Alex or Max,

Put the IRC in the OP.

Doing it now.

Thanks. I forgot to say please.

Alex,

Can you also let us know when we can have another planned IRC chat? It would be great if it was planned so more people can have time to join.

do you think altcoins can be traded with fiat without need to be traded with bitcoin ?
and also altcoins for goods ?

anyway corruption is because of the people who work for the Bank, not the Bank

I don't want to get into a big discussion here but of course alt-coins can eventually be traded with fiat and they already can be traded for goods, although not much. Bitcoin purists will have you believe that BTC has some kind of strangle hold on crypto mass adoption when that's not even close to the reality of the situation. Bitcoin is starting to penetrate the masses, but we haven't even scratched the surface and that means there is plenty of space and time for alt-coins to make a mark. It's very naive to think otherwise. You only have to look at history of the infancy stages of other high growth, disruptive technologies. The first to the market is rarely the industry leader as the technology matures. I'll give you one more chance to respond and then we should end the conversation. I don't want to derail the thread.

Not to mention cutting out corrupt middlemen like banks, while effectively lowering transaction costs.

cryptocurrency is also not the solution. and all coins are still too centralized. maybe bitcoin in many years...

Only because there aren't enough users yet. Global usage will make PoS coins more decentralized. According to some theories, bitcoin is probably going to get more centralized as it matures.

Bitcoin seems too slow and focused(for now) on being a global digital currency to meet this underlying needs.

I just said the same thing in irc not an hour ago.
Pesa has a good chance of being bit coins golden child if you can tap emerging markets where Pesa is already a recognized name/brand.

EXACTLY for example People in Kenya(mostly women) form social lending groups called Chamas that lend each other Pesa(Money) in a merry go round format without interest.

M-Pesa which is a centralized digital currency pegged on the Kenya shilling is the usual medium of exchange.

These Chamas already contribute billions of dollars every year to the Kenyan economy. However there are still problems as Chamas rely on trust within amongst the members and M-Pesa itself is not anonymous.

So I believe a fully implemented Pesa improves on M-Pesa on a global scale.

I like this whive cat. Cool

the coin will need some extraordinary features to rise...
and the competition is great, some coins promise and some deliver nice features

Not sure if you were in the IRC the other day, but the intended features are nice. Most coins haven't really delivered much on the promises yet.

we need a JakeSend

Actually, I don't think I'm the biggest holder. I'm just willing to donate the most because at one point I thought we were in dire straits. Embarrassed

I'm still donating. I just need to clear up a view withdrawal issues from Bittrex and I will make my donations. Probably some time today I will make my next donation of 300k to the Pesa development team.

Hey Guys,

It was great chatting with Pesa Advocates last week

, I will share a concept proposal with flunkie on the following by end week.

PesaCash: Pesa as the Worlds fast default crypto currency compatible with Mobile Network Operator standards.
PesaSMS: Sending Pesa over an SMS gateway using GSM Mobile Numbers as Aliases.
PesaMarket: Market for Digital Goods(think itunes over SMS) this is already a billion dollar industry in Asia/Africa.
PesaFaucet: JakeThePanda seriously needs a faucet Grin

PesaWallet: Pesa Wallet on Android/S40/ translated to at least Swahili, Arabic, French.

The idea is to get PesaDev to review some of these ideas and see if they can be layered on top of his upcoming Smart Contract and Enigma platforms.

Also I am a newbie in Crypto but I have to ask is it possible to reduce the Pesa Blocktime to between 30-40Secs Huh

Lastly I really like ShadowCoin we should benchmark Pesa on Shadow's Quality and I think DarkCoin's market cap will be in sight in a few months. Cool

My 2 Pesas

Thanks Whive. I would gladly set up a faucet if somebody can guide me.

Are you on the right fork?
Tried the repair wallet command?

Yes, now 16478 blocks. My wallet show 297 confirms, bittrex 0/6.

You seem to be on the right chain. I PMd Richie at Bittrex to have check to make sure they are on the correct chain.

The network looks stable. Woot!

Fork at block 15070? I tried redownloading blockchain few times and every time I end with blockchain different than at https://chainz.cryptoid.info/pes/

Someone should change link to block explorer on first page of that thread.

Same here. I'm on block

For anyone that missed it, we had a very informative Q&A with Alex of the Pesa team.

Come chat with us in the new PESA IRC on free node. #pesacrypto

See you there!

Nothing's going to happen unless dev brings something valuable.

Yes, that is correct. He just wants the community to join together. A coin needs a strong community. Stop being a party pooper. Tongue

Ariana Grande is singing in Rockefeller Plaza on the Today Show this morning. There are so many little 10 year old girls running around I can't get into my office building.

If you can't beat them join them. Roll Eyes

I'm looking out the window now. They look like a bunch of little ants running around and cheering. They are really loud. Cheesy

tokenmixer v2 coming out on the 1st. stay tuned.

Great news and it is so close to it's release.

This feature will for sure change this coin to a better.

Thanks!

Also forgot to remind you that I will have it be integrated with the wallet.

I'm not sure what you mean. The mixer is a website? Why would we expect that it wouldn't be integrated in the wallet?
