Looking for community input on an asset layer to implement.
Counterparty vs Colored Coins vs Open Assets.
Thoughts?
I'm quite familiar with Counterparty. They've built a great platform that is used by quite a few crypto nerds and their people have been directly involved in NYC bitcoin meetups. LTBcoin seems to have gotten a great start there along with countless other tokens. I'm not near as familiar with the other two.
I too am leaning towards counterparty. We want to develop the Jalapeno Platform in a way that we can give 3rd party devs an API that they can create their own Flappy-based assets and use Flappycoins in-game at a tremendously lower cost vs bitcoin/counterparty.
Did one of the lead counterparty devs quit a while back? Is the development still going strong without him? I'd go with counterparty if its still got a strong dev team.

Anyone is welcome to pm me their bitcoin address as an additional safeguard.
Please make a note of the pm ID that you can show to theymos if you need to recover your account.
This is the entire point of the Stake your Bitcoin Address thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0 except instead of PMing the bitcoin address to a newbie, your address and a signed message is posted publicly, quoted for records, and verified by multiple trusted members of the community.
Thanks for the link.
There's no harm in using the belt and braces approach though. Anyone who wants to pm me their address is welcome to. I'll still have a copy if someone hacks your account and deletes all your pms.

Re: PM me your bitcoin address so you can recover your account if it's hacked
And why should we PM you, a newbie, when the thread that quote links to says to PM theymos?
.........
Because if your account gets hacked and you lose your password you have to prove to theymos you own your account.
You can only do that by signing a message from a bitcoin address that you have previously either posted here or sent to someone in a pm.
I think it's now against the rules to post an address, so you need to pm it to someone.
You only pm theymos after your account is hacked, and prove to him you own that bitcoin address so he can return control of your account to you.

PM me your bitcoin address so you can recover your account if it's hacked.
The quotes below explain how to recover your account if it's hacked, but you need to have posted a bitcoin address you control in either a pm, or a post here. Also you can use a bitcoin address if its associated with your profile.
I think it's against the forum rules to spam threads with addresses, so pm me a bitcoin address you control, and make a note of the pm ID because you will also need that to prove your ownership of our account.
Disclaimer
I cannot promise I will reply if I get overwhelmed with pms and you contact me requesting your pm ID. Please make a note of any pm ID after sending me a pm containing a bitcoin address.
Q: My account was hacked! What do I do? A: See this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0. When PMing the signed message, send it in [code ][/code ] brackets (just without the space at the end). For example,
Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- My account has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to . The current date is . -----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: ... OR I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#...
If you don't know how to sign a message, google for some tutorials with terms like: "signing messages with ". For example, "signing messages with bitcoin-qt".
Looks like someones shorting up on bitcoin @bitfinex again.....
people always shorting on finex.
What special this time?
My bad, misread volume. But i thought it might trend upwards for longer. Just come back to see another short term drop to 271. It just seems (to me) to be nickle and dime trading, no strategy.
Nickle and dime trading is anything below 1K per hour on Btfinex, and that's what it's now sunk down to.
Just because a coin is pumped doesn't mean it isn't a scam. I recall calling the gold merchant they said accepted Earthcoin way back at launch, they had no idea what an earthcoin was. Technically it is a good sign is stuff like this is being pumped though, maybe the ICO instascam stuff is running out of steam, and that is far worse.
earthcoin has been around for ages also...price is rock bottom, unless it goes in into ltc/eac territory...
ICO shit is pure shitstorm of shit. Like shit tsunami mixed with shit volcano spewing lava-shit. it was "invented" (its IPO also....just replaced public by coin) because greedy shit devs were getting heat with premine, then instamine, etc. so they decided to have ICO's to pre-sell premine...sigh.
Earthcoin's at 15th place in terms of volume today. Scam or not, that's impressive volume.

It might go backup to $750 but you will likely have a long wait for it without any guarantees.
In the real (non virtual) world receiving stolen goods is a crime whether you know the goods are stolen or not, (the goods in question can be banknotes) - if bitcoin can be classified as goods and if the coins can be traced back through the blockchain to the point where they were stolen then they could quite legally be subject to seizure and returned to their original owner in the UK. To avoid this happening to unsuspecting individuals they would need to be temporarily marked until such time until they were received by the original owner when such mark could be removed.
That is quite interesting, specifically when in comparison to the US. Here, possession/receiving stolen goods is a burden of proof placed on the state before any charges can be brought against the receiver who unknowingly received the stolen goods.
Of course, the unaware citizen must truly be unaware (able to defense his position if called upon in court), but the mere possession of stolen property (given it truly is) is not technically illegal if the one who possesses it did not know.
Can a US court take stolen property off a citizen who paid for it unaware it was stolen?

Why is there no source code available? The wallet could have a virus in it. Are you trying to put people off mining it until you have mined all the easy coins?
