181  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's the future development direction and mode of DeFi Lending? on: September 26, 2020, 11:05:08 AM
I think most of the DEFI projects are solely concentrating on staking ,locking up the coins create a supply crunch and pushing the price high. I am not saying all projects are doing this but projects doing this definitely need to evolve in the long term.

Every crypto veteran is used of these kind of sudden price movements, but it still hurts a bit to witness it over and over again, I am not gonna lie. If you are here for the long run, you should learn how not to be phased when those fluctuations happen as this will relieve your stress levels and you will consequentially survive in this space for much longer.

yeah it does. The  up and down cycles are part of the market and I have got used to it. AFter all we are still in the game when bitcoin went from 20k to 4k . I hope that its part of chance to load up more in the projects you believe in for the long term.

So when proportions in the network are changing (f.e. due to price change on CEX and arbitrage traders or large orders directly on swaps) algo is changing price to compensate this. So if I get this correct fallowing scenario is possible on high volatile coins:

investment
1 ETH and 400 USDT (1 ETH is worth 400$ - total 800$)

ETH pumps x4 in short term ( lets say 4 weeks)

Balance:

0.25 ETH and 400 USDT (1 ETH is worth 1600$ - total 800$ + small profit from fees)

So if I evaluate my wallet in USD (i'm looking for USD gains) than i'm fine (but without LP i would have massive gains intead of few $ from fees) but if I'm a ETH hodler than i'm down 0.75 ETH that i wouldn't be if i just hodl my coins in wallet without engaging in liquidity pool.

Talking about dump instead of pump we get opposite situation.

This leads to the conclusion that liquidity provider is very exposed to price changes and is not as safe as it is presented to masses. Only low volatile pairs like USDT/DAI are safe, but you are exposed to USDT exit scam with whole your wallet (DAI will be dumped to USDT that will become worthless). So if any of 2 stable coins that you have will 0 whole your wallet will zero. That is extra risk that might not be worth taking for 10% annually that in most cases is the actual ROI.

 Thank you for explaining this and the op for putting a explanation about Liquidity pools. I swhat you explained called impermenant loss in LP's?
 Is there any possibility that we lose value in USDT?
184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 51% Attack Against Blockchain of Ethereum Classic (ETC) on: September 25, 2020, 07:18:12 AM
Hijacking via the 51 percent attack on the blockchain is no joke. In fact it happened three times against the Ethereum Classic (ETC) blockchain on July 29 2020, August 1 2020, as well as August 6, 2020.

In the first attack, it was estimated that the perpetrator of the attack managed to double spend as much as 800 thousand ETC (equivalent to US $ 5.6 million). Meanwhile, the attack cost was equivalent to 17.5 BTC (US $ 204,000).

Reporting from Coindesk, Ethermine, Bitfly and Binance mining pools reported the reorganization. According to them all ETC withdrawal and deposit transactions have been suspended, because of the attack.

On Thursday, 6 August 2020, another attack occurred. The value is not yet known. However, with the US $ 23.44 block reward on Ethereum Classic, the attacker will likely have pocketed around US $ 93,760.

I find it really strange that a coin which has market cap so high is susceptible to 51 percent attack. Sure if a coin has a lowe mc and a low hashing power then fine but how can it happen for ETC.
185  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you determine if an altcoin is worth investing in? on: September 25, 2020, 06:45:38 AM
I look at older projects to invest it which have matured and have a working product. Loon at their initial white paper , look at the team and see if they kept their promises and developed the projects. That would give you a good indicator.
186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Was 2017 the "Golden Year of Crypto"? on: September 25, 2020, 06:43:08 AM
It certainly looks like 2017 is THE year in crypto as it set the standard as far as market cap is concerned but I feel that the crypto market is evolving now and is more mature . I am still hopeful that we will see a good run in the future .
187  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ICO WhitePaper Matter Most? on: September 25, 2020, 06:39:19 AM
Who among us here have been victims of almost perfect Whitepaper?
Those sublimely well-written, full of excellent ideas and proposals that turned out to be a piece of crap!
Reading whitepaper is not enough to be a basis of investing in crypto because almost everyone can write whatever they want,
they even promise you the Moon and Stars.

So, be careful now in choosing ICOs, as much as possible look for projects that at least have initially implemented the products or services, if not the whole.




Haha. Yeah most projects which gone bust are exactly like this. But white paper is an important thing to analyze along with the team members to judge whether you wanna get into projects or not .
188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: UniDapp - scam project! on: September 23, 2020, 06:02:17 AM
For every successful project there are 100s of project trying to copycat and ride the wave and do some quick buck . Never follow the project name or the current trend do proper research on the team .
189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins with 1000% Plus Profits on: September 23, 2020, 06:00:36 AM
Do t know if they get success in long term but the coins like yfi, meme are giving huge returns if bought early ,try to find such coins till yield farming craze don't go away. You can easily make 1000% gains in such coins.

YFIay be not much huge upside possible now as it's already high but may be Meme can still go 10x from here

DYOR though. Also try to find best gems early in Uniswap to get those crazy gains.

Uniswap seems the best gateway to find coins early and get a lot of profit but also be aware that there are too many scam and meme coins getting listed on uniswap and you are supposed to be really cautious.
190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ∧ Shape In Price on: September 23, 2020, 05:58:46 AM
Have you noticed whether all old cryptocurrencies went through ∧ shape in price?

Will all cryptocurrencies have gone thru this and let people make big profit?

Obviously you are looking at the 2017 bull run of the coins .most of the coins that time were super high and then came down a lot . You can't expect each and every coin to follow it though.
191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Importance of social media channels on: September 22, 2020, 10:30:23 AM
It's seems many still don't know the importance of social media channels and telegram groups of the coins and tokens they own or promotes

Some hunters and investors lose vital informations like

1. Token swap
2. Smart contract swap
3. Bounty KYC
4. Bounty payout time and date

Many investors and bounty hunters makes this mistakes over and over and later they blame the project team. Just imagine the damages these can create.




