What a fucking retard topic.

Monero already is by far the number one, technology-wise, community-wise, best coin hands down number one above all / except the price that's gonna follow gradually. If you want a lot of money (you probably do) and become a millionaire along the line (you probably want that) buy Monero while it is cheap as fuck. It's hands down the best possible coin, even Bitcoin is nothing against Monero. We have real privacy and real developers, world adoption imminent. All other altcoins are scams at their best and just outright ridiculously crappy. Needless to say if you invest in other coins you will lose your invested money whereas you will be rich buying Monero. This is the very law of success. Everyone can become multimillionaire with Monero, I'd argue 1-2 BTC investment is enough to become millionaire through XMR. And the best about it is that you won't have to convert to FIAT because it will be accepted all over the world within 5 years. Yes you read that right, even your mother will use it. No matter where, Monero will be all around the world payable via NFC.

Monero gives a flying fuck about tards talking crap like OP

Just read your post, and then get back to us about how which poster has a clear learning difficulty.

"What a fucking retard topic".

General rule of thumb for alt coins - the more trolls it attracts, the more potential it has.

That is based on absolutely nothing other than you want XMR to grow.

Incidentally, I am not a Troll. I have an honest agenda, which is to point out that XMR is, in my opinion, a coin going nowhere.

I would not have bothered, but the shills and what appears to be a blatant attempt to use BTCtalk as a platform to spread propaganda by a significant number of people needs countering.

If you're secure, then posts like mine would be ignored, surely?

a lot of people want to cash out of whatever alt they hold.

The issue is fees and waiting time.

I will take LTC at BTC-e price. If you have A.N Other Coin, just convert it over.

I have a long posting history and will pay in paypal.

The Monero shill boys, taking breaks between school or looking after their mums, have been rather vocal.

But I suspect the price hit a week or two ago was the height of Monero's promise.

This will be a dirty sell off, and  expect the duped punters to throw it all away after it drops another 25%.

Dead Coin Walking.

Funny thing is, all the fuss made, yet nobody apart from a handful of people even knew how to use the wallet (64 bit only, and no promises that it will work).

Oh dear.

166  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Official "repitela is a nazi asshole douchebag turd thread" on: September 13, 2014, 12:23:53 AM

this is just one of many complex social issues that is being simplified by categorizing anyone without the proper social wordview (of which there are many differing non socially acceptable views) with a blanket derogatory term.

the issue has nothing to do with gays.  rather making it acceptable to demonize and punish anyone who does not hold the correct wordview.

Segregation was pretty hip and worldview at one point, too. Still is in certain parts, I'm told.

FYI, you are using a complete BS straw man argument, also an association fallacy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies

Most arguments that support homosexual new-worldview are straw man arguments or are association fallacies.

The very core moral position of homosexuality being wholesome is a daisy chained list of false arguments: natural, compassionate, emotional, loving, against religion. blah blah blah blah blah

If there is a single defining world event that epitomizes the group think of the modern internet community it is the embracing of homosexuality based on a never ending attack on logic and reason.

The most Hilarious reality is that the belief system built up to support of homosexuality is actually a new religion, of course ironically most homosexual supports actually abhor religion, unless i guess it is the one of their own making.



The second time you have pulled the Strawman, and the seond time you have then made an absurd argument, which is actually ..... fallacious!

Tragic.

I think you're missing the point.  It is rational not to want to spend time and money visiting someone who will despise them.

Oh course, you are free, in some sense, to dislike any social group you choose to dislike.  On the other hand, once you start asserting such a freedom it is rational for any visitor to want to determine whether they happen to fall into a category you dislike, for the simple reason that it would significantly detract from their visit.

I think it is not good to be gay because the Bible says so and I am not in a position to change it

Oh my, and a homophobe too.


What does homophobe even mean? If you think homosexuals are creepy and nasty, does that make you a homophobe?

If I call homosexuals homos, am I am homophobe?

I think calling someone a homophobe is bigoted, and in nasty-denial.





In answer to your questions:

1. Yes
2. Yes (given 1 and your knowledge of how the word is used by people that believe 1)


In answer to your statement:

3. That makes no sense, your argument effectively rules out the possibility of the most heinous crimes committed against gay people ever being described as caused by homophobia.

You should get a job as a judge, in Alabama, 60 years ago.

I wish I could put into words all that I know about mr. Risto Pietila. But it's too much. I think you must have been around for a few years and have seen his entrance in the community and the ensuing drama to really get it. A lot of this history is deleted from the forum and may be lost forever (anything from 300k USD predictions and having unlimited money to mental hospital is part of this chronicle). I will instead make it short and say this: I believe Risto is an honest man, a man of high integrity. If you make a deal with Risto, he will follow though and expect you to do the same. From what I understand he is a voluntarist, the most righteous philosophy. Has Risto ever broken the non-aggression principle? Not that I know. This is all that matters. There is nothing nazi about Risto.

Also, Risto has been, and continues to be, one of the most entertaining forum users. His "showing off" and the madness/drama that ensues is quite simply hilarious. I love it, and hope risto won't change.

