Most campaigns out there have merit requirement of 10-20 earned merits. A lot of the best campaigns still have those kind of requisites
The average here is 343, and median 212. That's far above "normal".

Congrats to darkstar and participants

It's possible to lend BTC at Bitfinex and Poloniex, but interest rates are ridiculously low.

I don´t think lending to those websites is worth the risk of losing your bitcoin. When you lose access to your private keys, you lost control over your coins and you may lose them.

The higher the rates you find out there, the higher the risk and the chances of getting scammed. THere is no easy money =/

You can also make your own watchlist.

Just click on the watchlist on the top of the page and then you can customize it with the boards you wish to follow. You doesn't need to ignore any, unless you want to.

After configuring your watchlist, you will see updated topics of those boards on your watchlist
11125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people think technical knowlege is required to invest in or adopt bitcoin. on: January 18, 2019, 01:50:20 AM
I agree but not entirely.

I have no idea how visa works and I use it everyday.

But to use bitcoin just a few times per month need a lot of knowledge. You need to understand privatekeys/public keys pair concept, how to take care of your funds, etc.

Bitcoin allowed users to finally hold their money without a bank, however that comes with responsibility over your  security.

Also, Bitcoin applications need to evolve a lot more to be easier for daily use.
11126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BAD NEWS on: January 18, 2019, 01:13:07 AM
Actually those "news" are not that bad - the issue was related to the hard-fork which has been postponed now and a new ETA will be available soon (most likely there'll be more information released today).

I think it's bad news, because every delay on the road map is a bad news. And ethereum is delaying everything for a long time. This is certainly bad for investors.

POS was supposed to be on already, or at least there should be a  prevision about the launching date of Casper or Constantinople at least

11128  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: cryptocoin guaranteed by gold on: January 17, 2019, 11:00:50 PM
we are talking only about big players of course. its senseless to think if tomorrow someone will tell you HEY I GOT GOLD-BACKED COIN trust me to look. u have 10 friends, and each one has 1kg of gold, right? you putting it to one place and issuing coins, start to use it as you want in fact when you spend coin, rights for your gold transfers to the receiver and he is allowed to withdraw it from "guarant"/vault/storage

Big players such as tether/bitfinex?

They are somehow big, and even so not many people trust that they are really backed up, because they still lack a true audition
11129  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: cryptocoin guaranteed by gold on: January 17, 2019, 10:16:48 PM
you'd never buy bitcoin in 2008 neither ))) never say never, and it's all about trust and transparency. i doubt you avoid it if everyone around you starts using it on everyday basis with its value 1Oz/coin for example.



It's not a matter of how many people are using tether or a backed gold cryptocurrency.

I don't believe some cryptocurrency company will really have all that USD or gold backed up, because this sector is mostly not regulated, so there are many scammers around. A crypto backed by gold would probably not be really backed up. Unless there is some big company behind...
11130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Definition of Winning in Gambling on: January 17, 2019, 10:13:14 PM
I believe winning in gambling is having fun , spending the least amount of money possible. Also, it's possible to make money, but that's a plus.

When I was younger I used to play poker with my friends. My goal was to pay the pizza with my profits (I was able to do that often). It was a very pleasant experience to eat that pizza for free
11131  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [LIST] Obtain Criptocurrencies without buying them on: January 17, 2019, 09:22:58 PM
Airdrops are the one I dislike the most inthis list
I Know there were some profitable Airdrops in the past,but now most of them are just giving you cents for tasks in Twitter, telegram Bitcointalk etc just to inflate their numbers. They even require kyc sometimes.

They are definitely not worth your time.
11132  Economy / Gambling / Re: MINING FACTORY ★★★ EPIC SLOTS OUT NOW! ★★★ TRUE FLIP 🐬 PAYS FOR REVIEWS! on: January 17, 2019, 09:07:10 PM


Hello.

I played about 3 times the trial version. I lost all money twice (made some winnings) and on the third one I got some gains. This is the image of my biggest winning. For a initial 0.01 BTC, I ended up with 0.0138, which is a 38% gain in a few minutes. Very good, however I lost all Money in my first 2 tries lol

I played on an Android version 7.0. The game ran smooth and the graphics and sounds are very beautiful and I had a pleasant experience.

I liked the full screen mode, however it kept going to normal mode when I moved my phone, so I played in normal screen. When I won the prize, I was already in normal screen mode, as you can see in the screenshot.

