181  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: "Bottlecaps" or "Cap Currency" John Eden and the Johns and Team Vern on: July 08, 2013, 05:35:18 PM
...let me simply explain how i designed the marketing of Caps when i came up with the idea..

Man I'm getting SOO tired of this.  Your excitement was funny at first but it's old now, old.

You didn't DO it, it's not yours, staaahhhhhhhhppppp digitalindustry staaahhhhhhhhppp.

I think the only thing I've seen you post about NBL since CAP was released is a copy of the logo.

Your turning me off of both with your constant striving to get some credit or control of CAPs.

I'm not even going to bother to read what the actual OP is about. In fact most of the time my response has become "oh it's digitalindustry again" and I just unfocus my eyes and scroll on by.

Everyone who cares knows you "thought of it first" you've made damn sure of it. But you've passed the point where you look petty and resentful with this crap.

I also can't stress enough, my developing perspective is that you've completely tossed nibble aside to run around and try to be the boss of CAP.  Is that true, or not?

Let it go man, let it go.
182  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [IDEA] What about a coin that is for award-likes or commendations? on: July 08, 2013, 05:14:46 PM
Nah devcoin is different. It Only gives to developers. Im thinking something totally different.

I thought this before.  But apparently dev coin is for artists and freaks, too.

Totally aside from your point.

In order for the people you want to honor to accept your coin, there has to be some use or buy-in behind it , of a type you probably won't find here at bitcointalk.  I mean, if you randomly sent a physicist a reward certificate you printed out, he might get a chuckle from it, print it out, even appreciate it.

If you sent a physicist a letter saying "hey download and install this software, then send me your address so I can reward you with this token of my appreciation" that letter is probably going in the trash bin.

Do you have the resources to publicize it, maybe start a little foundation or something, and start pushing out word of the effort into scientific/academic circles?

I describe it like this because the other way is to make the coin, try and stir up a market or some value, then honor people with gifts from the market you have created, which they can turn into cash. 

Everyone will accept this, if they believe it's honest.  But then you have a long way to go making that market before some reward coins will bring academics from from tech-related fields into crypto. And the market has to be strong enough to support the "dumping" of the rewards as well or it will end up like devcoin in more ways than one.

So far this coin has been pretty funny.

I don't feel like typing this out again, so....


just gotta figure out how to convert it into a prime number


There is no "prime number". It appears the proof of work certificate is evidence that you identified a "prime chain" of acceptable type which is divisible by the block header hash.

How we extract the new primes from the Primecoin Blockchain?

Someone understands how this research the coin does can be obtained, it's not clear for me from the Primecoin whitepaper.

This is not research.  It's just busy work.


I hope Sunny is releasing soon an updated whitepaper or more details, I don't understand why so much silence.

The real explanation for this coin is on the PPCoin forums ...

Quote from: Sunny King
In a few years that chart would have many different types of proof-of-work, bitcoin's mining share would be further reduced. This means the relative security against 51% attack is  going to be weakened for each pure proof-of-work cryptocurrency.

Primecoin may help speed up this process, taking a significant piece of mining market while attracting a larger user base to both primecoin and ppcoin. I believe it could strengthen our positioning against litecoin and other potential competitions.

http://www.ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=288.msg1557#msg1557

The confusion surrounding the coin is very helpful to the goal, I think. Acting mysterious doesn't hurt any either.

If there was scientific value to it he would be proud and careful to explain it clearly...


Clicky Clicky go read the link.  That quote from sunny is just as "good" in it's full context.
184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: eMunie the only unique and interesting alt-coin out of all these sh*tcoins on: July 08, 2013, 09:25:18 AM
It's hard to remember sometimes, when we're caught up in our heads and the forum drama, that there's a real world out there.

Fuserleer, don't sweat it man, you're way out ahead of the field right now.

Nobody who wants to do real business with your product is worried about you making a buck off of it, and most of the clear heads here have seen that some coins in hand up front is a necessity for getting things done.

Same for the open source bit. 

Every time someone comes in this forum and talks about being the first to do something you and your team have done, I have a good laugh about it. Keep it up man.  Every person who ever visited this forum could hate on your coin, it's still going places.
185  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [eMunie] Latest update, lots of new features and improvements. on: July 08, 2013, 09:11:21 AM
Look!


Someone came out with the first alt-coin that isn't based on bitcoin today!

...To my knowledge, this toy coin is the first altcoin not based on the Bitcoin source (if we don't count Ripple)...