 While I agree a part of it I don't agree that the token swap or bridge being closed after a certain period. The project should help the investors help swap tokens even if they are late to the scene in my opinion.
192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: who else think Litecoin will go huge? on: September 22, 2020, 10:27:26 AM
I stopped looking into litecoin right after 2018 when Charlie Lee all his tokens on the community. Why would I want to hold.. something when the creator itself thinks it is better to sell.?
193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How safe is Tether.to/USDT? on: September 22, 2020, 10:25:02 AM
Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering about people's opinions on how safe is Tether.to/USDT? In terms of putting largish amount of money in there ($10k+), what is the risk of the service going out of business, or not honoring withdrawals? I.e. what is the risk of another Mt Gox, Mintpal or Cryptsy incident on here?

I can see that it still says "Beta" on the main page, and that it's a Hong Kong outfit. Not sure what kind of financial regulation/overwatch they have over there when it comes to these things.

I guess other little warning bells are that they don't have an easily accessible support link on their user interface (you can however email support@tether.to), or at least I couldn't easily find it.

Is there a safer way (which is still easy and cheap) to park some USD while BTC is going through it's fluctuations?

Thanks

It is always risky to hold any big amount in exchange even if is USDT which is supposedly backed by real us dollar. Always keep it in a personal wallet and preferably hardware wallet.
194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are the 10 best bounty managers on BTT forum? on: September 22, 2020, 10:22:44 AM
Hey, Guys! I developed NFT token with a custom feature.

And I was wondering is there any top 10 best bounty managers on BTT forum?

Could someone provide me your top 10, please!

Thanks.

I don't have a list of persons. But bounty detective which is a group that takes escrows is good if you want gurantee and bubbalex is also a highly reputed bounty manager.
195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Gold or Bitcoin on: September 22, 2020, 10:21:15 AM
Let's say I have a huge amount of money as an investor, where do I put them? Bitcoin or Gold

We all know that gold is known for its stability which could be vital in times of financial crisis; but doesn't exactly bring good return  WHILE Bitcoin on the other hand can be quite profitable  but it's risk of negative volatility can be catastrophic!


So which has your vote? Gold or Bitcoin!!!!

I think the value of the girl Is very high at the  moment. So I am personally waiting for it to drop a little bit but yeah it is a good idea to keep something invested in gold.for hedging against traditional investments.
196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are you going to buy into these high rising defi coins now? on: September 21, 2020, 01:26:35 AM
The last month I had another project and wasn't watching the space and it's only today I had time to really focus on it.  I figured I would buy into these high rising projects a little today even though chances are they are at their ATH.  Are you going to buy into these high rising defi coins now, such as UMA, Kusama, DIA, Ampleforth, Ren, Reserve Rights, and others?    Which ones do you think will go higher?

I am looking at Dia out the of these that you have mentioned but haven't started yet. Looks a good project and always wanted to add something in Oracle space to my portfolio.
197  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is Transparent in it if team behind the coin is anonymous on: September 21, 2020, 01:20:16 AM
Some projects claim that team can remain anonymous in a decentralized offering , while that maybe true it is a double edged sword for investor. Personally I prefer to put my money based on the track record of the team running the projects

 
198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: The bounty scam will gradually go away on: September 21, 2020, 01:16:20 AM
Just recently we are beginning to have some Twitter campaign giving hunters reward in btc in the service section. This is one sure way to take off this muster that seem like a cancer called bounty scam.

I'm believing that gradually, will may start seeing the inclusion of other social media signatures like Facebook, LinkedIn, medium, article, videos, blogs and many more, coming up in  both bounty section and service. I'm sure that hunters will prefer social media signature than the scam going on in the board.

I guess one reason that we are seeing that Twitter campaign is because of the audit which takes care of non real followers of an account. So if your Twitter account isn't made of real followers, you stand no chance of being selected. The audit is surely to check out accounts with fake followers and that is also good to stop scamming.

 I don't think it is that simple to get rid of the bounty scams. It is a vast area and surely there will be greedy people trying to scam others. What we can hope for is trusted members running bounty and escrows.
199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple the next bitcoin? on: September 20, 2020, 05:23:21 AM
I don't see how ripple can be next bitcoin. The basic motto behind creation of ripple and bitcoin are completely different. One is created for emphasis on decentralization and the other is a utility token for a company handling payments.
200  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ClipX steals KYC data and shuts down on: September 20, 2020, 05:16:46 AM
The ClipX project, another bounty, managed by the Bounty Detectives' team early today let down bounty hunters gently in what seems a soft exit by announcing that it would no longer continue with the project. The announcement was made here: https://t.me/clipXchannel/13

That was after it had cunningly collected KYC documents from hunters (even though that wasn't explicitly on the bounty thread). ClipX insisted it was going to be a passport document for KYC or nothing. It was really a suspicious move but anxious hunters neglected it. Why ask for only a passport for KYC and not any other document.

My advise to bounty hunters:
1. Don't participate in any bounty without escrowed rewards.
2. Don't be in a rush to participate in every bounty that comes up.
3. Follow only trusted Bounty Managers.
4. DYOR on any project and don't rely on BMs. Most of them don't even research a project before going into contract with project team.

Anyone else got any advice for bounty hunters, especially the noobs among them?

This is becoming a recurring issue. This used to happen too much for my liking during the 2018 run and it seems to be popping up now again. Be vary careful if a bounty asks for KYC and don't provide it unless you are very sure about the legitimacy of the project.
