Nope. If you're not setting up a scam, you're going to have to run the gauntlet of skepticism from worse than just me, so my advice is to sack up.



Oh, and by the way, IPO schemes are synonymous with scams, so I sure hope that you're not going to propose that.

Honestly, it looks to me like you're just a pessimist who has been burnt from another alt-coin in the past. This guy hasnt even said any details about this currency and you've already equipped the flame thrower.

No need to try and bring everyone else down because you have a problem.

Re: CPU Mining - MemoryCoin - Found Profitable Strategy!

1. MemoryCoin is a scam

2. FreeTrade (MMC developer) is dodgy

3. Your math is based on variables

4. Power Consumption will be more like 80-84 watts using an i7-4770K (and you haven't included *any* power prices in your estimations)

5. If you think a $335 CPU is going to be worth $200 in 12 months, you're probably not very familiar with a thing called "depreciation"

6. "Total Investment" doesn't include Motherboard, RAM, PSU or HDD - your "Total Investment" is based on ALREADY owning 12 systems capable of handling an i7-4770K


Next time you want to promote a shitty coin - make sure you use a "Self Moderated" thread like the other devs do - so you can delete anything you don't agree with - like the MemoryCoin devs do.

Re: 2014-2-10 Business Insider : Aussie Technologists To Open Bitcoin Bank This Year
by
sid280
on 13/02/2014, 04:00:17 UTC
As an Australian, with friends who work for banks and major accounting firms - I *honestly* can't see this being approved by our government. The big banks here flag all BTC transactions as possible fraud, and ASIC (the government body that regulates companies) hasn't got many good things to say about BTC.

The problems I can see with using BTC for Credit Cards and Loans, is the differences and movement between BTC and AUD, as well as interest and taxes. Here's some scenario's which might need to be worked out.

----------------

Our GST is at 10% - so currently, selling 1 x BTC (~$750 AUD today) - would require the company/customer to pay $75 GST - which means the total cost for the customer would be $750 + $75 = $825. Who would buy a BTC worth $750 for $825?

----------------

Exchange rate vs income tax. Any money a person makes from BTC will need to be taxed, how are they going to tax it? Are they going to calculate your net worth from your holdings of BTC like they do with shares? If you buy 10 coins at $1000 AUD - and they jump to $20,000 AUD each around tax time - do we need to pay capital gains tax on $200,000 AUD - even though the bitcoins haven't been sold for AUD?

----------------

Interest Rates - If someone gets a BTC credit card or loan - how do they pay the interest on that or deal with huge price increases? Same figures again, imagine we get a loan for 2 x BTC ($2000), and the price jumps from $1k to $20k - without direct access to BTC, does it mean their debt will have gone from $2k to $40k ? How does a customer obtain the ~0.01 BTC required for interest? do they need to buy BTC and pay the bank with that - or do they need to pay in AUD for the hugely inflated interest price?

----------------

I'm no financial expert - but I can see things like this being a problem when trying to get ASIC and APRA approval

This is a denial-of-service attack; whoever is doing this is not stealing coins, but is succeeding in preventing some transactions from confirming. It’s important to note that DoS attacks do not affect people’s bitcoin wallets or funds.

If no one is gaining anything, then why are they doing this?

Not everything is for direct profit.  Why no hackers DDOS charities?  Why do players grief other players in online games?  Maybe the intent is just to cause as much chaos, bad press, and confusion in the Bitcoin space, or maybe it is just some ass who is bored and likely screwing around with people.

He never quit PTS. He was hired by PTS owners to do some coding.
His work was done he has moved on.
You would better do your research+thinking before accusing someone.

Oh sorry I should re-word it

Is he likely to stop supporting MemoryCoin like he did with PTS, then steal the code to make yet another alt-coin - unless the community bows down to his demands?

Just to add to the scam

http://memorycoin.info/ is for sale- looks like the dev team (belltown in particular) is looking to capitalize on *anything* they can get their hands on.

Quote
I'd like to sell www.MemoryCoin.info to somebody who cares about the coin and who will continue the work that I've started. It could be the perfect fit for somebody who runs as CMO, but it's not a requirement for you to run for CMO. You just need to act for the benefit of the coin.

Price: 1,000 MMC

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2123.0

SO - The devs want YOU to pay for the domain, and, you must say good things about MMC on there.....

