Masternode coins and DEX will be great investment to accumulate in 2019 BTC bearmarket.

didn’t it seem strange to anyone that the announcement of the launch was on November 2 and that there were a lot of master nodes on the network? Where did they come from?) Roll Eyes Cool

Core team has 3 masternodes online to keep the network stable, thats all....would like to know what "alot of masternodes" means to you Cool

10 masternodes now

Hi, @Betking Support,

Can you please look into it?

Kind regards

Thing is Tonych works very hard compared to most devs and is of course smarter than 99% of other devs too.

Needs to  be more of a team player than lone wolf. Community and trust is important to gain the network effect that is lacking here.


And what are you basing this opinion on? Do you have first hand experience working with Tony or you just like to speculate and talk how things should be?

My experience as developer has been totally different with Tony. Never considered him as lone wolf and he delegates lot of work to other people, even when it seems like he is doing everything.

Also, never felt that he doesn't trust people, so I don't get where you get this from. I guess trust is a two-way street, after a while you give up explaining why some things are the way they are (12 non-anonymous witnesses), especially when some of the stuff argued here are documented multiple times over and over.

There are plenty of people with their own opinion how things should be in cryptoverse. None of the projects need people like that, only people who make things happening are needed.


There should be no trust, that's the core element of crypto.

Imo 2019 will still be bearish, good to buy bitcoin.

If miners were in charge really wanted big blocks , we would have big blocks right now.

^^^FTFY

Do we have big blocks? No, the miners listen to the sentiment of the community and core, as they should.

You are right about incentives.  But there is something else.  PoW mining is an economic activity.  You have capex, you have opex, almost all your profits are burned in your huge costs, and you have to care about efficiency in order to stay in the game.  And in any economic activity, you have economy of scale.  As your mining farm gets bigger, it becomes more efficient and stands better against the competition.  You get volume discounts for miners, you will be the first in line for the new generation of miners, you can get cheaper electricity when you buy wholesale, it becomes worthwhile to relocate to a more favorable location, and you can hire the best talent in the industry.  It doesn't matter if the PoW algorithm is ASICable or not, the economy of scale is universal.  It might be not very important in the growing market when everyone, even a smaller and weaker miner, gets a portion of the growing pie, but nothing lasts forever and as the market matures and gets more competitive, the weaker players are darwinized, and the hash power gets concentrated in the hands of a few bigger miners.  Miners, not mining pools.  This looks like an end-game of any PoW based blockchain, because it has a heavy "hook" into the economy, and the economy favors scale.  You can call it emergent centralization.  Incidentally, Byteball moves in the opposite direction.

Bitcoin is not run by miners, it's run by a community. (If miners were in charge, we would have big blocks right now.)
This in the beauty and strength of bitcoin. It is multi-leveled, > full nodes, miners, devs and community all able to check each other and keeping each other honest.

I like byteball as a concept but critisism must be taken seriously if you want to improve.
Imo, not being able to run a Byteball full node on a desktop computer is a massive problem.

but it will not be nr1 forever.

Bitcoin will always be nr 1.

It's just impossible to download a full node, same problem as Ethereum.

On chain scaling has been proved to be impossible. ^

This shows why we need small blocks and a second layer for scaling.

unlike ethereum byteball has no blocks

Sure, but it still has a chain of transactions which has become so massive that a full node can't be downloaded on a desktop computer.

it depends on your connection speed, I think most full nodes use remote servers

Actually, it mainly depends on your drive. Even with a fiber optic internet connection, if you don't have an SSD, then syncing just gets insanely slow at some point. If you want a full node, you must use an SSD.
so basically byterbak get rid of blocks and get relativity fast, cheap transactions and finality in exchange for decentralization and ddos resistance? Is this worth it?

Requiring an SSD isn't really sacrificing decentralization; having one dude run all twelve validating nodes is though. And having one dude hand pick a replacement for four of them isn't solving the issue.

This ^.

It is listed in TradeSatoshi. Is that still valid?

yes, but you can also trade it at crex24.

Is this the new official website: https://bitcoinincognito.org/ ?

I'm only asking because the website listed as official is this: https://bitcoinincognito.com/ and the wallet it has available is an older version.

The newer .org website was found on discord but I won't trust it until I know it's the real deal.

Thanks in advance.

Ethereum is a blockchain 2.0 it has smart contracts, TKK he is not just a payment tool but as a platform


POWH and Fomo3D are on Ethereum! Check it out, these are 3.0 applications on the 2.0 blockchain!  Cool
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is the best Cryptocurrency to invest 2018? on: August 02, 2018, 06:31:15 PM
If you are a risk taker:

POWH

Fomo3D


Timing is crucial!

Price is just not reflecting the solid tech behind this project.

It's so funny.  Everyone is so hyped up dumping money into EOS which "will have delegated BFT" meanwhile semux already has delegated BFT running live right now!

Yeah, and I even think it will be less then 10 delegates, not so decentralized imo.
