I think this is a really interesting plan. There definitely needs to be a system in place for Bitcoin loans. Interesting. Do  you have any future plans to allow third-party lending through your system? Like user to user, with the same collateral system?

Received the 500 BLRY just like he said. Honest devs are rare, and honest altcoins are even rarer.

Okay, so how exactly does ZerpFlow solve any of this?

25 dollars is a lot of money in some countries. Could be half a years earnings in lesser know countries.  Undecided
Probably not in a country with reliable internet access and personal electronics.

I've read on their thread one guy dump all of his airdrop coins so nothing extra ordinary on this coin really

Are we supposed to be surprised that one out of a few thousand people dumped their coins? I'm certain that more than just one guy dumped, I don't see the significance of this at all. If no one dumped, there would be very little market volume, and the coin would have been deemed a failure. So people do sell, it does wonderful on both of the major exchanges it's on and... people still say it's a failure. Whatever, there will always be skeptics. As with all altcoins, it boils down to this - if you don't like the features and see nothing special in it, then simply don't put your time or money into it. As for me and the several other people who believe in this coin, we'll continue to spend our time watching this coin grow and develop.

So 2 full pages and still not even a sign of "Genius Innovation", I guess that says it all.

You're partially correct. There is not much new to Decred, but that doesn't automatically make it the other option - an utter shitcoin. Notice how many people voted "Brilliant coin. Solid team. I'm in." Sometimes just being associated with a group of people is enough for success. I'm not saying that Decred is the most revolutionary altcoin of the century, but I will say that the developers are going about the management of this coin perfectly - and that's all it really takes. People can hate and call it a shitcoin; regardless the coin is steady and will hopefully be added to more exchanges soon.

You should research it.

It is quite an important aspect of coins.

Everything you've stated is fairly obvious, and I have looked into premines, airdrops, and alternate ICOs. 'Some people' believe a lot of things, but the truth is that it costs money to maintain these massive networks, and ensure (to their best ability) there are no breaches. As a new coin that has received as much attention as it has, it has so far not shown any lack of security or developers with ill motives.

And the ICO is camouflaged as a huge premine given to investors.  Shocked
Quote from: decred
Coins held by Company 0 will be used to fund its ongoing work on open-source projects, such as Decred and btcsuite.
I don't understand what you mean by camouflaged, they practically come out and say that is what the premine's for - funding the developers, as are most ICOs. As I said in my post, the developers claimed that they won't touch the premine for 1 year, using it only for PoS. You really didn't explain to me why people dislike premines then "because some people do". It seems that you are trying your best to bash on Decred, any particular reason? It's nothing new, we get it, and it's obvious that the developers didn't walk away from launch penniless, but it has reputable developers and despite opposition it is succeeding.

Imo Decred is great. It has an amazing dev team, and a really enthusiastic community. Sure, PoS/PoW hybrid coins aren't exactly new, but it's not really about who does it first. It's about who does it better. I never understand what people have against premines - sure, if there's a 20% premine that would be a little troubling, but 4% of the 8% premine went to airdrop, so please stop complaining about the massive amount of money the devs made straight off the bat. Devs have also committed that they wouldn't sell a single coin for a year, while c0 won't trade for two. (https://forum.decred.org/threads/the-projects-commitment.730)

 Of course these could just be words, but it's a bold commitment. I'm definitely biased towards Decred, because I did participate in Airdrop, still have all my DCR, and I am actively following the forums; I know the community fairly well, and I must say that this would be a lot of unnecessary effort just to scam us. The price has already risen to over 600k, so why haven't their been any massive dumps yet? I guess I was a little skeptical at first, but I decided, 'what the hell, even if it is a scam, I'll get an airdrop.' But since then, I've seen a large amount of dedication from both devs and community members. All I can say to skeptics is that there will be a time when you will wish you could have became involved with Decred while it was just taking off.
