Topic: [ANN][VRC] VeriCoin Proof of Stake-Time Currency | New Roadmap Released - page 523. (Read 1356163 times)

Anyone else notice the obscene irony in someone saying that he was dumping his Mint VRC holdings because the devs found the robber and handed back his coins that previously were in the hands of a thief who had robbed him?  So when you look at that lack of logic we can apply it to his other dumb ideas as well.

The reason they didn't rolled back BTC was that there were to many legit transactions in between. VRC has most of it's transactions coming from MP. All other exchanges are just hanging on the block. A roll back of this has much less impact then rolling back BTC from the Gox problem.

mintpal said hackers were able to "inject a withdrawal request directly into our database". I call bullshit. Only vrc were stolen.

Mintpal-hack is a lie. It didn't happen. It's just a story to invite regulation, steal your funds and get you used to the idea of rollbacks.

don't be naive!

This exactly. I have some VRC on MP but i'm against rollbacks and I would rather ask MP to compensate in BTC than creating this trust issue for all altcoins

I am sure that every guy defending the rollback, would oppose it, if he wasn't holding a large amount of VRC (maybe even on MP)

Still have a hard time getting head around that 30% of all VRC were on ONE exchange. So much for long time investors.

As much as I dislike this decision it saves the big money - investors and exchange from huge losses. Who cares about integrity, cryptocurrency standards and whatnot...

The price will plummet but in time people will forget, pumpers gonna pump and traders gonna ride the waves...  

Dont forget cloakcoin!

We've all spent years telling everyone there are no charge backs in crypto.

That's true. We don't do charge backs on individual transactions, we do charge backs on the whole network.

The only safe havens now are Bitcoin, Litecoin, xmr and darkcoin.

The federal reserve and businesses like paypal have those resources that their "technology" allows.

Go use their system right? lol....what's the difference?

You are so active in this thread that I certainly got your point by now, but what are you try to achieve with your endless comments? Are you in a mission to save the world from the devil VeriCoin developers (2 PhD scientists + one MS developer so not exactly the archeo type of scammers but think whatever you want) or  are you just a troll with lots of free time to spend with meaningless conversations?

Are you on drugs? This in NO WAY will help VRC! Never ever!

That is the tactic. Instead of having an adult conversation they divert attention to name calling, slander, insults, etc to get attention off of the real issue which is the roll back and how it is a huge fuck up.

Perhaps we have just witnessed the death of proof of stake coins - a wallet in an exchange can hold and stake such a large percentage they can execute their own attack on the network. Or someone who can hack and take control of that wallet could kill the coin. Centralized much?

Bye, where 1 crypto purist leaves, VeriCoin will take in many more mainstream people who wanted to be a part of the blockchain for years, but they could never get comfetorable with all the theft, not the whole centralized, decentralized BS that the purists think is nessisary for survival.

There is a reason bitcoin isn't growing as fast as it could. The purists hold it back trying to make it be something that it doesn't have to be to satisfy there agenda.

VeriCoin just created value for other people who once shied away from crypto due to people demanding that crypto are overcomplicated, and vulnerable.

VeriCoin proved there is a better way and the select few are mad? VeriCoin used the technology to avoid theft and secure its network, and this was bad?

Its irresposible to not use the resources at your disposal the technology allows, ONLY to cater to criminals, and purists. You see how they are close in the same? These people with computer skills want to keep it pure, so that they can control the power for the small %. As crypto grows more mainstream the computer geeks will lose more and more of the power they have. Scared much? VeriCoin proves that if your team is dilligent enough, and cares about its community that things can be done using the technology to strengthen a community and move forward a technology.

You're a fucking joke. I doubt smoothie would be butthurt by any alt except maybe ltc :p

Stop talking like you're big shit!

Nope. MTGOX got hacked in June 2011 (infancy).

BTC-e was hacked in 2012 (infancy).

Neither time did Bitcoin devs roll back anything for those hacks.

Let me name drop on you some huge bitcoin scams that were never rolled back on: MyBitcoin.com, Bitcoinica, PirateAt40's Bitcoin Savings and Trust, ...and those were all in mid 2012 or prior.

So don't play this supposition that I the devs WOULD do something similar if Bitcoin was in its infancy. I just proved your point wrong.

This sums it up pretty much perfectly, yet instead of addressing the issue people are just labeling anyone that might affect their short term investment as 'butthurt' or 'crying like a baby'.

Auna here are "Hero Members" more trustful and actually did more to Bitcoin Community then you ever did in sh*tcoin community . Your lack of experience and commeting at other high experience users telling them that it's FUD cause you couldn't reply to inteligent questions , regarding crypto market stability  . Oh yes a bullshit like this would and affect Bitcoin Economy too . Since it's a huge chance that somebody have now Vericoin that had been sold before on other exchanges .

Calm down & stop screaming FUD for every question or remark . Because you aren't speaking with 10-20 posts users . ok ?  

So far it is just a VRC problem. No other crypto has done this yet.

The solution is still the same even if the event is different. Were Mintpal's breach to have occurred to Bitcoin when it was in its infancy you know damn well it would have been dealt with the same way and everybody would have been cheering the dev team for stopping the thieves in their tracks. Just because the cryptocurrency world is now awash with multiple currencies who all wish to be as successful as VRC has been so far, this thread becomes a target for screaming ignorance and sky-is-falling hysteria.

The thing is serious and I believe that BigDaddyWooWoo, who is active on another thread is right. I quote:
