Re: [ANN][PIR] ---- PirateCoin | Exchange listed ---- Arrr!

You know....

It would only take around 0.5 btc to buy out all the way to 3700 satoshi.

1Mhash/s looks like it returns around $1/day. And there are not even enough buy orders so support that price if anybody did want to mine to sell.
Not to mention the difficulty is at a measly 0.04. Even at that diff nobody wants to mine it because the price is too low.

In order for anybody to give a crap about mining our booty, it needs to be real gold, not fool's gold. If anybody else wants to help, we could steal the whole lot of those low orders and jack up the value of our treasure.

And if we put in 0.5BTC you don't think it will be dumped down again? Because of the low diff...

Even if not then what? Who will buy from that point on?
It would simply need more people interested and the coins spread out to many different people so everybody just has a little booty. To achieve that there must be some use to the coin not just a lot of "arrr!" and "scullywags!".
A Pre-Ann would at least had created a pump and dump hype but it's only that if nothing else is offered to be done with a coin.

Guys since this coin is truly not going anywhere I say we ask Mr. Booty or whatever his name is to take it. I mean seriously, we have nothing here and no future without someone that is competent taking charge whether it is the direction we WANT or not. We HAVE to do something or we will become nothing.

Captain Hank Booty! ^^

But seriously I think I underlined their business strategy pretty accurate so basically we're fucked....

because if I were hank I would not risk my business strategy getting compromised by a bunch of guys who...I don't know how to put it actually...it just makes me sad...

Taking time arguing with me and trying to make me look bad after bailing at first but on the other hand don't even react to serious questions of community members...wtf?!

Your business model looks like the one from the underpants gnomes in southpark:


Step 1: Create Coin

Step 2:  ? ? arr ? ?

Step 3: Profit!


Maybe you should rename it to Trollcoin (even if it's already taken because who cares right?!)! at least then people would have a good laugh reading the former thread... XD

The irony of you talking about this is hilarious on so many levels.  In short, jog on.

A little self humor never killed anybody Wink

but too much can obviously kill a coin though! XD

What is self humor?  When you look in the mirror and laugh?  

You've added nothing productive to this whole thread and yet you still post.  Go ahead and 'talk to your techs' (ie the people who might actually have a grasp on how any of this interwebs stuff really works), and when you've done so... do your 'PRE-ANN' which would appear to have been your gripe all along.  Just don't call it PirateCoin, because, well, that IP is mine.  Have a good launch.

lol i have some of your shitcoins too you're forgetting that if that doesn't entitle me to post here what does? further i can't contribute to something, the posting and sometimes informing excluded, where certain people are thinking in terms of mutany (also talking about you that way) instead of cooperation and those people you give control and really believe that will lead anywhere?

My only request to you was to take down the pirate party logo and the ppi text, not the site/block explorer nor nodes. You simply didn't respond anymore and took down everything. I even wrote you a second pm (unanswered) stating:

"hey

i saw you took down the site. do you want me to take the domain of your hands? you wanna keep your nodes running? or are you just saying: "i'm out!" "screw you guys i'm going home!" ^^

either way just let me know how you want to handle this.
but i really want to assure you if you decide to take part in anyway just say a word. Smiley

greetz"

I don't understand what you want to blame me for now. I simply gave you a heads up that it's probably not a good idea to affiliate your p2p-network with an political movement without being a part of it and you obviously got scared and overreacted.



From the start this has been your take on the whole project.  That it should / should not be affiliated with a 'movement' that most people have never heard of and frankly have never cared about.

Since it was not me that chose to change the logo or the copy, I have very given very little consideration to it.  Personally I believe that any implied affiliation would be negative for the project as created.  It was conceived as a play on a pirate (as in 'arrrr', not as in 'oooh - free m0vi3z') theme which is inherently marketable - your very first comment shows how much you misunderstood this.  You're a pirateparty member.  Good for you.



I'm very sorry for you if you don't inform yourself well enough before you start a crypto project that could easily be affiliated with the pirate party and guess what as soon as you turned over control to the community that was the first thing they did!
And saying: "a movement that most people have never heard of and frankly have never cared about" just underlines your ignorance further. Wanna take a quick guess for example why the guys who had the logo idea had no luck getting piratebay on board?! because one of them will be a pirate party candidate soon!!!
And if you now really think he is doing this for "free m0vi3z" then I really have to doubt your intelligence.

