I'm only locking up about 100 million coins.  We can trade with the rest ;-)

Nice name. This is a shit-coin, newbie. Run away now.

Go back to your ticker tape

Hahaha.  Son, I was trading futures while you were still in diapers, and trading crypto when Vircurex and BTC-E were the only games in town.  Learn to read a chart:

For the benefit of anyone stumbling onto this thread.
1) The chart is meaningless. Florincoin has always been aggressively traded and the recent spike doesn't reflect anything natural.
2) But.... florincoin is a good long term coin. Data coins will probably do well and florin has a lot of positives.
3) But... the 'block tech' thing looks dubious. It does not look like a project with real commercial possibilities. Rather it looks like part of a florin pump.
4) But... the basic idea behind block tech, although probably not commercially viable is one of the reasons data coins will do well. And if block tech is successful it's long term value will not be 'block tech', rather it will be 'florincoin'.

So to sum up, block tech looks like a florin pump, but it is likely, based on florin's trading history, that the 'pump, may actually be the latter stages of someone having cornered the florincoin market. The block tech people may have bought enough florincoin that they can stabilize the price at any level simply by buying the coins that are being mined.

If that is the case then their plan is probably to continue holding until the cryptomarket recovers. So the last several weeks were the beginning of a 'pump' that won,t have a dump until the market is strong enough to absorb the coins they have at a higher price.

A person should ignore all the hype. Florincoin is an okay coin that has possibilities but is being pumped based on something that is questionable.

If block tech does the work of making florin a genuine data coin used to hold meaningful information, torrent links or whatever, and if the timing is early enough and the marketing is done well then florin could do quite well. Data coins are a wide open field ready for a lot of projects.

But if block tech cashes out without developing the coin and using the data feature then florin will flounder.

This was your first post I see.  Charming.

I agree with this.

3) But... the 'block tech' thing looks dubious. It does not look like a project with real commercial possibilities. Rather it looks like part of a florin pump.

I disagree with this, although I can understand why you might think it without hands-on access to what Devon and BlockTech are working on.  However, Alexandria is a real thing (I'm in the alpha) and it is extremely cool.

It's been in development for the better part of a year and has huge potential for content publishers and consumers alike.  The beta starts pretty soon so you'll be able to check it out yourself; I'll also be recording video tutorials on using it once it's in a more finalized form. I'm only doing that because the project itself has value.

The chart speaks for itself.  I wasn't the 10m buy but I can read a chart.  Those coins are locked up.  Long and strong...

160 million coins... can it still reach higher?? i dont think it will be easy.

It doesn't matter the number of the total supply in this case, when the project is strong price can reach high level, even a 10x from now could be possible.

It's not about being "extremely cool".

The Pirate Bay Business Model worked for about 10 years (anon, ad supported, free torrents)...
And had about 50,000,000 unique visitors/month until Hollywood lawyers broke it up.

Alexandria uses almost the exact opposite Business Model (pay-as-you-go, minimal anon, your mom's Pirate Bay)...
As currently described, the most likely result = Hollywood will ruthlessly shut it down.

Who would they shut down?

For the benefit of anyone stumbling onto this thread...
2) But.... florincoin is a good long term coin. Data coins will probably do well and florin has a lot of positives.

I agree with this.

3) But... the 'block tech' thing looks dubious. It does not look like a project with real commercial possibilities. Rather it looks like part of a florin pump.

I disagree with this, although I can understand why you might think it without hands-on access to what Devon and BlockTech are working on.  However, Alexandria is a real thing (I'm in the alpha) and it is extremely cool.

It's been in development for the better part of a year and has huge potential for content publishers and consumers alike.  The beta starts pretty soon so you'll be able to check it out yourself; I'll also be recording video tutorials on using it once it's in a more finalized form. I'm only doing that because the project itself has value. 

It's not about being "extremely cool".

The Pirate Bay Business Model worked for about 10 years (anon, ad supported, free torrents)...
And had about 50,000,000 unique visitors/month until Hollywood lawyers broke it up.

Alexandria uses almost the exact opposite Business Model (pay-as-you-go, minimal anon, your mom's Pirate Bay)...
As currently described, the most likely result = Hollywood will ruthlessly shut it down.

