You can use it, change it, mint it or do whatever you want with it.

ok let's assume this story is real.

You were +-20 when you went high to work? Got busted and they fired you.
And now you are 21 and have 1oz gold and 6000$.

If people want to donate money for that, can those people donate to me too, when I was 21 I had less than him and I was high all the time between my 16 and 21, even when I had a student job in vacation I smoked something before work and in my breaks (sometimes with co-workers). Never realized how horrible I had it a few years ago, I thought I had a pretty fun and normal youth but after reading this story it was actually hell. Lots of my friends had the same shocking experiences, guess I better tell them to also open a topic.

Your turning 22, you'll find another job, it's not like you got to tell on a job interview you got fired because you came high at work, just give them another reason. And else go work freelance for bitcoins. Most people aren't millionaires at the age you are. So why the fuck is this worth a donation, you tell this story like your life ended, while it is something lot's of people went through besides the bitcoin part. Huh

My niece had a car accident at +-180km/h when she was just turned 18, survived it but couldn't walk anymore and her brains only functioned for 50% anymore, killed herself a few years later...
and you whine because you lost your job in a country that has perfectly good solutions for that and you are not rich at least you still have a future, she probably would have gladly traded places with you.

now assume this is a scam.
This really is the saddest you could come up with?
No baby with a terminal disease, no heroine, prostitute yourself to earn your bitcoins back,...

Zelf heb ik hier geen interesse in nee, Engels of Nederlandstalig, ik zie er mij niet zo snel gebruik van maken.

Zie wel het voordeel van deze diensten in, zie mijn ouders bv al niet met wallet bestanden in de weer, laat staan dat ze deze kunnen beveiligen.
Voor mensen als hun is zo'n dienst dan weer ideaal en dan zou ik wel eerder een account voor hun maken bij een Nederlandse dienst waarvan de gegevens bekend zijn ja. Ideaal zou zijn als ze dan ook gelijk via die site hun bitcointegoed kunnen aanvullen met hun bankkaart, vermoed dat dit de opzet wel zal zijn van bitonic.nl.

Hi everyone,

First of all, I am sorry some of you do not like the design. This is not a final design and it may be tweaked by the time I get everything lined up with the manufacturer and the money to make them. This ended up being much more expensive than I thought... $7000+ just for the first 1000 coins (the security hologram is the expensive part.) Because it is so expensive, I will only carry one or two coins at the start, and no silver coins at all. Hopefully I can expand my selection shortly after launch, but it just depends on many uncontrollable factors.

I am not going to lie and say I am some expert photo shopper/3d guru like some of the people who have made the coins you guys are posting. But, I'm not too into copying anyone, perhaps those guys would like to actually make those coins one day... who am I to steal their design? At least the LTC logo which I have used is fair game.

Although I am not an expert in coin minting, I have an everlasting enthusiasm for the future of Litecoins, the work ethic to make this project happen, and (hopefully soon) the funds to do it. I hope that I can make these in a way that most people will like them (if not I stand to lose a lot of money.)

Thank you all for your feedback, you can be sure that I have read what you all have to say and am considering everything mentioned.

As soon as I have any updates on this project, I will let ya'll know.

Thanks,

Ch
The face value seems to me hard to choose.
If its $7000+ for 1000 coins, you can't take the value too low, because if you make a 1ltc coin and people need to pay 4ltc for it they will be less inclined to buy them than if it's a 25ltc coin they pay 28ltc for. But too high and you get the trust issues.  Undecided

I understand why you don't want to take someone else his design Smiley

"Only invest time or money into Bitcoin that you can afford to lose"
Seems the only correct advice someone can give  Huh

I would be more offended if he would have said "sell everything you have, borrow as much as you can and put it all in Bitcoin  Cool"

BTC ~= Gold!  (factorial)
LTC ~= Silver!

I don't see any problem / issue.  Just evolution into the future.

If it's to hard to understand the gold-silver comparison, I don't think this person would understand btc and buy them. The part that more cryptocurrencies exist just like metals is probably the easiest part to understand. Undecided

Het zijn geen aandelen en zal net zo behandeld worden als elk ander iets wat je verkoopt.

En dan is het:
Quote
Om te bepalen wie precies belastingen moet betalen op zijn verrichtingen en een btw-nummer dient te hebben, biedt de fiscus ook een aantal criteria aan. Zo wordt uitgegaan van een basisbedrag van 5.580 euro. Wie in een jaar tijd minder omzet maakt, kan volgens het BTW-wetboek als 'kleine onderneming' worden vrijgesteld. Een bijkomend criterium is echter ook de regelmaat van transacties. Wie één auto van 20.000 euro verkoopt, is niet belastingplichtig. Wie elk jaar twintig auto's van 1.000 euro verkoopt, is dat bijvoorbeeld wel.

Wat ik daaruit kan opmaken is, maandelijks een 1000euro aan bitcoins verkopen en laten uitbetalen is een slecht idee. In 1x 12000euro laten uitbetalen stelt niemand zich vragen bij en moet je ook niet aangeven.

