Bitcoin Forum

Hey, Guys, I am jak3, I came back after 1year. (i barely visited this forum in this 1year) but I remember when I left this forum there was a lot of bitcoin campaigns and a lot of discussion topics. But nowadays people are only talking about altcoins. Can you guys tell me what I am missing till now or what exactly did happen under this 1year? I do have some idea about merits thought. Hope I can get a grip back into the discussions.

It seems you went on vacation after the massive bull run of 2017
Well; not much has changed

1. Bitcoin remains the best and there are 0.1% bounty that pays in bitcoin
2. Altcoins emerged as a quick rich form of investment; there are several pump and dump tokens
3. Regarding merits, the forum placed a new rule, newbie now needs 1 merit to get to junior member so as to improve the quality of discussions on the forum and so far it has worked I believe
4. If you go through the thread, you will realize that there are several Blockchain platforms under etherum, stellar, Blockchains and a lot of scam tokens too
5: I can say airdrop programs are technically dead because they bring no reward whatsoever (rewards are in 0.1$ - 1$)

In a nutshell, be careful now; frauds are everywhere, remember the simple rules in keeping your private key to your self

Bitcoin campaigns are now fewer.
Altcoin campaigns are more but few are paying.
The reason why they became few because of the market situation.

There are still a lot of bitcoin campaigns and successful altcoin camapaings, no need to be so negative.  People here remain optimistic about the market and most are accumulating more coins.

Welcome mate :)
Bitcoin campaigns are still alive but pay rates per post is low. It doesn't worth to waste a time with altcoin bounties and they pay with tokens that don't have any value after listing on the exchanges.

welcome back
In short after the bottom in 2018
It seems that 2019 is trying to be better

excuse me
There are two thread for you from 6 months and 9 months, respectively
Why do you say you are absent from a year?

You are missing the worst year of crypto. There was a lot of campaigns but the payment rate gets reduced. there was a discussion thread about merit in meta section you should go there. The bearish market has been creating a lot of problems and fear in the crypto.

I don't think what he said is being negative. Just telling the truth of what had happened last year. I do agree that bitcoin-paying campaigns are less compared in 2017 and early 2018. The last half of 2018 had more of altcoin or token-paying campaigns that you won't expect your payment after so many months, and you'll never know if they will pay as agreed as they stated that they can change the rules anytime. The last half of 2018 was really frustrating for so many bounty hunters. Let's accept that fact and not deny such situation.

Yes, there are very few campaigns that pay with BTC and the payment rates so low because of BTC's price decrease. It is not easy to participate in these campaigns. There are good payers, but not easy to attend.

When I was a newbie there were a lot of Bitcoin campaign I am in a hurry to rank up because higher rank members are getting a good deal with those campaigns but now I rank up there is not one Bitcoin campaign in ICO and I'm stuck to my present rank two years ago is much better than today because of the so many scam and failed ICO.

I guess this sums up everything that has happens in a year and to add more there is new crowdfunding called Security Token Offering and people are checking if this is the one that's going to replace ICO because it's more regulated and guaranteed safety to investor's investment, we'll have to see that happen.

I really don't see the big difference, as long as the altcoin you can get paid in have a value, then its good enough to receive, all most all project that's run a bounty have there own tokens, to get activity on the altcoins blockchains it would be a idea to pay bountys in that altcoin.

Everyone is waiting for the bull run and so far focused on buying some altcoins in the hope that it will bring them profit. ICO industry is going through not the best times, but many still believe in it.

If you join this forum just because of these campaigns and fret that you are not ranking up, then I would say this forum might not be for you. Instead use this forum for your own development in terms of crypto. Do you know how to compile wallets on your own? Just an example of skill that you can gain from this forum. This is more than these btc/altcoin-paying campaigns. We will gain tons of info here that no other site can offer.

There is massive price dump happen last year with bitcoin and a lot more in altcoin.
Right now they are talking about altcoin just because they trying to get lucky on altcoin and mostly altcoin is promoted in social media that is why new comers here on the forum almost talking about altcoin unlike bitcoin.

Massive fall in prices causes to pause the ongoing developments on small projects. Unlike bitcoin, altcoins need more construction and this situation in the market doesn't let the teams behind the projects to complete their plan.

Recently many campaigns are comes in continuously But most of the campaign payout was very low. So many peoples are not interested to participate in signature campaign. I think investors are not take risk in this moment so once market will growing continuously many campaigns are comes in the market.

Hello man, welcome back!. Well a lot of altcoins are added really in just a year but still this time all of them seems to be a garbage and just dependent to BTC’s price due to this long long hellish bearish situation also.

This forum is still the same I think, the same old UI, that many people complaint and want a change, I don't know this UI seems fine for me. Account farmer, scammer from around the world, and DT Members Tagging them, not many changes in this forum I believe, and yeah more people interested trash altcoin than the Bitcoin now. However, in the bitcoin and cryptoworld, there are many interesting things you would want to hear. ICO was huge and it's now dead, because they abuse it. Bitcoin is still the king, but the POW is not really popular now, all hail masternode. And Facebook and Telegram created cryptocurrency.

many people have left crypto because of the current market conditions.
there are many problems with the ICO campaign that have no value when they are on the market, and there are still many problems this year that have no solution.

Yeah fewer bitcoin campaigns and mostly only high ranks can join it. Most campaigns only do altcoins as of course it would expensive for them to pay main crypto. I think you already knew that since a year ago or late 2017 ICOs are the trend but dead after a year or two. ;D

There are a lot of people offering services to create coins and clone coins and tokens on the ETH chain. So basically there are lots of alts coming out that mean next to nothing because people are still trying to make a quick buck off the next greater fool. The merit system is a whole new ball game on rating a person on their forum quality.

there are a lot of things you miss during this year like
 1. ICO is no longer a profitable investment
2. The market has stopped falling, but is still on a bearish trend.
3. start many Projects that use STO to raise funds
4. Ethereum Hardfork, but it's not about POS
5. There must be a number of hacking exchanges during this year.
6 and last liverpool still next year bro ...

you don't miss anything. because as long as you leave nothing has changed in cryptocurrency. the market is still down and there are still many scammers hanging around here. the only difference is there may be many altcoins that are worthless now

The market has experienced a lot of bad times in the past year and now the price of BTC has dropped dramatically. that is the impact of the bubble and the economic downturn.
ICO projects are now very bad. There are many fraudulent ICO projects and that has made investors no longer believe in this area. STO has been born and is attracting many investors to it but there are no positive signs.
Since the market reached its worst stage, the BNB has come up with a strategy to increase the volume and necessity of the "BNB" coin. They released Binance Lauchpad and it helped BTT and FET to develop quite successfully. people are discussing this topic a lot and this is definitely a successful year for BNB.

but we need first to accumulate large and huge volume of tokens if that so? I think if you return in a year without really investing today, you still have no crops to harvest. Just do nothing to gain profit which is not productive.

Well you are lucky you are already a legendary when you get back to this forum, because of Merit you will be needing a very good and highly informative post to rank this is what people are longing, now a merit so they can rank up, but it seems you are not interested to get into a bounty campaign.

Market condition is affecting all coins after last bull and since then they are now many fake and scam ICO projects in crypto space, we now have STO in crypto space ,security token offering wish should perform better than ICO in terms of safety and less risky

One noticeable thing, airdrops used to worth a lot (same with ICOs) these days both of them's hype is gone lol

Hi jak3, yes it is. The forum has more altcoin discussion than bitcoin, but bitcoin value is still on the top, no lower than any altcoins at all.
I think it is because the market which have not recovering from the bearish situation from last year.
If the market in the bullish situation, i guess there will be many discussions about altcoins and bitcoin as well in this forum.

I think you have just missed nothing apart from the deadly bull who refused to run last year because of the how market finding their way down. Concerning the bitcoin discussion you haven't missed any also and again this is altcoins discussion so what do you expect, a lot are around talk about the altcoins and not bitcoin. You are welcome once again

Its all to do with the market situation. If you look at last year you saw there was a lot of prices changing quickly but now things have become much more steady and there are more opportnities in altcoins.

hi jak3 my answer is very simple why are people here only talking about altcoins? that's all because this is the Altcoin Discusion forum. if you want to see a topic about Bitcoin you can visit Bitcoin Discusion.

as developer works on utilization with the use of possession on general ideals the use helps as chance on gathering compounds of returns as managing with the template on systematicals.

I'm still active in altcoins discussions because of the coins I've kept for future profit, but this is a bad time for altcoins right now, so many altcoins are now shitcoins and so many ICO are now good in scamming people, it's all messed up no great project to talk about in altcoin

yes, there are currently more discussions about altcoin. especially is tokens. why are many discussed? since bitcoin reached the highest price and then fell back. altcoin is the worst impact. before the end of 2017, altcoin is very good. but 2018 and to this day. altcoin especially tokens are bad. many ICOs were destroyed and scam. some listings on the market, but don't get a value, even rising at ICO values is not possible for this time. that's why altcoin is very much discussed this year.

The only addition i have is that ieo and stos are now in existent, and you ca join in several bounty programs in the altcoins bounty section.
Remember not to abuse the rules of the forum and also help contribute to the creations of more values on the forum

There are almost no campaigns that are paying with strong crypto currencies like ETH or BTC anymore. Every project do not want to share their profits and are likely to give their tokens as a payment rather than to share some BTC.

