I dont know if you know this or not, but Ive owned computer repair shops for 20 years in Vegas. I was so shitty with people , that after a few years, I just went in the back and fixed computers, because I just wasnt good with people, and frankly didnt want to deal with them, and had my employees talk to them, and I would just fix computers all day because thats what I truly enjoy. Today im legendary in Vegas for my computer skills, and highest rated by a landslide. Today Im better with people, but the decision to move away from them and work in the background, probably saved my business. I had no filter, and said things I shouldnt have .Catch my drift?

You and I BOTH know you are going to tweak the piss out of this coin, even after the merge. So knowing that, consider having me propose changes to the thread. Ill be the punching bag, free of charge. You do what you do best.

Vegas

Many people got into crypto because they wanted get get far away from those few people that made decisions with their money, without consulting them (government). In business, ive never been too proud to listen to employees when they have an idea. It doesnt make me less, in fact it makes me more of a man when I can take someone elses idea and try it. I promise you, if you dont change the way you operate, youll get the same results. Im AM trying to help you, and make this thread a calmer place, thats it , man. I wont harp on you to change. Your choice.

Another idea: email your idea to ME, and I will present it on the thread and take shit. I wont , because I am good with people. I will do this for you and the community, no charge.

Vegas

I really want to give you the credit for my gains, HOWEVER, there are 1000's of investors across the coins, and EVERYONE has had different results. So if it was simply the coin, then EVERYONE would make money. The gains were because of the choices *I* made of when to enter and when to exit. I made good money on MMXIV, many others have lost money. Teeth (nothing so far), vary (nothing , so far), Gorilla bucks Ive made a gain, BUT that may all change real fast with the changes. Im not being difficult, but my gains were because of my choices, AND MMXIV was easy to gain because it was untouched and unchanged for months, I CAN gain with that. Had you changed MMXIV every few weeks, Im quite sure it would have been a loss, I cant navigate blindly. I think MMXIV was a perfect model, because it was easy to understand for everyone, simple and went untouched. Perfect.

Vegas

PLEASE: Try my idea as a beta for 1 month: Your not commited to buy

"When YOU have an idea, present it on the forum, tell people, your not sure if it can even work". Get feedback, get the consensus, if you think it can work, try it. If it doesnt work, go back to step one". Im on your side man, Im trying to calm things down here, and make things run smoother.

ANYONE READING THIS PLEASE VOICE YOUR OPINION ON MY IDEA GOOD OR BAD.

Vegas

ahhh you so fucking hard headed. Its a shithole , because YOU pissed everyone off, because you made decisions without consulting them, and Im trying to be kind and make you see what happend. Keep doing the same thing, and get the same results. Why dont you TRY what I suggested and discuss your ideas in the forum BEFORE changes, because the way your doing things now is not working. PROVE ME WRONG! This forum can be a calm, enjoyable place, but everyone is trying to tell you something. Please listen.

Vegas

I know , there is no easy answer. What about throwing out ideas on the forum, and discussing it, and then when a decision is about to be made, post specs BEFORE the fork? IF you feel it needs tweaking (always the case, and I agree), then post on forum and get feedback first for about a month?

Vegas

@Spots  First thank you for not deleting posts. Everyone needs to be heard good or bad. My last post was in frustration and anger. Ive calmed down and its time to be constructive. My thoughts. Ill be much kinder, as I ranted and thats done. Time to get constructive.

Ive been as kind as I can to write the following paragraph. I hope you read it without feeling "beat up". That is NOT my intent, I think in the last few days , youve taken enought. The goal of the following is to help everyone make a better coin, and a better Spots. People are angry and frustrated because they lay out a financial plan based on what they know about your coin, and then within a couple of weeks EVERYTHING changes. As a businessman yourself you know how important it is to know everything about a business choice, before you make a decision. From what I know about you, your the type that would read every word in a contract multiple times over, and ask loads of questions before signing because as a wise businessman, you want to know what your getting into. Now imagine you take your time, and read the contract and understand everything, then  3 weeks later without your consent/permission  or input, the contract DRASTICALLY changes!!! You get to know SOME of the new contract , and that "SOME" is general, sketchy and open for interpretation. This is what your doing to your investors. They are making decisions based on what you tell them, and then a few weeks later you change it, then a few weeks later you change it. Then your not very clear on the changes. VERY frustrating. I dont even know what the hell to do myself now, because I dont have enough information to make a decision, and even if I did, it will get changed again in a few weeks. As a skilled businessman, I welcome change , but this is too much.

Suggestions: (kind as I can):

1. Get a vote from your investors, that vote sticks. One of the votes should be "leave as is". Give atleast 5 options. Add option you may not like. This protects YOU because when all is said and done, you can say "this was voted on, and is NOT my decision".
2. STOP with the secrecy, I know you think it somehow keeps your coins from being manipulated, but even if I knew the specs of the upcoming changes, how the hell can I manipulate the coin? It makes your investors more comfortable knowing whats coming up, so they can make decisions.
3. You dont do well with criticism , and I dont either. The above suggestions will lower your stress. There is no question, you are one of the most skilled devs out there, and you can be a more skilled and respected dev, by tuning in to your people more. Your just making decisions about whats best for your investors without consulting them.

