Is never to late.
If there are more innovative alt-coins based on different protocols beter it is
for the communitiy because the it will be impossible for the goverments to shut them all down.
The market the peaople will decide which alt-coin to use.

Thanks to all developers which are trying to implement something new and
innovatie which can help people to gain more freedom
and are not guided only by selfinterest
but want to make this world a better place for all of us.

This Is Why Bitcoin Is Fundamentally Broken
http://www.businessinsider.com/this-is-why-bitcoin-is-broken-2013-11

There are not so much info on this coin in this forum lately neither it seems
to be traded on the exchanges or widely used within cryptocoin community
Are there any services created around this coin or that accepts this coin?!
Who is using it?

I agree with you!
The system actually never changes!

People or families that were once in power are always in power.
Look at the eastern european countries "new democracies" who is on power in this countries today!
Same communist motherfuckers ex KGB bastards are the richest and hold every key position in every eastern European country.

Therefore the same applies to bitcoin alt-coin.
Who has or owns more FIAT currency  will also own more crypto currency in future.

Anyway related to the captcha thing I found an interesting article maybe will be of good use.

Is not funny but is true
anyway if it does not disappear until I retire I think it will be so worthless that it will be like it disappeared.

I never understood what guarantees someone has that his assets will be secured by
opening a corporation (company) in Panama or similar country.

I mean if I would like to open a company there who do I have to trust?
Do I need to go there to do I it personally or how is this done?
Internet if full of companies that offers offshore company setups packages
so how can I know that this are not scams.

Maybe they can even open a company with a bank account there but when the money
starts accumulating on the account what is the guarantee that it won't suddenly disappear?

Hello all, I'm following this
thread and is see lot of arguing over nothing
lot of bla bla.
It seem that some people don't understand that technology by itself can't
save us form ourselves.

In my opinion there is no anonymity
like there is no democracy,
like there is no free market,
like there was never communism etc..

this all are man made inventions which never worked.

To be truly anonymous you should exclude yourself from society
live somewhere outlaw grow your own food produce your own electricity
not buying food in stores and use energy from distribution line
otherwise there is always a record somewhere of your existence.

If the government wants to find you they will find you actually if they want
they can put on a law on that everybody using bitcoin are terrorists and
that they are threat to national security and for that reason
should this people be all locked up in jail like guantanamo.

Then some of you will say but I would be able to use bitcoin (alt-coin) anonymously by using i2p tor
or other technology but I would say to you that they can also fake to be bitcoin or (crypto currercy) users
an put up false merchant pages false announcements false profile on forums and other pages
to catch people that uses cryptocoins like they do now to catch pedophiles or like
they catch prostitution clients on the streets by putting fake whores (female police officers)
and wait for people to hook up.

So bottom line technology can't resolve this issues that are mentioned here
instead only the "majority" can make the change by change I mean real political change.
As somebody mentioned "No Money Exists Without the Majority" i say
"No Change Exists Without the Majority" and to change all this things
the Majority should become aware of the the situation but currently as I see the Majority
doesn't care to much right now.

Cheers.

Thanks.

For question under point

1) for locked file I thought of an unencrypted file
without password protection that was locked by using rar locking option only which
prevents the user from changing the content or the rar archive.
By using only this option the content is still readable or extractable without the password
but can't be altered by the user in the rar archive itself.
I tried to alter a file name in the archive by opening the archive in text editor and changing the file name
and then saving the file again.
After I have opened it again in the winrar I receved an error that the file is corrupted.

2) so actually there is no threat from a normal pc user but could it be from a corporation or government
which could have a lot of computing power?

I have few questions too but about rar files security.

1) Does somebody knows if is it possible to unlock a locked rar file
and change for example a file name or directory name in it without
corrupting it ?

2) Is it possible to crack a password protected (encrypted) rar file if
let say 20 to 30 characters  random password was used to secure it?
If yes how long could the cracking process last on a computer grid?

Why not produce food and sell for alt-coins instead?

Nice idea.

But how to test alt coins that for example are not forks of bitcoin and don't use
the blockchain and the POW for validation?
Actually I wonder how the functionality and resistence against attacks
of a p2p networks is tested in general.

I want a currency that has following features:

1) should be used as medium of exchange for real goods and services
2) should NOT be used for speculation , investment, hoarding and similar crap
3) should be environmentally friendly that means should be minted(mined) on old PC machines
    so that people with less resources can also participate in the network
4) should be multiplatform (win,Linux,macos and so on)
5) should be open source
6) should be decentralized
7) user friendly - easy to install and configure
secure against hacking and take downs
9) should grand user anonymity

what else?

actually not becaue there won't be hookers then I mean women that are hookers
out of necessity to survive.

Hello.

This is just an article that I found on the internet.
http://www.trueactivist.com/money-is-not-needed-with-energy-abundance/

The thread title reminds me of http://www.digitalcoin.info/

@Praxis:
I can't agree what are you stated here.
Here is an example:
Imagine that you work in car factory assembling car parts and you get paid for this.
Let say person X invents a robot that does the same job you do but it can do it 24/7 and
faster then you. Then the investor (factory owner) will pay to person "X" bigger
amount of money to buy the robot.
Person "X"  will becomes RICHER , the investor (factory owner) will also become richer soon
but what will you become in this case?!

Did the innovation help everyone?!

Can't you use existing time services to sync the clients something like this maybe: http://www.ntp.org/ ?

Yes I also think that this could be a scam.

Sorry for my ignorance but I wonder how this folding@home works?
I have few questions which are maybe off topic but I'm curious to know.

1) How you know that this folding@home is used for the purpose stated "to find cure for cancer" and
not for other purposes like produce biotech weapons or similar evil staff?

2) If this is really used "to find cure for cancer" how are the users that
participate in the project rewarded? I have read that some point are awarded based upon
calculation performance but what can a user do with this points?
can they be exchanged for real goods and services or fiat money?

3) If the answer to the above question 2) is negative then I wonder why people are participating in this?!
   maybe they are motivated by the noble cause to help scientists to find cure for cancer but
   from this new questions arises and seems that people don't ask themselves like:

   Will the cure for cancer (medicine, drug )
      once found will be free of charge for all people to cure themselves as we
      gave resources (cpu + gpu + electricity) for free or they
      will have to pay astronomical amount of money to buy it?

   If this above would not be the case then the following workflow will be achieved:

   step 1) people give cpu+gpu power free of charge
   step 2) scientists payed by universities or PRIVATE COMPANIES take this power to find cure for cancer
   step 3) when the cure is found the patent is registered end sold to a pharmaceutical PRIVATE CORPORATION
         which will produce the medicine
   step 4) to cure themselves people will pay for the medicine
         for which they already had paid (electricity + CPU + GPU power) by participating in the project
         
   step 5) profit goes to PHARMACEUTICAL MAFIA and they all LOL how they fooled the people with noble cause
         and make profit on them.
