Apart from the obvious, reading posts and whatever information you can get your hands on, here's a really useful tip on these forums: look at the Technical Discussion thread and pay attention to users who are Staff Members or Hero/Legendary. Click on their profiles, see their last posts. It's not all relevant or important but in general, they'll point you to threads with very good information and are usually well-written which are otherwise buried in all the junk.

Greetings, paybis. Just checked the updated Google spreadsheet and seems that all is in order. Thank you!
Don't worry about tx fees for the time being, I'm not concerned even if the tx takes several days to pull through, if you think you will save on fees that way.
Do we have to post every week here to say if we will continue? I'm definitely keeping the signature until I notify otherwise:)

Just realised that you can now vote on POSWallet every 24 hours, so looks like we'll get that coin listed a lot faster.
Vote update on tradesatoshi: #104 and #107
Vote update on POSW: #113
Keep 'em chicks comin' people.

The CGN investment portfolio performance for Week 1 ending 20 March 2017 (around 08:00 GMT) are shared as below: Overall profits observed for BTC and DOGE, unfortunately a small loss for GRC. Divest fees have also reduced slightly as investments complete their first week. Crypto value across the board has dropped between 10 to 20 per cent, owing to BTC's battering this week. The GRC loss, however, is offset by its price, which remained steady. |

I wouldn't say "dropping like a stone" but I suppose it's quite a sobering drop after months of enjoying above $1000 prices. I can still recall my own surprise when BTC refused to return to the 800-900 price it had been trying to break for weeks. Have always been expecting the correction.
To be objective, the 15% decline is really a mark of resilience in the face of all the negative events this month. I'm a holder and if the downtrend continues, it'll just be one of the rare times to buy more BTC for most of us.

Guys, voting at tradesatoshi is open again (in fact I missed it by over a day). Glad for any opportunity to breathe more life into this funny coin (not that it's dead, the staking on wallet is working fine).
Added my vote #104. Will be adding a new one to POSWallet when my 7-day wait resets tomorrow.

The OP has also responded to my PMs and I want to apologise for not returning with my own feedback - I promise to do so tomorrow, Monday, as I normally have limited access on weekends. It definitely seems more thoroughly thought out than what it might seem from the first post and that itself is a good sign.
So, anyone with serious queries - PM will bring you joy.

Hi there. I have a running interest in projects such as these and will be quite happy to have a talk with you - but only if you're able to share just a little more depth on the foundation. Is there any chance you could share a synopsis or front row excerpts from the whitepaper? Sent you a PM as well.

Seems a bit quiet on the Chicks front this Sunday. Is there a reason the votes haven't refreshed on TS for a while now? For anyone following, lowest buy price on Nova is now 640, more than double what I paid for my first CKS!
That, and the 30% increase in my total from staking and rewards, is a very modest 256,000 satoshi from a 100,000 investment. Hooray to me!
You staking with win wallet? Sorry for the really late reply: been a bit caught up. Yes, staking with win wallet, and only perhaps 50 hours a week in total max. More like 30 hours a week (6 per day, really on average). I haven't made a lot staking at all, but I suppose for doing nothing, it's still good returns if you have a sizeable amount to stake! |

Agree Doge is great for typing stuff and have overall fun with it.
Great to give children for playing with it Such fun currency
Yes. Dogecoin would make it the perfect choice for children to get into cryptocurrency, due to it being extremely inexpensive. Having games that pay in DOGE, as well as social platforms that would employ DOGE micropayments, would attract children and people of all ages who are new into cryptocurrency. This meme coin is such an ideal cryptocurrency for experimenting with it, as you won't lose much due to its cheap nature. I'm holding doge and millions of bunnycoins.  It is nice to collect these coins in a paper wallet for the future, as they're fun and very ideal for tipping due to their cheap price. These days, DOGE has been depreciating in value, making it a good choice for anyone to buy in and start using the cryptocurrency. Just my thoughts.  For some strange reason, always thrills me to see people talk about DOGE the way they do. I do have coins in a handful of alts, but none of them are more than even $10 in value (I did have a full ETH a while ago but converted it to BTC) except for my faithful DOGE. The value's more or less stayed the same over the last 6 months, since I keep topping it up. Shibe forever, they say. |

Don't know a free service: mellowads is pretty low in terms converting traffic, in my experience, but their free service can get you good exposure (provided your service and ad are pretty unique). It's a simple faucet-style daily claim, a click a day is enough for a free day's worth of network campaign.

