Ok here's $10 to Zoe.  So what are we supposed to do to prevent martyrs like BurtW, Charlie Shrem, and Ross Ulbricht?

Wanted to share this here.  Feedback/discussion here or on the comments is welcome and encouraged.

Saw this article a couple times in different locations -- same show different venue.

It would be great if 21 supported PICISI, write that story.



Since you wrote this here, I'm going to remove the link on my article page itself.  I don't agree with the PICISI concept at all:  a bunch of cryptocurrencies that can pay to promote themselves while others utilize your site to crowdfund their ideas (which are probably less than stellar, or slathered in fraudulence. The best ideas would want to to go for the most liquidity, seeking the highest opportunity of success ... ponder on that one.) for a slew of different alts. 

As it stands I don't use any crowdfunding platforms - because I feel like the best ideas can be bootstrapped and/or find proper private investment capital.  Your idea, while nobile, will not garner support because the cryptocurrency community by in large has been BURNED by alt-coins.  Furthermore, there is barely any liquidity in BTC, most holders of BTC choose to hold onto it as a speculative investment and would rather give away fiat to invest in ideas.  Have you not seen coinmarketcap.com?  The liquidity in all the other coins combined is a drop compared to BTC so offering a multi-coin crowdfunding site seems 'awesome' to an uninformed young entrepreneur, but reality will set in real quick when the site is live for 7 months and there's 10Million + in funding requests with less than $200 in actual funds 'pledged' to campaigns.   Your idea has no ground imho.

If you don't believe me, try this experiment:  Go to Alexa.com:   Check the website rankings and estimated traffic for the following sites/projects:

Bitcoinstarter.com
swarm.fund
vinumeris.com
cryptostocks.com

Those are your direct competitors and who you would 'need' to outshine in order to seem more attractive. (so that others choose to use your site to pledge funds to awesome ideas)  Keep in mind that that's a wishy washy statistic because it doesn't actually measure potential participants nor potential funds pledged within the platforms, (I don't know maybe that is a potential competitive advantage = full disclosure of all funds invested and where) 

NOW, compare those findings to indiegogo.com and also to kickstarter.com.  Those are your indirect competitors and who you actually need to acquisition customers from in order to flourish.  I'm presuming the underlying goal is to be in the captains seat earning 2% right?  Well, you'll need to take some of their traction in order to make a reasonable return with that percentage.  Also, 3 articles, paid for, to promote your idea, which has no actual working prototype website, nor competitive advantage over existing competition, will. get. you. nowhere.

interesting feedback from person on reddit when I shared this script (I wrote an article on my own site to archive this script and talk about it and share it with others who aren't on here)  and it goes like:

Quote
There's a problem with either the script or the blockchain.info api where the number of tx field doesn't match the actual number of tx sent.
In other words,
Code:
assert( len(addrdata['txs']) < addrdata['n_tx'] )
fails.


The script only works for keys with up to 50 tx. If your key got more than 50 tx you have to add some lines (add loop and use optional API-parameters limit and offset to parse through all transactions [50+]).

yes but i writed this in the first post (see above comment), so its only for max 50 tx. when it s more you must adapt the script because it takes the information from blockchain.info and example its more 50 tx, but only loading 50 tx data from bc.info API, then it parses outside range of loaded data. this is the error. i hope you understand. when you need adaption of script write me. i am happy to help you anytime.
thank you.
  Yea I'd like to see the for loop if possible to choose trx size

427  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: X6500 Custom FPGA Miner on: March 09, 2015, 12:36:14 PM
I remember a guy who was trying to do scrypt ascics using fpgas back in 2013 - didn't work out.  Remember looking into it extensively and found out that they should expect @ best like 150 KH if tweaking out those FPGAs which is why it was never implemented for scrypt - you could easily get 4x the hashes with a properly tuned gpu.
428  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Check if your BTC-key is vulnerable on: March 08, 2015, 09:32:27 PM
ok
i give up
I downloaded the python and ran the script
it shows the data about my transactions ...
and show "compare" (ln 51)
and stops ...

Same, is the idea that its good to go and compare would ONLY show vulnerabilities (reused keys to sign messages)

edit: okay yes, looking more closely at the code a 2nd time:

Code:
print "In Input NR: " + str(xi) + "[global increment] " + str(inputs[xi])
print('\a')
                        print "Resued R-Value: "

Should output like: 

In Input NR: 4
Reused R-Value:  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


if you have a problem that is

2.65%

Seeing these here makes me think that there's quite a number of folks throttling hardware or keeping it at bay for diff drops.  I've also seen some setups on rental sites like betarigs but not too many.

I want to put that funny wolf of wall street gif in but don't know how to do it.




Click Quote on mine...insert your Gif instead...problem solved.

edit: and mine...I'd probably do something smart like pay something down, you know, make my money work for me this go round rather than reinvesting.  I feel like its going to be longer cycles of stability upwards and downwards
431  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are some ways you can think bitcoin won't succeed? on: March 08, 2015, 08:34:45 PM
Wont be adopted by banks anytime soon  Smiley

Probably won't have merchants looking at is as a store of value.  This can perhaps be okay - IF verticals can be established and a closed loop economy exists.  Ie: merchants pay their vendors pay their suppliers pay their employees use services and in turn these different verticals feel confident in holding onto the BTC as opposed to simply cashing it back into fiat.  However you can't demand that of a businessowner - (s)he needs the money/rates to be locked in! - thats possible when you're discussing home currency together across the verticals, but not necessarily so when they refuse to take BTC.  If employees demand it though, remember that drives them to also hold onto some as well.

433  Economy / Economics / Re: pump and dump on: March 06, 2015, 11:35:34 PM
It would still be considered extremely high-risk and few people that rich trust Bitcoin enough to play around with $10 million. I don't know, maybe there are...


I don't know of any billionaires like that who would be so loose with 10M on a risky investment - land, sure, gambling....maybe??? perhaps a saudi prince - i think they probably dollar cost average it slowly to blend in with the rest of us, just my guesswork with no real science behind it.

For what its worth I'm trying to spread bitcoin awareness and adoption.  I run honeybadgerofmoney.com and do sell wares which help bitcoin evangelists to a point.  The underlying question is how much longer till we have the (ethereum-like) dream of easy diy decentralized contracts utilizing sidechains and what can us casual folks do to assist in the development of these softwares and digital infrastructures that require bitcoin.  I know that Gmaxwell and others raised capital for the technology but forgot its name as I write this.
