Has anyone managed to recover some lost value in it? This is a very old case and I never knew how it ended.

yes most the remains were divided awhile back this tread is beating a dead horse unless we start seeing the coins move~ doubtful .. zzz

That's news to me. Is this Paul Vernon's new Chinese girlfriend, of which is not outside the realm of possibility given that at the nascent stage of Cryptsy, BitJohn single-handedly provided support sans pay while stationed in the middle of Afghanistan, not getting paid for his mega hours of service till several months later when Jim Shockney, Paul's ongoing porn sites partner, and his wife, Paul's other close associated, both going back to the late 90's when Paul was stationed at Fort Hood jacking off serving intelligence to 3-, 4- and 5-star Army generals (seriously), came onboard to handle support with his-cum-their (emphasis on cum intended) team of 30+ mostly gals from around the globe under the auspices of a company that was officially defunct prior to the creation of Cryptsy proper (cryptsy.com registered over a year prior), most likely making up the supposed 50+ employees that Cryptsy claimed to have had at one time.

I still have a strong suspicion that if she hasn't already, Lorie Nettles will one day move to China to be reunited with her very, very, very, very, very rich husband, Paul Vernon, his supposed girlfriend being a ruse, perhaps a relative of Lorie.

If you think that's crazy, consider that Jeff Ownby of BFL once worked for BitJohn's father of a company founded by BitJohn's grandfather about two decades earlier, all documented.

yeah didn't the goldcoin dev get the leftover bones ~ and redistribute coins from the cryptsy carcass? :\ hmmm
504  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: bittrex is a scam website - AVOID!- WITH PROOF!! on: January 15, 2018, 08:48:17 AM
''Confirmed scammers'' That's not really true, they are just really unprofessional. Unfortunately the only way to get your coins/money back is by providing them with your personal information. At the end of the day most exchanges will ask you for personal information.

Except their verification process is horribly broken and instead of providing a reasonable solution they will simply lock the account for good. That is about as scammy as it gets. They know that most people won't go to the trouble of getting a new ID card or whatever is needed to pass the verification (if at all possible) so they can sweep up those small amounts.

If this was purely a KYC issue they would work to help their customers. This is not what's happening. Their support people are acting like assholes determined to piss you off and make it not worth bothering to regain access.

Except if they were really scamming they would have ran away by now. As I said, I'm not defending them, they are extremely unprofessional and a horrible service in general but personally I got verified after a month, I withdrew everything and here I am. You can get verified as well, it just takes time.

They are not only unprofessional.... We can't call "horrible service" actions that killed bittrex reputation. Because this is what they did.... they distroyed their reputation. They where one of the main exchange on the market. How could anyone trust them again after this shit!?

For a comparison we can look on how poloniex treated this kyc requirement... First of all they declared that there will be an annuncement of a deadline for kyc, and even after the deadline customers will be able to withdrawal their funds without verification. This if fair and professional.

It is clear that poloniex don't want to steal customers funds.... What about bittrex?


I understand your point. I'm not defending them whatsoever, they are garbage. I'm just saying that they can't be called scam as we usually know the word scam. They are, in some way, scamming but with a more sophisticated way. Nonetheless I don't think they are spending the money that's stuck in there because disabled/unverified accounts can become verified/enabled again.

Bittrex support asked me for submitting US passport and bill utility for an enhance verification. I would add my account is DISABLED for TWO months now!  they closed my tickets and kept the only one. I submitted the document but 24 hours and nothing. I know some people saying they are a scam and don't send your ID but what would you do if you have your coins stuck there!! try whatever possible way. I have submitted all the documents including the passport before. DOn't get it !!

like Warren Buffett said this is not going to end well.. :\

I'm sure Eins team did not pick a random company to partner with. According to ATW's core activity, EMC2 could be used for transactions via cell phone and/or something similar. If you take your time to look what they're about, I'm sure you'd be able to find more than one reason for this partnership?
Now, if you're regretting it's not AT&T, Sprint or Verizon, I'll admit that would've sounded better. But would it be better for project development? I firmly believe it would suffocate the coin.

So, don't diminish the importance of this partnership. It'll bring new options for EMC2 and over time, easily might become something big. Have a little faith.

still looking at this ~ i'll share my findings ..imma try to DD a bit on this company~will let you know what i find Wink eZ^$$$
506  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] Gems Protocol - Decentralized Mechanical Turk on: January 15, 2018, 08:14:47 AM

WEBSITE - BLOG - TELEGRAM - TWITTER - FAQ - WHITEPAPER

GEMS PROTOCOL
Decentralized Mechanical Turk

                                      

INTRODUCTION
Gems is a protocol for contracting workers to perform micro tasks. Workers stake tokens in order to prove validity of their tasks and earn a reusable computed trust score, enhancing the cost-efficiency of the network while democratizing access to scalable micro task workers.

