Much has been said about litecoin and it's future in the pass but what about the present?
It appears to me that this coin is kinda of forgotten of, almost no mentions here whatsoever of the "bitcoin silver", must be all these forks and stuff
I'm still using ltc as a temporary bagholder due to it's historical stability compared to other coins, but i would like to know what people think about it, is a pump coming? Price's been really stagnant past few days and what advantages does it have against future alts technologies?
Maybe you need to widen your reading material and news sources. Follow the lead developer, Charlies Lee, on Twitter (@SatoshiLite) and you'll see very regular updates about Litecoin's development. It's probably one of the most active alts (and has a known full-time developer!). In fact if you check now there are two tweets in the past two days all about Litecoin. As he said on Oct 21, Litecoin has a lot less drama and that's a good thing. |

I really like Exodus, even though I only use three of the alts it supports (ETH, LTC, DOGE) but it doesn't allow me to view tokens. And as I am now a WAVES holder, and I really like the layout, and it lets me see all the tokens I own, I'm slowly beginning to move to Waves. The Lite Wallet is just smooth, easy on the eyes and has a very nice portfolio layout that suits me well. MEW is probably still the best and most secure, in my opinion.

The bitcoin gold BTG Lead Developer:h4x3rotab found out to be a 24y script kid hacker who cracked and sold weak user passwords on a fourm without captcha enabled. Details in Chinese: https://steemit.com/cn/@quantum-bug/btg-h4x3rotabHis profile photo on a online dating site:  So now it can be 100% confirmed that bitcoin gold BTG is a completely & purely Chinese pre-mined ico scam. No, I don't think this is right. The guy is purporting to be a BTG Lead Developer. It is not 100% confirmed, until we see a statement from Bitcoin Gold website. Maybe there is some truth there, but there's usually a lot more to the story than what we're led to believe. P.S. There is a lot of guys trying that trick on this forum. It's a simple copy paste script. Hardly think people like that would deserve to be lead developers of a Bitcoin fork. |

I wasn't able to cast my vote anymore (yes I only saw this now!) but I guess the decision will be taken based on current highest vote? To be honest, I do see that it is fair that the devs have a small share, since they are doing all the work and have the largest investment of time and effort. But you should also see that large airdrops in the beginning have a lot of problems later. A slow trickle over a long period of time will be the best, that is, the last option, if possible over a very long period over a year.

I'm still in half-half mind about lending programs. If you recall, crowdlending was the hip thing to do and P2P lending sites like BTCJam recently had to close after years of mismanagement and just plain bad loans all defaulting. Maybe people also forgot that P2P crowdlending including with Bitcoin was banned by China long before they banned ICOs. Even with so-called guarantees of loaned amounts, it was found out that the majority of these companies were just HYIPs or ponzi scams.

I have now observed at least one airdrop project request that only ETH addresses with a minimum balance of 0.01 be used to apply for the airdrop. This is reasonable to me. I know it still means people can just create multiple addresses to receive ETH, but it does add one extra step of preventing manipulation and gaming the system. I guess not everyone would want to waste fees for 100 fake addresses to collect tokens that may be worth nothing.
Now, that to me is a fair airdrop. After all, airdrops used to be distributed based on balances.

What do you think of investing in XLM and NXS ? Any Speculation for the future ? Will they have a future tomorrow or next year or in ten years    Nexus (NXS) £100 Lumen (XLM) £50 Both seem to be a very good option for you and especially about the lumens. caused by the recent news from the microsoft regarding to make the direct payment use the lumens platform. It seems to be a good choice. Yeah, I agree about Lumens, even though I never had enough BTC to try for either of their original airdrops. It already has a wide use population and that will definitely help their userbase to grow over time With the recent Microsoft move to enable Lumen payments, I'm very sure it has potential. Future is for next few years, so don't expect to see double or triple growth so soon. On Nexus, hard to say as I know little about it. No comment  |

If you already put in so much money, and you are at less than 15% of your investment, then my advice is to just hold it. If you lose it all, you lose 360 dollars more. If it somehow recovers, which it might, you gain more. Don't play with altcoins anymore with your fresh money. Just use all of it to buy Bitcoin, and invest that in several businesses. Or better still, just hold. That will be your best ROI. Not guaranteed, but very certain to be better than 90% of alts!

