Sorry, but you're too late to mine $5 a day with CPU. However, if you're willing to gamble on mining new coins with easy difficulty, in the hopes that 1 cent today will become $5 in a year or two, you're welcome to check out the Alt ANN sections and look for pool instructions on how to mine their coins. You needn't look far, just up til October will do. If you want a better source focused only on Alts, also join Bitcoin Garden. Similar to here, but almost all the new coin devs announce it there. My personal advice, stay away or you'll burn your computer out and get bags of worthless crypto.
10822  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: RIPPLE Spiking on: November 16, 2017, 04:47:37 PM
more and more banks will cooperate with Ripple, still have a big possibility.
Not much because its supply is really high compared to other coins and partnership doesn't bring buy volume it will create hype on the market which will make price to pump and dump hard from peak like before.

XRP is pumping just because of this partnership with american express https://ripple.com/insights/american-express-joins-ripplenet-giving-visibility-and-speed-to-global-commercial-payments/

Curious about how long pumps like these can sustain, especially with the incredible amount of Ripple in supply. More or less in agreement that there's little value nowadays in terms of partnership news, unless it's the kind of super partnership where American Express just comes out and splashes a few million dollars on Ripple on billboards and ads. If it just adds the icon to its marketing campaigns, then we've got a serious deal here.

Every day I see new partnerships being signed. This alliance and that group of companies. Let's talk about product and achievements for once yeah guys?
10823  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you still support Ethereum? on: November 16, 2017, 04:15:31 PM
do you still support ethereum?
i think my answer is.
yes i do . the eth is one of my favorite coin at this time . i look at the price in the market. and i decided that this coin has a good prospect in the future .because in few weeks the price of eth has increased significantly.  just a little opinion thank you.  Smiley

Well its your choice but i never supported Ethereum. It is a choice for those who want centralized digital currency rather than decentralized currecny like bitcoins. The only thing which i like about it is the smart tokens which can be produced as anew currecny and particiaoting in the smart contract ICO is the most hot business in the crpto world these days.

I have to say I was 100% in this camp for the longest time, and I may never get over how the DAO resulted in today's ETH, nor will I ever be fully able to throw my support behind something that is so corporate minded. But lately, I've come to accept that it never pretended to be something less corporate. It was designed for enterprises, and enterprises would never hop on something that was completely decentralized. So I guess I have to admit that in that world, it has its use.

I'll never buy lots of ETH but I find it more useful now for certain... corporate purposes. I suppose crypto was destined to be outside of anyone's private domain!
10824  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you picky with ICOs? on: November 16, 2017, 12:37:59 PM
After my short experience of investing a lot of time and even lending my own support through unpaid promotions in two ICOs... yes, I'm extremely picky with them. In fact, with both ICOs, they turned out to be quite good in terms of project development but I suffered heavy losses, to the point that they have become just very small investments almost losing 80% of the value I invested.

So from now on, it will take me a lot of courage to invest. What hurt me most I guess is how harsh the devs seemed to treat their investors after raking in so much.
10825  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Let's Stop Promoting Bad Coins on: November 16, 2017, 09:55:51 AM
Let me ask you this... if you promote an unlisted "cryptocurrency" that says it's going to get listed but after some months they are not...then there is something wrong with it and its leadership.

I know of one coin that is promising to get listed but until now it is not. For the information of all concerned, getting listed is not actually a mission impossible, it isn't hard to do that.  Clubcoin was registered in a few short weeks. FirstCoin was also registered fast. And yet some are still promoting coins that months have went by and it's still not listed! There was one owner who shared information with me and promises to deliver proof of trading in 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, their coin is still unlisted.

This is quite odd. Once we don't get proof,  we should walk away while most other guru's kept on promoting and getting paid for months and months while they haven't even attempted to get their coin listed. Are they kidding me? Promoters can be greedy but I guess we have to have some iota of ethics here. You can just be ruining your reputation in the process because of the promises not kept! Who does want to be following a leadership who can't do what they talk about? Unfortunately, there are those who refused to acknowledged that they might be promoting scams in the first place.

What is worse is that some have the temerity to be talking  bad about one program when they are actually promoting bad ones themselves. Maybe they should be warning their prospective clients that the coin is not yet listed and that it has no plans of being listed...when dealing with other people's money there has to be some honesty and frankness and no more hypes...we are all tired of hypes stop bringing that to cryptocurrency. It is imperative that we do our research and only promote companies that are real and in it for the long haul! We owe that to ourselves and the people who might believe on us!



