Like it or not Bitcoin is heading down the route of high fee, low volume, small block, off-chain scaling settlement layer, litecoin on the other hand is shooting for low fee, high volume, adaptive block, on-chain scaling payment system.

Even if Bitcoin and litecoin were identical the two are heading down completely seperate distinct paths, also Bitcoin core has pretty much laid to rest and hammered the coffin shut for good on the idea of "one coin (one dev team) to rule them all"

A note on price - the majority simply will not consider investing one single cent on litecoin at $5.00, but will be eager buyers at $30-50.

I personally believe that the soft fork that has been proposed to lock up the ether inside the DAO to block the attack is, on balance, a good idea, and I personally, on balance, support it, and I support the fork being developed and encourage miners to upgrade to a client version that supports the fork. That said, I recognize that there are very heavy arguments on both sides, and that either direction would have seen very heavy opposition; I personally had many messages in the hour after the fork advising me on courses of action and, at the time, a substantial majority lay in favor of taking positive action. The fortunate fact that an actual rollback of transactions that would have substantially inconvenienced users and exchanges was not necessary further weighed in that direction. Many others, including inside the foundation, find the balance of arguments laying in the other direction; I will not attempt to prevent or discourage them from speaking their minds including in public forums, or even from lobbying miners to resist the soft fork. I steadfastly refuse to villify anyone who is taking the opposite side from me on this particular issue.

Miners also have a choice in this regard in the pro-fork direction: ethcore's Parity client has implemented a pull request for the soft fork already, and miners are free to download and run it. We need more client diversity in any case; that is how we secure the network's ongoing decentralization, not by means of a centralized individual or company or foundation unilaterally deciding to adhere or not adhere to particular political principles.

WOW ETH/dAO is now completely FUCKED - 8.3 Million ETH stolen!! thats like $166 million ROFL

I cannot believe you are unable to read all the anti-eth threads popping up today.

But "What's wrong with ETH" is actually a good question.

According to the Ethereum devs, the "DAO code" is the culprit. But that may not be the whole truth.

At a first glance, the culprit could also be the turing-complete smart contract language. Turing complete languages give attackers the possibility to write malware like viruses or trojans. If I understand right, we may be in presence of the first "descentralized malware" written on a cryptocurrency platform.

That may be a major problem for Ethereum, because their "unique selling point" is actually the turing complete smart contract platform. Now it's obvious that their language can be used to code all kinds of scams. Other non-turing-complete smart contract platforms like Qora or Bitshares (and Bitcoin itself) have not seen these kinds of attacks. So they may be more limited, but superior in terms of security, to Ethereum.

The only way for ETH now is down. Investors will not trust Eth smart contracts anymore. Without that it has nothing going for it.

That is very sad (at least for me) I was going to buy some more BTCTALKcoin, but I guess it will have to wait until there are new and better exchanges for the coin. Anyways, I'm staking the coins I hold as much as I can. Maybe I get lucky and the price will skyrocket once there is enough exchanges for it.

It would be best for it to be added on Poloniex at least. Anyways, let's see if it gets added to Yobit first.  

Guys in Crypto all think they are big shots..

Remember Marshall Long who claimed he was the Co-Founder & CTFO of Cryptsy ?
His legendary cred was filing a patent for a two handed shake-weight (like the exercise thing on TV)

LOL

Or how about Craig Wright ?
Compare his resume with this guys.. they sound an awful lot alike !

No more exchange for TALK/BCC. Alcurex chat dude says devs need to fix issues before adding to new site.

     the simplest malware is a website

i have never done it, but known people that have and it is so simple and never catches a single eye

you download and install wordpress and set up a good strong blog, set up a free user based subscription and that is it

most computer/internet users have 1-5 email addresses and two of those are used more than the rest

most users have three main passwords and two others

passwords vary by user based on the three security password configs, any number letter combo six keys or more, must have a letter and a number and the last that adds the special character requirement

for example, depending on the website requirements a normal user may have these three main passwords

password
password123
password123$

when they sign up for your blog, they are likely using their secondary/spam catch email and one of those main passwords

when they signed up for a bank account, paypal or another main service, they used their main email and one of those passwords

a word press site that requires a special character, number and text has just about gotten all three passwords by simply working backwards, don't spam the subscribers and ask them for a second recovery email account after thirty days and you will have the primary email, probably, if not, that is a pretty easy find on the internet

no viruses, no Trojans or keyloggers, just human nature and the inability to remember too many damned passwords

i have know developers to take it one step further and modify the sign up process, the signup would keep telling the person that the email was already in use three times and get three email addresses and then the password setup script was modified to be a real pain and say no to the simple password, asking for a capital and number, then after that password, add the special character request and boom, three main passwords and three email addresses, worse case scenario, the person gets frustrated and leaves the site

too much of a pain for me and just sooooooo wrong, but one of our past IT guys did it over and over, the hardest part was actually developing a strong and good blog that made people want to sign up, with traffic at 500 plus per day, that means around 20 new signups each day, he collected them but never did anything, just as a case in point, after two years he had around 18,000 user profiles, he spot checked more than fifty and was in their paypal within three minutes, used that to see their bank accounts and in those accounts in another three minutes with about a 87% sucess rate

remember when you sign up on a new site or app, you are giving that info to whoever made(or even copied) the site and i personally have both spam emails catcher and a full set of spam passwords that i use on new sites, plus my credit cards can all produce a virtual number from their site for use on unknown websites that will disappear after one use or a given amount of money spent, you almost need to be three people, the businessman, the social magnet, and then guy who hands out info to any site that so much as looks interesting, lol

“All it does it send one transaction with a low fee -- so low that it would take hours (if ever) for it to get mined -- and then it waits maybe thirty seconds and then it sends another transaction spending the same bitcoin back to yourself rather than to the recipient with a higher fee . . . There are enough miners out there that would have not accepted the first transaction because it has such a low fee . . . [but] they’ll accept the second transaction.”

Hello CON Community!!!

We are making progress with CON.  New graphics have already been completed.  Coding is in the works as we speak.  We will begin working on a new website soon as well. 

I would like to open the discussion of the new reward structure.  What do you think the rewards should be set at? Yearly Percentage, min and max stake times, etc.

Also what features would like to see added to CON in the future?  Not saying every suggestion will be implemented or the ones that are will be in the first release but I would like to get your opinions. 

If you would like to join our community chat group please feel free to @ https://join.skype.com/t5DJc03RoGkE