I don't remember the last time I saw a Bitcoin campaign on the forum. At the same time, the number of altcoin companies is growing, but finding a worthy campaign that will pay well is very rare and this is tantamount to finding a rare pearl. This is due to the situation that has developed in the cryptocurrency market and lasts for more than a year.

During this year, a lot has happened, because it became impossible to find a bitcoin campaign. The number of altcoin campaigns tens of the day, but their quality suffers greatly and you come shitcoins, from which it is impossible to get rid of. Due to the arrival of bears on the market, many projects do not even collect soft cap.

I don't think there is a drop in Bitcoin campaign or rather signature campaign, just that we now have so many users on the platform and they create topic every second so you won't be able to find them, you can also go to the bounty section and participate in bounties that you think would be of benefit to you and I forgot one more thing, welcome back the Bitcoin talk the number 1 Bitcoin community in the world.

Bitcoins always remains the same no matter how much time interval has been passed but there also were a lot of new things which came into consideration.

Also, most of the ICO projects were been tagged as scam projects after the year 2017 so investors lost their faith into the markets. You need to gain some technical knowledge about the current situations so that you can again come to know about the ups and downs.

Welcome back,
I don't think you miss anything. the market is still the same as last year and nothing has changed. maybe what changes is ico is really dead now.

Several large projects ICO has returned investors' funds due to market conditions and negative impact on the bounty hunter because they do not get paid, the highest-paid bounty hunter is now $ 500, and even there is no value at all

A large number of people are interested in altcoins, as the tendency to make money now allows for alcoins to receive higher income in less time. And so, in general, everything was a little diminished.

Welcome back to the cryptocurrency world!!! ;) I think you did not miss anything special for this year, bear market enthusiasm does not add ;D, but rather reduces. You are just at the right time back, there are signs of changes in the market for the better.

Good you are back to join us once again in the hustle. So many water has passed under the bridge. Am not bringing any good news cos there barely one. Investors are being scammed in the name of ICO and bounty hunters get insults after their hardwork. Try to deal with these.

Well, bitcoin became quite expensive to purchase and altcoins became very rampant after all sort of cat and dogs decided to make ICOs their life changing opportunity by offering low value prices with the promise of making it grow bigger in near future after many people came into crypto world and heard the story of where bitcoin but I promise you, it is only a matter of time before every ICO jettison their ideas for BTC now because majority of altcoins are gradually fading off as a result of their instability and unreliable system.

In simple words, in last 12 months of times, nothing big thing happened positively in crypto space but most cryptos have suffered some ten fold downfall in the same time period. Marketcap may not indicate this due to increased circulating supply in between time.

You're wrong. There are many bitcoin campaigns available just not in the altcoin section. Check out the service section for that. My wild guess is that at least 3 new campaigns were opened in February and some of the old ones were also recruiting.
You probably wanted to say that it's impossible to find a bitcoin campaign when you're a shitposter. That would be correct.

Maybe just 1 year is not enough to see a significant differences in the value of cryptocurrency.
In the past year, there were many altcoins created, and thats why there are many discussions about it in this forum.

People just shock about the market now. everyone just compare between 2017 & 2018 - now about the market. The Increase numbers Scammers or fraud in ICO, airdrop, bounty campaign, about payment etc.

In the last year, the market dropped too deep, that's for sure ;D

But now, the market is trying to rise again, it is proving with so many altcoins that want to come back to the higher price, and it seems, bitcoin price starts to get high. Bitcoin now increases, and we hope that it will still increase because we now break $4000 which is very difficult to reach before. I think you are not missing anything except maybe you are late to buy altcoins but there still a chance to load them up in your balance ;D

The forum still the same as before and many of us still discussing the market, bitcoin, altcoin, and anything. Welcome back jak3, have a nice day in here (again) ;D

A year ago you might still feel a high market pump. And you are back now at a very appropriate time. Now, this forum remains the same and many people talk about rising prices this year. The market is trying to grow and maybe you can invest.

This idea came from the huge success from that seasons, now everything have a big risk accompanied by those factors that you needed to consider,
every time you make your stand be sure that you fully do your research and take things on your own shoulders and decide because of your knowledge
and not just because someone's opinions.

You are so lucky, 1 year when you not here is bad time cryptocurrency ever i have seen.
I hope when you back here is bringing back to bull run in 2017.
I hope so much.

When you return now, you like to start over again. Because now the market price is still very low and they are trying to rise. But if you start from the beginning, it will certainly be more profitable because the market grows from low prices and then rises.

This time some campaign for bitcoin not really popular, but if it is come again it will get filled very fast because people will choose it rather than ICO campaign that actually pay but no one know what will happen with their reward before listed to market.

A lot has happened over the past year from the development of this crypto currency. I hope you are not surprised to know the situation of crypto currencies that tend to be less good. Over the past year, the crypto currency has been in the worst position where the price of coins is very volatile which tends to be below. Lots of ICO fraud and hacking of crypto currency wallets so many investors are hesitant to invest in ICO. In addition, there is a lot of panic and news of hoaxes that are scattered in crypto currencies so that the existence of the crypto currency is increasingly threatened.

There are still campaigns right now but they are now fewer, bounty campaigns are good but not all became succesful and paying members. In my opinion, it is because of the value of the market, it is not like before with high value.

Who cares about altcoin when the bitcoin is in bearish mode for more than one year,people here are just speculating about what they can do so you just have to be on your own mindset.

You are already a legendary so you may not need any merit now because that is the higher rank for now in BTT,so just try to join on the discussion.

Most of them are retired of making new campaigns especially on Service(s) board, there are just left 2-3 signature campaigns that pays bitcoin or ethereum

Did you visit service section recently?

Since the beginning of 2019 there has been lot of bitcoin paying signature campaigns especially by gambling industry.

I do not think that in the past year there has been a lot more to go out of the crypto because of its collapse and the market has become no value with the ICOs. can they think possitive because for me sometimes I never quit crypto until this year I still wait for the rise and return of the crypto price.

He didn't. But as far as i can see from the service section if there was a lot of new btc signature campaign and some old campaigns are still active and paying all of the participants everyweek based on how much post created by participants. it's still exist.

Yeah it does still exist but the current payment for signature bounty has being decrease so low but still a lot of peoples still want to join that campaign. In the service section has being not the same as before 2017 when all thing are all high rates paid by campaign.. Hope this will be change soon when bitcoin are arise again.

that is be the solution for unclear bounty that usually not paid in the end of campaign periode.if we join in bitcoin signature  campaign it will give us more certainity the result from our work.

some traders have left the exchange because they feel that cryptocurrency is not too good and has not been so profitable that many traders are out, they feel they are losing money when they enter when the price is $ 20k and they don't see the fact that the price of bitcoin is very cheap.

I think the fact that you haven't been here in 1 year is only for the best, you kept your nerves and were sleeping peacefully while we watched this monstrous fall.

Just because the price of bitcoin was down more than 80% from the prices on 2017 so it looks very less payment but we need to remember there are days no incentives were given to post here.

he mean altcoin sigcamp which pay in bitcoin, it's very rare now, and gambling sigcamp don't count as it will always available for long time so it gives no difference.

but this year i think will be better as bitcoin no longer have big pump&dump, more adoption already happen as i see some crypto project and altcoin reached real world global scale, not only "exchange scale".
and all person in crypto world learn something from last year's dark age. crypto user become smarter and crypto dev will create something better

i'll always love this stable-slow growth when all real growth happen

Signature campaigns doesn't related with the crypto currency situation,there is scarce of bitcoin paying signature campaigns due to multiple reasons.

1.Advertising through bitcointalk is not giving investors.
2.Most of the bounty team don't want to spend money on advertisement because they can do it by paying their own tokens.

And majority of these failed project are the reason why bitcoin price is yet to rise even though we claim that it is as a result of whale action but I personally think that if BTC was the only form of coin in the crypto world, it would not have been easy for the whales to control it because most of these investors in other altcoins will focus on BTC investment and using the system for their various organizations.

All these altcoins are just using the means to raise money that cannot be traced back to them and majority of their coins are useless.

I think traders can hardly leave the market, such a market attracts them more than the stock market, because there is more volunteering, of course if the trader is not experienced then leave , but I think there are many prospects to earn big money!

A year ago, investments were been treated positively and also investing in any coin at that time was been profitable for now. That really was a plus point for everyone who are been enrolled among the community since last few years. If you might have been bought some tokens/coins at the time you quit markets and forget about them then you might surely have been huge profits until now.

I don't think it is a good suggestion. Think about it, if you did this when btc were 20k $ your return would be hurtful.

But i can agree if you say come back after 5 years or 10 years.

1 year is quite a long time and Crypto is moving very fast, you have missed a lot of things about Bitcoin and Altcoin that continue to grow. In the past 1 year you may see the market price is relatively high and is now much different or vice versa. There are still many opportunities for you to return to this forum and buy quality coins at cheap prices, everyone is sure that the bull will come and pump back the price of all the coins.

I myself even thought to leave the market this year. But I rested for 3 days and decided to continue working, I will trade in Altcoins.

Are you really sure that the scanty campaigns that we have now is really as a result of the market situation or is there any other thing you are keeping from us because to me.

