So, gentlemen. I've been monitoring your discussion since the opening post, but failed to surface before bitcointalk went down, so here I am, taking my chance before it does that again.

I was following on cryptonote rather tightly back in the day and I still think that it is a groundbreaking piece of disruptive technology, that should lead the 'Bitcoin 2.0' movement. Thing is, I want to profit from it too. What I wanted to know is if there will be a seed funding run for your foundation: I hold a minor stake in BCN and a bit larger one in XMR, which I could very well invest in you, in hope of seeing a larger return. Now, I won't, of course, do that before I see a tangible, concrete plan/roadmap, because so far you were pretty abstract about your intentions. But if you are indeed going to let investors in on the deal, I'll be sure to keep track of this thread.

These guys have got the limelight already it seems, according to this http://cointelegraph.com/news/112382/bitgive-officially-recognized-as-charity-by-irs-secures-80-of-funding-target they've got 80% funding on their most recent project already regardless of the tax exemption ruling.. interesting to see if the momentum keeps up tbh. also noticed ceo is called Gallippi too, shrewd move there i think!

market cap went up like 3.5million, gotta be something more than that surely?

Claiming that a coin is using fake accounts is a bit of a stretch. There are many shills around the forums and attempting to attribute them to one coin or another isn’t going to get you far – there are people that try to sabotage other coins by doing just that. Not to mention there are backers of coins that may purchase accounts; it doesn’t mean that the coin’s developers are the ones doing it.

ok now I'm excited if there's headway being made with regard to the bloating issue (if we can call it an issue really but anyway..) - hope there's something to report soon!

wonder what expedia will be posting in terms of btc revenue once its been offering it for the same length of time..!

Liking this, keep going dev I hope you can iron out the issues - hung on me too, well just ground to a halt once or twice and I got impatient lol. great interface though, keep it up.

damn right, this is the kinda level you have to aim for.. pheeva guy (forgotten his name) is on the ball! didn't think that wallet was so successful come to think of it, load of funding from somewhere?

Agreed, but really it shouldn't be about choosing at all - the coins themselves are somewhat means to an end, it's the technology behind them that really matters. That's what a) is going to survive and b) has the potential to spawn all sorts of reincarnations which will have the support and knowledge behind them to go further and be more successful.

I'm not sure one account's enough to assume a rotten apple though to be honest, and of course proving the dev's involvement is another thing.
Agreed, arguing wasn't what I intended.. but somehow there needs to be some news soon that isn't conjecture - like for example that thread that appeared earlier about difficulty flaws, hope it doesn't give people the fear.

Yeah bit steep in the end, especially since for international use you'd have to pay the visa card charges afterwards as well.

Any news of xapo shipping anything does anyone know?

I did not know that! do they charge for it?

This is quite an undynamic argument. Whatever happened to championing the technology behind these currencies? Without development they're both going nowhere, and the devs have gotta be on the ball with finding innovative ways to apply cnote regardless.

By making assumptions of other people being trolls, you yourself start looking trollish. But I'm not accusing you guys in any way, because that's what it would be: just assumptions..

I'm not sure how else to explain the lack of sophistication in the abuse which is rife in many threads of this forum! 

I saw an interview with vitalik buterin who mentioned monero using ring sigs and that they were very promising or something similar, he seemed more interested in it than like ethereum's gonna take it head on. Anyhow, cryptonote tech deserves to survive long enough to give ethereum a run for its money at least.

personally, I think both bcn and xmr could do with a lot more publicity to really get them going, as could cryptonote technology.. and it's not like ethereum's gonna be short of publicity anytime soon.

I dare say so, just there are a lot of earlier posts haha do you know of any resources which give out decent info?

i'll kick myself for not being able to find where i read it, but I believe the xapo card's being altered in future to be used in atms too.. like sooner rather than later. if its true then it's bye bye anxpro and the rest, no competition anymore. well not that anxpro's competition anyway really, lolworthy fees to be frank.

haha.. though tea is. the germans developed a cold energy drink from it called Club-Mate which successfully (i think) solves the pain in the arse question of energy drinks tasting like shite. can get it in the us can and mexico on mail order, it blew my mind but then i lived in europe before. check it out, has like 100 cals a bottle too and hardly any sugar, just sweet sweet sustained caffeine highs. makes any office job instantly doable

nothing beats family guy for the first 6 seasons or so, after that we enter the abyss

Hi all, I've been a big fan of cryptonote tech for quite a while and am looking to get more involved (ie invested) long term, considering mining basically. As such i was looking for some kind of practical info on merged mining. Not just a guide but info on possible returns etc (I have just standard and fairly haggard cpu capabilities)....as well as what the real benefits are for the community as well as myself. If anyone can spare a minute or two to help me out, it'd be much appreciated!
