1  Economy / Economics / Re: Obama's Former Chief Economist Calls For An End To US Dollar Reserve Status on: September 09, 2014, 05:16:20 AM
This is why BRICS is such a threat to the USA. All of those USD for sell back to America will create crazy inflation and we will be in big trouble.

These are crazy times we are living in. Isn't the sell back to America eventually inevitable?  This is the a very important question.  Is China strategically preparing to Dump US Treasury Bonds?

BRICS has created their own World Bank called the New Development Bank (NDB) and is headquartered in Shanghai, China. It is scheduled to start lending in 2016. 

BRICS represents over 25 percent of the world’s land, about 40 percent of the world’s population and about 17 percent of the world economy  as well as 50 percent of the world’s growth in GDP over the past 10 years. BRICS combined 2014 GDP ($10,971.6 trillion) is nearly that of the US ($14,657.8 trillion) and the EU ($16,282.2 trillion) and is expected to surpass the combined US and EU GDP by 2020. Shocked

Obama's Former Chief Economist Calls For An End To US Dollar Reserve Status
Article: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-08/obamas-former-chief-economist-calls-end-us-dollar-reserve-status


Question:
In order for the US Dollar to lose its reserve status then it would need to be replaced by some other world reserve currency right?  If this is true then what will be the new world reserve currency and who will control it?  Or could Bitcoin or something like it become the new Reserve Currency?

Please reply to this if you believe we will rise to the top.
This coin could...but its a little too quiet here.
There are 1 million coins that IIUC were created in a short POW phase. A couple of days ago almost 200,000 keycoins traded on Trex, in one day. There are automated bots continually pushing the price down. And they have plenty of ammo it seems.

In other words even though this coin has potential there are not enough buyers yet to soak up all the coins coming from people who got them in the POW stage. So these bots and trading programs will keep pressuring the price down until more buyers appear.

So I think this coin has a good chance but ATM there are too many coins in loose hands to see the price rise. Too many coins in the hands of people who don't care about keycoin.

How widely were the POW coins distributed?

It seems quiet but what you're really seeing is patience. Many investors are watching and waiting.  People do care and want Keycoin to succeed! It still has more potential than most alts out there.

to the keycoin devs: Amazing! Just used the trader app and was blown away. Great job!

Same here. Used it last night. Hope the market catches on. Very neat tool.

Honestly I personally wouldn't have much use for an anon OS with a wallet built in, I don't care much about being so secretive. But the Keytrader app is very, very cool. I hadn't seen or tried it until this release and I've been using it instead of trex UI all day. Really helpful for saving me time spreading out orders, and finally having a "cancel all" button made me precum a little.

This could have been released as part of a standalone tool for a lot more profit. What else is in the works?   Grin

A secure standalone trading tool is good. And a press release would help the market catch on too.  But I guess this comes after more beta testing?

It seems the question of the moment is "to charge", or "not to charge" for the custom apps.  Both sides have valid arguments, but here is a third option.  Do both.

Release the full version (after bugs have been squashed) and charge for it - pricing structure TBD.  There will definitely be demand for the apps.  Maybe do some giveaways to increase publicity.

After an amount of time (again, TBD), make the apps free to anyone.  This would be another boon to the community and good publicity.

This is how money is made!

One ultimate Marketing Strategy for Keycoin.  Grin

To sell KeyOS in every store around world on the rack where gift cards are sold.  Now everyone can shop with, trade & own Crypto Currency!   Plug and Play Baby.Cheesy  Even a child can do it.  

Once the account is activated by plugging in, a portion of the 25 dollars is converted to KEYS based on the current market prices.  The end user can start trading Keys immediately without purchasing Bitcoin but can still immediately buy Bitcoins with their KEYs.

Adding more limitations is the last thing they want to be doing IMO.. they should be adding features, not adding restrictions and extra fees. KeyOS and its tools could be a good PR tool for keycoin, not a way to force investment and make money off its users..


I agree not to limit PR opportunities.  All the biggest DOT COM companies are all based online subscriptions that started as free service.  Many Anti-Virus software companies became huge by offering a free anti virus but now these companies make huge profits on premium paid unlocked features.

Nice!  So I could send BTC or other crypto onto my Keycoin Stick and securely keep it safe offline?  A bank on a stick! Grin    Who doesn't want this?

