them. While he can be a bit reckless in what he says sometimes and will post evidence that hasn't been completely confirmed, he if right more often than he is wrong. Ignore him at your own peril.

I think he is one of the forum's most important contributors.

But then, "important" is a far different word than "popular" and sometimes it is hard to be both.

Personally, I think it is usually a good sign if someone is equally hated and loved.

Also, people should realize that while Spoetnik has called out scams successfully, even his opinion is just an opinion. Do your own research before deciding if you agree with him or not. That said, he is a great "first warning" system.

PS Sorry Spoetnik, for talking about you as if you aren't here. Much love and all that.

You're joking right?

Ask him if dash is a scam and see the BS pile up as he talks out both sides of his mouth to keep his partner in anti-monero spam. He's a closet BCT maximalist who's planted his fat ass in the alt section and is ready to partner with anyone who isn't a threat to BTC and fits into his destroy-all-threats-to-Bitcoin agenda. Every time a coin is a threat to BTC, whether technologically or by market cap, he quickly pivots and goes after them specifically. He'll say it's because they are spamming the forum, but he won't say a word when some shitcoin spams the forum and happens to be part of the wannabe coins attacking the current leaders on the board. Sputz is a politician posing as a troll and his agenda is disruption of any sincere discussion of a coin that can either replace Bitcoin or fill a niche Bitcoin can't--this is why most shitcoins don't matter to his agenda and he spends so much time on a few.

But here's the real test. A liar is devoid of details--ask them how they're going to build a bridge and they'll spew something like, "I've got engineers for that" ask them how their dot com is going to make a profit and they'll spout, "the internet is where all the new money is." Ask sputz what his criticism of monero is and you'll get blather, ask smooth or one of the other monero developers how Monero will work and you'll get a technical answer that will be as detailed as your knowledge base can handle. Now watch  sputz's vapid and noisy reply to this post--entertaining noise meant to distract the reader away from his lack of technical insight or merit.
