what seems to be the case.
intrinsin doesnt handle the swap, nor the funds, so he has nothing to do with it other than reporting figures from the exchange.

He tests the burn address from his own wallet rather than the exchange doing it, they take his word, he tells them when to burn the coins (instead of burning them as they come in), he tells them when to extend the exchange period because he bought more coins.

And he still holds 194 million coins from the premine.  
So he does handle the funds.

he doesnt handle the actual swap funds. only the premine.
the exchange handles the swap and burn. apparently to the parameters he defines.

the important part is, he didnt burn the coins. the exchange did.


Quote
digital credits dev doesn't handle any of the swap, it's all done by the exchange.
anything he might have reported is NOT from his own figures/calculations.

I've just shown mathematically that it IS from his own incorrect calculations, and different from what the exchange reported.  Since he refuses to clarify, where are you getting your information?

no you havent. you've just shown how the figures can add up.
- Did Intrinsin report the numbers? yes.
- Do the numbers match your mathematical calculations? yes.
- Does this mean that Intrinsin is personally responsible for the incorrect calculations?  no.

if you'd read all the previous posts (from those whom you're attacking) with emotional clarity you might have realised this yourself quite some time ago,
as is usually the way when two parties have serious problems in communications, previous assumptions brought to the discussion floor skew other's comments, (emotional involvement further skews perspective, and this "discussion" is totally warped with personal attacks).
so it seems that no-one actually specifically mentioned this because it seems obvious to them, so they were operating under the assumption it should be obvious to you,
BUT you were operating under a different set of assumptions that included much more personal involvement from Intrinsin, therefore you were never able to understand what was obvious to them.

here seems to be the gist ----
Intrinsin tells btcpool what to do, and sends them Digital Credits,
btcpool does everything and tells Intrinsin what happened,
Intrinsin shares this information, but presumably because the block chain fucked up, there are inconsistencies.
Then because you've been trolling so hard with serious emotional bullshit, no-one is telling you exactly what you want to hear and the figures have not been officially reported any differently,
the burn address IS the proof of burn and hence has the correct figure but you are too busy having a great time you continue to push people and act like an ignorant twat.

Barr_official has managed to alienate pretty much anyone who cares with his behaviour.
i assume anyone who cares enough is ignoring him and taking his posts as generally full of crap.

You left out the relevant fact that I banned you from our ANN for trolling.
So you don't really assume that everyone ignores me, since you yourself couldn’t stop responding to my every post until you were forcibly prevented from it.

And now you're suddenly interested in FindCoin, coincidentally giving you more chances to not ignore me.

bwahahaha, I LOVE YOU !!! MARRY ME AND WE'LL HAVE A FAMILY OF LITTLE TROLLS !!!
you banned me because you had difficulties accepting what i was saying, similar pattern to this discussion.


and i was further wrong, banzai is still replying too Cheesy

I wonder though.. Why are you so obsessed with Intristin's project? You talk more about DigitalCredits then your own coin man.. Just sayin...
You and him should just bury the fights and focus on your own projects..  Undecided This is beyond trolling each other...

You do seem un-healthily obsessed :/
I imagine you'll be continuing the feud with further made up stories and undeserved personal attacks until you die .. telling your Grandchildren about the great shit coin swap feud of 2016 ..

no idea as to whether your coins are still valid,
i know not whether there have been any blockchain shenanigans to disrupt them.

but yobit is an exchange for FIND.

have a look on http://findcoin.dcredits.com/index.php
to see what it reports for your address

what seems to be the case.
intrinsin doesnt handle the swap, nor the funds, so he has nothing to do with it other than reporting figures from the exchange.

the chain was fucked, that's obvious, even Barr_official seems to have accepted that.
the explorers mis reported, but they seem all to agree now.

i assume even barr_official can be convinced that  any discrepancy has nothing to do with digital credits dev,  
digital credits uses a totally different approach swap approach to Barr so he might be too caught up in his own seriousness to the extent where the obvious hasnt yet occurred to him.
it didnt occur to me until just then, i was also far too distracted by the obvious hysteria . lol .

digital credits dev doesn't handle any of the swap, it's all done by the exchange.
anything he might have reported is NOT from his own figures/calculations.

which does mean if barr_official does want to continue making a fool of himself he needs to perhaps calm down first and consider what he's talking about.

then perhaps he can formulate a useful approach to his attack Cheesy
perhaps with less hate and he might get a useful answer.

Barr_official has managed to alienate pretty much anyone who cares with his behaviour.
i assume anyone who cares enough is ignoring him and taking his posts as generally full of crap.

however he does raise a seemingly valid point regarding the discrepancy in burn figures.

as this does seem to be an issue, i am hoping to be a calm voice asking intrinsin if he can look at the figures and see what he can see.


The January Burn has ended. 449,479 FIND coins have been burned

edit.
both the dcredits and multifaucets explorers are on the same chain now.
also yobit is on the same block height, so one assumes that there is only one official chain now which is the one with the burn.
1186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin blockchain experts - can anyone explain this semi-missing transaction? on: February 06, 2016, 07:42:57 AM
lol
such time spent on trolling a shit coin.

results seem to be

a) a fork results in transactions not showing up on a different fork.
ie two explorers can show different results.

good job on that one. we salute runpaint for his hard work in exposing this fact.

b) barr_official is obsessed with his enemy DGCS, and is not afraid of making shit up and attacking the honesty of others.

also good job. your troll level is mighty and you will be revered for generations by all shit coin swap devotees. not only did you manage to attack the integrity of intrinsin but also many others running the explorer and exchange.

c) there does seem to be a discrepancy between amount claimed and amount shown on explorer
"449,479 FIND coins have been burned"
vs
324789.4 shown at http://findcoin.dcredits.com/search.php?id=FVCryptoLifeDotNetBurnAddrXXcBdXmn
see below for more conclusions

and a further good job. it's just  a shame that you had to spend so much time and make up so much obvious falsities to get to one final seemingly legitimate point. (edit however the implications seem much milder than you continue to troll, i blame the fact that no-one seems to have spelt out the answer IN SIMPLE ENOUGH LANGUAGE (see below)).
although if you had done a simpler and clearer job you would have lost the troll level awarded in b),
but you might have actually received an answer. i guess it's up to you whether you'd prefer getting an answer, or prefer attacking peoples integrity mercilessly with little regard to facts.

lol A+ on everything. except for presentation, total #fail on presentation.


