What size coin blocks are you guys using?  I haven't used the coin control, and I'm not getting as many blocks as I expected, considering a 60 second block time and my stake weight.  Are you staking continuously or letting your coin age build past 2 days?
1023  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Paycoin (XPY) = Federal Reserve on: February 15, 2015, 05:08:53 PM
what happened this coin?
why down more and more..

Because it is made from nothing.  It required no work or value to generate the coins.

Bitcoin required millions of computers working for 6 years to generate 14,000,000 coins.  XPY required GAW typing a few numbers, and they could have created any amount they wanted for no extra work.

The "Federal" Reserve Banking System is a group of banks which have over 4 trillion dollars worth of assets.

The banks are not owned by the government, but they were created by an Act of Congress.

Some people believe that it gives rich people too much control over the government, while at the same time giving the government too much control over our money.

1026  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to calculate the real price of a coin ? on: February 14, 2015, 05:07:48 PM
see how much it costs to produce a coin.

if coin production doesn't cost anything then price is close to 0.

You need at least two devices with different IP addresses running a wallet to start a coin off. That costs money however you do it. Granted, it's not much money, but it still costs.

If you want your coin to be taken seriously you need to pay for a website and block explorer too.


He's not talking about creating the coin network, he means how much it costs to generate each coin. 

If you clone Bitcoin and then type the numbers "2,000,000,000" for the genesis block reward, and then offer those coins for sale as an ICO, you're just making up money out of thin air that isn't worth anything.  It would have cost you the same number of keystrokes to create 10 billion, or 100 billion, or 100 trillion.

OK for PoW coins but what about PoS coins ?

They don't have the inherent value of PoW coins, because they don't cost much electricity to mine.  So the price is decided by the few people who already have coins.
1029  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to calculate the real price of a coin ? on: February 13, 2015, 11:56:32 AM
The "real" price can be estimated by a mining profitability calculator.

If you can mine a coin for less BTC than it's selling for, then go rent a rig at miningrigrentals.com or use your own computer.

If the coin is being dumped for less than it costs to mine it, then it's currently a good price to buy.

Coins cost electricity to mine, and that is their minimum price.  When block rewards halve, and when more miners compete, the cost goes up because people have to spend more electricity to mine the same amount of coins.  If they have to pay for more electricity to mine a coin, they have to sell the coin for more money.

Plan B maybe? But what was plan A? We don't really know so this whole thread is moot.

so you're saying it was actually planned by 4chan

I would hate for people who encounter comments like that to think the attitudes they represent are typical for the bitcoin community.

People who aren't in the Bitcoin community wouldn't be reading this forum, this topic, and certainly not page 2 of this topic.  So their little delicate female feelings are safe from our ignorant words.  I appreciate you doing everything you can to protect your mom, but IMO it's unhealthy for you to treat every woman as if she's your codependent mother.

Where did I talk gender politics?

It's your entire purpose here.

And I used "misogyny" not as a political buzzword but according to how it's defined in the dictionary.

Maybe a radical feminist dictionary.  But in the real world, "hate" isn't defined as "anything my mother disapproves of".

Of course, to you, any man who disagrees with a woman is hateful and should be punished.  Especially if he speaks the truth when a woman doesn't want to hear it.  Because your nature is violent and you want to kill or otherwise eliminate anyone who upsets your mother, so that you can earn the love you've always wanted from her.
1033  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advice for the Reddit Bitcoin Husband on: February 11, 2015, 06:43:16 PM
It's not that women are less interested.  It's that no one expects them to understand it.




Yes, women are helpless to learn about Bitcoin until men start having higher expectations of them.

The female-only internet that they use isn't able to display Bitcoin-related websites, so the only way for them to find out anything is if we patiently explain it to them like children.  Unfortunately, because of the patriarchy, men keep it a secret.  I can't count how many times I've heard a woman say, "Are you guys talking about Bitcoin?  I've never heard of that but I'm very interested in it, please tell me more."  But the men just coldly ignore her and lower their conversation to a whisper, frustrating the natural female appetite for knowledge of cryptography.

It's high time women who are interested in Bitcoin are allowed the equal right to use the internet and access the collected knowledge of humanity, clicking links and finding out as much as they could possibly want to know about any subject that interests them. 

I'm quite sure that if I was female, the Bitcoin Foundation wouldn't have come to my house and demanded to explain Bitcoin to me, which is how most of us got started.
1034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advice for the Reddit Bitcoin Husband on: February 11, 2015, 04:01:02 PM
I'm embarrassed to read some of the misogynistic comments made in this thread

Why?


