I am not a developer, but I have sent a PM regarding one of the other advertised positions, with an interest to work part time. All my details have also been submitted in the PM. Looking forward to your response.

It really depends on what you mean by professional - I expect you mean full-time trading as opposed to expert trader. Most professional brokers would need at least USD100 - in bitcoin that's currently under 0.1 BTC. Depending on leverage offered by the broker, you could trade with up to 10 BTC value on this small deposit.

Too late, my friend! For now, at least, even people like myself previously oblivious to the potential of DASH will be wondering and reading up about it, just as they have been doing for ETH.

For all its tech superiority, though, it'll take a lot more than what it seems on surface for an alt to rise for the long term.

I'm an Exodus user myself, and like most newbies started out using the addresses for faucets. I do like the wallet, but I do also dislike when wallets say "no fees" when they seem to charge a network fee. I of course, only found out when I wanted to transfer out my dust in ETH and found that the fee alone took up most of the amount. There are others that say no fee and mean it (the amount you transfer is the amount received).

Again, not a naysayer as I like the wallet a lot. Beautiful and useful.

Hi there, not to ruin the thread again, but I have tried logging into the site at simplefx with both sets of usernames and passwords. Neither are working for me, so am I missing something here? Also, how long back does the trade history go in the account? Would be nice to see a minimum of three months.

52,000 ETH in the first day of ICO, very impressive... except that 50,000 of it was within the first three hours and it's been more or less stagnant for the next 13 hours or so. I wonder if this massive first-day ICO influx has had anything (minor) to do with the bullish ETH market?

If we can forget for a moment the conspiracy theories behind who controls ETH and whether it's a scam alt or not, we can observe the basic market mechanics of the coin with the second largest market cap. The dip we experienced last year was begging for a correction, and with that momentum, a surge in fiat price.

Perhaps it is true that this all hinges on the whales' holding power, but it would take a LOT for a coin like ETH to fall from its current position of strength.

As deisik pointed out, Western Union is a remittance service, which has to clear currency regulations in both sender and receiver countries to be legally compliant. The issue right now is that bitcoin is still a bit of a grey area with regards to its legal status in many countries and hasn't, in the opinion of WU perhaps, reached an acceptable level of financial compliance that would facilitate due diligence.

It could also simply be a case of perceived reliability, an issue not unique to bitcoin. WU, at discretion, may not accept currencies it deems to be unreliable value-wise: the Zimbabwean dollar was and currently, the South Sudanese pound is an example of currency WU will not accept for remittance.

While I can empathise with you on what I myself have found to be (what I guess I might call) premature pre-emptive defensive attitudes of many otherwise knowledgeable technical people - you should also realise when someone is trying to sincerely help you out. You're pointed in the right direction but insist that you're unfamiliar and unconvinced - then where do we go from there?

In any case, implying that only one dev is sincere and rational by the title of the thread isn't a show of sincerity in itself. I think most technically knowledgeable people (including non devs) in crypto are sincere and rational, if not always friendly and open to what they deem is unacceptable ignorance on the part of the majority.

Hello there.

Always interested in trader offers likes yours (managed accounts to be specific) but find that they don't seem to last long on this forum. Anyway, tried logging into the account to view your live trades but the username and password does not seem to work. Simplefx also seems a bit heavy on my browser.

I was talking about POSwallet, which requires 1000 votes to be listed. At the current rate of 1 vote per week, you'd need 25 members 40 weeks (10 months) to get listed. I think it's worth on POSW just to get more people staking the coin there (I'd vest all my CKS there if they had a wallet!)

OP, thanks for the payment, well received. Looking forward to the new faucet.

Announcing the entrance of a hitherto unsung self-proclaimed anti-hero of Crypto Kingdom: Sojourner.

Indeed, a fool's move to post first before setting even a first exploratory foot into the Kingdom, yet Sojourner made his name by consistently making - and surviving - an amazing variety of fool's moves.

Sojourner expresses surprise, having thought by the thread title that he was entering 1991, when he was 11, but feels more at home in a 16th century setting so is somewhat pleased with making this entrance.

Off to the tutorial.

Yeah, I really don't see a way for a complete newbie to gain entrance into this current circle of escrowing. I would think the best route is to start off as a user offering paid services and to gain trust that way. Then to act as a conduit for others selling similar services. Otherwise, scout around the forum for people offering small services for small fees, offer a free escrow first to gain trust?

It's basically a building of trust and reputation.

Interesting concept, especially given that in real world social science, the individual is much more difficult to predict once singled out of the group. It could be technically more complex to implement but that to me seems more of a one-time hurdle. At the moment, simple steps like unique email/phone verification can be bypassed easily.

What about borrowing once more from the real world? Biometrics. I would rather give out my unique fingerprint for verification than a passport or ID card, for example.

Since both coins are clearly capitalist and we're talking about profitability here and which one will "win" in terms of price - oh wait, we're supposed to answer which coin do we support?

Anyway, I see no harm in Guldencoin's tactics in marketing. Saying you're better than your direct competitor works in the sense of profiteering we're all keen to debate. I'd love for more services to be like that as a consumer.

But from the point of advocating, of course, I'd also support EFL.

I've actually been watching this thread, and then completely forgot to remind myself of the ICO start date. What's surprising is that it's already raised some 1,300 ETH at the time of writing, despite the verification documents needed (I'm in a country listed as needing to provide a copy of my National ID).

Perhaps if there were a bit more relaxation on that particular part, I wouldn't mind putting my measly ETH into this as a first-time ICO entrant. I'm certain I won't be the only one refraining just because of this single hurdle.

Nevertheless, retaining interest in this thread.

Nice idea for the daily chest, looks like I really need to get my villages up and running now to make all them lovely resources to buy APs.

Very good explanation as originally offered by Herbert2020 which summarises that the majority of users like us only need a single confirmation. Even the risk from a 2-confirmation tx was considered small in 2014, much more so today in 2017. I can easily see how progressively larger txs would require progressively more confirms.

I'd be interested to know how we might find these 3-block or even 6-block orphan you mentioned. What was the story behind that 6-block orphan?

I don't really fit into any category above. If I could create a category, mine would be "hobbyist" - I hold some crypto but due to economic reasons cannot seriously bank any coins to either be a "hodler" or a "smart-money".

However, whatever crypto I do obtain, I have held most. A small portion, about 10% perhaps, I gamble with or buy small services online. I suspect the majority of users here are like me.

Not sure what happened but seems the price has stabilised a bit, perhaps thanks to some back efforts by ricardo as mentioned. Added my vote #78 to tradesatoshi. Going to need a lot more users at POSW to hit the 1000 mark though, especially with only 1 vote a week allowed. Any plans to just buy those votes up?

Update:
TS votes 61,69,73 and 78. There were others but I forgot.
POSW: vote #33
