How nice if Bitcointalk also implement this puppet labeling strategy. The place would be a lot safer and nicer.  Cool

If chosen, the final logo can be edited based on the feedback of the community, and we can then move forward to the rest of the required artwork (splash, wallet, etc.)
I'd like to have it done for HyperStake like we did for monero, that is:
Once the logo is done, the website should use a similar layout. Which for now mean the website should use shades of blue.
So, people with WordPress theming skills will be welcomed

Cool. That means logo, splash image, wallet, paper wallet, ANN thread, Twitter, FB and Reddit headers, wallpapers and backgrounds for the website as well.

anotehr 2014 newbie coming out with proposed changes. . If people are stupid and want to invest in these coins then so be it. Even these so called pumps and dumbs have potential for money to be made. just because someone ends up coming out as the loser. Play the game, if you cant, then leave. Simple as that. Bunch of whiny fcking sore losers in this forum now a days. I for one get entertained seeing all these new coins come out, and every single "scam" coin as you put no matter how recycled the coin may be, has potential money to be made. Aside from that, if idiots want to invest in so called IPOS, pay a premium on a coin when coin specs show potential of a dump by developer or momentum trading shows that it is not the time to buy this so called scam coin, you can stay in the clear, make profit and avoid having huge loses. Crying for changes is not the answer here but getting educated is. After all someone else mentioned this in another thread, this is the Wild west of crypto.



Really? Your account was created in December of 2013. A mere 18 days from being a "2014 newbie".....
Grin

TheCloser, I take it you are comfortable with anonymous 'devs' dominating the ANN thread with their coin releases? I'm not.
To be honest, I'm not sure what research or education anyone can obtain from these new accounts.
I would rather have known developers launching coins. Only then can we conduct proper research.
Yes, there are inherent risks in crypto, but I'd like to think it's more than just the blind luck of the draw.

Anyway, the "wild west of crypto" is not something we should be proud of.
The romanticization of the wild, wild, west - the American frontier - often makes people forget the savagery, lawlessness and ignorance of the era.

i just seen a story with GITHUB
http://torrentfreak.com/mpaa-pulls-popcorn-time-off-github-140711/

what that made me think is if we complained maybe Github would take these crap coins down ?
I don't think we could do this. Do you think it/they/Github could/would?

or better yet if Regulation is imposed all it's going to take is a call from the Feds and mass coins will get pulled.
In a normal stock market type industry most of these so called coins would be considered Ponzi / Pyramid schemes
and guys would get jail time !
They would also get a lot of jail time for insider trading and fraud..
and it does not look good when this place deliberately aids this activity.. they may soon be on a slippery slope legally.. not smart !
It's one thing for them to sit there and play dumb vs making it easier on purpose to post digital pyramid schemes.

I think guys better start using there brain because if Regulations are imposed there could be instant arrests on the spot all over !
And regulations can be added and imposed very fast too.

I think the FBI etc have been here with us all along too.. they usually do investigations that span many years.

But hey, do what ya want see if i care.. i won't be the one doing jail time with Martha Stewart or Berni Madoff and his associates.
His associates tried the playing dumb defense in court and it failed miserably and they were given jail time for their support of Ponzi schemes.

Yes, that is true. I've read how the FBI would sometimes spend up to a decade on cases.
But the jurisdictional constraints would be enormous here.

not sure if scams are possible to be avoided in generally, but BCT not allowing giveaways has pissed off quiet many people i think
It can't be eradicate completely, I agree, but reducing it would be a good start.
Just to share with you, I stumbled across two 'devs' in the past 2 weeks with a total of five coins.
I told an exchange owner (and provided evidence) that one of the devs, with a coin just added the previous week, was trying to get another one listed.
The exchange owner laughed, and the next day, the second coin was listed.  Huh

I am not familiar with the situation with the giveaways, but I can sort of imagine why it was banned and why coin owners would be annoyed with it.

You do realize it used to be that way already but staff removed it right ?

and i agree.. you got my support.

I wasn't aware of that. Did they give a reason for the removal, Spoetnik?
689  Other / Meta / Petition to introduce minimum activity count for ANN thread starters on: July 12, 2014, 04:39:03 AM
In recent months (years?), we have been bombarded with an uneding series of coins from fresh, brand new alt accounts. In the past month alone, I've lost count at the number of 'anon' coins released with accompanying kiddie whitepapers. That, by itself,  is not the problem.

The problem lies in how this anonymity allows a 'dev' to easily create multiple accounts to release multiple coins designed exlusively for exchange pump and dumps and IPO scams.

By enacting a minimum activity count requirement for ANN thread starters, say, 100 activity, these 'devs' will have to invest time in the forum before being able to launch their coins.

Some would argue that people can still nurture alt accounts to fulfill the 100 activity requirement, or even just purchase accounts.
However, the post history behind these accounts will still be valuable for forum participants to judge the merits of the claims made by individual developers.
An account that spent 3 weeks collecting giveaways before suddenly announcing the launch of a fancy new coin will hardly be taken seriously, right?

Some would even argue that scams, P&D and fake IPOs can be perpetrated by established members. Sure, but they can only do it once using that account.

The mods of this forum are known for their grinding, bureacratic anti-change policy.
But if enough people lend their support to this proposal, I believe they might just eventually be sufficiently motivated to make this change.

