I have a pretty humble, diversified portfolio. I hold some 25% BTC, 25% BCC and the rest Alts including GNT, XRP, VTC, STRAT, CIVIC etc. Theyey are petty in terms of USD but I like them little coins and tokens. When I first saw the Alt-coin markets and the ICOs a while back, it was an exciting prospect. Getting to know new tech being implemented and it being funded with BTC and ETH. Then came the flood of scams and marketed ICOs that we have all been supporting one way or the another.
So all the Alts were supposed to be depressed as everyone is pulling their BTC from Alts for the fork. It happened before the Bitcoin Gold thing and now in anticipation of S2X. Unfortunately, there's this pattern of whales pumping the alts, including some credible ones and then dumping them to trade away with the BTC gains. This also shows that the increase in BTC price is not because of new money coming in but just the values getting transferred from Alts to BTC. Its almost like the big BTC traders and whales are sucking the Alts dry. The only money remaining behind in Alts seem to be the smaller investors or the bag-holders. These forks and free-money things will keep happening now and this cycle will keep repeating. Bitcoin itself would be able to be used for smart-contracts and everything else if Blockstream's plans for sidechain are anything to go by.
This can very well end the short-lived history of ICOs. Right now, I think it would be prudent to at least keep 75% of your holdings in BTC. Coz if your 25% alts survive, they'll get you the returns. But BTC has proven that its the big tree under which the small plants will find it very hard to survive. Only the ones that create their own markets would be viable.
I would hate to see this scenario but it seems likely. The alt-projects will need to significantly up their game post the November fork to survive.

Nice presentation there OP.. That original wallet had only a few outgoing transactions it seems: 32 Satoshi from the 50 was transferred to a total of 5 addresses. 1BBz9Z15YpELQ4QP5sEKb1SwxkcmPb5TMs contains 11 out of the 32 ( Not touched since 14-01-2009) 1BDvQZjaAJH4ecZ8aL3fYgTi7rnn3o2thE contains 1 out of 32 ( Not touched since 12-01-2009) 1DUDsfc23Dv9sPMEk5RsrtfzCw5ofi5sVW contains 10 out of 32 ( Not touched since 12-01-2009)[EDITED] These 3 addresses account for 22 Satoshi out of the 32 ever moved. The next addres 1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3 had been silent since 2009 till it moved 0.034337 BTC to 1Nt1SwDjXmbF61XDq7vjA51hbUuzKU97Lq in june this year.

Is there somewhere we can find pictures of the proposed cave and the present infrastructure. It'll be cool to use as a special identification for the project. Mining is going to get more competitive and will need such innovations sooner than later. Icerock is pretty ahead in the game..

Applied signature for the campaign. Bankex looks very promising with its mix of great team, working product and great marketing. This is my first signature campaign for an ICO as a member. Good Luck Bankex team..

Nothing is 100%, but Tor is the best way to anonymously run a node. The other benefit is, as you said, that you don't need to forward posts. Anonymity also brings a bit of security as well, since no one will know your IP.
The only real downside of using Tor is bandwith speeds, that are maybe a half or a third of the direct connection on average, but since Bitcoin really doesn't require much bandwith, unless it is doing an initial sync, then it isn't even noticeable.
I would suggest you enable Tor, you don't really lose anything and you gain more nodes.
It's very noticeable when you run a node under Tor and try to sync the network, it becomes too slow to download sometimes, but it's not the end of world, it's still reasonable to download the entire chain with Tor. But if it's really a problem, I guess a solution is to download the entire chain under your normal connection at high speeds. Once you have your node synced, close it, then open the Tor Browser, then open your node again and now you can do transactions under Tor. I think that would do. Is using TOR to anonymize yourself as simple as opening the TOR browser and then opening the node??!! Why then do we have these TOR-integrated coins??!! Like Novacoin used to be, now DeepOnion. Though DeepOnion has come up with a lot of other tweaks and additions too.

I don't understand how some like WB would say that "Its not a value-producing asset". Its a whole new internet technology that has given us the concept of using blockchain like an immutable ledger. The open source developer community has spawned hundreds of startups around the world who slowly and steadily will start coming up with real products. (Fine 99% of ICO will fail, but some WILL survive, right?).
This new ecosystem depends on BTC as a trusted source of financing, investing and transacting. That is what gives it value along with its "store of value" characteristics, and its history of having been battered by every possible shake up and still coming out unscathed.
People continue to scream that "There is nothing inherent or supporting the value of bitcoin" because : 1.) They are too lazy to try to understand because yeah, its complicated. 2.) It doesn't feel good to them that there are a bunch of people who are making money on this and they've likely missed the train, when they should realize that it has just started. 3.) There is an inherent propensity to resist change and say "funny internet money".
So frankly, WB statement shouldn't bother anyone. He is a smart man. He'll come around..

The new rules are clever and will add value as the project progresses. But it sucks for someone like me who was rejected on the 13th drop and was told to wait till the 16th to re-apply. I mean I had no idea I'd be buying into an ICO rather than joining a free airdrop... Well, Sour grapes!!

Hello Moderator.
I have joined after the end of week 1-2. But I saw that the week 1-2 form has to be filled before 26/10 and in my hurry, simply copy pasted my activity AFTER 20, i.e. from 20/10/ to 25/10 into the Week 1 form by mistake. Could you please correct this. This is appearing in the spreadsheet in Week 1-2 entry against my name at Row nos. 243 and 294. Those should actually appear later when we make entries for week 3-4.
The present entries at Row 243, 294 in Week 1-2 SHEET are wrong as i mistakenly entered them. Hope this is not too bad on my part as it was an unintentional mistake.
Thanks

All the people waiting for a long time and getting worried for it, well you are not alone. I applied for the 13th drop but was told to re-apply for 16th. So Just waiting. In the meantime, they are doing some pretty good things over at the forum and for marketing. So its going to be worth the wait..Don't worry..

