You should have posted this topic in Altcoin Discussion as we are discussing about ICO. A token price during an ICO is set by the founder of the coin/token. Most of the token founders set their token price as 0.1$/token so that more people would invest in them considering the coin/token price. You need to understand that a ICO and a market price are different.
Most of the tokens/coins open up in the exchanges less than the ICO price. This price is called as the Market price. If there is a higher supply of coin/token for example it is around 1 Billion the price would be low unless there is a huge demand for the coin in the market. If the coin supply is too low and there is a very huge demand of coin in the market, the coin price would shoot up too high such as Btc/Ethereum. Btc has a very limited amount of 21 million coins which would be generated and being the first cryptocurrency has a high demand for it, hence the rise in price.
Coming to your second question, the share hold down by the company is based on their own wish. You could find the % of total supply retained by the founders in their whitepaper. There is no such amount for them to hold.

Most of the members has put their view on the hardware wallets. Let me put on mine. Been a user of Ledger for more than half a year. Hardware wallet has an important advantage over hot/web wallet, even if the wallet is lost/broken we can restore our money by our seed phrase.
Ledger supports a huge amount of coins/tokens when compared to Trezor and a trezor wallet is been made up of plastic whereas a Ledger is made up of steel which increases its support for good quality. Ledger on the other hand uses the 4pin setup which further increases its security.
According to a user above after the release of 1.4.1 there has been too less possibilities of down time or software being slow for accepting too much of currencies. Since a 4 pin setup is done by you, a hacker must know the pin to send crypto from one wallet to another.
When you are ordering a wallet, the wallet is taped so that when it is altered, you can contact the support team so that you will not be phished. Ledger has a important addon such that they can be setup without being plugged to a computer which even increases your privacy further.

It is based on the ICO which you have participated. While the ICO is finished, the token or coin would be listed on the exchange which they would be mentioning them during the end of sale. It is of no use to sell your coins once they are listed on exchanges. Most of the tokens or coins would open up lesser than the ICO price in the exchanges. If you have bought the coin at a price of 1$ in ICO, the coin would open up at around 0.5$ for example. I suggest you to hold till the price rises otherwise you would end up in a loss

If you have too much of tokens or ethereum, you could buy a ledger or trezor. But if you'r having low value, you could go for Metamask. Metamask is another hot wallet where the computer you are accessing is connected to the web. Metamask wallet is protected by the 12 word seed along with the password. If in case a hacker had connected to your computer some how, he should access your metamask wallet by writing down the password provided you have set the password.
Hence for you to minimize the risk to a larger extent, I would suggest you to store the seed phrase and password in a offline location. On the other hand, metamask is trying to implement the hardware wallet support in the near future. If the value is high, you need to absolutely store your eth and tokens in a offline location.

Yes monero is right now considered to be the most anonymous currency available in the market. Most of the newbies think btc is anonymous, but it is not. Monero is anonymous in the sense they do not even reveal the transaction between members. Monero uses new technology such as ring signatures. Ring signatures are the ones where the public key is verified without the private key being revealed.
Monero uses kovri which is a work in progress application where users IP are hidden while the transaction is made. Monero also uses the stealth address technology where the sender sends the transaction to certain addresses but the outside members doesn't know to whom does the address belong. These are pretty good to make the monero truly anonymous.
Other currencies which are truly anonymous may include Zcash, komodo, Zcoin, Nav coin, Verge and Dash.

Have you saved your custom token? MEW only recognizes popular tokens and not all the tokens issued in the ICO's. Hence you should add your custom token which you bought during ICO or have received them after an airdrop. Before adding, check if its already available. You can do them by clicking "Show all tokens" button. If you have the coins in particular token, it would automatically show it from the next time.
Most of the times, token would not be present in the list. At that time, just visit ethplorer and insert your wallet address and check that you received the tokens. If so, click on them you will get the token symbol, decimals, contract address. Now visit MEW and press "Add custom token" and then enter these 3 infos and click Save.
By these ways, you can see your tokens if they are not present in the custom tokens list issued by the MEW. There is no such thing which disappears, they are still safely present in your wallets.