Well it looks like no one saw this post - But for the record I was 3 for 3 and hit near all targets to the penny .  Ok, maybe this was just a feel-good post for myself. Happy trading Maybe no one saw it because we saw some of your previous posts and you weren't always on the ball? Well done to you of course, but would be nice to share a screenshot or two so we can see some of those hits for sure. Or at least a chart of the entry levels you made with appropriate time stamps for your calls. Cryptowarriors out here need a bit more than a rallying call, they need some flag waving and battle blood. |

do not play the faucet waste of time and exhausting time, better you start trying from trading, buy some altcoin using bitcoin, I think it's more work, than you wasting your spare time for faucet
It may be waste of time for some of us but for others that are enjoying faucets, it's good for them. I have seen some people on facebook promotes clamcoin faucets. I don't have an idea on how many you can get there, I just seen it when I was browsing my profile on it. It is waste of time to them too. Do you think anyone can enjoy solving captchas for 15 satoshi? Some users here are doing this like it is job 8 hours every day and they don't see that they are not earning money only cents. I agree that faucets are a waste of time, if you want to EARN money from them. But don't overlook faucets and faucet collectors as just dismissive people. You know, a lot of people aren't really there to earn money. They're spending free time, and curious about crypto, and faucets are just a fun way to get rewarded. Not all faucets are about solving captchas. Some are about games, and interaction. If you ever doubt faucets, see what it did for Bitcoin. Wide distribution leads to mass adoption. |

Don't you think that the problem of ongoing and upcoming ICOs is not the quality of projects (certainly there are scam projects, but there are also a great deal of really working projects backed with technology) but the problem is in the quality of investors who don't really make their research and mostly even don't care do read anything about the project they are going to invests in. They are in rush to buy any altcoins because it seems to be an easy way to make money for them.. What do you think?
This has always been an old "problem", even with traditional public fundraising such as IPOs and the like. Non-professional and normal investors really do think with profit in mind. ICOs simply open up the market even wider, with students and others that banks wouldn't even look at all able to "invest". Less than 1% of people are in crypto, and even less than 1% of that do their own research. And probably less than 1% of THAT have solid and reliable research. |

You know, you can't claim something that isn't yours. And at the same time you can't claim what is already yours. If you are in full control of your Bitcoin, like you say you are, then you will get Bitcoin Gold. It's as simple as that. And if you really want to control and use your BCG, then you must learn to spend a bit of time to educate and teach yourself. If you follow someone else, you can't blame them if something goes wrong. And yes, please just read the simple steps at http://btcgpu.org/ |

Every fucking coin thinks it's the Bitcoin killer. Otherwise, why would anyone clone BTCs code, then reduce blocktime and say "look, faster transactions!"?
Everybody claiming to have the Bitcoin killer misses the point.
Not to mention the fact, that we should keep a diversified cryptocurrency enviroment for as long as possible.
Great point to make. It's literally useless to have x100 faster transactions, or ability to include x100 more transactions in a block if the coin has x1000 times less usage than Bitcoin. The point here is not how quick or cheap it can be, but how it can encourage people to use it by enabling easy access and payments. Bitcoin has its problems but these are good problems. And it is scaling more and more to fit in increased usage and demand. Kill Bitcoin? No way. |

Who can say about the potential of any altcoin without more information and track record? Working product can mean a lot of things until you know how large the userbase was, what kind of participation did it involve and what success indicators it gave. Right now, with this bare information, I wouldn't even be sure if it'll make a profit, much less 100x.
You're a newbie account too. What stopped you from using your main account?

Even with something that people might consider a super safe haven like gold (Aurum, not the bitcoin fork!), it's always unwise to put all your eggs in one basket. The prime rule of investment is never risk everything. Probably the only thing you could risk the majority of your savings... is in savings. A fixed deposit with a trustworthy bank. That is just to protect your lifetime savings. And don't fall for what people say about Bitcoin. I believe in it, but it's foolish to risk everything with Bitcoin!

