21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: Being able to both do sports and earn money with the blockchain on: March 12, 2022, 06:20:47 PM
It is a very noble cause that you are trying to do with helping sports persons. You mention that Bluetherium will help sports persons with things like financing and getting equipment etc. What you fail to talk about is how you are going to generate the funds to pay for those items and help them. It will not be feasible to rely on the market price of your token as history has repeated itself over and over, countless times that most new tokens' price drop shortly after release. Can you please expand on the sustainable funding of your project?
22  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Marblecake - DeFi & Yield Tokens [Crowdsale Open NOW] on: March 12, 2022, 04:16:37 PM
I notice that your crowdsale went live. I also noticed that your site wants to open Metamask and connect to it but I do not see a functioning exchange on it.

Can you please clarify the following points:
  • In your whitepaper you mention "Marblecake’s pegged tokens are backed by mixed reserves consisting of Marble tokens, BNB and BTC with an over-collateralization rate of 25%" Can you please give us the audit report that verifies the collateral? If you are going to use Marble tokens as collateral there is no guarantee that the value of Marble tokens will remain enough to back the mUSD.
  • Can you also point us to the audit report of your contract?
  • Please tell us what marblecake exchange will provide us that is not already provided by the other existing DeFi platforms?

The traditional banking system has had the luxury of decades and millennia to develop procedures to protect the public and the flow of money through the various economies. There exist many checks and balances that do not exist in decentralized financial systems. One of the mechanisms to protect the financial system and combat illegal money flows is through freezing of assets. This can only be done because of the centralized nature of the financial system. Banks will not willy-nilly freeze accounts or assets, only if it can be linked to illegal money flows, crime or if required by legislation. The traditional safety and protection of the public includes other advantages like the return of funds. These protection measures do not exist for crypto. I do think however that in future such mechanisms of protection may be developed for crypto but is still far off. For the short to medium term banks will continue to exist and will freeze accounts if required.

I would like to know where you get the pictures of the stamps you process and have up for sale. Is it scans from an actual collection or do you tale it from the web somewhere. From the pictures on the website it seems that the stamps are unused.
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cross-chain Bridge Aggregators on: March 11, 2022, 02:34:13 PM
Thanks for the list. I see they missed a few cross-chain bridges including Multichain and Rubic.exchange, and several othees are in the pipeline.

On a side note: pity what happenend to Polygon yesterday with the upgrade bug haltng rhe chain. Earlier today the applied a hotfix but said their bridge would be down until a permanent fix was applied.
26  Economy / Economics / Re: Natural Gas, Electricity, Oil / Gas & Inflation- Nightmare Scenario on: March 11, 2022, 02:24:21 PM
Energy wise I think the problem will be more related to natural gas than oil. The middle eastern countries will just pump more oil and make more money in the process. Getting natural gas from another source is not that easy. It is going to be pain in the short term and in the medium term things will stabalize.
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Smart Move... on: March 10, 2022, 09:59:55 PM
Do you think converting my XRP holdings to Solana for long term hold is a smart move?

My 2 Sol worth of comment is that XRP has had its large jump in price. Solana still has a way to go and if you are after profits it is probably a safer bet to keep it in Solana. A more prudent strategy would be never to put all your eggs in one basket. Take part of your XRP and convert to SOL and leave part of it in XRP. This way you can diversify and spread your risk.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some MetaMask Security Tips on: March 10, 2022, 09:50:37 PM
The best advice for a metamask is to use a metamask with a ledger or trezor hardware wallet. If you use defi applications, then carefully monitor what approvals you give projects to debit your tokens.
https://tac.dappstar.io/#/
https://approved.zone/
https://debank.com/

