3121  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I've sold all my altcoins! on: March 17, 2017, 04:52:50 AM
Now u have learnt a lesson. i was not sure of the SEC approval and the altcoin were dumping then, couldnt afford selling the profitable coin at low cost but buy more. Now coinmarketcap is looking beautiful daily. the pump will be in the next few months, If u can still afford some lucrative coin buy them
3122  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So no one cares about ETF decision, right? on: March 16, 2017, 06:20:57 PM
We haven't seen any huge downfall (as expected) after the decision of ETF. Do you think that we as bitcoin users have not paid any value to the ETF's decision?

In the case of disapproval, the predictions were floating around below $1,000 mark but we haven't seen any such mark.

Is it too early to speak about it or we have given a message to the world something like this?



Interested in exploring community's opinion about it. Bears must be disappointed because they lost the chance to short for huge points.
The reason I can adduced to that is that people in this crypto-world e are getting more mature that we no longer give in to series of panic selling and that all not all news we allow to influence our decisions concerning bitcoin. When the momentum was high concerning what will happen to bitcoin if the decision is negative, I hold the believe that whether ETF or no ETF bitcoin will still stand and we will still be here and thats exactly what happened...
Bitcoin is also producing history, and history helps in decision making. People dont want to repeat their mistakes, more so news of speculations are everywhere. more analyst than we use to have. this can save from mistakes
3123  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The danger of the cyptocurrencies on: March 16, 2017, 06:06:35 AM
The danger in cryptocurrency is cybersecurity and ignorance of the user. Users must know enough to handle its privacy and the wallet, forum like this can protect against spam projects. Projects managers should work to protect against bugs and hacks.
3124  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: March 16, 2017, 05:57:57 AM
better to invest in bitcoin, gold maybe more secure, but bitcoin has more potential to grow

saving money in the bank, will only mean losing them in the long-term with the current high inflation

I totally agree  Wink
Better invest in stocks or bitcoins. Few years from now, everything is "online".
Friend that'e where bitcoins holds a upper hand than compared to fiat, I understand your question that if we deposit money to bank ( saving it ) then they pay little interest and it's like killing money. But actually in bitcoins the price increase is so rapid and humongous that if we just save it then we literally double our money in a span of an year hardly.


But investing in bitcoin is risky. After all, no one can guess what will happen tomorrow with a cryptocurrency. Therefore, I think that some money should be simply stored, and part of it should be invested in reliable projects

Not only bitcoins but each and every investment is risky and people takes that risk of investing either in bitcoin or anywhere else and if you are mentally prepared for the risk factor attached with investments then its good to invest in bitcoins as if it performs well in future then it has an potential to give some extra ordinary returns on investments which may not possible with any other investment.
It is safer when you have educated yourself on the project and those managing it. There is also a time to leave an investment to get your profit and get another investment.
3125  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][KMD][dPoW] Komodo - Zcash Zero Knowledge Privacy Secured by Bitcoin on: March 16, 2017, 01:59:10 AM
So if the hacker was able to mine block after block... does that indicate the hacker is running a notary node?...... as Notary Nodes get to mine most blocks......I'm asking this as I have not seen this conspiracy theory

raised yet..... I struggle with lets run decentralized coin by centralizing most of the mining power, sounds a little oxymoronic to me.......Anyway if someone can explain how someone could mine block after block I for one

would love to know how....AFAIK this is the real question

Cheers Jon  Wink
I understand
notary nodes sign each block they mine
attacker used GPU to mine and when he was the only one left mining on his chain, he was getting all the blocks.

you can do that with any coin, even bitcoin. Just disconnect from all peers and start mining. When you go on a fork, you often end up mining many blocks, its just not anything others will recognize.

64 nodes is a bit of a distance away from being centralized. Many coins have about that many total nodes. KMD has all the notary nodes, plus mining pools and independent miners, all able to mine blocks. Current balance is about 70% notary nodes, 30% others, but some of the big mining pools are not back online yet, I think we will end up in the 40/60 to 60/40 range.

