I like to read your comments because we have all kind of voices in the discussion.

One side sees XRP as another crypto with huge interest and adoption from big banks and companies which makes Ripple a good investment in this bear market of course.

The second group don't like Ripple and even not recognize it as a cryptocurrency. XRP is a threat to the crypto market and should be avoided.

I am just 2 years in crypto so I like to read opinions from members involved in the space for a lot longer. From what I see almost all this people are in group two.
So crypto veterans don't like Ripple despite he is a quite a while on the market. I see no other cryptocurrency with so many enemies besides Tether and BCH of course in the top 50.

There has to be a reason for that, I keep repeating this to myself every time I want to invest in Ripple.

I see that OP has seen our comments and the spam contest ended. This is very good. People will find this thread more valuable and natural.

Real discussion, frequent updates, active team, answered questions - this drive attention and awareness among investors.

Keep up Dominium and remember that all ICO's are struggling lately.

Thanks for your answer and links but I am muted from Atlant Telegram channel and that is why I ask here. Don't want to miss this KYC and from what I know it should be this month.

This should be announced here and in bounty thread once implemented. Not mainly in Telegram where a lot of people are banned for no reason.

This is something new and I will know more about this proof-of-order, time/location stamping.

Can you please or somebody from the team provides more information about this or links to the source of that information.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. You are of course right and this is very important to check URL and bookmark it for later.

Added as the second point in my guide because you can be in real deep shit when using phishing exchange URL.

Thanks, Cryptowisser. Of course, I will add anything that could be useful.

If you think that there is a matching content from yours please don't hesitate to provide here and will add after review.

We can create a super guide if we merge threads together and later manually rewrite the content. It would be nice to create a guide nobody forget and members will show as an example.

If you want to talk about shoot me a PM or just write here.

Thanks for sharing this scammy exchanges. I have quoted you to be sure that your post stays visible even if deleted somehow.

Exactly that is why I wrote this guide to share some useful info about exchanges and tips on how to avoid problems.

If every member shares something useful in this thread we will finally have the best guide ever written  

Exactly, share some more details on how this happens to warn other members and let us avoid such a mistake.

Was this a link, program, ad? How did this hack happen?

The best way is to learn from mistakes and avoid in the future. So share some more information to better understand this exploit.

You are right added 2FA to my guide, thanks.


Lucky you but as you can see I had quite a few problems when using this exchange. Of course few of them were my own fault like not checking the coin page and status of cryptocurrencies before use/transfer and many others/additional issues because of Cryptopia fault.

Like I said this guide is for every exchange and I would be happy to read it before my first deposit on Cryptopia.

Like I said:

"I try to avoid this exchange but some of the coins are listed or have a decent volume only there".

This is not the first time that something bad happens to me on an exchange when depositing/withdraw or trade coins/tokens.
I try to avoid these exchanges next time but some of the coins/tokens are listed or have a decent volume only there.

There are a few easy steps when dealing with an exchange to be safe:

- Add 2FA authentication to your account and any other available security measures, such as the anti-phishing password for email, pin, additional security questions.
- Before logging in, double-check the URL of the site and bookmark it.
- Always check everything three times, especially the current information page (if available) for information: currently which coins/tokens should be avoided, if maintenance is carried
   out or if there are any other problems, for example with synchronization, addresses, fees, times, etc.
- During the transaction itself (purchase/sale, withdraw or deposit), use the triple check rule to check amounts, addresses, etc.
- Never deposit everything in one transaction.
- Send a small amount first and check if everything works (transfer, trade, withdrawal, confirmation).
- Continue depositing smaller amounts (smaller amounts mean less headache if something goes wrong).
- Withdraw each time before the next deposit, if possible.
- Never leave your coins or tokens on the exchange, because is not intended for that.
- Always remember that the exchange is not a wallet and is not secure.
- Never use exchange addresses for payments for bounty or for air-drops, mining, etc.
- Check exchange on google and their social network pages, in particular: Twitter, Facebook. Search for new complaints about coins or tokens, scam accusations, etc.
- Be careful about the security of 2FA itself, keep the backup codes for each 2FA secured exchange (use Authy as 2FA due to the possibility of backups).
- TOTP for 2FA (you scan a QR code by Authy or a similar program which is implementing TOTP according to the specification in RFC 6238) it is a much better solution than
  authentication by means of incoming codes via SMS because it is not difficult to take over a phone number.
- Do not send scans of documents for KYC to an unknown stock exchange immediately after registration, usually, it is not necessary to trade only with cryptocurrencies.
- Diversification is very important. Trade on a few exchanges if possible because trading on one is associated with the risk of losing all capital.
- When selecting an exchange, you can use the Blockchain Transparency Institute as a guide. The list includes exchanges with suspicious trading and money laundering
  activities.
- Register on several exchanges, so you have plenty of options available. Do not wait for the crypto mania to run before attempting your registration. Sometimes you can not have an
  opportunity at all.
- When you scan your KYC documents for verification, make a copy first and write the exchange URL or name on the document this will prevent or make it harder for hackers to use it.
- Avoid small not established exchanges if you don't have to trade there.

This list is growing every time I have a new problem with an exchange so it will be updated frequently  .

I already experienced all kinds of issues but luckily I was always able to withdraw. Sometimes with a big loss after a few months from the deposit.
Support sometimes works slow and needs almost 2 months to answer a ticket, of course with an automated message.