I have to say you have a harsh view of things, but I feel you are right, partially.

If a coin says it will get listed but doesn't, this isn't necessarily a sign of bad leadership. Some coins find out after negotiating, there's a sudden big price tag on listing. Is it worth it or not? And since they're not in full control of listing (up to exhcnages in the end and how quickly they respond) we can't always fault the coin.

But we can teach them to be more realistic with expectations, not to blow hype and hot air before anything is solid. We can look and support projects that keep their promises simple, and fulfil their words.




10826  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone hear about lite classic coin (LCC)??? on: November 15, 2017, 04:13:15 PM
If you find a new coin, it's down to you to find information about it, if interested. If you can't be bothered to do it yourself, then what's the point, right? You're lucky the first few responses were honest ones. Then again what if they weren't and I'm not? You can't rely on information from here on a coin you know nothing about. It's second, third, even 50th hand information.

And yes, to echo others. Not a cryptocurrency by any means. Pure MLM. Enter if you like pyramid schemes.
10827  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bittrex and BitcoinGold. on: November 15, 2017, 10:43:56 AM
Don't hold your breath. Even all the exchanges listed on Bitcoin Gold's website as supported exchanges hadn't enabled any deposit addresses as of yesterday. I checked! Maybe today a few will start, but most of them operated on "futures trading" of BTG. Even with the so-called launch done and dusted, still a lot of issues with multiple chains already taking place.

I'd wait a week more at least before exchanges decide the network is secure enough to enable wallet deposits.

Just want to add in my weight here, to everyone asking about withdrawal fees, or rather, complaining about 50k sat fee. You should be thankful that this fee isn't adjusted taking into the Bitcoin congestion since last week. If you think it's too much, these are your alternatives:

1. Move to other sites with different fees. Some let you adjust, but let me tell you 50k will get your withdrawal confirmed in > 5 days at current network. Some don't charge fees, but have a wagering requirement on your deposit (3x even is normal, so you willing to wager 3x before you can withdraw?)
2. Try and keep your withdrawals together. Instead of cashing out every min amount, why not cash out larger amounts? It also saves your wallet from having so many inputs (and making your next spend very expensive).

10829  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Casino / Betting coins - collection & speculation thread on: November 14, 2017, 12:47:39 PM
Out of the entire list, I will only single out BitDice and Monsterbyte. Why? For the simple reason that the others are brand new ideas and concepts, launching ICOs to develop the ideas. In other words, no working product.

BitDice, I will be upfront, I am in their promotion campaign, so this already means I support it. Solid business, many years of successful operation and highest reputations. Biggest dice game bankroll with provably fair principles. Their ICO was done to expand their casino and update many new features to BitDice 2.0.

MonsterByte, also another old player in provably fair games. They launched an ICO to also expand the casino and sportsbook, upgrade their looks and improve their sportsbook betting.

Both are offering dividends to ICO investors.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jessedamiani/2017/11/07/what-bjorks-cryptocurrency-paired-album-means-for-the-music-industry/#13b3f4b113d8

Quote
Björk announced that not only would she accept cryptocurrencies as payment for her 10th album, Utopia—she'll also give away 100 AudioCoins alongside any purchase.

Do I think AudioCoin is at the cutting edge of blockchain technology?  No. 

Do I think a huge celebrity endorsing a product could be profitable?  100% yes.  Bjork is not some passing fad like DJ Khaled who's fans are broke teenager, she's a cultural icon.  Her fans take her serious and have money to invest.

Album release is on the 24th November.  I'll be HODLING.



Do I agree that Bjork is a huge celebrity and pop icon. 100% yes. I may not enjoy her music, but I can fully appreciate her as a statement of music. She may not have the adoring legions that is commanded by the likes of Bieber and what not, but they are the ones around for a long time and I believe more to the demography of cryptocurrency.

Does that mean I will buy and hold Audiocoins? Not really Tongue I won't mind getting free coins if I did buy her album though. Now... when was the last time I bought an album, hmm.
10831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Who is pumping Bitcoin Cash? on: November 14, 2017, 08:38:09 AM
BCH being promoted as: "in the best interests of businesses and retail users" by the same group that is disrupting the crypto market doesn't make sense.     No retailer is going to go for BCH or any crypto for quite a while now,  By that time, it will become common knowlrdge that BCH is not sustainable in the long run.

Call me a conspiratory theorist but there is more to this than meets the eye.

