@gembitz. Agreed. Anyone can already determine their scam right from the very beginning. Giving this a chance would be stupid, I reckon hehehe.

They should propose their ICO to bcash because its big blocks might need block compression that they might want to hype hehe.

Carlton Banks is correct. The fools of the market will return and increase overtime. Also, those new increased fools pumping are what will give the bagholders the chance to dump their scamcoins hehehe.

@JollyGood. What do have versus Betking? Bitdice is another gambling site that collected bitcoins from the community through their unaudited ICO but you say nothing against them.

In any case, why is the Betking ICO a scam and Bitdice's ICO not?

I never heard of Bitdice ICO and until or unless I decide to visit their thread to see what is going on I cannot comment.

About Betking, I was on their thread during the ICO asking Dean Nolan why he needed an ICO if he was already a millionaire as he claimed. I read all the nonsense that he wrote and did not buy in to it. The bounty participants were jumping all over anybody trying to silence them that were asking questions about the Betking tokens that were to be given in the ICO. In the end many people say that the whole ICO was designed to make Dean Nolan the owner and operator of Betking a millionaire because it seems he tried on several occasions to sell the website but failed.

The Betking tokens are almost useless as they are worthless. Investors have made a loss on their investment while Dean Nolan has never accounted where the funds are and how they were spent. My personal opinions do not matter but people are calling Beting and Dean Nolan scam and scammer.

It is a fair undertaking for you to let the public know to make them more careful. But once you do this, you should also start doing it on the other ICOs. Your next mission impossible should be on bitdice if you choose to accept it hehehe.

Les Pristy will not release any information unless there is a working prototype, I reckon. I hope he makes the hardware specifications opensource so other engineers can contribute and make its development faster.

@Juggy777. Watch it on the Talking Thrones channel in youtube, each spoiler leak is made per episode. If in season 8 the leaks' stories are similar to the first episode of the series, then we can assume that those leaks are not fake.

It would also be enjoyable to discuss the leaks in conmection to the odds of who rules in the end hehehe.
7806  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: August 20, 2018, 02:33:47 AM
All my buy orders from 10,000 satoshis to 15,000 satoshis were closed and confirmed hehehe. I hope some of you are taking this chance before the release of Les Pristy's radio mesh network project. Aeon has the blocks that are light enough to broadcast through radio. Monero does not.
7807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Game of Thrones - Who will rule? Odds and betting discussion [Odds updated!] on: August 20, 2018, 01:55:59 AM
There are new leaks from season 8 shared in Talking Thrones' channel in youtube.com. If you do not like spoilers then avoid it, but I reckon it's fake. Watching it might not spoil anything.

In any case, I watched all of it, and the ending might not win the bettors, of who rules the 7 kingdoms, any money hehehe.
7808  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-08-15] New Transport Layer bloXroute Promises to Solve Bitcoin’s Biggest P on: August 20, 2018, 01:29:07 AM
I get what they are trying to do, but I am saying that we should not discount any "alternative" thinking if it can add some kind of value. I hate the gigabyte Block size part of their solution, because that is similar to beating a dead horse, but the compression of the data got my attention, because it can be beneficial if someone could run with that idea.

In the end, nothing will be added without consensus, so we should not fear alternative ideas.  Wink  

So let me get this straight.

They have an untenable idea - not by opinion, but on technical merit. And we should still listen to them because.... reasons?

I don't understand that argument. "Give them a chance" only works when you have an idea that isn't a pile of garbage to begin with.

Why are you so hostile and frustrated with my observation? I am just saying, these are a bunch of student with some strange ideas and this should not be simply disregarded as being rubbish. I have done my fair share of education and training and we appreciated every little bit of innovation that people brought to the table.

We did not disregard inputs as rubbish, but rather debated why it would not work and how they could improve on the idea or suggestion. You will be amazed by the response when you support someone with a bad idea, because they are challenged to improve and before you know it, this bad idea, turns into something amazing.

The "compression" of the data looked interesting, but they have to do more research on other solutions that are already out there and also the "restrictions" on Block size scaling methods.

Just calm down and see the bigger picture here. People are trying to improve Bitcoin and some people are just cutting them to pieces.  Angry

He was not hostile to you, he was hostile to the idea and how stupid for the bloXroute team to plan to make the community fund their idea without assurances for success.

Also, is there compression idea really good? Do you think it will work?

@sworegino. I reckon it would take a very unexpected and miraculous development for McLaren to reach its former high status in the sport again.

Do you see where Williams is? That is where McLaren can go hehehe.

