Do you think that some bounty programs cheat because they do not want to pay bounty hunters by bringing out things to do at they end of bounty campaign? Share your thought or experience.
After all these years on doing or participating bounty campaigns I have experience almost twice this kind of scenario on where we have been cheated by the project itself.Not on being scammed sense but talking about sudden change on bounty allocations into each program. I cant forget AHT (Bowhead) CTX (Cartaxi) bounty programs that I have joined where they do promise good allocation of bounty tokens and when they hit up the cap they suddenly change rules in the end and we do only get small amounts of tokens which isn't even worth for the hardwork been made.

i am hodling coins, where i think that the project behind has huge potential, but besides that i like to make a quick buck with daytrading sometimes.

Everyone likes fast money. But not everyone knows how to become a successful trader. If you have a little experience in trading you can earn good money by holding coins for a few weeks or months. But you must have patience and cash out on time.
And being a successful trader do have lots of things to consider and you are right everyone likes fast money but there are steps should be done precisely for us to commit such result and it wont really be an easy stuff since it do require knowledge and skills.It depends if you are going for long term or short term but talking for good profits then I would go for active day trades,fast profit but much more riskier compared to long term.

All KYC and AML does is put tons of innocent peoples information all in one spot so the hackers can find a jackpot of information. It happens over and over and over again with centralized parties and this will not be the one time when that doesn't happen.

Precisely. Also even you or I could make an ICO and harvest and sell the info we aquire. They work about $100 each so if you get 1000 people you have $100000.

KYC is against crypto. Noone needs nor wants it.
Each information might cost even more than $100 and if those people do tend to sell out those info then it would be an another source of income but a total mess up for those people who do sent their informations online.Im against with this AML/KYC policies which it is totally against crypto but well we do have the free will if we do proceed or not into sending documents.

1185  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Georgia considering accepting bitcoin for tax payments. on: February 27, 2018, 01:30:33 PM
Confirmed that senators Michael Williams and Joshua McKoon are HODLERS too.  Grin

If this will be passed it's a good adoption for Arizona and Georgia. There's nothing to worry with the tax payers or commissioners base on the article upon receiving the payment, they have to convert it immediately with USD.

With bitcoin's popularity, there's a chance that it will be passed but yeah let's hope that it will even though I'm not living there.
This is warming news and it good to know that senators Michael Williams and Joshua McKoon are bitcoin hodler. OmG! This is the reason why Georgia was among the bitcoin friendly state in the US from the get go Smiley Wish more people in the political sector will believe in bitcoin potential and also become a hodler too.
It's sarcasm when I've said that it's confirmed that these two senators are HODLERS.

Not only because they are proposing a tax payment system and bitcoin is the medium to it. Maybe they are or maybe they are not.

But visioning the impact of this proposed tax will be great when it will be pass. Other nearby towns or states will follow as well if this will have a positive result on collecting tax.
There would be only two paths which they would either decide to hold or just really concerned purely on taxation matters but it would really be more much better if they will decide to hold or to make involvement with it because if these persons do make such act then advantage of it is there when it comes to popularizing or more exposure on bitcoins existence or adoption into nearby towns which would result in possible higher chances of adoption which will really be helpful into the entire community.

Thank you for sharing this to the community. It is the first time I've encountered such scam strategy. The scammers really had evolved. They will do everything just to scam others and get their hard earned money. It is such a pity that they don't know how to fight fair in life. I hope that they will change their mind and heart and they will not get the worst karma out there.
Nothing to be surprised of which scammers will really evolve no matter what as the trend on making money increased and if people already find out their techniques on scamming they will evolve into something unique that nobody able to see it.I have seen already in social medias about this wallet or btc being given by someone and newbie person easily fooled out that they do really own that btc.This is a new way of scamming where if you let yourself blinded with that amount then you know the consequences.
1187  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty Hunters: What makes a good bounty program? on: February 21, 2018, 11:31:35 AM
In your mind, what makes a good bounty program better than another?  Payouts, process, etc...

