btc went up because dollar got weaker, not because btc got stronger. Other currencies against the dollar went up aswell, so its not just btc.
This is may be a very small part of the reason, but not even close to explaining the recent price increase. BTC is up 10-20% in the last month. The USD/EUR or GBP or yuan hasn't changed nearly that much, and also, BTC is up versus those currencies as well, by approximately the same amount, 10-20%. |

i thought it was a Scrypt coin so why would a pool be letting you mine with SHA256 ?
smells like exploit LOL
Think it hard forked to be multi algo sha, scrypt, and x11. |

You're really cherry picking from that post by Rosenfeld. Here is a more complete quote of his post (with portions that you probably don't agree with bolded): Given that compromise failed, Gavin and Mike went ahead to push Bitcoin-XT, and now the real issue isn't about technology, it's about the philosophy of Bitcoin evolution. To me, Bitcoin-XT represents a somewhat reckless approach, which in the name of advancement shatters existing structures, fragments the community, and spins the ecosystem into chaos. Whereas Bitcoin Core represents a frigid approach, where no technology improvement will ever be made because consensus can't be reached, and where we can't do anything about the fact that we can't do anything, because of the delegitimization of attempts to change the status quo by forking and letting the best currency win (and make no mistakes, there will be many necessary technology improvements down the road; the block size limit pales in comparison).
Both choices are bad.I had plans once to write a paper about the game-theoretic aspects of changing the Bitcoin protocol, the contingencies in case of a fork, and how the mere threat of a fork can create a Schelling point which would prevent it from happening. I regret never getting around to it, because it might have been illuminating in the current debate. (For that matter, the other paper I had plans for writing was about transaction fees and how they relate to things like a block size limit; I regret that too, but again the block size is no longer the real issue). But anyway, I do strongly believe that the possibility of forking Bitcoin - even if at first it has no consensus - is vital to Bitcoin's health, growth and survival. It's the glue that holds everything together and makes sure the Bitcoin economy has a say in case something goes wrong with the development. Ideally a contentious fork would forever remain a theoretical possibility - but if it is possible it means it can happen, and that's what we're seeing right now. Rejecting a fork on the grounds that it's a fork is wrong.Of course, there are reasons to reject Bitcoin-XT on the grounds that its timing and method are wrong. The objection to the technical change was too strong to just gloss over it. We're definitely not anywhere near the point where Pieter, Greg or Wladimir can be conceivably considered rogue and we should break away from them. Mike and Gavin have, quite arrogantly I would say, assumed that this is just like any other software change and that virtually everyone will just automatically follow them, where the reality is far from it. They didn't properly consider the consequences of making this move without enough support. (They might reply that they have been fighting for this for a long time and exhausted all other options, but I don't accept this - they made many attempts at persuasion, but not enough at compromise). So here we are, having to choose between two bad alternatives. The mere act of choosing commits, in my opinion, the logical fallacy of privileging the hypothesis. There are millions of possible approaches, and "someone" out there restricted them to just 2. Most of the decision process (culling from millions to 2) was made for me and I'm left rubber-stamping one of the choices that remain. (See also http://lesswrong.com/lw/mi/stop_voting_for_nincompoops/). But hey, even a noisy bit contains some information, and the question was asked, so... Given the choice between short-term sticking with 1MB or going all the way to 8MB, I am in favor of going to 8MB. Given the choice between sticking with Bitcoin Core or switching to Bitcoin-XT, I am in slight favor of sticking with Bitcoin Core, but that could change any time. You make it out like he is gung-ho "team core", as you like to put it, but at the end he says he is only "in slight favor" of core over xt and that his preference could change at any time. |

So, if I run light wallet and unlock it, I should be able to forge blocks, right? I don't see how to check if I'm forging, besides I guess monitoring transactions and see if I get some tx fee transaction for forging.
Right-click tray icon and then click Wallet Status (web). I'm pretty sure I tried that, and just saw a page with my balance and dialog box for sending funds, but I'll check tonight and update my post in ten hours or so (workitty work work). Edit: Ohyea, it's working. I was going here http://127.0.0.1:9090/webwallet instead of here http://127.0.0.1:9090/index/status.html |

