Just completed a fork and now the dev wants to do another.

Keeps mentioning "updates" and forks in order to build anticipation and hopefully speculative buying.

Because the dev is an ass... deletes any little thing you say that might be viewed as negative. 

So, if they post here,  I get to delete their stuff.

I bought at 86 sat and sold a few days ago at a profit. BALLS is definately the weakest of his coins, but it's not a scam.

It is when you pre-mine it for 2 days before posting it on BCT on day 3 of the 3day PoW phase like this scam dev. Check the other threads

This post sums up why all this bullshit is a scam
Read It. Hate It. Change the facts that it represents.

It was an interesting read but no evidence of scam or premine. I guess I'll chalk this thread up as another false scam report.

you + others lie about spot

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=868657.msg9654811#msg9654811

there is truth in same posts

Yep, I've already won this argument several times

TIX was fair, don't lie; it's a year long whine so I'm over your tears about it. The algorithm is scrypt-jane, though, so it's not comparable at all with varying n's

That's not the only place difficulty adjustments are calculated, mudda...however, you are proving that you can do nothing but change one or two lines and clone a bunch of shit without actually taking the time to understand how everything really works. You are showing your amateur card. You sure you wanna go down this road with me again? I've stepped my personal game up in the last year or so and it looks like you have fallen very far behind now

Man...it really is tough to check the explorer and see it adjusted every block  Roll Eyes

In case you are too dense to figure it out, difficulty is the 3.5's. Don't forget this had over 800 Terahash on it for several days. Many blocks were being found per second on very reputable pools. Do I really need to get more unaffiliated, trustworthy forum members and pool ops that were there at launch to come in here and vouch for the coin's fairness?

So my "solo instamine" was with blocks at significantly higher difficulty to sync initial nodes up and get a few checkpoints in. This is what someone who knows what they are doing to launch a fair coin that won't break does. Just because you aren't used to legitimacy around here doesn't mean those who do it right are in the wrong

Let's talk about Gorillastake, as i've looked there's no sign or information about data protection, privacy agreement or any terms of business / customer agreements etc. So there's an open door for you to just sell their addresses for hard cash to refinance your whole "business". How shady is that?! Angry

Also i'am wondering if your online shop is even legal, it would be a surprise if you pay taxes for it! Grin

And there's no postal address or phone number in the contact, so have you something to hide if you want to sell us something?!

Oh and could it be that you don't like to name the manufacturer of your system board of your tiny staking machines? It's Raspberry Pi!

I don't need to sell your information to make money, nor will I discuss how and to what length things are secured. If you don't trust me, don't use it. It's not like I'm making a lot of money on it, it's mostly just for convenience for countries with unreliable power and internet

You should look at the giant button in the middle of the description, as well as in the top. We mention that it's a Pi several times; 3 that I can see without really looking that hard

Yes, it is an actual business with licenses, registrations, and local permits. Of course I pay taxes, and eat the shipping costs
