I think there are a few core factors to consider:
1. Regulation: gigathech companies planning to launch their own crypto have moved at their own pace in a competitive environment. Libra’s announcement has put many of the factual powers to work on first stopping Libra from progressing by waving the flag of a prompt regulation. EU for example is considering it a threat to all banks and even to countries own sovereign, and has drawn it’s teeth at Libra, requiring further documentation, whist, I believe, working as quickly as possible to put as many barriers to avoid it roaming the European territories.
2. Strategy: Libra aims at being a near to world-wide currency (of a sort), where skimming off TX fees by sheer volume will be a large part of it’s income. Others may have a different strategy, focusing on increasing it’s base sales worldwide, with no intent of becoming a factual crypto-bank of a sort.
3. Reputation: One will want crypto to provide certain degree of privacy, at least in terms of avoiding cross-refencing owners with usage and bundling that to market new products. It should be paramount to clearly state the usage and derivatives of the derived information, and reputation will contribute to the credibility of the project itself.
Depending on the scope of the strategy, regulation is going to hit them harder or softer, but I’m pretty sure gigatech crypto is not going to be as easy to deploy as was once thought.

Claro que, aunque sobre otra divisa, da que pensar en términos del minorista conservador que ahorra usando los métodos clásicos: depósitos bancarios garantizados y cuentas remuneradas. En Europa (y supongo que en cualquier parte), el ahorro mediante estos métodos es una práctica mayoritaria. Ahora bien, el tipo de interés no cubre ni de buen trozo la inflación, por baja que ésta sea en la zona Euro en comparación a otros países. Uno está, con estos métodos, abocado a perder poder adquisitivo con el tiempo, y la imagen del gráfico de la pérdida de valor del dólar me recuerda a este hecho. |

Hace un par de semanas vi el reportaje de Netflix sobre Cambridge Analytica y su uso ilícito de los datos procedentes de Facebook ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9358204). Ya conocía bastante bien el caso, pero resultó interesante ver los testimoniales de parte de los implicados como Brittany Kaiser, y como el mundo de contactos elitistas facilitó que ellos fuesen construyendo su gran castillo de naipes, sustentados en nuestra privacidad. La NSA hace tiempo que tracear las cadenas de TX de Bitcoin y de otros criptoactivos, y tirando del hilo pueden llegar muy lejos en la identificación de poseedores y usos realizados. Sea para identificar o explotar comercialmente, todo lo que hacemos se almacena y explota en mayor grado de lo que nos imaginamos. |

<…> Sorry cannot upload images cause forum prohibit it too.<…>
You’ve become a Jr. Member today, so therefore you may now edit yout OP and posts images if you consider it will help you to clarify your problem. Just make sure you do not post any personal or private information (it’s not something that happens too often, but every now and then someone slips their private keys onto a post or an image) without being fully aware of the implications. |

Nearly a year ago you were claiming that: We can build any Rental , Exchanges , Sales softwares
The question in the OP seems to water down that assertion. Software creation requires many prior steps, being one of the primal ones to create an exhaustive functional and technical requirement description, and then exploring the platform that best matches those requirements (or go for a custom build approach is nothing else seems fit). Many projects fail for not performing these steps with the necessary dedication, only to find out later down the road that the chosen platform does not meet the functional or flexibility needs. In any case, an Exchange is no small matter. Taking custody of other peoples crypto assets, and being a center piece to their trades needs a professional team behind, with clear knowledge and know-how of what they are doing. The doubts expressed in the OP would lead to doubts of all sort on the exchange being built itself. |