I want to start the specs and design of making BURST able to store data.
anyone want to participate in this?
What i personally think would be cool, would be something totally decentralized, totally encrypted. it should not be possible for anyone to know what they store, or what people are requesting, yet, the network as a whole should be able to serve requests for data, and searches for data if data was put there to be searchable.
i guess it should cost a little to read data off the network, and it should cost a little to put data into the network.
it might also be possible to put data in, that cost more to read, then the profit could go to the "owner" burst address of the data
i would assume people could then choose what amount of diskspace they want to use for mining, and what amount for keeping data in the BURST cloud. If you keep data, it will just look like encrypted garbage, you would not know what it is, and not be able to read any of it.
This is a huge task, i expect we'd have to create a file system from scrath and then some, but the reward would be the first decentralized totally anonymous totally non-cencsored file storage with general access as well as protected access. Sort of like utorrent only where nobody will be able to tell what you are downloading and uploading and storing.
what we have going for us is a working payment system ( BURST ) and the first 10PB or so owned by people in the community.
Btw. i don't even know if it is possible to make it anonymous to the degree i want it to be, but i haven't yet seen any hard evidence why it should not be possible.
So other coins are already doing that. Maidsafe, Storj, Sia Why not spend more time devising Ideas on how to work together on our brother coin Qora which already supports small file uploads and can be exchanged with Burst on cross chain transactions. I agree. I own some Sia and monitor their thread. It seems extremely complex to offer redundant file storage off blockchain and compensate hosters for storing files. Not something you can just tack on to an existing coin in a few weeks. |

Who cares? It's a dumb idea anyway, and obviously a rip off of the earlier chained hashes that used a different number of functions. Is the first person to add another few hash functions on top of the 11 also a genius? Clearly the creator of X13 is two smarter than Duffield, and the creator of X15 is another two points smarter than him. |

If I use the light wallet, do I need to make an RPC call or something to unlock the wallet, or is there some way on a localhost webpage that I'm missing?
Edit: Nevermind, just saw it in systray.

Satoshi is among us. There is even a chance he is reading this right now.  Most people don't know this, but Satoshi is actually the developer of litedogedarkcoin  |

Hi People. I may add DOGED to this game: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1201700.0What would be the interest? We have 0% house edge games and even 1% player edge if you are interested. If there is interest I will add DOGED to the coinpayments.net gateway. Seems kinda complicated, but I'd at least give it a shot if you add doged. |

I was submitting this coin to cryptopia but they won't accept coins with significant premine
That's OK, as I wrote above, single exchange with private API - is enough for initial phase. btw, 'significant' - is not very precise term... i.e. what level of premine is eventually acceptable? (e.g. 0.2% is OK? ) On their list of rejected coins: ziftrCOIN(ZRC) 4.5% Premine too high. was the lowest number I saw. So, yea, I'm pretty sure your premine that will give you more than 90% of available coins for years, and more than 50% of available coins for almost a century would fall into the "way too fucking high" category Yea, but what would you say for 0.2% premine, then?  I guess it's deliberately vague so they have some discretion, but they do carry Zeitcoin, which I know has/had 1% premine, so I guess 0.2% would be acceptable in general. |

Yeah, it's unfortunate and for me quite a deterrent. bram_vnl and b1007 encouraged me to check out NLG and when I come to the thread I see someone throwing a hissy fit with a 570 BTC wall up. You think that is going to bring in new people to NLG? You're wrong and you're hurting what you say you're trying to build. Knowing there is someone, or a group, with that many coins and an attitude like that will never be good for the NLG ecosystem. Despite the drama that was witnessed over the weekend which in itself is a indication that this currency is worth fighting for. The reason why people got a lot of coins for cheap is because it started like every typical scam coin would with a premine. The early investors took huge risks because there was a 90% chance in most crypto communities minds this would be a scam, but my inner voice told me to buy in and support for the long term. It's the last of the truly decentralized projects remaining in crypto and it just keeps getting better and stronger with time where every other project starts off strong and gets weaker. Everyones choice in what they invest in but I am not going anywhere. Gulden forever! Still a distinct possibility it could end in a scam. I mean, it only trades on bittrex, afaik, and the premine holders could probably dump the price down to 1 sat or lower with the amount of coins they hold. |

So, if I want to get my BCY off of Poloniex, and I have a web-wallet at couterwallet.io, do I just withdraw my BCY to my BTC address on the counterparty web wallet?

