Hi!

I'm having trouble buying Bitcoin where I live, so I figured I could buy a steam game, and send it as a gift in exchange for bitcoins.

I can agree on sending the goods first, if you have a good reputation. Smiley

$10 worth ~ .03btc
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Bitcoin is a commodity rather than money on: December 20, 2014, 02:27:29 PM
People are not buying bitcoins so that they can buy stuff with it (with the exception of illegal stuff). Bitcoins are an easily exchanged commodity, people buy it because it's a way of storing money.

Paycoin is a Paycon.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / How should we look at cryptos (Poll) on: December 02, 2014, 10:49:57 PM
It has now been a year since the big explosion of the market, particularly altcoins, and to be honest we haven't seen much useful development.
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / NTX - New approach to anonymity on: July 01, 2014, 09:29:23 PM
The whitepapers for this coin is very interesting(please keep in mind that English is not the native language of the developers):

"Chapter 3. Technical Breakthrough of NTX--Recasting of Block Chain
Firstly, recasting can make the user in the system of currency own more fair
status. Take the alias of NXT for example, it can be owned forever once registered, so
there is no chance for the latter. It is an inevitable measure of maintaining the vitality
of block chain to collect low fees for protection of alias and digital asset. Each round
of recasting is a new life, which can ensure that block chain forms safe closed loop in
the appropriate volume. In NTX, it often comes at a cost for the behavior of rush
registration of aliases. Each round of recasting is charged fee for the aliases held. If
you rush to register 1000 aliases, you have to sell them cheap or each round of
recasting will be charged fee of 1000. All this is protection of block chains resources.
There are a lot of Chat spam messages which are meaningless to remain in the block
chains.
In short, recasting happens after the block number gets to the preset values, then
nodes of forging does each recasting for the starting blocks of the original ones and
recasts the unpaid transaction of old blocks to the newest ones and collects the
handling charges in Chapter 1, meanwhile the block chain which is not deleted with
the blocks recasted should be used as research and recasting for each nodes, and after
a new round of recasting opens, the block data recasted in the last round should be
abandoned. In this way, a period of history transaction information could be reserved.
Recasting could prevent the block chain from expansion and realize the anonymity of
coins untraceable, and reuse some coins which has been lost forever after several
rounds of recasting so as to guarantee that the total amount of coins never decrease or
increase.

The two main problems that recasting should resolve are as follows: one is the
problem of the expansion of block chains, the other is the Permanent loss of digital
currency. The lost coins are definited as long-term unexpended transaction and the
transaction should be recasted by the miners as the block chains get to a fixed amount
and the paid transaction should be abandoned. The unpaid transaction should be
collected handling charge of 1 coin, and recasting will decrease one coin, such as
1000 coins in your wallet! It will get back to Zero after 1000 times of recasting. You
could transfer address once before recasting and prove that these coins are
commanded by someone and adjust according to the volume of block chain, for the
big amount of paid transaction data is totally useless indeed, for example, no one cancrack them if you send 10 coins to a random address! However, after ten rounds of
recasting, this transaction is recasted and gone! The total amount of coins remains
unchanged and the recasting data over 5 rounds is remained. Basically, it is unaffected
to recast once a year, and the recasting is not finished instantaneously, and after the
recasting feature opens, each new produced block is on account of unpaid transaction
in old blocks at certain distance, besides, the coins can’t be paid after the recasting
finishes, but have to wait after five rounds. There is no recasting for Bitcoins, it is
sure that many coins will lose forever and the total amount will be less and less, and
the block chain will be bigger and bigger! It can only guarantee that the coins won’t
decrease too much in your lifetime. However, the forging of nxt is still not the most
perfect scheme, but NTX has solved many realistic problem through the new skill
frame of recasting. For example, some account can’t transact after a long period, it is
indicated that the controller of those coins goes wrong, which may caused by the loss
of password or the abnormal status of holders. In this way, as the time passes, it will
lead to artificial deflation problem of coins! Popular speaking, recasting is to abandon
the block untransacted and to rewrite the old block transacted into new blocks, which
is equal to realize the effect of the anonymous.
"


This is really revolutionary if it can be implemented, in Bitcoin we have no idea of how many coins there are in cirkulation. Out of the 13 million, there are probably huge chunks which are inaccessible - due to the loss of passwords etc. Why not let these coins pay for the continuation of the network?

