yawn, didn't read
I'm not on either of your sides here, but I didn't read all of this either.  TL.

BARR is an interesting concept, but it doesn't surprise me that this guy who's running it can become a cocksucker very quickly when dealing with shitcoin devs.  Or anyone for that matter.  It's probably a sweeping generalization here, but my guess is that most people in the cryptocurrency have a little of the 'angry white man' syndrome, especially when dealing with other angry white men.

Yes, we've helped every coin we've burned, and all their holders, without profiting at all for ourselves.

If anyone sees anything that seems questionable or suspicious, just ask.  

you mean questionable or suspicious like the information i posted above?
that you can mention that really impresses me no end,
either you didnt read the above,
or
you see nothing questionable in your actions
or
you won't discuss it.

all of those options seem equally likely .lol




is it likely list the the list of future BARR swap coins will coincide with  runpaints chat history, and reflect what coins he has been involved in?

seems there is also this account,

https://www.mynxt.info/account/NXT-79M8-QC5D-3E8F-HM5T5

but i dont understand what happened to the BARR,
seemingly sent to a "genesis account"
i dont NEXT enough to understand this transaction.

https://www.mynxt.info/transaction/8085281679085489978


--

oooo and this transaction too, which seems notable.

https://www.mynxt.info/transaction/9208393599727735292

Frac burned, BARR sent direct to marketfund, which as i understand it, is there for whatever the Dev feels necessary.

we here at bumbacoin thnk that using our remaining Bumba to burn/swap for Barr would be a fine thing to do,
(for those who dont know, Barr is distributed by burning shitcoins for Barr)

upon suggesting this in the barr thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13763615

the Barr dev, quickly escalated our conversation.
he is impressively rude with a short politeness window  Smiley quickly loses normal social conventions.
which is generally true about most online interactions and bitcointalk in general. lol
.

his general outrage that we could suggset such a thing, led me to unsuccesfully attempt to point out that there is nothing inherently special about Barr that prevent us from burning Barr for Bumbacoin. nor for that matter anything preventing any shitcoin from doing exaclty the same thing Barr is doing.
(he is very satisfied about teh pure genuis that is Barr and seems quite touchy)

i began to focus on two seperate things,which he doesnt seem to appreciate about the nature of Barr.
both of which have some level of importance in my view.

1. the burn process is not trustless.

you could dump any amount of Barr you wanted at any time.
No, that's you and your hidden premine.  Again, we're not like Bumbacoin.

Our transparent accountability is trustless, because anyone can see exactly where every single BARR goes on the NXT blockchain in real-time.  

obviously mistaking his honesty for a trustless situation.

2. the continued injection of funds from the Barr team, creates a manipulated value.
leading to an untrusted situation where there is no transparency regarding Barr actions


If we can buy 30% of the total supply at 100 sats, it's probably not worth it to start paying 200 sats.  Or if our entire buywall at 100 always gets filled in 5 minutes and we're running out of money, we'll try buying at 50.  If our order sits at 50 for 2 days and nobody sells, maybe we'll try 75.

Basically we just try to buy as many coins as we can with the limited BTC we have.

And then other people buy too, and burn their coins for BARR.

Last month we tried doing it differently, putting up a buywall for BARR, letting other people buy the altcoins, and then they could burn them and sell their BARR on a more liquid market.  It definitely resulted in huge trade volume for BARR, but we could've burned more altcoins the usual way.  

But mostly from my own pocket.  I've been spending at least $1000 a month of my own money, and that comes from my day job.  So far I haven't sold any BARR, and we're not making any money from altcoins either because we burn them all.  

it's very simple.
if they purely swapped Barr for shitcoin, there would be no artifical price manipulations from their end.
but as they are actively injecting funds into the process, there is artificial price manipulations from their end.

of course there may still be artificial manipulations, but the point is that they are inadvertently doing so.

.
meanwhile runpaint/barr_dev continues to make big things about their honestly and transparency whilst not keeping either their thread opening posts up to date or website up to date
both lacking current information  on all swaps.

also not realising their active purchasing shitcoin/Barr creates an area open to manipulation which, if they are so gung ho about their open-ness and honesty, should be best treated with transparency about their actions.

at this point, they could own 90% of all "distributed" BARR and no-one would know. (they do already own the vast majority of total coins as the burn fund)

.
none of these things are necessary problems, they could own 100% of Barr for all i care, as long as they are transparent.
involving their personal funds in such a coin/venture gives rise to potential fraudulent activity as long as they are not transparent.



