There have been several people who pop up in chat on mcxNOW.com that say they'd help with various languages. It's a lot of work to organize and edit all that, unless you're fluent in both of the languages in the pair.
I'm personally not able to confirm that someone's even translating correctly, so that's usually a road block for me to do too much translating in apps/sites I do. I know of services you can hire to do this stuff, but it's hard to get good quality writers in languages I can understand, much less ones that I don't.
I knew some guys who ran companies for localizing video games.. guess I could reach out to them if they're still operating. Those contacts are a bit old.
I consider myself to be a "polyglot" in that I spend a lot of my time learning and practicing my (so far) 10 languages, so it is very easy for me to track down translators whom I trust
I am not sure if ST wants us to translate forum content for him, but I am happy to write a bunch of articles for here/JS dot com and have them translated so that we can reach others. If RS has content he wants translated, that is also not a problem either.

MNC = crashes and recovers in 5 days due to community effort in pumping/taking risk
Dow Jones = crashes and recovers in 5 years due to federal government pumping/taking risk on taxpayer behalf
LOL
(I took the average MNC price because it isn't fair to expect a coin with 10s of supporters to compete with the world's major economic index...)

I'm heading into another thick patch of work, but it looks like we're on another up-swing. Of course, all the alts are moving up after the big BTC bump past $162-ish did the usual number on all the alts.
I'm a wee bit unhappy that I missed out on getting some more MNC a bit lower, but I'll give that up to see us pushing up into the mid .002's again.
Your wish was someone's command! Just a few days after the dump, we're right back where we started
not even the Dow Jones could say the same about 2008-2013! -
I further the sentiment that CPU mining isn't profitable unless you aren't paying for electricity. This is because CPUs have very very little RAM inside of them compared to GPUs, which have up to 3GB of RAM. RAM is incredibly important in the scrypt algorithm compared to Bitcoin's SHA256.
Just curious- what is keeping people from buying GPUs? I'm willing to sell some for MNC/fiat/BTC!
-
Haha!! I figured I'd be first to the punch of "thread necro much?" talk.
It is crazy how fast some of this stuff goes out of date, though. Cryptos move speedy-fast.
Not to further necro an off-topic thread but, 2 weeks ago feels like an ETERNITY ago to me!! I've gone from dipping my toe into the alt market to being a full fledged member that is learning a ton about all aspects of the cryptocoin industry in just 14 days.
I hope I will have even more to say another 14 days from now.

What are the mechanics behind this? What IP addresses are we connecting to, and how does it affect our computers? I am very interested in understanding this because if there is little drawback to it, I don't understand why every coin out there doesn't have millions of nodes!

A mincoin faucet would be a great idea! It's the only way for non miners to get any coins. More people having MNC is critical!
Another quick way to get a LARGE (!) amount of MNC is to make a service or product to be sold to people who currently hold MNC! Since the coin is currently undervalued, you could risk say $10-$20 on making and shipping a product to someone. If MNC ever doubles or triples in value, you just made 40-60 USD on a very small investment
However, I too support the idea of a mincoin faucet, as I once ran litefaucet for 2 months back in March. Hopefully this new faucet, whoever makes it, will last longer!

MC will be instantly convertible to any of the currencies/commodities listed on the exchange, so I have had in my head that everything on the exchange will maybe even just go straight to MC and then you can go from MC->mcxFEE if you want.. or any other combination.
...I need to hone my vocabulary on how MC will work and what RealSolid's current plans/thoughts are. I know from an e-commerce perspective, you can accept MicroCash as payment, but if the user doesn't have MC, but say, MNC, the MicroCash system would allow for an instant conversion of your MNC to MC through the mcxNOW exchange and/or the MC client(?).
Phew! Too many acronyms in one paragraph.
Anyway, MicroCash is very flexible (and reportedly, fast) and I think that it could be very viable to store your long-term wealth in MNC on the exchange (earning interest), and then quickly convert it over to other pairs as needed.
(I may have veered way off topic here. Maybe I better drink another coffee.)
Not calling you out on anything, but I remember speaking to RS a few days ago about MC being exchangeable with any other coin on mcxNOW from day one and he replied "not immediately, but if MC launch is successful, definitely".
I trust RS but I am hoping to have a good understanding of the tech he is making so that before it launches, I will be able to understand how he processes so many payments so quickly without the need for a block chain.

I've been wanting to do some hard good sales via crypto, but I haven't thought out how to handle shipping/address issues. People who use cryptos to buy stuff are a bit different crowd, I guess... aren't they? I'd imagine it would be harder to do shipping to people who don't want you to know their address. Heh.
Maybe I should be asking if crypto-buyers are really anything much different for retail sales of mainstream goods. Maybe it's just a non-issue.
I made a reply in another thread about this same topic, but I can probably expand a little more here.
In my opinion, the only thing keeping from sharing their physical address, which is presumably at or close to where they live, is how much they trust the website owners with their info. Obviously it depends on how low of a profile they need/want to have in their own personal lives, but the average cryptocoiner probably would give their address if the following criteria were met:
1) Great, reliable, affordable service that fulfills a need/desire.
2) Hard to find similar quality services elsewhere.
3) The person(s) providing that service encrypted their data, behaved respectfully and etc online.
I can't really think of why someone would give carte blanche trust to Silk Road but not to someone that aims to make a respectful attempt at furthering the community

And of course, now that Congress worked for a few days, it is time for them to go on vacation!! Did you see all the pats on the back they gave themselves?
Sad really

I've got way more experience and interest in making games when I create stuff, but I might just use this as a reason to dig into more non-game dev.
...not this month, mind you.
(or next, likely)I do have some plans for apps that are not games, so maybe a little project like this would be a great exercise if nobody has made it yet by the time I have a window open for new projects.
Much adoration and money will be due unto you hahaha.
Please make an awesome gui if you do find the time!

