You'd think that a project with such an old (relative in crypto terms that is) history and even a presence on trade platforms might be a little more discussed, but I actually only have seen MaidSafe in passing on this forum, though recently it was a top 10 on the list of highest-performing Alts for 2016, in terms of price/btc.
With all the millions referenced here, it's difficult to see why it hasn't taken off until now...

My vote is yes, and this is only specific to the "crypto gambling" community. It may not be as glamourous as dev communities or even trader communities, but I personally feel it has its place, however niche.
I dare say I am trying to slowly be part of existing communities otherwise interested in the proliferation and progress of crypto but I do not think I will properly be a useful member of such communities just yet. It's difficult also to see where that community is on this forum, if there is one at all.

This isn't a direct comment on the coin, but on the idea that distribution for the sole purpose of getting as many people as possible using it: I think the idea is great and the numbers behind it are sound. The one clear path for a coin to succeed is to have as many people using it, but not simply owning it. This coin and others need to explore a better method of gaining users other than just simply giving it away.
You want people to want to own it and use it, not so much just making money of it.
I liked Byteball's route, for example.

Hey, doge is pretty damn stable compared to a lot of other coins, and that's good for any currency. Right? It's definitely still alive and well, even if it isn't the most glamorous thing. People use it, unlike all the other turds.
I am a professed doge lover... the fun spirit of the coin still thrives and is very much alive. You can see this especially in casinos that use Doge. It is the choice coin for tips and giveaways... I have tens of thousands just from random tippers, even after giving tens of thousands away myself. It's still unique and it still recently gives to charitable causes. Moon it may never be, but it is here to stay for a long, long time. |

I've had probably five or so posts deleted as well, and in self-moderated posts, so I can only assume that these posts were deleted because OP didn't like the comments (I don't believe I indulge in trolling much, but like most here, we can be overly cynical).
This all happened when I was newbie and junior member too, and hasn't happened since turning regular member... I'd not worry about it at all=)

When I was a newbie, my first coin was btc and my first alt was ETH. The very first faucets I visited gave me free dust but in varying denominations of satoshi, umBTC, gwei. Can be confusing but still use this site every now and then to find out exactly how much BTC is 300 gwei. Code: Name : Ether FundType : Browser Link : http://ether.fund/tool/converterDescription : Converts between various denominations of ETH and BTC |

First of all, don't quite understand the title: how can volatility be equal? Secondly, do we really want bitcoin's volatility to be equal to fiat? And wait, if the value of btc is always measured against fiat anyway, then it would be impossible to equal unless we start pegging bitcoin to a currency basket, or a single currency.

Which Altcoins should I hold onto for yonks ?  Yonks meaning ages or a very long time  Thanks in advance  For me it is a simple question of which coins are the easiest to gain regularly for free... and based on this I started collecting only btc, doge, ltc and eth. I still consider these my Big Four. Without a doubt I only hold bitcoin seriously, but I still collect the other 3 whenever it is convenient. Basically it just means I check a few faucets daily. Hardly anything, perhaps 5 cents from each alt weekly but for 2 minutes a day I don't feel they are an utter waste of time! |

I am a newbie in trading and I'm wondering what Altcoin is promising this 2017?
I am sure best performing Crypto is already well known right now. Most likely will be one that reached bottom right now. And those that monitor that coin know well it will preform good in 2017. Here is list best performing coins in 2016, so you can taste what showing best performance is: Name: value in btc: value in $: value in btc: value in $: difference in $: difference in %:

Although I generally ignore altcoins, even I am surprised to see that I only recognised three coins in the top 20 of this list! It's slightly discouraging to see that most people understand "promising" as profitable. The sole deciding factor here is price, nothing else to distinguish these alts. |

Good read, and no harm to repeat points as a way of constantly urging each of us to continuously promote and advocate for bitcoin.
To be honest, I don't quite understand why there would be market panic - the price surge was a bit sudden and it was bound for a correction.
I bit, therefore I am.

Just a matter of getting it out of the way but the term "sleeping giant" to me is still only applicable to bitcoin itself... but we can argue among the alts if we prefer...
I'm going to take a small plunge with this - any suggestion for a good place to get small orders?
Any known sites committed to accepting it yet?

These are, as Spoetnik mentions, people who were well-schooled in the traditional MLM ponzi methodology. There are actually only a handful right at the top who work on a series of MLM ventures at a time, running on a well-oiled machine that just moves along when a ponzi is found out or when it runs out of new members.
The ones who get caught are not part of the inner circle, unfortunately... the real puppet masters have not been caught and only leave when the new generation has been trained to take over.

I answered "yes" but I suspect I misinterpreted the true meaning after reading the first 30 posts haha.
1. Any kind of work should get compensation. Deserves is entitlement... what's that saying? You get what you get, you deserve all the rest.
2. I do agree that a true project often starts with people who truly want to fix something, work on it, and share it. The community, having realised the worth or importance of the project, often voluntarily pays or donates. Spoetnik's right to point out the great projects all start out like this - advocates and believers who pour their lives, money, savings, everything into an idea, and still after a working product is shared, do not feel they deserve to be rich. I myself whenever possible use these "free" projects and always pay what I believe is correct. Voluntarily. A good project will pay for itself.
3. The sad - and as a newbie only several months learning about crypto, I feel VERY sad seeing its state, especially when a newbie's education on bitcoin talks about its foundations and its ideals - truth is that crypto is seen by so many as their chance at a quick buck. Nothing wrong with wanting to make money, I do too! But I think at this rate we're going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

One suggestion is to look for a parts dealer that you can:
1. Buy a used/new GPU from.
2. Can agree to take your GPU as a trade-in for a new or another used GPU.
While initial price for Step 1 might be a bit more than if you scout yourself, you can offset your 2nd GPU buy with a trade-in.
This way you always stay a step ahead with GPU upgrades, with marginal costs outlay for every new buy. Both you and dealer also know you're buying/selling same GPU so it's in dealer's interest and yours to be upfront about the state of the used item.

I won't share my biggest regret as it's already mentioned by someone else here.
Biggest regret is losing my original bct account created many years ago. (tied to an old email on a domain I no longer own)True, it probably only had 2 posts or 3, as I only picked up bitcoin last September, but I'd have a good ranked account otherwise.
Not truly a regret any longer, though, as I would not use that account were I able to recover it now.

Always healthy to have as much scrutiny from as many different sources, independent and otherwise.
Is Ripple the only one who finds the report and its methodology flawed and, therefore, unactionable? I find it unlikely that ALL these would result in false positives and it seems even Ripple concurs.

As much as I like bitcoin, I really don't see why bitcoin should be added to an already bloated school syllabus (I doubt fiat is even part of syllabus).
There can be mention of it if learning about currency and certainly blockchain tech should be a subject in IT studies but it doesn't or shouldn't be taught in schools as a deliberate subject.

I'm sure there were a lot of people somewhat deflated by how quickly bitcoin slid back down the $1000 slope but this will be tempered by the opportunity to buy even more at today's relatively good prices.
I'm still a good three months away from being in a position to purchase my first bitcoin... so a part of me hopes for even lower prices by April.
I know I'm not alone among long-term holders too!

I have seen several posts in local boards (Malaysia) of people trying to sell that brass coin, with very few people registering interest.
If I were you, I would just hold on to it as a souvenir. You do realise it is unfunded, right?

So have the winners been decided yet? Was on the verge if sending an application myself but could not possibly submit one that was ready before the deadline. Nonetheless it would be interesting to see the projects that succeeded in getting the grants... and the follow ups!
