181  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin do you trust, BNB or ETH? on: May 16, 2020, 03:54:38 PM
BNB too is being put forward as an alternative to Ethereum platform. With lower fees and expertise of Binance team and their influence in the crypto market, they can force the community to take up Binance for new token releases. If you look at the binance launchpad, the largest number of IEO happening their are BEP2 tokens.

what miners are you using. Bitcoin ASIC miner would only work good with coins on SHA-256 algo. So, you need to mine SHA-256 coins like Bitcoincash, Digibyte, BitconSV or Peercoin. But at the moment most profitable among them is bitcoin followed by BitcoinSV and Bitcoincash. So, you don't have a much options to go with. Mining Digibyte could be an option if you believe it's current development is going to boost its price in the future.
183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who owns the bitcoin trademark? on: May 15, 2020, 11:12:57 AM
bitcoin.org is owned by bitcoin developers.
bitcoin.com is owned by person/people who provide bitcoin services.

But who owns the "Bitcoin" brand?


Bitcoin is a popular open source project with MIT license. It's a community brand but I don't know for sure if anyone could apply for Bitcoin as brand. Bitcoin.org acts as the reference site for Bitcoin but it's still a privately registered domain so is bitcoin.com
184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Safest trading strategy on: May 15, 2020, 10:58:16 AM
This is the strategy many use. You can further inhance it by placing orders a bit higher and lower in different points. Like if Bitcoin price is 9K now, place a sell order to USD in 9010 and a buy order in 8990. If any one of them gets executed, place one below 10 and above 10 of current price to tap every coins.

Glad to see you're updating this thread properly. I was going to suggest STREAMIES but found it's already in the list. That was just announced yesterday. I too am not very fond of very long campaign. Most of the long term campaign I have been to have failed to deliver.
186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you know any comprehensive study about lockdown effect on online gaming? on: May 15, 2020, 06:58:05 AM


Here is a daily wagered amount on some of the popular bitcoin gambling sites. You can clearly see that the last 6 months has some spike in daily wagering volume. Though last year in same time had a bit better daily average. Could be several things associated with the volume and still we couldn't explain the influence of lockdown. I have taken the image from https://dicesites.com/graphs and you can play with different variables to get the exact data you need from there.
187  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lockdown and eCommerce and increase in online payments = Bitcoin addoption on: May 15, 2020, 06:20:38 AM
People with nothing to do on their free time at home with internet have ventured many things to contain themselves and bitcoin and crypto were a hot topic. I believe many new people made their first wallet during this lockdown be it out of curiosity or investing or for trading as crypto market is the one that is never closed.
188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should startup crypto projects use DYCO instead of IEO/ICO? on: May 15, 2020, 02:34:42 AM
A shill advertisement of daomaker which itself is a stupid idea that's not going to work. I don't think any ICO would go with daomaker to have such an ICO which won't let them use the money they raise. Even if any ICO got hosted with daomaker, I bet it's surely a scam associated with the daomaker itself.
189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cashing out tips & strategies on: May 14, 2020, 03:40:01 PM
I plan to change my crypto to stablecoins on it's peak and sell it on batches. Withdrawing stablecoins or converting them to digital payment gateway like paypal and skrill is easier which can easily be deposited to banks without questions raised. I'm even thinking about NEXO mastercard. If it works as advertised, it's the easiest way to change your crypto to cash.
190  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin has surpassed Bitcoin after halving 2016 but this time will different on: May 14, 2020, 03:30:19 PM
It would be hard to predict whether altcoins would outshine bitcoin in the next bull run. Many people have bad experience from some alts after the last bull run as during the bull, people jumped into every coins and every of them rose high but some were badly dumped while some were able to hold a value. This time the rise would be more selective. But still, some popular alts combined have a better chances of decreasing bitcoin's TMC below 50%.
191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ADA or XLM on: May 12, 2020, 12:08:52 PM
Both are good coins. XLM is a bit older than ADA and has a working product while ADA is still in development. XML has not received any significant adoption and results and hence I don't expect them to change overnight while ADA could have a larger increase in price as the news of it's platform comes. FYI, ADA is one of the most actively developed crypto.

I checked ADA GitHub repositories and indeed it is very active with more than 17k commits, as compare to XML that has 700++. So obviously, if we compare them ADA had a lot of activity behind, and this is a good sign that they are indeed on top of their project and have a very dynamic developers and community.

