2921  Economy / Economics / Re: BCH launch shows us how irrelevant marketcap can be on: August 06, 2017, 12:28:50 PM
Yes, market cap is truly irrelevant when order books are so thin and trading volumes so small compared to the cap. There's no strong resistance for some cryptocurrencies and prices are very easy to manipulate, something that's likely to trigger a market wide reaction amid such a market sentiment.

I'd be willing to use a vouch copy to test out OP's services. The offer seems tempting but there could be factors not taken into account, so I think that this is worth an honest review.
2923  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: how can i reinvest my bitcoin in HYIP? on: August 06, 2017, 12:11:10 PM
HYIPs really are good for one thing, making you lose money fast. Admins at such projects only care about running away with a good sum of money, so in the long term there's no way to have a net positive from such "investments". Especially now that bitcoin's price is rising, admins are just more eager to run away with user money the soonest.
2924  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Eth gaining, time to show us you to are not to mess around with! on: August 06, 2017, 12:08:57 PM
Eth is gaining once again but I don't think that it has much potential after the revelation that the recent rally it's now fallen from was a bubble. I don't think that it has much growth potential after such an event.
2925  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My experience with investing through CoinBase ... It there a better way? on: August 06, 2017, 12:06:59 PM
Where are you located, US? Check out which exchange would be more suitable for your needs. For US citizens Bitstamp is one of the most reputable and bigger ones. Fees for USD trades are negligible compared to Coinbase. Other than that, if you want to stick with Coinbase stick with GDAX, it's Coinbase's exchange and has better rates.

There's a trading pair for what you've requested OP, check out Bittrex's website and notice the trading pairs on your own because you might be able to find what you're looking for more easily.
Other than that, you should also check prices compared to main markets because you aren't always getting the best rates.

This would mean sending coins from one exchange to the other, calculating the fees and the possible profit?

I am just beginning to "trade", i'm actually in it for the long run. Step by step but for now i think i will just stay with bittrex. Thx!
Transaction fees are something to take into account too sure, but not something you'd have to face ofter if you were trading on the same exchange. Bittrex is long running and hasn't showed serious fault so far so I'd say that it's good for altcoin trading.
2927  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Is Bitcoin's Value So Volatile? on: August 06, 2017, 12:03:06 PM
Because it's purely based on speculation and there's no centralized management. Unlike organizations or companies in the stock market, there's no ruling body that can produce news or developments affecting the price movements of bitcoin as an asset. Even certain centralized bodies that have some influence on bitcoin don't have any power on bitcoin because there are markets running 24/7 worldwide for it and there's no way a decision affects all users in the world to change the price enough thanks to bitcoin's decentralized nature.

Guys I hope you post also the supported countries by this card companies, because most of them (if not all) don't support the shipement for my country for example, and i am sure it is a problem of many other bitcoin's users.
Check out the updated list of bitcoin debit cards with all providers I've created. Some services accept anonymous registers and if info is requested you can input anything. Do some research on your own, try registering and see. Some virtual cards are extremely cheap.

2930  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitmain announces plan to create altcoin if BIP148 succeeds on: August 06, 2017, 11:52:12 AM
Is the next thing to watchout for the SegWit2x activation? Some have been speculating that it could create yet another fork but it's unclear of core developers would continue supporting a non2x chain if the vast majority of miners continues supporting 2x.
2931  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [UPDATED]: The OFFICIAL SegWit2x Lock-in Thread on: August 06, 2017, 02:05:51 AM
The 2x part seems like a compromise in between Core's plan and BCash. I think that if the majority miners continued to show support for a blocksize increase with bitcoin, BCH could remain relevant to the day that this happens. A third "bitcoin" now seems more viable after BCash, but would likely have a different reception if the majority of miner support continued following it.
2932  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BitcoinCash is dead on: August 06, 2017, 01:39:38 AM
I think that it's worth waiting until the re-adjustment to see if it's still alive. It hasn't had a good run till now though, miners are abandoning it and its low hashrate doesn't make for a good competitor to Bitcoin.
2933  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][PRE - ICO] LUST: DECENTRALIZED SEX MARKETPLACE WITH ESCROW! on: August 06, 2017, 01:03:37 AM
Flashy images and infographics, ok... Even the concept of putting such a tangible real world service in a blockchain based cryptocurrency is flawed though. I don't think that this has any potential to get further othern than spreading buzzwords.

