since site is back up again i am going to close down this topic, but strangely enough there is absolutely no announcement on their part about this!

it is also strange that a DDoS was 20-50 minute according to the screenshot!

i never keep anything on exchanges and definitely not on yobit. i just wanted to check some stuff out, yobit is like a testing ground for me for checking the API and other stuff there.

i have found out that there are so many different ways to trade different methods and there are just as many things to trade too and all of them have the potential of becoming a good profitable method of making a living for you.

but only if you are good at trading and if you are willing to spend time staring at your monitor all day long.

you my friend are a gambling addict and you should either try and quit gambling for good on your own if you have the power or seek professional help because you will soon regret this when you see yourself in a lot of debt and with no more bitcoin to gamble with.

one of the most important recommendations that i don't see anybody mentioning here (or maybe i missed it) is that you should never keep larges sums of money (crypto currency) on exchanges, because you would be trusting a third party with your money and they can run away or get hacked or lie about getting hacked and this has happened so many times already.

thanks for your reply but where did they post it?!
this is their announcement last page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914975.2120

There is only a white space with no information about what is happing except a vague statement!
as you can see in the screen captured below and it has been like this for a couple of hours now!

ETC can still pump, and the twin brother ETH is always getting pump and dumped hard so watch for the low price to get in.

and also as always keep litecoin under observation and buy whenever you see a dip.

there was some talk about monero which may become a good option again.

ever since bitfinex was hacked and came back from the dead, everything about them is strange or at least they seem strange to me.

if you remember, after they came back online the first strange thing was them being in the top 3 exchanges sorted by daily volume!!

and now this big price difference!

most people are only thinking about the one side of using banks and that is the obvious side that a "user" can see and that is only benefits such as profit that banks give on the deposited money there.
what you say is on another layer and most "users" don't care about that kind of stuff.

the main problem with most people replying here is that they think risk is equal to gamble so they can never make any profit from.

but in fact this kind of risk has its own way of being measured and you can predict the risks and try to evade them hence making the most profit out of this business.

right now it is time to sell and stay away and wait for the bottom. ETH will die eventually because of being crappy but until that day it will have many pump and dumps that is why i am waiting for the bottom.


i will look into it but it looks like just advertising to me


real business usage never had any meaning with any of the altcoins and it will never have.


don't drop it on your foot

that decent amount of activity has always been there. litecoin is one of those coins that could keep its price and daily trade volume up even after this many years.
and if a rise happens it wouldn't just be to 0.007-0.008 that is too low.


litecoin is turning into a very good long term investment unlike the new hot altcoins which will be pumped in 2-3 days and then die again.

i don't consider these as passive income, because your first method, lending especially on btcjam is a very risky job and there have been too many scams and complains about them.

and your second method, cloudmining is a well known by everybody as a terrible way of investing bitcoin because they are all Pinzi scheme and we all know what the result of that would be!

that is not healthy!
i mean it is good to be able to log in to bitcointalk, post some comments in the afternoon when you are free and get paid for it but to do it in that size i don't think is a good idea. even if you don't get banned you are harming your eyes and wasting electricity.

if you ask me, none of these things matter at all but the reality is different and they will surely affect price in sometimes unexpected sizes.

because if you think about it, the only thing that should affect the price is supply and demand and the demand should only change based on adoption. and since adoption is not changing suddenly the rise should be slow.

now have this even changed anything? no. mostly hype have been affecting the price like the $120 drop because of the bitfinex hack.

is there any way that we can follow this online to see how much hashpower is dedicated to SegWit right now?

i am looking for something similar to those sites that showed some pie charts for previous suggestions like classic, xt, ...

keep money online? not being safe? what are you talking about.

you do realize that we are talking about "bitcoin" not a third party payment processor wallet thingy like paypal right?

you can keep millions of dollar in bitcoin inside your cold storage and be the safest you can ever be. nobody can hack it from you, nobody can take it from you and nobody can tell you how to use or not use your money.

your examples are also bad because those are third party services and them getting hacked means you should never trust a third party services.

i believe that there is no one right answer to this question of yours. because the answer solely depends on how much money you own. for a rich person investing a million dollar is a "decent" investment and for a poor guy investing $50 is still investment and the rest in between. so you have to come up with the number yourself.

and obviously the more you invest the more you can earn and also the more you are risking.

i am very interested to know how did you measure this?

i mean there is no way of knowing how many people have invested in bitcoin because there is no centralized entity that can release statistics about this so we can make a conclusion and the stats we get from blockchain as the public ledger are inconclusive.


the response will come slowly and as the currency grows in popularity the rules around it will too.
