Feel free to not mine it, more for us

Whatever dude... if I was going to launch a coin, I'll create a separate account for my coin too!

No way I would let people harass me on my personal forum account.

This is good business practice to separate user account from Dev/Coin account.

no coingen

That's a little harsh there, pal.  Bob seems nice enough, leave him alone.

But that has already been done.

There is no point churning out more and more and more variations on "the wheel". What is needed is uses for wheels. Products you can buy, services you can use, merged mining pools that let them all work together and so on and so on and so on.

What needs doing now is securing any coins that can be secured, and building services for them and making products available for sale denominated in them and so on.

Possibly if Litecoin and DOGE were made able to be merged mined together scrypt might maybe be salvage-able, if not oh well too bad but there are still ten coins that can be merged mined together, using SHA256 ASICs so we can at least maybe hope to secure ten chains. Maybe. Well maybe at least a few of them anyway.

What would really help would be for someone to build a free open source merged mining pool package, so that merged mining could be come widespread due to a plethora of pools for doing it appearing...

Well if you want to start from scratch, don't start from blockchain based cryptocoins, because that is so far from scratch it is just garbage garbage garbage.

Do something totally from scratch for a coin that someone - so called Satoshi Nakamoto, apparently - did make from scratch.

A whole new service or application or something from scratch for the coin that was itself a from scratch coin...

Years ago people wanted me to make currencies for them, but as we keep seeing over and over again, blockchains are insanely expensive to secure, hardly any of them are anywhere close to secure. So I had them all move over to Open Transactions, a system I have for years been working on helping the guy who built it from scratch get it ready for "prime time" aka "for grandma"...

"From scratch" nowadays for blockchains means, basically, "starting with more computing power than everyone else on the planet all put together". So basically it means first lets design a new algorithm and an ASIC to do that algorithm, then build a world class datacentre full of such ASICs and fill Future Shop, The Source, Walmart and so on full of consumer miners, so on launch day we can turn on at least one huge datacentre per continent plus have that still be less hashing power than all the units the Walmarts etc have customers waiting all night for the midnight hour to buy...

I didn't say no-one else does.

Basically who-ever it is that you are not / do not have needs salary. Whatever you yourself are - the founder - doesn't need a salary because they are the idea person whose idea is so great in their own eyes that they are willing to take a year or few living on Ramen sleeping under bridges to spare every penny they have to hire who-ever they need to do the parts they cannot do themselves...

Or if they do need a salary, they get a job, and work on their idea the other 16 hours of each day except the days they collapse a few hours into sleep.

Well if bitcoins aren't worth it you might as well quit. Especially with them being still crazy low in price right now which makes now a great time to buy in and start marketing them.

You'll almost certainly get at least a doubling of value free, even if your own marketing efforts are worthless. But if you are a great marketer surely you can far more than double their value?

It is not ALL it takes, but it beats dickhead ideas every time.

IF you ONLY have so called "ideas", like pretty much all dicks do, then go get something else to bring to the table, as we are all drowning in dicks' ideas already.

The dick I was responding to has only ideas it seems, no mention of salaries to pay developers, nor of hundreds of thousands of responsive people on their mailing lists, dick all other than dickhead ideas...

Heck even dickhead graphic-designers at least have huge portfolios of pre-made "creative" (ads, banners, and so on and so on and so on), not just "ideas"...

And marketers have vast mailing-lists, so can easily fill whole new mailing lists of "waiting list customers" responding to their ads gettign on a mailing list to be informed as soon as the exciting new product is ready.

The graphic designer types can follow the market type approach since if their graphics are good the capture pages they design to capure people onto their waiting lists / interested customer lists should work well - and if not maybe the graphics are not actually as compelling as they think.

Same for an awesome names. If it is compelling using it on capture pages should result in vast mailing lists of people interested in details of how to buy the product.

Heck if a name is truly awesome just the fact that you own the dot com, dot org, dot net, and dozens of national and subject-targeted domains can pretty much sew up the trademark so anyone wanting to use it is gonna have to come to you. So even just bringing a few dozen of the specific domains the name evokes is something good that anyone can easily bring to the table if their "idea" is really their idea not one domain investors already thought of and bought up waiting for someone to come up with a website worth putting on the domains.

Ideas are garbage. Mailing lists full of people eager to buy an actual product the idea relates to are much better, as are actual white-papers and code, or even just competitive hourly or salary pay rates to hire programmers/developers...

If you have all that then you don't need a dev, you just need to pick wisely which coin - hopefully one that has a lot of really good devs - to market.

Basically a trade-off of the most and best devs versus the problem that the coin all the best devs are working on is probably worth quite a bit per coin already thus might be harder to multiply in value with your limited marketing resources.

So step down from the coin with the most and best devs and longest most successful history of fixing problems, step by step, until you find one that your limited abilities can actually hope to seriously improve the value of. That is to say, find the best devteam you can subject to the limitation of your ability to multiply the value of the coin(s) those devs are developing/maintaining/improving.

The good devs are already hard at work, it is maybe you marketers who are goofing off, running around trying to distract devs or lure crappy devs into stupid hairbrained ideas instead of settling down to the real work of actually marketing what real devs have already developed and are continuing to develop/maintain/improve.

Plenty of dicks have ideas. If all you are bringing to the table are ideas maybe you should get a day job and save up some capital so you can bring something actually useful (capital) to the table...

I'm trying to put together a team to create a real project, and some dick keeps arguing that I should just release my idea and let the community do it.

I don't understand that logic, because there a ton of assholes out there waiting to make pump and dumps.


Anyone interested in being a part of a REAL team with a REAL idea, please message me with what skills you bring to the table.

Canadian and US residents preferred, as I would like to be able to have a face to face interactions at some point, but all are welcome to contact.

Store front won't open for 2 weeks to allow the coin to settle and work out the development kinks.  The reason you would buy from us is because we will be selling around $50 cheaper than any of the major stores due to our almost nonexistent overhead costs.
