Diversification is a must in any investment really, you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.

This doesn't mean that you should spend your money everywhere without doing any research though. The projects must be rock solid with a good roadmap and a strong team otherwise It's not different then investing everything you have in one alt.

Easier to use Eidoo wallet, you can download in playstore.
but I prefer to use Imtoken on my phone and myetherwallet on the desktop.

Eidoo might be a good looking app but It's not open source so you shouldn't really suggest it. Because who knows? they could possibly store our seeds and private keys in their servers.
263  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Rootstock - Smart contracts for bitcoin, is it to be trusted? on: July 31, 2018, 02:43:37 PM
A quick look to their partners:

BTC.com
Antpool
Bitmain
Bitpay
Xapo
Bitcoin India

If you're familiar with these companies, you would know that they have done in the past and they are not to be trusted. I'm not familiar with their other partners but regardless, do you believe Rootstock is a project that one should invest in and actually use?
264  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [iMerits] Why do some coins fork from the Bitcoin chain? on: July 30, 2018, 04:06:34 PM
I don't believe that forks are done because the bitcoin blockchain is less complex then the other coins or because its easier to play with. Bitcoin have a strong community and so this is made on purpose. When someone see what's called 'A better version of bitcoin', he'll invest hoping he'll be an early adopter.

What is not taken in consideration by the community however, is that these projects don't have competent developers so they'll fail to deliver and even If they did, these developers clearly don't care about anything but money because If they were here for the technology and wanted to help build a better bitcoin, they would've invested their time and knowledge to make pull requests in the original bitcoin repository, there is no reason for core developers to deny them.
265  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Which bitcoin core version is best for Merchant website on: July 30, 2018, 03:53:05 PM
Start bitcoind with -deprecatedrpc=accounts as they said, that should work.

and to answer your question, no. You won't necessarily need to change your code after each release.
266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereum and POS on: July 30, 2018, 03:12:18 PM
I had plans to start mining Ethereum at the end of 2017 but I then read that Ethereum was going to change to Proof of stake so mining would be useless and I didn't want to invest in graphic cards that I may not need. So, is this still in process or has been canceled?
267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think it makes sense to get bitcoin? How exactly does mining take place? on: July 30, 2018, 02:18:47 PM
I'm not sure I get the mining part but yes, it make a lot of sense to buy a coin (bitcoin in this case) that have a strong userbase, very decentralized, pretty much the ability to buy everything (through third parties if needed) etc. then buying altcoin then have no purpose.
268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ICO] Bitclave - Decentralized Search ★ November 29 ICO ★ on: July 30, 2018, 11:00:47 AM
Here is a little advice for everyone here (I'm hodling Bitclave).

There still a lot of to improve. If IIRC, I read on Telegram that they are currently relying on Google for some of the data which is wrong If you want to make a decentralized search engine that is supposed to compete with the current ones. Not to mention that you can't really load much, It's only one page and the inaccurate data regarding wallets (probably not their fault, but the source they are getting info from) etc.

The list may go on and on but the fact that we are receiving weekly updates is very promising and that's not something all projects are doing. My advice is that If you really believe that this team is going to deliver, then stay away from FUD, send your funds to a hardware wallet and forget them. If not, just sell everything you have and let people do whatever they want.
269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: MyEtherwallet is not in use on: July 28, 2018, 08:06:34 PM
If by that you mean It's not working, then It's probably only you because It's functional for me and I have this message on the footer:

Code:
You are successfully connected
URL: https://www.myetherwallet.com/
Network: ETH provided by myetherwallet.com

What error message are you receiving?
270  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] IPO of MaidSafe:  Entering the Future of the Decentralized Internet on: July 28, 2018, 03:50:45 PM
This project is revolutionary, the fact that there is no investors around it etc. really make me wonder what's wrong here. Not to mention that It's being a few years already and still, we're nowhere near a stable release.
271  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Safe use of WEB Wallet on: July 28, 2018, 06:49:19 AM
Is it safe to assume the best wallets are the core wallets?

As long as your computer have no malware. The hardware wallets are the only one that are truly safe, I suggest investing in one.
272  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Beware of PayPal and other reversible transfer services on: July 27, 2018, 12:53:04 PM
Is Circle Pay a reversible transfer service?

Just like the Neteller, Skrill and the rest of payment methods. If the account was funded using crypto, no, otherwise yes. I suggest reading the full User agreement so you know what you're getting yourself into:

Quote
Once a bitcoin transaction has been initiated, it cannot be reversed. Deposits using a bank account, debit card, or credit card may be reversed or may be subject to a chargeback or related claim.

273  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Safe use of WEB Wallet on: July 27, 2018, 11:40:34 AM
All phishing attacks seem to target Myetherwallet domain name, use MyCrypto instead, It's the same with more features.

If you ever type your private keys, or upload your JSON file at a phishing site, you're basically at the mercy of the attacker, there is nothing that can be done to protect yourself from that, just be vigilant.
274  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Poloniex delists 9 altcoins on August 2nd on: July 27, 2018, 08:19:50 AM
Well, that's the warning '2nd of august'. Unless another exchange decide to list them before the de-listing occurs, no, I don't see them going up again and in that case, I definitely don't suggest investing.

Regardless of how long these projects existed, unless it has a use-case and a purpose, you shouldn't invest in it, don't follow the hype.

275  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is running a node profitable? on: July 25, 2018, 03:19:21 PM
It's profitable with POS coins such as PIVX, DASH etc. by running a Masternode but you'll have to invest in buying coins first, simply running a node without doing anything won't do you anything.
276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Restore eth using address (pubkey), 2FA string possible? on: July 24, 2018, 06:18:45 PM
OKEX is an exchange, not a wallet, all private keys/addresses generated there belongs to them. It's not impossible to recover your funds using 2FA, email or anything else.
277  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: $280 in one airdrop, is it legit? on: July 24, 2018, 09:36:38 AM
It's possible, I remember DeepOnion (from signature campaign) giving that much in a weekly basis at some point. In this case, I suspect that the amount will start to decrease overtime as more users will be joining the airdrop.
278  Economy / Exchanges / Re: DEX: Decentralized Exchanges List on: July 23, 2018, 03:34:56 PM
Is there is a real difference between Plasma and atomic swaps? because in Altcoin.io website, the first page speak about Plasma but when you try the website (the rest of the pages), they are referring to the process we're doing as Atomic swaps.
279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH is falling. This numbers will blow your mind. on: July 23, 2018, 01:52:55 PM
Ethereum is definitely interesting, no one can argue that but the problem is that all ERC20 have no real use case and no purpose. It's just a matter of time until people realize that and when they do, ETH could go down much further since the tokens is what keeping ETH alive in the first place.
280  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coins with Most Unique/Innovative Use Cases on: July 23, 2018, 12:51:08 PM
Maybe IOTA with the internet of things? If you ask me though, bitcoin already took over. Bitcoin came first so It has the advantage now of a strong userbase. It's possible for BTC to add smart contracts, self governance like Tezos for example and pretty much anything because at the end of the day, It's just a code to change.
