Local bitcoins is a good idea guys, but not very useful if you see a crash incoming and want to quickly move into fiat until it blows over. Bitfinix could be an idea... what juristiction do they fall under ?


Oh, there's no hate.

What there is though, is distrust. Very few people know who are behind that exchange. ( they hide behind many layers of shell companies ) The only thing stopping them from running away with everyone's coins and fiat is the fact that they are making plenty of money. But what if they get tired of it or they get hacked ? Since they can't be traced, they can just do whatever they want. I feel very uncomfortable leaving thousands of my dollars in their hands.

So are they autoexchanged or does the shop actually HOLD NLG ?

Hey that's pretty cool. How does it work though ? How can I pay right there in the shop ? I'd love to try.

Microguy is a crook. He bought up a fuckload of GLD after it crashed, and then made it his life's goal to draw in suckers to buy his stash.

First of all, I really like this attempt to restore some FUD free, troll free sanity to the altcoin section, bravo

I'm waiting to see what will happen to alts when the next big BTC rally comes on. I've noticed that the alts do very well when Bitcoin does well. Buying alts is almost like leveraging Bitcoin price movements. When Bitcoin does poorly, alts crash and burn. But where Bitcoin rises, boy oh boy. New blood flocks into the scene, and alts soar.

Now is a bad time to launch a new coin, if you want positive publicity and a growing market cap, wait until Bitcoint takes off again.

Thoughts ?

I like to keep my BTC away from the taxman. That means I won't use my real name in connection with my BTC anywhere.
It is, however, very hard these days to trade BTC - USD without providing proof of identity.

Solutions ?

I now use BTC-E but that place is so shady, I can totally see it simply go offline and disapear one of these days. They have 0 accountability.

The only way to do this is to ask someone that trusts you to send you money through paypal in exchange for BTC.
The reason the have to trust you is that you can reverse the transaction "chargeback".

I have a business partner who helps me out like this sometimes.

Note that paypal has to report money flowing into your account to the IRS though Above 2.5k euro, I believe

What are HAShLETS ?

Any ETA on Prozcoin hitting an exchange ? I'd love to buy me a couple of BTC's worth

I've heard a podcast about memory training from the world record holder of memory skills.
It's very doable to memorize a private key, in fact, there are people that can memorize 50 of them in just a couple of hours.

Im not in any way affiliated with this site, sharing it just for fun. If I had the time, i'd be ordering that course !

I'd name my kid Satoshi and keep the 150 btc for him or her to spend when he or she is 18 years old. And I won't tell my wife about it because well, she'd never allow it.

Nice logo for my new coin Thanks Do you make intros that are longer too ?

AltcoinAgent delivers quick and produces excellent work. I was suprised I got the quality I did, actually. there are many cheap coin producers right now but most deliver a buggy unstable product.

I've ordered another one from him, both for educational purposes. Really worth the 1.05 BTC I paid for it (I also ordered the sourcecode)

Great work AA!

Love it ! We should quote this on every page, and get this on social media. I saw Dogecoin already RT'd it, they have 7.5k followers....
I also retweeted it, and suggest everyone here to do the same.

Thanks ! And you're welcome

You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say they are sockpuppets because I don't agree with what they say.Are you familiar with the term "sockpuppet" ? It's an account made for the soul purpose of agreeing or disagreeing with someone. They are usually easy to spot because they post super low content posts and typically have low post counts.

What is a "member of the community" ? Someone who think they can get rich quick by buying an altcoin ? Someone who thinks they have a say in the direction of a coin because they bought $50 worth ? Or the people who spend months of their lives coming up with plans, connecting with other teams, sacrificing time they could have spent with their families ? Someone like you who comes into this thread and takes the time and effort to explain their thoughts ? There are shades of grey, but some people in this community CARE and put in effort, and others only want to make a quick buck, to hell with the future of Hirocoin.


As for my professionalism ; I'm now speaking solely for myself, no longer as a spokesman for Hirocoin.



What ? Were ? When ? Please quote me where I did that. One thing I always try to take care of is not rejecting people, but only tell them where I disagree with their standpoints or ideas. As far as I know, I've always said "We think" or "I feel that..." Never : "YOU ARE".
I'd like to think my communication skills are better then banishing people for saying what they think. If I really did that, I truly regret that and didn't mean too. I too am capable of being a dick though.    Kindly point out where I was, if you can.


Lol, thanks

Leading is hard because you have to make unpopular choices. If I had bent to every whim ( and get the rest of the team behind those choices !), we'd have a hardfork every two weeks, had pure PoS, 1000% interest per day AND coins somehow disapearing at the same time to deflate supply. Oh, and we'd have a casino, pay hookers with Hirocoin, have a harddrugs market place, and basically we'd be Darkcoin with a different name.

We need to have vision, limit ourselves  to what we think  is the right thing, or you're lost and without direction at all.

Hmm, Ok i'll  bite. One last time

I have an ethical compass that I follow. There is no such thing as "a little bit wrong" or "a little bit unethical" - "when your head is underwater, you drown". Im not changing my view of right and wrong because people ask me too.

The "fix" that a vocal minority ( and their sockpuppets ) keeps proposing is NOT a fix, messing with the inflation model is a short term bandaid that is going to cause more harm then good. Do some homework and look at other coins who have done this. Where are they now ? Nobody trusts them.  It's motivated by fear and greed, not wisdom. I rest my case.

If there truly was a majority of investors/speculators who wanted that and demanded it, I would have resigned from the team because of that.

Hiros are smarter than that though, and it's not the reason I'm handing over management of the forums and PR to Omar.

The simple reason that Hirocoin price is low is twofold : other coins are stealing the limelight because they are new and exciting, and altcoins have been in a decline for a while now. Simple as that. Every coin faces this. When BTC reaches it's peak and subsequently starts dropping,promising altcoins are going to go up, Hirocoin included. You may quote me on that.

Hirocoin either takes back it's place in the limelight or wait for more attention for altcoins in general.
