1321  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Santoshi lurking on Bitcointalk forum? on: November 10, 2018, 12:44:36 PM
I doubt it. He suddenly gone in 2010 without any sign or notice. I think he's either wants to completely detach from Bitcoin or dead.

But let's say that he does lurk here, given how the overall discussion quality on this forum, I imagine he would only read the technical section Cheesy

It's very interesting reading his last four days on here.   He was extremely active on Dec 9th to 11th, 2010 and then on the 12th, his last post says:

"There's more work to do on DoS, but I'm doing a quick build of what I have so far in case it's needed, before venturing into more complex ideas. "

What are the cheapest coins you can buy right now with real teams?
I think that is ETH. It is totally underrated now. They are likely to grow three times as fast in 2019 as the economy recovers. When the US stops war with China, you will see the market grow strongly. So take advantage of this opportunity to buy cheap.


It's funny how I go for trading microcaps that have double digit gains all the time, but forget about dollar cost averaging the big coins.

There are a lot of people that responded to my SilentFilm Token that may be interested in this coin too. Also, a lot of new exchanges listing for free.  This is a coin that deserves to live.

I stopped working on my token for a while but will do another Christmas airdrop.

hey how are ya?

i love silent films. many of the comedies were still playing when i was a kid in the late 60's early 70's. i just recently downloaded a copy of nosforateu, lon chaney's phantom of the opera, and the most complete version of metropolis to date.

i'll check out your token as well. Smiley

Hi there!
I'm very good, how are you?  Thanks for checking it out.
I've been on Nitrateville.com since 2011, it's the main silent film site.
Those are great films you mentioned.  There are over 10 silent sci fi movies on youtube.

such as:

My recent favorite is A Message from Mars

Since cryptopia is delisting this coin is there any other exchange that has this coin? I do not have a account on NoveExchange and I think the signup is not open.

Novaexchange has it but deposit is disabled, but that might be because they do not provide service now for US citizens.

The dev was active for a long time, then he didn't respond to my last message.  He hasn't been posting in here for a while.  There is no dev or slack, I believe.

want to try this coin as you still have 50% PoS as of now but checking the mac wallet -



better be safe than sorry. maybe a lot are false positives but dont want to risk...lazy to compile my own. the doge market is getting better though

I checked it on a server separated from the network and confirm that there is a trojan in the code. Advise everyone to beware and not to download this. A very big chance that instead of working out and reviewing technology you will lose all your money.

Why aren't these miner warnings and a trojan warning? 
1329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / What can a trojan in a wallet do and how? on: November 08, 2018, 06:45:06 PM
I am wondering what can a trojan in an altcoin wallet can do to a computer and how it does it.   How would having something like Avast running protect or not protect the computer.
1330  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Coinex largest trade volume, who are they? on: November 08, 2018, 03:28:00 PM
There are alot of suspicious activities going on on most of these new exchanges, since the launch of trade mining it is a very difficult issue to know the amount of volume on these exchanges that are actually real, if I were you I won't trade there until I know my funds are safe on those exchanges

Often they take for free listings coins that have small teams but are still good coins with honest people.   It's your only bet if you don't currently want to spend the money for the listing fee.  Some will probably build up trust in time.  You can get in and get out, and maybe reward them for listing your coin by doing a some trading there.
1331  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Why Beauty Matters on: November 08, 2018, 03:20:26 PM
One of the reasons for that is that we like certain things. It can be taught but it can also be deep inside our nature. For instance, most people don't like very bright colours and prefer balanced pictures, shapes, buildings. There's even research on balance in people's faces and its influence on how we recognize beauty.
Beauty matters, but what really is beauty if not shapes and colours put in the right order?

People like bright colors in certain situations and not in others. Bright red and yellow are popular colors for cars and summer clothing.

Symmetry and order is mainy taught and appeal particularly to conservatives. Primitive societies and toddlers are not particularly concerned with order.

People like patterns as a way of making sense of the world. People often see patterns even where there are none.

Symmetry in terms of faces and human bodies indicate health.

