2981  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is BNB the new ETH killer on: April 01, 2019, 10:06:58 PM
Binance at top 3? why not? it can somehow replace XRP if people will start seeing it's full potential. This rank/rating thing in the market is somehow a pride for the developers of it and when it happens, that's one big achievement for them.

It's not an ETH killer but it's a progressive coin. The price of BNB has been moving so quick and that's how it goes, one of the quickest coin in terms of recovery and it's almost near to the all time high price that it has reached before.

I do agree that the price of BNB is increasing but yes, it's not an eth killer as BNB is just another eth token to start with.  Tongue  Also, aside from the main usage of BNB in trading, what are other applications for this coin?
2982  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scammers will go after IEO soon on: April 01, 2019, 08:48:47 PM
It is not so easy to do, although scammers are everywhere but with slight analysis you can always check whether it is an authentic project or not, secondly to be safe i will suggest to invest in an ieo on a reputable exchange platform only.

Even reputable exchange is not free from this possible fraudulent projects. Let's take for example, Binance launchpad, are those projects that recently introduced on their launchpad have real technology behind? Why is the price still in the declining mode if the project is very solid? Are they going to blame it with the current market situation? And now, there is another upcoming project. If you fully believe the project's potential, better buy it in the exchanges after a couple of weeks in trading rather than compete with bots on their platform during IEO.
2983  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why did bitcointalk now had KYC verification? on: April 01, 2019, 08:36:13 PM
I know its very  hard to explain, but why did theymos think that KYC is really necessary for this lovely forum?
It is just a big joke ,
It is just Theymos having fun on the forum every April 1 he would do something to make fun and celebrate the April Fool's Day.
So just relax this year he really fooled a lot of member and I am one of those who got fooled by this prank  Grin .

I wonder how many users here really submit those info to him.  Grin Upon reading the details that you need to submit, you will wonder that it is only a prank. If you do not forget the date today, April Fool's will be the first one you will think of this commotion.
2984  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is $25 XLM worth your privacy (identify). on: March 31, 2019, 11:55:23 PM
i think worthy, identity is paid 25 USD blokchain has guaranteed trust in everyone's eyes so it is not possible that the identity you provided ,misused by blockchain

And what if their database where they have stored such info. gets hacked. You are choosing money over identity which can lead to issues later on. Your identity could be misused and yet you would be held as the culprit.

This is really a bad situation and definitely needs to turn the minds who think it is good.

It is up to the user's preferences when it comes to some freebies. But I wouldn't take the risk of sending my information for $25. This project is totally legit but we don't know what will happen to our data afterwards. No one is forcing them to undergo such verification so basically it is up to the user if he will accept all the terms included in it.

Betting on the direction of bitcoin markets ? We are already doing the same in the name of binary options trading.

I just checked your site and I am unable to see any registered address for your business; who is the operator ? Your name betinance sounds good but it is not good that you are using logo and graphics are very much similar to binance.com as it may give a false impressions like a sister venture of binance for gambling industry.

For those gamblers who always look for new way of gambling, they may find themselves entertained here and there are chances for traders too give it a try. But, you need to prove it as a legit business and for that you may start with providing us a licence info.

License info is more than enough to suffice the question about the legality of this gambling platform. No need to disclose team members if you don't want. Though they are using binance in some ways at their own advantage, they are not the first one to imitate famous platforms. Just make sure you are not having copyright infringements here.
2987  Economy / Gambling / Re: SocialBet.io :: We are looking for funding on: March 30, 2019, 11:03:31 PM
Visit socialbet io I realized that this is a very simple design site.there is no colour sense for the gambling site.the donar who wants to donate they must observed your site design,feature & colour too.there is no extra attracted view. Must needed update to get big amount fund.when i followed your leaders board just shocked to see someone get 62Btc,second one get also 62btc 3rd one get 57btc.how can it possible?is it true?

