I would be scared, why not? they are censoring content heavily. To quote the late great Thomas Jefferson "He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither." Thomas Jefferson also said: "He who gives his freedom for safety gets none of them". As long as your fine giving up your liberties they will continue to strip them away. I feel for the content providers who have spent hard work through blood sweat and tears making those tutorials and educational videos, because it will now be in vain.

Hi.I think that without expensive signature campaign here its too difficult to find investors for new project like my.
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ccuniverse - we are new and rising, now we want start developing so need 2nd part of funds (1st we decide to spend on nice exchange to be ranked and dont be ico anymore because its have only negative conotations now).

What are You suggest me ? I think because bounty hunters people are tired here to get new coins and also because of many scamms in past... its hard to attract anyone here - am I wrong ?
I need some new enthusiasts of crypto to build holders army and people.

Actually here in [ANN] I answered with full story telling and data, in effect person which asked even not respond or just gone. I know we havent bad project and  our situation is positive for potential buyers but we need a source to get to them.


Agreed, without the backbone of community support, a campaign will fall to the ground and never get off of it's feet. Bounty hunters are an integral part of the community. It isn't just for the money, as many campaigns never pay what is promised. I say to you, reap the benefits of having bounty campaigns now, regardless if they are shitty campaigns or not, because in the future, when the market volume and prices rise steadily for Bitcoin and altcoin, more and more people will be joining this forum and searching for bounty campaigns like never before. If you thought that the pay was low now, wait until the scene is flooded from all the Libra users who will just be discovering cryptocurrency for the first time. The bar will be so high that the payouts won't be worth it for lower ranks.
  Believe it or not, there was once a time when a newbie could make bank just be joining and participating in remedial tasks within a bounty campaign, not so much now. A newbie could easily become a legendary rank back then with active posts, hard work and dedication, but the newbies abused the forum by flooding it with spam and low quality posts, thus the merit system was introduced.

The lengths that the feminine principle takes for the pursuit of vanity, at the cost of their own lives sometimes. Unfortunately vanity is a great emptiness, the result of pride and egotism. Women are hardwired to be empty and vain, it's in their genetic makeup. Thus all women by nature are a temptress, a whore, a lover, a mother. In Greek mythology Hephaestus created the first woman, to stop man from reaching God-hood.
Men were masters of self back then, the masculine was embodied within the feminine in almost perfect unity. No women were needed but women were created to stir trouble and cause strife so man would could never ascend.

Hello friends. All of you know about the BCNEX (Exchange) project.

Within 7 days, the withdrawal is no longer available. I tried to turn to those support however they did not want to give my ETH. Many people also cannot withdraw money now.
I began to understand this question and understood. The project has run out of money and withdrawal is not available.


In no case do not invest in IEO on this platform !!!

One wallet - No money BCNEX
0x503b444a2b2d95b501c78d99d2302c75154e0e1d !



My 2.6 eth block . But I managed to bring 33 USDT

Transaction Details
0x93f3d2873289ed5c240d245f7b1db3c96be5f40b42feda75d44a7b26b61f595b

Tomorrow I will post some screenshots. On this issue.

!!! Scam Alert !!!
I doubt that BCNEX exchange is a complete scam, but you never know, are there any proofs provided for these claims? Did you ever send in your (KYC) Know Your Customer compliance information? a lot of exchanges are cracking down due to regulatory pressure from SEC and other governmental bodies around the world. Is it legal to have a BCNEX account within your country? Some countries may be prohibited from using certain exchanges. Maybe you should provide more information friend!

Be extremely careful supporting projects from any country that is outside of your own. Research your country's laws and practice your Due Diligence. A guy from the U.S just got arrested for teaching citizens of North Korea about different Blockchains and cryptocurrencies.

"The prominent hacker and Ethereum developer Virgil Griffith was arrested by the US government Friday after he spoke at an April conference on blockchain technologies in North Korea. The US government considers his presentation to be a transfer of technology—and therefore a violation of US sanctions."

