You forgot to mention
VCASH
ZCASH isn't finished, Monero and DASH have bad limitations.
3862  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Honestly, which is better? Monero or Dash? on: September 03, 2016, 02:08:40 PM
I have a question and I wish none of you will hate me for asking this because of the history of John Connor with Monero. But I am curious and I hope I get an answer even from the developers of Monero.

Can anyone explain what vcash's chain blender is in layman's terms? How is it different from ring signatures and what are the pros and cons of this compared to ring signatures. I was looking for information about it but I could not find anything.

Oh you shouldn't mention VCASH here.
The Monero gang wants it dead as they want to kill everything else, except their broken by design manipulated shitcoin.
You could talk to John Connor directly on their Slack, he's a very friendly guy.

3864  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Attention IOTA founder spreading trojan horse on: September 03, 2016, 12:25:32 AM
which is clearly impliying that I am stupid and the joke was justified.

You are wrong.

So what else?

Look I am not a liar, I was scammed and thats it. You claimed several times that I am this guy admiral-bit.
Did you compare my posts with his posts?
Did you compare my english with his english?
Did you think about any motivations?

Let me answer that for you, sure you did! And sure you know exactly that I am not this guy and that I was scammed. It´s just an excuse for you:
1. Why you removed my posts.
2. Why you don´t stop trolling me.

Your real motives were pretty clear to anyone who saw your behavior. And your excuses weren't consistent.

Well, contact me if you decide to prove that you were scammed. For now you can provide nothing interesting to me.

Please stop trolling him now, or he's gonna fork Bitcoin

3866  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Beware of IOTA Main Developers on: September 02, 2016, 11:14:34 AM
@yumei:
One question, just to be sure that I got your point. You bought IOTA for 10 BTC or around 5,7k $ without using an escrow and now complaining about the IOTA devs because the scammer used the same profile picture and (editable) label name of a IOTA dev?

If so, didn't you get familiar with slack platform, did you? It is a very known issue that you have to check the @<username> to identify a user. Not relying on a label name. Further, a simple research would have brought you to know that the seller is a probable scammer and not the person you thought it is.

You made two mistakes:
1) Not using a escrow at all.
2) Not doing background research of the seller.

Yes, correct my fault was not to get familiar with trading on slack platform, which is in my opinion an invitation for the scammer anyway, so they should just stop it.

But the reaction from IOTA Devs and their "support" was the point I decided to make all this one publish.

Quote
1. Dev and IOTA Slack coordinator Dominik Schiener making fun of me directly after I was scammed in their Slack-channel, telling me to "contact Bitcoin Core, maybe they will fork"
Quote
2. Co-Founder and communication Manager David Sønstebø : Being rude to me and accusing me repeatedly "being stupid" from his "objective point" instead of apologizing for their behaviour.
Quote
3. Founder and Chief-Developer "Come-from-Beyond" : Finally removing all my posts, claiming there never has been a scamming and I am a liar, allegedly because I didn´t want to publish my Bitcoin-Transaction hash.

They attack me personally, instead of speaking about the scamming at all. I just lost 10 bitcoins and they begun joking and insulting me. First this joke from Dominik and this dump defending from the founder of IOTA and the communitcation Manager telling me being stupid.

..

People with high IQ tend to verbalize only the final stage assuming that the previous steps are obvious. Jokes work in a similar manner, they require a listener to construct intermediary steps in the mind, one of the steps triggers the reaction in brain. BTW, this is why quite often we see people who don't get a joke, low IQ doesn't allow to construct thoughts chain that make other people laugh..

Well I know I have to move on... but it was too personal, as I could ignore it. So I started to personal attack them.


You should take your meds and stay away from crypto, its not for you.

Did anyone tried alpha version? Can we already create websites on Safenet and visit them from browsers?

Yeah, not very convincing, yet. Very basic alpha, lame shit.
The front end file manager is a rather poor piece of software, after 10 years of development.

And I don't see that much of a market for it.
Whats so great about webpages on the blockchain, given the effort?
The average WP Joe gives a fuck where his site is hosted.

I did some nice trades, though.
3868  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How and why Steem failed ? on: August 28, 2016, 02:46:18 PM
Steem failed basically because people were not making money from the quality of their content, but from how well they were able to accrue votes to themselves. People post rubbish and get heaps of votes - that kind of system is bound to fail with time.

Please bitch, how, where and when did STEEM fail? Its running better than ever.
Its an amazing success, receiving the usual rigged crypto game treatment.
The leverage is extreme, a little bit of liquidity and demand will drive it thru the ceiling, easier than any other coin around.
3869  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How and why Steem failed ? on: August 28, 2016, 02:42:20 PM
well... the hype is gone but that doesn't mean the death of steem. wait for the price correction, next updates and other stuff.
and anyone quitting their job and going full retard on ONE coin/investment/project deserves this "torture"(watch the price falling down).

Nobody walks away from a $120 million platform, so the drama has just begun...
And Steemit has done some original things which is the whole point of Alts:

(1) Pay people to play... instead of forcing people to buy obscure, pumped tokens like AMP to play.

(2) Force everyone to hodl 1-2 years before cashing out (HodlCoin tried this, but had nothing else).

(3) Internal market + USD pegged currency on blockchain.

(4) First large scale use of hi-stake in the 100% range for Steem Power...
So users holding SP have taken a much smaller hit than the STEEM token in the last month.

(5) Maintaining a tiny liquid float of < 5% using various algos.

(6) The community is actually nice and civilized, unlike most crypto hell holes.


