Even more unfounded attacks against US motives are taken as facts by those wishing they can picture themselves 'standing up to the man'.

Meanwhile, you hear stunned silence and cautious excuses when china outright bans bitcoin and other nations take immeasurable efforts to actively oppress and destroy bitcoin infrastructures by strangling exchanges with open government interventions.

Yet appealing to your petulant habits of bitching at US is still an effective way to make you feel better as those with ulterior motives continue to string you along, while you are completely powerless to stop them - because you have little problem moaning and squealing about the 'ebil US' while not having the balls to stand up even vocally against other who couldn't give two shits about some spoiled sensitivities of pampered children.

May I remind you dumb fools that US has currently the largest market and business activities concerning crypto currency and has cautious examined crypto in order to consider how it may be presented to the mainstream financial markets, instead of throwing a bitch fit like china and start banning exchange deposits while spouting nonsense about 'foreign trick to drain china of capital'?

Being around the crypto scene should be about crypto - not about some half-baked pseudo intellectual circle jerk on 'standing up to the man' by those who fictitiously create an easy target for themselves while clearly lacking any initiative to act against those who would happily put you in your place should you misjudge your own capabilities.

Some really pathetic shit...
745  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NobleCoin[NOBL] - **NOBL/$USD@VoS**MARKETPLACE/BULLION**50 CHARITIES/MERCHANTS** on: May 22, 2014, 02:41:59 AM
This scene is going to change, fast, perhaps for the worst before the better. So I'm going to share a little 'secret' with you guys. In order to protect NOBL in any worst case scenario we are going to be releasing a number of 'partner' coins, all under the Noble brand. We are going to have a Proof of Stake coin, a 'cut supply' coin, a SHA coin. We are going to look into the right time for merge-mining, which might be now, because mark my words when I said in the PDF merge-mining or a new revolutionary mining method is going to become mandatory.

We are going to back these coins with the infrastructure we've built, tie them directly to gold (at prices beneath spot with deals ranging between 12% and 25%), and ensure that they are supported by a team that we've worked hard to prove can be trusted to continue on with cryptocurrency for better or for worst. All are going to be Noble, all are going to be related to charity, Steps, the marketplace, our crypto vision, community, infrastructure and backed by the same team. This team is going to become larger and a registered Australian business, that acts to promote and support Noble and cryptocurrency but never on an 'official/Foundational' level.

Each of these coins will be an 'IPO', for lack of a better word, in NOBL. You only have to show proof of holdings, and you'll get an equivalent % supply of each new technology partnered with Noble. This won't dilute us, because it will be offering completely different technical preferences that wouldn't work together in a single coin, that you can trade or hold depending on your personal tastes.

I have also been looking hard at CryptoNote (https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf) on the side, and will most probably be working to release a ring-signature privacy-centric coin alongside these 'Noble' branded coins.

We can blame ASICs or GPU farms, they are both just as capable so it's a moot point, and NOBL is more secure than most. I'm not going to cause a panic, instead try to convince anyone here or looking to get involved that if you really want a long-term coin that understands this scene more than most will let on and will work to pull through anything that we're worth holding. Anyone that wants to argue the maths and technicalities with me over how a PoS like BC is secure because it doesn't have mining I will personally ensure is put in their place with the new 'State of Alternative Crypto', because it is a marketing trick designed to 'kill' PoW coins. *Apologies, by this I meant they have their own vulnerabilites just like PoW, they are not immune. We do however see the value in 'investment' coins that don't require huge electricity/hash costs.*

I didn't really want to share this too openly until it was 100% ready, instead just post obvious hints, because it takes time, has to be thought out and is a game-changer. 95% of coins don't make it nor intend to make it to 5 months with the original team so they don't need to worry about long-term survival, but we're not going anywhere. But I need to release news to keep people confident in a market that has lost most of its confidence.

In the meantime, a lot of information about a lot of coins will probably start coming to light. Initially it will be on the exchanges to ensure they can better accomodate being taken advantage of, then it will be up to everyone involved in this sickening scene how we intend to take cryptocurrency forward.

Cheers..
Jason


Noble is like a box of chocolates.

Instead of chocolates you get a box full of condoms for the next party.

Such rapid price fluctuations by those looking for quick profit cannot stop noble in the long term.

