hahahahhaha

Good luck when you’re old. “I’m already 70 so I don’t mind eating shit”

>There must be something special about Skycoin then, r-right?
The piles of cash the project gave him for this circus stunt had to surely be special

skycoin seems like an incredibly ambitious project just not sure about adoption

u reckon it'll literally become as popular as tor?

Not until they implement a consensus algorithm, which most likely means never.

How much do you think they paid him?

300k maybe more like 500k

whats going on with obelisk?

In one year it will have more nodes than TOR

OH NONONONONO

Nothing, that's the point. The project focuses on other, non-essential elements instead.

You stupied

>muh vision!
>disregard all red flags
sky mentality = communist mentality

In an industry where every project is total vaporware, Skycoin is being scapegoated as vaporware. Bestcoin confirmed.

He should've tattoo'd it on his dick so he wouldn't have it past 2020

>scapegoated as vaporware
It loudly proclaims itself as decentralized, despite not operating on any consensus algorithm. Boasting and virtue signaling all around and all the time. It's the most blatant vaporware out there, next to IOTA.

scapegoating confirmed

How is skywire non essential? Creating value beyond speculation is crucial. When mainnet is operational you'll have an actual ecosystem of hardware vendors, networking technicians and wisp providers. CX and Obelisk will then expand that existing userbase by onboarding developers to create native and fiber applications.

That's true, it's the premier example of vaporware. One that's been blatantly spammed on biz for some time. All other shitcoin holders have have the decency to stick to r*ddit.

Don't be a negative nancy. Of course it's coming.

Like what, decentralized internet? Grow up.

It's not a crypto currently. Even shittokens are decentralized via the virtue of being ERC20 tokens.
Sky is a sql database in Shynt's basement. If they can't finish the bare fundamentals, it is highly indicative that they can't deliver anything at all. History of incompetence and no-substance vision-weaving and all.
IOTA is incredibly similar. Large boasts, but can't implement a proper fucking wallet.

There's different kinds of decentralized. It's more so than something like Ripple and they're moving towards more and more decentralization all the time. BTC with it's flawed consensus is not decentralized, it's controlled by Bitmain.

I shilled it on biz 18 months ago and the thread didnt even get a single reply

Keep your panties on. This project has more tech and progress behind it than most of the other tokens out there. Their hardened version of CoinJoin is genius.

>communist mentality
>All other shitcoin holders have have the decency to stick to r*ddit.
>decentralized via the virtue of being ERC20 tokens.
Synth actually is like an iceberg. The human shaped body is just the tip of a tentacle that extends out from the core of the planet. It is unknown how many of these tentacles exist.

>SQL database
Tbh if people can't filter this shit out for themselves its on them lol

Bitmain doesn't have 51% haspower. Synth has the equivalent of 100% hashpower.
Bitcoin consensus algo is better via the virtue of actually working. All other ones are pie-in-the-sky promises that failed to deliver continuously.

Not Excel, Golang.

What is the relationship between bitcoin miners and all other pow coin miners?

>decentralized via the virtue of being ERC20 tokens.
Explain how this isn't true. Devs can't randomly snag your ERC20 tokens, there's no threat of it.

They just unlock the ICO distribution flag and reissue more tokens.

>SQL database
It could be a MS Access database or a CSV file for all we know. Doesn't matter in the end, it's a centralized database.

The Chinese miners are all the same entity. They effectively control consensus and jack up fees to line their pockets.

The difference is that Skycoin isn't dumb enough to put out a broken consensus until they have theirs working right. Until then them having 100% control is preferable than a bunch of Chinese NPCs with free government power.

Skycoin is more than about tech. Yes we know the meshnet is going to be shit when it first launches, have a medal faggot
What the fuck are you expecting? 1Gbs up and downstream with 100% uptime this time next year? Grow a brain faggot.

