Multisig, Turing complete language (ethereum compatible) allowing the creation of smart contracts, cold wallets, decentralised asset issuance, exchange, p2p trustless betting, deritivatives, hedging, payment gateways etc -- all those features are available right now in CounterParty (XCP), the developers are not anonymous; they have formed legal entities, foundations & have the backing of established billion dollar multinationals who are actively working on building platforms based on that protocol with a multimillion dollar budget allocated.

I don't understand why there are still investors risking everything for a quick flip, pouring funds into re-hypothecated boiler room ICO schemes arranged over skype&irc with marketing fluff rich whitepapers before working implementations like bitbay, instead of projects like the example above.

Shitcoin scams will only ever be short term profit for some, the rest will be bagholders.. it's a time tested notion going back many years on this forum..and many many more years outside of this forum better to go with established project with a strong history for medium-long term vision, the growth will be more modest, and there will be fluctuations but over time providing the fundamentals are strong you have less chance of a loss.

XCP is nothing like Blackcoin. That's what people around here were in for. Blackcoin with some interesting vectors.

Toknormal's reasoning is sound though. The coin isn't dead yet. It's not going to drop to zero unless the team abandons it entirely.

all those features are available right now in CounterParty

They're not really.

I never invested in XCP because I see it as a third party brokering service. For example XCP got a rise last month because it brought Etherium together with Bitcoin which on the face of it seems like a match made in heaven - the biggest technology of the future wedded to the biggest technology of the past.

But think about it. By investing in Counterparty, you're not gaining any stakeholding in either of the two original technologies - just the broker. So I left it alone because we have limited funds for hedging.

On the other hand Bitbay / Backcoin / Halo etc are original technologies and involve the original developer of those technologies. You DO get a stakeholding in them plus if you're technical like me, it can be quite interesting following the whole project development and trying new stuff out regardless of its valuation.

Bitbay also has a potentially killer market by directly targeting a specific sector the way it does. That's always a very powerful lever in software development because you don't have to generalise all the solutions to solve every possible problem - the business logic that has to be supported is always well defined. This makes for rapid progress towards both project and marketing milestones and should not be tossed away lightly.

That's why I'd like this work to continue because it does have some authentic aspects to it who's merits potentially far outweigh the nonsense politics of the IPO.

[2014-11-15 9:09:44 AM] Gekko: we hold a major % in the currency
[2014-11-15 9:09:50 AM] Gekko: we will take steps to push the price up
[2014-11-15 9:10:08 AM] Gekko: We won't "pump" it too crazy high. We just want to put it at a good price that it deserves
[2014-11-15 9:10:10 AM] Steven Dai: how many we control this?
[2014-11-15 9:10:27 AM] Gekko: well im not the market mover, that's bob
[2014-11-15 9:10:35 AM] Steven Dai: yes..if we ever can push this over 400 satoshi..

[2014-11-15 9:10:41 AM] Steven Dai: then that will helps
[2014-11-15 9:10:46 AM] Gekko: I was thinking 300 - 400
[2014-11-15 9:10:58 AM] Gekko: then 400 - 500
[2014-11-15 9:11:05 AM] Gekko: and have a good floor at 400 at least
[2014-11-15 9:11:20 AM] Gekko: possibly higher if the market works with us
[2014-11-15 9:11:30 AM] Gekko: we need to release technology to really push it

See what you want to see!!! We see that one dev member bought 0.44B coins from the 1B available.. Seems kinda fishy to us.

Are you claiming Steven Dai actually bought 0.44B of the coins on the exchange *after* the IPO ?

Also who exactly is "that group" that he refers to ? (The one that 'control' the other .=0.19B()