Thanks for the input guys! Feel free to use any of this information to make more content for new users. I think it's no coincidence that Mincoin has already returned to its value a few days ago while other coins are down 100%. It shows where the pumps and dumps are...
-
I think there is a big sect of the crypto industry that is paranoid about anyone knowing their address or location. That is why I think my giftcard idea would be a viable one, because they could at least use a PO box or redeem them online.
However, I feel there is an equally large sect of cryptocoiners that would happily visit a brick and mortar shop, or would be comfortable giving their address to a party they could trust.
Let me know what you put together!
-
I found myself at that site a while back. There really is a wealth of info there.
I currently don't have enough reason to dig through more of that since I'm not in the market for "fun research" at the moment. However, thanks for the reminder.
Poor necom
I know how it feels to have to choose between fun and not fun research... Eventually there came a breaking point, and I chose "fun only" and promptly left my dreams of being an academic behind lol. -
Was in the woods during the alt purge and now ive been kicked off the rich list
You will all pay, new Mincoiners!!!JK welcome to club "to the moon"
BTW, who is the 100 btc whale who is dominating the orderbook?
I think Mincoin is propped up by an interesting community of whales who are all hoarding and service oriented. By combining the specs of the coin (fast blocks, VERY little inflation), along with a community that has no intention of dumping what little coins there are, you get a coin worth using and supporting.
It is important to identify whales though, so when someone is playing around with 5% of the total coins mined so far, it is interesting to guess who they might be and if they want to communicate with us.

Will add more organization to this topic later.
Here is my reposted video featuring the DE5 Net, a development kit from Terasic that has an Altera Stratix V as its FPGA.
The price tag for the chip and board is 8-9k USD, and the Quartus II software necessary to write to the Stratix V is 4000 for a subscription.
However, there are a few things that make me think this is still probably worth the price:
1) I truly believe with a few upgrades to the qdrii sram and improvements in code, it could handle anywhere from 15-40 MH. The Stratix V is certainly equipped to do it, it's a question of how upgradeable the qdrii sram is.
2) It runs on like 30w electricity and is portable in a briefcase.
3) the cost of 40 GPUs, 5-6 motherboards and PSUs, 15kw of electricity etc.. makes GPU mining wasteful and expensive
4) This FPGA dev kit likely has resale value in high frequency trading markets.

So basically if we are in the states the quickest and easiest way to buy/sell bitcoin is coinbase.com? Seems like it at this point. I really hope that option isn't lost one day 0_o
I think there is Bitstamp as well? I've always stuck with Localbitcoins and craigslist tbh
-
Agreed. I'd say currently the 0.002+ price is pretty much set (unless there is a MASSIVE) dump. Overall, this is one of the better coins to hold atm.
Your massive dump came, but I don't think prices will stay this low for long now that US govt wont default and Baidu doesn't really change the game very much!
Once there are too many businesses accepting BTC, people will come to altcoins like they did Bitcoin in 2012.

I find it interesting that this happens the same day or day after sr gets shut down finally.
I do remember speculating that the FBI supoena'd bitcointalk to gain access to DPR's accounts. If they have the legal authority to supoena a foreign VPN, then they likely have the power to supoena bitcointalk (and if they refused to talk about it, then that's a problem...)

I'm a slightly bigger fan of having some sort of merchant/goods service rather than gambling/dice sites for something like MinCoin. I don't like the thought of gambling away my two coins per block
What goods would you like to see? You should take a look at my somewhat detailed giftcard proposal in the Economy section. That is the easiest way I feel for people to buy virtually any good with MNC without someone having to take the risk of declaring a brick and mortar shop or online business
-
I like this post. I'd like to put togethor a thread for noob traders explaining how not to get caught up in the trollbox manipulation lol
Let me know if you would like to collaborate as I have just earned 4 days off from work
-
The title of this thread made me LOL! People should not doubt the Dark Horse. Very nice to come back after being gone for a week and see the current charts.
These current prices are killing me, I wish I had the courage to sell high and buy low, but I am too good at hoarding instead...
Considering some alts have dipped 1000% off their highs, I think MNC at 18 is pretty respectable though

Should have sold at 29 and bought in at 16

Ideas on the horizon (beginning mid December)
Giftcards (amazon, newegg, restaurants like fridays, point of sale big box stores)
FPGA host mining credits (to support the network, build interest in further development of my FPGA skills, and obviously mine coins without any overhead)
I'm primarily interested in selling goods that have no overhead (shipping, production costs) behind them. But of course, MNC holders should always welcome those who take those risks to prop up the coin!
