I was just talking about this to someone earlier.

Like it or not, alt coins are good for the cryptosphere.
Competition breeds efficiency and innovation, even as the ruthless Darwinian logic of the market whittles down the undeserving.

23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Drying up the lake on: April 03, 2014, 03:18:41 PM
We know that about 10% of all coins are generally traded on the exchanges. So if you take 10% of that 10% that are not in control you are left with only 1% of all coins up for sale.

I don't think this is correct, man.
Please bear in mind that for most coins, only a fraction is mined during the early days - and there have been several monumentally massive first-week/month dumping that far, far exceed the 10% mark.

Unless coins have PoS or stellar innovation/development, exchanges are typically flooded from the get go. Even some of the relatively stronger coins suffer from cyclic dumping in an effort to strategically depress prices.

[How I can trade with Bitcoin] and [how I can make good money in Bitcoin?] [Is Bitcoin is similar to Forex?]

(i) At exchanges.

(ii) Let me know when you find out (some would say just hoard it, but if everyone did, Bitcoin would eventually atrophy).

(iii) Fundamentally, yes. Bitcoin fulfills the three defining criteria of a fiat currency - storage of value, unit of accounting and medium of trade. Ergo, Bitcoin trading is conceptually similar to forex. However, Bitcoin operates under a completely different environment compared to fiat currencies; chiefly, it is a decentralized, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that is not subject to central banks interest rates, balance of trade, national debt and political stability. The learning curve is shallow, but intrinsically distinct to fiats.

Anyone been to Prague?

Our whole class is going there this year so I was wondering what interesting stuff can be done there Cheesy

Is some stuff legal which isn't somewhere else and shizzle Cheesy

I'v heard stuff of absint, so going to buy that but looking for other interesting shizzle, provide some info Smiley

Prague is probably the most beautiful city in Europe, and one of the most beautiful in the world.
You would do well to make the most of your time there - do plenty of homework and plan a tight schedule.
Forget about the shizzles - plenty of time for that in future.  Smiley

To whet your appetite, feast your eyes on Charles Bridge.

An impressive launch, Zach.

One concern, however. Your PLC might run into compliance issues wrt foreign funding of a 501(c)(3) and receipt of sums of more than $10,000.
I don't know nearly enough to advise on the matter, but please look into it.

I rarely comment on an ANN thread, but I like what I am reading.

However, buck the trend.
Introduce yourself and your company formally - especially since your biggest selling point is your media savvy and industry connections.
Outline in detail your planned distribution channel and A&P campaign.
If it's credible, you will be pleasantly surprised at the support you will receive.

Fed Reserve LOST $9 Trillions and they dont know where it went. When being asked the government responded that they dont have jurisdiction to investigate the Fed Reserve:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QK4bblyfsc


I like to know what your response to that statement. Especially at 3:10.... amazing isn it?

Yet the media never made a big deal of this. (especially compared to MtGox fiasco). I guess the media is pretty much owned by banksters.
 



As a community, I think we have to be careful using inaccurate information to further the cause.
We want to build a reputation for absolute truth and absolute integrity.

In this instance, while the act itself is immoral (though legal, under the 'Emergency and Other Authorities to Authorize Liquidity Programs to Stabilize Markets and Institutions'), the $9 trillion were mainly overnight loans to financial institutions which subsequently repaid the sum in its entirety. Moreover, the $9 trillion is largely inaccurate as it includes daily rollover figures.
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: OpenEx to be shut down[Hacked] on: March 21, 2014, 05:39:08 AM
r3wt has yet to show ANY proof whatsoever that there was a theft.  He claims 34 BTC were taken.  So, where are the transactions in the blockchain?  Not some internal accounting, not a copy+paste on pastebin, actual verifiable transactions.  If there was a theft, there are transactions.  Period.

there wasn't a theft of 34 btc, nor did i ever claim it. just a 34 btc discrepancy. fuck off.

I'm confused, r3wt.

Your original OP:

31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CryptoRush.in Are you Scamming Votes or Not? on: March 18, 2014, 12:47:52 AM
ECC was not the winner, we refreshed on the dot of the count down and RealStackCoin was the winner. That's how we decide the winner, what the system says at the time the clock hits 0. As for the bug, that bug only shows at the bottom of the list, not the top half (the correct half). The other 2 top contenders were 1-2 mins late with winning, sorry about that.

Give the proof that RSC is the winner, you still say the last seconds they voted 140000 votes? This is completely bullshit.

The credibility of cryptorush is serious a problem now, if it can not be done in a fair way the vote system, then it is simply cheating there!

I never said they voted 140000, they won with 19494 votes only. I said the display on the bottom half of the page was incorrect. It's corrected now.
If they won with 19494 votes. Then it's still wrong. We had more than +22.000 Votes when counter hit 0. Please bring us your logs that proves how much we had votes at that time! Also i need you pay back those funds original senders! I see you no delivering service and keeping money with you.

We don't keep logs that extensive unfortunately, we log when users vote with buttons and which times they voted. It would take a long time to build a report to proove this. There's nothing to prove here. We're adding ECC tonight anyway.

This is scam, it is simply not possible vote 10000 in the last seconds, your system is fraud, and you still try to deny it. You made a mistake listing the scam one and you don't want to correct your mistake. Make sure the future all these holes are fixed so at least there are some fairness of your system.

