1841  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: would you invest in IEO instead of ICO projects? on: June 09, 2019, 11:39:17 AM
IEO seems to be more interesting to participate in, as you are on market already and you can do whatever you want with your coins instantly
Maybe it worked for the first 10 IEO and not for every exchange making IEO. The chance that the token will fall in price after  IEO has recently increased, everything has its risks.
That's called hype, if IEO always success or atleast have success rate above 80% everyone would be rich, it's just a really good project will rarely appear instead of the ordinary ones and when that happens people will get hyped up again. However the risk involved still far below unregulated ICO that tend to be a failure due to the easiness of ICO deployment.

Sorry, but story resembles  a bedtime tale .  I don't get  how you could send her a tip if (from what you just said) she had very little  knowledge on bitcoin. Sure you could generate a new address for her, send tip over there and hand out the relevant QR, but the questions remain whether you had time for that and if she was intelligent enough to utilize that QR.

These days we have google and other search engines to find anything we want. If the person have this intelligence that to find something she needs to use the search engine then they will figure out the rest.
True that, I mean it's a tip, anyone who got tip should be grateful regardless what kind of tip she/he receives as long as it's valuable, telling them to search up for bitcoin will get them to understand it anyway, not to mention that most of people right now have higher IQ than decades ago.
1843  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is blockchain a perfect solution? on: June 08, 2019, 08:33:00 AM
Blockchain system exist to combat greed and middlemen and to give individuals ultimate control of their identity and activity. In a blockchain future, we will see a world where our medical records are immediately available if we are in an accident; where online voting was possible; and where transparency was paramount and greed is disincentivized.

Essentially the middle man is another human, and humans are the most unpredictable kind of beings. We tend to trust machines and technology a lot more, and rightfully so. In Blockchain, you are putting that trust into cryptography and transparency. Transparency allows everyone to see and verify the rules, while cryptography ensures it does not get tampered. To verify something, a large number of nodes must all agree, which means they will outnumber any potential hacker. Thus, Blockchain is very hard to hack.
Blockchain technology is the solution to the modern problems that we are currently facing right now such as transparency and trust issues and with this technology, we don't have to worry about those issues anymore. There are a huge variety of uses with this technology maybe some people will not recognize it now because of negative impressions about the technology but sooner or later they will be surely using this technology in my own point of view. Cool

There is a reason why humans trust machines or new technologies these days and the word "TRUST" is one of the major reasons why if you get what I mean.
Well if the machines were programmed to just do that then people will be more likely to put their trust into the machine than the human, the blockchain transparency itself is a huge advantage, people have been trying to solve the trust issues that cause so many problems like corruption, nepotism and many more now finally blockchain arrives but it seems that people are still ignoring, so yeah. If blockchain is used for the right things it will massively benefits the society. People who says ill words about blockchain on more of social aspect doesn't seem to comprehend the real side of blockchain if used for right things.
1844  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: The concept of mining by playing games on: June 08, 2019, 08:05:30 AM
I've always been skeptical about mining while playing, it is open to laggy gameplay if it hasn't been coded properly. Wouldn't want to lose valuable processing power just for a few pennies

Mining in worldopo is done by "factories" in game, doesn't have anything at all with real crypto mining...better
read thoroughly before you make comment like that Wink

And "money" to buy factory you earn either by buying WPT coins, or collecting them while walking around

that is, this is a clicker game, to which is added the ability to buy tokens that were probably released on the ETH blockchain?
Why then the topic is in the section on mining, if it has no relation to mining (like mining rigs etc)?

Well, technically, its still mining, just alternative way...if we don't mind mining with CPU, GPU, ASIC or FPGA, why
disregard our own legs  Grin or in-game factory...that factory is just softweare representation of hardware miner
That could be said true if someone think of mining that way, even people could mine bitcoin with just a pencil and paper however the norm consider mining as using hash power from rigs to solve mathematical problem.
TBH I don't know how all these things works behind the game I guess the code is not an open source but still this will definitely takes a lot of effort than using the usual way of mining, but still I appreciate people who does this by spending their time and their efforts regardless the efficiency.
1845  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some IEOs could also turn out to be scam on: June 07, 2019, 09:56:46 PM
I agree with your points and that's the way it is. IEOs has proven to an extent to be better than ICOs.
 Irrespective of the fact that IEOs are trending now, but with time and if care is not taken scammers will start coming up, thus the importance of going for IEOs in trusted exchanges. We should try our best not to give scammers chances again.
When IEO turns out scam we can put the blame on the exchanges to bring ul the IEO into the surface and they are the one responsible to inspect the IEO, I mean the IEO must have rewarded some portion to the exchanges and that does make sense for the exchanges to be responsible.
1846  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tracking drugs or other stuff with the help of blockchain - Walmart, Carrefour on: June 07, 2019, 12:41:58 PM
Crypto and blockchain is different thing you know, most of the corporation think highly of blockchain since it could be used for their system and make it a lot more efficient meanwhile crypto is opposed by many of the governments and corporations. The blockchain itself also could be implemented for various things and tracking drugs is not a wishful thinking, you see why bitcoin blockchain transaction could be traced to certain extent? I guess that's what they are going to implement.
1847  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are altcoins useless? on: June 06, 2019, 09:21:31 PM
Most altcoins on the market are of course useless, but there are also useful, working and actual altcoins that develop the cryptocurrency
Well if you are talking about cryptocurrency that was made only for airdrop and market manipulation then yes, however if you are talking about altcoins that has raised huge funds then no, those coin usyally have unique function to their own, its just minority of them that really gets the attention.
1848  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance is Becoming a Crypto Monopoly on: June 06, 2019, 05:24:21 AM
The only thing what I don't like about Binance is that they restrict some users to participate in IEOs+ not allowing to use DEX for some countries looks weird and controversial to DEX ideology
The reason they do that is the fact that each of countries has their own regulation, if the intend to not comply with the regulation they could just make it available across the world because they are trying to gain as much customers as they can but NO the reason is regulation, some country doesn't like to accept such thing and some or I'd say the rest really have a strict regulation and it takes too much from a company to just get approved, that needs to be taken into account aswell.
1849  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Wifi vs wired internet for the rig on: June 06, 2019, 05:12:04 AM
It all depends on the quality of your router, the quality of your wifi adapter in your computer, how far the distance from your router to your wifi adapter, how many other wifi networks around in your area.

