I'm really impressed by the DEVS response to the attack. I hope the price dipps so I can buy back in. Smiley

Have you sold all your XMR holdings in the wake of the attack? Wink

There's never been so much bid support near the price. Imagine: in the range of 0...-10% of the current price, and in one exchange alone, there is BTC388 waiting for the seller of 108,000 XMR (3.3% of all XMR). Now is the time to dump if anyone likes, next week the price will be quite much higher if no one dumps now Wink

An experienced trader will know that is a negative drag on price. If it gets removed, then there is a positive effect.

......

if you spot any obvious English errors don't hesitate to forward me ha ha


Happy to proof read and tidy up syntax/grammar/clarity, if you want.

One further point you didn't fully address is the impact of (potentially unlimited in number) rival currencies , which can have similar properties, and therefore are able to dilute and neutralize the effect of limited supply + fixed difficulty.

Can KJO be banned from this forum? His inflammatory posts are unwelcome.

DigitalIndustry might be eccentric and annoy the hell out of many people, but he makes many excellent points. He is also, unlike KJO, a supporter of QRK.

Digitalindustry is intelligent and experienced in Crypto space. He is exasperated by imbeciles and trolls, and baits them mercilessly.


KJO is merely a hapless victim of that baiting.

.. a gain of trust in Coin X would increase the ratio of Coin B/ Coin X,  even without a decrease in trust in coin B.)

except the increased trust in coin X would result in proportionally bigger gains for existing holders, considering the market caps, and decreased trust in B would result in proportionally bigger losses in Coin B?

Am i following or on another planet?



Without going into excessive detail, I would caution that it is not possible to make an empirical judgement : there are too many variables, too many participants, and the variations are reflexive (trading markets). It is just the same as predicting daily index and stock movements.

I get error-message when i import the sharecoin-wallet in lottoshares or in sharecoinwallet.
In both cases it says:
"Warning: error reading wallet.dat! All keys read correctly, but transaction data or address book entries might be missing or incorrect."
Any ideas?

I solved it with the dumpprivkey + importprivkey commands.
LTS are coming  Smiley

can't sync lts wallet.  Sad

Sharecoin doesn't sync, no need. LTS, use latest version, should be OK.

OP has predicted a 1000x fiat-denominated gain in Monero (equates to a ~35 billion dollar market cap after all supply is minted) here, so it wouldn't surprise me that quite a few people are attracted and have thrown a few btc down, especially after the recent price-movements with BTC.


Monero is differentiated from other fantasmic Alt coins by the following:



LOL

Every community thinks it has the answers.

Now wonder who have interest to weaken both XMR and BBR communities by playing them off against each other...

It is a kiss of DEATH to Bitcoin if some "there" try to quench the "competition".

The Monero camp is composed of large Bitcoin holders and if we collectively withdraw our support, at this point it means a steep dive for Bitcoin.

I did not even mention the possibility that other honest bitcoiners might also want to switch allegiance. I know there are many. Bitcoin attracts scammers but also honest people.

Seriously...... I am trying to understand what you are saying, but it seems you are suggesting that a few big bitcoin holders can collectively tank Bitcoin. If this is the case, then Bitcoin is the biggest scam ever.

I have always held that old holders have to divest theirs coins for Bitcoin to move forward, I think your statement makes me certain of that sentiment now.

Please sell your stash asap so we can all move along.

Yes...the suggestion that there is a 'group' of holders 'supporting' the price (or able to influence it) might have held water in 2011, but not now.

What a strange thing to say: even if it was true, revealing it on a public forum would be foolish and reckless.

How is it possible anyone can 'support' bitcoin ?

I do not think it feasible that any group of holders can influence the price like that: surely the holders are now too diverse ?

There are a lot of impatient, impolite posters here.

If they intended to hold Supercoin , they would see things are being resolved, and no significant % of coins can be lost.

It might seem therefore that the impatient people either intend to dump straightaway, or are trying to scam someone. Please be civil.

I also see much confirmation that Bitcoin is not being adopted by most of those who hear about it


Nearly half of all Americans know what bitcoin is but most don't trust the virtual currency, according to a new survey.

Just 13 percent of all respondents to a Harris Interactive poll said they prefer bitcoin over gold. Bitcoin has been embroiled in a series of controversies over the past few months, including inappropriate use and the shuttering of its highest-profile exchange.

Those negative headlines have taken their toll: The survey, conducted on behalf of financial innovation platform Yodlee, found that the more people know about bitcoin the less they trust it. People in the more tech-savvy regions in the West were better acquainted with bitcoin than those in other regions, but only 7 percent said they would invest in it over gold.

The cryptocurrency's biggest fan base: Men in the 18-to-34 age group, 22 percent of whom said they would choose bitcoin over gold.