I'm not moving a single coin to a new chain
If you control private keys ("own" bitcoins) before a contentious hard fork, you retain control of those keys on each existing chain post-fork. If there is a market for coins existing on both chains, you can simply "taint" coins existing on one chain by combining them with coins that only exist on that chain (mining rewards or coins that have been combined with mining rewards) and then safely sell them (or transfer them to a new address) without risking your coins on the other chain. There's a post from a staff member... can't recall where now that was made some time last year with really just one point of advice that would apply to most of us, myself included: do nothing except ensure your coins are on a wallet to which you control the private keys. If the fork happens, this ensures you have coins on both chains. |

Just out of curiosity, visited the link in your signature to see your mining pool. Unless stats aren't updated, it seems to show that the last block found was five months ago? I'm all for diversification of hash power but perhaps the reason people go for the biggest pool is simply because of the guarantee of something, no matter how small?
Good luck with bravo pool!
No, you're not mistaken. My pool last found a block on 10/12/2016. I hope you also looked at the minimal hash that is currently pointed to my pool as well. My point in the original post is, "If all the same miners mining on AntPool were mining on my pool, they would have made 13.88% more BTC". Well, on my pool it would have been 13.38% since I have a 0.5% fee. People could be making a ton more coin for their hash, but because they think "OMG bigger is better!" they lose. Thanks for the response Bravo. It's certainly a tough spot to move on from when you consider that most new and existing miners are as you say, out-of-the-box entrepreneurs who won't be embarassed to say that their intent first and foremost is to recoup their outlay on hardware. Perhaps the target audience would be experienced miners who would have already recovered some and who then would see the longer term benefit of a pool they'd hit less often but ultimately earn more. Do update the wiki with bravo pool. The word needs to get out from pools like yours. |

Thank you for making this thread, glad others will be able to now see how some of the other currencies are performing on the site  You're welcome! Your original was the inspiration for this, so really thank you to you, too! I intend to open an investment with all the remaining cryptos by end of the month, it'll be nice to see eight currencies lined up. I think it's a great testament to the site itself to see almost all the supported currencies also appreciate in fiat value over time! |

I have a question considering the investment in dice websites prize pool. I know that it can be profitable but is some larger sum needed to be invested or is there any optimum amount? Have you invested into any prize pool?
I'm asking this because I'm thinking of investing some amount into dice prize pools, so I'd like to know just a little bit more about it.
Hi there, I just started a new thread in the Securities section to track my personal investment portfolio into such a website you're talking about. You can find out about minimums needed there from the thread. If you like, you can ask any questions there too. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1824931.0 |

Hello paybis, sorry for the delayed "thank you" well received for the first week's payment. I am happy to continue in this campaign for the second week, but like others, we are wondering about the 3-month commitment. It's quite a long commitment and I may have periods of inactivity so in essence cannot promise 3 months of active participation.
With the lowered pay rate, perhaps you might consider running an additional avatar campaign as you mentioned - that improves visibility and can help add a little bit more to restore pay rate to the original.

Always happy to help out with surveys. I fill them out whenever I find them: you should, however, move your thread to the right section under Discussions.
Several surveys have been posted in the past by other researchers/students as well. Hopefully, you can use them.
Good luck with your research!

I deliberately created the no-fee transaction http://blockr.io/tx/info/74ccfd796cf2cb404a2245f699fd0e5cdf2a3a6b8a7b9cf1169ff2f87c124557 from my Armory wallet in order to see how long it would take to be confirmed into the blockchain. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ indicates something like 23-Inf blocks but the number is some sort of best case scenario. I think maybe some/most/all miners aren't bothering to include any no-fee transactions in the reserved section of blocks anymore. I asked the 21.co guys and they said they might try to improve that portion of their fee reporting page. I'm going to leave the transaction alone a while longer to see if it goes through as long as blockr.io still sees it and doesn't drop it. I don't think so but will my Armory wallet eventually timeout or something automatically or will I have to take deliberate steps to rectify the situation? Hey, what do you know, it went through. So, some no-fee transactions are still getting through eventually. Mine only took 11 days. VERY interesting to note that it still is possible for a 0-fee tx to confirm. In fact, I had tried late last year also for testing purposes but my Electrum wallet didn't allow 0 fees. I sent 1 sat per kb fee in total and it only took several days. Did you leave your wallet open (as it might have rebroadcasted the tx)? I thought such txs would eventually be forgotten? |

Updating portfolio with an investment of DOGE at the minimum amount (20,000). Main post updated with combined portfolio.  Any future additions will still be tallied at the end of every calendar week (Sunday/Monday), when possible, but deposit time/date will clarify start. |
