If you don't share more about yourself and the project, there is no way for high quality engineers to vet your project. High quality engineers don't get chosen, they do the choosing. This is usually confusing for people who don't have much experience managing a quality team.

Honestly? It looks like a scam. It looks like there was no effort put into the offering. The coin is also expensive. I'm not going to read your entire whitepaper, but why would someone want to invest in this offering? Not to mention it says you are developing an Ethereum based coin, but you accept Bitcoin. The entire thing is just confusing to me and I would bet confusing to most people who come to your site. Also, I just noticed that half your white paper is literally a copy and pasted template.. What are you thinking? Did you not think people would read it, or do you just not care? It's not even finished, it still has editors notes in it.
205  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Blockchain project starting from scratch? on: December 22, 2017, 10:57:44 PM
I'm a little confused. If you don't have the technical knowledge, how do you know you can make the blockchain better? I think it's a little odd to start from scratch when there are numerous open source projects and platforms you could leverage to build your own blockchain. Could you share some of your ideas so we have a better understanding of what you are trying to do? It's likely you don't need to start from scratch.
206  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Looking for expert dev with extensive experience with Bitcoin Code [Bounty] on: December 22, 2017, 10:53:38 PM
Maybe if you explain the issue someone would be willing to jump in and share their knowledge at no cost at all. You can also try the "Technical" discussion board which may have more answers relevant to your inquiry.

Hey, do you guys have a place I can see your work online? I have a team of software engineers who are looking for another web developer and graphic designer. You can PM me if you would like.
208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: FIRST AND ONLY ICO THAT ALLOWS TO EXCHANGE OF TOKENS FOR COMPANY SHARES! on: December 12, 2017, 08:39:15 PM
We don't have any publications yet, because we have not started research yet.

This is why we are looking for funding.

This cannot be scam because people who invest in our Foundation will get our shares and will have the power to decide what we do.

I'm not talking about the company, I'm talking about the people. Where are the research papers that were published by your team members which demonstrates they are capable of doing meaningful research? This is absolutely a scam. Who cares if you get shares when it's a useless company? Why would anyone ever want to invest in a company that doesn't even have a team that is capable of doing what they claim. It's just garbage.
209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: FIRST AND ONLY ICO THAT ALLOWS TO EXCHANGE OF TOKENS FOR COMPANY SHARES! on: December 11, 2017, 11:37:04 PM
Where can I find your publications in reputable scientific journals? I'm having a hard time believing the team you put together has any significant contributions to the medical or life extension fields. This just looks like a scam disguised as something people wish would come true.
210  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Ledgers, Trezors and KeepKeys? We make our own! DIY guide! on: December 11, 2017, 01:27:34 AM
This contradicts the entire purpose of hardware wallets.
The point is that the private keys should never leave the device.
It's not even needed to use VeraCrypt as in your example, a simple, encrypted wallet.dat would work the same if not better.

Malware can steal your private key while it's used on your machine.
Again, the point of using a hardware wallet is isolating your private key from the outside.
The hardware wallet can only sign your transactions when asked to (and would ask for your confirmation for it).

A simple USB stick is not a hardware wallet.
It's exactly the same as any of the hardware wallets with funky marketing names.

It provides storage for data, it provides software for encryption, it is usually offline and it has to be connected to a computer to get decrypted and data become available for use. No private key has to leave the device. I can not even see any reason whatfor this would be required.

Those "hardware wallets" are in my opinion overrated, you depend on their services, which may be at any time become obsolete, and you may not be able to use it with other data/wallets other than they provide for you, for a small fee perhaps,

The VeraCrypt solution covers all security considerations and is open to any wallet and way beyond that. It just needs a little bit more of effort to set it up.

