The GOP wouldn't survive president Sanders. Neither would the USA.

People were saying the U.S. wouldn't survive Trump, yet here we are. People have been saying the same thing every election about every candidate they didn't like, forever. The reason we're still here is because the presidency is now more of a figurehead type position. Once a president takes office, 95% of their ideology falls to the wayside as they become encumbered by forces ensuring maintenance of the status quo.

Apparently pointing out reality now days makes you a dick.

No, its being a dick that makes you a dick.

I guess John McAfee will feel the shame because of that news and he will try to find the other way to avoid the news and will say "nothing to be worried, the hack happen is because we are not yet ready to receive any attacking."

John McAfee can't feel shame; that's one of the great side effects of being a sociopath. The part of his brain that feels the most human of emotions, like conscience, shame and empathy, is either faulty or missing altogether.

Is McAfee still human?

That's a legitimate question. Technically, he still possesses above-average intelligence, however his prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped, rendering him also possessing the characteristics of a great ape. He claims to have "47 biological children," so if even 1 of these was actually true, then he would indeed be classified as a human because he can still breed with other humans.

Dear Traders,

We plan to distribute the next batch of coins tomorrow, Feb 19th.
Thank you for your patience.

  Where the representative of the exchange has gone. I understand the exchange has already completed the distribution of coins. Distributed the scam coins and BTС  ETH left the coins to itself. WARNING THIEVES ...............

That would appear to be the case.

BiteBTC reps: can you explain why you are returning tokens of low value to their owners but not BTC or ETH?

A group of thieves threaten us
He does not know what awaits them !!

8227  Other / New forum software / Re: Merit isn’t enough, tipping using LN on: February 22, 2019, 04:35:07 AM
I think its a good idea, worth trying out. Maybe you can employ something like the tippin.me service that is going to be used by Twitter. Yes, it is one of those 3rd party services you were just talking about, but the alternative is people setting up their own LN node, which would encourage people to experiment and learn on their own. Maybe there could be an on/off indicator so the sender knows if the person is online and ready to receive a tip.

Since most tips would probably be between 10 and 1000 satoshis, not exactly life-changing amounts, I think its a win/win either way, whether you go with 3rd party service or not.

LOL.

Every time I open the Announcements board I can always find at least 1 or 2 projects with a plagiarized white paper. So, my question is, do all of these deserved to be tagged as scam projects?

My rule of thumb is, it depends on which parts are being plagiarized. Of course all of it is bad and if you were in college you could be expelled without at least crediting your sources, and putting "quotes" around the parts you "referenced."

Is the common standard that plagiarism should always result in a red tag for the ICO promoter? I'm just curious.

If you hadn't have done your God's Work I can assure you somebody else would have, so settle down over there, Edison.

Go fuck yourself.

Yes, it is true that, had I not done so, some other would have. But I did. If some ignorant nobody is going to attack me with a slanderous claim of tech luddism, I am going to put them straight.

Incidentally, why do you feel compelled to comment upon this, which has absolutely nothing to do with you whatsoever?

I just notice that certain people in this forum engage in this exact same behavior. They truly believe they are God's gift to mankind and are better than everybody else, so much so that they need to constantly remind others of this. I'm pretty sure its a neuropsychological problem or some deep-seeded behavioral issue, so its not really your fault. Just interesting identifying patterns in human behavior.

Again, you have no fucking idea. Without the work I have done over the last few decades (and continue to do), your computer -- the one you are using right now, be it phone, laptop, workstation, or mainframe -- would operate differently than it does today. From moments after flipping the power switch until shutdown, there is a piece of my brain that your computer is utterly dependent upon.


It's the second time you mention that - so far as I'm aware.
We can agree that you are smart.

Don't want to dox you or anything, but I would like to know something more specific than that if possible.
Care to elaborate?

No. Some have figured it out. Chissakes, it ain't that opaque.

If you hadn't have done your God's Work I can assure you somebody else would have, so settle down over there, Edison.

You sound like a real Craig Wright. No wonder people suspected you of being him (I mean, outside of your incessant shillery for Bcash then SV).

Like Wright and other members of this forum who think they are so high and mighty, you are so insecure about your own intellect you have to remind the world how important you are every chance you get.

How's the band going btw?

Hi Nutildah!

Let me reply to you...

All sources of studies are included in our whitepaper - with direct links to the studies.

A lot of your white paper is plagiarized from these 2 sources, yet you don't reference them or give them credit:

https://melift.cc/assets/melift-whitepaper.pdf
https://almaferly.wordpress.com/2018/01/24/recreational-boat-market/

You should probably source them in your white paper.

This above is not true. I do not know where you got your source from, but nothing is copied from the links above.



Then this one is accredited but you didn't put quotes around the text you took from it:

https://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/vto/content/study-competitiveness-recreational-boating-sector

Again, not true. All market analysis comes from third party source:
https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/yacht-charter-market.html
...which is clearly sourced too.

Best regards,
Miha

From your whitepaper:

Quote
In the last 10 years, the average age of users more or less changed by 10 years from around 45 to 55 years. This means that basically no young boat owners entered the market, consumers spend less and less time on the boat, and renting is gaining popularity. Recreational boating is gaining popularity as a new way of spending vacations. Chartering therefore endured the 2008 crisis rather well, however, smaller companies faced difficulties.

