The motto "if you can't beat them join them" rings poignantly true in this scenario. I speculate that once the conditions are correct, blockchains may serve as a database for many governmental and corporate institutions. It may even be infiltrated by many governments or corporations by being implemented through a social security / identification network. What good is a decentralized network if every node is recognized? This is a dark dystopian idea but I think that this is possibly the only way any authoritative force can disrupt cryptocurrency. We've seen that it had been done to the Tor network - who's to say it wouldn't happen with blockchain technology. 

Bot trading is probably only useful for those who have a large sum of cryptocurrency - we see consistent sell walls where the amount being sold is consistent or where the buy orders and amount are consistent and repeating successively. I normally see "whales" doing this at incredible speeds to either hike up a a coins value or destroy it. For the average joe bot's probably wouldn't be as effective in my opinion. I trust myself more than I do a bot regardless.

You've got me curious, so 635000000000000 (which is the average middle point for the range of the color of blue) divided by 2 a multitude of times brings me to the oscillating frequency of 577.5291356258094. So give or take its like 578 hertz.

So go here and put in 578 hertz. http://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/.

At least I think thats right.

The color blue in the visible spectrum is about 450–495 nm in wave length and 606–668 THz in frequency of light. if THz is 10¹² Hz, just tune it down by halfing it to remain in the same octave.

Breathe. Realize that you are breathing. Be grateful that you are breathing.

When you take any situation you have and compare it to the totality of the universe - It makes it much more easier to cope.

hundreds of millions of other sperm cells died to be where you are right now.

One thing I can't stress enough is - write down all your passwords / phrase codes / google authenticator IDs and never ever store it anywhere digital. 2FA is a must as well - just like everyones saying..

that's a cute combination of words, "ethereum killer". Ethereum has far too much traction to be "killed" any time soon. at least 80% of alts depend on the ethereum network in one way or another through its development. In the end - yes, eventually ethereum will meet its predecessor but at the moment it's a staggering feat to accomplish

Ah ok that makes much more sense, I'm still a little skeptical but I'm excited to see how this will turn out.

hm, I'm skeptical. As soon as I joined the telegram channel they were deleting posts on how this was a scam while asking for private keys.

I wont lie to you - I've divulged in the schemes of ICOs and Start-ups. I am just as guilty as the next (my signature yields no revocation to this matter, I know..) - Yet, as guilty as i am I can still feel the young vigorous and rebellious nature that BTC once had when it was the revolutionizing singularity in crypto-space. Reading through Satoshi's last posts...- I feel abandoned, seeing that even the legendary/hero members related in his posts have deserted this platform long ago. All that is fruitful here is a facade of marketers and con men wishing to out scheme the next. I feel like I missed the real revolution. Is it only myself that feels this way ...?

This would go under alt coin discussion, not alt coin announcements.

Exchanges are vulnerable to many problems - Mt Gox being the epitome of examples. As everyone is saying here its just unethical to store any sort of value in an exchange for long term. I understand that for the most part they are necessary - so whenever I intend on exchanging coins I focus on long term holds. I literally have my money on an exchange for an intended purpose and for 30 minutes at most (depending on transaction times) - after that it is transferred to a wallet that I have private keys for.

This isn't malicious at all. I actually think this is a great idea - I would rather mine for them than see obnoxious / obtrusive ads

Bitcoin is an ushering revolution that is quietly taken place by every modern citizen of any / every nation. This modest form of currency will eventually become the new norm once it's understood well enough. As everyone else is saying the more you understand the better - spread the knowledge of it. A friend of mine had informed me last year to check out BTC and buy some. I didn't take the time to research it and I didn't care to buy it because I assumed 200$ for one bitcoin is a rip off. If only I had known what it actually was before I assumed it's value.

MBRS at the moment. The lead dev is super transparent and the community is talkative and helpful. I see it being big starting november.

I feel it's a lot more consumer friendly and less obtrusive to have a website sustain its revenue on mining. If it becomes more profitable than advertising then there may be big changes, Though I only think this would be a symbiotic relationship for advertisers - If anything wouldn't a webmaster like to make money from Ads as well as Mining at the same time? I'm going on a tangent - regardless, thorough post and nice topic.

I don't agree that marketing consists of the complete success of an ICO. Yes it can be crucial for most coins but I've seen many ICOs with barely any marketing making it big. What I think is that actual selling point of any project is its functionality in everyday use. It's getting harder and harder for ICOs to come up with original ideas for these kinds of projects. Now all we see are the same ideas regurgitated by rivaling startups just +1 then the next. Original ideas and strong ethics in development is truly what stands out further than marketing in the long run.

I have to agree with this - the amount of ICOs and tokens that are dependent on ERC-20 just validates it.

I remember this picking up some serious traction until they released their buggy wallet - and since then, this coin has been thrown under the bus. It's easy to understand why it fell off but in the long run do you think this may have potential?

Despite it's dark and muggy design, the team is very transparent and endearing and their idea seems solid, am i wrong?

What everyone is saying just about sums it up. Slack and Telegram is to what Myspace is to Facebook. I've always thought slack was slacking to creating a user friendly chat system (... I'm not funny....). Slack = Give E-mail > Go through a pointless tutorial , Telegram > just join the group.
Not to mention the bug with slack and e-mail phishers.
