Flirt coin dev wath about your pos activity?
Under 10 posts!
Wath are your prev experience?
Thank you!!!!

He's on the irc pretty often I don't think the post activity is all that important when you can actually talk to him directly so easily.
I agree.... Activity doesn't mean a whole lot, I've seen Hero's scam people or make shit coins.

Besides, everyone has to start somewhere lol, whether you're a dev or a forum explorer, besides not everyone has teh time to go through teh forum all the time.
Also many people I've seen make a new account for when they dev a coin so that if for some reason the coin tanks, people don't attack them directly and they can try again.

to whom i should flirt?
I like gettin my FLIRT on Wink

DGW was being a pain to implement in the up to date bitcoin source code. Got that worked out though Smiley mining smoothly now. Now looking into strengthening the network before we can launch. Getting close to the end of development and seeing what this coin can do. Closest estimate to a launch date is Nov 20th, we'll have a time and date set for everyone before hand when we know for sure.

Why SHA256 and so many coins? What are the arguments Huh

SHA256 because many miners are sitting doing nothing but collecting dust, with a new coin of reasonable difficulty they can get some playful flirt coins and use them to spread crypto currency as a tipping currency.
Reason for the large supply as just said tipping currency a low value from a large supply make it easy to send out a large amount to catch someones eye but not break the bank/wallet. Doge spread digital currency amazingly because of this, It failed to capture the woman. Flirtcoin will hopefully do the same but be aimed towards woman.
WOOT!!!! I was right!!!

I'm impressed your taking your time to get this right unlike most.


Lol let's hope this is worth it and takes off eh? Smiley

You'd have to ask a dev, but my guesses would be these:

1: People may have ASICs layin around that are no longer profitable to mine BTC with, so they can't mine and they can't sell them. This way those people can have something new to mine with those ASICs.

2: Does it really matter how many coins there are? As long as there's a cap it really shouldn't matter as inflation can only go so far. But perhaps it's so that they can have a large block reward?

Sooooo... I just looked at the first post and all, so sorry if I missed it...
But wouldn't someone with a spare data server layin around with 10+ TB of space have a huge advantage? Or other large data-storage entities, like Google for example?

This is an interesting idea for a coin, but it seems easy for someone with huge storage to manipulate this. Who needs an ASIC when you can buy several ginormous HDDs? LOL

I've got nearly 50TB mining, of which i have bought 40TB just for that purpose. I get 5 to 7 blocks or so on average on a good day, so there is plenty of blocks to go around, given there is a new one every 4 minutes.  I only get half an hour of the day lol

If you don't have many terabytes, just use a pool, with a pool you won't need that much to start getting paid - i don't know what is too little though. You don't want it all to end up in fees (1 burst for every transfer)  When I started out, i solomined my first block with just spare disk space and a lot of patience, long before i bought the 40TB

it has taken a lot of time to build a reliable farm, and the disks went online slowly as they got plotted and as i figured how to do stuff, still, between 17/09/2014 and now, i have mined 99 blocks, and gotten me 900K+ burst for the trouble. This has already paid several of the disks on paper at least (i haven't cashed any burst in yet, only spent some for giving away , donating and fountains)

Beware that block reward go down 5% each month, so over the lifetime of a harddisk, the payout in burst will go down steeply. Price might go up, though, negating that effect. I will try to hold on to most of my burst until we're finished mining.

If mining seems to be too much of a burden, just go buy burst at an exchange. Unless we run out of developers, this ought to be a pretty good candidate for one of the winner altcoins.

Wow... Impressive... I may get into this, but at the current moment I don't have much storage space to spare....

Now it says HDD mining... Ik SSDs are similar to HDDs, but they have a finite number of writes before they fail. How well do they hold up to this? Are the plots constantly being written and rewritten?

Do the devs have any plans to adapt this to be of use? Because right now all I see is diska space being used up, but not being used.

I may get a team together, or inform the right people (I know a dev whod be interested) and see if we can adapt this to be used as a decentralized storage server. That is unless this dev team is already planning on going that way, if that's the case I'll step off.

The plots are written during the plotting process, afterwards they are only being read so there would be no wear&tear of the SSD. However, since SSDs speed doesnt really matter for burst minig it is better to use regular HDDs.

