Indeed, i particularly liked the paper wallet design. |

I myself was a darkcoin fanatic. I deeply despised altcoins that were threatening to darkcoin. I know, that many current fanboys for other coins, feel threatened by monero., as I did. That's probably why they messaged BCX about monero. However, I am not like them, I still keep up darkcoin and still hold a very sizable amount, I've also looked into every other altcoin proposing anonymity. I truthfully, have to say, that out of all the anon coins out there, Monero beats them all, in design, features, and development team.
Monero is just hype. It's not going anywhere without the right people from here, which are not on board. You really think so? i participated in the GUI contest and reviewed code of the competing flavors. i didn't see one i'd put my hat on as the defacto reference client, but i saw alot of promise from each camp. Of the altcoins floating around at the moment, i'd put the most stock in Monero. then again, Mastercoin, NXT, Ethereum and others showed promise, before dissapearing completely. |

Crypto Avenue has no volume for a simple reason. I won't out baritus here as i have come to think of him as a friend more than a foe, but CryptoAvenue is slow and looks like shit. There are things wrong under the hood that i have noticed in my brief visits, but i won't be disclosing that here.

i have no need or interest in any anonymous coin so the reason Monero was made is lost on me entirely.
so take that away then what am i left with ?
...
I don't think so called anonymous coins have any usefulness at all !
First, Monero isn't anonymous. It does provide some privacy enhancements which are necessary for certain real world applications. I respect that you have no need for these privacy features. However consider this: Multinational corporation with offices in 100+ countries that earns money in some and loses in others. The new locations are funded by the successful ones overseas. There are a few thousand of these corporations globally. They all have the challenge of international settlement and would deeply benefit from a crypto currency that would allow them to do this. They won't use Bitcoin because it hasn't the privacy they need innately. They could get the privacy they need with Bitcoin, but doing that requires a level of expertise and care that makes it prohibitive for them to delegate to low level functionaries around the world. Why do they need privacy? Because they are competitive enterprises. Bitcoin public block chain is easily inspected and easily deconstructed. The MNC's competition can see what direction they are going and that provides an advantage to the competitor of those that would use Bitcoin for this purpose. CryptoNote provides this privacy innately. Consider the users of CryptoNote's first implementation. These weren't dark net illicit scoundrels, they were business people. The MNC is the sweet spot for crypto currency. There is 1000x more money in use there than the illicit trade, it moves faster, and it is what the world today is built upon. There may never be a purely anonymous coin, or at least not more anonymous than PMs already are. Were one created it might provoke overwhelming response from TPTB. Some suggest MNCs are the devil, but when you have people in different countries working toward common goals, those nations have good reasons not to fight. So maybe you don't care, but maybe you live in a country that might be in a war but isn't because of this sort of trade. Wars suck, less of these, please.

Whoop-de-doo. Opensource ATM, chamber of commerce membership, ugly moustache/hairlip, lousy star-wars rap videos, who cares. FRK is penny ante nerd shit. If you don't like it, don't invest. Its not like there's not 1000+ other coins to choose from. Personally I hate Frankos (the name alone is pure dork-ego, and Aidens are even egocentric) but why complain about them? Chris is an good guy and at a minimum he's staying involved with his lame ideas, and at least spending his own $ (read: BTC he suckered other people in to spending on his namesake) to bring "innovation" to his projects, right? Bitching because he's ugly is pretty pointless--would you rather he looked like one of the non-nerd fill-in fairies from "The Big Bang Theory?"
so many kind words <3 You know I hate only because I care  Dongba! wtf is a dongba? Keep up here r3wtz0r; he's this guy, who pwns people on the interwebs. Especially nerds who like to hear their own name spoken endlessly. Mr. Franko understands.  |

Bitcoin..
The coin it was based on "Bit Gold" had it's white paper post dated to make it appear it came out after Bitcoin but it didn't.
Bitcoin was mostly likely an alt of.. Bit Gold, Wei Dai’s b-money, hashcash and other concepts..
making Bitcoin the First Altcoin ?
Got proof to back up this assertion? |

Not LTC, Tenebrix was the first scrypt coin, but had bad distribution and died soon.
As far as I know Namecoin was the first of all, then Ixcoin. Timekoin (with other codebase) also is pretty old.
yeah, Timekoin was php and required a server. |

NameCoin was launched in April 2011. It was before LTC and IIRC it was the first altcoin.
geistgeld or tenebrix were prior to ltc not sure about namecoin. sunnyking had a list up on github ages ago. don't know if it still exists or not. |

This is like watching a baby deer take its first steps out into the wilderness and slowly watching it piece together an understanding of the evils that surrounds it. We are entering the new Age of Enlightenment Not really. The enlightened ones will always be a select few, and deep down we know what happened but it would be useless to relay it to a "normal" human being. |

I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say that anyone who spends 630 dollars one of these phones is a sucker.
Some issues i have here:
looks like an 50 dollar att go phone generic android. logic says, i can just pirate a copy of their "privatOS" and rip it to my smartphone. same level of protection offered by their product.
you use it with your normal gsm provider. of course you're still being monitored. duh! the only advantage is the software doesn't have the the hidden recording and monitoring functions that log everything you do to a reserved section of your devices storage.
TLDR;they appear to be charging you 500 dollars for their custom operating system, plus the cost of the hardware. seems like a rip off.

The contradiction in this story is:
If the thief effectively controls the network now with his stake of 30%, how would you initiate a fork?
You simply couldn't. The thief could be coming out with his own wallet, blocking out everybody else. So whats going on here?
The whole story smells.
Why there were 30% of all coins in existence in a MintPal wallet?
Was that wallet staking?
Something doesn't add up here.
because in proof of stake coins, there is a master node responsible for checkpointing and alerts. this client is distinguished by a pair of private keys that are written into the source code. when this client comes online it checkpoints blocks as it syncs. therefore, you can modify this client, then when it comes online it will fork the network, forcing all clients to upgrade. those who do not update will be on the on the old network, and will receive alert messages to update their client. any attempt to change this private key pair in the source code by an attacker will render the entire blockchain invalid. its like a safety valve of sorts. |
