1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Townforge - a Norse-themed crypto-MMO/city-sim game (testnet) on: February 15, 2021, 03:30:47 PM
I have played this game and appreciated it quite a bit a few months back. It compiled well, ran reasonably well with little issues and the players and people developing it were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. At this time I sense nor expect any sort of deception and your efforts seem to be a genuine effort to move on from what may or may not have set you on this game in the first place.

I continue to find excitement in the concept of this to this day but as of this minute my schedule does not allow for the creation of further Mushroom Farms, Courtrooms, Aqueducts or Pavillions on the Hill .. though I do anticipate that day will come again soon.

Thank you, for your efforts here. Had this been the known and expected end result of all those years ago possibly I would have had a different approach toward it all.

I thought the color scheme was well chosen, and when plugged into a building system that was well designed and reasonably easy to understand and capable of extending the players ability to build in a blocky minecraft world greatly. Moreso, it was quite relaxing and represented most everything I would expect of this style of game.

I appreciate the extent to which a blockchain has been built into the core of what makes this thing work.

I think that at this stage, possibly stressing that the game is designed to be role-played by the player and that they aren't being force fed some story line that someone has dreamed up and put into a rigid logical structure all leading to the same end point might not be apparent enough to people who are looking to get into it after this being the norm found in many games.

Curious as I haven't asked before - have you any familiarity with modern-day role playing as such has been seen in some of the Grand Theft Auto RP, or even Arma 3/Altis RP and the like? There are extents that the developers go to in those games that don't lead to the Role itself being enforced upon a player that allows much storyline to develop driven a lot by the characters. Just trying to think of a middle ground here besides some kind of D&D stuff that might otherwise stand to provide a neat source of ideas for players and developers alike.

I mean .. to be fair .. like .. the tendency of any charted anything when pushed to the boundary of the chart is to .. go off the chart .. right? Like the graph ends at 2022 .. so yeah of course it's going to go off the chart lol Smiley

The question is to the up or to the right. I still think it's got a solid floor above 0.004 though.

so, risto scammed people on the end. who would have thought

I'm glad I chalked this up as a gay little project and didn't put 39 Bitcoins into it.   Lips sealed Wink Grin

It makes me feel better about my 60 Bitcoin Huntercoin investment! Tongue

I mean sure but risty won't get to steal so much more until he pays his denbts. Such is the life of a thief.

The funny thing is he's stuck in such a loop i doubt he'd even realize what (s)he, in fact, stole, and should, in fact, return to its rightful owner(s).

He's got many years thought, so no rush. It's all on him anyways. Such is the life of a .. silver mirror.

Well, is it time to sell? Has Monero ever had an economic backbone despite reallytrulyactuallyneedingonethistimearound or what?

As you're watching all the things around you get .. more expensive as your fiat currency's being deliberately hobbled, castrated and lobotomized in the face of a response that's meanwhile resulted in a global mental and economic breakdown longside a lockdown .. do you think little ol' Monero's gonna hole her lil' cheeks together this time around?

Me I'm gonna hold, but not for anything to do with an answer to these questions. Gonna hold and buy it all the way down. I think the fiat value might go up or stay the same, but the value that matters, i think is going to go down and kiss that floor for a minute. Good news .. kinda .. is it looks like that floor will be above the 0.003x i'd claimed last year.

If in the state you have to defend yourself, then this is a bad state. If you need it to demonstrate strength and express your will to the government, this is again a bad state. If for the sake of demonstrating "coolness", then you do not understand life.

Gun control is not possible in the United States, because they have very high rates of violent crime, especially home invasion. If you don't own a gun, then it is like asking for your death. On the other hand, countries such as Australia and New Zealand have very strict gun ownership laws. They can afford that, because crimes such as home invasion are very rare in these countries. Ultimately, it depends whether the government is able to protect you or not. If they are unable to do that, then you don't have any choice other than owning a gun to protect yourself.

I vehemently disagree with the logic behind your conclusion, and find it personally offensive to the highest level, to the point where I was motivated so much by this comment that i came in to post right here and now after years.

