The only reason you were not listed in THE WALL OF HONOR is the censorship in the IRC channel.

Wait... I thought that the reason for VeriCoin being spared from your WALL OF HONOR was the fact that this thread, according to you, is self-moderated.

It is, indeed, very good, to know who are the people behind the development of Vericoin. Mind you, even before they came out, the only barrier they did not pass to be included in my WALL OF HONOR was the fact that their thread, this one, is self-moderated.

...very strange.

Nothing strange, that was corrected immediately afterwards because I was referring indeed to the IRC channel, not this thread that has never been moderated.
I hope you are not confused anymore.

Verisend > Darksend

It's proven.
While verisend is cool, it is neither trustless nor decentralized. The devs have even said that this is not their main priority.

If it's not trustless + decentralized... then whats the point?  It's only a gimmick then... well, I guess that's the point.

I believe it is a feature most people in the community wanted as the fad that it is.

There are all kinds of opinions about it of course, all respectable but mine is that there's no place for anon, nor use, on a crypto currency that hopes to break the confines of the very reduced crypto community. All coins will eventually have the best one out there as an option... an option that practyically nobody will use.

Woah, barabbas I actually agree with you on something! Anon is nothing but a gimmick- I won't make any exact estimates but I imagine the vast majority of people currently involved in crypto will never ever use this feature. Even more so, if cryptocurrencies are to ever gain mass adoption (as I hope we all strive for) the percentage of people who would use anon features would drastically diminish further. Additionally, and I believe we have seen this with bitcoin already, it is possible that anon actually inhibits mass adoption...

Don't worry, there's no chance it'll become a habit.

I am so confused. Did our openness somehow win Barabbas over?

As you and Douglas very well know, your openness, even milder then, had won me over from the get go. The only reason you were not listed in THE WALL OF HONOR is the censorship in the IRC channel. And that was before douglas and david came out of the closet, so I don't understand the surprise. Yes, transparency and honesty will win me over every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Now, that said, The Black Hand involvement as well as the actual, real involvement of Joel Bosch, remain in cloudy territory for the time being.

But I like what I am seeing of late and along with criticism I don't hide praise when I believe it's due. Your openness is deserving of all praise in my book.
Always has been.

you know barrabas you make me wish there was a moderated thread so that all of your inane babblings could be deleted and hopefully you kept out as well, but as that is counter to the open policy of the devs we must suffer your company and the retarded bile that you manage to regurgitate all over this thread. I for one am thankful that instead of getting fed up with your stupidity the devs have decided to use it as fuel to show you and every other FUDster/sockpuppet just how wrong, and stupid, you truly are.

You know socal, I believe you bring absolutely nothing whatsoever to this nor any boards. But I don't suffer you at all, I just zip over your posts in total certainty there there will never be anything of substance in any of them.

But I have a very nice suggestion for you that I'm sure will make you quite happy: There's is a button on your box, right there on the left, that says "ignore". I personally would be extremely thankful if you click the one under my handle.

Let me put it in graphic imagery to you: As disgusted as you might be by me, I consider you about ten gazillion times much more disgusting to me... if I were to give the thought any consideration at all. As it is, you are all but non-existent to me.

I hope you will understand my blunt frank-ness...

cleared to save space

Sorry but first, I don't believe it is right to keeping the discussion on this board any longer. This is the VRC board.

But since it has been forced into it -a non-moderated one, therefore it cannot be deleted, as opposed to that of NEM, I'd ask you that you refrain from quoting the whole panphlet in potential answers.

I will answer you though: There's no comparison. On many counts.

First and foremost, VRC if a coin easy to "get", perhaps even conventional in many of its main aspects. Yours, on the other hand, requires hours of deep study to even come remotely close of grasping the concept, let alone its working ons. That thing cannot ever be successful, out of its complexity, if you would actually pay good money to people to even contemplate it. Even for geeks, it would be a pain in the butt. Imagine for the "normal" population.. That would be exhibit A.

