18541  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Gulden a good investment? on: November 16, 2016, 07:25:08 AM
A lot of people secretly have their eyes on this update. Most people believe it won't be anything special but I do think this team delivers.

Not sure if the devs have heard of WAVES? Should 1.6.0 be a evolutionary update the devs might want to consider applying to WAVES team. The advantage is there is only 100 million coins and a community that is not only cared about Bitcoin. It looks like Gulden has no hope because traders have control for your coin and even if 1.6.0 is a miracle update you won't breakout passed 20 million as traders keep dumping.

With WAVES there is no PoW to worry about and increased supply that traders can use to manipulate the price.

Lets see if the 1.6.0 update is any good.

Waves wouldn't be 5 million in marketcap with PoW rewards.

These are the real coins in the top 20. The rest are created for easy manipulation.

1. Bitcoin
2. Ethereum
3. Litecoin
4. Dash
5. Dogecoin
6. Gulden

The community for a PoW coin with a similar marketcap is far greater in size then these 100% premined coins.

I am a newbieish crypto myself but have never honestly seen gulden nor heard of it til I trawled forums here.

This is the 2nd mention i have stumbled across but to call it the 6th "real" coin? I have heard and seen merchants offering all the 5 but not gulden!

Now don't see this as a troll post, but am I crazy to think that you should always hold a bit of DOGE? Especially now, seeing as the coin pumps a bit early in the new year.

I still personally feel it will never go out of fashion - sure it will never hit the heights of stardom but it will always be the coin of tippers, generous givers and free-flowing fun.
18544  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: LBRY.IO - DICUSSION THREAD on: November 14, 2016, 05:04:46 PM
Was a bit of a confusing coin - I saw an ad for it, tried to join but realised it needed an invite and have waited now for 2 months with nothing. I understand more referrals help so tough luck for me on that part!

My only real interest to be honest was that it seemed to be a place to help writers get published and so on... I even applied to be a contributor in that respect but did not hear back so I imagine the quality of applicants must be quite high.

A bit sad to learn the coin has plummeted.
18545  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: where does transaction fees go to on: November 14, 2016, 04:48:04 PM
To help you understand why fees are charged: just think of the fee as a miner's fee... payment for their troubles to confirm your transactions on the blockchain.

That said, fees are still considered to be at your discretion.

It used to be common place for transactions with zero fees, but most (if not all?) networks now impose a minimum fee - depending on your wallet, you can still set your fee size manually. The common wisdom is that a higher fee is likelier to result in quicker confirmations. Personally, I never have had an urgent transaction so I send a fee that's just enough for a medium priority transaction - it still arrives within 3-6 hours I find.

I haven't found a way to send an absolute zero fee transaction, so cannot test if it is still possible!
18546  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to make a 100,000$ with an ICO on: November 13, 2016, 04:33:17 PM
Hi there, indeed stumbled upon your thread although I actually know you from another.

I definitely feel for the thousands of people who continue to be duped by ICO - especially those who buy-in in good faith, absolutely thinking that they're doing something useful for a legitimate cause.

Of course, greed is the driving force behind many (who are perfectly aware of the scam) who as mentioned believe they can dump faster than the others. They regularly make profit from this slightly more sophisticated form of HYIP.

Would be very interested to read more on your investigative findings - and would love to be part of it once I get my head properly wrapped up around crypto. Am a former journalist myself more used to dirty work on the ground. Perhaps some day soon, there could be a 3rd party doing due diligence for all new ICOs and help potential investors gauge the soundness of their business plans.
18547  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Question: How much would it cost to create an altcoin? on: November 13, 2016, 02:56:13 PM
Don't forget about the true cost of getting your altcoin to develop and stay alive! Calculated in time and money.

The costs mentioned here seem to be start-up costs (even the promotion) but you'd like for the development team to remain with the project for a proper duration, or at least have good transitional periods for development take-overs.

More importantly to me, you want the community involved to be a lot more interested in the coin's idea rather than its profitability and that will be a lot harder to determine (I suspect profiteers will actually cost more to bring on board!). Which is why your new altcoin should fill a need or serve an unmet need.

Just an inquiry: has there been any success with any of your projects? It would be nice to see some portfolio or past-performance data for both new coin creation and revivals/takeovers.

I'm interested, but for now only out of curiosity as I don't want to contribute to the growing graveyard of pump-and-dump alts.
18549  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Zcash worth to invest in it? on: November 13, 2016, 02:44:49 PM
Other than the fact that Zcash hit those crazy prices upon launch... you might as well replace "Zcash" with the name of any other altcoin and you'll find typically the same responses: pump and dump, over-hyped, founders' rewards, premining...

"Investment" in an altcoin is pretty much a pipe dream that idealists are beginning to learn to stay away from. Virtually all mining of new coins is speculative and for-profit now. I know there are the few that will prove to be the opposite and I'm very glad for them. In which case, just wait to acquire these normally if you truly have a use for them.
18550  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the best way to cashout your bitcoin now? on: November 13, 2016, 02:38:21 PM
Everyone will suggest localbitcoins and that is a great first-time method.

As the site's name suggests, the cheapest option is likely always in your home country, as people will be able to transfer you fiat for little or no cost - therefore eliminating most of the fees caused by exchanging.

Personally, I also look in local language forum content, find an exchanger with either a high trust rating or willing to go e-scrow for the first exchange. It also helps to build a contact of personal people from home I know well. With time, it's a small network of people willing to send each other fiat/crypto/e-currency for a fraction of even localbitcoin fees.
18551  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin taxation in the UK? on: November 12, 2016, 05:09:35 PM
I think is good news
because if bitcoin can pay TAX, so bitcoin in regulated too
and all country regulated bitcoin, so bitcoin can use all country in the world
and not problem about law

Not picking on you but this type of thinking seems to be in conflict with why bitcoin was created in the first place.
If you want to regulate and suck dry the concept of bitcoin,its best to drive this attitude into a alt-coin and not run bitcoin off into lalaland.