[11/3/2014 6:14:44 PM] crypto.gekko: a coin is just a coin without a good developer.
[11/3/2014 6:14:52 PM] David Zimbeck: not at all good for my reputation
[11/3/2014 6:15:24 PM] crypto.gekko: This is what an investor is banking his money on. Your skills.
[11/3/2014 6:15:36 PM] David Zimbeck: yeah but somebody else profits
[11/3/2014 6:15:37 PM] crypto.gekko: Otherwise it's best to pay you for the work only.
[11/3/2014 6:15:39 PM] David Zimbeck: by using my name
[11/3/2014 6:15:51 PM] crypto.gekko: you are not the only one behind the coin.
[11/3/2014 6:16:04 PM] crypto.gekko: There will be an entire team behind you.
[11/3/2014 6:16:22 PM] David Zimbeck: yeah but that doesnt matter in the ICO phase
[11/3/2014 6:16:33 PM] crypto.gekko: That doesn't make sense to me
[11/3/2014 6:16:34 PM] David Zimbeck: you guys can just make a lot of BTC off the hype
[11/3/2014 6:16:48 PM] crypto.gekko: we could, sure. but that's not what this is about
[11/3/2014 6:16:53 PM] David Zimbeck: yes it is
[11/3/2014 6:17:00 PM] crypto.gekko: im sorry to hear that
[11/3/2014 6:17:19 PM] David Zimbeck: my name was used in the past by another coin
[11/3/2014 6:17:33 PM] David Zimbeck: and it was just to profit off my name
[11/3/2014 6:17:43 PM] crypto.gekko: The goal is bring this coin into the top 10 marketcap. We have the money and connections to do that.
[11/3/2014 6:17:49 PM] David Zimbeck: those kind of things are bad for me if I ever decide to start my own coin
[11/3/2014 6:18:06 PM] crypto.gekko: I would personally like this to be your coin.
[11/3/2014 6:18:52 PM] David Zimbeck: ok so i can attach my name to the coin if i get the btc up front
[11/3/2014 6:19:19 PM] crypto.gekko: Surely. And I'm willing to work with you in any way to make you happy.
[11/3/2014 6:19:25 PM] David Zimbeck: ok
[11/3/2014 6:20:13 PM] crypto.gekko: 30k is a lot of money, but I know your tech and support is worth every penny. Working together, the development is real and the money is real too.
[11/3/2014 6:20:26 PM] David Zimbeck: i believe my tech is worth a lot more
[11/3/2014 6:20:36 PM] David Zimbeck: i have turned down 30K before
[11/3/2014 6:21:03 PM] crypto.gekko: That's why our continued relationship would only bring more rewards.
[11/3/2014 6:21:07 PM] David Zimbeck: yeah
[11/3/2014 6:21:11 PM] David Zimbeck: thats the point
[11/3/2014 6:21:16 PM] David Zimbeck: im loyal everyone knows that
[11/3/2014 6:21:34 PM] crypto.gekko: The coin will have a large development pool. As you spend time to develop into the future, that money goes to you of course.
[11/3/2014 6:21:36 PM] David Zimbeck: you get more than you pay for
[11/3/2014 6:21:45 PM] David Zimbeck: since i can help your entire team
[11/3/2014 6:21:57 PM] crypto.gekko: indeed
[11/3/2014 6:22:21 PM] crypto.gekko: So what is the best way to move forward in your opinion?
[11/3/2014 6:22:45 PM] David Zimbeck: that all depends on you guys
[11/3/2014 6:22:57 PM] David Zimbeck: you know your schedule
[11/3/2014 6:23:14 PM] David Zimbeck: I can give you guys an address
[11/3/2014 6:24:09 PM] crypto.gekko: If you have trust in Lin and Steve and you are truly interested in making BitBay your "baby". I see no reason why you sholdnt take the bull by the horns.
[11/3/2014 6:24:36 PM] crypto.gekko: Otherwise, I will need to hire multiple devs and pay them as needed. You being one of them for your technology.
[11/3/2014 6:25:00 PM] David Zimbeck: I'm already doing that
[11/3/2014 6:25:13 PM] David Zimbeck: I work on Halo every day
[11/3/2014 6:25:33 PM] crypto.gekko: I think I have a better grip on the situation now.
[11/3/2014 6:26:04 PM] David Zimbeck: Basically when I wake up, I code. Then eat and sleep.
[11/3/2014 6:26:07 PM] David Zimbeck: lmao
[11/3/2014 6:26:27 PM] David Zimbeck: i also am training devs here in cambodia
[11/3/2014 6:26:28 PM] crypto.gekko: I do the same, but basically help other coins to make their tech a reality.
[11/3/2014 6:26:36 PM] David Zimbeck: i can train any of Lin or Steves devs
[11/3/2014 6:27:04 PM] crypto.gekko: Is the cost of that included in your initial payment?
[11/3/2014 6:27:20 PM] David Zimbeck: depends on what they ask me Cheesy
[11/3/2014 6:27:31 PM] crypto.gekko: So we will need to create a contract.
[11/3/2014 6:27:45 PM] David Zimbeck: A real contract on paper?
[11/3/2014 6:27:59 PM] crypto.gekko: Digital contract or smartcontract if needed.
[11/3/2014 6:28:21 PM] crypto.gekko: The details of which I will discuss when I meet with Steve and Lin in China next week.
[11/3/2014 6:28:53 PM] David Zimbeck: Just draft a contract on paper
[11/3/2014 6:29:07 PM] crypto.gekko: Sure, I'm fine with a simple record of notary.
[11/3/2014 6:29:18 PM] David Zimbeck: most important, i dont want my name attached to the project until the btc funds
[11/3/2014 6:29:30 PM] David Zimbeck: once it funds you can use my name
[11/3/2014 6:29:38 PM] crypto.gekko: that seems more a matter of trust to me
[11/3/2014 6:29:40 PM] David Zimbeck: i just wanted to make sure my name is not used for profit
[11/3/2014 6:30:03 PM] David Zimbeck: because it could harm my reputation otherwise