Don't worry your thread would be filled with spams by today and you would receive a huge amount of one liner replies for your question. mocacinno may think here is another shitposting spam reply which is gonna recommend blockchain. No it's not, jackkun try to the read the post completely and then reply if you really need to. Just stick on to the first reply by mocacinno and here is a little addon for the wallets list which could help you in saving your money. Never use blockchain as they are not even trustworthy nor fully doesn't support the new features. If you are really going to try web wallets go for green address as they are the first web wallet to support segwit address. Segwits start with 3 and it reduces your transaction fees to a lot. Both the hardware wallets(trezor and nano ledger) supports segwit and also the classic Bitcoin core and electrum. A paper segwit wallet could also be trustworthy as states above. Go for segwitaddress.org as they create paper wallets along with segwit support. In addition to the best wallets as said above you learned a new concept today (segwit) Am I talking too much about segwits in this forum  No, I am just promoting segwits for newbies so that they won't fall in the trap of higher btc fees and complain the network |

I read through the whitepaper of them and it has really a good project to take off. Even the blockchain technology is pretty new and most of the world technology has started using them just this year. There were people who said Ethereum is a scam project which implemented its own blockchain which was called to be the Blockchain 2.0 where Smart Contracts were a good innovation. Blockchain 3.0 is still itself in the starting stage with cardano and it is too early to think about Blockchain 4.0
But multiversum has took a unique approach on the project by implementing the 4th gen blockchain which consists of Splittable chains and also reducing the transaction speed to as low as 0.2 seconds. Multiversum also uses Proof of Integrity instead of Proof of Stake concept and the team is pretty active in the media for promoting their ICO. But on the downward side they may even fail if the idea is not implemented properly.

Can you explain what compiling errors you got while compiling the source? As blackcoin /peercoin both of them are done in C environment you need to read through source code and make some changes to suit your own coin. If you are good in C programming check through the .h and .cpp and make the required changes. Have you forked the coin? This altcoin discussion is being filled spams, so it has very little possibility for others to read through your question  |

As I have said in most of the replies, the only book you need to read is "Mastering Bitcoin: Programming the Open Blockchain" by Andreas M. Antonopoulos. This book currently has 2 editions. I suggest you to buy the latest 2nd edition which covers topics on Segregated Witnesses, Lightning Network and many more newer technologies which is to be implemented.
This book is mostly very helpful for developers as it helps us in programming our own blockchain and it helps us understand how bitcoin and blockchain works in technical point of view. But for non-technical users, first 3-4 chapters gives us a clear insight on the working of the bitcoin. If you know crypto programming, this book is the one you will be looking for, but even though you don't know anything about programming this book's starting chapters are worth a read.
This book costs around 30$ in amazon. But buy this book only if you are basic programmer otherwise you could end up reading only the starting chapters of the book.

You understanding of coins and tokens are certainly wrong.
A coin is nothing but a cryptocurrency which is built mostly by forking the bitcoin protocol or sometimes on their own. An altcoin is a coin which relies on their own developed blockchain and protocol and they don't depend on other platform. A majority of coins are built on their own blockchain where transactions related to their own coins occur.
Examples : Ethereum, Ripple, Dogecoin
A token is also a cryptocurrency which depends on another blockchain to perform it's operation. Most of the tokens are built in ethereum blockchain and creating a token is much more very easier than building your own coin. Any one can create a token of they are used to ethereum or waves platform. The process of creating your own token can be made possible by the use of smart contracts.
Tokens are distributed mostly through Initial Coin Offering whereas coins are mined to create a new coin.

Exchanges like coinbase are famous for freezing the funds of clients if they doubt that clients are indulged in any malpractices. Having your coins in a exchange could be safe only when you don't have a huge amount in them. If the coins you are holding are huge, then you are in a greater risk of losing them.
Moreover exchanges are exposed to hacks most of the times and you may lose your precious coins which you have earned through the years in a go. If you are not in hold of your private keys, you are the one who doesn't hold your coins. Many ordinary investors choose some exchanges to keep their savings, but it is really a dangerous way of holding your coins. Exchanges acts as real time banks, which means you are safe unless the bank is robbed and your money is lost.
Try securing your coins in a hardware wallet or paper wallet and when you feel the right time to trade, transfer them to exchanges.

