New DAO article in New York Times:
A Venture Fund With Plenty of Virtual Capital, but No Capitalist
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/22/business/dealbook/crypto-ether-bitcoin-currency.html?_r=0

We are all the capitalists. I like the idea of the DAO, but we still need the investment experts to advise us.

Amen. There is a reason why much education, and a few professional licences are necessary to simply be a fund manager. That doesn't even speak to landing a job in the space as well.

Looks like most alts along with Ether are undergoing a fall right now.

Indeed. Dash took a tiny hit the last time I checked, but ether is under going correction at the moment, hopefully it will recover as I assume there are a lot of investors in the 15 esque price range that would like to see a return to those levels.

It's certainly not a scam, but if you have issues with a non responsive support team, you will save yourself some trouble in the future by staying clear. It will be a grand experience, until something breaks. Then the frustration will set in.
2783  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Signature Campaigns: Worth The Time? on: May 24, 2016, 07:46:43 PM
For me its worth its, you have to keep in mind that you are gaining free bitcoins and that it has no risks at all compared with other methods to gain money plus you almost need nothing for it and you are also learning from it.

It's completely worth it, why do a thing for free when you can be compensated for it? But, beware the trolling from members that would unfairly judge a post's quality simply because it has a signature attached to it. If people would spend more time policing their own words rather than the words of others, that is, the beam in one's eye, this forum would be much better by far Wink

Signed up with xapo today but every time I try to order the xapo card it won't let me. They don't offer to U.S.? If not what bitcoin card can I use to verify PayPal in u.s. I tried spectrocoin its same thing no united states

This is correct. I can only attest to SC and NC, if it's locked to particular regions in the US, but you most certainly cannot use the card, or even the account, without complete verification as well.  I have a few satoshi locked in there as we speak. Grin
2785  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: CCCB: Coinbase is close to Bankruptcy on: May 24, 2016, 07:38:59 PM
This is the second thread I have read this morning saying Coinbase is in trouble without posting anything to suggest this, if there were some tangible evidence you should post it with the opening statement otherwise this thread is just speculation.

Their rebranding could be just to keep up with the developing crypto world and not be left behind, either way without seeing anything to suggest otherwise I think Coinbase is good for now.

Same mentality. Hearing a lot of flack on these guys, without any substantial proof. They have been very transparent in the past, I think it would be poor logistics to change this so close to the rebrand. Also, they have insurance, to the best of my knowledge. Makes little sense not to discloses a breach.
2786  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Yobit Support on: May 24, 2016, 07:35:10 PM
I just want to share my own experience about yobit support, it is the shittest support you can ever had bringing issue for at least 4 days before got some positive feedbacks regarding to my coins I was able to get my coins but the value of it cuts to half and after that experience I'm not trading or dealing with yobit anymore.

I'm not even going to address the fact that the Yovi wallet has been intentional crippled, following the listing of YOVI/BTC on a separate exchange. How am I to stake, if my coins are trapped on the exchange? Also, yobit codes can not be generated on said asset at the moment.
2787  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase hacked?! on: May 24, 2016, 05:28:47 PM
I hope not as this would be really bad news for bitcoin security in general especially in the USA.
Bitcoin is dead.

Nah. Bitcoin is still very much alive. Transactions are still confirming, devs are still developing, and most tellingly, this forum is still puttering along.

But, indeed this bodes poorly if something did  happen. They supposedly are the best, so much so, your deposit is insured. Let's hope the claims of enterprise grade security are true, if anything actually happened.

"The Halving"

Its life immitating art it sounds like a Stephen King novel and for all these scammers

the odds aint looking good in their favour

LMAO Teresa!! This does indeed sound like an S. King novel. It could be a prequel to the Dark Tower  Grin

The official line, in response to the reddit thread:

"Thanks for bringing this up. We're working on communicating and addressing these issues with the affected customers. Some public notices are here for reference.
Regarding delayed withdrawals/sells to bank.
Regarding duplicate charges."
- John, Coinbase Support

https://community.coinbase.com/t/official-issue-duplicate-charges-for-some-customers-on-may-19th-and-20th/11070/21

Coinbase has been pretty solid with transparency in the past. Let us hope this is still the case.



2789  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Spoetnik and Roach are Bitcoin maximalists and you can use this info to... on: May 24, 2016, 05:13:55 PM
We all contribute to this community in our unique ways. As much as you guys dog roach, he's a good guy in my opinion. Same with Spoetnik. I'm not saying this is the case, I only reserve ignore for those that don't contribute anything meaningful. To censor someone just because I don't agree with their opinions seems, well, shortsighted. I would be remiss to limit rational discussion in this place, there is so little of it, it is a gift when it presents itself.

Separate your emotions from your money. There is no poor discourse if it leads to greater understanding in the end.

Not a personal attack Pharm, I dig you. That was for the people.

Good luck with this, whoever invests.
2791  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum: Good alt or stay away? on: May 24, 2016, 05:06:00 PM
Correction time before another run at $15, or is the balloon losing its air..

It is the correction time ahead. The price might drop to 0.015 bitcoin. That will make mining unprofitable.

Fortunately, I don't think it will stay low for a long time, the hype is still strong with this, and traders are waiting for sub 10 to rebut it into oblivion again.

People, please only trade with money you can afford to lose. If you brought into the peak, good luck. Genuinely, I will keep you in my prayers. I do not wish for anyone to lose value, it makes me discontent. Try to get out on the next surge , if it gets you close to your buy in.
2792  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why would anyone buy this DAO crap? on: May 24, 2016, 01:54:50 AM
Many people are complaining to this kind of altcoin but never see any potencial of this coin and i think there's no grow for this coin..
I will stay at cbx..

