Avoid "listening" to mining1 or Minecache. They are both proved ETH shills and they will worship it, even if someone proves that the Devil is involved in its creation.

It's pretty easy to understand. 1 BTC worth of STEEM sell order + 1.5 BTC worth of STEEM sell order = 2.5 Sum (BTC). Same goes for buy orders.

I think the price would go lower than 0.0069, I can see a down trend from now till the end of the year and this trend is common to most Altcoins

It highly depends on what will happen in the "war" between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Ultimate. I'm not sure if you guys are aware of, but currently BTCU is with 10%+ share in BTC network.

oh please.

The twitter account of your project is littered with retarded memes and therefore makes your argument moot.

It's like the pot calling the kettle black.

You've been bitch-slapped,

Take it like a man and buck up.

Also, don't knock $5 man, it can get you sucky sucky in some places for a looonnnnggg time.

  Grin

Okay, that was funny and it deserves an answer.

1. The reason for this is, because FAIL wallet is developed (but still in like Beta version) in such way so it can pick up specific hashtags from the account. There is a section called "Fun" and if you click on it, you'll see all the tweets in one place. We all like to read/see jokes from time to time, right? That's why FailArmy and 9GAG are so successful. FailCommunity is going to try and use that niche, but not only that - its cryptocurrency can be also used to help people.

2. Not at all. The wallet will be also designed to pick up news about development, new partners (or ANN from them), market predictions etc. - all in one place - the wallet. You don't need to follow websites, forums, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook etc...

3. I don't feel I'm bitch-slapped. As I already said - get your facts straight first.    

4. Fair enough (about the $5), but I'm 110% sure that many of the accounts used in such threads (about crowdsales, ICO etc.) are sock puppets and that's a proven fact. This is not a good practice. At least I am here with my name and everything.

P.S. ICONOMI LOL'ed at the tweet, I've had some good laugh - all is good. And the guy who "trolled" deleted his tweet long before that.
P.S.2. You should know that I and people involved in ICONOMI project have mutual friends.

/thread, really

Would you explain me what is not crap? Raising $10.7Mn from the masses and call people trolls via your official Twitter account?
well, if one is trolling he is a troll
What's to explain?

well there are loads of idiots fudding and trolling....so got to say things as they are, innit.....

You guys need to understand that Twitter is not bitcointalk. Anyways, good luck.

indeed, judging by https://twitter.com/FAILCommunity

At least get your facts straight, before making such statements. You are like an amoeba in cryptocurrencies to me and the rest of this community, which is build on trust and it happens to be with 12 members from 10 different countries. The account is also listed on 100s of fintech lists followed by thousands of people for a reason. It's easy to "invest" $5 in a ICO and then jump on others, while "defending" your beloved project.

P.S. Good luck to Iconomi!

I can't argue on the matter as I'm not a coder.

I think we've crossed streams here.

Nah, all is good.

Polo has been decent in their response, and I think take it all seriously but OP raised proper points and has gotten his 0.2 btc bounty for pointing out a 200 btc problem.

As long as companies don't take these things seriously there'll always be incentive for good people to do the wrong thing.

For all the bad PR that's come up, polo should actually be grateful for this guy, he did good.

I agree on everything, but the decent part (well, I may add the size of the bounty, giving the fact that Poloniex is operating with 10s of millions $). Notice part of their response:


Quote
This same person then found another client-side exploit where he could alter the style of his Trollbox name to resemble the color of a moderator. Despite what has been falsely reported, he did not gain moderator privileges. Still, we would have considered this a bounty-worthy bug, but rather than report this to us, he decided it would be a spectacular idea to go into the Trollbox and flaunt what he had found. He was quickly banned, and a fix for this bug was implemented in a matter of minutes. Should a 'security review' of a company by an unknown, unidentifiable person be trusted without asking the question - what is his objective? Should a 'news source' that eagerly publishes the statements of a person without verifiable identity or proper vetting of his accusations be considered legitimate news?