1. A reliable project itself.
2. A high, but real reward pool.
3. A limit for the amount of participants.
4. A weekly update of the spreadsheet.
I do always prefer on having a bounty program that do have realistic bounty allocation percentage into its bounty and do have limitation on participants.I have seen already and experienced bounty programs set too goot to be true allocations but ended up on changing it after the crowdsale which do really pisses me off but first of all before engaging into bounties always do seek out the team behind on such project and on the potential to grow and develop for longer runs.

Me planning to invest 1k $ like getting rent of cloud mining of 5gh in hashflare.io website service does anyone has good experience with it ...

plz suggest can i trust them ? im planning for 1 year plan

or is there any best way to invest 1k $ worth btc anywhere without trading cause me dont know anything about trading so dont suggest it ...


waiting for best suggestion !
Safe and Trusted? Then don't expect such thing with these kind of investment and even on 1 year duration of contract wont really give you an assurance to make profits and as being suggested above it would be more wiser and profitable if you do just completely buy those amounts directly with bitcoin and hold it up for 1 year.I would presume on having a high chance on making money compared into those cloud mining contracts offer by those companies.
1189  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Do you use Tor? on: February 18, 2018, 03:07:14 PM
As quite a few of you gamble in cryptos casinos from countries where gambling is forbidden, I was wondering if you use TOR to hide your identity. Or if you use it as well, even if you don’t gamble, to avoid your movements being traced when operating with btc and other cryptocurrencies.

I heard this though on youtube and on an article that it said it tor or the deep web browser , it used for illegal stuffs though , so I don't use tor for just like this and I don't tend to buy illegal stuffs by bitcoin , and I'm not a gambler. It's scary though exploring the deep web cause you can see many stuffs that are illegal it give me goosebumps when I search it the facts about tor or the deep web.
Youre just completely bumping a thread sleeping for 2 months and entirely replying non-sense thing on here. Tor is not just purely a deep web browser which being created for that sole purpose only. This is just a typical browser that do have its own capabilities and features when it comes to anonymity but not entirely a hindrance for you on to use it since its your own decision if you do decide to go deeper or not. Accessing gambling sites using these services is a common way even just on vpn browser of common web browsers like opera mini do have their own vpn feature.
1190  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading FOREX or Crypto? on: February 18, 2018, 01:42:17 PM
I need some help.

I already have experience trading FOREX but until now im not that profitable. The market of forex is very UNPREDICTABLE. technical and fundamental analysis are not really working. Market makers and bank institutions are controlling the market. its centralized and big banks can manipulate the exchange.

Im planning to leave FOREX and switch to CRYTPO trading. Does anyone know who controls the bitcoin price? is it still the government or the whales trader?


Even you switch to crypto it is still unpredictable same as Forex. But the good thing in crypto was it is decentralized while in Forex is not. Aside from that ther is no requirements to be needed if you want to do some trade in crypto unlike in Forex if I am not mistaken you need to have a checking account before you begin to trade.

This is the good thing about crypto which it cant easily be manipulated since its decentralized. Market moves is on community itself unlike forex on where bankers or organizations which do have full control of entire market and only small traders don't really stand a chance. Might have the same situation on crypto when it comes to movements and volatility but when it regards to manipulation risk then forex do have it.
1191  Economy / Economics / Re: popularity of bitcoin dictates demand, means more profit on: February 16, 2018, 04:30:27 PM
We should really increase the popularity of bitcoin by promoting it so we can have a good range of profit to expect because if the popularity for bitcoin grows a lot then people are more aware of bitcoin and they can just get into bitcoin and increase the demand by it and we can expect some increase in the price and hope for the best profit.

