Sucks doesn't it when you can't peddle shitcoins any more.

I better not continue posting in the altcoin forums, because then n00bs might actually start investing in the few innovative coins that actually prove their claims beyond any reasonable doubt.

You still don't seem to understand that perhaps the people capable of attacking it won't do it until there is enough value to extract out of attacking it. I already explained several times that $2100 in VNL is not a bounty because after one successfully attacks it, the VNL will very likely decline in value before the person gets paid the bounty and can convert it to BTC. And it is not high enough any way. It will require some resources, time, and skills to work out and launch such an attack. Personally I am not interested.

Also I read today that John has been caught turning the mining off and on, thus the test net is not a unprotected P2P network where the adversary can apply all his potential powers.

All we asked was for him to explain how he would handle Sybil and DoS attacks and then you call us trolls for wanting to have a complete white paper and not Swiss cheese. Perhaps he can solve those issues or he can explain why he believes they are non-issues. Or perhaps he doesn't want to at this time to hide them from his competitors. But again, I don't see solutions to those issues. So I remain unconvinced.

It wasn't personal until you called me a troll.

Real scholars and devs appreciaterequire peer review.

Now nextgencoin will try to take advantage of your ignorance of tech.

john won't respond. period. Forget the rest of the obfuscation he appended to that.

David doesn't count as far as I am concerned.

Okay so Monero has an advantage and I urge that poster to invest in Cryptonote such a Monero because it is non-anon. Please do it  

And then he will be presented with something superior with an anon dev, and he will refuse to invest. And that will be the perfect lesson for him.


I don't think non-examples replaced with subjective opinions demonstrate correlation or lack thereof.

Look we are not so dumb here.

We all know it is very easy to identify which projects will be successful. It has nothing to do with anonymity, although sometimes anonymity will be correlated with the signs of failure, e.g. john-conner is anonymous on VanillaCoin and he has been caught doing half-assed white papers, stealing Bitcoin code while representing it as his own original work, etc..

The easy way to identify successful projects is the quality of the technology. Even Ethereum's technology sucked that is why it was easy to see they would fail. The concept was flawed (to have every peer replicate the CPU cost of the runtimes).

I am trying to explain to this hard-headed simpleton that those coins he is so enamored with, they don't have any competitive advantage.

Copycoins are a dime a dozen.

Success will be handed to those coins with a unique technological innovation that fills a large market need. Market needs for cryptocoins have to do with virtual worlds and virtual commerce, not with retail commerce.

You can even see the female in the Digibyte promo video trying to pay for retail clothing item and she can't even figure out how to do it with her smartphone. It is cumbersome, slow, and silly. People will simply pay with cash or atm swipe card. In Hong Kong they already have the Octopus swipe card accepted every where even the McDonalds.

The big frontier is virtual commerce. There is so much virtual commerce that is locked up because we don't have permissionless microtransations.

I am about to present the solution to this. And it will be big time innovation.

So go on with this time wasting crap here, I am out of here now. Wasting time here on nonsense.

Let me teach you a lesson the hard way.

Let me teach you a lesson the hard way.

Is fluffypony non-anon since he appears to be the most prolific dev in terms of the code?

If yes, where can I find all his public identity information, videos, photos, address, etc?

I have shared my Youtube boxing videos, my address (even a photo of my current residence from the outside), and my photos.


Why silly? The individual wants to judge everything with his eyes. So I give him something he can relate to. This is the way simpletons "think" (by example and what they can relate to, not by abstract conceptualization).


Anonymity or not doesn't seem to correlate with performance.

There are many, many examples of non-anon who have defrauded the community.

If someone refuses to invest in the greatest investment of a lifetime because they don't like anonymous devs, they deserve to lose.

I'm very tempted to go anonymous just so I can make those fools lose.

As does whether one is anonymous or not proves nothing too.

Btw, you and the Monero devs are anonymous, and I am not.

Let's see if the law returns 100% of everyone's Mt.Gox stolen wallets (impossible since he was spending on expenses since BTC = $10).

Let's see if the Feds get caught stealing again from what they confiscated.

The world is upside down. Get used to it.

Are you idiotically claiming they could not? And it doesn't need to be very small. just a few % of the entire transactions in a block, which could be quite a large amount.


Yes it is idiotic to state that the only purpose of a 51% attack is to double-spend coins. How would someone even double-spend that?

