Neat, someone likes me. I'll probably give the script a shot in a few days, looks like a great contribution.

WHY!


I'll fix them this last time, but I can't keep editing the +1's, I'm just going to have to end up deleting them after these are fixed. As in my first post in the thread, the same things apply, you are welcomed to edit your post to something other than "I support it". I'm still pretty patient because the +1 rule hasn't really been enforced recently, but please guys read the OP where I link my original post.



This is perfectly acceptable, you are welcomed to have +1 in your reply, but not solely +1.

*edited once again*

Sorry for the mixup, it seems that posting +1s here is allowed. I recieved a clarification on +1 rules in specific places.

Speaking as a CRC user, the thing that concerns me most here, is not Justin's ability or intentions, its that if for whatever reason Blindfolded disapproves of the change, and the forked chain has already gone ahead and made any significant amount of traction, it will be a massive pain trying to fix the fix. It will be node hell, upon the return to the original, the client will be looking for the best height and difficulty, and will not know to ban the existing nodes created by the fork, causing all sorts of syncing errors and issues.

I would highly advise against downloading the new client for this moment. Justin, I'm glad you are helping, but I think it would be a good idea if before releasing the client, you allow Blindfolded to check it over. If nothing else, to just double check to make sure there aren't any mistakes and that your solution will truely help the situation in the more than immediate future.

I don't ignore anyone. If there is someone you don't like, its very satisfying to watch them make a fool of themselves, which you might miss if you have them ignored.

It should be pretty harmless, I'm fairly curious to see how it pans out. Of course some of the older coins have an already established userbase, so they should have a higher vote rate, but we will see how it all turns out.

Not entirely sure why this thread is here since there is another in scam accusation, so this thread may be removed once people migrate to the other here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263994.0

Also, going to also put this here since people haven't yet realized to move there yet.



I'm just saying, you two could just figure something out, and it would all be settled before anymore damage to reputation would be done.

Of course I have been watching the entire thing since it was in Alt Currencies. First off, Staff cannot give scammer tags, it has to be an admin just to clarify. Second, in order for r3wt to get the scammer tag there has to be a few things. (I'm sure I'm missing all sorts of criteria and conditions and such, but I'll make it short and sweet)

1) Loss of value/property etc, so yeah by ruining the coin which he was paid .4 BTC to make, I suppose there was a loss of value
2) No attempt at remedying the situation.


r3wt did admit their wrong here, and it looks like once you two are done with the hurt feelings and flinging mud, you can probably work something out. I would try that before going for the scammer tag, it would save a whole lot of time for both and you could settle it. Also a "SCAMMER" in red letters next to someones name doesn't really get your BTC/Coin back, so its best to try and work something out first. If r3wt isn't willing to negotiate something, you would probably have more grounds for the scammer tag, but of course all of the evidence hasn't been piled yet, so maybe or maybe not.

TLDR: I would advise skipping the hours of compiling information to build your cases and going back and forth at each other, and try to work out a deal, *Cough cough* perhaps wiping the chain and starting fresh, refund, donating the premined coins to go to bounties, I'm sure you guys can figure something out.


Oh, and just as a P.S


No, moderators cannot check your PMs, Admins can access PMs, although if you want them to see them you will have to report them. I've seen this a few times, and just wanted to clear that up, so as much as I'd love to read your weekend plans that you set up with your buddies via PM, Moderators can't.

Make sure you add MT.Gox to this list, I have a few BTC locked away in a Gox account from like 2 years ago because I wouldn't verify my account.

Stickied for a day

I was around through the BTC-E hacking, trading at the time, where someone managed to inject thousands of dollars in "fake USD" and then used those to buy Bitcoins at hundreds of dollars, at a time when BTC had never reached more than $32. BTC-E Took a $40,000 loss that day, and refunded anyone who sold their BTC for the fake USD. That being said, I think the difference here is, what do you want them to do for you in this case? If it was their fault that you lost your money, aka a security breach, I'm sure they would refund you, but since someone hacked your account by phishing, keylogger, whatever theres not much they can do for you. Its not like a real bank, or visa/mastercard, or whatever that can say, ok you aren't liable, because we can then go procecute whoever stole your funds and make them pay a 10x larger fine, if they refunded everyone who had their accounts hacked due to a password theft, they would also have to refund those people who were careless with their passwords and were just begging to be hacked.

Its true, BTC-E's communication isn't great for the most part, they don't write out eliquent messages explaining the situation, I believe because of the language barrier, but they do tend to reply with some sort of message, even if its just a, "we can't help you, sorry."

That being said, as others have said, the only safe place for your coins is on a properly managed/backed up/encrypted wallet client on your own personal computer, leaving any coins in any exchanges or services long term is just not a good idea, because eventually, the site will get hacked, or someone will get your password, or something, and its not a good situation to be in. The trick to trading, is send your coins, do your trade, and get out of there.

I asked him about that yesterday, and he said he has just been busy with work, but will be back into it soon. (not verbatim)

Yeah, I've been talking to Blindfolded nearly every day, and he has been busy for two days now, besides that hes been working on trying to get the difficulty fixed. Gonna call FUD on this one.

Sounds like your friends playing a prank on you. I had a friend who setup remote access to another friend's computer when he was in the bathroom, and messed with him in somewhat similar ways.

Oh come on now


I offered to help you out a few times, to clean up the thread, help you get it back on track, and even offered advice on locking the thread to avoid all of the drama until you had everything fixed. Rather than just moving the thread in the first place, we sent a few pms back and forth, so you can't say that i'm a "hater trying to kill your coin", its just that 90% of all of the comments are off topic, and there was no effort to get the thread back on track, and no desire for any help to get it back on track. If you are serious about fixing your coin, which I'm assuming you are, I'd still advise that you lock this thread at least for a bit, so you have time to get around to fixing without having to defend yourself from the people 30 insulting you. Your official Relaunch of nugget when you are ready is welcomed back in Alt Currencies, but I believe that I have been more than reasonable.

I second this. There is no question that RealSolid is a talented Dev, but as a general rule of thumb, you are most safe with your coins properly secured in your own wallet. I wouldn't leave my coins on Gox/BTC-E for any amount of time, because intentional or not, things happen, and best not to be the one out money.

I have my suspicions that you two are the same person, not that it matters, but just wanted to remind you that you shouldn't bump a thread more than once per day. If you two aren't the same person, don't take any offense, both of you say bump in an uncommon manner "Up" and have a similar choppy sentence structure which caught my attention.

Before thinking about other currencies, you have to think about something. Is the seperate currency just to be used in game? Or do you want it traded on exchanges. I mean, it will probably make its way to an exchange some way or another, but if your main goal is to facilitate an in game currency, accepting other coins may or may not be a good idea. I've seen many Bitcoin/Litecoin based games, where the dev had a good idea, implemented it well, but as soon as the coin takes off, no one wants to use it in game. I played a few different game servers that managed to integrate Litecoins as ingame currency when they were $.02-.03 each, and it wasn't a problem, but as soon as they hit $.20 each, everything siezed up, and no one played the game anymore, because they didn't want to pay $100 for in game services. Being able to make money in your game by playing could be a huge selling feature, but you want to make sure that the coin value isn't too high, or people will stop using it as the game currency. Of course, you can't say how much the coin is going to be worth, but there are a few things you can do to keep the game's economy fluid.
