^My recommendation is to do the research yourself and always keep your ear to the ground for new innovative coins. This is the same fallacy as the "sports bet pickers". Everyone picks a winner eventually. Proving one has a statistical edge when trading alts is a hard endeavor though. Look for new innovation, wait for it to come out and start trading (fuck icos lol) and buy some when it evens out and just sits there in accumulation phase. This way the market has already decided a semi-fair starting price before you even buy in, which gives you a bit of insurance that you aren't buying vaporware like what is possible with icos. Buy only as much as you are willing to lose, even if its only $100 that can turn into $1000 pretty damn quick with a decent alt pick. This is the only way I can have a defined risk/reward and know what my potential entry/exits are before i buy, this way I'm not freaking out when it moves against me a little and I'm also not tempted to take profits early. If i had to pick a few coins to rise at the moment, I'd pick Sia/Naut/Amp/byteball (long term)/ & possibly LTC next week after segwit activation (I have the least amount of confidence in ltc, yet I still think its a pretty decent shot to go up a bit more, though probably nothing astronomical). I hold a few of each of the mentioned coins. Sia/Naut have been rebuilding since it's lows on high volume and steady gains. I am 100% positive Sia will be 100+ sats soon, and naut I'm hoping for a 3x from it's current point. (I hate the idea of investing in Naut, but its supply is super low and I've seen worse coins take off). Amp has been rebuilding beautifully and could also 3x from its current point, in my opinion. Also always decide whether you are buying this coin for the longer term or just for a quick 1 day-6 month trade. It will highly impact your trade, one you want to make sure to sell early, the other you want to make sure to hold on for dear life. You never want to get the two mixed up, you will either hold too long and miss out of profits/bag hold, or you will sell too early and take a small win when it could've been a life changing win. Don't buy anything because I said so though, go check out every single coin on poloniex and find the "golden eggs" that give you the best chances of success. Look for steady rebuilding & consistently higher than average volume. Don't invest any more than you are willing to lose (this way you are never tempted to puss out and sell early, very important). I'd rather everyone learn something from each trade they make (whether profitable or not), I feel one can't learn from simply buying something on recommendation. The thought process of why the purchase was made in the first place isn't there to learn from. Sorry to blab, just like to try to help.  There's just so much more to the trade than the "pick". I am a firm believer that the exit strategy is more important than the entry. I wish you the best of luck with profits. Get in there! :p Cryptohunter; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=92110100% agree on doing your own research and building an exit plan. Everyone on BCT is a 'sports bet picker' ha. Don't do trading, I do investing on fundamentals. Community, innovation, tech, distribution, etc. Great BTW post BitWhale. Good read. |

Been following Cryptohunter's posts on BCT for the past nine months.
Found out about PIVX (formerly DarkNet) through one of his earlier posts. Ended up buying a ton of masternodes on his recommendation at 800 SATs. Made an f'in insane amount of money.
Been following Cryptohunter's recent posts on BlockNet and BitBay. Bought big stakes in both.
Up 7x on BlockNet.
Up 3x on BitBay.
So many heavy posters on BCT are all talk. Cryptohunter; the real deal. Maybe not genius; but the only poster on BCT that I will buy on a recommendation.

PIVX.
PIVX is like Dash without the instamine (also better community, dev, marketing, innovations, governance).
Your right, the instamine is a non-issue for people who hold Dash (very few). For everyone else, and for anyone new looking to invest, PIVX is far superior.
I dumped my Dash at 0.1 BTC on some dumb trader. Bought PIVX masternodes. Never looking back.
At least we get to all watch the slow, centralized death of Dash over the next year together.

It's a dash clone, nothing to see. And since it has low market cap it's an easy pump as long as greater fools come in.
Which scenario is more likely. 1. PIVX just cloned Dash, manipulated the market to a $100MM cap and will imminently crash. OR 2. PIVX launched fairly (the dev didn't instamine 20% of supply). The developer, anyone working on the team, the early adopters had to BUY or MINE their PIVX before transition to POS. Took the Dash codebase and improved it. Built a decentralized community of volunteers who support brand, marketing, web, design, and development channels. Grew price organically (with not one member of the core team dumping their stake). Introduced innovative roadmap with Zerocoin integration and added privacy features. Didn't switch from being a anonymous focused crypto to a 'paypal of crypto' (without community involvement no less). Dash has become a centralized joke that is facing a slow death. I dumped all my Dash holdings on some sucker at 0.1 BTC. Bought more PIVX masternodes. Never looked back. PIVX will replace Dash not because PIVX is that much more innovative than Dash. It is because PIVX did what Dash couldn't; launch fairly, build community, build democratic consensus, stay true to the investors. |

Interested in buying into XST; especially at this price. Integration with BlockNet is a plus.
What does the Slack community look like? What are the development plans for this crypto? Looks like everyone is out to lunch?
Any new innovations in the pipeline?