I started proselytizing and talking about BTC around 2 years ago, and the same issues have regularly arisen.

(Like many people, I didn't 'invest' any meaningful amount because I was more enthused by the principle and technology, than by any prospect of monetary gain).

The vast majority will either:

a. Have no use for BTC (yet)

b. Not trust it enough to use it as a money replacement.

c. Not understand the true nature/implications of the revolutionary technology.


It splits roughly along demographic lines and I would conjecture that the strongest supporters need to grow and age into more influential positions before the real step change in adoption can happen.

Fiat will be dominant for some time, and the real game changer might even, ironically, be fiat administered by blockchain.

WOW I read this thread and its like SUPER didnt ever FORK!!! Positive energy, price, all is like before!  Cool
Keep the rockets running!


The issues have been dealt with in a proper and professional manner by Supercointeam.

 These sorts of problems are inevitable in every coin (especially those in a progressive development), and the quality of the dev and community is shown by the manner in which issues are resolved.

This development takes forever.
I wanted to invest one year ago.
A year is eternity in crypto.


I guess 'investment' is not considered to be good for the project.

Long time trader/lurker on the scene. Finally want to jump in here and offer my 0.02 btc...

Nothing wrong with discussing and speculating on price/market movement, but I believe I speak for a large number of VIA followers when I say all of that is superbly shortsighted considering the real world potential this coin has. What the team has done and continues to do in terms of development and "big picture" vision, with maturity and humility, is commendable to say the least. Viacoin is easily one of the greatest advancements in crypto.

Bottom line: keep up the good work, team. You're nimble and progressive in ways the current BTC bureaucracy is incapable of at present. Cheers!

+1

I always like to refute any price discussion on crypto threads for that reason. Trading cryptocurrencies is fairly pointless. In most cases one can expect a longer term binary outcome. Huge adoption or failure. Risk-spreading is better than price-following.

The sell walls are eaten Cheesy Very good signal for huge rise

Except for that little 8.9 Btc one at 46k.  Undecided

Little indeed!   Cheesy Grin

to 50k and beyond!

In my book sell walls disappearing are negative for price. That is the usual way.
1276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SUPERCOIN] Mandatory Update V.3.1.1 on: September 04, 2014, 11:21:55 PM

I have send my all my Supercoin (3165 SUPER) to my 2nd wallet at my other PC.
This is not a copy but a completely new wallet.
After downloading all blocks my 3165 SUPER is unconfirmed and conflicted!

Anyone know what to do?

On both PC's i'm using the latest version of Supercoin.



Wait until things settle down. Your coins exist on one chain or another. Keep both wallet .dats safe and you will be able to access them
1277  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SUPERCOIN] Mandatory Update V.3.1.1 on: September 04, 2014, 11:16:14 PM

Who knows if u were on the fork or out of it, but seems to me that your one of the weak hands not trying to insult you but you panicked and try to dump all the SuperCoins you have but see what happen for not being patient and not trust Super,

Now to all of us this's a lesson to be learn from weak hands dont learn it the hard way plz...    


That is an interesting perspective. Anyone sending coins to an exchange would be wanting to dump them.

I see a lot of posters making sudden hysterical decisions here, and moving one way then another. Best to wait and do nothing.

I have lost coins in transactions both ways from an exchange, and unaccepted stakes as well. For now, I am going to wait, and accept the outcome when things are resolved.

If you would like to see a currency added to this list, please make a request at https://poloniex.com/coinRequest. Coins will be added to or removed from the list at the discretion of Poloniex staff.

plz mail

Did it a while ago. They still din't add it to a voting list.

Animecoin needs to recover a bit more first. It is making steady progress, and should be noticed a little more soon.

I would have thought that Peter Todd (previously a core bitcoin dev) would have enough on his plate as he recently (few weeks ago) joined the Viacoin dev team.

We had already talked to Peter about consulting for us before that. He does various consulting work, especially open source projects. He explained on reddit (go find it if you care) that one of his consulting clients happens to be Viacoin, and he didn't even know much about what they are doing. In typical pump-and-dump fashion, Viacoin quickly turned that consulting gig into him being their "chief scientist" and promptly put out a slicked up press release about it.

In short you are reading too much into it, and for what its worth we won't be wasting any of our donation money writing press releases and trying to promote a consulting gig as something more than what it is.



Thanks for setting it straight.

...nation-states to adopt their own digital currencies.

And what does that change? Most developed nations already use digital currency, as most payments are in electronic form. How does this affect crypto currencies though, which are stateless? Care to explain?

Most developed nations already use digiTIZED currency, not digital. Fiat currency poorly adapted for a system in which it is alien.
