The point is that if you can play the game, they can play it too.

I already said I doubt fluffypony has 25 x 2.5%, but someone upthread said that.

And the truth is, I don't know how many coins each of you have. And I don't know who was mining like crazy on AWS as you admitted upthread.

So why are you attacking me?

This is where all this politics leads. It is a cesspool, blackhole timesink.


It is not your responsibility to inform everyone who reads a DASH thread that you have evidence of an instamine. If you want to do that, then expect to spend the rest of your life in a cesspool. I have more important things to do with my time.

You can put it in your signature as iCEBREAKER did (which is how I first came to read your thread about the instamine). Or just let him do it, as he loves to waste his time on arguing with everyone.

If all Monero has going for it is that you claim its mining was fair, then it is doomed. I hope you can have more positive things to do with your efforts. I respect your intellect and logic, and I want to create positive technology.

I do not respect trying to tell everyone else what is a fair launch or not ad nauseum. I appreciate you making a thread about DASH's alleged instamine. I appreciate your research. But you've gone too far by making a test of wills. Is this the most important thing in life?

I love to create new things. I was pissed off at the Bitcoiners who said we couldn't do anything important and we were worthless if we tried. Yeah I fought back against them and I fought for anonymity and decentralization.

But I don't have time to go police every altcoin. I see lots of coins that are just Copycoins. I don't have time to go argue with their communities about every one of them.

I guess I will just have to accept that isn't my role in life. People are entitled to waste their money. It is their money.

I don't really care what Dash does. How does that affect me?

I was thinking it drags the entire altcoin community down if there are so many Copycoins and scams. So if I really want to do something about that, then I better go crush them in the market place of features and technology. Not in the market place of words and politics.

I know everybody is going to attack. So let them. Nothing more I can do. Let them attack me.

Frankly I don't know who is honest. I start to think some people are honest, but then they behave strangely.

I guess all I can deduce is that those who play politics are politicians. And I know that generally speaking all politicians are corrupt.

Haha yeah "we the socialist people".

He always spins the concepts in support of his "we are all in this together" and thus his proposed socialistic "solutions".

I am of course fiercely for individualism and anonymous (autonomous) commerce and end of the State.

No way I could join the banksters and investment moguls. I want to destroy their paradigm. I want to make it irrelevant to accumulate large amounts of capital. I want to make money have a high slope of declining marginal utility. In other words, more money than you can actively invest in your Knowledge Age production, will become worthless to you in a zero margin tangible world (manufactured products will be nearly free).

Afair, you participated in my (as AnonyMint) "Bitcoin is a Ponzi" thread where I cited and discussed with you my "Bitcoin: The Digital Kill Switch" in 2013. So "nobody" is incorrect.


Smooth and iCebreaker are running a convincing campaign to elucidate that DASH (DarkCoin) was instamined.

Why do you think those guys (fluffypony, tacotime, smooth, etc) are moles for the banks? I sometimes have discussions with smooth. He is also working on AEON.

I read an innuendo yesterday that implied fluffypony has 25 x 2.5% of the XMR coins! I doubt that! But there was apparently one entity mining the hell out of Monero on AWS (these are just accusations I read yesterday so I dunno).

Seems the more plausible explanation is these are all just sort of scammy coins by guys who want to get rich and pretend (hide behind) an ethos that they are more ethical (holier than thou) the other scammer.

It is the Hegelian dialectic principle that TPTB employ where the lesser worst looks better (i.e. manufactured crisis).

But I still doubt that. I bet it is just human natures at play.

Also I want to move away from getting into these political battles. Who cares! Can't we just go create great tech and make our presentations and let the users decide what they want to buy and use.

I wish VanillaCoin good luck. My confidence is well founded. I haven't copied a thing from them. I've (as AnonyMint) been working on my own stuff for 2.5 years. And there are no similarities whatsoever in our algorithms and methods. And I have stated all my logic over in the altcoin forum as to why they haven't proven theirs can work (and several other long-time experts have agreed with me). And they have released no details whatsoever on their anonymity algorithms. The chance that they discovered what I did on anonymity is about zero. Again I wish them good luck and have no desire to continue any discord with them.

When people follow you to other threads, stalking you, that is indicative of whom is the leader.

Armstrong has picked up on our upthread theme that Westerners are humanists who think they are in control of nature:

http://www.armstrongeconomics.com/archives/35938

Why is it that I often wrote his blog posts for him in advance 

Okay I won't go off on that tangent here.

