New Decree by Executive Order: No pants shitting until BTC goes below $3100.

That is the bottom thus far, set ~Dec 15th.

Hello all! I read some posts below about plagiarism and I have doubts about team of this project. I don't see here any real arguments from Coinware team. From now I am neither an ambassador, not a member of the Coinware team! (27 JAN. 2019)

Smart move.

I recommend all investors steer clear of this project as legitimate projects do not plagiarize their whitepapers.

the only group following the whitepaper is the BSV coin

Why do you think the general public cares about what's in the whitepaper? I'm genuinely curious. Seems like its just a talking point without substance or relevance.

If for no other reason, because the experiment as satoshi originally envisioned it is worth carrying to logical conclusion.

Look at it from this angle for a moment: Satoshi's original invention, aligning the best interests of the individual with the best interests of the system as a whole, unleashed this entire ecosystem. In the design of Bitcoin, he/she/they accomplished what all of humanity had previously been unable to do.

I really don't have a strong aversion to carrying out multiple parallel experiments (that may be an egregious simplification, but the difference is nuanced and inappropriate for the scope of this reply). But should we not carry out the experiment as set forth in the design that led to this entire 'Cambrian Explosion' (there's an overused term) of innovation?

From my perspective, abandoning the experiment as envisioned by its progenitor is pure folly.

Its quickly abandoning itself. We already have a bitcoin, its called bitcoin, and its doing just fine.

I'm just saying the general public - the market that both BCH and SV are trying to penetrate - don't care about what the whitepaper says. They in large don't even want bitcoin at all. However, BTC has always led the pack and all altcoins have been largely dependent on its success -- this dynamic is unlikely to change in the near future (2-5 years).

Without God there would be no science... or anything else, for that matter.

Without engineering, science would have died out long ago.

Cool

A. Whose version of god? Yours? How are you certain your god is the "real god"? Seems a bit pompous.

B. Yet both still exist and the evolution of knowledge could not have proceeded in any other way.

 Cool

^^^ This is where religion steps in. Science isn't close to answering things like these.

Cool

Religion does a worse job of explaining things than science.

If religion is the answer, _which_ religion is it? There's hundreds or even thousands of incompatible religions out there. To believe that your religion is the correct one and all the others are wrong is sheer arrogance. It's more likely that they are all wrong.

Much of science theory is a made up story, just like religion often seems. Science fact doesn't explain much of anything.

Cool

Technology runs on science. If it wasn't correct, we wouldn't have things like the internet, planes, refrigerators, or even a printing press to make new bibles. The last thing science is is "a made up story." The scientific method prevents this from happening.

Will Bitmain continue propping up Bcash?  Do the small fry bag holders regret not selling before the fork ?  Are Bcash and SVcash cancelling each other out and having a race to the bottom? Is Satoshi shaking his head and saying to himself "these guys are obsessed with my white paper, they need medical help"

These are the questions that must be asked.

OK well this was a pretty unpopular thread, but let's do this:

Pats will win by 3 pts or more. Spread is currently 2.5 in their favor.

I want the Rams to win, but going by my prior philosophy which has worked thus far, Patriots will win because they really excel in post season play, and last year's Super Bowl was no exception.

Pats for the big SB win.

Like I mentioned before these are common terms.
Also, thanks for the observation. It shows you are following our community.

A "term" refers to one or two words. Your whitepaper has plagiarized entire paragraphs. There's a huge difference.

From the Forbes article:

What businesses benefit?

Prior to the advent of the blockchain, there was no way to secure and validate ownership in a digital asset or verify a transaction in a trustless, public manner. Take, for example, the act of utilizing a software license to gain access to a program like Microsoft Word. To enforce the right to use the software, it must check a centralized server operated by Microsoft. If Microsoft wanted, it could deny access to the software or transfer those permissions to another user. While we consider Microsoft a trusted entity, the risk of illicit behavior increases when an untrusted party is introduced.

Perhaps a better example is ownership of a more valuable asset, such as a substantial share in a company or valuable digital asset such as a one-off piece of digital artwork. To transfer shares of ownership in a company, the current model requires stacks of paperwork, a lawyer or a centralized and trusted entity, such as the New York Stock Exchange.

What about transferring a digital asset like art? How do you prevent people from copying the digital file and sending many others a copy? If there’s no way to publicly verify the transfer of a single asset to a single entity, then there’s no way to enforce ownership or authenticity. This is why the value in art is always in the physical good.

