Bollocks. PoW isn't fair at all. A few guys with serious mining gear will grab the majority of the coins and then they can manipulate the market at will. What's the difference, if big miners or big ICO investors playing God on Polo and Trex?


When NXT started back in 2013 summer BTC was somewhere around $60-80 but even during early autumn it was something barely above $100 (it exploded in the second part of october and in november) that's doesn't seem to me very restrictive. Most of us were simply more interested in quick profits on LTC clones or on other crap, and by the time NXT exploded it was to late to jump on board.


To be honest I just simply don't like if butthurt people complaining about unfairness after not reading the ANN topics. BTW unlike in the case of NXT I've intentionally missed this ICO as I think it will follow the same path as NXT: good innovation -> zero marketing -> sink.
I'll go for a clone with proven good marketing folks around .

P2P currency, exchanges and marketplaces are the way to avoid/bypass regulations. I think we need more effort on the marketplace part as I still cant buy two rolls and a pint of milk with BTC. Unfortunately bitcoin merchandise, precious metals and mining gears aren't edible .

Never. Just get used to this. Please note that this is just the beginning of the year, later I guess we will see more 2.0, 3.0 whatever coins popping up like mushrooms after rain. I expect to see this year the start of a new 2013-2014 style coin cloning era.

That's fine, but who will contribute to the regulation on behalf of this community? The Bitcoin Foundation could have been that, but the leadership were after the quick buck (and some of them were common criminals) so they lost their significance by now. Then who else?

There are nobody who are accepted by this community and also taken seriously by the other side. So being a part of the regulation process is a dream what won't happen. BTW who are the other side? That side is also widely divided and there are very little cooperation between states and financial organizations. I believe you are too optimistic and we will end up with a lot of localized government imposed regulations and we will have to accept and live with that or fight a guerilla war for our money by moving it to the country what provides the best environment and the less disruptive regulations.

Regulation, banks, politicians and centralization are unfortunately coming in the same package. I few times I've pointed out how funny when alleged crypto fans are praising coins what made close relationships with banks.

I agree, the ICO was there all of us know about it. Actually this argument is pretty much the same as in the case of NXT. The NXT ICO was open, it was here for a long time but only twenty some people was interested enough to invest some BTC in it. During the beta testing they also gave away a lot of NTXs for testers, for a while it was also sold between 100-300 sats here on BTT. When it later went to the moon a big bunch of people started accusing them with ninja launch and talking about fair distribution.

They kept communicating in the ANN thread before, during and after the ICO, also they had some ICO topic as well. I haven't seen too much IOTA threads here on this board indeed, but CfB and his fans not used to shilling around on a dozen of sockpuppet accounts like some other devs and fan boys used to do. Personally I appreciate that.


Some Monkey dust quote turned up in my mind while reading about a "recent poll on here around":

" - Our poll of a thousand people in the east midlands reveals that 99 percent of them would rather be told what they want to hear, than be told the truth.
- Is that the truth?
- No, but it's what you wanted to hear."

BTW I'm not an IOTA investor.

These are old news. First time turned up in 2012. I still haven't seen the arrest warrant, however Russians used to document well such affairs.

Probably people who have seen eth making orbital profits trying to repeat the success. Also javascript is conidered an easy to use widespread language, so maybe it will be easier to find dapp programmers than in the case of C++, go or ruby. (However this isn't true for Python.) We'll see how it goes. Anyway competition is always a healthy thing.

That's great!  ...and when do you lads and lasses planning to actually do something real stuff for the suffering muslim woman? I know that wouldn't be as comfortable like nagging with some western companies because of the hair colour of the barbie doll or something like that, probably also not that profitable, but that would serve the good of humanity .

Wrong again mate . The bible said god created woman as a companion to man. The creation of the woman from his rib tells that they are the same flash and blood, therefore they are equal parts of the whole. Everything else is just human addition according to some tribal traditions and local customs.

But we dislike regulations, banksters and such stuff. Aren't we? We dislike scammers too, so this is a difficult question. On one side we have banksters and lawyers on the other side we have scammers and a few honest guys (being a honest guy not necessary means that the coin will be successful). Which one do you like more?

BTW, where are the third, fourth, whatever generation feminists? Shouldn't they at least start twitter and FB campaigns or make demonstrations around the Pakistani embassy (of course in a safe distance from the building) ?

Read what he wrote, and then try to understand what you just have read mate... :/ You might realize that he's not "promoting" domestic violence, but condemning such actions.

Actually gambling is already considered as a metal illness by some psychologists, but who cares. Gambling itself is a form of entertainment, addiction is a separate health issue. You can find people who are susceptible for forming addictions, everywhere not just in gambling. BTW being a maniac workaholic can ruin someone's family life just as much as being an addicted gambler, but in a different way.

No. It isn't. Some more easily available foolproof microtransaction optimized altcoin going to be future of online gambling. Bitcoin is a speculative vehicle what soon can be too expensive for occasional gamblers. In addition with it's current technical limitations BTC isn't really good tool for millions of gamblers to move money around.  

OK. You have a PoS coin, and proud about it. Got it. ...and then what? There are tons of PoS coins out in the wild, everybody can catch some .

Bullshit. I agree it's a shitcoin but this rise is just the usual pump and dump. On altcoin exchanges money is going from coin to coin and trying to multiply itself . Now a group with a lot of money pumping SYS. Next week, or even tomorrow they will pump something else. Nothing new here. Such actions on the exchanges not going to make any coin a scam. BTW bitcoin is also often pumped and dumped but we are still here.

I'm not surprised. Most people failing to realize that muslims are not our friends. Some of them whom we know personally maybe friends, but the majority of them are distanced themselves from us and have a very different agenda for the future.

Well, OK... but an AI cant send out scouting drones? Every kind of intelligent entity trying to discover and map its surroundings. More likely they are simply very far, or they are just at the same level as we are, or they are far beyond our level and we don't notice their presence.
