Dear. Don't know that they released new coins.

1302  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks in Canada slowly warming to cannabis biz - but crypto is the better answer on: October 08, 2017, 05:16:07 AM
I recall seeing a ICO for a coin that brings the Blockchain and crypto to legal cannabis sellers.
I thought  it was an interesting take on the crypto scene but having read this article and having seen many others like it with the increased interest and legalisation of marijuana I can understand that there could be a need for such markets.

Edit: Here's an interesting article: http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/Cannabis-and-Cryptocurrency-The-Time-is-now-1002275097

But here's my question to people that think we need a wholenother coin to be able to do what Bitcoin can, and probably has been doing without issue for years. Why do we need a coin to facilitate transcations between cannabis businesses and other people involved in the process? It's not like this coin will ever be able to gain enough traction to be a traded coin, let alone be stable enough for companies to want to accept and use it.

Lets stick to Bitcoin with stuff like this.

Good question. I was actually wondering the same thing myself. Here's the link to the site (of the coin I was talking about). https://paragoncoin.com/en
Apparently it's been endorsed by celebs and the like (although that's probably paid promotion). I'll do a bit more reading up on it because I'm unsure why it's needed myself.

Amusing topic to say the least. Kudos to whoever came up with that.
One of the great things about BTC is not knowing who the creator was. The mysterious element adds to the story of its inception. I think not knowing whonthe creator is also helps when it comes to decisions like chain splitting. If people knew who sayoshi was then he'd be asked to make the decision which wouldn't be very 'decentralised' and which would stand against what he believes in when he set out to create his brainchild.

This sounds awesome! A great way to mix two of my favourite things together! If you ever make it to the UK then please let me know! I'd love to attend if possible. You should try and get a graphics designer (here on the forum) to help with the graphics (logo and leaflets). Nobody says no to a good party. It'd be a good way to spread the crypto love Smiley
Having been said I do have to agree with pinkflower. Having an ITO isn't the way to go. Once everything is set up then you can begin selling tickets at early bird pricing followed by regular price tiers. Collecting funds before the even has been planned/organised is a no go.
1305  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Cryptonomy on: October 07, 2017, 10:22:35 PM
Very nice app! The ads at the bottom are a bit irritating but I guess a mans got to make his money someway or another  Grin
Regardless, the app is pretty cool. The overall design and layout is slick and I really like the news section (especially being able to tag articles as positive or negative).
The beginners/learning area is nice too. Congrats on the release OP!
1306  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is S2X already on life support? on: October 07, 2017, 10:16:19 PM
I kind of wonder how much depends on the ticker symbol. Bitcoin = BTC right? Not BCC or BCH or BTC1 or whatever else.

Bitcoin is BTC. Who decides this? Top exchanges. That is a lot of power resting there.

Exchanges have a lot of power. Most heavy miners send their coins straight to the exchanges so they ultimately end up being puppets to the exchanges. If an exchange decides to go one way then they alter their miners to ensure that they are making the most profit at the end of the day.
In a way it's kind of ironic/hypercritical. Bitcoin is meant to be decentralised but the lack of trust and power given to small exchanges means that the bigger exchanges are the ones calling the shots at the end of the day  Undecided

1308  Economy / Digital goods / Re: [BUYING] OLD BTC/LTC address, Giving 4$ per address on: October 07, 2017, 10:01:12 PM
Considering that the addresses you're after seem to be those fitting with the type of addresses that would contain CLAM coins, your offer is low and quite unfair.
For those unfamiliar with CLAM, check out the thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623147
Old addresses that contain CLAM coins that worth approximately $40+ at today's prices. There are other members on here who would pay much more for such addresses.
1309  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: No real BTC project here? on: October 07, 2017, 07:59:25 PM
The biggest problem is something you mentioned in your post. Not everyone has the capital of the ability to lay out the required capital.
Some people either have the technical background and try to work on their own projects. Others try outsourcing or finding those who'd accept equity in exchange for work. Then there are the others who don't have either or have no success in finding partners/technical co-founders, so there ideas don't actually come to fruition.
Very few devs choose to work for equity alone and more members here offer equity than payment (or a combination of both) which is why you're not getting the results you're looking for.