I can choose to encrypt the whole stick when not in use. I could then use my Authy App code to decrypt the stick quickly.


Edit: Is it just me or this simply amazing?   Lock or Unlock all your Crypto with your KEY Cheesy

"A Bank on a stick" sounds great, but Ive one question, how do you decide if you are going to trust all your wallets and keys/coins to a third party patched OS?

Well Your right.  Security is Key. 

These are great opportunities to revolutionize the industry. 

I do have a few idea's of my own and I am sure others do too.  These problems can be solved.

Well I gotta say im glad there is finally a moderated thread.  I had left the thread for a week because the FUD was mostly nonsensical BS.  Everyone fighting over who the lead team, that prom was involved, and koolio and whoever else.  If any of those guys were to go to XC or DRK and start buying it up would ppl start claiming they were scams too?  Get over yourselves, they arent god and shouldnt be held up as such.  Theyre investors and they are trying to build a coin.  If you dont like it or because your beloved Crypt is a POS then dont buy it.  No need to try to destroy other peoples hope of building and investing in a very decent coin.  

I am actually excited about a KeyOS release as really I haven't seen another coin implement anonymous OS usage with a wallet.  Hopefully Ill be able to add other wallets to the bootable USB stick so I can keep a few of my coins encrypted and ready to run outside of windows.  It will be tor implemented so you can surf the net anonymously for the most part.  I think the biggest thing is that it will be unique thus far since no one has it.  And if anyone knows about Linux, this is not something that is not that easy to implement.  Linux can be very frustrating at times, especially with new innovations.  Hopefully dev team can figure it out soon as it will be a very cool release.  Cant wait for more future updates without all the bullshit to block it out.  It ruins the spirit of crypto...to innovate!

so basically the first tor (anon) based OS for crypto trading and safe storage on a stick.

Shocked

awesome

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin - v1.7 Available on: August 13, 2014, 12:43:43 PM
Yes , but that has been already taken into account by the markets.People always talk about the 21mils bitcoin not about the current mined ones.

But miners sell coins each day nonetheless, 3600 new Bitcoins are mined each day, that's a lot of selling pressure, so we can't really say the markets have already taken 21 million into account. The market is in sort of equilibrium now, bouncing in the 550-650 range, but it's going to take a lot more capital injections to move it higher.

As for Doge - there are reasons to believe it has finally hit its rock bottom and the downside is limited (20 satoshi might be the lowest low), it only takes very few bitcoins to support daily production of doges and that number will be going down quickly, to a negligible amount.

Anyone that can give me a brief explanation about what happened to doge?

Some months ago 9 out of 10 threads in this forum were about doge... Has it completed the pump and dump cycle or is it something else...
It's a shame if it is dead because although i 'm not into alt coins the community of this one was standing above the rest...

It's not dead, developers are quite active building some infrastructure around it. Doge quickened the inflation period and naturally hit the bottom of price correction faster than other coins (Litecoin closely following).

All cryptos are pump-n-dumps and some go thru pump-n-dumps a few times in their lifetime. What matters is which of them rise after dumps and which go to oblivion.

+1

LOL... Dogecoin is hardly dead.  It still has the most active & diversified altcoin communities.  People on Bitcointalk don't seem to get. Probably because they are too serious about numbers, charts and making money.  Wink

I support both Bitcoin & Dogecoin because they both have important rolls to play inside & out the Crypto-community world.

Hi,how many team members are there now? I remember it was 20,but it seems less now.

Currently I believe the Keycoin Team consists of approximately 11 people give or take.  But there are 4 full time members.


KeyCoin Team

There are 4 full time members on this project, with the backing of some very large investors. For now, we want to keep our identities confidential. We will consider naming ourselves in the future.

We are:
Member 1 - Full time C++ programmer, skilled with QT and cryptocurrency development.

Member 2 - Python, Ruby, and PHP programmer, with a focus on web application development and API integrations.

Member 3 - Well rounded, full time graphic designer specializing in usability and interface development.

Member 4 - Community relations and PR manager, will be maintaining our website, twitter, other social media, and press releases.

