201  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Zcash worth to invest in it? on: November 20, 2016, 04:49:00 AM
Never invest in zcash, it is very shady, you know.  Angry  The founder team gets free 20% reward which I assume it is unfair, I would rather they have an ico to investors, not such a shady behaviour, to reserve every 20% share of mined coins, it is same as premine coins. And polo pumped it to 3300 btc at launch, definitely an insider trading

I would still go with a 20% founder reward like what Zcash or Zcoin has compared to a full POS ico AND the founders holding another 10% of the coins released before the software is even released. This also gives an incentive in their own currency (and not USD or Bitcoin) to keep on working.

We can argue that the 20% is a bit too high, but still better compared to the rest of the schemes.

I agree with you, too high but similar scheme to other projects reserve with incentives, which is acceptable, I am just angry about too high reserve. But this is free market, we can't control people buy or sell, I just remind those who as well think this is too high and unfair

thx for cheap coin guys  Grin


Yes Thank You.  



You lucky bird.  Grin   today's all time low you caught it, and now is 11k, more than 10% profit, great. I predict 10k is the new floor, since bitcoin huge pump, stratis corrected the price, losers panic sell, that is why 10k was happened. They are bad traders, sell low, buy high. They make Stratis believers rich.

Tutorial: How to store your Stratis wallet in an uncrackable encrypted file container like a boss

If you have read Stratis weekly 3 you know how to safely store your wallet (read it here: http://stratisplatform.com/2016/11/02/how-to-securely-hold-strat-stratis-weekly-3/)

This is an easy to use basic guide for an extra layer of encryption that can't be cracked by even the best government agencies. For those who want to be extra careful with leaving backups laying around in plain sight, or if you are afraid of losing it while you take a backup with you I suggest you use the open source encryption tool called VeraCrypt (get it here https://veracrypt.codeplex.com)
After installation open the program and click the "Create Volume" button, then create an encrypted file container by pressing "Next".
A Standard VeraCrypt file is very good for creating an uncrackable file so click "Next" again.

Then select the location and filename you want to store it before copying it to various physical or digital places. You can basically use any file format you want for this. As a random suggestion you can name the file "haha.mp3"
Why name it as an .mp3 file? Because nobody will ever expect it to have your precious Stratis coins inside (or other digital gold)

It is strongly adviced to use 3-cascades algorithm like "(AES(Twofish(Serpent))" and as hash algorithm SHA-512 for MAXIMUM security and encryption.
Press "Next" when done. A filesize of 10 MB is more than enough to store multiple cryptocoins inside. Even 1 MB is enough for a backup of the Stratis wallet. Click "Next"

Read the guide in the program for a good password. Now select your password and double type it as confirmation. Click "Next"
Move your mouse as randomly possible within the program to generate an increased cryptographic strength of the encryption key until the red bar turns full into the color green until the end. Press "Format"

Encryption will begin and you will get a message in screen that it was created successful.

How to load the encrypted file container (and store your file in it)
Go back to the VeraCrypt program and select a drive letter. Select the encrypted file "haha.mp3" in this case and click "Mount"

Type your password and select "OK"
It will load the encrypted file container and now you can access the selected drive letter on your computer. Copy your Stratis wallet.dat inside it and after that click "Dismount"

Congratulations! You now have a maximum encrypted wallet as backup that you can store anywhere AND take with you. In case you lose the copy you don't have to worry about it.
And as always make multiple backups and do not forget any password Wink


Great article, the unbreakable password will make hackers headache, and

REMEMBER: don't download files, or open any unknown link from email or see elsewhere.

It will control your computer by remote control virus or plant a keylogger in your computer, if you got that, the most complex password will still be stolen.

Temporary ban that will be lifted in 48 hrs.
Also, you did not get banned for saying the above. It was because of repetitive trolling and baseless statements.