See what you want to see!!! We see that one dev member bought 0.44B coins from the 1B available.. Seems kinda fishy to us.

Are you claiming Steven Dai actually bought 0.44B of the coins on the exchange *after* the IPO ?

Also who exactly is "that group" that he refers to ? (The one that 'control' the other .=0.19B()


the group seems to be my group... and Steven bought 0.44B coins from the ICO on bter using a PHANTOM bter account loaded with PHANTOM btc...

so  over 1200 btc volume was faked at least.. and all by steven!!!

Here are a few more chats for you guys to look over...

What are we supposed to be looking at here ?

What significance are you alluding to in these posted "chats" ?

Wow - if this doesn't have scam written all over it, I don't know what does.  This is fucked up.  I will say one thing...having dumped all my BAY already, I sure am enjoying watching the shit show.

The Usual Suspects is a pretty straight forward movie compared to this.

Jeez. That's bad - almost as bad as the Central Bank of Japan creating fake volume by printing fake money to buy Japanese Government debt (but not quite  Wink )

Coin is gut shot. Will never recover. Wasn't just bob that did the damage, they are all thieves. Naivite is the ethereum of this coin.

I don't care.

It's early enough in its lifetime for it to recover.

All of this sh*t was about the IPO and its wake. If it had happened 6 months in then - yes, it would be "shot". But it's recoverable if there's a technical momentum from here. If that happens the rest will come because it's moving off such a rockbottom base.

the scammer teams split up, so for you it is ok to continue with the scammer who stay in the coin  Shocked
(I can't believe what I read  Grin)

Oh you probably will have to read things much more incredible than that -although it is quite a task to even imagining them, admittedly-. And not only from the obvious individuals involved in the scam (have you heard that in prison no one is guilty, absolutely no one... all of them are locked up by mistake), corroborating evidence and full admissions included, no. What is even more amazing is what you will read from the likes of powersoup, digicitrical adn qwxsrz or whatever. Or even the guy with the big business and big pockets that is interested in reviving the project no matter what even buying all the coins available (although at least that one is not just your usual smuck and he REALLY wants this as a tool for his business... he doesn't know just how wrong he is about it being that).

It's the nature of crypto and why it will never go anywhere. poor as shit pot smoking 30-plus years old jerkoffs that never worked a day in their lives and live in the garage of their parents. That's the bulk of the demographics. And yes, they will post things like the ones you incredulously read here.

And that's not counting the ones who ask if this is a scam or if BTER is legit... or the ones who admit that "as long as David is in the project, they will follow him anywhere"... Amazing, isn't it.

Because Bobsurplus, as you already know very well, is an innocent contractor that found out too late that he had been contracted by a bunch of scammers, you know. Him and his right hand mand, Gekko, being the only innocent parties in this.

Surreal.

all those features are available right now in CounterParty

They're not really.

I never invested in XCP because I see it as a third party brokering service. For example XCP got a rise last month because it brought Etherium together with Bitcoin which on the face of it seems like a match made in heaven - the biggest technology of the future wedded to the biggest technology of the past.

But think about it. By investing in Counterparty, you're not gaining any stakeholding in either of the two original technologies - just the broker. So I left it alone because we have limited funds for hedging.

On the other hand Bitbay / Backcoin / Halo etc are original technologies and involve the original developer of those technologies. You DO get a stakeholding in them plus if you're technical like me, it can be quite interesting following the whole project development and trying new stuff out regardless of its valuation.

Bitbay also has a potentially killer market by directly targeting a specific sector the way it does. That's always a very powerful lever in software development because you don't have to generalise all the solutions to solve every possible problem - the business logic that has to be supported is always well defined. This makes for rapid progress towards both project and marketing milestones and should not be tossed away lightly.

That's why I'd like this work to continue because it does have some authentic aspects to it who's merits potentially far outweigh the nonsense politics of the IPO.


There you go, that's the spirit.... Wow!