When dealing with support

- While contacting customer service, try to wait at least the minimum response time, often they inform about the minimum time to reply (do not create multiple tickets).
- Try to get help on the official social media website (Twitter, Facebook) if available (sometimes it works great, sometimes not).
- Use various contact options such as chat, phone, WhatsApp or Skype if available.
- Be polite, do not lose your patience, provide all the documents, they ask for (even if you have to send this same document several times).
- Do not give up when they say "no", be persistent (if you are right) and start from the beginning. Sometimes another agent will help you (they are just people and often make mistakes).

I hope my first guide will help to save a few coins/tokens or a headache.

@wwzsocki the author of the main version has published lately this post in polish language https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5119320.0

I don't think so because there is no volume on the exchange so MNTC coins are not changing hands. I assume somebody allocated his POS coins in masternodes maybe because of incoming prise halving.


I would not describe Ideaupdater as a developer because anybody with average knowledge about cryptocurrencies can start such a copycat coin as Masternodecoin.

New features like P2P messenger, easy bounty, airdrops and burnings where the only value of this project.

We waited almost a year for Ideaupdater to show his developer skills. I think we all agree that he has not delivered anything, don't keep promises and show no coding/programming skills, not active in the community, no possibility to contact him directly if needed (forks, chain splits). Of course, Ideaupdater is fully anonymous which is another red flag.

Masternodecoin gathered Bitcointalk forum members attention at the start with a very clever airdrop scheme and a lot of fake promises. Nobody involved never called this a scam because enjoyed free coins from airdropped masternodes and POS. People just closed their eyes on the constant roadmap changes and not delivered new features (P2P chat, One click bounty, search engine and many more). There was no ICO or other crowdfunding for MTNC so majority assumed that there is no possibility for a scam. But believe we are/where scammed, especially people like me which invested when the price was high, almost on ATH.

Finally is the time to expose this scam and call things with their real name to warn other members before they invest their hard earned money into this or any other scammy masternode/POS "project". Remember a lot of people lost money because they were fooled with a bunch of fake promises and straight lies. I'm one of them, attracted by promo team to buy masternode when the price was almost at ATH.

Ideaupdater is sitting on millions of MTNC coins from the start and do what he wants with POS and masternodes by controlling the number of stacked coins and masternodes count. We all have seen these wallets with millions of coins switched on and off periodically and almost the same masternode count during last year despite price fluctuations. With still enough volume back then Ideaupdater dumped all these coins on such stupid people like me, attracted by his promo team to invest. The only thing Ideaupdater really cares about and keeps monitoring, maintaining frequently are the exchange wallets of course. Every time there were problems he reacted almost instantly  .

This is how I see Masternodecoin actually.

P.S
@STH2017 What is "pashalka"?

I see today a lot of green and gains for 50% by some tokens and coins. This is good and finally looks like some additional money hit the market. I personally see this from few days that volumes raised and somebody started to buy tokens which are very cheap and fell 97 to 99% from ATL price. I have a big list of tokens in my portfolio and almost all of them are green from 2 days with very high gains. Let's hope this will be new start of a bull market and this time BTC will stay and other crypto and tokens will find higher prices. Why not?

Enough for exit scam  .

This is no FUD. I will call this project a scam until the latest problems are resolved and all promises delivered. Which is: listings, distribution of bounty payouts, working contract.
This is just a minimum which should be already delivered with no problems at all.

If there are such big problems with the contract at the start what can we await further? this is just clear that the team is not strong enough.
This is just impossible to be able to run the company for 1 million (soft cap) or 30 (hard cap).

I accepted explanation about different approach and reduction of volumes and the smaller team but still, such a big difference looks scammy.

I like that the team keeps posting updates and announcements in this ANN thread despite small funding and team. Big plans and a clear roadmap for coming months. Very good plan for exchange and original approach with many products. I have heard this few times before ICO that Investa is a black horse and this can be true, finally. Binance token price is very high and standing strong. Investa can do this same or even better because we can learn on their mistakes. I know that security will be very important. Hacks are the biggest danger for every exchange.

I like to come back to project I was interested in before or during first ICO stages to look at how it develops and if my assumptions where correct.

I see that ICO is extended until the end of this year which is common lately. Almost 75% of ICO extended fundraisings in the last half year.

The most important thing is a still falling price of ETH and BTC because Elyqd ICO is funded with this cryptocurrencies.

Such a long ICO's cause problems with correct token price assumption.

Like OP said there is no way to predict the price before ICO is actually ended.

I am curious how this process will be determined by Elyqd? Can somebody, please explain this to me?

Yes, we are all waiting for this moment from some time. We are so close to distribution and bad news started to show up in the ANN thread. Few members rise scam accusations against ETI team and project. The Twitter official account is closed and a few latest announcements are being criticized. I don't know what to think and would be great if somebody who follows this project really close share his opinion about the actual state of ETI project.

15K ETI for withdrawal is just insane. You can always sell and withdraw other coin but now I ask myself how high are the minimum amounts for each coin there? If such an insane amount for ETI then could be something similar for LTC or ETH. why not?

I will advise you to keep this thread clean and don't use any bumping services because is not needed and will only harm your project. Last few posts are already low quality and start to looks bad. Keep up good work OP and post frequent updates and announcements from the team and people will follow There is nothing more precious for an ANN thread as real discussion and involved high-rank members.

No comments from weeks, the price at the bottom, no updates, no development, no team, not good Masternodecoin.

So we can assume this as an abandoned project or there is dev available and will do something further? Airdrops?

From what I know should be burned a lot more and distributed to the community by airdrop. If not then what happened with this coins?

Is this what it looks like? Which is the end?
