The web wallet works fine, personally I find that easier to deal with than syncing up a wallet on my computer since I can access it from any machine. But it will be good to see the desktop wallet release soon too.

More people as in more to the team?

There is a reason crypto mining is called Proof of "Work", i.e there is actual energy from processing power and electricity put into minting coins which gives it inherent value. Well you know what, they did the work too in developing the coin with the original white paper dating back to 2013 and they've been working on it since. Work & labor is measured in more ways than just flipping on your mining software.

And for once they launched a coin that is actually working with features right from the onset instead of another lame "hey we got this really good idea, we just need 2 years to do it and an ICO to get it off the ground"

In my mind they earned the premine, and with the small supply and strong holders from the airdrop I predict it can be a top 10.   

I used to work in the auction industry, there was a saying that an item was worth whatever someone was willing to pay on that day.

Just a question, coinmarketcap reports there is 450 million MAID but there is only 7.3 million for sale on Polo and only a few thousand on Rex. What is the actual number of tradeable coins on the market?

It's funny how the community gets so excited to reach half the original ATH lol.

The good thing is I think when we hit the coveted $1,000 mark again, it will be alot quicker and easier to go from $1,000 to $2k and beyond than from $200 back to $1000.

Google "Average college salary" and "The overall average starting salary for Class of 2014 college graduates stands at $48,707, up 7.5 percent from the average of $45,327 posted by the Class of 2013 at this time last year, according to NACE's September 2014 Salary Survey report."

Unfortunately were not all as blessed to be hired as Scroogle coming out of school with no work experience.

But anyway the point stands, why is the dev of Bitcoin core and someone who says he routinely can/or/earns between $200k and $500k arguing for a year with the developer of a sub $1m dollar alt coin? (probably even sub $200k at the time Maxwell first got into it with JC) That makes even high school dropouts raise an eyebrow.

I saw this same phenomenon the other day when a lead Ethereum developer saw the volume on Expanse and got butthurt on twitter about it, getting absolutely angry over an asset worth 1/500th of his, is this what keeps the elite up at night?

I'm not qualified enough to say if JC's code is really worth its weight in gold or not, but it tells you something when a Bitcoin dev gets riled up over what the dev in an endless sea of altcoins is doing. Same goes for someone claiming to make $500k a year...

I still got a few, would like to see it go somewhere...

I've caught his IP address running nodes. This address along with a few other IPs out of Sydney have been running non-stop since his disappearance.





You couldn't connect to Uroex.com for over a year, yet the other day I went on and this message popped up







then it disappeared a few hours later.

Now if you go to Uroex.com you get this






Don't know what to make of it, just throwing it out there.

I saw a 78 BTC sell wall flash briefly about a minute before the big dump, I think we can guess who is responsible

I call BS, if someone market bought & injected 400 BTC into the market EXP would have gone alot higher than a dollar. Take what scambust says with a grain of salt.

There is 800 btc between the current price and the previous ATH, to me that indicates someone pushing the price down.

Well you know the good thing about the DAO concept, I would think if you don't like it you could vote to burn it in theory if you get enough consensus.

Also I'll ask the reverse question, is there any excuse for devs working for free to make others rich either?
I personally wouldn't have done EXP's branding if I didn't get paid from the bounty. I don't mind premines, most crypto projects fail because devs have no incentive to keep working on a project if there is no financial reward involved. I don't work for free, so why should others?

Well part of the airdrop process was each applicant would be verified as having a significant social history before being given coins.

Problem is alot of goobers around here are so hard-up to shill their other coin bags or get free coins for stuff like this they bother to spend months creating fake profiles.

Good news is the funds have been raised to get a Chinese translation so hopefully we can get on Yuanbaohui

What is the mentally-ill Putin poodle anti-semite up to now?

I see this as a BIG problem for cryptocurrencies. It's hard enough to get most people to upgrade their operating system once every decade, how do we expect them to know how to and maintain and update a Bitcoin wallet with money inside?

This is one reason I never see banks going away, joe public just doesn't trust holding their own money.

Nice to future proof things now and it will also give Bitseeds an edge that Bitcoin doesn't have. What BIPs in particular if you don't mind sharing?

...or people just need to stop trusting their coins with former porn tsars and magic the gathering trading card dealers. There are plenty of big Bitcoin exchanges that are fully insured in the event of theft and funded by respectable business people with a reputation to keep, problem is the alt world is alot murkier.
