Eu acredito que esse tipo de analise não seja muito relevante, por que descentralização realmente se mede pela quantidade de full nodes e distribuição geográfica dos mineradores que garantem a descentralização que impossibilita o problema do ponto unico de falha.

É relevante sim. Por dois motivos imediatos, alem de outros:

1 - Muitas dessas moedas, como Ethereum, EOS, XRP etc, estão caminhando para sistemas PoS ou de votação.
Quem tiver mais moedas em mãos decide as transações que serão inseridas em novos blocos.

Ethereum por exemplo, 35% das moedas estão em 100 endereços. Provavelmente menos de 20 pessoas. Elas terão um controle enorme sobre a rede.

2 - Outro aspecto é que quando uma moeda está concentrada na mão de poucos endereços, eles controlam o preco. Podem vender e derrubar o preço, ou parar de vender e o preço sobe.
Daí voce, investidor, fica na mao deles...

This is new system of bitcointalk? Have any announcement about this?

No, he is just suggesting again something that was already suggested a thousand times and is not a good idea for several reasons...

I was very happy that with some zoom I could find my name and even found my local board .

You should provide a way for others to explore this visualization (website?). I can already see the main sources of account farming for some sections. Surprise, surprise. Roll Eyes

that would be a great idea. Where we could make zoom in to see these connections more clearly.
12404  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin is the most decentralized cryptocurrency on: May 09, 2018, 06:53:36 PM

Definition of Decentralised Market: "A market structure that consists of a network of various technical devices that enable investors to create a marketplace without a centralised location."
...

This topic is irrelevant, so is the website.

if you ignore the consensus mechanism that is being developed by most of these coins;
if you ignore your own quote;
if you ignore that few investors can control the price of the asset if they own a great stake;
if you ignore that  the number of entities controlling mining power affects decentralization;
if you ignore a million things that I am not in the mod right to point out...

even your quote doesn't make sense. Dollar is decentralized according to it.
12405  Other / Beginners & Help / decentralization of crypto - % of money supply held by top 100 wallets on: May 09, 2018, 06:32:14 PM
I have just discovered this website today

https://arewedecentralizedyet.com/

This website shows the % of money supply held by top 100 accounts of those coins, which are the top in coinmarketcap.



Ripple's centralization is ridiculous, let's just ignore it.

According to this data, bitcoin is still the most decentralized cryptocurrency. Could be better, but we are on our way!

35% of ethereum tokens are on top100 address. Is PoS really a good idea?? Maybe Ethereum still needs to mature some more time to distribute these coins?
12406  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Re: O quanto as Criptos estão Descentralizadas? on: May 09, 2018, 06:08:59 PM
Olhem que site interessante, https://arewedecentralizedyet.com/.
Nele é possível ver o quão Descentralizadas as Criptos estão.

Interessante essa porcentagem da Quantidade de moedas detidas pelos 100 maiores endereços.
- Bitcoin 19%
- Ethereum 35%
- Ripple 98%  Shocked
- Bitcoin Cash 25%
- Stellar 95%
- IOTA 62%
- NEO 70%


Nossa cara, demais esse site.
Não conhecia. Dá para fazer muitas analises a partir disso.

Ethereum é bem mais centralizado do que parece hein.


Engraçado que Stellar, a moeda dos comunistas, é centralizada igual a dos banqueiros  (ripple)
kkkkkkkkkkk essa galera é uma piada pronta pqp

(tenho muita vontade de comprar uns SNGLS por gostar muito do projeto da SingularDTV, porém não faço ideia se vai ser um bom negócio $)..

Legal, eu namoro SNGLS a muito tempo. É uma moeda bem interessante, ja comprei e vendi várias vezes. Foi bom que eu sai, pq essa moeda ta estagnada....
Eu nao entendo pq essa moeda não vai pra frente, e nao tenho muita vontade de pesquisar... mas a ideia é demais, talvez a equipe nao seje boa?
12408  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: EOS will be blockchain3.0 on: May 09, 2018, 12:27:19 PM
I think these charts are misleading. This chart is only criticizing proof of work.

These BTC "weakness" pointed out are exactly what made BTC strong, resilient and unstoppable. The Proof of Work.

Confirmation time, transaction cost, block time, etc, are all required to secure the network and keep it as decentralized as possible.

This is not Blockchain 3.0, this is just an untested consensus mechanism, which could lead to great things or lead to one more centralized coin which may die in few years...
12409  Economy / Speculation / Re: Futures destroyed Bitcoin on: May 09, 2018, 12:19:50 PM
I bet the twins regret getting Bitcoin listed on the CME.
Bitcoin Futures will keep the price LOW!
In futures no one buys bitcoin!
It just a bet: up or down

Bitcoin is not that fragile, and Futures have low volume compared to BTC.

If you Bitcoin can't survive being listed as a future, well, sell it then.