Distributed storage is on the roadmap, but far in the future. I suppose you could talk to the dev about it Smiley
I was just wondering because the only thing I have access to atm is an SSD, and i didnt want to use that if there was a risk for it do be damaged while mining this.
In a few weeks I'll have a TB HDD to work with though Smiley

So does this mean we can begin mining tomorrow? Or are you still working on it?

I'm actually excited for this coin this seems like an appropriate solution to the dating scene I wouldn't be surprised to see this used in a mobile app ecosystem for dating
Oh so that's how it'll be used... Lol *facepalm*

And then I look and see the picture saying it gives adults a new way to show interest *facepalm*


LMAO, that's nearly as funny as your sent feedback.
What's that supposed to mean? I just didn't read through the post all the way Tongue

So hopefully everyone learned their lesson from bitcoin-trader, and steered well clear of this? At least I guess so as no one seems to be saying they lost anything in this thread.


that's because eso is actually refunding people. they issued an official statement on the site.

we'll be able to request our withdrawals and they will be processed. just keep an eye out for the notice for when we can issue the withdrawals.

so relax. its not another BT.



it is exactly a BT clone, maybe u just got scared u didnt covered your tracks right and u might be caught, no doubt u were/are a scam

i'm not the operator of the company, only an investor. get your ducks in a row.
Same.
Eso was asked to close down, and they had 90 days to comply or fill out the registration for several thousand dollars, which wasn't easy to fork over. THey opted to close the trading down and refund the money. Within the next few days they should have all funds liquidated and returned.
So no this was not liike BT, and no one is getting hurt.

Maybe add a few aspects from the one here?

You'd have to be an idiot to spend any money on these fucking god awful liars. What the fuck's wrong with you morons?

You clearly have way too much money on your hands if you are even entertaining giving these frauds your BTC.
*sigh*


I have no problem with you insulting me.... But don't you dare insult Glenn and Dan.

You do not insult people whom I consider friends, and you do not insult their hardwork. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

But seriously, things need to calm to frack down... If you don;t want to invest money with Eso that's fine. But we are still on the same team. Who is our real enemy? The governments who are trying to pin down Bitcoin and crypto and kill it so that it's not a competitor to their fiat currencies.

Fiat currency is the real culprit, the real ponzi. Look up Mike Maloney's "The Biggest Scam in History" on YouTube, he explains ti nicely. Fiat currencies steal our wealth, Bitcoin doesn't.

So this one didn't last very long then? Site seems to be down already.

Always seemed like it existed purely to mop up the hardcore believers, hanging on after the death of Bitcoin-trader.biz, those who are certain that it MUST be possible to get rich quick through HYIPs, if only they can find the right one...

Did you not read this?
We'll start sending out emails to clients with how to get to the private server tomorrow in the evening. We will not send out emails to every client all at once. We may choose to do it over the course of the week.

Thank you in advance for your patience.



Or these?
The site will be back in full swing!

Glenn informed me today:

"we are setting up a private server for our current clients atm
this will allow us to operate the login section of the site independantly from the main site
our primary focus is to get a system in place for our current active members and continue daily operations (trading)
we discussed last night and concluded there is not going to be a simple bandaid fix short of investing in upgrades to the infastructure of the front end heavily which at this time we decided to hold off on. For this purpose we are setting up a private server that will only be accessible to current active members. We shall continue to post results on this private server until a public solution is in place.
as such the affiliate section shall also be placed offline until the public solution is in place."

And yes that is the direction we are going in. We will be going to a private undisclosed non public server. If you are a current client with any sort of bitcoin deposit you will be given access, those with no bitcoin in their accounts have no need for the site and will not be given access. Also at this point new clients and further bitcoin deposits will not be accepted.




Time for round 2.

We are experiencing attacks from a known ddos group called dd4bc they attacked nitrogen sports a bitcoin sports betting site in the past.  http://www.bitcoingg.com/nitrogen-sports-remains-resilient-amid-attacks-due-to-blackmails-extortions/  

As nitrogen sports has gotten past their attacks we shall as well.

