Most of them are Jews-owned, or leftist-owned, and so are just pure propaganda. Some nice medias are not controlled. They're all from far-right.

This pretty much sums up what I'm about to say. The main point is, no media is not independent. It is as corrupt as any crooked government.

I'm scared actually. What if miners start to unload more coins per month in order to pay bills? They will have to because their reward is smaller.

I don't know why you don't appreciate the free education I give you.

Because I don't need it? Try to be positive from time to time, it won't hurt you.

That's ironic coming from a person who's promoting Failcoin. lol Smiley

I'm only joking. Counterparty looks good.
10565  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should i? on: June 12, 2016, 01:14:18 PM
Should i sell my alt coins ? coz block halving is in just 29 days and i think if i sell all my coins now then i could be able to make some good profits after halving (fiat) am i wrong?



Holding BTC makes the most sense while it's rising. I don't know why anybody would be holding altcoins right now. Best to trade to BTC now, then trade back to altcoins later.

All alt/btc are going down, so meaning you will be able to be more of your favorite altcoin in the future.
10566  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think of Breakoutcoin? on: June 11, 2016, 12:31:37 PM
The BRO coin uses two algorithms, Proof of Work (PoW) & Proof of Bergstake. Bergstake is like Proof of Stake – but not… Sort of. More on that later.

Breakout has the backing of poker all-stars Johnny Chan, Huck Seed, Jennifer Harman, Ted Forrest, Todd Brunson and Vladimir Shchemelev. That’s over 38 World Series of Poker bracelets in case anyone was keeping score.


Currently 1BTC = 6,000 BRO.

But remember, they professional poker players and not developers.  So it's not a guarantee that the project will be a total success.  Maybe some of them have good business acumen, but they are gambling degenerates mostly.  Check their history on prop bets and you'll be surprised.

Having said that, why not post who the developers they're working with are and their credentials in and out of crypto.  Although some experience with working as a dev in a legit crypto project should be a must.

The dev's info is on this page http://www.breakoutcoin.com/about-us/

Is that dev the same owner of CryptoCertify? Look at the coins he "certified" https://www.cryptocertify.com/coins/

Maybe he is Bobsurplus.

10569  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The DAO FAIL on: June 09, 2016, 10:22:47 AM
This is a good opportunity for other devs to create their own DAO. Maybe Lisk devs should start creating one. This is a massive opportunity to get a better one out in the market.

What advice can you give to someone who wants to earn bitcoins online ,however not through faucets

Get a job and save some of your pay to buy BTC. That's the only best way I know of when starting out.

10572  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Question about the Waves platform's tokens on: June 08, 2016, 01:27:56 PM
Hi Wind_FURY! Here are two quotes from mx:

"Waves is the blockchain transport layer with Waves token being the fuel of the entire platform,

Transaction fees, issuance fees and all other platform fees?

Quote
used everywhere in the middle while doing different operations"

Bridge currency on built in exchange?

Did I understand it correctly?
10573  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Question about the Waves platform's tokens on: June 08, 2016, 01:02:29 PM
What would the WAVES coins-tokens be in the platform? Will it be straight up used only for staking and maybe as 'fuel' for transcation fees? Or is it like Ripple where the tokens can be used as a bridge currency in the built in exchange?

Follow up question. What exchanges will Waves be listed?

10574  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hoskinson joins LISK, remember his rant about Waves? on: June 08, 2016, 12:54:48 PM
Charles Hoskinson - a character known by some ppl in this scene - recently stirred up a huge drama saying that Waves is stealing his company's work,

now he was added to LISK as senior advisor.


Popcorn


~CfA~

It's a mix up in Hoskisnson's own company.  And that dev from his company is onboard Waves as a consultant.  And no one is stealing anything from anybody, the code is open source.
10575  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about Bitcoindark and Supernet? on: June 08, 2016, 10:29:27 AM
I strongly invested into Bitcoindark and Supernet almost one year ago. I have expected a release of Supernet, InstantDex and Pangea soon when I invested in these items 11 months ago. The expectations have not fulfilled yet. I am currently thinking about to sell my stakes of BTCD and Supernet but I am not really sure about it. For that reason, I would like to know your opinion. Is it worth to hold these stakes?

