I sold everything lost like .21 btc , still happy i just pulled out from this shit again , no more crypto for me from now on , gonna wait till withdrawals works normally then pull everything out , this was a completely unnecessary disaster and im not seeing a bright future for this site , im taking everything back devil , you were right man this shit is scam

You don't need to leave crypto altogether, learn about trading patterns, Proof of Stake, volume and make money by your own hand. Stay away from ICO's and go for the established Coins and only risk smaller amounts as you get better at trade. Worst case you might lose some in some bad trades but you hold on to your money and aren't having someone else hold onto it.

You've got these ones atleast to choose from if you want to get into POS and trading. Yes PayCon is in there and I do work on it, but do your research into these Coins and make your own judgments.

Which altcoin took over from bitcoin this week when the average transaction fee went up?

Litecoin

Right but you basically just disagreed without any real points as to what you would change about it to make it better which is by my definition of an armchair idealist. You disagree without providing any alternative solution thus your arguement has no merit.

All the recent transaction volume has been stress testing, not real volume. And all it proved was that the network functions fine under that load. More expensively, or slower, but it functions fine.

So the onus is, in fact, on you to prove your predicate that the system really is about to disintegrate under strain, as that's what your actual argument depends on. Reality disagrees, bitcoin is still running, and the impact was small.

I wasn't talking about the stress testing but I think it has been quite positive in that miners shifted pools when the simulated attack was happening. Sure it would be ok for now but another year or so most all transactions would hit the limit so the network needs atleast a larger sized Blocksize in the near term to be able to kick the can down the road and not be forced to make hasty moves and have people shut out for hours and hours over not knowing what the appropriate fee would be.

Well, there was no evidence of "breaking" as you put it, either before, during or after any of the stress tests, so you're going to have to attribute this supposed malfunction to some event or time period.

You said the network performed just fine, I disagree because there were many many people who had their transactions delayed by hours during that time.

Wrong, it's supposed to create a market for transaction clearing times. So much else also needs changing to make that work better, but it's like someone said above: what do you think happens when the miners are mining nothing but fees? What happened in that stress test is what normal everyday fee pricing decisions will feel like in a mature bitcoin system.

Right, so that means at peak times it would cost a few dollars to send a transaction in order for it to be queued for delivery in a short enough period of time in which case the price of bitcoin could not move higher because transaction fees would be too high so people would use other Coins instead and so Bitcoin does not get used.

Still not getting proposed solutions, just more people talking problems.

Here's a solution, reset the chain (pruning) with the same balances at regular intervals (Clams style) so that way the Blocksize is never a problem, same with the size of the Blockchain, which is what people are ultimately worried about.

Seems as though Gavin is always the one proposing ideas and then have all the armchair idealists bitching about it.
If by "armchair idealists" you mean "core developer pragmatists" then yes, otherwise no.

Fork the Bitcoin and give it larger Blocks, this solution for doubling of the Block sizes every couple years will be just fine and will give the breathing room to make further changes.
You make it sound like you never want blocks to be full, if that's the case what are you suggesting is going to fund the network when inflation stops?

To those that believe that Bitcoin should remain the same as it was originally designed need to pull their head out of the sand, tech should never remain the same and should ALWAYS be changing.
Who ever argued that they don't want to see Bitcoin change just because they don't like change or because Bitcoin is perfect? I haven't seen that argument anywhere. I also disagree that "tech" should "always" be "changing", without some heavy qualifiers.

It does not make Bitcoin more centralized by forking it, centralization is a natural tendency of decentralized systems because people are lazy and want everyone else to make the decisions for them and then bitch about whatever the solution is going to be without coming up with a better one.
There are lots of causes for centralization, and even different types of centralization. "Laziness" is typically a driver of decentralization, actually.

Bitcoin is at breaking point and if it does not atleast get larger Block sizes within 1 year it will not function.
I'm hearing the sirens, but I'm not seeing the threat.

if people dont sell how can he buy Huh

*raises hand*

He doesn't have to buy anything. He can just magic himself up some 'khs' to sell to you idiots by crediting himself however many he wants. They aren't actually linked to anything like a blockchain so he can do whatever he likes with those numbers on the screen.


