Torrent and IT noob here. I still don`t get the main advantage Alexandria has over the existing solutions, but I am only an occasional user of the whole thing (i.e. the only way I know to handle it is to go to torrentz.eu, look for something, than click on a link and M-Torrent downloads it. That`s what a friend who knows about that stuff told me).

I'm not sure what dump you are talking about.  I've been accumulating this coin since .0006 and still have not sold one.  I intend to accumulate millions more if I can manage to not put the price up too high on myself.  Long and strong!

It seems that I caught in the Dump phase

I bought at 805 satoshis and just wanted to arbitrage with LTC at cryptsy. However, with a few minutes I missed the opportunity to sell since someone else has sold just before me.

Good lesson for me!!! Dont trade with coins that you already knew!!!

The bootstrap posted in florincoin.org's front page is outdated.
Could someone update the bootstrap.dat? Syncing is taking forever as usual. Torrenting the bootstraps with a date labelled on them would be nice too

Hiya - to clear things up for you - Alexandria is in the hands of a few dozen alpha testers right now. The roadmap on our site is so that people can see what we have planned for Alexandria's development. Nope, we have no VC capital behind us, you're probably thinking of Blockchain.info, or Chain perhaps - this name space is getting a bit crowded As such, many of the team members have other jobs to support themselves - the fund raise is to be able to let our developers put more dedicated time into the project to get it out the door sooner.

And I'm pretty sure the photos you're referring to are from the meetup we attended in San Francisco last week at the Founders Space incubator... perhaps it was a boiler room 50 years ago, but it's a pretty awesome accelerator space now

I fear the community, not the developers 

Pump and Dump? No, I have followed Florincoin for over a year and have seen the work that has been put in and the dedication some of the developers have had with this coin.  The whole idea of Alexandria has fascinated me from the start.  Here's to the awesome work being done on this coin!

Sure it is. You're just failing to understand why I described it as extremely cool. 



The Pirate Bay is actually still running despite repeated attempts to shut it down. After 10 years. 

Alexandria is more decentralized than any website like TPB can be, and thus should be much harder to shut down.  It creates a way for publishers to monetize their content directly, not just a new platform for piracy. So it has the potential for Hollywood to benefit from it if they understand the futility of fighting it. 

It has the potential for musicians like my brother, as well as other types of artists, engineers, and more to have an income without being forced to use a system set up to benefit the recording industry and not the individual creators.

That is why I said it was extremely cool. 

The media is distributed via bittorrent, so requires seeders to store and share media just as is the case with any torrent.

Thanks! And where are the published media stored?

Florincoin has been around for quite some time now, so it is hardly being "introduced".  Apple embracing deflation rather than fighting it was very wise.  Who was the highest grossing touring band of all time?  The Grateful Dead, who encouraged the recording of their shows and the free duplication of them:

Ten years ago this month, a music sector ravaged by Napster and largely ignorant of digital distribution found a savior of sorts in what was then called the iTunes Music Store. With its 99-cent unbundled songs, the service quickly became the only significant source for acquiring music legally online.

With iTunes, Apple had drawn the blueprint for distributing music, movies, books, and apps over the web. By supplying and tying together a music player, online store, and song-mangement software, Apple drastically simplified the entire music experience, defying the odds to build a music-retailing dynasty even as file sharing skyrocketed. A decade ago, Apple started to answer what would become an all-important question: how do you get consumers to pay for content again?

FLO miners, and everyone else running a full node, hold metadata and magnet links that point to the published media. Therefore Alexandria will perpetuate itself as a media publishing/sharing platform for artists and content creators even if Blocktech disappears.

A pump and dump requires a dump.  Is Bitcoin a pump and dump?  If it is, then let me know when it gets back to a penny so I can buy more.

Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come.

I've been a long time supporter of FLO but I really wish the article wasn't titled so clickbaity... Would much rather have normal organic growth than sudden bursts of frenzied pumpers.

All I can say to that is "welcome to crypto."

I'm not meaning to fud Florin or anything but the way Blocktech spun things a few weeks back it seemed like Alexandria's release was right around the corner.

Instead we get a road chart begging the public for money to actually build the thing with releases in installments. I thought Blocktech was supposed to be an actual company with VC capital behind it?

Instead in the latest photos its a couple guys with a table and a projector in what looks to me like a boiler room, it just doesn't build confidence.

Quote from http://www.thebitcoinchannel.com/archives/43730

"The main advantage of Alexandria over regular torrent sites, of course, is the absence of central servers, which means that the service cannot be shut down or blocked — as has happened with various torrent sites over and over again. As long as someone is mining Florincoin, Alexandria will continue to exist."

What do the FLO miners have to do with the shared media content?

keep this thread in first page!! FLO is the future!

Not exactly the context I'd like to see Florincoin introduced.

Every version of Alexandria that I support will include a filter to block unverified content from being distributed to your device. Keep in mind Alexandria is free software. You don't have to use the filter...  but you certainly should if you care about respecting and continuing to incentivize original content creators.

There is no way to prevent data from being put into the block chain, but preventing the spread of content that publishers clearly do not want in a DHT is possible. Those who agree will subscribe to the filters and disallow that content from being perpetuated by their Alexandria node. This is the best we can do to prevent publishers' work from being distributed without their consent.

How FlorinCoin(FLO) Will Replace The Pirate Bay And All Other Torrent Sites Forever

thebitcoinchannel.com / By Admin / 5-4-2015

Many believe that Satoshi was the father of all that we now know as Bitcoin, and with good reason.  But long before Satoshi arrived on the scene, BitTorrent had changed the world by introducing a protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing.  TPTB immediately pronounced anathema on the new technology, as it provided a way for every ordinary person to share files with every other person.

But reality applies to ordinary joes as well as to tin pot dictators.  File sharing could not, and cannot be stopped.  The only way to slow it down was to ban the tracker sites or put the proprietors in jail.  Fortunately for lovers of free speech and communication, message based cryto-currencies have now provided the answer:  a decentralized, peer to peer database that can NEVER be shutdown.  I give you Alexandria Project and FlorinCoin:

Alexandria is a distributed library for sharing and preserving art, history and culture. Imagine a platform like Youtube, Soundcloud, or Netflix, but without any of the costly server or bandwidth overhead. Users can self-publish anything, including videos, music, books, 3D printable, recipes, and more. Content creators have complete control over how their work is published and will be able to choose from several different monetization options.
