10961  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: ⚡ [ANN] ⚡ TriForce Tokens Gaming ⚡ [ICO Escrowed] 🚀 Industry Partnerships 🚀 on: October 14, 2017, 03:13:31 PM
In case anyone is still wondering why this relatively quiet token is going to be big... 1) It is working to be the first UK compliant ICO. What does this mean? No worry for anyone if the project will suddenly get attacked. 2) It is escrow handled by Coinpayments.net. What does this mean? No worry for anyone if the project will suddenly exit scam. Devs get no money until they deliver. So... they HAVE to deliver. 3) They have backing of UK government Innovate firm, plus Coventry Uni. 4) They are limited company not some shadow company.

All this done before the ICO even launches.

Oh of course. 5) Brilliant idea!
10962  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Time to dump ETH? on: October 14, 2017, 02:05:24 PM
The best moves already took place two days ago (selling all BTC at 3900 and then buying ETH to sell yesterday at an extra 10% profit). But yeah, dump all your ETH for BTC now to get back the best value you can find anywhere between now and October 25. ETH can probably touch $400 if you want to wait, but the extra 10% again is not worth the risk of getting caught out between Bitcoin Gold and Casper.

Better still, keep 50-50 and just close your eyes Wink
10963  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: do you think BCC will become the second Bitcoin or reachhalf of Bitcoin's value? on: October 14, 2017, 07:43:07 AM
One really wonders who these people who support BCC really are. Where is it do you read all these amazing things about BCC that makes it so special? Half of Bitcoin's value? It's not even 10% of BTC value. So many alts have called themselves the second Bitcoin, BCC is probably waiting in line in a queue of 100 alts. If it can reach 10% and keep it there for a year, maybe it can move up that line. But for now? sorry to say, BCC is exactly what is sounds like. A cash cow that didn't work.
10964  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Wish I never bought altcoins on: October 13, 2017, 04:04:03 PM
I hope all copy-paste coins without any innovation at all like litecoin will disappear soon.

You are clueless about LTC aren't you?

Are you aware that most changes happening to BTC recently are trying to copy LTC improvements???  Tongue Wink

Litecoin was a copy of Bitcoin foundationally, but only because it aimed to improve on the Bitcoin architecture. But it's not exactly accurate to say that Bitcoin has copied Litecoin improvements. Most of the new improvements such as SegWit and Lightning Network still come up from discussions that are sourced from Bitcoin developers. But Litecoin does manage to test it first, and successfully. They have easier consensus so that is one of the reasons.

But yes, Litecoin, even if just a testing ground for improvements that are meant for Bitcoin, has great value in that sense.
10965  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Strong growth of some unknown coins on: October 13, 2017, 03:27:31 PM
Yeah. Even in terms of volume, I log into Bittrex and see some very unfamiliar names as Bittrex shows the highest volume coins to me when I login on my landing page and it really makes me wonder. Naturally, everyone here will say that this is just the pumping work of groups and whales. And I suppose they are right. But sometimes I see it happening for days and think, hey even if I entered on day 2 I could have made profit! But it's all a trap, isn't it?

Are these whales all the same people? I am afraid I already know the answer!
10966  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DeepOnion, you STINK!!! Dictatorship Spreading Propaganda, NOT Decentralization! on: October 13, 2017, 12:55:27 PM
I had intended to follow DeepOnion earlier when they were just launching their airdrops but yes, I was put off by the campaigns that seemed to change so frequently and then started to look more and more like spam.

Look, I'm not one to create FUD, no matter how bad a coin looks like because of its people. I think every project has a different marketing approach and I have seen equally horrendous tactics used by even Bitcoin or ETH people. But they do not represent the coin or its devs. On the other hand, I've now seen more and more posts about DeepOnion, and clearly people are hurt.

They should address this and nip it in the bud.
10967  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Its that time again, what altcoin are you holding at a loss? on: October 13, 2017, 12:32:16 PM
ALL of them, unfortunately. I guess the worst for me at the moment is WAVES, since I bought a 3 digit figure at 95k satoshi, thinking it was an amazing deal. In fact, within days it had gone to 125k again and I was so pleased with myself. You can imagine my shock this morning seeing that it was exactly 70k. From a 30% potential gain to almost 30% loss in just over a week.

