Re: Message to Satoshi, please dump your 1million bitcoins
by
RealJoshuar

1) As you can clearly see on https://blockchain.info/pools Bitcoin mining is condensed into mostly a few pools. Coinbase themselves own the largest % of Bitcoins after Satoshi.

What does mining have to do with anything? I agree that the hashpower isn't as well distributed as well as I would like it to be, but it shouldn't matter for as long as a single entity doesn't hold more than 50%.

2) Constant forks that are "accepted" undermine Bitcoin, such as Bitcoin Cash, etc. This shows to the average person that Bitcoin is more like play money than anything substantial. Do you see there being any variants of the USD? No, there's only one United States Fiat

No forks are actually accepted by the community as the true Bitcoin though. Every fork is a side project and an altcoin. The moment it forks from Bitcoin, it becomes a different entity which takes advantage of Bitcoin's open source nature to use its branding. There is only one Bitcoin just like there is only one United States fiat. Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash is far more comparable to, say, the United States Dollar to the Australian Dollar -- they may share a portion of their name but they're different entities.

3) Bitcoin could never be anything close to an ideal method of payment. There is absolutely no way to solve Bitcoin's volatility currently, hence it will never become widely adopted. Not to mention once Bitcoin's are stolen, the action cannot be reversed(Like it could with banks, etc), and in the future quantamn computing will break into Bitcoin. Those few among many are reasons the average person will never use this crypto to buy groceries at the supermarket. Also, bitcoin is becoming used less, as Steam and others have stopped accepting it due to it's extremely slow confirmation times and high fees.

I respect that opinion. It's easy to be pessimistic towards Bitcoin's future as a method of payment because of how things have been going recently. However, there is no guarantee that quantum computing can break into Bitcoin. The slow confirmation times and high fees are also set to be addressed by future changes like the Lightning Network. Only time will tell.

Unfortunately quantum computing can 100% break into Bitcoins PoW. It can also break any known crypography today. The issue is, centralized services, while they can be hacked, your money is still ensured and $ gained by the attacker(digital) would be rendered void and worthless by the government. So if your bank get's hacked, you have an insurance for upto 250,000$ in the USA. So yea the hacking is going to cause problems(privacy leaks, etc), but not a total disruption.

However, if Bitcoin PoW were to be hacked, it's game over, the currency is dead from that point on. The reason being is because once your coins are stolen, you cannot get them back. There is no insurance. The only question is when will this hack occur, 5 years, a decade from now? That is unfortunately, a huge flaw in a crypto like this. The future of cryptocurrency is not bitcoin, it's a currency with a built in, very advanced A.I(this right now isn't even remotely feasible, so I'm talking maybe a few decades in the future).

The future of money as a whole, is not cryptocurrency either. In the advent of the internet shutting down or being disrupted for whatever reason, there would be no feasible way to use any cryptocurrency(crypto's require the internet). However, physical fiat would not be affected.

Re: Wire transfer denied for involving crypto currency

Cause crypto is mostly used for illegal transactions, like drugs. There's literally no other use for crypto currencies(btc) seeing that it's slow with extremely high fees.

This and I've given up on the idea of cryptos as currencies of the future, due to quantum computing. If your coins are stolen because the blockchain is broken into(a extremely real and soonish event), you can't do anything about it and they're lost forever. With a bank or physical commodities(gold, platinum for ex), at least you have insurance and/or a physical item(that can't be hacked), and can get your money back

This version is so much better than the first one haven't crashed and its mining nicely. But what is the mandatory cool down is that the time between blocks?

It seems so. I checked and there's a 299 seconds (Basically 5 minute) wait time between when each block is mined

Steps I took to get this working.

Open your command line and cd to the directory.

Run the following commands.

1. ipfs init
2. ipfs daemon --enable-pubsub-experiment

---Wait until you see Daemon is ready ---

Open another command/terminal

3. rcoind
4. open tkwallet

Once I did it in that sequence it seems to run.  After doing these initial steps if you need to close it start at step 2.

rcoind -cli create  (Creates a new address)
rcoind -cli "Wallet Name" (Loads cli interface)


If anyone wants to test my address is vms6isqmrrsihuxme67c46ijcojtmr2nmmtuoa3mj2p5hgwrvnbq

Sent 10 RCN to vms6isqmrrsihuxme67c46ijcojtmr2nmmtuoa3mj2p5hgwrvnbq

tell me if you get it

*just set another 10*

Re: Google partnered with Peculium!

Yep two pm's sent out, any official proof from google? I'll pay out to paypal or bitcoin now if you do(as well as invest in this coin) As said before, using google adsense/marketing partnership(which any company can sign up for), does not count. That's not a strategic partnership

Please have patience i will deliver 100% verifiable proof until the 14th January per the terms of our bet.
Please meanwhile set up the multisig escrow with one of the trusted members.

You and i will send the money to the multisig escrow and the bet will be decided latest on the 14th January.
Nobody will be able to run away then Smiley

Well I'm waiting on a pm back. And if you're already partnered with them and Google recognizes the mutual partnership(Which is odd since I haven't seen any news about this whatsoever, except from this thread of course). Then can you supply the information now? Since you're already partnered with them, and it isn't adsense as you're saying

I will supply the information but it is not possible for me to show you a contract because i am not the CEO and it would be additionally very bad business practice.

