1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] CoinsOpen.com - Fiat-Tokens P2P Exchange | No Verification | Low fees on: October 20, 2017, 07:13:35 PM
I have visited the coinsopen.com website and it says that every ERC20 coin will be listed on the exchange that applies to it. Is this a way to show ur suport to every token or is it to get as much as possible volume to get more "fee payment" as dividend on your COT tokens?


Hi! We think that the cryptoexchange shall be open and censorship-free. If a coin is bad or scammy than it simply won't be traded and will be swept away by our automatic rating system. But every coin should be allowed to the exchange - hence the name coinsopen.

Best, Ian
That is an prety cool idea, an exchange where every token gets a chance to proove theirself. These are all ERC20 tokens right? So why is the name coinsopen and not tokensopen?

LUL . When you want to create something you can put a name whatever you want , i think that it sounds cool coinsopen and yes they are erc20tokens

Cool, privately buying ether is hard, the exchange itself works as expected.

I kinda understand the privacy concern of developers here.

is it possible to participate in the ico anonymously? will there be any whitelist and what if use vpn?

Nice video posted by Evan Volk here : https://youtu.be/BNI_nVYm-Ts

Good project , I have never seen a good idea in crypto like this Smiley . I will do my best and i will try as more I can to buy all tokens from pre-ICO so I can have a good advantage Smiley

Just 2 members in the ico team ? Is there any community manager or something like that?
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: RAWX altcoin exchange (former mcxNOW) | LAUNCHED ON AUGUST 7 on: August 08, 2016, 06:25:39 AM
When mcxnow closed I thought realsolid bought back all the mcxshares, did he not?  So the only people that still had shares before the open were those few people who didn't log into mcxnow for several months after it closed to withdraw their money.  So basically almost no one except the owner of the site has any rawx tokens at all and he is the one setting the price.  Can you correct me if I am wrong?

How can we be confident that you are more secure than Bitfinex, Cryptsy, Mtgox, or any of the other exchanges that have been hacked and had their BTC stolen?  You can be certain that the greatest hackers in the world in the US, China, Russia, and anywhere else will eventually target your exchange if there is enough volume and enough monetary incentive to do so.  Are you prepared to secure your exchange against the greatest hackers in the world?  It seems to me that you more or less are just a regular guy starting an exchange and, no offense, but you are no Vitalik Buterin.  What makes you different from Bitfinex?  Who are you hiring to provide security?  It would seem that a modern day exchange would need a whole team of MIT graduates and security specialists to manage, and detect security threats, etc...  When I worked at LANL there was 10,000 attempted security breaches EVERY DAY.  But it seems you are just one guy who says he has gone through the code "line by line" and has decided to resurrect an old exchange.  If you look at some of these new IPO's coming out, you see that they are professionally done.  It shows a team of developers with their pictures and credentials, etc...  Even so, look at what happened with the ETH DAO!  There is a new hack and BTC stolen every week.  What do you say to give confidence to your users that your exchange is secure?

Some of us loved the old mcxnow, but now it has been moved to this new web interface and I just don't see what you offer over other established exchanges, except the benefit of not dealing with USD or hard currency, which allows users to remain anonymous.  I think you would have to be mad to deposit BTC in this exchange.  People never learn their lessons.  This is disaster waiting to happen!

After the MtGox disaster, which took 50K of mine, I reviewed my investments carefully.  I had a lot of money at Bitfinex and was earning great interest in the loaning feature back in the day, but when I decided to do more research into the management, I quickly withdrew all of my money and never looked back.  I had no confidence in the guy running Bitfinex.  Look what happened!  This whole situation feels eerily similar.  I want very badly to have confidence in this venture but I don't!

Please don't take this as a negative attack.  I respect that you have a vision and are trying to accomplish something great, I just don't have much confidence yet in your ability to secure it.

As they say with gold, "if you don't hold it, you don't own it".

Multiple lawsuits coming.  If they think they can just spread the losses and continue business as usual, I have a bridge to sell them in China.  
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bitfinex legal obligations to users on: August 03, 2016, 03:32:24 AM
They cannot cover the amount stolen, therefore they are bankrupt.  Like mtgox, the loss will be spread across all accounts regardless of your holdings on bitfinex.  A huge chuck will be taken out for legal fees also, and like gox it will be years before it all is resolved and anyone gets anything back at all.  Basically, if you had an account at bitfinex, you got goxed.

I am glad to hear that it is on the radar long term but as far as it creating a higher barrier to entry, I believe this is inaccurate conjecture and I respectfully disagree.  There is a huge underground black market begging for it.  I wish I could have it every time I pay for something on alphabay.  I don't think you give users enough credit for not being too stupid to appreciate it.  Everyone on darknet hates arbitration and multisig.  Just ask.  Vendor rating is everything there.  Dde almost eliminates the need for vendor ratings.

Here you go, gentlemen.  Syscoin seems to have a large edge on the race for a decentralized market mainly due to the fact that everyone else sucks:

Bitbay:  Closed source!  Moderated!  Enough said!

Axis Mundi:  Linux only.  I really don't have the patience to get this crap to work but I am no Linux guru.  This marketplace has no chance of ever going mainstreem with average Joe.  Has arbitrated crap-escrow.

NXT Freemarket:  Massive pre-issued coin, will never use on principle alone, closed source at launch, NXT users can go f@ck themselves, desktop version not working due to "changes in NXT", web version not working either.  Has arbitrated crap-escrow.  

Openbazaar:  Not anonymous.  Does not work over Tor.  Automatically eliminated from consideration.

