Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW, Darksend and InstantX
Yep, I like Dash.. This is the Dash thread. I guess your not a Dash supporter then, your here for the eyeballs
Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW, Darksend and InstantX
Tell me, why is it a good situation to have the wealth concentrated in 3400 wallets?
If I were you guys, I would like to see a lower MN count @ 1000 DASH and lobby for a lower threshold for setting up a MN.

Not every wallet is - or needs to be - owned by a single person. As I often point out, blockchains are not analogues of bank accounts, they are analogous of units of base value.
Right now, these economies are tiny. If they ever develop to anything like significant sizes then the correspondence between blockchain addresses and ownership will be even more ambigious. For example, there is gold stashed in vaults all over the world where the entire vault is not owned by a single person just because it happens to be at the same address.
The network requirement to collateralise a masternode is 1000 Dash. That requirement says nothing about it having to be funded by a single person. Unlike the fiat credit network, crypto and owners are decoupled - thats the whole point of it (in the same way that gold and owners are de-coupled).
So you suggest that grouping DASH is a good idea to increase masternodes.
This introduces counterparty risk and centralization.
great! (or not?)
Case in point from my post.
Logo - check.
Sigspam - check.
Panhandling shitcoin on Dash thread - check.
It's all love
What are the forecasts of 8 bits coins?
Now there is only a dump in prices.
Now there is only a dump in prices.
I do not have any specific information, but the gist of an important behind the scenes conversation I had with someone important to this effort is that there will be something coming in a month'ish. I'm really sorry for not giving specifics, but I honestly don't have any, and as for who I spoke with, I don't want to put undue pressure on him either. So, there we are... If we can keep 8bit on the exchanges (daily volume over .4 btc generally speaking), there will be something in the works fairly soon'ish...
Which, makes 0.00003500'ish quite a great deal, assuming we have faith in this mystery...
Personally, I'm still quite rich in 8bit, still staking, and still running masternodes. Oh, and still running the faucet for you all as well.
Good news. I still have my stash.

Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW, Darksend and InstantX
I have a theory that if you guys stop "feeding the trolls" (quit replying to their posts! dont give them the attention they are whining for!)... they will get bored and go trollolol somewhere else...
wanna try?
wanna try?
Nothing can stop the trolls, because Dash thread is the most popular thread on BCT with +5 million views.
If your desperate for attention, Dash thread is the #1 destination, because it has the most eyeballs. It's that simple. If you want to spam your sig, or try to get traders to your shitcoin, in the troll's mind, this is the place (because they don't know they look stupid).
It is a big complement to Dash, like Oscar Wilde said, the only thing worse than people talking about you, is no people talking about you
EDIT: maybe that is why the Bitcoin mods are angry too

This is like the 5th thing I saw saying Litecoin is going down. i can feel a LTC pump in the making

Nailed it
The core of the group is still here. Waiting....Listening to 8 bits old music.....
We are indeed.... The question is where do we go from here?
Well, going to get a beer, I think that's the first thing. After that, I don't know
Re: Is there any real difference in Vitalik of Ethereum and Bobsurplus of crapcoin?
From trollbox:
"Cern are working on a ETH powered time displacement device to send naked Vitalik back through a worm whole."
Can Bob Surplus do that?
Didn't think so.

Re: Altcoin Sub Fans... Time to Let Go of Your Altcoin and Buy Bitcoin
Alright guys! This is the moment of truth!
Stays above 300 = Good.
Goes below 300 = Bad. Duh.

Next up: Bitcoin @ $400, featuring Big Trouble in Little China
I gave a condition for my trade and it didn't confirm.
Anyway, I'm still buying.
Woooow. Really? He said that? I bet they were trying to manipulate the market...
You gotta be the genius Karpeles to pull off 1 to 1000.
no toke, the OP is the paid troll from the Dash thread, check it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=216500;sa=showPosts
Plus, alt scams are when the dev dumps. Dash dev is still here 2 years later, huh? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jw5Gk-iuy0
Re: Getgems is getting 1650 iOS downloads a week at the moment.
that's good. What date is the winner announced?
This thursday, but to be honest they already have won in my opinion, and will get 250,000 dollars even if they aren't in top 3. Any group that can throw 5million dollars around as prizes must be quite powerful. I'm actually more excited about the news articles that will get written based on the fact it was a finalist....and a win definitely will make it high profile, Bloomberg, CNBC level even.
thanks, let's hope it wins
Why even bother naming it? You'll only get bored and give it a new name in a few months anyway.

that's true, you can change the name later, you need to just launch it and get it out there

I reckon. but being a kid in the 80s was totally amazing. if you don't believe me, just watch goonies and karate kid
Hahahaha! My uncle made me watch those! He has a collection of old movies in his HD. The 80's Karate Kid is lol. Digged the Goonies tho. Kept laughing to see Josh Brolin so young wearing the 80's get up. lol
bro, karate kid was epic. If you were 6 years old
EDIT: Holy Crap! Josh Brolin is Brandon from the Goonies! lol
Re: Bear Report: Shitcoiners across the globe put on suicide watch!
It seems like the recent news that banks are partnering to experiment with "blockchain technology" took the wind out of Ripple's sails, since being a settlement network for banks was the only interesting thing they had going. Now that banks are going to use their own closed system, Ripple is left searching for a reason to exist. The price is sinking accordingly.
Similarly, the media's attention on blockchain technology (i.e., private or "permissioned" ledgers) is making it clear that there's just very little need for more than 2 or 3 public blockchains, and that they have to have a strong network effect to have any utility and hope for long-term prospects.
Dogecoin is kinda sad in that some people really believed that it had a future, even though it was created specifically as a parody, being purposefully ludicrous and flippant. It was all fun and games until the price charts started steeply rising, and soon a great crowd of speculators assembled, hoping that they were on the launch pad of a new Bitcoin rocket ride. But we're talking about money here, and the rest of the non-internet meme world doesn't have the time or inclination to consider the value of a weird dog-themed cryptocurrency whose proponents communicate primarily in glurge. To outsiders, Bitcoin is weird enough as it is, so Dogecoin never stood a chance.
Bitshares is cool and all, with nifty things like DPOS and pegged assets and whatnot, but in the end it's the network that matters. That's the hard part. Your bells and whistles don't mean anything if nobody uses your coin. Bitshares and NXT and DASH all followed the same trajectory: a fast launch to around a $50M market cap (and higher), and then a slow drift back to earth as no network effect takes hold - no merchants, no media, no trusts, etc.
Litecoin seems to hang in there perhaps because it's just old enough to be entrenched as a secondary cryptocurrency with its own significant network effect. It's interesting to me that a technologically advanced coin such as Monero, with its obvious privacy advantages, can't even come close to eating into Litecoin's value and market share. That is the power of the first-mover advantage and of the network effect.
I can't hate fully on altcoins, though. The do serve as a way for home hobbyists to convert electricity into Bitcoin, people who otherwise might not bother to get into Bitcoin. They're like alternative Bitcoin mining chains.

I get that if you were lucky enough to get Bitcoin early, all alts are just "shitcoins" and you look down on them. and yes most are scams.
But Bitcoin has serious defects though. Like it takes 10 minutes to buy something. Surely you realize that is never going to work in the real world, its basically just play money.
Coins like Dash with instant transactions, that is something serious that people can actually use like they use a credit card. how is that bells and whistles?
But I know, no one is using Dash right now, or the other few alts with something useful over Bitcoin. And its hard to buy them.
Just saying though, and curious.