If bitcoin will become popular to many people, its price will definitely goes up.  Thanks to social media who increases bitcoin popularity.  If many knows bitcoin, then many will buy and the price of bitcoin will goes up again.  The more the demand and the supply is few, high price will once again happen.
This is just a simple economic subject which is purely telling on how the law of supply and demand works which is normal. If theres demand with less or do have limited supply then its expected that price would soar up high. Social media is one of the mediums on where it do really helps to scatter bitcoins awareness or into its existence. Profits would go into its early adopters or hodlers but for me bitcoin isn't really just being created solely on making money.We should always think on the true purpose of it why its had being created.
1192  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Why does it call "market will never sleeps"? on: February 16, 2018, 03:39:27 PM
I have seen that certain people said that market will never sleep.
Who are these certain people who said this thing? Well actual market never sleeps and this is why I like cryptocurrency especially bitcoin.
As I know, like usual market at NASDAQ or NYE Stock Market they usually open their market at 9.30 a.m. to 4 p.m. So why does it call market never sleep? I am curious. I am new to this kind of thing
I see so you are still lack of knowledge when it comes to crypto market, updates are 24/7 so that's why it never sleeps.  Grin
Hes actually referring to stock market which is normally having an opening and closing such market and do have different sessions depending which country they do belong but yet since we are talking crypto market then it is indeed open 24/7 which you can able to trade off anytime you do like and this is the thing I do really need to make money without depending on what time should I set in.
Yes, he's referring to stock market as he said because there's an operating hours for it. This is why most of the crypto traders aren't getting enough sleep. When I'm starting to focus with my trades, I'm not letting every single seconds even I'm in my job to check out on what's happening with my coins. But I figured it out that being a day trader is stressful that's why even the market of crypto is open 24/7 I'm just letting all the hopes to the coins that I'm holding and praying that it will be up someday again.
If you do tend to have both things which your job and trade then it would really be a tough job since you would really need good time management before you would able to handle 2 things which I can say wont really easy. I have experienced this scenario on where I do make trades while I'm still on my work which I do decide from short/active trading to go for long term because time isn't really sufficient at all.
1193  Economy / Economics / Re: when you sell out of panic, you are contributing to the dump! on: February 15, 2018, 05:32:41 PM
Many of us here are saying, why is the cryptocurrencies market is getting a dump these days. Some are saying is because of the FuD, others are saying it is because of regulations laws in south Korea and India which is also child of FUD. But did you know that  when ever you sell out of panic, you are contributing to the dump and you are also attacking the blockchain technology!
I dont think so because just like in the market last time about December we know that bitcoin is about $15k to $20k and we know that almost holders has no doubt to sell their btc in around $19k to $20k. So, I dont think the dumpers will be blame but we need to know that there are also like that in market.

Well, I think it still contributing the value if bitcoin down as most of us sell the bitcoin that we have. I would say its a huge possibility that that the bitcoin down since many huge amount of investors sell their bitcoins to avoid huge amount of losses. As of this moment bitcoin is increasing which means many investors as well as users benefit this kind of good news which can have a profit to sustain our financial aspects day by day.
No one to be blamed but us sellers who do really contribute that dump which is a normal thing to think of. Price would really dump if profit takers and panic sellers are on combine then deep dips will really be seen. If we are on those wise traders side or investors side then this kind of situation is indeed an opportunity to buy even more cheaper bitcoins.Panicking out would only make more loses for us.
1194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Hold your keys vs money on exchanges on: February 14, 2018, 05:09:09 PM
I think it better to hold on wallets, because some exchanges is scam... have sad experience , lose my tokens on exchange coingather! they just stole all money users..

yeah, and if we have many altcoins in our account then we need to find multi wallet so we can move the altcoin and leave the small amount in the exchange just in case if we want to do fast sell. I have a bad experience too with the scam exchange and I don't want it happens again in the future so I need to take care my coin.
As an investor or as an holder of coins we do really took the security on what we do hold but there are really instances on which we would really need to choose up or decide wither where we would gonna store up our coins. If we are an active trader then most of the time we do store most of coins in an exchange for fast executions of trades and theres really always a risk behind it.
1195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin making alts useless on: February 14, 2018, 03:02:39 PM
Is bitcoin going to be instant and free like XRB? No.

Is bitcoin going to support smart contracts like ETH and NEO? No.

Is bitcoin going to pay you for holding it like NEO, VEN, XLM? No.

Is bitcoin going to pay you exchange dividends like KCS and COSS? No.

Is bitcoin going to be completely anonymous like XMR? No.

Is bitcoin going to have the business partnerships of VEN, ICX, WTC, REG, OMG?

