Nobody is asking you to reveal your secret. But the model does need to make sense. If, for instance, you can earn money on clicks, what do you need the Bitcoin investment for?

*cue hand waving*

MAGIC

*more hand waving*

It should hold its form once it's put together - there isn't a crimping tool as the aluminium wall is too thick to work with.

Did you order with the nut-and-bolt kit? Because then you can also use that to secure it, or the other option is to use some epoxy if you want a permanent-ish hold without the "ugly" nuts and bolts:)

Your order has shipped and is on its way to Kyrgyzstan, I'm not sure I understand the problem. If Thandiwe offered that as a choice it could have been been because your order was at the docks waiting for a vessel bound for that destination. Either way, your order only handed to customs ~6 weeks ago and has only been in transit for a few weeks. As I'm certain you're aware, the shipping method you chose had the transit timeline listed on the shipping method, so going back and checking the email received with your order will clarify that.

To get back to this. For those that missed it, over the past ~48 hours (from Saturday night our time) there's been a systemic attack of VertPay by smearing me and alluding that VertPay is a scam-by-association. While this is blatantly untrue, it would appear that the Vertcoin community as a whole either do not want this IPO to continue or are unsure and swing this way and that. Thus we have decided to shutter the IPO and switch VertPay back to the original focus on launching with several currencies.

You can read more about the decision here.

Those that are still interested in investing in their private capacity under similar terms to the IPO, please contact me via PM or using the details / form on the site. We will continue unabated and unstopped:)

Ironically it got moved to the Altcoin Marketplace sub after saying that...c'est la vie:)

Oh don't get me wrong - OTC has its place, I've done a ton of trades on #bitcoin-otc on Freenode over the last year or so. But for significant volume you need a proper exchange where you can setup buy and sell positions.

The point of an exchange is not to support rapid withdrawals, but to support rapid trades and shifting market positions. It's also important for the trade book to show cumulative positions at a rate, not individual positions (as the thread does), and for all those positions to remain anonymous (since the funds are already guaranteed by bing deposited).

To say a thread can handle it "better" misses the point - entirely - of an exchange.

I have a large number of open positions on the exchange, and I was literally the first deposit to clear (there were only two very small open positions on the exchange at the time). The trades are valid. Deposits are automated.

Withdrawals don't concern me if they are manual at this stage. TheKoziTwo is a known entity, and it is his exchange. Additionally, I spent a great deal of time trying to get a quick script I wrote to flush my mining wallet to my main wallet in chunks (to consolidate inputs), and I can tell you that the Bytecoin simplewallet RPC API is very borky. Documentation specifies a trailing slash on the RPC URL (incorrect), and hitting the "transfer" method comes back with a dsts.empty error from wallet2.h (when the destinations are not empty). So if the exchange is struggling with MRO automation I'm neither surprised nor worried.

If you've solved the simplewallet RPC API issues please do tell us so we can all benefit from your wisdom.

We didn't have a working multi-sig wallet for Vertcoin, and I'm not going to risk one person (including myself) having access to all the coins. Multi-sig (3 of 5 in this case) means that three out of five of us designated have to sign each transaction with our private keys. So to steal money from the company we'd need to collude with 2 other people. I don't underestimate the honesty of the people involved, but it's a protection mechanism so there's no temptation.

You're mistaken. We changed it quite soon after the announcement and long before there was backlash (not backslash) or any accusations were thrown around.

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=595754.msg6561541#msg6561541 for instance.

We did clarify that we would not be dumping most of the coins. We have made progress on multi-sig in Electrum Vert, and so we will be using that to secure funds. A portion of the VTC will be shifted into a BTC multi-sig wallet just to minimise any multi-sig risk (although we will have the multi-sig privkeys in WIF format, so funds cannot be lost even if we struggle with the multi-sig stuff;) but we won't be dumping VTC.

That's really not the consensus at all. You sound like the guys that said Moolah was a scam...and yet here we are with Moolah being held up as an example of legitimacy against VertPay. Everyone needs to make their own mind up.

lol


You can't honestly point to articles on a site you own and expect us to take it seriously?


I don't think you know what Wall Street is. I think you may be trying to claim that you're the NASDAQ for Bitcoins, which is beyond laughable.

That's utter nonsense. It is a known risk if you have a hot wallet in play, and trying to hide the risk shows that you are not ready for an investment of any kind.

What if you lose the private key or you get hacked when the coins are in your wallet? It's naive to promise this, and if you're not smart enough to present realistic risks to investors you're not smart enough to seek funding.

What did I just read.

That thread is hilarious, but your reasoning is still nonsensical. I've disagreed with pankkake before (on the subject of altcoins) and he's called me an idiot and I've told him he's wrong. So what? I'm not in school where everyone has to be lovely to each other. I'm an adult, he's an adult, any conversation with two thinking adults that don't agree on a topic may get heated. If you can't adequately defend yourself in public you don't deserve to run a business - any business - much less one seeking outside investment.

We're getting paid by a French competitor? I've checked my PayPal, various crypto wallets, as well as my bank accounts, and I can't find any payments from a Frenchman or that are unrelated to my businesses. Can you point me in the direction of this payment so I can cash out and live the high life?

Have you considered that maybe - possibly - nobody's getting paid to say anything negative, and all the negativity is because you're simply full of nonsense? Just a thought. Use it, don't use it.

You don't have to pay the fee unless you have a specific reason to (institutional investor, etc.)

Just use a brokerage like CoinBr (which is cheap as chips), here's my referral link: https://coinbr.com/ref?c=M1rswGFFjv

I didn't know it was "a thing" either. It looked vaguely familiar and I did a reverse image search. Trying to explain it thusly just makes the operator look incompetent rather than scammy, which I'm not sure is a step up.
