I can't even begin to comprehend how some people on here devalue Ethereum's protocol even when 40-60% of all alternative tokens are ERC20 or start as ERC20. If anything Satoshi wouldve wanted something like Ethereum to exist in the cryptoworld. BTC and ETH are both symbiotic to one another. Both are great investments and honestly the best route is to diversify your savings 50/50.

Great point, keep in mind that most of these hard forks are likely to surge the prices up as well. So the sooner you hear the news the better, but as everyone had already said - if you are going to be holding for long term then a few hundred isn't much of a big deal. I applaud you on your journey, ETH is a great investment at the moment, it was released very recently and it already has spawned thousands of tokens under their protocol.

I don't see the necessity of using an offline wallet. Your nano ledger is going to be the top of the line compared to anything else. I'd say keep your funds there. Also keep in mind that you do have multiple wallets you can put to use in your ledger device, for instance if you connect your wallet up to myetherwallet you can choose from a multitude of wallets within your nano ledger to choose from. If you are going to be trading I think it's a good idea to diversify your funds in separate wallets for maximum security. Whatever you do though do not lose your passphrase.

i brought this up on another topic. I think that it will be a very hard task to be able to regulate bitcoin, although transactions can be traced - wallets can easily be conjured and discarded at will creating a lengthy trail, but it IS possible to regulate. Cryptocurrencies are slowly gaining traction in their introduction to the vast majority and in a matter of time it will be inevitable not to notice. BTC is already in the SEC's radar. I think that instead of BTC being banned in most countries we may see the opposite - it will be introduced as a new frontier like that of the internet. We may even see government identification and social security becoming a mandatory protocol in block chain technologies adapted by large fiat banks. Every node identified.

Yeah, this is very true. Alt coins are incredibly more volatile, I remember the massive dump that happened with ETH when the fake rumors of vitalik's death were everywhere. BTC has solidarity because the founder(s?) are anonymous and they are irrelevant since the protocol established it's own legitimacy. Eventually though we might see more psychological analysis in play for these markets once the playing fields are leveled but that may be a while.

Coinbase is the easiest way to go about withdrawing USD from BTC, just be aware that all information there is regulated.
Some people prefer the ancient method of localbitcoins because it's peer to peer and completely anonymous.
It all depends on how you conduct your business really.

I feel like I was misunderstood, I said "profit" staking, Not necessarily "proof of stake" but from what I know you need to set BCO aside to claim that 50% is that right?

all credibility of this project has just been lost.

Profit staking is still in development - it's still in beta stage.

..but the reason COSS was able to pump out such an extraordinary exchange so quickly was because of their ICO. Cryptobridge was built by an anonymous and international group developers with no ICO or premine. The project is incredibly sincere. COSS may be leading the forefront at the moment but it wont take long for BCO to catch up and even surpass them in my opinion.

This project is amazing - I wish I knew of it earlier. This may end up being huge, The DEX UI is incredible. Great job devs.

I believe there are definite ways to work around it. If you have a video platform that secures it's users and creators in a cryptocurrency, it would be possible subsidize funds from the platform to facilitate hosting.


That's where they went wrong - Instead there should be a completely separate token made by the platform. No one would have to pay any money or fees for tipping creators either if every user's webpage acted as a miner. Every token mined by the users themselves can bee evenly distributed upon total active users - creating a fair distribution of wealth, while creators can be rewarded by users for good content. - this means no advertisers and no adpocalypse.

eh, just the wallet with 40% of circulation dumped 6% of its assets today. I wasn't here to see how that wallet accumulated that 40% so I can't say much of it being a scam, but the original poster here was claiming that there was an exploit that the dev had which involved instamining. Super interesting. Goes to show you can't even trust legendary users sometimes.

So I heard of this project and thought it was interesting - Joined the bounty when I first heard about it and checked out the website (which was really well designed). I check the team and see a bunch of faces and names i've never even heard of and see that they only had 2 partnerships with practically no media news articles or anything else.(Maybe they are big people- I just have never seen them, regardless their marketing and attempt of spreading awareness is lackluster for such a supposedly big company) Red flag #1 for me.

After about 2 weeks I noticed their ANN was practically dead. The telegram was horrible, there was no discussion between the team and the community - and whenever the team did respond it was a copy paste reply (good question, check our website at stktoken.com for more information etc.).Also after these 2 weeks I noticed they also updated their website and changed the ICO and presale dates. Red flag #2

They were posting on their telegram of partnering with Mastercard, the linked a blog post on their website speaking of the event. Strange, there's no news from Bloomberg, Forbes, Fortune -- nothing. If you search STKToken and Mastercard you will find nothing but secondhand news websites with low traffic posting this information. Red flag #3

Lastly, I noticed that the minimum cap was super low.....SUPER LOW, For a partnership with mastercard they have a min cap of  3,600E and a hard cap of 310,345 ETH.  Red flag #4


Lastly:

I posted this in tele...
I noticed conflicting data from their website and their bounty thread. Website says 5% of supply is allocated to bounties, while the bounty thread says %1.. so I asked them in telegram - immediately they deleted my post.. So i asked why? - they responded with "please be polite", I was being polite - so again I asked them the question and they banned me.

Edit: After further research I noticed that they had released their ICO under Tokenmarket. The most likely scenario is that Tokenmarket is keeping the 4% (what a nice fella). I still wouldn't touch this coin with a ten foot pole.

this seems relevant now. lol... bump

annnnd theres your bittrex dump

Steemit but in a youtube format! look at how things have been climbing down hill with Youtube (they are becoming the most dislike corporation on the web due to their negligence of original creators). They are dying to be the old myspace! The community is THERE, and trust me they WANT to stop using youtube. So why not a crypto-youtube, viewers tipping creators. It gets rid of the "adpacolypse" stuff going on too?

What do you think?

I feel so bad for the guy with 30 eth. You have no idea how much he didnt deserve it. and just lookiing at his ether address goes to show how distressing it will be for him... he put his whole entire portfolio in hopes of that project.. straight from bittrex.
