so other than a few issues I think its fair to say this was a good launch.
Agreed. I never got a single orphan. And there was a very small premine for very reasonable bounties. I would correct the OP to the correct block that coins were awarded though. |

I only see one wrong.
The government taking money by force? You mean taxes? Yes, that is the definition of taxation. Close, but an incomplete definition. A tax is a pecuniary burden laid upon individuals or property owners to support the government [...] a payment exacted by legislative authority." It "is not a voluntary payment or donation, but an enforced contribution, exacted pursuant to legislative authority" and is "any contribution imposed by government [...] whether under the name of toll, tribute, tallage, gabel, impost, duty, custom, excise, subsidy, aid, supply, or other name. Money provided by taxation has been used by states and their functional equivalents throughout history to carry out many functions. Some of these include expenditures on war, the enforcement of law and public order, protection of property, economic infrastructure (roads, legal tender, enforcement of contracts, etc.), public works, social engineering, subsidies, and the operation of government itself. You only include the burden in your definition, not the benefit. The benefit can be achieved without the force. Wow, I just did a calculation and if you work 40 hours a week for 4 weeks @ $8/hr you only get $1,200.
And that's before taxes. And the other state and federal withholdings. To say nothing of the 5-10% of your money that gets sucked away every time you buy something (unless you live in New Hampshire) Somewhere we both can probably agree however, is that certain types of taxes are immoral or wrong. A sales tax being one of those. taxes are immoral, and wrong. I disagree on both counts. And therefore, there isn't much left to debate. You seem to have taken a position that is ideological/philosophical in nature. I have taken one that is based in the realities of the world we live in. |

Please try reading. I was agreeing with you that the workers are owed money for work. Again, that is called "pay." And, again, I clearly recall getting a paycheck when I worked at Walmart. They even cashed it for me.
And how much did you get paid if you worked part time? Say, a 90 year old woman who says hello at the door for 4-8 hours 3 days a week? And what benefits did you get? And how many part time employees worked there? Well, I'm not a 90 year-old woman, and I didn't say hello at the door part time. I worked in the freezer, pulling apart pallets and stocking the shelves. I don't recall the hourly rate, but it was significantly better than minimum wage, and I was able to support myself just fine. I don't recall all my bennies, either, but I do know I had a 401(k) through them. I think I had health insurance, too. I only see one wrong.

We'll give the kids a coat (Education system)
Violent people or people who have been tricked get a coat (Military)
Politicians get coats (Public Service Salary)
Even Bankers get a coat (Bailouts)
But you're worried about the POOR guy getting a coat!?!?!??!?!?
Did you know most Wal Mart employees qualify for welfare? How bout you stop bitching at poor people, and tell Wal Mart to get THEIR employees off welfare. And they aren't the only ones.
Sounds about right. When the poor get money from the government it's called welfare. When the rich get money from the government its called a bailout. Two wrongs don't make one right. I only see one wrong. The government taking money by force? You mean taxes? |

Based on that description, it sounds...exactly like Devcoin. How will it be different from the existing currency?
imho it sounds more like another alt-coin with only changed constants + name and logo.. hope it has something better than "10 reasons why this coin is better" article You're wrong. Merged mining with LTC is a major innovation. |

Anyone else having trouble getting connections?
Did you add the two primary nodes? (First post has two to add to your conf file.) I only have two connections, but up to 6 so far. Also remember... There are not that many solo miners yet... (Pools are just one connection each... well, one for every connection they setup.) Assist the network by solo-mining... Assist other miners by pool-mining. That is the jist of it. (Pun intended.) I didn't realize this was such a little mined coin. I have three connections now, and yes I have the nodes added. I wonder why it didn't gain much interest. If many porn sites start to add it, it could have a decent value. |

The price is so low right now, it's hurting everyone. I'm not sure why it is so low. I know there were alot of mine and dumpers just because it was so high on coinchoose over the last month. But this is really one of my top 3 favorite coins. Would like to see it worth a little more.
BTW Nolo this was your 1000th post. Congrats! lol thanks. Wish it had been more well thought out.  |