That not true Dev0tion, i was banned instantly after being insulted for writing that. But i understand you defending them, cause you are almost part of the team (in fact surprise surprise you, who i mentions in my post before, are now defending them trying to make me to appear a troll. Someone not part or close to the team could be consider more impartial. you are part of the debate. What i wrote and how i wrote it i am sure doesnt seem trolling to anyone.



I have been around from the beginning. Chris is a great hard working and loving guy. He has best intentions for the whole community, has proved this over and over again. Especially this weekend. I haven’t been on the general and trading Slack today (that’s a new for me). But I know Chris enough from the last few weeks that he wouldn’t do this without a legitime reason. So I will defend him, cause he has proven to be tolerant over and over again. Even when there where really guys I would have banned already. I will read the Slack tonight and see what happened, but you probably deserved it. Also I just can't disagree more on you with the he isn't professional. He is probably the most professional guy in crypto as a CEO, always delivers his promises (even faster then expected). He never let's us down, and shows that he cares about the investors as well.

You also say the following:

extremely happy and not able too sleep when Stratis reached 8 millions capitalization

Well yeah seems logical right? Who wouldn't be happy if his project goes faster then expected, that's huge news!

He didn't sleep because there was 8 million on the line for us as investors. He couldn't sleep because this is a lot of money and he is responsible for it. He worked all night and didn't sleep to fix this. All completely good things.

Exactly, I like compare Chris with sasha, Chris has no social account, don't like sasha, said non sense in twitter. In waves slack, many were banned and they said nothing worse. But stratis never banned people before, now don't say dump in general channel, or other negative words would never be banned.

Just wondering where do we check how much BTC raise so far ARK , thanks!

You can always check the most accurate data here : https://tec.ark.io/ ( it gets updated every 5-10 minutes). You can also check addresses directly here :

BTC : https://blockchain.info/address/3A8TEQ9dNPnJyG3BHyNERPbgZpE5DqvFeY
LISK :  https://explorer.lisk.io/address/9569486828221897676L

We need another 20% and this project is a GO! Can we do it? Yes we can with your help - thank you!

20% is not easy because 120% bonus is over, people who want to invest have invested. We need more investor out of lisk community, you see only 100 btc right now. Most of investment is from Lisk. It is a challenge to persuade other investors, but i think you will get the money of minimum threshold.
207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: | STRATIS | The first blockchain developed for businesses |Full POS on: November 12, 2016, 12:55:04 AM
13K ATH, great news, we will have first release in next week, the team is delivering and makes people trust them, amazing work. No.27 at CMC, http://coinmarketcap.com/

I was patient when it ranked out of 50th, I will have much more patience when it ranks top 30, top 20, I believe this is a top 5 project, even NO.3, just ranks behind BTC&ETH
208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][TokenSale Live][JNS] Janus|Blockchain secured global business on: November 11, 2016, 04:24:22 PM
Looks interesting, a few questions:

1. is there any threshold for kick start the project? And an upper limit?
2. social campaign is in TVE, best choice there, easy to manage the campaign and eliminate the spammers there, but now there are more and more spammers there.
3. Asset on ardor, escrowed by nxt community, do you accpet nxt and ardor investment? Or only btc payment? OP is too long I didn't read a lot.
209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: | STRATIS | The first blockchain developed for businesses |Full POS on: November 09, 2016, 05:56:02 AM
I regret i didnt buy more in ico, i wish i had much more money so i could buy 5 million in ico.   Cry
210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ICONOMI - Fund Management Platform on: November 07, 2016, 02:54:15 AM
Maybe this dump happen cause people want money to invest in Ark.

But the price still stable!

I think this dump is still from bounty hunters, they have 2 million bounty iconomi tokens, a few dumped above 20k sat, which was rough ico price. And some others are dumping below ico price because their tokens are free(or earned from daily forum posting, tweeting, fb posting) Also some weak hands dumped with losses, I wait for their chips at 10k or lower. And then Enjoy big profits next year. Grin
211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: | STRATIS | The first blockchain developed for businesses |Full POS on: November 07, 2016, 02:43:20 AM
The price is stable now, new floor is 7k sat, although last time people dumped at 6.5k sat lowest, it still did not destroy strong stratis. Good news from UK, Freya and Dan are in conference, talk about stratis to public, awesome news. Happy staking guys, the volume decreases but the price is not down, good sign.


