Right. Try explaining to the tech illiterate masses how being different from bitcoin is good.

Think AOL and iPods for an idea of the massive advantage a true Bitcoin twin, like iXcoin, has.

And Oh, features.  I vomit everytime I hear someone clueless talk about features and open source in the same sentence.

Show me the best features in any coin and I'll legally rob those features and not even give you a mention of your "innovation."

And what about that other little feature called security, can you copy and paste iXcoin's massive security advantage?  It's 2014 and you supposed devs and techies still don't get the simple fact that the coins you back will NEVER be secure enough for any form of massive adoption.

And the masses have decided you say?

Ahahaaaa. There are HUGE things behind the scenes which involve iXcoin and no other alt coin.

Soon you [and everyone else] will realize the error in your logic.

As for the hidden meanings.  I didn't put them there, I simply found them.  If you knew anything about history and how Symbolism and hidden meanings are used you may actually pay attention and learn something instead of mocking.

I recommend that YOU accumulate more MasterCoin, you know, for those awesome features I'm gonna take and code on top of ShitCoin just to prove how silly you guys sound.

I`m by no means an "expert" on Mastercoin XD, but I have been following the project since its launch.

In regards to any hidden symbolism or meaning, I must say that there doesn`t seem to be any. It`s all
quite transparent actually. We can certainly invent some devious conspiracy or prophecy about it, but I doubt anyone
would buy it.

iXcoin does seem very similar to Mastercoin, when thinking about user currencies and smart contracts, but
there are several significant differences which you can read about here: http://wiki.mastercoin.org/index.php/FAQ#How_is_the_Master_Protocol_different_from_alt-coins.2C_MST.2C_colored_coins.2C_Ripple.2C_Protoshares.2C_or_Ethereum.3F
Moreover, the crypto-community has certainly made it clear which it prefers

Lastly, I did want to point out that Mastercoin is not a "clone" of bitcoin. In other words, it`s not copy and pasted code.
It`s completely original. A good analogy would be to think of the relationship of bitcoin to Mastercoin as the relationship
between tcp/ip to http. Not exactly twins, but maybe the better looking cousin?

Ahahahaaaaa.

How funny.  Months ago (when the first rumors of Gox losing coins came out) I said the Gox coins were stolen by:  JP Morgan Chase, Goldman and the NSA, and I also said Bitcoin is centralized and would be ran by those 3  [plus other large powerful special interest groups].

Now an executive who worked for [at least] two of the 3 is gonna run the new Gox?

So many, MANY coincidences keep popping up.

This is huge: http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-core-developers-bitcoin-side-chains/

Gee, this ain't obvious:  John Betts, a former Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs executive who would serve as the new Mt. Gox CEO.... http://www.coindesk.com/investor-group-offers-buy-mt-gox-one-bitcoin/

Sorry, MasterCoin is not a Twin of Bitcoin.

More like a bastard clone child.  Some future but nothing like the promised land reserved for the Twin.

Since you're a MasterCoin expert, may I ask, have you found any hidden meanings?

Cause I've tried and failed and it seems odd that iXcoin should have so many hidden meanings and symbolism and have it all be totally by accident, while all the other great and popular coins have none.

Isn`t it obvious guys? Clearly Mastercoin is the brother of bitcoin (since built on top of btc protocol).
Mastercoin will overtake its older counterpart(bitcoin) in value as in to become the new king. While
bitcoin continues to exist as a tool to use Mastercoin!

Are you claiming bitcoin litecoin and such still cannot be withdrawn?

I thought all that was in the past, that now you can sell alts for bitcoin and withdraw the bitcoin?

-MarkM-

Well of course they'll revive gox because greed makes people do stupid things.

The evil banksters have been FUD'n for centuries.

I'm not surprised.  The only way anyone would relaunch or buy Gox is if they can refund those "lost" coins cause otherwise who would ever trust them ever again?

Would you buy Enron stock after its theft and collapse? 

