Re: [EMC] Emercoin Speculation and Discussion - Top 10 Cryptocurrency

From my previous post...

I would think that if a product decided to use (create) an EMC SSL cert, the end user, or company selling the product, would ultimately purchase an EMC coin, or several, for a single SSL cert?

I was able to find the answer on Emercoin's website:

http://emercoin.com/EMCSSL_GUIDE

Quote
Preparation of coins
An Emercoin transaction must be made in order for a new certificate to be created in the network. The cost of the transaction is about 0.3 EMC which is very little at the current rate, but if you don't own any, you will need to start by getting some EMC.

This really creates a possible demand, depending on how/if the EMC SSL certs get used.

I heard about Emercoin on a news story on the Microsoft Partnership and have been reading up on the coin ever since.  (that's how I found this thead)
I really like the concept of the coin, especially the EMC SSL, this is really spectacular IMO.
One thing I cannot seem to find the details on is, when Emercoin shares its Blockchain with Microsoft Azure as "BaaS" (blockchain as a service), how would this impact the actually demand on Emercoin? 

I would think that if a product decided to use (create) an EMC SSL cert, the end user, or company selling the product, would ultimately purchase an EMC coin, or several, for a single SSL cert?  I am trying to understand if there could truly be a demand created if a company had a product that required an EMC SSL cert. If they had 100,000 users, would this spawn a purchase (and hold) for each user of an EMC coin to maintain the cert?  Or would the EMC blockchain only handle the PoW/PoS and no EMC would ever be purchased?   

Is there any other item in the Emercoin concept that could potentially create a large demand?  Therefore driving the price up?

Some coins survive only on news and speculation. Hoping this one actually has natural demand due to outstanding concepts built into it.

Re: Canadian Regulators: BTC exchanges are not a money service business, carry on!

There was a story on NPR this morning about Canada trying to bring tech startups to Canada from the US with a new "startup visa" that allows companies from the US to work in Canada.

Quote
Alongside a freeway in Northern California is a billboard which reads: Pivot to Canada. The billboard is urging high-tech immigrants living in the U.S. to pay attention to Canada. Canada wants to attract highly-skilled, foreign-born tech workers who are fed up with the visa process that they must follow to remain in the U.S.

The bitcoin story could be valid if Canada saw a way to bring more tech companies there. 

Here is a link to the story.

Perhaps, but I doubt it. I think after(or during) the conference a lot of new infrastructure is going to be revealed and that people and companies will hit gold rush mode and it will take off from there. I think Bitcoin is a lot farther along than even we think it is. Things move faster than press releases come out.

If there is a large increase in demand, then yes, it will go up. 

In the words of Walter White...  "Supply and demand rule this world."  Cool

I think the big money is trying to hold Bitcoin stable through this conference. It's right in Silicon Valley, too important to showcase a wildly fluctuating product to investors. I think they might let go of the reigns after and it'll shoot up quick as companies start making grabs.

I agree that there may be some money trying to stabilize the price right now during the conference.  Once that money steps out, it should actually dip down I would think.  Seems like there is a good base above $100.  So, it may dip down to the 100-110 range.

I don't think bitcoin will EVER be illegal. Trading/exchanging bitcoin for USD could become illegal, but trading, spending, mining, bitcoin will never be against the law in the US.

Re: New ASIC mined coins "Greed Wall"?
by
Grantmo
on 15/05/2013, 15:46:38 UTC
Doesn't the concept of greed and selling apply to anyone who owns coins?

Sure, greed and fear impact all of us.  My greed and fear with my limited number of BTC does not affect much of anything at all, up or down. But my point is that someone who is newly mining with an ASIC, stocking up on 500+ BTC in a short period of time, or several of these people at once, could find the $120 price too attractive and choose to sell.  This could create some sort of wall over the next few months. 

On the flip side...  I was surprised that yesterday's drop did not go below 103.  Yet another wall of sorts in resistance.

New ASIC mined coins "Greed Wall"?
by

on 14/05/2013, 15:46:41 UTC
Forget charts for a minute and consider greed.  The 266 bubble popped due to the pressure of the price being so high that people who mined coins from early on, and had a large stockpile of them, were ready to "cash out".  These people are not guilty of "not believing" in bitcoin, they think it's a great concept.  They are also not immune to greed or making some money for themselves.

If the the above is true, or had an impact at 266, then the bitcoin price may be affected again with this greed factor.  There are a "few" new happy owners of ASIC miners currently mining BTC.  These people should be gathering large amounts of BTC. There will be a point at which the Greed Factor will come into play and they will start dumping large amounts of coins.  This could hold the price for the next few months at under $140 or even lower. 

This is not going to cause a crash, but could hold the price from crossing the $120, $130 or the $140 mark for a while, roughly 3 - 6 months.

on 07/05/2013, 21:17:32 UTC
SpecuMiner:  A person who mines bitcoin, then sells those coins on the exchanges in order to buy back lower.

Used in a sentence.

"As a SpecuMiner, I turned 1 mined bitcoin into 2 from selling high and re-buying low."

Roll call.  Who here is purely a specuminer?

My bitcoin wallet address - Mine forever?
by
Grantmo
on 07/05/2013, 21:06:11 UTC
I have downloaded the bitcoin client and the client has synced with the network.  I have made a few transactions with my wallet, both inbound and outbound.  I have also encrypted my wallet with a password. I have also backed up my wallet, locally, and also emailed it to my gmail account.  Two questions...

1. will the wallet address that I have used in the past continue to be mine forever? Or will it change after X number of transactions?

2. If I backed up my wallet 2 months ago, then made several more transactions after the backup, then my PC crashed, then restored from a 2 month old backup, would my restored wallet be 100% exactly the same as the one that crashed? Would I have the transactions that occurred after the backup?

Re: Does BitSpend eliminate the need for converting merchants to Bitcoin?

I looked at both websites, bitspend and bitsumo.  Great concept.  I plan on using one or both just to test it out.  This sort of thing builds confidence in BTC.

On the other hand, I wonder how long it will take for the US government to knock on the door of Bitspend.  Their servers are located outside of the US, but appears the company is based in the US.  They have an LLC registered.

Re: This could be a major milestone for Bitcoin..

So what happens if the US Federal government determines that it is illegal for any US business to accept bitcoin?  Could the currency still survive?  Would there be a use for it?  Since it would only be illegal to conduct business transactions with bitcoin, could it be used a currency between individuals?

Could the US Federal government merely make it illegal to trade bitcoins for USD? If so, how would it be enforced? Could a tax audit reveal a bank transaction to or from an exchange?  How would this effect the value of bitcoins?

I agree, BTC has potential to be used as it was intended, a currency.  We are still tied very closely to the value of BTC to the dollar.  But it has the ability to be used as a currency with no regards to what the Fed thinks or anyone else.  As long as I can sell something for bitcoins and then use that "money" to buy something else that I need.

I just got my last buy order in.  Hoping this is the bottom of the downturn.  I think when the Bitcoin2013 happens on May 17-19, there will be some positive news which should spike BTC back into the $145 range pretty easily. Also guessing that the top could be around $195 at that time.  Feeling bullish lately. 

Here's a link to the Bitcoin2013 conference.
