SUPER SCAM

Why would you say that? I see nothing that implies scam in this coin. The developers do what they can. Give it some time.

Do you see today's hashrate 3.145 MH/sec ? upss...

That is a big jump.



I'm waiting for something cool

Surely a coin limited to use on tor will hinder it's adoption? I guess maybe coins will have to use tor in the future if governments try crack down on their useage.

Well, its not really limited, you can use it with Tor or I2P and after the implementation of Zerocoin it's truly anonymous anyway.
The coin is in existence already by the way. I only made the post so I could post on bitcointa.lk which can still be used in China.

Zerocoin is already launched? good. Was really interested in this project. BTW,I usually use Tor even it's slow. How it could be limited? I mean if it's true anonymity than no one can limit you, right?

You have no idea what you are talking about, we are not brainless if we speak about constant volume and not this one which dogecoin has in his pump & dump action.

Nice that you can't respond to any point I've made, so you go the usual troll, "You have no idea what you are talking about" route. Constant volume sure is bringing Litecoin's price ever lower isn't it?

Nice fail.

Dogecoin is worth more than Litecoin. The end.

I don't need respond to who is taking dogecoin seriously, everyone who has spend a decent amount of time in Crypto world know what the problems of Dogecoin is.

If you want just someone that speaks with you about this coin to bump this thread you need to find another troll, as i know Dogecoin community likes to do this shit everywhere.

I doubt that Dogecoin should be taken seriously as from the beginning it was made for fun.
But I agree that Doge is worth more than LTC. LTC is falling and won't get up. At the moment I am quite interested to know when Doge will stop rising ?

I am admired of your pumps and dumps. But on the other hand this make me feel cautious because I don't the point to you to share this info with us  Huh

If you have to resort to intentionally using the wrong word for something, it's probably because your argument was specious to begin with.

That's usual situation, I know many people (on the forum and in a real world) who think ''clone''  is synonymous with ''fork'' .
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Project Pump legendary pumps are back! Bittrex Sep. 14. Sunday 4pm EDT on: September 15, 2014, 11:18:11 AM
Pump seemed weak. Bob surplus' pumps are much more epic. Disappointed actually.

Must say I have to agree. For all the build up this pump was pretty limp.  Roll Eyes


Usual pump&dump scam but this time it doesn't work well. I can see there are a lot of people who haven't who do not pecked at the bait.

trading: some dudes pool together their money and redistibute it.

most coins: shortlived one or two-time pumps for the trading and mining - fun

very few coins: potentially wide adopted real money

noobs have a hard time telling which is which

That's so difficult to find out which coin is a long-term coin and which is not. At the beginning I was thinking that LTC is a long-term coin and everybody were shouting at each corner that LTC is a silver ( by analogy with Bitcoins vs Gold) but now I doubt it is true.
I was invested in some alt coins but they also don't look like a long term coins but have a good dev team because I was thinking that the clue to success is a great dev team but the time has shown that it is not always the truth

(1)  BTC - still dominant, could change within 6 months
........... - you will never see velocity or $10,000, but it's a core holding like gold

(2)  LTC - scrypt far from dead, 2nd most secure coin, better value than BTC
........... - it's about security, security, security, stupid... could double any time

(3)  NXT - dodgy or not, this will fly, *** hit "simplicity sweet spot" dead on ***
..........  - any small businessman can master NXT and launch an IPO in weeks
........... - despite being effectively controlled by ONE PERSON, NXT Asset Exchange is taking off
..........  - all other Gen 2.0 are either useless (XCP) or too complex for non-engineers (XRP)
..........  - biggest problem is centralization, US govt could shut it down in hours

(4) BC... - amazing PoS story, great community, BitHalo

(5) VIA.. - 2 world class developers (drak/todd) will figure it out
...........  - told you scrypt not dead, when PoS and Gen 2.0 assets start blowing up, PoW makes BIG comeback
...........  - 24 sec blocks, designed as currency, not e-gold for hoarders like BTC

BONUS

(6) CNMT - will be major players on exploding NXT exchange and, of course, jl777 heavily invested


 What do you think about DOGE/BTSX/DCN?
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are some good coins to invest right now for Christmas vacation money? on: September 14, 2014, 03:00:21 PM
I actually can't understand why everyone is just looking for a quick investment.
Generally a longterm investment can afford a much higher profit distribution. Just keep that in mind when you are looking for an investment.

