You mean a "dime a dozen" alt coin that released 2 million in the first 200 blocks and over 7 million the first few days, isn't valuable?

Shocking I say!
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] WorldCoin WDC | Coin of the Future | Instant Transactions | Launched on: May 24, 2013, 06:03:24 PM
Why nearly all miners think only about himself with a timeframe of 10 seconds? Don't you see a little longer in the future? If we want this coin to grow we must act as a community, protecting the coin and helping growing it up.
Here is my personal list of things to do to support WDC and help it to not fail (it's our interest, right?):

  • Don't dump your mined coin immediately, if you're smart and believe in this coin you have to mine and don't waste WDC you generate at lower and lower prices. If we'll work well then, in months, WDC will maybe be exchanged at a much higher value. Then you can begin selling them, not all togheter.
    Think about first people who believed in bitcoin and mined more than a bitcoin a day... If they sold them immediately like you're doing now... Miner that had a believe in bitcoin now are nearly rich!
  • WDC must be used for real world transactions, if this will not be true in the near future the coin will be dead. It must have a real value. Now all people mine and sell WDC for BTC, this is what will get the price to drop. All who can help (developers!) are welcome to build smartphone apps and all kind of software that can help real world operation with this coin.
  • Set a donation to pool operator, expecially when it ha 0% fee like worldcoinpool.com (pool operators work much and have expenses.... Who likes to work for nothing???). Donating we are supporting their work
    and chances that they continue doing it is higher

Let's grow WorldCoin! Don't sell all WDC you're generating! Or if you do set a high price... Wink

This is great in theory, however Im going to have to break down the reality of what's going on and why it will continue.

~184k WDC are produced every 24 hours, a majority of which are being immediately dumped for whatever the current price is on the exchange.  Without enough investor interest to buy up those coins made each day, you will have a continuous fall in price.   As the price continues to fall, more and more miners will immediately dump rather than hold onto something losing value.

It's unfortunately a snowball effect from there, Id be very surprised if this coin survived but I do wish it luck.
49  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WorldCoin 3.5GH+/Sec!!! on: May 21, 2013, 09:34:22 PM

Difficulty retarget is every 2016 blocks.
It says difficulty retarget should happen every 8.4 hours (504 min with 4 blocks per minute) .
Wake up.

Damn i thought it should retarget quicker than that? what was ftc's original retarget? can this coin suffer the same fate as ftc with transactions taking hours to confirm or not?

which coins retarget after each block?

WDC just survived a drop from 4 gh/s to 1gh/s, difficulty dropped over that period from 11 to 6.9.

It won't suffer the same fate as FTC/CNC.

I love these guys who just repeat over and over again how Ripple is a scam, yet don't have the balls or the intellect to back up their parroting with an argument. It is my understanding there were a lot of those in the early days of Bitcoin.

It's quite simple, Ripple takes the brilliant idea of bitcoin and removes the brilliant part while calling it something new.

Instead of keeping it decentralized, to avoid one group taking control and dictating to everyone else, it centralizes the whole process for the advantage of the few(Ripple's devs and it's financial backers).   This is 100% against what Bitcoin is about, and one of the many reasons why so many dislike Ripple.

What makes it a "scam", is that it claims to want to coexist with Bitcoin while at the same time working towards replacing it.  You said it yourself in a reply earlier

Quote
I see Bitcoin as the ultimate store of value so long as the network continues to grow. In terms of global ubiquity as a payment standard, there is some serious heavy lifting needed, heavy-lifting that is in a sense already being done/has been done by Ripple devs.

You're not "replacing bitcoin", you're only replacing a large portion of what makes Bitcoin valuable(its ability to be used as a medium of exchange).  If you can't see how that IS effectively trying to replace Bitcoin then I don't know how Im going to convince you.
51  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple XRP on: May 21, 2013, 08:28:07 PM
Please people think long term when considering supporting ripple.

Do you actually care about cryto currency and the philosophy backing it?

Or do you just care about making as much money as you can regardless of what kinda world becomes of it?



Can't I care about both? I like to make money, and I like cryptocurrencies which help keep that money free (as in freedom).