Bitmarkets:  2-party escrow, works over TOR, but who cares, its OSX.  Automatically eliminated from consideration.

Shadowcash:  Has been de-anonymized in the past but fixed the bug... growing pains?  lead dev doesn't seem very intelligent, probably why they still have nothing workable after 2 years?  Might have potential, the only other possible competitor to Syscoin IMO but I have yet to actually see anything.  Shadowmarket to be release by the end of 2016?  Doubt it.  Has superior 2-Person escrow.  Is the core dev really a 14 year old freckle-faced fat kid???




12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ⚒ Syscoin - LIVE Decentralized Marketplace, Encrypted Messaging, Escrow & more ☍ on: August 02, 2016, 01:28:14 AM
This escrow system sucks.  Double-deposit 2-person escrow is superior and is the future.  Bitbay, Shadowcash, and Bitmarkets at least have this much right (I think those three will use it?).  I really can't comprehend how you guys ever thought this was the best option.  Seems almost common sense to me.

There's going to be a lawsuit at some point and it will have merit.

Julian, can you give a link that identifies you?  I might of missed it but so far all I have is that your name is Julian and you are from Germany.

16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Swiss Contract Law on: June 20, 2016, 03:08:42 AM
Swiss Contract law requires:

1)  Consent of the parties:  Acceptance by both parties
2)  No Negative elements:  Impossibility and Illegality (neither of these apply)
3)  Conclusion of contract by representatives:  Both parties accepted the contract on their own behalf or are valid representatives of the contractual party.
4)  Elements of Interpretation:  Does not include Fraud, Duress, etc...
5)  Breach of Contract:  Damages as a general remedy for a breach. :The general rule is that a party to a contract not performing it correctly, as it is written, must pay damages compensating the failure of performance or its imperfections.

There is no requirement of consideration.  Most of the wording in Swiss contract law is written to protect the party agreeing to the contract, not the entity that writes the contract, for obvious reasons.

The irony in all this is that Vitalik is the one, by Swiss law, that could be sued for breach of contract. 

You can't write an unprofitable smart contract, then turn around and claim theft when someone takes the other end of the contract and takes all your money.  Think about how ridiculous that sounds.  Any attempt to undo or rewrite the contract is a breach of contract by Swiss law.

The whole idea of a smart contract is that it inherently holds all of the requirements of a legal contract, provides security superior to traditional contract law, and once entered, it cannot be undone.  All of these characteristics of a smart contract have been espoused by Vitalik himself and his own words will be used against him when he is sued in court. 
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Letter from DAO Attacker on: June 18, 2016, 02:34:56 PM
If he was smart he would get with the major exchanges trading ETH and offer them 1 million USD equivalent each to reject the fork.  The exchanges will decide everything, not the miners, exchanges are the only place to make money with ETH.  Miners go to the exchanges to move profits.  The miners won't move to the new fork if the exchanges are still on the old fork.

The fork will fail anyways.  Who in their right mind would move to the new fork?  Would you?  Anyone with any common sense would stand by to see which fork wins before moving their money over, which means no one would move to the new fork.

Vitalik is taking a huge risk here because if he does this then not only does he have to put up a legal defense to keep the funds he stole, but he will also be personally liable in a court of law - he already withdrew 25% of his ETH a while back, he is now risking his personal fortune when he will be sued by the "hacker".  The third consequence is that ETH is no longer viable for the functions it was designed for.  It becomes a reversible-contract system.  It may still go up at some point, but it will be by speculation and not by viability.  People should be outraged by what they are trying to do here.  That alone should be enough for you to dump this piece of crap ETH.  

No one in their right mind should be holding ETH through this.  All the major technical supports have been broken and there is no telling how far the price will fall.  I couldn't believe I was able to sell my ETH so high yesterday.  These markets are filled with children with dollar signs in their eyes.  Pure speculation.  

18  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: MtGox Bankruptcy Claim via Kraken - Memories? on: April 27, 2015, 01:26:16 AM
I'm currently waiting on verification through Kraken.  I imagine that a lot of people are going to get screwed (more) by this whole mess.  For example, I do not have a residential address.  I am homeless by definition.  I live in a tent full-time and make a living prospecting for gold in the northern California mountains.  My only address is a PO box.  Any financial institution will not accept a PO box as proof-of-address.  So what am I to do?  Also, my yubikey is in storage about a 23 hour drive away.  Is it necessary to have my Yubikey serial number when I submit my claim???  Who in the world can answer these questions?...

Also, I had a large balance of USD when the theft took place.  Mtgox said nothing was wrong and I ended up buying bitcoin when the price fell.  Now I am stuck claiming what I had when Mtgox shut things down rather than what I had when the theft took place.  They investigating entity failed to take this into account.  Also, there was a large number of USD withdrawals by Karpeles and other insiders after everything was shut down.  For several weeks afterwords!!!  This is criminal.  But no one is going after these criminals, they are even asking for Karpeles to help!  What a joke this is.  I 100% support the bitcoin bounty that is out for the assassination of that fat f@ck.

What did Kraken require regarding identification?  Did you have to fax a copy of your identification?  What docs did they require regarding proving your residency?

I know that Kraken is not licensed as a currency exchange in California and a number of other states.  No one in most states can get past level one verification the last time I heard, due to these licensing problems-- I don't know how this affects the claim process.
20  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Mt. Gox Knew It Was Selling Phantom Bitcoin 2 Weeks Before Collapse on: March 18, 2014, 06:24:15 PM
That still doesn't account for the withdrawals that occurred after the hack was announced.  Certain people got their money out.
