Better ask that question on the airdrop announcement thread of that certain coin instead. Each cryptocurrency's airdrops differ in airdrop time/date, as well as the transaction times.
16482  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you agree with Warren Buffett's Thoughts on Bitcoin on: October 31, 2017, 05:35:41 PM
I disagree with what he thinks, as I personally think he probably doesn't understand the ins and outs of the technology behind bitcoin or blockchain technology in general. Though it doesn't mean Buffett is automatically wrong. He could be right. Bitcoin is a speculative investment, after all.

In my personal opinion, I think wallets that are on unrooted and or encrypted android phones(without all those pirated apps) are safer than wallets on a Windows computer, as there are tons more viruses that are made for Windows operating systems. But of course, I heavily prefer hardware wallets(Trezor, Keepkey, Ledger).

Too many shitcoins indeed. But guess what, as long as ignorant people keep on investing on some random shitty project, there's going to be more shitcoins made in the future! The best thing you can really do right now is to simply ignore it. Shitcoins aren't going to "shade" the good ones don't worry.
16485  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there a list of BTC exchanges? on: October 31, 2017, 03:32:41 PM
I am looking into Bittrex. Thank you. I am US based. I’d like to trade in smaller amounts since the price of bitcoin is already so high. I am assuming I can do this with bittrex.

If you're actually only trading small amounts, I suggest using binance.com instead. If I remember correctly, Bittrex has a 0.25% trading fee whereas binance only has 0.1%. That 0.15% might make a significant difference in terms of your profit.
16486  Other / Meta / Re: How many posts, that we can put in Bitcoin Forum once a day..? on: October 31, 2017, 11:41:24 AM
Just make sure your posts are constructive enough, makes sense, and are on topic. I'm pretty sure the forum mods read most replies and delete the ones that are obviously spam. They're most probably alot more strict on Newbies and Jr members due to some people farming up accounts to sell or to use for campaigns.
16487  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Got hacked and robbed. My mistake for keeping coins on exchange on: October 31, 2017, 11:02:08 AM
My coinbase got hacked today. I got a message on my phone saying that my password had changed. I attempted to follow instructions to stop it, but by the time I had, it was too late and the theif emptied out my hot wallet. The only saving grace was that coinbase has vaults which give 48 hour delay. I wish that I would have transferred more coins to the vault as they were protected. Coinbase has some serious vulnerabilities, but whoever the thief was was able to login from my IP and was able to login to my email despite the fact that I had just changed my password. Be careful out there. Cold wallet your coins.

It's never a good idea to store coins on exchange. However I doubt Coinbase has serious vulnerabilities. What happened is that you most likely got infected with a RAT. Its not a problem for the hacker to log in with your IP and your email really. Ways to prevent this is usage of 2FA

I do use 2FA. I need google authenticator every login. I wish it would have been SMS. I'm not sure how this happened. I just wish I would have kept more of them in a vault, or sold my hot wallet contents earlier.

I'm pretty sure you're alot more likely to be easier to be hacked if you're using SMS authentication rather than Google's 2FA.

There's like a 90% chance that the problem is on your side and not Coinbase's. If Coinbase actually got hacked then the news should be spreading fast like wildfire. Any chance that you're using the same password in multiple websites? Also, definitely do a malware scan on your computer asap.

Are you seriously asking what trading market people prefer? In a cryptocurrency forum?  Cheesy Expect the results to be heavily heavily biased.
16489  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does anyone else find this Roger Ver Tweet to be symbolic of mind-blowing greed? on: October 31, 2017, 10:08:51 AM
I always hate it when people use price as a sort of scale of a cryptocurrency's success.

it could even be Ethereum when newcomers do enough exploring to see the cool stuff you can do with ETH.
Except that ETH wasn't made to be a currency. Tongue

Sorry. That made no sense. "Change the speed of life by earning very much Bitcoin." Of course your life can change with money. Whether or not that'd be bitcoin or fiat.
16491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to eliminate unemployment. on: October 31, 2017, 06:20:25 AM
Bitcoin can definitely help people get out of unemployment, but the difference wouldn't be significant or substantial. I'm pretty sure only a small percentage of people in the cryptocurrency space actually makes money from it one way or another, not to mention only a very small percentage of unemployed people in total even knows or heard about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general. So, no. Bitcoin "eliminating" unemployment is an overstatement. It only decreases unemployment by a very very small percentage.