Exhibit B and C would be the self-moderated  condition of your thread and the anonymity of your many  developers. Vericoin has already established a standard in both those departments and, quite frankly, from my standpoint, no individual with the most elemental common sense would go back and consider, ever, investing in a coin that doesn't meet those standards. I hope and believe that it will be precisely the case from now on. You want to deal in crypto, take down the mask, first, be totally transparent AND allow absolutely non-censored criticism, no if no buts. Of you won't have a business.  Simple enough, fair enough in my book. They are doing quite fine with this new standard, so could you. There's no possible arguments.

For those exhibits/considerations, I submit that Vericoin is quite superior indeed to that other coin of yours and the other one we mentioned before. Quite.

firstly. theres 2 threads. more than 2 actually. multiple ones for different purposes. and has its own forum. one moderated main thread, one not. the main guy (not a coder, just organiser) left, and the community took over, quite successfully actually, and trolls took over the main thread. so the moderated one was badly needed how ever the main one was left open for transparency and for people to be able to post genuine hard hitting questions no matter how negative of an effect they may have, and to allow trolls to troll as they please and it is still used for genuine discussion. if you look back through the unmoderated one you will see what i mean, and understand why a moderated one was needed and regular discussion continued their instead with troll attempts being deleted..

whats wrong with a devs being anonymous? 99% of them dont give their real identity. satoshi, bcnext, the darkcoin dev, loads of leading cryptos have annon devs. i dont see how thats an issue?

as for the complexity, end users wont see it. nem uses a combination of webclient, a wallet.dat type of wallet that gets stored on your comp and automatically detected and brain wallet. the alpha is easier use than nxt was 5 months after launch. does the general public know how https works? or the inner workings of andriod or ios? thats a non argument.

@onsightit

what fud? i havnt said a single word ill of vericoin. you guys have done well and thats what brought me here to find out why. i have nothing to be nervous about.

ps. i didnt mean to put your thread off track so i apologize for that. il refrain from posting again.

And henceforth, there lies the problem: You simply don't see the issues.

Good luck.

I don't understand the price of this coin?  Why is it so high?  There are plenty of other coins that are superior to it that have a smaller market cap

There's no any superior coins compared to this! Plus imo the price is still very low... Multiply it by 10 and we are on the right track!

Bitcoin is superior.  

I fail to see the "superiority" but even admitting that it is way above and beyond all others, what is not in dispute is that it lacks severely in practicality due to the length of time required for transactions and total lack of anonymity. Not to mention many other implications from waste of electricity of a bulky blockchain that is far from being secured or even have a future -unless prices of BTC go high enough to make mining somewhat profitable. BTC is not practical for comon purchases on site as Vericoin and many other altos are.

But by way of comparison one assumes other altcoins, not necessarily Bitcoin. And all those cryptos that another poster mentions don't count, not even close, with the transparency and overall clean image of Vericoin which, quite frankly, has set a new standard in that field that the community, logically, has rewarded and I am quite sure will continue rewarding accordingly.

how is vericoin superior to second gen coins like nxt and nem? nem having proof of importance and solves the problem of ring structures? which trumps the "keep your wallet open, get more coins" thing?

what features does vericoin have over the two i mentioned(or features they can support but not yet implemented) other than dynamic interest?

can vericoin support:

asset exchange

digital goods store

physical good store

mmorpg's built on top of the blockchain and played within client

voting system

judgement system

multigateway for asset exchange

turing complete/automated transactions

autoDAC's

privacy controls (not just annon tx's but different levels of privicy, ie. hide balance but not transactions ect)

blockchain pruning

support for auctions

ability to integrate new features with out a fork/build features into the coin with out forking the network

what problems does vericoin solve that nem/nxt cant?

genuine questions.



I have to confess my ignorance about NEM. Never heard of it. Next, on the other hand, I know very, very well. And all I know about it, except for the complications nof it's wallet, is beyond positive... except it's distribution, which I am quite sure you know plenty about as the very serious problem that it is.

Other than that, excellent platform -for I consider it way more than just a currency-. But when one of the few owners of the coin can sink the price next to zero is he decides to cash out, that is an inadmissible risk in my book. That 99% of the "staking" -whatever they call it- benefits those very same few owners of 90% of the platform, is also inadmissible. That's why Vericoin is, from the stand point of potential investors, a much superior coin if the term can be applied in that sense.