Thanks for these links. I was wondering where I can see what outstanding authorizations there are on addresses. |Regarding using a Ledger, I agree only use a Ledger with Metamask. Any other use of Metamask should only be for a brief temporary transaction like receiving something there and then moving on to your Ledger for example, or to send something to a native Metamask address before giving permissions to the account when you connect to a new type of DeFi platform. Then also do not keep anything in your Metamask addresses that are not in your Ledger.
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any way stop receiving BSC airdrop tokens? on: March 10, 2022, 09:41:00 PM
This is nothing new. The problem started way back with Waves because of the cheap fees to create a new token, and because the functionality to create a token and do a mass airdrop became very easy to do.  The problem is in displaying tokens as after a while you have to scroll through many lists of tokens to get to the valuable tokens. What Waves implemented was a verification system as well as a system where you can hide the junk. This is perhaps something that BSC devs have to look into to replicate.
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Create An Entire NFT Collection (10,000) WITHIN 1 CLICK on: March 07, 2022, 10:10:02 AM
Not to be rude or anything, I noticed that the download file is only 5mb (It is Zipped however). But nevertheless how did you manage to put a whole suite of functionality into 5mb? I am concerned to open and execute the Zip file. Can you expand more on how it works as other tools of this kind with animation are gigabytes in size? Or can you put the extracted file somewhere for download so that the executable can be checked by Virustotal?
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Machine Learning for identifying SCAM NFT Games on: March 07, 2022, 05:18:31 AM
Hi everyone!

I just wanna ask if there's interest in an application that uses machine learning to identify potentially fraudulent NFT games. Machine Learning is basically an approach in which we feed raw data to an application/machine and it learns something on its own[1]. And I understand that there is a lot of data to examine, such as their website, github repository, whitepaper and fake team to be utilized as Artificial Intelligence training data, and so on...but is there even a demand for it? Is this a worthwhile research project?

On the other hand, I discovered a previous study[2] that utilizes the similar process but instead of NFT, they identify scam ICOs, which provides me an idea for this study's topic. With the NFT games at peak, will this topic be helpful in many ways?

*Self moderated for unconstructive posts*

Being able to tell if something is a scam with more certainty is really something that is needed. Although there are current indicators to guide us it is never possible to tell with 100% certainty and there is always a risk of something being a scam, but sometimes it only materializes after the scam occurred. An indicator you mentioned is having a whitepaper, but not having a whitepaper does not mean it is a scam, it just adds to the risk score.

Some important items to consider:

  • It may be good to produce a risk score instead of claiming something is a scam until there are clear evidence. Factors that could impact a risk score are items you mentioned, as well as when contracts are involved the audit reports. A factor that will be very difficult to program is the gut feel of the idea. The idea may sound good but on closer inspection it seems at some point there will be division by zero proverbially speaking or lead turned into gold, that should count a lot. A particular issue for me is the project claims that there will be payouts in a stable coin but they don't say where the stable coin funds will come from.
  • When is something considered to be a scam and when is it not - for example, dev does a rug pull or exist with the funds and the project died, funds were obtained but the dev team ran out of funds and the project died,  there was no community interest and a project died, some government shut something down and the project died, a dev team had a great idea but poor strategy and execution and the project died etc.
  • What data will be used for he machine to learn eg will you use attributes from past confirmed scams?
  • At which point do you confirm a project is a scam. There are projects that have been going on for years but is not progressing a lot with some people claiming scam and others clinging to hope
32  Economy / Economics / Re: Can current sanctions Ruble inflation stop Russia? on: March 06, 2022, 09:59:14 PM
In the end this will come down to who can last the longest, hunger and famine in Russia or the energy shortages in the West. The economic sanctions will cause unprecedented hardships in Russia and energy prices in the West is going to skyrocket. You mention that Russia has survived previously on Vodka and bread, but even that can only go so far. A lot of the Russian hard currency has been frozen so it cannot be used by Russia. All being equal, Russia will not be able to sustain the war if the resistance continue and by the looks of things Ukraine is putting up a lot of resistance. At some point something has got to give and one of the pillars that would give in is the Russian economy. Another factor that is going to impact a lot is that VISA, Master Card and American Express ahs stopped operating in Russia, and I am not even referring to SWIFT. This basically means that the population's cards will not work and people will have to stand in lines at the banks to withdraw cash to buy food.
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do I get BNB into my polygon account on metamask? on: March 06, 2022, 09:50:45 PM
If you have BNB in Metamask it means that you have BNB BEP20 on BSC in Metamask. Polygon is a different network from BSC, although you have the same addresses on all three of ETH, BSC and Polygon. You cannot just send BNB on BSC to Polygon. For this to work you need a cross-chain bridge. You can use something like rubic.exchange or multichain router to swap your BNB on BSC to BNB on Polygon. But I wouldn't recommend that you swap to BNB on Polygon. I don't think there is enough liquidity to make it worth it and you are just going to get bad deals. If you are going to swap to Polygon, rather swap to Matic on Polygon or one of the USD stable coins like USDC, it is much more versatile and more liquidity.  
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: APECOIN: new token launch with NFT Market and future metaverse game on: March 06, 2022, 09:30:56 PM
With all due respect I think your project has a lot of areas that remain unexplained eg:

  • No whitepaper
  • Where are you going to get the BUSD from?
  • The moment I read "community driven coin" it sounds big red alarm bells. Who says that the community wants an Apecoin? This just means that you will not be doing any development as it is "community driven", and since there will probably be no community to drive it it will die down soon.
  • It would be much better if you do the development with a competent team.

