Lol. EOS does not have a single quality that makes it a good cryptocurrency. It is not decentralized. It is not trustless. It allows a small number of people to completely dictate who is and is not allowed to use their system, with no regulation or oversight whatsoever. It is literally worse than a fiat bank.

I understand you are bagholding EOS, and you therefore have an inherent bias in its favour (that's not a criticism, it happens to almost everyone). However, the sooner you get over this bias and realise that EOS is a scam, the less you will get burned in the longterm.

So I've just downloaded and used Ledger Live with my Ledger Nano. Some first impressions:

When using it with a pre-initialized device, you have to first answer two security questions ("Did you choose your PIN code by yourself?" and "Did you save your recovery phrase by yourself?"), and it then performs a security check on your device to confirm it is genuine. Nice feature to help stop the second-hand scams that we saw earlier this year.

You can set a password to stop Ledger Liver being opened and any offline data (such as portfolio tracking) being accessed. This is obviously entirely separate from the security on the hardware wallet itself.

The interface is smooth and sleek - see the album of screenshots in the post above this one. It is very easy to navigate and gives on screen instructions about when and where you need to navigate on your hardware wallet.

My only complaint is this - The portfolio tracker will only track coins with native Ledger compatibility - Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash, Ripple, PivX, Litecoin, etc. It does not support coins that use Ledger with a separate wallet - Neo, Ark, Stellar, Nano, all ERC20 tokens, etc. I had really hoped to be able to do away with third party apps like Delta or Blockfolio and have my Ledger monitor all my accounts in real time. Unfortunately this is not yet the case.

Given that EOS is a centralized scam, and you can have your coins seized and transactions reversed at any time and for any reason without having any say in the matter, I would say pretty much any other coin is better.

Even ignoring the fact that the writing style and behaviour of this account has totally changed, signing a message from an old address proves nothing considering you have already admitted that you are renting your account out to others.

Great way to prove my point guys. Thanks for that. You can keep your endlessly shilled scamcoin to yourselves.

I wouldn't call it exploitation. Binance have showed their professionalism time and time again. Their customer service and communication with the community when something goes wrong is second to none. Just compare them to the likes of Coinbase, and it is easy to see why they are the number one exchange in the world right now.

More good news for BNB holders, as Binance will continue to spend a portion of their profits to buyback and burn some of their tokens.

It's already happening. If you want to pay with Bitcoin at your local farmers' market, the first step is asking. Sellers are unlikely to go out of their way to accept crypto unless they know there is a demand for it.

Europeans can currently use Bittrex as is. Unless they are planning to introduce pairings against the Euro, I don't see what they are trying to achieve here?

This is the most important question by far. So many new coins are just trying to cash in on blockchain technology. What they are proposing (if they are proposing anything at all, and not just an outright scam) is usually easily solvable without blockchain, a coin, a token or an ICO. They are trying to create a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

I don't understand why people get so hyped about Coinbase adding a new coin. There are exchanges like Binance and Bittrex that are adding new coins every day. Coinbase's support is legendarily awful, they had to freeze trades around their launch of BCH because of insider trading, and their fees are extortionate. I don't know why anyone with any sense still uses them.

No, and I'll tell you why:

Can you tell me anything specific*, literally anything, about what makes CyberMiles a good coin?

They have employed an army of shills that know nothing about crypto that spam nonsense on every platform you can find. That's not the makings of a good coin.

Not vacuous nonsense like "great team" or "good project", like the rest of your shilling buddies spam.

This is something I've been thinking on for the last 24 hours. The best I could come up with is to disable signatures unless a required selection of courses has been completed. However, this will just create a bigger market for account farmers, and I can't see a way to prevent that.

Twine is actually a great idea. With Sugarcube you can easily go forward and back through the material, link to extra or external resources, use multimedia files, etc. as well as allowing users to save their progress to return to at a later date.

In terms of having real life educators involved - I have postgraduate teaching qualifications, regularly teach at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level, and am regularly appraised and evaluated on my teaching to keep my methods and skills up-to-date. However, I have no qualifications in tech, computing, or anything even remotely related to Bitcoin or blockchain technology. I'm not sure how helpful I could be in overseeing material that I potential don't understand myself, and I'm sure the same applies of others. I think you might need to find someone who educates specifically in the tech field to take this on.

There are plenty of free platforms online for creating and sharing courses - Udemy, Teachable, Google Open Education, etc. The challenge will be to integrate the platform with the forum - I doubt any existing software would offer this functionality.

Maybe Quickseller's suggestion of PowerPoint style courses would be more easy to integrate?

So if we are saying that it's best to create tools that are linked to forum accounts, but also saying that the forum is not the best medium to deliver these courses, then we need to find a platform that can support such courses and that can be linked to forum accounts.

I like the idea a lot. The challenge as I see it is less in creating the content, however, and more in getting people to use it.

Of the topics you've listed a number of them already have guide threads stickied in various places. People don't read them. Just look at Jet Cash's excellent Fit To Talk project which was struggling to find participants, even with the promise of some merit on the line.

Having said that, if we are looking at this not just as a way of improving the forum, but also as a way of improving the entire crypto community, it's a great idea.

For the full version, yes. I use the free version, which has full functionality (and I prefer it over Blockfolio), but only allows you to sync across 2 devices. The paid version lets you sync across more devices and have multiple portfolios, as well as some other smaller upgrades.

Oh, absolutely. Amniocentesis carries a 1 in 200 risk of miscarriage. Coupled with the fact that it is time consuming and expensive, it is only offered when there is suspicion of serious chromosomal abnormalities. As you say, ultrasound is the only routinely offered test for gender, which is very, but not 100%, accurate.

We could also throw mitochondrial DNA in to the mix, which is inherited exclusively from your mother. As a side note, the evolutionary origins of mitochondria are truly fascinating if you are interested in this sort of thing - that is, they were a species of bacteria (likely Rickettsiales) that were taken up by other more "advanced" cells and utilised in a symbiotic relationship. Over time the two organisms evolved to where we are today, such that we cannot live without one another and are now recognised as a single organism.



I'm not sure that's correct. Amniocentesis creates a profile of the baby's chromosomes, and therefore sex can be determined by looking for the X and Y chromosomes.



Appreciate it. I tend to get a bit soapboxy on topics like this, so apologies in advance.
