You got scammed.

Cult member detected.

>>11571372
The CEO is a lunatic that will fuck the whole thing up.

>But I am not an NPC so I must buy skycoin.

if you think a late adopter's altcoin is going to make you rich, sorry to say you might be an npc. the only non-npcs in crypto are those that are already millionaires thanks to it.

Synth just did the same thing to PRL as he did to Skycoin a few months ago

>>11571393

>>11571372
How can you hate a scam as hilarious as skycoin? It really is a deserve to lose money situation.

>>11571482
>will

Him and David Sonstebo should have a gig together.

>>11571456
Nothing wrong with being a cult member, as long as its the right cult. Every crypto project is a cult but SKY is the only one rolling out dedicated hardware and actually building something real and physical. But you should stick to your ERC20 tokens with no use-case, I suppose.

>>11571526
What about PRL then
Synth just scamed you there too

>>11571526
Didn't you just say you built the miner yourself?

>>11571554
I and thousands of my fellow cult members have built Skyminers and will soon attach the antennas and start selling cheap wireless services in our local areas. Anyone scanning for a wireless connection will see "Free New York Skycoin Internet Service" etc and will then be directed to buy a Skycoin to generate Coin Hours and get basically free Internet from that point onwards. This gets the word out to hundreds of thousand of NPCs. That's how we convert the masses. That's how we begin to create the new decentralized Internet.

>Skycoin MATTERS
Of course sweety pie

>>11571634
>Coin Hours
I remember. The first time I read of this I sold Sky the same day. Felt good.

Plus only three days to go until McAfee pumps SKY.

medium.com/@bivins1/synth-vs-mcafee-get-ready-to-rumble-at-malta-blockchain-summit-83bd5a5c1560

>>11571693
Oh wow, McAfee.....

>>11571634
How is bandwidth going to be monetized? How will they be able to measure supply/demand.

>>11571666
Coin Hour bank will be open within weeks. Coin Hours will be tradeable for SKY and BNB.

if skycoin is so good
why waste time shilling it?

>>11571666
You're not gonna make it. The inflationary sub currency is a representation of the computational ability of Skywire and as a result makes it feeless in the traditional form.

>>11571729
Could say that about any coin. ETH was shilled pretty heavily here before it took off. Antshares too.

>>11571764

And this, is why I wish I never invested in crypto. Literally nothing but what ifs, but I guess the stock market is too

>>11571729
Most Skycoin threads on /biz/ are posted for the purpsose of attacking the project.

Skycoin is the next Bitcoin

>>11571811
They attack Skycoin because it’s such a threat to most other crypto platforms!

>>11571708
Why is nobody talking about this Binance partnership. This seems like big news, if true.

>>11572142
I know right. It's pretty big news. Got shit tons of coinhours through lottery.

>>11571506
Get rich quick shit is why the market is in a slump. Skycoin's working for a paycheck, the rest of the market is buying lotto tickets on welfare.

How much are the antennas going to cost?

>>11572056
Many such cases. Sad!

>>11571634
Skycoin will explode in public recognition in 2019 with all this visible infrastructure rolling out.

>>11572320
It will depend on the specs, there will be different antennas for different purposes, speed vs distance etc. But I’ve heard $100 to $200 for antennas and $10 to $20 for the hardware wallets.

>>11572320
I think the LoRa ones (boxes in the center) are probably $50.

So when more people use it your bags will be worth more USD? Or are you just aiming for free internet? Where do these antennas actually route users packets to? Some other assholes junk server? Maybe he’ll get lucky and screen some nudes out of the traffic. You pay for an ISP for a reason. It’s not like the internet was easy to fucking build. Like a bunch of retards can get together and create something comparable to billions of dollars of currently established infrastructure. Get real. These things take time. It takes software, hardware, project, server, manufacturing, materials and logistics engineers just to design this shit. Let alone actually make it. Then you have CNC operators, welders, fabricators, painters, machinists, asssemblers, inspectors, supervisors all actually making the components and assemblies designed by the engineers. Our current internet infrastructure is not attainable by some bullshit startup slapping together plastic boxes by the dozens and selling them to idiots. Not to mention the security flaws that would manifest from a supposedly established (can’t even say that yet. Still speculation mind you.) decentralized ISP.
Scam through and through.