personally, if i was intrinsin i would totally ignore (or troll) barr_official, who has shown himself/herself to be a right annoying twat.
anyone who is unsure of Barr_official's personality, then please read his mounting hysteria and general rudeness/personal attacks on the find thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=905226.msg13720149#msg13720149

this awesome behaviour seems to have been going on since DGCS was released? and that post above is far from the beginning.
from my perspective it seems to stem from the fact that BARR is the best thing ever to hit the shitcoin market, and that DGCS is an impostor and must die.

disclosure : barr_official also seems to despise me (and is quite happy to make stuff up attacking my integrity) for suggesting that we use remaining distribution Bumba as a shitcoin swap for Barr. and i am quite happy to troll him as he has shown himself to be quite rude Cheesy
i also suggested he disclose all his private dealings with Barr as he is using undisclosed personal funds which results in an opaque distribution of Barr to himself. it seems possible he owns the vast majority of distributed Barr but that is an unknown reality.



edit :
and bonus points for getting them to re-sync the explorer, another game changing moment. well done


edit edit :
in regards to c)
later consideration and conclusions ----
it seems that any figures as reported to the swap were from the exchange, as the Digital Credits dev doesnt handle the swap coins at all.

it should be obvious to anyone, that Intrinsin is only responsible for not updating his figures after the dust cleared from the blockchain chaos.
it's obvious then that the burn figures for Find are as reported on the blockchain.
 ie 324789.4
as to the distribution figures for DGCS, either they are the same as previously reported or different Cheesy

the exchange is responsible for the swap funds, so it seems quite reasonable that the figure quoted is real, with the problems relating to FIND and the blockchain issues.
also it seems that no funds can be missing unless the exchange itself has done something, which seems quite unlikely Smiley

Lots of coins moving around in the number 1 account.  Hopefully none to any exchanges !

yeah dev is moving his coins around for the fork

Yeah hopefully thats what is going on.  Unfortunately, we do not know the addresses of the exchanges. 

that is one of the missing features on the explorer Smiley
will have to mention to Presstab, see if he can put some sort of taint detecting wallet conglomeration thingy.

don't forget the fork doesnt take place for more than a month.
i imagine it's got more to do with obfuscating the coins.
1188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: DigiCube C-CEX MERCHANT ANDROID StakeStick Smart TV Staker on: February 05, 2016, 01:55:28 AM
I take it, spamming bumbacoin is how you got Hero status. How tacky.
totally apparently ;p
but hey atleast his own thread alerted me to the fact that he dumped bumbacoin then tried saying it was a joke coin (admittedly) so that's good to know ahha
anyways, looking forward to cube's fork, should leave a nice supply around 1.5 mil maybe less to go on Wink


i guess you must actually be referring to the thread where the only mention of such is from Barr_dev, whom i quote with no modification.
(Barr_dev/runpaint also hasn't revealed what level of distribution manipulation has resulted from their methods)

tip of the day : if someone quotes someone else, the someone is merely repeating someone else and not creating useful information nor confirming someone elses lies Smiley
for example, i quoted you "looking forward to cube's fork", meanwhile i'm not actually looking forward to cube's fork, nor do i have an opinion on your excitement, but am merely repeating the idea that you are looking forward to cube's fork.
so, when i quote you suggesting i dumped Bumbacoin etc, i'm not agreeing with you, nor confirming what you say, i'm merely using the quotation as a pointer for my rejoinder. lol
not even when i personally used the term "i dumped Bumbacoin" above and in direct conversation am i usefully conversing about the idea, but instead i am actually conversing about your mis perception. i am conversing about the idea that you have an idea, not your idea but my idea. so my idea is paramount in the conversation and your idea is not actually being discussed.

i hope that simple logic lesson clears that up

but you're right, i should really stop trolling, it doesnt seem to serve any useful purpose Cheesy
there's already enough discussion about spots and cube to fill anyones wet dream.

I would like also to comment to the speech by #crysx (it would be unfair to leave such a long and passionate speech unanswered Smiley).

Guys, as to me I don't pretend to take place in dev team, and I have/had absolutely no intention "to push anyone aside". Yes, I am a developer, but in very different field, and I'm pretty busy with writing/tweaking kernel drivers at my main job, and I have no need to squeeze myself into the projects which already have owners Smiley

If the Dev team is defined and consists of 3 people mentioned, I am more than happy. Get your act together and involve us as community members, if/when you need it.

hear hear, chrysophlax for president !!

We have already taken the corrective actions on our side in regards to the accounts we investigated.  We are taking no more action.
richie@bittrex

Sorry, the part related to "corrective actions being taken" doesn't seem to be true. Or maybe those actions involved just something like a "friendly warning" email to the thief, but nothing more.

Here is why I tell so:
The deposit address 64MQK84f8gp8MEzxbdMebWJhpKRist7XK2, which was used by the thief on Jan 15, was used again on Jan 29!!!
See https://chainz.cryptoid.info/drzold/address.dws?16233.htm.

Deposit address in Bittrex belongs to one single account, right? I understand the coins kept at those addresses may not belong to the account holder as soon as he sold coins, but the address can be used for deposit only by single person. And we see that this address was used for deposit 2 weeks after you were informed about this account belonging to the thief.
That means the account tied to that address was NOT locked (and supposedly no corrective actions were performed).

I am disappointed by Bittrex. Was much better opinion on your business before. Sure you don't care. you're "big". yet.

they cant lock that address, they can only lock the account linked to that address.
if i had any drz2 i could send them to that address and teh blockchains would do what i asked.

what this does imply though, is that those coins are locked by bittrex freezing the account.


while it may appear that bittrex are not doing much, i cant see how they can have done much more than they have.
locking the account and doing some further investigations on their end.

but it does seem that it would be good to find out from them if it is the case that this 200k is locked up

edit
also any withdrawls from that address have nothing necessarily to do with that account,
upon deposit , the funds are pooled in such a way, that anyone withdrawing from bittrex, may end up with funds from that account.

what is Total number of coins to be mined SPOT?Huh?

with 2000% interest ?
the only limit is when the code breaks from dealing with too long a string of digits.


edit.
bitcoins halving protocol effectively defines a max coin supply as the ever dwindling rewards will take it closer and closer but never reach 21million.

cubes reward is constant though, so it will continue to increase until the code base it uses is no longer capable of dealing with the coin supply length.
Cheesy no idea what the theoretical max supply supported by the code is, and no idea when it might reach that point,
1 year, 3 years, 5 years,15 years Huh no idea
1192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BARR dev does not appreciate humour. on: February 04, 2016, 05:07:10 PM

we here at bumbacoin thnk that using our remaining Bumba to burn/swap for Barr would be a fine thing to do,
(for those who dont know, Barr is distributed by burning shitcoins for Barr)

upon suggesting this in the barr thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1219460.msg13763615#msg13763615

the Barr dev, quickly escalated our conversation.
he is impressively rude with a short politeness window  Smiley quickly loses normal social conventions.
which is generally true about most online interactions and bitcointalk in general. lol
.

his general outrage that we could suggset such a thing, led me to unsuccesfully attempt to point out that there is nothing inherently special about Barr that prevent us from burning Barr for Bumbacoin. nor for that matter anything preventing any shitcoin from doing exaclty the same thing Barr is doing.
(he is very satisfied about teh pure genuis that is Barr and seems quite touchy)

i began to focus on two seperate things,which he doesnt seem to appreciate about the nature of Barr.
both of which have some level of importance in my view.

