21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: EOS - GO decision for Launch on: June 09, 2018, 10:27:32 AM
New EOS update

Information was also discernible about the role of the company behind EOS.

While Block.One committed to a diminished role in the EOS launch, and to refrain from voting on proceedings with its tokens, founder and CTO Dan Larimer showed up on the EMLG call to answer questions.

He noted Block.One plans to publish an update very soon, bringing the EOS software to version 1.0.2. This was described as a soft update, dealing with issues such as bugs in the whitelist and blacklists for smart contracts. Multiple block producers said that soft updates should have no impact on the protocol in production and in fact it wouldn't matter if some ran on 1.0.1 and others ran on 1.0.2.

But the announcement appeared to engender uncertainty, which Rose confirmed multiple times on EOS NY's Telegram channel.

In a statement also shared on that channel, a block producer candidate wrote it had voted "no-go" because its team had found errors with account creation and transfer finality. CoinDesk was not able to authentic these statements.

One group within the EMLG has expressed caution throughout, and the block producer candidate out of Hong Kong, HKEOS, was one of its first members.

That group's Twitter feed affirmed its "no go" vote last night, writing:

    "This is short-term pain, for long-term gain."

It's normal that there will be ups and downs, but i think we still have a long way to go if we want to get some good profit.
23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Airdrops and Bounties useful? on: June 09, 2018, 10:12:05 AM
Airdrops and Bounties are useful because this is a way of growing your community or followers. Bounties are formed of advertisement of a certain coin for their ICO's. Its like paying a huge number of person to advertise your incoming ICO's

Encourage others to research the crypto market and the technology behind it.  As for investing, once they are educated let them make their own decision
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: is bountyhive safe for doing bounties ? on: June 02, 2018, 07:53:33 AM
I also joined the site and doing all is campaigns .  But I think the problem is there is no spreadsheet in this site, there should be spreadsheet to observe your weekly work and check that we are going right way or not.
26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do we need to diversify? on: June 02, 2018, 07:50:10 AM
I think if you want to reduce your risk , you have to spread your investment on different coins.   So no matter how good the project is , I will never put my whole investment on it
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Be patient for your profit on: June 02, 2018, 07:47:40 AM
It seems to me that we need to wait for the stabilization of the market and the price increase. Unfortunately, the market is recovering very slowly. But we need to have patience, because it will bring profit.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Do you believe in ICO Ratings? on: June 02, 2018, 07:43:37 AM
If the ratings and comments from the expert reviews are consistently good or bad, it could be an indicator of the validity of the project.  Reading for yourself is good on top of the review sites.
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is crypto industry dangerous ? on: June 02, 2018, 07:24:33 AM
Investments here are just open to so many alleys and factors that could make you lose your capital, which is primarily the reason why it is risky.
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why people want ETH to over come BTC on: June 02, 2018, 07:16:43 AM
Ethereum is still away to go as high as bitcoin. But one day ethereum will be number one because from a technological perspective, it is far more superior.
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My opinion about ETH on: June 02, 2018, 07:14:56 AM
Ethereum is  showing a good   progress now,  it still can't   equal bitcoin.  Ethereum is still away to go as high as bitcoin. But one day ethereum will be number one because from a technological perspective, it is far more superior.
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin or litecoin ? on: May 27, 2018, 04:44:10 AM
Litecoin has the potential, it has a professional development team and every day it has a large trading volume. However, I think it is best to invest in Bitcoin.  I believe that in the next few years Bitcoin will grow strongly and have a very high value.
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what's your reason joining here in crypto? on: May 27, 2018, 04:37:51 AM
 I am here because I want to both gain knowledge about cryptocurrency and to earn as well.  Through this forum, I have the opportunity to both increase my knowledge and share my knowledge regarding cryptocurrency.  It also give me an avenue to earn free tokens through joining bounty campaign.
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH or Waves? on: May 25, 2018, 05:15:59 AM
These coins are good coins to invest, Etherium comes second to bitcoin and creat great intrest of investors and many investors get return great and attract from Ethereum.
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you truly believe in cryptocurrency on: May 25, 2018, 05:12:49 AM
I believe in the power of cryptocurrency especially bitcoin. It has proved itself to be worthy of trust so now people trust it and continue to use it.
 You should not just invest in projects that you like because you might regret it, what I am saying is that you need to investigate first about the projects and see if it is reliable
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you sell right away or wait? on: May 25, 2018, 05:08:36 AM
Often a project needs some time to develop code and collaborate with its partners. So in the long run need patience. There are still a lot of fraudulent schemes and it's bad, the tokens become worthless after being traded.
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Am I late to the party? on: May 25, 2018, 05:03:15 AM
Crypto is just like any other asset class. When we take a long enough view, all of the good projects will rise. Invest in the safer projects and avoid the shitcoins.
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Token bounty must hold or sell? on: May 25, 2018, 04:59:40 AM
If the token that you received in a bounty campaign have a very big opportunity to rise in the coming months or years it is better to hold your tokens and the right time. If that coin have a less opportunity to grow for coming days or months it is better to sell that tokens when the price are high
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 1 ETH - should buy alt or hold on to it on: May 25, 2018, 04:14:38 AM
Decide what percentage of that 1 ETH you are willing to give up and then invest that percentage in an altcoin of your choice and hold on to the remaining ethereum

 A new form of cryptominer has been discovered which crashes systems the moment antivirus products attempt to remove the malware.

The malware, dubbed WinstarNssmMiner by 360 Total Security researchers, has been used in half a million attempted attacks leveraged at PCs in only three days.

On Wednesday, the cybersecurity firm said the cryptomining malware aims to infect PCs in order to steal processing power for the purpose of mining the Monero cryptocurrency.

WinstarNssmMiner is brutal code as it will crash victim PCs the moment antivirus products detect and attempt to remove it.

The cryptominer launches the svchost.exe process -- used to manage system services -- and injects malicious code into the file. One injected process begins mining cryptocurrency while the other runs in the background to avoid detection and scan for antivirus protection.

In the second stage, WinstarNssmMiner then tampers with CriticalProcess, adding a process attribute which allows the malware to crash the system at whim.

However, the malware is a coward at heart. As 360 Total Security writes, WinstarNssmMiner "turns off antivirus protection of defenseless foes and backs off when facing sharp swords."

The malware scans compromised systems for antivirus products. Any "decent" solutions offered by reputable companies -- such as Kaspersky Lab and Avast -- and will quit automatically if these types of antivirus products are discovered.

However, if weaker antivirus systems are in use, the crash process starts up and victims have to live with crippling slowness and blue screens while the malware cheerfully steals their power and mines Monero on the attacker's behalf.

"Due to the nature of digital currency mining, cryptominers use up victims' processing power for the sake of their distributors," the researchers note. "Some savvy users are able to identify and terminate the CPU consuming applications. Hence, WinstarNssmMiner protects itself by configuring its mining processes' attribute to CriticalProcess so infected computers crash when users terminate it."

Four mining pools have been linked to the malware at present. At the time of writing, the threat actors behind the spread of WinstarNssmMiner have mined 133 Monero, which is equivalent to roughly $26,500.
