This is a bizarre attitude. By burning BTC, any investor in XCP is effectively making BTC scarce, and therefore is potentially making all other BTC worth a little bit more. If you don't believe XCP is worth anything, think of investing in it as a voluntary "tax" "donation" to help out *all* other BTC investors, not a destruction of real value.

So??, I had been involved in bitcoin in since price was a 0.9 cents @ new liberty exchange, believe me there was enough guys laughing when price hit $1.. chomping at the bit to call it a bubble and ridiculing the notion of people paying $1 for a wow tokens. string of 1's and 0's- they were writing about how they hope all lose money in same way you are and don't come crying when it happens. same guys around at 2$, 5$, 10$ scream tulips. and so on and so forth. of course they will still be around in further 5 years.  

equivalent in  what.. $611,000 invested Is that shocking these days to you? Meanwhile BBQcoin and Sexcoin- two copy paste junkcoins have higher market cap. You tell me what the fuck is copperlark with 1.3mil market cap..zetacoin? with 3mill, infinitecoin with 5mill? what do they bring to the table, any tangible benefits or just serve to accelerate dilution.

The comparison to giving money to beggars is lacking. If you've taken a cursory glance at reference implementation and spec you will see potential here. not promises of potential but verifiable potential. not just a concept or whitepaper but working code. Bitcoin 1.0 is not even mature, but "2nd gen" protocol layers and offshoots are appearing and it's about time. It is the future. This is not another-few tweaked params . ctrl+f replace on bitcoin-qt instamined shit coin made promoted by 14 year olds for siphoning off a few weeks of profitable gpu mining-- so it's absolutely not surprising to see the investment come in at the rate it's come in, it's only comparitively tiny slice of the future pie.

Here's how I do it:

is it known how long the IOU will last?

Then it works ?
Which pool is accepting the blocks with the XCP transactions ?
(sorry I did not follow the whole thread)

If anyone is unable to burn Bitcoins, I'm offering a "escrow burn" service. You can send me your Bitcoins, I burn them for you and send back XCP to an address of your choice.

My trust feedback page is here. If you have questions, please just send a PM.

Hi! Sorry for the dumb question, but where can I see my balance once a burn was successful?
