@theymos does an email get expired on gmx.com ?

I don't know.

Have u received previous mails from him ? Did he use to sign those ?

I did receive emails from him in 2010. He didn't sign them.

Maybe he was joking? @Michael, send me some coins before I hitman you.


Either he's joking, or it's been compromised like you said.

It's probably not a safe option to list individual coins, because it's almost impossible to predict what the future holds.  Coins mostly rise and fall based on the whims of whales and pump'n'dumpers, but sometimes also because of their features and general usefulness.  It's difficult to predict the former, but you can make sound judgements on the latter.  Most people are only going to recommend the coins they hold themselves, so bias can't really be avoided.  Just research the coins that seem to be getting a lot of attention and make sure they're getting attention for the right reasons.  Those are probably/maybe/potentially your safest bets.

If, on the other hand, you did just want people to list the coins they hold and haven't been made bagholder of yet, then BTSX, Monero, NXT and Qora.


Lets see what you people think.

My opinion is:
BTC
LTC

Among other coins, I think hal, neos. What do you think?



LTC is dying a slow death.

Coins with unique features and great dev teams such as XC and CLOAK would be my top choices. Not a speculation but a real deal.
BTCD and Black Coin are solid as well.

Slow death yet the volume is still higher than any other Altcoins.

Volume doesn't necessarily imply profit, though.  It can trade in huge quantities and still sink like a stone.

Volume has been huge daily for months if not years litecoin is on every major exchange in China.No other coin comes close.

Yes, I get that part.  But the OP said he wanted to invest in something to make money.  What I'm saying is that high volume won't necessarily make him a profit.  The price has been dropping steadily for a while now and there's little evidence to suggest that's likely to change in the near future.  Repeating the statement that it has high volume doesn't change that.  

So u buy high and sell low ? Litecoin is low right now great time to buy.Besides btc what coin do you think the Chinese will buy during the next rally.



It's ok DooMad, Eldude is a LTC bagholder.

Litecoin has Not been following Bitcoin's price trend. For ex: While Bitcoin rose to over $600 in May/June, Litecoin kept on falling in price.

Litecoin is/has been on a downtrend for most of it's life, because it's a Bitcoin Clone. There is no reason for Litecoin's price to go up at all since it offers nothing over bitcoin, and that's been shown by it's constant price fall.

Also, to those saying that the only thing Litecoin offers is security...you're wrong on that as well, Ixcoin's difficulty is 1billion higher than Litecoins, and it's hashrate is also higher, making Ixcoin the 2nd securest coin after Bitcoin.

So again, Litecoin has absolutely Nothing going for it.
825  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin is officially dead on: September 08, 2014, 01:49:10 AM
Litecoin and Dogecoin fill a niche market for purchasing coins with small values - Like a silver and bronze (copper?) to Bitcoin's gold.

This point is kind of weak... i mean you can buy a fraction of bitcoin and here you go.

Exactly, they fill no niche market. Maybe Dogecoin did since it was used as a tipping currency, but Litecoin is simply a Bitcoin clone aka the first shitcoin.

If drugs are not available in the first place then people would never get addicted.

Drug availability isn't the cause of drug addiction.  Drug addiction is just a symptom of other psychological issues.  Regardless of how good one's intentions may be, drug availability can't be eliminated by politicians declaring war on drugs.  The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

You are correct to say that not all users are addicts, but the majority of the drugs consumed are done so by addicts. This and many "hard" drugs more or less guarantee that people will get addicted and many people get addicted after using it just one time.

You've been exposed to far too much propaganda.

It's a valid point, but availability causes those with a propensity to become addicted to drug X, to become addicted to it.

But you're right to dismiss the other post. If you don't crave altered states, not even heroin will light your fire.

Drug addiction is complicated, and very rarely, if ever, a problem merely due to physical dependency (hardly any drugs are physically addictive).

Cigarettes, alcohol, benzos are the hardest to kick. Heroin is hardish. But they are the ones that give withdrawal.

The rest are only hard insofar as they are pleasurable for some people and they can't imagine life without them.



You're terribly misinformed. Using drugs(especially Heroin, Cocaine, Meth, etc etc) over a long period of time creates a dependency on them. Some countries even give long-term drug addicts free drugs, because the Physical withdrawal they'd receive if they stopped taking the drugs would kill them.

Some symptoms of withdrawal after short-term use include, anxiety or jumpiness; shakiness or trembling; sweating, nausea and vomiting; insomnia; depression; irritability; fatigue or loss of appetite and headaches.

Effects of withdrawal from Long-term use of heavy drugs can cause death.

This is true. You can get addicted to cocaine after using it just one time. Same with many other drugs. They ruin people's lives.

The war on drugs has ruined more lives than the drugs themselves.

That makes absolutely no sense.

If it was not for drug dealers then drug users would never be able to get ahold of drugs, nor would they have ever gotten into using illegal drugs. Also drug dealers will often take advantage of a person's addiction and do things like extend credit and give a discount to a person who is unable to pay to prevent them from potentially breaking their habit.

