361  Economy / Invites & Accounts / [W] Boxfuse account on: September 02, 2017, 12:56:38 PM
Hello people!

I would like to buy a premium account at Boxfuse(dot)com. The price really depends on what plan the account is enrolled in. I am not interested in stolen/second-hand accounts. We must use a trusted escrow.

DM me please if you have an offer!
362  Economy / Exchanges / Kraken | Whole lot and lot? on: August 27, 2017, 12:23:21 PM
Hello!

I develop a web application with Kraken API. When I request the API's Ticker method, I get the proper arrays, as it is stated in the API documentation:

Code:
<pair_name> = pair name
    a = ask array(<price>, <whole lot volume>, <lot volume>),
    b = bid array(<price>, <whole lot volume>, <lot volume>),
    c = last trade closed array(<price>, <lot volume>),
    v = volume array(<today>, <last 24 hours>),
    p = volume weighted average price array(<today>, <last 24 hours>),
    t = number of trades array(<today>, <last 24 hours>),
    l = low array(<today>, <last 24 hours>),
    h = high array(<today>, <last 24 hours>),
    o = today's opening price


At array 'a' and 'b', what is the difference between "whole lot volume" and "lot volume"?

Greetings,
PremiumCodeX
363  Bitcoin / Project Development / Lightweight VM client to run Linux-only projects on: July 23, 2017, 06:19:56 PM
Some BTC projects do not have yet or ever desktop client for Windows.

If I wish to use them, I need a virtual machine software.
But I would use it only to run a small software client and keep running other programs in the mother-OS so I would like to keep it lightweight.

What lightweight VM client could I use on a Windows OS?

What, no one has anything? Don't you want to help @Trnsmssn? He is a nice member, deserves some help. I too think that this topic deserves some appreciation and I could hardly find information about it around the forum.
365  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Sites like Predictious on: July 05, 2017, 08:37:05 PM
I would need to know about similar sites, but which accept altcoins, preferably ETH, as a deposit/withdrawal option. I hope you can help.

I read that crypto-development gave a boost to these so-called "prediction-markets". Still I hardly know a few of them :/
366  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Our prediction-markets on: July 05, 2017, 08:27:59 PM
I consider buying any crypto-currency a "prediction". Similarly to putting your prediction at a prediction-market, you expect a certain amount of rise in price and a deadline until you expect it to happen. As volatile as crypto-currencies are, I do not see such a big difference between making a prediction at a prediction-market and "making your prediction" at a crypto-exchange.



But let us return to the original point of the discussion please. I am looking for actual prediction-markets and where I can find them Smiley

Predictious (Thanks for suggesting) is interesting, but I would love to read about more.
367  Economy / Marketplace / Our prediction-markets on: July 04, 2017, 08:43:25 PM
Hey!

I wish using prediction-markets in order to increase the return from my crypto investments.

What are the LEGIT prediction-markets out there with crypto-topic related predictions and crypto-deposit/-withdrawal options?

368  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: No demand for decentralized exchanges? on: June 19, 2017, 09:11:35 PM
No. The purpose of decentralization is to do things that cannot be done, or done well, with centralization, due to inherent limitations of a centralized system.

I read replies daily about wanting decentralized exchanges. I just wonder what do people expect from decentralized exchanges? Is it only a nice expression or does it really offer something better than a centralized exchange?
369  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Decentralized products do not worth (yet)? on: June 19, 2017, 08:40:51 PM
People have somehow trust issues and also security issues for any decentralization product or service that's why it do not worth that much even today except the use of bitcoin.

That's true, we people saying that we won't like centralized system or services. Only because of centralized functioning the world has got such a big development and decentralization provides some added help that provides the users good comfort in some form. As OP said it's an illusion, because of its virtual presence.

Yes, let us remember how an exploit can throw back the whole network, which back-throw does not really good for a critical service that was running in the network.

Its not that easy to illustrate a comparison between centralized and decentralized software paradigms in a way that anyone with a basic degree would understand it?  

I understand your example about the technicals, but among businessmen, it more comes to the question: How will we have more money from this idea? It would be good to see some decentralized business models.

decentralized services actually don't have any cost, take open bazar for example, the cost are near zero, you just download the client and buy stuff that other user sell

The first thought I too came to was the cost-efficiency. Hosting your now-server-services from a decentralized network reduces your server costs much. But won't we still pay for the availability?

...
One neglected area of crypto valuation is a "safe haven" of wealth storage for those concerned with nations attempting to spend and tax their way out of debt.
...
A case could be made for bitcoin and crypto being the best method ever invented to achieve this.

Sorry, for shortening your answer down. I just wanted to point out these things.

Yes, on the one hand, crypto could be a "safe haven" because it works with a decentralized, global communication network so no nation's or company's economic collapse will destroy it.

On the other hand, there are volatility and hacking. New crypto are often vulnerable to hacking, therefore the "safe" is questionable and even with old crypto, we have a high volatility, which endangers the safety of the value that you hold.