Would you kindly enough explain the "superiority" of other coins with respect to Vericoin?

As for the price being high, the coin is being pumped and dumped at the moment by the Black Hand, an organized group rather infamous. Besides that, it is the first coin in cryptoland where the three developers have come forward with their real names, one of them a current programmer at one of the Microsoft's divisions. Logically that "first", along with the perceived qualities present and upcoming, have put a stamp of all around quality quite uncommon in the world of alts.

Black hand destroyed blackcoin, they will do the same to this.

Iconic Expert destroyed blackcoin. You need a history lesson.

Having been there -and angrily antagonizing IE's in many of his enterprises, especially in his attempt at community manipulation of the market-, I happen to strongly disagree: IE's promotion's of BC MADE it and took it all the way to 95k. Logically when he took off, the coin suffered because of The Black Hand squeezing every single potential profit from investors.

I don't like most of what IE does -20% and pushing it- but he does good stuff promoting coins. I don't care for his irascible attitude and diva-like heated reactions who happen to hurt people including himself, but he made BC, everyone knows that.

I must add that I so strongly disagree with him not returning the donations for laziness that for that he has been included in THE WALL OF SHAME.

To Caesar's what's Caesar's....

In that I be;lieve you could be close to the truth. With one caveat (potentially): The Black Hand totally control Blackcoin. From the inside and with full cooperation of the dev team on all aspect. Here, so far, I remain just suspicious and only after the outrageous and trade-marked pump and dump of 2 days ago -which I identified immediately-. One thing is that The Black Hand is trying to manipulate the market of VRC -I'm sure other groups do too-, and one quite different one is The Black Hand calling the shots, scheduling the purchases of the multipool, timing the announcements and being in the know withg total lack of transparency.

Vericoin, so far, is setting a new standard in transparency. Hopefully also in honesty. I'm more than willing to give them in principle the benefit of the doubt although the addition of Joel Bosch, a well know Black Hander, doesn't help this precisely. As long as everyone is given information at the same time and nobody plays with marked cards, the devs cannot have any control over who invests in the coin. And it is quite fine that they try to manipulate the markety. It goes with the territory. Will it kill the coin like it killed BC? Premature to say, I doubt it very much... if the devs, I repeat, are indeed clean and continue exhibiting model transparency.

For what has been shown so far (pending whatever involvement, if any, in the P&D of 2 days ago), I am satisfied, surprisingly satisfied even.

The 3 devs including me have less than 1 M coins. I just sold 2000 of them a few minutes ago at 43000 to pay the last two months hosting bill for the supernodes and dnsseeds.

And this, by the way, if true is very good for the coin and very good for crypto and I commend you for such transparency. Why not even mentioning it in the hangout. It deserves  showcasing, in fact.

Thanks again for it.

hahaha do you guys remember a few weeks ago when vericoin was in the 500-700 sat range. yes thats right 5-7 HUNDRED not thousand. And everyone was worrying and I came on here I was like wtf this coin is a good coin you guys are all crazy haha. read from pages 65-75 you will see what I was saying.

I bought 70,000 VRC lol. for .6 btc. Crazy right?

I sold them all, didn't keep any, i got them all out around 20k, but don't worry, I promise I won't FUD. I definitely regret selling, but whatever I made a lot of money, I guess that's what everyone wants right? I guess I can only be SO angry at myself.

Anyway, to those of you that still hold, and to those who bought in recently, best of luck to you!! This is a solid coin with lots of potential. All I want to do is warn you guys about wizfarm. He was involved in the bc debacle, and the cinni debacle...and I think we all realize the reason why bc and cinni price won't rise is because of the unfair distribution. To those of you who question wizfarms "deep pockets" and where he gets all that money from, bc and cinni are your answer. So I stay away from anything wizfarm is involved in and I wouldn't touch him with a 3987657 foot pole haha.

Miami - "A sunny place for shady people"

^I am from pembroke pines/ west palm beach area so I know what I am talking about haha



I've seen Wiz's wallet. He has less than I do, and all the developers combined hold less than 5% because of the rapid hashrate increases thanks to IPO miner. I wish I mined more... rented over 100 MH/s but didn't make me super hyper rich.