Read few pages before posting. They were in the test mode at that time. So whatever big amount you are seeing, those were test performances. So don't be shocked with the amount.



How can people win that much bitcoin on that site? How much they use the money so they can be able to win that big amount of bitcoin? Huh
It makes me a shock to see that amount. Is that so easy to win a big amount?

After all, the site was easy to load, and it doesn't take a long time to open a full page.

Look suspicious that's a huge amount to win but it look like a testnet for the site? I will review this gambling site by the way is there any free coins to test your site? You have a 0% house edge compare to other gambling site I hope it that true.


Yes, we are in beta and still testing the platform. Anyone who registers gets fake money to test our game. Also, we use bots to test performance and that huge wins belong to them

5) You can do Mining in TrustDice and get daily payouts(dividends).

You need to properly elaborate on how this works, You should post that this is not the traditional POW mining but stake mining via EOS Blockchain,

This is currently one misleading features and users will think its a browser mining to earn some EOS to play on your site.

You are right. We just didn't want to pour out so much information in the post. But this is really valuable suggestion. I'll change it right now. Thank you!

Ok, i joined your site, you have 2FA protection for members wich is very good, well done.
One thing i dont understand, how is the mining working on the website ? I coudlnt find any details for it.
Also, my advice, if you want to attract more players, you should offer a faucet or so.
Good luck !

He already put a section regarding mining - https://trustdice.win/mine. He calls it the Wager-to-Mine (WoM). First time to encounter such concept here. I don't know if it is really an edge for a gambling site. But definitely an added feature for a regular gambling site.

Your alleged license remains your secret?

Quote from: BetOnBit website
Licensed to conduct online gaming operations by Government of Costa Rica

Please show us your license to conduct online gaming operations issued by the Government of Costa Rica?

If they are holding real license, I would suggest for the dev to publish here so people will stop nagging about this document. Otherwise, that license would be considered dubious.
2990  Economy / Economics / Re: South Africa, leading world in crypto adoption, a high-potential crypto market? on: March 29, 2019, 10:20:13 PM
Most criminals are still using cash and other traditional laundering methods.  The percentage of criminals using crypto is a drop in the bucket.  The crime excuse is just something used by media to demonize bitcoin and associate it with nefarious activities. 

Media is really moulding how people think towards crypto. A lil bit occurrence of illegal activity, they will make it as a big deal. People should know how to filter the information that they are seeing from these media channels. By the way, I didn't know that South Africa is the leading region in crypto adoption. I thought, Europe or Asia. If the figures are true, I hope crypto will cater them in a positive way. Change their lives for the betterment.
2991  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best cloud mining services on: March 29, 2019, 07:43:07 AM
Your first investigation point is Google. Your second investigation point is this forum.

Check out and search for cloud mining scams. See for yourself, even the supposedly famous names and reputable companies have all had hundreds of complaints from customers who lost money. The fact is, there is no such thing as guaranteed income, especially not from cloud mining. You yourself see they have closed their doors so even they cannot make money.

Come back and thank me later.

This is the very reason why no one should invest in cloud mining services. I had invested years ago (when cloud mining contracts were still new in crypto market) because the profit was very tempting, but unfortunately I didn't get my basic investments. Considering that cloud mining site is legit because up until now they are operating. Better buy your own hardware instead. At least you still have your equipment if all goes wrong in crypto mining.
2992  Economy / Economics / Re: KakaoTalk to integrate a cryptocurrency wallet on app on: March 28, 2019, 10:33:39 PM
Guys don't get so excited, before posting just read article, as it seems they have only discussion around it, they don't know whether cryprocurrency will be added or not.
But since whatsapp plans to add crypto, I think Kakaotalk will follow then too, just don't want to get rumors in attention.
Btw in any way it's good, you can quickly send coins to your friends but this has some cons, maybe they'll explode your brain by requesting some money.