Hi there - thanks for sharing your concerns about the project - they're quite valid, so I'm happy to describe what we're thinking as far as how to go about addressing them

For one thing, as eXSn pointed out, there's no way for hollywood to ruthlessly shut this down. As a result of its decentralized nature (and very much by design, in order to truly embrace the idea of 'freedom of speech protected by code'), there is no central, controllable entity that could be shut down in order to destroy Alexandria. Media submissions themselves live in a DHT, hosted on multiple computers around the world, and the references/links that Alexandria uses to index them is a blockchain, again, hosted on multiple computers around the world.

Also, Alexandria is actually being designed so that it can be an attractive distribution mechanism for Hollywood itself (a bit down the road). You'll have to stay tuned at blocktech.com for a more detailed explanation of how we're doing so, but we have a process that ensures that certain content types (primarily feature films and music albums) require an extra step of authentication before they will actually show up in the Alexandria browser - basically a series of checks that allow a machine to verify, with reasonable accuracy, that someone who is attached to the credits of a piece of art has publicly demonstrated their approval for said piece of art to be distributed through Alexandria. Because its a check that is done at the time that a user browses across the piece of media, it is revokable at any time, so it makes temporarily delisting/hiding a piece of media extremely easy for its creator.

We aren't building Alexandria to be a competitor with PopcornTime - PCT does what it does quite well and has 10m happy daily users - we're building it to give artists of all kinds, from independent filmmakers to mainstream musicians, the ability to harness the highly efficient P2P technology that gives pirates completely free file distribution, but in a way that puts them directly in the drivers seat. Our first target artists are Youtubers/Soundcloud-podcasters - the content creators who are currently reliant entirely on ads. As more mainstream content creators see how well its working out for the short video/podcast crowd, we think filmmakers and musicians will start to dip their toes in the water.

How FlorinCoin(FLO) Will Replace The Pirate Bay And All Other Torrent Sites Forever

thebitcoinchannel.com / By Admin / 5-4-2015

Many believe that Satoshi was the father of all that we now know as Bitcoin, and with good reason.  But long before Satoshi arrived on the scene, BitTorrent had changed the world by introducing a protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing.  TPTB immediately pronounced anathema on the new technology, as it provided a way for every ordinary person to share files with every other person.

But reality applies to ordinary joes as well as to tin pot dictators.  File sharing could not, and cannot be stopped.  The only way to slow it down was to ban the tracker sites or put the proprietors in jail.  Fortunately for lovers of free speech and communication, message based cryto-currencies have now provided the answer:  a decentralized, peer to peer database that can NEVER be shutdown.  I give you Alexandria Project and FlorinCoin:

Alexandria is a distributed library for sharing and preserving art, history and culture. Imagine a platform like Youtube, Soundcloud, or Netflix, but without any of the costly server or bandwidth overhead. Users can self-publish anything, including videos, music, books, 3D printable, recipes, and more. Content creators have complete control over how their work is published and will be able to choose from several different monetization options.

Blocktech Introduces Uncensorable Peer-to-Peer Media ‘Library’ Alexandria

How FlorinCoin(FLO) Will Replace The Pirate Bay And All Other Torrent Sites Forever
...

Not exactly the context I'd like to see Florincoin introduced.

Every version of Alexandria that I support will include a filter to block unverified content from being distributed to your device. Keep in mind Alexandria is free software. You don't have to use the filter...  but you certainly should if you care about respecting and continuing to incentivize original content creators.

There is no way to prevent data from being put into the block chain, but preventing the spread of content that publishers clearly do not want in a DHT is possible. Those who agree will subscribe to the filters and disallow that content from being perpetuated by their Alexandria node. This is the best we can do to prevent publishers' work from being distributed without their consent.

keep this thread in first page!! FLO is the future!

Quote from http://www.thebitcoinchannel.com/archives/43730

"The main advantage of Alexandria over regular torrent sites, of course, is the absence of central servers, which means that the service cannot be shut down or blocked — as has happened with various torrent sites over and over again. As long as someone is mining Florincoin, Alexandria will continue to exist."

What do the FLO miners have to do with the shared media content?

[solid12345]

I'm not meaning to fud Florin or anything but the way Blocktech spun things a few weeks back it seemed like Alexandria's release was right around the corner.

Instead we get a road chart begging the public for money to actually build the thing with releases in installments. I thought Blocktech was supposed to be an actual company with VC capital behind it?

Instead in the latest photos its a couple guys with a table and a projector in what looks to me like a boiler room, it just doesn't build confidence.

All I can say to that is "welcome to crypto."
