We all know that immutability is the golden rule of blockchains, believing in that doesn't make you a troll.

Rollback once, shame on you ...
Rollback twice ... there wont be one, crypto die hards wont be around ... I thought SuperNET was champion of decentralisation?

Edit, sorry to sound critical jl777, I've been a big supporter of SN since forever, just shocked at how fast rollback is invoked when better options exist.

Rollback is a must.

Rollback will kill Komodo and SuperNET, we all know that, we're not too BIG to fail like Ethereum was.

Think carefully @jl777!

If we don't roll back we are only devaluing the whole ecosystem...How many coins do we think he/she got?

If an equivalent amount is burnt from the dev premine it's basically paying the attacker a bug bounty from dev funds, all other investors are no worse off.

Rollback is thermonuclear option, it can KILL komodo and SuperNET today!

Paying a bounty to a guy who found dangerous bug is well worth it IMO
564  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] - THE BITCOIN MOVIE on: March 10, 2017, 03:51:09 AM
Thank you all for making this discussion live! The White Paper will be released on March 13, 2017.
In the meantime, we would like to answer some of the questions:





Quote from: TheBitcoinMovie.com
By design, The Bitcoin Movie will be a unique filmmaking experience. Token holders will have the opportunity to actively participate in the creative choices. From development to post production, you will have the ability to vote and decide on key film elements such as director, storyline, cast, etc.

The Bitcoin Movie is set to become the first film in history to use blockchain technology and smart contracts to run a film production.


This is the absolute worst decision making process imaginable for making a movie. You'll end up making the worst movie possible, what next, use blockchain and smart contracts to raise children.

Investing in The Bitcoin Movie will represent an equity stake in the production of the film where profits generated by the resulting film will be distributed amongst token holders. The Bitcoin Movie Tokens will give voting power to its proprietor and allow him/her to vote on important decisions in the filmmaking process. Therefore, The Bitcoin Movie represented by its token holders will take the position of a production company and financing entity. The Bitcoin Movie token holder's responsibility lies in hiring the right people for the job — not to interfere in the work of experienced movie professionals.


Your OP says

"From development to post production, you will have the ability to vote and decide on key film elements such as director, storyline, cast, etc."

This almost certainly gaurantees a cluster fuck process, I'll give you one example out of many that come to mind; if token holders vote on key elements like director, storyline and cast, that implies a range of candidates in each area will consent to having a public process where all necessary offers, counter offers, conditionals etc are made public, so the token holders can make a decision on who to vote for. Do you really think professional recruitment can work like that, without NDA's and confidentiality?

What you are proposing is a reality tv style recruitment process, where amateurs with nothing to lose offer themselves up for Movie Idol, and the token holders vote candidates off the 'tribe'. Now, that might make the 'recruitment' process a potential reality tv show, but the Movie it makes will be complete dog shit.

Small time Movie deals go like this. Someone writes a good script, it gets past around, sometimes for years, until some 'money' gets behind it. Then a BIG name signs on, then the script, money, and big name attract more money and other Big names. Then, depending on the Big names there might be script rewrites.  Once the ball starts rolling the initial investors don't have any say at all, the big name actors, directors, producers,  cinematographers etc do. Usually the original writer gets blown off and has little say in the finished product.

Movie making deals are messy, secretive, top down and hierarchical, it can't be turned into a democratic process, too many conditionals, 'I'll be in your movie if X is the director, but not Y, unless Z is the co-star, in which case I MUST have P doing rewrites on the sex scene'
565  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [HZ] Horizon - Decentralized Asset Exchange on: March 10, 2017, 01:22:02 AM
Did the previous thread disappear?

No it was locked, OP deleted ... if the HZ platform is going well great, but very odd to abandon this forum.

I started thread here   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1817860.msg18108446#msg18108446    to discuss what happened to HZ, maybe the current dev team can provide an update.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=823785.0


I found HZ to be a really good project, and as OP stated, distro was 100% improvement over NXT, and user base was large, including refugees from another nxt clone NFD, so I hope any update shows HZ is indeed still being developed.

Can an admin help me get some free money, id 979, I want to pay grave robbers to dig up dead past players, I want to make Frankenstein's monster. I need services of a Doctor too. Can NPC do this maybe?

How much ?

Enough for 4 grave robbers for manual labour, and 1-2 Doctors/Scientists,  and maybe a small building for a secret lab. Do you think 15M would cover that?

Edit: can I get a promotion to Dr myself?

One of my Valeria Albertina (759) is a Doktor. Maybe she can help. Or maybe Great Wizard Geraldes.

Thanks, a medical Doctor and Great Wizard working together might very well make a monster from the recently departed. Is there a list of dead players?

Edit, would sci need to be consumed to perform the procedure?

You should query the GM about that whole endeavour.



I've changed my character name to Dr Kevorkian, title is self-styled like 'Dr Phil', my rank is still 'Stranger'


Having the good fortune of being gifted 15M from the universe, Kevorkian did proceed to a local tavern to find willing aides for his diabolical experiment. There he did find an unemployed BUT-3 desperate enough to offer his services as chief grave robber, and as luck would have it, the butler happened to know two similarly unemployed taylors (TAI-1) who would be tasked with the digging and lugging of bodies. A waitress (WAI) did hear the conversation while serving the plotters ale, and seeing an opportunity for herself, did offer her services as lookout.

