This is indeed a general altcoin discussion thread, the sheer numbers of trolls and FUDing can guarantee you that!

Maybe we should make an "aesthetic" change to [NEWS], [UPD], [UPG] but then again maybe not, because I find it a bit strange that Crestington did't pay attention to similar threads in the top 5 pages, dating back to 2013 and yet he speaks about "bad precedent" and "special treatment" to BitShares.


I'm sad, I hear what you are saying and I disagree. You should always think about the why and how to look into future past, what you say makes no sense whatsoever.

It looks like something like this could be used as a type of sidechain project, could you make a wallet that could connect to 50 Blockchains? You could make all payments by best price among a basket.
803  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Acedemic paper on an objective look into blockchain forks due to bad actors on: July 10, 2015, 05:24:02 AM
Thank you for the compliments!


Maybe someone who reads this who also updates the Bitcoin/Litcoin wiki's would be so kind as to insert this into them Smiley. I would love to see more discussions around topics such as this that may become taboo, because we can only grow as a community when we have logical and objective discussions devoid of emotions. We also need more academic papers as well, personally im sick of hearing the term "white paper" Wink.

Oh man tell me about it, most "white papers" actually say nothing about the tech itself and how it functions and nothing more than glorified adverts. I've seen maybe under 10 papers but they are also hard to grasp in some areas so lots of people would not want to read a 30 page long whitepaper and not understand it.

If you can change the rules along the way, then why bother with something complex? If it's a clone then the whitepapers of the underlying tech could be referenced. I think you can just change the rules if you have consensus such as if the most active people in the Litecoin community would get together and recommend a change.

As far as I know, in order to block addresses you just need over 51% of the hashing but also updates to exchanges as well??

people, that is why nxt is below bts in marketcap because of shills like ^^.. Btw you have something green on your nose there.

I like that you think that I think Bitshares is bad, I don't think I can recall mentioning Nxt.
805  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is this beginning of a schism, LTC = China's coin, BTC = the West? on: July 10, 2015, 04:44:04 AM
I wouldn't mind a schism like this.. And I guess I would join the LTC camp Wink Not only because I hold more LTC than BTC (who doesn't?), but China will set the markets very very soon..

If they take NMC with them as well, that would be even better.

If China is pumping money into Crypto it would not be a bad thing at all, get to dump some of your bags and they get a piece of the pie too? I've met lots of nice Chinese people and they are good at math and karaoke.

Could hire some "keep wabour" and when India gets in you can outsource your customer service too.
806  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do I split up blocksize? (pos coins) on: July 10, 2015, 03:39:18 AM
What would you use on bitbean?

Bitbean is 1000 Coins per Block right?

What is it's current money supply? it's minimum age and maximum age? Does it have some kind of block splitting? What is it's default split and combine thresholds?

supply 800million.. 75% of coins are staking 6hr min no max.. no block splitting.. default is around 10,000

I think I would have 20-30k Blocks all the way down to 500-1000 Coins per Block with about 80% between 20k and 30k, 15% between 10-20k and 5% under 10k.
807  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BitShares 2.0 on: July 10, 2015, 03:18:21 AM
Well, we did announce an upgrade to our "altcoin" here.

Since then, we've been using this thread as a place to inform and discuss everything about what we've got going on.

So do you judge the thread by the OP title or the Sum of all Posts collectively?

Seems like a classic  "Altcoin Discussion" to me...  Smiley


Yeah but you have like 10 threads and it's title names it as an announcement thread when there is an announcement section for official announcers. Does the title itself set a bad precedent?
808  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Scrypt.CC | Scrypt Cloud Mining on: July 10, 2015, 03:03:19 AM
need to change PIN number on site and waiting to address ticket from a weeks now

seem if you put in a red bold font your request would be addressed so trying luck now

well i didnt put in RED font so my tickets will get erased from site. i put in RED font to address the issue. instead of replying or fixing the problem you guys just erased all my tickets. so this time it would be in GREEN bold font

If you add in some BLUE font then you have all the PRIMARY colors and soon you have a majestic rainbow to the pot of GOLD.

You may find some of the information you are looking for at the following links:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/trust/#!crypto
http://trust.blockexplorer.cc/chain/TrustPlus

Ok, then it also looks like all Coins were mined in the first Blocks so where did I hear about being a fork of PayCoin? How long ago was the OP updated? It looks like they added in all the information I talked about. Where was it that I read that the premine was in fact 30 million? 120 Coins per Block for 3 days is 777,000 Coins, but 12800 Blocks is 6 days of mining? and 12800 Blocks at 120 Coins per Block would yield about 1.1-1.3 million Coins, why is the money supply at 31.5 mil then? that means the premine is 30 mil?

I really enjoyed the read and thought it did a great job of trying to be impartial on the subject. I liked how it looks at examples in a constructive way and makes the information easy to understand for people who are less computer literate. Great job!

I think it would be cool if you had some kind of wiki for forking and extend the subject, maybe with some up or down voting?
811  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BitShares 2.0 on: July 10, 2015, 01:02:58 AM
Shouldn't this belong in the Announcement section? Does Bitshares get preferential treatment?
812  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Scrypt.CC | Scrypt Cloud Mining on: July 10, 2015, 12:20:33 AM
Just a crazy though

Let's imagine that Scrypt.cc is not a scam and it is just as admin says. Could it be that the big LTC price raise recently is due to scryptcc mining and holding the LTC mined (instead of selling for BTC as it used to do before the hack)?

