Paper wallet and a safe place is the cheapest option. However I'm thinking on buying a Ledger (it looks pretty small and comfortable).

there are tons of useless shitcoins out there which the dev are millionaires. this shit is no different. it's all about hypes and manipulating games.

We'll see what code and functionality we'll get. I don't want to butter up CfB but he not used to turn up with copy-paste shitcoins. Perhaps IOTA will be a failure but in that case it not going to happen because of the dev was after the quick buck.

Datacoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325735.0) and Strojcoin (+ its siblings) all tried or actively doing that, so you can try to get some more details from the devs (if they are still reachable).

And I suppose you're a professor in social sciences and also have a PhD in psychology and you made a study on children and the effect of same sex couples promiscuity on children?

Cause if not your assertion, though having a lots of conviction, is nothing but a mere opinion.

Well, we are here for telling our opinion, I guess. This is mine. Take it or leave it Smiley.

It's well known that the promiscuity of parents used to have an effect on the sexual behaviour of children. I guess that's the same in the case of same sex parents.

Nice and dandy, this is the pro-EU propaganda what coming even from the water tap. Unfortunately it's very difficult (if not impossible) to find any unbiased opinion on the diplomatic and economic impact of Brexit. Anyway as I see on my workplace (IT company with mostly mid-class english people) the majority would support the exit.
446  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Microsoft, yes the real MICROSOFT just partnered with IOTA on: March 01, 2016, 03:02:04 PM
Virtually anyone can become a Microsoft partner if they pay a small amount of money. My friend became one while unemployed so he could add it to his resume. Whenever I see this type of nonsense posted even if it's for Bitcoin, Ethereum or IOTA it just makes me laugh.

A simple MS partnership for selling, designing and deploying MS based solutions and providing services and templates on Azure are not the same stuff. Sorry to say but from your link it's clear you don't really know what you talking about.
447  Economy / Speculation / Re: At what price is bitcoin a good buy? on: March 01, 2016, 02:47:53 PM
Depending on what will happen later this year even the current price can be good. In short-medium term it all depends on what will happen around the halving. Personally I expect some big hype and prices above $800, but of course I can be wrong.

449  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coindesk propaganda - Blockchains on: March 01, 2016, 01:59:05 PM
There are many news about banks "blockchains" lately; especially on Coindesk.  

What does have Bitcoin with these blockchains? Nothing ! Then why does Coindesk make so much buzz about that?  Grin  What is the interest behind these news? There are hundreds in the last 6 months regarding to different  blockchains without ANY relation with Bitcoin.

I guess they think greater acceptance towards the blockchain technology means greater acceptance towards blockchain applications like bitcoin. ...or as many people said above they just get paid to do that Smiley.

Hard fork ? nxt dead ?

No, it isn't dead that spit is about splitting mining (main chain) from the ecosystem or ecosystems (child chain/chains) but it's more like brainstorming (proposal) about the future of NXT at this moment than anything what looks like a real plan.
451  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are you with or against "the U.K. quits the European Union" ? on: March 01, 2016, 01:01:09 PM
Well being a British citizen myself I am against the this, that UK might quit the European Union, why? Well Britain has long established itself as a backbone of the economy of many of its neighbor countries ie importing and exporting trades go back hundreds of years.

If you guys think this over earlier (like 1803 or 1939) a lot of lives could have been saved Wink.

But there might be a correlation between mental disorders and religious beliefs, would be interesting to look at.

Actually most religious people are quite well-balanced and used to endure hardships better than non-religious people. Religion is a part of spirituality, and spirituality is a sense of connection to something greater being and it also a sense of belonging to a community and being accepted until playing according to the rules. This gives a solid ever present background for most religious people.
Of course in the case of some of the mentally ill people religious beliefs can contribute to the formation of a real monster. However you can find a lot of atheists between the worst mass murderers and ideologists of later atrocities, so probably any ideology can have the same effect on certain kind of people.

I voted for "the more you work the more you get" option, but I was wrong. Working not necessary means production or services for others benefit. Unfortunately positive contributions are not easy to measure. An artist can have more positive effect on people in two minutes than an accountant in 8 hours, however in most cases the accountant makes the more important work.

And who are you to decide what confuses them or not? What is in the "it gonna confuse kids" column and what is in the "it's ok for my kids" column?
Kids must be taught how things are. From an objective perspective.
An objective perspective would be to explain them what sex is and that it can be between two persons of the same sex though it's a minority compared to two persons of different sex.

Two fathers or a father and another bloke who behaving as "mom" (or the same thing with lesbians) can be as confusing for a kid as a topless bar for a baby Smiley. Also in most cases the promiscuity of same sex couples used to be a lot higher than in most of the cases of hetero couples.
455  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Islamic extremist beheads 4-year old child in Moscow on: March 01, 2016, 12:01:01 PM
The haters don't need a reason to hate,The mental disorders can lead to any extreme situations but i dont see how Islam is encouraging it or why to throw shit on it when more than one billion people dont do anything like that.

Most likely because of IS and islamist terrorist used to do things like that. To be honest in the case of muslims the "haters" have many valid reasons, but in my opinion this case is different.
456  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Islamic extremist beheads 4-year old child in Moscow on: March 01, 2016, 11:43:06 AM
Especially dreadful as she was a nanny to that little girl in the last three years. However in my opinion the islamic extremist thread is only secondary or even some assumed behaviour. I think this is primarily a mental heath problem instead of religious fundamentalism. According to what I've read she was high on something and was talking a lot of incoherent crap.
457  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: MicroCash. Now in Alpha 2 release. on: March 01, 2016, 11:33:57 AM
Whether or not anything is a scam seems highly changeable from a bitcointalk perspective. Most people are indifferent as long as they've made their 25c or whatever but the shit hits the fan when they lose money or face.

SolidCoin had it's ups and downs, as did MCXNow. As is the case whenever there is a central body making decisions some of those decisions may be unpopular and it's far too easy to sit on yr keyboard and channel psychopathic rage demons when you've lost $$$, generally feel butt-hurt or misunderstood.

There is centralisation of some sort in practically every single thing you ever do, BTC's fabled consensus shows the impossibility of change when a major party won't play ball. It will be interesting the outcome should the largest miningpools form some sort of decision making body.

In an ideal world RealSolid will have learnt from previous "mistakes" Wink The truth will be in the pudding of future work.

There will be no mining, the final code will be open source.
This thread is really only here to spread the word, for any questions just ask on the forum.
https://forums.microcash.org/

You are right, as long as people can make some profit they will happy even with a scam. Anyway this isn't an ideal world and RealSolid gained a pretty dubious reputation here, so I doubt that he turned to a saint. Looks more like an attempt to catch up with the latest developments in crypto.
458  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Microsoft, yes the real MICROSOFT just partnered with IOTA on: March 01, 2016, 11:07:33 AM
Certainly good news. It's a nice development and test platform, but I'm not sure about its significance in this early stage.

Thanks for this article, it's really interesting. Reassuring to see not we humans are the only gamblers. However personally I've never heard about pigeons gathering huge gambling debts. Perhaps they would if they could tho' Smiley.

She might be crazy. The authorities are ordered her psychiatric tests as she was talking a lot of rubbish. Anyway, hopefully she will be locked up for a long long time either in a prison or a nuthouse.
