Re: [ANN] [BARR] The Only Cryptocurrency Earned by Burning Multiple Altcoins
Quote
There is nothing uniquely special about BARR other than it's particular origin (from you) and it's name (BARR).
BARR is the only cryptocurrency that comes from burning different altcoins each month.
Since it's the only one of its kind, it is unique by definition. Try dictionary.com
that isnt what makes Barr unique, it's what makes it's distribution protocol unique.
Barr is a Next Asset style of shitcoin. no more no less.

if i wanted to regularly invest several thousand dollars of my own money i could inflate the price of BUMBA
"Oh, my coin could be good too, I just don't want it to be."
Since you don't think your own coin is worth buying, we'll take your word for it.
And since you don't think having a good coin is a worthwhile goal, we'll ignore everything you say about how to run a coin.
pardon me for not wanting to manipulate it "too" much

anyone can create an arbitrary value for any shitcoin by putting money in
If there's a lot of money put into it, the value isn't arbitrary. Again, words have definitions.
And if anyone can do it, why is your coin worth 100 times less than BARR?
You keep saying you "could make a coin" or "could do the same thing", but you already did make a coin.
Your coin has 5 active nodes and can only be traded as long as Cryptopia allows it.
of course it can be arbitrary,
lets pretend i want to increase bumba's value to a similar market cap of Barr.
i pick the arbitrary value, then i put the appropriate amount of resources into Bumba to reach that arbitrary value
i'm not saying that anyone decided to make Barr valued at 1100 sats (or whatever), i'm saying anyone can create an arbitrary value for a shit coin.
i'ts basic economics
if supply/demand create price, then manipulating supply/demand will effect price.
you're working with an artificially inflated system by arbitrarily injecting funds into the process. this is no different to selling things in a market place for bumba.
but it creates an artificial supply/demand cycle.
it's amusing how happy you are about the easily manipulatable system you're working with/ created. and how you think the outcome actually proves some sort of real value.
you havent even bothered working with a truly trustable system. you could dump any amount of Barr you wanted at any time.
i've never really looked at Next or Assets so I dont know, but with Bumba for example, it would be simple to code in a timestamp to lock fund from being accessed until that timestamp is reached.
also, you might want to keep up with your "transparency".
the opening posts in this thread are not up to date, nor is http://barr.me
You say it would be "easy" to do the same thing as BARR - but you don't even understand what we do or how it works.
lol because Barr is so mysterious that no-one truly knows how it works.

and if anyone wants to swap Barr for Bumba, send me a pm and we'll work something out 
If BARR's ideas aren't special or unique, why haven't you talked about doing them for the past 2 years until after BARR did them?
If BARR's ideas are so "amusing", why are you now attempting to copy those ideas?
So you'll have an excuse for all those premined coins you still have, after you announced you were giving them away last year?
You can't even give your coins away for free over a period of several months, but now you're offering them as a swap for other coins?
All you're really saying is "So what, BumbaCoin would be just as good as BARR if $30,000 had been invested in BumbaCoins."
You might as well go over to the Bitcoin forum and tell them Bitcoin has nothing better than BumbaCoin other than 6 Billion dollars.
You want to talk about a coin that has nothing uniquely special about it? You launched an altcoin clone in 2014, exactly the same as thousands of others.
Your coin was listed on a "Dead Altcoins" list 30 days after you launched it. That is what "anyone can do".
Your coin has 0 volume at 35 satoshis. That is what's "easy to do".
Your ANN has 16 pages since 2 years ago. That is something "we could do just the same", except we did it in 4 months.
Your "marketplace" topic has only had 4 people ever reply to it. That's just sad.
And then for you to come here and preach about what we're doing wrong? THAT is amusing.
So if BARR ever wants to be like BumbaCoin, we'll ask for your advice.
But for now, you're the one who's trying to be like BARR.
Barr's idea is not unique, it's been floated around a few times.
Your self righteous indignation is also not unique.
lol Bumba was never meant to be anything more than a shitcoin so go figure. crypto is fun
you're just making up amusingly outrageous crap now. lol
the only things you're doing wrong is getting outraged that i dont care how awesome Barr is, and also that you're not accepting that i could swap Bumba for Barr in exactly the same manner your doing. as could any other person ..
for whatever reasons, we gave away a couple of million bumba, and have a couple of million left.
obviously giving them away is not necessarily healthy for a coin, or perhaps you'd be doing the same
how we give them away is completely arbitrary. doing a swap for another shitcoin is just another possibility. and if you cant see the humour in swapping them for Barr you should.
that said,
i was interested in getting some "gifts" for bowscoin and ended up catching a few dumps before the price pumped.
i'll watch with interest how the pump goes and where your buy walls end up
perhaps it would be in my best interest to invest further funds into pumping bowscoin further
after all, it would be foolish of me not to enjoy such an easily manipulatable system to it's best affect.