People have an inalienable, undeniable, right to bear arms. This has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not their mammy can protect them, else they also have the same right to die for that belief.

That's it, literally it. Because you exist, you have every right to bear arms and deal with the consequences.

For the record, Risto had taken 2000 XMR from me that I had sent over for in-game land plots. I had intended to purchase two of them.

One of them had an in-game item that was made for it, yet the other did not. The in-game item for the land plot was never turned over to me, and as such I never received what I paid for.

Risto then proceeded to give away my 2000 XMR along with his own to the player base.

...or $19 mark so until I see either of those hit I really don't see a point in recommending a buy to anyone who hasn't already been buying it all the way down until this point...

I'm not here to gloat, yet, but . . . hope ya'll're staying healthy and sane Cheesy

I wonder can Monero (or even the crypto markets at large) recover to an ATH from such a desperate drop?

I know we've seen some phoenix like rising from ashes, but even as someone who bought mostly around 7usd, it seems like a gargantuan task to ascend from here.

No worries dudes, it might take 'em a few years, even decades .. to have the realization dawn that they're no longer in need of a 'bank' as they're referred to these days whatsoever. Aint a dollar in the world's gonna taste as sweet as that victory, when it does come.

I'd expect quite a bit of posturing in the intervening decade(s?) or so, but I'm quite well equipped to ride it out, by the very privilege that i've got no less than 30 more years with which to wait it out. A decent way to pay for the food's gonna make that all the easier of course.

It's gonna happen, just gotta get outta the trains way is all, let it take crash itself, right along with the cleanup and rebuild. Some people're probably gonna get smacked by that train. But then there's gonna be the digging out of the smoldering hole that's, in recent history, been unabashedly called 'secure hardware, software and operational security' that's meanwhile lead millions of what would've otherwise been human beings toward being entirely interrupt-driven providers of free data over the last decade because they've decided that hardware manufactured from 2010-2020 is even remotely trustable.

Important that if you hold any part of crypto, be it physical coin in your wallet or thought in your head, that you speak of it with every living thing you come into contact with .. not every day .. but bring it up often enough that they start asking questions about it.

Top in BTC: 0.035
Now in BTC: 0.006
Lowest in BTC since: 0.006

Years ago it went down from $6.50 to a quarter, which was a crippling loss of 96% and 0.01 to 0.00095, which was a crippling loss of 91% BTC-wise and we aren't even all the way there yet. That'd be at the 0.0014 btc/xmr or $19

When did they stop requiring basic math skills at Russian troll farms? 91% loss from .035 would put us at 0.00315, not .001**.

Bitcoin has had two 90%+ declines in its history, from $0.17 to $0.01 in 2010 and from $32 to $2 in 2011. The Jan 2015 bottom was at 85% down from ATH and the Dec 2018 bottom at 84%. Note that it hasn't had another 90% decline in the last 8 years. Those are not regular occurrences.

Monero has also had two 90%+ declines, from $5.53 to $0.22 in 2015 and from $467.77 to $37.16 in 2018. Those bottoms are clearly established and hoping to get a 96% discount after you’ve missed the 92% off sale is a recipe for FOMO.

But please keep shoveling Siberian FUD coal into the steam engine, just try not to get run over when the train gets moving again.

Well then I'm sure it'll be a pleasure holding with you all the way on down to 0.00315 some time next year fella, good catch I punched in 96% twice there rather than 91% and 96% as was intended. Regardless of that, the peak I was talking about was the one in May/June 2014, from which I recall it being a decent bit over $6.00, and not the peak you were discussing. It would help if exact dates were mentioned to begin with I suppose.

Despite that, Bitcoin had quite a bit of time it spent at the bottom of its 'two 90%+ declines', and this trough is exactly what I think this is heading into, and I again speculate it will be a time period of over one year and I personally hold anyone saying the opposite of that to be talking their bags up in order to exit a market they themselves have realized has a seriously high chance decline another 50% from exactly here. Certainly wouldn't be the first time someone has done that here.

