So much going on. Even I am impressed.

Oh well ... nothing ventured ... nothing gained. Going to the interview anyway.

The ladies sure like a famous company name on the business card. I fondly remember carrying my KPMG cards and showing off ... when it needed an extra kick  

Here is a little story that has come around again it seems:
 - In 2003, was offered a choice: Join KPMG as an accountant ... or join a startup that dealt with migrating databases for large companies. Learn IT while doing accounts for the startup.

I went with KPMG because Accountancy is a trade that requires at least 10 years of exp to start being good. Was headhunted for KPMG Tax Technology Team, some geeks they had writing internal software could not handle accounts and the accountants were not geeks, I was supposed to be the bridge.

Until the 2007 financial crisis, when I left.

Mid-2007 The startup went on to sell itself for £200million ... of which as one of the early employees I would have had £1-2 mil in shares.

I was young and clearly foolish.

Now ... PWC is working on UK Government blockchain, which sounds a lot more fun than writing tax software
On the other hand, crypto could use my full time dedication.

We shall let the masses decide on coinfest UK - April 8th & 9th 2016 http://coinfestuk.org/

I bow to the masters. Mal and Ivica are Kings among men.

That would be my 1st choice ... if I had not been shaken out so much in past few years that have such a grudge and would require April being pumpalicious month I believe it will be.

Not being paid to mess with crypto and if anything, need funding to make things happen ... or get a £50k+ job making crypto whales suffer and pay taxes???  

Faced with a conundrum ... not an April Fools joke, but this would be a good one if it was  

Do I attend an interview with Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PWC) for their Blockchain Technology Team? I am an accountant with a good contact at PWC

Or do I leave London and pray that gods of Crypto are kind enough to fund my country wide effort of spreading alt coin word and bringing in developers and companies.

Tough call.

-- On one hand, next four years I'd be fronting Bank of England and UK Government blockchain effort to enslave Humanity.
-- On the other, women, weather, food and drinks are way better in Serbia. Plus, I would help make Serbia the capital of crypto developers and make some people rich.

Do you want to see a better government crypto or a better people's crypto???

Had a look at Evo a while back, I do like the project, even if I might have some reservations about the whole co-op. Not due to Evo, because every good idea in crypto has been pushed down to oblivion.

It's almost as if there are a few knuckleheads with way too much BTC and influence that are doing their best to seek out and destroy anything that might take crypto from being pure gambling into something useful.

Also, still looking for a whale with a science background that actually wants to support science in crypto.

Probably working on coinfest or API or integration .. or maybe .. just maybe, they are in a business meeting .. drinking

There is a GameCredits slack already and in reality, how many people are going to chat about GAME on it that aren't there already?

Going to an interview with PriceWaterhouse Coopers (PWC) for their Blockchain Tech Team, no set date, when I feel like it. Ahh it's good to have contacts. I am so using GAME in my interview  

Might need to change my Twitter to VarvarinPWC 

PoS model suffers from one rather large issue. Traders don't stake ... and staking takes patience.

Far too many PoS coins linger on exchanges providing income for the exchange itself to sell regardless of the price, since it cost them nothing. Patient whales like to accumulate and stake, with little regard to the markets over a short term, some even welcome price drops as it buys them more % of the market for less.

Saying that, coins are on a schedule and right now PoW coins are being pushed up before LTC rise ... but before LTC, tradition dictates a POS coin rise.

Big boys of PoS are going to lead the way, PeerCoin from $10mil cap, Black Coin from $2.5mil and MINT (started already) from $1mil.

Just had a brief look, interesting. Very interesting.

Merged folding is a great idea, there is very little reason to be in direct competition working on achieving the same goal.

If ETH hadn't stormed in last summer and dragged off all the GPU miners to it, Folding would have received a boost. Guess just have to wait for ETH to go PoS and all the juicy GPU power can be harnessed for good.

Nice! Looks like Charles and I need to have a word finally. Was hoping to see CryptoCompare at the coinfest, looks like I just may ... or could just call him  

Definitely easy free publicity, rather a few coins have been shouting how MS is accepting their coin, rather than using that "MS wants every blockchain" ...

Ooohhh ... nice ... inspirational, like the scratches ... groovy.

Pretty banner .. I like.

I have a lot of friends in the Serbian music community, pretty much know someone who knows all the musicians. For those that know Serbian rock scene: Kerber is a neighbour of mine, Galija a friend of a friend and that's just the old guard in my city of Nis, all the younger generation are friends of mine

Have touted the idea to the friends to have a think and 1st reactions are positive.

Music and blockchain are such a natural fit, it is a wonder how little progress is being made there. Bit like gaming, of which both I hope to have a hand in changing for the better 

Nice, that's what I like to hear. Thank you.

Going to have a legendary team on GAME. Right now it's on epic level  

Yeii welcome.

And looks like the ZeitTrain is filling up

Belated reply, was sleeping off a cold.

No disrespect, serious investors contact developers directly rather than on forums. If there is one team contactable, which is proving rather useful, it is GameCredits ...

Howdy. Have to say, that is a rather good idea. Not far off from what I had in mind when talking to my teen devs, to think along the lines of developing an idea how to bring crypto awareness in classrooms. Kids already understand how it works and don't ask why is this worth x?

Will send you a PM with my email for contact, if you wish.

Right now I have a link to probably the finest programmers available, one of the ideas I will bring to the table is Android wallet and app. Without funds, will have to wait my turn, at least until coinfest is over. Most likely will have something in place for mid June event ... not going to spoil what event, let's say a good kind .. unrelated to markets (that's not my job)

Just a token of our appreciation to your hard work in the cryptoland.  


We have not set out to destroy anything, especially not a good coin like DGB.

Perhaps we are being a tad arrogant when we say ... there is nothing like GAME on the market. Then again, I doubt any coin has the support and trust GameCredits is working on and building rather successfully.


There is no need to answer specifics, all the information is already available to all. The other part is behind the scenes, which is a trade secret until it becomes public. .... then again, no one can really jump in and take GAME contacts and try to rip off the ideas.

Gaming companies with a serious amount of programmers and clout are working with or are very interested in GameCredits. Not because the coin itself is something special, because the team behind it is. Believe it or not at own peril  

Forking has it's own issues and multi-algo is a lot harder to predict. It is not out of the question, more caution since we would depend on someone else to code it right ... for now

For the moment, we are building a non-profit organisation geared toward education and crowdfunding scholarships.

Think I'll have to ask a favour from Ray or someone to post a quick update to mining pool info and code.

Been rather busy with team building, just returned from a 10 day trip ... got more sleep on the plane and bus than in the 10 days.

Expect some new graphic designs for the logo and banners within 2 weeks, this time we are on a timer. After the http://coinfestuk.org/ will do a full scale design relaunch. NO FORKING or such, just finally have some people who can draw and are itching to help.

For this coinfest I am wearing a GameCredits t-shirt with my name on it ... for the next coinfest, we'll have a bunch of teens wearing EMC2 ones .. you can count on that. And I can wear a t-shirt with my cat on it