1. the burn process is not trustless.

you could dump any amount of Barr you wanted at any time.
No, that's you and your hidden premine.  Again, we're not like Bumbacoin.

Our transparent accountability is trustless, because anyone can see exactly where every single BARR goes on the NXT blockchain in real-time.  

obviously mistaking his honesty for a trustless situation.

2. the continued injection of funds from the Barr team, creates a manipulated value.
leading to an untrusted situation where there is no transparency regarding Barr actions


If we can buy 30% of the total supply at 100 sats, it's probably not worth it to start paying 200 sats.  Or if our entire buywall at 100 always gets filled in 5 minutes and we're running out of money, we'll try buying at 50.  If our order sits at 50 for 2 days and nobody sells, maybe we'll try 75.

Basically we just try to buy as many coins as we can with the limited BTC we have.

And then other people buy too, and burn their coins for BARR.

Last month we tried doing it differently, putting up a buywall for BARR, letting other people buy the altcoins, and then they could burn them and sell their BARR on a more liquid market.  It definitely resulted in huge trade volume for BARR, but we could've burned more altcoins the usual way.  

But mostly from my own pocket.  I've been spending at least $1000 a month of my own money, and that comes from my day job.  So far I haven't sold any BARR, and we're not making any money from altcoins either because we burn them all.  

it's very simple.
if they purely swapped Barr for shitcoin, there would be no artifical price manipulations from their end.
but as they are actively injecting funds into the process, there is artificial price manipulations from their end.

of course there may still be artificial manipulations, but the point is that they are inadvertently doing so.

.
meanwhile runpaint/barr_dev continues to make big things about their honestly and transparency whilst not keeping either their thread opening posts up to date or website up to date
both lacking current information  on all swaps.

also not realising their active purchasing shitcoin/Barr creates an area open to manipulation which, if they are so gung ho about their open-ness and honesty, should be best treated with transparency about their actions.

at this point, they could own 90% of all "distributed" BARR and no-one would know. (they do already own the vast majority of total coins as the burn fund)

.
none of these things are necessary problems, they could own 100% of Barr for all i care, as long as they are transparent.
involving their personal funds in such a coin/venture gives rise to potential fraudulent activity as long as they are not transparent.



..
here follows some rudeness Cheesy
- attacking my honesty
You came here to talk trash, and now you're upset because of the simple facts.

Like I said, we'll ask your advice when we want to be like Bumbacoin.

But you assume we're already like Bumbacoin, so it confuses and frustrates you that we do things honestly instead of the way you do things.



- lol. hidden premine, such a low blow
you could dump any amount of Barr you wanted at any time.

No, that's you and your hidden premine.  Again, we're not like Bumbacoin.

Our transparent accountability is trustless, because anyone can see exactly where every single BARR goes on the NXT blockchain in real-time.  



- oh my poor integrity
Quote
lol Bumba was never meant to be anything more than a shitcoin so go figure.

Then stop selling it to the public for real money.

Again, you're confused because you think everyone else runs their coins like you do.

You see your coin as a way to take people's money and then tell them it was just a joke.  That's not what we're doing.


You're a liar, and a waste of time.  You showed up with fud and passive-aggressive insults from your first post.

I tried responding politely, but you weren't interested in an honest conversation because you're just here to cause trouble.  

So I responded with facts to refute everything you said, and now you're whining like a baby about rudeness.  I'm not the one who showed up to someone else's thread and started spamming bullshit.  That's you, and once again you can't seem to tell the difference between yourself and other people.

- i didnt lie once, and he continued to make direct comments about my integrity, and other continued underhand rudeness. in other words, he continued to lie.

i'm just over all impressed with his self righteous indignation.
and while i'm all passive agressive and baby whiney, he is jsut outright snide and rude.

strange how someone can take being called rude as whiney.



edit.
i wonder if they will truly ever burn a dead coin?
how can you make a buy wall on a dead coin?






============================================================






just because i do like a good conversation.
-edit
apparently after reading this it is possible to get the impression bumbacoin dumped a bumbacoin premine?
not sure how that is possible to get that impression as it is purely the barr dev making stuff up, but i guess that's the price you pay when you troll. passionate emotions etc make it hard to keep a good logic in place.

There has never been any Bumbacoin Premine dumped.
I hope that clears that up Smiley





why are you burning coins with active devs ?

bowscoin dev posted on the 24th jan.
actively advertising goods for bowscoin.

just weird how you're promoting the death of shitcoins as a good thing, when you're working on a coin which is obviously alive and seems to have more going for it than BARR
ie you can use it to purchase real world goods.


edit.
lol please burn BUMBA. 20 million coins is obviously far too many in this day of shitcoin bloat

Dead coins are already dead.  When a coin is still actively traded, we can help the people whose money is in that coin.

i'm considering offering to burn BARR for Bumba, i will have to look at teh figures and see what sort of ratio i can offer.



i'm considering offering to burn BARR for Bumba, i will have to look at teh figures and see what sort of ratio i can offer.


How many Bumba do you have?

When we offer a coin for burn redemption, we have enough funds allocated to swap the entire coin supply of that coin.

So if you're going to do it that way, you'll need enough Bumba in your personal wallet to replace about 100,000 BARR in circulation.  At current market rates, it would take over 30 million Bumba to swap 100,000 BARR.  Of course there isn't that much Bumba in existence, even if you owned the entire supply.  But you could offer a rate less than the market.

Bumba's around 35 satoshis, but let's estimate it at 100 satoshis.  BARR is trading at 11,000 satoshis, although there's nobody selling that low.  But let's round it way down and call it 2000 satoshis.

So if you estimate Bumba at 3 times more than the market rate and BARR at 5 times less than the market rate, you can offer 20 Bumba for every 1 BARR burned.  Then you'll only need 2 million Bumba.