If all those factors are good, there is hardly any difference between wifi and wired.
Wifi is always worse then wired connection. It`s unstable even if the distance between router and computer is 2 meters. For gaming, internet - this is ok, but in mining this is losses. I calculated difference - it have been about 10%. Router was about 4 meters from rig
Definitely, 5Ghz wifi is OK, it's fast and things but sometimes it lost its connection not to mention that the wired connection is definintely A LOT stable because it is wired. Even for gaming wifi sometimes sucks because there's lost packet and stuff and that's kinda not worth it for business and it's for mining which requires more intensive work, also wired is cheaper, I can't see why people prefer to buy expensive wifi than ultra cheap cat6 LAN cable
1850  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do your research before investing in ICOs on: June 05, 2019, 09:51:14 PM
I always tell people about the risk involved in ICOs, so it's relevant to do thorough personal research before participating in any token sale. Have you looked into the product? Is the team trustworthy? Is the token economics cool? Can they achieve the project aim?
Nice question though,  but have you experienced such a situation where by a project has a solid team after reaching hard cap and they exit scam by telling the community that one of their team member pull out of their circle and dumped on the community?

Now that's a perfect scam,  crypto space is more or less unpredictable and it's about risk
solid team is not just factor can make some ico project can succed.
but how they are really want to release their platform/service for investor and how much investor are interest with the project.
but one point can we used as a benchmark for certifying a project is who their team is and also their advisor
Well solid team is also important factor however there are so many things that are required for the project to be able to succeed and that includes funds, community, good progression and many more just as you said, however I think the most important thing is how a project could attract people to be their cuatomers since as Ive seen most of the project failed to do that and become dead project at the end.
1851  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The reason we need cryptocurrencies on: June 05, 2019, 09:26:29 PM
break the world's order where the rich controls and above everything. Crypto has really brought change