Again I suggest features for an altcoin related to anonymous virtual commerce (not retail physical commerce for the reasons I stated upthread):

Dualism is I think the more accurate term similar to the concept of covariance vs. contravariance in the Liskov Substitution Principle or inductive vs. co-inductive structures in math and logic.

For example in Haskell, the top of all of the types is _|_ (Bottom, i.e. it is all types simultaneously!) whereas in most computer languages the top of all types is Any (it can be any type), i.e. when you cast to (void *) in C.

To express infinity in an inductive representation, you have a starting point and you enumerate an inductive operation from each point to create another point, e.g. the natural numbers are the recurrence relation:

nat = nat + 0

To express infinity in a co-inductive representation, there is an unknown ending point (that is never reached) and a function to return another point of the series. For example streams in computer science are co-inductive. You open a handle to the I/O streams and read input from it until you receive an EOF (end of file).

We hyperrealists say that we can have things, but we don't assert that we have complete control over them and we view the world as an inductive conjunction of global and local entropy. You nihilists say that we don't have any things.

So this is why you think all our efforts are in vain. But I hope you've just realized that it is just a dualism and thus you are neither more correct than we are (and vice versa). And thus the debate between you and RealBitcoin in the Economic Devastation thread about the importance of property rights.

We need to create an anonymous internet... (Tor and I2P are not)

I love you because I am formerly AnonyMint and since 2013 my goal has been to add more anonymity to cryptoland. Thanks for validating my thesis about a coming glorious, anonymous Knowledge Age.

Apologies I didn't mean to imply that BTC will disappear or even that it will become the smaller market cap any time soon. I just mean that for what we need in the Knowledge Age, BTC is lacking those aspects trollercoaster enumerated. Note I havent engaged in private conversations with trollercoaster about details of my work.

There is one aspect that is still not solved for crypto-currency which is filtering of the protocol. The next TODO will be steganography and also figuring out how to keep the block chain online with HAM and shortwave radio should that become necessary.

After selling some coins, we can fund the research & development needed on those remaining items. That is one reason we should not do a mining launch and then throw away all your money into hardware and electricity, when instead we can pool your money and put it towards solving all our needs. I have a lot of other ideas for existing and new projects that need funding that appeal to our common goals and interests. We just need to make sure that when we will sell coins that we do on an open market exchange and that we document where all the money is being spent (no way to repay a loan in order to cheat if you spend the money received), so it is provable that the controlling entity (which won't be me!) isn't hoarding coins. I can not be a controlling entity due to SEC regulations and I am a USA citizen. I will have to be paid by such an entity for my services.

I hope everyone understands I expect to be paid very well so I can retire. That means perhaps up to 1% of the coins (of course some spent over time to fund my lifestyle thus not 1% forever, but also not dumped on the market all at once or even when the coin is young). I've worked tirelessly nearly 18 x 7 on this for the past 2.5 years self-funding myself (except for roughly BTC15-20 I received from rpietila, smooth, and jl777 in 2014 and big thanks to them) and depleting my savings. But angel investors would take more than that any way, so that is why I wanted to make sure the angel investment gets spread around so that no one can dominate the markets early on.

One thing that can be done for anyone who attains 1% of the coin supply in this early vestment period is to lock coins for a period of time, even with staggered times they become tradable, so they can't be all dumped onto the exchanges all at once.

The other challenge faced is trying to launch a coin into a down market and the crypto community losing its fever pitch to buy altcoins. Any way, I think 4 - 6 months means launch as crypto is bottoming if you believe Armstrong's model that the low for gold will be March or April 2016.

For angel investors, they get to lock in their stake in dollars now while BTC is still loitering near $300. I do think we have a bounce in BTC coming right about now and hopefully one more time up to $325 so you all get one more chance to divest BTC before the collapse below $150 (if I am correct that BTC will follow gold down as both being private assets).

Also we have the GavinCoin threat (promise?) to fork Bitcoin in March, so someone pointed out to me in private that this might contribute to a selloff in BTC. My thought is to stand on the sidelines until the GavinCoin crap is sorted out. Others look at it as a chance to own coins in two forks and sell in one or both forks. I don't have an opinion on that. Haven't studied what can happen.

