21  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Just heard of Bitcoin, teach me. on: January 01, 2019, 03:44:23 PM
So about 10 minutes ago, i googled "How to earn money online for students?" and almost half of the contents was all about Bitcoin. i really want to earn money because im saving up for my college and i think bitcoin would help me, my problem now is.. i dont know how/where to start. can you guys help me out?  Undecided


try to understand how bitcoin works. After you understand how bitcoin works, think of building an app for it that is unique and can get sticky to the people. By doing this, your investment is just the time invested to build the app, and you will get some coins. Another way to become a millionaire is to do an ICO. Good luck

hi guys . i want to know is the bitech-mining.com website reliable for buying asic miner ?! has anyone bought from this website ever ?! (thanks in advance)








most of the ASIC manufacturers usually they produce asic devices, they use them for at least a couple of months and when it starts to become obsolete they start to dump both the coins and the asic miners. So, I don't think buying asics it is really profitable nowadays

How proficient and effective can the usage of cryptocurrencies be in the next decade?

At the moment, I believe that fintech solutions like credit cards and cash money is a quite good solution for the average Joe in the United States who is interested to buy a coffee. I don't think bitcoin will ever take over the world mostly because fintech adapted itself to bring better solutions.

Just read this article, a nice piece about Bitcoin scams with an example - http://cryptofinance24.com/how-not-to-scam-people-p428-171.htm
The example story about one scam there is just hilarious. The scam is so bad, but people still fall for it  Huh Huh Huh

So, have you ever got scammed, or know some good stories to share with others to help them learn from others mistakes?

Yes, I did get scammed buying tokens during ICOs. I didn't think it would end this way. I invested into a few coins including Nimiq and I am with -90% with my initial investment. It is doing really bad especially because the team received all the funds and they just laundering the money for themselves. So, guys don't invest into ICOs

I recommend you to use MacOS or Linux. Try to avoid from Windows operating systems as there are many viruses targeting windows users
26  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Future of cryptocurrency on: January 01, 2019, 03:35:45 PM
At the moment the fintech and cash money offer some better solutions in terms of speed and privacy for most of the people. Probably this is the reason why bitcoin didn't take over the world
27  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Get to know Bitcoin like a beginner on: January 01, 2019, 03:32:03 PM
Bitcoin is simply a distributed database across many computers. It uses a some math to ensure security on the calculations of this database.
28  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is ICO actually? on: January 01, 2019, 03:30:38 PM
most of the ICOs are scams where the founders create coins out of thin air and sell all of the to customers.
29  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The world is going digital on: January 01, 2019, 03:28:46 PM
At the moment, the financial system has improved itself and at the moment credit cards are way better than bitcoin. The only feature that banks and CC don't offer is is volatility which can make some people to gain a lot, and others to lose a lot
30  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Most Promising Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2019 on: January 01, 2019, 03:00:02 PM
At least for me, 2019 doesn't look like a great year to invest. There is some fear that a global financial turmoil can happen this year or next year.
31  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbie should trade or not? Please give me idea. on: January 01, 2019, 02:58:22 PM
I recommend to newbies to use a simulator before trading with real money. You should play at least a couple of weeks on these simulators with simulated money to feel the market and see the risks that you could also lose a lot money.
32  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The Fate of ICOs. on: January 01, 2019, 02:56:14 PM
the truth is that most ICOs will get bankrupt and it will be a new internet bubble but for ICOs
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / nimiq is mined using solo GPU rigs on: January 01, 2019, 02:54:01 PM
NIMIQ is mined with GPU rigs and SkyPool (one pool) dominates 73% of the network. Philpool was closed last night  Embarrassed

the hashrate distribution looks more and more like a coin that will die in 2019
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / NIM will 100% FAIL on: December 31, 2018, 01:53:49 PM
Why Nimiq will 100% fail? The truth that is never told.

1. The team raised 12 million dollars during the ICO. That investment is -90% for all ICO investors.
2. They raised 12 million dollars, while the project market cap is only 2 million dollars, but instead they bought a 1.2 million dollar villa in Costa Rica. I didn't know that a villa in Costa Rica is more expensive than a villa in Las Vegas.
3. In one year for launching the project, they spent nearly 5 million dollars without doing any marketing. Pretty much they wash ICO money, steady, but surely. Doing marketing will burn all the money.
4. They spent so much money on developers, while the developers best app is Nimipet a fucking joker game with 100 users daily.
5. At the moment, the burning rate according to their previous report before starting the marketing is 250,000 dollars per month.
6. A mining pool was closed due to financial troubles aka Philpool. Another mining pool is set to be closed tonight.
7. Robin (main guy) and founder of the project left the project about 7 months ago.
8. They keep lying that Robin is doing a secret top notch research, while he left the project.
9. The community is full of bots to make us believe that the community telegram is growing.
10. They use a trading bot to create fake volumes and set the market cap at fixed 2 million dollar.
11. Nimiq REAL VOLUME is less than ~ 10,000 dollars, the rest of it is FAKE VOLUME generated by trading bots.
12. They paid shillers like Shay, the guy from Twitter to shill the shit out of nimiq.
13. Except 30 people, the rest of the community left the project definitely with huge loses.
14. CPU mining only, while people started mining using GPU rigs for months!!!
15. With their current stats they will become bankrupt. It will be exactly an "internet bubble" company and all nims will go to dust! They just need to press the killswitch
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / GPU mining a CPU only coin on: December 31, 2018, 01:34:53 AM
another fail of nimiq "great tech". The nimiq was and mined by some time with GPU while there is support only for CPU. Here is some benchmark from some users.