Take this message as a warning the site may go down several times for the next few days while defenses are put in place to mitigate all of their attacks. All personal information is safe and secured they haven't made any attempts to hack us. Just shut down our servers.

However if a hack is attempted successfully we will send out emails to members to make them aware of what data, if any, of theirs may have been taken. Most personal data like passwords is hashed and salted so this shouldn't become a major issue even if a hack is successfully performed.

They're being targeted and DDos'd and are trying to get around it.

lawl, is this why my Oct. 27th withdraw still hasn't been credited to my wallet?  Roll Eyes

((Good thing I only put in 0.25 BTC))

only ? why would u send money to some scammers ? if u get burned i wont feel sorry for u

Oh, no no, I put .25 BTC to test things out because why not; it's under $100.

My goal is to get in and get out before the project closes down.  Tongue
Not a project, and won't close down.
I put in .22 when it started (was about $100) and been happy. All in all these are good guys and have found a way to help people that works.
Pity they are being attacked the way they are.

rofl ... nice try
Whatever, don't believe me, just means I'll get to enjoy the returns and you won't Smiley

Dan, you're dumber than a second coat of paint. Fortunately your obvious ignorance and stupidity seems to prevent people falling for your scam, so thats something you should be grateful for.

Look forward to seeing your report on us and filing a lawsuit for you in return

You're going to file a lawsuit because I contacted a consumer protection agency? Good luck with that Smiley

I'm not 100% certain, but I do believe he can sue for libel and ruining his image.

But y'all need to calm the frack down!
19  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Esoteric Investments, LLC (up to 1% earnings) on: October 30, 2014, 03:09:57 PM
ah, u're showing us that this SCAM pays lower than 1%, so they can be longer alive to SCAM other people, i cant even say nice try ... its a bad one ...
Notice how Digi said upwards of 1%/day? If you look at the results you can see that there have been returns over that, but most have been under or around it.

Also thanks to Phantom for keeping you guys posted on info.

You guys were watning transaprency, so then would the # of investors and the amt of BTC investde help you guys? I'm sure Phantom or I can get that for you no problem, Deej is just asleep for the time-being. Anything else you guys would like to know? I'm all for helping you guys get the information you need.


Are you dumb, you don't see anyway that it is possible to make over .1% on average daily.

I know for certain that it's possible with a limited amount of funds, but it doesn't scale to very high sums. With a higher sum of invested money the profits measured in percent will fall. That means it would be stupid for anyone who figures out how to give away the profits to random strangers.

Or what'd be amazing is if we are at that point fully accredited, then we'll just use that coin and turn it into USD investments like stocks and commodities. Though again this will probably come with a change to our operations. Adding USD in addition to BTC adds a lot of complexity, or was I the only one puzzled by how BT did it. At that point the sky is the limit for the fund. We don't want to be only in Bitcoin forever. The term esoteric investments in the financial world spans much farther then digital currencies.

In the next year Esoteric Investments is going to change A LOT both the face and the inner workings of it. I'm excited for it!  Grin

Sit back and enjoy the show, hopefully we can earn you some money along the way.
I'm with ya man. Esoterics gonna go a long way!

You are claiming that you are taking coins from people, sending them to exchanges, trading with them, and then sending the profits back.

You could go part of the way to showing that this was true if there was a public ledger showing all of the transactions.

One of his accomplices inadvertently did that already.  have a look here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=835706.msg9339047#msg9339047

.22 BTC deposited in to this address:
https://blockchain.info/address/15BfzBttWvmYq2eSK7Yt9RxYDSWBaWv9nE

Which where then siphoned to here:
https://blockchain.info/address/1HEt984iQ93snJVQWqrD2qu8aANah588es

And remained untouched ever since. Im sure our scammer will start mixing those coins upon reading this post, but he hasnt done anything with it for the past 3 weeks, yet somehow made 7% profit on it.

BTW, I assume the two 0.01BTC shares runek1 owns, for which there are no matching deposits, is his affiliate link loot. All that trouble, all those lies and all that guilt  for ~$7  that he probably wont even be able to withdraw.

That first share was given to me, the second .01 share was something I bought from the returns of the past while.
I am not a sock puppet account. I am a real and individual person. My identity you shall not know, but I live in Benton City Washington.
