I'm pretty sure we all start off as evil but we must learn to outgrow our evil ways.
No, humans are inherently good, and through other factors(environmental, even biological/dealing with the brain and some people have a distinct lack of empathy), turn them "evil". |

Humans are not inherently selfish. There was a study done where humans who came across homeless people were asked to give there first thoughts.
There first thoughts were to give money to the homeless man. But as they thought about the situation more, they thought that maybe the homeless man wasn't homeless at all, that they had better things to spend the money on etc.
So that would mean humans become selfish because of a multitude of things, and are not inherently selfish. Stop trying to justify human life as being evil when it's exactly the contrary.
I see that some of you(LaudaM) are denying emotions etc. You're just being irrational and irresponsible to yourselves. Unless you have aspergers or another condition that makes you incapable of having empathy for another human being, please do not deny yourself the beauty of emotions(love), bonds(sex), etc. It's at least very irrational and means you probably have a god complex or you're absorbed in some fantasy world, well whatever the reason, it's not healthy

dga also made this statement, he just mines and sells coins that he mines.
(I don't personally own any, nor do I hold any Bitcoin - I mine and sell for the most part, to minimize my risk exposure.) - dga
More recently, he said that he was mining BBR on 22 GPUs and holding until 0.002 It may be a while. Wow, might be quite a wait, not inspiring much confidence there lol. |

Hahahahha ouch. It looks like he took it down though.

I was thinking if it is too early to tell that we are having a closer cooperation with David, who will be situated in my castle, but then I realized that he has already disclosed it in his CV, so it is definitely OK.
I was thinking if it is too modest of a resume, telling only about English and Office skills, but then I realized that I also don't have much more to put on my resume, which I don't even have, and neither does the critic, so it is definitely OK.
Risto with all due respect, you completely misunderstand my experience and why it matters. Since 1983, I have been developing commercially successful client software. Each time I was the first to do something that spread around the world. I did WordUp in the mid-1980s which was one of the first WYSIWYG full featured word processors in the world. This predated Ventura Publisher (which had many more features) and followed MacWrite (which was less featured). I was right in there launching the desktop publishing revolution that changed the world. I wrote TurboJet which was the first printer driver that leverage the RLE encoding to make printing with laser printers for multiple fonts fast. I have been in the trenches developing 100,000 to million lines of code client software wherein I was the sole developer or one of the key developers on a small team. What you don't realize because you are not a programmer, is that there is a huge difference between the guys who do that fluffy stuff on his CV and the guys who've proven themselves in the trenches. This is all cool man. But where is your coin so I can buy it? If the choice is Monero, Bitcoin or Cash what do I do? Go buy WordUp? You're smart as hell and as puzzling as hell too. Also I am aware dga has a masters in computer science and he did the work on improving the PoW code. He seems fairly knowledgeable, but again I don't know if he has been in the trenches developing commercially successful client software. And in my case, successfully marketing these too. Didn't dga just mine the **** out of Monero and then later help/invest with boolberry after he mined some of it? Definately worth reading DGA´s reply, kudos for that dga.  |

Ring signatures are unwound when the tax authorities require you to provide your password to justify your tax basis. Use more than 1 wallet? Plausible deniability is such a nice toy... That doesn't address the issue. If tax authorities require you to prove your tax basis, then you must unwind the anonymity. When you unwind it, you reduce the anonymity set for everyone that mixed with you. It would be much better to be able to say, "okay here is my password" and the authorities still can't unwind it. I know how to design this. You then say you've kept all records and complied, but the system is too anonymous and this is not your fault. They would have to make it illegal to use the system. If we get to that stage, it will be Mad max war of the people against the government. - I don't believe it will ever get to such a stage, there are easier ways to stop zerocash since its not untrustable anyway. So many people rely on a government, without one who would step up to do things? Another government. There won't exist a world without a central authority, or something resembling it, mayble something similar to how the U.S government works with having different branches that don't hold power over the others(so it's not completely centralized). Living in an anarchist world would be hell on earth, I don't understand how so many bitcoiners want that... It would mean no leadership at all, everyone killing each other and worse since there isn't any rules etc, we'd probably go extinct if such a thing ever happened |

it 's still living

Dropping over 1000% in price since November with no upswings isn't "dying slowly"  |

Degree of anonymity is subjective. Very few people want full secrecy (ie off-grid), because to have a functioning society, there has to be government (read: civil protection) at some level. It can be Federal, State, County, Parish or Local, but human society is made of connected individuals.
All those levels of govt. are interested (and not interested) in various degrees according to their remits.
The privacy is not for gov, its for the people, gov should be as transparent as possible and people's stuff as private as possible, this is the ideal society. I myself, do not want full secrecy in the sense that no one, even myself, can see my transaction history when it comes to transmitting money. Have you not seen the bombings that threaten cities worldwide? From the boston bombing that claimed a few lives, to ISIS taking over bases in the middle east? Full secrecy would allow child molesters, terrorist organizations, violent racial groups, gangs, corrupt governments(north korea), etc to grow even more without anyone being able to take them down, especially when it comes to transmitting money.. That's why I do not support Zerocash. WIth Ring Signatures you can have full anonymity and still be Legal(so you're transaction history is still known by you incase of anything), while zerocash doesnt have such things. |

I have to agree, cryptonite resembles kryptonite, and can easily get confused with Superman's kryptonite or the other coins named kryptonite.
But I also think minicoin is a bad name. Anything with the word coin in it, (aside from bitcoin and prob darkcoin) sounds very childish and toylike.