I know, I know many of you are very smart and say it is a scam. But just imagine it was not. Would that be a explanation of LTC price raise?

Just want to know your opinion, I am a newbie to all this.

In that case, the 850 GHS would be about 75% of the Litecoin hashrate (https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/difficulty currently at 1.22 THS) and then the price of LTC would crash anyways because one entity could double spend and fork the network at will and make LTC useless as a currency.

You can check out distribution of hashrate by mining pools here https://www.litecoinpool.org/pools

Checked that over two weeks ago ... but I said "let's imagine is not a scam"-

I do not understand that of "double spend and fork" (as I said, I am a newbie) but I get to understand that would be a try to destroy the coin. So it does not suppose good intentions on that person, plus it would be stupid if he is the one interested in that the coin keeps or raises its value.

Let me clarify: Let's imagine ALL that Marcelo says is true and attribute to him the best intentions. Lets say he is mining other coins in addition to litecoin, lets say he is not a scammer but a legit person, and he is using 60% of the alleged 850 ghs hashpower to mine right now (as there are still rewards for the users, not all rewards has been taken away). For the sake of this "imagination", let's say he is mining LTC with only 400 GHS and holding them either fully or partially.

Could it be (in this very hipotetic fantasy scenario) that was the reason for the price raise?

And here is an article written by a few of the Litecoin Community members about what a hardfork is, and information about 51% attacks released today (less than an hour ago). I highly recommend reading it to help gain a bit of a better understanding about Blockchain consensus.

I did see the "lets imagine for a moment it's not a scam" but could not find anything in which could counter it.

About "double spend and fork", if you have control over more hashrate than the rest of the network you will always be mining the majority of the Blocks in which case you can send a transaction to exchanges and then mine your own chain and reverse that transaction and the network will accept it because your hashrate is more than the rest of the network and will continue to be more because you outmine everyone else.

Let's say for the last month Scamelo was mining with 400 GHS, that would be 33% of all Blocks on the Litecoin network over the last 30 days, LiteCoin reward is 50 Coins per Block at 2.5 minute intervals which would mean he would have mined approximately 285,000 LiteCoin in the last 30 days and with an approximate value currently of $7 per Coin, that would equate to $2 million USD worth of LTC, or approximately 7500 BTC.

The mention before was also that it was 500 GHS mining with 350 GHS in reserve not mining, if mining with 500 GHS it would be approximately 2.5 million USD, with 850 GHS it would be 4.25 mil USD but then we come into the same question about 51% attacks.

That 400, 500 or even 850 GHS could not be hidden on the network, their mining operation would be so massive they would need their own hydro-electric dam and a facility the size of a city block. It's supposedly in Brazil which in case would require a lot of extra cooling so it isn't melting the miners, the extra cooling alone would make the mining un-competitive even if you negate the fact that Brazil has a base energy cost 2-3 times higher than developed countries like US, Canada and most every European country.

Block Halving

Block halving for LTC is in just over a month http://www.litecoinblockhalf.com/ and expected to occur August 25th, 2015, that would be the primary driver for the increase in price over the last month along with the recent debates over Block sizes and fees for Bitcoin.

Hello gues!!! It's my first post here.Sorry for my bed english.I've always been a FAN of this site,but now i want to say: Marselo Santos is BIG and  SMART LIER.If he have 850 Ghs,In  the last two weeks,after LTC price pupm,he received "his loses" several times+deposits.And what is bulshit: "Our chatbox is currently down due to some errors on the new server".Yea,"some errors" ,afrer some questions about rewards!!!!
So I suggest: DONT SEND YOUR MONEY TO MARSELO SANTOS.DONT DO DEPOSITS until he turn on real rewards.
One word about rewards.After LTC realy  big pump,i think reward should be not less than 20 sat per Khs

This is why there are so many people warning not to invest, because there is no real mining so it's only measure or rewards relies on deposits of new users funds. If there is a large increase in price of LTC the rewards can't increase because there is no actual mining so you don't receive any benefit of an increase in the LTC price.

My biggest advice to you since you are new to these forums is not to get excited and jump legs first into anything. Take your time and research, do yourself a favor and give a minimum of one month, read everything you can possibly find on any coin or service and do not be afraid to ask questions. If you own LTC at the moment, it has increased quite a bit over the last month (about 500%) and pumps like that are a normal routine but be weary of being caught at the top and holding Coins for long periods afterwards until it rises again to the point at which you can finally sell at a profit (not all eggs in one basket, not all that glitters is gold).

819  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: scrypt.cc is provably lying about their 850GH/s Scrypt mining on: July 09, 2015, 08:33:05 PM
Julia is not a woman and is scrypt.cc's shill. Watch out.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=519697;sa=showPosts

Julia's posts only began on Scrypt.cc with a couple posts on another cloudmining topic as well http://ore-mine.org/ which is also another suspicious site with no ssl certs and claiming to have over 100,000 users. Like Scrypt.cc, this ore-mine site also has no proof of mining and no transparency.

Put your money into another persons pocket and hope they will be generous enough to provide you with some scraps, this seems to be the aim of the game. Ore-mine seems to be unaffiliated with scrypt.cc and not really about mining at all but more or less a Ponzi-game, the user "Sector" who runs the ore-mine site promotes it a bit as a virtual mining site, even though it doesn't seem like there is any actual mining going on..
