I'm pretty impressed with Moac's 100,000+ TPS and decentralization

I read that article this morning too, it's pretty impressive number and I look forward to seeing more adoption liek this one
164  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What relevance does a financial historian have on crypto? on: March 06, 2019, 12:42:05 AM
At first glance, there is no relevance. Because at the fundamental aspects,,, crypto is completely different from fiat as a monetary system. But that was the era of Bitcoin.

Now we have tokens, centralized and issued by companies (think of Ripple) and we even have stablecoins,,, and such things as securities tokens now.

So, all these forms of crypto are basically having the same principles of financial management as fiat. Therefore, expertise from financial historians make sense for them.

I agree, you couldn't have said it much better. What are your thoughts on the Ampleforth protocol and why a historian would want to join them in the first place?
165  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't give up yet on: March 06, 2019, 12:26:36 AM
I agree! We are seeing greater adoption not only in the US but even in other countries. The China Mobile and Moac partnership really struck me, could you imagine if something like that happened in the states?
166  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will the era change from ICO (Initial Coin Offering) to STO (Security Token O) on: March 06, 2019, 12:24:50 AM
I am honestly really excited to see how these play out in the long run. I think STOs will be successful especially Polymath's platform seems ideal for investors

I recently saw this article about financial historian Niall Ferguson join Ampleforth as one of their advisors.. what are your thoughts?

168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you thing Cryptocurrency can last forever? on: February 21, 2019, 01:24:35 AM
I definitely think it will last forever or at least for a while. I guess even fiat won't last forever  Kiss

Meh. I don't really believe it esp with the amount of work that is being done to ethereum
170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why People Choose Cryptocurrency? on: February 06, 2019, 09:40:49 PM
I think people choose cryptocurrency becuase it promises to pick up the slack that fiat money leaves behind. A money that is not centralized and one that doesn't lose value over time. It needs to be stable in account.

I've been interested in ampleforth as a project because of their promise to uphold both unit of account and storage of wealth. their demand fluctuates, not the actual price. Not sure if there are other protocols that are doing the same thing.
171  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in 2019 on: February 06, 2019, 09:31:29 PM
I'm definitely interested to see the evolution of icos, like will they cool off? will they transition into something else?

I think people are starting to stay more clear of them as regulations start to buckle down.
172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you already own some GRIN privacy coins? on: February 06, 2019, 04:08:38 AM
I can't stop thinking about getting involved, I have a friend who already has some so i'm pretty inspired
173  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Blockchain friendly countries? on: January 18, 2019, 07:22:03 PM
I've been doing a lot of research on Blockchain-friendly countries. While everyone loves to taut Malta, I'd like to introduce New Zealand.

Although generally overlooked due to its size, New Zealand has one of the world's most vibrant Blockchain ecosystem.
For a country of only 4 million people, they really punch above their weight.
To start with, the government has awarded grants to Blockchain companies like Vimba.
The general quality of projects in NZ is pretty high. I want to focus on two: Sylo & Centrality.
Both hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, they're working together to integrate decentralized solutions into our daily life.
You're probably already familiar with Centrality, they raised about $90m in early 2018. They're a venture studio for Blockchain projects, and they're doing some cool stuff, like working within New Zealand's already vibrant startup scene to empower other tech startups. They integrate blockchain projects into their family.

174  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How to mine Grin coin - Step by Step Guide with Windows on: January 18, 2019, 07:19:42 PM
Hello Everyone! At approximately 16:01 UTC 15/1/2018, the very much hyped MimbleWimble protocol enabled privacy coin Grin was launched.
Since then, miners all around the world have been asking the same question: “How do I mine some Grins?”

To share our mining experience with the community, we decided to write a Step by Step guide on how to mine Grin on Windows 10 with NVIDIA GPUs.

We published it at https://www.coingecko.com/buzz/how-to-mine-grin

PS: 4 steps Smiley

Let us know what you think and share with us your mining experience!

Cool thanks man! I've been really intrigued by the hyped MimbleWimble protocol. Gunna give it a shot.
175  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your favorite stablecoin?? on: January 18, 2019, 07:18:23 PM
Been seeing a lot of talk about stablecoins lately like this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/shermanlee/2018/03/12/explaining-stable-coins-the-holy-grail-of-crytpocurrency/#432e3ce84fc6

What do you guys think about them? My personal favorite would be Havven since they're not pegged to fiat or gold and is trustless.

Honestly, Ampleforth because it falls in line more with true crypto than any stablecoin.
176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT WHEN EVALUATING A CRYPTO PROJECT on: January 18, 2019, 07:17:05 PM
Fellows, I would like to ask you to describe your evaluation process of a crypto project:

What do you look at?
In what order?
When looking at some X factor, when do you judge it in a positive or a negative manner?
What a project needs to have for you to invest on it?

Tks

There are a lot of pieces to it but definitely first is to understand the whitepaper and if it aligns with the true purpose of crypto. I also like to check out their community and see if the founders are involved in the conversation. Check out crunchbase and make sure they are legit and then also checking security audit updates. I've been a follower of Ampleforth for some time because they hit all these marks and just recently released their second security audit which they detailed on their blog. Pretty cool if you haven't heard of them.

They say that building a dapp will be effortless...curious if that's really true. I guess I'll see for myself
178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: COMPANIES IN JAPAN PAYING SALARY IN BITCOIN on: November 15, 2018, 09:52:42 PM
I've heard of many companies paying in bitcoin. Although I'm curious how taxation works
179  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH vs EOS vs NEO vs MOAC vs ICON vs ADA on: November 15, 2018, 09:51:54 PM
Thanks for sharing. I have to look more into how MOAC stacks against Ethereum and EOS. Although MOAC seems to be holding up pretty well this week in comparison to everyone else
180  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top 100 coin BUT only on TWO exchanges?! on: November 15, 2018, 09:50:58 PM
What about MOAC? They've been around forever and they have some good progress they're pushing