Rich people are still on control, even if it is cryptocurrencies we are talking about. Whales can do anything, and that also means affecting the price. The thing about cryptocurrencies is that they are not fully in control since controlling a decentralized crypto, is not that easy.
True that, however atleast this decentralized nature of bitcoin requires a lot of resources to be able to control just as you said , however there is no organization that could control or change bitcoin aswell so it is pretty much just a price manipulation not system changing.
1852  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Wifi vs wired internet for the rig on: June 03, 2019, 09:22:21 AM
Wifi is good enough for most mining operations. I have used both wifi and ethernet cabled connection for mining and I hardly notice any difference at all. You can perfectly safe go with wifi for your mining rig.
It is always better to choose wired, wired is definintely more reliable than wireless, with wireless sometimes the connection lost and by that you may missed the chance of mining or wasting your time while you are away and cant monitor your rig.
Also wired connection tend to be faster than the wireless ones so the choice obviously wired ones just for more reliability.
1853  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are ICOs gonna phase out very soon? on: June 03, 2019, 05:08:58 AM
if the STO and IEO provide good opportunities for each project and the ICO investors will certainly be removed, after all, if the STO and IEO methods make investors more interested, who will use the ICO method?
I think the IEO is the latest innovation for investors to make better investments.
That's for certain, IEO help to select project that are legitimate unlike ICO which everyone are priveleged to start even if they are scammers in disguise. IEO could steal the attention of the ICO investors just easy
simply because, well, who doesn't wants a more secured and legit way of investing than just giving away our money to strangers? I guess the answer for that is obvious.
1854  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what we can buy with bitcoin ?? on: June 03, 2019, 04:42:46 AM
Why are people talking about things being illegal or legal? You don't need permission to trade what you won. It's yours you can do as you wish with it. Bitcoin has never needed to be legal because it's never been illegal and never will be. China try censorship and look how far that got them? People just use vpn to use google.
I guess its better to prevent something bad from happening than waiting to happen to ourselves, people talking about legal or illegal is really make sense considering that they may have some kind of strict rules or punishment in their country for the use of unapproved currency.
However making a transaction is entirely a different thing to website blocking, that should not be compared to each other.
1855  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: would you invest in IEO instead of ICO projects? on: June 02, 2019, 11:03:52 PM
Yes why won't I, my reason is that at least I won't be risking my funds. Since IEOs are conducted by exchanges it offers a good level of funds security, while the long term sustainability of the project is left to the team.
So yes, I would invest as it is better than ICOs.
There is no need to decline the opportunity from ICO if that is really worthy for investment, knowing the fact that not all of them are a scam, shit project or anything we think negative for them. Why not giving them a chance and not to look at them in general.
We still don't know if IEO will prove that they are different from ICO, it is not long enough that they are started and we can't blame that some of us will still put doubts on them. It may be they will appreciate it once proven good and profitable.
well IEO is basically a more legitimate crowdfunding method than ICO so I guess IEO without proving is already better than ICO in term of legitimacy and that's why most of IEO that are hosted on popular exchanges selling like a hot cakes.
Maybe as you said there is some good ICO among shitty ICO however doesn't cover the fact that all these shit ICO's distinguish could sometimes make the good ICO invisible.
1856  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Drop in ICO Price after listing on: June 02, 2019, 04:20:26 PM
I think it is normal for some ICO token to dropping after the sale over.
It is because most of ICO have pre-sale period that have more discount from ICO main sale price.
So, if the token was not locked, the pre-sale investors could sell lower than public sale price.
That's totally not normal, if the ICO is normal atleast the price will remains dormant since the investor still not losing trust to their project so they didnt dump. Instead if a project is just merely over hyped then there will be a mass dumping because the Pre-ICO phase have far cheaper price resulting in mass dumping and investor trying to take a small profit out of this.
1857  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons why ICOs fail on: June 01, 2019, 03:51:17 PM
Reason for ICO fail:
There are too many ghost projects, and drawing makes investors afraid to invest. Too many pitfalls, making investors no longer trust ICO. Low profit, very high loss of capital. Many reasons why ICO failed.

A lot of investors maybe loss in past ICO and new ICO keep coming. Actually what you said very logic because less investor means not much money to invest in ICO nowadays. And i think something like this need to be fixed.
The trust that has declined has become a major problem why many ICOs are currently failing to run or fund. in terms of investors themselves are also more careful now in investing. do not carelessly invest
after the ico incident failed, of course there will be many investors who are starting to be cautious, until another failed ico happens, making investors' trust seem to be lost, and as if we are difficult to distinguish good and bad ico
Actually it is big problem for crypto community itself if in my opinion. Because people will think crypto is something that only make them lose and then they will think bad about ICO. In past, when it is not much ICO like this, a lot of traders make positive things in crypto community.
Scamming although is really wrong but can happen anywhere and it's not only limited to cryptocurrency, although we ought to need to implement strict regulation to prevent any scam, however people can't just put a blame to cryptocurrency if someone does something wrong, I mean that's like accusing an open source project as failure just because something bad happened to individual between someone else and that's really wrong.
1858  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin as a leading currency? on: June 01, 2019, 09:49:03 AM
I don't think it's a top currency. I think it only promotes its hidden power when it is a trading tool and an asset to help prevent inflation. That is what investors are interested in. We should not expect and want it to become a currency anymore, I think it is not suitable for that.
Its total supply is very low to serve that.
Before talking about how the supply is too low to serve as a currency, you must consider that bitcoin also has decimal number and it is called satoshi, even 1 bitcoin could be divided into millions of satoshi, also mbtc and ubtc there's nothing to worry about when it comes to bitcoin's first purpose as a currency, believe it or not bitcoin has been considered as a currency due to the fact that some major platform accepting it as a means of payment.
1859  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: would you invest in IEO instead of ICO projects? on: June 01, 2019, 08:37:38 AM
ICO or IEO does not matter
There are good ICOs out there, just need to find a good one to invest
If it's that easy then there'll be no thing called IEO for sure, the sole reason of IEO existence is the fact that ICOs nowadays are full of unreliable project or in the other words full of money grabbing greedy developers, though there's plenty of legit project but with the existence of IEO, that legit project will try to apply for IEO to popular exchanges, the fact that many IEO are popular or even oversold is because people are tired of random ICO, they want legit things.
1860  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining ETH is now no profit on: May 31, 2019, 03:53:09 PM
Mining is still profitable especially for those who didn't pay for their electricity cost. I do not pay electricity but the thing is I have a very poor internet connection here in my location that's why I do not mine it for now.
Guessing from your post you might be living near a power plant, whether it sorts of renewable or unrenewable ones however majority of people are not in that situation though, there's an alternative indeed called solar panel but the efficiency is so so, also considering that there's requirement to get the highest electricity output from using this, it's just undeniable statement that mining ETH is currently not profitable.
