I'm actually not making loans actively right now. The last one was a bit of an exception. Thanks for the interest.

Let's look at track record. On Feb 10 you made pretty much the same post asking whether it would exceed $1 billion this year. Took a month.

So obviously ETH will surpass BTC in market cap within 3 months.

Repayment of 0.3135 is due 2016-03-28

Repayment address: 1EQf4S1ttQtxTa8N5EJoDtmcnjKLsadYPd

funding sent: 662646e9764c6c65082b5d159702e62e171a11cb220297a063cfcbe2ce505d38

How is it possible to bump this thread after two years and not discuss Ethereum discuss anything other than Ethereum?

Yes, Arux has made official builds. I will be uploading them shortly.

Updated the OP. Thanks for doing these Phantas!

Is there a current and complete white paper?

how are you starting mining.

If you are starting it in simplewallet, you can add a thread count after the command. For example:

start_mining 2

If you start it on the bitmonerod command line with "--start-mining address" then you can add "--mining-threads thread-count"

Usually your cache size divided by 2 MB.


Both.

Solo mining XMR is very much a long shot. Think of it like a raffle. Maybe someday you will get some free coins, usually you won't. The main advantage of it is helping the network, so it is definitely encouraged.

If you want to get a small (to very small) amount of coins quickly then pool mining is better. I you want more coins it is better to buy them.

It was once proposed to rename AEON to Ratcoin

I would only disagree in so far as given that we are down near a #100 ranking, there are many similar-value coins there neither you nor I probably know anything about. While we happen to know a lot about AEON, others probably don't, which puts all these smaller coins in a somewhat comparable group. So it is hard to judge which of those many coins may be also be clean PoW coins.

As far as coins in the top 20-30 that are more well known I would tend to agree.

Regarding Monero, while the price has been somewhat weak over a two year period (as you say, whatever the reason, there was certainly an unsustainable pump early on), the market cap is now well into the all-time-high zone. That is not something you see much (if ever) with two-year-old coins, other than Bitcoin.

I just clicked through every single older coin in the top 10 (ignoring the unseasoned ones such as Ethereum, Factom and Maidsafe). Not a single one other than Monero is anywhere near its market cap peak.

The same applies to all of the top 20, with the exception of FedoraCoin (TIPS) which has had an insane pump recently. What is going on there?

The thread is. Not much trading here any more but no harm in discussing it. There have been some OTC trades done via the ANN thread as well, which is okay as long as it doesn't become too spamish.

The main thing is giving up a lot of your privacy. The remote node could theoretically log all the transactions you receive and send, and also log your IP address (unless you use Tor, but then you are connecting through an exit node which raises other issues).

In terms of security from the perspective of losing coins there is little to no risk, as your private keys remain entirely on your own computer. The main thing is that the remote node could, in theory, serve up fake blockchain information to you and trick you into thinking you received a payment when you really didn't. If you then delivered on your end of a trade on the basis of that false payment information, you could lose money. That's pretty far fetched though, and in practice there is little risk of losing funds.

Too late.

But then, I'm not fighting trolls here, just pointing out that some people supporting the project are ineffective in terms of communications.

Tangle based consensus is cool, if it works.

Thank you Phantas. I updated the OP with the new link.

If we knew then what we know now, we all would, right? Nothing wrong with that.

Was Nxt not also pure-ICO? I wasn't paying attention to Nxt when it launched, so maybe I got that wrong.

I asked a question about similarities because distribution methods and behavior of investors and community members could be related. I find the premise interesting. Do you disagree? If you do, that is fair enough, as I said I was just asking a question


^ More evidence of fucktardary in the form of defensiveness and bullshit right there. I already responded that it wasn't clear to me whether those were the same person or two people repeatedly making the same low-content posts using large type that does nothing at all for your credibility.

As for your pumping or anti-speculation, it was clear to me from before the ICO when you were pushing misleadingly exaggerated claims about the potential of the IOT market and IOTA's likely role in it (and I clearly identified such with specific quotes from your own sources) that you were a pumper.

Your supposed "anti-speculator" statements are almost certainly based on a legal strategy to frame your offering as a product and not an investment. It likely fools very not many (though maybe a few do think you are sincere), and certainly not me.

Independent of all this I do not know whether IOTA will be successful in some manner. It may be. The above should not be construed as criticism of the coin nor of its potential for speculation, as it is not intended that way. It could completely fail to live up to the wildly exaggerated pre-ICO claims of iotatoken and still be very successful (or not)!

When I make a specific recommendation positive or negative on a coin, which I do on rare occasion, I'm very clear about it. This is not one.

Your DOS experience is about equal to my Windows knowledge. Isn't there something you can do with right click and properties to set a command line on an icon? Maybe it has to be a shortcut?

Windows experts please help....
