3321  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Aphrodite Coin [APH] boost of Cyprus economy - Coinmarketcap position 5 ! on: April 13, 2014, 09:33:56 AM
http://coinmarketcap.com/2.html

nr 112, it says aphroditecoin has total 84 000 coins.

why is this? before it was on top 100. and i see millions of coins exchanged all the time at poloniex.com.

this looks like a big scam. like the dev's has forked the coin and was selling it to people. waow !?

Coinmarket cap has redone their calculations, the number is what has been produced by miners. So 84000 coins produced, and over 1 million coins last I checked available for sell orders on poloniex. So, dev has dumped the premine and gone silent. Out of all the country/region coins, this is the only one you can say is a scam for sure.

EDIT: Also, as my final say on the matter, if I was going to be suspicious of forum members being involved in this scam, then there are two members posting here that could be involved. Both Niothor and flipstyle posting here both do the following:

1. Defend the developer's fraud.
2. Spend a great deal of time posting FUD and personal insults on other country/region coins.
3. Gain some perverse pleasure at seeing people lose their money to Aphroditecoin or any similar venture.
4. Refuse to acknowledge that there is any merit to conducting an airdrop and introducing people to cryptos this way.
5. Are generally horrible people.

There may yet be a way to salvage this coin and do something with it for the benefit of Cyprus, I'll post again here if anyone is interested and there is a way to contribute. Otherwise, there is no point in buying this coin at all and it should be left alone.

You damn retard!

I am involved in this scam crap ?

Wtf is wrong with your head? Did the whole animal kingdom s*** in it?
You have too much bone and no brain there you idiot.

I warned everybody here that this guy has no clue about cyprus , he doesn't know that half of Cyprus is Turkish he hasn't a clue about anything there probably not even where it is located on the map.

But you , you defended this coin and made lots of people loosing money on this scam. And now you accuse me?

hi devs,
we should change GRS to a POS coin,look at the price of BC,FAC,etc,It is POS coin's world now.

And now from thinking about the miners we go to totally kill them  ? Smiley)))

I love to read the rubbish of the Pesetacoin emos in this thread.
One of the things that i love most about the dev is how he still keeps the plan on, ignoring each and every spaniard that comes here to make FUD.
Is simply, those who believe in the coin, buy it now, is cheap in mining terms. those who despise the coin, the dev, all things crypto, spanish and the world in general, go rush sell them.
At the end, some of us will use it for our everyday lives, to have a cheap, fast, and casual medium of wealth.
The rest, especially those you know who, can go back to the Pesetacoin desert. I mean, forum. kthxbye.

While you accuse the others of being peseta supporters and emo you're obviously a shill or a bagholder. Keep wishing , it ain't gonna happen.

Ah the stink of the most rotten, raw mendacity! One of them packwolves at least admits it although one can't possibly put the common place of "have the decency" next to it because it is so obvious that these wolves don't know what decency is.

Lets go to the basic fallacy: They all pretend, first the interest of the coin and it "future". Them not being Spaniards obviously and having clearly demonstrated that their interest is only to get out and throw the bag they are holding at the slightest of opportunities. Of course they were blinded by their greed coming in and remain so, because they are stupid beyond their greed, first and foremost. Otherwise they would clearly see that, UNDER ANY AND ALL PERSPECTIVES, the only and very remote chance of even a very limited success of this coin hinges, exclusively, in being adopted to some level by a substantial amount of the Spanish population... never mind that this is supposed to be, you know, the "money of the people" ... of Spain, that is. They know this. The dev, stupid as his actions have demonstrated him to be, knows this. And yet, the dev, who is the one making the decisions, is so far removed from reality that even dares to put a "value" in giving -from his own  pocket, mind you- 1 SPA (worth a cent and a half, if you can find somebody blind enough to buy it) to beta testers of the distribution software. Evidently, this guy lives in a parallel reality. So, no one will be surprised to find that for him 1,000, 2,000 -let alone 5,000-10,000- SPAs are a fortune in the making --err, let's clarify that, as stated above 1,000 coins will be worth much less than 5 euros since a significant part of those people receiving them will dump them as soon as they can for real money. So it is a given that whether giving away 2,000 SPas or 10,000 SPAs, there's goinmg to be a dumping, like there always is, on every similar coin, after the free distribution or air-drop. He there was one after the distribution of Aurora, wasn't there? Err, wait a minute, just one minute... isn't SPA a copy of Aurora? yes it is. But Icelandics are very few by comparison to 50 million Spaniards so the results of any adoption by the Spanish people would have a much more significant meaning ... and level of success, right? So, granted, Aurora has not been a resounding success so far but, from where everyone is standing right now, wouldn't you just sign for SPA being worth at any time in the near future, roughly 1 Euro per coin? That wouldn't be that bad, would it?over 100 times what SPA is "worth" today...