Anyway, there is no chance Wiz will dump this coin. The fact that he has devs he can speak to and know who they are seems to have changed his intentions. After all, who writes a 5 figure check for a months-long project to help the coin when they are going to dump it.

So how is he going to get his money back plus some profit? And that is not counting what he is going to have to spend in the party, which is several times that  50 figure amount? Perhaps there's some investment on the side via Black Hand? Of he is just a good samaritan throwing money to promote Vericoin with no possibility whatsoever to ever make any money even if Vericoin goes to 400k sat. Or even 4 MILLION sat? Is that what "he legitimately believes in the coin" means?

So altogether you, the 3 devs, have around 1 million coins and you haven't dumped any, is that what you are saying?

The 3 devs including me have less than 1 M coins. I just sold 2000 of them a few minutes ago at 43000 to pay the last two months hosting bill for the supernodes and dnsseeds.

Thank you for your answer.

And Joel then has  less than 200k coins (that you know of)? That would be roughly 90 BTC at current prices. That would indeed be a very long time investment if he ever expects to make his money back and then some profit, after paying probably as much as that for Bristol and the upcoming big party...
A lot of faith indeed.

Now, if, on the other hand, the Black Hand is guaranteeing the profits from the get go, the situation changes substantially, doesn't it?

I watched the Google hangout guateque.

The usual insufferable, geeky, inevitable stuff, of course, presented in a very amateurish way, also inevitably (growing pains) and, other than Joel Bosch's part, all fluff and no substance of any kind. Absolutely nothing that wasn't already well known by anyone that has read the OP here. OK, so almost and hour and a half pretty wasted, but it is a first and some leeway is due. I'm sure the ones that will follow will be much more streamlined and purposeful.

The price of admission though was merited by the brief intervention by Bosh. He brought in some theoretical big guns. Of particular interest the Latino angle. Interesting, indeed. A lot of promises. Bristol, Granda Ent... well, not top of the pops but something... potentially. And who is to argue with FREE, right? Not me, no sir. Joel will pay Bristol out of his own pocket. Not only that, he will bring in to Miami the Devs and, seemingly, celebrities that will be attending his "Vericoin presentation party" from all over the world. With music that will sponsor the coin -not the other way around- to boot. Again, out of his own pocket. CNN, MSN and regular media galore in tow... and all out of his own pocket... just how dip is that pocket? Of course nothing is going to be even remotely similar, in reality, to what Joel envisions, not even close, but still the bill is going to be of quite some significance, even at the minimums. Several tens of thousand dollars, at the very least. All out of his pocket. Deep pocket indeed. One has to wonder how is it possible that such deep pockets may have grown of selling Mac parts and computer repair from an obscure shop in Miami, but let's not go too deep into that, not necessary. What's necessary is to know the big question: Why? What's in it for me?. Joel, all honesty of him, spoke of a personal investment of him in VRC of "One thousand, two thousand, maybe 20 thousand or whatever..." seemingly giving not even a consideration to money, like money is of no significance, it's the idea that moves the man. A family man, as we heard. Except that family men have as their primary obligation, providing for their families. Much as I tried, I couldn't figure that angle myself. All along I felt I was about to hear that it was "going to be huge" and the bald head all of a sudden morphing into Donald Trump's tupee... but no, just "great". Or "cool". And, of course, by Joel and Patrick, that this "was going to be worth much more in time". Not for a single moment, there was any mention of "we are going to be rich", nothing of that short. As a matter of fact, the whole thing was kind of like a series of likeminded Evangelist pastors on TV just asking for donations... while hating it. And promising great future value for it.

At one point, during the akward silences, it seemed inevitable that someone would volunteer something. Douglas seemed the one more on the ball for a while so I was hoping he would volunteer something like "we, the three devs, have come out fully. Everyone knows who we are now, let them know also why we are doing this, really. Or also. We own 10% 20% of all Vericoin there are out there. Like any investors, with the success of Vericoin that we envision, we are going to be rich. So can you, invest in it. Invest in it like Joel and his friends have done. How much have you personally invested, Joel?". But no, that wasn't Dateline, of course. It was just a hangout full of inane BS and the selling of the pen. It was weird, like everyone was asking mentally those questions but none would come forward with it, hoping that looking like moronic nerds would distract the evident question and make the "curiosity" disappear.

