MODERATOR: Yes I accidently posted two times in a row. Don't blow this up there's clearly an ad above breaking my posts up and you know that counts.Vladdy, thanks for the high quality screenshots. This out of date software never sees that kinda shit for a reason. Maybe they're history. Who knows.
Oh and I posted this in response to the flame war you got with develcuy. You guys make bad actors but great developers/marketers/project leads. Deal with it
---- I also wrote this for newbs ----
I don’t know who the lead dev here is or if you have one. If you don’t I’ll gladly submit my resume. Anyway, there seems to be a lack of focus or vision on what’s gonna be big in the tech/communications world. I think Keybase is gonna be at least as be as telegram. I just wanted to let the community know that as far as Keybase goes I’ve got it covered. And I threw in an forward thinking avatar hoping to attract the original bitcoin adopters - the whole anonymous/privacy thing is still going strong. We may just get all those whale bitcoin early adopters with this plan.
Maybe this act has to do with devcoin.org and devtome.com since it lost its .org or whatever. I don't really care.
As far as a lead developer, yes we have one named develcuy on most of our hangouts - he's a great guy, made the newest wallet and it works wonderfully. First 64-bit wallet for Windows btw.
Marketing wise, yes - you would be amazing for it, I have zero real world connections I just do our "marketing" because develcuy was nice enough to offer me an ongoing share with access to our (current) Facebook page and tweetdeck.
Sure, we're not very noticed. I think that's part of the game. Maybe we need to convince MarkM to update the main domain name he attached subdomains and pages on explaining all/most of his Stellar/HORIZON assets that are quite ahead of their time imo. I don't think people realize just how 2.0 the Nxt (Bitcoin 2.0) clone now known as Horizon is, but its truly decentralized. I proved that to myself by learning how to run the actual server on my own and then access it locally yet still have it make offers, write messages, and execute trades etc that I made locally using my own server, connected to peers and even go offline without it all falling apart. Horizon also has a directly hosted github page, or perhaps "nexthorizon" so maybe the brand change was just to put a "." in operations for now until we slash forward with the necessary operations on HORIZON as whatever necessary time that might be. I'm not the Admin, I don't have that kinda access or knowledge.
But I will say this, whether its widely used or not, its still at least used if the blocks move forward (HORIZON's have not halted), and say blocks do halt, there's plenty of ledgers that moved on and coins that moved on to being tokens once their blocks stopped moving forward. If coins can be a finite supply, then why not blocks? Why not move to a ledger once its impossible to mint new coins. Can't mine your way into a double spend type scenario with no blocks to dispute with other txns - if your coins are done being mined, blocks are pointless waste's of at least computational power
Again I'm just saying that there is vision here. Everything I've said I've learned from a person on this project - the fact we still have a co-founder active that's never left says something, and should. Wouldn't it be nice if Thomas Nasakioto was around to help you with Ixcoin?
You are already on this team whether you like it or not. You're "tied" to it. That's what merge mining has made us all. Acting or not. I know you're kidding around. I like the jokes. We have joke currencies doing wonderfully (one that's not a joke, but a hell of a marketing tactic to get everyday non-interested in cryptocurrency users to come right on in). And the fact I read an archived article preserved on how the process came together with an old interview with two founders shed light on the "rollout" of the project as well as the fact that any "community" can swoop in at any time and raise spot prices of a coin - and awareness. In the end, it won't be spot exch prices. That's a part of the game. Overall, the combination of everything in this system has a value. As do clones and source code from the root. Take the original devcoin source code offline. CMC would point you to github, but now CMC isn't run out of an apartment per legend, it was bought to independently operate from Binance (China binance) in 2017. That's when I0coin and Devcoin stopped being tracked, deemed inactive. Go look at the Devcoin chart and see how it showed actual life (a flat line from Aug 2020 to 2021) is still data. If I sold something to you running on my computer would you expect the software to run perfectly on your computer? Could some critical data be lost that I had filed at the earliest point in my creation/operation of what you just bought? Of course.
If you're not following, which I know you are in a way. It's because you already know this.
Anyway its my opinion that once people see a meme coin go to the moon because the two creators (a cloner, modifier of an already and now scrubbed repository for luckycoin (LuckyCoinQT) on Github - AND - an "Aussie marketing genius" who built the splash page for the site with the PHOTOSHOPPED doge on top of "a coin") synced for the first time before releasing the software to the public. It is the email syncing that speaks true to what the internet is made up of besides web browsers and HTTP or HTTPS as most people this day in age are conditioned to think. And who said they used a web browser to sync the original QT software which was modified from LuckyCoinQT... maybe the email feature of the original is overlooked. Maybe the QT had the ability to send messages over SMTP or application layers and ports. Maybe they directly connected email just like the days when terminals on the ARPANET made such things possible. I know Git is built on top of SSH - maybe they did something like that and kept both sides of the tube open to sync and generate a block together or release the code with a hardcoded block 0 you only find when you install and sync the core software yourself. Maybe it also comes up in MultiDoge but with even more info about how it was generated because its supposedly a port of MultiBit. Maybe Shapeshift.com's Eric Vorhees is inquiring about if anyone is creating a zk doge or whatever because the MultiBit project was abandoned so the team could create Shapeshift.
Maybe if people messed around with their AppData folders and read enough logs on their computer they'd know what they would have to teach themselves to understand why and how and perhaps even realize how to build their own functioning independent node that can access the same marketplaces as everyone else on a Horizon/Nxt Core Developer built UI but safely from their own computer with a little help from their devs who so kindly are available on many chats, many forums, and hell - they've logged many of these questions to where you can read stack exchange, a forum, an old logged IRC chat available on a web repo (like the old mailing list Satoshi used to email into are now archived on websites viewable on web pages).