I feel ICOs are already getting lots of discouragement due to the low turnout of investors who are being discouraged by the activities of shitcoin projects that has been raised in the past and also activities of scammers which the low market price too is also a contributing factor too to the low turnout of both ICOs and investors.

bounty campaign full with scam and shit project
bounty who organize on a bounty campaign reduce our reward
and also very many scammers who use 2 or more accounts to join bounty campaign

You going on a break means you made a whole lot after the sudden rise in the market, well i think it was a good decision, you didn't get to experience the hardships some of us had to go through. Right now i cant take a break even though i want to, i must be vigilante because there have been too many losses and looking or ways now to recover or avoid more is what has been going on in crypto. You are welcome back, right now some tokens are very low so it could be a good time for you to invest all over again

The recent downtrend in the past year has affected the lack of a campaign project involving Btc as a prize or Altcoin, but I am more optimistic if this situation will pass quickly, the market situation will recover, prices will increase again .

Even after the bull run I stayed here for as long as I can. I think I can't afford to be offline and not reading the information in this forum. It felt like there are so much I'm going to miss when I'm away for like a day. This is probably because I didn't sold anything from my holdings yet so I was like waiting for more of what will happen when people got so excited about new adoption that will happen.

What ideas can you share with us all in this forum?
it looks like you have to look for references from various sites about crypto and bitcoin. or you can visit the marketcap by looking at the track record for more than a year. it can be a comparison of your understanding

I think you missed a little while you were away, now the market is slowly recovering, I think we are waiting for a lot of interesting things.

I think it's a long time before the market can recover, but this year I'm sure that the price of altcoins will rise again and the bitcoin price will increase again in the last year but the losses of the market as well as the investors will increase for losing buy altcoins with potential and just hold it until december and I sure will be a big deal for buying cheap altcoins with potential but for those who are now nice to join bounty and many appear but still be careful in the case because not all are legit and even if there are ico still making a success but investors are still afraid of buying tokens to ico and about merit is pretty tight now the owner of the forum because there are many subtleties that engage in bounty and use multiple accounts in bounty so admin accounts are somewhat limited to be equal to another bounty hunter.

I think you left the forum before the bull season started. Because in the last bull season, investors have realized that by investing in altcoins, more profit can be achieved than bitcoin. Also this year altcoin prices fell too much. The price of many altcoins almost fell below the ICO price. And that's why altcoins can be increased more than bitcoin in a new bull season. Therefore, especially those who like to take more risks are more interested in altcoins.

Welcome back!
I'm pretty sure you are having a long vacation, maybe you've earned a lot during the 2017 market surge. :D :D
Our market still in good anyways even though prices it too far from 2017. Its hard to imagine during that time and nobody's expecting a huge dumps after cause we mostly thinking it continue to grow but it came into a reversal event. Everything went down and yet, still struggling for recovery.

If you want to hunt again, I do not think that your return will bring you much benefit. Now coins and projects are so empty that it’s scary to watch. Recently, I was able to sell new coins for less than $ 100 is ridiculous. And there is actually no useful information here. Bull, scam, wait a bit. All topics.

we never know whether the bitcoin signature campaign gives us certainty or vice versa. because we never know what will happen later. we don't know whether the campaign we choose will not fail. the problem has been that many campaigns failed and did not match predictions.

maybe what you mean is ICO, yes now ICO is a hot conversation, because almost 90% is fraud and it makes people hesitate to invest in altcoin.

We are all moving towards the altcoins direction, because a year ago there were not so much ICOs, STOs, IEOs that were taking place almost every single day. Every day there are 2-3 projects that are starting their TGEs.

Splendid time to be offline. Hope you had a great time!

You missed quite a lot of growth of the whole scene, including a lot of bad apples, but they existed before your time off too.

Right now many that got in eoy 2017/2018 are either waiting patiently for better times, or said farewell to crypto and may be difficult to persuade to ever come back :).

Enjoy!

There are still campaigns paying with bitcoin but unfortunately the number is very little. And because of the low rewards due to the current market situation, it is not preferred. Altcoin campaigns have a higher chance of earning money, if you can get paid :)

Long bearish trend made the bounty hunters life to be very hard and almost the bounty campaign for the ICO are just paying with the tokens which causes the scarce of bitcoin signature campaign.And even merits made more hard for the new people so actually bitcointalk getting strict due fo spams.

When you left a year ago, the market was starting to go down. Since then a huge at least 80% decreased had happend. This was onenof the reasons why nnowadays there were only few bicoin transaction. Cryptoenthusiasts are becoming more careful about their investment.

As long as you leave Crypto, many events occur. The main topic, of course, was the sharp decline in Crypto market prices. With such conditions, it adversely affects ICO growth. But now you come at the right time because Crypto's condition is slowly starting to recover.

it seems like everything has been mentioned, and what you miss is that now many ICO projects fail and are not serious, this is very detrimental to many parties, especially investors and bounty hunters.

If the ico project's signature campaign can be said to be successful it can be said to fail because it is not necessarily the project will develop, but if the bitcoin signature campaign is already escrowed to the manager and must be paid it won't fail.

Happened last year id the price dumping, there's many changed happened in the market I believe when you leave the msrket you saw the price of the bitcoin is very high right? When the market is high there is a lot of campaigns here in this forum because they want to becone popular their project so they will earn more bitcoin so they will get more money. When the price down the campaigns decrease only signature but the bounty campaign still a lot.

An addition; it is rare to find any bounty  project lately without any kyc attaches to it
And we have bounty project refusing to pay no matter what

But if you know your way around; there are definite earnings for you

Most of bounties and signature campaigns are about of altcoins, and there are also some of signature campaigns and bounties who give bitcoin for work.

Congrats, you missed the main part of the bloody drama and walked calmly through the bearish market. Bitcoin is now rarely paid, it's hard to get into such bounty, so the majority went to seek luck in altcoins. But all the same, this is done with one purpose: to sell coins more expensive and earn as much BTC as possible.

I believe that with new projects and new campaigns the focus has changed. People are arguing more about altcoins than bitcoin. I believe that is the reason.

Isn't this normal in the crypto world after dozens of useless coins? New projects don't aim the professional management and they usually prefer to control it like how others did. After a year my prediction is crypto payments will be used widely than today.

Such bounties are more likely to be performed , as other bounties are paid in tokens that do not go to the exchange and if you go out you can get a penny

I will never believe that a person interested in cryptocurrency could completely stop attending this forum for a year and did not even read news about cryptocurrency.
Maybe you just purchased this account?

yes, maybe like that, if he already has an account and stops at all for a year, is that natural and in my opinion, if he were bored with bad conditions and he was sure Crypto would not rise again, maybe that could happen because it made sense .

if you want to know what you miss, you have to read many other topics in the forum because that can also help you.

2018 is a very bad year for the crypto world, and 2019 is the year of recovery. reality, today we see Bitcoin and altcoin that make a positive rally. even the IEO helped restore crypto ratings. because in 2018 many ICOs scam and make investors lose.

so lucky you passed a year ago because prices were so devastated and many campaigns failed too so we only spent all of this year without getting very good results, maybe with your coming here this year is the right time to start your activities at Crypto.

Welcome back. Seems like theres a lot more fake accounts here and a new coin launching every 20 minutes  :P

You made the right decision that for 1 year you did not do activities in the Crypto world. During this year the price of coins has decreased very sharply. And many people complain that they have suffered heavy losses. Now you come at the right time and you can start investing or trading again.

Nothing really happen for 1 year you left crypto currency. We are still waiting for bull run and until now we cant see any solid evidence of getting near to these biggest market. Well there is one thing got change instead of ICO project more interested avout IEO which exchange will run the token sale in their platform. More realistic and safe than ICO

2018 is hard year for crypto community and i think its right decision to pause in 1 year. But looks like 2019 is good year and market perhaps start for bullish. People talking about altcoin because peoples think many good altcoin worth to hold like the development of BNB or new rising RavenCoin

In the year 2018, the worst year for crypto, all coins experienced a decline, indeed the situation that rises or falls in cryptocurrency is normal and we must be able to react wisely, hopefully when you return to crypto this year everything will be better, slowly crypto will go up but not fully, be patient for good results

Why do people prefer altcoins, because altcoins are likely to rise 3 times or more even 10 times or hundreds of times, while bitcoin 50 percent increases are very unusual and very rare.

Welcome back. I too took a hiatus a few years ago. This forum only becomes more populated. The only real difference is that there's more crap to sort through to find useful information  ;D

If you bought bitcoin from the lowest price this 2018 and 2019 then you should just leave it in your cold wallet and come back after a year and be amaze on how big your profit is. It is proven and test because just think about the people who took advantage of the bearish market and bought bitcoin and now they are sitting pretty on their profits.

If you have came back after a year, then you have nothing missed out as the 2018 was the totally bearish market. But, You have escape from the negative and the fake and the worse case of the market without knowing it. You did a good job that you made a holyday in the worse scenario of the market.

There had been fewer bitcoin campaigns, a lot of SCAM altcoin campaign, Majority of ICO failed, a lof users went to vacation because of this. You actually went to a vacation on a good timing, a very depressing scenario happened to crypto market a year ago. Anyways, welcome back, things are starting to get better compared last year.

This is very interesting because you came again after the crypto market experienced a significant decline. Even though it has declined, it can be used to buy coins at low prices. You have now returned to the Crypto market and I suggest investing immediately. Because the market shows a very positive trend.

