The coins age makes something bad like this possible. With more time it gets more adopted and gaining this control becomes less of a concern. Also who is not to say that most of these alts dont have 50% or 60% of their coins on one exchange. The problem is we dont yet have a decentralized exchange and they have given vericoin a cause that if they are willing to accept and succeed at creating one, would solve most of these issues.

vericoin community got slammed hard because of mintpal.. this community should push for a mintpal audit.

or you can get away from Vericoin community and join Stealthcoin community as Stealthcoin is not list at Mintpal.

hope your listening to it.. they explained pretty much a lot of what I have been saying this past couple of days. (even the big difference between 51% PoW and 51% PoS attacks)

the only thing I don't agree with is that people had a choice to accept the rollback or not......

yes sure they could NOT update their wallets.. but if they did that then they would not be able to send coins to any of the exchanges or use any of the vericoin services so it really wasn't much of a choice.

everything else they said I pretty much agree with.

that what they explained was exactly what i told you l0l

and btw everyone can decide to not update their wallets, there were alot of community takeovers with new devs already if there was really a will to do it.
but there is no reason to do so.

Yes, new coins are created when staking (some 2.5% per year). These new coins created as a reward for staking are actually a built-in inflation.

you can call it inflation, interest whatever you want.. its still a small incentive for people to hoard coins. thankfully not as big as other PoS coins. and obviously not big enough because mintpal still had more than 30% of the entire supply.

It is incentive to secure the network

wow its people really like arguing semantics today...

you get paid to hold the coins in one place instead of spending them.. this leads to centralization. it doesn't matter what you call it... the effect is the same... people are encouraged to put the coins in one place so they can get even more coins... if the coins are in one place they can be stolen more easily...

how much more explaining do you need?

i dont agree, you are right now talking about being a curreny (spending them) or a store of value (hodling).
i think both fits for crypto.

as long as the amount of coins that exist is divided so that no entity have more then 50% of the amount of coins that is always staked it is all good.
/edit
in the way its the same why bitcoiners dont want a entity to have more then 50% hashing power of the bitcoin network.

hangout started btw!

At this point I rather the Vericoin community and all other coins communities wash it's hands of association with Mintpal. This is not an issue just with Vericoin, all coins should take notice on who they are dealing with. If Mintpal wants to continue business and be able to be trustworthy, all information they provide should be voluntary and on them.

Agreed. This is why I only use the only exchange that is mandated by law to be audited by a 3rd party & that is www.cryptsy.com They are the only FINCen licensed us exchange ( that I am aware of )

So the question is, where are all the VRC holders gonna play trading at? (Dont say IN THE WALLET lol).

Keep them in your wallet first and foremost, then when you do want to exchange, go to..

https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/209

https://bter.com/trade/VRC_BTC

https://poloniex.com/exchange/btc_vrc

https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-VRC

https://www.icurrex.com/market/18 (0% fees for VRC)

https://c-cex.com/?p=vrc-btc

https://www.bitonyx.com/market/trade/VRC-BTC

https://www.europex.eu/#!coin/btc/vrc

https://coinnext.com/trade/VRC/BTC

(From the above I only have experience with Bittrex and Cryptsy, and while I have personally never had issues with Cryptsy, I have read many many accounts of issues with them and missing coins)

Bittrex is the new #1 exchange imo. Cryptsy is also a viable option, but theres a reason why the community calls it Craptsy.

Considering MintPal's way to handling this, the lack of communication and the delay on restoring VRC market combined with the obvious slowdown in general volume, are making their life-threatening condition even worst.

They didnt even say shit about refunding to the victims (back when they got attacked and froze all accounts, VRC was at 42k, now at 32k, who will compensate that losses?)

As much as I liked them, I also planning on migrating.

So the question is, where are all the VRC holders gonna play trading at? (Dont say IN THE WALLET lol).

Whats the general consensum?

a coin that pays out 2.5% PA is obviously not going to encouraging hoarding as much as one that pays out 10% per year (like some other PoS coins) . and obviously some people thought they could get more money trading the coins on mint pal hence why so many coins where held on there. but any kind of reward for holding will encourage some amount of centralization.
