Looks like Mintpal is coming up piece by piece atm

Fingers crossed for XCR



And by the way it's more apparent than ever if XCR want to suceed it needs XCR/USD pair because bitcoin sucks

It's not quite that simple. Russia has a strong stance on the use of other currencies within their country and obviously views Bitcoin as both a currency and a commodity. Because they have large holdings in gold as well, it makes the situation even more difficult as I believe they see Bitcoin as a threat to gold in the long term.

The Crypti R&D team and office will be located in Belarus by the end of the month if all goes well.

In the US, proposed laws are really just meant as a fund raiser.  Propose a law that further regulates air travel, and you will receive campaign contributions from lobbyists to make it go away.

This could be a russian version of the same thing.

I don't know how much I am allowed to say, but the problem you declared is only valid in russia. Not a big problem if you think a little bit further.

It looks like they are trying to fight the phenomenon, and not to accumulate funds..
2500$ fine is for individuals, but it's a pretty big one for bitcoin promoting related activities. If they want to to be harsh they probably treat Crypti and its similars as legal entities.
lets say even 25,000$ is possible amount if if it's one time event.  traffic fines for example are not one time event - if you keep braking the law you either keep getting the same fines, or getting bigger punishments.
I'm interested in the team response here. if they will make such laws (which seems they are eager to and the current direction) will you keep going (breaking those laws)?

Yes mass production was a very large hurtle to over come... While I really do enjoy a good convo about Graphene... A lot of my work is now confidential... and at the moment a great deal of my focus is on Crypti... which is not all bad... that tube furnace is expensive to run...     


Back to work... We are very busy today!! 

Graphene is a marvelous product, but you dont mine it.  Its pure carbon, which is available everywhere.  It is manufactured in small quantities right now, due to the difficulty of making large sheets or tubes.  I believe the nanotubes are limited to 3mm in length right now.  Not very useful for making a space elevator, but quite useful in a capacitor.

Capacitors are the ultimate storage medium for electricity, but their capacity is limited by their surface area.  Nanotube blocks offer an almost infinite surface area.  The Star Trek phasers would be powered by nanotube capacitors, as no chemical battery could deliver that much power so quickly in a hand held device.   Once electric cars can utilize nanotube batteries, they will have fantastic range, and will no longer be those little metal death traps they are now. 

As for investing?  I don't know.  Graphene is where transistors were in 1950.  Very expensive, limited quantity, and still requiring development and engineering.  Graphene is the future, but as an investment, I am not sure it is worth it right now.  A small company would be too risky to invest in for me.  A large Company. like DOW or DuPont would have a greater chance of success, but the profits from graphene then get diluted by the size of the company. 

Was expecting a superb answer and I am not disappointed at all.

Will look first around kitco and go on from there, most probably will spam you with questions once I have the basic knowledge to formulate some that actually make sense.

Thanks, maestro.

RIGHT.  The fines imposes by the Russian Federation for dealing in crypto coins are equivalent to traffic fines.   Consider it the cost of dooing business.

OH OH ........ thread drift coming...........  you ask,  I answer.......

If you are interested in mining stocks, I suggest you check out  http://www.kitco.com/. 
Lots of daily articles and news from the mining world, not just gold and silver, although that seems to be the main focus.  Also tables on current prices of metals, currencies, and ETFs.  They even have a pool fund where you can trade shares in physical metals.  You can take delivery or buy/sell as you wish. 

There is a weekly article written by Bill Matlack, rating the mining companies on a scale for buy/hold/sell:
http://www.kitco.com/ind/Matlack/2014-09-29-Metals-Mining-Analysts-Ratings-Estimates-Seniors.html

The lower the number, the better the buy.  There are two articles weekly, one rates the Juniors, another the Seniors.  I don't invest in the Juniors, as they are either exploration companies without mining operations, or start-ups that have not produced any metal.  Seniors are the mature, producing companies.

Likely the best buy right now is Silver Wheaton.  This company does not mine.  The company purchased metal in the ground from miners needing cash years ago, and as it is mined, the company receives either the metal or the sale price.  Silver Wheaton is getting silver for around $3-5 an ounce right now. 

The reason the miners are a good buy now, is because the COMEX price for metals has been manipulated down to the cost of production, and even below the cost of production.  So when the price of Silver rises even a few dollars, it is all profit.  A price rise of $10 an ounce would likely raise the stock value 10X or more.  $50 silver would see 100X stock prices.

Silver is an industrial metal mainly, and most of its uses result in it being thrown away in land fills.  It isn't worth the  energy to recover a few grams of silver or gold from each old cellphone, scrape the silver off old mirrors, or dig the silver out of each old solar panel.  This results in a constant need for new sources of silver.  BTW, most silver is mined as a byproduct of copper, gold, or other base metal mining.  The lower demand for copper and base metals then affects the availability of silver. 

I could go on here for 3 pages, but this is about XCR.  PM me if you have SPECIFIC questions.

Worst case scenario he gets fined $2500 or/he is forced to take down something that he cannot when the network has been decentralized

I think

Please explain?

does this mean the graphite pencils we use are going to cost 10-30x more soon? better stock up on pencils!!

Not at all.

How will this affect Crypti? http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2i8qcd/russia_proposes_monetary_penalties_for_bitcoin/

Me too. How likely is it, that Graphene take over the world? How far is the research?

Really? I'd like to learn more, would be great to know who is he/she and exchange some ideas.

I live in a country where manpower is cheap and already have access to a furnace, thoughts racing through my head already...

Eth.

I have a Graphene fetish as well. One of the Crypti board members is actively researching it, has his own tube furnaces.

To anybody wanting to dump their XCR, please feel free to PM me.
