Nominations closed here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5003387.msg45195899#msg45195899

There will always be people that missed out on the list but there will only be one winner anyway (and a second and third).

LOL - I wish I was as smart as Vod.


Nominations are now closed

There will always be people that missed out on the list but there will only be one winner anyway (and a second and third).

Now working on creating the poll.

List so far:


Nominations closing in 5 minutes.

The "to the moon" series is in my opinion the nicest one closely followed by the Labyrinth.

To the Moon’ Denominations:
‘two bitcoins‘ Limited Edition of 21 (serials 01-21)
‘500,000 bits‘ Limited Edition of 100 (serials 01-100)
‘100,000 bits‘ Limited Edition of 250 (serials 01-250)

Sigh.... 2017 - when bitcoin was still so much cheaper.


They actually call it the 100,000 bits bar.

There was only one additional person on your list that wasn't nominated yet. - I've added him.

Once nominations close I will make a poll that will allow for voting. It will be a tough choice because there isn't anyone on the list that doesn't deserve to be nominated. But I've decided who I'm voting for already.  

Entertainment and humor is an interesting topic. Preferred styles of humor can be very regional.  I did find the Pajeet Nagesh021 vs PEEMAN (TMAN) thread entertaining but have a preference for a more subtle style of humor.

I've edited it so he will never know.  

I'll leave nominations open for another 10 hours and then make the poll.

List so far:


(I'm keeping this for further reading too)  

Can someone please also check that I got the alts right (Alt accounts are listed with a / inbetween)

I don't think he has read the whitepaper.

Great to see a small efficient unit being produced.

Likewise - I have a moonlander2 - it is the only machine I won't have to relocate due to excessive noise when my wife gets back from her trip.

100 Watt units make absolutely great small space heaters. Gblades were great for keeping mold from damp places but they just became too uneconomic to run..

They are also ideal for mining small odd-ball coins networks as a larger miner just pushes up the difficulty.

Smaller miners keep their value better than larger ones as it is more for hobby  mining rather than for profit.

I wish I had done some more unprofitable mining because while I was mining some shitcoins for twice their costs they shot up from 10 sat to 200 sat during the December crypto mania. (Buying the on the market would have pushed the price up - so mining wasn't that uneconomical)

I think the people that are complaining about the ROI don't realize that these units are ideal for hobby miners.

Because Trump is a serving president embroiled in controversy. People close to him  George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort and Rick Gates all have been charged / convicted of crimes. Some of those crimes benefited Trump.

Hillary Clinton is no longer in a position of authority. A "has been". Just like people don't write about George W Bush anymore.

The only people that would be interested in Hillary are the people that want to deflect attention from Trump. I doubt that Democrats are googling Hillary. Really - Hillary's computer is old news -  it got boring during the election already. Jared has done almost the same thing. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ivanka-trump-jared-kushner-emails-security-clearances-revoked-democrats-latest-a7986541.html

I've never been to the USA so a lot of American political antics don't affect me but I know he will leave a big mess behind. He breaks relationships with other nations and then expects credit for partly patching it up again.

He might have drained the swamp - but have you ever seen the creatures a freshly drained swamp attracts ?

The attack on the media and now on google I see as an assault onto journalistic speech. That is a worry in any country.

I agree that politicians generally are not to be trusted. It is the only occupation where you can advertise lies and not get shut down by the authorities for false advertising.

You won't have to spend a cent. Explaining it would spoil it. https://www.howeycoins.com/index.html

https://www.howeycoins.com/index.html try and buy some coins and you will see why the FTC won't prosecute them either.

I can absolutely guarantee that the organisation that created this ICO is 100% legit and that it is approved by the SEC.

The SEC will not prosecute them for anything.

I'm not sure why you doubt this ICO. There is nothing in the scam section about it.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 If you want to FUD you should do it there.

Google and facebook are data sluts. They suck up all our personal information. So - I don't trust them.

I also don't trust any research that is being touted by Trump. He is the type of person who will make up stuff and misuse info for his own agenda and has been caught doing so numerous times.

Research is only reliable if people have been able to check it over. Anyone can finance a study to say anything.

I'm not sure what the obsession is with Clinton but it is no longer a campaign trail. Trump is the serving President . Clinton is not even a federal employee.





No exciting results here.