The blockchain is the first technology that enables the transfer of digital ownership in a decentralized and trustless manner. In fact, there are companies like Polymath that are disrupting the industry by creating digital tokens that can represent ownership in a company, or DAEX, which is seeking to disrupt the world of digital art by publishing ownership on the blockchain.

While technology and supporting platforms around the blockchain ecosystem are sure to evolve, to answer the question of which businesses will initially benefit from its use, are the ones which possess the following traits:

• Transaction-based

• Benefits from public scrutiny

• Benefits from history that can’t be rewritten

• Decentralization benefits the end user or customer

The only thing you really changed was the first word of the title of the section, from "What" to "How." Pretty lame. Any last words before I tag you as a scammer? This is your last chance. Think carefully.

Waiting on repayment, all good otherwise.

Fair enough - I will add some trust. The loan is from a while ago.

OP is who he claims to be, I am in contact with him. I don't think he is wanting to scam. That said, he would find it hard to get a loan now.

@marcotheminer, I would not be as passive if I found myself in your situation.  Here's a member that has owed you money "from a while ago" asking for another loan.  If he already owed me money that would bother me, unless...  Did you and 2double0 agree he would borrow the money to repay you?  Or is there something even more nefarious going on?  In all honesty, your behavior is painting you in a suspicious light.

There's a chance he's vouching for his own account. From his most recent feedback:

Care to explain why your whitepaper is heavily plagiarized?

From a Forbes article:



From your whitepaper:



You've also plagiarized from Bitfinex articles in your definitions of trades:

Good day
The term is a simple word and worldly use in the ecosystem

When you copy something word-for-word, whole paragraphs no less, that's plagiarism. I have sincere doubts about the legitimacy of your project. All potential investors should be warned and do their own research to verify my claims.
8471  Other / Meta / Re: [NEW and updated] LoyceV's Weekly Trust list overview in Human Readable Format on: January 26, 2019, 05:01:37 PM
Loyce I am consistently amazed by your data aggregations.

Looking at your Trust List summaries I am reminded of the Civilization game series where you can see how the leaders of each civilization feel towards you. And then scrolling through the trust list of adversaries/friends you can deduce things like, "ah, the enemy of my enemy is my friend," or "yeah that guy has good tastes"... etc. Its pretty entertaining, and even educational.

I know that I came after long time as I had health issues for which my doctor suggested to keep distance from things like smartphones and laptops as the rays were not suitable for me. I'm here after I completely recovered from my problems, trauma had stopped and I can use these things back again.

I'm genuinely curious... Would you mind telling us what sort of health issue would prevent this? I know that radiation and electromagnetic waves from these devices aren't good in general, but I'm just wondering what condition(s) would be particularly aggravated by them. Thanks.
8473  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 26, 2019, 03:42:14 PM
if bitcoin falls to 1000, then BCH will not fall lower than now

ETH may drop to $ 10, LTC to $ 4, but BCH may not fall below $ 75 because nobody bought it cheaper


I wonder what prompted this invasion. Alls this guy does is shill for BCH but usually he has the courtesy to keep to their ANN thread. Besides, people did buy it for cheaper, like for $0 when they got it in the fork.

Ah there you go bud. Million dollar project but plagiarized whitepaper hehe

OP guys you really need to work hard. Too many scams out here which is made hard to spot a good one.

I was bored so I decided to click on ANN and found 2 scams within the first 10 projects. It's pretty stupefying how much bullshit there is out there.

You're bumping a 3-month old response to a 12-month old question... Lol. Everybody who ever bought this coin is currently sitting on a loss. Congratulations! I tried to warn you guys that this was a crap coin rebooted as a scam, but you didn't want to listen. There's absolutely no reason to buy this coin.

I brought paccoin and mined paccoin in 2013,2014,Sold them before swap.Brought paccoin again after swap.

Sorry to hear about your losses.

Can we discuss the Big Lebowski here as well or will there be another official Grin cult movie?

I had joked for a long time that a sequel would be called:

" To him, El Petro is just another way for Maduro to "scam his own people. "

Quite literally. Since its near impossible to purchase the actual coin (in its latest form, those who partook in the NEM version launch are just SOL), the government is issuing IOUs to people who want to buy petros... I'm starting to think the coin might not actually exist at all...