My best recommendation is NEM.

Certainly the value of NEM will also gain in early days after distribution.
But as longterm-investment you may earn 20-50 times of that what you've invested in early days.



I've got a question - so you thinks that long term investment will be in 20-50 times more profitable ?
In some cases you are right, but do you remember about discount factor? that's why while comparing the profits from investing in projects with different periods of implementation you should remember about discount factor and about hte possibility to reinvest you funds. In this case I'd recommend to use EAA formula
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are your top 5 altcoins - in order? on: September 14, 2014, 02:48:07 PM
I'd say that Doge coin has pretty interesting cap today and the graphs show that it's going to grow up and up
IMO, NXT is quite good altcoin too. I like Nxt Forum - looks like Bitcointalk but with other forum sections
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are your top 5 altcoins - in order? on: September 01, 2014, 09:14:01 AM
Bitcoin
Namecoin
Peercoin
Litecoin
Vertcoin

Except LTC as it's dead! Here is an interesting article about LTC - http://www.coindesk.com/litecoin-price-decouples-bitcoin-slump-continues/
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Blowing the lid off the CryptoNote/Bytecoin scam (with the exception of Monero) on: August 22, 2014, 12:43:35 PM
I have carefully read this publication several times and, you know, I’ve got the impression that someone is trying hard to impose upon us his point of view. Someone wants us to think in a certain way.    
    
 I’ve tried to look at the whole situation as a bystander and posted below there are conclusions I’ve come to:  

1. It's obvious that someone is trying to discredit the CryptoNote technology along with all the CN-based coins.

CryptoNote team has published official statement yesterday https://cryptonote.org/news/archive

Quote
Greetings to all the members of the CryptoNote community and those who are interested in the technology. This message is our response to the recent developments and speculations within the CN community. Before we get to the point we’d like to reassert our firm commitment to the long-standing philosophy behind CryptoNote. Everything we do is for the sake of technology, and we take great joy as we progress towards our goal.

The initial efforts at CryptoNote development go back as far as 4 years. Some great minds were involved in its creation. More than two years ago the first implementations of CN technology were unleashed on the world of cryptocurrencies and from that moment forward the community that was forged around our vision and values grew exponentially.

What is currently going on within the CN community hardly resembles the harmonious state of mutual respect and synergy that once ruled over the CN coins. Someone clearly is instigating hostility. Moreover, the CryptoNote website has recently been exposed to illegal access by malicious users, which is absolutely unacceptable. Some data stored on cryptonote.org have been vandalized and is now temporary unavailable until the internal investigation is completed.

Having thoroughly reviewed the situation around certain CN currencies, the CryptoNote team would like to issue the following statement:

• It is the official position of CryptoNote that our technology has been created to bring positive changes into the current financial system by providing tools that have never existed before. The technology is what concerns us the most. We are not to be distracted or misled by the speculative rumors and strongly suggest you to follow suit.

• CryptoNote is not a cryptocurrency and has not been designed to be one. The only CryptoNote currency that the CryptoNote team officially endorses is CryptoNoteCoin, which has zero commercial value and serves educational purposes only.

• We consider all the name-calling and finger-pointing that has taken place on certain internet discussions as inappropriate and harmful to further development of the CryptoNote technology.
Over the years CryptoNote has had to overcome a great number of obstacles but those striving so desperately to deter the advance of new technologies are doomed to fail. We are strong believers in the power of innovation and there is no way to stop the CN development.
Discussion thread: https://forum.cryptonote.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=265&p=883#p883

Do you see this bold text? Think about it.

