Hi! I'm just want to know how to make a portfolio so that I can go for an exchange. I have get my coins from a bounty campaign and there are many exchange that are available for it and I want to go for now. What to do? How can I make a portfolio ? Is portfolio really needed or if you just want to have one? Thanks in advance.
Not sure if you know the actual meaning of ''portfolio'' Is portfolio really needed or if you just want to have one? if they are erc20 tokens just put them in myetherwallet or whatever Ethereum wallet you use, if you want to sell them just go on the exchange with the most volume. |

Are there any particular things that you consider red flags when buying cryptocurrency? There are a lot of cryptocurrency out there with more being introduced every day. I'm pretty new to cryptocurrency so I'm looking for input from others as far as red flags that I should avoid or other things that I should be careful about.
Its a bit subjective, a lot of the opinions people will give also relates to how much risk they are willing to take. Red flags are common sense really. You should really know the ins- and outs of if you want to make responsible choices which also boils down to experience and knowledge of investing. There are so many red flags it would be hard to list them all so just use common sense and always ask why, if some whitepaper looks like a brochure with fancy marketing language then ignore that project and be aware of any ICOs that are flashing with industry names (like Roger Ver) these companies only do that to get your attention and your money and often those situations don't work out well. The example I give you now also illustrates how subjective it is and that it boils down to experience. Try to become familiar with the space first, maybe look up past scams and analyze them for their red flags so you can learn from the mistakes of others. |

I need some ICO Agencies or Consultancy to comlete works like ICO Whitepaper creation, press release creation.Is there any of them. How to find.
https://icobox.io/ third parties like this can help, I just plucked this of of google search, I don't know if they are a company you can trust or whether they are the right solution to you. Look around on google i'd say, there are plenty of services aimed at helping businesses set up an ICO |

Venture capital invests in the real sector of the economy at the crypto-currency market.
The total investment from venture investors in ICO is already about $ 4 billion. Compared with the capitalization of the crypto-currency market, this is not much, but something else is interesting: for the first half of 2018, the amount of money invested in ICO is equal to the amount invested in past years combined. And this is in biggest ever drop in the value of the crypto currencies.
A significant part of the money of venture investors is invested in the ICO from the real sector of the economy. Crowdfunding and IPO are so regulated and expensive for start-ups, that by the time of their launch, most of the profits are spent on legal expenses, launching and promoting the company.
ICO is in the initial stage of formation and while it is sufficiently loyal and not expensive, therefore, to venture investors and enterprises from the real economy sector, the crypto platform has become a more comfortable place for concluding investment deals. Unlike virtual crypto projects, the real economy segment is understandable and predictable - here are the same rules as for IPO formation, but preparing the necessary documentation is much cheaper for the company's shares to enter crypto exchange, then stock exchange.
Your opinion?
You'll probably see a lot more of that, as ICOs get more regulated and labeled a ''security'' your mom won't be able to buy these tokens/coins anymore and is strictly for VCs. Probably see more aidrops because of that aswell combined with equity deals from VCs. |

Don't you think EOS is to centralized for it to ever ''kill Ethereum''. From what i've seen so far its not a coin I'd like to hold when BPs can freeze my wallet or something.

