Price of the intermediate tokens will stop going up (the weekly 2%) until further notice. For now the price will remain 0.000634 btc per token

due to bitcoin price change, price per token updated to 0.000465

When will be the end of selling? Still 4 months?
I am feeling a little fooled. It didn't seem to me that the selling will be over several months and marketing campaigns...
and reducing the price is not fair for early buyers as well... greedy?
I mean, hello.. I was spending my bitcoins here, and if i kept them I would have get more?
Sorry, but its getting suspicious...

Nem is great coin/platform but like any other coin on market it goes for PnD like BTC,Gold,Oil..
To be honest REAL people didn't start using it so rise perspective over time is huge.
And user base is about 2000 so coin itself have huge rise potential, but today lets face it is pump.
Just getting +50%/day is not natural.

There are pumps with 2000% and more. Those will destroy the coin, because after, everyone sells and the people loose interest.
But with micropumps of 100% or so, it can really grow. Maybe its dropping a little after, but still its up.
So please don't overdo pumping.

Please don't overdo pump and dump on this coin please. Its worth more than that...
BTW for everyone, that wants to "set up" a light wallet, doesn't even have to.
Just download the pure html sources directly and immediatelly use it:

But make sure, you don't run suspicious software :-)

I have 3,450,000 IOTA coming to me from the crowdsale.  If you want to do a prebuy and lock in a price, DM me your best offer.  We can then work together to find a mutually agreeable escrow from the community. To keep things from being overly complicated, I am selling my IOTA in blocks of a minimum of 50k coins. Cheers!

Honestly. I am nearly puking if I read this. You participate in a crowdsale, just in order to sell it pre release for horrible prices, that you wont get later any more.
Guys, wait for the release.
Look at Ethereum. Look at NEM.
EVERY Coin will raise especially pre and at release and drop then seriously. Thats because of limited supply. Less people will do that pre release shit and less people can sell on release, because they are too stupid to be able to install the client at the beginning.
So wait for it and don't buy now! It'll come soon.

will this be a geocoin promotion thread?

If you want to buy the Top20 of all Altcoins with just one trade you should think about investing in Coinoindex: http://coinoindex.com/
Nix uptrend since some weeks.

I don't know. I would like to invest in something like an index, but how could I trust this one?
Poloniex just made a database entry and put it on the nxt asset exchange, where you can buy it, isn't that?
Where is the proof of the actual holdings?
1067  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in alternate cryptocurrencies? on: January 18, 2016, 01:47:29 PM
You can never be sure, which one will be pushed or dumped next.
If you don't know anything and don't want to research, but want to invest, buy either only BTC or maybe all TOP 30(?) altcoins like stock index does.
Some will plunge, some will grow, but the combination will grow.
That said you should research yourself. The people here will suggest you only coins, they want to dump on you ;-)

I personally sit mostly on BTC, ETH, Factom, NEM, NXT, IOTA, XCR, XMR, XLM. I also had a few DASH before I lost them on the cryptsy platform. Probably will buy some again...
1068  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / NEM lightwallet with pure HTML/JS on: January 15, 2016, 09:29:15 PM
Hey guys,
I was a little annoyed, because the "light" wallets need to run a server. So I made some adjustions on the lightweight (nginx) from the NEM page (http://nem.io/install.html) and removed the nginx.
Now you can run it just unzipping and doubleclicking the index.html without running any program but the browser.

This is the dropbox link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yaod2q3busdhxle/NEM_lightwallet_pure_html_0.1.zip?dl=0

have fun :-)
1069  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NEM Supernodes on: January 15, 2016, 06:29:42 PM
Sounds good, but why don't you let the delegateted harvesters pay a small %age of their income instead of NEM funds?
If someone want's to harvest without running a node he should at least get a little less in my opinion.
I think that would also force more Nodes...

"9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99" seed gives the same address, it's another proof of exclusive status of "9". Smiley

I also noticed that appending 9 at the end of a string generates the same address as the string itself.

isn't that kind of clear, if its considered as a zero/null value? if you prepend it, its not the same, but if you append it is
1071  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: IOTA on: December 23, 2015, 10:32:11 AM
it's interesting! What is the algo again that derives adress from secrect phrase, and how does it give '9' such funny properties?

https://github.com/JinnLabs/SaM/blob/master/src/SaM.java:

Quote
Note that the hash of the empty string is all zeros, this can be used in cases when the hash of NULL should be NULL.

"9" is treated as "all zeros"/NULL.

The java version of the algo seems to look more professional than the javascript one ;-)

Here is a monochromatic interface of the reference implementation:
...
Confirmation score is not shown to keep the interface as grandma-friendly as possible.

Hope you'll find a good designer to provide a good design. This a very important factor of marketing.
Sadly most people in the crypto community narrow their view in the nerd space and don't see it:
Only with a professional design the product can be treated as professional in general...

If we just append the first letter or two of many of the metric prefixes, we could have units like iota (1), diota (.1) daiota or daota (DOW-ta) for pronounciation(10), Kiota, Miota (100, 1,000,000) and Niota/Nanota/Nano-iota (.000000001)

yea, just make it more complicated. I am sure the masses are able to follow Wink

Blocknet is the most advanced project in crypto right now with the most solid team to back it up always listeninng to community feedbacks and very responsive.