However, it can cause some depression in prices in the short term, after this manipulator has taken his profits.

NobleCoin on AltOutlet

NOBL is now live and accepted on AltOutlet. Cheers guys Smiley

Just checked it. More silent, but solid Noble adoption. We are heading in a direction where few crypto has gone before.

Thank whatever powers that be we didn't go for cryptsy.

I think Japan will never collapse knowing their culture.  Japanese culture is collective.  If it ever gets that bad the individual sacrifice himself for the good of the collective

Because you never knew about what happened post war until US stepped in and the miracle of korean war happened. They were broken before, whether they like to admit it or not. Whether they want to or not.

Can anyone help me understand the logic behind the difficulty and hashrate getting so much higher for 2 days now and yet the price not changing?

People suppressing the price to buy more NOBL for cheaper... before a steady rise.

Little lower please


if you are looking to buy cheap, buy on coinex, under 30 satoshi.... then again, i guess coinex has been having some problems

I advise not to use coinex. Too risky.

Anyone here successfully got coins out of there?
752  Economy / Economics / Re: Which economy is more likely to crash sooner- Argentina or Japan? on: May 03, 2014, 10:42:24 PM
japan's government debt is huge, but its citizens have huge savings.
japan's Net international investment position (which is the amount of debt owed to the Japanese government and citizens by the world minus what they owe to the world) is huge, around 2.6 trillion USD.
https://www.boj.or.jp/en/research/brp/ron_2013/ron130808a.htm/
so the world owes alot of money to the Japanese.
the united states on the other hand has a Net international investment position of -$4.16 trillion, that is a debt of 4 TRILLION $ to the world by the government and citizens.
http://www.bea.gov/newsreleases/international/intinv/2013/intinv313.htm

so the Japanese government could in theory pay off its debt by taxing its citizens.
the United States has no way to pay back its debt as both its government and citizens owe huge amounts of money.




Those savings didn't save them from 20 years of stagnation, and they didn't prevent the economy from going into multiple recessions. If you think national and political economics work the same as personal one, you are sorely mistaken.

It's actually better to have the money flowing and building as it is in US. Eventually things find an equilibrium, and with appropriate innovation, raises the threshold. Saving that much as they do in japan may make individuals feel secure, but it's a delusional sense of security because economic growth favors those who innovate and take risks, not hold back and restrict.

Also, if you think 'net position' means the are some how in the black, then you are truly delusional. that money is not owed to the japs by the world. It's owed by the japanese government and banks to their own citizens. US can easily shorten and destroy the burden of its debt by political policies on foreign trade and exchanges, which is currently not favorable due to geopolitical climate - but that's a question of politics, not whether US is economically capable. Japs have no such leverage.

Also, why did you ignore the fact that world owes about 90% back to US for every dollar US owes them, with higher interest rates? Savings are not the only means of asset accumulation.

Remember: your analysis works like personal finance analysis. That's VERY flawed when trying to analyze national economics. If you think plus or minus being in the black is an indicator of good economy, than you must also be the type to think we always need to be in the surplus in terms of trade balance in order to have good economy.

Things are much more complex than that - and japan has no other leverage unlike US.
753  Economy / Economics / Re: Which economy is more likely to crash sooner- Argentina or Japan? on: May 03, 2014, 05:36:21 AM
Japan Debt to GDP has passed the point of no return.

The Japanese public debt is around 175% of the GDP. Not much higher from that of the US (120% of the GDP). And when compared to Argentina, the inflation rates are much lower. So I don't think that the Japanese economy will crash soon.

That is an old statistic - their debt is already passed 235% of their GDP. You are counting total US debts of 105% vs 'only' public debt of 175%, which is not only erroneous but outdated because you fail to count their total debt while counting total debt of US.

Also, out of that 235% GDP debt, 10% or so belongs to outsiders. They constantly try to comfort themselves that they own most of the debt, yet 10% of 235% is 23.5% of their entire GDP. In contrast, about 30% of US debt (105% vs. 235%. Funny how you think 50% difference between 120 and 175 is 'not much) is owed to outsiders, but remember that for every dollar owed to outsiders, world owes 0.89 dollars back. Now add the fact that US bonds are incredibly low yield, and those US collects debts from are higher yield by orders of magnitude.