The following is my personal opinion on recent events and is not to be intentionally or otherwise misrepresented as being an official statement. A link to the official statement is provided below. Synth recently posted a voice message that expressed some frustration by making a caricature of a team member and telegram room he is admin of. He was amused by the message, which is fair enough, given the harrowing experiences he and his wife had been recently subjected to. How does what amounts to an ironic observation on the current state of the crypto market get twisted into such strident accusations against the Skycoin team and its community? Is it because the Skycoin team does not hold to a traditional professional decorum? What even is the purpose of a traditional organization's professional decorum these days but to serve as a thin veneer of propriety covering the festering mass within? It has been spoken of in recent years, that we live in a "post truth" world. The very language used to describe this is in itself a suggestion that there is no accountability for falsehood, that objective reality is now irrelevant. Examination of this phenomenon ought to provoke a feeling of dread in the sane observer. The very survival of organisms through the process of natural selection relies on objective truth. The inability of a species to cope with this has historically led to extinction. This "post truth" acceptance paradigm is a symptom of the advanced stages of the disease that has taken hold of human society. The same disease that cryptocurrency, a manifestation of human hope and ingenuity, makes an attempt to heal. Bitcoin is but one exploration into alternatives to the primitive systems of human organization that have come to dominate this world. Our old systems rely on centralized power to exert influence on human actors by carrot and stick. Thus establishing a consensus. Over time such centralized organizations became progressively corrupt because the consensus mechanism has no power to influence those who control the carrot and the stick. The Skycoin project has and will always embody the ethos that brought Bitcoin into this world. However, it is understandable that Skycoin is misunderstood by many. The majority of those involved in cryptocurrency are absorbed with their desperate bid for financial gains. Their thinking is necessarily framed by the world they know and they are inundated with lies. A few facts about the situation: A large amount of SKY was stolen from the foundation. It was embezzled by rogue members of the Chinese marketing team. They were dumping the coins during the Binance trading competition. The remainder of their coins were frozen. They retaliated by kidnapping, beating, and threatening Synth and his wife. Additional security measures have been taken in response to the violence. The team remains focused on preventing Skycoin development and operations from being delayed. Official statement: https://www.skycoin.net/blog/statement/skycoin-team-status-update/I do wonder however, how are they able to freeze specific wallets when its decentralized? Their explenation was that they did a hardfork, but shouldn't this affect the entire chain? Not specific wallets of their choosing. However you want to explain it, they admitted to have control over other people's funds, so it is arguably not decentralized. I can't make a claim that what happened recently didn't happen and that it's all made up. But from what Synth and Sudo (telegram admin) say in Telegram, it doesn't add up. The story is contradicting. They also make harrowing claims of pump and dumping their own coin*. Maybe they are not the conventional team and sure its great when you can have an informal relationship, but I don't see anything funny about their jokes. The way the admins behave in Telegram public channels and their interaction with newbies is also very concerning. Their behaviour in my opinion is hard to rationalize and justify. *P.S. And the voice recording of Synth or Brandon is not the only piece of evidence for this. Also I think it's just weird in general to say something like this. Whether you're in a professional or informal relationship with community members. Skycoin is designed to have much better decentralization than other coins out there. The Obelisk consensus algorithm will be a big part of this, but as has been stated many times in the past, Obelisk is not yet running on mainnet. I will link a series of recent posts in this very thread that better explains the status of Obelisk. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=380441.msg34548627#msg34548627https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=380441.msg34571467#msg34571467https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=380441.msg34582440#msg34582440I would like to also remind you that practical decentralization is not an absolute. It is not understood how to achieve absolute decentralization as long as human beings rely on human development teams to engineer a project. According to the official statement, blacklisting was utilized instead of a hardfork. Although a non-contentious hardfork would "affect the entire chain" while at the same time going unnoticed by regular users. Funds on exchanges are believed to have been frozen as well, but that is entirely under the purview of said exchanges. Once Obelisk mainnet is active, it will not be possible to use this blacklisting method, and hardforks will depend on each individual node signalling consent. The world is full of people you may dislike, not agree with, or fail to share a sense of humor with. It is advised, rather than to seek control over the personalities of others, you excercise control over yourself. Newbies are not all created equal. The first thing one should learn to do when investing is to dyor. This does not mean to ask questions or read the opinions of others, it means to research on your own and experience the environment. The entire telegram chat history can be queried with the search function. Some are able to do this, some are not. Since every cryptocurrency in existence is at a very early stage of development, not much can be done on the noob friendliness front. It is much more effective to focus on development in a structured manner. Try to be the guy who makes their first post responding to a question with an accurate answer. That will earn you the respect of the admins and you will have a positive influence on the community. The voice message of Synth was posted in the very telegram room being referred to. It was formerly a public room where price discussion was allowed and was later made private to avoid it being overrun by newcomers. The subject of discussions in there were mostly just banter and memes with some price discussion. You can comb through the telegram and cherry pick all the "evidence" you wish and twist them into whatever story you want to make up. That is the norm these days. Skycoin is used to all the coordinated fud. Looking forward to whatever you guys come up with next. This is the irrational response I expected. I'm familiar with the conduct in the Telegram as I have been holding this coin for a good 8 months. This isn't cherrypicking, and this isn't just about disrespect towards newbies, I got banned aswell for asking questions and I've spoken to some people who experienced the same these past days. This isn't even FUD, a word of political correctness aimed to cover-up any criticism towards a project. To be quite frank, you're right I just read their official statement and it doesn't say anything of a hardfork, its now a ''temporary blacklist function''. This doesn't take away that Synth's story is complete contradiction from what he wrote in telegram also stating that that is an official statement. See my point? He constantly contradicts himself, same as his wife/girlfriend. One time its his wife, then his girlfriend and then he doesn't know because ''the papers are in Chinese and he can't read it''. So now I absolutely agree, I don't share his sense of humor, but when is he not joking and when is he joking, is there any telling or am I supposed to assume that everything is sarcasm? And if he keeps making these jokes and the price dumps, ''really funny man!?'' Is that something you want to deal with? Not to mention the fact that this could be strategic on his side to pump and dump the price for his own benefit. Do you even know who this man is? Are you aware of the image he has among the community of investors? He's unquestionable, it reeks. So either he's lying, or the CEO himself is a liablity towards the project because his ''jokes'' can cause heavy price dumps. Now if I put my money into this project and buy a skyminer, is this the type of behaviour I'm supposed to expect? I think your response is very strange, talking about doing my research and not being able to get along with everyone? If I have done my research correctly I'd say Synth is delusional and suffers from megalomania. The Skycoin telegram also affirms this with people cheering on everything he says and does, anyone who dares to ask a question or disagree gets banned. And as I said, it's not just the voice recording. After that ''joke'' he kept talking about dumping the price and pumping it back up, see pics from my first post. Shows total disregard and a lack of respect of the people who put their money into this project. He sees the consequences of his actions and refuses to change his conducts and then starts blaming it on Reddit calling them all types of names. I don't think you can label everything you don't agree with as FUD. I don't need to control Synths personality at all, but anyone who looks at this should recognize behaviour and thats simply what I'm doing. I see his behaviour and his statements and I can't fit this into a rational picture. Idk how long you've been in Skycoin but I dare to say that I've been with the project for quite a while now and am pretty familar with the manner of behaviour on Telegram. And if I can give you advice instead, I'd say you better be carefull, cause it reeks of Pump and dump.  ''We will bounce it back up again'' Another thing, for someone who's just been kidnapped he's awefully jolly, sorry but I find this all very weird. You are correct about Synth getting that detail wrong, assuming that the freezing was done with a hardfork. Normally, that is the method you would use under these circumstances. There apparently are advantages to using a temporary blacklisting function instead. Although it will be impossible to activate this function under a decentralized Obelisk consensus algorithm, such functionality is vital on Sky Fiber projects that are designed for permissioned blockchains. You are misrepresenting that small inaccuracy as being "Synth's story" in a spurious attempt to cast doubt on the actual story of his and his wife's kidnapping. Your comment about him being "awfully jolly" is uncalled for. Synth is also often difficult to understand, he seems to say whatever comes to mind. This personality quirk of his is admittedly inconvenient for Skycoin at times. But you are being incredibly obtuse to ignore the experiences Synth and his wife have gone through over the past week. I can tell you that his wife is hysterical over being kidnapped and beaten. I also suspect that Synth is a bit shaken up by the experience as well. It is normal for people to fixate on price and Skycoin has suffered an incredible price dip recently. You insist that Synth is personally responsible for this price dip, while willfully ignoring all the evidence at hand. This includes the dates of price action, getting listed on Binance, Binance competition effect on volatility, discovery of the dumping of embezzled SKY, and the proven observation that short term price action is caused by external factors while long term price action is the result of hard fundamentals. It is only natural that those who have been conducting their coordinated FUD campaign will take advantage of this opportunity to reinvigorate their efforts. It has been proven that Skycoin is the subject of a long term coordinated FUD campaign. This is likely being paid for by projects that see themselves as competitors though lacking in fundamentals. Many crypto projects these days are so starving for developers that they take investor funds and spend the majority of it on marketing and FUD. The project becomes only about short term price action, and this is what reeks of pump and dump. Please think again about my "strange" comment about the Skycoin community. You claim to have been a member of the Skycoin community for a long time but you talk like a stranger. You talk about projects or people getting paid to FUD Skycoin, you must be oblivious to the attacks Synth orchestrates against other projects like HOLO and Substratum? And excuse me, but so far no evidence has been produced, it's just words and they are all contradicting.   All of the screenshots I've shown so far are from june 18th. I really don't want to debate this any further though, I don't think this much of a debate anyway, you're just the average crypto-investor, screaming FUD at everything. So far you also haven't produced any evidence, telling me I'm ignoring it. Meanwhile I got tons of screenshots from statements made directly by Synth that should leave anyone questioning his integrity. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2621786.0 << here you go a thread that I made on Bitcointalk about Skycoin on December 20th last year. Maybe you should reflect back on what you wrote, cause if I sound like a stranger, then you probably haven't heard anyone's opinion outside of that telegram. |