With Bitcoin at $800,000 per block now, so how easily are you going to be able to get away with double-spending even 1% of that? Who is going to be dumb enough to accept an $8000 1-conf transaction? So you need to split into say 100 x $80 transactions. Not worth it!


KYC fool. The big red, white, and blue Patriot Act dick rammed up in your ignorant asshole and you don't even know it yet.

Piss off ignoramus.

Mt. Gox had retail offices. Everybody knew his name. They even confronted him in front of his offices, all to no avail.

Mt. Gox had retail offices. Everybody knew his name. They even confronted him in front of his offices, all to no avail.

I stand by my assessment. Copycoins that will die. I can 99% guarantee it.

There will only be a few coins that survive and they will have to be very unique, meaning technology the other coins don't do.

As for the anonymity of the devs, well I am not anonymous. Everybody knows I am Shelby Moore. And I even gave my prior business address above.

Two clarifications to my prior two posts.

1. For Transfer, my opinion is that adding I2P or Tor creates a false sense of security if the activities you are hiding including anything that is of interest to authorities (tax, criminal, civil law, regulatory law, national security, etc).


2. For Digibyte, what I am trying to to convey he may do himself a disservice by judging everything according to old world norms:

• retail use
• visible offices
• visible devs

In my opinion, those attributes are antiquated and irrelevant now. And he will likely miss out on the huge gains in cryptoland due to his myopia. I feel strongly enough about this to stand my ground on my opinion. Again I respect his right to disagree.

Although he has a right to his emotional or historical attachment to the brick&mortar economy, I (as AnonyMint and other usernames) have for the past 3 years been writing about the end of the industrial age and the fledgling Knowledge Age.

In the 1980s, I had such a small startup company with physical office, Neocept Inc., 547 Constitution Ave Unit A, Camarillo, California, USA.. And we produced physical packaging for our software and shipped it via UPS every day. I had a warehouse in the back and offices in the front.

But that changed ever since the internet. I did CoolPage.com (a $million business from 1998 to 2006) all myself working from a Nipa Hut in the Philippines.

I think some people are stuck in a timewarp. It is like I am 20 years ahead of them.

Regarding Digibyte's Chinese programmers, I tried to hire a Chinese cryptographer from Hong Kong and he demanded too high of a price considering his very terse communications. I ended up instead with a PhD in Math from the USA for the same cost. He didn't understand the concept of working virtually and taking some coins as compensation as a motivation for good performance. The Chinese have not yet made the transition from the tangible economy. They are learning but are behind in some respects especially in entrepreneurial software development.

When I worked at Fractal Design Corp from 1993 & 1995 (on what is now Corel Painter...the software that shipped in a paint can), we did hire a Chinese programmer (grew up in the USA) and she was able to become productive quite rapidly (but not as rapidly as myself, when I fixed the printer driver code on my first day of employment). I was teaching her how to hunt down bugs in complex code, and she went on to become the most prolific bug fixer after I left. But I doubt very much she would have invented new technology or gone off on her own to do an entrepreneurial high risk creative endeavor.

Who are you any way?

See the point is that who we are, is much less valuable (to the community or investors) than what we accomplish.

That you don't know the accomplishments of jl777 is instructive.

Yes it was donated because it was (nearly) freely given away to the person who donated it. No distinction.

Well sort of any way... I don't want to pick on smooth. Perfectly okay for me if he has 2.5% of AEON.

Well getting some point-of-sale use perhaps seems impressive to you (not to me), but in my opinion that isn't really what is driving crypto-currency (not very convenient or advantageous for that application). I already stated upthread "anonymity, decentralization, ease of access" are my opinion of what is driving cryptoland.

I respect your right to disagree.

Just because you can't see me programming in my bedroom with nearly no cost overhead, doesn't mean I am not more productive than all those Chinese programmers combined.    

I wasn't arguing for Nxt. I responded upthread stating that I know jl777 is still coding every day.

My reaction...


I explained those two as not being desireable features yesterday in my posts:

Of course you do...



...preying on retirees who have a fixed (and declining) income is so very ethical.

Afaics, this coin's only claimed new feature is "Delta" a claimed faster difficulty adjustment:

Oh Whoopie Doo! I almost wet my pants.

Copycoin.

In their own words...

FYI regarding solutions for totalitarianism, here is what $250,000 in investment could buy you (note nothing in terms of advance for anonymity mentioned):