>>11573131
>So when more people use it your bags will be worth more USD?

Yes, For most things in crypto and in life, adoption drives up value.

>>11571372

>>11573131
> it’s complicated and won’t happen overnight so it must be a scam
The absolute state of NPCs

>>11573131
>Or are you just aiming for free internet?
For many users, it will be free and even profitable internet. I don't do much with my internet at home except browse 4chan and chat and email and play some console games online. Chances are I'll be getting this service for free and cashing out what I earn on bandwidth I sell to others.

>>11573131
>Where do these antennas actually route users packets to? Some other assholes junk server?
Yes, to other Skywire operators. Some of the data caches on their Skyminers to help facilitate network requests. Like if a user in Siberia requests a cat picture hosted in Florida. The cat picture caches in Siberia and the next guy in Mongolia that requests the cat picture gets his copy from the Siberian node operator. Cuts down on a lot of global trafifc

>>11571372
god you,re so fucking retarded I don't even know how you survived or whi am I wasting my words in here

>thinks onions boys and vegans are bad/pussies
>thinks "kittycash" "obelisk" is cool/manly

seriously you mentally degraded and retarded pieces of filth dont even try to shill your pajeet tier shitcoin properly

>>11573131
>Maybe he’ll get lucky and screen some nudes out of the traffic. You pay for an ISP for a reason.
Not possible. Traffic is heavily encrypted. We currently pay ISPs to sell us internet and in turn they harvest and sell our data as users. Internet is much better as a trustless system.

>>11573131
Actually, if you would grunt and take a minute to push your head back out your asshole, you would notice that the Internet as we know it is currently in a degenerative trend. Percieved strategic threats from the internet have increased tremendously, while the growth of internet adoption has decreased to single digit percentages per annum with more than 50% of the world's population left out. Censorship of ideas on the internet has become the status quo, while what was once illegal surveillance over free people has become codified, and the fates of slaves, accepted. The new internet is coming no matter what happens with Skywire, and the new internet will be built by decentralized grass roots efforts, not by corporations benefitting from the way things already are.

>>11573131
>It’s not like the internet was easy to fucking build. Like a bunch of retards can get together and create something comparable to billions of dollars of currently established infrastructure. Get real.
Pic related is the current internet. Layer upon layer of shit. Some of it works well, but if starting from scratch with decent tech and planning, we'll have something much, much better.

Just like you have a computer with a messenger in your pocket vs sending an email from a workstation in 1992.

>>11573131
>Like a bunch of retards can get together and create something comparable to billions of dollars of currently established infrastructure. Get real. These things take time.

Sure, all those things come in due time. Plus the cost of doing things like this have reduced greatly. Wireless backhaul these days is insanely cheap.

>>11573131

That's why they're sold to intelligent people that are able to exert basic levels of due diligence. Skywire is about to release so your fears will be placated soon friend.

>>11573357
LOL triggered

>>11571526
The scam is selling you hardware that doesn’t do anything retard. The software is non existent.

>>11573722
This. Was curious about this project but after looking into I found out that bandwidth metering does not exist.

>>11573722
>>11573806
Uh, it's in testnet. Mainnet is metering and auto whitelisting.

in its current state the hardware serves as a FREE SOCKS5 VPN

>>11574201
It's pretty fast too.

>>11573722
>>11573806
>the software does not exist
Fucking WTF anon. This crypto shit is all about software you fucking tard. Even the shittiest pajeet token has software. Why do you keep claiming Skycoin has no software? Who even believes this shit?

>>11574220
Especially when all it takes is a five second search on github.

>>11574220
Jesus christ that was painful to read. You're literally too dumb to survive this.
Sorry you discovered crypto in 2018 anon, maybe another year things would have been different.

>>11573722
You are literally retarded. Skycoin has one of the most active githubs in the entire market. They are pushing out software updates constantly. Also have you seen all the third party games and apps already developed on CX? Plus the projects that have already launched on Sky Fiber? No software, roflmao!