In the end, perhaps its time to stop arguing about things for fake reasons. I'm definitely willing to help this project in any way I can. With you guys, you all out rank me in participation, when you publicly started contributing to each project, and hell - I bet you're way more better off financially. Yet if you ask for donations, I give them whether asked or not. I know it helps to send my own coins from my own PC in the sense they carry my cryptographic information. And like a counter on an old website, that's real countable currency to give your coin another supporter from the outside. It's not that I don't trust anyone, I just never met you all. And if we met face to face I'd rather not even try to determine what's true and what's not. Doxing and arguments are a waste of time. But it could be Vlad's making another production here with develcuy. Much like wall street is letting the media demonize its hedge funds that not only are about to save retirement funds for chaotic mind controlled American boomers who are drinking the KOOLAID with everclear (if you watch FOX that is) - but HAVE already saved the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund who invested long ago in MAC (the mall owner that is parent to GameStop -- see who is saving the empty big box stores? Guess who hasn't even pitched in yet? The man they blame for killing them -- simply not possible short sellers and execs let any one many kill all that business).
Hedge funds are not just shorting stores their collaboration with media has made people think worthless, they've also made the market filled with hidden gem stocks that are going to fundamentally rocket to mars because people are unfamiliar with two things they could also have learned about in the 10 years: 1) that say (a blockbuster) has been publicly trading but volume DEAD (at least reported) and price DEAD (at least on the front end of your computer and cell screens) and 2) who says they aren't doing it to their own stocks? Hedge Fund manager Eddie Lampert and his ESL Partners Hedge Fund is based in Greenwich, CT and owned Sears, Roebuck & Co. as well as KMart a year later when he acquired it, etc etc etc all the way through the Amazon.com consumer SHIFT and to this day retains the filed, but now rescued from bankruptcy "entity" which has traded its stock all along under Lampert as SHLD (Sears Holding Corp. existed from 2005-2018 as a company). Became SHLDQ but remained under bankruptcy protection and trades even though they're out of Ch 11 imo. Sears Canada Inc. which has since 1978 been entirely owned in joint venture shares the Canadian half of the jv once possessed but the HBC, as in Hudson's Bay Company from the 1600s sold entirely in 1978 to American Sears (then Sears, Roebuck & Co).
Both Sears Canada Inc. and SHLDQ stock trade. Sears Canada Inc. still was paying its Board of Directors as of Aug 2018 - yet their Canadian stock is delisted, and their Nasdaq-Gs stock went Pink No Information on the Pink Open Market according to one of two groups that quotes OTC stocks, private-owned OTC Markets Group. OTCBB - rather OTC BB on Nasdaq - has a directory of these stocks, but no quotes
.
So what does that have to do with us. Well, merge mining and recent attention to Reddit buying heavily shorted stocks has made me realize the way you all have described merge mining over the years awarded both "bitcoin" (counted in BTC units) to miners (which I hear up to 80% are in China) and a MM coin, in our case (DVC, IXC, I0C) the oldest and most ancient yet enduring merge mined coins. Cool. Miners sold our coins on the web exchanges and I doubt back at the first days of website exchanges many real everyday outsider shmucks like me were buying and selling there. Thanks to web archive I can see what snapshots looked like. But point is, our shit got sold to smithereens. And there's not walls and walls of them on ANY exchanges as far as I know. Compound that with the fact a lot of old wallets haven't "fired" up since before that whole Bitcoin 2.0 thing in 2014
-- or that whole Ethereum, Stellar (v1), Ripple (v1-v2), Nxt, etc. thing began with BTC funded "IPOs/kickstarters/ICOs" etc. If most of the miners sold the devcoins on exchanges you claim ran off with all your coin or governments seized them, all the better. Maybe they ended up at the FED, in which case they could remove them from circulation just like other money that uses their AcH channels. Maybe the dumping as you call it is just a way of those very miners one of you calls something a bit offensive (I don't care about PC - I'm just saying blame is kind pointless) is the one that's gonna pump those Merge Mined coins they dumped to profit their mining operations. Maybe the storing and "lost" merge mined alts are going to help people realize how many in circulation matter more than total minted. Either way, this is math based and a game of strategy.
If you think redditors are not institutional money (or a pool of institutional money) doing something that is not necessarily illegal, but only frowned on when spun by the media - and control measures aren't taken by people like Robinhood execs just playing a role of demonized rich guy of the day for the greater good of understanding GAME THEORY - then you're either inside the truth circles yourself (in which case, you have no idea how hard it is to be me and be here even if you think you do) - or you did get here like me, but you're not thinking about why all sides of a market act about certain items on the market in the way they do to make sense of it all.
This is my fourth year in this world and community. I still don't know everything and never will. But I do know here is the place to make decisions of your own. If you guys are staging a fight - I'm the only one hanging around devcoin at this point on places like this to see it and even being an outsider, its just a waste of time.
It also spams this topic. Which is annoying. Why can't we talk technicals here so just in case newbies do come along, they find all the helpful things I've dug up.
Or maybe, you're just trying to shake hands the way all do. I only own 0.5% of minted DVC the last time I checked. I'm not dumping a thing. It's a very "central" part of the end result and every one of these coins in Mark's treasuries must benefit the other. So cut it out?
Thanks.
(Pumps won't save our coins on Spot exchanges, obscurity and time will. Last week proved that to me). We're alive for a reason. Even when not on an exchange or block explorer, if you can connect to it, its alive. Or - if you absolutely couldn't or failed, like I did with Groupcoin, I still got tokens from a person I took the risk of trusting to buy them and hold them on Stellar. But that's what investing is about. Taking risks you want. I'm sure Mark's not offended by me saying that - he could probably out trade any broker in the United States and still run/head our national Treasury - he just likes to call the things involved by different NAMES)