Depends on your definition of "alt coin".
187  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Mass Appeal Coin - SantaCoin on: July 08, 2013, 07:28:46 AM
I'm really surprised nobody is excited in the least about the idea of a mass market appeal coin.  I thought a sports coin or a religion based coin would excite some people but it's not happening.

So how about a benign mass market coin which isn't offensive to anyone - well, some people get offended by oxygen.

What about SantaCoin or SantaClauseCoin, as I have both domains?

It doesn't get more mass market or harmless than that?  Come on, there's gotta be better, way better ideas than naming a coin after a bird feather.  Yet feathercoin is worth nearly $1 million after less than 60 days.

Can't anyone see the earth shattering potential here for a mass market coin if it's launched right and marketed properly.  The potential is enormous.  Thanks for your voting efforts.


What say you?

How do you get from Jesus to Santa?

Maybe do both and then try to set up some sort of contest.

I think it's not a bad idea.  It's my secret weapon I'm going to come out with an altcoin that will have immediate mass adoption because of the name.  Every day I wait for someone else to think of it before I can start. But no one does.

Someone is coming very close Wink

But you are picking names that people get very emotional about.

It's ok if you make a jesus coin or a santa coin.  You just have to be ready for haters.  To be honest you could make "your mom coin" and every one would hate on you for it even though everyone loves their mom.

Oh, shit.  Your Mom Coin.  Oh man I'm outta here i got to go find hazard.
188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Devcoin Testimonies on: July 08, 2013, 07:22:44 AM
Hint: I'm a pretty big DVC supporter.

I resent you for this.

It wasn't worth the time it took me to find out what it said.

I hate it every time someone does that.

Glad I made you happy.

I don't think this word "happy" means what you think it does Wink

Where IS Fin Stoney lately, anyways?  Haven't seen him around for a while I'm starting to have interest in devcoin again.
189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Launching a CatholicCoin vs. a GoodSamaritanCoin or Both on: July 08, 2013, 07:05:25 AM
but seriously i dont think any religion coin will work and people that follow those religions would find it offensive.  Imagine if they had Jesus printed on money, the Christians/Catholics would find it extremely offensive and probably start rioting.

No that's muslims.

Christians put jesus on everything.

Turns out, the 0.0023 was closer (it is the current offer at cryptsy after just 1-2 days)

that's not an indicator (yet), if someone bought 100 at this price, that would set it. the volume is so low, almost anyone could change the current price at the moment.

CPUID checks. Hostname checks. Server specific information checks. It's not hard.

With the code on github it would have to be obfuscated somehow. Care to point out what you think it is? I would be astonished if he intentionally broke virtual CPUs. That is just rewarding botnets and punishing everyone else.
heh, heh heh.
194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] XRP Launch on: July 08, 2013, 03:40:13 AM

More XRP cannot be created, the entire thing is build around a fixed and reducing amount of XRP, hundreds of thousands of transactions go through the public ledger each day each one can be traced and verified both manually and cryptographically.


Shhhh.  There's a ton of people here that think XRP is a crypto-currency.  If you managed to convince them otherwise the entertainment will end.

I just use 7-zip. When you unzip the installer, you'll get some random variable folders, src folder, daemon, and qt client... Keep whatever you want, I just took the daemon and qt.exe

ok well so much for not installing anything into windows for altcoins again- I installed 7-zip.

Neither the internal .zip in windows or win-rar would get it they're too busy being "helpful".

Thanks for the tip.

It's in the first post. Just unzip the installer, they're both there.
One block mined so far.

what do you "unzip the installer" with?

199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Breaking Free from the Litecoin Prefix | Hardfork Help? [MODERATED] on: July 07, 2013, 11:01:45 PM
What exactly are you trying to do here?  You want to fork litecoin, but remain backward compatible for pre-fork?

They're trying to clean up the code.

I assume from what's posted that GLD (and possibly some of the other flaky coins) is having some issues - crosstalk of some sort with LiteCoin.

The reason I mention other coins is because this could have something to do with several wallets trying to sync with a 300k+ block chain all the time.

The problem is (again extrapolating from this post) that changing these values is such a hard fork that you might as well call it a new blockchain. And they don't want to invalidate the entire block chain.

So they need to mod the wallet in such a way that the network identifiers change mid-chain, while accounts and transactions from both ends of the split are still recognized as part of the same chain.

Close enough, microguy?

Sounds like maybe the hardest fork-around I've heard of yet.
