182  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Increasing Block size lowers the value of Bitcoin on: August 18, 2017, 02:50:38 AM
Complete opposite. Increased velocity of on chain transactions is directly correlated to increased value. Off chain solutions retard growth of value.

You're probably right in a long-term view. Currently, it's hard to see any correlation between changes in the protocol and Bitcoin value...
183  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How many cryptocurrencies have businesses using their services? on: August 16, 2017, 12:25:38 AM
Depends how you define "using".
For example, Stox is working with Bancor protocol, 0x (kind of) used Civic services for their tokensale.

I think they didn't pay for those services but they still used them.

They raised only from u.s. accredited investors so it's completely different than other ICOs

An U.S based ICO? Didn't the United States claim that ICO's are securities and therefore illegal? why are they hosting it over there then?

Yeah, they are based in San Francisco.
the SEC claimed the DAO token is a security but not tokens in general

It sounds like you're trying to integrate few product into a single one - payment processing, crypto exchange and fiat-crypto exchange.
That's tough... Smiley

Hey everyone,

This Thursday (August 10) Ran is giving a talk at the SF BlockChain Meetup. He'll be talking about the media industry and how blockchain and Snip are disrupting it.
You're welcome to join us if you're in San Francisco, or watch the video.

Will all of the news be on the blockchain? How will it stop someone from Macedonia from spreading fake news?
All of the content on the platform will also be on IPFS, but that by itself won't ensure that the content is reliable and high-quality. Our algorithms will consider user feedback and demote low-quality content. We ourselves won't decide what's fake and what isn't and the Snip platform will have no central editor. But if people you trust consider something to be fake or low-quality then you won't see it. This solves the fake news relativity problem, where different groups consider fake news to be different things.

That's tough to do but could make sense if executed well. Do you have any background in software dev? machine learning? Will the fake news algorithm be open source?

Hey, I'm Rani, CTO of Snip.
We have 10+ years of experience in software development, and I've been working in research and machine learning for over 6 years.
It's a challenge to find the best content for users, but that's one of the main things we've been working on for the last year at Snip.

Our algorithms will be public and open-source. We believe that with the help of the community we can tweak and improve them and bring you much better content. And, of course, we'll reward developers for their contributions.
189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What would be the best alt coin protocol for every day real life spending? on: August 08, 2017, 05:57:51 AM
I've never tried it but colu supposed to be exactly that - local coin.
You can also create a coin on Waves platform in 2 minutes.

Another option, a bit more complicated but could be better, is creating your own blockchain and token.
I assume people in the town can trust a centralized PoW, and therefore there won't be any fees and it could be much faster.

 
190  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How muh does it cost to do an animated video? on: August 07, 2017, 06:05:05 PM
It depends on word count, video lenght, voice language, animation quality, delivery time etc.

In Fiverr, the average price is like $35-$60 for one minute video.

You can't get a decent video with creative, original animation and voiceover for $60 a minute. It's at least $1000...
191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Useless Ethereum Token on: August 07, 2017, 04:08:35 AM
Few years ago a guy did a crowdfunding to raise $50K to not(!) eat his rabbit...
He should have used the Useless Token instead Wink
192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When did altcoins got so popular? on: August 07, 2017, 04:04:58 AM
Altcoins become popular mainly in the last 2 years.
Take a look at the graph here:

Most of the announcements and discussions are actually here on bitcointalk. In addition, most companies have their own channels like Slack or Telegram.

Hope I answered your question Smiley
193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Looking to create an Altcoin for a local organization on: August 03, 2017, 07:38:23 PM
You can create it yourself pretty easily. You can use Waves platform without coding at all, or use the basic contract on ethereum.
The tutorial here is pretty good:

194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin wallet? on: August 03, 2017, 07:29:47 PM
You can use Ethereum Wallet or MyEtherWallet.
I can't promise they're the best, but they are both good imo Smiley

You can also use Jaxx if you're planning to hold only the biggest altcoins (you can't add custom tokens)
195  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase US order charged international fees on debit card!! ::::WATCH OUT:::: on: August 02, 2017, 05:28:42 AM
They charge me the same fee if $15 whenever I use my credit card debt. I dunt think it's coinbase though, I think it's your bank charging you for using your card to buy digital cash...

If you're in the u.s. it's much cheaper to do a bank transfer (but very slow...)
196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO from Singapore-based companies on: August 02, 2017, 05:24:11 AM
Interesting!
As long as your token is a utility you are fine.
If the tokens are actually securities (like the DAO according to the SEC), then you need to go through a similar process as IPO.

Many companies sell their tokens from Gibraltar and Switzerland.
197  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Opinion : I think BitcoinCash (BCH) Will reach $500 on: August 01, 2017, 11:07:25 PM
Do you have any reason to believe in that?
I think we can't predict it (we can gamble Smiley )
198  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase US order charged international fees on debit card!! ::::WATCH OUT:::: on: August 01, 2017, 11:04:36 PM
Are you sure about it?
They only charge a fee of 4% in my experience.
It's a lot but it's the only instant way to buy BTC... Sad
199  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: In simpliest manner, other explanation. on: July 31, 2017, 06:20:57 PM
There are tons of article about it, in the forum and in the media.
I don't mean to be rude but it's better to read about it first and then ask here specific question.

You can start here for example:

You can also use Waves platform if you only need a simple token
