So when is this "Chinese Botnet" going to dump? Almost time to buy again.

I would go with they already did, Monero got severely hammered down when emission was still high and there was a lot less people trying to buy coins than now. I don't think they have as many coin as they say.

Is that all they could do? Haha then this coin is the most stable it's ever been!

Bad for me though, I sold at parity and have to wait for a dip to get back in.

Is this Monero's time to shine? To me the stage is set and bitcoin is ripe for a non-hostile takeover. A Director with the Bitcoin Foundation has gone public and said that they are essentially bankrupt and dysfunctional.

Check it out:

https://ihb.io/2015-04-04/news/bitcoin-millionaire-olivier-janssens-expose-bitcoin-foundation-16737

The "Bitcoin Foundation" failing and shutting down would be one of the best things that could happen to Bitcoin, but this is somewhat off topic for here.


I disagree, It has bearing just as DRK's decline does.


AAAnd you know it's a FUD campaign/Dump to lower price to accumulate as TauntStewie is back.

Boy you retards are more predictable than a case of herpes.

I ain't got nothing to do with this.  Even BCexpress is too busy now for your MonEr0 $hitcoin.  

imo it's Rpietila dumping to pay for his asylum fees.  $1000 a night bed in the ward ain't cheap..

Why are the top two coins, in terms of volume, going down at the same time on Poloniex?   Seems like some kind of insider trading or manipulation group..

545  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do most known experts and widly-respected posters prefer PoW over PoS & PoI? on: April 04, 2015, 09:24:13 PM
Just replied to a similar question in another thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624223.msg10981889#msg10981889

Basically because not that many people stake their coins, they leave them on an exchange or the leave them offline. So, if a major exchange gets hacked and 5 or 10% of the available coin supply gets stolen, this can be more than enough coins to do a 51% attack, since not everyone/most people don't leave their wallets staking all the time. This vulnerability (related to centralized exchanges) just doesn't exist for PoW coins. The fairly recent hacks and thefts of Mintpal/Vericoin and Bter/NXT are real world examples of this.

NXT example is wrong.  At most they only had 5% of the total supply on BTER and the hacker returned most of them.

It's at lot easier to get 51% of hash power than it is to buy / steal 51% of a PoS coin.   Most people in cryptos are holding to the moon, so for you to get 51% of a coin you would have to create thousands of millionaires (spend $billions of dollars).   Whereas some mining pools, before they split up, had essentially came close to attaining 51% - if you can get 51% with computers in basements, all you probably need is a $50 million compound to get 51% of Bitcoin's hash.   Grin  Cheesy

Coinsy isn't from the core development team or the marketing team - he's just one of the thousands of people who are NEM / XEM holders, including me, it is Our NEM.


At the moment the price of XEM is really pure speculation but that was no different from NEMstake from June 2014 to March 2015. .  I think NEM's mobile client is coming out in a week or weeks (...months?) but, as awesome it could end up being, I don't think it by itself will send XEM into the stratosphere..  because there's already some alts with mobile clients and it's not really a huge wow factor.


In terms of speculation I'm only really seeing:

1. NEM has to avoid hacks / thefts and then it can promote itself as being the safest / most secured crypto currency (due to Cosigning, Eigentrust++, et al).  Yes exchange theft can be prevented if they all implement cosigning with funds.


2. AltNemo / Ecosystem has to take off

3. User adoption (which will probably be the result of the above two, plus some marketing).



There's also always the scenario that the Chinese come in and pump (like they did with NXT, BTS, et cetera) but that will only send a coin to around $60-$100 million and what goes up must come down.. and it doesn't goess well for a coin's reputation if people get burned by extreme volatility..

Hey all.

The NEM community subreddit is hosting an off-site giveaway at www.reddit.com/r/nem to celebrate the launch of NEM and to give new users the chance to get their hands on their first few XEM and play around with it while at the same time promote XEM to users not affiliated with crypto.

The rules are simple:

1) Your reddit account must be older than 1 month.

2) Your XEM account must be empty. This giveaway is meant to give you your first coins.

3) Make a XEM meme or a post about XEM  in a forum or webpage NOT associated with NEM or cryptocurrencies.

4) The post you will link must be made at a time after this post

5) Post a reply in www.reddit.com/r/nem giveaway thread containing a link to your post or meme, your XEM address and a couple of words about your idea of what XEM is..

Welcome to XEM! Enjoy Your stay!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

XEM holders that want to help with the giveaway can donate some XEM to the NEM community subreddit support address:

*Address Removed*

or donate to users straight from your accounts.

This giveaway is sponsored by the members of NEM community and the NEM community subreddit
Thank you for your support.


