I agree with that wholeheartedly... DEV, that can be done VERY easily and for very little money. The logical consequence would be to sign up many other companies that would be more than glad to put out special offers for the demographics of XBOT.

It is indeed a big opportunity.

The otherwise very funny video of Hitler has lost quite a bit of comic punch with the reference to DOGE, since the little dog has gone up so much since that actually Hitler would have been very, very happy with that switch...

Just a few words of advise to the greedy: This is a disaster waiting to happen. To you, the participants in the ICO/IPO/giving money away for vapor/whatever.

No PoD = Scam. 99 out of 100 times.

Those are your odds.

This, by the way, stinks of Carlos Ferguson... take a look at Libertycoin...

But I could be wrong, of course.

Very sharp.

That is an excellent idea. And could (should) be a profitable too. Problem is it requires a lot of work and the dev/s seem to be quite busy as it is. Being that time is of essence, it would be nice if there was some community initiative. For instance: Make donations to order a few hundred t-shirts with the XBOT logo and sell them directly. All profits going to the XBOT fund. Volunteers? Donors?

Thank you.

You have any more bids? I could fill you a few above 22... although I believe it could go much higher too. This sudden move is very encouraging.

Is the stake number the REAL one or like before?

Question: If I put up for sale some coins on twitter, if someone buys them at the price I ask, are there any fees? There should be none since no exchange intervenes outside of twitter, con someone confirm that?

Arsene, you still don't get it:  but "...this deal has been changed so many times by so many different ppl that it has been hard to keep track." is both misleading AND incorrect. This deal has only been changed by one person, James. Only by him. And yes, he has changed it a couple of times -every single one in favor of Vericoin's community, it is important to say- but I find that you looking for in formation from other sources, when you have posted here, from the horse's mouth (not only James but also the devs of Vericoin), the truth, seem quite absurd... or worse.

Again: You still have it wrong. Quite. James is no longer asking for any personal compensation to him... except anything the the Vericoin community deems he deserved and decides to give to him when and if the results exceed the thresholds already set. It will be entirely VOLUNTARY. You get that, don't you? But ask James for further clarification before reaching quite "fou" conclusions on your own.

The other thing where you are 100% WRONG -so I am correcting you, as requested- is in the matter of the 2.6 million VRC "given" to SuperNET... NOTHING will be "given" here. It is, currently, an initial requirement of the SuperNET to have the candidates to be part of its core, invest 10% of their total value in SuperNET which, in turn, will invest the same amount in the candidate. So instead of "given" it would be a "swap" of equal value. Quite a different proposition.

Now, as James has explained, these things change and adapt depending on the many variables and circumstances along the way, so nothing is either guaranteed nor written on stone. And EVERYTHING will depend on the free will of the Vericoin community when those milestones are reached.

Which, like in the case of your advice regarding future potential legislation, is I am afraid, quite premature.

As for 60% being "nothing in this world of crypto..." I get your meaning, clumsy and absurd as it is, but it is still 60%: People have 13 now where they had 8... which is MORE than 60% but still good for reference purposes.

Now you are quite funny indeed when you state that you didn't go running around shouting the gains in Vericoin after the launch were "the Lupin effect"... Really funny. You know what? They weren't "the lupin effect". The lupin effect is, in a very twisted way, laughable (because laugh is good, which is the opposite of what you, lupin, represent). I'm sorry for being a bit blunt but coming here completely uninformed, spreading all kind of misinformation and somehow pretending that having 1/2 million VRC gives you any kind of authority, makes me feel that I need to be way blunt-er. Like medieval blunter. So I exercise quite a bit of restrain to keep it civil.

I hope you appreciate it.

@ James

The main and so far ONLY purpose of the regulation coming in the US is the PROTECTION of the consumers and investors. Investors are ALREADY quite responsible for their dividends, in crypto or anything else, and they MUST pay taxes on those. Already.

Now, it is presumable that part of the regulation coming will include the obligation of a carrier of funds to notify the authorities when a transaction exceeding X amount, takes place in its network. This is part of the obligation of banks, currently. Could it be exported to crypto? It seems quite unlikely (for no matter how big the amount it could be sliced into many smaller transaction, therefore going under the radar), so the presumption that peer-to-peer transactions, anonymous or not, would be against the law after regulation is implemented, is just that, a baseless presumption; now, when that is carried out to make the coin itself responsible, legally, for what the users do with the technology it provides, it is simply, at this point, preposterous.

Monsieur Lupin  has simply gone fou on us here ...

Monsieur Lupin, you express yourself very poorly and, consequently, it is very hard to understand what you say. Some of it.

I believe you are worried by the potential inclusion of Vericoin in the SuperNET being a possible non-compliance aspect of possible (as a matter of fact, sure) regulation coming up in the US... while we all must be thankful for your felt concern, we also should do everything we can to push the Vericoin project forward, you know. And while you give credit to James for having unified the community, you fail to give him credit for several other things that, presumably, he has also brought, chief among them the technological know-how to bring Vericoin to the forefront of the most advanced coins in the market. And, although you give that credit to the community, the increase in volume and price, sorry monsieur, all "Jame's effect". So, as they say, we will cross the bridge of regulation when we get there. And, hopefully, we will do it with enough tools and resources to even influence that regulation coming, something we would have never been in position to do sans the "James effect".

