the biggest difference is that someone would, uh, notice.

i no longer understand what anyone behind it is thinking any more. it seems like a weird and stunted dead end.

do you think anyone who populates this thread cares about stuff like that?

what i'm more interested in is what the exchanges make of it. there's got to be a point where trading profit is out gunned by the dangers of hosting coins this weak. they all seemed far too willing to adopt it. maybe they need to land themselves with a huge bill to realize they're playing with fire.

the centralization and laziness of development is gonna bite truly hard at some point.

i'm glad this coin is still going. it's like bitcoin's retard brother who's kept locked in the outhouse. you can drop in occasionally and be thankful you're not him.

i used xt.com. i deposited and withdrew without kyc and without any problems.

the btx market is very thin there which means it's real. maybe we have an ok exchange again.

Has anyone used xt.com yet?

And what the hell is sxc that appears to be trading against everything there?

i've been keeping an occasional eye on this coin. i'm impressed they managed to draw it out as long as they have.

in less time than this thread has occupied, ethereum was proposed, created from scratch, launched, started trading successfully and thousands began to develop on it. all code was available to look at. there was no one to string you along.

the way this coin was created stank of questionable intentions. everything that's happened since has done nothing to disprove it. if they prove the doubters wrong then great. there's been plenty they could've done already to do that.

what is it with the people in this scene and their refusal to acknowledge what's sitting right in front of them?

it really, really isn't a dex.

what it says. if you sell one buck's worth you crash their, ahem, market.

i regard this coin as dead because of the trading situation.

exrates, i may as well make an animation on my computer and pretend i'm trading it because that's as close as i'll get to executing a real trade through there.

no way am i going anywhere near hitbtc.

somewhere along the way it would've been nice to pick up one place that wasn't crooked, hacked or lying.

this guy's one and only passion in life is appearing on any exchange thread he can find and attempting to scare people. it doesn't matter what the exchange is, or what the news is. it's seriously, seriously weird.

if it stays alive long enough to get to the next bull run a rise is basically guaranteed, but maybe not an epic one. it has bitcoin in the name and it functions.

but that means keeping its head above water for maybe another 2-3 years and in that time the flow of new coins will heat up and there are new protocols like mimblewimble that'll inspire more growth and experimentation.

unless it gets one some real exchanges and soon it's dead meat. exrates is pure fakery. hitbtc is a piece of crap with $400 of volume. total real volume is just over $500.

100% inevitable.

no one should be surprised by the outcome. forks of forks are not a sound basis to build something that others will trust.

compare how litecoin have conducted themselves to this. it's pitiful.

i don't know if crypto winter is the deciding factor rather than outright scamminess but nothing smelt right about it to me from minute one.

maybe it'll make a comeback under 'new management' in a couple of years when they've bought it all up for 1 sat again.

the options for amusement these days magnify our existing personality traits. they don't change them.

if you're a narcissist it'll give you many more opportunities to indulge that. if you're curious then the world is now your oyster. if you're inclined towards activism then that suddenly became way more feasible.  

within a short time anyone can have almost any book, film or piece of music or information in their hands. they can track down like minded people and discover places and events they would otherwise never have known about.

you can use it to enable yourself or enslave yourself. it's entirely in your own hands and the blame or credit is all yours too.

yes. it's really getting out of hand now and places like coinmarketcap don't seem to care. ideally places like coinmarketcap wouldn't have the power they seem to have ended up with.

take a look at this market on exrates which is identical to most of their others. the buy orders amount to less than $20 in total yet trades worth way more are happening every few minutes.



i'd say that volume was 100% fake. if there was a buy or sell placed by a real person for starters that market is so thin you couldn't sell $1 worth without destroying it completely. second of all their bots will simply ignore it and carry on trading around it.

i can only guess they're hoping to fool real people into joining and gradually turning down their fakery, but exrates has incredibly high withdrawal fees so maybe pocketing that when people leave in disgust is their prime income.

it's the same with the zero fee chinese exchanges. places like BTCC would immediately go silent when their bot turned off. Okcoin employees said they operated bots.

if i were running coinmarketcap and any similar site i'd delist anywhere like this after observing for a few days. they're worthless.

btcpay is nothing more than a bunch of code open to all. if they wanted btx then it's there waiting to be integrated. it's their choice. it's nowhere near a full service thing like bitpay. it smooths a few aspects of accepting payments. you still have to do plenty of running yourself.

in some ways it's not a big deal, in other ways it is.

the nature of the distribution screwed it. full supply, unlike having to manually claim it like conventional forks which ensures most don't bother, followed by giving out large amounts free.

that's not a recipe for a valued project.

btcpay is the future. some day it's going to outweigh any commercial offering. cheapair, one of the longest standing bitcoin travel places, chose them over bitpay.

agreed about the endless posting of the same photo. i don't know what the guy is trying to achieve. all he achieved from me is an ignore. suddenly this thread looked alot easier on the eye.

there's a comment here from a guy who says they shut down his $80,000 account and have blanked him ever since.

i don't understand why anyone would risk that much on a nothing exchange but i guess we're all different.

i think its window of opportunity to establish itself has passed. maybe there'll be some random pumps at some point. i would not buy into this coin. i won't dump now either.

it's way less insulting than most of the shitforks out there. not enough people care enough to figure out the difference.
