I think one of main problems in stock pump and dump schemes is that market participants, not trusting each other, should decide what to pump and when. This is a variant of Byzantine Generals Problem. Often, the solution relies on a leader who tweets stock picks (see stocktwits.com), and if enough people trust him, pump and dump will succeed. But this has a centralization problem: the leader could be tempted sell his picks to paying customers before the announcement is made, or he can be arrested by authorities, because pump and dump is illegal of course.
Now imagine a "pumpdump" blockchain, miners would mine for the solution and for the right to announce their P&D stock pick. Miners are incentivised to select good P&D candidates, because if no one joins, their mining effort will be wasted.
This is retarded on so many levels... Do you stay awake at night thinking about how you can scam people more efficently? |

Also, can we implement 2 more colloms: 1: Result: "Win" "Lose" or "Pending" 2: Dicenumber "XX" (So we know if it was a loss by a few digits, or by a big margin  ) |

with all the fud around msc/xcp being thrown out or being manipulated by miners - how do you handle this problem? I am pretty sure that the bitcoin developers do not want to see another bloating of the blockchain. they even do not really like financial transactions like xcp/msc on chain - do you think they will accept more gambling? Is there any incentive for the miners to accept cha transactions?
what is the big advantage over staoshi dice?
Not trusting another site to payout for example |

Yeah, i am sure this will never change. Litecoin will forever be one of the most traded coins....
I've been watching that chart for the last 4 months, and indeed it is the most traded coin ( since I started watching) I know that. What i was trying to say was, that bitstamp tries to maintain a professional image, and adding Litecoin would not help this image. I bet I am not alone with this opinion. Bitstamp is the only exchange not trading Litecoin, I get your frustration about "the what Litecoin adds"... usually it is a business decision and not what I think or what do you think but what the market is voting for. in other words market needs. Ok, let me be clear, I remember once when we were changing servers (my previous job) and our infrastructure for the last 15 years was all bought from Dell, now as I was the latest addition to the team I was open to pretty much anything, but the older Admins didn't want to go HP because they didn't see why HP instead ? Dell hardware works same, even better because they Had years of experience amd they were used to it, for some reason the Regional business team decided HP..... Long story short, some members of the team didn't like it but they got use to it and I think the company did benefit out of this big time.... I can tell you many examples but I am sure you do understand what I am trying to say here  i know what you are saying and i understand perfectly. What i am trying to tell you is, that while it may be valid shortterm decision to add LTC to increase revenue, I think longterm it might be better to not add it, so that the platform looks more professional and more "Big" guys use it. (This comes from a guy that holds a big number of LTC myself, and sure it would certainly be good for the LTC price) I don't know, we will see about that, I have been trading exclusively on Bitstamp for more than a year now, and I don't feel comfortable anymore using BTC-e for my Litecoin trading, Kraken has almost 0 volume, bitfinex seems like a good replacement but the volume is till really low. This reminds me of myself! BTC/USD bitstamp (SEPA funding is very easy) and everything with leverage and LTC I do on bitfinex. I like both the same. But I have to say that Bitstamp looks more professional because of the lack of LTC trading |

Is litecoin going to be added?
No plans for that atm. Thank you. Please consider not adding it forever NXT maybe ? Dogecoin ? no ? what about shitcoin ? yes it does exist....  mmmmm now what would Bitstamp do ? (hazek: vem da nisi ravno fan altov samo to je mal za hec  , enkrat bom prišel k vam na kavico pa bova o tem debatirala, da ti mal adrealin steče po žilah, PS: nisem fan altov, samo litecoin je razred zase... ja, zato ker jih imam ) Yeah, i am sure this will never change. Litecoin will forever be one of the most traded coins.... |

What do you guys think about the ChanceCoin? It is similar to the counterparty system. You need to burn BTC to receive CHA. When you have CHA you can trade vs BTC on the decentralised exchange. Also you can use your Coins to play provably fair Dice (also decentralised) IN THE CLIENT. Sounds awesome, what do you think? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=528023.0 |

Chosen Developer will receive 50-100k Nxt plus % ownership upon completion of project.
Please consider that no serious developer will code anything if you don't give them an advance (usually 33~50% of the final sum), and this is in the real world were you can be sued if you don't pay... here in altcoin world I would ask many many small installments for every single step I code. HTH. Is it True then that your AE system can buy . sell . anything ? such as pictures , videos and drugs. ? Not with the Asset Exchange. But with the Digital Good Store Feature, yes you can! The Digital Goods Store and its ability to build a decentralized marketplace is going to be one of NXTs strongest Feature. But nobody talks about it. How are you able to sell drugs on a DIGITAL goods store? |

Sold him some BTC for stars. Smooth trade and good chat with him!
So you tell me I'm not trusted in your eyes but he is? >-< There are factors that make someone trustorthy, for example a long poker history and an active playing history. You had none of that. And you had a fresh stars account. |

No, the AE stands for asset exchange, and you will be able to buy things like stocks or other currencies. |

Hi Guys, Newbie problem/question so please bear with me I installed the windows version of the NXT client yesterday from http://nxtra.org/nxt-wallet/ and funded it with a small amount of NXT. I now can't find it on my PC. There's no reference to it in the programs folder where I would have expected to find it and no link on the desktop or in the tray at the bottom of the screen. When I do a search of my PC all I can find is the NXTWallet-Win Zip folder. My OS is Windows XP. Where's the client gone?  TIA for any help. Do you still have the password? then your funds are safe! Your program is wherever you unpacked the zip file. It does not install itself in program files or add shortcuts. So basically if he ran it directly out of the zip, then it is/was only stored in the %TEMP% folder. Just reinstall it then and save it this time, then you should be fine! Thanks for the fast responses. Yes, I did run it directly out of the zip and sorry to say never realised i needed to manually save it. I've checked the Temps folder but can't find it. I did though save the auto generated pass phrase so if I ever do find the missing client, I can get my NXT back but it was only a small amount so not a problem. Meanwhile I'll install a new client and this time save it! Thanks again for the help The client is completely independent from your passphrase. You can reinstal the client and just use your old password to access your NXTs. They are still there. The concept is called brainwallet, and with your password you can access your funds from everywhere in the world without any files needed! |

The problem with africa and mobile apps is, that most cellphones there are not capable of running apps. While it would be nice to "capture" the cellphone payment marketshare, it won't work, until africa upgrades its hardware!
I think we should invent cheap smartphones and then spread them there Haha that would be awesome. NXT/NEM sending africa to the 21th century! "A sub-$50 no-contract smartphones are already a reality today. The MTN Steppa. It’s a pretty bad phone: Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, 2MP camera, single-core processor, 480×320 HVGA screen. But it’s a genuine smartphone nonetheless, with a 3G antenna, Google Maps, Gmail, Facebook, Opera, and YouTube. And it retails for less than fifty dollars (no contract.) " www.techcrunch.com/2014/02/08/in-3-5-years-most-africans-will-have-smartphonesIn Kenya, cell phone usage increased by 4,000,000 users last year. Kenyans use cell phones for everything from buying groceries to paying rent. Kenyans pay $20 for cell phones with banking, streaming, and communication capabilities. kenyasocialventures.com A simple app that can just send and receive NEM would be a great starting point. We can team up with a few entrepreneurs or business students at a local university and donate a few $50 smartphones. I am sure they will find NEM useful for one of there projects. I didn't know that. Do you think that those 20$ cellphones are able to work with a very simple text based NEM app? |
