2481  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [QQQ] [XRP] sudden loss of value??? on: August 08, 2013, 02:51:27 PM
200 million to some one who had no faith in XRP?Huh

Faith in "electronic postage stamps"?

I must say that I am not surprised (all along Open Coin had stated that the purpose of XRP was not to be a currency itself - but at the same time they profited greatly by not intervening as the gullible bet on it).

They are clever at "social manipulation" but I think they will find that people don't actually enjoy be tricked (especially people that have ended up losing money because of it).


ah not so much that but valid point but that OC would give 200M to some one who they knew or reasonably knew may dump it,
2482  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [QQQ] [XRP] sudden loss of value??? on: August 08, 2013, 11:30:27 AM
OC recently gave 200 million XRP to an unknown individual/ company and they proceeded to dump. Expect the price to go a lot lower.

200 million to some one who had no faith in XRP?Huh

really....where is this news?
2483  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / [QQQ] [XRP] sudden loss of value??? on: August 08, 2013, 11:11:33 AM
is there any explination as to the sudden XRP loss of value, by 400- 500 % v BTC
2484  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: new terms zero order launch mine, 'n' order launch mine on: August 08, 2013, 04:41:32 AM
kinda to late to hit the backspace button now. you're not very good at conveying your ideas to others. other than that your premine names are not very catchy. why did you waste your time making this post anyway?

i'm open to any improvements you may suggest to improve what I am trying to convey

there is quite a bit of info to get in....

I saw a lot of arguments to the point of videos why coin 'x' was not a premine

a good portion of alts are [ANN] and invariably have some sort of no pre mine claim

but the term has lost most of its meaning to the point of being semantically gamed
2485  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / new terms zero order launch mine, 'n' order launch mine on: August 08, 2013, 04:10:58 AM
I propose the new term

'n' order launch mine
defined as

true zero order launch mine
zero order launch mine = <2x target
.2 order launch mine >=2x target
.3 order launch mine>= 3x target
.4 order launch mine>= 4x target
etc

1st order launch mine >= 10x target

2st order launch mine >= 100x target

etc

these terms addresses the semantic problem of "pre-mine" which can be technically met by not mining before release which can be proven by the blockchain explorer and forum announcement date stamp. This covers so may different serious it becomes cover for orders of magnitudes of coins of the first few days.

The usage of launch mine, covers what happens on day 1/0 onwards

the Launch mine defn will alert people to be able to discriminate between and make more informed choices about coins and [ANN] NO PREMINE, BUT 1st order mine.

I think this term will re place the term PREMINE, which offers to many outs and not enough info.

a good site to get this data

http://cryptometer.org/index.html

eg
bottle caps coin would be a good zero order launch mine
http://cryptometer.org/bottlecaps_96_hour_charts.html

novacoin would be a > 1st order launch mine

2486  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XPM] [ANN] Primecoin Release - First Scientific Computing Cryptocurrency on: August 08, 2013, 12:33:55 AM
is it data missing in those drops at the 9+ diff, and the way its rising now is it chain length or GPU miners

the diff is exponential, but something is just eating through that.....making it look linear...!


or is that the latest hp release
2487  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [TRC] poll : revert to basic static retargetting on: August 05, 2013, 05:34:30 AM
I actually forked TRC on a repo, to put back a BTC target system into it.
2488  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FTC on BTCE, levels on: August 02, 2013, 06:11:16 AM
FTC is being manipulated again.

After the previous 51% attack some individuals created a regenerating wall at around 1.

This time they are more ambitious and bumped it up even higher.

You know a coin is severely pumped when nearly 50% of the buy support is within 10 points of each other and you see large buys like that.

Stay away, you can make some money but the risk is exponentially higher.

