I will second that. What I believe CON needs is more ways to use it. Staking is nice but if there where more ways to use CON then that would create buy pressure. Of course getting the word out and bringing more people into CON will also create buy pressure and help the value.
I would like to see a HI-LO game like the one on primedice.com/play. As I do not have the skills to create it, if anyone here does and is interested in making it let me know.

If anyone else has some ideas as to what added uses CON could have please let the community know.

Presstab explorer is working again. Anyway, I wondering why is so low price, volume and interest. PayCon has a really unique wallet, secured blockchain, and the PoS doesn't affect huge inflation. Total coin supply is quite low too. We should find out how could we growing, because it's only a technical experiment in a lab now. Paycon deserves much more than that I think.

In Wallet difficulty graph would add the final touch/icing on the cake and I running the Wallet 24 hours a day. Its easy to look @the CON wallet.

Crestington, what do you think, could you add the feature?


Any time? I don't think so- Presstab CON block explorer is offline again

I found there have 337539981.48048947 COL at coins-e.com for me.
How can I got it back?

thanks LOL

I HAVE TO COME CLEAN

i stole my avatar LOL

i never made it but i have been modding it over time.. with Fireworks
i am surprised the guy who made it never showed his face.

then again i am not hhahah

the avatar was put on Ubuntu's forum main page when it got hacked / defaced way back.
which is where i got it from in the first place.

no..
i never hacked the forum i just like making people think i did muahahhah

EDIT:
His name was Sputn1k (different spelling than mine)
And i can show i made my user name all over before that guy did..
I had my Steam account many years before using that name for example.

That guy probably thinks i am fishing to get him to show himself LOL

Yeah i was hoping you notice that.. your effort was put to use
Thanks for the offer too.

Do you do videos ?
I always have multiple projects on the go and one them is nobody has made custom animated boot screens
for my Android phone so i started figuring out how it has to be done.
Why is because i have a Moto E 2nd Gen. 2015 edition
Which has a different way of loading animated boot screens.
Gen. 1 loads a series of jpeg's as an animation.
Gen. 2 uses mp4's.
So i have the file location and root and i dumped the encoder param's used on the stock video
and i am creating a profile for Avidemux to mimic encode settings.
I tried one video.. a clip i made of the TV show Metalocalypse but it was too high res and didn't show up on the phone.

People may think all i do is sit here at Bitcointalk running my mouth..
But i have my fingers in a few pies

You are forgiven my son ..Pope Spoetnik forgives !

Oh and am i trippin' balls or do you have a Bear Spray Coin avatar ?
Didi you make that one like the graphics you made me way back ?

That guy earlier is right, i was hoping some juicy drama would have unfolded but nope

For saving the Princess you are forgiven my son 

Don't be shy guys i know some of you have some dirty secrets.
I am waiting for some huge account farmers to come clean LOL

I'm also amazed how far this coin has progressed and running the PayCON wallet 24/7!!

How do you feel has this con any future or is it on a slow descent? I was a bit shocked to see it was in a de-list list on c-cex I got on an email.. Luckily it was not de-listed, but I mean what if.. Do you plan on continuing with this coin or do you have some secret project in mind, you know with a 20$ floor or so? And there is not much Paycon related movement on gethashing forums lately also.. I am still staking, but was having some thoughts whether it maybe has served its purpose already..

Well that is good, we finally have someone who states they will never invest in anything I create. And then if what I create is spreading like wildfire to millions of users then you will simply step aside from crypto as Bitcoin dies, because YOUR EGO is bigger than YOUR RATIONALITY.

What I have to prove now is prove to myself that my illness and my age has not removed my ability to do important work, i.e. that I have not become useless.

I am not striving for your validation (as in a personal one of comparing myself personally to you or any other person for validation of my ego). I recognize the talents of others and have commended them on their capabilities when they shine such as smooth, gmaxell, vitalik, etc.. I have also expressed my disgust with individuals who abuse their skills to ridicule others (such as gmaxwel ridiculing me in some forum interactions) who are sincerely trying to contribute and always willing to mea culpa. What I am saying is that OTHERS DO THEIR DAMNED BEST TO TURN WHAT SHOULD BE A MERITORIOUS COMPETITION FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ALL INSTEAD INTO PETTY EGO BATTLES. And when I state that, then those same people (e.g. including apparently yourself) then claim it is my ego that is the source of the acrimony. It is just so nonsensical that I am reaching the point where I think the best course of action is to ignore these B-listers and just focus on what I am trying to accomplish.

The other thing I am trying to prove right now is the myopia of all those who think that the only correct way to create a better crypto-currency is the Monero way, and basically that you must join together in open source, "steal" ("improve" or "open source") someone else's invention (and claim perhaps rightly so that the inventors abused their invention), and then use groupthink to make all the creative decisions.

So many people have criticized me for refusing to join a groupthink at the nascent stage, and do not seem to understand that I want the flexibility to apply my own creativity until I have proved something that is worthy of open source collaboration.

