Burst is a really cool project with a lot of good ideas.
The low-energy proof of capacity mining is a great idea if we are going to have crypto for long-term use in the future.
They have a nice all-in-one wallet/ miner, and the asset exchange is another interesting feature.

I'm really surprised its not more popular. I think its worth owning some since the price is still cheap but has been slowly rising.

Pick some cheap coin like HALLOweencoin that only costs a few satoshi and hope the price doubles.
(Halloweencoin was added to a new exchange yesterday and people are starting to buy it again.)

Im sure there are a few coins like this that were dead and have new developers and will have big profits.
ICASH is another one but I don't think it will double in a week. That is more of a long-term investment IMO. 40 or 50 masternodes have been added in the last week or two.

Cryptoally has lowered their mining fee from 2% to 1%.
http://www.cryptoally.net/icash

Difficulty is still pretty low. You don't need a crazy mining setup to get some ICASH and support the network.
Even if you have a GPU or two and an old computer you can help!

Wait a couple weeks for price to drop a little and buy one Bitcoin.

Put some into coins like Monero, Ethereum, Litecoin- solid projects that (hopefully) make a modest return.

Then put a small amount into coins and hope for a big return- 10x to 100x
I bought some coins like ICASH and HALLOweencoin since they have new developers and have been added to more exchanges. Maybe one of these will make profit.

Its good to have a mix in your crypto portfolio. (Again, IMO.)

Its going to be a long time before any other coin hits $1000.
Bitcoin is still king.

Halloween coin was abandoned but has a new developer and was added to a new exchange yesterday.
If the price hits 100 statoshi that is a 100x return...

Its definitely going to be a coin with a very cheap price right now. None of the $10 to $100 coins are going to give that kind of return any time soon.
Pick some random coin that just got released or has a new dev and hope it gains traction I guess.

Most people buying Crypto are uninformed. They have no idea that Dash is a total scam.
(Instamine by developers, NOT anonymous as claimed, etc)
They are just trying to make a few dollars on whatever coin is hot at the moment.

The rest don't care.
As long as they can make money trading Dash on Poloniex they are happy.

Its the Wild West out here. TRUST NO ONE.
This includes someone with a PPL rating. Its a cool idea but it may lead people to get scammed if not implemented correctly.
Giving someone a trust rating can be dangerous. How many people have been scammed on these forums from a "trusted" member after an account was sold or stolen?

Yes. Its not like other get-rich-quick schemes.
I'm sure to get rich with this scheme. And quick!

Fees are getting higher, transaction times are taking longer.
The weakness of the current setup is finally being exposed and (hopefully) people realize that Bitcoin will never be the universal payment system to free the masses from the shackles of the oppressors.
Its still a way for rich people to get richer and buy things they probably don't need on the internet.
No one in Africa is going to be sending micropayments with fees like this. A lot of work needs to be done to achieve the dream.

Congrats on the new exchange listing and good luck to everyone working on the project!
Good to see developers picking up work and bringing coins back from the dead.

This is a topic that should definitely be a sticky in the Technical Discussion section.
The same question gets asked literally every two weeks. Topic could be closed and OP pointed to the sticky,
at least until there was some further information on this subject.

I was able to successfully download and get the Linux Wallet running on an Ubuntu box today.
Withdrew some coins from Yobit into my wallet, confirmation was really quick, probably a half hour or so.

Doing some further testing and I'm going to write up a guide since there are some additional dependencies that needed to be installed.
If anyone has trouble getting this to work on Linux feel free to PM me or post here and I will answer any questions I can!

Im sure you can probably sell some coins, make a profit and buy back when price drops after the hype dies down,
but for a long-term strategy you should definitely be holding some Bitcoin. We are still near the start and price could be much higher in five to ten years from now.

Price is up a lot right now with the recent hype but its probably still a decent long-term investment.
Maybe wait a few days/ week and see if the price comes back down and pick up some coins? Definitely worth owning some.
Possibility of a return to the ATH days of $40 to $50 in the next few years if interest stays high.

What details were posted on Slack?
Were you recommended to make any changes to your configuration or download any files?
Hopefully someone with knowledge about setting up a Pivx masternode can look at the info you were given and determine if anything would have lead to a compromise.

Anyone who is interested in iCASH should definitely spend a few minutes and make a request at these exchanges.
Getting listed on more exchanges will mean more users, more volume, more development and good things for any early investors.


Also, has anyone had success with running the wallet on a Linux machine?
I will try to get it working on an Ubuntu box I have and post back the results.

"I had a slide in the deck that was like 'Dash LOL' and nothing else"

Really good presentation.
Anyone who is interested in the future of Bitcoin, or alt-coins like Monero, Dash, Zcash and their privacy features
definitely needs to watch this video.

I literally just opened this video in my browser. About to watch it as I eat lunch.

ICASH has some new development and has gained 15 or 20 master nodes since the announcement. 
I bought some and keeping an eye on the project. Seems to be gaining some momentum.

What about Child Pays For Parent (CPFP) feature in some wallets?
I had an out-dated version of Electrum and sent a payment last night. Automatic fee was selected but it sent a transaction with 50 Satoshi/ byte fee apparently.
The new version of Electrum has an option to do CPFP to push the original payment. Is this worth doing?
