My feeling just changed. It says COL may trade on Cryptsy this weekend. But my gut is only 60% sure, albeit 90% sure it will trade on Cryptsy in the next few weeks.
I'm locked and loaded so we will see.
nobody will list COL at an exchange as long as there are more than
10,5 BILLION +++!! OR MORE UNCONFIRMED COL in COL-Wallets (see previous post)
nothing is resolved!!
What part of this do you not understand ?!
From the OP...
Mine at own risk or don't mine at all.
You keep ingnoring this aswell.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/alternative-block-chains-be-safe-42465I haven't seen anybody post about what would be my biggest worry if I were trying out alternative block chains. I realize this may be perceived as "Gavin is FUD'ding anything that isn't bitcoin!" (FUD == Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) But I think some of you might be forgetting some basic computer security fundamentals in the excitement to be early adopters.
When I first heard about bitcoin, my questions were:
1) Can it possibly work (do the ideas for how it works make sense)?
2) Is it a scam?
3) If it is not a scam, could it open my computer up to viruses/trojans if I run it?
I answered those questions by:
1) Reading and understanding Satoshi's whitepaper. Then thinking about it for a day or two and reading it again.
2) Finding out everything I could about the project. I read every forum thread here (there were probably under a hundred threads back then) and read Satoshi's initial postings on the crypto mailing list.
3) Downloaded and skimmed the source code to see if it looked vulnerable to buffer overflow or other remotely exploitable attacks.
If I were going to experiment with an alternative block-chain, I'd go through the same process again. But I'm an old conservative fuddy-duddy.
If you want to take a risk on a brand-new alternative block-chain, I'd strongly suggest that you:
1) Run the software in a virtual machine or on a machine that doesn't contain anything valuable.
2) Don't invest more money or time than you can afford to lose.
3) Use a different passphrase at every exchange site.
Sorry about your bad luck. SHIT HAPPENS !