But if you give away 2 million of your own Bumba, it doesn't really accomplish anything different from just giving it away and not burning anything.  BARR is only issued when altcoins are burned, so that's our method of mining.  So when someone burns altcoins, they're creating new BARR.  There's not really a reason to do it for a PoW coin.

hmm, well i'm not really interested in swapping the whole shebang of BARR. as amusing as that would be.
there is a quantity of the BUMBA premine that is still targeted for distribution. issuing those coins as swap/burn coins would be highly entertaining.

swapping Bumba for Barr could help strengthen both currencies apparently.

i have swapped names form this excerpt from your OP ..
  – If BUMBA offers an exchange for BARR and the BARR supply is only partially destroyed, then BUMBA and BARR can both benefit.  BUMBA can gain users and adopt the value of the absorbed coins which were burned, while BARR can continue with a higher value.

seems like a win win Cheesy


edit.
although i believe you have a stupendous amount of BARR in the burn fund, that even if we did burn the entier current circulated quantity of BARR, you would attempt to keep issuing BARR until some time next century?



hmm, well i'm not really interested in swapping the whole shebang of BARR.


Obviously.  

In the figures above showing how you could afford to swap for BARR, I accidentally said 100,000 BARR when I meant 1,000,000.  That's my bad, sorry.

So it turns out you couldn't afford it with even with 100% of all Bumbacoins in existence, even if the price of Bumba went up 1,000%.




Quote
as amusing as that would be.


Agreed, since it could never happen.

If you take a true statement and replace the most important word with something completely different, the statement might not be true anymore.
The most important word in the original statement was "BARR", but you've changed it to "BUMBA" which is completely different.
I guess it still applies because you said "if", but then it's just a hypothetical scenario that could never happen.

See, when BARR talks about burning an altcoin, thousands of dollars get spent and lots of coins get burned.
When Bumba talks about burning something, it's "amusing".  
So it's not quite the same thing, no matter which words you swap.

Just quoting our statements and inserting your coin's name doesn't mean anything.
BARR has actually made those statements reality, on 8 different blockchains and with $30,000 worth of coins.
Bumba has not done that, and was not designed for that purpose.




Besides, we've already burned over 230,000 BARR ourselves, which is more than you could afford with 100% of all Bumbacoins.
Of course we had a reason to burn them, and we did it in a way that made sense.  
We sent BARR back to the burn fund so it can be recycled and must be earned again with burned altcoins before it can go back into circulation.

But if you want to burn a few hundred BARR to go with the hundreds of thousands we've already burned, go ahead.  If you buy them or earn them, they're yours to do with as you please.

edit.
although i believe you have a stupendous amount of BARR in the burn fund, that even if we did burn the entier current circulated quantity of BARR, you would attempt to keep issuing BARR until some time next century?


If we burned 100% of Bumbacoins, would you attempt to keep mining blocks and generating new coins with PoW?

But yes, BARR can continue for 100 years.  




In the figures above showing how you could afford to swap for BARR, I accidentally said 100,000 BARR when I meant 1,000,000.  That's my bad, sorry.

in the OP
BARR – 230,356 coins burned out of 780,856 in circulation  = 29% (self-burned BARR, sent back to the burnfund)

only 550,000 in circulation?

swapping Bumba for Barr could help strengthen both currencies apparently.

of course it's exactly the same thing, it's still true

There is nothing uniquely special about BARR other than it's particular origin (from you) and it's name (BARR).

i could make a shitcoin, SWAP, and offer exactly the same services and that statement would be true.
or i could put aside a portion of Bumba (or create more Bumba) and set up the same protocol

it does strike me as amusing that in the process of burning shitcoins, you are quite happy to strengthen two coins in the process. no worry about reducing the amount of shitcoins in existence, just make them stronger.

But yes, BARR can continue for 100 years.  

if i wanted to regularly invest several thousand dollars of my own money i could inflate the price of BUMBA to a point where we could swallow BARR. however at this point i dont really see any use as you will continue to pump out BARR for the forseeable future.

i could however continue to artificially inflate the value of BUMBA, whilst creating a protocol where through a similar release/halving system we could continue to burn BARR for the next 100 years.
(if necessary we could artificially create another million or so BUMBA for this purpose as well)

any artificial protocol is easy to copy. it's just a matter of doing it.

first of all create an artificial pump for BUMBA through injecting funds,
swap coins,
repeat regularly.

(it does make me consider the NEXUS swap model would be more useful here, as dumping BARR on the market place would help the process by continuing to de-value BARR (rather than strengthening BARR) and also convert them back into more buy support for BUMBA.)

that could result in a competition of who could artificially inflate their coin value the most, reminding me of the american political system where there is a corrupt system of waste taking place to see who can waste the most human resources.
haha although the competition would end with the strengthening of both BARR and BUMBA.

although tbh, strengthening is not necessarily true.
reducing coin supply, while increasing price .. inversely proportional and all that.
does increase value for some coin holders though Cheesy

--

i'm not that averse to Barr swapping coins, nor Digital Credits swapping coins, nor Nexus swapping coins, nor any other coin swapping system that may happen.
i'm not that averse to you continue to investing your own cash to inflate values to a point where it becomes useful to swap.

i agree that swallowing coin systems may create a stronger coin system,
i am quite amused that you have a system, that through the artificial injection of personal funds you can strengthen both shitcoins at the same time Smiley

i would like to point out that creating manipulated economic models does not make Barr an automatic success.
anyone can create an arbitrary value for any shitcoin by putting money in, that's how a PnD works,

the real value of Barr will be revealed in the future.
i wish you luck with your coin strengthening Cheesy

and if anyone wants to swap Barr for Bumba, send me a pm and we'll work something out Wink

-
edit if there is any consideration of ever swapping bumba, i will do anything useful towards it.
ie not dumping the remains of the premine Wink as they enjoy the same artificially valueless state of the Barr burnfund

only 550,000 in circulation?


Those are old figures, there are 993,343 in circulation.

If BARR's ideas are so "amusing", why are you now attempting to copy those ideas?

You can't even give your coins away for free over a period of several months, but now you're offering them as a swap for other coins?


