11961  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New to Altcoin need help! on: July 06, 2016, 02:09:05 AM
Hey all Im new to altcoin and was seeing if anybody could point me the right way or if anybody else that was new wanted to go a skype group w/ me and we could toss ideas off each other.....

Here are the questions I have so far
1. Bittrex the best exchange to use?

Personally I prefer Poloniex as there's more volume and some of the 'hotter' or 'in' altcoins are being traded there or want to be listed there.

Quote
2. How to tell is an altcoin is a scam?

This is what I think.  Some projects at the start, mean well and really want to create something innovative and ground breaking.  But something happens along the way that maybe what they're trying to achieve is technically impossible, and the fact that most of them hide this from the public make them labeled as scams.  And rightly so, as this could be considered something like false advertising of a broken product.

While others are outright scams from the start you just know it, no joke.  

Quote
3. Are my coins safe on a site like bittrex or do I need to cold store them & how do u do that if its not bitcoin?

Don't store you coins in an exchange.  Download the wallet of your respective coin and store it there.

Quote
4. How do I find out about new coins coming out or is it best to buy coins that have been out and r more trusted?

I personally don't like buying into ICO's.  I wait for the coins to get listed, observe how well they do, then make a trade if they breakout.

Quote
5. What to look for with selecting a coin to buy?

High volume and liquidity.

Quote
Ive never really traded stocks or anything so if anybody has tips links or other useful info send it my way!

Google is your friend.  There are lots of trading articles online.

Quote
And is Bittrex the best exchange to use?
Cheers  

Nope.  Poloniex is at the moment.  But this changes from time to time.  The altcoin scene is very dynamic.

got another rumours today

- Man city wants Leroy Sane from Schalke with the prices £40 millions
- Arsenal wants Everton player Romelu Lukaku and Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon
- Jose Mourinho interested to bring Paul Pogba from Juventus and they will offering prices £80 millions

bold - last 2 years offers and money clubs are asking for are just simply getting ridiculous. completely insane

Blame the money clubs, namely Barca, Real, United, etc...  and lately Man City.  They have been the inflating price of the transfers.

I am not sure why you put United on that list - only big signing they had (in last 5 years) was Di Maria (and it was a stupid one, and they kinda "had" to buy somebody)

Thinking back about it, yeah you're right.  But I would like to point out Memphis Depay's transfer fee is also too expensive considering the quality they got.  How much did United spend total under LVG?

Quote
There are only 3 clubs actually inflating prices in last 3-4 years - Man City, Chelsea, and PSG.

Add Real and Barca to that list.  I know there'll be more future Bales and the Neymars with crazy transfer fees coming.  The price of football is getting crazier and higher.  Sure they got the quality they paid for.  But the prices are way inflated compared to 20 years ago.

Yeah Depay's fee was high, I agree, but i think everybody was expecting a lot from the guy, especially after the World Cup when he played well.
(im glad LVG is gone haha)

Would you agree (to some extent) that Bale's and Neymar's (and Suarez) transfer fees are kinda justified? Meaning them being in top5-6 players in the world?

With today's standards, sure, it's justified only because those are the prices for them in the market.  But do you think the Bales and the Neymars of 20 years ago would cost 80M - 100M British Pounds?  No right?  20 years ago people wouldn't think transfer fees would reach these crazy levels.

They inflated the market and people are making money out of this.  Namely the agents.

Quote
I am more annoyed with clubs paying big bucks for some (lets say) unknown names... like 30M for Sane.

That's a prime example of inflating the price. Then when he performs well, sell him for a much bigger price.  

The players have somewhat become a commodity.

Who do you guys think that is going to win the EPL next year because many team are rebuilding at the moment and searching for new players.
Do you guys think that Man Utd will be a title contender again because they have bought some players but I do not know all of them.

duo manchester , city and united batle champion epl candidate seeded. coch high quality, squad high quality,
develop and rebuilding team, buy new squad team


Yup, United and City are the favored to win the league.  City has a slight edge over United though.  3rd and 4th would be Arsenal then Chelsea respectively but it's really close.  In the fringes of top 4 would be Tottenham and Liverpool.  Don't count those two out to get into top 4.

