Popular Post The Original Spike Posted December 21, 2010 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm ready to catch the firestorm, so here goes.... (NO LINKS!) It's why I posted in RUMORS! Just got a call from a friend that is a computer guru, he does a lot of work for banks and insurance firms around the country. He asked did I know anything about the dinar? He was not one I have told about my investment. He stated it was Iraq currency, I told him I had heard a little bit about it, and it sounded like a crazy investment to me, the guy is kinda an ass, and didn't know if he was baiting me. He went on to ask me did I know anything about the process of pinging. ( I know a little bit, but didn't let him know.) He went on to tell me it is a test process on the computer system that happens when a currency is about to change in its value. I replied yes? And? He said well... they have been pinging the dinar at a revaluation of between $3.88 and $4.32. I said it's just probably a systems test. He said it usually means more than a test. He then for a friend of ours # who does investments. I gave it to him, and he stated I ought to really consider looking into it. Hmmmmm..... Just an odd call maybe, just tests maybe... interesting none the less 68 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinarded Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Sounds like TK is at it again lol he was the one that put out the first ping rumor, only time will tell thanks for the post Yep! Not quite sure why someone gave you a (-) but I just leveled you out with a (+) I got half way through this post and immediately said to myself, "TK" Sounds JUST like him....... Actually, I realized it was TK when I read "I got a call from a friend who's a computer guru!" P.S. Does this ALSO mean that "We are in 'receive mode'?"

The Original Spike Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Sounds like TK is at it again lol he was the one that put out the first ping rumor, only time will tell thanks for the post I'm not making predictions, don't know if its more than banking tests that mean nothing at all. I just thought it an odd call. I gain nothing from pumping, wish I could get an Ali cut! LOL, but really just relaying the call. He usually just works at nights on the different systems, but has been doing a lot of day work as of late. Not trying to take anything from TK or make any predictions, just relaying the conversation.

Popular Post The Original Spike Posted December 21, 2010 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm actually suprised he called to even tell me about the ping testing. We didn't go any further in depth and doubt he knows anything more other than making sure the computers do what they are supposed to do when the time comes. I also don't understand why the variation between the ping markers. I don't think he will know any sooner than we will other than something is close. You can be rest assured that if he calls with any more info, I will post, no matter what criticism I get. I figure we're all on the same ship, so might as well pass on what time dinner is going to be served, or if a hole is in the boat. We sink or swim as we ride this together. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double R Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks for the info.

Thor363 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yeah sure, they openly ping outside of all known security protocols, outside of any encryption, outside of web and any secure tunneling protocols for some b.s. artist to just stumble upon. Total b.s.! I've been in I.T. too long to believe that fake rumor, sorry. Don't make a purchase decision based on that. Now if they started to talk about the methods of listening or decrypting traffic perhaps inside the secured networks, I might ...maybe... perk up and listen a bit... maybe...please no bashing just telling it from someone with the background to discern. 15 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not IT... just relaying what I was told. Not trying to insult a veteran IT guy, and maybe he was just explaining to me in a non-IT person kind of way, I can fumble around and do a few basic applications, but have no real idea about what you are talking about with the tech talk you just addressed. So, do you explain complexities about computer protocol with people who barely know how to turn one on? I'm sure they would look at you like you were speaking an unknown foreign language. Wasn't trying to push an agenda, just found it curious is all. I wouldn't run out and buy more either right now, unless I had more disposable income that I could sit on. The kids need presents and the smile on their faces mean more than getting a little bit more dinar. So thank you for your input. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Spike Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 So we go from knowing a little bit about pinging to barely being able to turn a computer on? The concept of a "little bit" being a ping is a testing process of making sure when a currency updates in the market, the computers can read, translate and post correctly. (A little bit). The computer bit, surf the web, download and burn music, and a few other basic functions. Figure of speech. I'm not illiterate in all subject matter, just not as literate in the tech field as being an operator, but understand the concepts. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legolas Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 The "ping" story has been around at least since this time last year when we were convinced that the RV was going to occur immediately after passing of the election law. Maliki supposedly "had to RV" in order to have any chance at all to retain the PM position. Needless to say, it didn't happen, and if they haven't pinged enough by now to know that the system works, then they better switch to playing "pong." 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CITADEL04 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 You know, before you bash somebody for posting something interesting try to remember that this is the rumor section.

Captain Hindsight Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 So lets say it Revalues at 3.82, with 27 Trillion in circulation that would equal 103.1 Trillion USD. Anything seem wrong with this picture? 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
