Re: MobileGo Signature Campaign Information

 It is not bad form at all. Picture it this way.  You and up to 9 friends are hired to do a job which you are promised will pay $300,000.  Before the job is completed, 3 of your friends stop helping and go do other things. When the job is completed you are Very Surprised to find you and your friends now only received $210,000 instead of the promised $300,000. That is what has happened to all the signature campaingees- we got accountant'ed and are not being paid the full amount that was agreed. Right now everyone is super happy to have gotten payment so it is highly likely not enough people will ask for the terms to be honored to actually concern mGo enough to do so. Nobody is asking for EXTRA or entitlement, this is a straight case of mGo did not pay what they pledged to.
 
 As to gratitude: I promoted mGo positively multiple places, actively trade their main token, and continue having their logo as my avatar. What makes you in any way think I have no gratitude, other than asking that their terms of the promotion be fully honored ? I like the company and both their coins.
Woah, ok, yeah you clearly misunderstand what the 300,000 number represented.

We were to distribute 300,000 MOBILEGO NOT DOLLARS
. We always were going to distribute 300k mobilego. So when mobilego was worth 2 dollars 3 weeks ago, we were still distributing 300,000 mobilego worth 600,000 dollars. Right now we only have a couple thousand mobilego left to distribute to people who haven't yet given us their addresses. So we've distributed about 295,000 MGO.

So getting angry over the fact that you didn't read the first page properly, seems a bit unreasonable right? And the worst part is this is still one of the most profitable bounties of all time, even after the price has dropped.

 Hey Jack. No, I did not misunderstand the first page. The $300,000 I mentioned is specifically a example of someone and their 9 friends doing a job. Now that you say 295,000 mGo has been distributed (to signature campaigners) my concern about the missing portions of the 300,000 is moot and void. I mistakenly believed that you guys were keeping the portions that had initially been allocated to those who wound up not meeting the participation requirements, and that said tokens were going to be used for purposes such as tournaments, etc, rather than go to campaign participants. I believe there are earlier posts mentioning that being the plan, so I believed it.

  I received the bounty.

 HOWEVER- REMEMBER WE ARE NOT GETTING THE FULL 300,000 mgo that our deal was for ! MgO are distributing CONSIDERABLY LESS than the 300,000 we were promised to share in, and that is both UNFAIR and ILLEGAL. We are entitled to a good deal more than we have been partially compensated for and should demand the rest. Rather than keep for themselves the 'shares' that invalid accounts were originally allocated, the FULL SUM of the promised 300,000 should have been divided to us at payout time, as that was the deal we agreed to.

 Make some noise or we will never see our full payments.

I think it's bad form to come here demanding what you're demanding. I participated in the signature campaign and I don't feel a similar sense of entitlement to any undistributed shares. I believe that what we all received was quite generous. And I think the team has a right to decide what to do with any unused portion of the allocation. I don't think you would have a legal case of any kind when you claim that it's illegal.

My suggestion is that you drop the sense of entitlement and replace it with a stronger sense of gratitude.

 Not only are we beyond every promised deadline,  we also are not getting the full 300,000 mgo we were promised would be divided amung participants. The signature campaigners did their part in helping raise awareness for the ICO, but have not been and apparently will not be compensated the agreed amount. In most cases this would be considered Fraud. They should pay the full agreed on amount of 300,000 mgo to participants, but instead have said they are diverting a sizable chunk into a pool for other uses by other people who did not participate in the signature campaign agreement.

 HINT:  Trollbox was the only way people were finding out about the large number of accounts polo was not allowing to cash out.

 HINT:  the logic does not hold. chatMods are not trained paid support service staff. If a huge place like polo NEEDS more support
they could just HIRE new support, but they do not seem to have.
 
 For safety, I personally am moving my funds from Polo- if they let me have them.

 Worsening world economy is the greatest threat to crypto. In tough times non tangible things lose attentionOna small scale a economic crisis or two helps crypto as citizens in places hit that way move to crypto for its safety, but there is no safety any place during depressions and recessions.

 I like the Golem. They have been showing real world use of it for 3d rendering and that will be a game changer in the field. Imagine everyone being able to render their own pixar movie without the months of rendering for it.

 The bubble crypto is in..is also the same bubble stocks are in. The fake one holding the entirely world economy together. Nothing has changed from 2008 so we are well doomed when/if it goes as the new burst will be a gigantic depression. non tangible things like alt coins dont do well during depressions.

 JPM buying it up more publicly SHOULD sour the coin for the community- BANKSTERS are invading. But with all the influx very few people consider morals or premines or banksters in the equation any more, only profit.

The motherboard has only 5 pcie slots, so my guess is the maximum it can reach is 5 cards

 They could add a pci-e 3:1 splitter for extra cards. You rarely hear about those but they do work nice as long as the mobo can handle all the power it needs to pump out

 No.  Segwit pumped up ltc because it was there first, and now that other coins have segwit ltc is melting a bit. If ltc gets lightning going AND it is exclusive to ltc AND nothing similar gets added to other popular coins, then ltc could get more used.

 The stronger eth becomes, the less tied to btc it becomes. Btc used to be so dominant that whatever happened to it generally happened ot the whole industry, but that is more tame now. Yesterday when eth went up 25% btc only barely moved around 1% most of that.

 When little alts are still mostly traded in bitcoin vs other currencies, btc influence is greater.

 no real future as a store of value or investment, but should the small community reinvigorate with more new uses for it the doge could live on years more.