Brock Lesnar lacks serious experience in the professional circuit, he is just a WWE actor,

Frank Mir will disagree.  Grin



Watch the fight here.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TubJH4IMl54

Quote
that's not real fighting, Mark Hunt has more experience in the octagon. I think Brock Lesnar has to rely on his huge muscles and wrestling skills to try to neutralize Mark Hunt, or he may get knocked out quick.

Lesnar is a freak of nature.  He's athleticism surpasses most fighters in the UFC heavy weight division.  So I won't take Lesnar lightly.  But that said, Lesnar's weakness is his cardio.  If he doesn't KO Hunt on the 1st or 2nd round, he's chances of winning goes down as the fight moves to the 3rd - 5th rounds.

Anyway, watch the weigh ins this weekend and see how Lesnar will tower over Hunt.  People don't realize this, but this fight might be a coin flip.  So go bet on the underdog.
11967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: July 05, 2016, 11:41:39 AM
bottom line is here that currently best managers are in premiership will this effect the rest of Europe team answer Yes
Believe that this season will English clubs take CL and EL maybe both Manchester team City and United

DOnt put your hope too high on mourinho , guardiola might win the Champions league with city however mourinho will probably cause some chaos for the team. I was kinda got the feelings that he is destroying great talent with so many unnecessary new players that is coming to old trafford or will be coming

New manager, new squad.  There will always be a transition happening especially when you have someone like Mourinho coming in.  Imagine if Pep went to Man United, I think the club will have to endure a bigger transition moving forward if it was him.  One big reason why people think Mourinho could cause 'chaos' within the club is because he's arrogant and brash.  And that he's like a ticking time bomb.  But really he's one of the best football minds of the modern game.
11968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Soccer Transfer Market 2016/2017 ! on: July 05, 2016, 07:41:46 AM

Also Paul Pogba updated odds for club after summer window.

Man United 4/7
Real Madrid 5/2
Juventus 3/1

Looks like Man United are closing in on him.  Mourinho is really doing an excellent job this summer.

Instead of pogba, they should just sign either griezman or payet . Pogba is just an overrated midfielder and so far I havent seen him contributed anything meaningful for france in euro, unlike payet and griezman as both of this two players is the main key of france success so far in the euro

i hope deal and going to Manchester united, is real pogba to joint manchester maybe squad is
4-2-3-1 , striker is ibrahimovic, 3 midfield attack wayne roney, is to winger anthony martial and Mkhitaryan , 2 defense midfielder swatineger and pogba, and maybe machester united must buy center back high quality star

Yeah.  There were speculations that this could be Sergio Ramos from Real Madrid.  I don't know what kind of relationship he has with Mourinho as that would matter a lot in my opinion given their history.  But I would like to see that happen.
11969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 200: Cormier vs. Jones 2 on: July 05, 2016, 06:59:12 AM

I totally disagree. Cormier lost unanimously. It was pretty clear Jon got the best of him in that fight. Even Daniel admits this.

Maybe this time if Cormier can't knockout or submit Jones maybe now he can get the nod from the judges. As you have stated he lost unanimously but that gives him the advantage of knowing how Jones fight and maybe he was able to study his weakness since its almost a close fight that others think Cormier won on UFC 182 with Jones.

I think Cormier should be studying his own weakness in order to have a chance to win because let's face it, Jones is younger, faster, more athletic and the better fighter overall.  So instead of looking for a weakness playing an exploitative game, why not discover the holes in his own game, plug and close them then play a game theory optimal game vs Jones?  It will be a boring fight sure but Cormier is the champion, if Jones wants the belt make him work for it.

I know Pogba's price tag is steep but you're joking right?  You're comparing apples and oranges here.  Man United needs a good holding midfielder in Pogba.  Both Payet and Griezman play as attackers.  

And you haven't seen Pogba contribute anything meaningful?  Are you even watching the games?  His influence in the midfield is really great.  Imagine if he wasn't playing...  Other teams would dominate them in the midfield.

Just posting some videos.

UFC 200: Counterpunch - Cormier vs Jones 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vDE1mxWdiM

You guys have to watch this.  This is basically an interview with Jones and Cormier by Joe Rogan.  It's very entertaining how both fighters are playing the mental game before the fight.  I think Jon Jones has the upper hand psychologically.