As if people that support the war on drugs really give a shit about drug addicts.

Drug addiction isn't the problem, it's just a symptom.  That's why trying to take away the supply won't eliminate the demand.  Only counseling and treatment can do that.

Furthermore, not all drug users are drug addicts.  Many are recreational users with no danger of becoming addicted.

Personally I love the fact that zoidberg chooses never to respond to allegations about his background in an eccentric genius sort of way, much to the chagrin of deceitful anonymous wannabe economists and PR reps of competing crypto currencies. I have also noticed that the coin mill guys never talk about BBR when they could have been easily pumping it, even if it was at their expense or only to rile and further their cause of stifling XMR.

David Latapie is not a scammer, but I wouldn't trust him with $5 or to understand bubble sort.
fluffypony sells mining rigs.
othe is a failed investor of some wannabe asic resistant coin.
eizh - he is a good guy. I will not attack him but even he knows he is a namesake and might not have known what he got into.
noodledoodle was decrippling MRO slow hash and has some knowledge of miners.
smooth - most disappointing to see how he has turned out in last 2 months. Maybe plays with some bias but I understand. Has limited knowledge of coding.

tacotime - only big exception and needs to be respected.


That team doesn't hold a candle to what zoidberg has achieved and how his work is now resonating throughout the world of crypto currencies. I don't know who he is. I don't give a flying fuck who he is.


To those cribbing about BBR, it is open source. If you are competent enough to enhance the code and submit a PR, let us see it. If zoidberg refuses to merge it despite your display of excellence, it will be time to dump BBR. Until then hug your confirmation biases real tight.


I renounce personal attacks and baseless FUD.

But you should realize that is why drawingthemoon was created... because this type of stuff was all too present in Monero's community.

Well I appreciate your position.  But whoever drawingthemoon (lewis?) is he is damaging the BBR brand and driving away people who are honestly interested in the coin.  I am not rpietilla or aminorex.  I have respect for those guys but I don't care whether or not they endorse BBR.  I have considered it to be a good sister investment and/or hedge.

Some of the CN stuff revealed by rethink-your-strategy and its possible relation to BBR (not saying anything one way or the other) shook me some, and when it began to rise in price, influenced by some of that info (read: some fear), I sold off my coins for a nice profit.  It kept going up and I made some lucky trades in and out of the swings (I'd have made 2x as much by just holding and selling around 10xxxx admittedly, but profit is profit).  Having rethought my position on the coin I have reestablished a position.  For a moment I held equal numbers of it and XMR, but the constant bickering and trolling has just put such a bad taste in my mouth that I am more comfortable with a hedge position for now (~10% of XMR holding size).  It just makes me feel like there is something dirty going on somewhere and I feel safer with XMR than BBR because of it.

That's honestly who I am, and what I have done BBR trading wise.  I am being honest and transparent.

I think drawing the moon is a fucking moron, an embarrassment to this community, and people like him posting here and in the XMR thread make BBR look bad.  I say this fully knowing one reason I feel this way is he is attacking ME PERSONALLY for some reason, and I am not even claiming XMR does not also have trolls and idiots involved in their community.

Take it for what it's worth.

I am unwatching this thread, and will resist posting here. So I guess drawinghtemoon gets his wish?  Fucking retarded cabbage of a child.  It irritates me he was successful at getting under my skin.  

I will most likely continue to hold some BBR, and I honestly with the project the best of luck.

rolling on the floor in laughter Cheesy  I vouch master clown status to be added to your account, thanks!

Did you not read your post? I contered what you said about altcoins taking minutes to get confirmed, and as shown by altcoins that have less than 10 second confirmation times, you're horribly wrong. That's all.

take a deep breath then lean back and look how long it takes to receive a transaction and get it confirmed.  Come on LOL. This is 2014? This is Windows 95, oh my gosh. It's not even funny to be honest. yaaaaaaaaawwwwwwnnnn (im not even going to mention Bitcoin waiting hours).

in a fast paced world who has the time to wait MINUTES for transactions to confirm?

in a fast paced world who has the time to wait MINUTES for transactions to confirm? a fricking joke at best. clear thumbs down sorry and not just the NXT in the video. I'ma talking all so-called "2.0"... it is 0.001 alpha in reality if put in an extremely optimistic manner.

see yall in the future when the government does the instant digital transactions 2.0 technology Cheesy and Bitcoin plus its offsprings is a relic of the past. that's how it's all probably going to turn out, thumbs down 99,99%.

BTCD, NXT, BBR. Maybe i forget some.

And cryptonite(xcn). Cryptonite is the first coin that has mini blockchain, which makes it the perfect coin for micro transactions.

Boolberry is a name I can imagine will be used everywhere in the world.
I can already hear the conversation of the lady in the supermarket saying to my grand mother "That'll be 32 boolberries, thx"
 Grin

"That'll be 32 boolberries, thx"  sounds like a Snack or type of Fruit/Vegetable, or Cereal.
