Basing Venezuelan salaries on the Petro will stabilize people's buying power; also, there will be stability in product sales. Speculation has ended, which helps all Venezuelans without distinction!

Oh my God your president is NUTS! The Petro has a value of ZERO! He apparently also doesn't realize that it can be traded on exchanges other than those controlled by the state. There's no way of artificially maintaining its price. The only thing it has over the bolivar is that it can't be printed into worthlessness.

He still never told anybody that you need to also purchase XEM in order to actually move PTR. Nor does it say this anywhere on the website or the white paper.

With over US$5 billion sold during the presale, the president also thanked Russian firm Nem

There's no record of any number of presales coming close to $5 billion on the blockchain, its closer to somewhere between $200k and $300k.

Plus there's 2 things wrong with that sentence: NEM isn't Russian, nor is it a "firm."

Though I can't say with 100% certainty, this is shaping up to be the biggest ICO scam of all-time, by far!

Actually its "I believe I will change in the near future."

But the guy misspelled the word Merit when it is written next to every single post on the forum. He doesn't stand a chance.

Hey show some respect. You're talking to a doctor. He's the original Dr. Santo, thus the "1" at the end of his name.

This might be my favorite thread of all-time.

I'll take it you don't know what a newb shill is. Its somebody with little experience who flings themselves into battle to be killed, often achieving very limited or no success. This newb just killed their credibility on the forum, as you just killed yours.

Stunning, poetic imagery. Also spot on. The man is a fucking sociopath and won't stop until people call him God.

His apology/non-apology for not being Satoshi was brilliant.

I believed that I could do this. I believed that I could put the years of anonymity and hiding behind me. But, as the events of this week unfolded and I prepared to publish the proof of access to the earliest keys, I broke. I do not have the courage. I cannot.

When the rumors began, my qualifications and character were attacked. When those allegations were proven false, new allegations have already begun. I know now that I am not strong enough for this.

I know that this weakness will cause great damage to those that have supported me, and particularly to Jon Matonis and Gavin Andresen. I can only hope that their honour and credibility is not irreparably tainted by my actions. They were not deceived, but I know that the world will never believe that now. I can only say I’m sorry.

What a right cunt.

Yes. Just send 1 BTC to this address to join:

Lol but really you're absolutely correct.

Altcoin movement is absolutely dictated by bitcoin movement. When BTC moves up, alts move up. When BTC moves down, alts move down.

This is because BTC is the least risky of all coins. A decreasing BTC dominance means crypto investor appetite for risk is increasing. An increasing BTC dominance means investor appetite for risk is decreasing.

One of his strengths is "making money out of nothing," sounds like a bitcoiner if I ever heard one.

The HoweyCoins thread is still attracting a lot of solid gold.


"the Tên dự án" means "the project name" in Vietnamese, it was obviously supposed to be (in brackets) and changed to match the ICO.

Here's another use of it, for something called "phenomenal network":


Then again on something called "PRiVCY":


Note the first guy is Vietnamese and the 3rd guy is Russian, perhaps they're getting it from a website they both visit.

But doing a copy-and-paste comment for a fictional ICO... I'm simply astounded.

I know. I'm telling you for sure. There will be no miracle. The coin produced nothing. It is a collapsed Ponzi scheme. What's somebody gonna do? Pick the Ponzi scheme back up, dust if off and raise it from the dead? It's still a Ponzi scheme. A revamped pile of horseshit is still a pile of horseshit.

I like it but I'm not spending any buying shit from other dimensions without knowing how the shipping works.

I would think that once fully-capable quantum computers are a real thing it might put BTC's security at risk, meaning we'd have to develop a quantum-proof coin (I remember seeing the term "quantum resistant" thrown around by some other coins but it sounds like utter horseshit).

yep. the patent is necessary because I'm building an ICO based around it. And if you believe that I have some HoweyCoins to sell you!

Yes you are correct about the +1. And if you take into consideration the flood of new accounts that are made here every day then the average is closer to 1 than 100. Regardless, you're still #2. But to show you that its value isn't absolute about anything, Satoshi is #5 and Hal Finney is #18!

Clearly you don't understand the full picture, because nobody paid anybody for this "advertisement."


How do you infer this as "pushing Security Tokens"?

Let's not forget dude that the NSA also developed SHA technology.

This is from an interesting paper on SHA.

The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) was developed by the NIST in association with the
NSA and first published in May 1993 as the Secure Hash Standard. The first revision to
this algorithm was published in 1995 due to a unpublished flaw found, and was called
SHA-1. The first version, later dubbed SHA-0, was withdrawn by the NSA. The SHA
hash function is similar to the MD4 hash function, but adds some complexity to the
algorithm and the block size used was changed. SHA was originally intended as part
of the Digital Signature Standard (DSS), a scheme used for signing data and needed a
hash function to do so.

If the original SHA had flaws, its theoretically possible SHA-256 also has flaws, though its highly unlikely since none of the world's best cryptographers have yet identified them.

Its pretty hampered. My Coinbase account was shut down 1 or 2 years ago because of Hawaii's stupid legislation saying that exchanges operating there had to have an equal amount of cash on reserve as they did cryptocurrency.

There are two semi-functional bitcoin ATMs. One is in a vape shop I think. But nobody accepts bitcoin for anything, besides a couple of hotels that use BitPay (on Kauai and the Big Island).

What's weird is Google Trends says more searches for bitcoin come from Hawaii than any other state. People there really like to gamble, so I think they are mostly interested in it as an investment opportunity.

I am in the midst of the patent process for said formula but judging by the majority of commenters I'm sure its completely safe here. You're not going to be impressed. But the formula is this:

(Merit + 1) / Posts x Activity = Worthiness Score

I've found it doesn't work for certain categories of posters, but the average is about 100. I think I'll do a Meta thread about it eventually.

Fuck yeah its good!


 


 

What could he possibly be reserving it for? I hope we find out soon.

You do realize there's no actual HoweyCoin, right?

I wouldn't say they're "pushing" the concept. They're pretty much shitting on all ICOs.

Let's face it: most ICOs are just money grabs and deserve to be shat upon.

The government is doing is duty by performing a public service, just using a rare display of high-minded humor, which seems to be going over at least 50% of everybody's heads. That's why its fascinatingly funny to people like me.


Yeah I agree with you, most of the generic shitposts here are exactly what you described. BTW, you have some interesting stats for your profile. I came up with a simple formula to help me decide the likely worthiness of somebody's posts, and out of 30+ forum members I generated it for, your profile is #2, second only to Theymos.