A prefight analysis by Dan Hardy.  Good and helpful to watch it if you're looking to place a bet and it's also entertaining.

Hey guys just a little update...  I haven't been playing for a week.  I've been enjoying my time away from work, following the Euros and sporting events that interest me overall.  As for poker, I am going to pivot to heads up sit and goes.  I actually tried it today and played 4 matches which I have won all of them (luckbox lol).  So this encourages me to play more of these as I am getting bored with 6 max cash games.  

Haha, I know the variance is greater in hu sng's so be prepared for a lot of whining from me.  Grin

Our bankroll as of now is $153.49.  Let's hope we run good!

I'll take over 2.5 goals in the match France vs Iceland. because Iceland is quite good in the last four games have always scored.

7 goals was the result beyond my prediction. but I was fortunate to take over 2.5 goals.

next, Germany vs France. I think the result will be the same as against Italy, draw then continues penalty shootout and germany will win because it has the world's best goalkeepers.

I can see the totals going over 2.5.  I think this is going to be an aggressive game right from the start with both teams looking to shoot early.
11976  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Soccer Transfer Market 2016/2017 ! on: July 04, 2016, 10:27:46 AM
BVB already confirmed that Mkhitaryan is going to Man United but there's still nothing from United's end.  Maybe it's a done deal except for a couple of stuff like work permit stuff and medical.  We could hear an official announcement in a day or two.

Mourinho is getting deals done this summer.  He's doing a good job so far.  I hope they get Julian Draxler as well.

Manchester united cant really afford to get every players that mourinho wants. They got tons of players already unless they decided to let some go. Got some rumours that herrera might be the one that mourinho will let go of , barcelona and some spain's team clearly has shown interest for him since last season

It's not a matter of Mourinho getting the players he wants and that the club couldn't afford them.  These transfers and the budget are already planned and approved by their board.

Azguard, what do you think of Rosberg leaving Mercedes after this season.  He has not renewed his contract with them until now, and Raikkonen could be leaving Ferrari at the end of the season.  This is just speculation, but do you think Rosberg moving to Ferrari is possible?  That would be a fun 1 and 2 to watch as well.  Although the current 1 and 2 drivers set up at Mercedes is never boring.  Grin
11979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: July 04, 2016, 03:27:13 AM
crazy ending. I know i will be hated, but i think f1 should run 1 short oval track. Iowa???

Please no.  This isn't Nascar.  Grin

Anyway the crazy ending was due to Rosberg not giving any space for Hamilton to move.  So it's kind of his fault if he did it deliberately.

The only thing I hate in the race was Vettel's rear right tire blowing up.  I wonder what could have been if that didn't happen.  I fancy he could be at 3rd place (or maybe even 2nd).

Also there's just this thing when the podium finishers play around squirting champagne at each other and the crowd that always, ALWAYS makes me smile even though I've seen it over and over after a race.  Cheesy
11980  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Does China have too much control over Bitcoin? on: July 04, 2016, 12:39:21 AM
How China Took Center Stage in Bitcoin’s Civil War

Source

Quote
At the time of the meeting, held at the Grand Hyatt hotel, over 70 percent of the transactions on the Bitcoin network were going through just four Chinese companies, known as Bitcoin mining pools — and most flowed through just two of those companies. That gives them what amounts to veto power over any changes to the Bitcoin software and technology.

What would stop China from hiring their own devs and then let everyone follow in that direction since they control almost everything in the Bitcoin mining space, from ASIC production to mining itself.  I think there's a power shift here to one side (China) happening and this is very concerning.  

Quote
He said the American companies failed to understand the power dynamics in the room that day. “It was almost like imperialistic Westerners coming to China and telling us what to do,” Mr. Lee said in an interview last week. “There has been a history on this. The Chinese people have long memories.”

This kind of attitude is an impediment to Bitcoin's development.  That comment just shows that China would rather have a "Bitcoin Civil War" than bow down to the "imperialistic westerners".  And rightly so, but cool heads and a compromise is a better solution for everyone.  I think Bitcoin is going to be ruined due to politics and hidden agendas from both sides.  But the good part is we could all learn something from it.

What are your thoughts on the issue?
