true. and thank you.

for anonymous transactions which is your top pick ? Monero, DeepOnion,  or (insert other here)? or avoid like the plague due to the illicit nature of these coins?

Thanks guys. I will keep those in mind. Do you guys have any experience mining? Is this something that would be worth leaving my desktop or laptop on all day? or is setting up your own rig the only way to make decent profit?

Hi guys, this is my first post, and I wanted to gather some feedback on what people more seasoned than me in the crypto sphere thought of my upcoming "investment" strategy.

For starters, I have plenty of safe investments in my regular boring old retirement account. So please do not tell me to just buy BTC or ETH and hold. I am looking for high risk, high reward altcoins. I just bought $100 of ETH to start, I will eventually use that to purchase some of the coins mentioned below. This is money I am willing to lose 100% (hopefully not). I am starting with $100 USD for now.

These are some of the coins that from reading the forums seem more legit. I have also done MY OWN RESEARCH, but any additional info or tips from seasoned veterans would be very much appreciated.

IOTA: PROS: seems very promising, good team, deal with microsoft (if its still on?) - CONS: would need +700billion marketcap to be 1000x (could still happen in theory?)

HIVE: CONS: team seems sketchy as half of them come from slovenia and bulgaria (bulgaria is notorious for corruption) PROS: Invoice financing on a blockchain. finally started growing a marketcap, genesis mining has a 30% stake and they just opened a new data center. pletes-Acquisition-of-Data-Centre-in-Iceland-and-Forms-Strategic-Partnership-with-Genesis-Mining-590667]http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/HIVE-[Suspicious link removed]pletes-Acquisition-of-Data-Centre-in-Iceland-and-Forms-Strategic-Partnership-with-Genesis-Mining-590667

Linx: PROS: Music industry is huge! CONS: not a lot of info on the team, problems with their wallet. seems kinda scammy

OPUS: same as above.

Lykke: PROS: based in Switzerland. good team. Switzerland. CONS: still looking for one (please enlighten me)

Ripple: PROS: Bank of America is adopting ripple CONS: will never be 1000x (maybe im wrong lol)

Other coins im currently considering are the ones i see mentioned alot : Golem, NEM, Lisk, Ox, stratis, waves etc.

I am also looking for more info/opinion on Shift, Verge, Blockcat, SONM, Florincoin, neblio, ark, EOS.

Thanks, and please be nice lol