We have several technologies currently in the development phase that will bring meaning and understanding to both the name “KEY” and “Security is KEY.” To separate ourselves from current hype based white paper style coin releases, we will not be announcing all of these features at launch. Instead we will be releasing them and implementing the technologies in a controlled fashion over time to ensure continuous healthy movement in the coin, and a rewarding, unique trading experience for those that choose to invest. Our goal is to create something worthy of being added to larger exchanges, eventually reaching the point of larger scale adoption, we have the devs and the financial backing to accomplish this goal.

The sub-reddit Dogecoin members are some of the most decentralized group I've ever seen.  They come from all walks of life, ages, and backgrounds.  

So you would admit there are gay reddit fucks?

You should never feel bad/sad selling into the market.

Yay for decentralized Wink

The sub-reddit Dogecoin members are some of the most decentralized group I've ever seen.  They come from all walks of life, ages, and backgrounds.  They flock in from different social networks from all over the place to show support and share progress, but mostly to have fun.  Grin

BitcoinTalk.org is an awesome message board for Bitcoin but mainly reaches serious techs, devs, miners, investors & FUDsters.

Looks Sweet!  Grin

Key Trader v1.3 is now completed. This is our release for public use.




The windows version is complete, we will have Linux and Mac versions coming soon.

It allows you to easily place spread buy and sell orders, by different technique parameters.

Download it here: https://mega.co.nz/#!etA1AAKZ!UNjdMJT2dhLYulsdritXRWNqbWKk9ULGIWdIOEhZkG0

Here is a tutorial video created by KeyTrader's programmer. It's a bit rough so we'll have the programmer give us the text in plain or make a video with voice narration. The program is pretty self-explanatory without the tutorial.

All the FUD and spam was incredibly distracting indeed.  Now the focus can be on making things better rather than trying to recover from both lost time and money invested.

I do have a few ideas to make things better, but will post when I have thought it out more and also after seeing the OS and trading tools.

For now, a few suggestions:
1.  Update link on website to point to this thread instead of the old one
2.  Include Dan Metcalf's review of the dev team and anon code somewhere on the website
3.  Also include the news article/interview

I think at this point, anything that can rebuild and gain trust in keycoin would be helpful. Obviously, releasing the OS will help that alot, but the small things count too.

+1

I agree that website updates are important.  People go there frequently looking for news updates.  Important message board updates & new press releases could easily be added.

Adding a tweeter feed would also be beneficial. Especially on the home page.  Smiley

How do you secure the network if you cap the coin?  How many new successful coins are capped these days?  Huh

In the short run Bitcoin & Litecoin has a higher supply inflation rate that Doge.
             Dogecoin  Bitcoin    Litecoin
  2015   5.26%     10%       33.33%
  2016   5%          9.09%    12.5%
  2017   4.76%     4.1%      11.11%
  2018   4.54%     4%         10%
  2019   4.35%     3.85%    9.09%
  2020   4.2%        3.7%      4.1%



Bitcoin = capped - This will take many many years.
LTC = capped  - This will take many many years.
DOGE = dead

Network will be just fine with capping and merging.... also your coins will be special. Right now your coins are just a diluted piece of dogeshit.

The inflationary supply of Dogecoin is what makes Dogecoin special. 

Bitcoin might be good for savings and buying things like cars and houses.  But Dogecoin is good for purchasing everyday things. 

Most people do not like dealing with decimals when spending money. This is fact.

Bitcoin is like Gold.  Dogecoin is like $


One of Bitcoin's biggest problem is being solved with Dogecoin.

Can Bitcoin survive on transactions fees alone?  Will these transaction fees be controlled by a few mass mining operations.  Like banks of today? This seems very centralized to me.

I've been a Bitcoin supporter for many years. But we aren't limited to one currency.  Many Crypto-currenies will have purposes that will offer different uses in the future.

Dogecoin has done a good Job reaching the masses. This is key.  This means the coin is not going away anytime soon. 

18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin - v1.7 Available on: August 13, 2014, 12:05:53 AM
I'm holding DOGE since months and they lost almost all their value, I'm sorry but I think I have to sell my millions (worth nothing...).

I could be WAY wrong but I feel part of the reason Dogecoin price is down is due to coin HOLDERS such as yourself. Imagine if ALL Dogecoin was being held...the price would PLUMMET. Instead of spending (NOT SELLING) Dogecoin on physical goods or services, people just hold their coins and watch the price drop. If Dogecoin was being USED more (and not just exchange sell/trade offs either) then there would be a LOT more life in Dogecoin.
There are DOZENS of online stores/services that take Dogecoin for payment.