Just to be clear, your post is absolutely not the same as a hardware wallet. If you believe this, you don't understand how a hardware wallet works. I would suggest doing more research on how hardware wallets work before making claims that could leave other peoples coins vulnerable. It's irresponsible to make security claims that are not true.
211  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Huge price differences in trading. on: December 10, 2017, 10:46:12 PM
so you are the dumbest man that i have ever seen in this forum, bitcoin arbitrage is one of the most profitable things that a trader could do right now

You can easily make $1500 or a little bit more just for selling a whole bitcoin and then re-buy it back again

In my opinion, arbitrage in Bitcoin is not going to work, because of the high transaction fee.

Obviously that it is risky, but if you do not take risks, you are not going to earn a penny.

But with the blockchain saturated, there isn't many things that you can do, you need to pay $20 for fees, wait more than two hours to get it confirmed, it is all a hassle

Wow, this is simply not true. I don't know where you got your information from, but bitcoin arbitrage is not very profitable. The reason is because there is a massive market of arbitrage bots which are all trying to compete. This reduces any profits that would be made since they essentially collectively share the profits. The reason there is a difference between the prices at different exchanges is because of the fees and time it would take to transfer your coins in order to do arbitrage. It's not simply because people are lazy. There are thousands of people who have software that automates the process, so if they saw an opportunity they would take it. This means that the price difference between these exchanges is less than the cost to perform arbitrage.

I've created my own arbitrage software in the past and know very well that the market is competitive and the profits are small. Sure, there is a chance that you could get lucky with just the right swing of bitcoin prices to successfully make a lot of money in arbitrage, but you can't rely on luck when writing software. I also don't prefer to rely on luck while trading either, since relying on luck means you will probably be wrong just as much as you are right. Everything needs to be mathematically proven in order to even attempt the arbitrage.
212  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Any project ideas for these crypto related domains? on: December 10, 2017, 10:29:55 PM
I think this fad of people buying domains they don't know what to do with is strange. Why buy the domain if you don't already have an idea? People don't visit a domain because of the name. People visit a domain because of the product or service that is provided by the domain. You could have the domain ijijiji.com and people would still come to the domain if you had some incredible product.

However, given your current situation. Maybe it's time for you to open up a Bitcoin themed coffee shop. You could accept bitcoin as payment and serve Bitcoin themed cookies.

Other than the literal purpose of the "cafe" extension, I don't think I would trust going to that extension either.
213  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Seeking Advice on eBTCS on: December 10, 2017, 10:23:31 PM
I have a feeling this will be a quick pump and dump, so I would be careful with buying early. If you end up buying early, you will probably lose 50-70% of your value over the days since buying. I would personally wait for the dust to settle to get into the coin.

As far as the coin itself goes, I really don't see the technology as anything special and believe it will likely die within 2 months of release. I will personally not be buying BTCS.
214  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Proposal To All Miners, To Recover Lost coins. A New Modified Blockchain / Core on: December 10, 2017, 05:20:28 AM
You missed my main point. Sure, they could do it. I'm saying that even though they could, they never would. The reason is very simple. If they did, the value of Bitcoin would go to essentially 0. Nobody would want to be involved with a coin where the developers would implement something that could take coin from any persons wallet, no matter the reason for taking it. The large miners probably know this as well, so they would never support a coin that did this either. I don't believe there is a fork coming for such a feature because there are larger problems that Bitcoin is facing right now which will probably need to be resolved first.

never? can you tell "lost" vs. Stolen?

what happened with the 650.000 coins stolen from Mt.Gox ?
what are the larger problems facing right now that need to resolve first?

I don't understand your question. I have no interest in determining which coins are lost vs stolen. My point is that the blockchain developers are also not concerned with this issue because they would never implement something to determine which coins were lost or stolen on the blockchain. Theft is a criminal issue, that can be dealt with by law enforcement. It's not the job of the developers.

I don't know what happened to the Mt. Gox coins, and it really doesn't concern me or the point I am making.

Here are some of the larger issues:
  • Transaction Fees.
  • Transaction Times / Scalability.
  • Expanding the Infrastructure.