Anyway, I understand the fiat value has not changed too much, but I bought it all in Bitcoin. In total, this week alone, my Bitcoin value of all alts has dropped more than 30%. Heartbreaking, considering how much it costs now.
10968  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin prices after 25 october on: October 13, 2017, 11:27:55 AM
It is definitely going to have to drop for a while right after people cash in all their Bitcoin Gold, but then again everyone will be tempted to hold after Bitcoin reaches past 6k. If it even breaks 6.5k, then we won't see any big drop until November. Because will people want to go to the trouble of changing out Bitcoin for a few weeks before accumulating for another fork again? I sincerely doubt it.
10969  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: day has come.. CINDICATOR will be released in 7 hours.... on: October 13, 2017, 07:35:27 AM
right now, around 4X in etherdelta or hitbtc...
I bet my balls 20X before 2018 begins.

Do you mean 20x on current price for a total of 80x or do you just mean 5x on current for a total of 20? Either way, both predictions won't happen. The most it can do now after losing all this steam (and Cindicator is a minor eruption at best) is another doubling, but Bitcoin is going to remain the majority focus way past November fork. By the way, it seems to be dumping now no?

Oh, and pics or we won't take you seriously.
10970  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: London Reports Bitcoin Above 5K... on: October 13, 2017, 07:19:39 AM
My grouse with mainstream media is how bitcoin is been reported by them. They only talk about bitcoin price alone leaving behind the weighty matters of bitcoin. What make bitcoin  to be value as we see today is more than speculation or anything. Bitcoin is solving problems all over the world. From remmitance to settlement, from commerce to asset management, The impact of bitcoin is been felt all across the Globe.

My grouse with mainstream media stems from a long history of reporting what sells. And now Bitcoin being the bad guy helping kidnappers and ransomware hackers and drug syndicates no longer sells. But if one day Bitcoin faces a real struggle, they will again sell the bad news.

The only good media covering a lot of the good things about Bitcoin and the blockchain innovations caused by Bitcoin are still the online portals. But they also suffer reputation damage as they cover a lot of ICOs.
10971  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Missing out on things on: October 12, 2017, 04:19:06 PM
For now, the only thing that has consistently proven to be of any value is still the fundamental trading principle: buy on the news. And that is the one thing that I struggle to keep up with or rather ahead of. Every time I hear the news, it is two or even three days old. The best I can manage with research is having 24 hour notice. And that is really too late as the market would have moved by then. So that is my number one issue on things I miss out!
10972  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: Agrotoken - Decentralized token for Agroconomy on: October 12, 2017, 12:40:30 PM
The food economy is growing, as scarcity is increasing in many of the world's most populated countries, even as the world's most developed countries waste more and more food. This project had better be about looking at the economy of food producing and how to make it more efficient - food should get cheaper, not more expensive. And go to places that need them most, not to places where there is too much and demand is only for cuisine and not food.

Yet another addition to the WAVES platform, this will do a world of good.
10973  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PoS coins on: October 12, 2017, 09:56:29 AM
I just invested in some PoW coins.does staking takes place only when the wallet is online or are there other coins that actually stake even when the wallet is offline? Will really appreciate ur contribution to this thread

You mean you invested in PoS coins, right? By default, PoS standard coins need you to leave your wallet open (and unlocked, as in password entered) to stake. Basically you're putting your matured coins out there to help secure the network and confirm transactions. There's no other real way of staking offline, but as others mention you can lease Waves for small returns, NEO for gas.

Or poswallet. Open an account there, let them stake for you.
10974  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: altcoins for 2-3 years holding! on: October 12, 2017, 08:11:27 AM
OMG is a good option. But look at waves. great platform and has its own exchange. more and more icos start projects on waves. have a look.

for next 3 years i recommend iota. its now very cheap and undervalued. uses tangle instead of blockchain. global players jump on it.

Also jumping on the OMG train. Also, decentralized exchanges are going to be so big. Also Masternode coins. Keep an eye on Blocknet and Kyber (once they have a working platform).