And if it wasn't quite clear to you, I said very specifically that I wouldn't recommend buying if you haven't already been buying, not whatever you've seem to have read it as. This is because people who haven't been buying, often chase markets in an upswing .. for which I'm quite solidly convinced this'd be nowhere near a reasonable upswing until 12 months or more .. so telling new money to enter would be a very nasty thing to do right now, in my opinion.

That'd be at the 0.0014 btc/xmr or $19 mark so until I see either of those hit I really don't see a point in recommending a buy to anyone who hasn't already been buying it all the way down until this point. At least anyone looking to actually make money within the typical frame of next week or next month, or next quarter, or even next year.


Monero went from $6.50 to a quarter in first year when yearly mining emission was 100%. So at the bottom in one year emission doubled. Before that was even higher. Now yearly mining emission is 3.4% and that would take 30 years to double, but since it keep decrease will take more then a century.  

Sure, it's absolutely reasonable to assert that because the emission has effectively ended that there could be less selling pressure, however there were other massive declines at different points in the emission. For example, consider that there were massive losses in two month time frames two other times, 01Sep2016-01Nov2016 (80%) and then again 26Aug2017-05Nov2017 (70%), meanwhile the loss from 31Aug2014-31Oct2014 was actually a 77% loss while the >90% losses didn't come in until 14 months after that drop, where the yearly emission on those three periods was 16.23%, 8.46% and 154.98% respectively (source from : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qXi7zUSIh7F6UuSuhOryyFbHEy_LJuym3I3neAga_2s/edit?pli=1#gid=239466694), where now it's currently 3.39% per https://moneroinfo.herokuapp.com/ .

So unless you were to be implying that some point below 3.39% triggers the price to stop going down, I'd lean toward thinking the emission rate has significantly less of an effect when compared to market sentiment or something else entirely. I'm still not convinced that we don't have less than a year left, and as such still maintain that there is still more to lose from where Monero's at, despite what BTC does.

Top in BTC: 0.035

a crippling loss of 83% at the lowest and is at it's lowest since peak right this minute

Top in USD: $475
Now in USD: $56
Lowest in USD since: $38

a crippling loss of 92% at the lowest and it's still a crippling loss of 88%

Years ago it went down from $6.50 to a quarter, which was a crippling loss of 96% and 0.01 to 0.00095, which was a crippling loss of 91% BTC-wise and we aren't even all the way there yet.

At least anyone looking to actually make money within the typical frame of next week or next month, or next quarter, or even next year.

Imagine losing 90% of your teeth. Or losing 90% of your tires where the only sane solution is replacement or implants at this point, viewed purely economically. So charts related voodoo aside, I think there's still plenty more to lose, while technologically there's not that much more to gain.

Viewed from the lossage side of things, March 2018 was the last time this was any good, viewed as if increasing price correlates to increasing success. That's 19 months, where the overall gap between when things sucked to when they were good last time was 26-27 months, and we're not past 70% of even matching that yet so if you've managed to find a comfort zone over these last months as far as managing to get away from checking the price every half hour it'd certainly still be reasonable to continue doing so for the time being.

This is explicitly a price speculation.
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Feel like quitting on: September 19, 2018, 03:32:31 AM
Honestly there are more reasons to quit? When I see my rank become a newbie again I feel empty and nothing to do. And in the other side I see the market price falling without changes. But it keeps on falling down. Literally like I am far on achieving my goals. Can someone help me on what strategy I will do to get some merit points and how to do when the market price is low?

Not for nothing but places like bitcointalk.org ain't really a great place to carry a legendary badge .. unless you want to sell the merited account ofc. Realistically if you want some actual merit go make a gpg key and get into a wot or two and forget about places like bitcointalk for the most part. Explicitly learn and master only what is in demand, most of this can be done by reading and not so much writing.

t. guy that's been here for a bubbler or three.

The technology and use case for Monero is so stealthy, didn't even know i was mining it... Embarrassed

Well at least you can rest peacefully knowing full well that your processor has done more for humanity than most every person that's ever lived up until the point in time in which you decided to halt it (if you so did).

Surely that's no reason to be all sad and stuff Cheesy

I guess that is it then. With Malla castle gone there will be no more $100 Monero parties.