Maybe the OP is interested to read XML Q1 review here, https://www.stellar.org/blog/stellar-development-foundation-q1-in-review. So it's really hard to answer your question, so perhaps the better choice is to invest both on project and see how it goes for you in the next six months.

Cardano has been an active project with many of it's roadmap still to achieve and is on track while Stellar has a vague roadmap for 2020 or you can call itself a dead coin. Though stellar have some unique feature that are impressive, I'd still recommend cardano as it has more potential for growth while that of Stellar has gone stagnant.
192  Economy / Gambling / Re: New online casino: Leo Monaco on: May 12, 2020, 11:54:28 AM
Seems like a traditional casino based on Cyprus and licensed in curacao. The casino seems to be owned by a popular shadow company which are mostly professional on business matters. So, I don't think it's an scam attempt but there is nowhere mentioned that the site accepts cryptocurrency as a payment. Only traditional payment gateways are listed in https://leomonaco.com/templates/info/payments
193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Become Negative in Value? on: May 12, 2020, 11:43:05 AM
Oil price was negative for a brief moment as there were no more storage left and the pumps were not turned off to check the demand.
For bitcoin even if the demand plummets, there would be no constrain of storage as miners and any trader can store any amount of bitcoin without any cost and even offline.
194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How are you celebrating Bitcoin Halving? - less than 9 hours to go on: May 11, 2020, 05:09:31 PM
Less than 2 hours remain and I'm checking the blocks like it's some sports score. I know there would be no drastic changes except for halving of block subsidiary for the miners, it feels special to be a part of such a historical tech and achievement. Third ever halving for the pioneer of crypto tokens.
195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Enhanced restriction in gambling casinos is it possible on: May 10, 2020, 03:04:23 AM
IMO gambling places are no just to gamble with strategy and win. If you really want to win, online gambling sites provides better odds and you can play at your own pace from your bed. Real life casino for most is about having fun, drinking, socializing and partying. Most of the gamblers won't return if those restrictions are placed strictly.
196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: COVID-19 is helping to expand the crypto world on: May 10, 2020, 02:42:23 AM
There has been a lot of discussion about why we need to leave cash once for and all. A digitalized currency preferably based on a blockchain has been on sight for governments around the world. Though not a exact good news for anonymity and decentralization but still a development to blockchain technology.
197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vaccine against Covid-19 should be made before sports events will take place? on: May 08, 2020, 05:27:02 PM
The sources I read say there won't be a vaccine. Never. Not a functioning one at least. Correct me If I am wrong but I recently read that there isn't a vaccine that works against RNA viruses yet. Not even one. If this information is true, we will have to wait for a loooong time.

I'd rather wait for a medicine.

That's said mostly because virus keeps on morphing to new strain. Not every coronavirus around the world now are same and not a single vaccine would work for them. Vaccine is one of the multiple ways to contain it. Though such pandemic often controls itself as virus changes itself to a less severe form.
As from the news there are scientists from the different countries around the globe who are now creating their own vaccines for covid19 and simultaneously trying to apply for those covid patients and see if there is any progress or if they will be healed because of the vaccine. I hope that before this year ends, they have the vaccines to cure the patients.

Vaccines don't cure patients. Vaccines are for the healthy people so that they'd be resistant against the viral infection. Every individuals needs to be vaccinated and we also needs better medicine but still we would need to limit social contact for at least the whole of 2020 to be completely free of this virus.
198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think 40% bonus is too much for early Investors? on: May 08, 2020, 03:43:06 PM
40% bonus for someone who buys early and lesser for a later investor is not a feasible business model. The cheapest coin is actually considered the worth of the tokens and it literally means the project is inflating the price for its investors. I don't think any real project with legit financial advisor would let them give more than 20% bonus on any stage.
199  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why there are no Stable coin gambling sites? on: May 08, 2020, 02:57:51 PM
If sportsbet.io are accepting stable coin, I don't think regulations would be any issue. They are a good gambling platform both for sports and casino games and they know properly what legal problems they may face. Just like almost every other casino, they are curacao registered.
I maybe wrong but with the examples, I'd dismiss the proposition of regulation not letting the adoptable of stablecoins.
200  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dump or HODL these coins? on: May 08, 2020, 02:46:10 PM
You have quite a portfolio there and must have made some profit by holding them. I would not comment about each of the coins but some of them are never going back to the same glory again that they once used to have. Those are for sale. There are many promising coins that makes a good diversifying strategy. The current situation is bullish one and I recommend you to hold any coins you have a further more to get the best profit for your investment.