By dividing the blocks in to roughly equal halves, neither population can get any confidence to conduct an attack and this provides more security

Thank you for your reply. I understand mining your own fork...... I don't understand how could they then move them onto exchange if they were not recognized on real blockchain. Surely the

transaction should never have been confirmed during deposit to exchange.

As for centralization...... being ether one of 64 who get to mine 50% or one of millions who get to mine 50%, your correct very little difference

Cheers Jon  Cool 



There was a bug that allowed  him to create more coins each time he found a block. The bug was similar to the bug Bitcoin had in its early days.

More info here: https://supernet.org/en/resources/updates/komodo-bug-found-how-we-defeated-an-attack

Any updates on a bug free wallet?

Yes,

A lot better version can be downloaded from here: github.com/SuperNETorg/iguana/releases

We are going to make installers, and after that it will be available on supernet.org too.
Reaction to the threat is impressive, just need assurance it wont happen again, a promise for a future rally. provide more trade in poloniex to impress and improve the demand.

3127  Other / Off-topic / Re: How are you earning BTC? on: March 15, 2017, 07:43:34 PM
After reading almost 60% replies here I have concluded that there is no best way to eaen bitcoin than signature campaigns on this forum.
Every other method mentioned here either involves some kind of risk (gambling, trading) or low earnings (faucets,pay to click).

Even without browsing through all posts here (of which the majority is pure spam), you could come to the concolusion that everything that doesn't require an initial investment in form of coin or fiat, is the best (risk-free) way. From there it's up to you to decide what you consider to be a time/effort worthy practice that translates into you earning whatever amount of money/coins. In that regard, signature campaigns are the obvious winner since you get paid for something you are doing anyway.
If this is true, It save the effort of reading through. Campaign is risk free, earn bitcoin and save or spend. If it is all that u do, one can lose a lot to spending. Putting a small percentage in trading sometimes,might teach taking risk

3 min is a long time, It shouldn't be free. it will do well and faster at service section with some reward, since it is a dissertation.

So now that it's in Services, why does it appear to be unpaid? Bitcoin Discussion for free/voluntary.
you wont know if I took the survey. Will you?

I like join egaas bounty,  success to egaas
Thank's info bounty
oh, someone missing this bounty, you are too late dude.
please read OP or previous post.

egaas open plan in march 2017 to second ico selling
so maybe next time can open second bounty to, because in ico selling need promotion again
It is not encouraging what is happening at egaas. One will only participate at the ICO if there are no ICO during theirs. They are so fortunate no one is calling is it a scam and yet doing this. Even the viable ones are in hot air. They need to be reassuring to get something out of the ICO.
3130  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens? on: March 15, 2017, 06:22:11 AM
Bitcoin is usually used by people interested in technology. I mean, persons with a certain technical knowledge are interested in bitcoin.

My observations are that way. I think Bitcoin needs to reach larger quantities. Can use bitcoin in people who are not interested in technology?
Can people use the bitcoin in the profession group like tradesmen, teachers, housewives, firemen, butchers? Are we going to see the days that these people use bitcoin?

Anyone can utilize bitcoin whether ordinary people or known personality but with the background of what bitcoin really is. Without prior knowledge of technology it is really hard to comprehend what bitcoin is. At first anyone can assume it is complicated since they don't have enough idea about bitcoin. But if you are really eager in knowing such theres no doubt you cant use bitcoin.
I think there is a need to know something in bitcoin but not all. How to use your wallet and exchange is what is most important for the so called ordinary citizen. Security issues need to be understood, to keep being a bitcoin owners.
3131  Economy / Speculation / Re: When do you think Bitcoin will reach $1500? on: March 15, 2017, 05:56:54 AM
I say by the end of December for sure, but feeling the summer is a possibility as well.  Your thoughts ?
Your opinion was my bet at the beginning of the year. It wont struggle to attain this at the end of the year. Every sign showed a high adoption rate even in Africa. The adoption will keep increasing and this will fight any scare of dump because of the high demand to supply

3133  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin may need to be HIGH-VOLUME digital cash to survive on: March 15, 2017, 05:46:04 AM
There are plenty of examples of things that are stores of great value, that have _extremely_ low transaction volumes, and yet persist as a store of value. Collectibles, for example. Artwork, stamps, antiques, classic cars, numismatics, you name it.