Bitcoin is shit and hasn't changed for 7 years because every single cent from bitcoins price increase is extracted by miners, speculators, and scammers. Every single dollar goes to consumption - extracted from the host like a bunch of parasites - instead of investment back into the network.

If Bitcoin took 1% of its 100 billion market cap and put it into crypto projects and infrastructure, the results would easily offset the money spent by an order of magnitude. But instead the money is siphoned off by leeches and none of the money from Bitcoin's rise goes to anything for crypto adoption.

Bitcoin is an example of the free rider problem. The people with millions of dollars in Bitcoin are having yacht coke parties and scammers like Roger Ver and CSW create BCASH and other scam projects to extract even more money and leech from the host like a parasite. Meanwhile, projects that could improve the Bitcoin network and increase usability (and thus increase the market cap by hundreds of billions of dollars) cannot even raise $20,000. Even in Oct 2018, the bible basher Luke can't get funding for his work and has to take a day job: twitter.com/LukeDashjr/status/1054545007418507264

Skycoin is set up to have the coin intrinsically tied to a useful resource: bandwidth in an uncensorable P2P internet. The demand for this is going to grow. Since the coin is tied to providing a useful service/resource, Skyminers are incentivized to continually improve their quality and service to earn more SKY, meaning that at least some of the money from any price rise on SKY will go back into the network to continually improve it

All Skycoin has to do is provide a POC to get the project off the ground, the rest will take care of itself.

the fact that that shitcoin is down 8,22% while that faggot is trying his best to shill is a sign that noobs are out of the game and we bull now

>true
>unironically using this word
Are you going to answer my question about POW?

You can do this on a vast minority of them. Even then, you know what you get into due to the ICO smart contract being immutable because of ethereums decentralization.

Which is vastly preferable than the coins out there with broken PoW or PoS. Not one of them actually works.

Skycoin will release theirs when it works.

In 2008 the largest socioeconomic issue was money printing by the banks
In 2018 the largest socioeconomic issue is data privacy and censorship of the internet. These issues aren't something that just impacts those with politically correct thoughts, it affects big businesses as well. If you work in the corporate ventures arm of BP for example, and you are looking at investing $15m in a new tech company, Google will know what your search terms are, what websites you've visited, what messages you exchanged over linkedin. In short, the data is available to know what company you are about to invest in. Same for oil exploration or basically any big company. GDPR won't help and this data is available for a price or with the right connections.

Skywire is a new networking protocol. Basically IP addresses will be replaced with blockchain addresses and it will be a completely P2P internet. It is a completely different internet. For example now on IMGUR we all go to the website and download an image from whatever server it's on. In Skywire, if you neighbour has the image on his Skyminer, and 5 people from Europe, NA and Japan have the same image, you will download the image simultaneously from all 6 people the same way bittorrent works.

Skywire has a 20 year development timeline with at least 15 years hardcoded distribution for the remaining 75m coins as rewards for running the Skywire network. People thinking this meshnet gets built in 18months are completely deluded and are forgetting the collective power and greed of thousands of miners working to improve their own nodes. People started massive companies and designed their own custom ASIC miners as early as 2012 in Bitcoin, all to do nothing but grab as much money as possible.

Skywire creates the right incentives to take advantage of this innate human greed. In Skywire people will still grab as much money as possible, but in doing so will be forced to improve the network.

It costs 1000 dollars to have him promo something (tweets, shitpost somewhere, etc. Basic things in general).
It costs 10,000 to have him endorse something (interview, twitter campaign, blogs, etc.)
It costs 100,000 for professional shilling.

What you should be asking isn't why viral virus guy is talking about some nonsense, but how the people behind the nonsense could afford to pay him in the first place.

>mfw there are people on biz who thinks he shills shit because he likes them.

>Not one of them actually works
>full on delusion and bending of reality
PoW works, period. Why are Sky holders so schizophrenic?

The devs don't have to, randos just find bugs in the smart contracts and drain them.

