I left the forum because of high stress from threads like this. Best thing I did! I no longer worry about the price crashing. Just sit through it, grass is greener on the other side.

Great campaign! I wish I had more free time to be active in the forum. I will never be able to enter this campaign due my tight schedule.

However, there were better candidates than the latest two people you've chosen in my opinion. For example, Roboabhishek and pereira4 have a better posting history than the two guys you've pick, which only post on the meta section and barely talk about bitcoin.... just my observation.

Chipmixer should make space for some of the people in the queue, you got some chumps posting and making money while legends that know about bitcoin and actually speak native english aren't making any money thanks to bitmixer leaving out of nowhere.

The rest of the campaigns just dont cut it. Bitsler got some good rates but its annoying as fuck having to get paid in some third party website, the rest are either full or have scam tier low rates.

Campaigns are a sweet bonus and a privilege with obligations to no one. Even if they were paying a fraction of what they do already they'd get enough people on board. And they may not be around forever. 5-10 years down the line people reading this forum will be gaping at how much was flowing every week to posters.

They will be around forever, as long as it works to get traffic onto people's websites, and you want your site to be visible in the biggest bitcoin forum in the world. The rates will just keep getting adjusted as the price goes up.

Yep the other rates are a scam.

Look at this:

Waves: .0003 for Legendary
WhyFuture: .00023 for Legendary
GoGoOption: .00012 for Legendary

these rates are crazy low... it takes years of good posting to become Legendary. Hero is hard but Legendary is crazy hard. I had a dream to become Legendary one day, but most campaigns dont value the hard work it takes to be active in the forums.

Chipmixer, Betcoin, Bitsler... few campaigns with good rates, and they are impossible to enter because they are always full..

legendaries can apply to coinroll on a case by case basis though it's not formally open. the rates are fixed at 25c per post but they also pay you for your total post count. i don't know how much it would add up to for a legend.

Coinroll looks good with the passive income dependin on your number of posts, but unless you have a big post count your monthly gains are smaller than Chipmixer and I dont like that they pay in $ and not in BTC (it's a fixed rate in $ so you don't benefit from the BTC rises)

Chipmixer should make space for some of the people in the queue, you got some chumps posting and making money while legends that know about bitcoin and actually speak native english aren't making any money thanks to bitmixer leaving out of nowhere.

The rest of the campaigns just dont cut it. Bitsler got some good rates but its annoying as fuck having to get paid in some third party website, the rest are either full or have scam tier low rates.

If I ever become legendary im not working for low rates, if legendary members join low paying campaigns the whole thing depreciates, if they don't join then they would be forced to raise the rates, basic supply and demand.

So you are asking people to work for free for almost a month and you may or not pay them? can you convince us this is not a scam? because it looks like one.

I hope the ICO is a success, but I don't see myself working for free in some sort of gamble.

The world will not die with a bang, but with a whisper. I believe that this soft Fork while it solved many problems, basically since people up for hard Forks in the future. Basically, you get people past the first soft Fork, build up a lot of fear, and then show them there was nothing to be afraid of. Then, after a little more time is past. You start issuing a few more soft Fork here and there.
Problem is: no reason to trust bitcoin-core developers.

yeah, let's trust some random guy that can't even speak english that spams forum with nonsense instead

Whales stockpiling cheap POSW before the big pump to $1+
by

They have been doing this for weeks. Market shakedown several 1000's sats, then they put a buy order and start buying in chunks of 1-2 BTC across different exchanges.

They are slowly buying and staking. There's 30million coins being staked on the poswallet.com site.

Once this coin pumps, due the small amount of coins circulating of around 40 million, we'll see $1+ easy.

Don't miss this jet.

Re: PoSW may be the rare opportunity to get rich by entering early on a coin
by

on 29/04/2017, 15:12:41 UTC
This coin has been shilled constantly on /biz/ and I see no reason why it would be worth $1+.