This GavinCoin scenario is opening the door for an innovative altcoin to step up. But remember the mass media will probably always favor BTC so don't expect any altcoin that seriously challenges BTC on tech to get media coverage. Big media might even have a policy of blackout on it. Note I have a connection in the media that writes often about computer security and crypto currencies. So I think I can tap him (and there will be others).

• 1st they criticize
• 2nd they attack
• 3rd they join

Also the other factor is Blockstream and their sidechains. If that becomes serious and it could this Fall, then there needs to be a strategy to make sure they can't just copy your coin and make it a side chain. And the easiest way to do that, is make your coin also a side chain. I have some ideas about how to cleverly do that while still retaining independence also.

The person who I had in mind to be a public liason on this coin has declined (unless if no one else can be found). So that position is still open. It should be a paid position since you take on some responsibility and exposure. But that person needs to be absolutely trustworthy. Please no one that will post in the threads of other coins or attack any one about any thing. Even though I've done that occassionally in the past, I want to stop that entirely. And no one that will tell users what they must buy. A person who will not turn hoards of people into haters against the project. Yes there are other coins that are scams, but that is not our problem. Lead by positive actions and results, not by negative comparisons against your scammy competition. One user did PM me offering to be that person. I will try to follow up with him.

After much contemplation, I have decided I prefer to remain anonymous (plausible deniability) on such a coin project. Thus I want to go silent about it again. No more details from me. You won't be able to prove if it was really me or not (but hey don't be stupid, you've been given copious hints).

So thus I won't be announcing who is that liason publicly.

If you've expressed an interest to invest as angel investor, then you will be contacted. And there will be some way to prove the tie to me for those angel investors.

For everyone else (the public), you've read every thing I am going to write about this from my user account.

Again I am doing this mostly because I want these tools. My best creations have come from tools I wanted to use myself. When I created CoolPage (and even though I am not proud of CoolPage's tech any more), I was frustrated when using Abobe PageMill (had a free copy from my prior work) to layout a web page and I couldn't afford NetObjects Fusion (or I couldn't download the 40MB trial because I was on slow dialup connection in Philippines) so I created something easier-to-use and access.

I am doing this now because I want to use these tools. So you can expect me to make them excellent as time allows the necessary coding to do refinements, because I want to use the tools. I hate Bitmessage's GUI and feature set, even though I am grateful it exists. I'll be so happy when we can replace Bitmessage with something easy-to-use and access.

What do I mean by easy-to-use and access? Well for one thing, it should be as simple as pointing your browser to a URL and a GUI client appears. Point and click.

Lot of work ahead me now. The conceptual work is about done. Now the grinding programming. So going silent is necessary any way.

P.S. for an example of why I need the math PhD's assistance and review, I need help to understand what Gregory Maxwell is referring to about the non-unity cofactor for EdDSA:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=380482.msg4083612#msg4083612

That is an example where my math is sorely lacking. I could figure it out with a lot of time, but right about now we need me to be coding and not teaching myself higher abstract algebra maths.

I would still like to find another coder who is at my level or higher. Preferably someone who knows how to code in Java and also knows cryptography. We would have a lot of paid work to throw at the person at even higher levels of pay especially after launch of the base testnet and core block chain functionality when we can sell coins on an open market exchange to raise funds to pay developers at top rates of conpensation (to get the best, you need to not be stingy). Just imagine all the work that needs to be done on GUI wallet, block chain explorer, etc..

Also I thoroughly understand about the need to use low level languages (for performance and) to ensure constant time cryptography and also to use typed languages to avoid silly cryptography bugs.

The proposed ICO method is not provably able to limit the controlling group's share of the money supply due to the ability to take a loan and drive the price so high that only you buy all your own coins, then you repay your loan. Then you have no development funds. And price of your coins subsequently crash. Or some mix where you buy only some of your own coins with a loan, causing ICO investors to pay higher prices. Again the result would be prices would later collapse to the market price on the open exchange market.

So thus the proposed ICO method has been abandoned. There is an obviously simple solution. I don't think it is necessary to state it.

Do remember the coin launches using mining throw away all the capital due to the cost of the mining equipment and electricity to those corporations. And mining launches are also not fair because some have advantages such as botnets, optimized mining code, GPU optimized mining code, access to lower cost or subsidized electricity, etc, etc..

It shouldn't be difficult to make a launch that is provably more market transparent than than mining launch. Smart people find solutions. Some others would rather waste the capital and then claiminsist and troll that mining launches are more transparent   Seems like they are determined to fail in everything they do.