212  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How long will signature campaigns last? on: November 05, 2016, 04:34:13 AM
I feel that it is time for us to discuss about this matter. How long do you people thinks that Bitcointalk signature campaigns will last?

Bitcoin will be hitting its peak and probably surpass it very soon looking at the current rate. Which means that more people will be joining us in investing Bitcoin. This mean that there will be a huge changes in the signature campaigns community.

I feel that the number of signature campaigns will be greatly reduced once Bitcoin reaches a new height because it is much efficient to just start a advertisement campaign on popular AD networks like A-ads and MellowAds or even Google Adsense.

I would say it will last very long term, at least 5 years. Unless bitcoin is dead or the forum bans any form of signature campaigns, which these two do highly unlikely happen.

Firstly, I compare the price, Ad networks like google adsense is expensive than signature campaign, and can be cheated on ad clicking. I remember one click can earn 0.5-2 eur when I cheated in google adsense network, google earns money too, so one click of ad will need 1-4 euros fee IMO. It will be very expensive way to promote.

Secondly, btc companies/service providers have their specific potential customers, most of them are in the forum, not in the whole internet world.
213  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] DECENT Announcement - Decentralizing Content Distribution on: November 04, 2016, 05:48:47 PM
Why ICO and bounty DECENT release on March 2017 ?

Yes, same question from me

anyone can help?

So that people like you will not crash the price for the real investors.

Yes. It is one reason, the team is protecting ico investors, they fear the bounty hunters dump the coin below ico price, this will damage the decent's reputation, look at iconomi, after the bounty dump, the price is still under ico price.

Second reason, the main net is not releasing so early, it will release in next year, therefore impossible to distribute the bounty in this year.
214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][GNT] Golem Project - The world’s most powerful supercomputer on: November 02, 2016, 04:47:36 AM
I'm also waiting for the ICO! Will Golem development take that long to implement? Will investors see roi within a reasonable time frame?

Longest time frame is 48 months from their road map, and that will only happen when they raise 800k eth, it is very large amount of fund. It is not easy to raise so much fund. In my opinion, this project will not attract so much fund. But 200k is reasonable for them, 800k is very unlikely.
215  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: | STRATIS | The first blockchain developed for businesses |Full POS on: October 31, 2016, 05:48:44 PM
IGNORE ALL NEGATIVE BANTER, STRAT IS GOING TO INFINITY AND BEYOND AND NEVER LOOKING BACK!

I fully agree with you dude. When we see many people said that the price will be lower than now, I tend to ignore them. Why? I don't wanna be panic, we can't let them get cheap coins, i refuse to pay them cheap coins, I will stake and hodl my coins. Because I know stratis is an awesome coin, polo is near, moon is near, top 10 is not a dream, top 5 may come true in next year. Very confident, that is why i still hodl and keep buying since ico.
216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] Incent: The first universal, merchant-backed loyalty platform on: October 30, 2016, 05:53:22 AM
Not sure if this had been asked before.
will the investors get their money back if the target amount 5M USD won't be achieved?

Giving some thought towards investing in this project. Could anyone tell me what the available supply will be?

Total supply will be double of the number of sold incent tokens.
Thanks for chipping in, that's absolutely right!

We will sell Incent tokens up to a cap of USD 5m. In the end, we will issue double the amount of sold Incent tokens (see here why). Currently, we are at 17.65m sold Incent.

the value of the coin will drop if its going to be double, won't it?

5m is the target, not the threshold, if 5m not achieved, the project also continues, so don't confuse incent with inchain, inchain will only continue the project if they raise 1.75m minimum, their names are similar but totally different projects.

