I just posted this on Nitrateville,the biggest vintage film forum about the closing down of IMDB community forum that was huge, well-loved and old.  Corporations have done this to several other well loved community get togethers, like MP3.com and essentially MySpace.

"I consider these kinds of things a breech of trust of corporations.  It's been done several times before on the Internet.  This is what the whole Bitcoin/blockchain science is about, creating decentralized hubs of information that cannot be taken down because they are not centered in a corporation.  The ledger of Bitcoin is distributed by "mining" like the way Napster circulated music.  There are over 500 other cryptocurrencies like Synereo, Golem, Ethereum, Augur, that do similar things.
Synereo is call the Facebook Killer because it hopes to be a decentralized Facebook type app..  "

So, I just told people who would be totally clueless about what the alternatives will soon be.

I think what fools a lot of people is when the miners and pools get involved.  That means nothing.

More people should know that it's very easy with a little money or "partnership" to create a blockchain currency and hence fool people with a good idea.   Then, maybe when it's obvious that the dev has no history or linkedin page etc. the chances of there being no intent to deliver are high.

Can anyone track down who this dev is?

It seems GNT is looking for beta testers of a product right now, and I'm not sure the others have this level yet. 

I did invest a little in most of the coins mentioned and they've pretty much all gone down lately.
Hopefully the BTC ETF news when over will see them go up.

The thing that is odd about Yobit is how difficult it is to use.  Nothing is all there on one page like it is on Polo or Bittrex.  You can't see what you bought something at, what the orders you put together, the scroll bars are very tiny and you really have to aim to hit them as a type of getting you use to what possible abuse you may have in store for you for using them.  They never even tell you the name of the coin, it's always in symbol.  Why don't they just make a decent interface?

Sorry, for some reason this wasn't in my feed for replied to topics, at least that I saw.   [CLOSED].

I think the Western world needs to invest in Bitcoin farming, whether with government incentives or not.
And the alts can only stay alive if they are mined. 

I have about $200 BTC to sell, can be done in different transactions to different people for less.

Well, if it's copied, I don't think the previous owner can sue anyone.   It's abandoned without good intent if they don't act on it.

A lot of devs don't like BTCtalk because of the abuse/FUD.  Maybe he is more mature than people think.

It's really obvious how to enter on these new coins.  Buy a little at the first price, then set a buy stop above and one below. Whichever one is hitting is where you should follow.  No sense in buying a lot of coin right away fearing it's going to go way up.  This one just kept going down until now (and hopefully will start to keep going up). 

There needs to be like a free virtual cryptocurrency college on YouTube or livecoding where people can learn to use these new technologies. Can't depend on geeks or money people alone to launch this stuff.

GOLEM ALPHA

https://golem.network/alpha.html

CGI rendering is the first and very illustrative case of real Golem usage. Rather than using costly cloud-based services or waiting ages for one's own machine to complete the task, CGI artists can now rent compute resources from other users to render an image quickly. The payment from a requestor (in this case, a CGI artist) is sent directly to providers who made their resources available. In addition, when the artist's machine is idle, it can itself accept tasks from other users.

It probably just shows the good faith of the whale community to whet the whistle....there were PASC being bought for enormous prices when it launched...if people are going to trade with ten's of BTC, then it's maybe like a champagne bottle splash of a ship being launched.  It costs something but what is involved is so much greater. 

Can you explain what this means in a few more words?  Doesn't make sense the last part.

It's going up.

Think of how great it would be to be able to buy supercomputer power for your projects.  Some people thought 3D printing was a too oddball concept ten years ago and probably only a vanity type industry.   You could use GOLEM for all kinds of business AI apps, even if you have some money to kick around for art projects.  There is a huge range of artists who are involved with science, and it's been like that for hundreds of years.

Chiming in my 2 cents as that's about the level of hashpower I'm able to put here.  Since the pool is about 1/8th of what Kano currently is, and while we may be losing one of our biggest hashers here if I read him correctly, I am hoping there might be two simple changes considered.  This could be a great pool for people who have old miners.  I am putting an S1 here now and then, but I have a lot of interest in other coins and it's interesting to mine them.  There are even new SHA256 coins being created and the profit on those can be immense if they pan out, even with a SHA256 miner. 

My main question is, why does a gridseed orb work on cv's solo pool and not here anymore?  Can that be fixed?  At least it would help keep my balance from disappearing with the bigger hashes happening.   Another question is what others have asked, can merge mining come back?

I see that you now have a monero pool going so maybe your thoughts are elsewhere.