What is your opinion on these two threats: hacking and volatility, that endangers crypto being a "safe haven"?



Thread was autoclosed due to not getting a reply for long time. PM me if you wish to re-open it!

Bitcoin, to them, is something that has massive returns, at the cost of not being able to accurately determine when anything happens and mostly relying on dumb luck to get a good return on market movements, now anyways.

Crypto trading is often compared to gambling. Yes, luck is a heavy factor in crypto trading, but how other trading forms do not have this high luck factor? And how have we no solution that could help in predictions? Crypto investors may be very successful with their investments. I do not think, it was all luck. Because you can read the news, stay in touch with the developers, participate in community debates... That should help you predict the volatility, shouldn't it?
372  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Decentralized products do not worth (yet)? on: June 11, 2017, 09:51:31 AM
Its probably not fair to ask them that question, unless they're involved with blockchain they likely have no knowledge or experience with decentralized systems.

Projects they have no experience with mean risk to them. So, I understand that they prefer a solution, which is closer to their traditional solution. But sometimes you, who see potential in decentralized systems, have an idea and would like to ask their support. In that case, you should find the common language with them somehow.
373  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: No demand for decentralized exchanges? on: June 10, 2017, 10:07:42 PM
Why would people choose a decentralized exchange when they can choose from many centralized exchanges?

Isn't decentralization's purpose to give you the freedom of choice over a classic, centralized solution?

But if you can choose from many centralized services, what makes a decentralized exchange's demand?
374  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Decentralized products do not worth (yet)? on: June 10, 2017, 10:04:07 PM
As I see, the parties who could pay the most for decentralization are companies, but for them doing something very new and letting the legal guarantee go may be too pricy. And then there is the difficulty of deciding in which type of project the decentralization would worth.

But the question then is, if it's the situation, isn't "decentralization" a bit overhyped?
375  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long will the big crypto rise last? What will happen to us after that? on: June 10, 2017, 09:50:35 PM
All it takes for the whole thing to collapse is a handful of people to think 'hmm, what exactly have I paid all this money for?' and then a few more start to agree with them.

It's all very well saying awareness is growing, it is, but that doesn't mean any of it has delivered anything of genuine value. Most people putting money in don't have the slightest clue what they're doing. They probably can't even pronounce most of the names properly.

Most of the companies shouting 'blockchain, blockchain, yeeeeaah' will never get around to actually doing anything with it.

The prices can be absolutely vapourised and it won't matter in the long run. The ideas and tech will endure. The saps who piled in knowing nothing won't be remembered.

 

Haha. Yes, a friend of mine said he liked trading crypto because it was made easy by the people who buy and sell it without knowledge in trading. But again, crypto is more than a stock, it is a currency and many people who use it do not even want to learn trading with it, just pay for things.

Also, let us remember someone who knows what he is doing can make profit even from shitcoins atm.

The question is in the long run, will the wave of shitcoins ever stop (so that only the technologically advanced coins stay) or not?
376  Economy / Economics / Re: How are we not INVADED yet? on: June 10, 2017, 09:44:39 PM
There are some individual traders who have ventured into crypto trading.
Companies are usually more cautious - the risk/ volatility associated with crypto is very high.

I personally know some ex-stock traders who adventured into crypto and now they are thinking about leaving "traditional" trading for crypto. The reason that caught their attention was the higher profit over the same long period and the excitement of crypto's "wildness". But they are individuals and have stable jobs next to trading. I guess, it is different than building a company on the same thing.
377  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Buying VPSs on: June 08, 2017, 08:03:52 AM
Thank you for your offers!

I received some replies in PMs too. I do not need this anymore. But since I probably will need more than one VPSs, I may check back to some of you guys.

Just one little note: I prefer to buy my original, new access, not already-made accounts lol.
378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Are we too small? on: June 08, 2017, 07:57:53 AM
Compared to stock-trading communities, crypto has smaller community.
Stock-trading communities have fame, size, funds, history and demand.

Why are not there alliances with these communities?

How crypto became a separate community instead of thriving with them?
379  Economy / Economics / How are we not INVADED yet? on: June 08, 2017, 07:52:28 AM
How exchanges/brokers/traders of non-crypto "stocks" have not invaded crypto platforms yet?

Crypto usually generates better profit (and better chances) than most stocks.

How people who live from stock-trading (e.g.: companies) have not invaded crypto yet?

(If we look at communities' sizes, their size is much-much larger)
380  Economy / Marketplace / Decentralized products do not worth (yet)? on: June 08, 2017, 07:47:55 AM
I do not say decentralization is bad, I am just questioning whether we wish to have decentralized services enough powerfully for people to develop them.

I have discussed with some developer companies that COULD develop us decentralized services, but they said no paying customer ever wanted them anything to decentralize and decentralizing complex systems have certain costs.

Isn't this "we don't trust centralized things" an illusion, after all?
