Any one knows, are these Vericoin cheerleaders scammers or they completely delusional and ignore the reality? Most of them like Lootz have daily job so they can't be stupid/delusional, so they must be scammers or some kind of con artists.
I just saw Lootz was posting that the pool has been switched off (another failure of course) and he says the buying pressure is coming back to Vericoin, because Supernet and the usual BS about how Vericoin will have world dominance very soon ... to scam people into this failing operation.
Just delusional. And not exactly bright, of course.
Thanks, that's what I thought :-))
Safron looks interesting. There are lot of items on the roadmap, they must have a large team to be able to cope with that work load.
Actually no, just an Indian guy that everyone seems to like and admire -and for good reason it seems- and a couple of collaborators. But the one it has is full time dedicated to the project --except for a coin that he recently "helped" develop. It seems it was just a passing distraction and he not only works full time on Saffron but is quick to answer questions in its uncensored thread.
Have you seen their wallet?
Not yet, but I understood from the description that it uses webkit so I assume an HTML5 interface was compiled into the wallet.
I think you are quite right telling them to forget the decentralized exchange. In my opinion they wont be able to compete with BitBay's David Zimbeck, I have the impression that the guy is on a serious mission, he is in trouble in Cambodia so he need to make BitBay a success, and from the long discussion I had with him today it seems to me he - unlike our the Stooges - knows what he is doing and how to develop software. So, if I would be a safron dev I would take your advise and won't be competing with Bitbay at this stage.
My opinion is not based on technical knowledge and capabilities -I believe Mohammed can compete with anyone on that aspect and come out the winner-, but on practical issues, most specifically the multinations agencies waging war on decentralized (so called) websites and the like. They just arrested Defcom and dismantled Silk Road 2 as well as put down more than 400 clandestine (so to speak) website... with much more to come, so soon that it is already in the final stages of the investigation process. No matter how you want to look at it or which coin has it (and tens are in the process of having it) a so called "decentralized exchange" is a nest for illegal activities. And the authorities simply will not tolerate them. It is as simple as that.
Meanwhile what this guy at Saffron has achieved already is impressive -and not reflected at all in the market cap --I believe because the name is so... uninspiring- and it is a pity, in my view, that he would be wasting so much effort and so many resources on something that, ultimately, will not only not benefit the project but actually may cause it undoing.
The legal risk and to not get into legal troubles are certainly a better argument against the decentralized exchange then worried about development issues. I have to agree with you that such feature doesn't worth the risks. I am not sure if the VRC devs consider the legal risk of the decentralized storage at all, probably not.
Of course they do. They are not stupid, just act like they are when they don't know what to do. But they feel they are on James' hands and they don't want to risk that James would put and end to the Supernet idea and dump the 2 million + coins (Vericoins) in the market taking it to the 1000 sat level.
They are simply not confident enough -and with good reason- to see that James needs them rather desperately to be his front and not having to come forward and show his face, something he will just NOT do no matter the price. Besides that, James will not dump VRC, unless directly challenged to do so, because it is his pleasure to hold coins long term. And he doesn't go back in his word capriciously... like out dear stooges do all the time.
I am hoping that James, who is a very clever individual, will see how absurd and dangerous the idea of the decentralized cloud storage is and change direction. The stooges simply won't do it by themselves, nor force James' hand in any way. They are personally happy with their 10-15,000 dollars market value of their personal stakes each and they have bigger fish to fry at school, work and, now, another nice little source of revenue "helping" other coins. They are fine, regardless how much lower the price goes, so they won't rock any boats.
On a separate subject, someone -probably one of his socket accounts- have actually nominated J Bosh (Wizzrig for you) for the Honor Award, have you seen it? I knew you would be delighted in knowing...
