If you've tried explaining things like Bitcoin to "normal" people (not too technical) you've probably noticed how hard it is to get people to try something out. I think you're overlooking the greed factor though... Instead of Billions of dollars of ad revenue going to facebook, it would then be going to the users. We'll straight-up bribe them to use it... Another edge. lol, wonder how that would work. I can do a lot of marketing... |

To put it kindly, there is a lack of genuine incentive to go with FTC over LTC beyond a quick buck on the exchange. This is true for most alt..alts. Personally, I don't understand the reasoning behind the platoon of advocates out there, but I respect that everyone's opinion is valid on these matters.
A lot of coins don't have community and developer support. FTC is pushing hard, both with press releases and creating tools to help businesses utilize their coins effectively. There is a huge difference between being proactive and passive. |

Im not taking a side on this, just getting everyones opinion  Then mine is that it will sit below LTC as much as LTC does to BTC. Ex. each one is about 3-4% of the one above it right now. I think as LTC gains on BTC, FTC will gain on LTC. |

Credit hours are a regulatory construct schools adhere to for billing purposes. Each one is supposed to be equivalent to 50 minutes of classroom time per week per credit hour.
TIL each credit is equal to about 50m a week. Oddly enough I did not know that, but looking at my previous schedule, it correlates! Wow, lol. |

Just noticed you implemented auto-switching/multiport. I've struggled on the technical side of re-routing miner traffic to specific pool clients for many hours (didn't help I was trying to do it in Ruby since I know zero Python). Now that you've got it working, I can forget that idea and use your service exclusively. Well done, worth donating for!
Just one question: what are you basing profitability on? Adjusted-for-stales like on coinchoose?
OK, 2 questions: Any plans to take it 1 step further and auto-convert all coin payouts to BTC (via trade APIs)? That would let miners be assured of actually taking advantage of the high profitability, not having to sell later risking a lower price. It could be an optional account setting, and would probably necessitate some fee to cover expenses/risks.
Both of these were answered previously: 1) Yes, stales are adjusted for (I brought up the 15% I get on some coins and he said it's dealt with already) 2) No plans for auto converting to BTC |

The goal, as far as I understand it, isn't to out-do LTC at all, but rather work alongside it. It's stated as being "worth" (theoretically) 1/4 of LTC. But it isn't trying to destroy LTC.

the hard part is the marketing. There were tons of social networks before Facebook (or even Myspace). It's the marketing that drew people in, as well as "the right timing." Can't argue there... It would be like marketing any new social app from scratch, but this community would give it an edge there I'd think. It should catch on fast with the cryptos, coders, privacy folks, and voluntaryists too. Anyone who wants far more privacy than facebook ever offered, and anyone who appreciates open source or P2P coding. But now's the time, is my point. All these advantages will be there next year, alas, this PRISM leak is fresh. Without a widespread adoption it won't move though. If you've tried explaining things like Bitcoin to "normal" people (not too technical) you've probably noticed how hard it is to get people to try something out. For us nerds, it's awesome. But what makes sites like FB good is that they cater to everyone; grandparents, young kids, etc. I'm not saying it's really a bad idea... I just don't see it becoming too big. Although it's possible that even a small market share could do a lot of good. |

So FTC has already been 51%ed? Because I saw people complaining about the FTC deposit to BTCE has not been confirmed even after 24 hrs.
(my theory): BTC-E has been trading on the old blockchain all day because they didn't update their FTC client (because nobody told them to), they probably have done a bunch of transactions and are now fucked and trying to figure a way out of it. How can we tell if a site is on the new blockchain yet? Ex. if we want to make a transfer to somewhere, do we have to contact the site owners before we do it? The client update didn't change the blockchain, all it did was add some checkpoints. Does this mean that any new transfers should go through without any issues? I thought the checkpoints were there because there was a fork and people were following the wrong path. |

you must convince me, or no BTC
If he can't do it can I have his BTC? |

Won't Texas A&M just charge 3 semesters of tuition for 18 months?
Depends on course load. I don't know what "18 months" means in course load. You can take anywhere from 1-24 credits a semester. So it depends on what courses they need. |

is it just_me or is there a large attempt to revive GLD lately  That's not punny. Your yolk is cornier than ethanol. Try to crack me up. Yes, I'm egging you on. |

There's no way to tell, as far as I know. Alright, thanks! They should have set up some type of port that's open or something that when you ping it tells the version. Sucks that some sites take days to respond and waiting it out can be a hassle. |

I am going to attend Texas A&M Uni for my master's . I am not from the US and I am unable to understand the credit system . I also need to calculate the exact fees that I will be paying. If I finish my masters in 18 months , how much will it cost ?
Alright, basically the number of "hours" is equal to the number of credits you earn. Ex. classes with labs (Chemistry, Biology, most Mathematics) will be 4 credits. Some classes (English, History, things without labs) will usually be 3 credits. Some will be as few as 1 or 2 like Physical Education. How fast you graduate will not change your hours or credits. You pay the same regardless. When you look at your classes you need, they will tell the number of credits. Add those up and multiply by the cost per credit/hour. |

Hi folks!
So basically, my bitcoin client is 139 days out of date. (That is, the last block it received is 139 days old).
How long will it take to resync?
Is there a faster way to go about this?
Thank you,
- M
All depends on your Internet/PC speed. For me to go from unsynced to synced on a fresh Litecoin client took me almost 20 hours, lol. |

Oh, me too, me too! Edit: I mean give me bitcoins! MILLIONS OF THEM! |

I will definitely pay out the other guy, but not johnblazer... I didn't appreciate his accusation of me being a scammer. If I am a scammer because I pay out everybody except ONE person, then so be it  lol when exactly did i accuse you of being a scammer? i accused you of it only after MULTIPLE posters notified you of your mistake, and instead of trying to check and make sure things were right, you simply continued on your blind assertion that you were only paying xxx people and not the others. i didn't call you a scammer initially. i pointed out your mistake, and others did too. you ignored everyone. what am i supposed to think at that point? and now to get out of paying, you just claim that i'm impatient or that you dont like my accusations. thats convenient obviously this is the internet. you will either make good on your bet or you will not. i cannot do anything. you have all the power, not me. if your choice is to back out, that's fine, but i have every right to correct other people who try to give you praise for "holding up your word" when up until the point when i made the accusation, you were in fact NOT holding up your word. I think the better way of handling this would be to have done it via PM. More personal and you could do a bit more back-and-forth there without public comments interfering. |
