“ Speculation :that partnership gonna be very probably with German Bank and they will release xvg debit cards. Imagine Verge chain being attacked in future, how you will pay with such card. Useless. And I'm not even talking about that when I was in team dev said xvg will NEVER partnership with bank, ever. Because it is anonymous, decentralized currency.“

I have been out of this topic as pool operator of NLPool.NL because as pool operator you have to be neutral with your opinion i think. That's something up to the miners, not us.

However, this argument you make here is not making any sense. My bank, and also many more here in this country get D-Dossed multiple times a year, and with that their nice I-Phone app breaks, android app breaks, website down, no pin transactions etc. Also, Skimming of bankcards, creditcards .... it is day to day practice here in the Netherlands. So i don't see how my bank is any better then a xvg-coin in times of difficulty. The argument that the banking system is more secure is also not valid... you and i know it isn't.... it's far worse. If you talk about millions of coins now extra in circulation, that still worry's me less then the amount of coins the ECB printed in a minute.

So i actually do believe that such partnership *can* be possible. I am more worried about the EU stance against crypto then over this thing.
Perhaps this hacker who did this job can solicit at the ECB... he sure as hell knows how to print money from thin air, so he can just continue his job there without anyone caring or bothering.  Grin Grin

So, i left our pool open for XVG during last days. VergeDEV was helpful and communicating and they still are.

So anyone looking for a pool to mine XVG ( Blake / Lyra2V2 or X17 ) , you are welcome @ NLPOOL ( www.nlpool.nl )

And for the other arguments of fellow pool's losing 12.8K of money .... Sorry but is all in the game. If you do XXX's TH/s of traffic and make lot's of money a day, just make a reservation for times it goes bad because we all have our good and bad days in life.



Hey. Thx for reply.
Where in my post did I say, that partnership is not possible ?
Where in my post did I say the banking system is more secure ? (actually it is definitely more secure then xvg blockchain Smiley )
Because I did not.
I´m just saying what main dev said many times, that xvg won´t coop with any bank ever.But I guess he just changed his mind. As he often does, w/e.

With saying " how you will pay with such card. Useless. " you don't have faith in this / impossible making a partnership with a bank impossible but i think it is possible.... nevertheless the name is Verge or any other coin. And banks are really not secure ... they, and their clients get robbed every day, you just don't hear it in the news for the obvious reasons as we loose faith in our (worthless) fiat system then. And for the Dev, perhaps he changed opinion. Perhaps he has new insights? It's a bit overrated to call someone a liar then? ... ohh well.....

Uff. Ok. If you ask me if I will send my monthly paycheck to some Verge debit card instead of my bank account to pay for my stuff. Absolutely not. And I'm also from EU, I am aware of securities risk. And as for suneroks lies. He lied to me directly in telegram chat many times when I was team member but who cares. It's OK you have opposite experience. Bye.
