Did any news lead to the price downturn of late?

But there's no way to audit the number of coins in existence.

Is anyone else concerned that MaidSafe doesn't use a blockchain or any kind of a ledger? Bitcoin's ledger is obviously central to its existence and I wonder if MaidSafe can be as secure without one.

To me it looks like the emission curve is the biggest thing working against an XMR price increase (or sideways move).
It fine for now. The price being sideways will be good for the mid/longterm future. The emission curve is preventing sideways movement from what I can tell.

Anyone know who has been buying XRP and why? The price has been on quite a tear lately.
|
|
|
I transferred a small amount of XRP to the online Ripple wallet a long time ago and now I can't remember my passphrase. Just thought I'd run this by you guys before I write it off. I'm screwed right?

I bought a small amount of XRP on justcoin.com a long time ago. Recently I got an email that said they're shutting down due to bank issues. Then I read that they got hacked. Now I'm getting email from them saying they're coming back under new ownership. Does anyone know what's really happening with these guys?

So the basic idea is to move the market and then profit from the momentum you created?

|
To my dismay, the core source seems to be closed currently with plans to open later.

I suppose there's no way to stop this and we all have to watch the waves until Average Joe has a good reason to buy in.

The BTC price is a little frustrating. I keep reading about "market manipulation" dragging it down. How does that play out exactly?

I looked for the NXT FreeMarket repository to see how they're dealing with problems like spamming the blockchain, reputation, escrow, multisig (does it use that?) price fluctuations, etc. I couldn't find it, is it open source? Can the community see how this product has been made?
https://bitbucket.org/blackyblack/freemarketThanks for your response.

On the node issue: Yes, you need to either run a node yourself or connect to someone running a node in order to see the network.
Hi Sam, was your comment made in response to the issue I raised? If so, I think it's worth pointing out that you also need to run a node to connect to FreeMarket but that once you list your items there, it is no longer necessary to run a node since the listings are stored in the NXT blockchain. I am told that with OpenBazaar your node must remain online to keep your listings online because the listings are stored on the computer running the node instead of in the BTC blockchain.

BTC will eventually fall (to other cryptocurrencies), and so will the coins tied with it.
True. BTC is and will be the No 1 coin for long time.
Also true.

Without fees, any marketplace will be full of spam.

A web interface has already been developed (not by the core team, but by another NXT user who liked FreeMarket). They still need an SSL certificate, but here's the address: https://freemarketlite.comThat might work well on a phone browser, I am looking forward to trying that out I could be wrong but I think the web interface was developed by the core team. That NXT user just made his node publicly available so anyone can connect to it over the internet via the standard web interface (and I believe it's overloaded right now). The web interface was made by that same user. The core devs didn't make it. Doesn't the core FreeMarket interface work via a browser pointed to localhost like NRS does? If so, that's a web interface.

How anonymous or not is Freemarket vs OpenBazaar?
I was very disappointed to read that in order to sell something on OpenBazaar, you have to set up a node and keep it running all the time. If your node goes offline, so do your item listings apparently: http://forum.openbazaar.org/index.php?p=/discussion/105/need-a-permanent-node-to-set-up-a-storeThat seems like a potentially huge privacy/security hole and it's not what I'd considered decentralized. I think soon a lot of coins will have decentralized market places.. I could name a few that aren't being discussed in this thread.
Which are there besides OpenBazaar and FreeMarket?

The interface is very simple, I bet it works great on a phone through a browser. You need to be able to connect to someone's node though.