OK, clearly, so there's no ambiguity:

Joel Bosch: How many VRC have you bought so far and, after your dump 3 days ago, how much you still have left? I can pose the question to you in perfect Spanish if you have any difficulty in understanding it, ok?

Devs, the three of you, how many coins do you still own after the logical sells of 3 days ago?

These are the ONLY relevant questions. And it takes less than 20 seconds per, to answer, even if adding comments. You DO know that the 4 of you are US citizens and subject to IRS rules, so not only your income and assets are going to be investigated come April but will also be public knowledge, so there's no point in pretending to hide what will be public in a few months, is there?

Joel, I know you are on a mission now that your ex-pals at BC (you know what I know of them, right?) are not so amicable any longer, right? You are going to prove to them that your rolodex is pure gold -not really, you are going to face quite a few disappointments, sorry, but I don't want to rain on your parade just yet-, but besides that I know you don't have 50-80K US hanging around wanting to be blown with nothing but a few pictures on a red carpet to show for it, so again, Cuantos VRC has comprado y cuantos te quedan tras los que vendiste hace tres dias?

Now are these  questions that difficult to answer? You guys are transparent, right?

IS THE BLACK HAND NOW IN VERICOIN?

First of all, lets make this perfectly clear: I have no indication whatsoever that there was anything wrong, in the way of scams, with Vericoin. As a matter of fact the only obstacle to list Vericoin in the WALL OF HONOR was the fact that their thread is censored and much more censored their IRC,. Also as a matter of fact, not only I have traded Vericoin quite successfully in the recent past but I also hold, at the time of this writing, what I consider a significant investment in it.

Most of the previous considerations held true... until the dawn of June 25 when, continuing an upside trend of significance, Vericoin experimented a huge pump of almost 80% to a high above 46000 sat (on Cryptsy... peculiarly the high was just 38666 on Mintpal. The subsequent dump -both on huge volume- took it down to 25/26 on Mintpal and Cryptsy respectively. "It is just another pump & dump instance", you say? well, color me a bit skeptical if you will for I believe I have circumstantial evidence that points to an infiltration of The Black Hand in Vericoin. You know, the infamous Black Hand of Blackcoin that I have uncovered (not that they were precisely hiding their activities, more like brag about them by the visible leader of the gang, Morituri13/Dognip).

This P&D has the footprints of the so many times repeated scheme on Blackcoin that, to me, reveals a clear modus operandi. But lets forget about the gut feeling and go with the evidence: We all know, since a couple days ago, who the developers of Vericoin are: Two students from Rutgers University and one ex- Rutgers alumni who works as a programmer for Microsoft, Open Drive division. These guys had no connection whatsoever with Blackcoin, right? Well, not quite. One of them Patrick Nosker, has expressed and posted "appreciation" of Blackcoin... not exactly something he has dispensed towards other competing coins. Besides, I believe they have somehow adopted for Vericoin some of the features of Blackcoin. What they have shared with Blackcoin, for sure, is an investing game which is the brainchild of Eugene (Yevgeniy) Rokhlin  and his associate St.Gnu, both owners of the Blackcoin multipool, and both core members of the dev team at Blackcoin as well as their foundation. Nothing in itself suspicious at all, right?

But there's more. A certain Joel Bosh, better known as a Howie Mandel look-and-copied-style-alike, Puerto Rican of Cuban parents and owner of a clothing company in Miami, known in crypto for some of his handles, such as WizFarm and WizRig, as well as for being instrumental and host of the Blackcasts of Blackcoin, is all of a sudden all over the place not just promoting Vericoin but also "brokering" deals for them. Now Bosch is Black Hand I'm pretty sure, and he is also a Miami resident... coincidentally the city where both Blackcoin and Vericoin just have happened to contract separate PR agencies to promote their respective coins. Furthermore, I believe Morituri13/Dognip actually works for the one that Blackcoin contracted and that was visited by the infamous Soepkip in flowery pants. Soepkip posed at the entrance of the PR firm with none other than a very formally at-work-dressed Morituri13/Dognip. So, same deal, different firm, same location, same commission for Bosch? I can't know for sure at this stage, but all of these circumstances point very clear to me towards one direction. And it is ALWAYS, WHERE THE MONEY IS. And the money is in the P&Ds, same exact formula than the one used so many times, successfully, in Blackcoin.

