It's quite unfortunate that my post indicated that I am having any doubts about this project. It's really not the case - quite the opposite. I understand the developers how good software engineers are, they are honest guys with integrity and vision to provide solution for the booming IoT field, and I have no doubt something really promising is being developing here. Since I fully subscribed to the plan of charging the users $10/GadgetCoin as well as I believe the business plan is clearly doable, I can see the potential of W3C, I am looking for a 3,000% ROI with GadgetCooin/GadgetNet as the minimum target, and therefore I am certainly not selling GadgetCoin at this stage.

You are absolutely right terms of the scam devs vs. this project. These guys - with the skills they have - could easily roll out a BTC or LTC fork, make an IPO and then collect the money, rinse and repeat several times like many other devs have been doing that process for a while. Instead of the GDC devs have been spending their own money, free time at nights and weekends to create a solution from scratch by taking the risk which involve with such a new software development. When all those many hundreds BTC & LTC clone coins will be gone, then GadgetCoin/GadgetNet will be one of the few that remain to be exist. (In order to make that happen, the team needs to be consistent in delivery, which I am sure they will be, I just was reminding them about the importance of timely delivery).

As for have I developed something, actually yes, quite a few software in the last 20-25 years, you can imagine how many software a person could develop during such time frame. I could be wrong, but the most important what I have learned is that we always need to push as hard as we can in order to succeed in this industry. And yes, you are absolutely correct that we need to be patient and understand that the devs work part time at this stage.

I am very happy to be one of the supporters of this project. Very small community, but very good people like yourself, zsp, tobeaj2mer0, albert_mt, Netzer and all other supporters, it's a great community and as we are just at the beginning it will be even better.

All together, I am really positive about the Devs and GadgetCoin.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and certainly that's the case with regards to your situation.

I really hope your health issues will be resolved, and I believe it will be. This community need your knowledge and intellect, I hope it gives you strength in solving out the health problems.

Take care and speak soon.

Thanks for the update. I think there are still users, potentially investors out there who are interested in Vericoin and see potential in the team, so it is great to hear some updates sometimes from you.

Terms of the identity and protocol matters, we are having lots of discussion about these issues in the economy and other threads of this forum. Could you explain please briefly what are the permissioned system and pseudonymous public system in this context? Of course you can explain in more details if you have time - I am sure it would be appreciated by many -, but even a brief explanation would be very useful to understand what are the main attributes of a public permissionless system. Even in bullet points would be great to get some info to understand the basic idea and what are you up to.

Thanks for the update! It's good to see the project is moving forward, but yes, the slow progress is annoying. I really don't want to harass you about the progress, but trying to push and deliver sooner than later is critical. I understand this team and project has been very methodical, not rushing and trying to bring completely new things to the market from the beginning, still delivery in timely manner is important. So far you are lucky because the progress of other IoT and crypto projects, never mind IBM is even slower, so you are still in a primary position. It would be great if we could utilize on the failures of others. I think, the very bad shape of crypto currencies provide this project with a unique opportunity to succeed, but it could only happen if the platform start processing IoT transactions. I know you are working and the technology is close to the breakthrough, but as with any technology projects this final phase is critical, and keep pushing is very important.

I hope you can fix the problem, and I am sorry if I said anything offending or not appropriate in our conversation about diet a few days ago. 

I think you are absolutely correct about that.


I think you are too sensitive and you can't handle when someone has a different opinion than yours. You are calling people retard, dumb, etc. and insulting people with all kind of uncivil remarks in this forum all the time. Your posts are full of uncivil personal insults - in the meantime you are so sensitive to any opinion which disagree with you. Which is more important, I certainly not called you dumb, not even implied that - quite the opposite, I made a compliment virtually in every second post that you are the smartest person on this forum. You became very upset, because I was dare to express my opinion about the benefits of plant based diet, and that I subscribed to the calcium deficit theory with regards to milk.


