I think the idea here is that the token holders could vote on exhibitions, etc... and royalties from the sale could go to the DAO to help improve the project.
I guess the claim process might be pretty interesting, you could make a minting contract for the NFT that used a merkle tree of some sort. Not sure how NXT public key crypto works.
Anyway, I bought one of the ones on opensea, and in touch with the guy who created the collection.

I can't believe this came back to life. I actually REMEMBER this. I just bought one of the opensea tickets from @NonFungibleMate on twitter. Let see if he honors the NXT tokens.

Forking Bcash to merge mine it with bitcoin

It would seem that the current bitter environment over the Bcash fork could be somewhat avoided if we could create a situation where the community could explore the advantages of Bcash philosophy, without the two chains needing to compete for hash power.
The fighting is negative, acrimonious and unproductive.
If we were to fork Bcash and make the new fork merge minable with Bitcoin we could bring the two communities back together. The chains can compete with their value propositions in a free market, but we don't need to damage the overall value proposition of Bitcoin by this transient mining and thus unpredictable blocktimes.

It would seem to make sense to make things like bcash merge minable with Bitcoin. Infact we could fork bcash to make a merge minable version of it. This way we can keep all the advantages of bcash without supporting the acrimonious environment that competition over hshpower brings. For miners it's the same, as they don't need any opportunity cost to make the decision. Mine both.

Re: 173000 unconfirmed transactions, 13 transactions per second

people will eventually stop trying and the backlog will get processed.
The problem is network wide. Wayyyy to many unconfirmed, I am at 24 hours as well. It's probably that BCH supporters are spamming the network but also many people are FOMO/FUD into moving coins which adds to the congestion.
I decided I'd rather get a day job than sell Omni to pay my mortgage, so I'm back doing normal software development again. If you are curious about my career, you don't need to ask about it here - you should connect with me on LinkedIn! https://www.linkedin.com/in/jrwillett
I assumed things would peter out without me around, but Craig and the devs (and Judith) didn't lose any momentum! They've been doing a spectacular job, and I love seeing the new code being checked in all the time.
I've devoted most of my large stockpile of Omni for compensating those who continue to work, especially those who took big pay cuts or didn't get paid at all (structured like stock options with vesting periods). I haven't sold any of it, so no beach sitting for me, I'm afraid. I feel tremendous loyalty to the people who work on this project and the people who invested in it, and any Omni that doesn't get given to the developers will stay with me until the project is a runaway success (or I take them to my grave).
Well, thats nice to hear I guess. I still check in now and then....
Perhaps there will one day come a great doomsday Cult of Deflation that will attempt to hoard as many coins and possible, only to send them all to address with no known private key.
Perhaps this moment is upon us brethren. The return of the Anti-Satoshi: Craig Wright. The prophecy tells us that if Craig Wright be the Satoshi, in the attempt to move 1million coins, he makes a mistake and burns them all to an invalid address.
We can pray my brethren. For this would be the true sacrifice of Satoshi.

Sorry but, "The Church of Craig Wright and Latter Day Coins" doesn't have the same ring to it.........
I bought once and the price went down too much. That was my worst 'mistake' i would say. But in your case i would think that you learned something and we should 'predict' if the price will go up or down. For now bitcoin is only rising rapidly and it is going to reach soon $300.
It s going to reach 1k again, before the next halving. I dont see how buying BTC could have been the worst decision of his life. Unless he purchased those at $1200.
If buying BTC is the worst decision of his life, he has a pretty damn nice life!!!!!

Re: The Official Mastercoin Foundation, Master Protocol & Mastercoin Thread
I'm a crypto newbie and discovered mastercoin recently, and learnt that it was the first crypto 2.0 project, and raised a ton of funds. What happened? why is mastercoin doing so poorly compared to the competition? I don't mean to sound rude, just genuinely interested in piecing together what happened. I appreciate people are probably still working to make mastercoin a success in the future, but something must have gone wrong somewhere in the early days to lose first mover advantage and all the ico funds.
A classic story of hubris really. Would you believe that the counterparty folks once offered to actually help build mastercoin? Yep. It was almost once one cohesive project of Bitcoin 2.0 tech. Now it's nothing really, and the division that was sowed in the community lead the real corporations to simply build their own projects rather than collaborate with the bickering "communities" down here below.
So yeah. Great idea, but ideas are not enough.

Just checking in, I appreciate the weekly updates on the blog, but the market seems to think this project is dead. Now with Cryptsy apparently going full GOX and masterexchange shutting down- is it even possible to buy mastercoin anymore?

Re: The Official Mastercoin Foundation, Master Protocol & Mastercoin Thread
nah i mean it is a 99% decline form 100mio is extreme, most others fall form 10-4 to one mio (75-90% decline). 100mio to 1mio is a hole new scale. For this loss there must be happen something serious wrong.
The fairest amongst the reasons, would be to say the team over promised and under delivered. Others may say, a few members of the team are/were deluded, and full of shit.
The technology isn't bad, they just got caught with the problem lots of people get stuck on: Egos. The guys who made counterparty originally offered to help build mastercoin but they were rebuffed. Counterparty had it's moment to shine but thats past too. Divide and conquer really. Had only everyone gotten over their EGOS and tried working together.......
What they've built is good and usable. But when mastercoin was first announced there was no counterparty, no maidsafe, no etherum, basically nothing like this. Now the mastercoin technology is outdated already.
Honestly Mastercoin, and by extension counterparty, needs a true killer app. Sorry to say it, but it's not going to be financial services. When mastercoin was invented Banks didn't take bitcoin or blockchain technology seriously. Now however they do- and they have the research budgets to build their own implementations. No fortune 500 needs an open source project with no network effect. Look at Counterparty- Overstock took them on and then realized they could do it without them. There's zero chance someone is going to pick up Mastercoin with it's checkered history if they could just build their own. Not to mention there are a lot more blockchain developers today than when Mastercoin was invented- so it's not like the talent pool is concentrated only in these open source projects anymore. Indeed commercial entities have stolen the talent AWAY from the open source projects if anything.
So what we really need, and all of the Bitcoin 2.0 tech needs (an era that has already passed? because of lack of implementation or usefulness?) needs, is a killer app, but it's hard to imagine at this point what that app might be.
The Litecoin market is not big enough to push Bitcoin up $15 by dropping Litecoin by $2.
this
and now we see why someone was holding the BTC price back on BTCE for as long as possible.
BTC-E is not a market maker, okgox/goxobi and finex are, finex clearly showed that market makers dont plan to push price above 290$ (there would be fake walls of 15-18k being moved higher to 270-280$ in order to do that). Its just chinese retards cashing out their ponzied ltc to btc at any cost. Chill out people, shit is almost over.
Lots of action, and who knows what happened on Huobi with such a price spike... nearly $400, no?... and maybe someone did really accidentally buy some coins on Huobi for way over market value?
$300 does seem to be within reach, but I would NOT be surprised to hover in the upper $200s for a week or more.
To bad there is no real way to get your money out of those exchanges if you are a foreigner..... :-( :-(
Not that I would really trust those exchanges as a foreigner.
Yes, bitcoin and webchat are hand in hand here : https://xotika.tv/?af=bitcoinx . You can allways try to relax in front of your pc and if you are feeling good you can also tip. Nothing is wrong with that. Worth to try
oh lord I wish I hadn't clicked that link. A woman sitting around picking her nose with whelts/mosquito bites all over her legs. Ughhhhhhhhhh.
