Eric Truss is definitely fake.
LinkedIn - 0 connections, 0 photo, 0 content.
The others aren't even on there unless the JS 'guru' is a handbag maker from Italy.

I have read a lot of text in the official blog regarding the crowdfunding, but there is something still unclear to me.
Can I please have clear answer in this questions:
1. Is there escrow for this crowdfund?
2. If yes, who is that, and how the guarantee looks like (mean what are conditions for releasing the funds)?
3. Please post a link to a page where the escrow (not you) lists those terms, signed by escrow.
Thanks.

I also have reservations.
I checked the PrismChain team.
The only guy on linkedin is Eric Truss - No photo, no connections.
I find it hard to believe that Adolfo, having a "12 years back experienced Javascript developer, supporting node.js from its birth" is not on linkedin.
The forum is down.
I have lost BTC to far more polished and believable outfits - so the onus is on them to get some trust.

although the other houses in my row were covered in snow mine was completely snow free.
I knew a guy with GPU rigs who had this - we had some snow in March 2013 and we laughed about his roof. A week later he got raided at 5:30 in the morning by the police looking for a cannabis farm. They told him that their helicopter dude was almost blinded by his roof. They paid for his door but his Missus wasn't happy. The next year he was mining POT Coin just for the irony. |

Bytecoin was the fist anonymous coins, but the distribution of it is quite dubious, so Monero was generated to have fairer distribution.
If bytecoin was the first anonymous coin then why it is not a very popular and well adopted coins and why called it dubious had some bytecoins here and still waiting what will happen to this coin.. You won't get much objective info on BCT. https://bytecoin.org/roadmap/The fact that Bytecoin is the first Cryptonote and is updated more regularly and has more usability features than any other note is unwelcome news here. |

It's freezing outside but I'm roasting in here with the rigs burning away. These are the standard r9 280x gpu rigs not asics.
What's the opinon on heating your home like this? healthy or not?
With regard specifically to the air you'd be inhaling? rather than the electro magnetic concerns? I measured those and they seem to have only a very short reach and for the most part I'm way out of range.
How about the air quality?
Say for instance 25 rigs with 3 gpus? each in a 4 bedroom house. Although most are just in two rooms.
The only thing i could imagine is the heat transfer goop that stick the heat sinks on - does that give of any toxic fumes even in very small doses?
I think you are pretty safe to breath! The rigs are basically just thermal fan heaters. Also if you are using wired Ethernet and keep the rigs in server cases the EMC should be low. However - back in the day when I was mining scrypt with GPU rigs, I took the dogs for a walk and when I came back one of my rigs was on fire. Proper flames coming out of a newish PSU - it would have spread if I had come back much later. Needless to say I had plenty of smoke detectors and a couple of fire extinguishers to hand after this! |

Both will probably be non-existent in a few years. If by some chance Monero survives it will find its use as a privacy-centric currency / store of value, not as an investment vehicle. The non-fixed emission (to maintain mining incentives ad infinitum) means that it will never have the same scarcity as Bitcoin, but I think it's already been demonstrated that scarcity in altcoin distribution is wholly overrated.
Fluffy, what do you mean Monero will probably be non-existent in a few years? What makes you say that? Lack of consumer adoption will be the downfall of many of the altcoin projects. It's critical to understand the paramount importance of brand name. There is a fickle nature to the consumer, and picking the winners can be tough. It could be Monero or it could be BananaCoin. None of these cryptocurrency have any current relevance to any 'consumer' at present, with perhaps BTC having very limited relevance. Any or all of these coins can continue as long as people are interested in them. At some point there will probably be an event, innovation or discovery that could propel any currency with a good dev team into the stratosphere. What they should not do is let themselves atrophy like the BTC and LTC team have done. In such an event, 'contender' currencies include NXT, Dash, Bytecoin, Monero, Boolberry and quite a few others - even if Monero devs walked away in a few years there could still be a take over and a chance of mainstream for Monero or any of the others. I think that, given the strengths and competition (bad tempered and healthy) of Cryptonote dev teams it is likely to be a Cryptonote that takes advantage. |

For me, there is not too much Bytecoin to mine, so I will choose Monero, as it is still in the distribution stage.
The much lower BCN hash rate, to some extent, mitigates the effect of being further on down the distribution stage. With the high XMR hash rate you might even find it is more profitable to mine something else and use them to buy XMR. Digitalnote is quite interesting as is Boolberry. Also Boolberry isn't on Minergate so has an even lower hash rate. |

I also think it's a cool coin.  It's one of the few I bought as opposed to just mine.  |

I don't know what is Maidsafe about but recently the price of the coin is slowly creeping up. Something is brewing in this coin and it could explode upwards soon.
Nothing has brewed. The price has been on a downward trajectory for a year. Hence this thread. |

