Considering bitshares-x is up 100%, I'd say, "not yet", at least for the delegated variety.

btw, HF didn't start off being a scam, i can assure you. there's a case to be made they didn't even end up being a scam. they were incompetent's.
I feel like too often people ignore Hanlon's razor: Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Someone clued me into Monocle and I was going to load up but when I tried to download the wallet Norton antivirus said it was infected and sent it to quarantine. I would like to buy some monocle but is there a clean wallet available? I'm not interested in "false positive" explanations. Is there a wallet that does not trip my antivirus?
If you're really that paranoid why not just run it in a VM? No stupid virus false positives in linux, and then you have it confined to virtual machine anyway.

17% discount when comparing to Amazon. Didn't know the profit margin for retail store is this high.
I think this is what would be known as a loss leader. A loss leader (also leader) is a pricing strategy where a product is sold at a price below its market cost to stimulate other sales of more profitable goods or services. With this sales promotion—marketing strategy, a "leader" is used as a related term and can mean any popular article, i.e., one sold at a normal price. quote from le wiki

someone knows why explorer doesn't work? it stopped on 08.13
No, but I think there are several others that work, including this one which I guess is (quasi-)official: https://explorer.vertcoin.org/

That's exactly why an 80% drop now for LTC means a lot more than a 70% drop in BTC back in 2012. In 2012 when activity picked up again, it was almost entirely going back to BTC. Any increase in activity now won't be going back to LTC. There is simply no reason for that to happen. There are many more and better alternatives to LTC now.
OK, I see your point. I agree there are better alternatives, but I still feel like LTC has at least one more giant pump before (if) it dies a long slow death. There is just so much money invested in scrypt asics, and most of them haven't seen the light of day, that I think it will have another boom cycle (and an accompanying boom in the number of tx/day). But who knows...

I was able to download the wallet from a link a few posts above. Connected to the network, and just got my first payment from mining! Still seems a little fishy that the coin's website isn't working. Their twitter account hasn't posted since May. But I believe they will be back soon.

I think this may be a little misleading. If you look at both coins over their entire history, you can see they have similar ups and downs in terms of number of transactions per unit time. No, I really don't see that, especially after enabling 7-day avg on the bitcoin chart. There is no comparison actually. BTC has a steady uptrend and LTC is all boom and bust with major drops offs. BTC rarely if ever drops 50+% while LTC drops 75% repeatedly, including the current drain spiral. I disagree. In its first two years of existence, bitcoin had two major boom/bust cycles. From July 2011 to January 2012, btc went from over 14k tx/day to about 4.8k (a 65% drop), and from 57k tx/day in July 2012 back down to 17k tx/day at the end of 2012 (a 70% drop). I do see that the boom bust cycles in ltc tx/day are a bit more pronounced - from 13k down to 2.5k tx/day (an 80% drop) and from 19.5k down to 4k (also about 80% drop) - but I think the amount of competition has to be taken into account as well. By the time litecoin was going into the boom bust cycles it had a lot more competition than btc at its same moment in history, so I think it makes sense that the swings would be a bit more dramatic. I guess I just don't see a major difference between a 70% drop and an 80% drop, considering the circumstances of litecoin having more alternatives for people to move to (ftc, qrk, etc.) .

What's the deal with this coin? I'm merge-mining in along with Vert, but I cant even figure out how to download the wallet. Website seems to be broken. Is this coin dead?
Dev just reappeared in #parallaxcoin a couple few weeks ago. I thought he said he was gonna fix all broken dl links. I'll bug him about it now...

Turkish hackers.....Let me check....Yep, that was the only thing this thread was missing.
Not just any Turkish hack people: RedHack is the first and only hacker group which is accused of being a terrorist organization[3] and is currently under the worlds most wanted 5 hacker groups[citation needed]. Don't really sound like the most terrible terrorists in the world though: 2005: Hacking the international system of the Istanbul Police Department Traffic Services and erasing all fines.

It never occurred to me until this whole fiasco how "forging" can also have connotations of illicit activity, and not only refer to forging steel or something (which I think is the intended meaning). If all the forgers agree on a new fiction, then it shall be a reality, or something How is it any different than "mining"? How is it illicit activity? Forging/forgery, like forging checks or other financial documents, is typically a felonious offense. Afaik there is no such illegal type connotations with mining (at least before the rise of botnets, but that is a stretch).

lol why are the hats gay? also, keep us posted on when there's a site to order on!

So, I guess this is why Monocle was a good idea, hopefully things go much smoother when vert does hardfork to change algo. This fork has been a debacle. Why oh why didn't I dump my few thousand exe at 40k satoshi on last pump?
