Ahh but what about "insert name here"? if "insert name here" is a scam then surely "insert name here" is also a scam?

I think we need to shut everything down just to be sure there are no scams

To make life easier for everybody can we not just agree that all the things in life including life itself will inevitably be proclaimed a Scam at some point and move on?

"insert thing here" is a Scam because... well just because.

Ggrr F%£$&g People...

Could I just jump in here and blame Hitler for this thread...

This is certainly already a thing...

Thank you for your input it is appreciated.

Indeed you are probably correct that this could be done without the need of a blockchain, my thinking behind the want to incorporate a blockchain into the idea is that the "bartercoin" for lack of a better name, would be immutable... Joe could not fake a transaction for a joke and claim I owed him unlimited holidays to the caribbean instead of the 2 glasses of wine I actually owe him/her, as if this happened too often the system would become untrustworthy and would cease to be of use.


My original idea was to create a morally fortified community based barter system (by community I mean Village, local business groups, small towns etc) to take away the need for any "currency" transaction for some of the things that are needed from day to day, where trust could be built over time based on the successful transaction carried out by your private key.

Once again, thank you all for you input.

I have a brief question for you intelligent Ladies and Gentlemen...

Would it be possible to create a Blockchain based Zero value token that could have the token's "value" added by the "miner"?

Example: Tom's forgetful friend occasionally needs a reminder that he owes Tom ... Insert value here. (Beer x 3, Meal x 1, 3hrs Labour, £10 etc)

Example: You feel you haven't been as good a partner as you should have been to your spouse, so you decide to issue her/him a "token" redeemable for ...  Insert value here. (Holiday, divorce, servant etc.)

All tokens issued their values and states (not redeemed / redeemed... Tricky??) would be visible to all users of the network.

Or is that just another useless bainfart?

Allow me to simplify for the layman, "Neeeeds moniez... make crypto go ZoOm now!"

Seems legit.

I'm both confused  and deeply sceptical, but I guess we'll see.

Well done for having money thrown at you though, it must be a lovely feeling.

It's a bit crazy that this shit goes on and people still believe it... Even the posters on their own forum are new account with a single post!


STEP AWAY FROM THE BUY BUTTON!!! 

There's far more than just those two brother... us humans are shit at sticking to the one story, we just make it up as we go along for a few thousand years and call it "religion".
Who knows perhaps in another thousand you'll be god too! The possibilities are endless

Well I'm a forklift driver with very little knowledge of computer engineering and I managed just fine, so in my humble opinion you seem to be a bit of a dick?

It's potentially a new fork in the road to decentralisation, and a very important step in my opinion.

If it succeeds even in a small way it has the potential to change the world just as much as Blockchain technology has already.
But it's very important to not just look at it as "how much money can i make from it" as that is kind of missing the point entirely.

However there is a long way to go as it is still an unproven concept.

My fingers are crossed  

Yes that's right you now live in a world where you have to pay for your own mistakes and educate yourself sufficiently to protect yourself from those that would choose to take what you have.

It's a harsh world at times and I feel for you, but this is the future and you are in control. Would you ordinarily hand your wallet to someone that says they will look after it for you? oh right yeaah... the banks...
How has that worked out for everybody?

I'll help you out here by pointing you in the direction of.... https://bitcoin.org/en/secure-your-wallet

Be safe, be in control.

An open letter to Satoshi Nakamoto, whomever he, she or they may be.

I would like to open this letter with a thank you and a warning.
Thank you for creating this amazing world changing technology we call Blockchain, and for giving it freely to the world.
Thank you for giving us the tools we need to free ourselves (if only a little) from those that would call us Money launderers, Tax avoiders, Drug dealers and Terrorists.
I think sometimes we forget why and how all this started and find ourselves dwelling far too much on the “what can it do for me”, after all isn’t that exact thinking what got us into this mess in the first place?





Your place in all of this is far better served as an anonymous figurehead as whether you choose to come forward and speak your mind or stay anonymous you will be hunted, threatened, used for others best interests. Stay hidden my friend let the world deal with the revolution you have started it has been a long time coming.


Despite all that has come before Ladies and Gentlemen we find ourselves at a crossroads of sorts, do we argue amongst ourselves and bicker like small children or do we use the tools we have been given to change this world for the better?
Core or Classic? Ethereum or Lisk? Dash or Monero? Doge or Potcoin?

Centralisation: “is the process by which the activities of an organization, particularly those regarding planning and decision-making, become concentrated within a particular location or group, keeping all of the important decision-making powers within the head office or the center of the organization.”

Decentralisation:  “the process of redistributing or dispersing functions, powers, people or things away from a central location or authority.
While centralization, especially in the governmental sphere, is widely studied and practiced, there is no common definition or understanding of decentralization. The meaning of decentralization may vary in part because of the different ways it is applied.”


The choice my friends is solely in your hands.