Hey guys,
Delay with the bentcrypto was because user lost access to the email on which he sent the withdrawal confirmation letter. So we waited few days just to exclude any security issues. Then we confirmed the WD for the user which was sent to the ICO, so we had to refund it later. Not the regular support request we get. However, because we get 50-70 emails daily since ICO it's hard to reply in a timely manner. That's our issue, we will do our best to minimize the answer time.
Regarding that BitGold or whatever it is. I simply have no time for it. So if users want to get that "shitcoin" they can withdraw and re-deposit later. We were able to pay everyone BCC with very nice profit (which doesn't change my stance on that scam coin as well), but with this scam - we pass.
Regards,
Alex
Thanks for the explanation, Alex. I'm sure a lot of people should appreciate the fact that almost every support request happens because of something unusual and outside the norm of normal transactions. This was certainly a very unique and difficult request. Everyone should understand not just the context of support but the context of an operation that has always placed its customers first. Good call on Bitcoin Gold. Coins are people's responsibility. Not yours or any other service. Users should take appropriate measures to educate themselves and do what they feel is necessary. |

okay, now i understand, i just have to save the private key and will import it into wallet after bitcoin gold release. thanks
I found this page in Electrum docs, I recommend you check it out. How to split your coins using Electrum in case of a forkhttp://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/hardfork.htmlI do not know if there are any chances that no Electrum servers at all will connect to the forked chains (Gold and Segwit2x for now, probably more to come later), or if there would always be some knowledgeable manager willing to offer at least one Electrum server for the split, regardless the nature of the fork and how controversial it might be. In case no Electrum server at all is connected to the forked chain, users would have to find another way using their private keys, which their cold-storage Electrum instance will give them very simply after asking for the wallet password. ALSO, I ignore if a multi-signature wallet can be more problematic, probably not if at least one Electrum server is connected to the forked chain, no idea otherwise, so I'd avoid it. More knowledgeable users are very welcome to contribute of course.Thank you for this article link. I had quite a bit of trouble during the BCC fork, and went through a lot of difficulty in obtaining mine, after exporting private keys and what not. But I think I will not panic and just wait for 2 weeks after this fork, before moving out my Bitcoin Gold. That way, everything is stable and the networks won't be so congested. I see Electrum is the recommended wallet for many things now. I should consider switching to it permanently! |

Hi there, I actually did read your post and thought some of it was good. But then I also did something in line with your advice on some alts and am now suffering to no end. Of course, I am not blaming you don't worry, I was going to buy anyway but reading a crypto expert (you) who also said it was a great move helped me make the decision. I won't list everything I own, but based on your post of October 9: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2252034.msg22777902#msg22777902And I quote: Its NOT just ARK, I use ARK solely as an example, but really almost ANY alt coin that is currently trading at of below 45% of its ATH is a good value. ASSUMING this was not a 2 week upshot followed by a massive volume dump. So, I use my worst coin as an example. Elastic, XEL. ATH was 27,500. so 45% is 12,350. I bought even lower than that at 10,000. Yesterday it dropped below 4,000. Not a 2 week upshot, and no massive volume dump. In fact, no volume spike anywhere, it just kept going lower and lower. As did most other alts. So, everyone, just read and enjoy. Don't think experts don't make mistakes! |

I'd also like to find out if there were a way to verify my participation. I seemed to have experienced a small error in signing up but don't want to be assumed to attempt multiple registration. Additionally, is there already any service such as a faucet perhaps that we could already start earning ETH from? It says from your project that you want to provide ETH revenue stream from faucets, and I am interested to learn how to integrate such a service from a website (ETH faucet). Let me know!

Bitcoin gold's price willl be higher than bitcoin cash's price. I am somehow sure about that but you cannot know it. Some says it is going to be dumped hard.
Even the fact bitcoin cash doesn't keep some coins to the developer like what already did by bitcoin gold. 1 bitcoin equal with 11 btg and the price will be 11x lower than bitcoin cash and that will touch only double digit. The only way to really find out is to wait and see what happens! And we will see the first exchange Yobit exchange Bitcoin Gold today, according to the Twitter account's announcement. What I like is that miners from Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash cannot just move over to BCG because it is a GPU mining coin. So we won't see the wild move up and down of hashpower and difficulty. MY own guess is that it will cost more than BCC eventually, but in the beginning, will be very high as demand rises, and lay off after a month. |