I wrote above, that I am talking about supermarket diary products that is accessible to 99.999% of population, which raw milk is not such widely available product. I have no specific opinion on raw milk (except that logic dictates that it must be a bit better than pasteurized milk, in the meantime according to many scientists the bacteria in raw milk is a risk). I was talking generally about diary products and the government propaganda of diary products.
Milk is a separate food group on the food chart and that info is pushed to billions of people as a guideline for nutritions. That's what government teaches in school and even in kindergarten. It is a separate food group because it has calcium and some protein. It is same as the pumpkin seed would be a separate food group just because it is rich in magnesium.
Since large corporations - that control the FDA and European food authorities - have a vast interest in diary products, the propaganda pushes diary products to the masses. Even you admitted that the industrial diary products are not so good. I said several times that I am not worried about raw milk, I am talking about diary products which is accessible by 99.999% of the population, so I am not sure why so upset about that raw milk topic.

No hard feeling from my part as well, it was a very good discussion and I leave it with this.

Thanks for the link, it is very interesting. Please note, I have never stated the plant based diet lowers the chance of cancer. I am aware of that most studies point out that plant based diet has no statistically measurable effect on cancer.  As for the cardiovascular section, I think there is a hypothesis was thrown at Campbell's hypothesis. Since hypothesis vs hypothesis, I can't see anything else than intellectual back and forth (some calls it who is the biggest dick competition) between two scientists.

I wouldn't like to get into the debate whether Campbell's study is a junk science or not. Firstly I am not a scientist, long time ago, at the time they called like that, I was trained to be a computer programmer, so I am not qualified to make the judgement whether a study is junk science or not. Researches and studies funded by large pharmaceuticals will naturally conclude that Campbell's study is a junk science. After all Campbell is a serious threat to a $100 billion revenue stream (I understand the link you quoted is not funded by those crocs). It was no study in the history of science when another scientist wouldn't like to disproof the theory by most of times asserting a new hypothesis, so when from 10 scientists 5 support Campbell's view, another 5 says it is a junk science then I see that as a usual back and forth between scientists.

For me the most important is, that based on the theme and educational work of Campbell the cure of heart diseases and diabetes is starting to take a new path. Not to mention, it saved me a major heart surgery and saved the life by reversing the condition for almost all heart disease and diabetes patients who have undertaken the plant based i.e. not processed food based diet. One thing is sure: when you are on a plant based diet, eating lots of vegetable, fruit and not consuming processed food then your processed sugar intake is zero, your trans fat, hydrogenated oils, corn syrup intake is zero as well. No wonder the condition of heart diseases and diabetes patients is dramatically reversed once they get on plant based diet.

I am hoping this conversation will help a few young men of this thread when they are getting older, and then their doctors will tell that your cholesterol is getting high or it seems you are having diabetes issues. Or when someone from their family is having such issues. (since heart disease and diabetes are the biggest killer there is a good chance either the young men of this thread or their family members will experience with those diseases). And then I hope they will remember at the time - when the diseases are not critical yet - they have the option to go to a 3 months plant based diet (first just try it and see if it is doable). And then, they will see how the indicators of  life dangerous high cholesterol and diabetes will be lowered.

That's a great news you are cured.
I am not sure what serious, terminal illness you have that drinking raw milk for 3 days could cure you, but since I am not doctor, better if I not speculate on that. For the very same reason, that I am not Prof. Dr. AltcoinUK PhD BMed but a random fucker I am not ashamed that I shared my opinion on an Internet forum. I assumed from the beginning that with your intellect you will make the decision on your own with regards to the solution to your problem, but please believe me that I shared my opinion with the best intention.



I have just quoting this one sentence of yours because it probably summarizes the source of our misunderstanding. I never stated that plant based diet is a universal solution to everything nor that it will cure gut dysbiosys. I have not stated that, because
   a) I have no idea what gut dysbiosys is
   b) I have been specifically talking about and focusing on heart disease, diabetes, the two biggest health issues for westerners.
   