Bitcoin has survived many death attempts already.
Bitcoin will keep up growing wildly without a central planner.
12410  Other / Meta / Re: The future of the signature campaigns on: May 09, 2018, 11:56:54 AM
I think signature campaigns are also a method to spread Bitcoin's adoption.
Many people who never owned a bitcoin or any other crypto come here and become spammers/shitposters, or maybe even a good forum member, and receive his first cryptos by doing sig/bounties.
12411  Other / Meta / Re: Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?) on: May 09, 2018, 03:19:39 AM
Besides that you need to actively contribute on the forum to receive merit from the moderator. good luck!
You don't have to receive merit from Moderators. Anyone with smerit can give merit. Just need good posts and you will receive them.
12412  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investment portfolio (20k $) on: May 09, 2018, 03:12:05 AM
I would suggest you keep at least 50% in BTC and 25%ETH.
The other altcoins are more volatile, so keep safe. In my opinion, The biggest the marketcap, the safer.
12413  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How important are miners to the Ethereum network ? on: May 09, 2018, 03:01:22 AM
How important are miners to the Ethereum network?


Just like Bitcoin or any other Proof of work....
They create new blocks and solve cryptographic puzzles.
Take a look here, i tried to explain how it works https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3317586.0;topicseen

Ethereum is not PRoof of Stake yet.
12414  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why people want ETH to over come BTC on: May 09, 2018, 02:54:42 AM
I don't know why people say so much about those Bitcoin transaction fees.

A simple international SWIFT costs about 45 USD and 2-3 business days.

People do those SWIFTS and never complained. Now bitcoin offers a more secure method, which costs 3-4 USD and 20 minutes, and people are crying about "high fees" "old technology"
WTF?

Ethereum is cheaper because their network has not the same volume as BTC.
Don't you remember when cryptokitties flooded their network and they had high fees?

Personally, i don't worry much about fees. Now with segwit and lightning, everything will be much cheaper.
12415  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 09, 2018, 02:49:28 AM
Why do I have this awful feeling like we're going below $9k again...

I blame Bill Gates.

Asshole.

Why do people pay attention to those old people? Bill gates almost missed the Internet, now he is going to miss blockchain and crypto.

Look at this nobel prize winner, one more genius.

12416  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bed news of Bitcoin on: May 09, 2018, 01:53:25 AM
It isn't lucky fans of bitcoin.
Now the bitcoin was attacked" by Warren Buffett, and the price has again spread down...

It is a lot of epithets. Not mine, Buffett.)))

Giving yesterday, 07.05.18, CNBC interview, it has told that buyers of bitkon whom he has characterized as "rat poison in a square" look forward who will pay more for their "anything-worthless-artificial-gold"...
The mysticism around bitcoin generates the unhealthy interest and not reasonable rise of the price, and there is the next soap bubble, such as, tulip fever in Holland in the 17th century.
"When you don't understand an essence, the mysticism bewitches and excites. People like to speculate and gamble."

And Charlie Munger his old partner and the vice-head of board of his Berkshire company has compared a race behind bitcoin to biting definition of Oscar Wilde of "hunting for foxes", or "Silent hunters pursue that are inedible"....


What your thinks?

I think that Buffet is just an old guy who can't even use an smartphone properly.
He was good in his time... He invest mostly in coca cola and insurance companies. Do you really think that is the future?

This is really bed news, makes me want to sleep . Done with internet for today
12417  Economy / Economics / Re: Portfolio on: May 09, 2018, 01:50:22 AM
I would keep most of my money in BTC and ETH. Be careful with altcoins. They are more volatile than bitcoin.
12418  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Let's talk about Privacy on: May 08, 2018, 07:01:09 PM
Wasn't TunnelBear bought by McAfee recently? I don't think that it will have a positive impact on it. I would recommend TorGuard instead. Their service is fairly good, they even sell pre-flashed routers with software designed for security of your network traffic. Also, it is worth mentioning that they support Lightning Network payments. If someone wants to try Lightning Network then their service is a good choice. Not only you get chance to test Lightning Network, but also you can improve your privacy.

I wasn't aware of that, that TunnelBear was both by mcafee company.
But it's important to know that John Mcafee sold this company, which holds only his name.


Don't you think that you should mention something about Bitcoin mixers? They are a good choice if someone doesn't want to use any other cryptocurrency.

I like the idea of Bitcoin mixers. I need to study about them. This is probably become another post.

Am using chrome and am not having any problems. But for your own good don't allowed any website to save your password for you so that you can easily open your account when you want to. Is not safe someone may get access to your phone or computer. In order to be safe keep your password to yourself because is your privacy not publicly.

THe problem with google products is privacy related, not security related. Your passwords are somehow safe.
They will collect your personal data (like e-mail content, searches) and sell to another companies. If you don't have a problem with that, you can use any google product.
12419  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Blue-chip stocks and Bitcoin on: May 08, 2018, 06:52:39 PM
I just pointed out some similarities between the two.

 I know they are different assets, and Bitcoin is not a company looking for profits to pay dividends. Although some people erroneous call forks dividends, in a pure financial point of view they  have some similarities too.

I like this comparison, between stocks and bitcoin, and I think it's a good way to explain Bitcoin  characteristics to  people who are new to bitcoin. I think this comparison is inevitable for people who invest in the stock market.
12420  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The long term hold outlook on: May 08, 2018, 06:49:19 PM
I think the hold strategy is good when you have solid coins.

I think solid coins are the top30 at the most. The most solid, which are probably just going up in the long term are the top 3: BTC ETH and XRP.

Although I don't like XRP, I have to admit it has solid fundamentals. Solid partnerships (many banks) and bank are probably going to use it soon.