>>11574201
Yep, Skyminer working perfectly for me. Fast VPN and earning Skycoin. Not bad for a test net. Other coins literally do fuck all in test net. Can’t wait for main net to get an antenna hooked up and start selling my excess ISP bandwidth.

as transistor density increases this allows more hardware that started off relatively large and expensive industrial grade technology to iterate to smaller cheaper consumer grade tech.

remember, early computers where ones the size of whole rooms and very few in number. over time they got smaller and more powerful until we got the personal computer, then the laptop, then PDAs, then smart phones, then tablets. we also had telephones before we got cellphones which is the perfect parallel to what skycoin is doing.

remember when there were payphones everywhere before cellphones and smartphones became a thing? (depending on how old you are). the very same thing is taking place here where technology is opening up new possibilities and showing us a window with a view of new paradigms on that are far off in the horizon that are slowly but surely getting closer.

for most people its difficult to imagine a new paradigm emerging due to our established points of reference of whats possible today and has been possible for say... the last 10 years. theres gonna be a lot of advancements that take the world by surprise who don't follow technological progress and merely consume.

does the skepticism come from a place thats informed? or a place thats uninformed and lacks the imagination to even conceive such possibilities? skeptics aren't the ones who lead the world. its the imaginative and perceptive visionaries who change the world.

what will you being doing during the next paradigm shift? wondering why the world has become a strange and scary place you can't understand? you prolly know or have met someone who is just like this, and if you havent, it could be you.

>>11574052
>>11574220
>>11574233
Link me anything that suggests bandwidth metering is even close to being implemented then

FYI skycoin has a SOFTWARE defined network (SDN) called skywire. which is what runs on the hardware. this software as mentioned is what allows the nodes to serve as free VPNs currently. and I would think the so called "anons" would be all over such a thing. as well as the potential of this very site being able to monetize its traffic and being able to ditch ads and 4chan passes.

4chan itself has a lot to gain from skycoins progress.

>>11574258
Glad to cause an uppity cunt like yourself a pain in the read.
>>11574537
>muh bandwidth metering
How about you DYOR fucko. Besides, its more straight Skycoin you're getting from running the miner as long as the coinhours reward isn't online yet. Also there might be a glut of coinhours on the market to begin with that would have a negative effect on Skywire earnings. Let em drain that shit off before implementing the metering.

>>11574537
Bandwidth metering isn’t complicated, literally every ISP does it. It will be there in main net, don’t worry.

>>11574537
thats actually something that has to be benchmarked and tooled with during main net when they get the coinhour bank set up. theres a lot of seperate components that have to come together and be tested in their test environments before being being pushed out to the public.

remember this is a new paradigm being established so theres a lot of new ground beign established. crypto as a whole is still in its relative infancy along with what this project intends to accomplish.

when everything is up and running, imagine being able to go door to door to setup your friends and neighbors with 1 node skyminers for a living while also being able to provide other tech related services to them for a designated service fee.

right now its possible to set them up with their own hardware VPN with pending features down the line. this is only the tip of the iceberg for what will be possible for potential small businesses. this is what we're really invested in, not just the coin, but expanded business potential for tech related service providers.

>>11574604
>>11574605
>>11574626
You guys are much more knowledgeable than the avg moonboys so I do believe there's some merit to skywire despite the non answers that were just provided.

>>11574754
yeah i noticed some of the replies were more on the evangelist side than the informative side so i felt i should chime in help even out the tone lol

>>11574754
https://github.com/skycoin/skywire/search?q=bandwidth&unscoped_q=bandwidth
The actual answer is "because Synth said so", lol. He said much of this is in private repos and is rewritten or unreleased after reviewing testnet data.

Metering is core to how the entire thing works though and is kind of basic in terms of programming, so it's definitely there.

Well we will have main net within the next few months, so I guess the fudders will need to find something new to complain about after that.

>>11571508
PRL has nothing to do with Synth or Skycoin.

>>11571372
Hey kids, look how cool I am aint i hip and cool?

>>11576298
Do something cool then.

I have inside info on Skycoin

The tech wont work for another 10+ years. But Synth is a self sabotaging autistic who gets himself scammed.