The biggest obstacle for a return person is information, just as you said. You need a friend who knows more and works while speaking again, because I think some of the information you earn doesn't make sense  ;)

The information is good but lacks some important things about scams, new money, higher exchanges ... Most things are going down and the situation is very bad for the virtual market situation  :'(

I think he needs to read on many threads on here so he can know what exactly happens on here. Everything was changed since the last time he's online. By reading on many threads, he can get what he wants, and I think maybe he can get some idea to get more income from crypto. But there will need time before he can start to earn some money but with having a passion in the cryptocurrency will give him a chance to make money.

If we talked about the crypto we can understand that rise and fall occurred during these years and due to that many users have lost their coins to fear of fall so it is make sure that they are coming after some time and we will see that crypto is the future currency we can excel in life if we have these coins.

Yes because many people nowadays see the potential on the cryptocurrency space. They all want to be CEO's of their own not worthy companies. But still, bitcoin I can say will be the best to invest. We might not see many campaigns but let us focus on investment nowadays. That is much worthy and professional.

Instead of come back after a year, why don't you try to start trading until the market gets better? Why don't you start earning a little by just trading and exchanging some stuff that you have. You can earn a profit although its a little just to cover the losses that may get unto you.

Instead of being came back after a year try a day trading or exchanging in Bittreo (https://exchange.bittreo.com/?utm_source=ccexchange) so that you can saw and earn a actual trading in which you can earn a profit. You can trust bittreo because the securities of this is really good. I prove it because I'm a user of this trading platform.

Many people can change the direction of the trend if they think in the same way. What I want to say is to think healthy as crypto investors and blockchain technology supporters.  The market situation has an effect and bear trend make it worse to continue support.

Welcome back bro. I'm certain the market's better than you left it. So much altcoin in the negative while bitcoin is Liv Ng up to expectations. While some Investor are making money, some got their hands burnt. You can invest into some projects. Much shitcoins coming up everyday. You could get involved in some good trading coin. All the best

A year away is still a long period to go buy.
If I were the OP, I would not go straight into joining bounty campaigns, because it is no longer like it used to be.
I would have to get myself acquainted with what is happening and the learn how to within a short time, take maximum advantage of the system in getting the best.

During that year it was bearish market  and it seems we have found the bottom and started a slow
recovery. Many scam ICO campaigns led to a new model of investing through IEOs.
Bounty campaigns are less rewarding as before.

A lot of happenings under 1 year. Crypto currencies goes wild and reach its top price then it shrunk unexpectedly as a start of bear market.
The market is currently recovering now, you have chosen a good time when you have comeback.

Topics and discussions are still there but aren't that many compare to the past months because of bear market. Though there's no big changes that happened to the forum aside from merits.

Yes. A lot of campaigns have only ended as a scam. There are still campaigns existing today but its rate per post have been reduced. This all happens when bearish market have stayed long in the market. But seeing the current market starts to recover gives us new hope again that those things that have given us huge profits before will also happen again with this bullish market soon.

Well, many things have changed, i mean the market is not in a good condition as everyone already knows. People were trying to figure out how to make money in this period, many of them wanted to invest in ALTs before another bull run comes. But bitcoin is still number one and the strongest. Luckily, it seems like the market is trying to grow again recently.

Welcome back and Im glad your back here at this crypto world and I hope you can earn money once you invested your money again to the crypto just do your best for you to get best altcoins for you to not make losing your money. For thid year market change and this going to be better right now.

There are few reasons for this case. At first, it's because of downward trend which made price of BTC fell a lot that why number of BTC signature campaign decreased as well. Beside, Moderators often care about Bitcoin sections more than Altcoin sections that why spammers, shitposters often choose Altcoin sections to spam to get money from bounty campaign which they're being in.

Well, i guess you've got the right timing that time. To be honest, today's signature campaigns are less compared in 2017 where btc is in its prime. Another, Merit system was implemented which help our forum to get rid of the bad entities entering here (like scammers and shitposters). I also noticed that few ranked up (due to the merit system of course) but at least the members are now well filtered.
Well, you're right but in a bad way (IMO). They talk about altcoins because most of the bounties nowadays end up as scam or the ICO find a hard time to reach at least their soft cap.

---

Oh! I almost forgot. Im sure that you are already aware of the latest news — that we might receive red tags if we spam and Yobit proved to be a scam as well. 

You didn't miss much - just concerns about the bear market and people panicking over it. During the bear market, it's a good idea to tune out from the negativity and focus on other aspects of one's life. The only material change during that time was perhaps the SEC clampdown on ICOs.

You are currently creating posts on the "altcoin" topic and so you will see a lot of people discussing altcoin. Besides, in 2017 - 2018, altcoins grew very well in 2017 and it died a lot in 2018. that's why people always talk about altcoins with negative thoughts .

Well, the crypto market is fall down since last year 2018. After 2017, the market crashed so badly and thank god the market start going up again in this month. About bitcoin campaign, yeah it's more less these days, not many signature campaign with bitcoin payment nowdays.

Welcome back friend to this ever jolly forum. Many things did happen since you left this group. First of all you need to get at least one merit to get the status of junior member. Another thing is full member needs to have at least 100 merits. Concerning cryptocurrency, the market is correcting itself and becoming stable after months in pain. It indicates that there will be good days for crypto traders. 

congratulations for returning to the platform, with respect to the issue, the altcoins begin to give good returns (in trading) many projects have begun to make relevant associations or have a product, service or an important utility of your token

During this year, Bitcoin fell many times, it is obvious, you can compare the rate then and now. That's a lot of ICO and goes to other Altcoins, since everyone needs to earn money, but now it’s not real on Bitcoin

You have been out of Crypto for a year and that has been a long time. Within a year Crypto experienced a very sharp decline. And now you have returned to the Crypto market and I hope you can still trade well. Currently, the market in a few weeks has shown a very positive trend.

if a person has not entered the market for a whole year, then he is probably in strong shock))) the dynamics that are now are a positive dynamics for those who saw 3000 for Bitcoin

Most likely, in order to be absent for a long time, reasons are needed.  Cryptocurrency makes all new and new steps in development and need constant monitoring.  The latest news is that crypto exchanges began to frequently carry out IEO in exchange for ICO companies.  Do you think this will lead to the complete disappearance of the ICO?  Because the investment fees when conducting an IEO takes much less time.

There are lot of changes within a year. In terms of price, future, adoption of technology, machine learning etc shows lot of changes based on market we can invest on potential coins.

Well when you think of giant profits from altcoin, definitely you need time. Though they are soft to pockets but they yield very low. Bitcoin on other hand has its own pros and cons and one biggest cone is it’s expensive to buy. Even, opportunist are here that never turn any stone to kick it for their own benefits. Not a year, but don’t try to sell coins now, wait for time to let it reap to crest of price range.

Just one year is not enough friend. One year before now, it means the early 2018 and it is just after the cryptocurrency hype in 2017 end.
If you want to leave crypto, leave when the market is bad, not in the hype. When you buy some good coins with bad price and leave it for years,
your coins price might be multiplying above 2x

The very thing that I can update you is about the popular crypto investments.

From ICOs, the market has now IEOs and you should research about it.

As regards the market recovery, things are really getting better, as we can see that the market is beginning to recover and we are already walking and working towards the line of bull market.

The only thing I have seen that s yet to improve now is the ICO market, it looks as if the market has been completely abandoned now to scammers which is not right, ICO has been a wonderful thing and it has assisted majority of us in one way or the other, so we cannot abandon ICO and let it fade out.

IEO that was created is good and still working according to it reason for creation which is to create investment security but it doesn’t benefit or have a plan for low income earners or bounty hunter.

Indeed, now IEOs is more popular than ICOs and its attracting more investor. Early IEOs investor getting profits because the price always rising after the token start listed in exchanger. I think IEO will change how developers team raising the money to fund the project

Not that much difference with ICOs before.
But with IEOs now, the investors an assurance that their coins can be dumped so fast because there's already an exchanger that's waiting for that token. It is the trend setter for this year and its giving the developers an idea on how they can raise funds better.

Well the bear market strikes for more than a year now and bounty hunters are aching because of this. I don't see any bounty campaigns that wants to pay for Bitcoin so altcoins became more popular but still payments are quite very low and some didn't even pay because fake bounties are rampant nowadays.

We can say that our crypto market is growing very well and altcoins are being pumped at quite high prices. eg Binance, Cryptochain, Enjin. We are in a great growth phase and this is a good time to invest in altcoins in the top 30.

maybe as long as you go a lot of things that happen in one year back, for example, many people experience considerable losses in 2018 because the market is not good and it continues to have an impact until now we can still feel and bitcoin hardfork that raises new coins but, no there was a big change that occurred during hardfork.

they experience pumps because the growth of their own platforms is not due to the recent market growth. because the market is moving very slowly, it's not really good but it's still a positive trend.

all this will end and the bear market will end so the bull market will reappear.
the market has been in a bad condition for a long time, so many people who were not strong finally gave up.
Hopefully this increase will improve market conditions so that the market will soon be stable and profitable.

Does that means that you did not recognize our STO mate, because I can see that you did not mention it along with the happenings that has happened over a year. Anyway, STO too is now in the market, although both STO and IEO are still yet to be rampant as much as ICO is.

They are gradually coming up, but it will take a little longer before they can really flood the market, because I can see right now that the market is a bit short of IEO projects, making the little ones available gets filled on time and not giving us all the opportunity to partake in it in our little way, but I think very soon, ICO might become a thing of the past, leaving it to IEO.

