121  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BURST SPECULATION, the next big thing, Proof of Capacity mining on: September 06, 2018, 03:51:58 AM
Theres some good news from nixops that was announced in /r/burstcoin. The project now has a company thats developing something using the Burst blockchain. But because of an NDA, nixops and his team cant say anything more. But we will receive more information as it develops.

The future is bright!

Burst Business Announcements

  • We have a company that will be using the burst blockchain for various features for their business. This is a big step forward on non merchant business adoption. What does this mean for you? Well if you are a miner, you will enjoy the uptick in transactions.

  • Burst is growing, and the swan is now beginning to re-emerge. We(CA Team), have been busting our tails on getting community engagement in and outside of just online. We have definitely been getting the word out there.

  • It does take time, and in some cases NDA's to not disclose until the business' themselves are ready to announce. We wish we could tell you more in some cases but can't until the time is right.

  • Over the next few months, from our team expect business adoption news. These businesses are not merchant's and will be using burst in a different way than you would if you were just a merchant/vendor scenario.

  • We will be talking with CEO's and founders of each of the businesses coming on as well to allow them the chance to talk to you the community. It will also help some in seeing why others have come to the conclusion to the use the burst blockchain over others.

  • Our first announcement was during the meetup with https://cratustech.com CEO Zeki on this past Sunday. We are meeting with him today to schedule a more formal interview and announcement to be published as well.

Good idea. But the SEC wont be happy if you make those decisions lol.


A big part of why Bisq is a DAO is so that it doesn't care what the SEC, or any other government agency says.

Today we saw even Shapeshift.io give in to KYC/AML regulation. I know Erik... he hates KYC regulation. He fought it for years and even blocked from using Shapeshift.io any jurisdiction that enforced user data collection....

So why is he giving in now?

Because when you run a company you have a responsibility to your employees and investors. You cannot ignore legal risks and if you want to do any business in the Western world you cannot ignore US judges and US regulations. Even if you are based in Switzerland.

We believe that a DAO like Bisq (or like Bitcoin) based on FOSS can be more resilient. I'm sure it will be put to the test!

I have never used Shapeshift but I am surprised to see a service like that asking to require KYC/AML. It turns it into a membership only service in some way.

Did nixops contact you?

C-CEX, why are you delisting Burst and also why now? The community has seen new growth and development of the project has never been better in its whole history since 2014. You cannot do this now, please reconsider.

HOW TO LIST AN ASSET ON BISQ
https://docs.bisq.network/exchange/howto/list-asset.html

As a DAO and fully decentralized exchange Bisq makes no judgement and takes no sides on which assets/coins/alts it allows you to trade. If it meets a few objective requirements, you can just create a pull request and it will be listed in the next Bisq release.



Good idea. But the SEC wont be happy if you make those decisions lol.

Anyhow, did nixops from the Burst community contact you? I already contacted him in Reddit and he said he would get in touch with you.

I can contact him again and remind him in case he has forgotten. Are your contact details in Github? Ty.
125  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Trading experts, what are your toughts on Burst? on: September 05, 2018, 03:39:31 AM
Can an experienced trader share there trading knowledge and make a simple technical analysis of Burst? Ty.

Anyhow, I am also sorry about the price prediction that went wrong. I wont be too enthusiatic next time lol.
126  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Anyone use Poloniex recently, after they were purchased by Circle? on: September 05, 2018, 03:18:01 AM
The exchanges that listed USDT for their traders' fiat trading needs are there because they dont have the licenses to open real fiat trading. I think Circle has different plans for Poloniex. The may want to get all the licenses and convert Poloniex into an exchange that has real fiat and cryptocurrency trading like Coinbase.

Then I don't really understand why they didn't stick with the Circle brand. When they were selling there were hardly any complaints that I was aware of. Why they'd lay out several hundred million dollars for a now minor exchange that everyone hates is beyond me.

It would've made sense if they were fully licenced and ready to roll but I would presume Circle themselves were in a better state compliance wise.

Yeah but we dont know really what their real roadmap is for Poloniex. But if you ask me, it would be more compliance, more delistings of ICO scams and legal compliance to list security tokens like XRP lol.

Burst community member, CurbShifter, has released BurstCoupon!

It will be something like a token used to claim Bursts but with a deadline with potential applications in airdrops, automated faucets and rewards for challenges and others.