I competed in team sports and individual sports in my youth. At various stages of my life I was an MVP in both American football (one with the helmet in playground leagues and again in college) and Track & Field (at middle distance in high school). Later in life I competed in software, several times being involved with software that reached out to millions of users. What I learned is that there is a role for individual competition (e.g. in Track and Software you are often going alone and competing against yourself) meshed with team based competition (e.g. in Football and even in Software if you create a successful open source effort).

So I have experience in discerning where the optimum sweet spots are in terms of the balances between individualistic and team based efforts. The Mythical Man Month applies especially to highly flexibility, iteractive, creative nascent stages that require an abundance of communication to accomplish within a group effect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month

"Therefore, assigning more programmers to a project running behind schedule will make it even later. This is because the time required for the new programmers to learn about the project and the increased communication overhead will consume an ever increasing quantity of the calendar time available. When n people have to communicate among themselves, as n increases, their output decreases and when it becomes negative the project is delayed further with every person added.

Group intercommunication formula: n(n − 1) / 2

Example: 50 developers give 50 · (50 – 1) / 2 = 1225 channels of communication."

You have failure of logic and rationality as follows. Which can severely impact your ability to be an expert speculator.


Personal social interaction is not marketing genius or luck which drives a million user adoption. Personal social interaction scales far too slowly. Duh. I couldn't even personally interact with a million people in my lifetime.

So my personality has nothing at all to do with it. This is I presume your butthurt ego standing in front of the line of your rationality telling you that I can't possibly succeed. If you say to yourself, "there he goes again using 'butthurt' and offending the community", my response is that I am tired of this forum and the attacks. Enough already! And besides this forum does not matter to the success of my project as you will soon see once you see my marketing and distribution method.

And also your assumption that I don't excel in social interactions is incorrect and based on some nonsense forum with 99.999% males who are constantly trying to prove their big egos. I have in fact entertained large groups at Comdex exhibits.

When it comes to interacting with other programmers in an open source setting, the key is to be factual and meritorious. That is what the A-listers want, because A-listers care about results, not time wasting egos. The B-listers of course are all elbows and acrimony and that is why you want them to go "contribute" to your competitor's open source in order to bog their project down in molasses and least common denominator groupthink. That means every eyeball is helpful and welcome, but even Linus Torvalds said he has about 5 people who he trusts and everyone else is an idiot. He is very outspoken this way, yet runs the largest and most successful open source project on the planet.


1. Time is ticking.

2. I never ran off a team, I chose not to grab the opportunity to collaborate with others who offered, because flexibility is more important in the nascent stage. And because I didn't want to suck others into my grand experiment and make them suffer for any failure on my part. A team makes much more sense when they can contribute on their own volition to something that already has a demonstrated position. To organize a team when everything is a projection, requires a partnership in risk and binds people in ways that means I really can't lead 100% without taking responsibility for the effects of my decisions on others who have staked their future on their investment (contribution of effort and time).

3. I am solo right now, because it made the most sense after all considerations. But of course no one who is serious about long-term viability is going to remain solo on an open source crypto-currency any longer than it is beneficial to do so, which is a very short nascent stage when flexibility of leadership is a higher priority than the shared resources of open source.

Note that if I had an ongoing software engineering relationship experience with another or others, then it is possible I would have made the decision to leverage teamwork during the nascent stage, because I would have had confidence from past experience with those individuals that we possessed the working synergy to make it work at the stage where the ideas around the designs and the issues are changing so fast. Even just working in the same building so able to talk at-will instead of working virtually could have impacted that decision. But given the situation I have and the time criticality of releasing something asap, the decision was made that the quickest result would be to not involve any others in the programming and engineering. I have involved the community in the naming and marketing conceptualization in this thread.

Another failure of logic is to assume that a team of 3 guys could scale a crypto-currency any better than a solo developer. Unless you can get the project to the point where many, many people are contributing, then 3 programmers can't scale it by themselves. That is why it is irrational to conclude that a project with 2 devs is somehow more likely to succeed than a project with 1 dev. A project with 3 devs might be more likely to fail, because more opportunities for the 3 devs to cheat each other and cause a devolution of the project. The only thing that brings stability is long-term popularity of the project.

All right Sir!

What do you think about Philosopherstone "Weight Chart" Feature?  https://github.com/philosopherstonecoin/philosopherstone/releases ?

 In Wallet Weight Chart

And maybe add another Feature:

That is pretty much what I thought. Since it is a proof of concept and
turned out not entirely successful, it could still attract devs precisely for the
challenge of going after bigger game. Lessons learned and so on.

But if an attempt to target a very prominent alt right from the outset
should fail, it could dissuade anyone to proceed with the development.
The perception could be that spinoffs are a dead idea.

Foolish statements made by blind fools are good for motivation and feedback (as well as providing a record of those who will "eat crow" soon).

The joke (and priorities suggestion) portion of your post was interpreted humorously (including the n00b, naive, humorous notion of de-prioritizing branding & marketing), but the quoted portion is not a factual statement (which you could have verified by simply checking my latest posts by clicking my profile before posting your comments).