Yes, beginning of our conversation I suggested that perhaps you could try plant based diet instead of taking the saturated fat rich diary products and meat.  By now, I understand that you have already tried it, in fact you had been eating vegetables for 3 years (which is not equivalent with vegan diet but never mind), such diet didn't help you and now, thanks God, you found out that raw milk is the solution to your problem. I couldn’t be happier if raw milk sort out your Multiple Sclerosis. As I said at the beginning I have nothing but respect to you, and it would be great if you could sort out your health problem so we could read lot longer your posts on economy, society, computer science, etc.

I believe, we are trying to say the same thing. I do that with my bad English and of course you do that with your exceptional intellect and as always with your very educated posts. We are saying that the corrupt political system allows large corporations to poison the population with processed food aka sugar, trans fat, hydrogenated oils, corn syrup and the sockpuppets of large food companies in the FDA assist to that.

Which I have been asserting is that by taking plant based diet, by definition there isn't any sugar intake nor trans fat nor corn syrup nor hydrogenated oils consumption. No wonder heart disease and diabetes is non-existent in cases when the diet is plant based, or the condition could be reversed once the patient undertake plant based diet. If the individual is not a religious vegan and eat low fat fish/seafood (without oil) regularly like I do, then you could get the benefits of low fat protein, Omega 3, etc. which (i.e. the large quantity of vegetables combined with small amount of fish without oil) probably makes Japanese the longest living people. That's all I am saying from the beginning. And again I am very happy you could find the solution for your problem.

I suggest to keep this conversation civil. I am having just enough that virtually none of your posts could be without a personal insult about my reading ability, intelligence, etc.  I fully understand one day you are in the league of Kobe Bryant and you are super athlete (who won nothing with this exceptional mentality and ability by the way, so I am not sure WTF are we talking about), other day you can't even get out from bed because you are so ill, but you feel qualified to educate others how to be healthy, but again, lets keep it civil.
 
To get back to the topic, yes, just like 99.999% of normal, average, working persons do, I got my food from supermarkets or restaurants  before my heart disease developed. I think that's what people - apart from Kobe Bryant and the likes - do: go to supermarket or eat in restaurants. According to health statistics heart disease is the biggest killer, so no wonder average people like me get it. And then, I listened to remarkable scientists such as Caldwell Esselstyn and T. Colin Campbell, got myself into their programs and then the heart condition was reversed  - just like many thousands other heart patients who had undertaken the diet had similar result.

I am going though on the pain of discussing this issue with you and listening you personal insults, because statistics indicate that majority of young readers of this thread will be experiencing one way or other with heart disease or diabetes (because yes, they are buying the fucking food from conventional sources such as supermarket) and I hope what I put here can help them before the heart disease develops or even after, when they are having a heart disease and they are in serious trouble, in most of the cases in life dangerous situation.

And didn't I answer that I think in this context your raw milk is quite irrelevant as 99.999% of people simply unable to get your raw milk? The messages that milk is good for you has been pushed to people for decades, and all I am saying is, researches indicate that consuming the supermarket milk is not good for your health. Since 99.999% of consumers never can get raw milk why do wee need to debate the raw milk issue.

Terms of the raw milk risks, many scientists point out that the the all kind of bacteria in raw milk actually exposes you to more health risks than benefit. I am not sure if that the case, but I am just mentioning that there are lots of concerns with regards to that.

I have a few actually, and all of them are meat eaters :-))) they are adults and love to eat steak and all those nice meats which I loved so much. I asked them, when you will get to your 30s then remember what happened to me and how my heart disease was reveresed (just like many thousands other heart patients had), because I am sure my children are genetically programmed - just like me- to have issues with cholesterol and fat deposit on the artery.

OK.

Statistic and data clearly indicates that countries with the lowest consumption of dairy products also have the lowest fracture incidence in their population, while counties with high diary consumption is on the top of the hip and other fracture statistics. Your quoted research doesn't invalidate that fact, just like the beneficial effects of plant based diet with regards to heart disease and diabetes is a fact.