All you're really saying is "So what, BumbaCoin would be just as good as BARR if $30,000 had been invested in BumbaCoins."

of course it can be arbitrary,
lets pretend i want to increase bumba's value to a similar market cap of Barr.

i pick the arbitrary value, then i put the appropriate amount of resources into Bumba to reach that arbitrary value

i'm not saying that anyone decided to make Barr valued at 1100 sats (or whatever), i'm saying anyone can create an arbitrary value for a shit coin.
i'ts basic economics
if supply/demand create price, then manipulating supply/demand will effect price.

you're working with an artificially inflated system by arbitrarily injecting funds into the process. this is no different to selling things in a market place for bumba.
but it creates an artificial supply/demand cycle.

it's amusing how happy you are about the easily manipulatable system you're working with/ created. and how you think the outcome actually proves some sort of real value.

you havent even bothered working with a truly trustable system. you could dump any amount of Barr you wanted at any time.
i've never really looked at Next or Assets so I dont know, but with Bumba for example, it would be simple to code in a timestamp to lock fund from being accessed until that timestamp is reached.

also, you might want to keep up with your "transparency".
the opening posts in this thread are not up to date, nor is http://barr.me

lol Bumba was never meant to be anything more than a shitcoin so go figure. crypto is fun Cheesy

you're just making up amusingly outrageous crap now. lol

the only things you're doing wrong is getting outraged that i dont care how awesome Barr is, and also that you're not accepting that i could swap Bumba for Barr in exactly the same manner your doing. as could any other person ..

for whatever reasons, we gave away a couple of million bumba, and have a couple of million left.
obviously giving them away is not necessarily healthy for a coin, or perhaps you'd be doing the same Wink
how we give them away is completely arbitrary. doing a swap for another shitcoin is just another possibility. and if you cant see the humour in swapping them for Barr you should.


that said,
i was interested in getting some "gifts" for bowscoin and ended up catching a few dumps before the price pumped.
i'll watch with interest how the pump goes and where your buy walls end up Wink
perhaps it would be in my best interest to invest further funds into pumping bowscoin further Wink after all, it would be foolish of me not to enjoy such an easily manipulatable system to it's best affect.





lol.
i came on to ask why you were burning a coin with an active dev (Bowscoin), you said you'd been chatting with said dev, i said great.

then i said, maybe i could swap Bumba for Barr because we have some spare and need to give them away,
this evolves into you taking personal affront at me telling you how to operate Barr? then making outrageously untrue (and hurtful *sniff*) comments about bumba.

how to escalate an innocent discussion woot Cheesy




You came here to talk trash, and now you're upset because of the simple facts.

Like I said, we'll ask your advice when we want to be like Bumbacoin.

But you assume we're already like Bumbacoin, so it confuses and frustrates you that we do things honestly instead of the way you do things.




you havent even bothered working with a truly trustable system.

No, that's you and your hidden premine.  Again, we're not like Bumbacoin.

lol. it's not trustless. trustless is where no-one needs to trust you.
i assumed you would know that seeing how pedantic you are about the difference between trustable and trustless.

your system is not trustless because there's nothing to stop you from moving coins and dumping even if everyone can see them.
"oh look, there's a big dump from the burn fund, i can see it on the blockchain. fancy that."

your record keeping is not up to date, neither this thread is being kept current, nor the website,
so no-one can tell how trustworthy your records of your swaps have been (not that a simple record of coins moving in the chain is any indication of what actually happened in the swap).


it's great that you are apparently doing things honestly,
no idea why you think you should attack my honesty though? hidden premine. lol

honesty in this situation should also entail complete open ness about your own purchases of Barr.

you are the central overseer,
you are injecting personal funds into your own public project,
you are openly manipulating the market (through injecting funds - again, nothing wrong with that at all as long as you are open),
you should be completely transparent about your actions.

i guess we should all take them off the market because apparently no-one should be trading shitcoins.

that just shows how confused you are, do you even know what a shitcoin is? shall i list a few for you ?
Dash, Doge, Bumba, Barr. shitcoins are everywhere bae.

lol at your claim I'm trying to take peoples money? haha that's why Bumba is such an awesome shitcoin.

you are just rude.

your politeness is sorely lacking. and i would rather just directly call you rude than make unjustified claims about your integrity.

i'm not even attacking you or the coin, nor spreading fud,

the 2nd post contains my original post, followed by copy/paste chat from Barr thread. mainly for lols Cheesy

my personal opinion is that runpaint is not a scam dev.
he seems to be operating from naive principles. and is quite respectable at trolling which unfortunately relies too heavily on personal abuse which quickly alienates other parties resulting in fairly one sided conversations as others leave and he remains ...

...…

this contains information obtained prior to the Feb Bowscoin swap.


BARR is a Next Asset shitcoin, it has a distribution model based on burning shitcoins for BARR, also incorporating a burning BARR for OFFS. Seems a good idea.
ANN date October 25, 2015. Launch date November 1, 2015

It seems from a brief analysis, the swaps that have occurred, have been inadvertently heavily skewed in favour of the dev team,
with a vote process seemingly controlled entirely by runpaint, and early coins were publically claimed to be bagheld by runpaint.
Runpaint seems to currently hold at least ~61% of all distributed BARR, and ~60% of OFFS , (this figure prior to BSC swap in February)
1. which NXT accounts holding Barr/Offs do you or other team members own?
Most of them.  What is the point of that question?  

There's no way to hide BARR, because one click shows every account that holds it.

There's no way to hide how it was distributed, because another click shows every transaction that's ever been sent from the burn fund, and every transaction has a message attached showing which altcoins were burned to earn that BARR, as well as the altcoin txid going to the burn address.

many of the addresses are not labelled, the 61% figure above was determined by some digging around and is not publicly accessible knowledge that the addresses necessarily belong to run paint. it is based on three labelled addresses.

Quote
There will be no IPO, no ICO, no Pre-Sale, and no funds set aside for the devs.  BARR is only distributed to people who burn their altcoins - We distribute it for free, but no one can get it for free.

coins burned

November 1 - 30 2015 : Fractalcoin (FRAC), Keycoin (KEY), Sapience (XAI), BARR
December 1 - 30 2015 : Anarchists Prime (ACP), Lyrabar (LYB), BARR
January 1 - 30 2016    : Bunnycoin (BUN), Unitus (UIS)
February 1-29 2016 : Bowscoin (BSC)

Barr seems openly an opportunity for those involved to divest their shitcoins while attempting to pump a new shitcoin.
Not necessarily a bad thing of course.

As you noticed, I have been involved in our 3 launch coins for a while, but not as a developer.  I started out as an altcoin daytrader, and I ended up holding some coins that not many other people wanted to buy.  That includes Fractalcoin, Keycoin, and Sapience, although "coins that not many people want to buy" describes over a thousand altcoins.  Probably 99% of all altcoins.

I think he's saying that we're only pretending to have a big list of coins, but we "secretly" chose the ones we already hold.

Not so secretly. Quite openly and deliberately.
As seems reasonably fair, it can be appropriate to give the dev team a house edge. A reason to invest time and money as it were. Some coins might issues a premine for this reason.

fair enough- however I might add another angle, and that is that of course people taking the initiative have got the edge.
idea, initiative, risk- get rewarded.