There are two separate matters here, that could have a common link between them, or not: a) Is Bitcointalk less active overtime (i.e. as the article you referenced in the post I am responding to states)? Well yes, that is pretty much true. The number of net posts created on Bitcointalk has decreased quite a lot since the beginning of 2018 (see https://public.tableau.com/shared/CM5PFFGQ2?:display_count=yes&:origin=viz_share_link), especially due ICO/Bounty coming to a stall with regards of what it was back then. With less ICOs, less bounties, and ATH being a distant mirage, many people have gone amiss from the forum, just in the same way they swarmed in when the tide was rising high. Things seem to be rather stable as of late in terms of monthly created net posts though; not decreasing as of late. This is not an isolated feature, and since you referred to an article that looked at Google trends, let’s look at it from a broader perspective (i.e. 5 years instead on 1 year and comparing Bitcointalk with Bitcoin): The two charts have quite a similarity. That is to say, as expected, sways to and from Bitcointalk are pretty much related to the sways on Bitcoin itself. Note that Google trends is fine as a reference tool, but subject to some drawbacks: - It can, at times, be allegedly manipulated (see Google Trends went crazy for the Btc search). - It is based on the relative value of searches of a term vs all searched terms, and does not display absolute values (see re:Google Trends went crazy for the Btc search). b) Is Bitcoin Community moving over to Reddit? The stats I referenced ( https://subredditstats.com/r/Bitcoin) show (scroll down the stat) that comments per day is receding pretty much over the past few months (except for July 2019 where it was pretty high for some reason). On the other hand, the subscriber cumulative chart shows a nice surge between 137k subscribers in 2019. Bitcointalk in the same period has 157K new accounts (see Statistics of user registrations on Bitcointalk 2017-2019). Granted that many of those Bitcointalk created accounts are twat-a-bot type accounts, but I cannot say what goes on on Reddit to compare this side-effect. Now whether the r/Bitcoin is really gaining adepts from Bitcointalk, in a clear transfer of “core” contributors is something I do not know, and cannot really see referenced here numerically. Either way, I’m pretty sure both environment have posters and content of all sorts, good and bad, but it would be interesting to get some insights from people that are usual contributors on both r/Bitcoin and Bitcointalk to compare from a perceived quality point of view. For the time being, I have seen no objective proof to that effect. |

Rather than a line, I prefer vertical bars in this case. If added an additional tab near the end called "Received Merit Subsection 2” where you can filter by one or more subsections. Selecting a single subsection is optimal, but some combinations will makes sense whilst looking fine on the chart (selecting all subsections looks dreadful). The result is something like this ( https://public.tableau.com/shared/WD42KC77P?:display_count=yes&:origin=viz_share_link): |

Where did you get that impression? I’d genuinely be interested in knowing the arguments that back the assertion stated in the OP, as well as the scope of "core" in it’s context. Besides the quality side to discussions that can be taking place in one and another platform, there is also the quantitate side. On this latter measure, I’ve come across a site that claims to provide stats on reddit, and for Bitcoin it shows as follows: https://subredditstats.com/r/Bitcoin If the numbers are true, the interesting ones would be Comments per Day (917) and Posts per Day (146). I’m not a Reddit user, so I can’t tell if those numbers are good, great or what. Quality comparison wise I where it would be interesting to expand, and that is why I wanted to know what backed the initial OP' assertion. |

I haven’t posted on recent merits in this manner for sometime, so here’s an update: What I’m showing is merit distribution over the last 10 weeks (weeks 28 to 37), with all previous data aggregated (2018 and 2019 "compress") in order to reduce the number of columns. Week 37 is still partial (lacking the weekend’s data). I’ve highlighted in yellow the most significant changes over between the last two complete weeks: Bitcoin Discussion and Development & Technical Discussion have gone down a fair share. On the other hand, Economics (WO?) and Market Place have boosted, whilst some Local Boards have lingered (French, German, Italian, Turkish). Beginners & Help has picked-up a bit, so has Politics & Society, whilst Meta has dropped a respectable amount (will recover this week I see). It would be nice if users would receive some notifications every time they receive merits. <…>
Perhaps @Piggy could add it to his notifier, although I think he’s not very active lately and may be short on spare time. It would be nice for this (and the mention notifications) to be inner forum features, but I don’t believe we’ll see them on the current platform (Epochtalk has the mention notification feature, and could perhaps expand it to merit notification). |

There was a similar thread this Summer in Beginners & Help (see [TRIVIA] THE TOP 20 UID OF BITCOINTALK). There’s a bit (not much) of additional information there with regards to some of the first created profiles on the forum, and whether they are still active or not. |

I’d prefer simply to be able to visualize the number of earned merits over the total amounts of merits (i.e. Merit: 9/509). Seems simpler that having a range of different representations for each rank, and pretty explicit of what normally one may be interested to see. <...>
Right ... perhaps Bold instead of green, or just bold, or not even bold. Just being able to see both numbers would be easy to interpret. |

Lástima que el Watford sea actualmente el último clasificado en la Premier League (1 punto sobre 12). Claro que es un club pequeño, originario de unos 96.000 habitantes, pero se puede permitir tener como entrenador a Quique Sánchez Flores. Ahora bien, la iniciativa es excelente para crear awareness y buzz entorno a Bitcoin, lo cual va de la mano con el negocio de Sportsbet. Claro que el logo de Bitcoin en la manga de las camisetas es sólo el principio, y han puesto en marcha un montón de iniciativas para los aficionados del club que permiten una inmersión en el uso de BTC (ver https://bitcoin.watfordfc.com): Poner un mensaje en los Billboards del campo a razón de 1,5 BTCs por minuto, jugar en el campo (evento especial) con el “Crypto United” a razón de 1 BTC, etc. |

