11301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Next 5 years, BTC will be 50000US, ETH will be 5000 US, IOTA will be 500 US on: July 20, 2017, 12:05:36 PM
How will ETH reach $5,000 when it will switch to PoS in a few months? And what is IOTA seriously? How can it even stand on the same ruler as ETH, and breathe in the same space as BTC? At least ETH has some serious developers on it who're probably going to head down the BTC battles in 5 years.

Hi, sincere apologies for the late reply as I missed this question.

We will share our all trades once we close a position and not when the trade is open.We will share all day-trades at the end of the day and we will also announce strategic long-term big size trades. We will have auditable exchange accounts across trusted exchanges - poloniex, kraken, yunbi and will make the trades public when we have closed a position.

We have a fund admin and a legal and compliance team to audit.

Thanks for replying! Just curious, why not share when the trades are open? This was we can have the 100% transparency AND people like me can also copy trades. It's a great idea to show closed positions but it provides greater assurance when we also know when you enter the markets.
11303  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Populous speculation on: July 20, 2017, 08:50:30 AM
The price will get another pump when it added on big exchange since this coin got good support to its investors and most provably this coin can get more buy walls in future, But for now I think I will just watch them since I doesn't do trade on etherdelta.

I have not yet had the chance to see what happens once a coin gets listed on an exchange (I miss it by a few days) so am curious to know. Do tokens and coins normally get a boost in price after being listed? Logically yes, but what if people just use exchanges to dump?
11304  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How should Newbies announce an ICO - best practices? on: July 19, 2017, 03:19:42 PM
This is one of the weaknesses of the forum system, where you have to more than a full month at least to get yourself past Newbie status. Other than that, most people here will forgive the status and it won't do much to hurt your reputation - the announcement can simply link to all the necessary information (website, whitepaper, etc.).

Or go for the options suggested above. I saw this happen with a recent campaign I also helped promote. It hired a Legendary members to manage the announcement and promotion campaign. It's a very successful side business for a number of people here - in fact, by association, your project also gains some reputation. Look at the Services section.
11305  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Target Coin - World's FIRST And ONLY Bonus Paying Crypto Fund on: July 19, 2017, 12:58:35 PM
How transparent is the portfolio going to be for Target Coin? I know the whitepaper claims 100% but are you really going to be able to show us live trades worth millions of dollars? Where can we see actual trades, actual exchanges... I'm asking because if the profits are paid our quarterly I am assuming there will be financial statements as well as accounts for investors to check profits against?

Who is doing the audit btw?

Hello! Just in case you missed my question, am repeating it here... after all, an answer would be very good to attract more investors, or encourage people on the fence to be sure to join in. I haven't seen any ICO promising 100% transparency so it would be very interesting to have a clue of how this works!
11306  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Masternodes are mostly pyramid schemes on: July 19, 2017, 12:37:03 PM
I think pyramid scheme is the wrong term, certainly.  Masternodes aren't a trickle up fraud system, but they're certainly a way to create a completely artificial scarcity and reward for generating such to over value a coin.  They work well now because we're clearly in the VERY wild west of this type of venture and there's little, if any, history to use to learn from.  The biggest issue ANY cryptocurrency has for long-term value appreciation and acceptance is market viability.

Basically, any coin/token has to have a PURPOSE to be used for, and then actually be USED for it.  Clear and easy example is Bitcoin's use as a currency, and it does work reasonably well in that fashion, and will likely be far better after the August code improvements.  MANY projects set out to try to solve some sort of problem but rarely do they create a more useful tool than those already available, which isn't to say they can't evolve into something better but very few issues are currently being solved by blockchain and cryptocurrency in the "real world".

So what happens is coins end up with excess supplies and low valuation.  Then developers and holders decide they need to drum up scarcity and masternodes are the new magic solution to this, plus those early adopters and whales can mint a little bit of coin on top of it with virtually zero operating expenses.  ANYONE could be an MN holder, so in that regard it's not a traditional pyramid scheme where those at the top are forcing those below them to do all the work to get them money, but it does resemble one insofar as the big money and ultra-early holders benefit by the FOMO race to accumulate the coins.

In the end, masternodes present a novel way to secure a blockchain, but DO NOT actually add or create any intrinsic value beyond the artificial scarcity they produce.  I suspect in a few months to a years time many of these fledgling masternode coins (read: not DASH, or maybe PIVX) will start to see their bottoms fall out UNLESS they find a utility beyond pure speculation/trading.

Yeah, let's not call it a pyramid scheme that is unfair for the technology. But correct me if I'm wrong, I have noticed a fair amount of coins with masternodes being purchased by non-technical users who're willing to buy up masternodes hosted by the devs or others. Is this potentially also a threat to security?
11307  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [Ann] Sojourn, Still have coins! (Come for airdrop round 2!!!) on: July 19, 2017, 11:57:16 AM
Hey there, I'll supply my sojourn address as soon as I manage to declutter my wallets, really need to do some spring cleaning. Anyone else having wallet clutter?

Alternatively, @OP why not list on one of the smaller exchanges (yobit or cryptopia) so small users like me can use those addresses?
11308  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Nice pump today..how many more dumps before august 1st? on: July 19, 2017, 11:31:30 AM
Well we will hardly see any more dump imo

If we actually look at the graph, this current movement performs better than previous dump into pump

Major reason should be due to BIP91

it solves the problem of compatibility within segwit2x and BIP148(UASF) , the worst fear that everyone is worrying is the chain split. But seems that this current proposal wipe out the fear of most whales

It's not a certain thing that BIP91 will solve the issues of SW2 and BIP148, to my understanding. It's not even a certain thing that everyone needed will be on board, but you're right, this probably explains the current price hike.