Quote
and to know that to casual observers these attitudes will appear representative of bitcoin users.

We are Bitcoin users, and these are our comments, so the comments are representative of Bitcoin users.


Quote
Maybe save those comments for a different part of the internet? They have nothing to do with bitcoin and have no place on this forum.

So you're saying I have no right to talk about gender politics, but you will continue to talk about gender politics and use your politically charged buzzwords like "misogyny" and try to silence minorities. 
1035  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [UNO] Unobtanium Info & Discussion - Current wallet 0.9.5 on: February 10, 2015, 09:08:16 PM
Sold at 18, used all that BTC to buy in again at 14.  It was a risky move, since I didn't really want to sell any UNO, but I felt confident enough that the price would go back down.  Of course I blinked instead of waiting for 12 like I said I would.  But I'm happy to pay 14.
1036  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advice for the Reddit Bitcoin Husband on: February 10, 2015, 08:23:24 PM
During college, as a computer science major...there would be maybe 2 girls in the class of 30-50 guys. One asian and one ugly but with a boyfriend.

So even among the nerdiest of girls, the most aspie of girls, the most socially awkward and ugly - 100% of them are able to find boyfriends, get married, and have children if they choose.

And what percentage of the guys in that class had girlfriends?  Less than 100%?  What percentage were virgins?  What percentage will never find anyone to marry them?

See, people like to show up and point fingers and label things as sexist against women, and make up imaginary examples of how women have it harder or how women are oppressed.  But women don't have it harder - feminists just whine the loudest, so there's a general public perception that their problems are bigger. 

If a young man spends every day programming, there's a good chance he will never get a girlfriend.  Men are required to make things happen, while even feminists focus mainly on what happens to them.  The lonely programmer will sometimes leave the house, go to the grocery store, but no female will make any attempt to start a conversation with him. 

Because women have everything handed to them for free, and everything is done for them without requiring them to know anything about what's going on, why should they make any effort to get to know a guy?  There will be a dozen better guys begging them for sex by the end of the day, and willing to give them whatever they want as payment. 

So for the lonely programmer, nothing will ever happen in his life unless he makes it happen.  But a nerdy female programmer can do the exact same things, live the exact same routine, but she'll end up married.  Because things will happen to her without any effort on her part.  Even if she goes nowhere but the grocery store, some man will eventually approach her and find out whatever it is she requires in exchange for what he wants.  That's why 90% of all modern women have at least one child (and closer to 99% of women who are physically able), while an estimated 40% of men throughout history reproduced.

 And even if you do get married and support your wife and children, there's a pretty big chance that she violated your consent (raped you) and got pregnant from another man without your knowledge, forcing you to raise someone else's child against your will for 18 years, and robbing you of your right to reproduce.  And she is perfectly within her legal privileges to do that, while you are forced by law to pay for her lies and pay for the other man's child even if you prove in court that the child doesn't belong to you.  Too late, pay or you lose your driver's license and go to jail.

That's female privilege - to have the cake and eat it too.  Everybody likes to talk about how women are oppressed in Saudi Arabia, because a man can beat his wife in public and nobody will do anything to stop him.  Well, I live in the United States, and a woman can beat her husband in public and then have him arrested.

There are only 5 million shares, and someone is dumping millions.  Not even selling them dirt cheap, but purely dumping them down from 100 to 21 as if they're after something more important than money.
1038  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advice for the Reddit Bitcoin Husband on: February 10, 2015, 10:28:55 AM
If women aren't on board, a technology or invention is useless.


LOL!

Women don't get on board with anything unless it is useless.  They might like something that is useful to themselves, but then they have to make sure it's useless to other people before pledging their full support.  

We can go into several pages of detail if you want, but the lack of female users is a strong indicator that Bitcoin is a good technology.

Compare it to the progression of computer technology, and notice the point at which it gained widespread acceptance among women:  when the keyboard was removed and its main function became browsing fashion pictures and/or trying to get other people to look at pictures of themselves.

For perspective on how technology gets developed by men, here is the Mother Of All Demos, from 1968:

LOL!  2 Youtube links & an info-meme.
It was five sentences, four links, and one quote, none of which you responded to in any meaningful way.


I've posted 14 sentences, a link, 6 quotes, AND I've quoted 8 links!  So that's a far more meaningful amount of copying and pasting than your paltry amount of copying & pasting.

No, because guacamole is more than just plain avocado.


But hummus is just fancy refried beans.  Deny that if you want, but I am prepared to start a new topic on the subject if necessary.