A bit further down we also find:

"Chapter 6 Cases
4.1 Small size full data nodes
you may forge them by using low-power consumption devices like smart phone,
tablet PC or pocket PC and provide full data nodes for the whole net."


Bitcoin is constantly becoming more and more centralized, and the node problem is perhaps the biggest
problem facing Bitcoin right now.

I'm surprised that this coin has not gotten more attention, what does everybody think? Is this possible? Have they bitten off more than they can chew?

Brief summary of the latest news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFWAki72wJA

The first thought that strikes my mind is a new falseflag, using the plane to detonate nuke somewhere as an excuse to start war?

The plane theft has recieved a lot of media hype, which is a perfect strategy to stage a new terrorist attack, in this order:

1. The plane gets stolen.
2. Some weeks later a nuke detonates in USA.
3. Total turmoil.
4. Media head title: "Evidence suggest that missing 370 plane may have been used as means for transportation"
5. ??
6. War
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Charity Based 2nd-Generation Currency on: February 22, 2014, 03:10:01 PM
I posted this idea in another thread first(polycoin) but it looks like that was just a scam.

I'm not going to put something revolutionary on the table, CancerCureCoin is pretty much the same, but I dont like how it's still based on mining.
I believe that NXT, CounterParty and other so called "2d generation" coins have taken one step forward by excluding the mining part. Mining is a waste of energy, it's really a substitute way of distribution just to make the crypto a complete currency.

However, NXT, CounterParty and all the other 2d generations has still failed somewhat imo. They favored the early adopters and ended up like all other cryptos and our fiat money, controlled by a few.
The idea Im about to prupose will still not have 'solved' the problem of creating a perfectly fair distribution, but as I see it it's the correct way of doing it, and I dont think there are any other better way.

So here we go:

Along with the coin release there should be an exchange. All coins are placed as one big order at a ratio of 1BTC : 10,000X(a fixed ratio), which makes the total supply something like 12,000,000 * 10,000(just as an example)

Sell Order: 120,000,000,000
Sell Price: 0.0001

This will make sure that the value stay consistent, and the distribution will be honest. The big amount of coins will make it more convenient as a means for payment. Speculators can still invest for the sake of speculation, even though it will take a good while before they have made any profit. People will also be able to pull their stake out by selling at a cheaper rate (even though its marginally cheaper like 0.000099).

But there remains one problem "where will all the Bitcoin payment go?", CounterParty made them simply go to an address that's not accessible, which actually was a way of literally burning money. This worked, but the money that could have been used for good purposes was simply gone - never to be seen again.

Imagine to instead start a movement along with the coin, a charity to provide shelter and food for people in need! 

I myself believe that our world is standing in flames at the moment, humanity is being both physically and psycologically enslaved by our ever tightening economical situation. I've been following a guy called Bill Still for many years now, he has a great deal of information on how our fiat system is actually the very instrument of controll that 'they' - the money masters - have been using to manipulate our whole society(media, politics, industries, etc.), for centuries.

This man, Bill Still, was the guy who introduced me to the cryptos, in the beginning of December 2013, he started to talk about Quark on his youtube channel - days later a was in the middle of a wild and crazy crypto market. And now, 3-4 months later I've come to the realization that this market produces very little productive, and a whole lot of Wall Street-looking, complete and utter crap. Even Quark turned out to be more like a private investors club rather than a revolutionary movement...

Money should not be created out of nothing, or even the solving of algorithms - it's something that our society(you and me) rewards it's members for contributing to a everyones virtue and benefit.

I hope that the future will bring lots of innovative new solutions to the current problems facing our cryptos, and Im willing to contribute in any way I can to make this happen!

10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Failing altcoins turns money into nothing on: February 09, 2014, 05:33:10 PM
Most altcoins are basically black holes for fiat money. The price can go from X - 0 in a day. All value is based on demand, if the demand dissappears - so does your money. In the beginning of december there was a sudden interest, newbs like me got in on the market looking for the "future currency", and so the price skyrocketed, making it seem like many coins had a very high value. But the value in itself wasn't based on anything more than the demand. When the demand rises, people hold, when the demand shrinks people sell - which create extreme price fluctuations. I think many people overlook this, thinking that they will at least be able to pull out when the real drop comes.