As there is still no certain direction more volatility must be around the corner.
11309  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 'Ethereum Co-Founder Says Crypto Coin Market Is a Time-Bomb' on: July 19, 2017, 11:16:49 AM
If it talks like a turkey and walks like a turkey, the SEC will then say it's a turkey? Anyway, if the SEC really cared about Ethereum, then its premined beginnings is the biggest duck in the room. No amount of regulation can take that away... or can it?
11310  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Investing 10000€ in crypto on: July 19, 2017, 08:20:05 AM
If you're thinking to go all-in, then at least consider this a gamble and the 10,000 euros a sum you'd be willing to lose. If it's an investment, you're better off buying Bitcoins and holding it for a year in cold storage.

In fact, for a year, never buy the coins and leave them anywhere but on a wallet you control and keep. Anything could happen in one year if you leave it somewhere "online". That's my only advice.

i need 17 coins for a masternode plz someone send me Smiley

address : BnFZahKeoPh2vcWuaaLFVwbepf5gwGX7SM
If you already own 2483 Bros, you can stake the 17 you need in less than 5 days. Smiley Grin  Smiley

17 coins in less than 5days? how? Huh

Poster says he needs 17 coins. Masternode costs 2,500 coins, so responder assumed he already had 2,483 BROS. BRO is also a Proof of Stake coin, meaning you can generate more coins by staking your balance. How to do this? Leave your wallet unlocked and open. Your balance will stake and generate new coins.

2,483 should generate about 17 in about 5 days.
11312  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best exchange for Bitcoin > Paypal? on: July 19, 2017, 05:48:09 AM
If you check in the Exchange services thread, you can find people in here willing to exchange your Bitcoin into Paypal. You'll have to trust them though, as they can request a refund. The good thing is you'll generally get quite a bit more value for your coin.

Doesn't feel secure enough? Look for trusted Paypal exchangers on localbitcoins.

11314  Economy / Speculation / Re: Beanie babies/Bitcoin bag holders be like: on: July 18, 2017, 01:58:54 PM
Well, I jumped back in at $2000 yesterday and I am already up $2230+ today. Sold only 3 x bitcoins today and paid for a weekend of camping with the family from the profits. < +/- $500 after trading fees & taxes >

These spectators and critics and shills are missing out on a lot of fun and profits. While they pump their hidden agendas, we reap the profits by being in the frontlines. )o(


Wait, aren't all the frontline people really the ones paying for these spectators and critics and shills? How else do they buy BTC cheap and trigger all their sell orders Smiley

Enjoy your well-deserved weekend camping. Plenty of drama to come back to.
11315  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Most UNDERVALUED Coin to pick up during this dump? on: July 18, 2017, 01:48:30 PM
I think Byteball could be a good one. It has very active development.

Yeah! You know one very easy way to see how active an alt's development is? How often the wallet is upgraded, responding to bugs by fixing them and introducing new features. Maybe it's a simplistic way but for a normal guy like me, this mayes byteballs so undervalued, in context of current pricefall.
11316  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Critique my altcoin portfolio plan on: July 18, 2017, 01:39:36 PM
I would tend to agree with doubling your BTC as a hedge against all the others. It's true that you stand to gain the least since it's already priced so high and even to move 50% is a huge ask now but that's the whole idea of hedging. All the other alts tend to be affected by BTC, except when they fall hard.

I think that's a very strong list of alts by any measure. I would put in 1-2% on a risky alt or token, almost entirely speculative? Like one of those ICO scams. I mean alts.
11317  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is there any chance in 2017 that we can see Dogecoin over 50 cents? on: July 18, 2017, 01:00:52 PM
How about you ask about a more realistice all-time high of 5 cents first, before going for the 50? It's already incredibly outperformed in the last few months and is still doing well considering its status. Been weeks since the new devs were announced, though, wonder what's in store?
11318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin Price Drop, is no-one worried? on: July 18, 2017, 07:41:39 AM
There now, aren't you feeling a bit silly for asking people to worry when it's taken just 24 hours for Bitcoin to climb more than 15% again? Yes, it will probably go down again, but yes, this is completely normal and doesn't need any worrying. P.S. I'm pretty sure it's going to touch 1,900 again this week.
11319  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [BRO] [WEBRADIO] 😍 BITRAD.IO 😍 - ICO LIVE - Stream diffrent - Webradio on: July 18, 2017, 06:32:41 AM
Completely forgot about this pretty project for so long now, and glad to see it is finally seeing some life breathed into it. Curious that my small amount of 2.3 BROs are worth something haha. Starting to stream again now Wink

at current price you could get ฿0.00015 for your 2.3 BRO for instant sell
if you are willing to wait you could get ฿0.00018

Anyway here you can trade BRO https://cryptodao.com/site/index/BRO/BTC

enjoy

Thank you so much! Actually, I think I will just wait and stream more. I stopped for so long, thinking it was all over. I would recommend to also list on yobit and cryptopia as these are quite active in forums now.

Oh, and if I am not too late for the Out of Beta reward, here is my address: BbtySeYhAdv9WpN5fTR5pwojT1iotUj5Cb
11320  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: WTF is Nimiq- up 112524.00% on: July 18, 2017, 06:17:46 AM
For those who posting pump and dump and shits, do your research before posting. It is a new blockchain technology and being built from scratch.

Learn more here https://nimiq.com


So... this was just a pump based on "new blockchain technology and being built from scratch"? Ah, alright everyone, move along now, this was totally legit. Buying it at inflated ETH prices then selling it all  do create an indefensively false market cap is okay.
