Not "popping", more likely bouncing back from it's Fibonacci Retracementlevel 50% located at 1257 USD. Timsescale last 42 days, which is ... the universal answer.

ETH kinda belongs into the Altcoin section. And I changed my mind on it. The technology frontier is over there.

Kraken seriously lacks behind most other tradesites on recent spike. And market dynamics should level out huge price differences.
Arbitrage flows might be damaged. Tether withdrawals.

Just imagine:
1) Buying on Kraken, catching the dips
2) Selling on Bitfinex, into these spikes
3) move cash from Bitfinex to Kraken. Would require currency interchange from Euros into Dollars. USD/USDT trade & withdraw
4) Goto 1), be seriously happy

Other market metrics to watch are
1) Hashrate
2) Adoption, indirectly guessable by number of transactions on the blockchain.
Or by trollbox chatlogs, activity / number of unique users
Some sites offer numbers about their registered users, but how do I know about site operator's honesty, or kind of Sybil effects.

Bitcoin rising lifts whole market, of course. But the real gainers are those that get more market weight bei adding more coin supply AND a higher notation written in BTC.
vSlice gains on two, dollar $$$ value and overall market cap. Currently loosing some speed against BTC. For someone owing spare BTCs the right moment to nibble up more.

Glad to hear about this outcome. Those codes are used on several platforms (BTCe on my memory does them, too) but I did not found the place where to redeem them. Been /en/yobicodes/ or similar.

Regarding their reputation..
They are listing each and every coin since it's their main bussiness model offering trade services for a small registration fee from coin developer. Of course that attracts a whole disarray of short lived projects. And a maintenance nightmare on keeping all wallets / blockchains in sync. Not to argue about the more shady coin devs who could publish backdoored wallet software that needs to be kept in a secure distance onto any serious deposit.
I am pricing that in. As a result, mostly spare money trades over there. Cant help it, that has become yobit's fate.

ETH Ethereum https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/ is the valid coin. The other might not feature an equal life line length, but expire instead. The real developers are on ETH.
BTW https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/yobit/ trades both Ethereum variants. Did nothing popped up inside anyone of your Yobit wallets, one by the name ETH other ETC ? You have two there.


Now I have to wager an educated guess: If Yobit created a fresh deposit address for explicitely your use, than they own a private key which could work on both chains, on ETH and on ETC chain? Doable to reimport into the other wallet manually?
I lack the knowledge how "parallel" both chains are operating by now. Before the fork all deposits had been on equal private keys.

Same mood here. And because of why?
What got mentioned was NXT changing into Ardor. Right, offering the same basically as NXT always did. Kinda like a rebranding. Doing mostly the same thing again is not enough in a fast moving tech sector, at least not for gaining the pole positions.
What does ETH offer? Sample: VSL / vSlice which gained momentum just recently.
The greater innovative power of ethereum, the wider variety of possibilities of what to create. Adding VSL onto the "not to be missed out today" list.

What we are calling "dust" today could be "dollar cents" tomorrow. So there must be a way to send for near-to-zero-fees and getting through eventually. Trading time vs. costs so these sorts of transactions would have to "pay in time".


That is a nifty chart. I can compare with my visual impression of logged in people at Poloniex, either from trollbox activity or their own numbers stated, and acknowledge there ARE more people using crypto. Definitely.
But that number ranks up slow and steady almost linear to time. Means mempool fill levels got gamed, and a distinct level of required fees would squench that afford.

you could try to spin it that way.
but https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ tells everybody who is curious about that level of supplied fees - has been rising on average. once supplying 100 Satoshis has been a completely sufficient choice, to get through.
now that drags you below 1380 minutes delay, up to infinity.

On a functional government it would not take long to close that loophole, expanding regulations beeing in effect for the dollar onto anything else that tries to act like a dollar, too.
Thank heavens they are busy elsewhere.

New piece of information, spinning out further. 8 plants is a harsh limit and "personal use only", so not intended to place them for sale on the internets. Hmm!
Predictions: Some people will be bad in counting numbers, stopping by 10 or 12. Friends and relatives who are not that much into tobacco will get persuaded to develop a green thumb for a small homegrowing endeavor. Production naturally tends to centralize at the places with the most experience. This law effectively encourages decentralized production.
Where such stuff of some value gets produced, there usually a trade & exchange economy follows up. Which needs a method of communication and a transport of value. Oh, and postal services of course.

CANN needs a link onto OpenBasar or similars.

Experienced the NuBits peg fail. They recovered enough for an insider escape. A failing peg is a death penalty.
Regarding hodling BTC - always sweet to hear those tunes - seemingly there are some insiders watching ETH these days.

Timescale isn't easy to predict, at all. We are like ten years underway so far. "redefine currency" is key. To be honest not even that point is clear, figuring out smart contracs, just Ethereum mentioned. Money that "interacts" with you isn't formerly known from paper bills.

I was more freaking out about $ 1337 but that's just me, markets moved further

The personality type of those investors you are mentioning, well they are "vulture optimistical". Remember that guy who bought in state debt'n'liabilities in south amerika.

LOL "altcoin pump standards" it's not that they are standardised in any form. What works, works out. What not, doesn't.
Ripple is somewhat centralized, capable of blocking funds or creating moar, even far moar coin supply out of thin air. Do. Not. Touch.
The others are valid more or not, I would pick out Ethereum as performing exceptionally well and offering the technology frontier. The privacy centric coins are somehow out of the past. There will always be mixing services available that do exchange dirty coins for clean ones, so privacy as a unique selling point does not hit any point, at all. It's unneeded on protocoll level.

There is at least a new horse pulling the carriage again, BUT I think D9 has to re-engage again, too. Just doing something at least again, he's mostly absent.
Last login has been January for CannabisCoinDev (who signed postings with ~DeltaNine so it's him) and oh well April for YESWECANN who signs ~DeltaNine too but is stated Gender: Female inside profile, so maybe related. Close relative, perhaps. Gemini maybe? Is blackhat part of the expanded family, too?

The Great Brittish Empire comes to mind, or at least the parts that are still left. Just hardly counting in as beeing european nowadays, but for histories' sake we can accept that. Trading pairs like BTC/GBP gaining daily volume? Perhaps soon.

Of course would be adding some tiny amount of inflation, people WILL use that against you on price prediction discussions. When beeing all fresh&young (know, tiiiime ago) I was wondering about bitcoin inflation where nobody talked about. Like 9.19% of total supply incoming fresh, and each year.
Below 2% yearly inflation people would not start to argue, most national economies are heading for a similar inflation goal.

Not really. The strain on a GPU doing SCRYPT is almost more than X11 or similar. And the ASICs race has explored that area, too.
My observation has been professional BTC miners stock some LTC mining equipment just in case. It's supported by the same group of people dominating BTC.

Could result into a small dip since the exspection of a dip is felt overwhelmingly. Recovering into a more cautious sideways move for some weeks. The global perspective did not changed much, small disturbances are more likely chances for the plucky ones.