206  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO/IEO projects are lying to airdrop and bounty participants for a long time! on: December 14, 2019, 01:57:09 PM
One thing that I really do not like about ICOs, IEOs, etc., is that they are misleading us for a very long time when it comes to the token price.

For example, there's one airdrop event in which you will receive an amount of tokens worth $10, $20, etc., and bounty rewards which you can get $50 worth of tokens for participating in a signature campaign.

But here's a harsh truth where ICOs and IEOs are lying to us for most of the time.

How can we say if the airdrop or bounty reward is exactly $50 where it can even get dumped in exchanges?

There is no guarantee that the airdrop and bounty tokens we receive are "fixed amounts" (unless if it's a stablecoin or popular one like BTC, ETH, XRP, etc.)

So here is my advice to all ICOs and IEOs when you are doing airdrop and bounty program to participants.

Don't say "$50 worth of tokens". But rather say "$50 worth of tokens in ICO/IEO price", so that people like me may be aware that the reward we get is not what we expect. There is 99.99% chance that the reward we get are going down to shit, and only 0.01% chance that it would actually go to the moon!

So to all ICOs and IEOs please, just stop lying to us about this!

I know most of you here can relate to this situation after so many months/years of participating in airdrops and bounty opportunities.

Does any of the airdroppers and bounty hunters agree or not with my statement? Feel free to comment here!




It is very foolish to take the value of bounty campaign rewards seriously, unless their offering a well establish coin like Bitcoin or any of the others as rewards. Anybody can make a coin and say it's worth this much or that much. These prices predictions for payouts aren't truly reflective to the situations a startup could face, which leads to failure in meeting the projected demands. A lot of these bounty participants live spread out across remote regions of the world, from countries that are wealthy, to countries that are dirt poor, making it an easy way to trick newbies who will take on just about any bounty with a promise of a monetary gain, Just to end up working in a bounty campaign for nothing.
   One should practice their Due Diligence, spending the time researching before expecting an airdrop (handout) or a bounty campaign to make good on it's promises. If it sounds too good to be true, maybe it is?
I learned this one the hard way and I still fall into it's pit often, "a fool and his money are soon parted"
 
207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Useless projects! on: December 14, 2019, 01:19:12 PM
Hello, I would like to know which projects have really achieved their goals after an ICO/IEO/ITO. Is there a page or statistics about it?
Your asking for an awful lot. That kind of information could be highly valuable statistically speaking. It would take a long time of research to watch and track a companies entire history from startup fundraiser to current positions and future trajectories.
  A simpler way to find out would be to go on coinmarketcap and go down the list of coins with the highest market volume and prices. You well probably have to check charts as well to be sure a startup is truly successful.
208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are stablecoins a definite solution against a bear market? on: December 14, 2019, 12:51:00 PM
In a dreaded bear market that's lasts a long time, do you think that stablecoins are the definite solution for preserving one's investments?

So far, there has been a few stablecoins like Tether and NuBits which have gone lower than $1 at rare occasions. For investors depending on stablecoins as safe-haven assets against a bear market, this brings some disappointment. Still, stablecoins are able to retain their value against the USD most of the times. If they remain as is, then one could simply pour money into stablecoins to protect yourself against a long-lasting bear market. If prices for cryptocurrencies on the market go even lower than usual, you can even sell your stablecoins back into crypto to get more coins for your money. But this might turn to be extremely risky in a volatile crypto market.

What are your thoughts? Huh
Stablecoins are a godsend. It was only a matter of time until a system such as Tethers would be made. Stablecoins really make day trading so much easier. Trading with coin pairs against a stable coin works exceptionally well when your trading with bots. The price of the stablcoins can waiver sometimes though, losing a few cents from it's original position but overall your balance remains utterly stable. I didn't get serious about trading until stablecoins became the normal thing.
209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: There is a better alternative to Bitcoin and why not use it? on: December 14, 2019, 12:30:41 PM
I'm afraid this simply isn't true. If Bitcoin prices were for some reason to fall and collapse as of today, the entire market of altcoins like digibyte will go collapse as well. If you check the market caps, you would see that when Bitcoin thrives, the majority of altcoins thrive, and vice-versa.
   Digibyte has a big community behind it and receives good development but Bitcoin is the foundation upon which other cryptocurrencies were built, if the foundation crumbles, it all falls down.

