I think he may be but you never know. I'll bet 1 BTC he turns bad on my sale.

Who are you talking about/to with this response? It's very vague.
I think alex is for sure a scammer, but I don't know. and id be willing to bet 1 btc that he never comes through on the seal he had with me.

I'm not naïve, but until someone other then you says its a virus or wtv I cant be sure


Oh okay, that's what I thought you meant, just wanted to be sure (sounded like you were calling me a scammer lol)

The reward should trade places with difficulty so only a set number of coins are produced in the given period.

That's what's currently happening. The difficulty is no about difficulty, it's a ratio of the hashrate and block discovery time (difficulty = hashrate/(2⁴⁸ - 65535)), it ensures you only get x number of coins every 10 mins, re-evaluated every 2016 blocks.

You missed my point - I understand how the difficulty currently works - but if you swapped the 2 around instead of difficulty changing the reward does - end result same number of coins produced but you would still be able to mine solo.

The difficulty is causing the centralisation of the network nothing else.



HOw would you go about block halves? And getting to an end number?

I don't know to be honest - but I do know the difficulty is causing the centralisation of the network and this is the issue.
Centralisation is ... single places mining large hash rates ...
Difficulty is an effect not a cause.

I'm sorry, but comments like these seem so defeatist. Are you up for changing bitcoin if we find something that makes it more "fair" and decentralized (invulnerable to a rich group controlling all mining)?

I'm just talking about in the legal sense.

you dont' think laws should be in place regarding right to travel, restricting movement, etc.?

We're arguing different points from the exact same side it feels like. I'm not a libertard 420, I'm a rational thinker who understands flawed systems are in place due to flawed people and no matter what you do to change it, it will also be flawed, but that refreshing the systems with new updates ideas is essential and thus I follow all schools of thought I learn of, including libertarianism. The people here arguing that laws shouldn't exist, don't tread on me, blah blah blah are just more extremist/cultist/anarchist/libertarians who have never had their face punched in before by a total stranger and don't understand why some common sense measures in life are good.

I agree that speeding laws are flawed and dumb, but removing them doesn't solve anything. Education and training solves everything. In a decentralization obsessed community like ours (who ironically still uses a centralized and propaganda ridden forum), it behooves me why anyone would not understand that majority wins. Always. No one gives a shit about your rights, your abilities or your fairy dreams, because you're the minority. Try understanding the majority instead of fighting everything around you. Or do like I do and move to a country you can do what you want in.

deepbit.net/

i'm a total newbie. is this site not trustworthy?

Deepbit.net is a website that has their own system. They are not bitcoin, nor are they connected to this forum in any way other than the owner of that site is a user here on this site. If you withdrew funds from your account *there*, you may be waiting a while for their system to send it out. Could be minutes, could be hours. No one could possibly know except the admins of *that* site. This is not the support forum for *that* site.

I can ignore spam email all I want, it doesn't mean my gmail is going to be any less full of it at any given time.  I'm just tired of the same damn posts over and over about crapcoins that offer nothing new.  Half of them still have references to the coins they copied.  Yet everyone and their mom comments on the posts and keeps them on the front page.  Give me the power to do something for myself, and I'll do it, ffs.
If someone took 5 minutes to program a chrome extension with the ability to "ignore" threads, would that be good enough?

I enjoy posts about new coins and I like the way this forum is laid out. It says "Alternate cryptocurrencies" and that's exactly what you get. I'm not sure if the solution of "people who happen to be online in a short period of time get to vote on whether or not a coin is valid" is a good one, considering the value may not be realized until much later or simply by different people.

He already said it would. I think he would appreciate you doing it for him. Thanks!

This thread brings ignorance to a whole new level. Noobs who know nothing about withdrawal codes accusing me of malaware! Lmao. Run that file through any AV in the world it will come up clean. Its a .com file for fucks sake.

http://filext.com/file-extension/COM

Fail scammer is fail.

You joined a community of hackers and programmers and thought no one would know what a .com file is? Fool.

You're absolutely right, except when it comes to cases of spam (which are noise, and that's what the OP is proposing the alt-coin announcements are, completely spammy noise). Do you look through your whole spam folder one by one because "reading email is not a popularity contest"?

In fact it *is* a popularity contest, a contest for your attention. That is the whole point of spam (which is what OP is proposing the alt-coin announcements basically are). I don't know if I agree with him that they are spam in essence, but I doubt we'd miss anything if there weren't new coins created every week.

+1 to you, sir.  Spot on.

In my 2 years here I have seen this complaint over and over and over again. In light of Theymos taking the piss, I think it's time to make a new forum that handles this and other issues. brb making a forum.

It shows in my "Payments" tab, but when i click on the date, i go to blockexplorer.com/ and see

Error

No such transaction


And of course, i don't see the bitcoin in my android bitcoin wallet.

What is wrong?

I'll bite. What client/website did you use to make the transaction from?

Let's face it.  These damn fly-by-night new coin announcements are annoying as shit.  Not only are they crudding up the forums with spam and additional scammers, but they're hurting the overall cryptocoin ecosystem.  There are a lot of people that say, "but this coin does this different" or "it should stop after coin x, because the rest are shite."  I'm not going to lie, I mined some of them.  FC2 because it was the first time I was able to solo mine something and get full blocks.  I mined YAC too, and I think it's got something going for it, but not to the point where I'm dropping money on it.  But now there's vaginacoins and (insert country name here) coins, and fastcoins, and slowcoins, and who-gives-a-shit coins.  It's getting ridiculous.  We need to stop it.  So here's my proposal...

All new coins need to be voted on before they're allowed to be announced or released on this forum.  Whether that be by poll, or by a group of mods/cryptocoin leaders that are well respected and trusted.  If it gets a majority vote, it can be announced.  If it fails, it doesn't get the time of day in the forums.  If people try to post anyway, the post is deleted by a mod.  Fuck em.

I used to like hanging out in this subforum because I learned a lot about LTC and such.  Now I don't even want to look in here because of the 8,000 new coins posted everyday.

There are enough people here that are seriously getting tired of it.  So stand up and do something about it.
waaaa waaa you have 100 posts.  Your can't block people from announcing their coins.  Then what? you'll whine that it was pre-mined?

If this is what keeps you up at night, its time to get a life.

Don't knock it, maybe this is his life. Savior of the forums. It's fine if he's annoyed by something that he sees has no value. Bitcoiners annoy me because they see value in things that are useless to me personally, and I don't mind telling them to go fuck themselves when they try to conclude that that means I'm anti-bitcoin. That said, I too would be happy to be able to "ignore" threads. That'd be pimp.

Programming isn't a popularity contest. Exploration of new devices and implementations can only help cryptocurrency. If you want to ignore a post, you can. If the majority find it has no value, it will naturally fall to the bottom of this section and never be seen again. The forum platform works perfectly fine and there isn't any reason to bring another layer of complexity to this system which is not broken.

Unless I'm completely blind, where is the option to ignore entire threads.  I would gladly go through and self-regulate what I see.  Give me that option and I'd be happy.

I haven't been around forever, but I can tell you that this subforum went to shit right around the time feathercoin hit.  It was all downhill from there.

Even worse, when you respond to a thread and even delete said response out of disgust of being subscribed, IT STAYS ON YOUR LIST FOREVER. AHHHHHH I DONT CARE WHAT IMAGES ARE COUNTING TO 21 MILLION. WHY DID I POST...
113  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Alexander The Great Scamming with executable file. on: June 19, 2013, 09:40:58 PM
first off, I offered 50% escrow.
50% escrow is not escrow, but that is good that you're starting to trust people and understand why you can't be trusted!

second is my name Alexander the great?

You admitted to running a file by him that you said is a virus, so I figured it could be possible that it stole your password and he logged into your account. Who knows. That excuse has been used quite a lot around here for strange behavior.

First off, I ALWAYS offered 50% escrow.


second... I did not get as far as opening the link, I downloaded it, but deleted it right away.

I hope I don't need to throw out my laptop now.

it would be a shame but im willing to do it live!

Hehe, I thought you said you ran it, my bad. Just looking out for everyone. Search the forums for recent "oops my account posted something I didn't post" accusations. It's unbelievable how dumb scammers think we all are.

whoa whoa

but who should own the roads?

As it's always been, the people who paid for them. And the people who paid for them are the citizens, who elected officials to make rules in their name to make society safer. In otherwords, everything is working exactly as we (apparently) want. If you want to change that, start by voting people into office/power that plan to dismantle the government one generation at a time.

if someone owns all the roads around you does that mean they can tell you you're not allowed to leave your little area inside? because you'd have to cross their property. or else fly on a helicopter

As with the ancients who lived next to volcanoes, it's fight or flight. Pay attention to what's happening around you and where you live and be ready to leave in order to survive. When a bunch of gang members start blocking exits to a building, I will look for the few exits left open and use one. If they try to stop me when I'm leaving, fuck them. If they try to stop me while I continue to walk in and out of the building because I feel I have a "right to excercise my rights", fuck me. Pick and choose your battles gentlemen.
117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A solution to the crapcoin announcements on: June 19, 2013, 09:31:16 PM
onecoin twocoin redcoin bluecoin


Black coin, Blue coin, Old coin, New coin.
This one has a littlecar.
This one has a little star.
This one just wont go far!

and this one lowers the bar.

edit: I have a proposal for all the crapcoin announcements. Make them polls instead. If the are downvoted by the poll, they have to be deleted.

ohh yeah, he did the same to me

is it truly a virus, I moved all my coins out before opening it, I also logged out of all accounts except this one


Is that why you're asking people to buy your Avalons without escrow in 3 different threads?