I don't care about economic issues. Quality of life is my concern.
True, but a country with a good economy makes the quality of your life much better. If you need to work 14 hours a day so you can have just enough food, I don't think you will love it. So yes I prefer a country with a healthy economy to live in. Even if I would have enough money, I would not want to live in a country knowing most of the other people have it bad there.
489  Other / Off-topic / Re: USA vs EUROPE on: April 08, 2013, 08:58:07 PM
Europe has lot's of differences between the country's so I think some places in the usa are better and some are better in Europe.

But I don't think I will ever move to the USA, me and my wife probably move to Norway in the near future, we totally felt in love with this country, the people are really nice, low crime rate, good economy and it's so beautiful, good thing is that it's Europe but doesn't belong to the EU.

We now live in Belgium, the only thing I can say that is good is the beer and food, taxes are 60% of your wage and we have taxes for things you can't imagine and you get absolutely nothing in return. Everything is grey, boring and dirty, since we have the Euro it actually was one big ride downwards. My parents had it good here, but I really can't see a future for myself here.

Lived a while in The Netherlands too, but can't say it is better or worse, actually I didn't noticed much difference besides the roads that are way better, taxes are lower but housing and healthcare is way more, and I can't say the future looks bright for it either.

Why would they lie about having 1/10th of the total bitcoins in circulation, I can't imagine a Nigerian would scam you, go for it  Smiley

While you are there, could you pick up a inheritance for me? They mailed me, some dude wants to give it to me.

ok these are cool and visualize a cryptocurrency pretty good, but don't know if it will scale well to a normal coin size and can be made with that amount of detail.

Maybe one thing that the coin also should have in my opinion, the year it was minted.

They are all the same size and only recently started doing different colors/metals (well, recently in the sense that they were all the same for a long time).
They were all different from the beginning  Embarrassed
But he started with only 2, the 1 and 25, I think this is the best way to go, one small and one bigger. And when you earned enough on those, you can start with more. Better 2  or even 1 really good coins than 5 meh coins.

I like the name by the way  Cool

495  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A strategy to attack LTC and make money meanwhile on: April 07, 2013, 09:20:53 PM
So the plan is to sell your coins right before you destroy ltc?

great business plan, if a lot of people join you, you will get less than if you would just sold them without the 51% attack because everybody than sells them at the same moment. Afterwards you buy the then worthless coins back which will stay worthless, seems a way better plan than hold your coins and focus your energy on something that makes them more valuable.

And why would a botnet owner cooperate with you if he can make more money with mining and selling the coins. Your plan still needs a little bit rethinking.  Tongue

I'm not arguing that LTC can't be profitable. I'm arguing that LTC is vulnerable to malicious attack due to the way LTC handles mining. The fact that bot netting is profitable is the whole point.

You don't get that Bitcoin has survived for most of its life as a huge target for botnets. Botnets made a lot of $$$ off of bitcoin. If BTC can live through and even thrive with the existance botnets, then so can LTC.

I still remember solo mining on my old laptop cpu, costed me +-1 day to generate 50btc.
Botnets came pretty fast, btc survived pretty good. Wink
People seem to forget that litecoin actually travels the same path as bitcoin, first only cpu, than the gpu came (and now for btc ASICs). If you call it a flaw in litecoin it can't be mined on ASICs and botnets are profitable, than bitcoin was flawed too.
496  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] CoinHoarder's Physical Litecoins (Coming soon!!) on: April 07, 2013, 06:42:17 PM
Is it better with or without the numbers? (numbers are not perfectly centered yet)
Better with the numbers, only the 100, 500 and 1000 need more whitespace.

497  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] CoinHoarder's Physical Litecoins (Coming soon!!) on: April 07, 2013, 06:12:00 PM
Great, definitely going to buy them (I'm a sucker for these physical crypto coins  Grin)

Your last design is the best, and I think it will be nice in real form, if possible also do the 1's and 0's on the side like in that 3D model.

Only the typography could be a little bit better in my opinion . I don't like the proportions of the letters, seems like they are squeezed together and the alignment isn't perfect. But I suppose because it are only guidelines the designer working on the 3d will see this too.

For the value, I think the safest is to start with a plated one with not to many coins loaded. I don't have a problem to trust you right away with a small amount. But immediately buy for example a 1oz silver one with 1000ltc loaded on it seems a little bit too much and I think most people will. So start small like casascius did, and start to think about silver ones afterwards when they are a strong and trusted brand.

...ow and don't forget to make a typo in the first batch, lol  Cheesy
498  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin won't start - is my wallet f**ked? on: April 06, 2013, 03:54:44 PM
If you wipe everything and reinstall with a new wallet does it run?
Did you also tried to install it somewhere else than on this usb stick?

seems like the same problem as here, only in this topic it is with bitcoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89639.0

I don't think your litecoins are lost, I just would try it on a different disc, other os, ...

Officiële legale content aan een goedkope prijs, met hetzelfde gemak als torrents, geen beperkingen en op releasedatum, ja

Aangezien het eerste redelijk lastig word om voor elkaar te krijgen vrees ik dat het nee word, zie niet direct een voordeel tov torrents voor mijzelf.
