What is a Stuff member?  Do you mean Staff member?

I also noticed that the new campaign starts on the 19th...is that the same across the board?  I have no problem maintaining the signature for the next five days (for free) but just want clarification.  I personally don't think it is a bad idea to have everyone start on the same day as it would make it easier on you guys to track post activity.

Payment received, thank you.


I would like to continue into the monthly campaign.  Do I need to sign up again or can we just roll into it?

Cheers!

I wouldn't argue that...would be a longer gif though...

I like the gif and can appreciate the time spent creating it.  

I don't think that it is a valid comparison though.  Dark happened a year ago and is relevant in that it provided a stepping stone for innovation.  I like to think that the altcoin community is a huge R&D community...it is.  Dark has a place within that mindset and such a dismissal might be disingenuous towards acknowledging what this community ultimately should be about...which is collaboration.  

That said, I did say stepping stone.  I suppose if we view the simultaneous explosions as distribution then we have a potentially accurate visual analogy.  It looks cool regardless....but maybe an idea would be to use an evolution theme...?

Not just you....I see invalid image as well.

Huge Sell Walls on Polo right now...about 150 BTC from 17-20K...

I highly doubt it.

Price has been stagnant for pretty much the entirety of this coins existence and there is no indication that the dev is coming back.  If I am not mistaken, he even tried to launch another coin after his last post in this thread.

I think you might have misinterpreted.  When I asked what was needed, I was willing to donate.  Still am.  The response given, in my opinion, was honest and not what I expected...hence the 'laugh'.  Twas a harmless expression on my part; I respect the work that has gone on from many parties within this thread.

There was no criticism from my end...

Fair enough...though I did actually 'lol'...edit to add - @ the primary premise. 

What do you need to finish it and is it open source (to address concerns expressed earlier)?

I am not dedicated to either way but think that is an elephant question worth asking.

I wonder how many of us are factoring in these guys...

At the peak of BTC price, Citibank released their report and claimed the above bold. 

I think they were wrong but looking at it from their perspective, from the perspective of people from an industry who lobbies millions on political campaigns for legislation that benefits them in the financial spectrum, they took notice of BTC when it was making waves.

If we consider that they already have a huge ton of money that is considered disposable to them and that adoption wasn't widespread enough for the population to take control of BTC then why are we not assuming that there is a huge amount of money from fiat interests manipulating the market?

BTC has the backing of some notable merchants and financial players but the fact of the matter is that Citibank released a statement saying that 1300 was a fair price and it never went higher. 

I think that the amount of money that has gone into development in various aspects of crypto is relevant so I am not worried in the end but this should be considered relevant information.

Not a fair sample size...with regards to time and example.

Personally, I don't think Ripple counts.  Ethereum is still in development and I don't have too much hope for it - it needs BTC in order to sell their higher end product.  Paycoin is a scam and nothing will convince me otherwise.

I placed nothing in all three...and I still stand by my assertion.  

Note, I am not claiming that I have invested in any altcoin that might replace BTC...I actually believe sidechains will do it...

It should be noted that in the last auction the US MArshalls sent millions of dollars worth of BTC for about four cents.

BTC has use but the tech is what is being dealt with right now.  Either sidechains create a BTC on steroids or another alt takes its place.  At least that is my simplified opinion.

I think the reason for the post was to communicate the issues they are encountering with progress...and if one is to infer correctly, I believe it would be along the lines of a notion that there is reticence in releasing a project or providing dates while there is an incomplete product.

They're trying to do something cool and which hasn't been done before...and for the first time in crypto, I think I am seeing a team who wants to release the awesome before the IPO...or as much of it as possible.

At least that is how I am interpreting things here...once the tech work is out of the way than they might be comfortable walking through the cakewalk of other details...if true...mad respect.

It's pretty much limited to putting your phone on a washing machine or hanging it on a string in windy conditions.  Keep in mind that the sync to the network prevents more than seven coins a day from being mined.

At this point, either shaking for a few minutes several times a day is the best way or just keep it on during active movement.  If the difficulty is too high then you might want to attach it to an oscillating fan or something else during the night while you sleep in order to ensure that you get to the maximum sync limit.

Disclosure - I am more than fine at this point mining just a few coins a day - I have no patience to go through the motion of 'automating' the mining process.  I did it once and felt it was too much effort...; )

I think that is a very understated aspect of the current perspective regarding polcie brutality, at least in the states.  We grow up learning the ideological aspect of who the police are and what function they are supposed to serve in our society and as a result, they get attributed an authority figure status that associated with pure ideology.

The fact of the matter is that policemen go through a minimal amount of training and are immediately integrated into a social system that is cut off from the rest of the world where they learn to take their social cues from other police officers.  They then learn loyalty to this social subset and all of the paranoia regarding criminal offenders gets primary reference in their working memories - they essentially view the world as police and not police.  They are also just regular people who are subject to the same temptations as regular people and invariably find themselves committing numerous violations with a very strong basis for rationalization/justification - a basis that everyone else doesn't get.

Studying Black History was amazing in that it allotted me an opportunity to reflect on the historical lack of economic opportunity given to the larger Black community and as a result, offenses such as drugs, prostitution and theft were almost necessary endeavors for economic achievement yet they did not represent a majority of occurrences.  In fact, employed white people do drugs on a level that is similar if not greater than the Black community yet the number of arrests for each demographic is incredibly disproportionate - which means that there is kind of an institutionalized racism that is being employed.  From a sociological perspective and dismissive of the popular ideology regarding police, it is a huge mess that is being almost completely ignored.

If these types of narratives were more prominent and acceptable throughout our society then we might have an opportunity for immediate progress but there is way more motivation to deny and cover up then there is to do this...and that is likely not something that is going to happen for a while if ever.  I keep thinking that the internet has opened up our society to these types of communications but in order for it to have a bureaucratic effect we likely need to see a new generation represented in higher offices...

If this seems kind of discombobulated then my apologies...there are a few points scrunched up in here that likely deserve their own expanded posts for clarity...

Noted...I somehow relegated my Flintstones memories to non working recall...; )

I am not against a rebranding, for sure, but I am personally not against the name Mangocoinz.  There are plenty of successful brands that have names that seem disassociated from their product.  That said, a rebrand could lend itself to being a good way of getting attention to the coin in terms of attention - make it a contest with MCZ being a reward for first, second, and third places decided by a vote (controlled in some way to prevent manipulation).

Koinetics was/is kind of a clever name by the way...I'm not dedicated to aversion because of the Koinify similarity...

Seems like that it is very similar to "Koinify", the crowdfunding guys...https://koinify.com/#/

Is it official that the name is being changed?  I would to like to hear back from the dev and hear how he feels about it.  I think MangoCoinz is fine (Clams made it and is named as a general reference but still sounds ridiculous) and don't want to step on toes regarding a name change...

I like the idea of a donation fund; will send mine soon...-thumbsup-