I gotta say this was my feeling about FTC, and NVC is a the other end, so little on every levels......
2489  Economy / Economics / Re: Energy consumption could become an issue if bitcoin really breaks through on: August 02, 2013, 02:09:45 AM
also as sunny king pointed out, BTC and move to  POS model and has the dev power to do it.

end of problem
2490  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FTC on BTCE, levels on: August 02, 2013, 02:04:12 AM
why is their so much btc on each price level on BTC-E vs other currencies, eg LTC on usually has say 4, 1, 0.3 or 2 btc, but FTC has 10, 20, 60, 50 etc.

I also noticed CNC was like FTC in this regard, PPC is between FTC and LTC


I just can't figure out why or what it means?
There are a lot of bag holders when ftc was opened on BTCe much higher than it is now. They are doubling down to break even or try to turn their loss into a profit.

ok, i the hope it goes up....

I was thinking maybe all the 0.005 sellers, are supporting at 0.0005 - 0.0015 as they now have the FTC to do it haveing sold out at 0.005, and just cycle pump and dump in new waves of suckers investors
2491  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [Experiment] Abstract Coin 0.3.0 on: August 02, 2013, 02:00:39 AM
brilliant

one question though its costs btc to send a bit of info....

though when you think about it, a cheap way to get a secure block chain!
2492  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FTC on BTCE, levels on: August 01, 2013, 02:52:41 PM
bump help
2493  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is FTC dead? on: August 01, 2013, 02:49:40 PM
Just for kicks, I might as well add the Feathercoin is Dead video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV3z2sZniMg&feature=player_embedded

This comes up so often, I thought I'd save time rather than explaining it every time.  


uh no....pre mine includes giving huge bonus or access in the beginning

http://cryptometer.org/feathercoin_96_hour_charts.html
http://cryptometer.org/feathercoin_90_day_charts.html

oh whats that orders of magnitudes more coins were created in the first day/hours than later days.....sounds fair

contra a real launch

http://cryptometer.org/primecoin_96_hour_charts.html

see that red line, get way above that red line = pre-mine or neo- pre mine
2494  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is FTC dead? on: August 01, 2013, 11:01:05 AM
Well it looks like I chose a convenient time to have made this thread because after sitting at ~.0008 for some time, as has been stated the price has just now started climbing.

A final pump maybe. Btc-e devs said that ftc and trc might be delisted soon due to blockChain instability and attack attempts.

where did BTC-e devs say this?

2496  Bitcoin / Press / Cyprus 2.0 in Australia on: August 01, 2013, 06:49:05 AM
At least is looks like there will be some warning,

but a Levy (tax) on savings to bail out banks in an "emergency" is now on the cards form the Australian Gov.

[note in Australia we get new levy's all the time, that add on to tax, levy =  tax]
2497  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Checkpointing on: July 30, 2013, 01:54:41 PM
That SXC answer isn't really great.

This has been covered a number of times times in this forum, I suggest finding one of my posts. E.g. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=194078.msg2014204#msg2014204

In the reference client checkpoints will play less of a role in the future as better (but more complicated) solutions to the issues mention in that post are deployed.


thank you
2498  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Checkpointing on: July 30, 2013, 11:54:59 AM
Quote from StackExchange:

Quote from: ThePiachu
The checkpoints are hard coded into the standard client. The concept is, that the standard client will accept all transactions up to the checkpoint as valid and irreversible. If anyone tries to fork the blockchain starting from a block before the checkpoint, the client will not accept the fork. This makes those blocks "set in stone".

so it just because the majority everyone is using the same client with the checkpoint in it...?

any pointers on how the code works....*I guess should go and read the code*

(I think I just made a C/C++ joke)
2499  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ixcoin TODO on: July 30, 2013, 11:52:07 AM
if there don't use merged mining they will all hang separately due to not hanging together, like all the scrypt crapcoins.

Already some, maybe most, of the SHA256 coins that cannot yet be merged mined are looking into adding merged-mine-ability for the same reason - survival - the old wave of altcoins did.

-MarkM-


when does ixcoin run out again?