Risto is master in the art of trolling and I'm sure he gets some good laughs out of you people. I certainly do. But Risto also cracks me up. I don't see what the hate is all about. Risto posted a freaking picture of himself in front of a car and a hotel where he owned neither, he is living the supernode lifestyle and has UNLIMITED money, how can you NOT love this guy? https://i.imgur.com/JiYOga7.jpg  Grin

My thinking goes like this:

- Everybody has freedom of thought
- Therefore I have freedom of thought
- Someone is gay
- I think it is not good to be gay because the Bible says so and I am not in a position to change it
- But he also has freedom of thought to think it is OK
- I may retain my opinion because my freedom of thought, and he his, and everything is just fine, it's childish to fight over opinions


Your thinking is certainly wrong. Freedom of thought is not a desirable state. Uncaused thoughts, coming from nowhere would be a recipe for disaster. Your thoughts are a bundle of psycholgical states caused by the external world and your history. They are determined, or at least largely determined (the latter might be claimed by a compatabilist)

But anyway, you contradict yourself by saying you have freedom of thought and then quoting the bible as master of all thoughts.

Austere Nordic Protestantism Never goes away.

The Bible said a lot of shit, so grab it all, and live your life according to all its contradictions. You will then truly have "freedom of thought". or better put: Psychological chaos.
171  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / CallmeJake BlockCrawler removing Network H/s on: September 11, 2014, 10:49:32 PM
I would appreciate a response to this. does anyone know how to remove the function getnetworkhashps?

Basically, so it does not appear on the Crawler.

I've tried doing it, but I seem to slice off the right hand side of the Crawler, so get no information.

The reason I am asking is I do not have that function as an rpc call, so it just shows up as "error", which looks pretty stupid.

Sorry to post the whole file, but if anyone answers, it might be that they spot it right away without ever having used the BC

172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: September 11, 2014, 01:06:12 AM
What I am interested in, is why Poloniex took XMR on? It threw out the second alt, replaced it with XMR, and then suddenly gave it all these extra markets that LTC never got.

I'm pretty sure what happened is they added all the CryptoNote coins, probably not knowing which would be the most successful (and indeed in the early days they all had their high volume pumps), XMR became the most persistently popular and really made it for the exchange (e.g. they made enough from commissions on XMR trading to pay back the losses from the earlier hack). Once that happened they switched from LTC to XMR for the low-value coin markets to capitalize on that volume and try to extend their position as the leading XMR exchange.


This is unprecedented, other exchanges have tried with Doge and Primecoin in addition to LTC, but Poloniex effectively alienated all litecoin owners. I traded a fair bit there, btc or ltc. I no longer visit the site. It's a shame, because they have some nice support agents.

Maybe LTC is just so shit, yet I'm sensing low volume on XMR markets, and as a "guess", lower than LTC  had (please don't include the LTC/XMR trade at the moment as a counter argument. that existed anyway.

Hmm ... maybe I'll buy some IFC, and trade it for XMR.

Then I intend to invest everything in XMR, get some leverage and shit. Gavin Anderson/Andersson once said BTC needed to be more private, so there is clear proof that XMR will make us all rich.



174  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: September 11, 2014, 12:48:11 AM
Not much of a price move, back to the sideways trading, maybe?

I really cannot understand that a coin would have so much volume, so many "senior members" suddenly speaking for it, yet the price stays the same for days on end.

Look at Doge (urgh) in comparison, you see movement, not stagnation.

Remember Feathercon?

Investing is about investing into something at the right time.

I also had Bitcoin in 2011 and sold most for cheap, way too cheap. Risto was way more clever, he profited from people like me.
There were a shitton of people with Bitcoin in 2011 but most of them were like me, so its not only about knowing about something, its about making the right decisions.
Even if you guys did know about BTC in 2011 i bet you didn´t hold them through all the bubbles, like most people.

Go away with your straw man arguments...

How is that a strawman? It's innuendo or inference at best, based on there being no demonstration of anything else in the closet, but plenty of talk and rhetoric regardless of that.

Taking things out of context like you just did, actually puts the strawman tag on you.

Utterly pathetic post, especially as you showed no reason to believe that a one-off success is reason to attach being "clever" to it.

You're a walking Fallacy, so I suggest you keep quiet.

Show me a coin where the dev holds less than 1% of the coins in circulation.

If someone's gonna own 1%+, who'd be better to have it than the dev(s)?

With the high regard that I have to some devs of some coins, in economic matters I trust much more those who have actual success to show in being shrewd with money - entrepreneurs, successful entrepreneurs, self-made men, the ones that have not succeeded by bootlicking governments, but who rather have a track record that governments have continued to attack them, closing their businesses, confiscating their assets, accused them in court on charges based on their own anti-competition laws, yet they have not lost heart, and still have an unwavering spirit to accompish what yet needs to be accomplished. The type Ayn Rand wrote about. The little that we must yield to central management of any kind, I would like to hand over to these men. If there are concentrations of private wealth in this world, I would sleep most happily if it is in the hands of these men.

You made money - amount not disclosed - from buying bitcoin in 2011. You are referred to in your country as the man that made money by buying bitcoin in 2011. So you got lucky, and you might want to play entrepreneur, but you're just a guy that bought bitcoin in 2011.

Are there any Whales in Monero?

Maybe, but the term is used so readily. Mark Karpeles was a Whale, someone that could affect big markets on a whim (or scam).

Maybe these Whales spoken of today are people with a fair amount of money, but really nothing more than sharks in a big pack.

This thread stays on 4 pages forever. i wonder why?

A whale in Monero would be one with at least 50k XMR, we have about 7-10 such players. Monero differs from some coins in that for the big holders Monero is still a portfolio investment, they have not gotten "rich" via Monero. They were wealthy, and put the required BTC200 and now own Monero. If you are dev-rich, you don't have other wealth and are not a "whale".

Bitcoin is bigger than the players. Monero, at least now, is smaller than many people who are playing it. That makes it interesting.

like  party for greedy people? I guess this is a project for people that made money by doing nothing very much in 2011.
