3701  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are ICO going to replace mining? on: April 07, 2017, 10:23:58 AM
So many ICO popping up , will they eventually take over for mining? Or the miners will continue to develop new coins to launch?

What are the advantages of ICO vs Mined?
I prefer to put in the work of mining, that was the whole allure and mystique of bitcoin

no and no, because mining back up the coins with the profit and reward that miners need to have, remember that mining set a value to the coin, because miners need to be payed, and their payment is the minimum profit they are making on other coins, which mean that automatically your pow coins have already a mnimum value threshold, ico are shitcoin that have no future and only pump and dump, just tell me what ico have lasted so long to be called a good coin? i see no pure ico in the top 10 of coinmarketcap, don't tell me lisk because lisk has a form of mining called forging which is at least something

is the pool working right? i'm mining there from two hours, and nothing on my wallet, i see only that shares are accepted, i have also big hashrate, 50% of the network, so that can't be the reason
3703  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Launched: PiCoin [POS+POW] [SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN=AIRDROP] on: April 07, 2017, 10:19:49 AM
dev when is the exchange going to take place? you said that this week was the week to launch picoin on exchange, but until now nothing changed? an exchange can do good for your coin, with trading your coins get more attention and grow stronger, it's time to ask at least for exchange that accept it for free like coinexchange, this can be a solution momentarily?
3704  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Launched: PiCoin [POS+POW] [SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN=AIRDROP] on: April 06, 2017, 05:06:46 PM
I wish we would get on an exchange so we can at least establish some sort of pricing mechanism.

Maybe ask if anyone is selling if you want to buy or post if you want to sell. The price is what people are willing to pay.

I will buy at 300 sats.

i have also the right to sell at whatever price and i think the right one is 10k satoshi, based on supply and the emission rate, 300 satoshi is very low dude, and not profitable for miners, if you check the dev post, you see that only 2500 coins are produced each day, in fact miners have only 40k coins for now, probably air dropper have more coins than miners now
3705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Upper and lower limits on: April 06, 2017, 05:04:56 PM
Are you saying gamblers usually set only lower limits and not upper limits?
I think we should have limits for the wins and losses. However it's most probable to have losses on long run as we can't make more profit than dice sites. Maybe in some weeks you will have profit, but on the next weeks the dice site will get their profit and you will lose money.

this what i get form his post too, but i have an upper limit, and it's when i win a lot for example, i know in this case that i need to stop or my chance of losing everything are very high, because you can't always win, some dude can not always but occasionally, have more win than the house, if they are very lucky
3706  Economy / Speculation / Re: This massive price increase in seconds shows us something on: April 06, 2017, 04:56:54 PM
i don't think that pump and dump is always manipulation, buyers and sellers don't know each other and they can buy for whatever they believe and the sellers also sell for their own reason, can happen that the value go high and low because of randomness caused by their decisions
Buyers and sellers does not need to know each other,but manipulation occurs when there is a massive sell order and people who is holding the coins would panic seeing those high sell orders and thinking that the price would crash, people starts selling everything they hold and that is how manipulation works most of the time and a small news would aid in the price movement.

but how is the guy who is dumping with a big sell order, going to knwo that his dump will cause a panic seller, and so inducing a market manipulation? this is just an assumption imho, the big guy that sell a huge amount of coins, need to force the other to sell to buy cheap coins, and it's not that easy as many believe, most of the time the rise and fall you see are just normal trading on the market
3707  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New cryptocurrency launched in India on: April 06, 2017, 04:52:16 PM
i'm assuming that the value of this coin is given by the government, like their legal currency? how a currency like that is going to help the poorer?

Wrong timing! India is still debating whether Bitcoin is legal or not.
The founders should have adopted a wait and watch approach.

if they plan to do their own currency it's likely that bitcoin will be made illegal to avoid competition, now i understand why some countries want to ban bitcoin, just to make their own altcoin, which make sense imho, too bad this approach is very centralized, and is different than what we have here in crypto.
3708  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DASH crypto-son "SibCoin" is conquering Asia on: April 06, 2017, 04:47:17 PM
SibCoin is a DASH fork, employing additional encryption algorithms devised by Russian cryptographers. The coin’s adoption has been growing rapidly ever since the first block was mined in May 2015.
SibCoin’s masternode network volume continues to outgrow that of its parent coin (DASH).

In January 2017, SibCoin’s masternode network volume exceeded that of its parent coin (DASH), and the gap continues to widen.
SibCoin is striving to become the driving force behind the consolidation of Russian [Suspicious link removed]munity. A Chinese language implementation on its website opens the gate for China’s crypto-enthusiasts and professional traders alike.

Do you agree SibCoin could outperform DASH?


sibcoin it's a good profitable coin, among the most profitable, but the marketcap is very small and can not compete at all with dashcoin, what is good about sibcoin, it's that this coin is a gpucoin, and not centralized by asic like dash, maybe in thefuture it can grow bigger, but right now investors have other target

Where can I read more info about it? They really don't have website in English?