Also, if decentralized smart contracts would actually hit global adoption in the future, then we're probably going to expect a decrease in employment, excluding developers in this industry.

Kudos to Xapo for being actually somewhat concerned about their users and sending out a warning message out to their users. Phishing attacks has been happening since lots of years ago, not only to Xapo and bitcoin/cryptocurrency service providers, but to almost every valuable online service out there. Unfortunately Xapo's statement can easily be misunderstood by people who aren't fluent in english, as they might think that Xapo is the one who got hacked, and not some of their users.

•How to get free subscribers? Or did you guys just go blogging to increase your subscribers?
To get subscribers to your YouTube channel, simply just post good content that people would like to watch. There's no point getting those sort of "earn 1000 free youtube followers!" if they aren't going to watch your videos anyway.

•In making a video presentation about the campaign do I really need followers/subscribers?
It depends on the campaign. But they most likely require a certain amount of subscribers to accept you to the campaign.

What is Blockchain Technology?: https://www.coindesk.com/information/what-is-blockchain-technology/
A Beginner's Guide to Blockchain Technology (guide compilation): https://www.coindesk.com/information/

Also, lookup Andreas Antonopoulos on YouTube. Videos are quite long, but they're very good in my opinion.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#markets

You can also view all trading pairs on that link, especially when you're from a foreign country and you wanted to buy using a foreign currency and not through tethers(USDT). Just sort the list via Volume to know which exchanges are the most popular.
16496  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cloud Mining - Legit or not? on: October 30, 2017, 02:55:15 AM
Genesis Mining seems legit for now, as I've found good proof that they actually have a sort of like a GPU farm on a huge warehouse and not just make money through schemes like HYIPs. The only question is, is it profitable? I personally don't think so. The only reason you see YouTubers shill GenesisMining is just so you use their referral link.

If you really like to make money through mining, buy some good GPUs and or ASIC miners.

A bit more small details:



I'd personally use "All" instead of "Any type of good".

Also, I'd work a bit more on your tables. They just look so sort of "90s". Here's a better example of an item list on a table[1]. Looks alot more modern in my opinion.

16498  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What crypto is the best to start with on: October 30, 2017, 01:39:29 AM
Not sure if that's a good GPU to mine with, but probably just try it out. I suggest using this calculator to calculate profitability: https://www.coinwarz.com/calculators ; Just select coins that you're interested in and enter your data, just to let you know which certain coins will most probably give you the best profit.

Best of luck.
16499  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New to Bitcoin, need help on: October 30, 2017, 01:20:27 AM
Assuming you currently know nothing about bitcoin, don't even think about making money with bitcoin. Learn about it first. I suggest purchasing books of Andreas Antonopoulos. https://antonopoulos.com/books/

Or if you're not that much of a reader, and you prefer watching youtube videos, definitely check out his channel. Videos are quite long, but there's definitely lot's of information to be learned. https://www.youtube.com/user/aantonop

Though I would start reading this first, to get a general background on blockchain technology in general: https://www.coindesk.com/information/
16500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There are more gold than Bitcoin on: October 30, 2017, 01:07:39 AM
Although the  amount of gold is huge but gold will always be valuable because there are real usage in life, gold can be used for a lot of purpose beside of investment, but the price will lose with bitcoin, with limited supply, bitcoin will become more valuable than gold, but it is good to know that they found out new sources of gold, I have been thinking to keep some for investment, hopefully this finding can make the price lower

How can they even quantify this? what is the equivalent of one bitcoin in gold? is it 100 grams of gold or what? I still don't think this argument makes sense because bitcoin is prely virtual and we can't tell if the entire 21 million created will be even worth a kilogram of gold in weight.

I personally don't know either, as I really don't like people comparing the price of BTC to the price of gold. Though I assume people are referring to 1 kilo of gold because bitcoin already surpassed the prices of an ounce of gold($1,274.30) and a gram of gold($40.97); Whereas the price of a kilo of gold is currently at $40,969.67.
