1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FedoraCoin (TiPS); New style, new services, same unique features on: May 25, 2014, 05:22:14 AM
Fedoracoin by itself is as good as a lot of other coins, better than many. I started to buy a lot of them but two things have put me off.

1) The anonymity feature is hyped a lot but does not seem functional. It sort of looks like the articles pushing fedora on that feature are sort of like infomercials, which brings me to the real problem.

2) Some coins have an authentic community. People like the coins, talk about them etc. But with fedoracoin there seems to be pressure put on people to hype the coin. "You made such and such post so you are eligible for a prize". It's the kind of phony hype you see when a twenty year old gets promoted to a major marketing position.

I'll keep watching fedoracoin and may buy back in if it starts to go in a more mature direction, but for now I'm bailing.

Just my 2 cents trying to offer constructive criticism.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / a concern on: May 24, 2014, 05:28:40 PM
I downloaded some programs yesterday, including the galaxycoin wallet. I left the wallet on for some time and it never started working. But I noticed something odd on my computer and ran a Spybot search and destroy scan. It found malware called 2urface in the registry. The Trojan had not been spotted by Avast.

I don't know which program it came from and I am not trying to play games with the price, since I own quite a few glx. Still, I would recommend anyone who downloaded the wallet from mega in the last few days to run a Spybot scan.

It very well may be the thing came from another program, I downloaded a disk defrag at the same time that kept asking again and again for full control of the computer even though it was not running.

So the problem probably is not the galaxycoin wallet, but better safe than sorry.

The domain name galaxycoin is registered under all the top TLD extensions and each was renewed last week. Does someone plan on making a website any time soon? Galaxycoin seems like an excellent coin, one of the few early ones that was completely above the table with no premine etc, as far as I know. It would be nice to get it off the ground.
