I'm still a fervent believer that Bitcoin is the catalyst for the next big thing. I don't concern myself with chasing the idea of the next big thing, but rather use what is big now to project where we'll be and what needs there are that must be met.

The fact you had to mine to earn coins and that became the basis for pseudo-anonymous transaction and the ultimate propagation of cryptocurrency, was the true innovation Bitcoin brought. Now, with ICOs, buzzwords, pump-and-dumps, and a new exchange every Tuesday, I feel like that sentiment has been washed.

The economic model of Bitcoin - to create artificial scarcity over time in addition to short-term supply control - was an incredible thought at the time. How do we move back to this model without the cancer of speculation?
That is expected to come and flood in cryptocurrency world, bitcoin is the very first cryptocurrency that made it as a great example or idea for the creation of other versions, system, usage, and features of coins or ICO's with the help of blockchain technology, you cannot stop nor prevent them from the creation of such things because we have our own ideas and motives in all things and there is no excuse for crypto to go for different paths whether it is beneficial to bitcoin or not.

That's well put. We can't control the populus but at least fueling the innovation with unargued direction... that's the least we could accomplish.

We have lost that opportunity to grow ourselves in the field of crypto currency  where the real agenda was

pseudo-anonymous transaction and the ultimate propagation of cryptocurrency,
, however I believe that with governments interfering more and more into the cryptos the Devs will have to focus on the agenda that it was made for.

Why? Because I believe that Devs or the committee of bitcoin or whatever they are I don't know will see their asses stuck badly into trouble. If they don't show up with some good applications soon and if crypto gets dark mark of stuff like laundering and terrorism then it's going down for sure.

But on the current line, everyone is hunting the bitcoin for money, getting rich in short time and for a Ferrari (dam it). Everyone has already misguided the whole thing and there is surely no come back from this mess unless and until some one takes this seriously.

I loved the moon lambs memes for a time, but now there is an incredible influx of normal people flooding the market with obscenity - and not the fun type. That's actually why I've come here and finally made an account after lurking for almost 4 years... something needs to be done to take the initial concept Satoshi gave us and to throw it into overdrive. Bitcoin was a catalyst - the spark igniting the altcoin fire - and now we have to have trusted & consenting individuals leading the masses of contributors, instead of infighting.

I've loved Bitcoin from the start and still do, but like many others the infighting and forks and separation... we all know a house divided cannot stand.

I'm c urious as to how others are handling the mov ement of crypto from w  allet to c a sh. Let's AVOID posting direct sources and simply hint at what you're doing to prepare for the ((eye are ess)) shitstorm.

I've got w a r m places in mind, but not your c o n ventional cup of tea Smiley

Are we looking at this in the right way? Is Bitcoin meant to be built up and perfected or is it simply a catalyst?
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcloud 2.0 - BTDX - PoS3 - Newest Masternode Core 12.2 - Quark on: January 06, 2018, 05:39:56 AM
I'd like to suggest to update 'social' news on https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcloud/#social if it's possible for dev or admin.
I think it's very sad BitCloud twitter is fully functional with news, same discord channel where you can find some news about hypersync protocol and talk to devs, and the coinmarketcap site has news from Sep 7, 2016 and what more - the message and link points to the old coin version to yobit (BTD) . I believe it might confuse some people while considering to buy this coin.

So the dev team is still active? I haven't looked much into this but I was interested in mining. Are there any resources on how to mine BTDX?
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Creating a Crypto / Forking Git & Building on: January 01, 2018, 07:38:43 PM
I was wondering if there are any current / updated resources for creating a cryptocurrency / forking a git and building on top, or just plain direction on how to contribute. I've got a background in C++/Python and have followed crypto from an investor POV for several years but never took a stab at actually contributing.

I'm mainly interested in getting to know the environment better and have attempted a CryptoNote / CryptoNight build without success. I've got an EC2 loaded up but none of the packages are installing (assuming they're outdated now). Is there any detailed walkthrough for this material?

Thanks!

Let me start off by saying there is an ocean of coins out there. A lot of then provide privacy, anonymity, and some decent ones (like XMR, forked from CN/BCN) have great potential but huge scaling issues.


What are challenges in the privacy coin landscape you'd like to see improved in a better coin OR current coin?



One of mine is a steady supply -- total cap, not to large (COLX) and not too small (ZCL).