...
You guys think creating thousands of different little digital ponzi tokens to artificially pump and dump is HELPING things?
You're asking this rhetorical question while at the same time having a Cryptsy logo in your avatar. What is Cryptsy if not an outlet to pump and dump little digital ponzi tokens? They're (allegedly) currently under investigation for a variety of infractions, including some related to Paycoin (XPY), which is probably the most obvious (non-explicit) crypto ponzi. |

You guys .....
the issues posted above were acknowledge by evan and the Dash Community many times over,
sure you keep screaming SCAM , just to get Monroe into the News.
(if you think that is PR, good luck)
On a sidenote :
The crypto eco system has enough problems for adoption as is.
You guys as the kings of FUD and TROLLing in this eco system should really reconsider
you 'attempts' here, as you are not only giving yourself a bad name, but everybody (incl BTC,...) else !
Aren't we all in the early stages on the Crypto Scene ?
Shouldn't we support the general crypto approach to help get more adoption accross the board ?
(think about it)
you are still stuck in some Anon Race from 1.5 years ago
grow up, and start looking at the bigger picture !
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Just because people don't like dash and are vocal about it doesn't make them look bad. That's just your view. I've always called out shady behavior on this forum and I will continue to do so and that includes dash/trash/whatever. Then can you please include the scammy Monero start with the botched miner. If you do this I will conclude that you are actually fair and looking out for the general public. Please start by posting daily in all of the Monero forums of the unfair scammy start it had. You're comparing apples and 747 jet liners. Monero didn't emit half of all coins in existence until months after there were nvidia and amd gpu miners available for windows and linux, not too mention optimized cpu miners. Dash/Darkcoin/Xcoin emitted about half of all coins in existence in the first 24 hours of its existence, before there was even a windows client, then promised a relaunch, then just changed its name instead. Also, how the motherfuck do you get such an awesomely negative trust rating:  ? |

shitcoins fertilize the earth my friend
Qora on Polo, Bter, and CCEDK
NEM on Polo, Bittrex
*remind me of what happens to low volume coins on Bittrex? do they post addnodes, block explorers?
Looking for long legs not hot trendy trades.
I'm more a fan of Qora, and my comment was more directed towards coins on Poloniex, which is remarkably loyal about not delisting shitty coins with low volume (see execoin and hirocoin), but, come on, Paycoin seems to be an outright scam that may or may not bring Cryptsy to its knees (see coinfire.io investigation). How can you expect Paycoin to be around in five years? And are Zeit and Pandacoin even listed on five exchanges? Or is this just a rule that you're making up for coins that you don't actually hold? |

Getting OpenBazaar to accept Monero would be a great start.
Not sure whatever became of it, but the guy that runs dwarfpool was paid some xmr to develop a Monero fork of Openbazaar, called Freemarket, or Openmarket, or something. |

1. please list all markets you know of (must be on at least 5 of 12 exchanges cry, rex, polo, cryptopia, ccex, btc38, bter, bleu, bx.in.th, all, yobit, shapeshift) NEM and Qora and XST ... short on exchange listings ... else please prove me wrong NXT ... likely goes on the list but i like to see camp NXT whine Qora trades on Poloniex, Bter, and CCEDK, and honestly I think Polo is the biggest in terms of volume and highest quality alt exchange out there now. NEM is on Polo also, and on Bittrex. Yobit, Cryptopia, and C-Cex shouldn't even count, since afaik they only list Bitcoin clones because they can't be bothered to figure out how to list non-clone coins. Qora and NEM don't do huge volume, but they probably average more than Pandacoin, Paycoin (really?), Zeit, and other shitcoins on your list. |

Ok I'll try it, but I think that the devs took great care in the design to avoid the color pink.
Just kidding, it's live now like that. What do you think?
It took a long time for me to color all those links in Windows Paint, zooming in and doing the edges 1 pixel at a time.
Looks a bit better, imo, but hey, it is your website |