Basically the projects focus should be to set up Skywire as an improved crypto-TOR network running over the traditional internet and get this going with a large user base (comparable to TOR at least) within the next 3-4 years. Maybe some crypto autists will set up their own DIY antennas in this time since they will be earning coins for running the network and have the incentive to improve it (unlike Bitcoin where every penny possible is siphoned off into the miners pocket)

Then after that there will be sufficient users and tech advances to grow the meshnet organically

But Synth is so autistic he wont listen to this advice and is bruteforcing these antenna shits. Noone can get rid of him since he is bankrolling stuff and whenever there is a problem he just throws 10 BTC at it and expects it to just get sorted.

The best thing for the project is that mainnet gets launched in the next year WITH bandwidth metering and coin distribution programmed for the remaining 75m coins. Then Synth leaves the project and Skywire users take over.

>>11571372
>Jacques Attali litterature
So he is a mad globalist Jew with a visceral hatred for Western civilization?

>>11576484
Nobody is forcing anyone to use an antenna. Nodes will work fine over ISP during main net too. The antennas are just an extra add on for those who want to move off ISP, or who want to set up a wireless hotspot and sell their ISPs excess bandwidth.

>>11576712
>move off their ISP
nigger please, there is nowhere near the density to start antennas rollouts
When there's 1m+ nodes yes and actual websites and apps on Skywire
We are YEARS away from that

>>11576484
I have inside info too. No consensus algorithm = a fucking excel spreadsheet

>>11576777
its not a planned scam, its just synth is a retard
if steve ran the whole thing it would be different

>>11576484
>>11577672
Whats the deal with ShellPay? EVOLABS marketing team had former ShellPay employees and they seem to be defrauding investors under the Sky name. They also fucked several ICO's from what I've heard. How is this even possible?
https://skybox01.com/

>>11577722
its synth being scammed by chinks

>>11576777
But anon, there is a consensus algorithm, it's just not released to the public yet.

>>11577757
of course sweety. It's not that it's broken, sky want's to surprise everyone!

>>11577739
LOL but how do you get repeatedly scammed by the same group of chinks? Now I'm wondering how much of the supply is actually held by Jane and ShellPay

>>11577775
I love surprises. Don't you? Especially surprises that have a consensus method that can't be cloned by other projects.

>>11577783
check the wallets
most of its on binance

>>11571634
Wait a minute, is this shit for real?

>directional antennas for wireless access
>using directional antennas that won't work for wifi frequencies
>"8 board" skyminers that are just 8 orange pi boards

This is such a funny scam...

>>11577861
What are you on about? Wireless backhaul hase been around for a decade. Radio has been around for a century. It's not hard to point two radios at each other.

Eight single board computers allow clusters to be variable in size. You won't find a better deal for the flexibility and value of the computational, ram, and i/o they offer.

How much sky to be a millionaire in 3 years?

>>11578174
Probably like 1500.

>>11577672
Synth isn't a retard he's a pretty good scammer. But he's clearly over his head now, I don't think anyone could have predicted how gullible and greedy crypto idiots would get last year. Now he has a shitload of cash and a shitload of increasingly angry "customers".
And BTW if Steve was any good he'd be working on a real project instead of this stupid shit. He's fucking intern tier.

>>11578266
Synth was rich from BTC years ago.

8,400 nodes operated by "customers" seem more than happy to contribute to testnet for a few Skycoin each month.

remember that there are existing meshnets that exist already in various parts of the US that are generally run by volunteers in their spare time. now imagine those same peeps being able to actually monetize their efforts? yeah thats where skycoin and skywire come into play.

don't forget that other aspect of the prject called Fiber. Fiber will allow anyone to create their own separate blockchain with the option of creating their own coin if they so desire. this will be much desirable for businesses that want their own blockchain but dont want to deal with doing things that require processing thousands or millions of transactions that cost 5 or more dollars on a congested network like ethereum that can only process like 30 transactions for the whole world at a time.

remember when cryptokitties launched and congested the network and drove up the transaction fees? yeah this will not be an issue with Skycoin and Fiber. I imagine many of the shitcoins that exist will try and preserve themselves by switching from erc20 tokens to fiber coins that atleast don't have to share a bottlenecked blockchain with the whole world.

don't expect skycoin to be the only project to pull this off tho, theyll likely be the first, but there will of course be copycats once all the neccesary components are all in place. the risk for supporting this project is relatively low when you dont have to hold any of the coins at all. you just have to build yourself a DIY node for around 100 dollars or less and you start off with a functional, fast, free VPN.

don't forget that having multiple nodes allows you the flexibility to offer a VPN services to those connected to you. the more nodes you have the more coinhours you can make providing said VPN services. this incentivizes the users to hustle to build out their networks locally with friends and neighbors.

they are always building dedicated cheap plug and play nodes as well as hardware wallets to really bring the less tech savvy onboard.