..
here follows some rudeness Cheesy
- attacking my honesty
You came here to talk trash, and now you're upset because of the simple facts.

Like I said, we'll ask your advice when we want to be like Bumbacoin.

But you assume we're already like Bumbacoin, so it confuses and frustrates you that we do things honestly instead of the way you do things.



- lol. hidden premine, such a low blow
you could dump any amount of Barr you wanted at any time.

No, that's you and your hidden premine.  Again, we're not like Bumbacoin.

Our transparent accountability is trustless, because anyone can see exactly where every single BARR goes on the NXT blockchain in real-time.  



- oh my poor integrity
Quote
lol Bumba was never meant to be anything more than a shitcoin so go figure.

Then stop selling it to the public for real money.

Again, you're confused because you think everyone else runs their coins like you do.

You see your coin as a way to take people's money and then tell them it was just a joke.  That's not what we're doing.


You're a liar, and a waste of time.  You showed up with fud and passive-aggressive insults from your first post.

I tried responding politely, but you weren't interested in an honest conversation because you're just here to cause trouble.  

So I responded with facts to refute everything you said, and now you're whining like a baby about rudeness.  I'm not the one who showed up to someone else's thread and started spamming bullshit.  That's you, and once again you can't seem to tell the difference between yourself and other people.

- i didnt lie once, and he continued to make direct comments about my integrity, and other continued underhand rudeness. in other words, he continued to lie.

i'm just over all impressed with his self righteous indignation.
and while i'm all passive agressive and baby whiney, he is jsut outright snide and rude.

strange how someone can take being called rude as whiney.



edit.
i wonder if they will truly ever burn a dead coin?
how can you make a buy wall on a dead coin?






============================================================






just because i do like a good conversation.
-edit
apparently after reading this it is possible to get the impression bumbacoin dumped a bumbacoin premine?
not sure how that is possible to get that impression as it is purely the barr dev making stuff up, but i guess that's the price you pay when you troll. passionate emotions etc make it hard to keep a good logic in place.

There has never been any Bumbacoin Premine dumped.
I hope that clears that up Smiley





why are you burning coins with active devs ?

bowscoin dev posted on the 24th jan.
actively advertising goods for bowscoin.

just weird how you're promoting the death of shitcoins as a good thing, when you're working on a coin which is obviously alive and seems to have more going for it than BARR
ie you can use it to purchase real world goods.


edit.
lol please burn BUMBA. 20 million coins is obviously far too many in this day of shitcoin bloat

why are you burning coins with active devs ?


Dead coins are already dead.  When a coin is still actively traded, we can help the people whose money is in that coin.

We've raised the price of BowsCoin from 22 satoshis to 200 satoshis, so BARR is the best thing it has going for it.

i'm considering offering to burn BARR for Bumba, i will have to look at teh figures and see what sort of ratio i can offer.



i'm considering offering to burn BARR for Bumba, i will have to look at teh figures and see what sort of ratio i can offer.


How many Bumba do you have?

When we offer a coin for burn redemption, we have enough funds allocated to swap the entire coin supply of that coin.

So if you're going to do it that way, you'll need enough Bumba in your personal wallet to replace about 100,000 BARR in circulation.  At current market rates, it would take over 30 million Bumba to swap 100,000 BARR.  Of course there isn't that much Bumba in existence, even if you owned the entire supply.  But you could offer a rate less than the market.

Bumba's around 35 satoshis, but let's estimate it at 100 satoshis.  BARR is trading at 11,000 satoshis, although there's nobody selling that low.  But let's round it way down and call it 2000 satoshis.

So if you estimate Bumba at 3 times more than the market rate and BARR at 5 times less than the market rate, you can offer 20 Bumba for every 1 BARR burned.  Then you'll only need 2 million Bumba.

But if you give away 2 million of your own Bumba, it doesn't really accomplish anything different from just giving it away and not burning anything.  BARR is only issued when altcoins are burned, so that's our method of mining.  So when someone burns altcoins, they're creating new BARR.  There's not really a reason to do it for a PoW coin.

hmm, well i'm not really interested in swapping the whole shebang of BARR. as amusing as that would be.
there is a quantity of the BUMBA premine that is still targeted for distribution. issuing those coins as swap/burn coins would be highly entertaining.

swapping Bumba for Barr could help strengthen both currencies apparently.

i have swapped names form this excerpt from your OP ..
  – If BUMBA offers an exchange for BARR and the BARR supply is only partially destroyed, then BUMBA and BARR can both benefit.  BUMBA can gain users and adopt the value of the absorbed coins which were burned, while BARR can continue with a higher value.

seems like a win win Cheesy


edit.
although i believe you have a stupendous amount of BARR in the burn fund, that even if we did burn the entier current circulated quantity of BARR, you would attempt to keep issuing BARR until some time next century?



hmm, well i'm not really interested in swapping the whole shebang of BARR.


