Tell that to the poor guys that got burned... That should bring their coins back...
Haha, hilarious. Next you will be creating a sob story for the 'poor people' that lost their money because they bet their life savings on a horse that lost.
Seriously, Ponzi is in the name of the game, if you are too thick to responsibly manage and make decisions with your own money, then you deserve to lose it.
If the game was called 'The incredible Blackcoin generating, you will never lose game', then you might have a point.
If you are betting money you cannot afford on risky ventures, suck it up and take responsibility if you lose.
Thanks for your response. So POS has a weakness and Pavel is going to fix it. That is a powerful statement that can make BlackCoin better then the rest of copycats. Unfortunately this advantage will also be copied by all of the other POS coins which in the end is a big plus for all POS coins and for Pavels reputation as a coder. Can this great advantage somehow be a closed source to only benefit BC?
It sure sounds like POS 2.0 will be very innovative but not exclusive.
Can it be made to be close source? Perhaps, but that goes against what people want from Crypocurrency supposedly. People seem to only want things when it is convenient to their own investment to have them. You can't have a decentralized currency with stable prices like a centralized currency... heavy whale manipulation, insider trading all of this is the result of an unregulated market which is what people asked for in the first place. Except of course when they actually put their money in. Likewise, Bitcoin and Crypto was made to be open source and accessible, that was the point, that was what people ~asked for~. But now that other coins are copying code, suddenly it's not convenient anymore because it directly effects people.
Sure other coins can steal code, they have all shown that, but if they cannot understand that code and how it works, then why does it matter if they have access to it? If copying code was a simple factor of a copy and paste job, then why have a majority of the alt PoS coins been hit with major code trouble? Why does it even matter? Reputation is the biggest thing about Crypto. Bitcoin is valuable because it is the first, the trailblazer and social sentimentality is one of the biggest factors behind perceived value. What is the difference between the value of a knockoff, or a reproduction? Sometimes it can just be about a 'name' and our 'name' is Rat4. We have a developer with prestige.
If Blackcoin does this shit first and gets a reputation for being a pioneer of new, truly concrete code, then it won't matter if Blackcoin1,2,3,4,5,6coin comes out and copies it. People will not invest in a cheap knock off over the real thing unless it's due to financial restrictions, or for a short term pump.
