What services which allow to multiply our STEEM (Steem Power/ by leasing etc) are the most attractive now?
What are the ways to earn additional STEEM at all? I heard about services which allow to delegate votes or so - I am looking for the best way to allow my SPs to not lay useless when I am not using steem Wink

Delegate to a bid bot such as smartsteem or upmewhale and they will send your share of the bids daily.

That may not be the highest return possible (and probably isn't) but it is definitely the easiest by far.

You can find a list of operating bid bots here: https://steembottracker.com/

Isn't there a more ethical way to earn rewards on our stake?
Not that I'm completely against bid bots, but I'd rather invest in something that benefits Steem overall.

Also, surprised to see you here, didn't know you were an active Bitcointalk user Tongue

Sure, you can curate yourself or delegate to a curator and agree to split the rewards somehow. However, earnings will be a lot less than a bid bot. Alternately you can try to find a paid lease deal (eg. via dlease) where the lessee isn't just looking to self-vote or beef up their bid bot. Not necessarily easy, but perhaps possible.

Unfortunately, the incentives on the Steem blockchain are pretty broken, so when someone asks what is the best way to earn a return and someone asks how to benefit Steem the answers are a lot more different than I would like. I'd like to think that the incentives can be reworked and and better aligned, and that this can happen relatively soon, but there is no way to know for sure whether or when that will actually happen.

As usual new highs will lead to new digging. Will be interesting to see how this cycle plays out.

Really interesting! A coin with no real use, that is only traded in a single exchange that has raised in price a lot in the last months, should crash very hard, or has something under the sleeve.

Until recently (liquidation) it was also traded on cryptopia. And still on yobit. Maybe someday they will fix their wallet, who knows.

With enough activity, some other exchanges may pick it up.

What to do in our coin in Cryptopia ? Im fucked there now. Any body from Clam team try to reach them please?

"Given the complexities involved we expect the investigation to take months rather than weeks" https://www.cryptopia.co.nz

Sit and wait

Basically, they reopened deposits and pwned a few more fools on the way out.

Redic.

Most deposits including CLAM were not opened. The few wallets that were open (BTC and a few others) were also open for withdraws. It doesn't look at all that scammy, just disorganized.

If it was the other way around and a large portion of the voters were rejecting it, maybe you'd have been happy with the voting structure, right?

I actually have no stake in this (don't own any AE, never did), so no I truly don't care. I commented because it was pointed out to me as being scammy and after looking at it, I agree.

Maybe you really had no idea that the way you set up the vote biased the results. And maybe you had no idea in general that the ability to control the structure and rules of a vote can often be leveraged to influence the outcome any way you like, essentially overriding the desires and intents of the voters. Maybe.

Any sufficiently profitable incompetence is indistinguishable from fraud.

Maybe you don't care about that either. But if you do care you will take more care in your ensuring that your actions are not only (allegedly) well-intended, but demonstrably and structurally above suspicion. Have a great day.

It is not perfect, but it should be implemented so we can learn how to do the next one better. All the feedback we are getting as part of the BRI is appreciated and will be considered in the future votes.

The AE Team

You don't do a vote on as critically important decision as how the money supply is distributed if by your own admission you having yet figured out how votes should work. Maybe you vote on something like whether the color of the logo should be changed.

This vote was a botch job and should be rerun with a structure that don't bias the outcome in one direction and selectively disenfranchise (via forced vote-splitting) one point of view.

How the votes work has been figured out fine and we stand by this decision. We just said that some things could have been different in terms of timeframe for instance and that would be taken into account next time. You too can change your vote before the deadline if you want.

Best,
The AE Team

Changing votes is not a solution. There can be last minute changes by other voters (including very large voters, which has been demonstrated _in practice_ on other chains recently) which mean that any change you might make could turn out to be the opposite of what you want by the end.

The only solution is to structure the vote better, and to not make really important votes as a "learning process".

You're going to get away with this, that is quite clear (and in fact insiders might have enough votes to push through anything you want anyway no matter how the vote is structured, as has also been seen routinely with blockchains projects), but that doesn't change the fact that it stinks and you've done your project and brand no favors by engaging in such shenanigans.

In case anyone is wondering I did a small test depositing to and withdrawing from Poloniex and both worked, albeit with some odd and unexplained delays. Can't guarantee it will always work, of course.
171  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: AE GOVERNANCE IS A FRAUD on: May 10, 2019, 10:37:48 AM

Simple question.

What should I vote if I want to minimize the amount of the BRI?

The answer is either 0% or 1%, depending on what I expect the outcome of the vote to be. Since no can really know this, your voting rules force voters holding such a preference to guess and essentially split their votes. The effect is similar to a 'spoiler' candidate in a plurality election, which can result in the least-preferred candidate winning.

I don't know if I agree with the word 'scam' here, but if one is to instead assume good faith, your election was incompetently designed and not efficient in assessing the actual preferences of the voters.

173  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: May 07, 2019, 06:28:28 PM
From what I understand of mimblewimble is there are no records kept

There are no records kept in the *blockchain*. But every full node receives all the intermittent states of each transaction, and there is nothing stopping them from logging that information. It requires some credulity to think there are no interested parties who have logged Grin from the genesis block.

A self-pruning blockchain does not equate to a fungible blockchain.
Exactly! That's my understanding too. With some full nodes running you can store/trace transactions the same way as Bitcoin blockchain. Grin is not fungible/privacy coin.

Same as Bitcoin is a bit unfair. Bitcoin has frequent address reuse and visible amounts, both of which make blockchain analysis easier and more effective.

Grin is somewhere in between Bitcoin and Monero in terms of privacy.

175  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Steem pyramid scheme revealed on: April 21, 2019, 10:24:05 PM
No big pyramid (Ponzi) scheme lasts for 3 years. Of course, Steem is not a pyramid scheme. If it were a pyramid scheme, the value of STEEM would have gone to 0 in one or two years, and we are already starting the fourth year.

Haha no. Madoff's Ponzi scheme went on for decades.

That doesn't mean Steem is or isn't a pyramid or Ponzi scheme, but 3 years is really nothing.

..., the client will scan the entire blockchain, which is about 73 GB.

In about a month, this 70GB will reduce into 25GB.
What's the command to prune the blockchain?

Add --prune-blockchain to the daemon command line

Looks amazing. If I understand right it will be fully included in next BisQ release. Right now you can only trade if you build it from source.

any further experience ? i hear that bisq has recently upgraded..

Looks to me like there is a live market. Not so active but functional.

https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/pull/108

My comment on reddit:

The thinking behind this is discussed elsewhere in the many ASIC-resistant vs. ASIC-friendly discussions but in general we want to stabilize this portion of the protocol so there is not a need for mining-economics-driven forks, including dangerous emergency forks, nor centralized determination of how and when to change the PoW. We fully expect that:

* There will be an arms race through various mining technologies and, at times, for a time, there may be a dominant player.
* Given the small size of AEON (as well as any other coins using keccak variants) it may be a while before there are any actual ASICs, much less a competitive market for them.
* Eventually the simplicity and hardware-friendliness of Keccak-based hashes means that barriers to creating ASICs will be low and the market will become competitive as quickly as possible

Meanwhile, we can all let miners be miners (using whatever approaches they choose to take to drive the hash rate over time to its highest and most secure equilibrium), and focus our efforts on building other aspects of the AEON protocol, implementation, and ecosystem.