For sure, even if it is in the discussion stage, they will follow this crypto boost in social media. Though their followers is not as much as fb or twitter, still this will create mass adoption on this side of the world. They will be familiar on handling cryptocurrency and will see the benefit of it. So much with the negative connotations of crypto, time to see the power of crypto in their daily lives.
2993  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are Social Networks like Facebook and Twitter moving towards blockchain? on: March 28, 2019, 06:55:27 AM
If you understand blockchain well, you'll have an easy answer to that.

One answer I have in mind is, blockchain is seen by these social media giants as a powerful technology — powerful in a sense that it is decentralized. By being decentralized, it won't have to be controlled by any central authority or government. There will be reduced (to zero) taxes, easier transaction based on smart contracts, lesser manpower on the part of FB and TW (hence the huge money that can be saved).

Any visionary would see blockchain taking over most business transactions in the near future.
I agree with all your reasons except the decentralized one. Most social network will never want a situation whereby they do not have total control over their project. Take for example facebook. Facebook has become one of the social networks that have millions of traffic every hour. features such as ads are totally controlled by the team and this is the reason why you cant remove ads that are displayed on your timeline because that is their major source of finance

That's right. Though fb wants to integrate blockchain technology within their platform, somehow they will find a way how to have the full control of its usage. They realize that this technology will save them thousands and thousands of dollars in their operations, making them more profitable in the long run. And considering the number of active users on their platform, marketing will be an easy task for them.
2994  Economy / Economics / Re: Citi Has Scrapped Its Plan for a JPM Coin-Like Bank-Backed Cryptocurrency on: March 27, 2019, 10:52:22 PM
What significance it holds in crypto market?? None!!

Citi scrapped plan for a bank owned crypto is not a big news for the community. Sooner or later they will also move towards such implementation because digital payment system is the future. Slowly all banks will have to move to such eco system.

But these digital currencies will just be digital currencies and not cryptocurrencies. Values of these currencies will be strictly regulated and normal banking processes will apply on those! Not a big news and soon we will see more banks either to implement or scrap plans to implement such initiative! Crypto community would remain unaffected!
We dont really care at all - A line for Crypto users against these things.

As expected for banks to adopt yet they would eye for systems that being created nor backed by traditional investors and JPM coin is suited out for that criteria.So im not really shocked at all.

With or without them, the life of crypto will continue. They are not the only company in this world that people rely onto. And yes, sooner or later, they will adopt this system, otherwise, they will become obsolete. Who knows, all the published stuffs are just for media coverage but the real thing is totally opposite?
2995  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Team also needs to pass KYC on: March 27, 2019, 10:19:51 PM
KYC stands for Know Your Customer it implemented only for all the investors of the project in order to know their credibility as an investor and make sure that the money their going to invest is not from illegal activities or money laundering.

For what I've known there are 2 reasons why KYC is implemented on the bounties:
1. To control the greed bounty hunters who uses different altcoin to abuse the campaign
2. To steal your Identity (Identity theft)

And for your topic which is team needs to pass KYC... and where are they going to conduct their KYC test? the thing here is that the investor and everyone of us should study the project first and don't easily give our personal information.

When you are talking about KYC stuff for the dev team, it will be answered by how far they are disclosing their profiles via the reference links such as linkedin, social media profiles and other works published. It is up to you to determine the authenticity of those given information. No one can really tell you, who is the legit or who is faking it? But even if they are providing you those personal info, it doesn't mean that they will not screw people. Most of them know how to get around laws and regulations and most of the time, they will register their project to a country with very loose crypto regulations. So it is really hard to come after them, if they run away.
2996  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin ETF: SEC Receives 84% Negative Feedback on Application on: March 26, 2019, 11:05:18 PM
There was a time in which people were very excited about the possibility about this been approved, but that is no longer the case, the SEC has rejected so many applications that most people have given up the hope that we are going to see a bitcoin ETF anytime soon, in fact it is very likely that if in the future the SEC finally decides to approve an ETF that people are not going to even notice and the impact on the price is going to be minimal.