1x RTX 2080 = 370KH/s
1x GTX 1080 = 222KH/s
1x GTX 1080TI = 332 kH/s
1x R9 290 = 200kH/s
1x GTX 1070 TI = 184KH/s

RTX 2080 Ti  ~510 kH/s
Titan XP - 400 kH/s
Titan V - 540 kH/s
Tesla P100  - 470 kHs
Tesla V100 - 740 kH/s
GTX 1060 3Gb - ~140kH/s
GTX 1060 6Gb - ~160

here is proof of the GPU miners who are mining this CPU only coin. Total fail



it'd only take around 400-500 webminers to compete with a single GPU


Can you explain about Nano and Nimiq?

He is talking about ledger not the Nano blockchain
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: nimiq will die just like NET on: December 30, 2018, 03:30:44 PM

About NET end-of-life, we kept the activation process open far beyond its original schedule and even extended its grace period. You can learn more about it on this blog post: https://medium.com/nimiq-network/and-then-there-was-only-nim-962f43a53aad


I was talking about a kill switch. Like you killed NET, after you become bankrupt you will kill as well the NIM website, seed nodes and the entire network will become offline.


And about developers interested in the project, you just have to join the community to see how engaged and interested community developers are. You actually seem to be pretty interested in the project too  Wink


Oh boy. After investing in the ICO and having my investment -90%, I AM NOT INTERESTED INTO THIS SHITCOIN. I took my loses and I moved on.
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / nimiq will die just like NET on: December 30, 2018, 02:42:12 PM
Yea sure. Thanks for comparing Bitcoin. Here is some statistics where anybody can see that nimiq is a dead project. No real developers are interested in this project, although they spend 2 million dollar to develop the software paying developers. Nimiq will die just like NET Nimiq Exchange Token. When they press the kill switch, NIM will go to dust. Just like when they pressed the kill switch on NET



Just be real, developers are not interested in this project. Nobody cares about this project and it doesn't have any impact on the crypto ecosystem.  There is no potential in nimiq. Eventually it will die.
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Project Literally DEAD on: December 30, 2018, 01:56:30 PM


Look at the screenshot and you can see that all repositories are almost dead from this project. No "community" commits

I guess you "just forgot" (you wouldn't do that deliberately, because then you would be the liar, right?) to take a screenshot of the https://github.com/nimiq GitHub organization that contains all the new code...

Still most of the repositories look dead and inactive from 54 repositories only 6 repositories look maintained last 30 days These are the facts. Don't dream what you want to dream. The community is doing a shit about this project.
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Project Literally DEAD on: December 30, 2018, 01:33:09 PM
The project is literally dead, and it will become bankrupt next year. You are saying that the code is being developed and a lot of new commits are coming. Robin is doing a neat secret research that nobody knows about, not even you. These are just lies This is a screenshot from github https://github.com/nimiq-network The community is not doing almost anything, and after the nimiq ico will get bankrupt nobody will ever continue the project, and the expensive nimiq seed servers that cost about 10,000 dollars per month, will be closed and the network will shut down for ever.   Angry



Look at the screenshot and you can see that all repositories are almost dead from this project. No "community" commits
40  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / nobody cares about this project on: December 29, 2018, 11:55:32 PM
Definitely nobody will continue this project after it burns out all the money worth of 12 million dollars. All the ICO and all coins will go to dust.

You can only speak about you and not about everyone. I am here for the project and from what I can see in the Discord, there are quiet some others that do the same. Cryptocurrency projects can work without any funding - in fact Bitcoin development worked without funding for years.

Get real! Don't dream what you want to dream. The community did not do a god damn thing about the code. The protocol was development using 3 million dollars in funds by them. They did so well that Robin (main guy and developer as well) has left the project. They published in their report that they spend over 250,000 USD every month investing in coding, marketing and communities. The money they invest is the reason why there is some noise in the community. Otherwise nobody gives a cent about this project. Look at the github Except the team who was well paid with millions and millions of dollars (last year they spent 2-3 million dollars to write code), nobody else contributed in a significant way.