The only way crypto will EVER go mainstream is with user friendly ideas like these...
And the Steemit "social media" thing is just a bootstrap mechanism... maybe surprises in the pipeline.

You've just put it nicely, crypto hell hole is a nice term especially.

As a professional trader for 20 years on NYSE, etc...
I know for a FACT that they fucked up the Steemit internal market as bad as any random pinhead could (down to < $10,000 24 hour volume)...
So in spite of 2 years of working with Bitshares Dan has no clue how to develop liquidity (or it was a straight-up scam to drain rewards)...

BINGO!

Not necessarily, but instead of making a market on the internal steemit exchange and having the others follow, they missed it and are falling prey to the usual manipulators. And they are drained by arbitrage bots. Stupid.

Hahaha, no arguments, no source, no evidence, as if that ever was important here.
Just a bit of psychic common sense, better times ahead for this board, without the Monero mob, get lost sucker
3872  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Leading Dark Net Markets to Support Monero on: August 26, 2016, 11:57:44 PM
I didnt think monero had a gui wallet yet.  How will people use it on the darknet?
Its simple, they won't. Its all just smoke and mirrors. Liars are lying, you know.
The Dark Net actually gives a shit about Monero.
All that happened was somebody created an exit node for Monero on TOR, ooh, oooooh, oooooh.
The pump was a planned homerun initiated by Smooth with the dough he made with STEEM.
And it went wrong, they lost control of most of their shit now, better times for crypto ahead.

Here's a fund manager who hung himself on Steemit (fund down 50% in one month)....
But is still hopeful and has written more intelligent commentary than anything Steemit has written.

I had read that in July. I agree with him about most of that, except that in my analysis Steemit doesn't have the right structure to scale virally and to encourage those ecosystem apps.

The design of Steemit screams short-term pump and cash out.

Of course my analysis could be wrong. And I must admit I am not deep into the design specifics of the Graphene and Steem blockchain.

I'd like to reveal my design so you could understand what I mean in comparison, but I am inhibited by trying to at least get to a working mockup so I can try to raise some funds and accelerate from there.

Note I am speaking with other developers as well.

One problem though is that partnerships with unknown people are fraught with potential failure for various reasons.

This single data point does not inspire confidence that Steemit knows much more than is already evident.

May be they have smart venture capital partners...
But STEEM is going below 0.001... maybe starting to buy there is not crazy if you want to ride the Larimer train.


Agreed, but I see the level at parity with SBD, like now. We'll see whether the promise to keep the peg to the US$ holds. Larimer is hell bent to keep it there, he said. So now people may exchange their Steem for SBD, as a hedge against the falling price, which would put a lot of pressure on SBD. Then again, if some announcement was made that could make it snap up very nicely. I just bought some.

It would actually be a perfect moment in time for a nice announcement, Friday afternoon, STEEM-SBD at parity.

I see the SBD as entirely undesired in my design. And I've never thought that pegged assets could be stable or even desirable. Who wants the pegged shit, when they can trade the real thing (liquidity, frictional losses, etc).

The entire point is to build the token as a unit-of-account through a widespread unit-of-exchange in a virtual commerce market that other social networks currently can't do. You've got to actually build a content ecosystem that can drive that virtual commerce market. A marketplace (Dan's plan) is nonsense. We don't need another ebay.

What most everyone doesn't understand is that you have to tap something that people really need.

The 3 tier system is great, SBD pegged to a Dollar is the perfect token for the merchant side, as it won't float. The rest of the cake could be easily cut to be shared between marketeers and buyers.
3874  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Steem pyramid scheme revealed on: August 26, 2016, 02:26:53 PM
On the other hand, if everybody says its broken and there are threads on BCT how crooked and what a scam everything is, its usually a good time to buy some.

The whale structure is doomed and they know it...
Since various whales are running bot scams to extract as much SBD as possible like dragonslayer...
Who is finding "gems" but making twice as much as the authors he's uncovering.

Another distant possibility I can't rule out somehow is, that the Larimers are indeed geniuses, and everything is going extremely well, as planned.
The condition under which this came true would be met, if Steem was a project ordered by a social media major, with everything thats happening now just as a test run, and everything published now being viewed as demo content for making a good showcase.
If that cat would jump out of the box it would indeed make a nice leap.

Very distant. I haven't entirely ruled it out, but afaics (and the I believe the flatlining of serious weekly users is supporting this as I anticipated upthread) the design of the token can't onboard the masses nor the speculators to keep it funded while it does, so what is the attraction for the majors? They only jump on something that is growing fast and already in the millions of users, e.g. the recent flurry of videochat social apps.

The open source aspect could have lead to many different ecosystem apps built on top of the blockchain, but I think the structure of the underlying token makes this unlikely to break out of the quagmire I outlined above.

the problem is not the value of steem. the problem is how it works. you can't earn something without the "help" of the "whales". or you have to buy a lot of steel from the "whales" to be able to vote yourself.

It would be perfect for vertical markets, framed by Facebook, with a great deal of authors staffed up and a 3 tier payment system in place. Its written in React.

just wait for the FBI to announce that they cannot trace transactions from XMR dealings. then we will see some craaaaazy panic buying again

How about they just make it a felony to own Monero, or any other anon coin?
Thats what I see coming, sooner than later.
How about its just a project pushed by some three letter agency, to attract and track down people who have a business interest in anon coins?

I think it could have worked, but the power to control the evolution of the content was given to the wrong people, making unfortunate decisions, based on wrong assumptions. I think its broken already. Simple management failure.
