As far as I am able to discern, no official 'ban' was outed by any Chinese regulator yet. So at this stage, it is mostly 'hear say' and rumours but nothing substantial. China would take a considerable risk if it would decide to shut down every single Bitcoin exchange (as opposed to 'regulating' this scene). We all know that enforcement would be a joke with every China man hustling a Bitcoin exchange on his mobile phone at every street corner. If it's illegal, it will be worth money to trade this thing. It Won't Happen  |

Only 'dumb' criminals thought Bitcoin was a perfect hiding place. It is much more open and transparent than cold hard cash. And 'real' criminals know that.

A lot of investors are still joining at the very end of this ICO. We could reach $4 mln or even $5 mln before the ICO is over.

[...] but I've seen the video of Larimer with a totally straight face saying theyre not investing any of that money in EOS. It's 'already built'. Lawyers  |

Very nice artwork is thrown around. This should spark users to start media campaign II. I hope that DeepSend can come soon to show making a DeepSend payment in real life.

[...] but nobody cares, because everyone only wants to get rich quickly ...
This sums it up quite nicely  |

Do we got any hope that every single ATS goes up to $1 ?
Hope is free. It all depends on how the community around ATS evolves. There are plenty of good writers out there looking for a transparent publishing model. That should not be the problem. |

Could be. I understand the original spammer app targeted two nodes that provide http access over the web. They apparently shut down access for the spammer app due to overload. The app now targets random nodes and should work on certain nodes (it was a bit of hit and miss before I got it working).
Remember, this could also be done by a hacker-spammer so IOTA should be able to withstand this. Excellent test data is being generated.

Please make a Windows wallet so I can play with it. I cannot code that well (and GitHub is still a mystery to me) so I cannot be much of service in terms of coding.

By signing a message, you can prove that you are the 'owner' of a certain wallet address. You can prove that you have the private key to a certain wallet address.
You make a message
Sign it with your private key
That results in a hash code
A third party can verify 100% whether that hash code is valid
Without having to know your private key
Does that answer your question?

The TenX PAY tokens is clearly tied to a certain dividend stream and this dividend stream only. As an ERC20 token, there is nothing additional to it that would give it speculative value (there is no 'app' attached to it other than this dividend). So yes, price is way to high and should come down before investors that pay attention are willing to take a gamble. I noted this also: https://steemit.com/tenx/@wekkel/the-tenx-playThe Token
The Token. Please forget about it for now:
the token is an ERC20 token, held in an ETH wallet
official named Tenx PAY tokens
the token does not represent anything but a dividend right
the dividend right boils down the following
the total amount of payments made via TenX (over a certain period)
0.5% thereof
this 0.5% part divided over about 200,000,000 TenX tokens
to be distributed on each Tenx token as ETH (if held in private ETH wallet)
so in a realistic scenario: paying zilch compared to the risk vs current exchange price of TenX tokens
To clarify:
a quick look that non-cash payments worldwide are about $400-500 billion annually
let's say that in a rosy scenario (e.g., full penetration worldwide and without competition), TenX grows to 10% of that payment stream
that's $40 billion. Doing the math (($40 billion * 0,5%) / about 200 mln), one single token will pay $1.
So if TenX becomes the gold standard of crypto card payment, each token will pay annually $1. The current price of TenX is $4. So TenX tokens have an annual yield of 25% under the most rosy scenario. Not bad in a near zero interest rate environment.
But in a less rosy scenario (let's say, 10% of the rosy scenario) which is not unlikely given competition and friction in reaching audiences worldwide, the yield of TenX tokens would be 2,5% at current price ($0.10 / $4 * 100%). With the risks associated to cryptocurrencies, not a price for which you would sell your house, your wife and kids for an enormous bag of TenX tokens.
So from my perspective, the fireworks is not in the TenX token (although it could and probably will be pumped to 10-100 times price perfection).
Everyone is free to speculate and perhaps the numbers do not matter, but for some people the numbers do matter. The relentless price decline proves them right. |

Checking in after 10 pages Yes, still faucet bitching Checking out again   constructive ctiticism is not bitching... better that than being an asskisser like many people are in this thread always telling devs how much they rule That's also true. But I think the best step for XRB right now is the wallet synchronisation fast and reliable. A fast and stable wallet is the foundation for XRB to grow further and develop a larger market and seek practical use for the network. There is a market out there for 'no fees' payment networks and XRB should be able to capture its share. Looking at the DeepOnion thread, the interaction with the users could be better. But hats off for the dev who already achieved a lot working single on this coin. |

Very handy, a mining calculator I wonder whether DO will also experience the centralisation of mining over time, with mining going to those parties that operate big and reside at places where the electricity costs are the lowest. |

If there is a vulnerability, wouldn't someone exploit the hell out of it right now? Let's say, if IOTA still functions as it is now over a month, is the concern about an alleged bug to be taken serious or are hackers then considered lazy?
In the end, I expect just that happening: IOTA happily existing ever after, just like a Honey Badger not caring about the intensive debates between humans. It is binary as far as I am concerned. Either there is a problem or not. If not, the FUD will wane away over time. If the FUD is reality, the devs need to take action (if not already done so; I read something in this direction).
