Topic: [ANN] BlackCoin (BC/BLK) | PoS | BlackHalo | Smart Contracts | Anonymous - page 170. (Read 609571 times)

So this ponzi game could have been marketed as a real life mass transaction test.  What are the results, have these been published?   Did BC prove to be better than the others?  Were all participating coins and their respective communities invited to test their coins against BlackCoin?  I participated in the first game with 50 BC and got my 57 BC back, but when i heard that some coder had jumped the gun a send a bunch of transactions at the start of the game then I chose to not participate due to its unfair practices.

Anyway I hope the developer of the ponzi games publishes some of the statistics showing the advantages of BC in a mass transaction test.

Don't eat too much Pizza it's not productive !

Yes, they all deserve to die... Jesus...

No it is to hard for all those copycoin devs to implent in in their code. Look how long rat4 is busy with it, those copy coins aren't able to implent it. Im pretty sure of that. It will be exclusive, rat4 is one of the best coders/devs in the altcoin communities.

If you just copy a coin, you have no idea how everything works, when PoS 2.0 comes out, it is all new and they have no idea where to start 

Haha, hilarious. Next you will be creating a sob story for the 'poor people' that lost their money because they bet their life savings on a horse that lost.

Seriously, Ponzi is in the name of the game, if you are too thick to responsibly manage and make decisions with your own money, then you deserve to lose it.

If the game was called 'The incredible Blackcoin generating, you will never lose game', then you might have a point.

If you are betting money you cannot afford on risky ventures, suck it up and take responsibility if you lose.


Can it be made to be close source? Perhaps, but that goes against what people want from Crypocurrency supposedly. People seem to only want things when it is convenient to their own investment to have them. You can't have a decentralized currency with stable prices like a centralized currency... heavy whale manipulation, insider trading all of this is the result of an unregulated market which is what people asked for in the first place. Except of course when they actually put their money in. Likewise, Bitcoin and Crypto was made to be open source and accessible, that was the point, that was what people ~asked for~. But now that other coins are copying code, suddenly it's not convenient anymore because it directly effects people.

Sure other coins can steal code, they have all shown that, but if they cannot understand that code and how it works, then why does it matter if they have access to it? If copying code was a simple factor of a copy and paste job, then why have a majority of the alt PoS coins been hit with major code trouble? Why does it even matter? Reputation is the biggest thing about Crypto. Bitcoin is valuable because it is the first, the trailblazer and social sentimentality is one of the biggest factors behind perceived value. What is the difference between the value of a knockoff, or a reproduction? Sometimes it can just be about a 'name' and our 'name' is Rat4. We have a developer with prestige.

If Blackcoin does this shit first and gets a reputation for being a pioneer of new, truly concrete code, then it won't matter if Blackcoin1,2,3,4,5,6coin comes out and copies it. People will not invest in a cheap knock off over the real thing unless it's due to financial restrictions, or for a short term pump.

Thanks for your response.  So POS has a weakness and Pavel is going to fix it.  That is a powerful statement that can make BlackCoin better then the rest of copycats.  Unfortunately this advantage will also be copied by all of the other POS coins which in the end is a big plus for all POS coins and for Pavels reputation as a coder.  Can this great advantage somehow be a closed source to only benefit BC?

It sure sounds like POS 2.0 will be very innovative but not exclusive.

Poor guys? i did not play the game BECAUSE I CAN READ. Do you actually think that people who did not understand the explanation of this game should deal with any form of money, be it FIAT or cryptos?
Poor is to be greedy and then complain when you get burned although someone even told you you will probably not get your money back.

Tell that to the poor guys that got burned... That should bring their coins back...

BTC38 just beat Mintpal's wallet size in 1 day?

And as we see, there's more good news about BlackCoin being put on Chinese exchanges. This improves liquidity. Another piece of the Digital Currency Puzzle and all part of the gerater fabric of BlackCoin adoption and penetration into key markets.

I've heard a lot of noise lately about "development" and to be honest, a good point was ruined by the delivery and manner in which it was managed. It's always disappointing when a team goes off the reservation and believes it has the only answers for the problems at hand and at the same time excluding all the other good work being done across the spectrum by the Community. Whats more, it harms the very investors that are allegedly being protected? Ironic I must say. Anyway, enough of that as its a distraction from the wider goal and recent news.

Remember, success is a sequence of steps. We are taking bold steps every day. Some online, and many in real life.

Is there a Bitcoin conference near you soon? Can you go? Can you get an invite/ticket? If fo ...go! Get out there and mingle. Boots on the ground in good old fashioned meet and greet. Go talk to the people that are trying to make a difference either in your community/town/region/state/country. To make ANY digital currency a success we need people to get away from the screen and take this out there!

Viz

You are right Viz, I also think that Xapo and XBTerminal could give a good boost to the spreading of our coin. For international travelers, Xapo cut all the costs and fees of currency change. Xapo is something that must be widely promoted if we get it, because it is really the link between the common FIAT world (through VISA/Mastercard) and our digital currency world.

Derp!

CONFIRMED: Blackcoin listing on BTC38
http://www.dailyblackcoin.com/blackcoin-listing-btc38-com/

this.
addition:
if you ever read the notes on that ponzi game (i did not like that "scheme" at all despite the fact that it explained what will happen if you play, there could have probably been a better demo use case) you'd know that it was also a test for automated mass transactions, and in the first days when it had to handle hundreds of inputs and outputs in very short time it demonstrated how quick the BC technology is and that it can be used for all kind of near real-time use-cases in a quite impressive manner.