Yes we are at good phase, recently price was dumped but now again rising with time, still there is huge space in market to recover so wait fro time but purchasing should be done right now, instead of buying so many coins I like to invest in bitcoin because the price is not high we can afford so many coin even at low price, now is great time to buy.

Buddy, just take it and read in detail the most active topics. During this time there have been many discussions. There were new interesting projects, then disappeared. The prices of the main coins grew then fell, there were many reasons for this.
Roughly speaking, you have not lost anything this year, the main thing is that you did not miss the price of cryptocurrency, so it’s not too late to buy.

there is no right time if we feel confident to decide to invest in cryptocurrency, the important thing is we can take the opportunity to make purchases on some coins that we will choose when the price drops. Throughout 2018 the market price has experienced a very sharp decline, but that does not make all investors leave cryptocurrency for granted, and what we have seen so far is that market price movements have increased again, this shows that investors will remain despite market prices experience an increase or vice versa.

You a lot of worse scenario last year 2018 different issues discuss herein from like ICO's scamms bounty hunter and investor can't recieved rewards, bitcoin steady to their price at very lower level all difficult to trade because of bear market scenarios and bitcoin ETF approval of US secuuand exchange.

it's there bro. from some of my friends who have stopped investing from mid-2018 until now, they have just returned again because they have run out of capital and now they only have capital and want to open a new page and history

yes, you missed a lot of things, especially the bounty campaign problem. for one year there were many who complained that they had not been paid or had not received income. many people also talk about the future of etherum, slow price growth also makes them all worried. during the past year there has been no significant increase.

You don't need to go back next year, look at the market getting better and continuing to experience positive price changes. It is unfortunate if you leave the market when market conditions are like this, there are many opportunities for you to get profit in trading when market conditions are positive like this

Having peace of mind is good, so if you think you need to rest and become a holdler I guess that would be the brightest idea for us. Don't mind those very noisy speculations, just take it for granted because someday you'll harvest what you've been planting. Putting yourself into silence after a year, that's enough to regenerate strength as you're grow your asset value.

There are still a good number of bitcoin campaign but understand that because of the large number of altcoins you're like to see more campaigns relating to altcoins than bitcoin.

In condition like this, anything that can make profit is good to do. Different strategy or maybe way of trading or maybe pick bounty, or maybe do services that can  paid with token from project. Actually a lot of ways can be done to earn salary in here.

Nothing extraordinary has happened, also for bitcointalk bounty campaigns, the crowd that joins it is not encouraging and as such bounty rewards are reduced. Also in almost every campaign you get to hear of kyc which is also not satisfactory to most hunters. Bitcoin reward bounties are also scarce.

On the past year 2019, Bitcoin discussions becomes less because of its value that most of the people spend time on learning things about altcoins. We cant deny that people wanted to have something to earn for when bitcoin is still sleeping. After that, I guess the atmosphere changes to normal again and people are talking to both BTC and Altcoins.

If they want to sell their altcoin, I am afraid they need to wait for more because the altcoin time to increase has not come. But it could happen after this since the bitcoin price is down higher than yesterday. So if your friends can have more patience to wait for the time, I am sure that in the end, they will make a profit from the coins. I think many people came back to the cryptocurrency, especially after they know that bitcoin price can increase higher now.

Many things happened always with crypto even if you don't stop doing it. But the problem is altcoins and bitcoins are too much to be handled by one person in 24 hours. I mean it basing on my experiences. It is rather our will to learn and to expand our knowledge to the best of our abilities. So good luck to all of us traders, bounty hunters, beginners, and expert investors.

We have been here for long and have heard many issues concerning cryptocurrency and blockchain. I think Bitcoin remains the central of attraction and no one discuss about cryptocurrency and blockchain without referring to Bitcoin and it is not because it was the first coins build on blockchain technology but it remains strong in the face of opposition to it existence. I do believe that in many years to come Bitcoin will remain relevant as it is today.

just a suggestion, if you are busy in the real world such as work, education, family or others, you should not leave this Bitcointalk forum, just open this forum at least twice a week so you don't miss out on valuable information about the price of cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology development and the rules that apply  ;D

They are talking about potential opportunities to earn to instead of focusing with bitcoin alone they are now seeing the possibilities what alts
can bring in to their investment, with how the market behaves now bitcoin is dominating so it have a lots of talks and investment is on its side
needs to wait for alts to comes up after.

Welcome back to the forum. One year is not that much long year. But something good things surrounding cryptocurrency have happened since you left bitcoin forum. First of all bitcoin remains all time good performer reaching about $12000 from as low as $3700 some months ago. Another good thing is Facebook is issuing its Libra coin.

I think around 1 year, speaking of market situation, market just recovered from bearish and now seems that altcoins are to follow the bullish state of bitcoin and ethereum coin. However speaking of bounty campaigns, everyday there are many new campaigns and we dont know which one would be a very succeasful in the long run.

Well, I must confess I really envy you: You enjoyed the bull run and actually missed the trying times of crypto.

Bitcoin price plummeted from its All-Time High and has been struggling to get back there since then.

Altcoins are currently struggling

Scams are prevalent as ever

Only few projects are actually delivering what is in their whitepaper and pitch-deck.

And many more...

Many people are talking about altcoins mostly because we have many altcoins investors in this space now and very few bounties pays bounty hunters in btc,its very rare to get one now.
Since 2018 after the last bullrun many scam projects are been released till date

Welcome back, friend! It seems to me that the majority of users have not visited this forum for more than a year because there have been absolutely no movements in the market! Now, on the contrary, interest in cryptocurrency is increasing every day, as in 2017. According to Bitcoin - I believe that this year Bitcoin should update its maximum to attract new large investors to the market! Similarly, from 2014 to 2016 the market stood still, and then flew up and we all remember 2017 ... ;)

Of course, there were a lot of other coins, which are called altcoins. But most of them are just trash. People are still actively talking about bitcoin too. Bitcoin is still the king of the crypto market.

Same here, after I lost almost everything my hardly earned crypto last 2017, I also missing in action for about 2 years.

Yes, you we're right, back then bounties for BTC are overwhelming, unlike now, only fewer are offering.

However, altcoin are now raining every where, yet, some bounties turn to be scam.

I haven't sold tokens received from bounty for almost a year because the price was very low. Now the price of some tokens has grown although I also did not receive the income I expected. I think that now while you have the opportunity you need to get rid of strange coins and invest in the TOP

I do not think it's a good idea. If those projects that you have in your portfolio have survived after such years, then I think their growth in price is already very close.

I think there is not much to worry about. Bitcoin still remains on its throne and you probably took a break because you of the red market. Bitcoin's price continue to increase as of now but altcoins are not pushing forward too much. However, I think there is still a bright future for altcoins if bitcoin pushes further.

In the past year cryptocurrency experienced the worst, namely the fall of the price of Bitcoin which was very severe up to 80% from $ 17k to $ 4k plus ICO which almost all contain scam projects.
You can say you're lucky to be lost for 1 year when everything is bad in all aspects of cryptocurrency, this year everything is slowly improving and you have the right to return here.
welcome back to jak3 and congratulations on joining this forum again.

Looks like Op came back at the right time and thats the good break made you much fresher than the old investors who might tired of getting the price dump.But now we are facing upward trend which is really giving positive things to every investor.

Right this forum changed a lot,merits,new trust score,bounties,campaigns scammers,etc...

I think the altcoin campaigns is the trend of 2018, and in the year 2019, altcoins and ICO will be popular if the price of cryptocurrency reach the peak. In the next time, if the price of BTC go up more than $18,000, I think there are a lot of investors will comeback

Come back after a year sounds like a perfect time. You know, you missed bearish trend and now you can catch bullish trend.
Altcoin season is coming, just take some alts and get profit

I checked your past post and as i saw in there you were gone just for 2 months and not a year.
And i also noticed that you were so busy posting when you came back.
BTW, BITCOIN campaign was huge before and gone in 2018 might be due to high price of the coin.
But now thre are some campaign paing in bitcoin like ANYONE bounty.

Bitcoin campaigns? Hard to participate in those campaigns because they are quickly filled.
You can participate in campaigns that paying in listed coins and after you get reward, then change it to BTC.  :)

And if you leave this forum and come back next year, then you can expect that there will be no signature or bounty campaign. I see that every year the situation is worse and worse.

Not really. I see that every month there are still some quality bounty so you can participate recently, like Harmony, Blink, etc.
The number of bounty now is not much, as well as the bounty pool does not seem very attractive, but if we choose it we can still choose good one.

Same here.I also came back after 1 year 1 month.In last year there were lots of btc paying campaign.Now a days we can see lots of altcoin campaign.I guess this because of altcoin has a very good potential.I am looking forward to join in some of them also doing some research on some of the altcoin

I did not leave this market at all, even though it was a very difficult time. for 2018 I got a lot of experience and now I can easily find a promising project

Well, Altcoins hype definitely is there and i think not much people look at announcement thread anymore
Most people just wanted to see if Altcoin discussion and also do bounty so they get paid
Speculation thread is kinda a thing too, i am hovering around 2 of this section mostly

I think you're now familiar with IEO, used by projects that are administered by an exchange. This is done so that they can reassure the public that the introduced project is safe, legitimate, and reliable. Other than that, i think the reason why people are leaning against altcoin is because of how fast bounty hunters and investors receive the promised amount of coins. Plus, there are rumours that the altcoin season is coming in close that's why people keep on holding and discussing about its price. Bitcoin has also significantly dropped in price together with ethereum. I think for bitcoin, it decreased as low as 4k and as for ethereum 180. But it is slowly regaining.

