Most likely you've clicked the link on your email / SLACK Channel. It is known to the community that slack is famous for PHISHING Message / SPAM to trick you to send Ether to X or Y or Z address in order to get FREE AIRDROPS. The name can be the same as the original name/domain ~MYETHERWALLET (e.g. myétherwallet / mÿetherwallet / myetherwaÌÌet / myethërwallet / myetherwàllet ...etc... DO not click any link from any email / slack / telegram channels in the future. These maybe the most common mistakes that newbie / tech savvy users encountered. Always always type it on your browser or do google search on the keywords. Assure that the site is secured with the original MYETHERWALLET LLC Certificate (SSL / Secured page).

Even google search you gotta be careful because nothing is safe. Here's a scenario! When you type myetherwallet, a list will be shown to you and Never ever click on the Google adwords that contains the name of your search terms that could potentially be a malicious site.


Nope! There's no way you are getting back those tokens you sent back to the impersonator unless you have the private key!
Hard lesson learnt worth that much of ETH!

Note : Always insatall METAMASK on google chrome (free extension available). With that, you can be secured from these phishing site but not 100%, at least there's a warning!

I agree to this that you should invest in multiple crypto and not showing all hand into one crypto; balance up at least 3-4; max 5-9 cryptos

Probably a redundant of similar protocol in 2 language

Been in Crypto for almost half a year, and I never own any ETH to be honest! Besides, some good ERC-20 token under Ethereum like PAY (Tenx), KNC (Kyber), BAT (Basic Attention Token), MTL (Metal), ZRX (0x Blockchain Exchange), SNT (Status Network Token), ADT (AdToken), NET (Nimiq); ---- the rest you can stay away!

These are all potential coins that are capable of running their own blockchain one day! Like QTUM, now on their own MAINNET and will no longer be ERC-20 token soon!

You can check out Electroneum! Mobile mining blockchain solutions! Based in UK! Current bonus is around 20%. Minimum contribution is 0.01 ETH, once you've registered and login to the dashboard, you'll see a calculator and calculate your ETN bonus with the amount invested! Current 13941 ETH & 1089 BTC raised. They have some detailed whitepaper you can read on!
You can click the link below me and check it out!

Not at all, you can start with mining Altcoins, and exchange it to Bitcoin! Not a difficult task but learning process on how to earn your first crypto! There's a beginners guide somewhere in the forum you can kick off with!

$20k is a good amount for the following promising ICOs and Altcoins


ICOs
Electroneum (ETN) - mobile mining and mass adoption (for general public to taste what cryptocurrency is like)
UTrust - payment mechanism like paypal and able to convert crypto to fiat



Altcoins
Tenx (PAY) - making crypto spendable; promising roadmap; scalability upgrade; Asia debit card distribution; dividend
Status Network Token (SNT) - promising roadmap; mobile decentralize OS; dApps support; send ETH via message
HTML5 (HTMLCOIN) - 3 sats as for now; interesting roadmap; many interesting platforms
Zencash (ZEN)- secure masternodes; privacy transactions; a fork from Zclassic
NEO - 'The chinese Ethereum' (rebranding from Antshares); Neocontracts; dApps; dBFT consensus mechanism; superconducting transactions; NeoX-NeoQS-NeoFS

I have also made a list of potential coins here, maybe you can have a look.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2222435.0

China will held their 19th National Congress on 18 October and only after that, China will be back in the crypto field with regulated exchange just like Japan. The reason why china banned ICO and shut down exchange has something to do with this National congress.

You can try Electroneum; the mobile crypto. You can also use your mobile to mint the coin with minimal internet usage and not much resources used. I must admit minting on mobile is nothing new but it will be a breakthrough for mass adoption for the general public though. You can click the link below to join the ICO.

What I don't like about Ethereum is the GAS used. It can be relatively cheap you know? Who wants to pay for a 500k GAS to send a transaction during congestion?? Like IOTA, using the tangle chain and 0 transaction fee which is a breakthrough and many company is looking into it!

Ethereum is current the #no2 of all Altcoins with smart contract features and possibly one of the strongest among all Altcoins. Which coin do you think will replace Ethereum in the future (if they managed to fork)? Or do you think Ethereum will remain it's #no2 position and and no other Altcoins can beat? I have a list below that have the potential. Would appreciate to have your input.

1. Lisk (open source; Crypti fork)
    - Javascript (typescript) based; Blockchain Application Platform; DPOS; Lisk APP SDK; Sidechain owner rights
  

2. Qtum (open source; combines Bitcoin Core fork; ERC-20 token) own Mainet soon!
    - hybrid blockchain application platform; self-aware governing system; EVM; POS; Oracle & Datafeeds allow smart contracts
  


3. MelonPort (open source; ERC-20 token)
    - Asset (Hedge Fund) management; M-0; Module builders; smart contract with traceable transaction; Oyente partnership
  

4. Zcash (open source)
   - privacy-shielded transactions (inc. public & private address); zero-knowledge proof @ zk-SNARKs;
  

5. EOS (open source; ERC-20 token)
   - powered by Block.one; POS; horizontal scaling of dAPPS; token distribution for 341 days; flexi-applications; web toolkits
    
  
6. NEO (open source)
   - 'The chinese Ethereum' (rebranding from Antshares); Neocontracts; dApps; dBFT consensus mechanism; superconducting transactions; NeoX-NeoQS-NeoFS
    
  

Personally I vote for #14 which has the weight and definition of postoken logo

Good to see etn linked to wallet on Android. Any idea when iOS mobile wallet is launched?

I agree, without a team and github history you have no idea with their development history.
- Only 1 contribution on Github : https://github.com/SmartBillions
  (no coding history; not knowing the history of the programmer)
- There's no copyright matters on the page bottom
- no 1500 ETH (for Hackaton) on contract as stated
- no Team & Dev's listed on the page
- worse of all, BLURRED Roadmap (and to be revealed after ICO)
- WHOIS : https://www.whois.com/whois/smartbillions.com
  (registered user could be from Poland)

As stated, there's no 1500 ETH in the contract to do the Hackaton!
Maybe you can enlighten me?

According to smart billion website,

http://www.smartbillions.com/hackathon.html

Pointing contract address : 0x5acE17f87c7391E5792a7683069A8025B83bbd85

that said they have put 1500 ETH into the smart contract and initiate a hackaton.

But looking at the smart contract with 0.24 ether...

Please explain...

I am a trueflip token holder. The funds can now be withdraw to an Ethereum contract on the menu. No doubt, they have some issues on the withdrawal earlier.

what's the price like in 1 year time? How many satoshis? Any idea?

Any 1 here have any idea why xvg electrum wallet / tor wallet is not syncing?
Can post the connecting server address and port here? Thanks!

How is this different from Aventus , Blocktix, Guts , Lava?
