The site might be registered in 2016 indeed but I doubt they were here since then because I've never heard of them before, I can't find anything about them online and also the website looks very unprofessional. I wouldn't take the risk and put my money there If I were you.

i see that i'm the only one with "posts" displayed under my merit and actvity, is this something for the first poster only?

You mean the posts above the avatar picture (Postbit)? Because I can see them just fine for everyone. You must check the option in your profile settings to see it.
103  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] 🚀 Adbank 🤖: The New World Currency of Online Advertising on: November 27, 2018, 10:32:35 AM
Guys, is it a good idea to give out tokens for watching ads? the end user usually does not need handouts.

I think I understand how this works, but I think that in a situation where we work with real buyers, it sounds a little ridiculous. I'm afraid that with this strategy will be a huge train of freeloaders. And they won't do any good.

I don't think you fully understand the concept here. It's an ad network, this of this as Google Adsense, just a better version with AI to prevent Fraud etc. I suggest reading the whitepaper If you want to clear any doubts.

hey guys, what about the older versions? can i still use them?
Yeah same here. Can I?

If you're asking whether they're working then yes, you can still use them but that doesn't mean you should do it. It makes no sense to stick to an older version when it has issues.
105  Economy / Service Discussion / Top API providers? on: November 26, 2018, 02:10:15 PM
Does anyone have an idea about which is the best service when it comes for providing API's to help retrieve info such as balance, transactions, etc?

I was thinking about using Blocktrail's one for BTC and Etherplorer for ETH but I'm not sure whether they're better alternatives or not.
106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do I need KYC for generosity? on: November 26, 2018, 11:09:34 AM
I'm honestly against KYC because it defeats the whole purpose of cryptocurrencies and anonymity. I understand the need of asking users for identity while investing because they have to comply with laws and regulations of their country but while participating in Bounties and airdrops? this sounds ridiculous and looks more like an attempt to collect and sell user's data.
107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH double digits on: November 25, 2018, 01:34:40 PM
When it comes to Ethereum or Bitcoin. It's not a matter of whether you should buy or not. It's about 'when' and as the market is going down, It's definitely a good strategy to accumulate more.
108  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest wisely on: November 25, 2018, 10:51:20 AM
I cannot understand the people, who try to enter cryptocurrency market without significant knowledge of how it works. Easy prey for fraud and scammers.

It's simply greed If you ask me. Cryptocurrencies are no longer seen as a revolutionary technology that could change the world. It's now seen as a method to get rich quickly but that's sadly not the case and the current market state proves it.

I'm somehow happy that the market is crashing, that will allow real investors to get in and people who are here for only the quick money to sell and leave the crypto scene.
109  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Do you need a blockchain to build decentralized applications? on: November 25, 2018, 07:34:24 AM
Not necessarily, we have BitTorrent, Popcorn time, Tor browser etc. they're all decentralized but none of them uses the blockchain technology. Ethereum seems to facilitate the creation of dApps though and that's why It's what everyone is using now.
110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Guys, don't panic! Look at this! on: November 23, 2018, 06:27:23 PM
Honestly? I know that your intention is good but I don't think It's necessary to show this picture. This is something that happens with gold, stocks, real estate, literally on everything that is based on supply and demand. My point is this, If you believe in the technology you'll always hodl, If you're just here for the money, you'll panic sell at the first occasion you get after a price crash.
111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you using a hardware wallet to store your coins? on: November 23, 2018, 05:09:08 PM
Some people in the crypto scene could be considered as a lost case, to be honest. They don't want to buy a HW and then complain about losing thousands of dollars.

A hardware wallet is no longer a luxury, It should not be something optional. If you join the crypto world, you must buy a hardware wallet for the simple reason that anything else is not safe.

If you don't, it simply means that you don't care about losing your funds. Exchanges are under attacks from hackers, doing inside jobs or simply locking people accounts for silly reasons, malwares are getting more sophisticated that an anti virus will not help etc.

Trezor and Ledger nano S have both good offers right now because of the Black Friday, It might be a good moment to grab one.
112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Miners Come Back to Bitcoin Network? on: November 23, 2018, 10:38:31 AM
All forks failed, If anyone is mining these forked coins right now, It's probably not because It's so profitable but rather they think it will take bitcoin's place in the future so It will be more valuable in the future.

Bitcoin cash that has a good hashing power because Roger Ver and Bitmain are behind it and according to a research done, Bitcoin mining is more profitable. Bitcoin is here to stay, this is just FUD and we'll get over it.
113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / What is Bakkt all about? on: November 23, 2018, 08:31:22 AM
Could someone explain why there is a lot of hype around this and why is everyone excited about it?

From my understanding, It's simply a FUTURES market like CBOE which as we've seen in the past, doesn't really affect the market that much in the first place. I am missing something?
114  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If you have to buy cryptocurrency for 10.000USD today.... on: November 22, 2018, 12:00:26 PM
The fees and the features are not the first things to see. You can never go wrong with bitcoin for the simple reason that It's truly decentralized, and the development has been active for 10 years now, we had crashs, FUD, services being hacked etc. that's not something that can be said about a lot of coins.

From what I've read about IOTA also, It's not really meant to be a type of payment, It's about the internet of things. In other words, there will be always less demand compared to Bitcoin which is meant to replace fiat currencies.
115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Whats easiest masternode/pos coin to fork? on: November 22, 2018, 09:34:29 AM
I managed to find a guide to clone NXT which is also a POS coin: https://medium.com/learning-lab/how-to-build-your-own-cryptocurrency-proof-of-stake-in-just-a-few-minutes-6d526bca4a91

The oldest one out there is DASH I believe, also known as Darkcoin so you might find more tutorials regarding that.
116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: safe and easy wallet on: November 22, 2018, 07:41:15 AM
The same rule applies, because all coins have the same concept where you only have full control over your funds when you control your private keys.

So, with that being said, you should avoid online/exchanges wallets at all costs, web wallets as well regardless whether It's open source or not because phishing attempts are always there. Desktop wallets are the way to go but they're as safe as your computer, so if your PC is infected, expect to lose everythig.

Finally, you have a hardware wallet which is something you could never go wrong with but sadly, they don't support all the coins out there.
117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance listing on: November 21, 2018, 12:54:48 PM
Exchanges are clearly not the same. Binance is number #1 when it comes to trading volume and userbase so logically, having your coin listed there means that you'll have a lot of potential investors who didn't come across your ICO and that will most then likely result into a high increase in the price. This is not valid for Binance only but to other platforms with a high trading volume such as Okex, Huobi, HitBtc etc.
118  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Order Delay on: November 20, 2018, 01:05:51 PM
An order should be placed instantly, I've used Binance, Bittrex, Poloniex, Liqui, YoBit, Crytopia, and many other exchanges and I've never got any delays. Which exchange are you using?

The only delay you should have is while waiting for the order to be fulfilled and that's pretty normal If, for example, you're trying to sell your coins a little bit higher then what other people are buying for.
119  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: any reason why BCHSV was trading at $200 AUD on btcmarkets.net ? on: November 20, 2018, 12:06:03 PM
That's actually a good theory If we take in consideration that he's from Australia.

It could also be normal because sometimes prices differ a lot when the exchange only serve one country as we've seen in the past, bitcoin price is higher in Indian, Korean exchanges etc.
120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Tezos discussion on: November 19, 2018, 02:47:19 PM
Could someone explain what is baking exactly, can we do it while having full control over our private keys (not using an exchange or third party platform) and how profitable it is currently? Is it the equivalent of staking for POS?
