Actually I do believe it has quite a future, just not in the mainstream. But since cryptos will be a niche part of the economy -best case scenario-, this one has quite a niche already built in: Total anonymity.

I believe that was the spontaneous kiss-ass effort of a deplorable idiot that has nothing whatsoever to do with the group -but loves to be a "groupie"-, but I could be wrong, of course.

OFF - TOPIC that may be of interest to some:

I have been looking for a few minutes at the only new alt that has piqued my interest lately, DarkCoin. It is a very interesting coin, innovative and definitely different: The only crypto currency truly anonymous that I know off. But, other than Batman, would you name Dark anything that you want to be adopted by a lot of people? Really?

But, considering that it was originally called Xcoin, I guess it is one step on the right direction?

Now, if they could somehow make a decent rip-off copy of the BlackCoin logo...

By the way, I believe they were expecting a much bigger "return" of the PR contract signature announcement. Soepkip expected it to go to 55k and Rat4 was very interested in the price development.

TIC...TIC... TIC...

I don't think they can, can they? I haven't looked... nor I feel very inclined to do so but if they can and did, for sure they cannot erase them from my profile and I will simply copy/paste the ones that I feel should remain here... while I am allowed.

There you go!

I have a few to dump so I will be interested...

People, for the most part, are not stupid. They will know.

Problem is that, once invested in the coin, all they will care about is what the price is at Crypsty and MintPal in the next 10 minutes and therefore they will discard -or savagely attack- anything that they perceive as "negative" for those price upticks. Nature of the beast (the explosive mix of untamed greed plus internet anonymity).

But deep down, they will know very, very well.

Mind you, no matter what anyone says, no one, absolutely no one, is in this for "the long run". Some expect this to make them a lot of money in a month, others in 3 months and the DOGE, maybe in a year or two max (because of the mining business). Oh and poor Soepkip probably too. I mean if he would have money -never did, never will- he would gladly pay to be what he is now. He doesn't know it yet but that is the top of where's he's ever going to be. And, obviously, he loves every second of it. He would love to be able to pay the rent with his mining proceeds, maybe a couple more rigs and keeping most of his 100k coins until the are worth maybe $25k which would be more money than he has ever imagine to have in his most optimistic dreams. But he's already getting out of this much more than money will be aver able to buy: He has control over who to bump out from a few temporary active web places. Ephimeral as that will be, he never had it before nor will have in a very near future and forever, so this is his moment in the sun.

Which, in so many ways, brings us to the IE and his own moment in the internet-sun. Difference is that IE has been already been way more successful and had more ideas than Soepkip will ever have, and is at a different level in life,  but the personalities are quite similar.

Not really. I love the logo in this thing, it is simply gorgeous, but it looks like I will have to leave it to self destruct and become an amused occasional observer.

By the way, I have posted this already -and obviously no one here (or there) cares one bit if they are dealing or not with the lowest level of supposed delinquency- and I will post it again since a few of the BC people is going to actually be quite near to him at the upcoming Bitcoin Conference, Amsterdam 2014. He will be one of the speakers/panelists. The name of this "angel" is Brock Pierce and, well, the Multipool has a big campaign going non with a KnCMining Titan rig as a the prize. This guy, Pierce, sits on the board of KnC. And he has a bit of history, rather unsavoury:http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bryan-singer-sex-abuse-case-699828

OK, let's go from dictator to dictator... The censorship over there is just plain funny... well not just plain funny. kind of "Lord of the flies" funny.

And now IconicExpert, who is probably the single individual with less capacity to accept criticism, will hold the keys to lock out those who disagree with him...

That's beyond funny.

You guys DO know that you are in fact playing into their game, don't you?

Anyway, while I have probably a few minutes before I'm declared persona non-grata here too, I just wanted to point that out.

SOME COULD BE INTERESTED IN THE COMPANY THEY ARE BUYING FROM

Or, to be more precise, who sits on the board of KNC: The name of the "angel" is Brock Pierce and he is one of the speakers/Panelists at the upcoming Bitcoin Conference, Amsterdam 2014.

Here's a bit more about him: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bryan-singer-sex-abuse-case-699828

This is sadly kind of funny, really.

The game of musical chairs seem to continue ("the dev will not be in but almost for sure as an advisor", one minute, "the dev will not only be in but will have to approve of the rest of the board", the next...)

And, slowly but surely, the cloak and dagger schemes coming to light: There IS an organized investment group operating in the background and closely linked if not controlled by one or more smooth operators of the dev team. There IS in "buying on dips" scheme when buying with the proceeds from the Poll (why wouldn't it be if they are killing several birds with the same stone, i.e.: dumping (carefully) their millions of coins and buying back on dips they control and create: No risks there). Can the group have an approximate holding number more or less exactly 7.5 million coins... just to make Iconic's "wild accusations" completely exact? I am going to bet that that is -or was as of yesterday- the exact number than this organized group controls. And since I am on a betting mood, I am going to also bet that the DOGE IS indeed part and parcel, the key one, that controls this group. Keeping on the betting mood, I am going to also bet that we are going to find out, very, very soon, the rest of the players, identities, wallets (some of them, not all of course) and all. Interesting to wait and see.