I reckon it should be easy for a legendary member in the forum like Kakmakr to know that bloXroute is a bad idea on first sight.

Also, why did the Bitcoinist waste their time by giving them the publicity.

@gentlemand. They laugh on the Winklevoss brothers now but they have the chance to be one of first trillionaires in the world.

I reckon there were many dreamers in the past that had the imagination to change the world but they were ridiculed because they were not understood.
7813  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-08-14] - Reports: India’s Crypto Regulations Delayed, Government Considers on: August 17, 2018, 11:31:39 PM
There was already news about India delaying any regulatory decisions about bitcoin and the cryptospace, is this the same news or is this the second delay.

I reckon they are slowly learning that they cannot regulate bitcoin without starting bad precedents hehehe.

@Kakmakr. Using all of your years of following the cryptospace, do you reckon that bloXroute labs white paper is a good idea on first look?

Also, there were 3 letters in the white paper that shows it might be a scam. I C O hehehe.
7815  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-08-15] New Transport Layer bloXroute Promises to Solve Bitcoin’s Biggest P on: August 16, 2018, 11:02:37 PM
Christ, when I thought I've seen everything.

First, they are putting an ICO out there for their funding - great, just what we needed, another shit-token for raising funds.

Second, they have the following in their whitepaper:

Quote
"To  achieve  scalability, bloXroute utilizes  (i) system-wide caching that enables faster propagation and Gigabyte-
size blocks
, and (ii) cut-through routing that enables swift and efficient transmission of blocks through the network."

"In essence, bloXroute implements and provides an efficient broadcast primitive to the blockchain nodes, via a network
of Gateways, making them operate as if they are on the same Local Area Network, while in reality they might be residing at
opposite parts of the globe."

They are comparing it to a "broadcast" network model, which doesn't scale worth a shit. And what the fuck is up with that GIGABYTE SIZED BLOCK shit?

Oh, there's more of this shit sandwich:

Quote
"Cryptocurrencies require no protocol change beyond adjusting the block size and inter-block time interval to fully utilize bloXroute’s capacity."

OH? Is that all? You just want us to increase the blocksize and change the confirm rate? Gosh golly gee, where did these people come from -- have they not paid attention
to what is going on in the cryptocurrency space for the last fucking YEAR or so?

Here's a great article why the stupid shit mentioned in bloXroute's whitepaper isn't going to work - broadcast vs unicast -- https://medium.com/@melik_87377/lightning-network-enables-unicast-transactions-in-bitcoin-lightning-is-bitcoins-tcp-ip-stack-8ec1d42c14f5

You've got to be fucking kidding me with this BLOXCRAP bullshit.

Oh, and Jgilpulg -- posting that huge image was a good tip-off that this thing was a piece of shit too.




Thank you for the whitepaper review. It was not that hard for you to notice that it was a scam I presume hehehe.

In any case, I want to know why the bitcoinist printed that scam, who requested them to and also if they were paid to.
7816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: August 16, 2018, 02:40:21 AM
@Juggy777. I reckon 1 of these 3. Carlos Sainz, Pierre Gasly or Brendon Hartley. But for me, I want Carlos Sainz to drive beside Max. He is the most ready and has the most experience if compared to the 2 Toro Rosso drivers.

But Carlos Sainz is set to replace Fernando Alonso in McLaren, according to some articles hehehe.
7817  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-08-15] New Transport Layer bloXroute Promises to Solve Bitcoin’s Biggest P on: August 16, 2018, 02:25:33 AM
@Kprawn. I reckon it might be offchain but it will not be like the Lightning Network. bloxRoute proposes a new compression idea and have compressed blocks be sent using another transport layer underneath the blockchain.

There is a whitepaper mentioned in the article.

https://bloxroute.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bloXroute-whitepaper.pdf

Can a qualified person read and analyze that and share his thoughts?

@everyone. Bill Harris is no one in the cryptospace and in the internet payments industry. He is also known be the person who quit Paypal 2 months later after the merger with an online bank because he did not see a bright future ahead of internet payments.

He knows nothing.

@LesPristy. The radio wave mesh network project? Do you have working prototypes? Showing a screenshot of them would be appreciated, thank you hehehe.

Also, when is your estimated time of release? I know this might only be your hobby, but give us the worst estimate when.
7820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: August 15, 2018, 01:31:39 AM
@LTU_btc. Agreed. He took the risk and the idealistic move by driving for McLaren, and tried to rebuild the team to get a championship, the same as what he did for Renault where he won 2 championships. I will miss him. This sport will be reduced without him.