There is no "opinion" on the premined/ninjamined issue, it is undisputed that it is one or the other (and do note the care with which I stated this in my previous post). The only question is whether the equivalent of several thousand dollars of cloud computing (or much less in power costs on dedicated hardware) were spent to fake the two years of chain altogether (premine) or if it really was mined exclusively in secret for two years (ninjamine). Ultimately the result today is the same.
Yes. I was complimenting you on your post and suggesting for your own convenience to put all of the above in your sig - if nothing else to avoid you risking RSI. |

I like Maidsafe and think it will be valuable if it ever comes to fruition.
Yes, but the OT was not about liking Maidsafe - it is attempting to determine if it has reached the point where it is futile to expect it to materialise as was advertised. And if so - why the market cap for what is then just another shitcoin with no active development. Another project I consider vapour zerocoin, at least never released a shitcoin - 'in the meantime'. The situation with Maidsafe reminded me of the multiple Amiga NextGen vapourware pre-order scams that never materialised. |

Wow! New year and a chilled out, objective and direct to the point and on-topic Smooth. The rewards of BCN are much, much lower both because two-years worth of chain was premined/ninjamined and because of the fast halving schedule. Accordingly, its hash rate is also much, much lower.
It would be easier if you just put your BCN premine/ninjamine opinion in your sig and be done with it. Coinmarketcap begs to differ with this opinion as do many others - however your analysis of the effects of the longer BCN chain is sound. The difference in hash rate between BCN & XMR is around tenfold. |

Thanks you very much for your extensive explanation.
ROFL - Extensive explanation! The original topic was "What is the difference between Monero (XMR) and Bytecoin (BCN)?" Fluffy reeled of a list of Monero achievments - which he would. He is a Monero dev, you know and naturally wants to advertise his coin. However you wouldn't choose between a Big Mac and a Whopper purely on the so say of McDonalds or Burger King. Best to jump on each website and take a look at the respective roadmaps and update history if you want a balanced view. |

Would be intresting to see how much of that 6 million is left after a year ... ~16 people can certainly eat that up quick.
Not as quickly as 1 bankster! |

There are just so many coins available at the moment, so l have decided to seek out the best coin developers and the coins they
represent if you know of any please list them below?
best developers will be the ones on best coins. that is only thing that actually matter. Noo! Best devs are witty, self deprecating and will go out with you on a drunken bar crawl. They may even share their cute geeky girlfriend with you. |

Maidsafe/Safecoin, after the initial hype doesn't seem to have gone anywhere. Coins that have had a lot less hype and initial funding seem to see far more active development. Cryptonotes etc. Rich coins that have been pummelled and scorned are also seeing innovative development - NXT etc Since years they have had on the website (regarding farmers etc);
Coming soon...
The network is in the advanced stage of testing, but not quite ready for prime time.Genuine question - is this safecoin/maidsafe just a bad joke hype and vapourware in the esteemed tradition of NextGen Amiga? Even if it is not vapourware - haven't we all moved on from this idea of distributed computation unit? Still we see good market cap and less than dormant daily market volumes - bag holders swapping out or more hype for the clueless. Apologies if the above is way out of line with reality but, somehow, I don't think so.  |

Hello friends I'm starting to mine for cpu, I Monero mining notebook, I'm considering getting one gridseed. My question is whether it is possible to mine Monero with a gridseed,Hello friends I'm starting to mine for cpu, I Monero mining notebook, I'm considering getting one gridseed. My question is whether it is possible to mine Monero with a gridseed, if so, it is worth purchasing? this is the model you intend to buy http://www.ebay.com/itm/GridSeed-BTC-LTC-dual-Miner-/151916987213?hash=item235ef5434d:g:~5AAAOSwp5JWbcShThank you all. Ps .: If my topic is at improper location, sorry, you can delete the post. I really wouldn't recommend mining on a laptop. Mine on a desktop and be prepared to clean CPU and slap on more thermal gunk every few months. More cores = good. Crypto extensions even better! Minergate is a good option for casual miners - it's easy to switch 'Notes if you want to diversify your portfolio. For a long term, slow burn investment I would recommend Boolberry (although no Minergate unfortunately) and definitely build up some Bytecoins as well. Monero has a small but vocal following (Some would say rabid following) but the manipulation and alienation of all other alts would put me off IMHO. |

...
ANC is risky but potencial for grow is 100x bigger...
Your posts are nothing more than shilling a shitcoin in another coins thread. ROFL! What a liberty! Pumping another coin in a Monero thread - such audaciousness, much blatent. |
|
|
|
This thread deserves a bump.
The fact that this blatant abuse is allowed on Monero fawning threads but similar or far less abuse is tolerated on non or anti Monero threads speaks volumes about the bias on this forum. |
