22  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top 100 coin BUT only on TWO exchanges?! on: November 17, 2018, 06:05:59 PM
I also heard about this coin and many say that this project is very promising. will need to buy

same. they're even hosting a webinar to talk about their first dapp on their blockchain and thats going out today - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/moac-online-community-webinar-tickets-52437306395?aff=erelexpmlt

and I think this is with the CEO so maybe it's a good chance to talk to him and ask questions

Great project with lots of potential. Thanks for sharing  Cheesy
Who like it-personally, I did not see the potential.
Explain.
First- inconvenient wallet.It was possible to make at least a web wallet?
Second - no bidding.
The third -is designed for a limited number of people.
Uncomfortable platform.
I was unimpressed.

I would give them some time. I'm surprised they even launched mainnet when they did. The fact that a company can run an ico and then launch mainnet within a year is insane. I also think it's good to give the team feedback if you're using their product

true and I agree. I'm actually tuning into their webinar today at like 3pm pst - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/moac-online-community-webinar-tickets-52437306395?aff=erelexpmlt

Great video by Crypto Gurus talking about Havven the stablecoin project: https://youtu.be/te_-iY3uW88

What do you guys think about stablecoins?
26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Battle of the stablecoins on: May 14, 2018, 09:38:08 PM
havven all the way  Smiley

best stablecoin project that still raised $30M in a bearish market. pretty remarkable if you ask me

can someone link me to their telegram group??

how does the system work exactly?
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: havven rolls out eUSD on mainnet on: May 14, 2018, 09:35:44 PM
I'm just sitting here HODLing and waiting for nUSD to launch. I love what havven is doing with their project. they have over 70,000 wallets with HAV while tether/maker have a couple hundred/thousands
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain will tear through the ad market like a tornado on: May 14, 2018, 09:33:32 PM
Interesting read. Other than privacy and IoT, yes, I think advertising is next. The new wave of micro-rewards to consumers for their attention is fascinating. I heard of algebraix but have to look more into them.
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: World's first online store to only accept stablecoins as payment on: May 14, 2018, 09:24:54 PM
I would want to see more ecommerce stores along with local establishments around the world accept cryptocurrency as a mode of payment because only a select few offers it because of volatility and transaction fees. I believe the this is the next crucial step that we need to make in order to make innovations and stabilize the prices of crypto.

have you looked into the CEO of havven? He also owns blushyft: https://www.blueshyft.com.au/

I think that's a good indicator for adoption of havven. thoughts?
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Why blockchain is so revolutionary on: May 14, 2018, 09:21:54 PM
Found this great read explaining blockchain in really easy terms. Great for people trying to understand blockchain and its implications.

Article: https://medium.com/coinmonks/why-is-the-blockchain-so-revolutionary-explain-like-im-5-be3f6771f64c

Thoughts? I'll copy and paste it here:

So why is the blockchain so revolutionary?
Start with “people can’t be trusted.” Assume you are completely paranoid —if-they-can-screw-me-over-they-will.” Imagine you are blindingly intelligent. Invent a data storage technology that’s invulnerable, like Achilles with a pair of steel boots. Call yourself Satoshi Nakamoto. Call your invention a blockchain.

So who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
Sorry. I cannot tell you that. If I did someone would kill me.

OK. That’s annoying. So what is a blockchain?
Let’s start with the fact that databases usually store data in blocks of data. They’ve done that since God was a boy. They wait until they have lots of records to write — a block full — then they write them all in one block. It is more efficient that way.

So what is the ‘chain’ part?
When you store records in a blockchain, it chains all the blocks together without you even having to ask.

So what? Why would I care?
You wouldn’t if you didn’t care about security. You see the blockchain chains the blocks together with a hash and that makes them secure.

I have no idea what a hash is. You lost me right there.
It’s mathematical. I will not give you the detail. You’ll come after me with a baseball bat if I introduce any more terms and start writing math formulae. Nevertheless, it is possible to take a big block of data and “hash it.” and it gives you an impossible-to-forge fingerprint of the data. Every time a new block is created, it is stored with the hash of the previous block. It means that the previous block is locked, kinda frozen in time and order.

OK, so a supremely boring mathematical fingerprint locks the order of the blocks. Why should I care?
It means that no-one can ever forge a block. The values are locked in an impenetrable steel vault that is every bit as strong as the boots Achilles should have worn if he was going to survive the Trojan War.