You use the word "market" in several different ways, all wrong, I'm afraid. You use it as a synonym of "price", which is quite incorrect and then you use it in a very ambiguous way that I am unable to discern when you say "... with the amount of market promised to him...", which is just too confusing to even address. So I would just say NO, YOU ARE 100% wrong. And leave it at that, since no amount of explanations would convince you of the evident truth.

But you are extremely confused in a lot of things, besides those too: Mintpal is an exchange and, as such, lacks any power whatsoever to "... maybe just maybe mintpal would do the right thing and put vrc back to the price we had gotten it to b4 they at mintpal dropped the ball...". What did you expects exactly, that you even dare to call "the right thing"? You SURELY don't mean that somehow manipulating the price would be "the right thing", do you? And how would you figure an exchange can manipulate the price? It seems to me monsieur that "the right thing" that you hoped for is indeed a very nasty, illegal, punishable by law and otherwise impossible to carry out "thing".

Those plans that "we" (you and your group) had to bring in "REAL money and Corporate support..." to Vericoin, were anywhere in the horizon? Because when the coin bottomed (not "around 10", but actually below 8 sat) we experienced a prolonged drought of any kind of support, Corporate, REAL money or otherwise, from anywhere, while people was jumping ship right and left and all the way around while Vericoin was discounted as just another dead project by most across cryptoland. You know? It is very nice to offer someone food when he's hungry but if you offer a potential nice dinner sometime down the road, lets say MONTHS down the line, how do you think the hungry man would feel about it?

Finally, Monsieur, your 1/2 million VRC is worth today, still, even at these weekend discount prices, 60% more than it was worth before James' involvement in VRC. This is a FACT that I dare to suggest you should take advantage of since the project, to you Monsieur, has veered away from the idea that brought you in. Personally, while I hate that you will leave, I admit that I'd love to see you go.

Exactly like any other conventional coin. Gotcha. Thanks.

Unfortunately that "info" is quite a bit scattered and you have to take it with a grain of salt... a very big one at that.

It is complex and difficult to put forward in a few words, but I'll try: jl777, "James" is a member of the Vericoin community and has a sizable (around 220k VRC) investment in it. He is also an "honorary dev", so to speak, self-bound to get Vericoin to join the core of the SuperNET project... in due time. It will be a few months, before he can get the code up to speed with the requirements the SuperNET imposes and, meanwhile, Vericoin and its devs will be acting as spokespersons for the SuperNET project. All of this has been enthusiastically supported by all but 2 of the members of this community, including the three devs who have generously donated to the initial requirement of James (an option fund of sorts). Given that the community and its devs came out with over 500k Vericoin "donated" to the fund in 48 hours, James exercised unparalleled generosity and reverted the fund entire to the community... so the funding continues in effect with a target of 2 to 2.5 million coins which, with the full support of the community, will be earmarked to acquire a stake in SuperNET in exchange for an investment of the SuperNET in Vericoin, in identical amount.

There are two targets (or thresholds), set by James, one to reach 0.0005 BTC per VRC in price, and another to reach 0.001BTC. Although the ETA is cloudy, all those targets and objectives can and should be accomplished along the next few months, 6 at most, but obviously there are no warranties.

I hope this synthesis reflects the current situation and projects -along with the ones that Vericoin had itself before "James" came in, of course-. For more detail, you should look for one the most recent posts by PNosker, one of the developers, in which he offered a nice update on what was actually taking place in the new roadmap of the development, since James arrived. It should be within the last 10 pages of the forum, I think.

That, as has been posted here many times before, is the problem when you deal with intermediaries. Moolah and coinsis are in this to make money. They will do for you the work, but you will pay for it in additional commissions. And that is why those "conveniencies" are much less so than they appear to be. It is neither sad nor the opposite, it just is. You do understand that people work for money, don't you? And that those companies need to make money to cover their risks and expenses, right?

That wasn't that hard, was it? It isn't "for dummies' but for anyone (and should be in the OP, and better written, by the way).

Now, there's not enough clarity still -so here it is for chapter 2:

If you bought XBOT (the traditional way, meaning through your account in one exchange) and want to stake your XBOT, how do you go about it? Do you send them from the exchange to your wallet -in your desktop or laptop-, like every other crypto OR, in order to be credited for the staking, do you have to send them to your tweeter/Xbot address first and THEN, from there, to your QT wallet?

And more: In order to stake, do you have to keep your wallet opened -and not encrypted- and your computer running?

All these are very simple and yet necessary questions for anyone, crypto-enlightened or not, to even start considering an investment in XBOT. Why is not a very clear guide, step by step, with all those answers, in the OP?

They  said -like everyone does- that it is precisely directed to the regular people. But, since you put it so bluntly, I will dare you to measure your brain with mine, on ANY level, and with a nice amount of either FIAT or CRYPTO on the wagger... what stupid, stupid thing to say....

Where? Where do I issue such "command"?

And you get "Unknown command" response from it...

This is obviously a nice idea but they are so far from ready for primetime it's ridiculous.

How does this thing actually works? I mean, I have Twitter in my laptop and in my phone. I also have the Windows wallet. Now how do I get the interface to actually trade?

I mean, you guys want regular people to use this? You must be kidding...
