1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IOTA - the scam is being pumped hard now don't fall for the trap on: July 11, 2017, 05:20:43 PM
You still haven't made a case against IOTAs technology. If you were smart enough to write a paper that outlines in detail a novel and innovative idea then you wouldn't be here complaining about IOTA. You are clearly deflecting...
"Smart enough"? Are you brain dead? Throw in a couple hundred $ or a couple thousand $ and you get your innovative whitepaper bullshit. Heck, there are even whitepaper generators nowadays.

Zero fees alone makes IOTA superior.
Statements like these make absolute no sense.

Again, I'm asking you to make your case against IOTA without any ad hominem demagoguery...
Nothing further need be said (read the damn thread before posting) This is a clear scam coin full of smokes and mirrors. There is as much as an use case for IOTA as there is for Potcoin. It's clear that you are a bagholder. Roll Eyes

Anything that labels itself "next gen" or "next winner" is a scam.
The only thing I can agree on is being done here. I was a bit worried when I saw the thread title, but reading through this salt mine only solidifies my future investment in IOTA. Nobody in here has anything to say about the technology. I asked you to refrain from ad hominem attacks, and that is exactly what you resorted to. You lack the capacity for intellectual discussion, so I will leave you to your own devises...

If I write a nice looking whitepaper on something that is fundamentally flawed (obviously I won't say that it is), you will be convinced and will buy my product? That's basically what IOTA is along with 99% of the mETH tokens.

There was a comparison table between Byteball and IOTA somewhere, and IOTA easily loses to it. I'm too lazy to look for it, IIRC it was posted in the byteball ANN thread.

P.S. Don't listen to random "experts" that have zero contributions to Bitcoin and cryptography.
Do you mean this comparison on the Byteball wiki? Because that is clearly slanted (I wonder why). Zero fees alone makes IOTA superior. In fact, that is the whole point of a DAG

I have no idea why people even respond to 2 post accounts that are obvious sock puppets anyway. Its always the same story..... I was suddenly motivated to sign up blah blah blah ..... all these years never once before wanted to sign in and discuss this project they are so passionate about.
Newbies to this space may be fooled by such posts, especially when they start with "I am a senior systems engineers". Roll Eyes

Dude this is starting to look like a meme, some genius manager with 30 years of experience in whatever multi-million / billion dollar company makes a great long post about how such project is the best thing that has ever happened to humanity or how some other project is the worst shit ever that everyone should sell. And often times that guy has intelligent and educated friends who understand everything and who all agree with him. This all sounds like paid advertisements.
That's pretty much how every scam ever gets pumped, and IOTA is just an example of such a scam.

...clones ...Byteball already is
false
Indeed. Just because Byteball uses DAG, that does not make it an IOTA clone. Roll Eyes

The short term price change should be irrelevant when its long term potential is high. IOTA still has problems and when these problems are cleared, IOTA will be heading to the moon. 
Another IOTA scamcoin bagholder detected. Cheesy
I am considering buying this IOTA dip, have read the white paper a few time and came here to see what people are saying... and then I find this thread. Do you have any real argument against the technology of IOTA? Or is it all "small ico, therefore it's a scam" and "price is falling, therefore it's a scam" because I have seen little to no technical discussion here. Do you have any real arguments against the technology that I should be aware of?

so we can sell our zclassic after the snapshot and still get the zencash on the 23rd?

Why's the price crashing? Shouldn't people be buying?

You've been trying to sell these Veritas tokens for at least a couple of years now, right? Is your platform still in development? if it isn't why has it taken so long? What happened to the investors who bought two years ago?
Read the thread. They pulled the platform to port to ethereum. Old token holders will be compensated
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: VERITASEUM DISCUSSION THREAD on: May 05, 2017, 05:04:20 AM
Veritas tokens were slated to be $1 before the Eth pump. Now it's about $3. Would future big money be charged significantly less? Will I be losing money by participating in the ico?
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Xaurum [XAUR] on: April 22, 2017, 03:12:06 PM
What is the incentive to use Xaur? If people only speculate transaction fees are minimal and the pool barely grows...

Why wouldn't people simply use a crypto with a low transaction fee?

You have to be worth $1M or $200k/yr to invest? Why even post here?

This limitation is valid for US accredited investors only. For international investors it does not apply.

Damn these US laws

Interested, but after watching the Youtube clip of the guy on Coin Interview... I am quite concerned about this.  Doesn't appear knowledgable, but worse than that, he seems quite shifty.  Can't answer basic questions about his service which is now, I suppose technically, valuated at about $2Mil.  Something's wrong here.

EDIT:  Seriously - check out this interview and then tell me that you're comfortable sending any money or crypto to this guy.  He's a co-founder.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cSK1d-7Irc

EDIT 2: I am getting a bad vibe from these guys, all around.  Good luck investors.  I am out.

EDIT 3: In that interview, I noticed that Dimitri Chupryna really struggled answering any technical questions.  I'll point out that his title, according to the Whitepaper, and the fund's website is as follows: Co-founder, Technology & Analytics.  

It doesn't seem like Evan is convinced at all in that interview, he seems extremely skeptical. Not to mention he has to correct Dimitri multiple times during the interview, correct him on things you would hope he is an expert on considering his position in TaaS and the supposed expertise you would hope would go along with such a position. Evan appears to know more than he does... Dimitri didn't even know what a fiduciary was and people are okay with trusting him with millions? Lol.

Also a lot of "maybe's", "I think so's", "should be's", "in the future's", etc coming from Dimitri.

And yeah, his body language is shifty as fuck.

Yeah, this just reeks.  I hope nobody gets screwed out of their hard-earned funds.  I've been involved in enough Security-scams to be have a pretty good spidey-sense and it is definitely going off here.

I don't really think you can nail him with that performance, some people are very nervous on camera especially if you are doing it for the first time
He doesn't look nervous per se but okay fair, that still wouldn't explain why he doesn't answer the questions correctly/doesn't know certain things he should know. Evan is clearly not impressed with his answers or knowledge of the subjects in that interview. One would hope it would come off as Evan interviewing somebody with an expertise in what they are doing or at least somebody more knowledgeable than himself but it comes off as the opposite. Isn't Dimitri supposed to be their lead/expert of technology and analytics?

And I really wish somebody would respond to my post about what seem to be inconsistencies in their proclaimed experience on their website and what they actually have done according to their work history on their linkedins. I just feel like these guys are trying to sell themselves a little more than they can reasonably attest to, which I guess makes sense considering they are trying to raise 101 million USD which would be the largest ICO in history. Call me crazy but if you want to hold the largest ICO in history I feel like there should be some pretty damn good/distinguished/recognized experts leading the project.
Finally made an account just to respond Smiley
I thought it was a terrible interview. It seemed Evan didn't read the whitepaper or even know what a hedge fund does. 40 mins and all he asked about was cryptoaudit and blockchain questions, which Dimitri said several times that hes not a developer, and the applications of blockchain to a CEF are rather limited. Ask how they are gonna make money. Ask about trading strategy; is the focus on fundamentals or technical analysis; crypto markets are always open, will they be trading around the clock; 15% of ico is going into development, shouldn't ico participants share in the profit of Kepler?

These are some of my questions, and none were answered. Also I'm unbiased as I live in the US and cannot partake Sad
