It seems that it will not be happening.

That s sad for me since i wanted to see what would happen if they did. I was thinking that it would have been a great success.

OKEY! I am wrong.
Actually this time I dont mind being wrong

My apologies.

Its seems that your math is very bad.

2% of all tokens are given away in bounty = 2 000 000 *2%
25 % of that is to signature campaign = 2 000 000 *2% *25%
Divided by total shares 2 000 000 *2% *25% / 2600 =3,84

OMG, i had to reply to you.
Quantum computing is so far away, media do not know what they are talking about.

Also I have to agree with "Barbarian" banks will have to react in one way or other. I am thinking A- they will push for bans and regulations B - try to adapt
Or B comes after A

I think that this thread has a problem from the beginning - how do you define a BANK? A BTC BANK?

Coinbase, Bitstamp and others already fulfil most of the real life FIAT bank tasks - holding, trading , verifying identities.

I think the most important matter is that there is fast options to get the currencies out, so there would not be this fundamental problem with banks, that one has the money theoretically but in reality bank is just giving you assurances that in event of withdrawal you will have this amount. There are so many examples when banks have gone under because the management has lost the money of their customers in schemes.

I started trading few months ago and do not trade BTC. Why? Because the potential profits are small compared to other alts.
If I had 2000 $ and additional funds to invest right now, I would consider BTC for long term.

Right now half of mine money is in Ripple, it is seeing significant movement in the past days and I am holding for short term.
In near future I am planning to Buy Monero for long term because I believe that it is overlooked and has potential because of anonymity.
Also for short term- LTC , because it is overlooked.

Also in my portfolio is NEO and BTCCash- which was a bad decision, cant see how i will get back my investment now.

Overall strategy is to trade relatively big on popular currencies and invest gains in new promising project for big potential gains.

I only recently found out about AIRDROPS.

And do not understand the difference between them.
Bounty- you get reward for job which can have different terms for different projects.

Airdrops- you register for airdrops which happen periodically without doing anything?
This seems too good to be true.
Also I recently saw a project where they where airdropping if you make 10 posts a week. In this case this is just a different type of bounty pay out and there is no difference at all. Correct me if i am wrong.

For me this kind of situation when value of coin is going up in anticipation of conference and big news is not understandable.
I would say that people do not like change and fear it thus want to sell coins in order to be safe.

Right now the opposite is happening, people are buying not selling.
That being said in last week it was looking that ripple wants to go up but could not quite manage it, maybe now its time.

Also almost a week ago i went ahead and bought some.

Ok, the idea is great, Tor community needs these kinds of solutions.
But.
In my mind there are a lot of questions right now , why DeepOnion is needed if there is other alternatives ready for use. Monero, Dash, etc.
Please correct me if I am wrong, I just dont see why there is need for another anonymous coin. Is there advantages of this particular coin?

Instantly rich- thats quite funny, everyone on this planet is hoping for that, at least the ones who are not rich 

BTC cant make you rich instantly , you have to have right capital to invest .Although BTC has huge value compared to other alts, the increase is not so huge . Over time you can double your money or triple it maybe but it will take a lot of patience . For example this in mind is good approximation :
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/6000-bitcoin-price-within-reach-by-end-of-year/
 So in order to get rich in this scenario by end of this year, one should invest a lot of money!

Also there is option to use Forex type trading with leverage but that has high gambling factor. 

I personally send BTC to Bitstamp and withdraw to my Bank account.

I assume that in India there is no such option.
I would suggest that the best options would be to sell your BTC locally like in local bitcoins. Maybe try to use twitter or Facebook to find potential buyers faster.

The amount of denial here is surprising to me, because the illegal deals of block-chain are a considerable part of system.
That being said I am not gonna make waves here
Will only note that I have been on DarkSide but not have bought anything and that was a long time before cops got around . As far as I know BTC is no longer the king of currencies there because there are other more anonymous, faster and with cheaper transactions out there.

First that i am hearing about sentry. I am cautious of them right now, dont know if their goal is achievable.

Other coins I am monitoring and thinking of buying this month are:
Monero
LTC
Namecoin ( if falls beneath 1$)
Siacoin
Paragoncoin (after crowdsale is done)

This would make a very poor definition   : " You are investing your money and time."
When you sit down by roulette table you are investing your time and money.

But on more serious note , Every investment is gambling , you never know what will happen, you can only study as hard as you can and make decisions based on your information. Often there is no indications of what is going to happen. BTC can drop to half the price and stay there for months, you never know. If you wont be patient in this certain time frame , you can lose big.

 

This is so not true.
One of the most beautiful parts is apparent anonymity so that governments and banks cant freeze your money or track it even if its legally obtained. What is yours is yours.

Besides it is hard but it is possible to track BTC in some level.

to reply the original post, i think it is foolish to assume that BTC increased criminality , criminal minds tend to use criminal opportunities. Thus law enforcement only got more information about these criminals when they used BTC in their criminal activities otherwise they would not have had information about their criminal activities because they would have done other activities.

I like your theory. This idea is something that I am adopting recently. It does not matter if the project is bad or not, the important thing is whether the public believes in it and buys it.  The market rules.

Was very optimistic about the climb of NEO, do not have an idea why it started to fall after hitting ~36$,any ideas?
But in the same time it is good opportunity to buy again,more!

Do you have any source for this information?

And to answer the original question.
It will definitely not die. But i am wondering what would happen in the scenario when China bans mining?
How would that impact the price and transaction speeds and the whole network ?

First of all the China influence is almost* gone, the market now represents  all other countries combined. And it is doing very well.
Second. China will definitely come back in some level because it si just plain stupid not to. This is too big industry to do so.

*there should be considerable amount of Chinese players in the market right now who are bypassing this ban.

In case of good news from China, it would wonderful for all of us who are invested.

I think that the argument that a lot of technology is adapted from military is valid,but i do not see any military use of this.

On other hand the CIA could have been interested to make something completely anonymous for their black operations and could believe that.
Also i dont believe that one person could have developed something so complex in respect to other technology at the time.
