It has jumped considerably in the past 2 days, I'm not sure if it will reach 350, but perhaps someone with deep pockets is waiting for the last possible moment to ensure they get the majority of the sendcoin without having to compete with anyone else.

is Maidsafe 'safe' to buy via poloniex? I am reading conflicting reports on this (though they are dated from more than 6 months ago)

thanks.

Lets say I have 3x2 TB drives and leave my computer on most of the time; would BURST be at all profitable?

It is actually not a question; as the official website and twitter reference it as being a "tribute" coin it is pretty clear that the coin is in no way associated with the actual Satoshi Nakamoto (or whomever created bitcoin)

Yeah I'm having a hard time buying that the guy who designed and supposedly owns 10% of BTC needs to come back and use a Guy Fawkes mask for a shitcoin.

This is an image posted on the NakamotoDark official twitter account:

For real.


Look at the wallet as posted on the official twitter:


"THE FIRST TRIBUTE COIN TO THE GENIUS"

I'm pretty sure that makes it clear that Nakamoto (or whoever created bitcoin) has nothing to do with this.

This isn't even bad. It's just embarrassing.

Not to mention the fact that most of the altcoin creators are just as anonymous; its easy to go posting random shit insinuating it 'might' be someone when we all know it isn't.

Agreed.

I know it can be interpreted many ways--that can sometimes be a disadvantage. Given that cannabis legalization is still in its infancy it is difficult to say how different countries would react to different names, so maybe it is something to be discussed in the future rather than now.

I'm actually more put off by the Guy Fawkes mask than the name though.

Yeah I think it would be best; consider that the Guy Fawkes mask is pretty much associated with hacking (at least in the public's eye) and ask yourself if you'd really want to download a software with that all over it?

I honestly don't think there is any need to have any reference to Guy Fawkes mask at all, especially since 'dope' is almost inevitably going to be made legal in many countries in the near future.

tbh I'm interesting in purchasing some but the D-word is a hard selling point--it really makes it sound like it is for hard drugs (depending on what area of the world you're operating from).

Again my personal opinion, but I also think the amount of anonymous/guy fawkes masks on the website makes it look a little ridiculous too (feel free to disagree).

If you're actually remembering these passwords you're plainly doing it wrong.

All your wallets should have different passwords.

I strongly suggest you look at using a service such as lastpass or some form of password store/encrypted file store that offers two factor authentication to store your passwords otherwise you're really putting yourself at risk of not only forgetting/misplacing passwords but having all your accounts at risk from a single password.

Even passwords I used to use 5-6 years ago that are not listed in any dictionary and I am 100% sure I have only ever used show up in brute force dictionaries now (7+ alphanumerical characters). Websites you don't use for a long time do get hacked.

Supposedly the "big" investors are waiting for the last minute so they can score a lot for a little.

We'll see.

strongly agree. if you have money you're itching to spend use it somewhere else, you can at least have a better chance with that.

the risk of this game is not worth it for just 30%

Here's a wild idea; if there are heavy doubters on the coin who have been commenting sporadically for the past 10 pages or so and not providing a shred of evidence or making any statement that makes sense how about we just don't reply to them.

I run a website that I use to explore some of the bizarre/interesting aspects of cryptocurrency.

Feel free to take a look: http://cryptolonography.tumblr.com/

(sorry if this is in the wrong section, I thought this was the most appropriate area to post it)

I like it. I think it is simple enough.

Its not an idea that needs a mascot or anything flashy.

a few things

-download page on official website doesnt work and has broken images
-twitter page has no logo or link to main website
-readme.txt contains no instructions beyond telling people how to sync clocks so I can't figure out how to get the wallet running; if I try and run the bat file I get an error saying I need Java despite already having it installed.

if you had gambled the same amount (in smaller divisions) on any gambling website you probably wouldn't have lost everything too.

I assume that the value of this currency will be directly tied to bandwidth that users share or use; I imagine for people who just want to download a single file they would be able to get enough free VTR from faucets and then generate the rest by being a courteous user of the network.

Users who share quality files should be awarded the highest amount.

This still needs more explanation obviously.

How is it not looking good at the moment?
People are waiting to see how this idea develops; last time I checked ideas take time.

I think the difference is people are trying to lend credibility because this one is run in a transparent way; anyway anyone who reads the last few pages will know that if you can't guarantee your deposit is sorted out less than a fraction of a second after the game starts you lose.
