It's time for a post to review what happened with VRC in the last three days and what the partnership with superNET means for the future from VRC bag-holder viewpoint.
1) The events clearly indicate that many sceptics including me were completely wrong about the main VeriCoin developers, EffectsToCause and Pnosker, terms of their arrogance, adaptability and willingness for a change. We have been arguing here for weeks for a change and asked EffectsToCause and Pnosker to do something about the failing price. EffectsToCause and Pnosker stepped up during the weekend and tried their best to put back VeriCoin on the right track (at least what they believe is the right track). They deserve a huge respect for their willingness to drive VRC forward, they are not arrogant and blind at all as the sceptics' insulting posts suggested it in the last few weeks, and as I was the biggest sceptic regarding their approach, I am happy to admit that I was wrong about the core VRC devs.
2) The vaporware and technological fantasy that know by the market and crypto community as superNET will do nothing good nor bad for VRC in long term. Perhaps the superNET partnership will push the price to 20k-30k, but nothing more VRC bag-holder can expect from the involvement of jl777 ... lets be clear, the "jl777 effect" and his infinite contacts to wealthy whales couldn't even push the price over 20k ... so don't expect anything big from jl777.
Technology wise and from design viewpoint the superNET idea is a complete mess, implementation wise it is obviously a vaporware, from software engineering viewpoint jl777's code (at least what is in the github repository) is a spaghetti code and a very poorly structured library. In one year time no one will remember superNET that's for sure. These days the altcoin market is desperate to find solutions to survive against BTC, and therefore charlatans and convincing sales men like jl777 can be very successful in making money. Good for him, he deserves every BTC he can get as he pull off his scam in the scam driven altcoin market convincingly and consistently, but that's all, nothing more superNET is.
There are a few whales in the superNET project like my fellow Russian trader @Cryptopumping and the whales will squeeze out few thousands BTC from superNET no doubt about that, there are lots of day traders will make money with superNET, it might help to pump VRC a bit, but in long term superNET will not succeed, because it provide the participating digital currencies with no real value nor add anything to digital currency movement.
On the note of jl777 effects as this charlatan like to call what he does, he is undoubtedly a very convincing and consistent one, but he doesn't need VRC - he needs the public profile of the VRC devs. First it was 2.6 million VRC, then it was 1 VRC if the devs get rid of Buy4Crypto ... in the meantime he said he will bring his infinite amount of whales into the VRC operation ... then it was again 2.6 million ... now he is donating back the escrow ... but in the meantime don't expect anything before 2015, because he is busy. Quite amazing actually so many bollocks within a short period of time :-)) Remember what I said when I heard about this deal: no serious software professional enter into such deal under such conditions what was presented to the community. jl777 actions indicate that he is not a serious technology professional, certainly not a visionary - he just needs the VRC devs' public profile, that's why before the superNET ICO he came here. He is already marketing the superNET idea with the transparent picture of VRC, that's all he needed when his ICO on his way. (Before you answer your usual bollocks jl777, put your money and actions where your mouth is and bring your whales into VRC and push the price to at least to 30k and then we talk).
The VRC fans, activists and community members should be relaxed: long after this jl777 charlatan is gone the VRC devs will be here because they are serious about their project, 1-2 years time when all this nonsenses like superNET are gone VRC will be still strong. (I am not interested in such long term projects, I just here to tell this good news for the VRC fans and activists :-)))
Good luck for every bag holders.
Hey BINGO!!!! This man gets it.
jl777 is ripping off the last bit of what makes VeriCoin unique for his personal benefit. I
had such intense passion to be here. In 1 move, I am so out of this currency... And its all because of the "community" who cannot see things past the next 5% price move.
You all sacrificed the "clean" future of this coin for a quick price pump.. But I have to say, whats new? I thought the Wizrig scam tought people here a important lesson.
If you think VeriCoin will get credit for any future deals in the "SuperNet" get real with yourselves! If you think jl777 will give credit to anyone, just look at his personality, he is everything, to everyone, quite literally, the world may revolve around him.
This deal destroys brand equity within VeriCoin. The same brand equity that got us through Mintpal hacks, and kept the community together through thick and thin. That's what was going to make VeriCoin great.
You know the 1 person who won't lose here? The anon dev. At any point he can sell out now, for a nice profit and say.. Oh, Im moving on, and then... He adds to his millions, while you all hold the bag, again. Except, if it happens this time you will all be holding a coin with no integrity, no value, and no vision for the future.
Please, just think of both sides, reasonably, rationally. The promises of rich's to everyone involved should be a big warning sign coming from someone who hides in the shadows.
If you all wonder why the deal took weeks, well, how else do you think jl777 got the xxx,xxx's amount of coins he has, You heard me right, in the 6 digits he has bought! Even at 15k satoshi he is looking at a nice payday once he sells this out. It should have been a easy pump into the 20k's The man got a few % of the trading float knocked out by having you lock them up. Meanwhile, he is calling all the shots now. Sounds like the exact angle Wizrig took here to gain trust, promise the moon, then he gracefully dissapears after selling out massive amounts of VRC to all the new bagholders.
Trust is the holy grail in crypto, we
WHERE unique. We are the target of everyone looking to make easy money. The trust factor is so high here, essentially its like hearding sheep. Once you get all the people who cannot think for themselves in the same place, you pump them up, and sell your shares to them. Once the hearder is gone, the price drops. This is what happened with Wizrig, I have a feeling it will be the same thing with the new jl777 pump.
You put the integrity of VRC into a project with anon dev promising huge gains. What does jl777 lose by destroying VeriCoin if his plan doesn't work in the real world? Well, he actually profits big time in any case, so. Now that he has got VeriCoin by the balls, you are all under his control. He essentially just took over VeriCoin with a promise, and everyone jumped for joy, unreal!
