uh. so to send terracoins it takes 6 confirms lasting 6 hours a piece, 36 hours? URG! for some stupid reason I took my TRc off btc-e and now its going to take 72 hours to get them back on? what a load of crap man. luckily I only had $200 in TRC trasferring so its like whatever. but what a total shit coin man. I can't believe I got suckered into even considering using it. if the price completely crashes in the next 72 hours I'm going to throw a BFL asic at whoever invented this stupid coin.
I get soothing words, "no its gonna be alright, this is just a bump in the road. its healing."
do you realize how much damage you do to suckers like me by promoting SHITCOINS? because I actually listen. and this is the second time my terracoins have been stuck in transit for more than a day. you can't even begin to think that terracoins will ever be adopted by anyone if transfers take over 1 day. bullshit
"do you realize how much damage you do to suckers like me by promoting SHITCOINS?"
Seriously? So you're blaming people like me for participating in an open source software project that is a fork of bitcoin, and being excited enough about it that you decide to get involved as well?
If you are so a)impatient b)gullible c)rude you should think twice about whether or not the crypto community is the place for you. No one forced you to mine those $200 worth of coins, and certainly no one force you to BUY them either.
If you're just in it to "get rich quick" then the community doesn't need you- and I'm putting that honestly, and fairly. We need people who will develop projects, understand the system. We need people who actually UNDERSTAND how these things work.
We don't need angry rude people who are going to be unpleasant and actively discourage volunteers with vitriol because a piece of software didn't work 1000% fantastic right out of the bag. All these cryptocoins have their software flaws- they are just all waiting to be found. It took bitcoin 4 years to fork on an error, but it still forked: and they have a whole foundation of braniacs testing this stuff.
Alt coins don't get the benefit of being able to do 100% complete testing of their software before releasing it. That's what the community does. Thats what WE DO by using it. WE are the debugging process. Not even bitcoin is Version 1.0 yet- it's version 0.8 BETA software. While some Altcoins have programmers perhaps more genius then others, they too must stay up awake wondering if there is some program detail they missed. They can only hope that their fan base, the community, will be helpful in finding, discovering and communicating problems that arise.
So, once again- the community is happy to have anyone who wants to help out, and we are certainly happy to have you. I think most will agree with me that at this point in this grand crypto-experiment what is not helpful is people who are just here for illusionary money and have no intention of helping to make things grow and flourish in a productive way.
If you do "get rich quick": fabulous. We are all for it, but don't complain if it doesn't happen, and if you do end up with buckets of bitcoin, try to think of a productive way to reinvest in the community- build things, support people.
And when something breaks- help to fix it. Don't shit on the volunteers who are here because they believe in what they are doing, who reinvest what they make- both in time and money. If you want to gamble- play the lottery. If you want your $200 in terracoin to be worth something- download the latest client, get your GPU hashing no matter few coins it may make, and be positive. Don't discourage the very people on whom the future of your "investment" depends.
