EDIT:
Why are you asking for 10 btc ? I think it would be better report that "bug" to bitcoin core devs and after maybe someone will send you a donation.
Why not? Some people like to get paid for finding exploits. If it's a major flaw, then he deserves more than 10BTC. |

any news about launch?
Nope, they keep pretending its a real coin that's been launched already. Do you just make the rounds once a week to post something stupid and unproductive? |

I was drawn to Nxt because of it's ambitious development road map (nxttechnologytree.com). Another reason I invested was because of the founder BCNext. He released the coin for 21BTC, which was just a symbolic # for him. He was not about profit and thus his plans for distribution were limited. People often criticize Nxt because of limited distribution, but to me this was one of the only "fair" distributions in crypto. Nxt didn't have hundreds of BTC raised for marketing and development. So it's growth was completely natural, much like BTC.

Really? Damn, Poloniex should be aware of the hacker's addresses from bter. If they knowingly allowed the hacker to "cash out" - it's clearly a crime...
A few people did reach out to Poloniex, but I think it was too late. |

Bitpay has been around since 2011. Valve are big enough to create their own bitpay in house if they wanted to. Basically, they are followers not the leaders they used to be in tech .... is what it comes down to. I agree Valve will 'accept' bitcoin soon, because it is safe, microsoft, dell, etc, etc but I highly doubt they'll be doing anything innovative with it inside their games, in-game currencies, user-wallets, etc ... probably just dump it back on the xchanges for the commie fiat.
I agree, but Bitpay didn't have the infrastructure/reputation they do now. Valve will implement BTC, it's only a matter of time, maybe when they release Half-Life 3  |

Because until recently, there wasn't much in the way of payment processing on that kind of scale. Bitpay can handle now. Expect to see Valve accepting BTC soon. |

Cross post: N.B. The sell off today was the BTER hacker selling 3million of the stolen 8million NXT, timed to inflict maximum damage it seems. But we're still here. Again.  I thought his address was blacklisted? He sold on Poloniex. |

I haven't seen any member here receives physical bitcoin from Coinographic. It is alarming that the shipping due date is fast approaching and there is no words or reply from Coinographic on the pre-order coins. I was preparing to order the silver physical bitcoin from them but now I am backing out concern that they may be facing some kinds o ffinancial or cash flow trouble.
Yep, I'm in the same boat, I'd like to order the 5BTC gold coin, but haven't heard any response from Coinographic, and I'm not going to make too much effort to part with my BTC. |

Thanks buddy edit: Wow, this could be big for BTC. |

such silliness. people saying that ethereum has achieved nothing?
they are building an ecosystem that is very much there in the public space to be seen by anyone who looks.
i think tilecoin is a fine project but it is like comparing something very small to something much, much larger in concept & ambition. your decision to use foul language further sabotages whatever point you are trying to make.
yes. Ethereum is a great Project. but right now you can register your IoT device to Tilecoin network now. your device will sell the data and earn money for you and it's based on bitcoin blockchain. So reveal the PM that CFB sent you already! |
|
|
|
That obvious? Do you think?
Let's ask BTCspace |
|
|
|
Can I have the same PM please?
You should ask that guy, I had only one PM and he owns it now. Lol,really? I'll give you a hint, Jinn. |
|
|
|
For IoT features..we now have 2 Projects: Tilepay and ethereum.
so it's （Tilepay+ Bitcoin Blockchain） Vs （IBM+ ethereum Blockchain)
There are even more projects, but they don't market themselves yet. Such as JinnLabs.  |

Sorry for bringing Monero to the table, but that shows the floor with Bitcoin also. The (probably no more than a few dozen) true enthusiasts keep the market cap at a few million, while the technology gets developed.
You just described every single Altcoin. The difference is that everyone holds Alts to eventually sell for BTC, and everyone holds BTC to eventually sell for Fiat. Not everyone Yes, I'm speaking of traders only, not those who are actually interested in the tech, which is about 5% of crypto population. |

Has EGOLD any 'business' plans? Because I wonder why people buy mscoins that don't really have a purpose but a fancy name.  When CoinShuffling is released EGOLD could be used for mixing: Buy EGOLD with NXT -> Mix -> Sell EGOLD for NXT. Didn't think of that. That would be indeed interesting. Of course, if they allow shuffling with NXT itself, then the intermediate step won't be needed. Which would save on having to waste NXT by paying the spread on both transfers. Nxt won't be shuffled directly because it's potential affect on TF. |

Note that altcoins are created not because they can be better than bitcoin (which in some cases may be true), but because their creators think: "Why should I buy an existing coin, and see its early adopters become filthy rich at my expense, when I can create my own altcoin, and become filthy rich at other people's expense?"
BCnext launched Nxt for exactly 21 BTC, it was by design as the number 21 was symbolic to him, once he hit that mark he closed investment and launched. BTC was valued at about the same amount as now when he closed funding. So your point is not true. Not everyone is purely money motivated. The people that called his distribution a scam were day traders who were angry they didn't participate during the two months the IPO was open. Of course, Nxt isn't really an alt coin in the true sense of the form, because it's not a clone of anything. I accept that there may be exceptions. I believe my analysis above applies to most of what people call "pump-and-dump" or "junk" cryptocoins. (I called them "altcoins" out of laziness, it is easier to type.) Most people here think that anything other than BTC is a pump and dump junk coin. |