Obviously.  

In the figures above showing how you could afford to swap for BARR, I accidentally said 100,000 BARR when I meant 1,000,000.  That's my bad, sorry.

So it turns out you couldn't afford it with even with 100% of all Bumbacoins in existence, even if the price of Bumba went up 1,000%.

Agreed, since it could never happen.

If you take a true statement and replace the most important word with something completely different, the statement might not be true anymore.
The most important word in the original statement was "BARR", but you've changed it to "BUMBA" which is completely different.
I guess it still applies because you said "if", but then it's just a hypothetical scenario that could never happen.

See, when BARR talks about burning an altcoin, thousands of dollars get spent and lots of coins get burned.
When Bumba talks about burning something, it's "amusing".  
So it's not quite the same thing, no matter which words you swap.

Just quoting our statements and inserting your coin's name doesn't mean anything.
BARR has actually made those statements reality, on 8 different blockchains and with $30,000 worth of coins.
Bumba has not done that, and was not designed for that purpose.




Besides, we've already burned over 230,000 BARR ourselves, which is more than you could afford with 100% of all Bumbacoins.
Of course we had a reason to burn them, and we did it in a way that made sense.  
We sent BARR back to the burn fund so it can be recycled and must be earned again with burned altcoins before it can go back into circulation.

But if you want to burn a few hundred BARR to go with the hundreds of thousands we've already burned, go ahead.  If you buy them or earn them, they're yours to do with as you please.

But yes, BARR can continue for 100 years.  




In the figures above showing how you could afford to swap for BARR, I accidentally said 100,000 BARR when I meant 1,000,000.  That's my bad, sorry.

in the OP
BARR – 230,356 coins burned out of 780,856 in circulation  = 29% (self-burned BARR, sent back to the burnfund)

only 550,000 in circulation?

of course it's exactly the same thing, it's still true

There is nothing uniquely special about BARR other than it's particular origin (from you) and it's name (BARR).

i could make a shitcoin, SWAP, and offer exactly the same services and that statement would be true.
or i could put aside a portion of Bumba (or create more Bumba) and set up the same protocol

it does strike me as amusing that in the process of burning shitcoins, you are quite happy to strengthen two coins in the process. no worry about reducing the amount of shitcoins in existence, just make them stronger.

But yes, BARR can continue for 100 years.  

if i wanted to regularly invest several thousand dollars of my own money i could inflate the price of BUMBA to a point where we could swallow BARR. however at this point i dont really see any use as you will continue to pump out BARR for the forseeable future.

i could however continue to artificially inflate the value of BUMBA, whilst creating a protocol where through a similar release/halving system we could continue to burn BARR for the next 100 years.
(if necessary we could artificially create another million or so BUMBA for this purpose as well)

any artificial protocol is easy to copy. it's just a matter of doing it.

first of all create an artificial pump for BUMBA through injecting funds,
swap coins,
repeat regularly.

(it does make me consider the NEXUS swap model would be more useful here, as dumping BARR on the market place would help the process by continuing to de-value BARR (rather than strengthening BARR) and also convert them back into more buy support for BUMBA.)

that could result in a competition of who could artificially inflate their coin value the most, reminding me of the american political system where there is a corrupt system of waste taking place to see who can waste the most human resources.
haha although the competition would end with the strengthening of both BARR and BUMBA.

although tbh, strengthening is not necessarily true.
reducing coin supply, while increasing price .. inversely proportional and all that.
does increase value for some coin holders though Cheesy

--

i'm not that averse to Barr swapping coins, nor Digital Credits swapping coins, nor Nexus swapping coins, nor any other coin swapping system that may happen.
i'm not that averse to you continue to investing your own cash to inflate values to a point where it becomes useful to swap.

i agree that swallowing coin systems may create a stronger coin system,
i am quite amused that you have a system, that through the artificial injection of personal funds you can strengthen both shitcoins at the same time Smiley

i would like to point out that creating manipulated economic models does not make Barr an automatic success.
anyone can create an arbitrary value for any shitcoin by putting money in, that's how a PnD works,

the real value of Barr will be revealed in the future.
i wish you luck with your coin strengthening Cheesy

and if anyone wants to swap Barr for Bumba, send me a pm and we'll work something out Wink

-
edit if there is any consideration of ever swapping bumba, i will do anything useful towards it.
ie not dumping the remains of the premine Wink as they enjoy the same artificially valueless state of the Barr burnfund

only 550,000 in circulation?


