321  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Launching an ICO on an Exchange Versus Independently on: November 04, 2017, 07:03:45 PM
That would be like polishing a turd; which is why exchanges probably, mostly ignore ICOs. Why would they give their name to centralized scamcoins with no substance? They have actual, decentralized, transparent and fair cryptocurrencies to deal with.

It would just give a false sense of security for non-suspecting crypto-noobs while they would be still ICO-scams with centralized funds and control belonging to the "devs".


I'm sorry buy your response makese no sense.  Huh  These are the same companies that are eventually being listed on Exchanges anyways.  Where do you think the current companies listed on exchanges started?  They all held their own independent ICO.

What I'm asking / proposing is that we merge the process to make it more difficult for ICO's to just launch independently, help protect the community, and fairly price companies (instead of allowing the companies to control that).

I'm saying big exchanges should keep ignoring ICOs as they do (though there are some curious examples of crap being listed) because virtually every ICO project and startups doesn't know what they're doing. They're gambling with other people's money instead of their own and using the coattail of Bitcoin to lure in and skin newbies.

Why should established exchanges help them do it even easier and also give their names to scams? The bigger exchanges tend to ignore heavily premined coins and ICOs are just that.

Also, some projects eventually getting listed shouldn't be a reason to open the floodgates and to support all kinds of unprofessional projects and straight up scams. Despite this forum is flooded to the brim with ICOs and airdrops, ICOs are not the norm. They're blatant cashgrabs ignoring what crypto is created for and caused by the huge influx of people looking for the next gold rush (that isn't there) after seeing Bitcoin's success. ICOs are rotten from the core as currencies because of the nature of the initial coin centralization and unfair distribution and lack of transparency. Starting them on exchanges doesn't change that.

323  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitconnect starting to disconnect. on: November 04, 2017, 03:11:31 PM
yes it's dropped in market cap but when you look at details you can see that it's less tokens in circulation!

it was more than 7 millions BCC in circulation yesterday, today it's a little more than 2 millions! can someone explain that?
A simple answer is an adjustment in the circulated supply, but actually, I don't care what position bitconnect are on coinmarketcap as long as the value keeps increasing.

This is the circulating supply (8,402,106) not sure what's up with coinmarketcap:



Also, 98.56% of the trade volume is done on their own exchange which is a huge red flag. They can manipulate the price and the volume trivially easily and nobody would be the wiser. No crypto should be taken even semi seriously with such a degree of centralization and lack of transparency.

This project stinks from every angle and it's begging for crippling regulations.
324  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: No signal from PCIe risers on: November 03, 2017, 04:52:18 PM
It's probably using one of the cards as primary (monitor output) and not the onboard GPU. Try plugging the monitor into a card or the onboard graphics port.

I plugged the monitor hdmi cable in the GPU instead of the motherboard and it worked! Thank you so much, I could've found this solution on my own, but with your help the problem got solved in less than 10min, many thanks again!
I set Gen1 in the mobo settings for PCIe speed, is there anything else I should set in the mobo bios settings?

I would setup the primary graphics card to be the onboard in the BIOS so after a restart only the motherboard's hdmi output will work - like it was the case before the reset.

326  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to prove that i am not a Scammer on: November 03, 2017, 02:13:05 PM
i am not gambling i am transforming the money, giving them new money. which they then can gamble/invest with again

That money has to come from somewhere. You're not giving them new money, you're giving them worthless tokens you have created out of thin air for absolutely free and just telling them (as in naive crypto noobs and gamblers) that it's worth something while it's not backed by anything, just fake promises and lies.

And why do you need money from an ICO? Why not launch a fair PoW coin and work from there? So far you only mentioned marketing but nothing with substance which suggest you just want to scam people even if you truly believe you're not.
327  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to prove that i am not a Scammer on: November 03, 2017, 12:38:26 PM
You either fund your own project or find funding elsewhere taking on the risk of not being able to repay it yourself, or downscale your project to a degree which you can afford to see it through but if you want to gamble with other people's money, well you're a scammer.

ICO projects and startups doesn't know what they're doing and just gambling with other people's money while also taking a big chunk of it regardless if they fail.

You don't need a marketing team with 40 people, you need something that's actually works, fair and beneficial and people will use it. Even the fact that you mention you need a small army of a marketing team just reeks of being a scammer. That kind of marketing is just basically there to polish a turd/pump the price of shitcoins/tokens.


It's that simple.
328  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why do dev for new airdrop give little or no token these days on: October 30, 2017, 08:33:22 PM
Because airdrops are premined scams, ignoring everything crypto stands for and should be shamed and avoided.
329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Autorestart a batchfile if a exe file freeze? on: October 28, 2017, 12:35:18 PM
It could be probably done neatly but I just use two batfiles to restart the miner periodically;

the miner .bat file:

:loop
miner.exe ...
goto loop


so that the miner will restart if closed and the second .bat is closing the miner periodically (every hour in this example):

:loop
timeout -t 3600
taskkill -t -f /im miner.exe
goto loop

All I said was that If the only people that bought cryptocurrencies were the ones who had technical knowledge in crypto; btc and alts would still be really cheap. That's not what rambling about profit is.
you say you only want crypto-nerd to use cryptocurrencies then you say Try imagining how much a real currency would be worth if half the Earth adopted it and used it as intended.

