Got in quick too and traded without doing a lot of research first. Initially intended to buy only a fair share of promising tokens that just got listed but I was unfortunately swayed by hype. I ended up selling all of the tokens I acquired too early during a bullish run, got impatient then re-invested so I could buy back the tokens I initially intended to hodl, at a higher price from a bear market. I've learned my mistakes and will try to be more patient next time and try to trade with more knowledge.

Hello. Novice coder/developer here so please be kind.

If it's possible, I'd like to solicit all available info the community can provide that can in a way provide some specific/helpful direction for my vision on how I could go on with the payroll system that I am developing in case my proposal to my superiors to consider crypto payments instead of fiat is given a go signal.

The system that I've developed has been developed purely in Python3 using a pre-existing .mdb accounts database (that I think should definitely be migrated to SQL/MySQL). It basically processes an input list of payees entitled to receive a given payment/wage/incentive for a certain period. Since every batch of payments being processed involve thousands up to millions of payments, initial validation of input list of payees (provided by an independent source) is an integral part of the system with the management of a database of payroll accounts. After validation, automated per account identification for every payee found in the input list follows before a payroll file is generated. With the limits of my coding knowledge, this is how I was able to make my CLI payroll system function so far. I got stuck after database migration since I'm still orienting myself with all these database syntaxes and commands for the report-generation part of the system.

My vision for the development of the system is to later convert the accounts to crypto wallet addresses with obfuscation of names and amounts. After generating/downloading a periodic report, authorized personnel/super-users should however be able to disable obfuscation by using a private/public view key (offline only maybe?) for report or audit purposes.

Would highly appreciate any advice on development or paying for already existing secure online services that could cater to the payroll management requirements above (and maybe more that I am not able to foresee right now).

The idea of digital currency using blockchain technology was never intended for a central authority to gain control of. Centralization would in fact defeat the purpose why Bitcoin was invented in the first place.

Generally speaking, there's very little or nothing to fear in complying with KYC requirements mandated by law/regulations. So one must be aware of laws/regulations governing his/her transactions/would-be transactions. For me, if it's neither mandatory by law nor set by any regulation, I usually start to become doubtful. It is very important for me, even if compliance is mandatory, to know how my private data is going to be protected and to what extent private data will be utilized.

Knowing that all Telegram chats are centrally stored on Telegram's servers, the fact that Telegram holds the encryption keys capable of reading any conversation stored on these servers because of how the transmission of messages is setup, I have my reservations.
-Because of this added info, it would be a mistake to financially transact/trade with anyone in-app on Telegram.

I'm not for anyone coming from the banking/traditional financial industry. But I think they can be given a chance if they come in peace with an 'empty cup'. The cups they carry with them have been filled with all these contamination all throughout the ages!

I think this is one solid plan. I'm working towards more or less the same plan.

Considering rental income as a passive income makes your plan even more solid. I think no other passive income could match with rental income in terms of steady cash flow.

- Hilarious mate. But could really happen about a decade into the future, lmao.

My advice is start with Binance. No need for KYC to start trading. Also, before starting you may want to visit the link to Binance Academy. There you will find very helpful instructions and tips for newbie and advanced traders alike.

I guess some of the information provided here are already outdated and some dead links need to be updated. I think KYC policies change over time. In my recent experience with Bitfinex and if you scan through their Help center, you will find that they do not require KYC during sign-up, during deposit (up to a certain amount I guess) and trade of most cryptocurrencies. KYC is required if you want to deposit/withdraw fiat, stable tokens/coins and some other selected tokens/coins.

Other major projects  may have gotten the attention of other investors but NEO has its own ways of attracting followers in the crypto industry and technologically wise, we can also say that it can stand side by side with other major platforms and compete with them squarely. At least we can all say that indeed, "competition will create more innovation" so to speak.

Correct! The fact that Ethereum aims to improve upon the shortcomings of BTC and other coins and its introduction to the concept of smart contracts is an amazing achievement itself and I think this is just the beginning because I see a future where it will continue to produce more innovative and useful  features never been imagined before in crypto industry.

Indeed! We can see Ethereum will continue to attract many developers and projects with its sophisticated innovation and massive developer support. I think there is a greater interest on keeping the ecosystem as effective as possible  and becomes more scalable to accommodate more projects within its ecosystem.

I think the bulls will make a steady and surely rise on the way to the next ATH most notably for major cryptocurrencies including Litecoin, though I cannot predict when will it happen but eventually it will in the foreseeable future.

Perhaps its well known to the crypto community that this project possesses strong foundations necessary for its success. This is also one of the best and innovative projects so far in cryptoverse and I will not wonder if its community are getting bigger everyday.

If we check their Trello.com roadmap - https://trello.com/b/LBdFxyig/utrust-public-product-roadmap , we can see important milestones already done so I guess they need to let the community test it especially its Alpha version for the wallet and other available prototypes or MVP.

I feel pity to this project and its team, maybe they have succumbed to the ill effects of crypto winter but we do hope they could air their side with it and not turn cold on us.

Yes, it seems likely that a listing in a major exchange could very well stimulate a price increase of OIO tokens especially if there will be BTC/OIO pairs available.

This is really an important test case for DASH adoption in Latin America especially in Venezuela and I hope its popularity would spread across the region successfully especially with merchant adoption.

Any major announcements, be it a development update or a listing in a new exchange  would make this token's price surge but it must be taken into consideration that there will always be an active development going along with it.