Unless there is some really, really, super good reason that I cannot possibly imagine, there is absolutely no logical reason why we should continue to allow coins to be released by zero-post alt accounts.

What say you?

I am CEO of BlockCypher (Catheryne Nicholson). I am posting this as an official statement from our company:

We at BlockCypher have agreed to host the Urocoin block chain on BlockCypher's infrastructure. This allows the Uro Foundation to leverage BlockCypher's platform and APIs. In return, the Uro Foundation has agreed to compensate BlockCypher for the development and hosting cost for their block chain.

We understand startups have to fight uphill for an ideal they believe in. We also believe in the opportunity for digital coins to back commodities. In that spirit, we are helping the Uro Foundation with the platform piece. BlockCypher's infrastructure was designed to host a multitude of block chains. What we are helping Uro with aligns with our vision of a world with multiple digital coins.

BlockCypher holds itself to the highest standards of integrity and transparency. Should it come to our attention that illegal activity or trade, gross misrepresentation, or outright theft has occurred, BlockCypher reserves the right to take appropriate action.


I think many are unaware of what this deal truly means and its significance Uro.
Essentially, this provides a cloud-based platform that ensures easy scalability of Uro-related infrastructures - from payments systema and online wallets to exchanges and other block chain applications. Blockcypher's multisig API also provides a greater level of security for service providers and end users.

First off, anyone with a brain can see that the person in the "Red Shirt" is not the same person in the video chat of this evening...two very different people.

Second off, all you people saying that he is not a scamming altcoin developer because he has posted his picture on the internet as well as done a live video feed...well, let me remind you all of a person by the name of Bernie Madoff.

Quote
The Madoff investment scandal broke in December 2008, when former NASDAQ Chairman Bernard Madoff admitted that the wealth management arm of his business was an elaborate Ponzi scheme.

There are people every day all over the world who are very willing to put their faces out there to help them complete the "Long Con" and have been doing so for decades. There is far more issues with the validity of this coin actually being something real, than there are things to actually prove this coin is legit.

Web pages are also highjacked every day, as are email accounts and even identities. What I truly hate about this whole affair, is that we all want BTC and Altcoins to be taken seriously by the rest of the world, but that is never going to happen with things like this going on every week. Also, Mintpal and Bittrex should be taking a stance on this, and at least halt the URO markets until it is undeniably proven that what the OP has stated about this coin is true.

1. It is the same person.
2. If you are using the standard of guilty until proven innocent for Uro, shouldn't you be using the same standards on every other alt coins? Should every coin be punished by every accusations made, no matter how ridiculous?


It is clearly NOT the same person. The person in the "Red Shirt" is clearly not the same as the one in the video chat.

Most other Altcoins have not come out with such elaborate statements regarding the value of their coin. There has NEVER been another Altcoin come out with a "Cloned" website from a company that is listed on the Australian ASIC site as being "Insolvent".

The evedence that I have seen not only here in this thread, but by also doing my own due diligence and checking into the accusations, has led to my decission that this is not a wise investment. Just looking at the amazing rise in price, then the free fall drop in price in just 24 hours, tells me that this is so volatile, you would be a fool to invest into this coin, even if it does turn out to be a legit coin with a real deal for Urea Fertlizer contracts, the proce swing is just to dangerous. A wise invester invests wisely.

Clearly not the same person? That is the same person - but credit to you for creating a new line of attack that will probably be picked up by your brethrens soon.

As for your 'evidence', you do realize the same commercial site also listed Apple and Microsoft as insolvent right? You do realize that using the official Australian government site, nothing out of the ordinary is seen. The link was provided repeatedly in the previous pages. What kind of due dilligence are you conducting?

Further, you speak of price volatility as if it is something alien in the crypto world. How long have you been trading in alt coins?

EDIT: Before you respond again, I want to read through the pages and observe how several newbies have been here for hours attacking this thread - one even for almost 12 hours. Does that seem natural to you?

Things that will not stop fudding-  Angry Ranting.

Things that will reduce fudding- Documented, verifiable facts backing up the company, the process, and the deals made.
Hasn't he been providing that all along?
People have been accusing those of being false/lies, but none of the accuser have actually the balls to ask him directly - aside from alt accounts here.

where are the Fud - ask now  

Ask the questions

I don't think any other coin, apart from BTC, LTC and a few others, have been as transparent as this.
Certainly no other alt coin has gone as far as this.

+1 - thats why i posted this earlier. who wud do all this!!!

Well i have seen scam coins- where the annonoymous devs- never reveal their identity and as soon as the coin hits the exchange- they dump their premine- aah they first have IPO to collect extra btc. And then they vanish.

And guess what- This is the first time I am seeing any alt coin ann thread with so much continuous baseless fud in last 2 days (why only last 2 days- because the price rose way beyond for a piss coin- get yourself educated first- urea is not piss)

And during all this fud- guess what the transaction of uro which happened with the urea deal with 12500 uro still stays here http://uroexplorer.cryptocuttlefish.cc/address/UkTxkgTehxnrrmuUdx8hXre2GyUaeNasbW

Use your brain - if you know about purecoin e.g - if it was a scam- all this amount of uro would have been dumped by now when the price hit 0.038 btc!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup.
So many alts in a single thread trying to clog every page.
