321  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to hold coins in 2018 on: May 02, 2018, 04:36:45 PM
If im going to invest in a coin/token long term I personally hold until it does a 2x and then sell half of what I initially bought. This way I can hold the rest with 0 risk since even if the coin/token goes to 0 I would still be even. It works really well for me and it's very easy to hold once it reaches a 2x
322  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Careful with Coinmarketcap on: May 02, 2018, 04:32:40 PM
Coinmarketcap was great but eventually it's becoming outdated. They recently launched their mobile app, finally, probably too late though. Everyone already uses some portfolio app for cryptos. CMC is used less and less because it doesn't really offer anything other than prices and exchanges, it doesn't even have a portfolio option.
323  Economy / Exchanges / Re: IDEX exchange hacked on: May 02, 2018, 02:09:37 PM
This is the problem with decentralized exchanges, people lost hundreds of thousands of dollars on etherdelta, granted ED was garbage but that's what happens on decentralized exchanges. 1 wrong button or key push and you can lose a lot of money. I personally think IDEX is amazing and works really well but problems like these will happen to beginners all the time. Hopefully OP did save his private key, I think there is a window prompt when you first start using IDEX with your wallet showing you your private key and telling you to save it.
324  Economy / Speculation / Re: The whole TETHER thing still on the agenda for a BTC collapse on: May 02, 2018, 02:06:22 PM
But if tether were to collapse wouldn't that push the market upwards? Everyone would want to get rid of tether and exchange it for any other coin at any price, right? Unless tether stops working as a currency and literally can't have any transactions people would just transfer their usdt into any coin pushing the price upwards.

if you sell Dogecoin for bitcoin, will bitcoin price go up? the same is true about Tether. if it falls and people start selling it for other coins (like selling it to get bitcoin) those coins prices won't go up. not that in case of a fall Tether will no longer be worth $1, so for example you have to exchanges 50,000 tether for 1BTC.

but the price may drop only because of panic. mainly because fall of Tether means fall of one of the biggest exchanges (bitfinex) and that can cause panic and panic sells to follow and price to go down.

But a tether would still be a tether even if it ''collapses''. The only way it fails is if it's confirmed that they can't back every tether with dollars. It would be weird because even if that happens there is no reason for cryptocurrencies to fall in price compared to tether

i agree that there is no reason for price to drop but it will happen. @gentlemand above gave an interesting answer. it is about Perception Tongue
for example back when Bitfinex was hacked in 2016 there was no reason for bitcoin price to drop but people still panicked and crashed the market about 33%

I understand the point of about perception. It's like that most of the times, most news have literally no real impact on cryptos themselves but prices are still affected by them. My point was that if tether would still be 1 tether, everyone would be buying bitcoin or any other tether pair at any price just to get rid of tethers pushing the price up.

326  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why not every crypto is decentralized ? on: May 01, 2018, 11:56:39 PM
Well, nothing ''should'' be anything, everyone is free to use the blockchain technology as they want. There are far more applications to it than cryptos. Decentralized isn't always a good idea, just like communism. In theory it's amazing but in practice it's much harder to make it work. Look at decentralized exchanges, they are amazing but they can still have security breaches, they can be really slow sometimes and there is no insurance for your coins if they get stolen.

328  Economy / Exchanges / Re: How to deposit at bittrex on: May 01, 2018, 01:45:44 AM
I would suggest to not use Bittrex unless you have and willing to verify your account using your document such as Passport or ID Card.
If I'm not wrong, in order to be able to generate deposit address on Bittrex you just need to confirm your email and phone number.
But, in order to withdraw you need to verify again using document I mentioned above.

Yeah, don't use bittrex at all. Their verification process was an absolute pain in the ass, borderline a scam making hundreds of thousands wait for months to get verified not to mention the countless disabled accounts for no reason. Their support system was absolutely horrible, I just don't trust them and always remember that history tends to repeat itself.

Ok, that's pretty fucking annoying honestly. Bitstamp would ask you for that kind of information too when you are trying to withdraw large amounts of fiat. I understand they are basically obligated to do so but the process is so painful and literally against what cryptocurrencies are supposed to be. I agree that in a way they are basically scamming you, they should at least let you withdraw your coins but in the end they are just applying the law so I don't know how much you can do legally.

The Twitter issue has been solved.

About the bounty portal. Is there something else that we have to do besides connecting accounts and meeting the requirements, once the campaign ends and all stakes are calculated, will we get the tokens directly on the eth provided on the bounty portal website or do we have to do anything else?

333  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Getting started w/ modest initial investment - Mining, trading and more, worthwh on: April 29, 2018, 05:21:04 PM
Mining is definitely not the best thing to do. I personally think it's a waste of time unless you are planning to have a huge rig. It's going to take months just to recover the initial investment but even if you already have the gpus ready, the electricity cost and the fact that you are not going to mine a lot still makes it quite useless. A lot of people mine alt coins hoping they will increase in price but you could just buy them directly instead of mining them.

For trading, really short term can be quite a headache in cryptos. 5-10% moves can happen not only daily but hourly and sometimes within minutes. I prefer swing trading which is a longer term trading, basically you wait for the market to enter a bear or bull trend and you try to get in at the best price setting your stop losses to not be too tight.
334  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to get your token listed on Exchanges? - By Assetrush team on: April 25, 2018, 01:25:57 PM
Are you saying that you guys have a special relationship with those major exchanges and it you would make it easier for a coin to get listed? ''We have made special agreements and developed professional partnerships with exchanges for the profitable listing of tokens.'' What does that mean exactly?