This many altcoins we currently see are too many to be sustainable imo. Its a complete game, based on marketing and recruiting, for each coin that fail, money will be absorbed and never come back. The only thing that will be left is meaningless digits.

Recommending someone to buy coins, is practically like recommend them to play poker - if they dont have any skill or insight into the game, they will likely lose their money.

12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / [CasinoCoin] a promising investment on: January 25, 2014, 04:18:47 PM
As we all know, most of the coins out there are only replicas of the first ones, with some fancy name and minor changes in the copied code. This makes me believe that most of the current 80 coins we see at coinmarketcap will slowly but steadily fade away, leaving the coins that has either a) some innovative invention, or b) a tightly knit community.

I recently moved my relatively small investment in the cryptos to CasinoCoin, which I think has it's strength in being one of the few coins that, for obvious reasons, has it's own niche.
 
In the near future the hard-working developers of this coin will be launching the very first Casino which solely will be using the CasinoCoin as a means for payment.
Someone might say that there isn't a demand for this kind of a thing, that a CasinoCoin would just be redundant, and could just as well be replaced by Bitcoin or Litecoin which could serve for the same purpose. That was my first thought.
But then I realized that I had overlooked the whole thing. As this crypto market is extremely volatile, extreme changes can happen in the matter of days, because it revolves so much around trends. Many people move their money to the coins that are on the up trend, just going with the flow.

Assume for amoment that there actually is a well-known crypto Casino using Litecoin for its payments. Suddenly Dogecoin comes along, and 90% of the Litecoiner's move their money into Dogecoins. Naturally that would mean that Litecoin's value will decrease exorbitantly, and the Casino using Litecoin would perhaps have lost their whole business, and start over from square one.
After taking this in regard, it seems reasonable to have a coin dedicated to gambling. Given that there is a demand for such a crypto Casino, it would definitely not be a disadvantage to implement a coin for this specific business. At first, the whole coin will be a gamble in itself, this is the phase in which we currently are, where the market cap is very low. No one knows how much this market will yield, but personally I would guess for a market cap somewhere around $1,000,000. (Wishfull thinking Cheesy)
Of course this coin will just as well be prone to speculation-trends, making it shift in value - but then at least there would be a stable market cap just for the casino business. The fact that the coin value can go up and down will just be an addition to the gambling aspect, rather than a threat.

Putting money into CasinoCoin would definitely be considered a high-risk investment, since it currently has a such a low market cap, and it will either make you a big loser or a big winner. I would ask the gamblers out there to at least buy a small amount of this coin, since the community is a hard working one!
On February 8th the Casino will be launched, and in the coming weeks we will be starting giveaways.
I should also add that this coin had 0 pre-mine, and that is a relatively small amount of coins that will be issued.



13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / WHY ARE THERE NO GOOD/SERIOUS COINS OUT THERE on: January 18, 2014, 12:47:54 PM
There are a few criteria that must be fulfilled:

1. No premine. Let people donate to the progression of the coin. Keep the donation address public, so that people can follow where their donated money go.

2. Make a clear plan for how the donations will be used, logos, giveaways, website, etc.

3. Make sure that there is no instamine, mining should be profitable, but not in a way that gives the early adopters a huge advantage. Try to keep a linear curve.

4. Make mining easy. There should just be a button to push, as simple as possible.

5. Prefarably a way to only allow solomining. What's the point with the pool hierarchies?

6. Huh

7. Am i just talking nonsense here, or why are there no such coins?
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / The Crypto market on: January 16, 2014, 09:54:33 PM
Is one hell of a mess. All these coins! It's like a huge kindergarten! When people are making coins of dogs, cats and mainstream musicians you know it's time to hold your horses. This whole thing has got out of hand, and the cryptos has now not only been introduced to the childish gaming community, but also the common man:

.

Who knows what kind of disasters can arise out of this!?

We live in troublesome times, and cryptos could be a backup for our declining economies, but only if we can keep a sense of seriousness.

Make up your mind in before - buy - and HOLD no matter what. Holding is underrated.
