Note: this is not an attempt to besmirch the dev team

I think Vericoin could use a marketing makeover. This is not to say the team has done a bad job, but I believe they could go about some things in a more professional manner. For instance, during the webcast, Patrick mentioned his little squabble with the turd who was trying to say he DOS'd, and while it's fine to refute that publicly, I feel like much less time should have been spent on that. A simple, "some guy claimed to DOS us when in reality our code is secure thanks to our expert MS programmer and the fact we ban IPs at a certain point."

While you guys(dev team) can't ignore the community, I feel like sometimes you are sucked in to pointless debates that are meant to FUD. I'm not saying you guys should take the approach politicians or CEOs generally take, the "I have no comment", but I feel like some counter arguments are made hastily and unnecessarily which may damage the integrity of the coin. Remember, we want mainstream appeal and if some schmuck digs up posts(or tweets or IRC chat logs) with unprofessional quips, it could damage our brand.

Anywho, VRC is supremely undervalued right now. BUY!

I was just pointing out how we don't go mess around with other legitimate coins to the BlackCoin Foundation member that was in the call with us (Josh). Anyway, sorry it took so long.

pnosker,

Great hangout man. How much attention do you think will be placed on the moolah.io top up/gift card at Wal-Mart as mentioned during the hangout? Do you know if AML and KYC laws will impose any restriction on this? Not trying to go all Shark Tank on you, but how feasible is it to get an exclusivity agreement with moolah.io and Vericoin meaning it would be a VeriCoin card, VeriCoin logos all over the gift card, but "serviced by moolah.io." If you can pull this off, you will align faster with your strategic mission for VeriCoin, not as something to take out Litecoin or take out Bitcoin, but to revolutionize the sphere entirely.

You have a VeriFund address in your sig, but do you have a personal VeriCoin address, like for day to day expenses, rent, food, drink, etc? Do you do much work with PCR, real-time RT-PCR, protein assays, etc?

Thanks. We'll discuss it with Moolah tomorrow. I doubt we will be able to get exclusivity through them, however, we might be able to make a VeriCoin Card at some point.

Any donations to me can be made to the entire dev team: VPScASYV5DAMDrf5vPAooKJp77wXvdBHRj though it would pain me greatly to sell coin. I don't have any trouble making my day-to-day expenses, so please save your coin if you want to keep me alive. I make enough money as a graduate fellow along with decent patent royalties.

I do a lot of protein assays (I'm a drug designer), occasional PCR, very rare RT-PCR. Lots of NMR, molecular dynamics, and the like.

Again, you didn't ban my IP I just stopped my attack once I realized it worked, if you ever want to actually resolve the issues in your code feel free to message me. Your code is not nearly as good as you pretend it is.

I'm not spreading FUD, I have a masters in Computer Science and know how to write test code, know about security and have studied programming in depth. You just admitted you didn't even study computer science. So you can continue to pretend I'm lying but deep down you know I was able to throw together a script that gamed your system, I can throw together scripts that do much worse to your flimsy code.