Those are old figures, there are 993,343 in circulation.

So you'll have an excuse for all those premined coins you still have, after you announced you were giving them away last year?

You can't even give your coins away for free over a period of several months, but now you're offering them as a swap for other coins?


All you're really saying is "So what, BumbaCoin would be just as good as BARR if $30,000 had been invested in BumbaCoins."  
You might as well go over to the Bitcoin forum and tell them Bitcoin has nothing better than BumbaCoin other than 6 Billion dollars.  


You want to talk about a coin that has nothing uniquely special about it?  You launched an altcoin clone in 2014, exactly the same as thousands of others.
Your coin was listed on a "Dead Altcoins" list 30 days after you launched it.  That is what "anyone can do".
Your coin has 0 volume at 35 satoshis.  That is what's "easy to do".
Your ANN has 16 pages since 2 years ago.  That is something "we could do just the same", except we did it in 4 months.

of course it can be arbitrary,
lets pretend i want to increase bumba's value to a similar market cap of Barr.

i pick the arbitrary value, then i put the appropriate amount of resources into Bumba to reach that arbitrary value

i'm not saying that anyone decided to make Barr valued at 1100 sats (or whatever), i'm saying anyone can create an arbitrary value for a shit coin.
i'ts basic economics
if supply/demand create price, then manipulating supply/demand will effect price.

you're working with an artificially inflated system by arbitrarily injecting funds into the process. this is no different to selling things in a market place for bumba.
but it creates an artificial supply/demand cycle.

it's amusing how happy you are about the easily manipulatable system you're working with/ created. and how you think the outcome actually proves some sort of real value.

you havent even bothered working with a truly trustable system. you could dump any amount of Barr you wanted at any time.
i've never really looked at Next or Assets so I dont know, but with Bumba for example, it would be simple to code in a timestamp to lock fund from being accessed until that timestamp is reached.

also, you might want to keep up with your "transparency".
the opening posts in this thread are not up to date, nor is http://barr.me



You say it would be "easy" to do the same thing as BARR - but you don't even understand what we do or how it works.

lol Bumba was never meant to be anything more than a shitcoin so go figure. crypto is fun Cheesy

you're just making up amusingly outrageous crap now. lol

the only things you're doing wrong is getting outraged that i dont care how awesome Barr is, and also that you're not accepting that i could swap Bumba for Barr in exactly the same manner your doing. as could any other person ..

for whatever reasons, we gave away a couple of million bumba, and have a couple of million left.
obviously giving them away is not necessarily healthy for a coin, or perhaps you'd be doing the same Wink
how we give them away is completely arbitrary. doing a swap for another shitcoin is just another possibility. and if you cant see the humour in swapping them for Barr you should.


that said,
i was interested in getting some "gifts" for bowscoin and ended up catching a few dumps before the price pumped.
i'll watch with interest how the pump goes and where your buy walls end up Wink
perhaps it would be in my best interest to invest further funds into pumping bowscoin further Wink after all, it would be foolish of me not to enjoy such an easily manipulatable system to it's best affect.





lol.
i came on to ask why you were burning a coin with an active dev (Bowscoin), you said you'd been chatting with said dev, i said great.

then i said, maybe i could swap Bumba for Barr because we have some spare and need to give them away,
this evolves into you taking personal affront at me telling you how to operate Barr? then making outrageously untrue (and hurtful *sniff*) comments about bumba.

how to escalate an innocent discussion woot Cheesy




You came here to talk trash, and now you're upset because of the simple facts.

Like I said, we'll ask your advice when we want to be like Bumbacoin.

But you assume we're already like Bumbacoin, so it confuses and frustrates you that we do things honestly instead of the way you do things.




you havent even bothered working with a truly trustable system.


Are you trying to say "trustless"?  Those are two different things.





Quote
you could dump any amount of Barr you wanted at any time.