You clearly have no idea what our party or project is all about so I don't really see the validity of your arguments.

New PirateCoin permanent node added:

addnode=98.174.25.28

Thanks.. the 2 you posted seemed to do the trick. Riddle me this.. why do most all of the new coins coming out have this sync problem? I've got wallets/coins that don't even have a .conf and work just fine. To me it appears to be either sloppy work on the part of the devs or that they just don't know WTF their doing. COMMENTS??

Most coins have this problem because the developers didnt bother to update the DNS seed nodes in the sourcecode.  You saw this problem because the piratecoin.co DNS nodes were taken offline.

If I can find an elegant way of handing over piratecoin.co to the community I will do so.  On the express condition that it's not used in any way to generate goodwill or promote the Pirate 'movement' in any way what-so-ever.  If they want a coin they can create their own, and the rest of the world will continue to not care.


Turn it over to me, then.  I do not, absolutely do not, want Piratecoin to have anything to do with this political "pirate movement" that MyCrotch keeps talking about.  Never heard about them before it was brought up here, and I care even less about it now.

I am already hosting the replacement website http://www.arrcoin.com and http://www.piratecoincrypto.com, as well as the new permanent node listed above.  It would be nice to get the original domain name back online.



finally somebody gets the double meaning of my alias... Grin

ohh and just to be clear I wanted to also give a heads up that a pirate party piratecoin is coming if you like it or not and it's launch will be properly pre-announced so I wish you much luck with your little project here if you want to go about it this way.

I repeatedly stated I was here from the launch and also have a bunch of coins so in my view I was acting in the best interest of all when I proposed to go with hanks ideas because it's also my best interest and I know what we would be up against if we kept sailing in this direction.

Sry if I maybe been to enthusiastic and overstated things but that was basically what i meant...

So the vote has an interesting outcome from my point of view.

Piratecoin: 17
Bootycoin: 18

and not to forget:

Not give a shit about the name: about 280 (visited the thread didn't vote)


Which in my opinion is the most powerful statement and I think it says:

"The name doesn't matter it's all about the marketing and the source-code..."

So I personally am still in favour of working together with hank here. His constructive motivated approach motivates me too and like I said in hanks and my email correspondence I am willing to donate some of my mined coins and contribute on every edge I can to make bootycoin a success.

The links to the new site have been updated in the first post.

For clarification to anyone that isn't 100% clear on this matter, had it not been for the involvement of Mike_Rotch, the original site, the DNS nodes, the block explorer and all the rest of it would still have been active.

My only request to you was to take down the pirate party logo and the ppi text, not the site/block explorer nor nodes. You simply didn't respond anymore and took down everything. I even wrote you a second pm (unanswered) after my last (unanswered) pm stating:

"hey

i saw you took down the site. do you want me to take the domain of your hands? you wanna keep your nodes running? or are you just saying: "i'm out!" "screw you guys i'm going home!" ^^

either way just let me know how you want to handle this.
but i really want to assure you if you decide to take part in anyway just say a word. Smiley

greetz"

That was on the 13th man! and now you come along and suddenly discover there is unusually much activity in your thread because of someone really looking and posting in here everyday. so you decide you want your pride back by talking bad about me?! i got news for you I'm not the one who made you lose it! people where talking bad about you long before the pirate party logo.

I don't understand what you want to blame me for now. I simply gave you a heads up that it's probably not a good idea to affiliate your p2p-network with an political movement without being a part of it and you obviously got scared and overreacted.

So welcome back! try to be a little more constructive this time!

b.s. is this PirateCoin, or a completely new coin ?

I would say it depends on the outcome of the vote....but I'm not captain hank and I am not able to talk instead of him.

what's the short name of this coin? is it PIR or PTC as it says in the wallet?
ARR to the moon !

lol then you would have to vote for bootycoin because at least in my opinion it would make us even less credible if we again use a short name already claimed and if we want this p2p network to get bigger that would not mean a good public opinion.

don't you think so too? opinions?