I would also like you stop spreading nonsense that will harm the health of readers, especially that in one day you can't get out from bed, at other day you are in the league of Kobe Bryant, therefore your cases the 1 in a million odd one while the recovery of heart disease and diabetes patients from plant based diet is exclusively happening to all patients who undertake such diet.

I am fucking saying about milk that 99.9999% of population has no access to your miraculous raw milk and therefore they will get the crap from the supermarket milk. Most importantly, as I pointed out, regardless it is raw milk or pasteurized milk, milk causes calcium deficit. I explained the biological correction which the response of human body to milk - which results in calcium deficit.

I quoted studies and researches - in the meantime you are keep referring to your personal case which is frankly quite exceptional as
a) you are having a potentially terminal illness and apparently some days you feel so bad that you can't even get out from bed
b) terms of your exercise regime at other days you are in the league of Kobe Bryant and other world class top athletes
c) you have the luxury to get your food from the best natural resources of the world

I am sorry, that's not typical, but you suggest that we must make from your experience a general conclusion, one that should be applicable to the masses. It is not possible because your case is not typical. I am talking about typical and normal cases. I have been trying to point out what is relevant to the majority of population, even to the audience of this forum, to young males in their twenties: all of them will experience with heart disease or diabetes or high blood pressure (or both in many cases) due to personally they will have or one of their family members will suffer from that, statistic indicates that will happen. These are diseases that could reversed and cured with plant based and vegan diet, and not eating the crap pushed to supermarket shelves by large corporations: engineered meat, diary products, trans fat, corn syrup (90% of foods have that) and hydrogenated oils, i.e. processed food.

You classify as bullshit the logical conclusions that was derived from large data samples, in most of cases over many years of independent research. In contrast to the biological facts, studies and researches that I have quoted, you argue with your personal experience which include days when you are in the league with Kobe Bryant as well as days when you can't get out from bed.

Anyway, I am happy you feel better, try to keep yourself that way :-))))

EDIT:
I really don't want to validate any vegan diet. Especially that I eat fish and seafood. All I am saying is, researches and reports from patients who are willing to undertake plant based diet indicate that plant based diet  in majority of cases reverses heart disease and diabetes. The exactly same happened to me as well what researches indicate will happen once you get on plant based diet. The majority of population will experience with heart disease and diabetes.

I also suggest the "Forks Over Knives" documentary, but yeah, the "Food Inc." is probably the most shocking and educational.

You will see in the Milk? documentary Campbell, the scientist who produced the China Study which I have been quoting in the last few pages. The work of these remarkable scientists slowly but surely is getting to the mainstream media. Still, doctors learn very little about nutrition science during their university studies, which is quite shocking. Majority of the research programmes of those universities are funded by large pharmaceutical companies, no wonder doctors are trained to push the expensive medicines to the masses instead of trying to educate the patients about the source of the problem. After all, cholesterol, heart and diabetes medicines are a +$100 billion dollar business and the health services will pick up the bill (NHS in the UK). This is a gold mine for large pharmaceutical companies. Their comrades, the large food corporations cause the problem in the first place by poisoning the masses with sugar, trans fats and hydrogenated oils. In the meantime, the FDA is full of former executives from large food corporations. A perfect cycle: poisons that require expensive medicines. Doctors are happy, shareholders of large pharmaceutical companies are happy, politicians whom campaign supported by large pharmaceutical companies are happy, what could go wrong with this perfect system except that there are 10th of millions people suffer from completely avoidable heart and diabetes diseases.

My daily rant is over, have a nice day :-))))

"Milk?". I believe I watched this on Netflix. Please watch that, quite shocking.

However, in the context of this Totalitarianism thread the most interesting is "Food, Inc." available on Netflix. It reveals how large food corporation poison the mass population with  and by controlling FDA.

