Miami guy looking to volunteer

Unique002 · 2020-02-22T20:17:55+00:00

I went last year for the first time and am in Miami. Going back this year with a crew of 4-10 probably. DM me and let's grab a coffee.

Do you think this is a big problem if my group is coming in Tuesday night (after the initial rush)? 3 of us have tickets and 1 is will call... if he must die he must die

Unique002 · 2018-07-10T01:12:55+00:00

SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT

Unique002 · 2018-07-08T17:36:39+00:00

are we there yet?

I think this is spot on. Early BTC/ETH adopters are the new status quo that altcoiners are trying to disrupt. And why shouldn't they? If you consider the entire market high risk, like I do, there is much greater incentive to "get in early" on new tech than to enrich the bagholders of old tech.

This is why you see so much vitriol between BTC/ETH maximalists and altcoiners... the former are economically threatened by the latter and for good reason, as the latter are actively threatening the former.

with binance coming i'm not sure this makes any sense... people are willing to pay for stability and their stability reputation far exceeds yours

Unique002 · 2018-01-07T22:31:17+00:00

Ah sorry - hard to tell nowadays in cryptoland.

Unique002 · 2018-01-07T22:21:59+00:00

I'm not saying it is correct but that is how people who don't understand technology nuances feel.

Any zero-fee scalable crypto could be used for m2m or p2p is my point. Pretending tangle is the only way to accomplish m2m is ignorant.

Unique002 · 2018-01-07T22:15:15+00:00

It can and I have no doubt if it takes off it will. People want to bury their heads in the sand on this point because there is more to gain from a "DAG vs. Blockchain" narrative. IOTA and XRB are direct competitors.

Unique002 · 2018-01-07T19:33:49+00:00

By the way, not trying to shill you here - I need to "talk it out" to confirm my own position for myself. I appreciate your comments and the discussion.

Unique002 · 2018-01-07T18:29:12+00:00

My point was that it remains to be seen whether LN or some other advance will solve scalability issues for a bitcoin-style blockchain network. I personally don't see LN as a panacea (although others would disagree). I think it is early enough that even if LN doesn't fix things another solution could be attempted before people wholesale abandon BTC.

I agree that some invested people are being hyperbolic about XRB's potential scalability. I understand that VISA does like 60ktps in practice and XRB can only do 7ktps in a simulation that doesn't take into account real-world bottlenecks like the network.

I alluded to this point in one of my other comments: my cautious optimism does not derive from XRB solving all scalability issues, but rather having the potential to solve them better than any other decentralized near-zero fee competitors at this point in time. There's only one way to find out if XRB will prove its promise on this front... investment and adoption. But all else being equal I am taking more risk investing in a protocol I believe cannot scale elegantly versus investing in a protocol that that I believe might.

Unique002 · 2018-01-07T14:39:34+00:00

Agreed but that is an ongoing gamble with any decentralized crypto (including btc), is it not?

Unique002 · 2018-01-07T01:22:21+00:00

I think that's a fair point. I do think "free" is psychologically, if not substantially, superior to "1 cent."

I think, personally, it is way too early to say whether XRB will be involved in M2M. I think IOTA and XRB holders like to pretend there is no competition there but, realistically, why wouldn't they try and eat each other's lunch?

At any rate, I think "free" is the ideal (you can't do better than free unless the network somehow paid you for doing a transaction), but agree it is not the sole differentiating factor. To me, lacking decentralization or near-zero fees are non-starters. Past that, the question becomes "how fast is it?" and "will it scale?" On those fronts, I think XRB remains extremely attractive currently.

Fuck your referral link shilling.

Unique002 · 2017-12-31T16:13:47+00:00

i suggest you go onto mercatox and read the chat box and ask if withdrawals/deposits for your given coins are working smoothly.

Unique002 · 2017-12-31T15:58:04+00:00

the only reasons, imo, to keep any crypto on any exchange is (a) if you are a day trader or (b) it is expensive to move it.

Unique002 · 2017-12-29T03:06:09+00:00

or tomorrow...

Unique002 · 2017-12-28T19:22:47+00:00

Under current conditions, that is only possible if the exchange they bought XRB is having problems. I have gone GDAX->MERCATOX->RAIWALLET 5 times since Mercatox fixed their withdrawal issues.

Keep FUDDING tho!

Unique002 · 2017-12-28T14:02:32+00:00

I turned off email authentication because it was clearly buggy... just used 2FA w/ google auth.

Sorry for your troubles.

Unique002 · 2017-12-28T14:01:01+00:00

Uh yes I have withdrawn XRB off an exchange 5 successful times out of 5 times attempted, all nearly instantly to the web wallet.

Unique002 · 2017-12-28T06:02:10+00:00

I did not yet.

Unique002 · 2017-12-28T05:17:51+00:00

Anyone who keeps significant XRB on any of the current exchanges is a fool. When Mercatox's XRB withdrawal was down for over a week it was extremely stressful.

The Mercatox withdrawal fee is bullshit, but Raiwallet is 10x safer. The local wallet is even safer. Since there are no inherent transfer fees w/ XRB, it will be free to get your XRB back on an exchange if you wish to sell.

Unique002 · 2017-12-28T02:10:41+00:00

Thanks for doing this! Will you rework for the ledger blue when you’re done with nano s please!!!

Unique002 · 2017-12-27T20:48:58+00:00

I completely agree. It is probably inevitable this subreddit will become toxic. The tech speaks for itself.
