Bobsurplus, ok you certainly are entitled to your opinion. I invested in CLOAK and VRC because I like both coins. But I dont go around to other threads which I dont want to invest in. You spread more fud than actually supporting your coins, I guess this is your way of supporting Cloak..just bash the competition. You do this on the Crypt thread too. Its classless and it actually makes Cloak look bad for having idiots like you around.
Have you made money on cloak? If so I think you owe me a big "Thankyou"!
I'm here to help the community as a whole, if that means I need to call out certain coins then so-be-it!
Now where's my "thankyou"?
You are not growing crypto, you noticed its not growing as fast as it should? Maybe the tech purists need to realize that more can be achieved if they get outside of the current paranoid way of thinking. Is much bigger applications for the blockchain.
VeriCoin is breaking the mold, and its what will bring in normal investors who are paralyzed by fear of the next GOX, you know why? because the attitude of purists is to let people suffer instead of using the technology to gain more people to crypto, Some people are really blind, this could be a good thing, yet people try to rally around basless acusations, rather than rallying around the facts that this changed crypto, and in a good way.
The purists are worried for valid reasons buy4crypto.
I know you are worried about your money, but they are as well.
They are worried about it on longer term, you are focussed short term.
If you can understand the concern then it will lead to less argument and more constructive discussion.
I think the rollback was a bad thing but I would probably do the same in dev position.
It is a shitty place to be in between rocks and hard places.
What might sounds like cruelty to you might be logical to others.
Here is an analogy: you make a baby. You find out the baby is deformed and will never be able to live by itself.
For the aims of the exercise you can only have one baby. What do you do? Keep this one or try for another one that can survive by itself?
There is no right answer.
It might feel right to save it but who are you doing the favor for?
The problem is the system is broken.
We are seeing it again and again. Mtgox, mintpal, different names, same game.
What we need is a different way to do all of this.
This is why peer to peer exchanges are needed.
If peer to peer exchanges are impossible then what we need is a level of education among that masses that stops people leaving money on exchanges.
If daytraders realize they can lose all of their money then maybe we will have less daytraders, this won't be a bad thing in my opinion.
Maybe by letting enough people get hurt, it will lead people to learn the lesson from the pain.
Don't leave money on exchanges.
It is a bit like helping a gambling addict. You don't cure him by giving him more money to play with.