Suite yourself. I've told you how the system works, and I've even told you ECC is coming on tonight. If you keep calling it a scam I won't feel like listing it anymore.

I don't own any of the coins mentioned above, so I do not have any stake here.
Your explanation of what transpired were unclear and lack corroboration, and your subsequent threat (highlighted above) reminds me of a Dalberg quote.

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Digitalcoin Dev ROBBED! on: March 18, 2014, 12:35:16 AM

I am hesitant to post in such an ill-tempered thread, but the conversation linked above is, simply put, terrifying!
If there really is a trojan out in the wild capable of doing the stuff Baritus wrote, the implications are catastrophic.
Speaking as a code-blind person, would it be wrong to assume that one or all of the exchanges (I think there's eleven?) could be literally sitting on a time bomb right now? 

<baritus> through some PHP bug(I'm guessing) or some trojan that's going around, some hacker was able to reset password on c ave
<baritus> for a few users
<baritus> not sure how it's possible since I already looked at all my code and it doesn't allow for it ever
<baritus> and the other odd things is, they were able to get the verification email codes
<baritus> from the user's email accounts
<baritus> which I am not sure of how they did it either
<baritus> good news is, I had detection kick in that locked out those accounts
<baritus> so I still have everyone's funds
<baritus> but the bad news is, someone has a trojan embedded in a lot of crypto community or some unknown bug in PHP makes it completely insecure

33  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WTF Jimmy Wales aka Wikipedia ? on: March 13, 2014, 04:26:06 AM
From what I gather from his comments, Jimmy Wales appears to be an ungrateful asshole.

Give Jimmy some time and the respect he deserves - he has already given so much to the online community.

Wikipedia is a CIA front. It includes lots of trivia, sports results, celebrity biographies etc., which are factual, mixed up with falsified historical events/fake terror events passed off as a fact. It's part of the Pentagon's mindgame trickery. I suggest reading the work of Professor Carroll Quigley, Scottish radio show host Alan Watt, and the media fakery site Cluesforum.info, to understand this better. No insults please. It's up to you, to inform yourself. I promise you that you'll find these sources highly enlightening (unless of course you think you know everything already).

Wales is extremely dishonest.



Man, five years slumming there and I didn't even realize I was under the CIA's payroll.
On the plus side, CIA pays well, so I can look forward to a gratuity/pension. Right?
Must share this news with the other editors. Oh much joy, so happiness!

Seriously though, is it still fashionable to use fringe conspiracy theories as a tool to discredit major political and thought leaders?
And do you realize statements like yours is disrespectful to the character of thousands of volunteer editors who spend their free hours there daily for no other reason than to create the biggest tome of knowledge in the entire history of humanity?

Absolutely uncalled for. Jimbo is one of the good guys of the internet.
While his comment might not be in the best interest of BTC, it is nevertheless logical and reasoned.
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who decides regional coin status on: March 12, 2014, 06:57:14 PM
How are the regional coins regonized, or does it just means that devteam post: this is regional coin for xxx

Developers are required to first submit a request to the Bureau of Alt Coins, signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.

Aided by exhaustive surveys of targeted demographic samples, projections of M1 and M2 money supply, the Fed's 12-mth lending rates, mining forecasts and coin logo color preferences, developers thereafter spin a plastic globe. With their eyes firmly shut, and using only their right index finger, devs must stop the globe from spinning with a poke. The location of the poke will determine the principal location of said coin.

Developers are frequently reminded not to use plastic globes made in Libya, as their coin could potentially be called Al Jumahiriyah al Arabiyah al Libiyah ash Shabiyah al Ishtirakiyah al UzmaCoin.

I hope you realize this is a comedy sketch. It's not meant to be serious.
What? You mean Conan wasn't being serious?  Cool

Pretty funny.

Like trying to explain the Internet to older people when I was younger.

The biggest critique? "Why are the letters green? What an ugly color." (referring to the ANSI coloring on the BBS I was on)
Exactly. It's like trying to explain the nature of emails in the early days.

That was quite funny actually and probably how a lot of people feel about it when they try to understand how it works.
Right? I can imagine viewers connecting with Conan's mock ignorance.

basically,

the public image of bitcoin:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's gone.
Judging by the comments on YouTube, many others interpret it the way you did.

Sounds like an enjoyable afternoon. Got to work now, but maybe I'll give it a try later on!
What do you mean? You haven't played your own game?  Cool

Another quick question for folks, how many of you guys actively use Twitter on your computers?
I have four Twitter accounts, used for different reasons. Use two of them daily, and the other two a couple of times a week.


Thinking of an incentive/referral program that uses Twitter, have you heard of anything like this?

Not really, man. I think the biggest obstacle lies in tracking conversions once you scale things up.
Have you considered ads?
You could test things out with Bidvertiser. They have a $20 coupon for new advertisers.
Also, if you have an account with NameCheap, you could redeem a Twitter ad voucher.





I am looking into advertising. I will be advertising on this forum beginning at the end of the week. We'll see how that goes. What I am really looking for is a game changing approach. I don't want to play "follow-the-leader". I want to do something earth shattering.

I understand. Wish I can help, but my experience with gambling/betting market is rather limited.
For what its worth, check out Pinterest. It is criminally underrated despite having the highest conversion rate among any social media platforms.
Also, explore FB. With the right set of keywords, the ROI could impressive. A client generated thousands of targeted traffic to his sportwear site at the cost of 3 cents/click.