It was PTC at the beginning then it was decided it should be PIR because PTC was already taken but the wallet never got changed even though it was at two exchanges (one down already because of lacking security and the other is not popular and i believe i heared had issues as well) as PIR and now it seems some guys from within the community are setting up social media sites on their own and want to advertise it as ARRR what also already is claimed by bootycoin (which isn't clear if the community wants to adapt this brand, there is a vote pending right now). So it's pretty confusing with all those un-consensus and persons acting on their own calling it mutany or not acting as for the wallet that hasn't got PIR in it etc...

as posted above: I think it would be best to refer you to page 29 to catch up...

That's the reason I think it's unrealistic that the majority of pirate party members would vote on adopting this p2p-network (like some have proposed). Innovation is key I believe else it's just another coin copy (no offense) and holding on to that is something i don't really understand.

has the dev still plans with this coin? seems pretty silent. Undecided

I think it would be best to refer you to page 29 to catch up...

Why change the name of the coin. Changing the name for anything other than legal reasons is rediculous.

Like I said one really can't exclude that legal problems could occur. But I'm no lawyer and don't know if it would be a problem in some countries or even worldwide. (After all it's a global movement)


I think if the Pirate Political Party adopts the coin it would be a move in the right direction. Regardless of how altruistic the party is or isn't. The party just needs a media spin doctor to promote their cause in a positive direction.

I didn't quite get the input on the last part. Could you try being more specific?

LOOKS like another... no sync wallet... shit coin. NODES anyone???

Sorry there appears to be only one at the moment - will setup another permanent node soon

addnode=85.25.223.7

Thank you. I created the pirate.conf file and added maxconnections=100 to the file and also the
addnode=85.25.223.7 and I still have 0 active connections and the wallet is not syncing. Is there anything else I need to do to get the wallet to sync?

I would just read a few pages back...

I wanted to setup a new node but yeah would you, if you were me? I now understand why the dev made the decision to let it be...

If you wanna read everything it starts at page 29...

The original dev said he'd hand the project over to the pirate party and after that never was heard of again.
But the community wanted to continue and not give the name to the pirate party, so there is not really a dev.

The situation is a little bit confusing at the moment.

I personally think the coin should be relaunched by the pirate party international movement. (Even though I myself have got a decent amount of pirate coins that i would be willing to give up)

The original dev DID NOT say he'd hand the project to the pirate party, he said he'd hand the project to the PIRATE COIN COMMUNITY.  He gave ME the login info, not the Pirate Party.

I, too, spent a lot of time mining this coin and I'm not willing to give it up.

There is a secret Facebook group created to plan a marketing strategy for this coin.  If you would like to join it, add me as a friend and I'll let you in.

i'm not responsible for him not announcing it to the community but like i said a few days after he took down the site and did not answer to my pm's anymore i figured he left me to tell you what he said before he left...

so here's the said pm:"

copied it including the additional info on the left...

what i think the community now needs is less renegade approaches but rather a dev...

so are you a programmer and if so are you able to take care of everything that has to be taken care of?
for example:
sycript asics are already in use. Are you ready for to do (at least) a scrypt-n hardfork or do you think asics will be good for the coin?
etc. etc.

Well if that is a possibility then lets do something and get this coin going!

However, think about this... you say "sex sells" and sure it does but look at sexcoin that has already gone this route and there is no way another sex-type coin (IMO) will match it. That being said, the current network hashrate is only 140 MH/s and the coin is selling for 500 satoshi (with the same block reward as PIR). We could have attained this with PIR by itself if we had marketing done on the coin. So unless this booty guy has a better plan than the whole sexcoin community then I doubt it is going to do us any good to make this coin all about sex and kill any hope of professional investors. Maybe I'm short-sighted here but this is just how I see it.

I think you could be right that you are a little short-sighted here.

Sexcoin hits you in the face for what it really is but bootycoin works more subliminal, like hank already pointed out and it has also the pirate theme in it. I think that's a great combo because you get a broader spectrum of uses for the coin and people. So i believe it's not that certain you can state sexcoin will never be matched.
Besides he said he has a marketing plan and merchants on board...what more could one ask for?

In my opinion if he really does go along with us we all would owe him big-time...