I wonder if PIVX can reach 10 dollars? it seems to be doing great, but the supply is heavily centralized in the hands of very few, it's way worse than bitcoin and bitcoin has big whales itself... how are they going to solve this? This is a bigger problem in PoS!
Wait what? PIVX (previously DarkNet) was fairly distributed during a long POW phase. 60,000 coins were pre-mined, but then destroyed (to support masternodes). There is a record of these premined coins being burned. The only holders of PIVX bought it, and have continued to hold as price has risen. All coins were either bought or mined. There was no premine, instamine, developer fund, team fund, etc. It is not fair to say that this crypto is centralized. Anyone who is holding more than 50,000 is at massive risk of big loss if price crashes. Risk/reward. If anything, a few people were smart and saw the potential early, then had the balls to keep holding as price rocketed up (could have just have easily crashed). |

I've been buying BitBay on the drop. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but this is basically a better SDC/Particl project?
There is a lot of potential with BitBay. A lot of risk I guess too. They shouldn't have ICO'd, but that is neither here nor there.
Anyone got any info on devs associated with project?

PIVX. 2,200 engaged Slack community. Extremely active support channels with lead dev support.

Big fan of FTC. I guess I have always been.
I built up a big supply in 2015, and held most of it until the spike in 2016. Dumped at the right time.
I am not sure FTC is that special except that it has had fair distribution and still exists. In a space where there is a new ICO scam daily, I think this may be enough to make something of FTC. I recall transactions were super fast, but I guess PIVX/Dash and some other cryptos have caught up.
I just bought in @ a relatively large stake at 1k SATs. I didn't realize, but I was actually still holding a decent amount (ha just checked my wallet).
Yea, I am getting back in FTC. I just have this feeling that there is potential here (if only for someone to pump). But the craziness of the markets right now; anything is possible.
My take is decent high-risk/return bet.

General Slack now has 2,200 members.
There is now a grid-Slack structure with over 5 separate organization channels for development, marketing, governance, etc.
BTC goes down, PIVX goes up. BTC goes up, PIVX holds. PIVX literally does the opposite of the rest of most of the altcoin market. I think that says a lot about this community. Probably the best in crypto, built from nothing.
PIVX is probably going to be a case study in what you can do in crypto with community driving the bus.

I think we all need to take a second to look at Poloniex.
PIVX got to where it is without any major exchange. I am calling out Poloniex because they are the largest US altcoin exchange.
Two months ago Pascal Coin has a market cap of about $80k. Suddenly (without any major news) trading volume picks up and for about two weeks, someone is buying heavy volume without shaking market.
Then like MAGIC, Poloniex lists Pascal Coin, and the market cap goes to $8MM. Does anyone really believe that a third-party was not buying on insider Poloniex knowledge of a listing?
What is it worth now? $1.7MM.
Poloniex is playing a very dirty game.
I cannot wait until they get more heavily regulated, and the SEC/IRS investigates what has been going on, and they get shut down, the class-actioned to hell.
You would think that a major exchange should list any crypto that is top 25 market cap (achieved organically).
I guess Poloniex only wants to list crypto that they can buy through a third-party prior to listing.

btw: pivx.org seems to be down atm maybe a ddos attack or maintnance maybe *shrug*
confirmed for www.pivx.org, and https://forum.pivx.org seems down too   . wouldn't it be nice to have a decentralized website and forum? maybe with a .onion address too . PIVX.org is down. The developers have confirmed this, and are working on fixing the issue ASAP. More information to come. |

Done without an ICO.
Done without premine or instamine.
Done without Poloniex trying to play kingmaker.
Done without any major exchange or trading manipulation.
Done without BitcoinTalk hype-machine.
Done by a great community on Slack (over 1,000+ members). Amazing development team. Transparent governance. Fair announcement and fair-POW distribution.
A crypto being built from the best of Dash, Bitcoin, and Zerocoin protocol. Privacy focused POS with masternode/staking reward structure that incentivizes ownership and funds development. Low interest rate. Over 1,800 unique-IP masternodes.
I am so sick of this hyped-up, scam-filled, pre-mine, exchange-insider traded cryptocurrency space. It is refreshing to see a project built on the backs of one hell of a community.

It's called PIVX.
Its like Dash but with a fair distribution (no instamine), great community (transparent), and POS.
Masternodes are about $5k.
Buying at this point is betting on a Poloniex add, and a bet that this can directly compete with Dash. If it pays off, at least 2x return.

