I think maybe someone (obviously, not an evil person) should get in touch with Darkoperator and inform him of this apparent attempt at identity theft.

That's going to look really good in court, Frictionless.  U r a genius......

Could u explain your use of we ?

Have u split into 2 people again, Carlos?

@buybitcoinscanada.
Good analysis, nice to focus on the tech aspects of FCs work for a while.

I floated the idea of a carbon offset program, possibly using forging revenue from unclaimed coins, a couple of days ago:
Have a look at:
https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,3418.0.html

I really need to figure first out the total energy consumption of the NXT network, help (with numbers) would be useful.

Don't go totally negative...people are gonna be shifting in their seats by around the 3rd negative anti-Bitcoin point.
Emphasise NXT's strengths, not Bitcoins weaknesses.
Make sure that the concept of NXT as an ecosystem, not purely a currency, comes thru strong.

I made the mistake of choosing a Russian girl as my drinking companion once.....that did not end well for EvilDave.

Yay, Vircurex ! x10!
Did Cryptsy have a date for NXT?

Don't know if i'm the best, but I am available....be about 12-24 hours depending on how Outside life goes.

My position is: let the trolls come and post, self-moderating opens u up to all kinds of accusations and makes the whole thread less trustworthy and open. If we can't handle a bit of criticism, then we don't really have what it takes.

@ UF: I can have another, more in depth check and edit of the front page tomorrow (Sunday) if u like. Just say the word.

I'm bored, where's the FCs at?

A customer enters a pet shop.

Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.

(The owner does not respond.)

C: 'Ello, Miss?

Owner: What do you mean "miss"?

C: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!

O: We're closin' for lunch.

C: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this thread what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.

O: Oh yes, the, uh, the nex investment...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?

C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!

O: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.

C: Look, matey, I know a dead thread when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

O: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable thread, the nex investment, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!

C: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.

O: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!

C: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!

(shouting at the cage)

'Ello, Mister thread! I've got a lovely fresh posting for you if you show...(owner hits the cage)

O: There, he moved!

C: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!

O: I never!!

C: Yes, you did!

O: I never, never did anything...

C: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!!

Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!

(Takes thread out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)

C: Now that's what I call a dead thread.

O: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!

C: STUNNED?!?

O: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Nex investments stun easily, major.

C: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That thread is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.

O: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.

C: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?

O: The nex investment prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable thread, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!

C: Look, I took the liberty of examining that thread when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.

(pause)

O: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that thread down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

C: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this thread wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!

O: No no! 'E's pining!

C: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This thread is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!

'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!

THIS IS AN EX-THREAD!!

Hey, NXT peoples ( and actors)

Just read the last 30 pages, lots happening in the world of our favourite crypto-currency.

Firstly, my personal news:
Spent much of my crypto time in the last few days off on other threads, fighting valiantly with the multi-headed FrictionlessCoin beast, who seems to have finally STFU'd. Nice and quiet for a change on his threads, especially the self-modded one ...3 pages.  

Having just said that: I'm currently under threat of legal action by the FCs, so I'm behaving myself a bit, until I've had time to lawyer up and get some advice (Monday) about my position vs the FCs. I don't expect that he/she/it/they will actually pull the trigger on a legal action, but if it comes to it, I would like to take the opportunity to turn the trial into a fun-filled media event and opportunity for NXT promotion and laughing at the FCs.
Anyone wanna come to Maryland ?
(If u have no idea wtf I am on about, check the recent posts in my profile)


Other things:

Yay, Cryptsy!. Thats good news, to say the least.

Salsacz: its a frame-up. Any idiot can see that. Investigate further....

Cryptmarketcap...voted! Looks like we are winning by a long way...

Miami:...good job so far, guys.


That is a good idea. Maybe get a NXT custom case made up for RaspPi/Cubie, preload it with 500 NXT and all software.
It would be a superb high-end promo item.

Passwords/hacking/security:
This seems like a very good idea, now that I've had it very slowly explained to me. Any dev feedback on it or on increasing password hash strength? Or another way to protect the people (ie almost everyone) who choose weak passwords?


Thats my input, just like to say thanks for the great work from everyone over the last few days.

Onwards and upwards.....and upgrade to 5.10, please.

Convicted ? R u actually sure about that?
And if so, spill the details......popcorn ready.
But:  including his e-mail is a bit out of order, even for the FCs.
 Fight him on the forums....not out of sight.

Absolutely nothing to do with NXT, believe me.
See:

for more (not self-modded) Frictionless fun !
Come on over, u'll like it.

Care to explain why u think its a scam ?
The dev team have at least some proven track record here, working on the (currently) 5th largest (by total market cap   ) crypto-currency. I'm pretty sure NEM will at least fire up some code and throw out a Genesis block, which is lot more than I can say for some of the current IPO's.
(and because I am awaiting legal advice pending a prosecution for defamation from FrictionlessCoin The Corporation, I won't name any of these IPOs)

Bounty ANN: 10 NXT and a free trip to a Maryland courthouse for the first guy to post a comprehensive list of the FC's current projects !

EDIT...Move over to
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=424724.msg4738820#msg4738820

for more Frictionless fun, kids!

Fake posting, FC, please explain?
Has some trollish swine set me up?
Is that not your name all over FrictionlessCoin, FrictionlessCoin?


Edit: Or are u referring to me not being really, really enthusiastic about iXcoin ?
Performance speaks for itself: its stable. Good thing for some people, I would have kept them if they weren't connected, however tenuously,  to FC Industries^tm

That was a joke....at the time of writing my "get out of Newbietown" haiku Litecoin had managed to dive very deep, so i held and later got out of Litecoin with no noticeable loss, but I'm not very confident about it's future.
But I do still have a big pile of Devcoins, bought in for a whole $10 and i'm not holding my breath waiting for a profit.
Good thing about iXcoin was its relative stability, but that didn't leave much room for trading, and the FC connection poisoned it for me, once I realised the true extent of his activities.

If I manage to make a loss on Bitcoin or NameCoin, I'll let u know.

Edit: however, if u want a real cheap laugh at my expense: i bought 50 Craftcoin @ a dollar per. Still got 'em for some strange reason.

Yep,  seems to be, but FC is all over it, and the BTC addresses for donation seem to match.

Hardly a great sacrifice, considering the bloody things show no sign of price improvement.

Being honest here: I actually bought into iXcoin in the early days of my relationship with the FCs, back when he seemed to be one reasonable, intelligent if slightly annoying, person. So the FCs are somewhat responsible for my miniscule loss on iXcoin. Having seen a lot more of his business dealings over the last weeks, I just don't want to be near anything with his name all over it.

Any court case that FC brings against me (and others) will be made into a media circus, and there will probably be consequences for all FC-related projects.

Turns out that FC is even busier:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=423538.0

Didn't even notice that he'd launched FrictionlessCoin the currency.

Shall we make a list: NEX, FLC, iXcoin, ZenithCoin...any more?

How does FC find the time for all that dev work?

Going to sell my iXcoin right now, btw.

Well spotted, Jack!

The FCs are busy little bees.
So can we conclude here that there is a serious link with scharmbecky ?

I seem to recall that he is involved fairly deeply with W****Coin, and possibly others.
Nope, my bad, got confused with scharmbeck.

Still: FC supporter or sock puppet?  
I've never actually seen a serious FC supporter out here, thought he had a friend in solracx/Carlos, but that turned out not to be the case.  

Looks like the rabbit-hole goes deeper than I ever suspected.

We need to gather more evidence and spread the word to others who may be in the same position as us.....
