Re: [ANN] LINUX PAY COIN | MASTERNODE | POS | INSTANT MATURITY | PRIVATE | MULTISEND

**BEWARE**

I'd like to notice users, that they are claiming 1 confirmation as their best feature.

Beware, confirmations aren't there for fun. Confirmations set a minimum number of blocks that should be cheated by an attacker to do a successful double-spend attack. This means, an attacker using linuxpay may be able to do a double spending, in just the next block. This is a major security concern.

As comparison, a coin with 6 confirmations like bitcoin, will require a potential attacker to cheat at least 6 blocks before being able to do a double spend. This number was chosen under the assumption that it's hard to control more than 10% of the mining power.

Now figure out what happens with one confirmation. So BEWARE of what you buy.

EDIT

As you may see, some minutes after my posts, they are simulating fake users.

Just wanted to point out that I raised some concerns in discord, related to the credibility of this project.

My points were:

* Did anyone realize Linux is a registered trademark of the Linux Foundation?
* Devs seems teenagers, the discord channel doesn't look serious at all.
* Whitepaper has no content. They are just advantaging from their name, so they are earning money infringing a trademark.

Result: they banned me.

I highly recommend to not buy this coin.

Must say i am having doubts about this as there is no updates at all no ETA on anything, is this project still moving forward?

Be patient. Devs are serious people and are actually working hard to supply a stable wallet.

There's no ETA because they are waiting for the shipping of the new ASIC miners. However in discord they said if the shipping is delayed more, they will release the wallet anyway.

Hyperspace will be beneficial for the decentralized cloud ecosystem. If they manage to fund hosts using fiat could definitely break the mainstream success. I hope the Hyperspace and Sia team will cooperate and share as much code as possible.

If you have a clear idea of the underlying technology I'd say going with a true coin is better, especially if this coin isn't going to provide exotic features and you can implement it in a few weeks.

Tokens are good for claiming funds, but you need to provide strong evidence you are going, and you are able to implement your vision.

Re: How to overcome depression?

They say magnesium and vitamin d3 can help depression. But your friend should ALWAYS consult a doctor first before taking these.

And most important before taking any pills, along exercise check if you get enough sunlight and eat healty food!

Fruits and vegetables contains almost everything you need, prefer always season foods.

I think ASICs can only make the price higher on medium-term, because they move the project to a less amateur level...but well just my 2 cents.

Re: benefits of meditation

what is meditation? think about nothing? think about something specific? what is it?

First secret of good meditation is to avoid forcing the stream of thought. It's like a river.
Just like sleep, originally scientists thought meditation was like switching off the brain, instead they found the brain activity increase especially in prefrontal cortex, that's where our most complex thoughts are located.

Meditation is like turning the brain in a diagnostic phase, neural connections reorganize and thinking improve subsequently. Once, I was of the opinion meditation was a lost of time...today I changed completely ideas  Smiley