But lets go to the core of the mendacity: Since the blinding greed is so obvious, the pack of wolves tell the not the not-the-sharpest-knife-in-the-kitchen dev that he must stick to the original plan because it would add "credibility" to the coin. But, as the dev has stated many times, when he devised that original, initial distribution plan the coin have been expected to reach some decent value, some VERY decent value, actually. Obviously not the value previous to the dump, but a "significant value". How significant -we pressed him to clarify? well, anything "between 10 and 50 euros" (his words verbatim). Something "worth the while" for the Spaniards to try it and hopefully adopt it as their "money of the people". So the "credibility", the "stick to the original idea/plan" actually means to give the people, like I had pointed out in a post above, something between 5,000 and 10,000 SPAs. Now the dev pretends 1,000 to 2,000 maybe will fit the bill even if those ridiculous amounts won't come remotely close to the minimal value of 10 euros, let alone 50.

Fallacy, mendacity... plain stupidity. No wonder the media in Spain will not touch this joke perpetrated by a very, very stupid, nameless dev from Valladolid. Even though the pesetacoin guys have chosen the class act attitude to let the pieces fall where evidently they are bound to fall without any further closeness from them to the obvious stink from this rotten, stupid, stupid attempt to scam money from people. They could easily stick the final fork in the duck, but cleverly choose to remain detached from it, left to its inevitable death.

Hey, but there are the Chinese... in the Spanish traditional vernacular, when you scam somebody, you don't just scam him, you scam him "like a you would a Chinese". Obviously the dev believe that miracle will still happen and he will scam not just the Chinese but the Spaniards also. Tall fucking order if you ask me, because the joke will definitely be on you.

And the pack of wolves, of course.

Nice one. I really enjoyed reading it Smiley

And lack of depth charts Wink
The API used by chart sites to extract the data from the exchanges requires that the entire detailed order book be returned every few seconds or so to every API client.

That API was designed by chart sites assuming that order books would contain only a couple thousand entries at most.  But robots and lack of trading fees generate LOTS of small orders on the Chinese exchange books.  Understandably, the largest exchanges truncate the book after a few thousand entries, which may cover only a narrow range of prices around the spread.

Chart sites should indicate the truncation with "..." or something.  Since they don't, their unwary clients keep assuming that what they see on the chart is the entire order book.

The chart-reporting API should be redesigned to return the order book SUMMARY in log scale (namely, total orders up to to 5, 10, 50, 100, ... USD above and below the spread; or, conversely, what the final price would be if one sold/bought 5, 10 50, 100, ... BTC or USD in one go.  But even that may be too expensive for the Chinese sites to compute and deliver in real time.


we're not talking about the data from the api , we're talking about the data on their websites Smiley
And gox was showing that even with their huge orderbook , i can't understand why huobi and okcoin are hiding this except .... fake data?

the best part if the Data is faked and they hold less coins or equal amounts to those outside of China then we shouldn't expect an over whleming rush of coins leaving their market for ours. 

I am guessing that chinese exchangers hold between 1/10 and 1/5 of the coins that are on bitstamp and btc-e.

There is no way they could have acquired the amount they claim out of the blue.

Time will tell , but I doubt the numbers are that wrong.

it is not "AFTER" yet, much more suffering ahead.

Strictly speaking of .ro , I doubt it can get worse than the ilici era.
And remember that romania is currently ruled by a party with deep connections with the former secret police , something that other eu countries couldn't even imagine at this stage.

Entering the eu helped this country getting out of a real crisis and only idiots living on social aid aren't happy with it.
Most people who like to work and dislike corruption have already left. Only a few still linger around due to family reasons (like myself) or other but 90% of what remained here is made of lazy idiots.

i didnt say its all about the algorithm Roll Eyes but flattening GPU/CPU performance is quite a big deal
on the other hand i could say by your reasons LTC should be worthless..

Litecoin had some advantages...attractive to people wh have "missed the start" and at that time the confirmation blocks.
Both things are worthless now but ltc has achieved some popularity and a strong community to support the coin. And , unlike it's clone it is used for buying/selling stuff.

Mining has nothing to do with usage of a coin. Normal people don't care about how the coins are created , but about their use and value.



Mining pushes transactions so it has a lot to do with the usage of a coin, if there is no incentive for mining transactions will be stuck forever, not to mention the initial coin generation. You want value from a 3 week old coin? How valuable was btc/ltc when it was 3 weeks old? Or you prefer coins to be premined and IPO'ed?

You might see my posts on every ipo coin asking for an escrow as i hate those coins from all my .. everything

It's just that i don't like how everybody is thinking about mining algorithms rather than improvements over transactions / security blockchain size etc..
Why don't you try giving your suggestions rather than blindly pointing out obvious problems with new coins?
I more or less agree with you, but this is not the thread to address those concerns, especially since this coin was neither massively pre-mined/instamined nor it had an IPO, nor does it use chained algos which bloat the blockchain like for example darkcoin and its clones.