Just stay away if you're not invested or slowly sell them without upsetting the price if you're holding them. You are missing the opportunity to invest in other more profitable prospects. Looking at github they have been working on these projects but without any solid results yet. So it might better to wait until they have something to show for and check of their assets are worth to invest in.

Just my 2c.
10576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How is Rise not a scam? Team way under qualified. on: June 08, 2016, 10:13:41 AM
Their ICO is not really looking good. One month into the ICO and they only collected just over 600 BTC. I don't know how much their burn rate will be but that wouldn't be enough to last them 2 - 3 years in my opinion. They should spend some of that ICO money and do some more and better marketing.
10577  Economy / Speculation / Re: Max Price of Bitcoin After Halving on: June 08, 2016, 09:56:42 AM
If I was forced to guess, I would say BTC max price after the halving could reach $750 then go back down to 500 - 600. I'm no expert but that would be my best guess.  A realistic figure of where BTC could go.
10578  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Both Poloniex and YoBit are down! on: June 08, 2016, 02:10:02 AM
It's not surprising that YoBit are not tweeting about their issue, but it is strange for Poloniex! Are they both under DDoS attack or we are facing Armageddon here?

Althogh it was far from altcoin armageddon, exchanges have no excuse when they go offline. What kind of an online exchange allows that to happen? That's a red flag in my book. Albeit a minor one, but still a red flag. They should do better.
10579  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Lisk making a move on: June 08, 2016, 01:16:45 AM
I think LISK will continue to go up for the next few weeks and crash like any other altcoin as soon as btc halvening effects kicks in.

But Lisk have a huge community, It can be a clear signal of that it is different.



On the coat-tails of Ethereum we are seeing the next shitcoin wave salted with "smart" contracts:
Lisk (= Crypti pig + lipstick), Expanse ("b'cause we can"),  Uther ("fair premine for the developers  copy cats") ...
Remember BTC -> LTC -> FTC?




Barring the good intentions of the devs of these projects, yes. Sad but true. Ethereum ICO has shown that there's a market for smart contracts that people could buy into. Now every other dev wants to join the bandwagon and make lots of money. I am not saying that's bad, but it's the reality and nature of things. Plus a little competition between platforms is always good.

If there is a market for a new idea then 1st mover coin delivering that idea takes it all.
Me too copy cats are always growing slower than 1st mover.
At best copy cat shitcoins are a winning proposition for their "developers".

Code:
sed -i 's/parent_coin_name/copy_cat_name/g' *


does not bring innovation. But at least funny things can happen when fast & dirty copy cats are at work:

@chrisfranko https://github.com/expanse-project/go-expanse/blob/master/COPYING#L4
you can’t change the GPL copyright, only for individual new files that you add to your repository.
In expanse-project/go-expanse@d368397 commit you basically changed all headers from
"go-ethereum" to "go-expanse"
and you've changed the AUTHORS file to go-expanse.
Not only is this not true, this is also highly unfair to those that have contributed their time to the go-ethereum project.
I ask you kindly that you revert all these changes.

Péter Szilágyi @karalabe May 25 13:50
@obscuren lol Jeffrey Wilcke <jeffrey@expanse.org>

Jeffrey Wilcke @obscuren May 25 13:50
If you’d like to claim copyright to individual changed files please mody the header such that you’re credited
and rightfully copyrighted to the right places using Portions (c) go-expanse
lol
But don’t remove the current copyright
I suspect you did a grep on ethereum and replaced it all with expanse and that you’re not even awara of these changes.
Considering that I have an expanse email address I’m unaware of

...

Christopher Franko @chrisfranko May 25 18:14
@obscuren oh crap! Im very sorry. Yes thats exactly what happened, ill fix that in a little while for you.
Because you are completely right it would be unfair. ^_^ Also if you want I can forward that email to your ethereum email


https://gitte[Suspicious link removed]/ethereum/go-ethereum?at=574590206bbc2d1d4dedf355




That's dirty and funny at the same time because they are claiming what's obviously not theres. Devs today.
10580  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Augur competitor ...Gnosis on: June 08, 2016, 01:11:26 AM
The same can be said with Augur. They are only after the ICO funds, one can argue. There was a thread around here that states that Augur is a broken system and that the founders knew about this and yet continued and collected BTC thru their ICO. It was very technical but the evidence shown was very compelling.

Personally, I am waiting for Hivemind release.