No, that's you and your hidden premine.  Again, we're not like Bumbacoin.

Our transparent accountability is trustless, because anyone can see exactly where every single BARR goes on the NXT blockchain in real-time.  






Quote
lol Bumba was never meant to be anything more than a shitcoin so go figure.


Then stop selling it to the public for real money.

Again, you're confused because you think everyone else runs their coins like you do.

You see your coin as a way to take people's money and then tell them it was just a joke.  That's not what we're doing.

i haven't come here to talk trash. you're just seeing trash where' there's no trash to see.

there you go making outrageous claims again, now about my honesty? lol

you're the only one who's talking trash here, i havent made one single unjustified comment.
where as they are piling up from your end.

lol. it's not trustless. trustless is where no-one needs to trust you.
i assumed you would know that seeing how pedantic you are about the difference between trustable and trustless.

your system is not trustless because there's nothing to stop you from moving coins and dumping even if everyone can see them.
"oh look, there's a big dump from the burn fund, i can see it on the blockchain. fancy that."

your record keeping is not up to date, neither this thread is being kept current, nor the website,
so no-one can tell how trustworthy your records of your swaps have been (not that a simple record of coins moving in the chain is any indication of what actually happened in the swap).


it's great that you are apparently doing things honestly,
no idea why you think you should attack my honesty though? hidden premine. lol

honesty in this situation should also entail complete open ness about your own purchases of Barr.

you are the central overseer,
you are injecting personal funds into your own public project,
you are openly manipulating the market (through injecting funds - again, nothing wrong with that at all as long as you are open),
you should be completely transparent about your actions.

lol.
i own personal bumba, so does everyone else who owns bumba.
i guess we should all take them off the market because apparently no-one should be trading shitcoins.

that just shows how confused you are, do you even know what a shitcoin is? shall i list a few for you ?
Dash, Doge, Bumba, Barr. shitcoins are everywhere bae.

lol at your claim I'm trying to take peoples money? haha that's why Bumba is such an awesome shitcoin.

you are just rude.
and ignorant Cheesy
but mostly rude, i assume most of your ignorance is just you being rude and not realising how ignorant you seem.



trash?
i haven't come here to talk trash.


You're a liar, and a waste of time.  You showed up with fud and passive-aggressive insults from your first post.

I tried responding politely, but you weren't interested in an honest conversation because you're just here to cause trouble.  

So I responded with facts to refute everything you said, and now you're whining like a baby about rudeness.  I'm not the one who showed up to someone else's thread and started spamming bullshit.  That's you, and once again you can't seem to tell the difference between yourself and other people.

We've only deleted 1 person's posts here, ever, and that was 4 months ago on the first day this thread was started.  But even with all the assholes and scammers at bitcointalk, you've managed to distinguish yourself as worse than average.  I haven't deleted any of your posts yet, but you've wasted too much space already and you're not allowed any more.






Apologies to everyone for responding to a troll.

If anyone else thinks he had a good question that got lost in the arguing, please ask and we'll try to make sure there are no legitimate concerns unanswered.

you are the liar, continually making false and misleading comments about my integrity and Bumbacoins.
and you havent  refuted a single thing i've said.

you cant' even make a simple comment without making it a personal attack on me. lol
and if my amusement at your continued rudeness is construed as passive aggressiveness, then more lolz

your politeness is sorely lacking. and i would rather just directly call you rude than make unjustified claims about your integrity.

i'm not even attacking you or the coin, nor spreading fud,
i'm only saying what is blatantly obvious,
such as that by injecting funds you are manipulating the marketplace. where's the problem? it's a simple truth

nor is the fact that your system is not trustless, it relies on your honesty, which by definition is not trustless, another simple truth.

i'm impressed by your rage Cheesy go hard brother.

i've moved posts around, to keep information in the OP. this thread started with amusement at Barr_Official/runpaints awesome troll level, but has evolved also into pointing out seeming "questionable or suspicious" behaviours around BARR.

the 2nd post contains my original post, followed by copy/paste chat from Barr thread. mainly for lols Cheesy

my personal opinion is that runpaint is not a scam dev.
he seems to be operating from naive principles. and is quite respectable at trolling which unfortunately relies too heavily on personal abuse which quickly alienates other parties resulting in fairly one sided conversations as others leave and he remains ...

...…

this contains information obtained prior to the Feb Bowscoin swap.


