The comment about 19 witnesses also misunderstands how Steem consensus works.

Unlike BTS there is not a set number of witnesses. The top 19 are primary witnesses but everyone else who gets at least one vote is a timeshared backup witness (more votes means more time). In fact you can just vote yourself in as a timeshared witness. It absolutely makes sense to vote for people who aren't in the top 19 if you think they are good witnesses. One in particular who comes to mind is masteryoda, who seems capable and an all-around good guy (though I only know him briefly from online). He has my votes and IMO should get a few more votes, but that is not to disparage anyone else.

Doesn't matter what service the developers offer or create here. This is a scam until the OP clearly states "Don't buy the coin on exchanges, because the developers will dump on you from the millions of coins they hold and stake (80%+ of the supply). Get it ONLY for free from the website, from where it's centrally issued for content."

The investment advice might be okay but the bold part is wrong. The content rewards are issued by the blockchain, not the website and there is nothing "centrally issued" about it. The only thing in terms of coins that is done via the web site is new users getting a small amount to seed their accounts when they sign up.

i wonder why xmr development were focused on thing that we cannot see such " increase of anonimity " Huh arent their coin anon already Huh how would we rate their improvement Huh 


sound like a bunch of hot air to me LOL

Nice concern trolling, but I think you missed the memo that would have told you that anonymity, like fungibility, isn't a yes/no proposition in cryptosystems, but a more/less proposition. Thankfully the Monero team has cryptographers that are actively working to reduce or eliminate attack vectors, in this case with I2p developers. Would you like to dig a deeper hole and second guess I2p developers too?  Roll Eyes

Trolling ?
Well lets put this into perspective shall we ?
Notice how this topic is NOT self-moderated ?
Now let's go look at all the Monero topics  Roll Eyes

The main Monero thread is not self-moderated: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0

The topic discussion threads are very lightly moderated for the purpose of keeping those threads on topic. For example, I can't remember the last time any posts on the mining or support threads were moderated (maybe never). On the speculation thread it happens occasionally (typically every few weeks) and when I do so, I quote the offending post in 1pt type, so anyone can still see the deleted post and is free to criticize my moderation as biased. For some strange reason that never happens.

No, wrong, it's moderated son, we all know that.

Don't we all hope Xi Jinping, Putin, Merkel, Hellary, Craig Wright, Theymos, copy-leftist Gregory Maxwell, and globalist-ideologue Julian Assange control our future:

Craig Wright? How the hell is that scammer going to control anything?

DigixDAO - WTF is this? Is this just on the ethereum chain?

Yes it is allegedly gold-backed tokens on ethereum. Because backed tokens that ended up all being scams on their own blockchains become legit when you sprinkle magic ETH dust on them.

MaidSafeCoin, unknown

Also a token, on OMNI (mastercoin)

Cryptocurrencies are volatile but actual investors never get 'skinned' by swings, only inferior traders trying to compete with superior traders. The same applies to cryptocurrencies, stocks, metals, or anything else.

You analyze long term prospects, buy, put the coins into cold storage, and unless long-term prospects change (which happens infrequently) do the actual hard part: wait and do nothing. Short term swings are of no consequence whatsoever.


TLDR...

Cheeeep coin guys.... buy buy buy LOOLLL

No, I leave up to you whether to invest or not. My statements on this are pretty clear. But if you do actually decide to invest (as opposed to trying to compete with the other traders in a zero-sum* trading game), then short term swings are of no consequence to you.

* Actually negative sum, given exchanges taking roughly 1/4-1/2% out of each trade.

I'm good at the hard part Grin  Actually I also donate money as it might shorten the waiting time Wink

That's a valid point. I was drawing a contrast between trading and not trading but doing things that increase the value of your investment is also useful and important.

How come this community dont have at least Avatar campaign?
Youtube video?
Such good money but poor marketing strategy.

You see "poor marketing strategy", I see a great opportunity for you:

1. Buy Monero at prices depressed by the current "poor marketing"
2. Improve the marketing to merely average (should be easy!)
3. Profit

No amount of denial and lies will change Monero's very high development score ranking. https://www.coingecko.com/en?sort_by=developer_score

can we see list of development Huh

is it some thing like these ::

add missing overflow check for already generated coins   ---> fixing bug
fix pending transfers fee display in show_transfers          --->  fixing bug
fix send queue limit warning spam
avoid deadlock waiting for send queue to drain

EDIT ::: looolwut they were all bug fixing, instead of  " development "

Idiot, bug fixing is (a huge part of) part of software development.

Software development is the process of computer programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications and frameworks involved in a software release life cycle and resulting in a software product.

Let's look at the most recent commits for Dash:

Transaction View: LastMonth calculation fixed
typo in translation config
travis: for travis generating an extra build
Fix Misbehaving counting during Masternode Sync.
add missing maps cleaning in CMasternodeMan::Clear()
fix #629
bumping to v56 for next dev iteration
huge update for Chinese and Japanese(include it in the list now)
Fixed IX confirmation bug for gettransaction
v55
fix LP inter-mixing by not initiating new queues by them
add mnbudgetvoteraw
translations: vi to 100%

Other than translations and updating of a version number in a header file (v55/v56), every single one of these are bug fixes.

Nothing unusual or bad about this by the way, so I'm not criticizing Dash here in any way, just giving you a point of reference to help correct your ignorance.

The Shitcoiner's Guide to Shitcoin Logic

This is a handy guide for those who are sick and tired of technical arguments. Don't be the victim of technowizardry and logic, don't let the cryptocurrency world be ruled by math, fuck math! Math is for eggheads and dorks and no future is going to be dictated by protocols. Cryptocurrency is easy and a good marketing plan and these helpful techniques will be all you'll need to put nerds on standby and rocket your shitcoin to the moon and beyond.

#1. No matter how dire the warning from those technobabling nerds sound, they can be easily refuted with one word--JEALOUSY. Say it often and say it proud and don't let their theoretical arguments get in the way of you and your rightful shitcoin future. If they tell you the algowhateverthingy is broken, say "These blankcoin motherfuckers have been saying that for months and look, our coin is still alive and stronger than ever! They're just jealous that (our coin is ahead of them on coinmarketcap.com) or (our coin has twice the innovation as that has-been and every day we're eating into their market cap)." If you can work SCARED and JEALOUS into the same post, all the better.

It's hilarious to watch them in their IRC planning chan, from what i can gather they are collectively running over 100 accounts between them focused against bytecoin, DASH, MaidSafe, ETH etc.

Or you could be completely making that up.

jwinterm probably doesn't want to hype his own project but lightWallet is one of the "unofficial" (whatever that means) ones that is worth checking out (not a browser plugin). It works either with a remote node (sort of a thin spv-ish wallet) or as a GUI for your own full node.

how long time for synch monero wallet?
no windows qt, what is the program for synch wallet?

Speed depends on your hardware and connection. It can be anywhere from one hour to days.

The program that does the syncing is bitmonerd. Once it is synced you use simplewallet (or one of the GUI wrappers such as lightWallet) to communicate with it.

Hi all,

could we add aeon to steemit like is on reddit ?

Steemit doesn't appear to have anything like subreddits (with custom stylesheets, etc.), but anyone can post stories under category "aeon" (Choose "Other category" then type in "aeon") and they should show up under steemit.com/trending/aeon
