no thanks, I'll just stay 21 forever.

Thanks guys! I photoshoped it myself.

When I first posted this image, two fellow vericoiners had no sense of humor and were disgusted by it. I guess they feel that gay sex is vulgar or something. But sex is a natural thing, even between two men. And there's no nudity.  
Thankfully everyone else loved it.


btminer8 gave me the grumpy:

"Please gtfo. Vericoin doesn't deserve a community like this."

BitcoinPorn insultingly gave me this Aspergers reply (I bolded some things ):

"I'll add you to ignore as well (which I never though I'd do for a VRC supporter), I hope you grow/mature.  Seeing your post history, you actually referred to people as "aspie"... which I do find the humor in sadly, but overall I can tell you are just young/a kid and into crypto coins, which is cool, but your negativity will not be beneficial to you, just letting you know the facts/math of karma in this world.   Again though, you seem to be a kid, this will probably go in one ear out the other, but you can be productive for the coin or be something that will hold Vericoin back, your choice.  Hope you earnestly want the coin to succeed in the end.  Good luck in life."

And he pairs these common terms with a dash like:

"grow/mature"
"young/a kid"
"facts/math"

So I seriously think he has Aspergers, which is starting to look common in the crypto world.

Yes, he has "Porn" in his username with an animation of a guy humping a barcode in his avatar. And I called Smoothie an "aspie" for constantly bringing up Bernanke to attack vrc, that might be offensive to people who have Aspergers, but for BitcoinPorn, he writes "I do find the humor in".  ??  So is it the gay sex then? Although there's no nudity. I personally feel that btctalk.org has some youthful energy, I honestly thought that it was okay to post it. But some people are just not happy. BitcoinPorn really put me on ignore.  

Your post history says it all.  

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

On that note, you sir earned the honor of being on my ignore list. next !

VeriCoin’s Response To MintPal’s Hacking Could Destroy Them
thecoinfront.com



Implications

While no one likes to see their coins stolen, and many members of the community are supportive of such an action, there are issues involved.

VeriCoin claims in their tweet to be "preserving decentralization", but by hardforking their blockchain they're making a decision for the entire community to help a group of investors who made a poor investment choice.

While their intentions may be altruistic, such an action does nothing to preserve decentralization. In fact, it does more to destroy it than if they had done nothing at all.

What is also unclear is what will happen to the legitimate transactions made after the coins were stolen. Will those be simply reversed and their transactions erased in order to preserve the greater good? Or will efforts be made to make these people whole again. Will VeriCoin holders have to appeal to a central authority in order to make sure their coins are returned to them?

its just cleaner to delete everything and re download the blockchain when there is a hard fork of this magnitude. otherwise you could just have extra files relating to the old chain fork taking up space on your HDD.

keys to your coins are in wallet.dat if you delete that file you delete your access to your coins.

if what you did works and you aren't too worried about files taking up space on your HDD then its all good.

Why would I want to use VRC (with transactions that can be rolled back) when I can use BTC (with transactions that are final)? Maybe, as you say,  it is safer to hold VRC (as long as it is on a big exchange) over BTC, but it will be worth nothing if you can't spend it because nobody wants to accept it.

Oh shit, you've been here all day all night arguing about vericoin. Why so fucking concerned as you aren't even holding any VRC? We know your intentions, now get lost and let it be.

LOLOLOL All you dumb FUDsters and Panic Sellers are gonna feed me TONS of cheap VRC as soon as the exchanges unfreeze, I think I may retire with the amount of VRC I'll be able to snatch up, oh and THINK for a min if the hackers targeted VRC there was a REASON, either 1) They know VRC is solid and is going places, 2) They are associated with some other bullshit coin and terrified of VRC and trying to crash it (but the wont) or 3) All of the above.  All I can say to the hackers is haha you stupid bastard nice try better luck next time. and to everyone else TRY NOT TO DUMP HODL AND PRICE WILL REMAIN STABLE DUR DUR DUR I FOR ONE WILL BE BUYING THE HELL OUTTA VRC ONCE ABLE TO!!!!!

Can any dev answer why mp would only have an issue with vrc and the attackers did not take btc or higher valued coins?  If what mp said was true and only vrc was hit, but had nothing to do with vrc?

Just looking for an answer, if there is a good explanation, then great! would instill confidence!

VeriCoin will hard fork to a checkpoint a few hours ago just before the attack on MintPal. MintPal has agreed to cover losses relating to the hack.

VeriCoin is fine, there are no vulnerabilities. We had to decide between hard forking prior to the attack or letting MintPal fall and the thief keeping the 8 million VRC that was stolen. We chose the option that we thought would be best for the coin.

We will be releasing a new wallet with a fix shortly.

Bought another 39 610 vrc and will stake it on my wallet , with all the news coming this week = i will triple my investment = want to spend wy hollydays in Bora-bora island (french polynesia , so Happy

First of all, while I tend to toss around terms like 'Feds' being an American myself, it applies throughout the world governments that some similar entity exists, please don't read too much into that particular word.

Strictly speaking, yes, the point of anonymity is to be anonymous. The question is twofold however.

First of all, while the whole world does not 'have' to comply with US regulations, the US Financial system (for all it's faults) is still capable through the Federal Reserve and US government of applying an absurd amount of pressure to entities based outside of the US. Most money laundering laws are international as well (since every government worldwide pretty much wants to have their hand in the cookie jar), so very little reach is even required. Because something truly anonymous could be used extensively for funding terrorism as well, they could come after it from that vector too. Long story short, until you are living in a non-extradition country and banking with an institution that is not reliant in any way on US or US ally based financial institutions, you might want to rethink how much you can blow off. Its scary how much economic leverage can be applied to anyone to get them to step to the beat. Sad, but true, plain and simple.

And the second facet to this is that any anonymous currency ostracized by the global financial system will probably be very hard to acquire, or cash out. Now while it is in it's own way a currency (obviously), it is only as useful as it can be spent. If you had one million dollars (or equivalent in whichever national currency you prefer) in "AnonymousCOINX" (pulling something random outta my ass as to not offend anyone), you wouldd have to either spend it with merchants who would give you something of value for it, or sell it on an exchange for fiat in order to actually have that value. But if companies wont accept it for fear of being ostracized, and if your local banks wont accept funds from an exchange that trades it for the fear of being ostracized, then what do you really have?

The essential point is that untraceable electronic transfers would be a haven for illicit activity, not just people who feel they have the right to privacy. Because of this, it's would come under what would probably be an almost unsurvivable amount of scrutiny by any and every world government.

Kind of a case of the rotten apples spoiling the whole bushel. While I know a lot of honest folks have interest in the anon aspects of crypto, it is in my personal opinion going to be hammered too much by legal authorities worldwide who are going to be way too fearful of it's illicit use.

One more thing I just gotta point out before I head out for a bit.

For anyone left with doubts of the quality and intent of the VRC dev's

Doug put a big VeriCoin QR code on his car to promote VeriCoin today! He just posted the pic on twitter. Those guys are smart, and dedicated for sure. You don't promote a scam on your personal car.

By all measures, these guys have good intentions and seem dedicated to making crypto accessible to the masses. Will be a pleasure to work with everyone in the community to keep growing this coin payment solution.