Makes no sense any other way.

yes.  it's building a decentralized IT infrastructure for more resilient gov't ops.  current infrastructure is so centralized that it acts as focal points of attack.  prior to 9/11 after the fall of the USSR the military analysts were already predicting a move to asymmetric warfare (cell groups) in urban environs, and thinking about how the military should address that.

why did the Americans win over the British?  Decentralized, guerrilla warfare with strike and run capabilities. non-p2p programs are more vulnerable, p2p expose flaws faster due to interconnection.

so many people in crypto have worked with the US govt at some point...  there are so many crypto guys in signal intel. 

 MT. GOX BUYERS WOULD OFFER CREDITORS 20 PERCENT PAYOUT OR EQUITY IN REVIVED EXCHANGE. Someone wants to buy Mt Gox?

Interesting line of reasoning, RobFord.

Gavin did something on iXcoin but I don't know if it was anything meaningful enough to say he worked on iXcoin.

Any coders here from 2011?  Can anyone add some color?

Thanks.

Regarding adoption in America.

There is now a proposal to confiscate trillion dollar Private US pension funds and invest it for the people, for their own good.

If that happens I'm certain they'll pump hundreds of billions of those pensions into cryptos.

It would essentially be a wealth confiscation, a redistribution of wealth.  The biggest global redistribution of wealth the world has ever seen.

The smart money is buying now, in a big way and my guess is world governments too so these early adopters will receive all of the transferred wealth. Among them will be a few of us but most people will sell way early so only a handful of actual people will get rich.

And then, once everyone is inside the blockCHAIN, you pull the trap door, and dilute the mother and impoverish everyone.

And the state will say:  We warned you.  We warned you all that you'd lose everything, but you didn't listen. You can only blame your own greed and hate for banks and government.

Hahahaaa.  I don't know why but that's funny.  Almost fitting in a sad, sadistic way.

I have a different theory about Gavin.

He was hand picked by Satoshi.  So if Satoshi designed GATT then it makes sense he wouldn't leave it in the hands of just anyone.

So Gavin has been CIA from day one.  

And now it's time to move to the next stage of the project.  Wouldn't it be interesting if he goes to a different coin under the guise of:  "Oh, Bitcoin isn't what it used to be, it's become too centralized, and I want to back a coin which fulfills Satoshi's lies, err, pipe dreams."

And what better coin to choose than you know, the Twin!  Instant street credit, instant overnight $10 price.  And none of the sheep would see a thing.

I know, that's a huge stretch but who would have thought Gavin was the next to go. I didn't even see that coming, I thought Gavin would be last to be kicked out.

No matter how many articles are written I will not believe in Bitcoin's mass adoption in America. Simply isn't happening. The public still requires a great deal of conditioning.

The plan is to roll it out gradually. There will be tons of people who won't switch.

1. Access: they're too old and don't want to adopt or cannot afford computers.
2. Security: It's expensive, I don't want it stolen.
3. Ignorance: I sell drugs and pimp hoes. I think facebook on my macbook pro/air is the pinnacle of the computing world.

It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to see that the ignorant masses are not the target audience here. It's young, tech-savvy minds. A great statistical proportion of people over the age of 45-50+ will be impossible to incorporate.

I view cryptos as the stock market 2.0, it's going to take awhile for the mainstream to not only know of it but actually act on the information.


I know a large number of computer majors that aren't on the ball for this... and it's their "field of study".

This is getting out of control: http://www.coindesk.com/the-europas-digital-currency-category-2014-tech-awards/  Seriously? What's next, an Oscar for best altcoin? And the nominees for best new scrypt based shitcoin are.....By 2016 they will be trying to award Satoshi a Nobel.


Hmmmm, bitcoin uses too much energy for POW....Solution? Changing the bitcoin code http://www.coindesk.com/greener-bitcoin-reduce-carbon-emissions/

This is huge: http://www.coindesk.com/french-retail-chain-monoprix-accept-bitcoin-payments-year/  Monoprix sounds like a smaller French version of Walmart. With 300 stores and an internet presence it will be interesting to see what other similar type companies jump on btc and when.

And finally: Congressman "Stockman’s proposal recognizes bitcoin and other digital currencies as legal tender." If this bill passes....holey doodoo. http://www.coindesk.com/us-congressman-submit-bitcoin-tax-bill/