Oh and there IS a massive land grab rush that has already taken place (save for a couple of musical chairs still to be assigned), because, quite frankly, IconicExpert steered the pot, not only demanded a plan but came with one on his own -wild as it was (the guy can be quite wild), it WAS a plan-, was getting quite a bit of things done and presented an obvious problem for the "group" that otherwise would have gladly let things evolve they way they were evolving because, frankly, they were evolving extraordinarily well for the group and much better than any average for the sheep investors and newcomers. So IE became a thorn that had to be counter and neutralized with a rushed land grab, official, not  in the shadow, as it was in reality... Ta da: The Foundation.

Now they are selling you, the sheep investors and other ra-ra gallery, the pen of the Foundation purpose and goals... to be carried out, basically, by that very group of investors that want you to see nothing wrong with the controlling group of holders of the coin being also in control of the destiny of the coin. In other words, playing with marked cards... not in other words, in those exact words.  Funny indeed.

Io te saluto, Don Corleone...

Once again thanks . But you get me more and more confused with every new answer rather than the other way around. We may have a misunderstanding problem here. Let's start from the beginning: I read you telling IE that you were aware of at least 5 Pump and Dumps. I may have misunderstood but in the context of that answer, it seemed that those 5 had been orchestrated by "the group of investors" that were going to initially be "The Foundation". This was a group -is a group- of people on IRC (among other places) that you have corroborated in front of you, on IRC, approached IE to participate in one or more of those. I hope I am right so far in my understanding? There were not any Chinese group approaching IE in IRC, is that right? Nor any Twitter group pushing for IE, in front of you, on IRC, to join them, am I right?

I must admit I find it extraordinary that you know what Colin's investment style is even when he has admitted to being "terrible" at day trading, which implies he has day traded, to begin with, and know that he is accumulating buying on dips ("buying on dips" in cryptos, IS daytrading).

Couple more questions if I may, is The DOGE going to be a board member of the proposed foundation?

What are Soepkip's qualifications to be on the board?

thanks in advance.

When you accept that licking ass is a way of life, many other pieces fall into place, of course.

It doesn't apply to everyone though...

Thank you maarx for, selectively, answering on Colin's name. But since you seem to be the guy who knows all about the proposed foundation (at least your are the one that has me more confused with the constant musical chairs) AND the "group of investors" that were going to be the Foundation-but-are-not-going-to-be-no-more, and that I understood were the ones behind those 5 pumps, including the "mostly Chinese" one, why don't you answer all of them? Is or was Colin one of the group?
Is he going to be a member of the board of the proposed foundation? Oh I know "99% of all these questions are going to be answered by the website" but I am more interested in the other 1% if you don't mind much. Is Soepkip now in or out? The Doge posted the only him and Rat4 from the devs team would be part of the Foundation, is that on still or off?

Please feel free to add anything beyond the strict answers that you may consider valuable.

Thanks!

The questions in the first paragraph, Colin...

I not only did not support his pump but was, far and above, the most outspoken and acerbic critic of the idea... and yet, he did not included me in the list of accused...

Colin I don't know if you are part of "The Group" or part of the group that rushed to grab the land of "The Foundation". I know that you have an extraordinary interest if getting funds for this proposed "Foundation" for no reason at all (in the words of Soepkip, you guys -I include you, on assumption only- have been acting at the foundation from day one. So why would you need to the "The BlackCoin Foundation", when you effectively could have continued doing exactly what you propose to do under the foundation umbrella, just like you were doing before. Why? Sounded like a good idea at the time? Nobody came with the idea that perhaps it wouldn't be ethical that the destiny of the Coin would be in the hands of a few investors? Were you aware of the at least 5 Pumps and counting and the people involved in them? Are you now aware of who the proposed board of the proposed foundation are? (this seems to be changing like a game of musical chairs as we speak...) Are you aware that Soepkip admits to just being a modest miner who owns just over 100,000 BC and cashes in every once in a while "just to pay the rent"?

If I am correct in my deductions, you are included in IE's list because a buddy of yours (or The Group" if you are not part of it, has let him know that you are  indeed involved in the conspiracy. Since he has no permission to do so, IE will not reveal who the informer is... but I firmly believe that we will find out soon enough. He/she may have and deliver the proof you are so repeatedly asking for and pretending it didn't exist. If that's the case, you may find very hard to justify your position, your "generosity" and the repeated questioning. So why don't we start by you answering clearly those questions on the above paragraph? Oh and have I said that if you feel IE's has libeled you, it'll cost much less than $5k that you are so "generously" donating, to get his ass in a New York Court? You see, this may be the Wild West, but libel here is still a serious and punishable legal offense.

Just in case the idea hadn't crossed your mind...

What is a "lie" that I have posted? Just one?

You can post here whatever you want but the fact is the TheDOGE is your "master" in the sense that he can get you in or out of the BC mining business whenever he wants, or is this "another lie"?

Like I said, keep on licking your master's asses, your mining pool business depends on it.

You try to keep on serving your masters, ok? You are, as you well know, quite expendable, so just keep on licking asses, alright?

When he made that claim, very, very recently, he wasn't hurting -butt or otherwise-, at all; just stating a fact to debunk the myth that BlackCoin wasn't pre-mined. If the guy who paid 37k BTC for a pizza is not butt hurting -as you so graphically put it- I doubt that this guy, that obviously controls some very effective mining equipment, can be hurting after having made quite a mint, even selling at 10k, just pointing his rig to BC...

But I guess that assuming others may be "butt-hurting" would make your own pain easier to carry?

A problem indeed.

I thought you genuinely wanted to know my opinion... I was, obviously wrong because why I am here is hardly the point.