Based on the price/discount that OP is offering it is likely that he is sourcing these using SE methods which aren't what you'd call 'legit'. Ultimately you'd be receiving a 'purchased' or 'replacement' item direct to your door from the manufacturer. Technically speaking the manufacturer could then hand your address over to the Police once they catch on so proceed at your own risk.

If you're sourcing these in a different and more honest way then please let me know and I'd be happy to remove my warning.
1311  Economy / Economics / Re: Dogecoin Petition for Amazon on: October 07, 2017, 06:22:48 PM
Why would Amazon accept DOGE before they opt to accept the major cryptos like BTC, ETH and LTC? As much as I admire DOGE, it just doesn't make sense. Think of it from Amazon's perspective. They want to maximise profit/sales. The BTC ecosystem is much bigger and there'd be attracting a larger user base with BTC over DOGE.
Hopefully they choose to accept all major cryptos, including DOGE too.   
1312  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANN] A website that scans twitter feeds for the top 400 coins on coinmarketcap on: October 07, 2017, 06:19:26 PM
Quite a cool idea. Could the parameters be changed to crawl for something else or is the code complex that would require a complete new build? It could be quite useful if you could make small changes to the framework to utilise it for other things too.
How come the top coins (BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC etc) aren't showing. I'd have assumed that those coins should be through the roof with results.

1315  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: Can we Force newbie's to use Escrow or delete the thread??? on: October 03, 2017, 08:55:21 PM
As far as I remember there were various topics (or similar ones) made in regards to suggestions for the new forum.
Unfortunately there's not much regular members can do when newbies don't want to accept Escrow other than warning others on the thread.
I think it should be a given though. Any new/low level member not prepared to accept Escrow shouldn't be trusted to trade with.
1316  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Raffle - 10 x China Silver Pandas on: October 03, 2017, 08:46:34 PM
I'll take one of the last available ones.
Thanks
1317  Economy / Economics / Re: Brexit and bitcoins for a beginner on: October 03, 2017, 12:24:15 PM
I wouldn't call Brexit a disaster but from a European's perspective I can understand your concern.
As an Italian, weren't Italy thinking of leaving the EU too?
I guess that's a discussion for a different topic.
To address your main points, BTC mining won't be affordable. The difficulty vs reward for a small scale mining op won't pay off. Not to mention the fact that you're paying much higher electricity costs than those across the pond.
The first rule in investing is to play with money you can live with losing. If you invest the £2k then understand that the £2k can disappear overnight. If you're okay with that then proceed.
I'd say buy £1000 - £1500 worth of BTC and then use the other £500 to trade Alta. All profit you make with the alt trading can then be turned into BTC. If you want to risk more then buy less BTC and use more for trading Alta. Obviously do your research first. Trading alts is a lot of work and in order to be successful you're going to have to do a lot of reading and learning.
1318  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Identity manager in the making - your thoughts? on: October 03, 2017, 06:32:33 AM
Can you explain the idea please?
What makes it decentralised and how is it different from 2FA?
I was also wondering what would happen if someone was to have access to your phone. Surely the App should be password protected every time it is opened (something like using Touc ID or Face ID).
Just some constructive criticism: The name and domain name aren't great. I'd change it something more unique and something that can help people identify your brand. Personally I was constantly thinking of he other LYNX while looking at your website.
1319  Economy / Economics / Re: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE A NASTY DIVORCE AND A FAT BTC WALLET? on: October 03, 2017, 06:24:28 AM
It depends on the nature of the divorce and whether or not you'd want to split it.
If your OH doesn't know about it then what she doesn't knowncant hurt her.
If she does then you're in trouble. She xouldntecbhically force you (through the courts) to hand over her share if you don't reach another agreement when it comes to negotiating finances and assets.
I guess you could always claim to not have access to the private keys but once you make a transfer from your address then the charade is up.
1320  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: ICO Question from Newbie on: October 03, 2017, 06:19:06 AM
Every bounty is different.
During ICOs, coin decks usually allocate a certain percentage of coins or a fixed sum that are used for various different bounties.
For media, usually the bigger the following, the bigger the bounty that can be negotiated. Your best bet would be to message the creator themselves to see what deal youncould work out.
Bear in mind that some ICOs are just get rich quick schemes so you're bounty reward may not actually be worth much if the coin doesn't take off.