Finally, dollar being the world's premiere reserve currency is not as fragile or small as people like to think. It's fairly stable and strong, and you can easily say that inflations of the world far outpaces that of US by many times over. US has a robust economy and its birthrates are actually reversing, and not all of them are due to minority immigration and birth rates - majority birth rate is also starting to make a come back since the 90s and people are having more kids.

Considering that, you need to know argentina has been making many improvements to its financial systems openly with many painful but necessary changes. That vs. jap's complete unwillingness  to admit to even the smallest mistakes in a really meaningful way means they are like a slowly sinking titanic. Also, the fact that their trade power was an aritifically created cold war construct to show case democratic financial system in the far east eludes most naive fools who think japs did it all on their own.

The correlation between when the jap economy began to really tank vs. the geopolitical changes of that time is too convenient to ignore, no matter how hard it is to swallow. There is a lot more going on in the background than people realize or see. Simply put, japs lost their value the moment soviet union fell.

While Argentina isn't exactly solid, they are at least trying. Japs are afraid to even look at the problem properly. Abenomics was an incredibly ignorant and foolish way to do anything, and didn't solve a damn thing in japan - in fact, their trade deficit is increasing, which is pretty much a death knell for a nation so dependent on trade. However, other nations such as US can more than depend on its political and economic power and domestic markets to at least maintain a bit of status quo. Right now, US printing money is hurting others because they have been taking advantage of cheaper exchange rates, but those cheating days are up - US basically put the foot down and forced them to pay back the back pay for all those benefits which it allowed previously due to geopolitical security climates. Case in point - US inflation rate has consistently stayed below 3%, more around 2% every year since the recession, while nations such as china who got rich off of exchange rates have and will continue to be haunted by incredible inflation to their food stuffs and basic economic necessities.

235% (probably higher now) and 23.5% of your GDP belonging to foreigners is, unlike for relatively big and self-sufficient economy such as US, a complete failure in a trade dependent nation like japan. They are finished, and have little chance to move any where even without any competition. Now count in the fact that rest of Asia is coming up fast behind them with china having already surpassed japan in economics long ago, and they have a very 'personal' stake in making japan economically and politically subservient.

They be fucked.

754  Economy / Economics / Re: How much control does the President truly have over the economy? on: May 03, 2014, 05:21:52 AM
Not as much as people blame/praise them for it. Certainly less than what the current president falsely promised he can do - or clearly on purpose implied he could do. "Let me be clear..."

But by liberal logic, bush was in complete control of the housing markets and obama is only being 'obstructed' by......everything else that is not their cup of tea.

I think your education can clearly tell you which conclusion is the more logical one. Just as you may not blame the current lack of significant progress fully on the empty suit, you cannot fully place blame on the previous downturn as brainchild of bush jr. Economics have a life of their own.

We are even now relatively a free market society. People who are just waking up to the intricacies of the weave between politics, money, and influence based institutions have no right to screech and wail that present system in US is something they can criticize - in other nations they are taken for granted that it is that corrupt.

President has small slice of the pie in terms of economic influence. His sphere of influence is mainly centered around soft influence in domestic matters + executive power of the state to command the armed forces and intelligence organs who can deliver the pain to those who need killing. Any further influence on economic spheres of influence can be considered 'extracurricular'.

Now if you were to discuss IF those 'extracurriculars' are actually like so in these times, that's another matter all together. But certainly in US president's main sphere of influence lies in areas of political and military control.

is this one big level or troll on bitcoin talk? i keep hearing about china messing wit the economy as a whole but how could they and where are the facts behind this theory?

Exploitation of african resources behind greasy lies about being 'brothers against imperialism' that would have made racially biased colonial regimes balk.

Complete invasion and cultural genocide of an entire nation whose population is muslim yet no pussy muslim wants to collectively fight the ones who don't give a rat's ass about human rights.

Pervasive exploitation of south east indochina nations for their territory and resources using state backed fundings and national political force. Coercion of those nations at the point of a gun yet too afraid to step in their territories after their shameful retreat after just one month in vietnam jungles back in 1979.

Racial and cultural colonialism that would have made hitler proud, yet covered in lies about 'brothers against colonialism'. Cowardice and resource exploitation that is just being recognized by african nations - after the chinese exploited the hell out of african workers.