It's a scam.
Don't bother with it and just buy BTC.

Holochain does what skycoin does 10x better. And theyre not nasty scammers like these guys...

>>11579736
Biologychain is dependent on the legacy internet for its foreseeable future, if they can even get their software developed to get them away from being an ERC20 token, lol.

Try to wrap your head around this: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/22/sdn_controller_design_sucks_claim_network_boffins/

>>11578352
>Synth was rich from BTC years ago.
I think Synth is legit but that statement is questionable
if you read back on what he wrote on bitcointalk during SKY's IPO around 2014-2015 he found it it unlikely that bitcoin's price or adoption will grow significantly, in fact he hinted at the opposite. that's why I doubt that he had significant holdings at that time.
of course he might well have /madeit/ well before that, or he might have changed his mind.

>>11579607
Hmmm, are you sure? Why do you think it's a scam? They keep pushing development updates.

>>11580266
Maybe. I'm basing my assumptions off of this https://www.quora.com/profile/Brandon-Smietana/Posts/Graphs-of-Bitcoin-Trends and his seeming "fuck you money" status.

>>11577722
>2011
question is when he liquidated, but sure, I don't think he or his children will ever have monetary problems in their lives (as it should be anyway, he's really fucking smart on his own right, sans btc). question is for how long can he bankroll the project and sustain the $3 bottom.
>>11577722
chinks have a whole SKY-ripoff shitcoin in fact: https://skynet.co/
I do believe that the kidnapping incident really happened, but what concerns me is if the kidnappers got hold of SKY's technical documentation. Synth not keeping a huge stash of btc at home is believable, him not having the latest technical documentation (and kidnappers not wanting it) is much less likely.

>>11580415
I don't see any reason they can't get along fine on hardware sales and SKY distribution. He probably doesn't have to pay much out of pocket.

>>11580266
SYnth was a developer of bitcoin, which is the veryr eaosn why he and a few others started work on skycoin in the first place. while working on bitcoin he of course had to deal with all the the bugs and problems with bitcoin and became aware of the problems that will prevent bitcoin from being more than just the successful crypto currency prototype.

synth is one of the crypto OGs and is one of THE most knowledgeable figures in the space.

also as stated synth is already rich. he doesn't need to waste money to scam peeps out of money lol hes a tech savvy autist that likes to build shit that has a tangible purpose lol

>>11580415
Yeah, this is worrysome too. All it takes is lifting a laptop or hard drive and passing it along before they were arrested.

I assume it's part of the reason there's a push to protect Obelisk from copy/paste.

>>11571372

>>11576749
>there is nowhere near the density to start antennas rollouts
Antennas are being released this year. No need for density, I just need one antenna to set up a hotspot and sell my excess ISP bandwidth. People will buy antennas just to earn Coin Hours as a wifi hotspot, and the mesh will grow from there.

>>11579736
LOL, holochain is an ERC20 token. It doesn’t even have its own blockchain, and holoports don’t exist, all we’ve seen are CGI mockups. They are years behind Skycoin.

Indeed. I think a lot of people forget that Skywire is just one of many projects running on Skycoin Fiber blockchains.

There is no easier way to scam people. It's not even illegal! Just promise some impossibly ambitious project, collect money in advance and shrug when it fails.
Or never even admit when it fails! Just keep treading water between bullruns and a fresh new batch of retards will be along again.

2019 will seperate the wheat from the chaff. The money will flow into real infrastructure projects like Skycoin, and drain away from ERC20 scamtokens and vapourware shitcoins. Especially institutional money which will want to see its investments backed by something tangible.

>>11584499
> There is no easier way to scam people
Of course there is, it’s what the shitcoins do, they take half an hour to create an ERC20 token, a few days to publish a fancy website and “white paper” and then they flog it to gullible fools like you.