Regulation does not bring automatic global approval,it brings complicated cross border issues as each Country will have different rules for clients to jump through.
So you actually create more roadblocks than you would think,all the well allowing government to document you for future scrutiny. Its very shortsighted and this ideology needs to be squashed.

Tax is like bending over and asking for another smack on the ass because you like submitting to authority. Once a tax is in place it rarely if ever goes away and quite often is increased for multiple reasons. One could be to kill bitcoin altogether and bring in a more streamlined coin that has a backdoor.
You have to understand that the blockchain gets more love from governments and banks because they want to copy it,not extend it. Copying it would allow them to insert all kinds of goodie like my favorite,negative interest rates!


Here's someone who's given a thought to bitcoin's original (and I believe, current) agendas. Which is really why I don't understand how it's becoming more and more difficult for newcomers to the scene to obtain some of their own bitcoin (I'm talking about the ridiculous rules and restrictions from exchangers now). Whatever happened to the feel-good community factor and ideology of freedom? I feel like only Dogecoin is still close to the spirit intended.

P.S. If they start taxing bitcoin, people will just choose another crypto =)
18552  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the minimum amount to start as a trader? on: November 12, 2016, 04:59:04 PM
As you can see from most of the answers, you can start as low as 10,000 satoshi - now to me, that is the soundest advice you can take from anyone starting out as a trader. Learn the markets, learn the events and how they affect movements - most importantly, learn about your own behaviours as a trader.

Don't take the advice of min 1-2 BTC. Not until you're serious!
Once you're comfortable with trading then you trade with a bigger bankroll, and always to the amount you're comfortable to do without!

BTW, a broker with higher leverage means your small amount can be used to buy more than its actual value, so use that to your advantage...
18553  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way for steady income on: November 12, 2016, 04:53:23 PM
Well, this means you want to make money without work for it? Hard very hard!
The only thing that comes to my mind is building up a good amount of referrals for a profitable service, e.g. gambling sites, PTC-sites or various other Bitcoin affiliate sites. But you need to do much work at the beginning and it is not certain that it will work.

Probably agree with this quote the most: if I had a sizeable coins balance, I'd work a little hard in the beginning to run a good referral service for some of those casinos or PTC sites. You even don't need the thousands of refs... just 50 good ones should be enough to get you regular bitcoins. Small income perhaps but completely passive after the initial work. It is not a sure thing though as mentioned.

Pure investment? You could try some of those sites bankrolling casinos - there is of course a chance to lose money but in the very long term, you should profit.
18554  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Could Ethereum takeover Bitcoin? on: November 12, 2016, 04:43:47 PM
When you guys say, "Ethereum will take over Bitcoin as the next viable cryptocurrency" you are hugely mistaken.  It's not even a currency to say the least, it just acts like a currency because you can trade it in for bitcoins and also be able to send them, which makes it an asset at the least... An asset that allows you to access the services that Ethereum has the potential to provide.

Ethereum isn't a currency.

You do realise you could easily switch eth with btc in the above statement and it'd work out just as well on your logic? They're both cryptocurrency and both are blockchain assets so it is a bit pointless to dismiss them that way.

But back to the topic, the question is perhaps far too simplistic: "Could ETH take over BTC?".

Assuming it's in popularity and percentage of overall crypto transacts, then personally, can't see it happening too quickly, if ever at all. BTC will almost always be the first currency used by newcomers and it would take a more serious user to consider the advantages/other aspects of using ETH.
18555  Economy / Economics / Re: why is it so hard to buy bitcoin on: November 11, 2016, 08:18:59 AM
If you use USD and want Yen you don't necessarily have to exchange them. You can start working for Yen. It's the same with bitcoins. You don't have to buy them you can just start services to earn them. I like it better because then you don't have to give out your ID to some online company!
That's an extremely limited niche, though.  It's like selling stuff for bitcoin--your market is very small.  It's better to earn fiat and buy bitcoin.  And fiat is more stable.  Would you really want your paycheck in bitcoin?


Actually there is now an option to get your paycheck paid in bitcoin! And you don't even really need to get your employer to agree to do so.

You could look up bitwage to see what I am talking about. Apparently you can even set a percentage of your paycheck to be paid to your bitwallet.

I am looking forward to try it out myself once i get proper employment. Beats having to buy it and worry about whether you're getting it or not.
18556  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Day Trading Crypto- Currencies Is Dead... on: November 11, 2016, 08:06:15 AM
I doubt it is dead, day trading is in fact growing in plausibility as crypto gets more and more accepted by traditional finance and economic institutions.

As acceptance grows, so will interest from real investors and businesses. Soon, real world political and economic events will have as much impact on crypto as they do on forex and futures. Look at how bitcoin moved during the last few days (sure in reaction to the dollar but nevertheless...).

Perhaps you need to start removing old threads/info or redirect to a new thread that explains what has happened and where it is now with Victoriouscoin.

I just tried reading and am a bit lost.
18559  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Is there other services except signature campaign on: November 11, 2016, 12:04:03 AM
The only way to start from nothing really is faucets and patient collecting of micro earnings here, my friend.

But be patient here: read, learn and contribute. I recently just turned member without even really counting the days and now am looking for a signature campaign that pays (applied for my first already). Good luck to you and keep your head up!

People may be shocked at his methods now but anyone who's seen his success and popularity as mayor for decades will understand that his people will reward results with more support.

His hardline stance is something I like. It's what the drug infestation needs now. Perhaps in a future when the druglords have fear, then other methods can be explored.
