That's a joke, market caps of mined and non-mined coins are completely different things. I can fuckin make non-mined coin and give it like gazzilion units and dethrone Bitcoin if I want.

Such unargumented FUD topics should be deleted by mods at once. Keep this forum as clean as possible. Ofc, OPs to be IP-banned.

Wow, what a utter complete bullshit topic. OP, you're in for the prize. 1st prize among all the retarded trolls I saw here, so far.
704  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Comparing Anonymous Coins on: August 23, 2014, 05:59:52 AM
in my opnioin  Anonymous Coins is meaningless.When people say something about Anonymous it may illegal or something.And the government won't let any Anonymous coins survive.If we have a choice,i'd rather choose some more reality feature.

...another sheep among us. go away, idiot.
705  Bitcoin / Project Development / Looking for free, opensource and flexible automated trading platform? on: August 20, 2014, 06:13:40 AM
I did my research, the best one you can get is here: https://github.com/pulsecat/cryptrade

It runs .coffee scripts, same ones that run on cryptotrader.org, but the problem is it is abandoned for about 8 months now. Seems like developer has focused on cryptotrader.org's closed source version. Platform specific code is available for Bitstamp, BTC-e and CEX.io. Already tried it for Bitstamp and BTC-e and it seems it works, I have several trades now.

Would be really good for advanced automated trading community if this project resurrects and I'm even willing to put some bounties for porting it to Kraken and Bitfinex as well as healing some bugs...

conclusion: so far DRK is the winner among anonymous cryptos.

And to the guy calling for the death of Satoshi, I hope you lose all your coins.

Chillout I was kidding and even I put some smileys...
708  Economy / Speculation / Re: rpietila Calling the Bottom on: August 16, 2014, 05:38:33 AM
Face it. Bitcoin is failing. The average person is smart enough to stay away from this speculative ponzi scheme.

Still speculative, but not Ponzi at all! Read about Ponzi.
709  Economy / Speculation / Re: rpietila Calling the Bottom on: August 15, 2014, 06:06:57 PM
I'm starting to be pessimistic about it all, and I even think we may not witness next Bitcoin bubble in near future... Here's why:

  • All the geeks and early adopters are in. Who is still left-out is ignorant mass which can't comprehend Bitcoin incentives over Paypal, nor they can see it actually heals the worldwide economy. Yes, we're waiting for a big investors too, but I doubt they will enter such unregulated market which is public enemy nr. 1 of states and banking system. Finally, billionares are billionares just because of the corrupted fiat money system, and actually they kind of chopping off the branch they're sitting on.
  • Price of Bitcoin: new Bitcoins are released every day and we need about 1.5mil$/day just to keep the price stagnant. It's really not the same like Bitcoin was 100$ before the previous bubble. Much more fiat is needed to fuel the rise. You can see it as 5x more people is needed to be aware of it all. I doubt there is 5x more people in cryptos now than there were in October 2013.
  • Remember, previous Bitcoin bubble was fuelled mostly by Mt.Gox failure (someone artificially made USD credit on their site and was constantly buying) + "China is coming" effect. Those were 2 big (positive) circumstances, and it was pure luck for Bitcoin's price, so it wasn't too much about the real demand, it was about stealing and speculator's game.
  • Too many altcoin parasites which are dispersing energy (and money). Actually I realised maybe even it would be better for worldwide economy that Bitcoin stayed closed source, forged in honest very small community of most advanced developers.
  • Big holders may decide that they exit the game and effectively kill the price to the ground. Specially, I am affraid of 1 mil BTC owned by Satoshi. Would be good for Bitcoin if he is not among us anymore so the private keys are lost Wink

Sadly, I realize Bitcoin is "liberalist wet dream", but can easiliy failed one. Combination of ignorant mass which is easily manipulated + interests of elite that is state and banksters, and I see it may really stay on the margin of worldwide economy, say it takes only about 10-20% of electronic payments and money transfers worldwide. That's not a win, that is huge fail compared to what we were thinking it may become.

So I played the Devil's advocate this time, and ask me what do I think about alts? Right now, they're fuckin' dead, including "silver to bitcoin's gold". Only chance for them is to rise along with Bitcoin. Astronomic rise of Darkcoin was not the healthy demand by the masses for spending it, it was speculator's game. After the initial boom and crash, we will see a slow decline, every fairly successful altcoin has the same history and future: One bubble and then the second one purely dependent on Bitcoin.

That was just my analysis and discussion is welcome. I just don't wanna hear I'm trolling or fudding, believe me I'm the one who was tirelessly promoting the whole story from the early days of 2012, and I made quite bucks out from it, but I'm starting to think the "golden age" of cryptos is over.

Community is not focused and I doubt we can heal the economy and win the war this way.
710  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [RFC] æthereum: a turing-complete coin distributed as per bitcoin's blockchain on: August 15, 2014, 09:10:50 AM
Nonsense.  The developers give their permission for the code to be modified or cloned when they open-source it.  

As far as I see this is not about modifying but just cloning and tweaking few config params.

I'm sure in one - unity spirit is weak. Every geek wants its own crypto by copying other's work. It's shameless and parasitic. That will not bring us victory over banksters tyranny.

Come on - unique but based on same source code. That's what I call nonsense.
711  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [RFC] æthereum: a turing-complete coin distributed as per bitcoin's blockchain on: August 15, 2014, 05:45:28 AM
Vitalik should close the code for 2 years so you parasites don't get it.
712  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [RFC] æthereum: a turing-complete coin distributed as per bitcoin's blockchain on: August 15, 2014, 05:44:23 AM
2.  This sounds like Ethereum.  Is it the same thing?
No, æthereum is unique.  
3.  In what ways is æthereum the same as Ethereum?
æthereum is functionally equivalent to Ethereum.  They are both based on the same source code.  

This is fuckin' shameless bullshit, come on do you own a piece of moral in your head?
713  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you spending or hodling? on: August 12, 2014, 03:39:15 PM
But those who just hold are doing nothing to further the Bitcoin economy, and are thereby reducing the chance their their "HODLINGS" will go up in value.

No. Those that are holding are helping the price go up, making the hype, expensive Bitcoin is the best way of promotion right now, not the merchant adoption.
714  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would you store >100 Bitcoins? on: August 10, 2014, 07:51:26 PM
1) Linux
2) Electrum Bitcoin wallet
3) strong password for spending them
4) regular wallet backup on 2 remote locations.

That's really enough.
715  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC is CIA/NSA etc. project... what is the newest info supporting this? on: August 10, 2014, 07:59:49 AM
If Bitcoin was NSA's job I do think I do think USA and other countries would do much more things in favor of Bitcoin.

717  Economy / Speculation / Re: How high will the next bubble go? on: August 09, 2014, 09:31:06 AM
Probably around 4-5k. It's not the same as previous bubbles, much more fiat is needed to fuel it.
718  Economy / Speculation / Re: How much of your earning you are converting to BTC? on: August 07, 2014, 05:05:51 PM
you're not crazy. 2 years ago i converted 100% to btc and you guess didn't regret that at all. bitcoin is financial/economic worldwide revolution that is still at the beginning.

720  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin = political? on: August 05, 2014, 06:12:36 PM
BTC has no political ideology, calling it libertarian is like calling a vacuum cleaner an anarcho syndicalist

BTC is pure political ideology. It's actually the first real money on Earth.