2. Someone tries to cause distrust and enmity between Monero and other CN-coins. "Divide et impera" is an old maxim.
 "with the exception of Monero" in the subject of this tread proves it better than everything else.

The question is: who is that "someone"? I have some thoughts on topic, but I don't want to publish them until I have enough evidence.


Seems to me that someone’s blowing his gaskets trying to smear the CN tech up and down.  Hexah deserves some credit on this one, even Monero has gotten its share of the shit pie here. Making it look like a pinnacle of the CN technology ready to take on Bitcoin is just outright ridiculous.

It all smells like the competition is playing out its tricky scheme on us. I don’t want to engage in the finger-pointing here (enough has been done so far) but isn’t it like Darkcoin hates us all. Those guys have never been particularly picky about their methods.
Shall we do some ass-kicking on their thread in retaliation?      

Well, Darkcoin hasn't been feeling good lately indeed. We know those guys are annoying with all the FUD in their topics. They surely have the incentive to discredit CryptoNote platform. But I'm not sure that they were capable of falsifying whitepaper on CryptoNote website.

Thinking more about it, I'd say that the biggest CryptoNote enemy is the government. Their philosophy is against the status quo. CryptoNote and Bytecoin is the very anonymous cryptocurrency out there. Ok, this is a bit over the roof, but if the whitepaper is replaced NSA, then I'm not surprised that Bytecoin developers are so anynomous. You just don't know what to expect.

Maybe CryptoNote will reveal the results of their investigations soon.

Maybe it’s an inside job or some kind of revenge attempt. There are so many possibilities for this type of behaviour, maybe in the end somebody is trying to earn some money crushing the exchange rate of all CN coins. While we’re talking somebody is making $$$

I know who is it: (right answer - Monero)

If we can have a drunk person vs a HIGH person drive a car thru an obstacle course I'm sure it would be interesting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJJRVleE3_Q
http://kdvr.com/2012/05/17/web-poll-driving-high-vs-driving-drunk/

Drunk people shouldn't drive. The same applies for people who get high on Marijuana or Opium. So let's leave that argument aside. If some idiot refuses to obey the rules and cause an accident, it is his responsibility to take the blame. Can't put the blame in cannabis / alcohol.

Agreed. As somebody said: Guns don't kill people, people kill people. (or something like that)

Opera is based on Chrome (at least current version). So what's the point of using it.
16  Other / Off-topic / Re: Best book you ever had? on: April 29, 2014, 03:47:38 PM
Lord of the Rings is awesome.

Also, Forgotten Realms series is too.

*Huge fantasy fan here*
17  Other / Off-topic / Re: What Browser You Use on: April 29, 2014, 03:46:34 PM
Chrome and sometimes Opera

Opera? Seriously?
18  Other / Off-topic / Re: Worst Movies You Have Ever Watched on: April 29, 2014, 03:45:19 PM
I just reminded to myself a worst movie EVER. EVER.
And I ever forgot how bad it was - as it was so bad that my brain wasn't able to store a data for this title.
Batman & Robin

Batman & Robin would have been utter crap. But some remarkable acting by Arnold Schwarzenegger saved the movie in my opinion. The others (George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell, Uma Thurman... ) were all wasted.

/agreed

Arnold pulled this movie out of the crapper.

What about a good mobile wallet?  Roll Eyes

blockchain.info is great.

Yeah, it is, but unfortunately you can't get it on iphone anymore because of the rapebastards that are Apple. Glad I got mine before they took is down though.

I just noticed this, trying to go to the app store and searching for one.

How come apple took block chain`s app wallet. Do they not support bitcoin?  Cry

Most companies are supporting bitcoin, I`d figure they would be one of the many to adopt it 1st, outside from overstock.com, tigerdirect, etc.

Yeah, pretty much every bitcoiner was disappointed in Apple.