The private company Spacex is getting ready to move the passengers from Earth to Moon by the year 2025 and also he mentioned that they will move 1 Million people to Mars and create the first civilization of Mars along with himself.

Do you believe this will become possible in the next five year? Or just a sci-fiction story!
Believe it brother, private corporations like SpaceX will most likely if given the licensing and permission, be the new pioneers of the future of Space. If you've ever seen the movie Prometheus by: Ridley Scott, corporations like Weyland (from the movie) play a role with helping push humanity forward in order to expand our learning and discovery to the never ending regions of space.Could space really be the final frontier?
211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Crypto/Blockchain hype over? on: December 13, 2019, 01:22:43 PM
With ever-declining prices on the crypto market since 2018, there has been a decline in the number of ICOs and the emergence of new crypto projects within the mainstream world. 2017 was believed to be the golden year of crypto and Blockchain technology as people invested massively across the market. Crypto startups, companies, and businesses have been largely successful since then. Due to the hype, we've seen many projects come up with a Blockchain solution for nearly anything in life. But the truth is that Blockchain is not needed for absolutely everything.

It's today, and there seems to be a decline in crypto interest among people in the mainstream world. The number of crypto startups and companies have been reduced too. Does this mean that the crypto/Blockchain hype is finally over? Or is it still going on?

What are your thoughts? Huh
2017 was the simply the height of an over inflated and unregulated market that was bound to crash. The $20,000 bubble was going to pop. People were dumping their savings accounts and taking money out against their own houses in order to invest. Then came the crash, all of the band-wagoners and speculators came from afar and the volume raised as high as it did, Then pop! The price deflated and is currently still in recovery self correcting itself.
212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why I think Libra Coin will Win on: December 13, 2019, 12:18:42 PM
Hi

Firstly I would like to say I don't care about one coin from another. All I want is utility. I want to be able to pay someone for services rendered.

THAT'S ALL I CARE ABOUT.. I have no loyalty to any coin.

I don't have a Facebook account. But I'm going to get one because of Libra.

I see a business opportunity with Libra and that's that. Some business opportunity bear fruit some don't. You could say that's my own business which I'm not going to discuss here.

OK.. Why will Libra be a game changer.

Because over night millions of people who have no understanding of coins are suddenly going to. And developers are going swarm to Libra..

AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY USE LIBRA.


Let me ask you this, do you actually use a coin? Do you ask for a service and pay for that service or product with any coins. I would bet you don't. Some may. And good on them. But the vast majority here ( bitcointalk ) don't. ( I maybe wrong)

But people are going to use Libra. Its not investment. Its a tool. A stable tool.

That other day I used Iota as a tool. And it worked for me. I asked for a service and received a service. And I payed for that service in Iota.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5207820.msg53286995#msg53286995


I was lucky, I found a person with a skill set and the ability to accept payment in the currency I had. Iota...

Soon millions of people with  the skill set I need will be able and willing to accept payment from me.