BARR is a Next Asset shitcoin, it has a distribution model based on burning shitcoins for BARR, also incorporating a burning BARR for OFFS. Seems a good idea.
ANN date October 25, 2015. Launch date November 1, 2015

It seems from a brief analysis, the swaps that have occurred, have been inadvertently heavily skewed in favour of the dev team,
with a vote process seemingly controlled entirely by runpaint, and early coins were publically claimed to be bagheld by runpaint.
Runpaint seems to currently hold at least ~61% of all distributed BARR, and ~60% of OFFS , (this figure prior to BSC swap in February)
1. which NXT accounts holding Barr/Offs do you or other team members own?
Most of them.  What is the point of that question?  

There's no way to hide BARR, because one click shows every account that holds it.

There's no way to hide how it was distributed, because another click shows every transaction that's ever been sent from the burn fund, and every transaction has a message attached showing which altcoins were burned to earn that BARR, as well as the altcoin txid going to the burn address.

many of the addresses are not labelled, the 61% figure above was determined by some digging around and is not publicly accessible knowledge that the addresses necessarily belong to run paint. it is based on three labelled addresses.

As you noticed, I have been involved in our 3 launch coins for a while, but not as a developer.  I started out as an altcoin daytrader, and I ended up holding some coins that not many other people wanted to buy.  That includes Fractalcoin, Keycoin, and Sapience, although "coins that not many people want to buy" describes over a thousand altcoins.  Probably 99% of all altcoins.

I think he's saying that we're only pretending to have a big list of coins, but we "secretly" chose the ones we already hold.

Not so secretly. Quite openly and deliberately.
As seems reasonably fair, it can be appropriate to give the dev team a house edge. A reason to invest time and money as it were. Some coins might issues a premine for this reason.

fair enough- however I might add another angle, and that is that of course people taking the initiative have got the edge.
idea, initiative, risk- get rewarded.

I don't even see it as an edge or advantage for us.  I hold these coins, but so do a lot of other people, and we're just exchanging them for another coin.  

runpaint seems to make some economically naive claims.
no advantage in pre-holding the shitcoins chosen? no advantage in choosing the list? no advantage in setting the swap price after a period of private trading?

it certainly seems that the process so far has been heavily weighted,
that has so far resulted in ~61% ownership of all distributed coin supply?




coin voting
The voting system has shown no outside influence, resulting in total coin choice by runpaint.

To vote for an altcoin to be accepted during the next burn period, send BARR to the Market Fund and include a message with the transaction naming the coin or coins you are voting for (don't encrypt the message).  1 BARR equals 1 vote.

here's the market fund address showing the full apparently voting history
https://www.mynxt.info/account/18396052473200615062

november 15. vote by runpaint. 1 vote for ACP, and 1 vote for LYB as Wild Card
december 6.   vote by runpaint. 50 votes for Bunnycoin, 50 votes for Unitus as Wild Card
december 13. vote by runpaint. 1950 votes for Bunnycoin 1950 votes for Unitus 50 votes for Cetuscoin 50 votes for Chaincoin
jan 14.           vote by runpaint. 10000 Votes for Bowscoin

future votes maybe interesting as anyone owning 61% of a coin certainly seems to have an advantage .


how much of total distribution of Barr does runpaint or Barr team own

0 that we didn't pay for.  
We buy altcoins from other people, with real money, and we burn those altcoins.

cutting to the chase. runpaints personal address
https://www.mynxt.info/account/NXT-297T-ZFG8-M3A7-D4TFJ

420,324.5787 BARR
138,205.0000 OFFS

then from ANN OP (which seems updated since my last perusal?)

BARR – 230,356 coins burned out of 993,343 in circulation  = 23% (self-burned BARR, sent back to the burnfund)
OFFS - 15,000 coins burned out of 230,305 in circulation = 6.5% (permanently destroyed)

~42% of BARR   and  ~60% of OFFS

unitus.ninja has 105,000 barr

so far ..