Lightning network will it make it a bit faster and a bit cheaper. There's a hell of a lot more to blockchain technology than being a bit faster and a bit cheaper.
There would be always advantage among those altcoins over bitcoin when it comes to feature and its capabilities but we cant really deny that bitcoin would really still remain on the top and a big community do still believe on it.People might engage into those altcoins you do mention but yet I'm sure they are still storing up or using bitcoin. We do know its flaws but same as OP said we do further even see its adoption rate and usage.
1196  Economy / Economics / Re: Why I am quitting ICO's on: February 14, 2018, 02:33:06 PM
I decided to quit ICO's. From December till now I invested about 5 eth into several ICO's. Invest what you can miss, this is what was able to miss.


  • most is sold in pre-sale to big investors, leaving scraps for crowdsale
  • much attention to marketing, less to working product or realistic time lines
  • immediately available on EtherDelta and IDEX, sure sign of little interest in token economics/future
  • no lock on pre-sale tokens, whales take their x2, x3 or x-whatever as soon as possible (I would probably have done the same). Prices drop to below ICO price.
  • too many ICO's without distinctive differences.
  • too many ICO's in general
  • too much tokens reserved for team/marketing
  • many ICO's don't even have a crowdsale anymore (which perhaps is a good thing as the little investors are protected this way)
  • ICO prizes are quite high. 1eth = 1000/4000 tokens is pretty common, but with a hc of 40 million, this will not easily go x10 or more.


Your obervation have shown that many ICO nowadays are carbon copies of previous ICO of a diffent company. There are some investors that have been discouraged because of the effects of dumpers in etherdelta which put the coin in underperformance status. Many who gets the coin are bounty hunters willing to dump the moment token get into their wallet.
Some tip to give you is that before you invest try looking for a unique ICO, an ico which dont have a resemblance to others. And do some research first. 5 ETH is  big money bro.
This crypto business is a lot of trial and error but the good thingt is that we learn along the way.
ICO's attracts many scammers who can simply create a bogus whitepaper and make off with a lot of money . Some developers also purposefully omit certain important details from their whitepaper to make their projects look more appealing than they actually are. The biggest consequence of all these scams is the decreased faith of the public in  blockchain technology which can potential spell absolute disaster.
Yes, scams are everywhere and much more on the online community and it is not new to me that there are ICO's that they consider it scam but i don't believe on it, just maybe there are some ICO that are not successful so the distribution of bounty is very delayed. As for me i will never quit as being a bounty hunter because there are so many times that my reward is helping me a lot in my financial struggles.
You should not just focusing on the bounty for setting and indication if a project is scam or not because even they do distributed but you cant able to figure it out on the earliest stage on a project which do really only aim for pump and dump scheme which we would only realize in the end and its too late to react which it do really leads up on losing up money as an investor. We should make our own assignment on selecting which one is the best.
1197  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Addiction? on: February 14, 2018, 12:12:28 PM
There is a certain level of addiction in cryptocurrency whenever you are totally hooked up with it already. But this is not just in crypto. Whenever a certain person has already developed a high level of passion in everything that he does, the tendency is that you will become so much attached to it that you will find yourself hard to get out from it. Like me, I cannot easily get my eyes away from coin prices and from the updates coming from this forum and my coins' social media account.
Not only just on cryptocurrencies but all the things that are on excess or do already make it as a hobby and been focused too much of all of your time can really be considered as an addiction and even myself can be considered to be on this state because ive been watching prices all of the time specially on the coins that I'm holding and I'm sure lots of people do feel the same on this crypto craze. Cool

I have seen this cloud mining do made their own ICO back in the past and I didn't expect that they are still running as of now. Reading up all the informations above.I will tell you this that those calculations wont really be that accurate we do know difficulty does rise and I don't really hardly believe on that lifetime contract because it is really an impossible thing to be offered by a cloud mining business.

I do not think Satoshi Nakamoto is the only person, especially that Bitcoin needs a vast amount of knowledge, I think Satoshi Nakamoto is a group. I do not think Satoshi Nakamoto is Japanese.

No one knows if its a single entity or just a group but I do agree on the point that building bitcoin needs a vast amount of knowledge which isn't really possible on a single person but no one knows if its just him or not. No one on this world knows on where satoshi is but if he would come out now I don't see any reasons for him to affect bitcoins price directly.
