Topic: [ANN][ZET] Zetacoin - SHA256 - Upgrade to 0.13.2 (Segwit) - page 120. (Read 463970 times)

I think you're grossly overestimating use-value ... coins including Bitcoin do not get their valuation from people actually using the coins to make purchases. It's also that, but I would say it's behind 1) speculation (long or short term holding for speculation or belief in future technology adoption) ; 2) hedging against fiat inflation

for reason 2 zeta isn't better than btc but for 1) it is because it's quicker.

They were massively overpriced so I wouldn't expect the price to move a lot for the next little while. There isn't enough uses for the coin to justify the price it reached. Assuming services show up the price will of course increase but right now it's just people trying to trade to make a quick buck.

This is also true for most altcoins so I am not picking on ZET at all.

i believe all the sell off is due to people wants to buy gifts for the holidays and need money

after the holidays things should go back up

i am buying every zet i can afford

any idea if those zeta coins will go back up? they keep getting lower and lower.

any free ZETs for zet-noobies?

its mine and of course you can use it. be aware that i have a sheduled maintaince (replacing HW) which will take 1 day, starting at 18.12.2013

ZET has a forum. maybe post there for faster reply. I will post your question there.

It looks like the -datadir=[dir] start option doesn't work for this client.. it still points to the default one. Is there a fix for this?

Very useful, thank you.

+1 Thank you

Quark has this as well though.

Found this one: http://darkgamex.ch:2751/chain/ZetaCoin

The one mentioned on the zeta org site doesn't work

Is there a working block explorer for Zetacoin somewhere?

HE'S GIVING FREE ZET, HE HAS 50MIL

Also remember about Gresham's law - "Bad money drives out good".
Basically what is says is that Bitcoin will not be used for casual payments. It will be used as SoV (store of value) - just like PHYSICAL gold today. This is because people tend to hoard things that do not lose value (do not inflate) - at the same time making them really bad as MoE (medium of exchange).
"Bad money" (ZET) takes the role of MoE. This does not mean they have no value - they just have different role. Their value lies in this very specific utility that is MoE.

No offense, but I think you're looking at it the wrong way. In my opinion, none of these coins are (or should be) products that need to be marketed heavily to people. At their core, they are open protocols, that can and will be picked up, used and developed further by organizations and individuals as long as they seem useful. I think a lot of people are not entirely convinced that bitcoin's limited supply of no more than 21 million is ideal. Thus they might find zet's solution of +1 million per year after 160 million interesting. Or I hope that's one of the main reasons it's gaining support, not just the name. If a coin is considered useful, it will have third party support. If not, no amount of marketing might not be enough, except for pump'n'dumps.

Now, peercoin has some great qualities as well, I believe, but why worldcoin? I think even bitcoin will have much faster confirmations later when the tech for that is ready, which will make worldcoin completely redundant. Zet still has that eternal inflation, which will not and should not ever be added to bitcoin. There is a scrypt coin that has eternal inflation too, Argentum. They made it 1.1% per year instead of a fixed amount. That's potentially a good solution too, and it's another coin I'm personally following.

EDIT: And of course the eternal inflation is good for rewarding hash rate too, a very important point.

one thing I find positive about ZET is the fast speed connection of wallet (beside the awesome speed of transactions of course).

that mean ZET has healthy and strong nodes, equal strong network. the value of the coin connect directly to the health of its network. as without a network, the coin has no value.