I don't even see it as an edge or advantage for us.  I hold these coins, but so do a lot of other people, and we're just exchanging them for another coin.  

runpaint seems to make some economically naive claims.
no advantage in pre-holding the shitcoins chosen? no advantage in choosing the list? no advantage in setting the swap price after a period of private trading?

it certainly seems that the process so far has been heavily weighted,
that has so far resulted in ~61% ownership of all distributed coin supply?




coin voting
The voting system has shown no outside influence, resulting in total coin choice by runpaint.

To vote for an altcoin to be accepted during the next burn period, send BARR to the Market Fund and include a message with the transaction naming the coin or coins you are voting for (don't encrypt the message).  1 BARR equals 1 vote.

here's the market fund address showing the full apparently voting history
https://www.mynxt.info/account/18396052473200615062

november 15. vote by runpaint. 1 vote for ACP, and 1 vote for LYB as Wild Card
december 6.   vote by runpaint. 50 votes for Bunnycoin, 50 votes for Unitus as Wild Card
december 13. vote by runpaint. 1950 votes for Bunnycoin 1950 votes for Unitus 50 votes for Cetuscoin 50 votes for Chaincoin
jan 14.           vote by runpaint. 10000 Votes for Bowscoin

future votes maybe interesting as anyone owning 61% of a coin certainly seems to have an advantage .


how much of total distribution of Barr does runpaint or Barr team own

0 that we didn't pay for.  
We buy altcoins from other people, with real money, and we burn those altcoins.

lifting runpaints seeming ownership of barr to ~61% of total coins distributed.
so far ..

..

points to ponder,
100% of the coin swap list has been chosen by runpaint.
that person seemingly owns ~61% of BARR   and  ~60% of OFFS

that person,as well as admitting bagholding various coins also registered this address suggesting he bagheld lyrabar as well.

that same person has been in communication with Bowscoin dev for several months
We've been talking to BowsCoin Dev about burning BowsCoin since last October.  He has never objected in the past 4 months.

the swap ratio's are set by Barr, earlier coin ratio attempted to mirror a real world swap value, but those values were heavily skewed through a pump process.
Bun was declared at a higher value, attempting to encourage pump behaviour.
The resulting higher price creates a more favourable ratio for swappers, another crafted advantage.

a stated attention is to lift the "difficulty" and aim for higher value coins, this will have the advantage of reducing the amount of Barr needed for each swap.
similar to a POS halving regime, the early swappers get higher rewards and the later swappers get lower. this will help maintain the serious imbalance in coin distribution.

will Barr's future voting list closely mirror runpaints prior activities on coin threads?

how much BTC have they invested in pumping these coins, not just to enhance their swap ratio's but also to enhance Barr's "real" value.

.
when they account for their burns, they also seem to use naive market value approximations.

We have burned 2,000,000 BSC, which is over 37% of the supply, with a current value of approximately $3200.

the then current price on c-cex was 400 sats or so.
the buy book had a 0.0001 btc buy order at 400 sats, with the next order at 200,
and a total buy support of 0.31 btc down to 1 sat.

using a market valuation based on current price is easily manipulatable, and does not seem highly useful for a coin with no support.

amusing quotes -

One BARR appears to be worth 0.00002834BTC at this point in time and there are 10,000,000 BARRs out there
Incorrect.  Where did you get that figure?  BARR is at 3.3 NXT, so it's more like .00009000 BTC.

And there are 0 BARRs currently out there in circulation, with a maximum of 1,500,000 issued by the end of the first exchange period, if we burn 100% of the supplies of KEY, FRAC, and XAI.

yep, 0 Barrs in circulation trading for 3.3 NXT

--

-sigh-
Fractalcoin wallet now rescanning.  I sent 2 smaller transactions, but then I broke it by sending one too big.  

The fact that these things barely work is an excellent example of why we're doing this project.

on his thread, vs trolling DGCS dev

If you plan to transfer more the 100,000 coins I suggest you break it up into smaller amounts and do it in several transactions. Now sure how much the block chain can handle

Yeah those block chains can only handle so many bytes, keeping it under 100,000 will save 1 byte so that's good advice

--

I was looking at data of XAI, KEY, FRAC markets and it appears that on Nov. 1st all of these markets experienced price increases due to people buying these coins for redeeming for BARR.

That is part of our stated purpose.  The only way to earn new BARR is to burn the accepted altcoins during each burn period, so we have to support the price of these altcoins in order to support the price of BARR.  

when you want to buy shitcoins to burn you want to pump them first.
with the stated intention of making it more attractive for bagholders to burn,
whilst also enhancing swap ratios for everyone. especially bagholders

--

other accusations of foul play
You bought them outside of the exchange period and outside the exchange price, which is trade as usual. How do we not know you are collecting them at the current exchange price and using the pre pumped coins to profit off barr invesotrs/ almost buying 3:1 barr with your pre purchased ACP


There is no "buy period".  We exchanged them within the exchange period.

Quote
and outside the exchange price

There is no "exchange price", other than 1 BARR for 20 ACP.  That is our rate, and it doesn't matter if you mined your ACP, bought it low, bought it high, or got it for free.  None of that is any of our business.  We exchange ACP.

They started buying. Then set a coin swap ratio after some privately transacted purchasing had been going on - obviously if there stated intentions is to raise the price, there is a certain amount of coins bought below the set ratio.
Just another bit of "how to get moar coinz for free"? or  "none of our business, none of your business"?

Quote
and using the pre pumped coins to profit off barr invesotrs/ almost buying 3:1 barr with your pre purchased ACP

That's not how it works, and you don't seem to know what you're talking about.  

buying under 600 sats gives them a higher swap ratio.
any pump action inadvertently gives them a chance to pick up cheap coins and swap for a better ratio.
possibly they are changing the process? assumedly to positively enhance Barr.




--

But they are wrong;  it's not a zero-sum game.  Capital can be destroyed.  People are pumping money into cryptocurrency, and that money isn't guaranteed to continue existing in any form.  Altcoins die, and there is less money available in the world.  More specifically, there is less money available in the crypto world.  

but strangely owning 61% of an alt makes it worth as much as it's latest trade. market capitalizations based on latest trade info doesn't' seem particularly useful in the case of 99% of all crypto shitcoins where a minor dump can diminish their price considerably.

--

The voting is over for January, and the winners are Bunnycoin and Unitus as a Wild Card.

well done runpaint, the single vote cast by you was a decisive blow.

