Controversial posts made by alowberg

I am a newbe here to learn about cryptocurency, but do not gamble, I think it is immoral.

I am newbe trying to learn. My first reaction is to say mining is ridiculous, and comes off as a ponzy scheme–not good for average consumer of other goods and services.

perhaps my presents here will help take feathercoin in a new direction where they build a software so people like me can use to create my own currency for my business. None exists yet, but that should change and I hope feathercoin is the community that does it.

wrapper, I am going to let my comments stand, I do not like being maligned or my intentions misrepresented. I said I would start a new thread. I ought to be able to defend myself. I made my intentions very clear. I am sorry if I unintentionally got off topic, but starting a new thread as you suggest seems to be the answer, if it is not then we are done.

@AcidD
That is a very good question, but gold is a real substance. I would like to by software that would allow me to build my own currency for my own community of customers, but I do not see there is any such software like that available yet??
But I want a currency that has its value based on real substance, like Americas old gold standard, or like Sadex cryptocurrency which I think is perfect.

@AcidD
yes, that is so, but it is about consumer confidence. Now if I were to tell my customers I am going to implement a fiat cryptocurrency rather than basing it on the actual value of your and my real goods and services, which do you think they would chose, and I want my cryptocurrency to be a real incentive to do business with me. just trying to think of the best form of cryptocurrency for my business that is all, and it has already been invented (Sardex) , I just do not know how to get it. I just think feathercoin needs to take a look at it and perhaps incorporate some of its features and make them available to people like me, people who will never use bitcoin and any such thing like it.

Wrapper, thank you for your patients with me, I have a lot to learn. I have studied block chain a little and see how that provides accountability. Right after I make this post I am going to study up on Github which I am unfamiliar with.
Back to Sardex, I like that the value conferred on members must be paid back, either through making a profit in ones business, or I suppose one would have to sell other assets to make good their liability. This is where Sardex seems to be like the old gold standard.
But here is what you may find interesting. I am a bit of an historian, and I like studying the history of trade routes and old currency, either beaver pelts in American, salt in India, or silk in the biggest, and greatest, and most prosperous trade route in history, the Silk Road. I am looking for a cryptocurrency to act like and replace one of these actual commodities and I want to package it (promote it) and use it in the same way. I am seeking to promote my whole business in historical terms, I think the time is right. Even the slogan of my business says a lot: The Future Is Back. I just do not want to go in any direction that seems to be a complete departure from the most successful trading methods the world has ever known. We left all that to go in a fiat way that makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. The one thing I think we can eliminate is the danger. I mean trade routes were the place of many brutal robberies. Many died just cutting paths from one place to another. We can I believe establish new trade routes with new commodity backed crptocurrency with out the these dangers.
I still do not like the cryptocurrency mining idea. My idea is, if you have a product and you are one of my trading partners, and if you are willing to put up your product as lets say a form or collateral, they you are welcome to buy and buy or sell using my crptocurrency, with me or with any of my trading partners up to the limit of your credit. Or you could just put money in your account to cover the use of our cryptocurrency.

wrapper, I make traditional style wood products with some modern innovations. But the bigger plan is to start a real trading post where I can use my products as currency like old time. I will trade in fiat cash also. But one of the main features is, I want to establish real trade routes, also like old time. But the one piece that I have not put together yet is form or currency that all my trade partners can agree on and use. I am thinking a crypto currency is the answer. There is a lot more to it, but this is the jist.

wrapper, Sardex is a crypto currency

@wrapper
Thanks wrapper, I have a lot to learn, but what I bring to the table is no bias. I like the concept of Sardex, i just think some elements of feather could complement it nicely, and I still think whoever comes up with software so brick and mortar, like myself, can buy to start my own currency would be a run a way hit. The soft ware would need fields that one could customize, like what is the name you ones currency, monthly doos to use the the currency, things like that. Someone needs to figure out how to make domestic private currency digital. With out looking it up, I think Massachusetts has one called Bircshire or something like that. Anyway I am here to learn, and tell people what sounds good to me and what does not. I don’t like mining so I never got involved with bitcoin and that may be the same reason most people do not get involved with it. It is fun for tech savy people, but they are having a hard time selling it to people who actually want to use cyber currency.

Sorry wrapper, I thought I was just responding to comments. I did sign up for github. I will try starting a new topic. Might take me a day. Thanks
