781  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 79% Of Consumers Would Never Consider Using Alternative Currency Like Bitcoin on: February 06, 2014, 05:54:56 AM
You mean like how 90% make earned income and only 10% make their money from capital gains.


So 90% of workers would never make money using capital gains?

Anyone already suggested http://poloniex.com to list Potcoin? they're already listing many alt coins, and the site has been fast/responsive so far.

(no it's not an advertisement)

i dont see any contact info anywhere.  any ideas?


From their website:
Quote
How can I get such-and-such coin listed on Poloniex?
Send us an email and tell us about your coin. There is no set of rules, but we like to see evidence of the developers' dedication to the project, community interest, and, more than anything, innovation. If your coin is truly innovative in some way, it is more or less guaranteed to be accepted by Poloniex.

How can I contact support?
Send us an email at poloniex@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please provide all relevant information and send your email from the address you're using for your Poloniex username.

So I guess we want to E-mail poloniex@gmail.com and ask them to accept it.  If we started all E-mailing them to do this I'm sure it would make a big difference.

Great ... i didnt realize that they posted their email..


Edit: ohhh i thought they had a thread at bitcointalk,, oops




Tread carefully.. they are but a month old at best.

I'm really sorry to say this, but it seems that our security system wasn't enough.
Just now i received a message from someone that he has hacked our exchange, and if we want to stop this, we have to pay 10 BTC. Obviously, we are not going to pay our users' money, and we temporarily closed the exchange. We have made an secutity audit to see what's missing, and found ~1200 LTC stolen (nearly 40% of all LTC),  nearly ~50% of LEAFcoins, and ~20% NYANcoins. All other currencies remained nearly unchanged.
Just now we deciding what refund can we make (dev team has nearly 200 LTC on their own, and i can give up some too). We will make a message after we have an agreement. We will 100% refund all other (not-leaf, nyan or LTC) currencies, and try to refund as much ltc as we can.
As i see, it was sql-injection, but it doesn't helped him much - all passwords are stored as hashed ones. So he just brute-forced all low-security passwords to steal their money. So if you haven't got email auth - it is possible that your account was just jacked.

I also have possible ideas about openex malware in source code, but without proofs i can't do anything.

had 650POT in there.. hopefully you guys didnt have much either... going to try get that back :/


Sorry to hear that dave!

I hope you get funds back.


One a side note..
Bitember came back online! Glad to see they made it through the storm!

Hey all Smiley

We have launched our pool a few days ago at http://pot.minermob.com

We wanted to invite you all to come see our new awesome CUSTOM layout, and enjoy all the benefits associated Smiley

Low reject ratios, low block found %'s, and high efficiency!

bring in the HASH power ladies and gents Wink

I signed up right when you made the announcment on reddit to so i could get the 0% fee for the first 50 users like you said and there was like 10 or 11 people mining total when i logged in so im sure i made it but now when i got back to your site after seeing you here... your website is different and my login that previously worked does not! I tried to reach out in IRC but its cricket's in there..

Whats up with that?

I have been off the thread for a while but still have been very active with networking with new dispensary owners in MA to use cryptocurrency integrated within their POS systems. 20 dispensaries just got the final approval to open in this state and many will be opened within 6 months. Still trying to find ways to best get POTCOIN within the dispensaries. One of the many ways is to introduce this as a rewards based system that the shop owners give out to the customers as a donation. The dispensaries would hold onto a large amount that they acquire from a mix of donations and purchasing from the open market.

This coin has a lot of potential, big whales do not waste power costs on mining a coin they think will have no value in the near future.. I expect this coin to be dumped hard once it hits an exchange like Cryptsy. However,  supply and demand curve will quickly shift when the cannabis industry wants to use a new cheap cryptocurrency within their business model. Hold on for a good ride, or sell off to soon and hope you have a chance to buy back.

Bitember gave me 0 fees indefinitely so its sucks to see em go! Any official word?


Pot is fantastic. But I think you have to be stoned to think this coin is going to be a success.



I think its the opposite! I think the coin has the potential to be really successful ..

There are some adoption hurdles but nothing time cant fix.

If you want to pass somekind of judgement can you wait until the official launch date?..  By then im sure we will have a fud section.. It will be right next to the marijuana vs corn thread.

Ogres has 91%?

Why didnt they close registrations!?




