I personally think its a wait till february as January is quite unpredictable due to people taking profits and we've had a lot happen in this month on top of that

1. BCC ponzi collapse
2. Governmental taxes/shutdowns
3. A lot of inexperienced money flow that might overreact to circumstances.

But I can easily see BTC retrace back to 8k. Just wondering when are we calling something a ''healthy pullback'' or ''correction'' and when are we speaking of a crash? If this was stocks this would be an utter disaster crash.

Nee niet echt, stake coins zijn vaak ook dingen die je moet vasthouden voor een langere periode, tenzij ze in de top50 staan zou ik het zelf wel overwegen zoals Cardano. Maar over het algemeen is het een risico vanwege de prijs fluctuaties. Kan wel een aardig centje verdienen, had eventjes LuxCoin gestaket maar aangezien ik me wallet en computer dan 24/7 moet runnen heb ik ervan afgezien, prijs is wel 40x gegaan.

1. Don't spam
2. Quality posts only
3. Don't post referral links


Just use common sense...

Already deleted the whole thing so I wouldn't accidently press it again... no idea what the site was it had this infamous ''.'' on one of the letters, seen it a lot of with Etherdelta links where they put a dot under the h.
The whole thing was really bad english aswell, I know that its fairly easy for anyone without any technical skills with the help of a program to duplicate sites and then host them under a different name.

I personally think it was some low income country(English was horrible, 1st redflag) that just duplicated a website and tried to be clever to get me to follow the next link to a fake MEW as the article was about parity bug being found in every other ethereum wallet except for MEW and that I should go check really quick, making a transfer to check if it still works.

Atleast my reasoning is calming me down.. thank god for logic huh? It really relaxes me the more I think and try to rationalize what happened to understand what I was exposed to.

Anyway I did download and run some programs such as CCleaner and MalwareBytes (which was recommended as a really good one) MalwareBytes found 1 threat but nothing that I recognize that could have been from that phising site and its deleted now.

I am going to increase security though as this was fucking scary, especially since I had a really good day trading and I can't stand to think I'd lose that money....

:|

not really no... but the website was targeted at me filling out sensitive info.. so I suppose a virus is a little far fetched if the website is designed specifically for me to voluntairly give up information?

Well Mcafee can't find anything, also scanned my other computer which runs AVG and it also can't find anything. I suppose its safe but I'm paranoid as hell right now. I don't even dare opening MEW or any other exchange website, I keep thinking that my anti-virus must have missed something.

I looked online into phising and supposedly they can also inject some malware/spyware into your browser upon visiting a website, but I suppose my anti-virus would pick it up?


edit; I downloaded and installed some extra programs recommended as being specialised in the problem I suspect i'm infected with, they couldn't find anything aswell so I guess I got lucky this time.

yeah I use McAfee

For safety reasons I'd rather not, I'm on my laptop and tried to copypaste the link and landed on it again.... so I really rather not...

I pasted a phising link into my browser, I didn't do anything else though and as soon as I realised it was a phising link I clicked it away.

Anything I need to do? Or am I still safe since I didn't download anything or shared sensitive info? Bit if a noob on these things some help would be appreciated.

I just drink untill I can't think.


(just joking)

Yeah exactly, BTC used to be fast and cheap but right now people outbid eachother to get into the next block so the fees are very high. There is Lightning Network coming to cure the issue but that can still take a long time. The problem you describe is why BTC forked and there's now BitcoinCash which still lives up to the ancient promise of BTC's low fee and fast transactions.

Sorry


There's still the advantage of no middle man and sending to anyone in the world P2P, can't do that with a creditcard.

I personally think they're just aidropping small amounts with a big premine so they can dump, stirring hype to jack up the price. But yeah it looks awefull and they claim they have ''the best team''.. can't even make a website.

I'm not sure about the bounty situation as I'm not involved in the distribution, but I received all the tokens that I was supposed to receive.

In all fairness, bounty hunters have been low-quality-spamming the telegram for weeks about their bounty payment even when a proper date was announced for distribution.

The bans started coming because the discussion had no ending, bounty hunters kept claiming they are unpaid and the members of the project kept stating their terms & conditions, Its not suprising these bounty hunters that kept flooding the chat got banned because it became a serious annoyance for the community.


I understand you have some bias here as you obviously think you're right, else you wouldn't be making this thread. But the team and community has put up with the bounty hunters flooding and spamming for weeks at a time before taking drastic measures such as banning them from telegram. I think your statement is misplaced and I think the team has every right to deny payment of certain bounties when they deem it wasn't of quality, fraudelent or somehow else infringed their said terms & conditions.

Also very few are complaining about not receiving payments, so you should ask yourself first if you did anything that could have given the team a reason to not pay you, such as fraudelent behaviour. The ones that do complain are spamming the telegram up big time, as I said... so don't be suprised to get banned for that.

Gov shutdown? what? Also I wouldn't necessarily put Bitcoins rally and altcoins rally in the category of being caused by this news. Seems like a BTC rally was coming for some time now...

Coin ''X'', X stands for the undisclosed coin that it is. It is a coin you can send/transact with that has 0 fees and under 3 second confirmation, it is also a privacy coin. Can you guess which it is?

It also has a fully functional platform on which ICOs can launch, ICOs get their independent blockchain unlike for example Ethereum where everything goes onto a single Blockchain. ICOs have been held on this ledger and more are scheduled for the near future.

Can you guess the coin?


another hint: You can stake the coin for dividends

Stock market is in a bubble, also there's an impending housing crash coming. Better stock up on Bitcoins

I'd say help people in your local community, charity organisations often are not what they seem. They either have their own agenda, take huge cuts on what they receive in donations or are simply running a scam.

inb4 massive premine and tears caused by dumping. No it looks like complete garbage and the fact that they're actively speculating on the price makes it even worse/illegal (though current regulations don't make it illegal).

Also they claim a lot, trying to stir hype on their rubbish. Plus aidropped coins don't ever really do that well since there's always massive dumping. There's no incentive to hold because no one really cares/invested in it. People are just looking to dump it on the next sucker. With ICOs you pay for you have plenty of dedicated investors that work with the project and community to build something worthwile. I can't see this being anything worthwile to get into.

With miners you have electricity costs and network support. There needs to be economic incentives for a project to succeed, not just:

''Get in our ICO noa because 100x and it will be 50k per coin..''

Doesn't work that way sorry.

Not sure, their UI is complete garbage. But it would be nice to effortlessly pick something up on ED.
