This sounds like a great way to support the cause towards mass adoption of cryptocurrency, but I wonder about regulatory hurdles? It would be great if you can expand further in that respect.

Hey all,

I ended up buying some TPT on Etherdelta as a part of an automated script, and then couldn't sell out of it due to low volume. I'm trying to find more information about this coin, and all I found was this: https://www.coinschedule.com/projects/1173/neverdie-ico.html

It looks like this is a gaming & VR coin that recently had a crowdfund. Why does it have such low trading volume? How come I can't find a website for this coin? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you!

Echoing what was said above, ICOAlert is good -- they also have a podcast where they interview some of the more high profile ones -- you can keep track of those too because they tend to be hot deals (examples include decentraland, monetha, blockcat).

Additionally, you can find ICO research from Smith and Crown - https://www.smithandcrown.com/

BitDice Casino is currently is the middle of an ICO - https://ico.bitdice.me

BitDice is an established and profitable Crypto gambling casino, and they're raising funds for their expansion strategy to take on the fiat gambling market. 70% of profits will be paid out to token holders each quarter in ETH. BitDice previously had an investor program that had 50% ROI. Please see a detailed analysis and a full financial model on my blog: https://flowersatdusk.github.io/bitdice

Obviously when trading on an exchange, the coin has been launched already so you get to have more information on its progress and its reception by the market. Plenty of ICOs do turn out to be duds though -- I have been thinking about participating in ICOs and started by making a chart of all ICOs talked about on the ICO alert podcast, at the ICO price vs current price -- most are below the ICO price, even though you may hear more about the ones that do well. Bancor for example -- ICO at 0.01 ETH, now ~0.008 ETH. Honestly if a coin is good you should be able to make a good profit even buying it after the ICO.

One must be careful and do the research, although sometimes just how "hot" an ICO is may be an indication of whether the price will pop once trading begins, if you're looking for short term gains -- this is similar to the IPO dynamic in the traditional finance world where institutional investors would get in on the hot deals before retail investors have a chance if only to flip and sell it right after (coming from someone that worked at several hedge funds -- some PMs would get in on hot deals just because they can, even if they don't like the stock fundamentally) -- some ICOs are exactly the same way, like decentraland, with larger/institutional investors getting in before retail investors get a chance.

Something else to be careful of is to beware of IOUs -- these are traded on HitBTC after an ICO but before tokens are released -- you're not actually buying the tokens in that case, but an IOU of the token -- price can become very inflated there from low volume, and can drop significantly after trading actually begins.

I like ethereum, NEO, IOTA

create a web wallet. export the wallet and save the private key. delete browser cookies. now you have a paper wallet 

hmm I remember the last time I checked the IOTA exchange it was the most expensive but now it's cheaper than bitfinex! I would think it fluctuates quite a bit given how low the volume is.

12% still sounds a bit high, but basically on Coinbase you get charged a fee for purchasing currency with fiat, and you get charged another transaction fee for sending it to an external account.

Coinbase charges 3.99% with credit / debit transactions, and 1.49% with a USD wallet. Then, when you send it to a wallet, you need to pay a network fee to the miners for processing this transaction -- this is set dynamically and may be higher or lower at the time of the transaction -- https://support.coinbase.com/customer/en/portal/articles/815435-does-coinbase-pay-miner-fees-?b_id=13521

So perhaps you were charged a particularly high network fee for sending your bitcoin.

I would still purchase through exchanges such as Coinbase and Kraken -- you can use Kraken if you have Euros -- localbitcoin charges at a premium to the market price -- someone still needs to pay the transaction fee to send bitcoin from one address to another, although it's possible that you can negotiate so that the seller pays the transaction to send it to your wallet (not sure, never purchased there) -- but generally why would you purchase bitcoin from random strangers rather than on an exchange?? They're selling at $100 - $200 premium to the market price!

Also, since you have Coinbase, you can setup a GDAX account -- GDAX is an exchange and it is free to to send coins between Coinbase and GDAX -- this is not a wallet but in case you would like to trade between the BTC, ETC, LTC, there's no need to pay any transaction fees to send to an exchange.

请问大家现在如何看待小蚁？

I'm very happy that neo's price has been going up during daytime hours in China in the past couple of days, seem to indicate to me that there's more support China? Once it catches on in China then the price can really go to the moon.

hey guys,

i'm new to the forum and iota is one of the coins i'm most excited about

what really sold me on iota is this interview with one of the founders - https://soundcloud.com/arthurfalls/ether-review-69-iota-the-post-blockchain-era

he seems like a solid guy and explains the tech quite well.

i'm surprised that upon searching for posts on iota in this forum, there are many posts from 1 to 2 years ago of people thinking iota is a scam and being very frustrated. can someone explain to me why?

I'm happy to assist with Chinese translation. Send me a message!