I thought they are joking. Should that 'news source' name to be Kevin Mitnick in order to investigate the problem? It sounded like: "We are Poloniex and he is nobody".

Not cool.

As far as it stands now.

Yes.

You do realize that Emin Gun Siner is Associate Professor at Cornell's Computer Science Dept.? And as I said - I don't think their answer is professional. They talked against Xavier for too much and I believe they have better things to do.

Their problem is that no one 'informed them first', and that is what needs to be proven.
So where's the proof.
Emails or gtfo

You think?

No, he will then just send them 9,2M (I think that many DeOS tokens were sold?) and just say:
- There you go, these are 9.2M BTC, go buy some boats.
896  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: [Bounty] 2 BTC - corrupted wallet recovery! on: October 16, 2016, 08:49:01 AM
The last thing that I think the solution of this problem is recover files from the hdd(hdd recovery) is not impossible to recover some files after you formatted your computer or laptop I try this method  every I forgot something to backup in my computer.

That's indeed a very good suggestion, but it highly depends on when was the last time you were using the wallet. You can recover some of your information after format, but things are getting worse with every extra minute in which HDD is used. Otherwise, I once recovered over 200 GB of data from a 160 GB drive. But you'd better use a company, which is specialized in recovery of info.
897  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Vitalik Buterin confirms another ETH hard fork on: October 16, 2016, 08:43:50 AM
This thread seems to be (mostly) like a group of people all agreeing on how much they hate ETH. It has the air of jealousy really. ETH is a young technology and as such it's being refined and repaired, which is a good thing IMHO. What's the big deal about hard-forking if it's necessary? Obviously it gets more difficult as time proceeds but doing it while you still can seems like an expedient choice to me. I'm sure BTC took at least one hard fork early on. Hard-forking seems to many people to be just wrong. Like saying it is like saying a bad word. I think that if you can recognize when you are wrong about something, admit it, then change and move on that's a good thing. Rather than to stubbornly continue with what you were doing at all costs. Block size anyone?

I don't hate Ethereum as a technology, nor people involved in its development for that matter. I don't like the facts that they bailed out with the DAO and that they are keep changing the rules.

note: Bitcoin was never hard forked!

If you compare it to BTC (which I do because most of the biggest ETH haters seem to be BTC lovers) - didn't BTC go through a lot of problems and fixes early on? So what's the big deal?

You can't compare ETH with BTC, because of 3 simple reasons:

1. Satoshi (or the group behind this name) didn't raised money from the masses.
2. It has issues, but their solutions divide opinions of the people behind its development as Bitcoin didn't changed what it stands for (i.e. code is law).
3. Bitcoin is the king. Period.

And as another comparison, supposedly ETH is largely staked by a "big group of bankers" or whatever? No doubt sitting at a round table in a smoky dark room or something? So it isn't very decentralized. Neither is BTC. What percentage of holders of BTC do you think are "average" people rather than very large investors/speculators?

Nobody said that Bitcoin is decentralized, but talking about decentralization and comparing it with ETH is hilarious. I already created a thread some time ago and there I've said that the decentralization is a dream and I truly believe in that.

Some people are also griping about Vitalek and the ETH dev team. What great leaps forward have any BTC developers made in the last 2 years?

None of these technologies are perfect obviously. There are too many of them and most of them wont survive. The ones that will have to use every opportunity to make them better and stronger. I think that the attacks on ETH to date are probably from people just like the haters on this thread. I think that if they don't kill it they will make it much, much stronger. Hopefully the hard-fork/s will make it stronger and then I would thank whoever made the attacks for driving the improvement.

Bitcoin developers are not getting paid.

Look, Vitalik and such people are great minds and "being in their shoes" is not easy at all, but this doesn't change the fact that the DAO was a $2,5Bn failure. I won't blame anyone if Bitcoin fails and I lose money on it, but things with ETH are kinda different.