Sorry none of your posts are eligible for awarding merits. Twitter reaudit is really helpful and helps most people finding out their real/fake followers. I encourage you to continue doing this kind of work. It is very helpful. Thank you. Not very informative or helpful. This kind of answer has been answered really huge number of times. Please feel free to resubmit if you feel any of your other posts was worth meriting. Did you copy both of these posts from any site? I can't figure out why have you posted the Hash and Block thread in Technical Discussion. As someone below said, your information is already readily available in google, then why are you posting them here. It doesn't add to a discussion nor was a question seeking for a reply. Kindly move the thread to Beginners and Help so that it could be useful to someone around. Its clear that you have been trying to post some random informative things and trying to increase your post count. As nullius said,if its a copied post i will too be reporting it for copy/pasting. In the future don't try to post information which is considered useless here. I didn't give a merit for Bitcoin Mining thread because as already said it is not helpful and you already gained a merit for that. If you feel my comment is harsh, just leave them aside and feel free to resubmit if you feel something is worth the merit. I have given this post a Merit. Was helpful and informative. I could have given this post a merit,but you have already received them thrice and I am running low on merits. You are a guy with really good posting quality and really good in getting merits. But why are you offering them rarely to posts? I suggest you to merit people frequently so that others too could get them. |

Kindly review this... Segwit addresses are nothing but soft fork which solves the long debated scalability and malleability issue of the bitcoin. They just segregates or takes away the signature out of the transaction data, so that the signatures can't be changed at a later time to prevent the losing or stealing of btc. By this way a size of the transaction becomes lower and hence more transactions can be filled inside a block and increasing the transaction speed and there by reducing the fees. Many of the wallets are opting for segwit day by day and the latest one being the Core wallet. Wallets which support segwit addresses: Hardware Wallets:Hardware wallets has been a great deal of storage for people using cryptos. Nano Ledger and Trezor are the best wallets out there to store your crypto assets safely and first and quick in implementing newer stuffs. Not only they support segwits, they also allow you to change the fees of satoshis/byte. Desktop Wallets:When coming to desktop wallets, the best one will be the classic core wallet. But Core adopted segwit just this week and it is pretty new. You can also use Electrum for segwit supports, as they adopted segwits prior to core. Just go the official Core/Electrum website and download the latest version and set up the wallet. Web/Mobile Wallets:Green Address and Greenbits has been an early adopter of segwit and they are really secure. Greenbits was the first mobile wallet to implement segwit and if you need to try web wallet, go for Green Address. Paper Wallets:The classic way of storing coins in earlier days were Paper. If you are a paper wallet user, reach out for segwitaddress.org where you can create your own segwit wallet. |

Btc will never reach even 1000$, being the first successful digital currency btc paved way for many currencies to open in the market. There was a time when people said Internet was a bubble and it will be destroyed but today it is the one ruling today's technological world. Similarly most of the people are against cryptos and the same would happen which is that it would never stop growing and more people and investors would be attracted towards them in the near future. Once the demand for the crypto increases similarly the price increases which leads to the globalised adoption. At one point of time in the future, there would never be fiat and the world would start using digital currency.
By considering these factors, btc would never go as low as even 1000$. This is not the one to do trading, it will be used as payment system one-day.

Do you think ripple can go past 10$. Ripple having really huge volume in circulation, its nearly not possible for ripple to reach such high price. Ripple is a centralized currency which hinders many people to invest in the currency and moreover Ripple being held over by Ripple Labs, the lab can just produce so much amount of currency, which will even more reduce the current rate. Since dumping 20xrp into the wallet for carrying out any transactions is considered to be a bad idea as the price of 1xrp=~1$ which means we need to have atleast 20usd in the wallet to be active. There was a time around Jan, when people thought xrp would be listed in coinbase which increases its price even higher, but sadly coinbase's rejection reduced the price even more lower  Since there are many cons with ripple, it will be very unlikely that ripple will compete with btc, as btc is getting more and more recognition nowadays for many technical improvements it is undergoing. |

Cryptopia is being used nowadays at a larger base. Btc is a universally accepted currency, hence you can trade anything with Btc. As per my knowledge on Cryptopia, it mostly uses only btc for trading with other currencies. Hence I suggest you to sell your Eth for Btc and then buy Btx with Btc.
If you already have Btc in your wallet, its simple...
Press the Exchange button- Select the pair as BTC/BTX, then buy btx
If you don't have Btc in your wallet,
Press the Exchange button- Select the pair as Eth/Btc, buy btc with eth and then trade Btc for Btx.
If cryptopia doesn't support Eth for buying, you don't have any other chance. You need to sell your eth for btc and then buy your btx with btc.