I believe bitcoin is a grave threat to the centralised banking system.   They have the most to loose if bitcoin survives long term.

Sure Ver et all can make some money form this pump and dump but its not really about BCH, it's about who controls the number one bitcoin.

I expect there to be a lot more FUD going around and things will get rougher.

Keep an eye on DCG and the upcoming futures exchange CME .   The future exchanges are the ones that have made gold price rigging common practice.   The banks get caught, slapped wrist, pay a tiny fine and go and do it again.

Exactly right. It has now been 3 and a half months since Bitcoin Cash launched. Not even counting all the marketing done before the launch, has anyone actually seen any merchant accepting BCH? Has anyone seen a signature campaign paying in BCH? Has anyone even seen a dice site letting you deposit BCH?

The best interests of people are served when the people are using it. It is not in their interest at all to migrate from a stable Bitcoin to a Bitcoin Cash that seems to be having equihash problems even so early on.

The only interest BCH is serving now is obvious.
10832  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BTG Dev's Allot Themselves 8,000 BTG's Worth $50 Million USD @ Launch on: November 14, 2017, 07:20:10 AM
Guys, don't need to blame Bulgarians or Chinese or whomever. We don't call Americans or Carribeans greedy if Roger Ver does something similar or McAfee launches altcoin ICOs, do we?

Fact is, BTG was an alt from the start, forget the motto of "let's decentralize bitcoin again". They needed to premine to make millions, they successfully did it. The yobit listing now looks like a dump futures listing (and all others who listed futures of course). They probably all bought it up cheaply and will slowly flood the exchanges and fleece BTC from everyone.
10833  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which part of the world generates more ICO projects? on: November 13, 2017, 06:15:05 PM
Based on jurisdiction, most ICOs are actually based in Western Europe, from my observation, due to either lax or welcoming regulations regarding ICOs and crypto.

But based on actual people managing and running, definitely Russians or Eastern Europeans. Partially due to their capacities - a lot of these countries invested heavily in the IT and computer engineering sectors. So the expertise lies with them.

Funders/backers, I think partially Eastern Europe and a lot of East Asians. Hard to say, though as this info is seldom transparent.
10834  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: eXperience Points [XP] ENGLISH on: November 13, 2017, 11:36:06 AM
I think that developers should not participate in the production of PoS - https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xp/address.dws?3.htm.
It looks very dangerous, the developer daily has a lot of coins that sell ...

See here - 258d5309a74b98b7...   1853116   2017-11-04 00:19:13   - 999,999,999.998767 XP   61,785,942,433.145164 XP

I think that if the developer stops participating in the development, it will be an interesting project!
Waiting for developer's answer...


Im no longer involved with XP as posted in the original thread/op (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1590538.0).
30+ billion coins have already been given to the new development team which took over this coin over 6 months ago.
The new dev is implementing a change in the wallet in January reversing POS, so POS will not work for people with the largest number of coins, its a little contraversial but fair for people with smaller holdings.
My share is available for investors to purchase should anyone wish to buy a large stake of XP.
Hope that information helps!

I thought the age of premining is over, but it seems it's still very much alive, even with PoS coins! Dev: you killed this when it was still an infant, launched propoerly barely a month ago and already 30+billion coins?

Even with the POS reversal, how on earth is anyone going to believe in the fairness of this? Reversal at this stage isn't controversial, it's wholly inadequate. And now you've washed your hands clean and want to sell your billions.

Just my honest take. Not an attack, I just want you to hear the opinion of someone who clicked this link out of interest, and then lost it seeing this update.
10835  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][PRE - ICO] 🚀50% Bonus🚀The first marketplace for Forex traders & brokers on: November 13, 2017, 11:03:34 AM
Who is the target audience of your project? How do you plan to attract them to work on your platform?


Everyone will benefit from our platform:
Brokers: all companies, which provide online trading on the currency and crypto- currency exchanges.
Two categories of brokers will participate in the system:
Traders – private investors, participants of speculative trading on the currency markets who place particular importance on the accuracy of trade execution, speed of transaction processing and an honest and quick withdrawal of funds.
IB – partners of brokerage companies who place importance on the reliability of interaction with the broker, on the accuracy and timeliness of settlements.