Hello,

Yes, we have a close relationship with almost all major exchanges. We take care of all the listing processes (documents, applications, documentations) and are able to speed up the process of getting a listing.

We are also able to provide community management services, as well as marketing and technical (whitepaper, smart contract etc.)

For an exchange/wallet listing we don't charge any pre-payment so if you are interested, feel free to contact me via david@assetrush.com and I'll provide you with detailed information about us and give you advice/suggestions regarding any field you are interested in.

What does it mean that you don't charge any pre-payment exactly. Can I ask for a listing, get listed and pay after my coin gets listed or how does it work exactly, do you have any vouchers or is it a new service?
335  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Best Exchanges For Margin Trading on: April 25, 2018, 12:47:41 PM
I'm interested to hear what people find to be the best exchanges.

Inparticularly I'm interested in exchanges with a wide array of margin pairings.

I'm in the United States so Bitfinex is sadly off limits to me.

Poloniex is ok but they don't allow bitcoin margins, only a few altcoins.

So let's hear it, anybody have exchange reccomendations?



Kraken, Poloniex, Bittrex, Gemini, Gdax, Cryptopia, Livecoin, yobit, coinexchange.io, bitstamp, where else?

I would actually recommend Bitmex. They probably have the most lucrative leveraging out of all the exchanges out there but sometimes you are not trading the real thing but rather futures/derivatives which you might not want.

I would not recommend poloniex, as they have severe issues with their customer support.

You could also use Kraken, i haven't tested it out myself though.

Bitmex DOES NOT accept US clients and OP said he is from the US. Unfortunately most brokers usually decline US customers. All the exchanges I use do not admit US clients but you can find some here:

Yeah pretty clear that they are scamming. Although a lot of comments in the ann section are usually shit, the first page of their thread is literally filled with 3-4 words from new accounts, hopefully a DT member sees this and marks them.
337  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM/REPORT/COMPLAINT/CLAIM] BITCASINO.IO on: April 25, 2018, 12:39:11 PM
Sorry for my bad english. I am from germany and do not often visit other countries.

What happened:
One day a few weeks ago my wife and I have checked the bank account of my son.
We saw that there was a lot of money missing, so we have asked him where the money is.
He told us that he has some real gambling problems and feels addicted.
Then he showed us his accounts on the sites "bitcasino.io".
He doesn't only have one account. He has three of them!
Starting in 2015 (back then he was still 15!) he was gambling almost every week.
Not only small amounts but also big amounts.
In just one accounts he lost more than 16 BTC which is a lot!
Since gambling isn't allowed for person underage, we have contacted the casino.
They've asked us to verify our identity.
So Ive send them 15 pictures.
-Picture of my ID (front; rear; a selfie, holding the ID)
-Picture of my wifes ID (front; rear; a selfie, holding the ID)
-Picture of my sons ID (front; rear; a selfie, holding the ID)
-Several address verifications (Bank statements, Insurance letters, even a picture of our mailbox i.f. of our house with the address on it)

After a long time they've told us that there were some deposits made using a few sites such as
-Coinify
-Anycoindirect
-Virwox
-Bitstamp

They've asked us for the email-adress/usernames of those accounts, but how should we know about these accounts.
After asking our son he told us that he bought the bitcoins from people online, paying high fees and using vouchers/giftcards such as paysafecard.
So he almost never bought these bitcoins by himself. Just one time he bought some from a dutch site called "bit4coin" back in 2015.

In addition to that he received some (vip) gifts from the casino and all of these where shipped to his address/name.

The casino never made a KYC-Verification!



Userlink: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=207035



The casino is already reported as a scam so I don't think you are going to have much luck. Are you trying to recover the funds lost because your son was underage when he started gambling? I doubt you can, first of all how can you prove it was him gambling and not you? Even if you can, that doesn't mean you are going to get your money back.

Hello community,

I'm part of the team Crypto Community Foundation.
Our goal is to educate community in relation to crypto projects. One of our first articles is dedicated to crypto security. As you can see, someone gets hacked quite often lately. Ian Balina, Myetherwallet, .. With our crypto security tips and tricks will be hard for every hacker to steal your cryptos.

Article link - https://medium.com/@C_Community/hackers-everywhere-how-to-keep-your-crypto-wealth-safe-79be9d7931d3

Feel free to join our Facebook and Twitter page, if you like our article.
Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/CryptoCommunityFoundation/
Twitter - https://twitter.com/crypto_CCF

To be fair, though, famous people get hacked because they are personally targeted and because they leave a lot of personal information behind even if they don't want to. The chances of me or you getting hacked randomly are pretty slim, specially if you don't click suspicious links and have a decent anti-virus/malware. Some of these articles exaggerate a lot. As long as you keep your coins in your personal wallet, you are pretty safe.
340  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Anywhere to see how much an ICO has raised after it's closed? on: April 25, 2018, 10:43:12 AM
There are plenty of websites mate. https://icodrops.com/ico-stats/

Click on each ICO and you can see how much they raised and their goal. I'm sure they have most of them but you can always search google for ''ico stats''

Nah man, actually this site you provide doesn't offer any of the information the OP is asking for.

The site you provided offers current market stats related to price per token, market capitalization, and ROI over predetermined time periods from the current day.

What the site does not do is provide any insight on how much was raised form the ICO. This information isn't often public. People can guess, if they know how big the offering was at the time of the issuance, but it's not widely available nor is it on "plenty of websites."

https://icodrops.com/auctus/

Token Sale   ended
17 APRIL
$3,865,575
OF
$3,900,000 (99%)

It does say how much they raised tho. Maybe not all of it but it does give you a pretty good idea. It's on the right of the video when you click an ICO.