They are all very useful to get your first Bursts to activate your wallet.
128  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Burst weekly report! The future is bright! Proof of Capacity is here. on: September 04, 2018, 03:37:19 AM
Theres also more secret development in their private repositories. Thats when we know thay the PoCC are playing it very close to their chest and they would only release their idea when the code is ready for testing. They cant have the other projects copy their roadmap.

When will the Graft team apply for listing the project in other exchanges like Binance or Bittrex? Is it in their roadmap?

Its hard for investors to accumulate the coin.
131  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [ANN] KRAKEN.COM - Exchange with USD EUR GBP JPY CAD BTC LTC XRP NMC XDG STR ETH on: September 03, 2018, 04:49:06 AM
when i try to short doge on kraken i get: "Order type allowed only on positions"..is it normal or did i do soeomthing wrong?

You're probably trying to sell DOGE when you don't own it. Instead you want to stake BTC or EUR or USD to short DOGE. I'm not sure how it works since I have only used Kraken to exchange coins I own, but you could try use https://trade.kraken.com instead of kraken.com, this platform is a bit more detailed and it might help you.

To short a coin in any exchange you should have your account balance funded and you should also use leverage. Using leverage lets you borrow the coins you want to short from the exchange.
132  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Main reason behind crypto currencies red market in 2018 on: September 03, 2018, 03:49:08 AM
2018 has so far seen the highest funds jointly raised through ICOs.
This has a minimal effect on bitcoins value, a lot of other factors also have effects in the price.
There has been very little real possitive news for the most of 2018.

Is it? I thought 2017 was the highest amount of raised funds through ICOs that may never be repeated again because most ICO developers have already scammed millions of $ from the community. The community is wiser now but also out of BTC and $ to burn lol.
2018 has not yet ended though, but the number of ICOs that popped out successfully this year was really huge and I can really say it might be the year that brought about some difference for ICOs.

Last year was really more of a joke with huge number of scams and projects that ended up the drain eventually, but this time around, with investors getting wiser each and every day and new ones knowing what they should be doing before investing in ICOs, we have seen solid new projects hitting their soft caps at least.

Okay but lets compare how much money was "poured" in ICOs in 2018 so far. What were the ICOs that got the largest amount of funding and compare that to the ICOs that got the largest amount of funding from 2017.

With that said, there may be more scams this year than 2017.

Marcel666 and Whosdaddy can you show the data of how much money was invested in ICOs for 2017? Lets compare it when 2018 is over.

The problem with some people here is they like to talk but cant provide the needed answers to the real questions.
133  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Anyone use Poloniex recently, after they were purchased by Circle? on: September 03, 2018, 03:42:36 AM
they recently sent me an Email asking me to come and verify my account since the site ownership has been changed and apparently now they are enforcing verification! this is an account i created about 4 years ago and i haven't been using it.

in any case to get your answer you can simply check the trading volumes. once Polo had the highest volume in the market but since they started having problems and then starting forcing people to verify their accounts, everyone left. their current volume may not even be 100% real.

It would be hard to prove if their already low volume is fake lol. If you want to find a site that has fake volume, check the Asian based exchanges.

Having that said Circle may be preparing Poloniex to become a fully legal exchange like Coinbase.
134  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Anyone use Poloniex recently, after they were purchased by Circle? on: September 01, 2018, 03:11:35 AM
Nope. Thought I'm fully verified and it's not a legacy account I don't trust it.

By this point I expected it to be a new paradigm in exchange professionalism. Circle should've drained all the shitcoins, upped customer service massively and reworked the site to perfection.

From what I've read and heard it's just as mysterious and useless as it's ever been. The exact same problems before acquisition seem to happen over and over again.

How long has it been now? It must be six months. I expected more. Much, much, much more.

Thats why Binance has become the the users' choice for altcoin trades. They also dont ask the users that trades small to verify their documents which might compose most of their users.

136  Economy / Economics / Re: Please, we should not totally eliminate fiat currency on: August 31, 2018, 04:04:54 AM
From what I have seen so far in this forum and other crypto platforms, most of us want fiat eliminated. But let us not forget that there are still situations whereby we can't use crypto except fiat like in rural places without computers or even internet facilities.

It will not happened even for a decade. Don't worry.

Most people here just expecting too much without looking at the reality and the massive effect of it.

Crypto will grow more but fiat will still be there.

This will take a long discussion so I will leave a simple statement first.