Guys - we don't have 91%. When we moved rebuilt/moved the server after the DDOS it was incorrectly reporting hashrates. It has since corrected itself. We are by far not the biggest Potcoin pool.


Thanks for chiming in!! Appreciate it!

I may go check chunky out... im currently giving fuse a shot again.

pot.ogres is down

Yep we are being DDoS'ed at the moment. We have been sitting stable at around 10% of the network hashrate since a couple of days after launch. Not sure why some douchebag wants to target a smaller pool.

Anyway we are working with our hosting provider to get back up and running. In the meantime everyone's coins are safe. I would encourage everyone to use one of the smaller pools as a backup until we are back up and running.

Sorry about the downtime - I am as pissed off as anyone that some lowlife wants to try and monopolize the network.

-Michael

By my count, that's 4 pot pools who have been targeted:
scryptominers
bitember
criptoe
ogres

I've been dealing with DDoS almost non stop for the past few days.

If it's not DDoS they are flooding the stratum ports. It's beyond frustrating.

Man that sucks SCryptoMiners! I have been at bitember from the start.. They recovered well from the other attacks so im hoping they come alive here soon and reroute the bad traffic into a black hole.

Hopefully you guys are up.. im currently pool hunting .. may come check you out!

Correct me if im wrong .. Cryptsy is in Florida?

I can think of a really good reason why POT is not "on" yet!

Hopefully Floridians go can vote..


This has nothing to do with the legal status of MMJ in Florida.  It has to do with an internet coin that uses the name.  We're not trading drugs.

potcoins are a crypto currency whos sole purpose is to be the default currency for "medical marijuana" where it is legal! i think the legalitys of it all is very relavant.



From potcoins.info (about page )

PotCoin was designed to empower, secure and facilitate the Cannabis community's daily transactions. The now legalized Marijuana industry is calling out for its own distinct crypto-currency - PotCoin effectively forms a global community with each coin holder a participant anchored in this new economy. On every level of the Cannabis industry users can trust PotCoin to lend credibility and security this exponentially growing community. We are here to give our full support in all ways possible to this incredible industry and build this community together

So no we are not trading drugs but we are using a currency whos sole purpose is too facilitate the cannibus industry which is only legal in some places.. one of which "maybe" florida after the coming elections.. and hence the reason i brought it up!

They don't specify what the coin is used for. The cannabis industry isn't restricted to dispensaries/the actual drug.


Try convincing a judge that..

If you are some flyby night russian exchange you dont have to consider that but if you are in the states and you want to operate above board which i think Cryptsy does..   You must consider the legal implications. There is a grey area there.


 

You'd have to be very naive to think Craptsy is anywhere near a legitimate exchange.  Their servers are never running properly, people constantly have deposits and orders stuck, plus there was even the bug which allowed you to withdraw into negative funds.  I have a lot more faith in BTC-e which actually operates with a little integrity.  Cryptsy adds any and every coin because they desperate to soak up everything they can while their scam still runs.  Has anyone even been to craptsy before?  I mean I've actually been to Vault of Satoshi and they have a huge operation compared to them and have such less volume.  I'm all for going to bigger exchanges but crypsty is not any place I would trust with my Potcoin.


Cryptsy has there share of problems.. but i bet they are still here in 1 year from now... You dont see anyone saying go vote at the vault of satoshi or btc-e for POT do you? Not to say they arent ok exchanges, especially btc-e, ive had a good experience there. But thats besides the point, Cryptsy has made a home for itself in the Alt coin world and they have somewhat of a following.. Most have a love and hate feeling about them but go in any alt coin thread and you will find "go vote for us on Crypsty" ..

My thoughts are that people who run exchanges may hesitant to accept a new coin that is related to something illegal in certain states or countries..

cryptsy is based in the united states.

So have you even talked to BigVern about listing it?  That's the first step.

Yes, cryptsy is based in the US... the one country right now that is experiencing a BOOM in marijuana legalization and industry growth.  Companies like GrowLife (stock: PHOT) shot up in price on January 1st, mostly due to the legalization of recreational use in Colorado and Washington.  There's no reason to not approach BigVern with the proposal to list POT.  He's a businessman, he'll see the potential for growth.  After all, you're not promoting black-market sales and illegal transactions using this currency(I'm looking at you Dopecoin), you're promoting a coin that can be used by an industry that is experiencing it's golden age right now.