"the value of the coin will drop if its going to be double, won't it?" The value is fixed when we buy in incent site, will not drop if it is going to double, but the market cap will be doubled.

Nice jump on stratis this past 2 days . Keep on rallying because of azure news. Go Stratis .

Azure ubuntu VM node is just a start with microsoft, they will implement more products there. Like I said before, stratis is the best ico project in this year, it is sustainablely going up, not like lisk, awesome launch, but worse result so far. Stratis didn't get hyped, it keeps low profile, it is the key of success.
218  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: | STRATIS | The first blockchain developed for businesses |Full POS on: October 27, 2016, 05:40:17 AM
Has Bittrex been hacked? I don't keep any money on any exchange, but I seems like someone drained Leon Fu's account balance.

yes, on twitter he has posted about it  100% correct.  https://twitter.com/leoncfu  
but one thing is for sure, this dude will of had 2FA. So unless they had the 2fa key, to reset the password, not sure how this could of happened.

Anyone here needs to follow Bittrex on twitter. They have been posting for days for people to make sure they have 2FA enabled.
https[Suspicious link removed]xchange

And that many people are reporting password changes they did not make.

As soon as i buy STRATIS is get moved to my desktop wallet and then it gets staked.  I have ZERO Stratis on Bittrex.  
I highly recommend everyone here  does the same, especially if you are not trading and the precious $STRAT is sitting there gathering dust, when it could be put to work in the mines and earning you rewards every day!

IMPORTANT:
Do NOT click any links here, in Bitcoin Talk, clicking links is still the #1 way to get keyloggers and such.
Same with emails. Always go direct to the source.

IF you get an email from your bank, go directly and log into your bank.
if you get a email from paypal - go directly to paypal
if you get an email from the King of Nigeria saying they want to give you millions...... Go to Nigeria and see the King!
(kidding about this last one but you get my point)

Thanks for your info, i clicked some links in my current computer, it seems i need to buy a new one for staking, for the best security. I am afraid of hacker and hate them. They are negative to the crypto.

2FA is definitely the must when you have serious money on the exchanges. Fortunately Mr.Fu said he lost a small amount of btc, not much money nor stratis.
219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ICONOMI - Fund Management Platform on: October 25, 2016, 04:52:01 PM
So weird, why still only liqui. Will bittrex list it?
220  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][KMD][dPoW] Komodo ICO - Zcash Zero Knowledge Privacy Secured by Bitcoin on: October 24, 2016, 11:31:47 PM
It will be cheaper to buy KMD after the ICO.

Most coins (that had ICO recently) are cheaper when launched at exchange especially the coin is launched on exchange just after ICO. see the likes of Waves , Rise, Singulardtv etc.

The market is too saturated with ICO. Those days are gone when only a handful of invester knew about the ICO and the rest of the traders only find out about the coin when it hits exchange.  The situation is vastly different now. Lot of promotion of coins during ICO. everyone know about every ICO.  So no one is buying at exchange when it launches. it is hard to find new buyers in two weeks time so there is no fomo when it launch at exchange.  Investors get disappointed when the price just hover around ICO after launch and the ICO flippers dump at loss causing the price to go well below ICO.

So that's when you buy the coin if you believe in it. Not in the ICO. it only makes Dev & his shills richer. Dev has already said that the amount raised is sufficient for the project. If a reasonable amount of BTC is raised it keeps dev honest and motivated to raise the price of his stake (10% premined). if the ICO gets bloated Dev is already rich. he does not need to do anything for the investors after ICO.

It is right, for example singulardtv is a huge ico, raised $7.6 million in 15 minutes, but after hitting on exchanges, the price plummeted, the price is still under ico now. Buy after ico is a wise choice, especially all the ico markets are saturated and overpriced now. Unless we buy an undervalued ico, like stratis, only raised 915 btc(they should have raised 5-10k btc) and now is 5.5X of ICO price.
