Can I ask a newbie question - what is Directed acyclic graph and why is it superior to Blockchain technology?

Thanks!

Thank you all so much, I’m grateful you took the time to help a newbie like me - I am glad I posted and have gained some useful insights already; lots more to learn! 

Good luck to all!

[/quote]You're a newbie and i will not suggest you do a lot of research about that but you can try to follow the social media group, here's my hint about to find the best ico, the majority of the best ico will reach a lot of demand. That means if you are seeing the ico with a lot of people in social media group and then it has reflected the hype of the ico itself.

Thank you Psynthax - where can I find more about ICOs?

As a newbie investor/ speculator in alts, I am keen to learn from the collective wisdom of the forum - what do you look for in a project that makes it a good one to back with some money? There’s so many out there and I fear many may be scams or not truly decentralised projects.

Thank you all for your help!

Really excited for Ardor in 2018 - happy new year all!!

2018 may be the year when the masses pile into BTC, before diversifying into other, newer-tech ones..

Thank you for the opportunity -please provide more info on how to participate.

Many thanks!