Eth has great potential. Just not right now, as an investment, because you would be buying into a peak. Also, there are governance concerns. Not for eth, for the DAO.

another.

r0ach.

bitching thread.

After enduring months upon months of constant spam from scammers trying to hype this IPO pump and dump fraudtoken, it's going to be hilarious watching it implode.

Even the random village serfs are already putting the pieces of the puzzle together:

Surely the price of DAO will fall too as soon as the ICO is over.
Everyone who bought will be considering if they should sell.  Anyone who wanted to buy could have done so during the unlimited ICO, so I can only see one direction that the price can go initially.

Or have I missed something?

Misquote, recheck your brackets Smiley carry on  Grin
2795  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In 2 years time you will thank me but for now you need to buy Ethereum a lot on: May 22, 2016, 12:39:16 AM
No, I think Eth has roughly doubled in value since its most recent low of .015 btc per. I was trading on Polo at that time, missed out myself because I had to move my money elsewhere before it reached the bottom (I pulled orders I had at .016ish, it hurt a bit when my would be order was surpassed). We were waiting for it to hit said bottom, and I know a lot of guys personally that purchased during this uptick back to .02ish, from which it has taken off to present levels.

These guys are traders, not futurist, and are chomping at the bits to unload and reload at a cheaper price. This mentality is what I believe will harm the market, and I believe this is the mentality of the majority of actors in this market at the moment.
2796  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum: Good alt or stay away? on: May 22, 2016, 12:31:30 AM
Hi everyone, I've been around for a while now.. 
I've seen a lot of posts positive and negative about Ethereum.

At the moment I am holding Bitcoins, but I have invested in some Ether as well.

Now I am wondering, what are legitimate concerns about Ether (except for IPO, as I've already read this in a lot of posts).

So can anyone bring real other issues to the table, to enlighten me (and maybe a lot of other readers?)

Thanks!

Ethereum is an excellent concept, and in time, if there is no clusferfuckery from the devs, will mature into a valuable crypto that actually offers innovation to the space.

But should you invest in it at this moment? My money is on no. Simply put, the train has already left the station. You would be buying into a peak, which is a trading no no, and a lot of us have a strong hunch it will be on sale, for a brief while, in the near future. If you are holding long term, the current price is cheap. Almost certainly this coin will surpass $20, maybe very soon. But if you want the most bang on your crypto buck, I would cool my jets for a moment and watch all the hype shake out from the market.

When you do swimmingly later, send me some Eth because you love me.
2797  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In 2 years time you will thank me but for now you need to buy Ethereum a lot on: May 22, 2016, 12:23:43 AM
A good one pump thread with a PhD. AFAIK I thought the price of ethereum will decrease when dao contracts finishes up? so why should we buy now? If we're going to buy ethereum it will not be this current time.
Have you forgot it adding in your calculations?
why would eth price drop after they raised nearly $200,000,000 to invest in ethereum blockchain?

Its hugely bullish for eth you pea brained mongoloid

Names, stoat, names  Grin You wound me and you aren't even talking to me Smiley We (the naysayers) think that all the greedy profit taking is going to occur around the 28th, because the amount of profit that has been made during this IPO has been insane. Unlike yourself, who actually is enthusiastic about Eth and the future of the DAO (this is noble, do not take this as a slight), most of your investment proteges could give a flying fuck about the underlying technology, or the promise it brings to transparent corporation governership. They see a flashing sign that says "2x profit!" next to a button that says "Sell!".

Why do you think, and this is a serious question, investors will hold their shares, and eth, once liquidity emerges? Perhaps you have a perspective I have yet to consider.

Thank you for your consideration, and your time, in advance.
2798  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In 2 years time you will thank me but for now you need to buy Ethereum a lot on: May 22, 2016, 12:14:05 AM
Ethereum is going to the moon. I'm a PhD educated professor and I've done the math. Ethereum, smart contracts m, and the DAO are going to change the world... for better. I know a s appreciate that many of you fear change, especially against your BTC hodlings however we all need to take a step back and appreciate the present situation. BTC is stalled floundering, and centralised in China. Ethereum is growing dat by dat with new devs, it doesn't suffer 2  hour confirmations. And it's fucking scalable. Ok let's rethink this:
BTC unsalable unscalable stalled.
ETH salable scalable growing.

need some of your shit, bro!

Only the finest shit is consumed on this forum man, it's better than what I have, obviously. He's a Dr. Maybe it's medicinal..?

Ethereum is indeed going to the moon. Short term. Then it will come back down to earth for a spell. I will concede, long term eth will most likely be moon worthy, but I just can't shake the feeling the DAO thing is gonna go poorly. I hope I am wrong, I don't want to see this fail in the public's eye, nor do I want guys to lose value.

We will see.

2799  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining DAO on: May 21, 2016, 08:35:30 PM
Hello I hear DAO is the new hype money.
I also want  this money.
I want to know how can I mine the DAO Huh

I have smart phone and laptop Smiley

Thanks (˃̵˂̵

This is a token, issued on the ethereum blockchain. You can mine the underlying asset , ether, but you can only mine the underlying asset, not the token. It has to be distributed by the issuer.


I want to say something smartass, but I'm too chill at the moment (stout couple fingers of brandy). You should really research eth before you do this, you are about to throw resources at something you don't have a solid understanding of yet. Never invest in an asset you have not done diligence on.

Good luck.

You haven't, but the fan boys will have your head on a platter if you keep making sense like this  Grin


People will understand that it isn't wise to invest in assets that are currently in a bubble. Hype = volatility. It's like buying into a peak, it may go up, but there is sooo much more potential to go down given market factors.

If you got in early, congrats. That wasn't hype, it was an obviously a shrewd investment that paid off.