You came here to talk trash, and now you're upset because of the simple facts.

Like I said, we'll ask your advice when we want to be like Bumbacoin.

But you assume we're already like Bumbacoin, so it confuses and frustrates you that we do things honestly instead of the way you do things.

trash?
i haven't come here to talk trash. you're just seeing trash where' there's no trash to see.

there you go making outrageous claims again, now about my honesty? lol

you're the only one who's talking trash here, i havent made one single unjustified comment.
where as they are piling up from your end.


you havent even bothered working with a truly trustable system.

Are you trying to say "trustless"?  Those are two different things.

Quote
you could dump any amount of Barr you wanted at any time.

No, that's you and your hidden premine.  Again, we're not like Bumbacoin.

Our transparent accountability is trustless, because anyone can see exactly where every single BARR goes on the NXT blockchain in real-time.  


lol. it's not trustless. trustless is where no-one needs to trust you.
i assumed you would know that seeing how pedantic you are about the difference between trustable and trustless.

your system is not trustless because there's nothing to stop you from moving coins and dumping even if everyone can see them.
"oh look, there's a big dump from the burn fund, i can see it on the blockchain. fancy that."

your record keeping is not up to date, neither this thread is being kept current, nor the website,
so no-one can tell how trustworthy your records of your swaps have been (not that a simple record of coins moving in the chain is any indication of what actually happened in the swap).


it's great that you are apparently doing things honestly,
no idea why you think you should attack my honesty though? hidden premine. lol

honesty in this situation should also entail complete open ness about your own purchases of Barr.

you are the central overseer,
you are injecting personal funds into your own public project,
you are openly manipulating the market (through injecting funds - again, nothing wrong with that at all as long as you are open),
you should be completely transparent about your actions.

Quote
lol Bumba was never meant to be anything more than a shitcoin so go figure.

Then stop selling it to the public for real money.

Again, you're confused because you think everyone else runs their coins like you do.

You see your coin as a way to take people's money and then tell them it was just a joke.  That's not what we're doing.

lol.
i own personal bumba, so does everyone else who owns bumba.
i guess we should all take them off the market because apparently no-one should be trading shitcoins.

that just shows how confused you are, do you even know what a shitcoin is? shall i list a few for you ?
Dash, Doge, Bumba, Barr. shitcoins are everywhere bae.

lol at your claim I'm trying to take peoples money? haha that's why Bumba is such an awesome shitcoin.

you are just rude.
and ignorant Cheesy
but mostly rude, i assume most of your ignorance is just you being rude and not realising how ignorant you seem.

lol.
i came on to ask why you were burning a coin with an active dev (Bowscoin), you said you'd been chatting with said dev, i said great.

then i said, maybe i could swap Bumba for Barr because we have some spare and need to give them away,
this evolves into you taking personal affront at me telling you how to operate Barr? then making outrageously untrue (and hurtful *sniff*) comments about bumba.

how to escalate an innocent discussion woot Cheesy

There is nothing uniquely special about BARR other than it's particular origin (from you) and it's name (BARR).

BARR is the only cryptocurrency that comes from burning different altcoins each month.  
Since it's the only one of its kind, it is unique by definition.  Try dictionary.com

that isnt what makes Barr unique, it's what makes it's distribution protocol unique.
Barr is a Next Asset style of shitcoin. no more no less.


Quote
if i wanted to regularly invest several thousand dollars of my own money i could inflate the price of BUMBA

"Oh, my coin could be good too, I just don't want it to be."

Since you don't think your own coin is worth buying, we'll take your word for it.

And since you don't think having a good coin is a worthwhile goal, we'll ignore everything you say about how to run a coin.  

since i dont think artificially creating a pump coin  is a good idea ??
pardon me for not wanting to manipulate it "too" much Smiley


Quote
anyone can create an arbitrary value for any shitcoin by putting money in

If there's a lot of money put into it, the value isn't arbitrary.  Again, words have definitions.

And if anyone can do it, why is your coin worth 100 times less than BARR?  
You keep saying you "could make a coin" or "could do the same thing", but you already did make a coin.  
Your coin has 5 active nodes and can only be traded as long as Cryptopia allows it.


of course it can be arbitrary,
lets pretend i want to increase bumba's value to a similar market cap of Barr.

i pick the arbitrary value, then i put the appropriate amount of resources into Bumba to reach that arbitrary value

i'm not saying that anyone decided to make Barr valued at 1100 sats (or whatever), i'm saying anyone can create an arbitrary value for a shit coin.
i'ts basic economics
if supply/demand create price, then manipulating supply/demand will effect price.

you're working with an artificially inflated system by arbitrarily injecting funds into the process. this is no different to selling things in a market place for bumba.
but it creates an artificial supply/demand cycle.

it's amusing how happy you are about the easily manipulatable system you're working with/ created. and how you think the outcome actually proves some sort of real value.

you havent even bothered working with a truly trustable system. you could dump any amount of Barr you wanted at any time.
i've never really looked at Next or Assets so I dont know, but with Bumba for example, it would be simple to code in a timestamp to lock fund from being accessed until that timestamp is reached.

also, you might want to keep up with your "transparency".
the opening posts in this thread are not up to date, nor is http://barr.me



You say it would be "easy" to do the same thing as BARR - but you don't even understand what we do or how it works.


lol because Barr is so mysterious that no-one truly knows how it works.


Quote
and if anyone wants to swap Barr for Bumba, send me a pm and we'll work something out Wink


If BARR's ideas aren't special or unique, why haven't you talked about doing them for the past 2 years until after BARR did them?  
If BARR's ideas are so "amusing", why are you now attempting to copy those ideas?  
So you'll have an excuse for all those premined coins you still have, after you announced you were giving them away last year?

You can't even give your coins away for free over a period of several months, but now you're offering them as a swap for other coins?


All you're really saying is "So what, BumbaCoin would be just as good as BARR if $30,000 had been invested in BumbaCoins."  
You might as well go over to the Bitcoin forum and tell them Bitcoin has nothing better than BumbaCoin other than 6 Billion dollars.  


You want to talk about a coin that has nothing uniquely special about it?  You launched an altcoin clone in 2014, exactly the same as thousands of others.
Your coin was listed on a "Dead Altcoins" list 30 days after you launched it.  That is what "anyone can do".
Your coin has 0 volume at 35 satoshis.  That is what's "easy to do".
Your ANN has 16 pages since 2 years ago.  That is something "we could do just the same", except we did it in 4 months.
Your "marketplace" topic has only had 4 people ever reply to it.  That's just sad.
And then for you to come here and preach about what we're doing wrong?  THAT is amusing.