Of course you can, my point is you can't if you support Ripple due to it's backward philosophy of centralization.
52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] WorldCoin WDC | Coin of the Future | Instant Transactions | Launched on: May 21, 2013, 06:37:35 PM
How long does it take for the difficulty to re-target?   The Diff has been 11.5ish since early yesterday when the network has was 3+ GH... we are now at 1.6 GH and have been for the past 12 hrs.   CNC's has yet to retarget and its hash fell off of the world over a week ago, wasn't WDC supposed to have licked that problem with short re-target times? Huh

showing diff dropped to 6.9 on coinchoose.com

So much for suffering the same fate as FTC and CNC when the miners shift away eh?   Very good sign for WDC that it didn't have to sit in limbo for weeks waiting for the difficulty to drop.

If Ripple was not a scam, their advertisements would not require self-moderated threads to save face. Pathetic.
I've had countless forum discussions with people that showed the same attitude 2-3 years ago about a different revolutionary monetary system that was "a ponzi", "a scam trying to get you to run malicious code on your GPU", "fake funny money nobody will use" and "if they give it out for free on this faucet page, it must be worthless" called Bitcoin.

Compared to other forums the trolls and scam callers are quite civil here actually, in other forums they didn't hand out money to run advertisements though... Wink

Except bitcoin had a vision, a philosophy behind it that Ripple shits on.  That's the main gripe with Ripple, not that it's another crypto, but that it's philosophically backwards.  Instead of building off what made bitcoin great(decentralized currency), it redirects us towards the establishment's(read: financial institutions) vision of the future; a centralized highly controlled tyranny.

Civil discussion is welcomed but the personal attacks and baseless accusations have to stop. The problem is that the volume of noise has become so overwhelming that it makes actual discussions impractical.


Your constant deletion of every and any post that you disagree with makes "actual discussions impractical". What a joke.

When you refuse to take criticism and delete in nearly EVERY single thread; literally no one cares about your hinted promotion of the Ripple utility. In fact, I would be surprised if you were taken seriously ever again on these forums after your recent escapades of immaturity.

You have this EXACT graphic in your other XRP post - it is now considered spamming at this point. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211068.0

From now on I will be quicker to place people on my ignore list when they make personal accusations. Starting with you.


I don't care if you ignore me, you're a scammer as far as Im concerned.  The people I want to warn about your scamcoin all will see my posts just fine.

misterbigg again with the slight hint of pro-ripple masquerade

just give it up buddy, no one wants to use Ripple
57  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: The True Explanation of Ripple for Bitcoiners on: May 21, 2013, 05:55:21 PM
what is wrong with you?  can't you get the message when your threads keep getting moved off Discussion?

like i said before:

in Bitcoin, exchanges aren't critical for the network to funcition.

whereas in Ripple, licensed trusted financial institutions, are.

You know what they call people who only make self moderated threads in the alt currency section?  Scammers.

Fitting for MrBig here, the scamcoin Ripple shill, to associate himself with that lot.
58  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoin users accepting DEBT based IOUs without realizing it! (Infographic) on: May 21, 2013, 05:31:54 PM
except that exchanges are not critical for Bitcoin to work.

whereas in Ripple, gateways aka licensed financial institutions, are.

Which is by design.

Face it, ripple is a giant scam looking to fool the crypto community into giving up what makes it a thorn in the banking community's side.

The ability to exchange finances without them taking a cut.


EDIT:  Looks like someone forgot to create a self moderated thread and can only edit his OP instead of deleting opinions he doesn't agree with.

EDIT2:  Now you've remade the thread except you remembered to allow yourself to moderate it LOL.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=212222.0

You know what they call people who can only make self moderated topics in the alt currency section?  Scammers.  Fitting for the most dangerous scamcoin out there Ripple to have a scammer shill like the OP.

Ripple is the most dangerous scamcoin out there right now for many reasons.

For one, they actually have people fooled into thinking their end game is co-existing with Bitcoin.   This couldn't be farther from the truth if you actually delve into Ripple, it's end game is to be the defacto online cryptocurrency solution.

What's even scarier about Ripple is due to it's centralized structure, it's by far the most appealing way for the banking industry to get it's beak wet in the crypto currency game and continue it's strangle hold on currency in general.  This flies in the face of one of the main philosophical points of crypto currency, shifting the balance of power away from the few and to the many.

Im hopeful more and more will come to realize how big and dangerous a scam Ripple is, but with the way they buy support by handing out gobs of free rips and the obvious PR firm backing them we may be in trouble.