Firstly, the site itself is very poorly designed and barely functional as an exchange. There are dozens of alternative exchanges which are better designed. Why would you use POSW which clearly has inexperienced anonymous developers when you could use a reputable trusted exchange instead?

The *only* benefits to using PoSWallet is the dividends and staking. Staking can be done elsewhere so this is not a real benefit, and certainly does not justify trusting your money in a poorly designed site which likely has all sorts of security flaws. As for the dividends, the pay outs are minimal and again are not worth the risk of a hack or scam.

In short this token is garbage as the exchange is run by inexperienced devs who, instead of working to improve their site, decide to shill on Bitcointalk and /biz/ instead. They do this because they are former BitBeaners who are looking for an easy Pump n Dump scam and not an actual long term project.

You aren't seeing the value proposition of this thing

The fact that you are able to stake 100's+ of coins at the same time is an actual USEFUL service, because there's no other way to do this other than via the service poswallet delivers, because you can't have several wallets staking in your own computer as it would run out of CPU and RAM

It's the first of it's kind so this service has the first mover advantage.

The exchange will get improved overtime, but nontheless, when it gets added to other exchanges, most of the trading will happen on those. But give it time and everything will be perfected.

I can't see that the pumping has already started, this is a group pumping take your profit and run, you don't want to be a bag holder like Gulden. it is now on the top 100 coins

wrong. this is a pivx type opportunity



obvious buy and hold for a couple months



As predicted here, the price crashed after the $0.2 peak and now will enter an accumulation phase and the coin will moon when least expected.



it's a game of patience and holding during points of doubt.

I am like so Lolz when I read the below and remember how I (as @AnonyMint) was telling everyone that Tor was compromised back in 2013 and everyone thought I was a kook.


no tor user has ever been compromised given that he was using an isolated OS (tails) up to date, and with all scripts off.





But you aren't sure.
i am sure that you are wrong. we will see this as 2030 arrives and bitcoin is not 6 figures, not 500000 not 100000. because it doesnt make sense that bitcoin surpasses gold marketcap in 10 years.



Your nonsense has been refuted already upthread.

The devs have no control whatsoever dufus.

no, john nash didn't create bitcoin

no, rothchild didn't create bitcoin

no, bitcoin will most likely not go to $500,000 in 2030

no, you will not be tortured if you own BTC

no, you will be able to move 1 BTC (we will never reach a point where fee is higher than 1 BTC, it would collapse before we get there, too many angry people will kill the project)

no, bitcoin will not be for billionaires only (devs allowing this will get killed by angry bitcoiners that holded for years only to find out their millions are stuck on the blockchain because the fees are millionaire in itselves)

/r/btc / BUg propaganda spread by VIP user
by
xmasdobo
on 30/03/2017, 01:03:29 UTC
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1836611.new;boardseen#new

Why does this guy get to stick his obvious pro-BUg thread in the forum?

BUg is not bitcoin:

1) BUg requires +21 million coins (total supply will not be a fixed 21 million anymore) for emergent consensus to even hope to work
2) BUg gives total control to miners (miners = a couple of guys with state-sponsored ASICs in china)
3) BUg has incompetent dev team that makes crashing software, even resorting to closed source patches
4) Peter R and others support attack on minority chain when network support is against BU

A second version would be a massive development and maintenance hassle for me.  It's hard enough maintaining backward compatibility while upgrading the network without a second version locking things in.  If the second version screwed up, the user experience would reflect badly on both, although it would at least reinforce to users the importance of staying with the official version.


Quote from: whitepaper
The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work. The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power. As long as a majority of CPU power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to attack the network, they'll generate the longest chain and outpace attackers.





Miners are now split from nodes and (some) planning on attacking 92% of the network. I must remind you that miners = a couple of centralized actors.

In BUg miners would have total control of blocksize and so on.

Nodes would have no weight anymore. Bitmain would end up with both mining and node datacenter monopoly.