Actually, I believe, I do understand the mindset of top athletes, but yes, you are correct, I didn't assume that you are in the league of those top athletes.  
A very close friend of mine is an Olympic champion, two times world champion and 6 times European champion and I do understand what mental strength is required to get that result. Knowing his carrier, it is unreal what those top athletes can do to get the result. Apart from Christmas Day (his only day off from training in a year), he trained usually twice a day from age 8 to age 30, but again, the mentality of those athletes what is quite exceptional. It was thrown a lot of unfair problems to him on both personal and professional level (media, agents, sponsors, etc.), but nothing could detour him from training because he had one goal: to be a champion. He avoided any disagreements to be in the position to be able to train next day in order to become a champion. In the meantime, I was very good at football (still play a lot), but I said to my coaches/managers that fuck-off man, that's a bullshit when I didn't like something - no wonder that my carrier was limited to run around with arrogant fuckers like myself in league 4.



You are probably the smartest person by far here, you obviously know a lot, but this is the second time I have to correct you on a popular misconception about foods (the beneficial effects of olive oil was the first).

Milk actually reduces calcium in your bones. Similarly to all animal proteins, milk acidifies the body pH level, which then triggers a biological correction. Calcium is an excellent acid neutraliser and since the biggest storage of calcium in the body your bones, then the very same calcium in your bones is utilized to neutralize the acidic effect of milk. Once calcium is pulled out of the bones, it leaves the body via the urine, and the net result is an actual calcium deficit. No wonder why statistics indicate that countries with the lowest consumption of dairy products also have the lowest fracture incidence in their population, while Denmark is on the top of the hip and other fracture statistics. A recent Swedish study published not long ago in the British Medical Journal points out that drinking three glasses of milk per day results in increased incidence of osteoporosis, bone fractures, and earlier mortality. These are independent university researches. On the other hand, as far as I know all researches/studies that suggest the benefits of milk (mainly the calcium myth) are funded by the diary industry.

Plant based sources of calcium such as leafy greens, nuts, dried basil are both healthier and more easily absorbed. One cup serving of soybean sprouts provides 46 per cent of daily calcium requirements which is the equivalent of a glass and a half of milk, except the soybean provides you with only 30 calories, which reduced calories intake is obviously better (for the vast majority of population). I fully understand by now that it is not applicable to you as you need an incredible amount of extreme calories for your top athlete regime, but 99.999% of the population is not in the league of Kobe Bryant and yourself, and therefore I think they should know that diary product is not good for human body (which I have been banging-on in the last few pages).

There are a few very good documentaries that summarizes how the diary industry and their sockpuppets in the FDA mislead the population about the benefit of milks.

I am sure you are having strong teeth despite of milk, and not because of milk. Your strong teeth most likely because of your genetics.

This link is interesting.

I told you that I am enjoying nice tuna steaks, salmon, trout and all kind of seafood at least once a week so I am not a religious vegan at all. I have no issues with vegans who try to save animals, in the meantime I don't subscribe to their doctrine.
Which I thought was important to point out is that many studies, researches and my personal experience as well indicate that plant based/vegan diet is very beneficial and most of the cases substitute all medications for heart and diabetes cases (the biggest killers in the US and UK). Almost all those heart and diabetes patients who are disciplined and never eat meat experience with reversal, and even the less disciplined who eat fish like me have a very good result.


OK. I misunderstood you then. I thought you are having a very serious, potentially terminal health condition, multiple sclerosis, but it seems you are in fact aiming to continue be an athlete while having such serious condition. I am not sure how the MS condition and an athletic lifestyle can coexist, but I hope you can manage it.

That's great you feel well, try to stay healthy and active :-)))

I understand that about stop losses, and if that was the case today, then it were some very level headed and cool traders who pulled off that 400 points jump under such job data conditions and hostile bearish climate. Even 90% of experienced floor traders couldn't understand what's happening, but yes, you could be right that's what happened.

Could be that as well, I certainly can't prove otherwise.

Personally, I would be very surprised if any retailers would buy anything following that job data and sudden drop. I spoke many those retailer bulls during the day in person, on phone, over the internet and all of them were scared to buy anything. People like me who shorted were calm and happy, but I didn't meet any retailers who was buying. Even floor traders were confused like hell.
