Wow  , I haven't been checking on any of my coins since maybe June and just found this out... I had coins on Mintpal but don't remember specifics, I know I had UTC and BTC on there ... was probably 0.08BTC worth of coins if I remember correctly  

I read an article several months ago that said the combined market cap for all altcoins is roughly 20% of that of bitcoin, although I think this number has gone down as altcoins have done poorly over the past several months.

Another issue with this is that altcoins are much less secure then bitcoin is, and when you add that to the fact that altcoins add nothing to the table that bitcoin does not provide you will result in all altcoins ultimately failing.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that because of the economics. If money is saved by using the waste heat then the savings will be spent on more mining.

Are there any open sig campaigns right now? I would sell my sig for 0.08-0.1 btc per month. Would post not less than 100 posts per month. Most posts are in english.

in bitcoin 9.0, 1 bitcoin = 9 bitcoin, 1 on each fork.

ohh and that was a terribly boring presentation.

It might be best to just pay and hire a developer. A lot of people are looking for developers with ideas that may not be so good, and the developer might just be wasting their time on it.

This is the best way to buy btc, period. They are super fast, well actually instant if you link a bank account. Yes, credit cards are cash advances. Just use a throw away bank account and link it to circle. Don't use that bank account for anything but circle.

Thanks for the link I'm gonna look into the Circle one because I am also in Canada and usually have problems finding a quick cheaper way to purchase my BTC Appreciate that mate Cheers

I do agree. One good thing is your BTC/$ in your Circle account is insured 100%.

Hi, this is my first message in the board so greetings everybody.

Well, I have been following the cryptocoin market for a while. I have felt the temptation to get involved quite a few times since it looks the only promising initiative to allow citizens decide their own future. By the way clarify that I am a libertarian, Austrian advocate, despite I am aware of flaws in Austrian economics which makes me a bit a Popperian more that a Hayekian. As an IT contractor I have got involved in projects for Central Banks and Statistical Offices in Europe so I known a bit how the mainstream works and what they intend.

Despite I have thought getting my hands dirty on the crypto world, my (few) approaches to it has been always disappointing. I see that main cryptocoin providers has run away of proposing any ideological battle. Nobody speaks about what ethics is (against morals), what negative liberty means, why the current scientific method (as the foundation of current monetarism) is a logical mistake, what is the difference between positive and normative economics, and what I see in the bitworld is: bits, block chains, mining and hardware. Nothing else. Dissappointing.

So, which is my conclusion of this? If you realize, most of the cryptocompanies have been created out of investors, which instead are feed by Federal Reserve, by BoJ, by ECB injections and by the full mainstream economic machinery. They are no proposing anything new but looking for an alternative way to balance their investments. And this is in my opinion a thief. They have stolen the initial Shatoshi idea, they have occupied it, emptied of any content and they look for to do more of the same carry trade business.  

I have created a discussion board (http://ponzinomics.org/) which I have maintained for 3 months and this is my first attempt trying to hit the market to propose the battle of ideas. The board sits on current mainstream economics and the "current real world", trying to enroll people from all ideologies and trying to make them understand how current system works as a whole. Obviously, as an Austrian I want to convince others why Austrian ideas are better than keynesian models based on the scientific method, but I want to hear opinion of others as well. I have not found this proposal in any place on the whole web, so if you challenge the idea, I want to create a community about it and maybe "evangelize".

That said, I want to hear your opinions about why cryptoworld is not a fake since is funded by the mainstream and does not propose any new ideas just other way to do more of the same thing.

I just Praise God, that I can "write off" my losses, in that I lost less than $50.

I cannot imagine those that lost thousands or millions, they're probably out for raging hot blood.

To them, I know not what to say.

Except that, repent and accept Jesus if you haven't, is definitely one way of facing true wickedness.

Matthew 5 is perhaps relevant here.

"If someone sues you and gets Bitcoin from you, give him your Litecoin as well."

38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Oh, I recall the steps, just not sure they'll want to replicate the full bootcamp experience, vis, wrestling with a flaky GPU for a week trying to get it hashing, camping a month in the BFL trollbox, getting minorly scammed a couple of times...