There are maybe 5 intelligent people in this thread and a hundred Scryptards blindly throwing their money away at cheap khs. Seriously, wtf? are people really that dumb? Even got people promoting the Scrypt.cc clone site Scryptocean now.

Those numbers on the screen mean nothing, add some more khs and drop the price and suddenly you have people going "cheap khs! nom nom nom!" but half of the newbie accounts are just "Marcello" and then the other half start throwing their money at it. Sad state this world, ignorance abound.

Case and point.

is withdraw working?

Other users on this thread, in trollbox and on irc webchat said so, so I would say yes!

The sockpuppet newbie accounts said so, so it must me true.


another new gruppie of cryptodevil Smiley .. I just doubled my BTC very fast by buying cheap khs. Where is the problem, why you would call me dumb, please?

First, it's spelled groupie, second because you are helping encourage people to put their money into scams in which only a very small amount will ever see their money back, and third you haven't doubled your money, it's in "Marcello's" wallet and only available if you are one of the lucky few.

The valiant hamsters are not giving up the Nickel Wall without a fight...



LOL- I was wondering if maybe that pump and support wall was the dump squads', but they pocketed that BTC the hamsters were trying to prop the price with.





Tsk Tsk, breaking dem walls down. No point in buying if you can't own a prime controller, 5% APR Stake rate with a 30% weekly decline rate? 25 BTC for less than 1% of the Coins is still WAY overpriced, maybe when it's worth about half to 1/10th of a penny.

- snip -

I wonder how many people realize that "originally" the maximum block size was approximately 32 MB.  It was reduced to 1 MB in July 2010.

Anyone that wants bitcoin to "remain the same as it was originally designed" should be demanding a 32 MB limit on the size of a block.

Actually I did not know this but I do like the idea of doubling the Block sizes every couple years because it will give lots of leg room to make improvements and possibly other changes. I think they should start with 4mb instead of 8mb, seems like a bit much to begin with and allow for the caps to be tested as it begins to hit capacity every couple years although I can also see why they would start with 8mb Blocks because with 8 MB doubling every 2 years you would never be hitting capacity.

872  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The winner Wallet on my quality test is MONACOIN, congrats. it synced. on: July 02, 2015, 04:17:55 AM
Yesterday I downloaded a bunch of wallets top 30 coins on marketcapcoin.com and installed them on a huge powerful machine 32GB RAM 8 core i7 resources are non issue. aside from BTC-LTC-DOGE-MTC which are good wallets which I need no testing I was looking for coins that would complete a sync with one try like Marinecoin QT.

I was very dissapointed.
The only one that was able to sync was Monacoin


Dash crashed 3 times gave up
Primecoin gave a block assertion error
Peercoin started good but halted after 3 hours
Vertcoin corrupt database error
Mintcoin halted overnight
Blackcoin very few blocks synced crashed few times
and the list is long and ugly,

I don't know how people expect anything from these coins when you can't properly sync their wallets I am an expert I can propbably get to sync them but regular new users can't they will think they are broken software and unreliable.

So the first coin I will be adding to https://mtcex.com will be Monacoin because of its quality and Marinecoin like sync performance.

Marinecoin DEV



Hey did you end up getting your decentralized open-source exchange thing going?

I quite liked your idea for it.

What I'd like to do with it is to launch a separate exchange for a few select Coins, I wouldn't make MarineCoin the base pair but would add it and recommend it for the use of the code.

10,000 kash at 386 sat!

I figure I can't pull the btc out so might as well cash in on other peoples panic!!

I went on the same theory and bought 145k.. if im wrong so be it.. that .55btc i had lef tin the account wouldnt have got to me anyways..

Same. I don't think this is accidental. I think we're being held hostage.

lol.. nah, really?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnt_6a5jfYQ



lol cash in on other peoples panic.

Those khash's are so cheap that you guys should just deposit like 5 BTC and buy it all up. You can make ROI in like 60 days!

buy buy buy!

bye bye!

I'll pretend there's no sarcasm in your post....

Well deposits are not working and admin has clearly stated this several times not to make deposits.  If this was a Ponzi about to make a run for it, why on earth would they say NO DEPOSITS PLEASE!!

