I don't like ETH but I guess what investors and buyers really like about it is its certainty in the sense of direction. With Bitcoin you have consensus problems but with ETH you just have a few leaders who get together and decide. DAO hack? Hard fork done. PoS, sure, let's do it. And I am not sure about price increase after POS... it is not exactly a good news is it?

The answer is no. There are only Bitcoin ATMs, where you can buy Bitcoins for cash (insert cash or card and you receive Bitcoins). There are also 2-way ATMs that let you pay Bitcoins to get cash out. That's why they're called Bitcoin ATMs. Although even this term is wrong, because it is not an automated teller, just an exchanger that looks like ATMs

It didn't actually collapse if you take into account that all alts had a surge in price in spring. It's actually back to its normal pre surge value. But yes, the sudden spike of double distribution for holders attracted speculators. But it will recover and continue to grow after it is 100% distributed.

Also, it will soon have partnerships for 10% cashback with merchants. Good discounts!

There is a known issue for the exchange wallet, and this is nothing that BRO dev can help you with because the network itself is fine. You just have to work it out with the exchange. Perhaps if you speak up on the official BRO forum, you can ask the devs to try and contact the exchanger to solve their technical problems?

Russia and China are too big to ignore. They may have a small presence now, but it is already significant as the super rich are in on it. But once say even 5% of the population from the middle class take up Bitcoin, their economies combined will make a huge splash. They may not yet use WAVES once they get out from under the rock so it IS still too early to tell.

Do you really think top 15 alts are expensive because there is too much demand? Ripple is like ETH, false demand and lot of early whales.
Anyway, I had to laugh at the last statement. If you wanna have big amounts just buy 1 Bitcoin and wait for it to go up $100, you also make a profit of $100 easy.

Actually, my choices more or less are using the same reasons as these, but for opposite leanings, except not BCH because it is a incidental alt with no real uniqueness from Bitcoin.

Not ETH because it already has too much problems and inflated use with non-practical ICOs.
Maybe NEO because it is the lowest priced (I will have more coins with $1000) and still has lots of room.
Definitely LTC because it is OLD and won't lose fizz if it goes up. It is the second coming of Bitcoin to me If BTC is 1 million, LTC will still be 10k.

I've been watching WAVES only recently, patiently waiting for it to drop just below $4 before buying in. What I find strange is that even with all these big names associated, there is hardly any movement in WAVES price except slowly going down since the past few weeks. It's been a bad month for alts anyway after Bitcoin fork so I still expect it to go down some more. Definitely seems like a big mover, but not until next year.

I strongly believe this is a problem with Cryptopia's wallet. On my wallet, all transactions have been confirmed, with last week's reaching several hundred confirmations. Also I don't see this issue raised on the site's forum. It's a shame because we already are listed on this exchange and seem to have trouble reaching listing on others. But apart from listing issue, the project itself is doing as well as it always has.

How can you ensure your honesty as a cloud mining site, especially when they have been so many "honest" ones who anyway cannot make ROT for their users? Genesis for example. It is honest but so many people lost money when their contracts expire. Your post looks good for now, but I guess you need trust before anyone will join you.

At worst case scenario, we still have to wait 105 days for ROI. Anyone want to take the chance?

Russians have been forced to learn and defend themselves the way they know. Spoetnik is correct also, even if politically incorrect But my experience is that aside from many Russian scammers and hackers, also a lot from East Europe and America. But Americans a lot of talk and usually copying the elite Russians. Chinese are plenty too but not as loud and they don't show off so nobody realises.

Since nobody has answered your edit, this "category" you are looking for is called a "consensus algorithm", specifically when used to describe the system used in cryptocurrency blockchains to reach consensus. Proof of work is the most popular but you can see many new concepts coming up nowadays like proof-of-human and proof-of-time even.

The simple answer to your question is YES, you can. But the correct answer should be: does your idea really need an ICO? Do you have the ideas clearly specified, do you have a business plan in place and do you have an idea of how crypto or the blockchain will help this idea or do you just want to use the anonymous features of ICO. It sounds to me just that you want to raise money for a business, and use a token to raise money.

Check out the SERVICES section under Bitcoin discussion. You will see a few people promoting ICO startup services.

Oh, looks like this is over and great news for the participating winners. Good to see the posters shut all the nonsense up about escrow too, really hate when everyone thinks escrow is necessary for everything, even when no one is risking anything. By the way,,, don't forget to share the results of the research with everyone! I left my email so hope to see it drop into my inbox soon.

This is not at all a big surprise. Who on earth is using Bitcoin Cash besides the miners, traders and the few who have money invested in it? Are people waiting to trade Bitcoin cash out to pay their bills? Is someone buying stuff on Amazon with it? Are gamblers and casinos moving big chunks of it around as normal operations. No, no, no.

Makes it no different from an alt in that respect. Remember, there are millions of tx that involve moving out BCH to sell. Those are not done yet.

Normally I join all the airdrops I can find but I will wait to watch this one and participate later, as there are 10 rounds! The no supply cap does concern me, especially when there is no clear way for community to decide this. Shouldn't at least a temporary cap or plan be installed? Developers need to lay out a clear path, and then ask the community to decide on the final things.

If you're really desperate for news about DigiByte, you only have to look at Google. Or Reddit! I would stay away from this coin... it was one of those projects that name dropped like hell, building all this empty hype about big names and big games. And of course, people like me fell for it.

Ask yourself which of this was realised. If you can even show 25% things were achieved, then yes, maybe there's hope.

I have participated in a lot of coins that tried to use the free vote listing of Nova and TradeSatoshi - some successful and some not. I would not say listing on those places are a guarantee of coin longevity since some have also dropped out after being listed early on.

I am more wary now of wasting time with new coins. Even if I don't spend much money, the time is a pain. That said, looks like a decent coin to follow for now.

Both are already "in profit" so you should expect the ups and downs. Remember when Bitcoin "dumped" to $300 after the >$1000 ATH? It took years to recover back the "profits" and now we forgot about that.

Waves is encouraging more decentralised exchanges. We have to support this. The more the better.

Abandoned = wrong. This is pure ignorance and misinformation. But maybe this is the difference also with XEL supporters?
Not cheap anymore? = Cheapness means good coin? What are we discussing here? How cheap a coin is or how good a coin is? I may have been misinformed.
Developed by part timers and volunteers = Oh no, we better abandon Bitcoin because it has a lot of part timers and volunteers.
