I would like to invite you to see the chesscoin thread,it's an ambitious project and probably one pf the project worth getting into,they are on the ICO mode and surprisingly traded already traded on Yobit,
The dev initially wants ask the Yobit team to accept them after the Ico but they readily accept it ..
As the best chess player here I am willing to affirm that Chesscoin looks like a horrible project. The ICO setup is among the most greedy I have seen, they have done nothing to demonstrate the technical competence to deliver what is promised and it is already trading on Yobit (during the ICO). Stay away To the OP, avoid all projects where the promoters frequently talk about potential rate of return. Focus on learning more about cryptography. Most alt coins are just clones with nothing but a different marketing angle meant to attract those without much knowledge. Of the 5 coins you mentioned in the OP, BTC is my favorite and XRP is my least favorite. Don't trust me or anyone else posting in this thread. Conduct more research and avoid rash decisions. Sometimes the best investment decision is to make no investment at all. |

Thanks. I never really took my eye off of Monero, I just have lacked the time to interact with the community recently. I was not going to log in today until I noticed the Chesscoin ICO announcement and felt the need to share my (very negative) feelings about it. |

Without question this is a horrible idea. The ICO model is extremely greedy and development is focused on ideas that will not work. Any online chess tournament with significant prizes will attract bots strong enough to beat the best players in the world.
No evidence of Chess DAPPs ideas of any value have been presented. I see lots of buzzwords and zero substance.
Serious chess players will avoid this ICO like the plague.
We mainly focused on rapid chess. Are you interesting in playing chess? If yes, you can visit this site: Chesscube.com Chesscube fueled by virtual currencies (Chess Cubit or Crow which are centralized virtual currencies). You're just able to deposit fiat money, buy their Cubit or Crown to play and cannot withdraw your money. ChessCube is still working very well with thousands of games played everyday. The clear idea we are pursuing is that you will have an advanced Chess Application fueled by a decentralized cryptocurrency. I am not going to waste my time arguing with you. Becoming an alternative to fiat is not a worthy reason to invest in your ICO. Thousands of existing cryptocurrencies can already offer that. |

Here I am about the same. Here, because there is not something new that would collect the ICO.
It is not clear, with the result that the investor will receive.
It is obvious that the developer is not a serious chess player and only using "chess" as a buzzword to attract investment from non chess players who do not understand the realities of playing chess online in the age of computers. Ignoring the prize money problems (easily abused with computer assistance), creating decentralized DAPPs for playing chess is a solution in search of a problem. Very fast time controls are dominant online and latency is extremely important. With numerous reliable free solutions already available, it makes no sense why someone would pay transaction fees to utilize a blockchain based chess DAPP to play a chess game online, (with more lag and less features than existing free options). |

Looks fishy to me too. Thanks for the heads up!
I have not logged onto my Bitcointalk account in quite some time, but felt motivated to state my objection. Hopefully my comments will discourage a few people from investing in the ICO.

Any online chess tournament with significant prizes will attract bots strong enough to beat the best players in the world. No evidence of Chess DAPPs ideas of any value have been presented. I see lots of buzzwords and zero substance. I want to promote the use of cryptocurrency within this Chess community. This Chesscoin ICO looks toxic and is likely to do more harm than good. Stay away! There are thousands of chess games played online everyday. Enthusiastic chess players spend a lot of time playing chess without any achievement. Many chess softwares and websites have built up modern platforms for chess players to fight against computer and human or to join online tournaments in all formats which are the same as authentic tournaments. The difference between those two tournaments is that online players just receive virtual medals without any material value. If there is a game-based platform in which chess players are paid whenever they win a game or a tournament, it would be great chances for millions of people whose dreams are to play chess for real award. That platform which is based on an advanced prize delivering system will hold both amateur and professional tournaments in all levels. Accompany with the quick development of blockchain technology, that platform will eventually come true. We, the men who are enthusiastic in both chess and cryptocurrency have been working hard to build up a Blockchain based Chess Dapp or Decentralized Chess Playing Platform which is fueled by a cryptocoin, named ChessCoin. ChessCoin Specifications
Coin name: ChessCoin
Coin Ticker: CHESS
Algorithm: Scrypt
Type: Hybrid PoW/PoS
PoW lasts for 4096 Blocks
PoS works from beginning.
Block reward: 64
Target spacing: 64 seconds
Max supply: 74.666.667
Premine percent: 64%
Premine amount: 48.000.000
Min stake time: 2 hours
Coinbase maturity: 32 blocks Premine is used for ICO to raise fund for further development of ChessCoin based Dapps. PoW which lasts not too long (4096 blocks) is for stabilizing and securing ChessCoin network at the early phase. 32% anual stake reward would not be high because this will encourage ChessCoin investors to hold it for long term. One another important thing is that an impressive PoS reward will be more attractive to chess community. The more people join in , the more value ChessCoin will increase.

Do you have a referral code you would like used? How safe is this russian site? No, I just noticed their message on twitter. I cannot make statements regarding that unfortunately, since I don't have sufficient information. I have a referral code but prefer not to share it because my goal was not to make money from this. Monero needs to be listed on more exchanges. Although the original Tweet came from me, I not affiliated with livecoin in any way. I know several people who use the exchange and are satisfied with it. Keep voting! Any idea how high Monero currently is on the list? Or is there no visible list? When I looked at it, it was within the top 10, I think like 5th or so. I didn't vote because you need to either have a history of trading with them or "buy" votes. I am not a fan of buying votes, but I can understand why they would want those with a trading history. They want to add coins that will be actively trading by their customers. DASH has reasonable volume there so I think we can assume this is a good opportunity for XMR. |

This may be my last post for several weeks. The key to this endgame is piece activity. Good luck to both teams.
My schedule does not allow time for any distractions right now, but you can expect my return by early next month. Depending on several factors I may decide to reveal my identity when I return. Whether that happens or not I do have some ideas to help Monero and plan to contribute more in the future.

I love to learn and will try to observe some dev IRC meetings in the future when I have more time. Thanks for the summary. |

Was there any specific Monero news that led to the rally today? Or was it a delayed revaluation as a result of all of this? You forgot some things :-P - Exodus integrating XMR (exodus.io) - Multi-sig - 2 minute block times which will improve security of the network I am probably forgetting some myself too. Can Riccardo Spagni discuss the level of interest Monero received in Florida? Could the increased volume today be from some of the Satoshi Roundtable participants deciding to build a position in Monero? Ra5: 1 vote (letsplayagame) |

Below are some brief comments on the game. After I made few inaccuracies in the opening the game was close to dynamically equal (although quite complex) until move 26. The resulting endgame was very difficult to defend and you put up great resistance until move 50. Your quality of play was much improved from game one and I was particularly impressed with how you navigated the tactical problems I tried to present. Feel free to ask questions. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3 O-O 8.c3 d5 9. exd5 Nxd5 10. Nxe5 Nxe5 11. Rxe5 c6 12. d4 {12.d3 has been more popular at the top levels recently.} 12... Bd6 13.