So what is what I call The Black Hand or La Mano Nera? Well, in the real world, they would have been thrown in jail a long time ago for what they do is organized crime, pure and simple. Oh not strong arming anyone for "protection", mind you, but the newer version of insider trading which, in crypto, means to actually decide the actions and strategies to procure the most profitable pump and dump schemes, from the time and place of the investments of the "mined" proceedings to the creation of The Black Shield to dump into it under the pretension that it's a tool to try and stabilize the price. In the warped world of crypto, this type of activity is not just condoned or ignored by the BC community, but it is even something to brag about. And brag he (morituri13/Dognip) did, posting on the original BC thread that they were "a group of investors, without formal contract, just some papers signed". This "group of investors" is the one facilitating the unload of the millions of coins premined by Yevgeniy and his associates, designing the strategy and donating significant amounts towards the contract of BC with Morituri13's PR firm, and also donating the Titan drawn for the benefit of Yevgeniy and St.GNU's pool, among many other deeds.

There are other "groups of investors" manipulating crypto markets, of course. The difference is that The Black Hand operates from the inside, with not just access to inside information, all the information, but also actually designing the overall strategy. Quite a big difference indeed. The difference between freedom and jail in the real world.

Has The Black Hand infiltrated Vericoin? I cannot know for sure. You will have to be the judge.

 

You've posted accusations and speculation, but no evidence. Where's your evidence? Hell, there's more evidence that Elvis is still alive than you've presented here.

As posted above, all conjecture has been fully confirmed: The Black Hand is now part and parcel of Vericoin.

Barabass do yourself a favor and stick to these threads where you actually support the coin. Why do you go on other threads and write posts (I should say essays and short books) belittling the coin and developers. If you don't like a particular coin, leave it alone..why do you keep bashing it with your long sophisticated rhetoric? For anybody wondering what Im talking about, visit the VRC thread. He also did the same thing with Cinni.

In short, if you dont like some other coin, then stay away. What is your agenda of relentless negativity?
If you like and want to support a particular coin (in this case pink coin), then cool, stick this coin and thread. Like some people have mentioned here already, get your head out of your ass. Look in a mirror before you start your self righteous bashing campaigns on other threads.

In what possible way I have ever lead you to believe that I would be interested in any behavioral advice from you? I would like to know just in case, inadvertently to me, I have somehow lead you to entitled yourself to not only insult me but actually giving me counsel as to what my behavior in other threads should be. Do you think I should also become fully vegetarian instead of just partially? Do you think I should support the Republican party? Do you think I should dedicate myself to the growth and exploitation of stalactites or perhaps pursue a career as a soccer coach. Maybe try out for NASA and outer space exploration?

Forgive me but such senseless, arrogant stupidity can only be taken for the hilarious potential it has, otherwise it is just too insulting and would grant an in-kind scolding.

CountofMonteCrypto, is this the RESPECT you claim "we" exercise here, "oyo's" and this guy's? No need to answer, of course. Just let me tell you that I never offered to work with you or anyone else here outside of the dev team so, since the proposal has been dropped, I fail to see the need for your post. Surely I am missing something, am I not?

As for perceptions and scandals, I don't quite know what you are referring to. It is my purpose and assumed mission to continue creating a ledger with as many crooks and criminals in crypto I can unmask to be guide and documentation when law comes to this territory, which I am pretty sure it is going to be sooner than later. And it comes with an assumed price. I assume that you perceive that as being negative in some way? You have me quite confused, I repeat.

I live through quite a bit of shock and confusion on a daily basis, so no need for clarification is implied or requested. I would think that both of us would be much more effective and quite happier if no further exchanges take place, so I'll do my best to keep my part of the bargain.