PIVX is now up 30x since January 1st. http://imgur.com/a/gSk3IMarket cap just went passed $10MM Community is about to hit 700 on Slack. Development team is doing a great job on both project-technology advancement and governance. Libzerocoin will introduce unparalleled privacy features. Staking/masternode rewards are reaching low-inflation levels, so supply of coin is decreasing. Price has been going up. It doesn't look like a pump/dump by all indicators I can see. Looks like the reward/inflation structure is solid. Between staking/masternode structure, ownership is super-incentivized. I recently sold all my remaining Dash for an insane profit and doubled-down into PIVX. I have always liked Dash, but the project is too centralized; instamined is an unescapable controversy. I am making bet that Poloniex add will happen and am assuming that market cap will go crazy (400BTC volume on Bittrex cannot be ignored). Also looks like a number of serious developers from other projects are getting involved in Slack and community at the very least to follow progress. I think PIVX got a big influx of investors leaving ShadowCash and the disaster their development team has unleashed. Anyway discuss. |

Which is bullshit of course, Dash is both decentralized with its miners and its masternodes and has a trustless setup:
This just proves that generalizethis can not be trusted with regards to statements about Dash.
Aren't a lot of those VPS hosts? Yes, and qwizno is aware of this fact (as it's been pointed out many times, as recent as days ago--see link) and he chooses to ignore it and to continually post graphics that are meant to fool noobs. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1828180.msg18212134#msg18212134Qwizno, he's still waiting for an answer--it's only a rhetorical question if you are full of shit. It looks like more than 60% of Dash masternodes are hosted on VPS's. I would like to know how this chart shows any evidence that Dash is "decentralised", or that all those masternodes aren't owned by one person. This is why I sold my Dash masternode and doubled-down on PIVX. Everything + community so much better. |

Whats up guys.
Lately Ive been looking for some relatively cheap and new cryptos on the market with good potential of growing for next 3 years+
I found my top 1, where I have done huge research and I invested quite a lot in it, as I think its a blast.
However, Factom and Decred are on my mind. I was wondering if any of you know something about them.
If they offer a good technology, hows the community, and generally if it's good long term investment and why.
For what I know now(which is not a lot), Factom looks better for me.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Decred; centralized scam. 17.2% dev theft, 17.2% airdrop, 19.7% POS, 6.6% dev fund. Crazy. If devs are invested in the project, release POW, and devs should invest in mining. Skimming 20% off the top says something about the devs running the project. Devs don't want to invest, they just want to launch ICO. I also own Decred bought a few weeks ago, and I plan on dumping soon for profit. Factom looks even worse. I am pretty sure Factom is a blockchain that stores hashs that can be applied to audit or other functions using the Factom token. Then they ICO at $30MM market cap. Can anyone tell me if Factom has been used for any application? Does Factom have any clients? Does Factom have anything other than an ICO and an inflated market cap? Concept is viable I guess, but someone else will do it better. |

Wait until PIVX integrates libzerocoin protocol into existing POS (masternode/stake) structure. Best of all privacy/anonymous words.
500 TOR masternodes, 1200 IPv6 masternodes.
Anyone who doesn't Bittrex has almost missed the boat. Devs are progressing at a faster and faster clip.

PIVX is cooking with gas right now. Community just passed 650 on Slack. Everyone is welcome. The team is very helpful with support, you can get involved in marketing, web, or other community functions. Also a number of multi-language channels and random channels like trading, etc. You can join here: http://slack.pivx.org/. Development team has proven in both updates and governance they have the ability to take this platform to the next level. Libzerocoin will introduce unparalleled privacy features. Staking/masternode rewards are reaching low-inflation levels, so supply of coin is decreasing. Also community seems pretty committed (which is why there is small sell-side supply). People are holding. I like Dash, I have Dash and made a lot of money with Dash, but Dash is not sustainable. Too centralized; instamined unescapable controversy. PIVX has taken what is good from Dash added fair launch; and is now adding brand new features, and a new core code that will boost anonymity like crazy. Also, just lost a lot on ShadowCash. Example of how developers who do not know what they are doing can destroy a coin. From what I can see PIVX development team is highly, highly engaged with community, and supportive/collaborating with all members. My take is PIVX will soon either be added by Poloniex, or start being used on dark markets. |

Reminder that PIVX has a very strong Slack community. We now have over 550 community members on Slack. The group is very helpful with support, you can get involved in marketing, web, or other community functions. Also a number of multi-language channels and random channels like trading, etc. You can join here: http://slack.pivx.org/. The good news is price is rising and there has continued to be very strong buy support. Masternode count is approaching 2k. Development is picking up at a very fast clip. Last update five days ago: https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releases/. Tons of bug fixes, and improvements. Keep up the great work everyone. |