In the future, we plan to use our platform in the different business areas (freelancers, transferring money and other different services where client want to freeze the deposits until the set of action completed by the end company)

So in other words, (commenting on your final point), you wish to set up a way for people to conduct escrow? I would definitely use this platform if that feature were included. I'll tell you my idea:

1> You've got all kinds of traders who provide signal services. But people don't want to pay unless they get signals.
a> Trader sets up a service that sends signals and trades forex on this platform.
b> Subscribers pay up front for the service.
c> if the service triggers the platform smart contract requirement, then subscriber fee is released.
d> if not, signals fail, then payment returned to subscriber.
10836  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: DomRaider - Decentralized blockchain auctions in real-time on: November 13, 2017, 09:49:34 AM
Does anyone know if there has been an auction already planned using DomRaider? Just came across this project which reminded me of an Ethereum Dapp released perhaps a year ago, can't remember its name now but it was also along similar lines of blockchain-based auctions, for transparency etc. Personally, don't know if any of the big auction houses will want to deploy an app to assist them since the traditional auction style is what really appeals to people at Christie's etc.

But once very good use I can think of: law enforcement auctions. Like how the FBI auctioned off Bitcoins? no one really knows how that went or how it was won.
10837  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SegWit2x — can it happen despite of its cancellation on: November 12, 2017, 07:31:51 PM
How do you think, can SegWit2x happen even after it was cancelled? People, who deal with crypto and heard the news that this event is possible are lost. Bitcoin is losing its positions. What now?
Your opinion about altcoins if the fork happens.

Just to be clear on language, the actual announcement only talked about a suspension, not a cancellation. Of course, the content in its entirety effectively said that they would not pursue Segwit2x plans. However, it says that there may definitely come a time to once again examine the issue, but it has to be pointed out here that even Bitcoin core has never been against an outright hard fork PROVIDED they were confident that it was relatively safe, secure and warranted.

So Segwit2x may not happen, but hard forks similar to it may one day come to happen, with CONSENSUS. That is what the announcement finally agrees to.
10838  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I'll never buy Bitcoin cash on: November 12, 2017, 05:55:24 PM
I for one would rather move to ETH than Bitcoin Cash, although from the FUD and hype it does seem an aggressive push to push Bitcoin off the top block has occurred I don't think its that simple. Bitcoin Cash isn't that great either it will hit the same issues that Bitcoin has eventually. Its not a solution but the way some have gone about pushing how everyone has to move to Bitcoin Cash is a reason I won't. If I wanted to be dictated to about my own finances why would I bother with Crypto? If its becoming like FIAT then it actually damages its own future.



That's right. The very fact that it is premeditated and coordinated has made me really loathe these guys. They all claim to be the real Bitcoin and thump the Satoshi whitepaper like it's a bible and yet they don't seem to realise that they're making a scornful take on it with all this talk about money, prices, and how Bitcoin has held back the price from 10k or 20k or whatever magic number they come up with.

So yeah, as much as I didn't like Ethereum, it's a very different feeling for Bitcoin Cash. They want to make me call it Bitcoin? It'll never happen. I can't be forced to do anything, whatever the so called principles they throw at us.
10839  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin CASH will take over BTC ? on: November 12, 2017, 04:19:09 PM
I don't think Bitcoin cash will take over Bitcoin. This is an attempt to push price of the whale. And a majority still believe in this round buy BCH competition cause trading volumes surging. price will decrease the depth when whales target profit

It can dream all it wants. At least Ethereum, when they wanted the flippening so badly, had found its use in crypto and blockchain. I'm not an ETH supporter by any chance, but got to give them a lot of credit for building something for enterprises, beyond being a simple competing cryptocurrency. What does Bitcoin Cash have that other alts don't in much more abundance? Quick and cheap transactions? Even Dogecoin does a better job at that.

Definitely what we are seeing now is yet another corporate sponsored attack. But let it happen. Bitcoin will weather this storm.
10840  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 100K in 5 alt coins on: November 12, 2017, 03:22:10 PM
Litecoin

Ethereum

Universa (still ICO)
Maybe to many coins. But I have tried this one. They look like the can do what they say.

Raiden Network
Sound very interesting. Good programmers.

Plexcoin
(accused of scam but look like they launch next week). Price have not adjusted. Maybe a fast profit.

You started really well with a strong candidate with Litecoin, and even with Ethereum, whom I feel is just too corporate for my liking. But you've completely lost me beginning with Universa, Raiden and Plex. You're advising someone to 1) Join an ICO 2) invest in an interesting project with supposedly good programmers and 3) Join a yet to be launched project already accused of being a scam.

I suppose anyone can say their opinion freely, but I pity the newbie who sees these coins and gets attracted. Some say they will deserve it, though, so I guess all is fair.