Risto went full scammer a year ago, no Monero party would have taken place there in the future anyway.
He still owes me 40 BTC and more than 600 BTC combined to other people. He pretented back then that he could not repay anyone because his paper wallets had been destroyed by fire.

Certainly most should refuse to do business with him, if the intention is to make money in my heavily biased opinion.

Not sure his open scam thread has been posted for a while but it's here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1890786.0, for which I still stand by my post there.

Thanks all for the informative replies, it's making more sense.

I wanted to add a little bit more information to this also, just in case anyone was wanting more:

For the last year, mostly, I've been avoiding google searches. The question I asked about this place not showing up is after months on months of me using various computers mostly all not having any kind of saved local history (indeed there are generally deletions of such every 2-4 days i'd figure on average, if one is recorded at all).

Additionally, this is across no less than three different computers I use mostly every day, and no less than five overall, across ipv4 and ipv6 connections as well as two or three different vpns. Two of the computers usually get an OS flashed about every week or so to some different or the same linux distro. So basically I can only assume that the servers are picking up "random linux user on high resolution screen using mostly firefox located more often than not in the USA and sometimes Germany/Netherlands."

And still, every time I try to find a subject on this board by typing the subject i'm looking for coupled with the word bitcointalk both Bing and DuckDuckGo generally fail to acknowledge that the site even exists at all.

Only google has reliably served this site along with my specified search term on this site.

Actually, it's been so lately that the only searches I do through google is when I'm looking for something on this site.

Add: also, yes i at least can confirm I was mistaken before in that bing at least produces a link to bitcointalk.org, and that's it.
17  Other / Meta / Why don't DuckDuckGo and Bing show bitcointalk results? on: September 01, 2018, 06:00:42 PM
I can literally type the subject i want to look up and the word bitcointalk into a google search bar and it shows right up every single time at the top of the list.

The two referenced in the title seem to actively be filtering this site out.

Just wondering why that is?

If there's a thread on this i couldn't find it.

This is more then 3 months old article. You would already seen effects of it on it's price. But it is actually hard to see since the whole cryptomarket is in bearish move atm.
Anyway I think until we are down to 2-3 exchanges there is nothing to worry about.

P.S. I have seen that there is some kind of community activation on Bisq (https://bisq.network/ -decentralized exchange). They trade XMR-BTC (I think) pair there on Mondays. So if anyone is interested they can join them. I think they've made over 100k of volume one day. (https://twitter.com/bisq_network/status/1026477796883931136)

Speaking of volume, this nice little market movement the last few days is on very low volume. Hmmm

One of the ongoing most amusing considerations I have about this rather functional privacy coin, driven by privacy nuts, is this tendency of not less than a thousand or so people to rationalize, speculate and explain market movements based on absolutely fictitious numbers like, specifically, the one reported on coinirssecmarketcap.

Additionally, I also appreciate that not less than ten existing people speculate that there exists the possibility that things aren't as they seem, for no reason other than to challenge reality out of abject boredom. Or some such idea like that .. Cheesy

I was just checking some Monero network statistic here: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/monero-hashrate.html.
And now I wonder why hashrate has fallen so dramatically in May? Is that a mistake or was there any major event which caused this?

I also find number of Monero transactions interesting, there is actually not a lot of them. Even Doge has approximately 5x more transactions on average. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-xmr-doge.html What do you guys think is the reason for this? Not enough exposure of XMR, fees, complexity, UI?

Around May and a bit before then it was so decided that whereas the people in charge of Monero don't currently like botnets more than the effect of not having them mine Monero, the method in which mining Monero was changed by the people that have the ability to change the source code of Monero, in order to discard the old botnets during some likely routine hard forking event.

In reflection of this change becoming a reality, the difficulty algorithm adjusted itself to reflect this action. As the hashrate is derived from difficulty, the graph that displays hash rate was left with a rather abrupt and jagged looking cliff. Whether or not it was a mistake is a matter of speculation likely for some time to come, though it was unquestionably a major event.

I would advise you to seek an answer to your dogecoin question in one of the outlets where dogecoin is often discussed.