* If REQ-7 Trigger hits 720 minutes then difficulty will drop 20% making mining more profitable and giving us faster confirmations.
Faster confirmations perhaps, but not necessarily even close to the ~10m block time bitcoin has. The miners of Bitcoin Cash have not been loyal and the fact that Bitmain was supposedly the main supporter should put them in shame. They clearly didn't plan this ahead well enough and didn't put in the right hashrate to support their creation at its first steps. The fact that difficulty retargets have this REQ-7 doesn't even help much as even with it, when miners pull out as they did it still takes ages to reach a retarget. BCash is vulnerable to profit switch mining in the same manner Litecoin was years ago.
2935  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Miners pulling away from BCash on: August 02, 2017, 08:05:36 PM
Only exchanges that have allowed BCash deposits/withdrawals so far: HiBTC and ViaBTC
All others are operating on claimed balances from deposited funds. Could very well be subject to market manipulation and even deny withdrawals until a potential fail of BCash.

Notice the difference in the price and how big it is. HiBTC and ViaBTC highlighted

Last block 478570 - 9 hours ago. Coin not work.

Wrong! as long as it cost 500 USd it works Grin
This is the BIGEST split according to coin desk Wink
Let's be honest here, if there's no consistent miner support then the difficulty retarget rule isn't going to be of much help. Let alone that it becomes an attack vector. If exchanges are unable to securely receive deposits then the BCash rally is no more. The bubble will pop, volumes will go down and as speculation ends with it being useless as a currency it'll be delisted from exchanges and forgotten. Obviously, till now, miners are not convinced by the speculation in exchanges.
2937  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fork failed? on: August 02, 2017, 12:18:07 PM
The fork did occur but many miners abandoned BCash coin right after it split from the main chain. The exit of the miners results to extremely delayed block creation due to the pre-calcuated difficulty and as a result no transactions with BCash can go through. Overall it fails as a currency, but does decently well on exchanges in spite of the inability to deposit.
2938  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Bitcoin Cash - Fork 1:1 of Bitcoin - Pro on-chain scaling on: August 02, 2017, 10:17:19 AM
The latest Bitcoin Cash block appeared more than six hours ago.  Assuming honest timestamping, we can expect block #478576 to trigger REQ-7, resulting in a 20% difficulty reduction.
Bitcoin Cash could really be dead by then, exchanges are likely going to delist it if more miners pull out, causing further transactions delays. A delisting would mean cerain death as there'd be no incentive to mine therefore pushing BCash in a vicious cycle.
2939  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Miners pulling away from BCash on: August 02, 2017, 08:52:44 AM
After the initial difficulty calcuation, BCash's hashrate went down to less than half and more miners are leaving through time. What this means for BCash is that it's dead or dying. Effects of the miner pull out include:
  • Slow block creation time
  • Likely never reaching the next difficulty retarget in time as more miners are expected to pull out
  • Exchanges never enabling deposits as confirming them securely would be impossible
The last point would imply BCash's dead by all means. No support from exchanges would imply that there's be no incentive to mine this coin and therefore a total inability to facilitate transactions or use it in any meaningful way.

Remember that no exchange has enabled BCash deposits yet, all trading is happening with coins supposedly claimed through pre-existing deposits on exchanges.

Anyone know which wallets will be supporting private key importing for BCC?

Will electrumcash.org only be updated after the fork? I hope it won't go down under heavy load then because this doesn't sound like a good idea. At the very least there should be alternative, fail safe hosts. Can devs release a sha256 hash of the windows binaries in advance in case an overload happens, so we can verify alternative downloads?
