Hazard - If you want to be taken seriously at least balance the negativity with some positive analysis.

What does he do if there isn't anything positive?

What coins, according to you criteria, do you give the tick of approval?

I just did a positive article. There can't be too many of them, though. With the sheer number of coins out there, it's much easier to bash than to praise.

DGC is one coin that I have a small stake in. There are a few others as well.

Ultimately, no matter what I post there will be critics. As always, I encourage people to take their own look at the information that I've put forth and form their own conclusions. I'm merely presenting my opinion on the matter. Though I would argue it is an informed opinion; 2 years dabbling around in crypto now and I've rarely been on the wrong side of a trade.

Simply giving a few coin names is hardly going to spoil your articles. It may however give you more credibility - given that you appear to dislike most altcoins, infact all but one (so far).

I've always been a fan of PPCoin, despite it having a mediocre launch and some serious image issues, as well as a very unfortunate name. It was the first of it's kind though, and with all the ASICS flooding the market killing BTC profitability, we could very well see a strong move over to PPC, similar to how GPUs moved over to LTC not too long ago.

Please tell me you did notice that the network hash dropped from 5.9 mhash during hour 1, to .48 mhash hour 2.

I was there the minute DGC got launched, and there was no premine. There can be several reasons why the network hashrate dropped for an hour, if my memory serves me right i was getting a lot of orphan blocks during hour 2, because the blocks i found during hour 2 were still the same blocks as found during hour 1. The block generation got overrun in hour 1, because a LOT of people were mining it, and we paid for it in hour 2. After that, everything went back to normal.

There is no premine, now shush

lol, do you have the minimum knowledge of how the p2p coin works? If it has a lot of orphans because a lot people joined mining, you don't see the block rate drop, instead you will see block rate increase because of instamining and you will see the hashrate increase big time. You actually see this after hour 3. Have you ever heard a lot hashpower joined and the block rate actual declined? Go check the 96 hour curves for all other coins and find me one which behaved like this:

Are you in your dream? What a joke, when people make up things.

The facts are shown in the 96 hour charts:
http://cryptometer.org/digitalcoin_96_hour_charts.html

and I put some comments for those innocent children to understand in the below diagram. BTW, more people here defending DGC does not change the facts. Facts are facts, it's simple.

I really didn't want to hijack Hazard's thread over all of this, but seriously, check out the blockchain yourself. I'll even link the relevant info for you.

Here is a link to "digitalcoin 1," from the block explorer. It has a value of 2 DGC, and was the first mined DGC block. Note its time stamp of 09:57:27 AM(UTC).

Now, here is the post that launched DGC. Note the time stamp of 09:55:53 AM (UTC), a full minute an a half prior to "digitalcoin 1" being mined.

Look for yourself, not through the lens of someone else's crawler. Of course, I've told and shown you all of this before, so I get the feeling you may know it to be true and just have a vested interest in spreading FUD.

Advertising costs have been reduced as a result of the recent btc rally.

Funny DGC claims all this great fair launch, but now Baritus changes the reduces the reward by more than 50%, so actually, DGC is no better than any other reward reduction scam pyramid coin, were Baritus changes the economy after loading up on cheap DGC.  No THX!

This is totally shady and a scam for new investors. If something similar had been done with Bitcoin, it would have been dead. Anyways this coin is nothing it's just a pump and dump coin without value like other scam-shit-clone coins released each day here.

New investors can get DGC at the lowest price it has been right now and cheaper than I did. So if that's the plan, anyone can be at the top of this so called pyramid. Didn't think that out did you? And these new investors would see appreciation and not depreciation, so I doubt they would agree with you either.

Also, this was a community voted and agreed on change. The stakeholders had input as well.

The first investors will now have less time to stock up on extremely cheap DGC that's being pushed down by hyperinflation.

What's your thought process?  Or did you run to FUD at the first chance?

The community is a bullshit excuse to change rules and you know that.
And community or not community, this is not an excuse, if you change rules in the middle of a game like this. It's cheating.

I know the crypto-ecosystem is the wild west but it's not a reason to play an unfair game.

Give it up will you. Your just digging yourself a deeper hole. Any shred of credibility you might have had disappeared when you started making these idiotic and clueless accusations. In the face of overwhelming evidence laid out before you in an easy to understand manner you still trying to peddle your fud. Like Baritus said you can get dgc CHEAPER now that its ever been so your ridiculous argument is worthless even on that point alone. *face palm*

Are you even serious? Sounds like another bagholder coin comment. Read the update thread and you'll realise why it was done after agreement from the dgc community. Anyway you do realise dgc is CHEAP at the moment don't you, or like I suspect you haven't even done enough research to check before shooting your mouth off. Its currently cheaper than what the EARLY investors bought at. So again this argument is moot and worthless.

It sounds to me like someone has been dumping all their DGC and now they're annoyed at the change.

I've been keeping quiet, but man, you're something else.

It's not about changing the rules. It's about adaptation.

When DGC was introduced, there were no profit hopping pools/coin switchers/auto dumping/etc... These are all new problems that have come up after the launch and have started to become serious issues to ALL altcoins.

Baritus is the first to admit his original system was flawed. He lacked the foresight for this particular situation. He is also the first to think up solutions and willing to adapt to the current economy.

I don't know, but I, for one, am very grateful that I am supporting a coin being developed by someone who genuinely cares about the success of his coins and is willing to think outside the box to adapt and solve whatever issues may arise. I'd much rather support DGC then support a coin where the dev drops off the face of the earth or isn't willing to adapt and simply leaves their coin to die.

Say what you will, but there are many unique services coming up for DGC/SRC/ARG and the time to hop on the bandwagon has never been better than now. Especially at the current cost of DGC.

A coin NEEDS to adapt...
So I got no problem with a Dev leading a coin to the Promised Land.

But the whole "community voting" thing is total bullshit:

(1) Random people are not qualified to make complicated decisions...
And a crowd of random people is even less qualified....
Everyone just wants more money yesterday. 

(2) The Dev will usually quit if the "vote" doesn't go his way.

So let's have Wise Benign Coin Lords, but cut the crap with the fake "democracy".

[fisheater]

can you do an unbiased article about IFC. about its launch, devs, community and current situation.

Oh no! I know too well this Hazard... unbias? a joke?

How about enough of making up crap you know nothing about? You're not a part of this community to judge it or know how decisions are made.

You are not some wise expert either. Which makes your opinion, and that's all it is, an opinion based on ignorance.

Thank you for your pointless words without any sort of knowledge though, always appreciate it.
