I thought this project was dead. It is a good idea that I could get behind.
Bitnation was conceived in summer 2014, after about 10 years of background work by Susanne. The first attempt at funding in Oct 10, 2014 (coincidentally the birthday of Crypto Kingdom) was damaged heavily by internal disagreements about governance. In the end, only a meager amount of approx $20,000 was raised, and 2 formerly key people from the team left. Their attempt to fork this open source project was however not successful, so that branch died. The original Bitnation is well alive, and has almost 300 tokenholders and a community of more than 100 active contributors. The aim of the round that is in negotiation, would be to increase both numbers, finalize the development of Pangea governance platform and move Bitnation to a whole new stage. Thanks for the quick refresher. I hope this project gets going. I dream of a future with no countries or governments. It is a pipedream, but this may be a step in that direction. Uniting the world as one republic which is governed by the people would be a good step towards that. People often wonder how anarchy would work, most think it is impossible, but this may be a solution to enlightening people that anarchy is possible.

Call me naive, but I am not worried about a black swan incident. I recently started using Bitshares' decentralized for all my trading for the smartassets that have volume or pricefeeds (minus the coins that aren't trading on there that I am also interested in.) I am 50% in Bitcoin 25% in Silver and 25% in Gold.
I am bearish on BTS at the moment, but think it has great potential as a decentralized derivative exchange. Once adoption and thus volume picks up it will be quite wonderful. The in-wallet gateways are a very nice addition.

This coin interests me. Kudos on doing something different. You say Raiblocks is efficient due to the block lattice concept. Have you done any tests as far as how many transactions per second it might be able to handle?

I thought you wanted this coin to be "mainstream"... why the special characters in the names that are hard for people to type?
That is only visual for a potential logo, using the currency symbol which can be typed by those who have an incentive to do so, e.g. merchants or using a forum where the BTC is available via one-click from the user interface. Sometimes you may see Bitcoin written as BTCitcoin or " BTC Bitcoin" then merchants sometimes quote prices using the BTC instead of writing "bitcoins". Of course when any one wants to ( quickly instead of googling for the special symbol) type the name, they can use the keys available on their keyboard, e.g. vibes instead of viᖚes. Oh OK, carry on then. I suggest you not waste too much more time on the name though. I think it's more important to focus on the tech as you can always change the name later.

Spare me the lecture buddy.
I've asked legitimate questions that need to be addressed.
We've been down this road where you play the victim or make things out to be something they aren't. Let's deal in facts.
What you call playing the victim or making things out to be something they aren't I call telling the honest truth. Then again, I prefer to deal in reality. Maybe you can teach us peasants how to be omniscient like you when provided incomplete information. I have posted my questions/concerns and issues above.
Yes you did, but the problem is the way you did so. It looks more like accusatory propaganda than actual questions that wanted legit answers. The fact you copy and pasted your messages on both forums doesn't help any, considering he likely doesn't know this thread exists and will not reply here. That, along with the fact you've been shilling for Montero for quite some time now makes it look like propoganda. Now please tone down your condescending tone. Thanks Edit: Please try to stop the underhanded insults okay? Thanks. I'm not a child no matter how much you imply I am. The term treat others as you would like to be treated applies here. You always like to have the last word in our arguments so you can feel like you "won" the argument, so as always I will let you have the last word. I assume you will post some bs to spin the situation how you want others to perceive it, and if I keep responding we will be stuck in a never ending loop. Peace out.

You have a problem with my asking legitimate questions?
It looks more like a smear campaign than asking legitimate questions, especially considering the ALT coin you've been shilling for lately. If you want truly want an answer to your legitimate questions I suggest you tone it down a little bit and ask them like an adult would. IE:

With all due respect... I suggest you burn the whole idea of Digital Credits.

Historically IPO coins are dumped after the initial software release. I would be shocked if Ethereum didn't follow down the same path.
Even the more innovative and ambitious IPO coins were dumped after their initial release. I do not think it will have any matter as to the long term success of the coin, but I am bearish at the moment.
The only situation I can see Ethereum not being dumped is if Bitcoin and alt crypto currencies happen to go on a bull run in the near to immediate future.

Netcash is good to go.
+1 It sounds less geeky than Netcode. I still like Ion tho...

Sounds like a scam to me... but to be fair, I said that about Nxt early on too. Only time will tell, but I certainly wouldn't be an early investor in this.