People are already tired of waiting so they decided to stop playing games with them. The continuity of bitcoin usage will always be here no matter what. And with or without ETF, big companies are still pursuing their blockchain projects and so with the increasing number of crypto users. I believe that is more important for the time being.
2997  Economy / Economics / Re: And Now Visa Wants To Enter Crypto on: March 26, 2019, 10:14:57 PM
It pleases, especially since it will be big + for people who do not understand computers. They will keep their funds not only in dollars, euros. There will be no need to memorize the number of the wallet, everything will be implemented by the visa.
So we are going to give the control of our funds to someone.I am not much aware of how VISA will get adopt the crypto payments but if we need to deposit our funds to them and they will act like a crypto bank then it is not a good for cryptos.

I understand you, but it is convenient for people who are poorly versed in the PC. Imagine that You could trade with them on an equal footing, that's what the visa plans to do.
Yes, visa being the leading card transaction support system for the fiat transaction now getting into cryptocurrency is a good news. Visa card accessing is truly easier than using cryptocurrency for people who lack in desktop usage. The only issue that stands infront when visa goes close to the implementation is the volatility. Let's wait and see what's going to happen.

This might be their motto at the moment - "If you can't beat them, join them." Those giant companies are starting to realize the potential of blockchain technology within their operations. This is not just mere hype of using cryptocurrencies, but they are already seeing the real deal of what's gonna happen in the future. If they will not adapt this change, they will be left behind. And that is a lost opportunity for them. As the leading global payment solution, VISA will make a remarkable impact in crypto.
2998  Economy / Economics / Re: What should you do in bearish market? on: March 26, 2019, 10:08:07 PM
Accumulate to the coins which you do believe that do have the potential specially to those coins who are on top 10 of CMC.They are cheap as of this moment
and if you can dare to risk up money the go ahead but dont expect too much.

If you are holding some bags, then its wise for you to keep holding on and wait for the market reversal.

I have the same sentiment also when it comes to investing coins in this bearish market. But I would choose coins from the top 10 of CMC list minus Bitcoin Cash.  Tongue I believe, individuals behind this coin are the only ones gaining from this yet another bitcoin fork. Sooner or later, we will be out of this type of market. And since mass adoption is getting stronger everyday, the price increase is very imminent.
2999  Economy / Economics / Re: $2.5 Million: Binance Invests in Aussie Crypto Payments Startup to Push Adoption on: March 26, 2019, 02:48:51 PM
Ofcourse it is a good thing but it is only a small step on the way to crypto adoption and 2.5 mln $ is not a revolutionary big money for crypto world. I doubt that many people would use TravelbyBit and there is no guarantees that this project will become somehow popular. Sometimes we are witnessing the crash of even bigger projects.


Yes, $2.5M is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak. But big things start from humble beginnings. If that project will optimize what has been given to them, then, they have the chance to grow it big. Such amount is already sufficient to initiate developments and considering that they are backed by a known exchange, they should make the most out of its marketing exposure. Their fate in crypto is basically from their end.
3000  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin on WhatsApp Coming on: March 26, 2019, 08:30:59 AM
Guess the Zucc is trying to cover all bases. Facebook coin on FB, Bitcoins on WhatsApp.

Either way, that's more options for people. I don't see any problems with this, so long as people ensure not to link their personal btc addresses to these apps.

If they partner up with Facebook & Co. and create a nice hype, this could actually lead to new money flowing into the market.
Though, they need to prove their achievements first - this is only rumors; buy it, and sell the news later!  Wink

It's already owned by Facebook IIRC.

They don't want to be left behind by the rise of cryptocurrency wave. Actually, I was expecting them to be the frontrunner of this crypto revolution as they encompass a big market already. But then, new crypto users should know how to handle the security of their accounts, else, there will be stealing of funds, left and right. But of course, this is still good news for old crypto users. This might expand the usage of crypto faster and eventually contributing to the steady increase of bitcoin's price.  Grin