..

points to ponder,
100% of the coin swap list has been chosen by runpaint.
that person seemingly owns ~61% of BARR   and  ~60% of OFFS

that person,as well as admitting bagholding various coins also registered this address suggesting he bagheld lyrabar as well.

that same person has been in communication with Bowscoin dev for several months
We've been talking to BowsCoin Dev about burning BowsCoin since last October.  He has never objected in the past 4 months.

the swap ratio's are set by Barr, earlier coin ratio attempted to mirror a real world swap value, but those values were heavily skewed through a pump process.
Bun was declared at a higher value, attempting to encourage pump behaviour.
The resulting higher price creates a more favourable ratio for swappers, another crafted advantage.

a stated attention is to lift the "difficulty" and aim for higher value coins, this will have the advantage of reducing the amount of Barr needed for each swap.
similar to a POS halving regime, the early swappers get higher rewards and the later swappers get lower. this will help maintain the serious imbalance in coin distribution.

will Barr's future voting list closely mirror runpaints prior activities on coin threads?

how much BTC have they invested in pumping these coins, not just to enhance their swap ratio's but also to enhance Barr's "real" value.

.
when they account for their burns, they also seem to use naive market value approximations.

We have burned 2,000,000 BSC, which is over 37% of the supply, with a current value of approximately $3200.

the then current price on c-cex was 400 sats or so.
the buy book had a 0.0001 btc buy order at 400 sats, with the next order at 200,
and a total buy support of 0.31 btc down to 1 sat.

using a market valuation based on current price is easily manipulatable, and does not seem highly useful for a coin with no support.

amusing quotes -

One BARR appears to be worth 0.00002834BTC at this point in time and there are 10,000,000 BARRs out there
Incorrect.  Where did you get that figure?  BARR is at 3.3 NXT, so it's more like .00009000 BTC.

And there are 0 BARRs currently out there in circulation, with a maximum of 1,500,000 issued by the end of the first exchange period, if we burn 100% of the supplies of KEY, FRAC, and XAI.

yep, 0 Barrs in circulation trading for 3.3 NXT

--

-sigh-
Fractalcoin wallet now rescanning.  I sent 2 smaller transactions, but then I broke it by sending one too big.  

The fact that these things barely work is an excellent example of why we're doing this project.

on his thread, vs trolling DGCS dev

If you plan to transfer more the 100,000 coins I suggest you break it up into smaller amounts and do it in several transactions. Now sure how much the block chain can handle

Yeah those block chains can only handle so many bytes, keeping it under 100,000 will save 1 byte so that's good advice

--

I was looking at data of XAI, KEY, FRAC markets and it appears that on Nov. 1st all of these markets experienced price increases due to people buying these coins for redeeming for BARR.

That is part of our stated purpose.  The only way to earn new BARR is to burn the accepted altcoins during each burn period, so we have to support the price of these altcoins in order to support the price of BARR.  

when you want to buy shitcoins to burn you want to pump them first.
with the stated intention of making it more attractive for bagholders to burn,
whilst also enhancing swap ratios for everyone. especially bagholders

--

other accusations of foul play
You bought them outside of the exchange period and outside the exchange price, which is trade as usual. How do we not know you are collecting them at the current exchange price and using the pre pumped coins to profit off barr invesotrs/ almost buying 3:1 barr with your pre purchased ACP


There is no "buy period".  We exchanged them within the exchange period.

Quote
and outside the exchange price

There is no "exchange price", other than 1 BARR for 20 ACP.  That is our rate, and it doesn't matter if you mined your ACP, bought it low, bought it high, or got it for free.  None of that is any of our business.  We exchange ACP.

They started buying. Then set a coin swap ratio after some privately transacted purchasing had been going on - obviously if there stated intentions is to raise the price, there is a certain amount of coins bought below the set ratio.
Just another bit of "how to get moar coinz for free"? or  "none of our business, none of your business"?

Quote
and using the pre pumped coins to profit off barr invesotrs/ almost buying 3:1 barr with your pre purchased ACP

That's not how it works, and you don't seem to know what you're talking about.  

buying under 600 sats gives them a higher swap ratio.
any pump action inadvertently gives them a chance to pick up cheap coins and swap for a better ratio.
possibly they are changing the process? assumedly to positively enhance Barr.




--

But they are wrong;  it's not a zero-sum game.  Capital can be destroyed.  People are pumping money into cryptocurrency, and that money isn't guaranteed to continue existing in any form.  Altcoins die, and there is less money available in the world.  More specifically, there is less money available in the crypto world.  

but strangely owning 61% of an alt makes it worth as much as it's latest trade. market capitalizations based on latest trade info doesn't' seem particularly useful in the case of 99% of all crypto shitcoins where a minor dump can diminish their price considerably.

--

The voting is over for January, and the winners are Bunnycoin and Unitus as a Wild Card.

well done runpaint, the single vote cast by you was a decisive blow.