Tell me the sense in that?  Cryptodevil, it's not often I actually want your opinion on something but i'd love to hear your explanation about that, why did admin specifically tell people to stop depositing when it is just essentially free money for scrypt.cc?

As for the ROI in 60 days, yes thank you, I've already made my ROI in around 60 days as i've been with scrypt.cc for a while before the whole electricity contract issue when ROI was between 57-60 days.



Limiting access is one of the tricks conmen use to lure in people, especially in ponzi schemes. There are lots of reasons for this. If they take in too many customers/money at first, their liabilities will grow too fast, and it will collapse quickly because they won't be able to pay anyone off, and they will end up with less money overall.

Also, if we assume they are lying, they are telling a story. and they need to have some sort of logic to their story or else it would collapse. Their story is that they have a bunch of miners and hackers are causing issues for the website. If they were accepting money people would rightly think that it's a scam, so it makes sense to pause deposits, at least for now. Who knows if this is the end completely or if they think they can wring more money out of this, but in both cases it makes sense to stop accepting money, if only to give the appearance of legitimacy for a few more days. If they are going to keep going, this makes them look legitimate, if they are done, every second you buy that they are legitimate is another second for them to hide or spend your money, cover their tracks, and make it harder for them to get caught/face consequences.

Also you should mention that they would also read these forums and source ideas from the same people warning against in such schemes so they would read all these ideas and use that in order to make it appear just legitimate enough to get more people putting in more money. Any true cloudmining service should not even hold onto customers funds or if they are then should be able to prove to their investors the amounts they hold and for what reasons. A service such as this classifies it as a security and if they were holding your Coins (your money) and had some hacker steal those funds then they are liable for those losses. In the case of any regular Coin in which you can buy or sell at any time and you hold on to your own funds, if in the case that you were negligent with your own security, you cannot find other people liable for your own mistakes.

So when we the change supposed to be at 25% APR for the prime hyper-inflating wallets? wasn't that supposed to be today?

Seriously, they could just remove the hyper-wallets and make the inflation equal across the board, works way better. The singular wallets with higher inflation doesn't work because you are limiting the smaller wallets when you want lots of people with many small wallets able to stake at the same rate, they will hold on to it or sell and that is market but if you have to risk large amounts in the first place then you are not going to buy so no market.

HYP and this is why.

If you are looking at ANY coin, I strongly recommend you look at what the dev/dev team is actually doing. No commits = no value

I really like HYP and the people around HYP are as good if not better than the huge amount of commits of real code.

Presstab is a great guy and always helping out other people and other Coins, hang out on the Hyperstake IRC ##hyperstake and you would know what I mean.

hi to all.... i've been out for the last month and im getting back to normal tomorrow or so, so i will start to sync my wallet, but i wonder how hard is to get new coins? i mean, 1 month ago i had to have at least 1000 coins to get 30 coins in 3 days, but now how much would i need?... i made 8 parts each with 1000 coins, would it be enough? i will buy another 8k coins to get it faster but for you all ,that have more experience than me on this, what is the best way to split your coins? i would really thank your answers.  Smiley  
It depends.
If you make them 1k, you'll stake quicker but you'll have less imputs.
Having more smaller blocks on the other hand will have them to stake later, but since you have more imputs you have more chances to stake.

Hasn't been too hard and I prefer smaller Blocks under 500 than larger ones of 1000, it is a bit harder than it was a month ago. Maybe we can think about increasing the Staking rewards soon?

Not sure I follow. Why would increasing the daily supply be a positive thing at this particular point in time?
Had some issues with my laptop while I was traveling, just got home.

edit: sent you 5k the other day. I saw on c-cex that you were having wallets built Smiley I meant to send it to your other address fyi

I've been trying to setup my build for Windows but it's a pain in the ass. I really hate Windows, so much. I can compile Linux in like 5 minutes but Windows I have so many problems. I've been stuck with upnp problems for like a week atleast.

I was thinking about increasing the rewards in the way that in another few months the distribution should be equal enough that it could support a bit of higher inflation and then once we hit the 1 year mark to reset the chain with a 10:1 swap and do it all over again.

I would want to perfect the wallet before all of that, the thing I think about is that as you get into 1-2 years of transactions you get long sync times and that is a hindrance.