When I "work on me" , I always work on an area I am not good with. Youve got the software dev down 10/10. However, I will ask that you examine your skills when it comes to people. I you feel like it could use work, read #1 and #2.

I respect you, but I think you need to work more transparent with your investors.Like me, your very honest, and trustworthy, and in YOUR mind your doing the right thing, thats what most people DONT understand about you. But allow the people that keep you in a job to make the decisions. EVEN BETTER IDEA: Post on this thread: Hey guys, Im thinking of _____________________, and get the peoples input BEFORE changes!.Ahh, that sounds good!! I know you think that its not important for people to "like" you, but when the day comes that they like you AND respect you, your world will become a MUCH happier place, as those people will support you.If you just cant get the people thing right, hire someone very skilled, with money and people to help with the thread and decisions... umm... ME!!! LOL! I am VERY much like you, however, Ive gone through major changes, when it comes to people. I can be kind, and tuned in to people and their feelings, when the moment arises , I can also be very strong and powerful when the need arrises. Having the ability to switch and do both as needed, has taken half my life to learn. But its sooooo worth it.


Vegas

I want to point out, I have not read 1 post thats in favor of all of this. People LOVE wallet updates. The reason they do is because something innovative and new has usually been added. I also want to mention, when you do a coin swap , youll end up with a angry crowd that missed the swap. Now you want to do 4 coin swaps at the SAME TIME!?!? This should be good.

Vegas

Spots , I think your in the right direction by simplifying things. I think there should be at most 2 coins. 1 common coin (combine from teeth,vary,mmxiv), and 1 elite coin (gorilla bucks). To me all this swapping and forks and changes, I dont really see how its progress. We went from Balls and 10k with loads of forks, then that was merged into teeth, with more forks for who knows why, and now teeth merged into bucks with more forks, but where is the progress? How are we any better. Gorilla bucks was a big jump because it was rare and unique, and now its going to be poisoned with failed coins. I dont get it.

Vegas

My only concern in it says "out of sync". I just tried to send 5000 coins to c-cex, but if the chain isnt moving they wont confirm.

Vegas

Thanks for new wallet, I want to post it on my site along with the changelog. Do you have a changelog, or was it just general fixes?

Vegas

There will always be a constant supply of bucks at https://gorilla.exchange/market?pair=BUCKS/BTC if anyone is looking to buy with BTC. I just posted 37 bucks, the rest are frozen in stake, and I will post them as they are released.

Vegas

Im stuck on block 16825 and have tried everything including resycing. I have latest wallet 2.0.2.0.

Vegas

...and in spots own words "Nope. After this merge, 99% of my time will be focused on things other than the coin itself."

"nuff said

Vegas

Well..right now , this moment, I have made profit on Gorilla bucks, so I wont ask for a refund, Ill sell them off for a profit. Maybe Ill keep the rest like MMXIV and Teeth and Vary and combine those for Bucks. It just sucks, FINALLY there WAS a rare and unique coin, and then it gets mixed with the other coins that are doing well. Not a good recipe. Ok.. how do I get bucks out of stake? I know its been talked about, but Ive never needed it.

Vegas

The ONLY reason I bought GorillaBucks originally , is because it was unique, rare, untouched, hard to get. Now ANYONE can get it, and its mixed with the other coins that are not doing as well. In my mind, the whole point of getting gorillabucks was to escape the horrible inflation of the other coins like MMXIV, and now it will be mixed with it. The money supply on Gorilla bucks was super low, thus keeping the price high, and now there will be MUCH more , and EVERYONE will have it, whether they like it or not. It will be so common, it will become worthless. Can ANY coin remain unique and rare? Time to rethink things. So now someone that had a shitload of worthless mmxiv will have more of the "rare" gorillabucks than I had , and I was a top holder of the original gorillabucks that I paid a lot for I put trust in gorillabucks because it was seperate, and only a few people had it so it was near impossible to dump. So now Gorillabucks coin, gets mixed with holders that dump at any price, same shit I was trying to escape when I bought gorilla bucks. I think Im out of everything, nothing is sacred. Buck Fucks.

Spots, I think its a big mistake to mix all these coins, and destroy the one sacred coin. Why not create another coin, that is NOT gorilla bucks and combine all the rest of the coins with THAT and keep gorilla bucks rare and unique and sacred?

Vegas

Ill work on this. My execoin is fully synced. Check back tomorrow June 13th,2015

When ROS gets rockin, theres no stoppin'!

Ok done its on my site : www.BITCOINLASVEGAS.net/files/Fastcoin-blockchain-June-11th-2015.zip