There are no allegations directed at OkayNow but, given the history of con jobs in cryptos, it is recommended to refrain from donating XEM to him until he implements a cosigned address with a trusted member of the community

XEM is first egalitarian crypto.  Proof of importance.  

How many men ever went to a barbecue and would let one man take off the table what's intended for 9/10th of the people to eat? The only way to be able to feed the balance of the people is to make that man come back and bring back some of that grub that he ain't got no business with!
550  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NEM Official Thread -NEM has launched[Updates&Discussion] on: April 03, 2015, 01:38:50 AM
Just curious but why is it still called the Beta Client if NEM has already been launched? Will NEM have a protracted beta phase similar to Bitcoin instead of NXT?



Is NEM really from scratch? It should be here soon: http://mapofcoins.com/

Yup it's new code created from scratch. It was originally meant to be a NXT clone but later on, the decision was made to rebuild it from the ground up.

I'm not sure where it would fit in that site though. It would probably be placed in its own group since it's not a fork of any existing currency or perhaps it could have a faint line joining it up with NXT to show that it was heavily inspired by it despite not sharing any code. Other than that, no other project that I know of has attempted forking NEM yet so it would just be sitting there alone.

I see that a lot of work really went into this: http://bob.nem.ninja/docs/ I never liked POS and I still think POW is the best distribution and mining model so far but I really want to see how this POI will play out. I also dont like how some chosen few people get to get 9 billion coins for free and just dump it for BTC later.

Beginning to sound like a blockchain reactionary.   Wink  


I think PoW is just nostalgic.  Many people today struggle with PoW and that is despite 6 years of tutorials and guides, imagine trying to do it back in 2009 when there was no educational resources.  You pretty much needed to be a computer science graduate to had been an early PoW miner.   With NEM you only need a PhD to harvest - Public high school Diploma PhD  Cheesy  You only need to click a button in NEM and you've engaged that faster than light drive.   Shocked

No, this is the only thing i dont have  Cheesy , the most important thing i have is my son.

Dont get me wrong Cfb, your realy a great coder and someone who is active creating and working in the szene, but the way you are collecting informations is great entertainment,  thanks for that   Grin .

You also seem to get me wrong. NEM is a bishop in my chess game against the state. I'm analyzing it for flaws trying to transform it into a rook or even a queen. My intentions are not altruistic, but they are not about money.



but how will dear Svetlana get her beluga caviar if you are in Beloslav prison getting H0M0s from Igor and Vladnik?  You're not going against any state..  Cheesy

557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Any bitcoin-turned-millionaires here? on: March 22, 2015, 06:54:56 AM
1 million will not buy you a very nice private island. You guys overestimate the term "millionaire". It's no longer what it was in 1950.

I find the term millionaire funny. In here, India, you can find most middle class families having properties worth several millions. You cant say looking at them how much money have they stashed away. Heck, i own agricultural land here worth a million US dollars. We dont find the term millionaire exciting much. The term has lost the value
1 million USD in India? Middle class?

1 million USD isn't a lot in New York or London or Paris or Tokyo. In India with several million? I highly doubt you can say they're middle class.

Rupees are used in India. 1 million rupees are worth only 61 BTC.

I am infact talking about US dollars

There are only 15,000 millionaires in India and counting their dependents we are talking about 75,000 - 150,000 people in a country of over a billion.  Otherwise India's millionaire households are only 0.000056% of the total population.    Middle class is often defined as 40%-50% in developed countries and 10%-30% in the developing world.  So millionaires are not middle class in India.

The hotel industry will soon be organizing the same response to Air BnB.

Already FUD articles coming out like how an Air BnB apartment can make an owner $2500 a month when renting it would only make $1000 - $1500 and that people are being kicked out of their homes so the landlord can go Air BnB.    Roll Eyes

Nothing new to offer, much hype much coins

Too many people got caught up in the bubble, ate up the hype and thought blockchain was a lot bigger than it really was.   Today we have people like Jeffrey Robinson, the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank who put the estimates of users at 250,000 and less.  No alternate, not even Litecoin, even hits 25% of that tiny estimate.




Good news:  Bitcoin's user base does appear to be exponentially doubling every 8 months.

Bad News:  It's still obscure as hell and probably needs a good 6 years until it can rival the early search engines.


In Ethereum's case - they played a lot of people for suckers.  Google in the mid-1990s only received investments in the six figure ranges and they were going into a market that had a proof of concept (Yahoo, by the very late 1990s, had over 100 million users and was well off).

Ethereum on the hand hand collected $18 million in an industry which has 250,000 or less users (so no proof of concept, especially in the user adoption sense).  So 500x less market and 10-50x more initial capital, should we suspect something?