Off the top of my head... (I'm probably forgetting a few)... mostly in order of most liked to least liked...
I am the most excited about the future of:
Bitcoin, King of cryptocurrencies Bitshares, Decentralized exchange Ethereum, Decentralized programming language Maidsafe/Storjcoin X, Decentralized file storage and web hosting Nxt, A lot of innovations and features Ripple/Stellar, Seamlessly combines FIAT and multiple Cryptocurrency transactions Monero/Boolberry/Aeon, Anonymous transactions Supernet, The first multi-cryptocurrency collaboration which combines features of Cryptocurrencies VPNCoin, Decentralized VPNs GenesysCoin/Spells Of Genesis, Decentralized gaming concepts GridCoin, The only useful PoW algorithm (useful to society at large rather than securing a block chain) Burst/MyriadCoin, Innovative PoW consensus algorithms Dash, Despite the initial distribution they are trying a lot of new and interesting things
I haven't paid too much attention to newer alt coins though, so there are probably some newer ones I'm missing that I would likely suggest if I knew of their existence. The alt coin space is fast developing and it's hard to keep up.

I have watched you post so much stupid shit around here it's not even funny. You are constantly *trying (and failing) to make pitiful excuses for scammy bullshit. give it up Catp. Failtrain Bad is bad ..it's can't be justified you know fuck all sweet heart. and your comment is a load of bullshit.. where do i start showing you how everything you said is wrong ? My point was valid. There is a right way to do IPOs and a wrong way to do IPOs (and a right/wrong way to follow through afterwards), just as there is a right way to launch a PoW coin and a wrong way to launch a PoW coin. You can't have your cake and eat it too, you shouldn't set a double standard. If all IPOs are scams because some IPOs are/were scams, then all PoW coins are scams because some PoW coins are/were scams. PoW coins should therefore be banned from this web site for the greater good according to 50% of voters. that is like saying there is a right way to run a ponzi scheme and a wrong way.. like i said you keep trying.. and failing LOL nice try though Catp. Failtrain ahahha next your going to try and justify shit coins by telling us all they attract *new users PS: No where does it say that if IPO's are bad that automatically makes POW coins good. You completely and utterly missed the point sweet heart. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POW COINS Explain to me your blanket reasoning as to why all IPOs are scams, and using the same reasoning I will ascertain that all PoW coins are scams using the same logic. All crypto currencies are scams using your flawed logic and stereotyping. Unless of course you judge PoW coins v IPO coins using a double standard. In that case I have nothing further to say to you on this topic. You would never do that to support your own agenda, would you?

If all Ipo coins are scams because one Ipo coin's developer can assign a percentage of tokens to himself for free, then all Pow coins are also scams because one Pow coin's developer can premine a percentage of tokens for free.
If all Ipo coins are scams because a rich person can buy a large percentage of the tokens during the Ipo, then all Pow coins are also scams because a rich person can buy a lot of powerful mining hardware and mine a large percentage of the tokens.
If all Ipo coins are scams because one Ipo coin ended up being a scam, then all Pow coins are scams because there have been several Pow coins that ended in scam accusations.
If all Ipo coins are scams because a small number of people invested in a certain Ipo coin's Ipo, then all Pow coins are scams because one coin was mined by few people at its inception.
Are you starting to see the problem with stereotyping all IPO coins?

Delegated Proof of Stake (Bitshares etc.) has this ability. It works a little differently though, transaction fees are destroyed and so your portion of the pie increases as fees are destroyed. Thus, you can keep your funds offline on a cold wallet and still benefit from the destruction of transaction fees.

CoinHoarder, agreed about experimentation is necessary.
Investors need to be realistic though on moving past the cacophony of features laboratory to the breakthrough synergism that will propel new user markets.
I think we are too eager to wet our pants on featuritis tech envy.
I agree. Most ALT coins will end up being horrible investments in the long run. However, I think there are a few "pump cycles" left in them... as soon as Bitcoin rebounds then you will see a large influx of new users much like the previous bull markets. These guys won't have the in depth knowledge of all of the cryptocurrencies like we have. Thus, they will buy anything they read or hear is the next best thing like a bunch of sheep. All ALT coin bagholders will come out of the woodwork and put on their best song and dance for the newcomers. I think most major ALT coins will see profits during this rebound. Probably some will make more profit than others, but I really don't see anything wrong with investing in most of the major ALT coin players at this point as far as a 1 to 3 year investment (or whenever the next bull market starts.) Beyond a few years the water gets really murky.