>>11584573
Shitcoins come and go.
It's not often you find a project that has had 3 successful fundraisers across 5 years and still doesn't have even the outline of a consensus method. Truly outstanding scamming.

>>11584616
uh dude, Sky has a consensus, it’s called obelisk and its a few months away from launching
just cos it’s not main net yet doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist lol they’re focusing on Skywire first
what will you switch your fud too after obelisk goes live ?
oh and the fact sky has been around 7 years basically proves it’s not a shitcoin, shitcoins don’t last more than a year or 2

>>11584616
so what youre saying is anything that anything doesnt show instant results is a scam then?

>>11584530
Why would financial institutions want to use skyminers? What is so appealing about a decentralised internet? The only people who don't want to use ISP's are pedos and other criminals.

technology is getting better and cheaper, internet service is NOT getting better or cheaper. ISPs were given millions of dollars of TAX DOLLARS to expand their networks. due to loopholes in contracts they took the money but didnt upgrade their markets.

if youre a tax payer you should be PISSED about this. this is about getting a service that doesnt incentive the gatekeepers to let their services stagnate and charge more for less for quarterly profit gains.

anyone who has an interest in the progress in technology have a stake in getting rid of or sidestepping barriers to progress. we have tech being developed that allows the people to ostracize those who wish to oppose the peoples will or who wish to place artificial barriers for a better quality in our lives. they pass laws that prevents any competition in the ISP service, you should NOT be ok with this.

we have an incentive to get rid of any large institutions that dont serve its users. this si the market telling big ISPs to go fuck themselves, you can stay in this shitty relationship if you want, the rest of us will be moving on to greener pastures.

The consensus algorithm is called Obelisk. Obelisk launch is the next cab off the ranks after Skywire mainnet. You can learn about Obelisk at this link, but it might be a bit complex for you to understand fully if you’re an NPC, which I assume you are.

Are you retarded? (serious question).

>>11584872
Obelisk doesn’t exist. It will never be released. You’ve been scammed senpai.

>>11584763
> Why would financial institutions want to use skyminers?
Stupid question. Institutions will want their own blockchain, which they can get on Skycoin Fiber but not on ETH or EOS or any other platform. And they’ll want to invest in Skycoin too because it’s backed by real infrastructure and can handle real-world business applications.

Prove it.

Your friends are happy with facebook and reddit and google fantasy world with cnn and msnbc and fox television, colorful and friendly faces reassuring them of their sanity. They do not belong on the board.
You are arguing on the side of idiot degenerates, because you are a depressed, physically deformed drug abuser who often fantasizes about commiting mass murder in public. It is not a matter of controversy that current consensus algorithms are insufficient to bring cryptocurrency to it's potential as a catalyst for a new industrial revolution. The human populations that work toward this goal are not motivated by myopic self-centered impulses, and are capable of working together. The next generation consensus algorithm is incentivized by a desire to support an ecosystem, practically free to operate, and massively scalable and decentralized. This will exist whether or not the Skycoin team suceeds in developing the first example of it. This new technology will be shared and implemented by all projects that have not developed a vested interest in preserving the stagnating status quo.

>>11584872
I'm not reading that lol you fucking brainlet.
What the fuck even is that shit?
The devs don't even claim it exists dummy!
They claim they're working on some magic special amazing consensus algo that will be super amazing in every single way.
Except it doesn't exist and it will never exist.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

Each line is equisite, faganon.

The consensus algorithm will exist, this is guaranteed. And it is most likely to be developed first by the Skycoin team because they are dedicated to this goal.

>>11584785
They kept saying the same thing to your autistic father yet here you are.

>>11584919
Sure it will, after Skywire.

The kinds of crypto projects that are afraid of Obelisk.
>Established projects like Bitcoin and Ethereum that can't adapt.
>Centralized scams looking to prostitute themselves to the establishment.
>Fly-by-night scam ICOs that are just looking to smash and grab the industry.
Obelisk is coming. There is no way to stop it short of apocalypse. There are projects that have no vested interest to prevent innovation Skycoin is but one of them. Obelisk is the most disruptive technology yet. No wonder you paid shills are so afraid of it.

>>11584949
>proving a negative

The onus is on you to prove it exists senpai

>>11585238
>centralised scams

Without consensus Skycoin is literally a centralised scam. There will never be consensus. Obelisk doesn’t exist and never will.