I can say that this is the time of come back of crypto currency from it's nightmare and the bear market is over for me and this times of crypto is the year for recovery and profit makings, i say this because BTC price is now getting higher and higher even though the current price still meet the point of brc price in its Glory days but hopefully at the end of this year all things in crypto wi be good.

I am very worried about the situation with Altcoin. Many have already ceased to believe that the price increase of the Altcoins will take place. But I continue to believe and invest further in the Altcoins.

Welcome back buddy! I think you don't missed anything much when you said that it is only a year. Bear season was felt the time you left and I think we are still there. Some campaigns are affected but it is part of the cleaning process I think.

The good thing is that you are here now. I think you are great on timing because Bitcoin is now kicking and we are hoping that in no time, we will be back on track again.

year in a crypto is a decade in the real world, there is a lot of changes, after ICO and STO, now we have IEO as a way to establish your project, and have market from the start, since that was lacking for many projects in 2018, they did not make to the market
still, IEO just means that tokens will be listed, and we have to wait for next phase to have better adoption of crypto, because this will add up value for tokens

Mainly talking about investment trends and different projects.  I think you should have a more mature look on the market and mainly revolve around Bitcoin and IEOs projects.  I realized that in a year there were many projects that could not grow and that were dead projects.
Investors were smarter and stopped participating in ICO projects.

Oh god =]]
I left too, half of a year, we missed nothing but good things,
Price down, everyone get exhausted after doing all the things and no payback,
But for now, BTC's price is over 10k, I think it's really the time to comeback

It's hard to believe you're back. After the 2017 race, it is still quite difficult until now.

You seem to be a person with many merits. Can you give me some experience, how to earn more merits?

Have a good day bro!!

the most populer one is IEO become more popular than ICO right now that mean less bounty that have good quality here.
they prefer do IEO than ICO and look like they don't need bounty hunter for promoting their project

one and the most important thing that altcoins have big volatility, it can raise more than 100% for a day and also could be a stable coin

After a year were bitcoin and altcoin are in a higher value,it faces crises which everyone stragled because of price down. But now after a year of stragle ,bitcoin market start to recover but altcoin still faces difficulties.

An upgrade to this thread;

1. Ieos have been tested reviewed and examined; and I can tell you the success of an ieo depends on the project first then the exchange platform

2. Secondly; an ieo success does not mean etherum will moon; neither does it moon that the token will trade above ieo price; and it doesn’t stop the dumping of any token.

3. The market is full of more bear market than a bull market; so be smart in your dealings

A lot of people have finally realised that altcoins have more potential. The majority still has bitcoin as a major part of their portfolios, but the amount of altcoins has increased and people are more excited about fresh altcoins and not BTC price.

2017 = bull run
2018 = great deep
2019 = balance diet
2020/2021 = another bull run

To be honest, nothing much has changed except maybe the participants in the Cryptocurrency space, we do not chase after ICOs like we used to do in 2017 and we are much more wise in the projects we get involved in, there has been several advancements ofcourse but so far, we are still striving for worldwide adoption.

People only care About Price. buy more and the Price will increase. thats what you can do for the market.

i have also been away for more than a year. im back because 2gether.global finally did a crypto visa in the eu.


i totally missed out on tron. lucky me i guess. lots of People hate it, because the Price dont perform as they wish.

but for me as a "Newcomer" its awesome. Price is low, the platform is hot. dapps have quallity now. the whole experience using the chain is very smooth.


dapps are on the rise. they could be the next ico. the dao scared alot of People but the Dream is still there.


once the dust settles, there will be light again.

it seems your determination is very strong, i am also the same as you.
since 2017 ended, many people have begun to lose confidence in Altcoin. maybe until now there are still many people who do not believe that altcoin will rise again like a few years ago.

but to this day, i still believe in altcoin. i hope this year is the end of our nightmare.

this forum will be less crowded without altcoin,
so what is your better hope besides that?
the development of altcoin and bitcoin is very fast from year to year,
if you don't want to miss an important thing,
I recommend staying active at least once a week for the latest news.

Agree, there has been no significant change so far and no change with crypto as you said. there is also certainty that many projects are scamming to make profits poorly. and price developments are only now changing after stagnation.

Fraud is still a problem in the cryptocurrency market. Maybe because there are no strict regulations governing the collection of funds for new projects. But anyway, in my opinion altcoin is getting more and more and there are new altcoins that are popping up

Greetings guys, as many people here discuss mining, and altcoin mining in particular. I would like to hear your experience in this field, who has such.

Hi, I can only say that BTC mining is dead inside, to many people involved in this sphere, the rise of altcoin mining is a good opportunity in my opinion for those who want to have good income

So what steps would you name? How to start mining and if so, is it hard or expensive?

I can say that it's very expensive one mining device can cost 2K USD. But if you want good results you need to invest much. And be attentive where you buy, I recommend official resellers, not ebay or amazon

For example? Do they really sell different equipment? What miner dou you own yourself?

I have a S17 Pro model, but not one of course, a row of them in my garage. They are silent and fast, really like it. As a good example of original shop I can name asicequipment com. They have a nice shop with sales

Yeah, so I should shop in such stores? Like asicequipment? Have you bought there?

Yes, sure. All my S17 Pro models were bought there. I would not have recommended asicequipment to you if I had not bought anything there.

Got you right, thanks for sharing. All in all altcoins are profitable for mining as well.

Yeah, as the rate of gambling and volume of trading is really high.

Things are not the same relating to cryptocurrency. Many things have changed. First of all the number of bounty campaigns has decreased. The method of fundraising has started shifting from ICO to IEO, STO. You also missed the US's reservation about Facebook's digital currency called Libra.

The came back of yours is in the right time in the sense of investment opportunity. This year almost all the altcoins are traded in unbelieveable price of never before price. So, at only $100 of funds you will get lakhs of altcoins or coins of different.

Blockchain technology is growing, new coins are becoming more and more popular so there are many campaigns about them

Bitcoin and Ethereum are still the most reliable crypto coins for investment. There are a lot of altcoins in the market and for the most part these are very risky investments.

Every day we are seeing new altcoin popping up in the market but sometimes it is very hard to find which is reputable in the market. Most of the companies are collecting the funds and seeling them in the market for a higher price and start leaving the project. Recently we heard Pluse Token scammed a lot of money by dumping them in the market.

Not much change from last year, the most notable difference this year is only about IEO, and if you miss bounty work for a year then it has passed a deposit of thousands of dollars into your wallet

Hello! You are missed a lot! Bitcoin returns to the price 10-12K, altcoins still in the bottom. New model of token sale arrives - IEO Innertial Exchange Offering). And it is really good model, better than ICO.

Oh I see, you really being left behind about the scene happened in the forum huh. You probably enjoyed your long vacation mate :D
Yes its true that we have a merits rules now for us to rank up here, then during 2018 ico reputation became bad image in the sight of many because of many scam that has been arise during that year. But when 2019 turned IEO arise and became trending up to now where most of the investors and bounty hunters discovered an alternative way of getting profit here in this field of industry dude.

Thumbs up Cryptoae, thats the summary of it. Dude left the space after gathering enough gains from the last Bitcoin bull. Lol.. Anyway, you are welcome back Jak. The space has got a lot crazy since you left. Many scam strategies and dumped projects you should look out for.

You made a correct argumentation regarding the question of the opponent. The token sale statistics don't show the growing number of invested amounts, the interest decreases every day.  But the existence of Libra will surely let the masses to adopt with the biggest help of social media's power. Crypto industry is changing the outlook of day trader came from old fashion traditional financial markets, the new trend requires to understand the emerging technological, financial revolution. Regulation has always been a problem until today.

Too many altcoins appeared, and this is one of the reasons for Bitcoin dominance. The CoinMarketCap site reflects only a part of tokens. In reality, there are more of them. Shitcoins affect the market negatively, and fraud makes people hesitate whether to invest in altcoins or not. Finally, most guys choose Bitcoin as the most trusted cryptocurrency.

Actually there are peoples who talking about bitcoin in bitcoin section too (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0)
But the peoples who talks about altcoins are more than bitcoin, i think it is because there are more new altcoins created.

I think it is just an unfortunate situation for us to participate in a project that has a scam impact, I hope we all do not despair just because of several projects scam, Because, in the forum there are still many projects that really pay the participants, such as projects that pay using BTC or ETH.

Well, I read the debatable statement in these lines. The signature campaigns that paying in BTC or ETH have more requirements like merit, writing with quality posting guidelines and more further. The bounty campaigns that paying with altcoins also strengthens the arguments if they delay the bounty distribution or try to change the bounty terms after the end of the bounty campaign.

now to join the bitcoin campaign we must meet the requirements that are quite difficult, as far as I know, besides having to have a high ranking we also have to get merit
It makes sense, but it's too difficult for most people, so now the altcoin campaign is so popular and the bitcoin campaign is starting to fade even with erratic results. Many people ignore it instead of trying to meet its requirements

Wao that is really good for you because your staying away ave makes lot of good refresh to yr brain and coming back now just need some kind of little research to know which con or alts to enter if you had kept yr funds in fiat as that would be a massive gold to get more coin.