No acabo de ver dónde la ganga para el comprador del dinero robado desemboca en una situación donde éste esté tranquilo a lo largos de los próximos años. Por lo que he comprendido, el hacker se hace con dinero FIAT en formato electrónico, procedente de cuentas bancarias y demás. Luego lo vende a cambio de cripto a precios de derribo.
El comprador, de recibir realmente el dinero (y no ser timado en el proceso), recibirá dinero robado en una cuenta bancaria, paypal o Western Union (o similares), quedando traza de ello y, por tanto, estando en peligro constante de recibir alguna visita desagradable para tener una charla amistosa acerca del origen de los ingresos.
Bajo un punto de vista económico se comprende (ética aparte), pero el riesgo incurrido es notable (supongo que el nivel de riesgo va por países, y cómo éstos investigan los fondos robados, añadido a las consideraciones internacionales y sus acuerdos).

No sé si hay información acerca de los volúmenes de los DEX, o bien si éste es tan sumamente pequeño en proporción, que ninguno figura en los exchanges listados en los gráficos. Bajo un prisma global, los listados son pocos en número, y está claro que la concentración puede tener consecuencias de peso en el caso de un hackeo de entidad sobre uno o más de ellos. No obstante, lo que sería más interesante conocer es el grado de exposición máximo en caso de hackeo de cada uno de ellos. Es decir, cuántos BTCs están realmente depositados en un Exchange en un momento dado (me da igual internamente si está en cold storage o no). Este dato sería para mí más relevante que el volumen de intercambio, al poderse contrastar con el volumen de BTC globales y derivar su proporción y peso. |

note: skipped week -> 20/07/2019 That is an additional 7 customized lists this last week, 104 new net Trust relations and 44 new net Distrust relations. In addition, I've detected the Profiles that all trust eachother:- 7 members where all trust all: 5 cases (complete graph networks) - 6 members where all trust all: 38 cases (complete graph networks) - 5 members where all trust all: 170 cases (complete graph networks) - 4 members where all trust all: 521 cases (complete graph networks) - 3 members where all trust all: 1.018 cases (complete graph networks) - 2 members where all trust all: 2.270 cases (complete graph networks) I’ve listed them in the last tab ("All trust All circles") of the Base File. Note: Google Fusion Tables will stop being accessible from 3rd of December 2019 onwards. To that effect, I will no longer be able to continue to publish the Customized Trust Network as is.
The data has 2 parts:
- The table of data, where by applying filters on can see who trusts whom.
- The cool graph part.
Migrating the former (data + filters) to the Dashboard for example is not much of a hassle. The later (graph) alas lacks a proper alternative to migrate to that is open to everyone, and that requires no (or barely) any requirement.
If anyone is interested in that I keep the data part (not the graphical part) then let me know to plan ahead (otherwise I may scrap it). |

Si Potus solo fuese el único … La UE lleva tiempo siendo tibio con las criptodivisas por considerarlas aún de “impacto limitado” … hasta la que Libra amenaza todo el engranaje. Francia la tilda de un riesgo incluso para la soberanía de los países, y el BCE (Banco Central Europeo) quiere que se imponga una normativa muy estricta para Libra en terreno europeo. España se une al carro y verbaliza que "no se puede abrir la puerta a ningún riesgo para la estabilidad financiera". No apuntan a una prohibición, ni mucho menos, pero si a un control y delimitación férreo. De paso, se pide a los bancos revisar sus actuales esquemas de comisiones y tiempo en las TX internacionales, entendiendo que han de ponerse al día. Lo anterior viene a decir que, en cuanto las monedas nacionales (y el control sobre ellas) se vea amenazada de manera seria y cercana, la normativa relativa a las criptomonedas dará un acelerón. Y realmente estamos a las puertas de que esto suceda. Ver https://www.lavanguardia.com/economia/20190914/47327480671/ue-criptomoneda-facebook-libra-regulacion.html |

Aunque no sea un record de un miembro de nuestro foro local, como invitamos hace unos meses a @fillippone a este hilo, es de recibo indicarle que ya ha batido el record vigente del número de días siendo meritado de manera consecutiva (congratulazioni): van 92 (91 hasta ayer + hoy) por ahora, batiendo la marca de 90 días consecutivos anterior ... es anecdótico, pero interesante y nada sencillo. (ver https://public.tableau.com/shared/CBCYT93QK?:display_count=yes&:origin=viz_share_link). |