People like order in terms of control and skill but people also like chaos. People like being independent, creative and adventurous.



Largely, there is no abstraction "people."  Some people like the opposite of what other people like. I would disagree with your last sentence.
Many do, but probably more don't. 
1332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Golfcoin - New management and website on: November 08, 2018, 10:04:33 AM
So the fucking golf coins currently listed for sale are seriously the new coins? seriously?

There's no Dogecoin market and the price should be 1/10th (I think that's right ...) of what it's listed for currently at 1 satoshi. Once this is fixed I'm interested in buying a few.

There is no trading action without a Doge market.  I was making money trading this coin before.  

The only way a coin like this can now move is with an active dev team.  Perhaps coin names will become like domain names in the near future.

wow is dvrs still trading, i thought this coin died long ago?

There is an active Dev team.    I'm not vouching for anything, but they look legit.  I don't see any signs of a cash grab.

yes do you have a link?   or any more information

You have to join the discord channel.

I wonder if there's enough COMMUNITY SUPPORT to bring LAMBO coin back to life? Especially before Wall Street gets involved with crypto... the influx of $$$$ coming into the crypto space might spread everywhere


I am overbooked with projects.  I am staking the coin but I want someone else to step up and do something.

Hey dev, when does work start? There's been no news for a long time. What should investors expect?

devs been offline for awhile. I gave up on this a long time ago as it was just hold, swap repeat


In simple words, it can be called a scam. However nothing surprising! Something went wrong from the start.

Too bad they may take down a cool name for a coin.


Looks like maybe now it's a different Mojo coin.  Mojo from SCTV.

Standards of beauty have pretty much stayed the same for the majority.  For instance, most consider Renaissance paintings beautiful, ancient Greek and Roman sculpture also.  Van Gogh wasn't understood at first, but within about five years after his death he became highly collected.  Obscene art has always been seen as obscene historically except for a few people who think they are smart for saying they like it.

Based on what research ? Physical beauty and what is desirable is learned. Fat was beautiful in Victorian times until skinny became popular. Physical beauty is geographical. A beautiful woman or handsome man in India is different to what is considered a handsome man or woman in Denmark. Even desirable characteristics are different.  My sister went to see the Mona Lisa recently. There were long queues so they skipped it and looked at all the other amazing less famous paintings that others were walking past without looking. Famous musicians have played in public without barely a person stopping to listen.

It's just a simple observation that anyone can see in front of them.  One doesn't have to obscure it.  Also, people tend to combine things together and conflate the subject.  Because a person says something is "obscene" means X and Y.  Kind of a modern politically correct way to view things. I have about 30 college credits in art history, and have been writing on these topics since the 80s.  I'm glad the video I posted makes my points well enough.

That's why advertising, like getting mentioned in a book will help.  I hope someone can answer my question.  I believe there is a different difficulty with each coin.  So if you have x million Espers, it might stake X amount of times a week.  

5 million Espers, it might stake ? amount of times a week.  

1 million Espers, it might stake ? amount of times a week.  

This is a crucial utility aspect of the coin, same thing with the mining rush for Bitcoin and other coins, and yet a lot of devs of staking coins don't make it clear, nor the team able to answer the question.

I have written a short guide that contains some example calculations (for general POS) here: https://github.com/bitcoinx2/tutorials/wiki/Proof-of-Stake

Regardless of the actual amount that you have, you might (theoretically) stake between zero and [the amount of blocks in that timespan] times a week. It's probabilistic. On average though, you will always stake according to your fair share in the network. So if you have 0.1% of the network weight, you will stake every 1000th block. Espers block time is 5 minutes, but only 50% of the blocks are POS, so the effective target is 10 minutes. One week is 7 days * 24 hours * 6 POS blocks per hour = 1008. So with 0.1% of the network weight you will stake roughly once a week on average. Sometimes multiple times a week, sometimes with a break of multiple weeks.

The last time I checked the network weight it was at maybe 6 billion so 0.1% of that would be 6 million. Hope that helps.  Wink

Yes, thanks.  I always appreciate your posts and merited you for it.