So btc has always be the king and will be forever take a change to buy more till we see another bull.

During your absence, there was another significant change in the bounty. Teams began to demand KYC to hunters. Many of them aren't ready to give their personal data to unknown teams. And more and more often the team does not pay rewards to hunters by rejecting their KYC.

You are not missing anything. Actually there is not much life in the cryptos at this point of time. Though things are looking promising but it seems that the heavy bull that hit the market is still having its effects on it. Market is recovering but i think that the investors confidence is not so high now.

Welcome back. Hope you enjoyed the vacation and "sushi" from the 2017 epic bull run

Not much has changed since your hiatus from the community just that we have a lot more newbies and jnr members. Thanks to that crypto rush of 2017. We also have more shit posts and a regular dose of bans for the erring offenders.

Bitcoin rewarding programs are fewer while altcoin bounties pay lesser now all thanks to the ongoing dip in the market since the beginning of last year.

i am sure your did not miss much expect the bull run of 2017 which was and remains the all time high for all trending cryptocurrencies. BTC Rose to over 19k per one, Ethereum sold out at 3k per token while ripple made millions of people here millionaire by trading at all time high of 3usd per token.
Most importantly here is the change of rules for merit rewards and i think it was a means of curbing members that are into account farming.

I am sure you miss the NEW Trend of Fund raising for New projects. IEO(initial exchange offering) HAS replaced the famous ICO (initial coin offering) Methods to fight scams. 

For bounty campaigns, distributions is been done in batches to prevent market dumping of the tokens.

you are welcome back.

And what is so possible?(1 year to be without a forum).I just can't imagine it. 8).A lot has changed in the crypto space.Appeared gaining momentum IEO.This is probably one of the most important updates of the year.Many altcoins died and as many of them appeared. On the exchanges as speculators sat and sit.In General everything!).Well that have returned to us!

I believe that, Bitcoin market Will come back very shortly. Long time, the crypto market is down.  Present condition is not good. Many people are not happy. Crypto market is one of the best market on blockchain technology. Bitcoin is very useful. Everyone needed wait and believe Bitcoin.

I also have the impression that it is 2018 at least in the last week. Deja vu? Market reversal was only enough for six months and then with varying success.

you suspended animation at the right time. where crypto experienced a downturn during 2018. And you are back again with the renewal of IEO, where ICO has been abandoned by investors. and we begin a new hope to welcome the coming bullrun, which in my opinion is soon. be prepared to collect coins, because when this decline occurs again, find the support area to buy

Here is just now a very good opportunity to buy coins and further wait for the growth of the cryptocurrency market. I think that we will see global market growth in 2021.

Oh, man, finally you are here! We have survived crypto apocalypse and many of us are gone forever or banned here. People are trying to discuss anything now, just to remain active. It's hard to discuss anything interesting nowadays, because there are few news, so people have to discuss altcoins  ;D

Change is an inevitable factor in the crypto space and it is evident on bounty. The situation of bounty is not like it used to be. Whoever is just coming in newly or as been around for a long time, but took a break like the OP, need to relearn a lot of things. The world is really changing, which means bounty and crypto in general, cannot be stagnant.

Everybody believes BTC, because of that we are here, but l have doubt that it can happen shortly. BTC needs a lot of time, l hope BTC will get better in 2020. This event is neither bad nor good right now. We must be patient about it, the crypto world has passed a big challenge, a bit patient is enough. Crypto is our exit way from bad world to peace. The 1-year timeframe is not enough in order to determine the successful comeback or just one of the failed attempts.

The market has change a lot over the past years, it dump and it pump but right now its cheap so buy again. I’m also planning to buy the good coins and hold until next bull run or next years because of so many good speculation. Change will always happen, we need to adopt it and survive for another year, trust every part of your coins.

To be brutally honest, nothing has happened last year and things in crypto space has only been active when IEO and btc came rising back. If you are talking about what you miss last year, then the good news is there is none. It was all about panic dump and depressing stories. Meanwhile, in this year, you have missed the great returns of IEOs few months back but it's not profitable  now and not sustainable new format of ICO.

You are back in a timely manner ... because now the price of bitcoin has returned to high as in the past year, although not too far away because now the price of bitcoin is still at $ 10,000+. there has been a slight decline from the bounty projects that have been available so far ... many projects are not paid and many projects whose coin prices fall while in the market ... but in the past few weeks the development has begun to appear ... and there have been many quality projects starting .

This market will be better again, we are expecting more and more projects that will be created so we have a lot of opportunity to work on bounty, but it we need to be realistic and to accept the current situation as sometimes it's not instant that the market will fully recover.

It needs time and the good thing is that this market started to recover.

IMO, it's easier to just monitor the price of bitcoin and as what we are seeing now, a slow recover would not help a lot for the entire market to be lively again, maybe we need more than that like a new ATH to be born.

Coming into the crypto space, whether you have been here before, or that you are just coming in newly, requires a lot of orientations and if there is no one to do it, it can be accessed online and particularly on this forum. Not only that, so many people have made videos and pdf documents to make the learning process easier, faster and better.

If we have to tell you for a year you are not here, too much for us to spend time on that. 2017 is not too many altcoins, and now there are thousands of altcoins. Both successful and non-successful ones. The most important thing is that altcoin is not only under the ICO, but also under the STO. I think there are very many developments with altcoins at the moment. Moreover, the blockchain competition with smart contracts is different.

state of the market is very down. At the beginning of 2019 the price of bitcoin decreased to $ 3,500 and began to improve in the middle of this year. and for the bitcoin campaign it is very reduced and also the payment from the bitcoin project is very small. while for altcoin projects quite a lot but some of the projects are scams. and also often the gift token payment is delayed until an unspecified time. of course this condition makes all the bounty hunters complain. hopefully in 2020 the situation of the crypto market will improve.

Welcome back dear I am wondering why you leave us in Bitcoin forum talk. You are experienced and most senior personality of Bitcoin talk forum, glad to read our arguments you are absolutely right nowadays majority topics are only Altcoins, Hope you will again guide us and will share good knowledge about crypto projects.

Undoubtedly the main innovation for this year was the emergence of IEO. But on major exchanges, promising coins that can give a quick profit are snapped up very quickly — demand far exceeds supply. It is also interesting that the long-awaited trading futures on Bitcoin began to trade, perhaps over time it will help to attract big money to the cryptocurrency industry. Well, many more are waiting for the release of the TON coin from Telegram and Libra from Facebook.

There were no interesting projects from one year ago. I think the choice you made to take a break from the crypto world is the right choice. You will not be affected by fake ICOs or fomo made by people. And I think you understand that. Just want to say welcome back to the jungle: D

And this expected halving once again is also one of those incoming good news for the entire market, the after effect of halving might bring another good run.
You just need to read around and follow news regarding to those upcoming and ongoing updates which is already spreading. Take your time to do your research and catch up with things that you need to refresh. Most of the time people who leaves this industry only needs some refreshers to follow the trend and be educated back.

Not much has changed in this forum, it's just that you missed the transformation from ICO to IEO, and good projects are very rarely found during your vacuum.
In the past year the price of Altcoin dropped dramatically in the market, until now the price of altcoin is still bleeding and signs of an increase will not yet be seen, that's why do people talk more about altcoin than bitcoin.

Welcome back jak maybe you will get many news about bitcoin and altcoin after one year you left bitcointalk forum, maybe you get any update information in bitcointalk forum where many feature with bitcointalk forum now, I am happy when many people want back to bitcoin and altcoin although bitcoin or altcoin not good price now, keep patience and always optimist with bitcoin or altcoin.

hi jak3 ..
for a year yesterday the condition of the crypto market was bad. bitcoin fell to $ 3k and the value of eth also dropped to $ 100. many prize hunters and investors suffer losses because most of the ICOs that they follow are scams. I was thinking maybe this is the end of bitcoin and cryptocurrency. but I was wrong starting in February yesterday the price of bitcoin began to rise again. I hope this good situation will continue.

There are still many campaigns just like used to, but the participants is less because the campaigns are not profitable like year ago. What happened is crypto is not fully recovery yet after it's big crash. So, we'll wait another year for that

its really a long holiday and a sweet one has market was bearish since then even now we are still in a dip and hoping it stop soon as every lottle pump brings a dump but am seeing a little turn out soon .

The number of bitcoin campaigns has decreased over time, but price of bitcoin has increased as compared to altcoins. Nothing important happened except the number of bounty campaigns has decreased significantly. One can get hardly a few of good bounty campaigns at present. I think people are losing their faith in bounty campaigns.

I cannot explain one by one the problems that have occurred in this industry since the last period, but the main problems that are currently being discussed in this forum such as the fall in the worst altcoin prices throughout this period and also many cases of fraud ICO projects. but there is one thing that has become a new investment trend such as investing in IEO projects.

Because you drop by I’m altcoin section so basically the discussions here are Altcoins but if you are going to bitcoin section then maybe you’ll read different thing

Actually what you’ve missed is the continues price falling,the scamming and hacking of big sites aside from that are the Fuds(in which common issue from the moment you stopped visiting this site
So all in all?all you’ve missed are bad things so just forget about those and start looking fo the good side

Glad to see you back mate, I also after 6 months rarely follow this forum. I thinks not much has happened after a year, maybe at this time the more trend is altcoin has decreased growth after the information that bitcoin dominates the market, there is some discussion about altcoin decline even worse, and there is still some conversation regarding halving bitcoin. The problem that arises at this time is hacking losses, there is no bull market and various opinions on IEO / ICO and investment.