I will avoid the OMG platfrom, but only because I already got onto the WAVES train. And yes, this was before the price dropped below 90,000 satoshis, so I am currently in the losses area, but I'm only just going to buy more right now until it hits 100k before pausing. That to me is my two-three years altcoin holding strategy. I bet all the ETH and even LTC and Monero people had no idea what their $5 coins were ever going to be worth. And WAVES is a lot more than what anyone can see it becoming.
10975  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Going Above 6k Soon!!!!! on: October 12, 2017, 05:51:44 AM
Oh great, Bitcoin goes to $6000, and then what? It's just a ~27% increase from current levels. It makes only sense to celebrate if you have a sizable position into this market. At this point it's safe to say that the majority of the people can't afford to buy themselves a whole Bitcoin anymore, and thus stick to 0.1BTC chuncks, or even smaller. But still I see people celebrating and cheering and talk like they have won the jackpot just because the price goes up and they made a few hundred bucks. People with smaller chunks should be holding (assuming that they don't need the funds in their private life) their coins at least till they made a minimum of 100%, otherwise it's definitely not worth selling for.

It's really strange to see how expectations for crypto have become so different, isn't it? If you told anyone that they might get a 25% profit from an investment after 5 years, they would still be skeptical. But we have seen that same if not more in a number of days with crypto. For me, my crypto is a few hundred dollars from 8 months (profit is maybe half). That is already amazing for me, and I am happy I took advantage. 0.1 chunks is HUGE for me, if I had that now I almost double my gains!
10976  Economy / Services / Re: BitDice Casino Signature Campaign [WILL START 1 DECEMBER] on: October 11, 2017, 11:47:05 AM
Hello BoXXoB the palindromey op! Just wanted to check in here to confirm and say thanks for payments from previous rounds - including the most recent which I noticed was paid several days ago! I hope I speak for everyone in saying that we don't mind waiting at all, looking at the busy ICO situation and how long this campaign has been running, we trust everything will be taken care of.

Another update, I turned Senior, yay! Have updated my signatures. Cheers!
10977  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: ANN Farts Airdrop Waves Token only 100 spots! on: October 11, 2017, 10:44:57 AM
Thank you for the farts, I just can't wait to get them all in to my crypto belly for a might big offload at some of favourite enemies. This is going to be a forever hold, though, a small piece of history in the arena of nonsense tokens.

Thanks again for my very first truly alternative Waves token!
10978  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin Gold, Price Speculation on: October 11, 2017, 08:42:16 AM
Bitcoin Cash, with all the support it is getting and all the miners trying to prop it up, can barely break 0.07 BTC. Bitcoin Gold, on the other hand, is now only two weeks away and I haven't seen a single site or exchange offering to give users free fork coins (or can someone point me to one that does?). There's just silence and quiet on their parts, not even a statement saying "we will or will not do this". This says a lot about its viability to me.

I'm sure miners will also wait a long time to see if it's profitable, since their ASICS won't perform well on it.
10979  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: South Korea Bans All Initial Coin Offerings on: October 11, 2017, 07:06:26 AM
They did not ban all ICO projects, but ban new projects using ICO means from raising fund from the market, I do agree with this because most of these ICOs look scamming in my opinion and especially that part of the world where scam is very high

There we go, someone who reads the news item past the headline. They are no longer allowing ICOs to be conducted as a means of fundraising - fair enough. But they're not going to criminalize people just for having held ICOs or even buying tokens and coins during ICOs. But don't worry, the government is doing this for the good of people. Now all those people who ran ICOs will have to watch their work and deliver what they promised or they will be hounded.
10980  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New Bitcoin Fork: BitcoinGold. GPU Mining on: October 10, 2017, 05:45:20 PM
When Bitcoin Cash came out, we already saw something happening. Miners switching hashrate to mine profitable coin, then switching back to Bitcoin whose difficulty rate actually dropped for the first time in ages. Now with Bitcoin GOld AND GPU mining, we can expect to see the same patterns with even bigger profitability, depending on how it performs on exchanges of course. And with Ethereum fork coming, a lot of homeless miners...