These are just a few.


Also, none of these links you provided demonstrate an ability to 100% prove that these bitcoins are in fact lost or stolen. Even the person in the Reddit thread stated his assessment was based on arbitrary criteria. There simply is no way to prove that a bitcoin is lost or stolen with absolute accuracy. However, I would be happy to review any mathematical proofs you have which would demonstrate such a feat.
215  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Proposal To All Miners, To Recover Lost coins. A New Modified Blockchain / Core on: December 10, 2017, 12:38:53 AM
i smell a split coming. LOL.

but seriously, if 51% of miners agree to take all you money, developers or not, they can.!
only people having independent Nodes, can avoid Miners stealing all the peoples money. LOL.

a reward for being a Node is more than useful.

why dont we just for a big group of cryptoeconomics, similar like current corporations? there is a thread nearby

What do you mean?

there was an m missing


why dont we just for[m] a big group of cryptoeconomics, similar like current corporations? there is a thread nearby

Still don't think I understand what you are trying to say.. can you rephrase please Smiley

joining many small projects into one huge project (something like the new market)


ahhh ok finally got you! do you have a link to the thread you mentioned?

there are many in this forum many small projects, we have to merge them into a big one.

Why would good app developers want to do this though? What benefit do the application developers have for combining their application with others? Good application developers will likely have stronger products than the weaker developers so they have no incentive to partnering with worse products. Also, what if one of the products is a scam? Then it makes the entire group of projects look bad. I would never partner with a bunch of random strangers online who I don't know if I can trust.
217  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Proposal To All Miners, To Recover Lost coins. A New Modified Blockchain / Core on: December 09, 2017, 11:44:04 PM
This will simply never happen. If the development team implements something that could take bitcoin away from a wallet, the blockchain becomes useless. The reason is that nobody would dare invest in something that the development team has free reign to decide who gets coins. The value would crash and everyone would leave to other coins.
218  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Launching New Coin: Experienced Dev Required on: December 09, 2017, 11:36:03 PM
Hi,

I am looking for someone who can help me launch my own coin. If you are interested, state your experience and skills.

Payment is negotiable.

Can you please explain your idea? I think there is this misconception that good engineers will just flock to you if you say you have an idea. They won't. What is your experience? What are your skills? Why should someone want to work with you?
219  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Reliable xchange software, scripts on: December 09, 2017, 11:33:04 PM
The only reliable code is code which you know how it works. I would advise you don't use ready made scripts for any sort of exchange. You need to know how the code works, you need to know how the security works, and you absolutely need to store your users coins in cold / air gaped storage. These scripts likely don't provide the security you will need and there is no excuse for compromising your users money. Not to mention the funds you will need to get the exchange up and running.
220  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BUY high sell low ? on: December 09, 2017, 11:17:24 PM
I have been searching all over to find a good bitcoin strategy because it seems to me that a good deal of money can be made from buying on every downswing.

However I still want to make sure there is a good method to what I am doing.

So I have two questions for everyone here.

1. Do you all have any good methods you have developed or seen for trading bitcoin?

2. I found this strategy does anything think this will work?

https://tradingstrategyguides.com/best-bitcoin-trading-strategy/

Thanks everyone!



This trading sounds interesting, but not exactly practical. How would you calculate the OBV? It's not exactly easy to calculate with a distributed cryptocurrency. My opinion is that if you are just getting into trading the best strategies are the simple ones. Things like SMA / EMA crossover, Bollinger Bands, and RSI are easy to understand and have a long history of success. I would start with those and then work your way up to better trading strategies. Even designing your own strategies would be practical once you start to understand more about different indicators and testing over sample datasets.

If you want to try backtesting some of these simple strategies, I made an application that you can use to test these strategies and then set up bots. It's free, so you don't need to worry about signing up or anything.

If you try it out, let me know what you think. We are constantly adding new features, so check back frequently for updates.