Why some people prefer to talking about altcoin?
Because that is can make them rich quick (i think in their head).. also some bounty like delicious  ;D
I am also feel like that, people is going to altcoin.
That is not problem, altcoin make some various coin in crypto world.

Yeah, genuine projects have drought like seasonal rivers. I came back after long time too and can't see any good bounty from the reputed managers back then like Sylon, Woshib, Wapinter, ColorlessK, etc.
ICO market is near to death, we better look for other ways to make money.

Were just the same. I also stopped and only turned back after a few months. Well, bounty campaigns are different from the bounty campaigns before. There are plenty of scam projects and failed ICOs but the good thing is there are lots of crypto adoptions happening in different countries. Let's earn better and hope for the best.

Many altcoins are dead, I don't know if there is a new bull market. The market is not good. Away from the scam

Just like me, I was frustrated too because of a lot of scam projects out there, I tried investing too in some ICO's I participated but in the end they didn't continue the project, and it was hard asking for refund, so, I decided to quit crypto for months and now came back after trying trading, I focused it and I can say trading is one of the good source of income.

Ironically, i'm also back after a years hiatus and if before there were a lot of altcoin campaigns, not it's mostly all about Bitcoin. If i had to guess this is because of all the altcoin scams that happened back in 2017, which is coincidentally the same reason why i left these forums for a year. On my end, hopefully i can get over the altcoin losses and focus now on bitcoin and it's dominance.

It runs in cycles, because back in 2017, altcoins have made a very strong bull run in comparison with BTC. Right now things are changing and as we all know, during 2019 there was only one coin that worth time and money and it was BTC.

When you invested into something, you cannot ask for a refund because you voluntarily give you money to them and it is you who trusted them to take your money. The only responsibility that you needed to do when investing is doing a research about the ICO to make things clear that they are worthy and really dedicated to their project.

In principle nothing new on forum not is happening. At the moment, everyone continues to scold various new ICO projects in a constant scam. People have stopped investing and believing in this industry. Everyone is talking about ICO and IEO (which brings more money). The forum did not stop the constant expectation of bullrun. There are also discussions about the introduction Lighting Network in the bitcoin blockchain.  Ah and constant swearing has remained on forum. Welcome again!

nothing too much has changed, I assume this is nothing new.
but yes here it is very crowded now, you can see it.
of course it has positive and negative impacts, scamer is everywhere, members are multiplying.

Altcoins are now in an unstable price because of the many emerging new projects, which make the coin competition tougher.
A lot of bad news that causes the price to be unstable like a scammer or hacker's rise in crypto.
The trend now is an IEO that open a new opportunity replacement ICO.

But even so at this time the list of altcoin is also a new challenge for investors if indeed they are interested in investing. at the moment there are so many choices and they must be wise in choosing them . remember. many projecks are scam in less than 6 months and that's so much

There is abuse, no doubt, but if ICOs are dead then why are there still so many of these stupid bounties around?  The answer is that they're not dead...yet.  If the rampant scamming continues they will be, as long as investors learn their lesson.  I have some faith that'll happen, but who knows.

Masternodes?  I don't really hear much about them these days.  The only big coin that has one that I know of is dash, and getting a masternode right now would cost about $70,000.  I don't think they're as popular as you think.

Welcome back to the forum.  Bitcoin is definitely dominant, though I do think altcoins are going to make a comeback in a huge way.  I'd stay away from tokens, tho and just focus on altcoins you think are solid.  Or stick with bitcoin, because it's hard to go wrong there.

Actually, things are looking bad for altcoins right now, most of the topics are all about Facebook Libra Coin and the coming halving, all time the high topic is always on the agenda, people are always talking about Bitcoin going and down.
There's really something to miss but your one year vacation on Cryptocurrency did you good because you could have invested on project that turn out to be scam, we active on this forum have been victimized one way or another.

many people discuss altcoin because the price of altcoin easily rises up to 10 times, so that many people are looking for profits from altcoin and new people entering the world of crypto are easily tempted by altcoin.

Well, the market is a bit better now than on the bearish period same time last year. In terms of market dominance, Bitcoin still leads the pack and is expected to continue to do so. ICOs are losing to IEO in terms of investors interest and there are just too many altcoins that come and go. The markets more interesting now.

before we continue the discussion that you are hoping for ... I want to know the foundation you left this forum for 1 year ago and just come back now ?? because after you left this forum so many projects whose coin / tokens were invaluable after listing on the market even very far from the ICO price ... what was wrong so far in your opinion ??

I think after the unsuccessful 2018, many became discouraged and went on vacation, but despite the fact that many projects simply cannot raise funds sufficient for implementation and testing on a good exchange, the crypto world lives on, and in general the picture is a little more fun than Last year

a lot of updates on this forum, especially on ICO which began to be forgotten because of the emergence of IEO and many other updates in the forum in the discussion that talked more about technology updates with altcoin. many developers have emerged by making ICO / IEO and in my opinion the current discussion is more about development, especially on altcoin

Strange reasoning. People talk about altcoins because altcoins are a fairly large part of the crypto market.
If bitcoin is the parent of the market, and more or less settled on it, then altcoins are like little children who are only growing up.
Some are leaving the market, some are breaking into the top, but the movement is constant, in addition, the influence of bitcoin on them is very large. Of course, people will talk about altcoins.

Why not? It's quite possible to get rich trading some altcoins. There are many people who do just that every day. These are traders. Have you heard of such people? Or do you think that they only trade bitcoins?

Currently, projects are now interested in raising money and allowing prices die a natural death while blaming the continues bear market for their inability to deliver on the road maps. Even trusted projects are turning into shit. Alot of unholy things in the market but bitcoin remains the indisputable king of all coins.

Welcome back to the community. Too bad, you come when the market is not fully recovered yet from the market crash. after you left lots of things have happened from the huge market crash of the cryptocurrency market which is yet to recover to the fall of an ICO era. In this community too, we got some new updates for fighting spam which is the new merit system that allows only the high-quality posters to rank up.

yes, that only applies to a few potential altcoins that have already entered the exchange market. as we know until now there are still many altcoins that have not succeeded in promoting their projects so that the coins they launch cannot enter the exchange market

isn't it good if he returns when the market hasn't recovered?
altcoin prices are now being a big discount from the highest price, of course no one who wants to waste this opportunity, especially he who has returned from a long holiday 1 year.
unfortunately spam has also been unable to rise in rank, because it must be assisted by merit.

This is a fact, Few ICOs remain true and even if you make a lot of coins they are all worthless and some are dead coins. So let us not turn away from the truth, for the truth is what we see now.

welcome back to this forum my brother, many people have left the world of cryptocurrency because of the storms that always hit the market, but it's never too late to start something, this year is filled with fraudulent projects under the guise of ICO, IEO or self drop, be careful if there are projects that require KYC to be thorough and analyze the projects.

Although many people have left the cryptocurrency market, I'm sure many will come as new investors. New investors will see that the current market conditions are an opportunity to buy coins at a low price and maybe they will hold it for the long term. If that's the case, I think in the coming months the crypto market will be excited again

its reallly make us disappointed when se left cryptocurrency market afters several years we hard working and struggling to get best income from bitcoin.many traders or crypto community has  no income beside from crypto they must deciced to work on regular job to get money.and for new investor that come lately,  they get best moment when all cryptocurrencies on dip.they have less risk than existing investors.

Yeah, price is now increasing and day by day trying to recover the previous lose. It is attracting more investor but the price is improving with it as well. Altcoins are now improving more and more as new coins also taking part in the market. People are buying Altcoins at a low price but the reality is Altcoins ate on its fast recovery.

Many thing have changed since you last visited this forum. Market has been fluctuating with some notable ups and down of which only btc have been able to maintain a stable stance.
Altcoin have not been performing well since you left,  no sign of ALT season anytime soon, due to high Btc dominance.  In rerns of bounties, bounties have reduced a great deal due to the market situation.  Hopefully things will get better in 2020

For me only a few coins are worthy which has good name in the market like bitcoin, ETH and ripple all of them are good coins and we know if we will come after year so we will find them expensive coins. Right now bitcoin is at high demand gradually increasing more and more. After one year we will see a remarkable increase in price.

If you gone a for a long time one year is very long and you dont have any update in forum so you did not know what happening. Bounties are still alive and they are many bounty hunters now.
About merit yes every op that want your post they can give you merit on that. Merit also the way for your account rank upm

the suggestion from your opinion is very true, everything is worsening and many projects that only contain fraud in the end but bitcoin remains in position and there are still many hopes to be expected from investing in crypto currencies and I am sure there is a new system that will be even better to improve the situation worsening like now and I'm sure ETH and bitcoin will improve in the future

Altcoins are become hot issues in the market, there are a lot of improvements in terms of uses in altcoins. There are now altcoins that surpasses the bitcoin in terms of transaction and in confirmations.

There are still some bitcoin paid bounty campaigns but they are few and far between these days, the whole crypto space seems to be in a form of limbo, waiting for the next big thing to happen and bleeding quite heavily in the meantime, if you had joined some good campaigns in your absence, you would have been made especially with a Legendary rank.