Micro tasks are small tasks that require human judgment, can be completed independently over the internet, and are part of a larger unified project. Micro tasks aid organizations that need humans to complete tasks computers otherwise cannot. Micro tasks are used in a wide range of large scale distributions, whether by machine learning researchers to gather structured labeled data for training purposes, or by large companies, such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, Ebay, and Linkedin, to refine their production ready solutions and provide further model training. Billions of micro tasks are completed each year. The Chinese government alone uses 2 million micro task workers to aid in censoring the internet.

Unfortunately, the current centralized marketplaces are wrought with problems. Amazon charges requesters a minimum 20% fee on any amount paid out to workers and an additional 5% for requesting workers that have a good track record. Furthermore, tasks with 10 or more assignments are charged an additional 20% fee, totaling upwards of 40% in total fees. With over half of MTurkers reportedly earning less than $5 an hour, MTurk has been describe as the sweatshop of online crowdsourced labor. To use Crowdflower, on the mos basic plan requesters must pay a $3000 USD onboarding fee and $1500/month continuation
fee with an annual contract. This does not include payment to workers, which is paid separately. Furthermore, there is an additional 15% fee on any payments given to workers. Additionally, manually verifying the accuracy of results from workers is difficult. To ensure quality results, requesters currently rely on redundancy, oftentimes having 5-15 workers perform the same task to form a consensus. This is undoubtedly wasteful. Requesters pay 5-15x as much per project, and workers lose out on a potential increase in payment. Non-managed platforms do not supply interfaces needed to accomplish specific tasks. Currently,
requesters will either build their own tools or pay large fees to startups looking to tackle the enterprise market, wasting millions of dollars. Micro task workers also have issues with the system. The entirety of the labor pool does not have access to current micro task marketplaces. A staggering 38% of the world’s population does not have a bank account, hurting their ability to work in and contribute in current 4 systems.

Lastly, the signup and approval process for workers is nebulous and privacy invasive, leaving many wondering if they will even be able to contribute to this marketplace. The unofficial subreddit for workers on MTurk is riddled with users asking when they will be approved and many others offering condolences saying it may take months if ever.

The solution is Gems. In this paper we introduce Gems, a decentralized, open-sourced, human task crowdsourcing protocol built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. Using the Gems Protocol, anyone can tap into the power of scalable micro task workers without needing to worry about task verification, trust, or payments. Gems is designed to disincentivize malicious actors and reward fair players. The Gems Protocol is comprised of a staking mechanism to ensure task completion, a trust mechanism to track worker integrity, and a payment system to reduce transaction fees. The GEM token, a multi-utility token, fuels the Gems Protocol. Gems uses its token mechanism to enforce the behavior of all participants, instead of being regulated by a single operator. We further introduce the first application using the Gems Protocol, aptly named the Gems Platform. The Gems Platform connects those who want work done (henceforth known as “requesters”) and human workers (henceforth known as “miners”). By using the Gems Protocol, the Gems Platform removes socioeconomic barriers that exist in centralized alternatives (e.g. large fees, market inefficiencies, need for bank accountants, etc.). Anyone can build on top of the Gems Platform, creating “modules” that are interfaces for particular human tasks. The first module the Gems team will build focuses on labeling data for AI. In this paper, we describe the Gems Protocol, the GEM token mechanism, the current problem with existing platforms, the Gems Platform, and the reasons we initially focus on AI tasks. The Gems Protocol, Gems Platforms, and modules built on top of it are collectively known as the Gems Network.

In summary, the Gems Network addresses the following:
1. Removing the middleman taking a large fee
2. Verifying accuracy of results from crowdsourced tasks
3. Supplying and building reusable interfaces
4. Removing the need for existing banking infrastructure
5. Properly incentivizing and disincentivizing miners and requesters

YET ANOTHER ICO SCAM THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ACTUAL GEMSTONES? :\ GO PLAY IN TRAFFIC KIDS.

So let me see if I understand this coin.

OP says dev is not related to xpy. Hmm, maybe not dev but surely someone behind this coin must be.
Why would you offer to exchange 8 xpy for 1 ion?

Why didn't all the xpy you receive not get burnt?

Why did lots of xpy get dumped on the exchange immediately after your offer was taken up?

Why are people who were left holding paycoin stupid enough to exchange it for ION anyway. Do they really think ION is going to be 20 cents. Maybe you should say you are going to have a 20 cent floor?

This is the most obvious scam coin out there. Avoid

Step by step. And, undoubtedly, this is a step in a right direction. All the signs show future appreciation in the value. Important is we're moving.

if this generates millions and millions in revenue >_>who get's it... the devs? :-D lol
All the EMC2 holders. Those are basics.  o_O

If devs have some Einsteinium, then they as well. But there's no revenue as such, on Einsteinium side. Only coin price surging hopefully.  Wink

companies in the real world wanna see real revenues or investors find somewhere else to stack their chips~ looks good for ATW question remains what does emc2 gain by befriending this Canadian outfit? :\ former gold mining company go figure!!  Grin hmmm

The mission of Einsteinium is to promote philanthropy, and to fund scientific research on digital money projects is a good coin, and it will certainly attract a lot of support.