I was a bit confused about the game at first too. I agree with darkstar and there should be some lines explaining what combo made the winning. Great and very fun game.

Trueflip is a nice plataform, I discovered it just a few weeks ago. I will certainly keep my eyes in it.
11133  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How important are TPS? on: January 17, 2019, 09:25:35 AM
If we're going for a decentralized blockchain platform - how important are TPS in your opinion?

Transactions per second, or tps, is not very important.

You should not worry about scalability until you have a scalability problem.
Scalability became a marketing, basically to fool people into bcash.

What if i told you that I have a website that can handle 1 million users at the same time. Will you go to my website? Ofc not, because that's not important. Coins such as nano, which only offer scalability, are just making money now and offer nothing.

Everytime you see a centralized coin with high tps, ask yourself: why don't I use visa?
11134  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hello and good morning. Look forward to the next days and weeks. on: January 16, 2019, 10:49:15 PM
Hello, I'm new here and looking forward to learning a lot about Crypto over the next few months.I hope I can learn a lot here and also hope that I make the right investments.

Welcome. I believe this is a nice time to enter the market, after a huge correction.

Probably the best investment our there in the cryptocurrency world is bitcoin. Personally, I had the most profits with btc.

You can learn a lot here.
11135  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Nano ledger S problem on: January 16, 2019, 10:14:15 PM
Ledger nano s has a limitation of the total number of coins are installed in the wallet.
That's about 3-5 maximum, don't know exactly.

So you need to delete Bitcoin/ethereum etc and then install tron. It should work.

Make this test and tell us if it worked
11136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: cryptocoin guaranteed by gold on: January 16, 2019, 09:55:30 PM
That concept isn't anything new as far as I remember.  I seem to recall something like it being discussed a few years ago at least, and either nothing has been created or it hasn't been successful--nor do I think a gold-backed crypto would be successful.  If you want to own gold, you can buy gold.  If you want crypto, you can buy crypto.  If you want to speculate in gold without actually owning it, there's a market for that in derivatives/futures/ETFs/mining stocks.  There's absolutely no need to combine crypto with gold or anything else IMO.

I agree with this.

However there are some countries where there are real problems in investing in gold.

It's hard for people in Latin America to buy gold, as there is no ETF gold. It's also not safe to buy thousands of dollars in gold and store it in your house (we have security problems here as well, and there is a small probability someone one day enter your house to steal your stuff).

I would never buy a cryptocurrency backed by gold for the same reasons I would never buy tether (do they really have all that gold/USD?) However I understand that there is a Market for it.
11137  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Does Real Wealth Get Lost When Bitcoin "Crashes"? on: January 16, 2019, 05:07:49 PM
Bitcoinand other speculative assets such as stocks do no generate wealth.
Did I miss the standard definition of "wealth"?  I know a lot of people define their wealth in terms of how much they have in the stock market/bitcoin/whatever other investment.  If Berkshire Hathaway crashed to $1 today, you don't think there would be reports all over the place that Warren Buffett had lost most of his "wealth"?  Sure they would.


Just like paxmao said above, the price doesn't reflect wealth, but the expectations about the future wealth of the company's stock.

Market price is not the "price " of the wealth, but the expectations of the wealth in the future.

The wealth of a company are measure by their anual balances, which have some impact over their shares price

Great goals for 2019!!

Those goals could certainly be achieved in 1 year if you really put some dedication.

When I was younger, about 14 years old I learned HTML and JavaScript alone, in the 90s, and later learned Photoshop and Corel draw.
Those languages and softwares evolved a lot over the years, but anyone can learn them even now if you have some spare time.

For your Blockchain study, I suggest that you begin here;

11139  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: The Ledger Nano S firmware 1.5.5 update on: January 16, 2019, 10:32:14 AM
I never rush to update may ledger. Actually I barely plug it on my computer, as I put money there I don't plan to use soon

One thing I really miss in those updates are the forks support. Btcp for example isn't working until now. There is a support using btcp Electrum, but it doesn't support segwit addresses.
11140  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The cost of Copper Membership will raise considerably on: January 16, 2019, 10:17:12 AM
Thanks mate I never noticed it and since I'm a member ranked users, I don't have much interest in Copper membership but in the spirit of donating to the forum I might buy one at senior member rank.

This kind of donations were already discussed some times, and theymos said the forum doesn't need more money for now.
I even suggested new donators rank, as I wanted to donate also (but not 50btc for donator rank)

Copper membership is not supposed to be used for donations, but for newbies restrictions
