This seems serious:
http://coincidental.eu/2016/06/29/waves-is-not-ethereum-for-the-sake-of-god-dont-buy-it/

Has there been any comment from Mycelium's team yet? Given that WAVES was part of their marketing campaign, it doesn't seem like they did much (if any) research before asking for people's money for crowdfunding. Perhaps Mycelium will distant it's business from WAVES but this still goes to show that there was no clear plan for what was going to be done with funds from the crowdfunding and it more or less served as a cash injection/donation. In this case, they used WAVES just to gather up hype around their project.

we should wait till End of July 2016. because they have a roadmap till that month. if things don't shape up or show anything more than today, it will be as you say.
Doesn't the fact that WAVES has been blatantly lying to people up to this point already put both them and Mycelium in a bad spot? It's been quite some time since WAVES' ICO took place and there's still no half decent code in their repository, most of the stuff there is either for web-design or other renamed open source projects.

i wouldn't be too quick to jump the gun. it hasn't even been a month after the ICO (nearly though. lol!). if all it takes is just a few weeks to say "this project is a total goner"...lol. but whatever it is, we do what floats our boat best. oh and Tai Zen and Leon Fu are still in the WAVES game. so i ain't gonna call the shots first just yet.

waves turned out to be a scam sure. But mycelium seams legit right? You cant really compare the 2 and I invested in Mycelium before the WAVES news. That was merely the icing on the cake. But obviously that now would appear to be chocolate icing which was actually dog shit in disguise.

WAVES was part of Mycelium's "crowdsale" marketing from early on. Look at the archives.

Edit: namely here's an archive of the "concepts" page with WAVES' logo from April 30

3765  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: How plausible is this invention? on: June 30, 2016, 01:08:44 AM
This would be pointless. It'd increase costs for production, installation and electricity consumption. Removing ASICs from appliances once they're obsolete (consuming more electricity than the value of coins mined) would be extra cost as most home owners are no electricians. You could say that this would be done for the sake of decentralization but nobody believes in bitcoin so much to want chips that are otherwise worthless to him installed on his devices. If you want to decentralize mining just buy a dedicated miner and run it on your own, pointing your hashrate to a small pool.

For the sake of completeness, I've just got a reply from Xapo support (after 5 days).
I've seen such reports from several people. 5 days is definetely not a great response time, especially when there's money involved. I have them moved on the appropriate section of the list from the last time you suggested it.

You need to add BitPay to the list https://bitpay.com/visa/ US residents only at this time all states
Thanks of the info, will do.

My time is a bit more limited than I had expected on these days. Sorry but I won't be available for this. I guess OP is free to pick someone else for the position.

Apparently yes, but his "reformed" xerox copy appeared:

So, are you admitting ban evasion?

That's weird, it seems to be paying to websites of faucets. Perhaps an ad network or faucet service like faucetbox?
3771  Economy / Reputation / In defense of RawDog on: June 27, 2016, 10:56:26 PM
Just recently, a post RawDog made earned him a negative trust rating from HostFat, who is in default trust.

Here's why I think the feedback is unjustified:
RawDog has been creating YouTube videos for a long time, he's sometimes critical of bitcoin but just the fact that he puts time to create content on social media, getting the word out, is usefull for the community. HostFat misjudged him based on a single not so serious post he made, a post that mind you, was followed by perfectly serious and constructive discussion. In my humble opinion, if HostFat dislikes RawDog so much, he's free to leave neutral feedback stating that.

Moreover, being an idiot doesn't really mandate negative feedback (which RawDog probably isn't), the guy has been putting out videos related to bitcoin for years and he's funny too! He does more good than harm.

Free RawDog!

im looking for someone to advertise my subreddit, im looking for a long term partner to do so, i will be paying you 5$ per quality post (that generates good response, aka visits and subscribers to my subreddit)
i am targeting 18-35 year old people, the subreddit is sale related, so if you do a good job i will be hiring you for 10-50 posts per month
payment in BTC only, and i require you to make at least one post that gets a good response before i'll pay you, im not paying if your post doesn't do shit, sry
and i can only have one of you at a time or else i cant see if your post is working, so if i ask you to wait a bit before posting you know why
looking for people with good facebook, twitter, youtube, instagram and reddit profiles, any other ideas are welcome (and will be properly rewarded!)

I have been using reddit actively for more than 3 years and have several active accounts, some for marketing too. Feel free to PM me about the details if you're interested.

3774  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Proof that bitcoin was NOT affected by the Brexit. on: June 27, 2016, 08:06:50 PM
Many mainstream media channels ran articles on the notion that bitcoin is used as a safe heaven asset after UK citizens voted to leave the European Union. Yet, GBP BTC and EUR BTC saw no change. Bitcoin might be a speculative heaven asset but definitely not a safe heaven one.

What is brexti? Because i really don't have any idea for that . 😂😂
Brexit is a wordplay referring to the UK referendum where people there voted for the country to leave the european union.
3775  Economy / Exchanges / Re: List of bitcoin debit cards on: June 27, 2016, 11:03:27 AM
Seems like it's time to move Xapo to another category. Their support seems dead. I experienced it myself and there is more evidence in their thread here.
Thanks for the advice. Just did.
3776  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Perianne Boring of Chamber of Digital Commerce knows nothing about bitcoin on: June 27, 2016, 11:01:51 AM
is there any transcript of it?
the audio is really bad and and i just cannot understand most of it (i'm not from english country)
Not much point on transcribing this interview, Perianne didn't say anything valuable aside of making goofy statements like saying that ACH and SWIFT are blockchains. If you want a summary, someone on reddit summarized her goofs on the podcast.
Did she file the lawsuit yet?
Dunno, but I hope so. It'd just give Chris Derose ground to make fun of her even more.
3777  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have u ever received BTC accidently? on: June 26, 2016, 11:54:38 PM
Not accidentally but more or less randomly. IIRC Primedice ran a promotion sending out btc to frequently used bitcoin addresses back in 2013 and I was one of the lucky ones.
3778  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Proof that bitcoin was NOT affected by the Brexit. on: June 26, 2016, 11:52:10 PM
Are you surprised?
The opposite would have been the surprise, the people who have exchanged their Sterling for gold are pretty far from the average bitcoiner.
Not surprised but I felt the need to state the obvious as several people were overlooking the fact that EUR and GBP markets did not move and rushed to conclude that the brexit was of any relevance to bitcoin's price.
3779  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Proof that bitcoin was NOT affected by the Brexit. on: June 26, 2016, 11:10:44 PM
There is no proof for the claim of the media that Bitcoin was used as a safe haven asset in connection with the Brexit decision. But at the same time there is neither proof for OP's claim that Bitcoin was not used as a safe haven asset.

In both cases you can only speculate on the cause and effect relationship, because you only have correlative data. No change at GBP and EUR exchanges is no proof, because a possible safe haven function is not limited to Europe alone. After the Brexit, all major international indices suffered significant losses.

Especially you can't control for what would have happened at the same trading day without the Brexit (maybe Bitcoin valuation would have dropped substantially...) - the possible relative effect of the Brexit can't be quantified.

ya.ya.yo!
Volumes of exchanges are published, and therefore it's easy to see if and how much certain real world events affected bitcoin exchanges. EUR and GBP ones didn't seem to be affected. This is a valid indicator that the assertion labeling bitcoin as a safe heaven asset in response to the brexit is unsubstantiated to a great extent.