I will talk with our business relation manager and see.
This wont be possible now on christmas eve at 11 pm gmt+1.

Does this sound plausible?

Please just set up the escrow where each of us can sent 1000$ to.

That doesn't make sense. So 18 days from now you'll have the information? If you're already a strategic partner then you should have some source confirming this. No news outlets? No info from google themselves?

Is this 18 days going to be you photoshopping some legal documents together and presenting that as evidence? When clearly the easiest way is to get Google to confirm this, which shouldn't be a problem considering they've confirmed their partnerships with 60 other companies already...

Yes this was actually my idea - to get google to make an announcement! Unfortunately we have christmas and new years eve - this is vacation time.

I dont get it first you agree to the terms of the bet and now you are turning back because we/i gonna photoshop a contract with google?
If i do photoshop anything i dont need 18 days.

If you dont have 1000$ please just say so we can bet for a smaller amount too Roll Eyes

1) Christmas or not google release such info usually immediately. So it's curious that you're saying google is waiting because of "vacation time". And like I said I'm waiting for escrow to pm me back, I have no problem making an extra $1k

Ok lets increase the bet to 2.000 $

It seems to me, this news about partnered with Google is a fake. Inaccessible level)) But if the truth, this blows up the price, there will be a very big flight to the Moon =))) Grin

If this news is a fake, Google might have reacted to it already just like what Microsoft did with Iota. The reason that Google doesn't verify the partnership yet is because of the Holidays. They are on a break because of Christmas season. Let's wait on January when they are back to their work.

Or just like the dozens of other coins claiming to have been partnered with famous comapnies, Google high ups don't know peculium even exists. I'd be happy to be proved wrong, and I'm pretty sure they're claiming they've partnered with google's adsense(which any company can sign up for and do), which has nothing to do with partnering with google the corporation

Dev's for RCoin
by
RealJoshuar
on 26/12/2017, 20:41:15 UTC
RCoin is a decentralized peer-to-peer currency building upon the ideas of Bitcoin. In comparison with other cryptocurrencies, RCoin does not eliminate transaction fees, nor keep them at ridiculously high rates even for small transactions. Transaction fees are determined as a fixed 1.5% of a transaction’s amount. RCoin is designed to be ASIC resistant by requiring relatively large amounts of memory per hash (6-12MB).

Latest Version

The current version is RCoinPlus-v1

Information

* RCoin uses the Scrypt hashing algorithm.
* RCoin DOES NOT USE A BLOCKCHAIN, but simply keeps track of every transaction (this means no transaction fees, and near instant transactions)
* You can mine a block every 5 minutes.
* Solo-mining is feasible.
* No more coins after 7 years. (You will earn negative coins if you try to mine after then.)
* Estimated total supply: 25540000 RCN.

Rcoin(I'm not a rcoin developer, just find this coin interesting) is looking for a outstanding dev team!

Pmed you. And as I said before the advertising/marketing "partnership" where anyone can be a partner does not count. Looking back it should have been worded better as "partnership" is a general term. When people say "partnership" they're referring to strategic partnerships, requiring legal documents where BOTH companies admit to working together whether it's through combining resources etc.

I'd love to see that honestly and not sarcastically

Again. Just because a google employee(s) supports your ICO, doesn't mean Google the COMPANY supports your ICO(Which they don't). There is absolutely no confirmation that google the company is partnered with peculium. You're scamming people by saying that, most pathetic thing I've seen today yet.

It's like saying(again), if some employees at my local Apple Store support Zebracoin, that DOES NOT mean that Apple the company supports Zebracoin...obviously.

The google marketing guy at HQ Hamburg liked the partnership announcement already. The Head of the blockchain/AI part will do it after christmas.

It is not a random iphone seller in a random apple shop.

Are you ready to put your money where you mouth is?
How about we bet if this is true or not?

I'll bet $1,000 USD that Google as a company is not partnered with Peculium. I don't care about some random "marketing guy" LOL, that's not a partnership lmao. What kind of bullshit are you trying to pull here?

Quoted.
Please have the 1.000 $ ready.


Great, would you like to use escrow.com or something else? I'd like to see you have a partnership agreement with google and a confirmation from the company as a whole, thanks. Whether that's a tweet from their official account or anything of that sort.

I dont know if they can tweet it - but the proof must be 100% verifiable.

Well it has to be confirmed by Google execs that they have a legal partnership with Peculium. I'd actually love to see that. Anyone can be an advertising partner, that's not an actual partnership where both companies work towards a common goal

Sure i agree thus i say 100% verifiable proof.
I just cannot promise they will tweet it or whatever.
But the proof has to be 100% verifiable.

Do you agree that we can use an escrow by an trusted member of this forum who already escrowed millions woth of BTC or ETH?
I would suggest ETH to have no problems with congestion and fees.

I've already said who I messaged already. And I'd love to see your proof! https://spiderbook.com/company/16070/?&industry=All&relationship=partner&tag=