Edward (Eddie) Mandell (CEO) does look a bit like a young Joey Tribbiani  
I'm not sure who the person in the middle is - he might be the captain of the boat that they are on.
I think the person you introduced as Satoshi is Tim Chen (CMO APAC)



Eddie and German Tanov (Marketing Strategist)

Always create separate email addresses for exchanges. Also don't link your mobile phone number to the email address as it can often be used to get a password or account reset text. Phone-jacking is getting more common. Often only the ESN number of the phone is required to get the number ported to another phone.

Inspired by Jet Cash with is topic How can we stimulate Bitcoin Talk? and Vods Most recognised on Bitcointalk

I stated thinking about what posts I enjoy the most reading here. What do I find the most entertaining ? Humor certainly is at the top of the list.

Then I started thinking - who is the most entertaining person on bitcointalk ?

Only criteria is that the account is currently active.

So I've decided to run a poll - but first require some nominations.

Based on humor I nominate:

I'm not a developer and I haven't seen anything like it described anywhere. I believe it is a concept that could potentially solve some of the problems regarding anonymity, centralized coin exchanges, trust and cost of exchange listings for new coins and tokens. The idea would work great as an open source creative commons project.

WalletSwap could work as an alternative to atomic swaps. Atomic swaps use a method of hashed timelock transaction and is a brilliant idea and would have applications beyond what wallet swap would be capable of.

WalletSwap literally swaps the wallets and also removes the need for trust. It has one key advantage - it is super simple. It eliminates the need for actual wallets - since the keys can potentially be imported to a private wallet.

It is not intended as a solution for every situation. It would be an easy to deploy peer to peer vending machine for coins.- supplementary to other exchanges.

The users only receive the private keys if they cancel the wallet or a completed sale is confirmed by the network as well as both the buyer and the seller.

The application can be built to be part of a blockchain or a side chain.

How “WalletSwap”  works:

Each party has an client application that generates public and private keys.

Each party application sends a signed message and public key to the network to initiate the process.

A wallet is created by the network.  The wallet address is disclosed to the party that initiates the transaction and this address is used to deposit coins.
The client application allows the user to set the sale price. It also contains funtions to “alter price’, “purchase from dex (buy)”,“withdraw and cancel” and “confirm sale”. More functions could be added.

Rather than have a fee based on the size of the transaction – each message sent carries a small fee.

Party “A” sends the required amount to the wallet that was initiated by his client application and generated by the network. and “sets the price”.

Party “B” agrees to the price and sends the required amount to the wallet that was initiated by his client application and generated by the network.

The network checks for network confirrmations on each blockchain and when confirmed sends a message to the users to “confirm” the transaction. The application can be set to “auto cornfirm” and rely on the network check or the user can manually check the transaction of the other party on the blockchain. (This could be set to manually confirm as well in a simple setup)

Once both client applications confirm the transaction the client application process is locked and the transaction can no longer be cancelled.

Party “A” receives the private key to party “B”s wallet from the network.

Party “B” receives the private key to party “A”s wallet from the network.

If however prior to confirmation either party cancels the transaction – cancelling the transaction allows the party to withdraw the funds from their wallet. The process is locked and the party receives their wallet private key.

So if party “A” cancels their transaction before it is confirmed by both parties. Party “A” receives the private key to party “A”s wallet. Wallets are once only use. Once a private key is disclosed it is no longer available for use on the system.

The user can use the public key on the integrated wallet of the client application or export the private key data to an external wallet.

Funding for the Dex process can be from a user token wallet that requires payment for “generating a wallet address”, “altering price”, “confirming the sale” or “cancelling the transaction”. Each being a signed and encrypted message sent to the network.

A wallet swap dex can have a smart contract that allows coin developers to set up their own vending system. This allows the wallet swap dex to operate as a vending machine for new coins and tokens.

A coin developer would set the prefix of their wallets and nodes for their block explorer. It would make coin developers responsible for their own coin network. It would also eliminate issues for coin developers where exchanges are sometimes slow to update their wallets.

The client application could contain a custom coin wallet or it can just provide a private key that can be imported into the coins own developed private wallet.

It could be used for lots of other potential purposes as well.

Escrow of crypto securities
Derivative trading

Wallet swap would allow the “vending machine” to be integrated into any coin networks website. Allowing new coins or tokens to have their own instant exchange site.

Because the exchange only requires a wallet address to be generated – it would automatically be able to be used by the majority of coins that use a qt wallet.

WalletSwap could take the form of a clunky basic service that just swaps the private keys or more elaborate form that incorporates its own wallet for each coin it is capable of exchanging.

For the purpose of the illustration I have called the blockchain that performs the WalletSwap process "dexcoin".



I have some other variations of this model as well but I was keen to see if there was any interest in such a process.
