I first found pirl a month or two ago when it popped up on whattomine.com. I bought some purely speculatively when it showed up on whattomine thinking that it would gain more buyers now that it is being "advertised".
The main thing that I am curious about is what are the nodes for besides paying out to their operators. Or is pirl just supposed to be an investment for the operators/developers?

Gpu miners don't have as much loyalty as asic miners. It is much easier for gpu miners to just switch to another pool. I do not see there being a successful hard fork for that reason.

What are going to be the best advancements in technology for crypto next year?
I think that atomic swaps are going to become widely used for Btc, Ltc, and Vtc.
What else am I missing that could happen next year?

My two picks for 2018:
Zencash: Secure nodes will be running soon, private transactions, encrypted messaging, decentralized governence
Vertcoin: Asic resistant, Segwit, Lightning network, atomic swaps, great community

Hi Everyone, I just wanted your point of view about mining either ETH (actually getting 120 mh/s on Nanopool) or mining using NiceHash to get paid on BTC. Im absorbing all the electricity and hardware cost, i just want some coints no hodl for mid or long-term. Iīm mining ETH now, with the hope that it double their value in 1 year or so, but BTC is rising above 10k and i think it keep rising.  Please leave your comment and why you choose that. The cost of the btc transactions from nicehash to your wallet eat into your earnings. I would recommend mining eth or whatever altcoin you prefer over nicehash. |

I think we have 2 main challenges.
1. Transaction rate. Check out BTC its always in 20K-30K transactions behind
2. Decentralization. We dont want china to tell us what to do even theoreticaly
We also have business oportunities. From the top of the list:
1. Smart contracts is radically new and awesome idea. Just check out what BitMEX did with XBTUSD contracts, totally awesome.
2. Wide adaptation of crypto on regular markets
So
I invest in smart contracts. ETH, NEO, WAVES, Stratis
And in faster transactions. BitShares, 0x, LTC
I like WAVES a lot by the way, not the best solution but very solid and well built.
I agree with the two main challenges but to add a third is security/privacy. |

Hey guys, As all of us know ETH will switch to POS .. so mining [forging] will happen in Master nodes So ., what happens to the miners ?? they switch ., and if their devices are tweaked to mine ETH they will probably switch to ETC Which in return will raise ETC [i myself think it'll reach ~50-100 USD right before the switch and up to ~200 USD afterwards  ] What do you think ?? Share your opinion and all opinion are welcome even if you believe that ETC is a shit coin but mention your reasons Do you know what day it will be happening? |

Other mining profitability sites have had Bitcoin gold on them for a about a week now. https://www.crypto-coinz.net/crypto-calculator/crypto-coinz.net is normally a little more up to date with newer coins but you do need to put in your own hashrate and power consumption. |

zencash is going to 40$ with the secure nodes
My opinion is this time next year zen will be around $200 this dev team seems to be on top of what's is happening and never leaves the community in the dark I think the team in coin is different from any other If some mediocre-priv product like Dash with huge premine can be 600$... i see no reason why Zen canīt be 200$... They just need to improve marketing and some branding+design in the look&feel of the wallet (some of that is on the way), The tech part is top. There is a rebranding that will happen once the secure nodes are fully functional on the mainnet. I suspect that will happen just after the start of the new year. |

we are waiting 15000$ above by ending of the this 2017,
Yeah why not. or a dip could happen |

I never got hurt.
As long as you can keep your temps under control your cards should be fine.

in my opinion mining is the only good way of distributing coins. something like the model that bitcoin is using is a proper way of doing it without creating inflation, killing the coin because of bigger supply than demand, and lots of other factors.
airdrops are not bad by nature either. i prefer the mining that i said here, but i can see airdrops can also be a nice way of distributing but to this day i have not seen a 100% fair distribution because there will always be the question of "how to distribute"? they use bitcointalk rank, bitcoin balance,... and things like that but while it may seem fair but it doesn't really feel fair. someone who owns 1000BTC will gain a lot more than someone who has 1BTC. in other words rich gets richer.
and ICOs are just getting some large amount of money all of a sudden!
with mining you have to work for it.
I do like mining as well. Especially with asic resistant coins, it is a more fair way to distribute the currency. |

If you look at the announcement forum every fifth post is an airdrop for some ICO. Do airdrops distribute coins more effectively than token sale?
I do not see them being any more effective than a token sale. They just lessen the value of what ever coin they are for.

has anyone every made money with airdrops?

I am a fan of using Gdax. All of the fees are placed on the price takers. https://www.gdax.com/fees/ETH-USD You can then withdrawal usd directly to your bank account. |

As a rule of thumb, I don't trust ICOs.

Info about secure nodes from https://securenodes.na.zensystem.io/aboutSecure Nodes employ encrypted communication to other nodes and wallets. They also are intended to provide services applications like mobile wallets at a later time. Each of the Secure Nodes connect to this system which tracks the state of the node. This server helps ensure a healthy network by periodically sending challenges to nodes to prove capability. The tracking system is completely independent of any ZenCash transaction processing. It provides a means for node operators to share a small portion of the block generation rewards. Payments based on a 3.5% percentage of the mined block reward are split between all Secure Nodes that adhere to the criteria below. Situations such as down time, low stake balance and other exceptions are factored into the payment. For more information visit https://zensystem.io and https://securenodes.na.zensystem.io/about |