With his grave robbing crew sorted, Kevorkian next surveyed CK real estate in search of a suitable location for a secret 'Lab', and was pleasantly surprised to find 16b Faith Street (4-NW-F2) going cheap for a measly 1M, and what a lovely sounding address for such a dark happening to occur! Next was the purchase of 4 horses H1 to transport bodies, and in preparation for a speedy get-a-way should the grave robbing crew be discovered 'red' handed with digits stained with the blood of the deceased.

Finally, Kevorkian did purchase 500 SCI in preparation for the 'procedure', then sent a message to Dr Valeria Albertina asking her to meet him and the grave robbing crew at 16b Faith Street to plan the next phase; dead body procurement, monster assembly, and reanimation!

Feeling quite chuffed at coming in under budget (total cost ~12M), Kevorkian walked to Faith Street to wait, content to dream darkly. Maybe he could restore the life that death takes from us all, maybe he could imitate God. Is science capable, is the world prepared? Kevorkian wants to know the answer more than anything else in the world, and if he crosses the line, he thinks 'I am prepared for the consequences', but is he?.


567  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] PiCoin [POS+POW] [NO ICO] [SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN=AIRDROP] on: March 09, 2017, 03:04:26 AM
Not ripping on the coin much but the description of the coin states that ICO's are bad.... well sorry to be the bearer of bad news but even free ICO's are bad since there is no initial reason to put money into something everyone gets for free... as well it seems as though you try to explain how genesis blocks are made when in fact any block number can be coded to have a certain reward... it doesn't have to just be block number one as it could very well be 2, 3, 4, 78, 3176.... lol

I know that most people only do 1 block at the very start to have the initial supply available for ICO's, Bounties, Giveaways or Dumping and running but they are all very much the same due to the fact that everyone eventually sells although it depends on who are the people selling... ? Real ICO investors ? Genuine giveaway recipients ? Bounty holders ? The Dev Himself ?

There is ways to hide everything until someone is smart enough to go looking and find it, that's how the majority of crypto rolls.

Point to my story, it's still initally free so consider it a IFG or IFO, Initial Free Giveaway or Initial Free Offering.

Many previous coins with free distribution have failed, but there are some notable exceptions like NEM, and lessor 'clones' like TALK and ENRG that have existed since 2014. The key ingredients for success are pretty well understood; committed dev, active community, some marketing, and if possible some unique features. I don't expect PI price to rise for a long while, but if the dev earns trust and loyalty from community, then who knows what will happen. Can only lose some time with a free stake, so well worth the bother to join airdrop.

Done. Promotion is done via the wisdom "top of the world" rankings table. Consume CAN, CIG, etc.

Thanks, I will try and buy 4 NPC for grave robbers and a small building for a secret lab, then with assistance from @papa_lazzarou's Dr and Wizard we shall try and make a monster. Probably need some sci too. When ready I will ask GM to determine if the monster gains consciousness. Is there a character list that includes deceased?

Main thread is locked, about to be delisted from poloniex, wtf happened?

https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003975867

It had a great distribution, and good devs, but looks abandoned ... does anybody know what happened?

Where does it say it is being delisted from Poloniex? Says Bittrex and takes me to the Bittrex zendesk.
Are you predicting it will be delisted or actually have a source?

Sorry, bittrex is the exchange delisting HZ, but question remains, what happened to HZ, why is the thread locked and OP deleted?

What benefit for investors from this crowdsale? Will you share a part of the profit from movie or not? If tokens will need only for voting about decisions it's really stupid investment....

+1 Good question! I'd like to hear the answer from the dev

This. If you just want to raise money from Bitcoin people, I wouldn't call this an ICO as there is no incentive to invest.

Most likely a teen scammer trying to cash in on crypto hype. Making a movie where investors have the ability by design to determine creative choices through voting is complete lunacy, no director of any talent would consent to this, this idea isn't coming from someone who knows the movie business.

578  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NODE Revolution "Your money - your way" -Temp. discussion thread- on: March 07, 2017, 05:08:09 AM
I received pm from TheRealSilk. There is new developers in work and they will open new [ANN]-thread soonish. I hope it's May/June.

So NODE is still alive and kicking, put your wallets online and support the network.
I opened this thread for discussion about NODE so there is not a total silence until new Ann-thread is opened by new develops.

I kept all my NODE's all this time of uncertainty, i guess that might turn out to be very wise decision after all. I hope you kept yours too. Patience is a virtue, as they say  Wink.
I can't wait to see a roadmap by new dev's.

So, if you have something to say about NODE, go on...

Bump


lol  big big bagholder here!?  Cheesy
Sorry man, but this coin is dead.

I've got loads of 'dead' coin bags, and for most of them they're not worth saving, but NODE is different, because it isn't a clone, had a fair distribution, and worked well.

All it takes for a reboot is a hand over from Silk to a new motivated project leader, but because NODE has been off the radar for a while, the obvious thing bag holders need to do is bump this thread occasionally so guys unaware of NODE's potential get a chance to weigh up the opportunity. New guys with skills and motivation turn up on this forum everyday,  but they wont know about NODE unless someone bothers to float the idea of a reboot.

I had a bag of 'dead' Crypti too, and then Max took it upon himself to reboot as LISK, and the rest is as they say, HISTORY!

It's actually harder to believe a reboot wont happen than the possibiliity that it might; this is the cryptosphere Smiley

Hi

I have lots of vericoin and I did not know about it as I was getting the updates from supernetwork slack but I did not see any news from you from a long time, how can I do the swap now?

The SuperNET/VRC swap is unrelated to VRM; in addition, it was offered for a few months but all remaining funds were returned/donated back to SuperNET or VRC Endowment.

I knew nothing of Supernet/Vericoin swap, can someone explain ... seems relevant to vrm
