lol such things make me laugh really:D just how do they think to monitor this stuff?I don't say automatically russian govt is so very stupid as to think its easy to "switch off" bitcoin knowledge, but really even its plan to switch off internet access in "time of crisis" couldnt stop bitcoin. just the volumes from russia on this forum suggest it's already engrained enough not to be forgotten..

What's with this reddit guy saying he can access in shanghai free trade zone? he says other things he still can't access, but btctalk is ok! strange, or maybe my knowledge on how china ban works is not so good...

I wouldn't base health of QCN on either of those two... they have so many problems right now, and all the weird posting is just wasting time. at least here we have sensible community i think - all in good time

we sure do need more, not least cuz fees to use them right now are sometimes pretty steep, so competition definitely required! I would think twice as customer if i saw commission for using ATM was 7% for example!

agreed, though i would moderate with a comment i read here http://cointelegraph.com/news/112425/new-cryptocoin-to-sponsor-serie-a-football-team by "Alexandre" - "How many telephone numbers in the yellow pages? How many websites? How many business cards? The right question is : which one serves the right purpose?" - nice!!

yep i second this! [no offence to anonymous newbies who are humans!]

sure do agree with that, and i'm excited people here are willing to create the infrastructure to move things on, my expertise are limited but i say good luck! once there are more tools it'll be an easier task to get some excitement happening at least!

I like the softly-softly approach with that, is good and you know XMR's not had any crazy swings or something recently unlike many, even stuff like doge which is all over place.. having said this, with all this sudden interest from cheapair and btctrip in doge and litecoin i wonder if it's not too late to get back in there!! who knows who knows!

cna't believe this is still going strong I have a question! I saw some tv show about hairless dogs, which are cool because people aren't allergic to them, but not cool because hairless gene also means they have not so many teeth! so i'm allergic to cats, but like cats, so if i get a hairless cat, will there be other stuff missing too? it's still gotta function like a cat, cuz if it can't do that then it's not useful..

with bitcoin debit cards there's no need to worry about if they take btc direct, and fees are no worse than paypal's foreign exchange rates I'd say Also this style of bitcoin evangelism is something i kinda enjoy, my favorite one at the end of this http://cointelegraph.com/news/112375/10-reasons-why-bitcoin-is-better-than-paypal Bitcoin will never spam me about food platters ahah!

"mobile cellular telephone $199.99"

would like to have one for posterity, I wish such these bricks were so cheap in 2014! 

yes, brilliant! it would be great to have somewhere where general improvements and innovations etc are discussed and are easily visible, will save me a lot of effort! many thanks....

Such craziness... i following these cnote coins a lot lately and it's a big shame that not only are some community members behaving eratically, but also even exchanges - I wonder how this can really end well, but it seems at least hitbtc's willing to give it a go. it says QCN is "coming soon" so i assume it'll definitely appear, i haven't heard of hitbtc ever dropping a coin either so let's hope this is some effective endorsement of qcn, and that other cnote coins benefit as a result, in some small way;)

I think there is not conflict of interests here, just some government experiment, and a low level one at that.......because really, if i am in charge of country with a "borrowed" currency, i would like to have control over stuff like money supply etc too, like most countries have. I guess thats why it will be limitless too, though that in itself is kinda dumb i think personally.. can generate how much they like and where have we heard that one before!

yes, and to my mind memorizing would be the easy part... typing it out without mistake would really cause an issue and finding the error and not doubting yourself! aha definitely never worthwhile practice!

They never denied it: http://bitcoinbarbie.com/cryptonote-open-source-technology-concept/


So PDF v.1 that is on the website could have been created after PDF v.2. Considering that the timespan between the two papers is almost 1 year, the first version could have been lost and then re-created from the second one, with potential mistakes of course. Who can tell! After all, it's the world with human factor in charge.

This fact is disturbing per se. However, my point is you're trying too hard to take noise for signals and identify the patterns that don't exist...

The claim is that Bytecoin either tricked or somehow deceived CryptoNote, created at least 6 forks (including Monero), promoted them, built a community around them. Some of the mentioned coins (Boolberry, duckNote, Fantomcoin) are so far from Bytecoin, you'd have to hire a separate dev team just to keep it going. If this is true what else are those "guys" can be responsible for?

I'm sorry I'm not buying it. It's just a common sense underpinned by Hanlon's razor:


It's more likely that these guys are just not really from within the forum community and that is pretty much it.

This may as well be CryptoNote's PR. Such an attention to all the coins and the mysteries around them...

Thank you for your time and effort.
 
Large scandals always stack around a prominent technology. However, before you start blaming Bytecoin, CryptoNote, or any other party for all the things you do not like in this world, I suggest you also read this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory

It explains perfectly why it is so tempting to believe in villains being responsible for all humanity's problems. Be critical, think yourself. To my taste, your claim is way out of all propotions...

That is epic! exactly what moneta needs to have more attention from other coin users, thanks and congratulations!

+1 good to hear!

Dev, top work, I'm interested in how things develop here because there seems to be not so much hype as there has been before - what are your development plans mid-term in terms of publicity? Very much considering buying in if there's enough energy behind it!
