The wallet doesn't work well...

Used many times. No problems at all. Easier than Grin. Faster than XMR. Sometimes slow to load wallet.

scared money don't make money.

Well it does for the ones who take advantage of the weak hands. don't be taken advantaged!! do the taking!
Understanding your risk would give you a lots of chances to earn bigger inside crypto currency, BCN will bring more money to those
who knows how to hold, there's big potential that it an go high as its showing from the exchange that support are good enough to bring
this coin into a new hype so better to hold and earn after.

Sorry...I call bullshit. Your status herein is BS, if you do not have the balls to back up your cause. Bytecoin will likely bite the big one, IMO.

Mark my words.

Stop calling the weak hands BS, when yours are the weaker.

As a fork of Monero, the devs will need to either do their own work, or make their own code adjustments or stay one step behind as Monero as it advances.

Marketing will help, but the fact that their players are known (devs, team etc.) and they are a company, it may defeat the purpose of a private crypto altogether.

If the regulators want to know who you (depositors) are, they'd simply serve the search warrant on the company.

Can't do that with Aeon or Monero.

Even if Electroneum does not know who owns their ETN's, governments can pressure them in other ways.

There would seem to be little doubt that companies can influence the Bitcoin Core team now that they accept payments...are on the "payroll."

Is it a "conspiracy theory" as Charlie Lee (of LTC) implied? Or more worrisome? (https://youtu.be/Qxv72532ZbM)

Re: Feathercoin [FTC]

By far more reliable and stable established coin than any of those new projects that we see more and more often on the market without any clear background and only with big promises to be the next Bitcoin . In my view this one is easy a 1$ coins and it's just a matter of market conditions that today we see this prices. As soon as the free cash party at Bitcoin ends , we should see here the growth this coin deserves 

Been watching this coin for years.

It was, in the early years...Bitcoin, Litecoin and Feathercoin.

It might be an interesting next few months for FTC.

But a $1 might be low balling it. Conservative.

FTC seems to be resolving issues that plague BTC.

Switzerland may or may not have less taxes, but if the country itself doesn't extract money for taxes, it seems that the Cantons will. They have a progressive tax system and go after their citizens abroad, just like the US. And they report foreigners keeping money there. (Yes, you could 'deposit' on the sly and take your chances.)


Swiss banks reports are only about foreigner's private accounts but did not report about accounts of local firms, even if shareholders is foreigners. As well as Swiss Tax Authority (Steuerverwaltung) don't know about opened accounts in domestic banks (still no exchange in Switzerland).
This is a huge advantage )
And taxes in Zug or Schwytz is extremely low  Roll Eyes

Noted.

There does not seem to be a hill-of-beans difference between the US and Japan.

Sure, Japan ended their extra 8% tax on crypto, but they tax just like most countries. Regulations abound, just like the US. In fact, they have one of the highest tax rates on earth, for high earners.

And Canada? High taxes, regulations.

Denmark is also a high tax country. It was recently ranked in the US as if it were a state. It came in 49th of 50, for income, services etc.

Sweden is also a high tax socialistic paradise.

Switzerland may or may not have less taxes, but if the country itself doesn't extract money for taxes, it seems that the Cantons will. They have a progressive tax system and go after their citizens abroad, just like the US. And they report foreigners keeping money there. (Yes, you could 'deposit' on the sly and take your chances.)

I've yet to find a single Scandinavian country that has less taxes than the US or Japan.

Much of SE Asia is up-in-the-air. Yes, you might find a good place to use/store your crypto. But they might also advise your .gov about said use/storage.

If you live in Russia, India, China or similar, you might want to consider paying your taxes or using CryptoNote based coins or some low profile crypto. (I think India is thinking hard about the CryptoNotes. And they seem to have more guts about telling their crooked .gov types to screw themselves. Go India! Take your country back! Fat chance, right?)

But then there is the problem of a windfall and you wanting to now spend your millions afterwards.

I don't think our .govs will necessarily like the fact that anyone hid their trading for years, before they made it big.

You'd have some explaining to do when you buy that castle in the Bahamas.

Even if you skip town, spend your secret crypto's on some island paradise, they will come. It's a prison-planet, in that respect -- at least in the US. They send their goons abroad to nab those evil people trying to keep their own money.

Meanwhile, the IRS (in the US) throws lavish parties for their agents in fancy hotels and gives them bonuses for nabbing the hard working/investor types, whilst millions of fraud occurs and they do nothing.

(Sorry, I'm ranting now. It just pisses me off.)

What we need is a new country with some balls and enough might to protect its interests. Or remake an old country...but that is dangerous to even talk about, right?

Interesting concept of having only mobile wallets mining the coin. I will watch this project with great interest.

Mobile mining is just an option.

They are a relatively new, but we need more than just one complaint to form an opinion here.

Taking a wait and see attitude.

I find a lot of compliments on the internet, but many are from India I suspect.

@bbc.reporter:

Please. Trolling? Get a grip. This is called relevant discussion. I'm no Aeon convert or any kind of "coin convert." Not "blinded by the possibilities."

Here's a blog I wrote awhile back about Aeon, that was farmed out to toughnickel.com: https://toughnickel.com/personal-finance/The-Crypto-Papers-Rebirth-of-AEON

I understand that the "main" blockchain itself is secure, even on a smart phone -- even if slimmed down (pruned) as Smooth indicates. My concern about any coin info on a smart phone is that a smart phone is essentially dumb and hack-able. Again, not the blockchain. You don't bank or pay bills on your smart phone, do you?

If I can hack your phone, install a keylogger, screen reader, virus, clone your phone -- and you only have the blockchain and do not mine to an address -- what do I know? I know that you probably have an Aeon wallet somewhere. Maybe on your PC. Maybe you don't use a VPN or jump to a TOR hidden website -- where you store your coins. Maybe you use Google Authenticator on your smart phone. Maybe you have an account on Bittrex with all kinds of coins. Maybe I'll find your email address on your cell phone. Maybe I'll send you a notification from bitcointalk.org (make it look identical), but when you click the link (you don't do you), I'll drop a keylogger and a few other goodies on your PC.  Now I go and find your wallet(s), open it, empty it and just for giggles, activate a virus that wipes your PC and disables your cell phone. In the mean time, while your dealing with that, I'll comb your keylogger history looking for passwords, find all the other exchanges where you trade, open your accounts and bleed them dry.

Hackers gather bread crumbs. Putting anything financial on a smart phone is dumb -- until the tech is better. But this is not my opinion. Many techies, computer nerds and black hatters say the same thing.

But you can chance it. Go ahead -- advertise that you love Aeon. Entice that hackers who do this stuff just for the challenge of it. They've come my way more than once when I bad mouthed Bytecoin and Iota. I suspect those guys from India, but it could have been anyone.