From the referenced study:

To your credit you did clean up the wrong grammar in the original, but its still essentially the same thing. Other sections of your white paper also lift entire sections from this study.

From your whitepaper:

Quote
The demand trend is also attributed to the phenomenon that today’s users of boats appear to be less willing to accept long preparation of their boating trips, constant maintenance or dealing with upcoming problems, leading to decreasing tendencies to own a boat and an increased growth demand for charters. They want to go to their preferred destination, have a boat ready and everything functioning throughout their holidays.

The following subsections describe the main features of the platform available to owners of private and business accounts. Both types of accounts will provide many similar functions, but are divided for taxation purposes and to simplify the calculation of fees and commissions. Owners of business accounts will have greater access to advertising tools on the platform and will be able to obtain various extra services in exchange for an optional monthly subscription fee; further, business accounts will face certain limitations on contacting private users to avoid spam.

Both types of accounts will provide similar functionality but is divided for tax purposes and to simplify the calculation of fees and commissions. Owners account will now have access to tools more ads on the platform and will be able to get many different additional services in exchange for a monthly subscription fee option; moreover, business accounts will face certain restrictions when contacting private users to prevent spam.

From your whitepaper:

Quote
The use of the most innovative digital technologies has been one of the prime movers of growth in the whole travel sector, creating online travel giants like AirBnb and TripAdvisor. In the yacht charter industry, there are some booking systems like Booking Manager, Nausys and Sedna. However, these projects are heavily centralised and consequently make the whole charter market fragmented - creating frustration for end users, guests and sailors. Also, these seemingly innovative projects may soon become outdated with the arrival of blockchain technology. Cryptocurrencies, decentralised structures and smart contracts will soon define the new face of the yacht charter industry.

Pretty much your entire white paper is plagiarized from a few different sources. Some are former ICOs. That's certainly a red flag for anybody considering investing in it. It means you haven't put forth the time to do your own research. It's lazy at best and fraud at worst.
8234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] The FREE Coin, the first cryptocurrency for global cryptocurrency usage on: February 20, 2019, 03:30:10 PM
You probably should because it will help keep you honest.

Just 5 days ago you moved coins from your 2nd biggest address to TokenStore:

https://etherscan.io/tx/0xd48733d9afaa6098db48b9c00811bb0b6bf1120ff4301568fef4eda5a80aef24

So they are not "locked" addresses if you are moving coins out of them.

Also, this will always look ridiculous no matter how you try to justify it:



First of all, the price of ETH at the end of 2018 was $132, not $950 as you predicted in your spreadsheet.

Your market cap prediction for FREE was very close, but you are predicting it will go up 20 fold (2,000%) by the end of 2019, without explaining _why_.

Furthermore, you are suggesting that FREE's market cap will be 8.3 TRILLION by 2025. This is approximately 8x bigger than Ethereum itself according to your price prediction of $8,300 by this year.

So I just have one last question: were you high on crack when you came up with these estimates, or are you trying to lure people into buying your token with absurdly high profits?

But I wonder why that article mention about PACCoin and not with the popular coins like Ethereum, Ripple, or other else in the top 10 positions? Or they want to promote those coin to the public? If yes, then it will be interesting to wait for the launch and watching that documentary.

Hopefully with PAC they point out how it was a highly inflationary bitcoin clone rebranded as a scam, because that's what it was (is). I remember when the "new" PACcoin white paper came out, it had pictures of Dorian Nakamoto next to quotes by Satoshi.  Roll Eyes

You do. What are you talking about "redress"? No unfair action has been committed against you. Everything you think is wrong is all in your head. You can continue to bitch and moan every day but its getting quite boring, and you aren't doing your cause any favors by repeating yourself ad nauseum.

Why is it meriting socks to argue with your opponents and trying to get them banned anonymously ok for some people, but other people don't get to leave merits because they were "political".

Because the merits theymos deleted were specifically toward the end goal of gaming the trust system. He explained it quite thoroughly. Some people don't like you because they think you're a pompous ass, I happen to be one of them. It has nothing to do with politics.

LN cannot onboard enough people fast enough to be a contender. Not to mention all the evil that will be unleashed when the chain does not have the capacity to handle renewals or cashouts. Even if it had the value capacity for meaningful commerce. Or even if it had simple clients. Or the ability to route in a malleable environment of channels coming and going, with users wanting trustless, permissionless, decentralized operation.

It's already a contender, and the process of onboarding is already happening with or without your consent. All your arguments always revolve around "what could be" instead of "what is."

I know enough about you to know you, more than the average person,  have the skills to do simple deductive reasoning...  If lightning doesn't have the ability to onboard people fast enough for OFF CHAIN... then  how will BSV be able to confirm that may payments ON CHAIN without centralizing?  It takes ONE TX to go off chain and then to do do millions of transactions using that SINGLE off chain TX.

Regardless of the level of his deductive reasoning skills, he is committed to propagating falsehoods in order to shove his weird views down the throats of others. It's not a commendable behavior and frankly he's consistently, unapologetically one of the wrongest people on the forum.