This is my way of suggesting people to stop making copies or inventing new whale hunters kits:).

And about this , don't worry I've already posted those in the bitcoin discussion threads. Where people actually hear them.

I don't want to kill enthusiasm but this kind of innovation won't lead to anything

how do you determine the value of a coin?

centralization of mining due to huge pooling or asic development are quite troubles for bitcoin atm..
what kind of stuff impact the value what means "ease to use"?


let's admit... it's a pain the ass to get bitcoin secure them spend them
for the average internet user who googles youtube and facebook instead of typing the address ... there is the need for a new wallet new interface etc...

How about 325%?

Only IGotSpots would do such a thing Tongue.

Actually you gave me an idea for a coin... How about a coin that constantly increases the premine in the second block to be 333% of what is mined Smiley))

it can be used in gas stations!

(If you remember gascoin then you know why i made it and launched it in the cryptsy chatbox)

And what happened to gascoin?

it got secretly premined and was plain stupid. with its 4 second blocks Cheesy
Also not a bad idea. a freicoin based system would go well

ignored exchange   reason
bitxf   unreachable since 09 Apr, 10:47 UTC
btctrade   volume data suspect
coinbase   volume data not published
fxbtc   unreachable since 11 Apr, 11:22 UTC
huobi   volume data suspect
okcoin   volume data suspect


http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/currency/CNY.html
The reasons why people consider their volume suspect are

(1) After the December decree, BTC-China chose to use some sort of voucher system for deposits and withdrawals, whereas Huobi and (later) OKCoin managed to work with bank transfers. As a result, BTC-China's volume fell to nearly zero,  while the volume at Huobi and OKCoin kept growing to about the level that BTC-China used to have before the decree;

(2) Bobby Lee, the CEO of BTC-China, is a Westernized Chinese and an old member of the bitcoiner gang; whereas the CEOs of Huobi and OKCoin are unknown Mainland Chinese guys, who don't even speak decent English and show absolutely no respect for the Great Leaders of the Western Bitcoin World.   Wink

(3) Western bitcoin startups would hardly find investors and customers if they admitted that, since last October, the price of BTC has been entirely determined by a bunch of short-term speculators in Mainland China who, by and large, do not understand the technical aspects and do not care for its long-term potential for internet commerce etc.

An alternative to the claim "their volume is mostly fake" is "most of their traders are Westerners". Westerners who, for some mysterious reason, do not trade between 3:00 am and 6:00 am China time, trade much less during the Chinese holidays, and react only to Chinese media news.

I feel very frustrated.
in last two days, i dumped 130k GRS at 700~800 satoshi,it was hard to dig,
and now ,it is even harder,hashrate grows,block reward decrease,
where is my GRS?

Thank you for dumping (and to all dumpers)
I bought a lot, and sold at 3 times the price i bought. But i keep holding all GRS i mined myself. We are far from the optimal prices (6000 satoshi i think) where the coin can stabilize.

You dumped, and complain about the difficulty. You made a mistake. Now, Groestl begin (and it's just the begining) to attract attention. Price and difficulty will continue to grow. If you want to stay in the train, you have to continue mining and buy when it's low.

Any reason for that besides wishful thinking?

Dear Mr. Bear

I kindly refer you to earlier post,
thank you

IMO

The ultimate PoW algo (which Grøstl is) should keep a level playing field between device platforms. Miners could simultaneously mine the coin either with an android phone (arm processor), or a GPU (nvidia or amd), or an Intel x86 CPU or an ASIC and evreybody gets a fair distribution of coins relative to energy spent.

Groestlcoin is closer to this with the Grøstl algo than any other crytpo today.

It's a big deal.


Who cares about the mining algorithm?
It's the use of the coin that drives the price up.

If the coin doesn't bring anything new for ease of use or anything else ... nothing will come out just out of mining.

what was the deal about LTC then?

Ever heard of tenebrix?

The mining algorithm means s****. Obviously by the reasoning before litecoin should be more valuable than bitcoin.. but .. it doesn't.

This whole charade started by auroracoin will end up badly for people who put money into this

Guess you're one of the bagholders of these coins... do you have any aph?

I have no AUR or ISR but just a bit of some others ( very small amounts and not big hopes for them at the moment but can't hurt)
I have also some other alt's -small amounts of quite a few. Some will die and some might thrive. I have plenty of patience.

Maybe it will end up badly and maybe not,  same was said for bitcoin ( and still is) by many people.
Some may be scams and some not. All I say is not to judge so early. 
No "national coin" will replace the local currency as bitcoin won't. But to survive along side?  maybe.

You see! That's the problem with these coins. There is a 14 yo behind it that really claims that.
So if the people behind the project are really thinking without using their brains ... they are either stupid or the whole thing is a scam.