35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: 🔷 Waves Tech - a powerful blockchain-agnostic ecosystem on: March 06, 2022, 09:22:14 PM
A very strong 200+ blow off top is imminent.

That would put Waves in the top 10, I see a more realistic 70-75 putting it top 25-20.

If a similar bull run will happen back in 2020 going to 21, it could go more than $200+ in my view as well but we could always see people dumping when the price goes off $70-75 hoping the price will dip again. It usually does when traders are inclined to accumulate the token. Somehow I'm positive that it could go more than $200.

7 year old same coin nothing new.who uses waves seriously  Grin

That too. I am also curious how many of us really use WAVES. The way I think of it is that there are just more people trying to buy to stake and earn.


Back then Waves was revolutionary, but not a lot has changed over the last number of years. Integration into other platforms is poor and the bridges are antiquated. The first for of bridges were called gateways. Now everybody is doing bridges and Waves are still not integrated into the the other major platforms. Waves was one of the first platforms that allowed you to have other tokens on it and create them cheaply and transfer them cheaply at 0.001. WX was hot if you bought in the ICO/IDO and then dumped soon after. After that WX had a typical graph of downwards trend. I haven't seen anything innovative coming out of Waves and the last while.

I don't see anything new or revolutionary in your whitepaper. I also don't see anything about your team or any audits that you have done on your contracts. Can you please fix those or if they do exist point us to it?
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Server cases vs open air frames on: March 06, 2022, 12:32:27 PM
A mining rig needs the most hashes you can get. This means high clock speeds and GPU fans that will be spinning fast. You cannot get away from the noise, just deal with it. Closed cases are designed to do good cooling and airflow be are too expensive if you have many cards, rather just build open racks and place fans behind the rigs to blow away the air and a proper aircon to fit your room size or extractors to get out the hot air. Save on cases and rather spend it on aircon or extractors.
38  Economy / Economics / Re: Who will Replace Russian Gas Supplies to Europe? on: March 06, 2022, 12:26:21 PM
In the short term there will be big problems in natural gas supply to Europe. In the medium to long term my bet for gas would be on Africa. They have a lot of untapped supply, but building infrastructure would take some time. Regarding oil it would either be Iran or Africa in my view. Again Africa has a lot of untapped oil reserves.
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Create An Entire NFT Collection (10,000) WITHIN 1 CLICK on: March 06, 2022, 08:59:09 AM
I watched the video but the name of the tool is not explicitly placed. I also cannot find it on the Internet - is this because you have not published it yet? I also see you seemed to have used the Invisible Man as the example. I have the following questions:

  • Does your software create the motion as well or do you have to import the final product?
  • Does your software create the unique traits or do you have to import the full set of unique traits and then your software applies them randomly?
  • If you software generates the unique traits automatically, can it also create unique traits for motion? How will it distinguish the traits if they are not obvious?
40  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: I'm suspecting my 1200w power supply on: March 06, 2022, 07:12:00 AM
I would also recommend that you measure the actual watts at the wall. Efficiency of power supplies play a role that cannot be ignored. If we do a rough calculation, an 80% efficient 1200W PSU will draw around 1500W at the wall [1200/0.8]. It needs to provide 1200W to the inside of the PC but will draw more power at the wall to do it. The more expensive PSUs like the Corsair AX1200i that is 80Plus Platinum is much more efficient than a normal 1200W 80Plus rated PSU. Not to say this is your problem but it would be good if you can invest in a proper PSU where the watts at the wall is closer to the internal rated watts. Furthermore, get yourself a watt meter at the wall. You plug the PSU power cable into the watt meter and that into the wall. It then displays the actually watts at the wall on the plug and you just leave it there. As your loads increase, you will see the digital display increase. Lastly, make sure you put a UPS between the wall and the PSU, just to take out any fluctuations in power that may damage a PSU, because in the end such a fluctuation could have damaged your current PSU.