Such a coin is garbage, you cant call that decentralized with a straight face anymore.

And remember: all of this mess because roger ver wants to buy coffee onchain. This is nuts.

uasf will kick miners out if they dont behave



I already agreed in my prior post. And are you satisfied with the UASF being in centralized control?

Do you know who is the $billionaire leader of (or leading spokesman for his cohort whales who comprise) the UASF?

http://trilema.com/2015/if-you-go-on-a-bitcoin-fork-irrespective-which-scammer-proposes-it-you-will-lose-your-bitcoins/

Here is more about him.

Here is one quote from him:

I wouldn't really have even bothered with this article if there wasn't a third paragraph there, because contrary to what the stupid imagine, I don't use them for dissection material in order to hurt and humiliate them.

It's not about them, I couldn't care less about them, they're not human as far as I'm concerned. Just like I'm all in favour of butchering a million or a billion, or however many cute fluffy bunny rabbits, be it for making medicine, or cosmetics, or music out of their cries of agony, or whatever else - I'm equally in favour of torturing, mistreating and abusing the stupid in absolutely any way. That's what they're here for, after all, and if that's what gets you off by all means, who cares.

It doesn't really do anything for me, but nevertheless I will dissect them, with no regard to their own whatever bullshit, if I figure I could use the parts to teach, illuminate and instruct people about stupidity. And so here we go, check out the spots on Miscreanity's liver.




Shelby; If you would need to assess the relative seniority of me and Mircea Popescu, which criteria would you use?

Hi Risto. Please excuse my atrocious ignorance, naivete, and cluelessness w.r.t. the underworld of darkhigh finance. This is a strange new terrain for me. I feel like a child who is struggling to take his first steps without stumbling onto my face.

In particular I would really like to understand what is different if anything about your perspective/approach compared to MP's economic philosophy and assessment of the value of humanity. MP seems to think those with the most wealth should be in control of the monetary system yet he hates democracy and mass marketing because he sees those as ways of enslaving the stupid masses in a farcical, house-of-cards, debt-based economic system. Perhaps it can't be any other way? My technological approach with my attempt to find an improvement to Satoshi's design, has been to try to find a design in which nobody is in control.

So I would judge your ability to enlighten me on these issues—either in public or private communication—as the critieria.

Without publicizing any specific event, your actions indicate you are wealthy.

He wrote about you:


Quote from: jalopybrown
Assuming your the real MP what are your thoughts on the wacky Finnish 'supernode' guy?

Pretty good job.

Quote from: jalopybrown
Mircea Popescu is the owner of MPEX which is pretty much the buttcoin stock exchange, he's famous for lasting longer than most bitcoin businesses without failing and hiring an ex-spammer to do PR on bitcointalk despite her having the same level of charm and interpersonal skills as Josh.

No, actually, most recently I'm famous for fixing the price of Bitcoin back in early April, muchly humiliating Max Keiser in the process, and for leading the MtGox collapse by about two months. The rumour du jour at the Google I/O sloppy seconds conference thing they're doing currently is that in fact Gox' demise was pre-arranged and then announced privately to a secret group during my private and at the time secret conference last month.

Before that I was famous for calling various other "news" and "shocking & surprising developments" a month or two in advance, the girls are keeping a list somewhere.

Quote from: Russell William Thorpe
I work with poor people from a third world, Spanish speaking island called "Holyoke, Massachusetts". If they have Internet, it's through their phones, because they can't afford that and a modern pc, cable Internet, or a car, etc. How the hell are they supposed to download a 10 gigabyte block chain? I guess they could give out the block chain on DVD or Blu-Ray. Ok, to use this currency, first you need a copy of every transaction anybody has ever made...

I'm pretty sure nobody involved actually cares about these guys you work with, or poor people in general. This is a little like asking "but how are the thirld worlders from Holyoke Mass going to handle their own private jets". Well... they aren't.

