8002  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [OSC] opensource coin -- visions, goals, and words of inspiration on: May 29, 2014, 05:31:53 PM
I find these discussions about anonymous vs transparent blockchains a bit superfluous.

Authorities aren't going to give 2 flying sods whether a particular blockchain is anonymous or not. They're not going to "love one and ban another". As soon as one is untraceable they all will be as far as regulations are concerned. There are going to be millions of "cryptos" out there in a few years of every conceivable singing and dancing technical description.

Anonymity is important in any financial system to protect commercial interests and competitiveness. Nothing to do with criminality. How would everybody feel if all their bank statements were available down at the public library ? Or if I was a clothing retailer and could check up on all my competitors cash sales movements ?

But threat to the mainstream financial system is nothing to do with transaction anonymity (although that does make it commercially attractive). It's the fact that cryptocurrencies are unlevered BASE MONEY.

Base money has been kept out of the hands of the public since the days of before the Federal Reserve, because the general public having access to base money of any type or value basically amounts a run on the banking system. Base money is a definition. It doesn't imply value - the market gives it value - it implies that it's the end of the line in a chain of trust managed by counter parties (in this case, central and commercial banks).

The anonymity thing is a total distraction as far as regulations go. If cryptocurrencies ever gain a substantial foothold in the mainstream economy they will melt the debt based banking sector like lava to a waxwork. It's just simple arithmetic because of the massive leverage that has built up over base money during the last 50 years. Why do you think the Chinese are so desperately trying to plug the holes in their system ? They've not been able to touch cryptos - they have had to do it by regulating fiat. But if people actually start using cryptos for goods and services then they're screwed because you can't stop them passing strings of letters and numbers around or block every single Port 8333 on every PC in the world.

Regulators are basically clueless about cryptocurrencies and will probably never have a chance to catch up with them before it's too late. You only have to watch those videos on the New York hearing to see that.

The idea that they "like" cryptos because the blockchain's transparent is ridiculous. All you have to do to launder money is to pass it through an exchange and maybe through another crypto and back.

Darkcoin is getting valuable because it has promised the ONE thing that cryptos are missing which the fiat system does have - commercial privacy.

disagree with the do you're own due diligence dismissal above

I am interested in this concept.

It is smart to have a IPO Alt Coin Fund.

I'd suggest a roundtable/grannie investor weekly compare notes.
Make calls.  Grade past calls. (have a scoreboard)

Hold the stocks yourself / or have collateralize custodians
(it's easy to set up a mostly no trust needed system)

1. you need good intel so it requires homework.
2. there has to be metrix / rules (aka formula)

this is worth exploration.  

OP you game to facilitate and moderate?  

Anyone interested bump in below.

PS (got be launch mining) IPOs almost always go south before north

(but then again BTC is now a stone age block chain)


All I ask from a dev is
working code.

the rest is up to the community

BW is controversial, that is his persona, blunt, and self admittedly so.
You're opinion on his nature is as you wish,feel, believe.

Chief Scientist Opinion

The community is responsible for communication and organization of information.  Not the dev.

I don't need to believe the guy can code, the proof is in the work.  

Is there not a MAC client update from the Dev?  Is that not proof of commitment to the project?  Where we not asked to be patient?  Good things take time.  Has not the network hash and market support both significantly risen?  r3wt granted the Dev leadership role to BW, freely and willingly to move the project further.  Have some faith in the choice r3wt made.   Open Source Coin needed a very vocal advocate, a bull to enter the china shop that is the open source community.  


cinnamon_carter,

You're a very knowledgeable dev.
Of all coins, I would hope that Open Source becomes a very inclusive dev Team.  An open development project.  
Please stick around.  Judge the code, not the personality types.

Looking to maybe get in on DRK but looking for answers to these questions first.

Is there anything that makes DRK harder to clone than other coins?

Are there currently any DRK clones?, or clones in the works?


DarkSend is closed source which is another reason I wouldn't hold this coin long term.

closed source + instamined = never owning a single DRK.

8017  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AsicCoin (ASC) | SHA256 - The coin for ASIC Mining! | No Premine on: May 24, 2014, 12:01:31 AM
Hey all, new to ASC. You should advertise this to all the people with sha-256 block erupters, such as antminer u1 and u2's. It could give us the needed user base and add hashes to the network.

Even better; be a bro and get one to mine ASC, they're like 25 - 30 bucks these days.

No idea how to make that happen, but I think we can keep this coin alive. Spread the word. I'm going to hit 4chan maybe and try to start some ASC threads.

Lets do this  Cool

sha-256 block erupters, such as antminer u1 and u2
like this, have thought this too

Bring sha-256 back to the little guy, GPU are too expensive and burn too many watts, ASIC can be 'green', mine while you use you're computer.  

It is a good angle.  Plus, the antminer u2 can be bought in bulk of 500?  Maybe we GROUPON'it?

We also need more ideas on what this coin can actually be used for we either need way more people willing to rent out their rigs for ASC or find a distributor willing to accept it as payment for ASICS.......in fact I can fulfill that need I will start sel ling Gridseed orbs for ASC on the forums here
we rent rigs for ASC
like this, have thought this too  
In fact it is the perfect idea  Grin


Quote
.....ok so we need to come up with hard targets for max coins payout rate and halving schedule I'm thinking 210 million coins (x10 the amount of bitcoins) premine or no premine? Premine would be used for nothing other than initial bankrolling of ASICS to sell for ASC I.e. A buildup of ASC infrastructure. Payout of 102.4 initial per block halving at block 50,000 etc etc or does somebody have a better idea because I'm open to it

Not sure if I follow.  We change the algo to less max coins?  Please inform.

Also, we'll be looking at fixing the dump rate on coins.  One of the things hurting the price is that the volume in trades and applications cannot overcome the daily production.  Dialing that back would help the price tremendously.

I'd be looking at releasing a new economic structure in the next few weeks.

Your thoughts?

Are you speaking of changing the specs?

Quote
Total Coins: 21 million ( 19.8 million coins by Year8 )
Reward = 25coins/60secs (not sure if correct)
daily production = 36,000 coins
https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1180-ocoin-osc-information/

If you are considering reducing the POW reward, I am in favor of that.  Wink

Reason being that OSC functions better as 'store of value coin' than it does as a 'consumer spending coin'.  But the block speed still allows OSC to be a pretty darn good 'spending coin'.  Just that the market is rather full of 'consumer spending coins'.  [doge, digibyte, zeta, Quark]

So if reward payout is scaled down, then OSC functions even better as 'store of value coin' and the max POW mine-able timeline is extended.