Libra may not be a game changer for you. But it is for me.
Libra is set to revolutionize the adoption of cryptocurrency. I think this is one of the most riskiest but straight forward approach by a social media corporation to jump head first into a new financial tech innovation. To dive right into a sea made up of heavily grey areas of law, but risk being the first to navigate such a frontier and possibly come out on top! Facebook is poised to be the 1st of it's kind to try and capture the new crypto market by the balls. If Facebook could pull it all off with Libra, the world would be educated in and utilizing cryptocurrency.
  As of right now, I couldn't explain simply the Blockchain and cryptocurrency to my grand parents if I tried. But if their favored congressman or celebrity/social influencer promoted it, they would be ecstatic. I believe that Facebook has this kind of influence and pull over the people on a global scale. How many women use Instagram or WhatsApp? How many people will use the Occulus rift once it works out all of it's kinks? Facebook is is heading in the right direction God speed!  Cool
213  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really still decentralized?? on: December 12, 2019, 01:23:56 PM
Yes to a degree of course. The current developers have had quite the few disagreements in the past which has happen to split the chain during the past hard-fork. Other than the numerous hard-forks that have taken place over the past few years, Bitcoin seems to be recovering quite well from it's 2017's pump/bubble fiasco. I think Bitcoin still remains decentralized in honor of Satoshi Nakamotos original plan to keep things knowingly transparent and open source. If it wasn't for Bitcoin and Block-chains decentralization, there wouldn't be any other similar projects around right now.
214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would You Trust Libra Coin With Your Money? on: December 12, 2019, 12:49:40 PM
100% absolutely because Libra is a project developed by Mark Zuckerberg, the face and creator behind Facebook the worlds largest social media platform. Mark was just a regular Joe who borrowed an idea
originally belonging to the Gemini twins of terror (Winklevoss bros.) and expanded upon it making it as of today a global phenomenon amongst every day social media usage. Facebook has partnerships with Occulus Rift, WhatsApp, and of course last but no least Instagram (for the babes).
215  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Beginner needs advice for portfolio on: December 12, 2019, 12:21:32 PM
Hi everyone im new to investing in crypto.
I have informed myself quiet a bit in the last weeks and constructed a portfolio with 10 coins / tokens.
Since most coins are way under their average worth i bet on a big rise at least to their old average or maybe to their last ATH.

This would be the portfolio:

1. Bitcoin
2. Ethereum
3. Ripple
4. LiteCoin
5. Cardano
6. IOTA
7. TEZOS
8. ChainLink

For the last 2 Coins to complete the portfolio i need your help.
I thought about those coins:

1. EOS (because China)
2. TRON (because China)
3. Waves (Russia)
4. VeChain
5. Steem (Very low atm compared to average / ATH)
6. Energi

Since i only want to include 10 cryptos for reasons of simplicity i dont want to inlcude them all.

I am not a day trader. I want to hold the coins wait for old ATH or new ATHs and then sell.

I am really interested in your opinion. Thanks in advance.
[Disclaimer] "This post does not constitute legal or financial advice. I am not a lawyer or financial advisory. I am here just to post my opinion about the topic of this thread. If seeking legal or financial advice, please consult with your local professional."

In my opinion, I believe that EOS & TRON have the most suitable potential to have a decent future. Bitcoin was the first generation of cryptocurrency. Ethereum happens to be the second, with it's introduction to tokens and smart contracts. EOS is the Third generation of Blockchain with it's introduction to shaded scaling and delegated proof of stake consensus algorithm. Tron is a rehashed version of EOS, created by the might Justin Sun. It is the latest in Blockchain technology and has big and open community as well as a myriad of support from app developers.
  Remember to practice your Due diligence before making any major investment decisions.

Just my two cents!
216  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: A Planet-to-Planet Electronic Cash System on: December 12, 2019, 12:01:37 PM
As far as I know, we are currently a single planet civilization, and will probably be that way until they're able to provide a successful campaign from Mars (closest known planet) leading back to Earth. We can easily travel to mars if we send people today, with an average time span of 6 months travel give or take. The problem relies on getting back however. There is no possible way to get home, and any travelers to Mars will most likely end up being permanent residents.
 So, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is currently not interstellar or interplanetary in any way for that matter. It is planetary though but only available for those with access to the internet. SO still it's highly limited. It's god to remain optimistic. No harm in believing! Wink
217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Warning for newbies on: December 12, 2019, 11:45:54 AM
Newbies needs to be prepared for this coming new year, scammers will try to take advantage of that year because bitcoin halving is already dropping the HYPE in crypto space  already, Learn to do research better, not all bad results in crypto are because a project failed, mostly are because of lack of research, with no good research you can easily fall for scam projects.

