Pardon the stripping of your formatting, but it was too distracting.

How about releasing your main account first instead of hiding behind a alt account? Seems your quite familiar with the forum and all.
I have been trading BTC/Alts for a little over a year as I think they are excellent learning/teaching tool. I currently manage a small fund and also run a small mining operation. I have been around for a while, but just as a lurker. This thread is the first time I have actually posted on this forum. I however am flattered that you think otherwise.

How can we ensure your voting system is legit and you will post the results right away instead of later or posting fake coin as the next coin when you already have bought in earlier?
There is no way, or at least no easy way of ensuring this, but I feel you may be missing the point. I am not attempting to democratize or decentralize the decision to pump a coin. If I were interested in what that, I would create an exchange. This is essentially what you are describing. I am merely crowd-sourcing my decision because I don't want to look through hundreds of coins myself to choose which one looks the best. And of course to get the community involved with the decisions.

Good idea! Give them a voting system, let them believe they have a choice in what is being pumped! The only person I see profiting out of all this is you.
This might be true if we were talking about the actual stock markets where manipulation happens on a nanosecond scale, however we are not. Alt-coin bubbles historically last days. Assuming this site took off and it was actually able to effect markets (which is a big assumption), checking the site a few times a day will by expected value land you at the beginning of a bubble. An even easier approach would be to write a bot that scrapes the site every 30 minutes to check for a new coin. I will at some point open a push API for this exactly. It would not require that much effort to get in at the same relative "time" as someone who chose the coin to pump.

Alright it looks like at least one person likes this idea, I'm going to start implementing voting since that seems to be the feature you guys want.

I've been seeing a lot of lame pump and dump posts lately so I've decided to formalize the process. Introducing...




Every few days I will switch up the coin, and so will begin a new journey to the moon.


I have spent almost no effort on this project as of now, however if this takes off, I will implement the following features:
  • Voting for the next coin (instead of me just picking it)
  • Graphs and numbers and shit
  • Real-time tracking of price increase (see what I did there)
  • Real-time tracking and displaying of site visits
  • API for algorithmic trading
  • Prettier Graphics (notice how this is last)

Follow us on twitter

Awesome. You guys get to the pumping now.
