Topic: Ashamed on no progresses in cryptocurrency in the past two years but scams! (Read 1439 times)

this shouldnt be a battle about XC, drop it. this is about a claim for no progress, or innovation. Sure bitcoin has its core developer team, and works real well. but in the alt scene you get to  test scenarios that you couldnt dream of on the bitcoin blockchain. incomplete list of accomplishments since ive been here 8 months (not ordered in any importance)...
PremineCoin - lets see what happens when people only mine for transaction fees
Proof of stake - lets see if we can secure a network without needing 200Megawatts of electricity (current draw assuming 1gh/w (where many people using older tech are probably using more)
Cryptonote - arguably created longer than 2 years ago, but modernized - lets create a private key whose public key is untraceable
Stealth Addresses - lets see if we can send to a specific name instead of an arbitrary address which can only get as specific as the amount of hash youd like to spend to vanity gen your own
Algorithms - lets test every combination under the sun to see if we can force the hashing to be done on one specific medium (cpu, or gpu, or an asic)

theres been plenty of scams I cant imagine what sort of shit i missed by only starting in the scene in December/January. I doubt anything will overtake bitcoin in the short run, and theres no reason bitcoin can't just stay on top. but we get a to test every variable here in the alt forum, if something on bitcoin breaks or becomes not feasible there will be plenty of back up suggestions already coded and waiting to be chosen if need be

(also NXT style coins, sidechains, the new bitsharesx marketplace.. you'll never run a decentralized exchange on a 10 minute blockchain...)

What exactly have you done to help Bitcoin in the past two years?  I hope you don't think you just get to complain and point your finger at others demanding things get done to your satisfaction.  Don't see how constructive your post is and does anything to fix the problem.  Maybe a few suggestions would get things rolling instead of disapproving posts/threads? 

I have seen your same - infuriatingly long post if 4 or 5 places as replies.  And then you bring other people in (marketing head of XC) to defend you.  I get you are trying to market your coin (I actually read most of your post - if you typed it up yourself it's not bad).  Although it should read "Currencies" not "Currencys")

But reposting the SAME post in responses of 3 or 4 threads.  And then creating your own thread reeks of desperation.  

I promise you - the day will come you will wish you'd paid more attention to my "marketing" vs "consensus" post.  Find a good escrow and I will bet you up to 3 BTC that your currency will be worth less 3 months from now than it is now. 

Didn't you bring that same argument up in my thread then not respond too Synechist, when he confronted you? all I'm hearing is Mahican but that could be just me?

Consensus.  Consensus needs a whitepaper.  Consensus needs a community (not shills & hype).  Consensus needs open source (XC is delayed - I admit ...).  Consensus needs proper distribution (not PoS).  Consensus needs a simple (and not horrific) website.  Consensus needs simplicity - both in product and in communication.  Not shiny things that re-invent the wheel "better"  

"XC is a currency that you can skype on and the NSA can't find you plus you can buy a USB key.  But mostly it's a currency"

wtf?

Consensus ... consensus is why XC is guaranteed to fail.

agreed but a thread like this is just an open invitation for them to plug their crapcoins 

How about CryptoNote technology and CryptoNote-based coins?
It's said to be the 3rd generation of cryptocurrencies: http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/cryptonote-more-anonymous-than-bitcoin/2014/08/07

give me a reason why? since you gave me a guarantee, i guarantee you can't give me a legitimate one.

people do give a shit about features, that's why it's not only facebook that's a billion dollar company but also skype, viber, snapchat etc they all have there own thing and are all successful, and as for ease of use soon you will be able to purchase XC in the wallet via credit card, and also via ATM what's easier then that, enlighten me, no exchange needed, BTC was not widely adopted over night, XC is 3 months old it doesn't happen straight away, but it's built for mobile phones, includes free chat, and soon free video and voice, skype is worth 8 billion just for those few things alone, so XC is like skype(without the addoption but like i said this doesn't happen over night, not for facebook, not for nothing) but anonymous and encrypted, a store of wealth and a currency all in one, and built specifically for mobile devices, it has huge potential, but i'm not going to argue with you all night about it, so believe what u wish.

I guarantee you that XC will not become mainstream.

You walked into his trap. The horse and carriage is not used because it is NOT better for users.

All he said was that people want simplicity. Your average Joe doen't give a hoot about features as long as the currency is easy to use, safe and widely adopted.

good luck with that..

Scams come with the territory. If you let you guard down in the real world you;'ll be scammed just as easy. Don't deal with scammy alt coins and you'll be ok.

+1 what has Bitcoin done to improve itself in the last 4 years..nothing..will that change, why would it, they havn't even attempted to improve it's speed, ease of use, nothing they made there money and laughed all the way to the bank, something like XC and a few others are the ones that are going to become mainstream, just watch, since your all too disillusioned with BTC to invest in real innovation and won't be along for the ride, BTC is my space they had a good thing going they could of improved when facebook came along and showed where the real future of social media was,but they didn't.. XC is facebook.

Check out myriadcoin

there you will see innovation.

Polymyr will be a game changer in the alt scene

most altcoins are killing themselves. Only several of them will survive.

Bitcoin, in my really humble opinion, will have others problems:
other the mentioned blockchain size and centralization that is coming, i fear that we are reaching the point of "not profitability". In 2020 each block will reward 6.25 bitcoin (now the reward is 25) and, except if price skyrocket again, i don't know if it will be still economically convenient to mine them, especially if we consider the increment of ASIC and hardware required.

altcoins are going to crush bitcoins.

its just a matter of time.

right now bitcoin is a lot more valuable because people use it.

but someday a few real alts will rise to the challenge.

and BTC is not sitting in mainly a few hands...wake up...you think nothing will touch BTC, you think in a world were the NSA spy's on 90% of the planet, a privacy platform with encrypted chat, video and voice communication is an unnecessary feature...XC will soon be able to be purchased from the wallet, no exchange needed or from the ATM'S they will launch in the coming months  that solves your simplicity...you think im delusional and i think i'm talking to BTC fanboy brick wall..so lets just leave it there.

yeah and horse and carriage works better then combustion motors you sound like grandpa..things change man..things change lol