Wait a minute you’re talking about computer data. You can lose that. You can overwrite that. What makes blockchain data so invulnerable?
Well, I didn’t mention it before, but since you’ve asked the right question — it’s invulnerable because it is distributed. There isn’t just one copy of the blockchain there are hundreds of copies of it. There could be thousands. If you wanted to mess with the value of any record in a block of data, you would have to change all the copies. And even then you could only mess with the latest block. The rest of them are locked in solid steel by the hash value.

You’re kidding me. What kind of dumbass system has thousands of copies of the same data?
One that wants to ensure that the data is never abused.

But where do you keep these hundreds of thousands of dumbass blockchain copies?

On many different servers across the Internet and the world.


But which, out of all those, is the real blockchain?

They all are. They all have equal validity.
There is a massive advantage to this. If one of those servers disappears, it doesn’t matter. If all the servers in a whole country disappear, it doesn’t matter. The system is resilient to the failure of even hundreds of these blockchain servers.

OK, but hold on, who is paying for this vast array of servers? The government? Gimme a break?
No. Not the government.

Independent freedom-loving computer nerds. There’s a scheme to incentivize people to provide this computer resource, but actually, there are different schemes.

Damn it; now I’m going to have to talk about many other things,

… of shoes and ships and sealing wax, and cabbages and kings, and mining pools and forking chains, and whether pig have wings.

But maybe I should focus first on blockchain attacks.

I’ll leave all of that for some other blog post.

But you never explained why the blockchain is so revolutionary. It just seems complicated to me, that’s all.
OK, I’ll catch that question again next time. For now, remember that the blockchain consists of blocks chained together and distributed across many servers.

buy all of the havven you can. plus when nUSD launched on june 11th it's going to be crazy. already lots of buzz about them lately
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is facebook creating their own crypto? on: May 14, 2018, 09:18:29 PM
wouldn't be surprised if they did, but I wouldn't trust it lol.

algebraix looks interesting. I heard about them awhile back. what's their telegram??

I'm looking forward for the nomins, when it could be eventually? What social media should I watch the most for the news?

follow them on twitter and join their telegram. those are the first places they post news. looks like nUSD is launching june 11  Grin

guys what was the big announcement??

that they're going to have a desktop version of the app. I think that's better than an app since everyone has access to a computer vs a smartphone
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHICH OF THESE STABLECOINS WILL MOST LIKELY BE THE FUTURE OF CRYPTO PAYMENTS? on: May 14, 2018, 09:14:38 PM
Havven is the best one out of the whole group. Dual token system, decentralized, and reliable. Also the team is great along with their communication. Over 68k in the telegram too. https://t.me/havven_official1
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shill me your best coin in 5 words on: May 14, 2018, 09:12:08 PM

38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Rival to IOTA on: March 22, 2018, 11:32:54 PM
IoT chain announced that they recently launched their yellowpaper on Github. They are known as the IOTA of china. What do you guys think of their tech??

yellowpaper - https://github.com/IoTChainCode/Documents/blob/master/ITC_YELLOW_PAPER_DRAFT.pdf

cmc - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/iot-chain/
IoT and IOTA is the best new crypto coin! I think! It's like ETH and NEO! You can invest or not! But carefully!

yes itc is so underrated and their tech is better than IOTA. I can't wait until their mainnet release this year
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Rival to IOTA on: March 22, 2018, 11:11:47 PM
I see a big future for itc. It is a hodl coin for sure. perfect time to buy some
40  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Havven ICO raised more than Power Ledger - $30 million?! on: March 22, 2018, 11:07:35 PM
What exchanges are they going to list on? Will it be in the nearest future? Will be looking for this coin. What do they mean that they will be stable and how it will make the profit for investors if it will be stable?

I think they're currently on a couple like etherdelta and idex. I'm probably missing a few. Here is the best explanation I've found about their dual token system and how it works.

Quote
Havven is a decentralised payment network and stablecoin designed to enable everyday cryptocurrency purchases.

The Havven platform uses two tokens to achieve stability. The havven token provides the collateral for the platform. Nomin tokens, a stablecoin, are issued against the value of the collateral token. This dual token approach incentivises users to hold havven tokens because network transaction fees are paid to havven holders. As more people use nomins for everyday transactions, the value of havven tokens will increase due to the higher fees generated.

Havven is a totally decentralised stablecoin, which means that, like bitcoin, it is secure and resistant to censorship. However, in contrast to Bitcoin, Havven uses a decentralised asset to reduce price volatility. The asset backing for the stablecoin comes from transaction fees generated by the Havven network. This means the asset is distributed and cannot be lost, stolen or seized.
