People waste a lot more on websites than the cost of those scripts.

Part of the problem is that bitcoin has lost a lot of speculative popularity but as far as adoption #s it has grown.

Then you have other up and coming currencies that actually improve on bitcoin signficantly.  Bitcoin pays 10% to the miners who don't even improve the software.  So it has no chance for innovation and things needed to grow. 

I love the wallet's design.  600 followers organic is a pretty good start. 

More likely it is just the corruption caused by lobbyists from the corn industry.  I wouldn't read any more into it about government conspiracies.  Just assholes trying to make more money at the cost to humanity.

60% mortality rate means you're 4 times more likely to not die. 

Is the new strain more contagious ?  I always understood it was very difficult to spread from human to human ?

Yes, Bitcoin needs a media relations foundation to work on creating positive press relations.  It is hard to get past the basic problem of media needs a 'good story' to sell the cruft.

More Sean's Output, less Mt Goxs.

The NEM asset exchange deal isn't issuing tokens anymore?

Seems like you would need some sort of small town that is like an art community.  One of those places people move because it is cheap and other like minded folk end up there.  Then you might have widespread adoption.  Are there any famous libertarian small towns in the US like this ?

Does anyone know if 10 second block times is the record in crypto-currencies? 

So BTS-X has become liquid on bter and btc38.  Anyone have any thoughts on it ?  It appears the snapshots from February 28th have been made liquid using the internal backend on bter/btc38.  So you can deposit BTC to buy bts-x, but you can not currently withdraw it.  Is this true ?

You're right, Bitcoin doesn't need the added baggage.

Thats why we have altcoins/DACs.  Check out wiki.bitshares.org for a great example. 

It doesn't mean everything has a better decentralized implementation for that which is possible, but it is a lot of fun to push it !

Lets assume there are some people with multiple stakes.

They are likely to either dump most but a lot may be motivated marketers.  If they were motivated enough to sign up for all the BTT accounts then they will be motivated to help out NEM for the long run.  So while we may wish there were 0 sock puppets, they may not necessarily be as bad as people think.  They might also be more willing to give NEM out to friends etc.  It isn't 100% one sided.

Having 3000 stakeholders would be the best, but having 2000 might be 90% as good if those motivated to acquire stakes are motivated to continually support NEM over their stakes.  It is even possible that those sock puppets end up being more valued than the people who came on late once it had been determined to be a very successful coin.

When Dungeon Defenders 2 is released, I hope the devs make a DD2 coin. 

Bitshares and NXT are both exciting. I lean towards Dpos because the development is more open.  Bitshares also seems to have a fuller support for DACs.

What an ignorant poll.  No mention of protoshares and all the upcoming value add.

There aint no girlfriend like a bitcoin girlfriend.  Put her in the blockchain and forget about her and pull her out when you need her.

You need a working wallet that is tested.  I was hoping for direct fork from NXT.   Leverage what NXT has done.

Distribution of shares is important.  There really is no point in worrying about donations, wikipedi  a, advertising, gifts, etc until you have a working currency.  The earlier you get it going the sooner you can put it on an exchange and let the market further distribute NEM.  NXT has a lot of momentum, utilize it.  The longer you wait for NEM, the harder it will be to establish market share in cryptocoin market.  There will be a lot of shitty NXT clones and if you wait around too long it will be hard to differentiate NME from other NXT clones.

What are you trying to say ?

No exchanges ?  I read most of NEM thread on here and didn't see that.

I thought it was a list of duplicate hashes, with 1 of the 2 people (2nd to post?) listed.  You are going to still need a way to check who owns the hash.  To check who owns hash, you need a process.  Then you can start knowing with authority which of a duplicate hash poster is fraudalent and which is not.

You said to comment on the doc.  I don't understand what that accomplishes ?  Anyone can comment on the doc ?  

We need a process to say "I sent the money, not that guy, take him off".  

Oh well, I can wait patiently.

If you were to make assumption that first person to post duplicate hash is the fraudalent and make it default, you'd likely decrease your workload.  I doubt many people tried posting duplicate hashes after they had been posted, but who knows.