Tech-wise almost near completition. Unbelievable you can still buy it so cheap.

did you look at the timeline?
last action there was initial token offering, and thats over a year ago. Before there were actions weekly
what should I think of it...
1075  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: IOTA Crowdsale on: December 04, 2015, 08:05:15 AM
Question Much, just kidding, wish I got on the train sooner Sad

really?
BTC was worth about 600 at that time and you spent 0.5 BTC = 300$ on 1000 ETH.
ATM 1000 ETH are about 813$. Although its more than double I wouldn't call this a lost train yet...
I wouldn't be sure, that is is not going down even more...
And you have to keep in mind, that the money would have been stuck all the time...
1076  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: IOTA Crowdsale on: December 03, 2015, 10:21:06 PM
I agree with most of your points. But this is again directly tied to how many people got an incentive to make sure that it gets adopted in more places. For IOTA it is not meant to be used by merchants in stores. It's meant for machine-2-machine payment and real-time compensation, so the goal is to get it adopted as the standard IoT payment method. This will require several enthusiastic activists working together to achieve these goals, and in that case it is best to have a good distribution.

I am afraid those activists will be only in the founding group. If they are not active noone will be...
But maybe we are lucky and find some IOTA Antonopoulos ;-)
1077  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: IOTA Crowdsale on: December 03, 2015, 09:58:16 PM
aaaand that's about the max that will be raised.  

I don't see many more buying now that the 15% incentive is gone.

Congratulations, everyone on the extra 15%.  Effectively everyone has 0% extra because we all cancel eachother out  Wink

Unless of course I'm wrong and a lot more is raised from here on out.

No, because if more money comes in, it dilutes your % of IOTA more than what you earn for that 15% extra. So being selfish, with less money for IOTA development, you will get more IOTAs if no one else buys anymore and the 15% extra is denied.

This glances over the most important variable: a healthy and self-sustaining community. We can develop the best technology in the universe and still have it fail if we don't get traction, as we've seen with millions of examples throughout history. So the more people who buy = more funding for development/growth of ecosystem and a more vital community, which in the long run will make the IOTAs infinitely more useful than if they are just scarce.

So, we just paid money for becoming community members?  Grin Grin Grin

Yes entrance fee to the exclusive group! Haha, no. But I think a lot people get too caught up in the numbers and fail to see the big picture. Sure owning a bigger % of something always seems the best, but if owning a big portion means that there are less people who care about the thing, then it's self-defeating. Liquidity and an active community is vital to organic growth. The IOTA community that we will run ( anyone is free to create their own, IOTA is 100% decentral ) will focus soley on growth of IOTA adoption and not discuss IOTA value from day to day at all, as that is just detrimental. Just look at nxtforum, which thread is most popular? Price speculation. When price speculation is more active than the enthusiasm in getting the project to be useful in the real world, then it's a sure sign of doom.

A good distribution is nice, but its not the main point. I participated on many crowdsales and it was nearly always, that I got less in the crowdsale, than I could have gotten, if I bought it after release. Only ethereum brought a little more, but not really compared to the price of btc at that time and it seems like it could still reach lower points.
Sadly I didn't know about NXT early enough, although it didn't have a good distribution...  But now, as it IS distributed better: decline... decline... decline

This said, the main points are technology, marketing and most important: DIRECT usefulness. I am not talking of about features. No. Every person out there asks one simple question: Where can I pay with it. If you can't answer this, just forget it. Look at bitcoin.
At the beginning it was worth a shit! 10000 BTC for a pizza... maybe a market cap of 5000 - 10000?
Why? Noone knew about it? No, maybe not enough, but more important: Noone could USE it the way it was created for. To PAY! So it was useless! Regardless community!

And now all new coins think they can start just like bitcoin. The beginning is low and it will grow from itself and the rest will come. But that doesn't work.
Because - whether you wanted or not - you started a fight against BTC.

Maybe some BTC-Holder says: This coin is nice and has awesome features, I will buy it.
But that means, he will exchange a few of his BTC into that coin. Not Fiat, no! Only BTC (or maybe some other coins that are more useless at that time)!

And he will always have more trust in BTC, because he can use it on way more places. So he will only spend a fraction of his BTC.
And wether it will go up or down (and mostly it went down). Most of those guys will sell it sooner or later, because they feel more secure with the BTC, because they can spend it.

Thats why you can only succeed, if you make your coin being accepted on many places as well.
But lets see, maybe I am completely wrong and with the next BTC-Rally everything will raise with it. But honestly I am doubting that...

Go down to asset transactions.

If i am not mistaken, 37949 JINNs have been sent to the IOTA Crowdsale.

*.0063 = 239.0787 btc

+ 678.3005 in https://blockchain.info/address/1G8hh3bHMMhZSATwisBVbGFSYBKK3Suib8

917.3792 btc have gone in the +15% extra phase.

Some transactions are not confirmed yet, those who sent them should hope that miners will set block timestamps in the past, otherwise they will likely get only 7.5% bonus.
what are you talking about? I don't see any not confirmed one here
https://blockchain.info/address/1G8hh3bHMMhZSATwisBVbGFSYBKK3Suib8

Something interesting.

wtf. seems like a name change is advisable...

Haha, no. While interesting, this is not an issue at all IMO. They don't even seem active.

its dangerous, if you share the same name within the same field. you can run easily into law issues...
Would be something else if they sell cola...