When will this coin die!

belltown is not a dev, he was elected cmo for a while. he lost that position because he wasn't working hard enough, and a new cmo has already been elected since then.
i agree that it's not a fine move to sell that domain now, but that's nothing anyone on the team including freetrade could do anything about.


regarding the premine issue:
dec 26th someone compromised several positions by voting for himself with a huge balance:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=1635.0
if it wasn't for freetrade using his coins to vote for real candidates, these grants would have been lost to that person.

a few clicks on the block- and voting explorers show, that the same funds used to try to compromise the positions were used to support newmine's campaign, and by the amount and how things here evolved it's easy to see this has been megafarmer.
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2236.0

my speculation about the connection between newmine and megafarmer was stupid, you can easily read up that megafarmer joined newmine's campaign here.

nevertheless it remains undisputed that the coins ft granted himself for the start were used to prevent a big holder from manipulating the elections and stealing the rewards in a critical phase.

I couldn't really care about Newmine, I care about FreeTrade's attitude because he marketed the coin on here - and mislead the public with false information, and he's censored my comments in other places just because he refuses to answer questions.

Your response makes basically NO sense at all - you are trying to act like a corporation however you refuse to follow the rules of a corporation, one of the major rules with a corporation is disclosure of information - ie: to tell share holders about the CEO's financial holdings in the company. MemoryCoin has refused to do that and blatantly mislead consumers with things like "CPU Only Coin" and not releasing the source code, and FreeTrade is part of the deception.

How many coins does FreeTrade hold?

and

Is he likely to quit MMC like he did with PTS?

LOL. How is anyone angry at this clearly fake tweet? We've all been annoyed at transaction speed being too slow at cryptsy at times - it doesn't mean that we don't appreciate what it has done for the alt-coin (and bitcoin) trading volumes.

I want Bitcoins and Altcoins to be here in the future, I believe there is a whole new financial market opening here for people to embrace.

With crap like this coming out - it makes the community look bad, which means investors and professionals wont take it seriously at all, it also takes away from the integrity of  announcements made by other developers.

So you think that investors and professionals will look past BBQ, DOGE and CAT trading volumes on cryptsy but get hung up on a fake tweet on a forum?  Grin I agree. Take it down, BitcoinXpress. Wouldn't want Goldman Sachs to think that the cryptocurrency community isn't to be taken seriously.

MemoryCoin 2.0 (MMC) is a scam, we all know it now

FreeTrade (ex CEO/CTO) has a HUGE amount of coins, and he deceived the community by advertising as CPU only coin, which turned to a GPU coin with an explanation from the developer of why GPU is good for MemoryCoin.

The coin was developed with SHA-512 and AES (both capable of GPU decryption), and the source code wasn't released until well after the original coin launch.

Furthermore, FreeTrade would either delete posts from users or just ignore questions he was asked.

There is no confidence in MMC anymore.

Re: MemoryCoin 2.0 (MMC) - GPU or CPU or Cloud Mining?
by
sid280
on 04/01/2014, 06:05:20 UTC
Here is FreeTrade's blog post on MemoryCoin's website

http://memorycoin.org/gpu-miner/

Since there is no point posting in FreeTrade's thread because posts get deleted - I want to point out


Quote
One way to approach the problem is to have a very complex algorithm – this is the protection afforded by Quark and PrimeCoin. The proof-of-work is so complicated that it takes a long time to develop code that will run well on GPUs. When the code is developed, it represents a big investment and so is unlikely to be released. You won’t even hear about it while it is profitable to its creators. When GPU miners are eventually released, they will blow CPU miners out of the water. This approach is a short-term one.

The reason coins use a complex algorithm, is so that people *cant* create a GPU miner for it, it's not because it takes longer for them to develop it, it's because the GPU's aren't capable of handling the instructions and calculations in the algorithm any faster than a CPU.

"Short-Term" is having a GPU miner released the day after the source code gets released (which was 2 weeks after the mining started)

Quote
MemoryCoin’s algorithm does this by maximizing main memory use and using the AES-NI set that modern CPUs have. However, even with these measures, GPUs can still beat CPUs. The algorithm is simple and so GPU miners have appeared publicly and rapidly.

Wait... so you knew this algorithm was able to be mined with a GPU *BEFORE* you wrote the code - but still marketed it as a "GPU Resistant" coin - because it required 1 gig of RAM to do the encryption?

Quote
The upside is that the GPUs are limited in their advantage over CPUs. They are between 2 or 3 times faster per dollar. Compare that to 100X for Bitcoin or 10X for Litecoin. This means CPUs will continue to be viable and we’re unlikely to see GPU farms built for, nor directed, at MemoryCoin.

Once again, more bullshit! It's in the official MemoryCoin 2.0 thread (until you delete the post of course) that people are reporting 10x higher hashrates using GPU than CPU - I think you should be saying ASIC instead of GPU farm, because people already have these farms from bitcoins/litecoins/doges/moon and will use them to mine the next big thing - then dump it on the market a few days later with high profits.

Why are you still presenting false/misleading information to the community about your coin?