I was wondering. I'm not a cryptographer, but can transactions be wired through another coin?
So if Monero wanted to stop bloating/scaling all together, is it possible to create a 2nd temporary chain(coin) linked to Monero, and have Monero's transactions go through there?
So for ex: Monero devs make another coin purely for transactions called Mon. Once Mon has bloated enough, then they replace Mon with another coin called Mon2, etc etc, or Mon automatically does this for itself.
Shouldnt that allow Monero to scale up to Visa levels if it can be implemented?

Or someone could just fork the coin, give it a decent name like minibit or microblock, and replace the m7 algo with dual merge mining sha and scrypt like huntercoin; or even better triple merge mining with qubit or something gpu friendly too, to give the coin a wider distribution. I don't see the reason here for a new algo (m7) except to have private miners, so that a select few can have a mining advantage while the block reward is at its maximum. The early miners only got a small amount of coins(Less than 1mill). Around only 5million coins have been mined so far(1 month after the first day mining incident) , and the total supply is 1.8billion. |

BitChick and her husband, if I recall correctly they believe the earth is 6000 years old or some shit like that.
Earth was a moon of Jupiter possibly as recent as 10,000 years ago. Moving the moon into a planetary configuration caused a lot chaos, earth quakes, "flooding", freezing & heating and an increase in gravity. To say the Earth was "created" 6,000 years ago isn't too far from what really happened. Venus was also moved and there's no disputing that its surface is less than 10,000 years old based on the most recent satellite data. Jehovah Witnesses believe the Earth is only 6K old, and my oldest sister in Indiana attends a Church that believes the Earth is only 10K old. I recall my sister, who's a tad slow (but not retard, apology for this usage), talking to my dad at his deathbed to embrace Jesus. Dad told here, "Fuck Jesus!" Then, my sister went outside and cried. If anything, that might of been a bad move on your dad's part. It's impossible to prove and disprove the existence of God....so just in case the Christian God exists, you don't want to go around saying, "Fuck Jesus"... Good point! For what it's worth, dad no longer says it. I don't know if ," For what it's worth, dad no longer says it" should be interpreted as your dad has passed away, which I'm assuming it is hence "talking to my dad at his deathbed", in which case then I'm deeply sorry for making that remark... |

David Berlinski is wrong on all points.
Evolution is clearly present, if you want hands on proof, become an archaeologist, or go to a museum. Anyone who denies evolution is completely delusional...

I believe in one "being" that is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. I also believe that throughout many of the religions in the world, that being has expressed itself to people. For ex: There are many similarities between Ancient Egyptian Mythology and Christianity(3 days, rising from the dead etc). Many religions believe in an joyous afterlife for the good and a "hell" for the bad. It's one of three things in my opinion. 1) God is like I described above(No one religion is right on their depiction of God, he is in all religions) 2) There is no God and I'm completely wrong 3) God is real and from one or a mixture of religions present today(So for ex: The Jesus Christ of Christianity is the true god) Well, that's just a view of mines.  |

Should i ltc sell or buy more ?
Will litecoin rise up or go down ?
Ask yourself this. Is a bitcoin clone with no unique features of it's own and constant downpressure from ASIC owners selling at any price trying to get ROI, a good buy? Exactly, it's not, and that's exactly what Litecoin is. |

Ltc has no special features. The course is manipulated by fraudsters.
A normal citizen does not understand why he should keep Ltc.
If btc drops to 370, then ltc stands on 2.5. Under 2.5 could buy one, because gamers buy.
Ultimately ltc will fall to the level of doge. This is just for gamblers.
I would say litecoins 'special feature' is that it makes btc look like sending a fuckin money gram to South Sudan, I have barely clicked send to cash out poolside before it's already confirmed in my wallet. Once people start spending it, especially for micro transactions like a cup of coffee. I agree what the fellow tried to state with his poor English which is that unfortunately for everyone, while we were watching btc, china DOMINATED ltc, for people mining btc, look at the top pools compared to ltc, not only are they all in china, the websites are designed to be for mainlanders and not the global community. There is so much Chinese, I can't even navigate with google translate enough to register or even apply for an acc. IMO silverfish fucked everyone and they probably control over 50% of the supply if they even have a fraction of what they mined left... So?? Fastcoin's 10 second transaction time, makes Litecoin 2.5minutes look like a car without wheels trying to drive uphill. Litecoin is 100% Bitcoin clone with no noteworthy features over Bitcoin. It's true price is 0/worthless Do you see how many blocks in fastcoin are abandoned? There is a fine line between fast and too fast. That wasn't the point I was making. I was saying that Litecoin's speed is Nothing compared to other alt-coins speed. Litecoin has Absolutely Nothing going for it. |

You are funny Vlad. I just hope you don't believe most of what you write.
I do believe everything I say. Soon we'll see if I'm crazy or not. But if I had the money right now I would for sure put my money where my mouth is and buy a ton of LTC and doge [and IXC]. You are making extremely bad investments... Think before you invest Vlad2Vlad. Dogecoin is a meme based tippingcoin, however it's skyhigh inflation and infinitely high coin supply, is reducing it's value drastically. It's as good as dead. Litecoin is a bitcoin clone with no unique features of it's own, and it's been on a decline since November. It's as good as dead. IXC is a bitcoin premined clone that was always good as dead.. Seriously, get someone to invest in alt-coins For You, or stop. You're just going to keep on losing more money on the route you're taking. |