1) Do better research on new projects before promoting them or investing a penny on them

2) Visit scam accusation thread on the forum time to time, it will safe you a lot too

3) If you you have to invest always invest what you can afford to lose.

Ethereum just had the Hardfork a few days ago, now is the time to be extremely cautious, the better the innovation, the smarter the scammer tend to be. I expected that within this new sector of finance dealing wit hBitcoin and cryptocurrency, their were bound to be a numerous amount of scams floating around. This should be expected, the market is really unregulated and the year of 2017 proves that. How else could the market price pump to $20,000 taking the altcoins on the ride with it, only to deflate indefinitely? Now we wait patiently for the price to recover and finish correcting itself. It's going on two years now, almost 3.
218  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Which wallet is best for ERC20 tokens? on: December 11, 2019, 02:19:27 PM
It is good if it is web based, i.e. similar to blockchain.com. Otherwise, installation makes it machine dependent. Its not a BIG sum. So, high security is not a priority. Ease of use is what I am looking for. Needs to work with all kind of ERC20.
The best and most secure wallet available for Ethereum and Bitcoin would probably be the Trezor hardware wallet. With it, you have in your very hands secured private keys safe from harm's way.
  The second would be Myetherwallet, a wallet that is very secure and is available offline in paper form. With this wallet you also have safe and secure access to your private keys.
219  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think of the current status of Bitcoin? on: December 11, 2019, 02:00:08 PM
Hi, all!

I just wanted to ask what you think we as a community achieved in 2019.

For me every year and every day has been amazing and awesome!!

Although, there are many issues with Bitcoin but considering what it was in 2016 what it is now? Bitcoin is known! Why?

If I only think about the Fiat value of Bitcoin now and what it was 4 years back there is a huge upward swing.
If I think about its adoption then and now there are so many websites accepting Bitcoin.
If I think about Is Bitcoin a Ponzi Scheme there are so many articles arguing Bitcoin legitimacy to those MLM schemes.
If I think about how difficult was to understand this concept, there are amazing articles on the Internet to help you.

I know there are so many reasons but, I cannot recall all of those.

Write it down below if I have missed something.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have seem to have stagnated as of late. Bitcoin is stuck around $7500 per coin. It's having a difficult time crossing the threshold of and staying above the $8000 price mark.
 The best thing to do is to remain optimistic,  hoping for a successful and bright future.
220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 10 Reasons Why Bitcoin Is Strong Today And Will Continue To Grow on: December 11, 2019, 01:37:40 PM
No one knows for sure (with any degree of certainty) what the future holds for bitcoin. Having said that, most will agree that the future is bright.

Here are 10 reasons why Bitcoin is strong today and will continue to grow:

1. Bitcoin introduced blockchain technology for the rest of the world to utilize.
2. Bitcoin itself is a protocol that will continually evolve.
3. Acceptance (Bitcoin is only 10 years old!)
4. Much of the developed world where payment systems that enable instantaneous person-to-person payment are not available, would love to adopt Bitcoin.
5. Volatility will minimize as the public at large becomes less sensitive to everything the media spews out and as more users adopt it.
6. As larger corporations start offering Bitcoin as a payment alternative, smaller companies waiting in the shadows will jump on the bandwagon.
7. The market capitalization of Bitcoin indicates that the currency is now too big to collapse (and is backed by the trust of its users).
8. The buying process of Bitcoin will be made much simpler than it is at present by exchanges, corporations, and developers.
9. Bitcoin will be featured regularly in the remittance world and by travelers and travel agencies alike.
10. Bitcoin is universal and globally recognized as a store of value.


Agree? Disagree? What your thoughts on the growth of bitcoin now and in the future?
I agree, those are some pretty good and valid points that you've made. I think if the adoption and market growth continues to slowly increase overtime, a natural growing uptrend may occur. The market price is stagnated around $7500 for so, unable to rise above its current plateau.
