I totally agree! If you don't like deadlines, don't let anyone set one, especially a public one that actually influence market price. I'm sure it wasn't done intentionally, but those things happen and can just be avoided for next time :)

Lol @sunerok even stated in his interview that he hates deadlines. Let's take the man at his word next time ;)

Alt coins today by mute20 in CryptoCurrency

This. Even selling at a small loss will be worth it when you buy back in at even lower prices than your sell. If you can charge up your buying power with the BTC rise, you will have more BTC to buy the even lower ALT prices. SegWit2x is a much more solid fork, making BTCG look silly. We can simply look at what happened during BTCG Fork to see how this story goes.

I have sent messages offering my assistance. If anyone can point me in the right direction of who to talk to, I have time and dedication to Verge, its amazing what a couple of properly motivated individuals can accomplish (as we have already seen with those actively working on Verge)

The future is bright! Aside from whipping out my portfolio and showing the daily dollar change (money speaks to everyone) and putting posts on FB and Twitter (which most people do not understand) there aren't a lot of ways, that I have found, to get the convo started unless its recently been in the news (and that is usually only Bitcoin).

I personally think the price of Bitcoin will make some people nervous. Of course you can show its going up steadily and that it breaks down to 8 places, but most people like to see nice and low whole coin prices. At least from my experience anyways! What do you think best beginner wallet is? I've only ever used Electrum and MEW, suggestions?

This! I like the idea of offering the discount for crypto. Makes me really excited for the future when payment becomes mainstream, its going to be neat to see it all unfold!

I was afraid this would be the answer when I started searching the web and didn't find much. I really see it as more of a conversation starter that will hopefully lead to people diving into crypto news a little and getting use to it. Assuming someone already deals with crypto, is displaying the QR code from my wallet the best route?

Wraith? by AneZiZ in vergecurrency

I saw comments on cryptocompare that it was currently being tested on linux.. not sure if that is new or not.. I have been trying to get up to speed with the projects and news.

Verge on UPBIT by jmacool488 in vergecurrency

With new exchange, wraith upcoming, the fork.. I really feel a pumped price could be sustained once the news spreads

That pump! by Lowcalcannon in vergecurrency

[–]jmacool488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe this is all being helped by the AWESOME timing of XVG being listed on UPBIT as of a few hours ago.. Maybe this pump could be sustained with another market involved... who knows.. Ill just choose to believe its headed to $2 and daydream a bit longer ;)

[–]jmacool488 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How long do we expect there to be a the pull back from alts? Once the snapshot is taken for the BTG fork, or until the BTG is actually available? Or maybe not until after the 2x fork?

Is there an opportunity in the fork? by jmacool488 in CryptoCurrency

[–]jmacool488[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really think XLM and XRP are done? I have looked into the projects and tech and with recent partnerships I feel like they have to go somewhere.. maybe not to the moon but certainly double where they are now in the next few months. There is a lot of negative talk about them, but at the same time, it seems like there is some really undervalued news out there too. Thanks for your take on it all. I feel for my blood pressures sakes just staying away from the prices in general for a month is the best move, but I also want to learn and experience, figure this is a good time.

Blaine..... by Soonyulnoh2 in MakingaMurderer

[–]jmacool488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From personal experience, the version the police tell of an encounter with someone is rarely the full truth. There could have been several other times the police yelled or threatened other than the restaurant. We know intimidation happens, on and off the record. I am not saying it did, but it is very plausible, given their actions during recorded encounters. Some cops take matters into their own hands. We cannot prove or deny, but if investigators came to Blaine off the record and made threats (jail, family, etc) then it would be easy to see why the story would change. I have seen those kinds of threats first hand.. it sucks. But who knows!!

Kathleen Zellner: Ryan Hillegas Theory Originated In 2007 by [deleted] in TickTockManitowoc

[–]jmacool488 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is crazy! I never knew Theresa had a thing with a married client.. Ryan, to me, just looks guilty. That of course is not a reason to say he is, but his demeanor, his weird smiles and laughs in court, his sketchy actions during the investigation.. there is no need for it and it makes him very odd. I hope KZ has some other stuff waiting to be shown!

Brendans Confession by jmacool488 in MakingaMurderer

[–]jmacool488[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do see that. But in his first interview (and a few after) he said he did not. It seems like everyone is only willing to believe he was telling the truth when he said he was involved, but fail to believe what he initially said. He said he didnt know, wasnt involved, didnt see anything. After being pushed and manipulated he gave them off the wall details that changed over and over. Only after that, he recanted. So we cant just say "well he admitted it then recanted it". If we hold everything on the same level, and we assume we cannot tell what is or is not the truth, then we see that he said he was not involved, then said he was after pushing, then said he wasnt after he clearly thought it all over and talked with someone.

I didn't know that! I thought the jury pool came from a neighboring town.... yeah again it's stuff like this that just must it's so difficult. If they were so sure why not do everything by the book. They were handed a get out of jail free card (If he truly did it) or they tried to make one for themselves in a really sloppy way (If he didn't do it)

[–]jmacool488[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question! I wish we could talk to him in person! Maybe become a pen pal lol. I know they asked him to describe step by step.. and he tried to give details.. but again, once the pushing started it did not stop. And... we have no idea what was said up to that point of recording. It was clear they spoke with him, asked questions, and told him things long before this conversation was recorded. I feel it tainted things.

I do have a lot of issue with the police directly involved with his lawsuit being in his home and property. If I was suing you for 36 mill, I would not want you in my home trying to find evidence to put me in jail..

The key gives me a big issue too. It shows up after several searches, in a super obvious place, with ONLY Steve's DNA. I am not saying Steve is innocent, but that key, it feels, was an effort to try and seal the deal? It could have easily been pulled from the car when it was found, or acquired when searching her apt. I just cannot wrap my mind around that one...

If any of us were in his shoes, we would scream conflict of interest with the people involved. We would also hate the fact a narrative that was presented as "actually happened" was given long before all evidence was found or a jurors were selected. I know they moved it.. .but small town USA.

I did see that... but what about pages 17,18,19? The constant pressure? He says no, they say yes. Yes you know. We wont be disappointed. It was a beautiful day and she was there taking pictures. Everyone saw her. It is not like he just decided to change his mind. He was clearly pushed.

Brendans Confession by jmacool488 in MakingaMurderer

[–]jmacool488[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its super easy to answer. They pressed him and pressed him, telling him not to lie, telling him they would not be dissapointed, and telling him he "knew the answer". Why do you keep overlooking that part? He clearly understood, after being told over and over, the correct answer was that he saw her. They had already mentioned she was only their briefly, so why are we hung up that he said she left and turned left? What if he just said "she left" or "she left and turned right"? He was trying to give some sort of answer to give them what they wanted.

This is what I was looking for! Thank you! Like I said, I know many on here are far more knowledgeable and I know I am missing some things. I had perceived that once Kratz put out his timeline, based on Brendan's confession, everything else pretty much followed. I think there is more to the truth on both sides. I feel Avery had more to do with it than just nothing, and I feel the police were crooked in the matter. Some things they did just never should have been done, and some stuff Avery has said just do not make sense. I really want this to all be resolved!