So will Nous have a blockchain of its own as it seems to be about making a closed financing system of its own?? Looking forward to further updates on the website..

The new signature suggest that maybe a member levl is going to be needed. This means those of us waiting for some time now will be eligible..cool..

By the way, congratulations to all of the staff, dev, team, and participants of Hacken as we already have 1012 whitelisted investors on board! I can sense the success of Hacken is on the way now! wow! that was great. congratulations HACKEN for doing such a great job. Only 1000 people in whitelist? It's not so much. There should be at least 5000 Why do you need more investors in whitelist? If every investor of whilelist can invest ~10 ETH per order, we will raised ~ 10,000 ETH in pre-sale and it is not a small raised funds for pre-sale, haha. The qualify will be better than many investors but they can not invest much money. IMHO better is more people with less investment. If there are 5 person with 10000 eth deposits each, they could make price at exchanges as they want. But if there 10000 people with 5 eth, they can't. At first point 25% bonuses will bring price after sale below ICO price. many ico want more and more investor participate, But for me this 1012 investor in whitelist of pre-sale in hacken pretty good result they show that hacken is qaulity application. Should be 1024...2 10 would have been fun..

It was my first time to play with bitcoins and bump, I am been duped by this Liar so called Amit Bhardwaj's company fake promises. Though it was a small amount but my first experience in entering Bitcoin turned nightmare. Unfortunately, you are not the first my friend and surely won't be the last. As a community, it falls upon us to make more and more people aware of the experiences of those that have been defrauded. Please share and vote at following thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2283019.0Also, Don't let this one experience dampen your spirits. Bitcoin and its associated technologies are amazing and have great potential. Just do your research and make well though out investment decisions only..

Hacken has adopted one more financial innovation to the cryptocurrency that is the " Burning principle". So, this is an added feature to the cybersecurity on blockchain.
I don't think burning is an added feature to cybersecurity of blockchain. it does tackle the volatility issue in a smart way. 1% of total tokens will be burned and it'll be like distributing that value back to the remaining holders. The cybersecurity shall be taken care of by the group of white hackers who i hope will rub off some of there knowledge onto us poor seekers..!!

Agreed after the fork we should expect an alt bull market, which means ONION will rise through the ashes of the many dumpers that have forsaken themselves.
The very interesting thing is that in the current altcoins slaughtehouse where all alts are dropping because of the upcoming BTC fork, DeepOnion's price has been quite stable, especially if you take in account the inflation produced by the airdrop. This is a very very good sign for the future of DeepOnion price. Most of the alts are dropping because people who bought them using BTC are pulling that BTC back to gain forked coins. On the other hand, Most onions that are in the market are held by people who got them from airdrops. They'll also be getting banned from future drops if they sell. That maybe one reason that the price is stable. There isn't enough sellers. The real test will be when the restrictions are over. But well, this topic was discussed to death back at the forum and we all concluded that the dumpers will dump anyways. With the kind of community support and features like Central voting, the coin will have found enough foothold to not be shaken by dumpers!

I have just read an interesting story posted on Twitter about Supercoin and dangerous one horse race... Yes, I did the same thing. And also lost a lot of money, maybe not as much as the autor himself, but... I have lost it all...For me it was enough. Well, it was too damn much. Later, there was not even a chance for me to jump back in with some other coins... So, I am just here, writing sometimes about it... Who knows, maybe there is a light at the end of the SuperCoin tunnel. Maybe is there some sunshine even for me. Good luck to anybody who is still here.
Man that is a touching story. Hope you will get your due someday.. Your signature too says "Back in the Real World". So whats the story. When did bitcointalk and Supercoin happen to you? What really happened to this and those other coins.. I suppose the same that will happen to 98% of the ones mushrooming right now. Its hard to believe but it seems likely that crypto world has already been through a similar phase, albeit at a smaller scale. Teach me all you know if I am wrong..

Please fill the form, your stakes won't be counted otherwise Are these guys like bots or what?? There have been atleast 4-5 replies from the mod and others that they have to fill up the form and not line-up the forum with there shares.. And there's a lot that can be discussed about Bankex than these mindless "Hey i joined, hope it goes success", "Great project, reach moon soon"... Seriosuly, WTF??

It's unfortunate the youtube bounty is stopped, but it's okay I'll follow the other bounty! 7 days towards the end of airdrop round 3, Hurry up guys!
The dev at telegram informed that a lot of people were posting already posted youtube links as their own. This was creating a bad scene for everyone. I don't understand why people are so cheap and greedy. I mean if you are educated enough to be using a computer and youtube, you should have enough ethics not to do such a thing. But then there are professional spammers and what not..Its truly disappointing to see all these parasites living off of others' hardwork. Its a good step by the PoSToken dev to stop the bounty if such a thing was happening. But hey, still have the article bounty remaining, which I am gonna go and work on now..Good luck to you too.

I have FUD and FUDD token, what is the difference?
Ignore FUD, just use FUDD FUD is the old contract, we changed it due to a bug I guess FUDD-imon is better than just FUD.. Joined the second drop..Lets have some major event two days before to remind everyone for the mandatory 0.01 ETH. (And I love how clever that is..