I took a loss and sold. This is all just too much for me. Lots of good projects out there. Don't have time for all this.
Yes I did to, I'm going to leave it at that. I said everything I needed to say. |

  People will say that: ''Oh he's just joking, he's being sarcastic, that's his sense of humor.'' But this doesn't seem so funny to me, I was invested in Skycoin and I lost pretty bad on this recent drop. But reading stuff like this makes me wonder if next week he's going to come out and say the kidnapping never happened and that it was some kind marketing ploy. I can't tell when that guy is joking or not, nor do I think his ''jokes'' are very funny. I sold, cause I worry that the guy isn't joking around at all. In my opinion, if you're reading these statements and still support the man, then I want to ask you stop for a moment and reflect, see if this is rational behaviour for a CEO/Founder of a project in a telegram with over 10k people most of whom just got invested with the project. Even if the tech is supposedly better than any other cryptoproject, I can't imagine anyone will want to do business with Brandon Smietana, who insists people call him Synth. |

Yes but I think it will take a little more than a token to do so. I personally think crypto will accelerate green energy adoption in the long run but to actually make a P2P energy economy possible you need infrastructure.

I don't think it will pump, I can be wrong though but although this is pretty cool it's not super significant (yet). Crypto projects partnering with eachother is nice to see but it doesn't drive any kind of adoption with it as opposed to potential partnerships with non-blockchain companies.

Your English rather poor and I can't really make sense of it. But if you suspect this email to be impersonating Bittrex then just notify Bittrex of this and delete it. Don't open any of the links.

Interesting, I will check it out. But you should ask yourself how they are able to achieve this, Ethereum can do a lot more tps aswell but doesn't because it means sacrificing other features of the ecosystem such as security. So i'd do my due dilligence.

People on this forum are way to obsessed about merit if you ask me. Still not sure what merit even is, and at this point I really don't care anymore. Does it get me preferential treatment with the admins?

First, your post is posted in the wrong section.
Second, most ICO projects are just hype, which is why countries are adopting laws to restrict ICO.
And IPOs are not? Its the exact same principle. Been scammed myself once on an ICO but after that, never again. It isn't hard to differentiate the scams from the legit and the winners from the losers, its really simple but people who come into this space have absolutely no clue what they are doing and buy anything with the word blockchain in it. And his post is not posted in the wrong section, it is not an accusation. |

I know that most of us are working on most signature campaigns. We are dealing with this for weeks or even months. but since the project was not able to make a soft cap, nothing can pass. investments of investors are being returned but what are our efforts? I think projects that cannot do some soft cap are paying a minimum of Eth for those who participate in bounty programs.
I really don't think you can complain, if you're doing a bounty signature you're basically getting paid for posting on a forum. I've had some campagnes not succeed that I did translations for and it sucks when the time you put in doesn't pay off, but I really don't think this is a demanding job and that bounty hunters should get any type of compensation if the ICO doesn't meet the goals. I personally would not demand any compensation, nor do I expect one, nor would I compensate bounty hunters if I was running the ICO myself. Actually the campagnes that do succeed often pay pretty well and sometimes that pay also compensates for time invested in failed projects. I really see no reason why a bounty hunter should be compensated when an ICO doesn't perform. And even then, you know what you're getting into and should expect some of your bounties to fail. |

I do bounty campagnes of ICOs i'm personally going to invest in. I don't want to sport a signature of something I can't personally get onboard with. I see it as a good way to earn some extra coins/tokens and also help the project get the attention they need for their fundraiser. So my advice would be to do something similar, look for a project you personally think can achieve its goals, if you don't believe in it, then you might want to refrain from participating as you get paid only if the ICO succeeds.

from $600 to $500 and going down every day is there a possibility that Eth will reach $200 this year? is there really a price manipulation like the conspiracy about tether what do you guys think?
Yeah its certainly possible, you got to remember that Ethereum is very young especially compared to Bitcoin. BTC also rose to 1k before dropping 90%, so its certainly a possibility. |
