When Mass coins become available in two weeks maybe I will buy them from you -65% of ICO (pre-bonus) if you need the money.

 You got 45%? Imagine someone who invested at 0% only to see late investors get 55%.

Investor relations is sleeping probably. ICO completion is a big deal.  Even though there is a small number of investors you have to make an effort as a company to say something.

Why would mass.network fail?  I think they have a chicken and egg problem.  Mass users have to go to a Mass enabled website to get paid.  Who adopts firsts?  The users or the websites?  How hard is it to get websites to on board the mass network?  Right now there is no plan I see.

That in combination with bad bonus decisions which reflects on leadership.

They have a good website though.

The problem here is that it is not really a bonus.  There is a finite supply of mass coins.  If they give a bonus that means they essentially take coins from early investors and redistribute it to late investors.  It is a redistribution of wealth.

If they had said beforehand that there was a set amount of coins for "advertising" to be used to promote mass, then yes, I would be okay them using those advertising coins for bonuses.  They need to clarify where those bonus coins come from.  Remember, 70% of the coins is initial offering and 30% to the devs if I remember correctly.  So, nothing was said about any other allocation of coins, (so this is scam-like).

The only solution I can see is if the bonus coins are taken from the devs or from the 30% that are continually distributed.

I'm starting to want my bitcoins back.

The original Bitcoin Core client is mainly neutral.  They do not wish to force anything on anybody even if it is in the best interest for the entire group.  For example, Bitcoin Core Segwit activation requires 95% of hashing power.  The 5% remaining of hashing power can block this activation.  In general core developers in conjunction with the community support this conservative stance of pushing for 95% super majority for soft forks.

The purpose of Bitcoin Core++ is to promote the work of core developers by being less conservative so it can continually advance and technically promote protocol efficiency and usage.  

I may sit down and put more thought into this so we can define what exactly is the purpose of BC++ with support from the community.

I am thinking any protocol changes would be unacceptable for BC++ because of the potential of an alt-coin fork.  Features for BC++ would have to focus on things like limiting the network effect of BU.  I would say that any limitation would have to be passive in that BC++ does not intend to attack other clients.  BC++ would not allow BU to use the resources of BC++.  Limiting/dropping network connections to BU would be a primary example.  I would also like to explore this and know if this has any ramifications for the bitcoin network.

Another idea for BC++ is to turn on the right signaling flags as standard instead of letting others turning on the flags manually.

I am proposing a new bitcoin client called Bitcoin Core++ (BC++).  It's a bitcoin client that advocates for the success of Bitcoin Core.  What makes this client different?  The original Bitcoin Core client is mainly neutral.  They do not wish to force anything on anybody even if it is in the best interest for the entire group.  For example, Bitcoin Core Segwit activation requires 95% of hashing power.  The 5% remaining of hashing power can block this activation.  In general core developers in conjunction with the community support this conservative stance of pushing for 95% super majority for soft forks.  The purpose of Bitcoin Core++, however, is to promote the work of core developers by being less conservative so it can continually advance and technically promote protocol efficiency and usage, and to disregard politics.  Decisions will lean to be technical instead of political.

For example, Bitcoin Core++ may block clients attempting to subvert the core protocol.  For example, if a Bitcoin Unlimited client mines a block or relays a block then BC++ will ignore it.  BC++ will also not allow BU clients to connect to itself.  If you have any other suggestions then please post in this thread.  Or, if you have any technical ideas or issues then let us know.

I am looking for volunteers to help create this new client including programmers, web developers, and online marketers.

$35 is not that much.  I am expecting 100% returns.

1.) Needs new logo in upper right.  Seems kind of plain now.
2.) The Mastercard/Visa logo is aliased.  Needs to be more crisped and anti-aliased.
3.) On the Affiliate page the red is really red.  When it changed from blue to red it was a minor annoyance.
4.) Maybe move the footer so it is near the bottom of the screen.  Right now it shows up in the middle of my monitor.
5.) Tried signing up but didn't work.

If bitcoin reaches $10,000 then anything is possible.  It's the inflection point we have all been waiting for.  Lightning network will expedient the flow of money from fiat to bitcoin.  Cheap and fast transactions.

You just need to set up a crowdsale and send them and email and they might list it.

Bitcoin, bitcoin, bitcoin.  If all else fails bitcoin will most likely remain.  It has endured the longest, has been beaten down, and has always risen again.  Less speculation is required for bitcoin than for other alt-coins which may have huge risk.

Ripple is premined and they took a huge chuck of the premined coins.  This is a flaw of Ripple.

$680 is a strong base.  It will hold and go up.

If Trump blocks remittances to Mexico or blocks Visas then the price of bitcoin will go up.  In the first 100 days he wants to start sending illegal criminals back to Mexico and if Mexico doesn't accept them he will start blocking visas.  This will cause temporary chaos and the market might drop.  Mexico will be forced to accept the criminals.

Further along beyond 100 days Trump will start deporting more illegals and building a wall.  More chaos will ensue, the market will drop, money will flow to gold, silver and bitcoin.  Trump will force Western Union and other remittance companies to block money going to Mexico.  He will force Mexico to accept the illegals or else risk 100% border closure.  Mexico again will have no choice and do what Trump will say.

Finally, Trump will force Mexico to pay for the wall by disallowing trade to occur with Mexico.  A wall is a drop in the bucket compared to billions lost in trade.

Worst that could happen is Mexico will work with Russia and allow nukes to be located on Mexican land like how Fidel Castro did during the Cuban missile crisis.  U.S. will be forced to blockade Mexico and secretly plan for an invasion, similar to what happened during the Bay of Pigs with Cuba.

This could be chaos, folks.

If Trump wins and he build the wall or blocks visas then the price of bitcoin could go up.  People can no longer send U.S. dollars to Mexico so they will be forced to use something like bitcoin.

What exactly is a service exporter?  What do you need $40k for?