So I'm pretty sure we don't _need_ a high volume for bitcoin to survive or thrive.  But I'll agree that high volume trumps low volume, especially as it relates to fees. And I'd like cryptocurrency to be more than just digital gold.


Every recent challenges showed that bitcoin has what he needs to survive. If I never believe that before I now do. It will grow with time to achieve everything is made for. It has a good will even among those who can damage it. Time will give us what we want, It is still young as a decentralized entity
3134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will save the elite. on: March 15, 2017, 05:32:40 AM
For now it looks true but some factor make it so. I expect a  more internet world sooner, where internet is everywhere in the world. I expect also government creating there own cryptocurrency where that can control and invest into bitcoin, then more online store for daily exchange of bitcoin but by then bitcoin would have hit a high value

there's absolutely no way I would ever trust a site that show "The DAO" on their welcome page as one of the coins. LOL
This should be of little concern and should not be the responsibility of a wallet to secure the DAO project. The objective is to secure the coin with them. If you consider this, then you have a lot wallet not to work with.

2018 mainnet Smiley
it is very long to see bitcoin go to the moon and maybe I'll bookmark this

Yes, i think 2018 is verry long time for mainnet and coin distributions Smiley
This was the first challenge I noticed with the project. A comment was made on the first page of the thread and was not handle seriously. To invest in project that will hold your fund down for more than a year is not the wisest thing to do while some project even at beta stage are coming with ICO. Even projects that didnt give us dates are giving us concern, most of them will receive fund and hibernate without any updates on blogs, tweet and site. It is a difficult decision to invest into.
3137  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin on its way to $1,300 on: March 13, 2017, 05:16:57 AM
Looks like FOMO is kicked in. People expected bitcoin to crash harder after the SEC rejected the ETF, but the price recovered, it was stable for a while. People was with the finger on the trigger, waiting for further crashing, it didn't happen so people got desperate and FOMO kicked in.
Dump  was expected but the number of buyers were more than sellers because people anticipate the dump and trader are waiting to exploit it. Since the demand was more than the supply the market had to adjust to it. Bitcoin is at a stage that market cant cause a dip for long time before it recovers, it is only the newbie that could make such mistake. Now we should expect a gradual rise to 1500 by June even with chinese factor
3138  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is a good investment now, because... on: March 12, 2017, 08:17:39 PM
Bitcoin is a pretty good method of making money if you know how the whole thing works. The only reasons why someone would lose money is if they don't know what Bitcoin is and they just don't know how to hold their coins when the price goes up small percentages.

I am pretty sure that everyone that purchased Bitcoin on the most popular Bitcoin Exchanges before the year of 2015 has made money with Bitcoin if they were holding their Bitcoins.
Yes those people who bought bitcoin before or late 2015 already made a lot of money from their investment in bitcoin but it is not too late for newbies who want to start an investment on bitcoin because it is always good for long term and it already have different proofs on the price chart so i think even you buy bitcoin now, you can still make profit by holding it for long term.

Price has gone very rapidly to higher level in recent few months so even who have bought their coins 6 months back would also be enjoying great profits at a moment and if you are a long term holder then you can even afford to buy at current price as in long term price will sure touch new heights which can give best returns on investments.
Bitcoin is thriving to many, and equally also struggling to me, I believe It would have gone pass this, if not for some factors. A lot had worked to bring it down, from china PBOC to SEC rejection but the reaction to it shows the acceptabilityof so many. The more acceptability the better for the value. I believe it will hit a stable value between 1500-2000 by december

Keep buying or holding your icn guys... the sight to the moon is clear  Grin

Quick noob question guys.

What is the best and easiest way to buy some ICONOMI coins?

Kraken is probably the best exchange for ICONOMI...most volume.
just in case u cant get on kraken exchange u can also get account with liqui, it has a good volume of ICONOMI also

Would better if we can trading on bittrex or poloniex too.
both exchanges is a good volume of altcoins.
Maybe they are not ready to agree some terms with those exchanges; Their demands are usually different. Which ever it goes, Poloniex will find profit trading ICONOMI
