hi svlug just curious, or actually more than curious, is there anybody out in SVLUG-land looking to play/work or already working in cryptocurrencies i've looked ( 5minutes of poking around ) at OpenSourceCoin, PenguinCoin ( market cap of $286 or so ) , etc --- think what would happen if you bought $150 of Peng coins :-) https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/penguincoin/ # there's 1383 coins listed ( hashing methods used ) http://www.cryptocurrencygraphs.com/analysis/tech_compare # bigger list of 2846 altcoins https://minkiz.co/coin/name - lets make yet another one :-) - there's at least 5 cannabis related coins which also make "business" sense, because it is still a schedule-1 drug ... the States with medical mj should NOT be using cash ( paper or metal ) or credit cards for "illegal activities" :-) my crypto interests: - i think some lost ( 42,000+ ) bitcoin addresses ( wallets ) may have simple passphrases like "My dog has fleas" or "i hate my ex" -- remember, the top-10 (regular) passwords, and bank pin# is what ?? - i think 99% of all altcoins will probably be a pump-n-dump, but specific coins for specific purposes or fundraising of R-n-D budgets at major corps may survive along with bitcoin/ethereum ( which may be too big to fail ... way too many newbie investors drooling at 1,000% return on investments ) - i think it should be ez enuff to demo 51% attacks and folks should be worried - being a contrarian, i think having a mechanism to reverse some community authorized and authenticated blockchain transactions, should be of some value ( super master node ? ) vs the steadfast hands down, no you cannot reverse a blockchain transaction ... --- aka probably somebody's PhD thesis ( blockchain-v2.0 ) on cryptocurrency similarly, it'd be good to keep track of where the transaction came from let's continue discussions offline ?? thanx alvin [email protected] _______________________________________________ svlug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.svlug.org/lists/listinfo/svlug