Quote from: Lucy Heartfilia
1) Butts don't scale up at all.
2) Because of 1, decreasing mining rewards, greed and mining being ruled by an oligopoly transaction fees will skyrocket.
3) Butts are inconvenient.
4) Butts are insecure.

Why bitcoins will ultimately go down:
2) Exchanges are run by idiots. This is where the government already intervened.
3) Everyone who uses butts is either an idiot (largest proportion), scammer or otherwise criminal and oftentimes both at the same time. This is the case because non-dumbs and people with legal transactions can easily use other services.
4) This is a long shot, but I believe in the future all transactions will have names attached to them and cash will be phased out. It's just a matter of adoption and convenience now.

Apparently you're unaware who exactly you're talking to, which is chuckle worthy. Here's a thought : at the last count I was worth something north of 3/4 million Butts. Now what ?
(Yes, your numbered list consists of nonsense, most of it self-defeating, some of it self contradictory etc. But that's neither here nor there, what's a list these days, anyone's got one.)

In the last statement quoted above, MP is referring to the fact that what the USG.MIT mass media is painting onto Bitcoin is not what Bitcoin really is. Behind the curtain are whales who are changing the world from a debt-based industrial age to a more meritocratic knowledge age. Again I more than concur with MP's logic on this facet, and I even wrote my Rise of Knowledge, Demise of [Usury] Finance essay several years before the first instance of a similar elucidation I've found from him on his blog (of course he may have had those ideas much earlier, ditto for myself).

Perhaps I don't have the same valuation of humanity as he does. I don't entirely devalue the poor. Maybe he has similar logic to mine and just isn't communicating his ideas effectively to me. Essentially my major disagreement with MP seems to revolve around the mathematical fact which MP also derived, that is essentially Taleb's anti-fragility. It seems that MP punts to a hierarchical system of control, e.g. Satoshi's PoW ledger. But what if instead we had a way to encode the laws of physics into a monetary ledger such that nobody was in control, i.e. not a winner-take-all power vacuum of non-resilience? Wouldn't that be preferred?


Quote from: zylche
What do you think about the developers frequently receiving threats by bitcoiners? Or the guild and certain developers trying to push for a centralised validation services?

Bitcointalk is a collection of mostly poor, mostly uneducated, mostly bizarre folk you wouldn't have on your lawn/daughter/whatever. The various shit they do is representative of Bitcoin in the sense Jeremiah Wright is representative of xtians or Cornel West is representative of academia. Specifically about threaths... I get threatened all the time on teh Interwebs. I've never managed to care (yes I'm aware "the FBI takes internet threats very seriously", but I've never managed to care about that, either).

People will always try to push for centralised something or the other as long as they figure they'll have more market share of the centralised thing than they do now. As various failures are pushed aside to rot into irrelevance they're certain to try and find some sympathetic ear to enforce protectionist measures for them too (que Winklewhoever doods ranting about "regulation"). That topic is best served here.

In short I don't think either are suprising or important.

its easy to pick on other system's weak points

the truth is, bitcoin is 7+ years old and counting

power is supposed to be on constant tension

satoshi designed bitcoin so we dont have to trust the generals (miners)

we have come up with UASF within bitcoin itself, we can kick generals ass, the chinese cartel cant go around doing whatever they want without consequences and they know it

this is resulting in some miners backpeddling and supporting segwit, price going up already and alts dumping for btc

the system is working

again: lets see if you can do better with your coin

all systems have weak points, yours will be no different

lets see if your system can be on the spotlight for 5+ years without collapsing

easier said than done

if you can make me rich off a 1k investment like early 2009 investors in bitcoin i will eat my words

but i doubt you can get this done to create a new black swan and create a legendary investing opportunity like bitcoin was

satoshis come every 100 years or so

i dont believe you figured every bitcoin weakness out and have a coin that will make us all rich

im always unlucky so its imposible that i become rich
