WETH is an ERC20 token that is needed to trade on that platform since it's not possible to trade with ETH directly. You need to convert your ETH to WETH to trade. If you have WETH and you want to withdraw you need to convert to ETH using the “unwrap” option.

I don't think so, smart contracts, in their current state, are not free from having bugs and vulnerabilities, so they can not be used as real contracts in the real world, not for now.
183  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The next bull run and stability on: February 06, 2019, 04:59:48 PM
Bull run and stability are contradictory terms. Bull runs are triggered only by speculation. Adoption will never produce such effect but a long and steady rise, which is much more preferable. In fact, bull runs and crashes hamper the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.
184  Economy / Exchanges / Re: The future of cryptocurrency exchanges on: February 06, 2019, 11:40:45 AM
It's obvious that the entry of large and reputed platforms would impact on centralized exchanges. In the future I think many people will move to decentralized exchanges, once they manage to be more user-friendly, and the ones who stay on centralized exchanges will look for the more secure and reputed ones.

Second, he has a chronic, lifelong disease that could severely attack him at any given moment, so why wouldn't he created some sort of a backup plan for this?

Even if he was healthy, he must have done it. When reports say he was the only one who knew the private keys of the wallets, is it to be supposed that he has memorized them? He must have saved the keys somewhere.
186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: EOS free wallet on: February 05, 2019, 04:58:00 PM
Some day the EOS team will need to facilitate the free creation of EOS wallets if they really want to build a big community around their project since most people are not willing to pay to create a wallet, no matter how cheap is to do it. Moreover, what will happen if EOS price rises in the future? Will wallet creation costs rise as well?
187  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: burning token on: February 05, 2019, 12:13:46 PM
Burning unsold tokens for me is to avoid project's team to hold more tokens and dumping the tokens.

In fact, this is the reason why ICO teams usually decide to burn unsold tokens and this is the common practice. People will always trust more in facts than in words.
188  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: On reversible transactions on: February 04, 2019, 09:09:23 PM
On the flip side, though, there is another catch here. For example, it becomes known that the keys have been compromised, but the hacker can't steal the coins as it has a timer counting. So how can a legitimate owner claim his coins and not let the hacker claim them before him? That's an interesting implication which I didn't think of when starting this thread

I think there would be no way to do that. Once the countdown ended, they both would try to send the coins to another address at the same time, so the only way the legitimate owner could keep his coins would be by spending a higher fee than the hacker and being lucky.
189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO vs STO on: February 04, 2019, 05:46:42 PM
The difference between ICOs and STOs is just the token's function and definition. If the project fails, the token will be worthless, calling it and defining it as STO will not make any difference.
190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: burning token on: February 04, 2019, 04:28:39 PM
It depends on the project. Most ICOs burn unsold tokens once the ICO has finished, but there are ICO teams that choose to airdrop unsold tokens between investors or keep the tokens for themselves and lock them for some months or years. It's not mandatory to burn the unsold tokens but in any case they must state what they will do beforehand and in the case they keep the tokens they must explain why they make that decision and what they will do with those tokens.
191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: An audited stablecoin on: December 13, 2018, 09:23:41 PM
It's a basic thing, if you are claiming that your coin is backed by fiat money you need to prove that what you are claiming is true. If not, how can you expect people to trust in your coin?
192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How scammers can steal your tokens on: December 12, 2018, 05:19:43 PM
Scammers are more cunning. The ease to issue a token as well as the ability to create the same symbol are helping scammers to steal money from investors. But if they face to the professionals, no door to suceed.

Reading their method, I wonder how it's possible that they were successful before. In this case, the Gamblr team only needed to do a simple check to avoid being scammed.
193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The market is making very few projects list their token on exchange on: December 12, 2018, 03:19:56 PM
Even if the project is good.. if there's no buyers the price of token or coin will definitely plummet below its actual price.. which isn't a good thing for investors.. so it is best to wait for the bull or at least when the market has a 200% gain

In fact, many times are investors themselves the ones who ask ICO teams to not list tokens in exchanges until the market situation changes. For ICO tems it would not be a problem to list their tokens now, after all, they have raised the money they needed and their own tokens are usually locked for one year, but they prefer to do what they think is better for their investors.
194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: You don't have to mine Crypto to Earn Crypto - Masternodes [MN] on: December 11, 2018, 09:40:46 PM
MNs used to be a darling of people in the space, but looking at the performance of most of these MNs coin tis year, people have started liquidating their holdings has has profit shrinks another thing to note is that the block rewards is also reducing for most projects

Those masternode coins can be an interesting option only if you have some coins that you are planning to hold for a long period of time and, in the meanwhile, you want to use them to get a few more coins, without expecting too much. If not, they are not worthwhile.
195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: "What will ACTIVATE the next BULL RUN?" - CZ Binance on: December 11, 2018, 04:11:43 PM
People who are constantly asking when a new bull run will happen don't realize how desperate they may look in the eyes of whales, people should stop thinking on that and let things just happen. I don't know if there will be another bull run but if it happens, it will not be predicted by anyone.
196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what do you think about self airdrops ? on: November 29, 2018, 11:40:14 PM
I have seen some of these self airdrops but I also did not participated.As soon as I see, send I start to think about scams.Even if it sending an amount of zero, I can't shake the feeling of getting scammed.Maybe it is just me.If there is a successfull example I will start to rethink this.

This kind of airdrops should be seriously discouraged. They only contribute to congest the network with useless and unnecessary transactions.
197  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your thoughts on blockchain being taught in school on: November 29, 2018, 11:50:14 AM
It's a matter of time. For the moment, it's mainly private institutions who are offering these blockchain courses, but over time public universities will offer them as well.
198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The first risk-free ICO with money back guarantee on: November 28, 2018, 05:27:26 PM
What will happen if all investors chose the "risk free" option? They say in that PDF that they will freeze all the funds received from the contributors who chose that option, so, they launch an ICO, they receive funds, but they can't use them to develop their project, what's the point of launching an ICO then?
199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Asserting BCH SV as "The Real Bitcoin" on: November 28, 2018, 11:30:52 AM
What are your thoughts on the "BCH" war?  What I see is a splinter and dilution of assets.  When you add it all up, BCH that was worth around $500 is now about the same if you consider recent valuations of "BCH ABC", "BCH SV", and the original "BCH".  

If I'm not wrong, the original BCH is now BCHABC so there are only BCHABC and BCHSV now. That means that the joint value is much lower, even taking into account the recent market drop. It was supposed to be a war with one winner and one big loser, but it's quite possible that this war ends up with both sides losing it all.
200  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: XLS above EOS - on the fifth place on: November 27, 2018, 02:18:49 PM
it is, and currently there are projects based on Stellar, that are very good and promising, to mention Argentas, SID and Repocoin
EOS is very complicated for general user

The EOS biggest problem is that if you want to create an EOS wallet, you have to pay for it, even if you just want to test the platform. This is a barrier that curbs EOS adoption. It's true that the amount you have to pay is small at this moment, but it's also true that users will prefer other platforms where they can create a wallet for free.