>>11571708
I'm racking up my coin hours bb, plus I'm all for a decentralized internet

>>11585249
>just gets done proving it will exist
>prove it exists
It doesn't fucking exist until it is up and running, but since i just got done proving it WILL exist, come up with a relevant argument maggot.

>>11585236
Except I didn't claim to be a troll.
I'm stating facts, and you're getting really mad.
>>11585238
>Obelisk is coming.
Oh I thought it was already here? Didn't one of you idiots post some gay steem post about how amazing and existent it already is, like 10 posts ago? Fucking lol

>>11585263
No, Skycoin is not a centralized scam you dumb cunt. To detect centralized scams, you need to pay attention to where the demand for centralized scams comes from.

>>11585280
>will never happen
>absolutely buttblasted
>really mad

Hmm, you might be ESL and don't realize that you're overstating and drawing absolute statements.

>>11585263
Obelisk exists, it's just not released.

You guys really are worried about Obelisk. Are you afraid that feeless consensus kill your profits from PoW fees?

>>11585279
How did you prove it will exist? By posting a 5 month old article written by Skycoin claiming it will exist?

>>11584994
>>11585280
>I'm not reading that lol you fucking brainlet.
>telling me what is written in the article
Either way you are a lying piece of shit.

>>11585324
By my words written in this thread. It is your fault if you cannot comprehend, and you deserve to remain poor.

>>11585292
The demand comes from people like you who are emotionally invested in centralised scams like Skycoin. Without consensus Skycoin is centralised. If consensus is ever realised I’ll buy Sky. It never will be though.

>>11577861
>just 8 orange pi boards
Find something with a better performance/cost ratio for computational ability then

>>11585349
No. The demand for centralized scams comes from the traditional establishment, who are invested in the old way of doing things. They will be able to retain their power in this world by competing with legit cryptocurrencies via these centralized scams.

>>11585371
Yeah, but Skycoin isn't centralized after Obelisk is finished.

>>11585434
Yea, i was explaining to the brainlet what kinds of projects are afraid of, or will be unable to make use of Obelisk technology.
>Established projects like Bitcoin and Ethereum that can't adapt.
>Centralized scams looking to prostitute themselves to the establishment.
>Fly-by-night scam ICOs that are just looking to smash and grab the industry.
And by exclusion, which projects are actually legitimately pursuing innovation.

>>11571693
I remember when McAfee ran for President in 2016. But anyways, what's with this Skycoin thing?

>>11585520
Oh, my bad. Too many angsty daytraders in this thread whinging about it still being under wraps.

>>11585780
>under wraps
Lol it's so "under wraps" the devs haven't even started it.

>>11585831
Sure they have. Don't be lazy.

Obelisk is coming. So far the Skycoin team has delivered on everything it promised. I remember anons here saying Skyminers would never be delivered, and then that nobody would ever earn anything by running a miner, and then that antennas would never be created. Yet SKY has delivered on everything. Yes, in some cases there have been delays but such is every major project. Have no doubt, Obelisk is coming and it wil BTFO all other consensus algos.

Best way to buy? I need a wallet to get sky hours right?

>>11571372
what the hell is a skycoin?

>>11586278
Buy on Binance and transfer to your wallet to earn coin hours. If you are lucky you might get a big chunk of Coin Hours from Binance. 25% of their CH are sent to the destination wallet.

>>11586742
Got 1million off a twelve sky transfer the other day, lol

>>11586867
Nice. It will be interesting to see the monetary value placed on CH when the Coin Hours Bank opens in a few weeks. I also have a few million, mostly received from small Binance withdrawals.

stfu with this shitcoin. xrp is the future

>>11584763
Actually big institutions do want it

It's a small market now but in a few years you will have big corporates paying google for the search terms their rival employees are using etc

It happens now. Google and facebook know everything about you. Your search terms both at home and work will reveal sensitive information about the company
Once this sort of stuff becomes widely realised, big companies will all be demanding VPNs etc that are guaranteed by the tech rather than some (((small print)))

>>11588036
XRP has a good future too, but it doesn’t compete with Skycoin

>>11585905
Link plz. I get the feeling none of these commits are major

Nah mate it's just vaporware
