Main News it's boring though, not much happened Sad

Following yesterdays' abysmal launch Neo8 had the following to say.

Please to consider that this was a beta version, it's why the source was not available. Some miners have exploited a bug to get +50% of all coins, We can't continue to support this.

Neocoin will be relaunched without bug, fairer, without partners premine with a new website. The binaries and the source code will be really available at the same time. The starting difficulty will be higher. When the source code will be online, we won't change anymore, the genesis block will be definitive.

We won't stop this project, this coin is new (without copy/paste). We take lessons, everything was not perfect but we are convinced that Neocoin is the most advanced coin on the market and brings new things.

We will inform you as soon as possible.

Thanks for your support.

He/ "They" seem to keep repeating the "without copy/paste" yet the Qt is reported to be version "Satoshi". We'll leave it to the readers imagination to figure out what scam *cough* is going on.

Conspiracy stories are the theme of the day apparently as fear of the US Governent continues to escalate.

What in the world makes you think BTC is decentralized ?

Ever since this.. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6652.0 .. BTC has become a banker's cashless society wet dream.

What we have today is NOT what Mr. Nakamoto intended.

HT xD

Oh yeah, and after that the protocol was changed in a subtle way that no programmer reviewing it could actually see the change but now ALL YOUR BITCOIN ARE BELONG TO CIA. Now I see how naïve I am, thank you.

Bitcoin is decentralised exactly because even if the CIA implants an alien on Gavin so that he starts to write code making Bitcoin centralised, a decentralised fork will appear and there still will be good ol Bitcoin around.

They will PASS a special executive order and make a hard fork that gives all control of Bitcoin to the government. It is INEVITABLE. Then Bitcoin belongs to the government!!

But seriously, I fail to see how Bitcoin, a decentralized, pseudonymous currency is a banker's/government's wet dream, when they already have KYC, debit cards, and credit cards, which offers more tracking and raw control than Bitcoin ever could. With those, your spending can be tracked, your accounts can be frozen and even stolen from.

The "Snowden Affair" seems to have woken fears all across the globe....somewhere in the NSA...there is a record of all the porn you have watched. Grin

Financial News

The downward spiral continues as traders spread their wealth over the new altcoins on Cryptsy. Coins-e seems to be gobbling up any new coin to surface as they try to gain a foothold in the trading market place.

LTC price has been steadily dropping as miners and traders are becoming more apprehensive. The initial hype after the announcement raised the price but recent events "dumping" have seen the price lowering.

Rumors of a pre-emptive CIA dump have been floating around as the reason for bitcoin price vis a vi USD instability. This has raised more concerns from the conspiracy crowd.

Sports news

The NUG vs Spots war is getting heated as angry adopters who wasted *cough* their hash power on it retaliate.

There's been 3 exact clones of NUGGETS so far

No there hasn't. There has been one and only one. Since you are mentally challenged people played pranks on your by linking to threads of coins launched months (and in one case a year) before NUG saying "look another one copied you".

You do realize that posts have timestamsp and you can verify yourself that the coins which "copied you" launched before your copycat scamcoin.

BTW at current Bid the valuation of all NUGs in circulation is ~1 BTC. 99% of that is the premine and thus not earned by miners. Quite the "miner's coin".

Users are also begining to ask questions about the promises made buy recent shitclones. The "vague" promise line has become common since the launch of the bitgem scam.

Quote from: smscotten on July 27, 2013, 01:06:15 AM

So what's this whole "related to precious metals" thing going to look like? Are you setting up an exchange site that will only trade between Spots and metals?

Special-purpose currencies have always confused me. I can understand there being some direct link with, say, silver if someone is holding on to a lot of silver and will trade for Spots at a given price. But I don't understand how that can in any way be built in to the currency without centralizing it.

I'm not trying to criticize, I have just heard a lot of vague talkvague talk that I like the sound of, mind you. I'd just like to hear more specifics.

Weather report

Today seems cloudy, due to the recent unsuccessful launches we predict a minor storm of "copy-paste-shit-clone-rain" as "devs" try to flll the gap. This merciless bombarding that has brought wallet stealers and left bag holders is continuing....only the fit will survive this "Coinpocalypse"