Most people here dont anymore. It was the first adopters of Bitcoin who thought of it as a tool for liberation from government unjust treatment that expected too much. The Libertarians and the gold bugs lol.
137  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: GatePay - Instant Cryptocurrency Payment Solution (Looking for teammates) on: August 31, 2018, 03:52:53 AM
Doesnt Bitpay have the same service as your project? They also dont like offchain solutions and have made sure that everything stays onchain by adding BCH in their accepted coins because its more scalable.

What would be your technical advantage over Bitpay?
Yeah BitPay is on-chain solution but it's for ordinary payment transactions, not for instant transactions. Online merchants using BitPay need to be sure their incoming transactions are confirmed thats because buyers can double-spend their unconfirmed payments.
>>https://support.bitpay.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002990823-How-do-I-prevent-double-spend-fraud-on-unconfirmed-payments-
BitPay is for online merchants not for physical merchants this is done so when you make a bitcoin payment for e-commerce with BitPay it does not matter when your transaction will be mined. Let say you bought something online through BitPay and your transaction is confirmed 3 hours later, once its confirmed then online merchant post your order. In the contrast way in terms of physical commerce it's essential to make instant payments because nobody would wait for 10 minute to buy a cup of coffee from a local store. That's why bitcoin is only used for a store of value and investment tool rather than used for daily payments.

Okay I understand now, ty. But why do you have hesitations in using offchain solutions like Lightning Network? Wouldnt your service be doing transactions offchain like Lightning Network, but a centralized version?

Comparing to Lightning Network, on-chain has 3 main advantages over LN in terms of spend flexibility, macro-payments, integration easiness and offline payments.
a) Spend Flexibility
LN uses payment channels and you need to lock your funds into a multi-sig address. You are not allowed to spend your funs outside LN and (probably) outside your payment channel. Each payment channel has a deadline so you have to wait till a certain time (locktime) to redeem rest of your funds back which is a very significant problem.
b) Macro-payments
LN is built for only micro-payments, not for non-micro payments due to some technical limitations. Underlying reason is you have a connection path on your payment channel and each node have to be funded at least the amount of your payment. Lets say you want to make a payment about 1 BTC through LN each node on your path have to be funded at least 1 BTC which is likely impossible.
c) Integration easiness
LN scales existing blockchains but it's a different structure than blockchain, it's a separate galaxy. Even blockchain adoption is not happened but existing wallets, exchanges, services, ATMs are all using blockchain protocol while LN offers another protocol. Both merchant and customer have to maintain commerce on same protocol, they need to use a LN integrated wallet for commerce.
d) Offline payments
Trade on LN happens only between peers so each peer have to be uptime as much as possible. Peers need to operate 7/24 online nodes otherwise payment channel crashes. On blockchain each node stores same copy of ledger. So peers don't have to be 7/24 online because other nodes are storing their transaction data alongside rest of chain data.


Yeah but wouldnt your service be doing offchain transactions or function like a centralized money processor for BTC users like BitGo or a combination? I read that BitGo also has instant transactions but for a higher fee.
138  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: SHA-256 Contracts - No Payouts on: August 31, 2018, 03:46:50 AM
All cloud mining services have recently collapsed. I think that the only solution to this problem is related with green crypto mining. It will be able to solve the diminishing returns issue related to more costs and less rewards.

Theres also a sudden huge increase in hashrate again and there are some reports that total mining power is touching 60 Ehash/s. Smaller miners are being killed lol.

Having that said, the solution to the problem is to buy BTC, not mining contracts. But if theres a small miner who wants to explore other possibilities then give Proof of Capacity a try.

I wouldn't be surprised in 2018 is the year when ICO raised a lot of money. I think there's ICO born every minute so its possible that they attracted more investors. The problem is scammed ICO ares still present and I assume that its one reason why the market is also down, investors doesn't have the full confidence and they are getting intelligent and smarter today as compare to last year.

I would be surprised, if you ask me. Its now a bear market, everyone is dumping their tokens with losses and many people in the community who are left holding are already scammed. Theres no more money coming in anymore lol.

Not true. Those money that were poured in crypto last year will be poured again at the right time, it all just need a push are they are all going to come running after the price. A seasoned trader will even chase a trade knowing the price doesn't indicate overbought. Once a person realized how much he gained after dumping last year, he will soon be back wanting for more.



It doesnt mean that you are completely right. The investors wont pour money on ICOs this year especially in the middle of a bear market. But investors poured more money than they can afford in ICOs on 2017 in the middle of the bull market.

Which year has more money invested in ICOs? This year or last year?