If YOU (ANYONE HOLDING DOGECOIN) do not spend your Dogecoin, (even just a little) YOU are helping to bring the price down.

Why should the value go up right now? Most Dogecoin fanboys/girls just want to HOLD their Dogecoin in hopes of HITTING it big time. Jeesh
People HOLD or CASH out. What good does that do for the Dogecoin community? NOTHING. Gotta CIRCULATE the currency for ANY value to be seen by others.


SPEND THAT DOGECOIN.

ps-I agree about needing to cap the coin but WE as miners/buyers of Dogecoin can only suggest/recommend that option to the Devs

Saving some of your Dogecoin is obviously good too. It will helps people buy bigger things in the future. But only if prices are somewhat stable.  

Yes it's good to spend Doge but it depends where & how it's spent.  

The answer is spending Dogecoin on everyday purchases that we do on a regular bases. Then we would  need to buy new Dogecoin Frequently which would increase the demand.  But its very important on how fast we can purchase Dogecoin.  The faster we can convert fiat to Doge the better. This would allow people to buy Dogecoin and use it immediately for things we normal spend fiat on without loosing money from price volatility.

Here is one way this is achieved:
If store owners & services offered better pricing for their goods and services would help tremendous.  Discounts for using Doge!

The problem remains:

Not enough people are buying Dogecoin.  This is Obviously.

Currently here is what frequently happens:

When an online store accepts Dogecoin for a purchase they generally immediately dump Doge daily for BTC.  Then BTC is dumped for Fiat.    This effect is also magnified when raising large amounts to charity.  Don't get me wrong. I Love supporting Charities but you can't deny the fact that after a major fund raiser like Jamaican Bobsled or NASCAR that most all the those coins get converted back to USD. Those are huge dumps!  Multiple that with mulit-pool miners that only want immediate profit.  Those are huge daily dumps. Dump after Dump.  

But the community has done an amazing Job keeping Dogecoin's value this high.   I believe it will go back up over time.  But many people are in Crypto-currency for short term profits like most businesses.  The community using it as a tipping currency has been beneficial since it stays within the eccomony.  I know there are a few Dogecoin businesses that love Doge and keep some their coins to use for savings, tipping, and charities.  But eventually many coins are dumped for Fiat.   This has been a problem for Bitcoin as well.

Think about what was the a main contributing factor that caused the 2013  Crash of Bitcoin?  2 words. BLACK FRIDAY.  Biggest shopping day of the year.  Look at the charts.

A big step is when we see more manufacturing and commodity type businesses like farmers who will accept crypto-currencies.  But their vendors will also need to accept these Crypto in order to keep it in the eccomony.

Keeping the Dogecoin in the eccomony is very important. How we do that is the question everyone should be asking themselves.  One important way is that we Dump Fiat for Dogecoin not the other way around.  


Doge will go back up when the community figures out what they need to do.

These were only a few tips.  Cheesy

Problem is: If there is no plausible explanation for the Dev-Post in the Cryptcoin-Thread, no serious new Investor will buy Keycoin. Its simply a to high risk, because anytime they could push the Sell-Button. And again: I don`t say that as a Fudder. I say that as an Investor. I sold today at a loss, because I know how serious Investors think. They don`t want to play russian-roulette. They want to see longterm-plans and a honest Dev-Team. I thought to see that. Maybe there will be an plausible explanation, but if not... this Coin has no Chance.

Keycoin team consists of:

one person who made the original coin

one person who made the website

one person who added on the anon system

one person who works on the videos and 3d models

one person who is working on the encrypted messaging

one person who is working on the keyos distro

one person who is working on ordering and burning keyos onto custom usb drives

one person who handles PR releases and writing

one person who is programming trading tools for keyos

one person who manages the twitter

one person who creates graphics


We share the credentials to the account when needed. The post was made in error by one of the team members.


There you have it.  Honesty! Which shows Integrity.

I always assumed Keycoin was a shared account for the Dev team. Probably only a couple people use it to represent the entire team.  This is obviously common sense.  Whats the big deal?  Except to be more careful next time.