It's not though, Skycoin is a UT/XT distributed ledger. improved version of utxo

>ITT newbie laymen investors get blinded by grandiose visions

51% vulnerability is not "working". Double spending is a deal breaker.

What i'm getting at is that POW only works for Bitcoin, if there was enough hashpower available to secure other POW coins, the hashpower would be used instead to rewrite the Bitcoin ledger.

>51% vulnerability is not "working"
Reality proves you otherwise, apologies for that.

Yes, Uncle Cleetus, digital money sure is gee willikers crazy, ain't it?

Ethereum PoW enables a slew of shitcoins to thrieve.

This. The scraps of haspower left over for other POW coins does nothing to secure them against double spends.

This is splitting hairs. The fact is, there is not enough hashpower to go around for 99% of POW coins that will ever exist.

Well I hope the Chinese miners let you transfer your 5 BTC without issue. Good luck.

>he thinks sky is digital money like Bitcoin or Ether
Like was said, newbie leymen investors

Also., don't pretend like people are happy with their erc tokens. 9% of projects that use those are complete dogshit. They have existed for less than 2 years and spend most of their funds on marketing and exchange listings. The bear market will cause them to go bankrupt and the token holders will lose everything.

Hashpower is important in relation to hashpower of other actors. There is never 'not enough'.
Hashpower is further divided by the workload they are performing. Not everything is sha256

>are complete dogshit
True. That's a different argument.
At least nobody can take away your TRON tokens if you have them on your address, regardless of how much of a scam it is.

Bitcoin is proof of useless work, Skycoin distribution method is proof of useful work

distribution and consensus are different things, you think BTC went through the roof because of PoW as the consensus? it went through the roof cos its deflationary and its pow system at first it allowed a small economy to happen when geeks mined it by doing useless shit on their PC

Trust me its a game changer when you are rewarded coins for actually doing something useful outside of having your GFX card fan sound like a hoover 24/7

Anyone who has mined PoW coins and has a skyminer will tell you the same. I will never go back, EVER, to supporting useless PoW

>There is never 'not enough'.
What do you call it when your pow shitcoin is being constantly 51% attacked then?

>Bitcoin is proof of useless work, Skycoin distribution method is proof of useful work
Bitcoin PoW provides Decentralization. Sky 'distribution method' doesn't. They are not comparable in any shape or form.

You sound like an autistic 2017 geek who just repeats buzzwords from industry scammers with no ability to think for yourself

Your work on sky doesn't support anything because the system is centralized. The coins can be allocated at whim.
Devs won't accept SKY for payment, that's the most important thing you should know about SKY. The work your doing is worthless to them, and they know best what's behind the scenes.

Why should miners get ALL the coins anyway? That isn't really decentralized. especially with all the mining cartels. Miners get ALL the coins. Then they can do whatever they want with that economic imbalance.

BTC devs have to take wagecucking jobs because every single cent is extracted by miners and never returned to the network as reinvestment

>At least nobody can take away your TRON tokens if you have them on your address, regardless of how much of a scam it is.
I wouldn't take that for granted. need to audit the smartcontract thoroughly to make sure of that. But the project is a scam to begin with, so i wouldn't waste my time.

Sure they can. A developer just needs to make a commit. They have the keys to everything.

Three Chinese miners is not decentralization. PoW is mathematically broken.

What you just posted applies to 95% of the market.

Yeah, a deployed smartcontract is immutable, but the developers can invalidate all those tokens and just say "Hey everyone, we are updateing the smartcontract to this newer version all token holders will be issued the replacement tokens automatically so you don't even have to do anything"

I love the project, but there is a lot of documentation about mining the coin.

But barely information on how to access it, has anyone got some experience with that? Is it good or bad?

I mean connecting to skywire and using the "internet"

you have to go to the github and theres instructions on how to use it as a vpn

Great, I'll give that a try. Thank you very much