Most coins are not meant to be currencies btw, for a coin to be used as a currency someone need to finds a way to get rid of transaction fees and to make thousands of instant transactions in a second and we're not there yet. Also, retarded investors who don't know anything about crypto are not stopping geniuses like you to make a real currency if you want to.

Crypto-nerds and lazy gamblers are not the only two groups of people. Plenty of people in between to adopt it.

You can't and shouldn't get rid of transaction fees completely. A feeless system can and will be flooded with transactions to a point where most people's home computers won't be able to handle running a node so decentralization is out.

I can't speak for Spoetnik nor am I genius but I don't want to make my own coin, nor did I ever made one. No need to have another currency - unless it does something groundbreaking. Copy paste coins, or even worse, click and go tokens that aren't doing something significantly bettern than previous coins are simply pointless shitcoins. Not even experiments as experiments shouldn't require to have monetary value (testnet).

This is basically an open question asking how much people scammed others for. Fascinating.
332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: PIVX once Zerocoin protocol is implemented (10/16/17) ? on: October 26, 2017, 03:44:08 PM
All right, so since this post was created, all three things in the roadmap have activated, with the final one being Zerocoin protocol. The end result? A price drop of more than 10%, fiat value. I am too lazy to calculate the BTC value drop, but I am certain it is not much better than any other alt that withered under Bitcoin's rise. Just goes to show, you cannot always just buy the news. And if this looks like an entry point, check Bitcoin and see that it recovered >10% after Bitcoin Gold!

It doesn't have a stable wallet yet, they're working on it. Wait with your judgement.

FYI it is the first time that a coin integrated the zerocoin protocol while removing the anonymization by the masternodes almost flawlessly. Yes ver 3.0.0 was a little bugy by charging the accumulator with more than 10% of the total pivx holding, but since then a lot of version (now 3.0.4rc3) have been released.

Of course exchanges have had to stop trading for some or restrict wallet functions. But all in all, in my opinion it was a very smooth upgrade relative to the improvements.

How can you say that it was smooth? I get that you really like PIVX but be realistic.

Before RC2/3 everyone forked off left and right for days which meant the network was basically not working for the majority of people. That, along with the 30-40% automint instead of 10% is nothing to be proud of. A project this size should have found and solved these issues during testing, and not on a ~$180 million live net.

Once everything stabilizes though, yes it will be a great achievement but was it smooth? No, it was the opposite of smooth.

334  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DASH one adress has ~50% of the power (51% attack possible?) on: October 26, 2017, 03:04:01 PM
it could be a yuge private mine... maybe the one of antiminer? or one of it's biggest customer...



I'm not sure why they would only mine to a single address though, they could have easily hidden that they mined almost 1% of the whole supply.
335  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have you tried PIVX new anonymization protocol??? PIVX to ZPIV to PIVX? on: October 26, 2017, 03:00:15 PM
It works great, in a few second it's possible to transfer any amount of PIVX to the "accumulator", and then they are transformed into ZPIV, it means that you have a proof of what you send in the pool of the accumulator written on your wallet.dat (upgrade often), and when you wish to withdraw what you own and transform them back to PIVX it goes almost instantly.

value out: 3000.00 Piv
Duration: 573.756 sec.
Sending successful, return code: 0

That's with security level 1 and with an i7-8700k at 4.8Ghz. And the wallet only ever uses 1 CPU core.

I don't think it's about the cpu workload but more the availability of 1000 zpiv note in the accumulator? Did you try with the recommended 42? I never changed that and didn't experience such long time... but it was with smaller amount. When did  you do it? with the new rc3?

so it took ~10min to anonymize 10k$ worth of pivx. can any coin do it faster and safer?

I'm just saying it's not at all instant (for me at least) and I assume it does depend on CPU since it does say it depends on the hardware and it does hog a CPU core while doing it so that might be an issue for mobile devices.

It also takes ~10 minutes to send only tens of zPIV.

Yes, it could be potentially dangerous.

It might be a pool though, but still.

It keeps redirecting me to http://bter.cn/?z

Edit: deleting cookies like 5 times I was finally be able to withdraw my BTC (confirmed) but right after I got redirected again and can't reach the site without clearing cookies. But they still ripped me off with $76 in CNY I can't trade.

Yes.

But now it's even worse with all the airdrop crap spam everywhere while the "devs" pick up most of the coins by airdropping to their sockpuppet acocunts or just straight up keeping huge amount of the premine.


Too many gamblers and too many scammers spewing out premined scams made easy with shit like Ethereum tokens...
