Do you need to create a thread?
You could at least put some information in here so others don't get scammed mining a scamcoin
Now, go invest in some pre-pre-IPO!

Just because we had a bullish weekend it doesn't mean that weekends will always be like this.
The market is still very weak, volume was down, watch out for corrections

I just saw a post a few minutes ago saying that a new exchange will open in India because they got the approval ?!? Not sure what's going with India
As LiteCoinGuy said, happy to see BTC taxed (and recognized)

No it won't but with additional large exchanges adopting can certainly be useful to transfer BTC around and to edge of course.
I'd like to see LTC closer to LTC/BTC 0.1 by the end of the year and more services and shops

Once the transaction is broadcasted it doesn't matter what your client says.

I love BFL because they made so bad in the last year that all the posts on this forum help me to decide to DO NOT BUY anything from them, ever.
Thank you BFL, sometimes you have company with mixed reviews and you can't decide, but in your case, it was spot on!

Re: [2014-01-06] AMD acknowledges the benefits of its hardware for bitcoin mining
by

It would be interesting if AMD started making ASICs. They have the funds, machinery, and employees to completely out compete the existing manufacturers.

They could (and probably they should!) but I think it's too early, mining is a "niche" and it's rapidly shrinking.
I'd like to know what's the percentage of GPUs used for mining against the total sold, what do you think guys? 3-5% being optimistic?

You are not the first one trying to write a list of rules for alts (there is even a group which gives scores! Huh)
Until all these scams coin are bought on the exchange for speculation hence it's much better to educate newcomers rather than doing this list..
my 2 cents :-)

Just a very simple question, is this legal?
Which name has been used to register this card?
So which name do you use when buying online?

Quote from: Visacoin Whitepaper
Today you can skillfully use skype, twitter and facebook, but you hardly can imagine that you control the tube switch and show your distant friends that you buy a KFC drumstick by one gram of gold with 0 and 1
Can you rewrite this sentence in proper English? (not for OP)


Today's generation of internet users can use Skype with ease, as with Twitter and Facebook. It's hard to imagine, however, that now with those same friends you can systematically prove and demonstrate a purchase of a KFC meal with cryptographic currency, which all equates to nothing more than binary machine code.

Shouldn't really be doing this guy any favours. I'm not a translator.

Thanks. I see difference.
Why does OP keep silence? Did he reply anyone in PM?

OP is not looking at the forum anymore
I heard he got a flight to Thailand and finally enjoy his retirement

If you can't see it, let me explain to you... they did this on purpose to get some coverage and people attention (maybe a friend on cryptocoinsnews?)

I updated the original thread. Everything should be fine now. Very few blocks were mined in the chaos over the last hour, the developers didn't mine anything, and the difficulty won't adjust for another 3 hours. Sorry everyone!

It appears 500+ blocks were mined prev.

Fuck me.

Didn't he said no premine? LOL Such a shame!
Difficulty Retarget Time is 4 hours or 240 blocks?

I'm pretty sure it's ok if more than one person/company makes a similar product, especially if one is willing to undercut the other.  Grin

 Shocked Shocked Shocked Hmmmmm  Shocked Shocked Shocked

I am just tired of Fellow bitcoiners getting scammed out of their coins..  Undecided.

So I will put a product out there that someone can trust they will get.

That's good :-)

On the other thread somebody said that aluminium is not fire-proof? Could you please confirm/deny?
How are these better than paper wallet on a zip-bag?
Thanks