So if BARR ever wants to be like BumbaCoin, we'll ask for your advice.
But for now, you're the one who's trying to be like BARR.  

Barr's idea is not unique, it's been floated around a few times.
Your self righteous indignation is also not unique.

lol Bumba was never meant to be anything more than a shitcoin so go figure. crypto is fun Cheesy

you're just making up amusingly outrageous crap now. lol

the only things you're doing wrong is getting outraged that i dont care how awesome Barr is, and also that you're not accepting that i could swap Bumba for Barr in exactly the same manner your doing. as could any other person ..

for whatever reasons, we gave away a couple of million bumba, and have a couple of million left.
obviously giving them away is not necessarily healthy for a coin, or perhaps you'd be doing the same Wink
how we give them away is completely arbitrary. doing a swap for another shitcoin is just another possibility. and if you cant see the humour in swapping them for Barr you should.


that said,
i was interested in getting some "gifts" for bowscoin and ended up catching a few dumps before the price pumped.
i'll watch with interest how the pump goes and where your buy walls end up Wink
perhaps it would be in my best interest to invest further funds into pumping bowscoin further Wink after all, it would be foolish of me not to enjoy such an easily manipulatable system to it's best affect.

YO

WTF is going on at yobit

Their wallet's either super late with withdraws, or "TEMPORARILY DISABLED, SUX 2 B U LOLZ" like right now, even though it says online & up-to-date

Why are they always having 'problems' with CUBE, when everything else (>99%) is syncing/running/tx etc. fine?

This is ridiculous, the only reason I have CUBE there is to wipe the last of my funds off the site, because this is literally the fifth time they've disabled the CUBE wallet...

To people trading CUBE, do it elsewhere...!

Yeah yobit is horrible with cube probably because they are staking it themselves so they don't want to mess up their blocks lol.  I always use ccex.

recently looking at droidz history,
it seemed that yobit did not stake their coins, while c-cex does.

In the figures above showing how you could afford to swap for BARR, I accidentally said 100,000 BARR when I meant 1,000,000.  That's my bad, sorry.

in the OP
BARR – 230,356 coins burned out of 780,856 in circulation  = 29% (self-burned BARR, sent back to the burnfund)

only 550,000 in circulation?


Quote
swapping Bumba for Barr could help strengthen both currencies apparently.

i have swapped names form this excerpt from your OP ..
  – If BUMBA offers an exchange for BARR and the BARR supply is only partially destroyed, then BUMBA and BARR can both benefit.  BUMBA can gain users and adopt the value of the absorbed coins which were burned, while BARR can continue with a higher value.


If you take a true statement and replace the most important word with something completely different, the statement might not be true anymore.
The most important word in the original statement was "BARR", but you've changed it to "BUMBA" which is completely different.
I guess it still applies because you said "if", but then it's just a hypothetical scenario that could never happen.

See, when BARR talks about burning an altcoin, thousands of dollars get spent and lots of coins get burned.
When Bumba talks about burning something, it's "amusing".  
So it's not quite the same thing, no matter which words you swap.

Just quoting our statements and inserting your coin's name doesn't mean anything.
BARR has actually made those statements reality, on 8 different blockchains and with $30,000 worth of coins.
Bumba has not done that, and was not designed for that purpose.

of course it's exactly the same thing, it's still true

There is nothing uniquely special about BARR other than it's particular origin (from you) and it's name (BARR).

i could make a shitcoin, SWAP, and offer exactly the same services and that statement would be true.
or i could put aside a portion of Bumba (or create more Bumba) and set up the same protocol

it does strike me as amusing that in the process of burning shitcoins, you are quite happy to strengthen two coins in the process. no worry about reducing the amount of shitcoins in existence, just make them stronger.





Besides, we've already burned over 230,000 BARR ourselves, which is more than you could afford with 100% of all Bumbacoins.
Of course we had a reason to burn them, and we did it in a way that made sense.  
We sent BARR back to the burn fund so it can be recycled and must be earned again with burned altcoins before it can go back into circulation.

But if you want to burn a few hundred BARR to go with the hundreds of thousands we've already burned, go ahead.  If you buy them or earn them, they're yours to do with as you please.

Quote
edit.
although i believe you have a stupendous amount of BARR in the burn fund, that even if we did burn the entier current circulated quantity of BARR, you would attempt to keep issuing BARR until some time next century?


If we burned 100% of Bumbacoins, would you attempt to keep mining blocks and generating new coins with PoW?

But yes, BARR can continue for 100 years.  

if i wanted to regularly invest several thousand dollars of my own money i could inflate the price of BUMBA to a point where we could swallow BARR. however at this point i dont really see any use as you will continue to pump out BARR for the forseeable future.

i could however continue to artificially inflate the value of BUMBA, whilst creating a protocol where through a similar release/halving system we could continue to burn BARR for the next 100 years.
(if necessary we could artificially create another million or so BUMBA for this purpose as well)

any artificial protocol is easy to copy. it's just a matter of doing it.

first of all create an artificial pump for BUMBA through injecting funds,
swap coins,
repeat regularly.

(it does make me consider the NEXUS swap model would be more useful here, as dumping BARR on the market place would help the process by continuing to de-value BARR (rather than strengthening BARR) and also convert them back into more buy support for BUMBA.)

that could result in a competition of who could artificially inflate their coin value the most, reminding me of the american political system where there is a corrupt system of waste taking place to see who can waste the most human resources.
haha although the competition would end with the strengthening of both BARR and BUMBA.

although tbh, strengthening is not necessarily true.
reducing coin supply, while increasing price .. inversely proportional and all that.
does increase value for some coin holders though Cheesy

--

i'm not that averse to Barr swapping coins, nor Digital Credits swapping coins, nor Nexus swapping coins, nor any other coin swapping system that may happen.
i'm not that averse to you continue to investing your own cash to inflate values to a point where it becomes useful to swap.

i agree that swallowing coin systems may create a stronger coin system,
i am quite amused that you have a system, that through the artificial injection of personal funds you can strengthen both shitcoins at the same time Smiley

i would like to point out that creating manipulated economic models does not make Barr an automatic success.
anyone can create an arbitrary value for any shitcoin by putting money in, that's how a PnD works,

the real value of Barr will be revealed in the future.
i wish you luck with your coin strengthening Cheesy

and if anyone wants to swap Barr for Bumba, send me a pm and we'll work something out Wink

-
edit if there is any consideration of ever swapping bumba, i will do anything useful towards it.
ie not dumping the remains of the premine Wink as they enjoy the same artificially valueless state of the Barr burnfund