3709  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [Litecoin] only 6% more till activation of SegWit. on: April 06, 2017, 04:42:26 PM
activation used to be 69%+ but now it's down to 67%! What's happening?  Huh

you are worried about 2%? get over it man, that is nothing, 67% is still impressive, and near activation, litecoin miners have no reason to not activate, because they have already 4 x the capacity of bitcoin, with the block limit
3710  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many ways are there to earn bitcoins? on: April 06, 2017, 04:40:05 PM
there are many but the most profitable are, signature, mining and trading, signature now do a lot, can earn 0.03 per week, trading is risky and dangerous and i have not enough experience with it, and mining it's the best one and the most profitable, you can earn 0.1 per week with a rig, which is very good
3711  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Sleeping giant is awakening?? LTC back to $50 now ?? on: April 06, 2017, 10:33:34 AM
The SegWit signaling has fallen back to 68 - 69%. One could postulate that all spare capacity for mining LTC was already brought onboard with the recent price increase. And that Bitmain will gradually eat away at that by producing more L3s which they keep for themselves to mine on LTC and block SegWit. The competitors may not have much resources as Bitmain, or just the fact that the L3 is twice as efficient as the A4 competition. I am not sure if that is the only scenario though. Maybe BTCC hasn't yet unleashed their GPU farm on LTC because perhaps they want to wait for a higher price. Maybe they want to stimulate one more price pump before making their move. There have been hacking attacks that have moved hashrate to different pools. So I don't know if a similar attack has been employed on LTC pools. I noticed some significant change in the LTC pool distribution compared to yesterday.

https://web.archive.org/web/20170406082911/https://www.litecoinpool.org/pools

https://web.archive.org/web/20170405041023/https://www.litecoinpool.org/pools

I had the thought that even if SegWit doesn't get activated, Litecoin has 4X more capacity in its blocks than Bitcoin, so it will have lower transaction fees. Yet I don't know if that would be compelling enough without real scaling.

Edit: Okay I was mistaken in thinking the activation period was only 24 hours. It is 2 weeks:

https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/63nb70/how_long_does_it_need_to_be_over_75_before/

Edit#2: Ah I see it must be a specific retarget period!

Lock-in: If 75% of blocks within any retarget period signal support for segwit, it locks-in. SegWit transactions are now opt-in.

Activate: After another 8064-block (roughly two week) retarget period, segwit will activate, allowing miners to produce blocks containing segwit transactions on Litecoin’s mainnet.

Thus perhaps we can expect that BTCC won't throw its GPUs at LTC mining until the next block retargeting! Important find.

The next block retargeting begins in ~30 hours, and the following confirms the two week activation period:

Next block retarget (4 per activation period)

Since a retarget period is roughly 3.5 days, that means the prior 3.5 day retargeting period did not start with ~69% signaling.

So I conclude that we might see fireworks ~30 hours from now.

yeah i don't see what is the sense of segwit with litecoin, if they don't need more than the current 4x capacity they have over bitcoin, and you made a mistake about mining and gpu, because litecoin is plagued by scrypt asic, there is no gpu anymore on litecoin, or did they changed the algo maybe? i think they can try to change the algo and make litecoin great and decentralized again, litecoin can take more risky routes than bitcoin, and have a better success than now, litecoin in the past was more popular and asic killed it, i hope they at least think about this possibility
3712  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LTC Segwit is over 70% on: April 06, 2017, 10:29:23 AM
http://litecoinblockhalf.com/segwit.php

Litecoin is steadily climbing up and rising to .01 at the moment. LTC segwit activation can be anytime from now.

Exciting time for LTC!

i think this is good and not for litecoin only, but for bitcoin, too, if bitcoin miners see that litecoin is following segwit, they also will follow their decision or at least i think that there is this possibility to convince more bitcoin and segwith softfork if another alt is doing the same thing and now that dash is dumped, i see the price increase too to 0.02, 0.01 is already there, this make 0.02+ possible

I'm new to these altcoins but I have collected around 1 million Dogecoin. But don't know where to store it. As of now, I kept all these coins in gambling site.

Is there any trusted online wallet to keep doge and dash coins?

Thanks

don't keep there in a gamble site, it's a bad idea, they can be hacked, same for a webwallet, you can trust those, better to download the dogecoin wallet and store them on your computer

CHANGES TO THE WITHDRAWAL SYSTEM:

  • Use any withdraw address
  • Withdraw fractional quantities
  • 2FA has been enabled

Happy playing

J.Gatz

can you reduce the withdrawal fee? i think it's too high, i see other have 20k satoshi or lower, and can you add 2fa with authy or cellular msn, because i don't have a smarthphone and i can't activate the classic 2fa with bar code, thanks

why bad nes? you really think that a change of $40 is something to look about, are you kidding? bitcoin market behave like this all the time dude, just check the chart, it's always either pump and dump or price correction, there is not fulll stability, but it's good because traders and new investors like instability one can make profit out of it
3717  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the big things on social media that can be relate with bitcoin? on: April 05, 2017, 03:39:44 PM
Two problems with social media being the method we choose to promote bitcoins. First is, people don't really care. People go on facebook, instagram, twitter, or whatever social media they go to not to learn something new or anything that relates to knowledge of anything. Second, they go there for purposes of "socializing," which actually is not anymore the case. People go there to see what other people are doing and what's happening with their lives.

it's true but people use facebook for a worse thing than what you said, people use facebook, as a racing tool, on who have the better life, and who get the most like on their photo, it's a shitty website for faggot that think they can be notorious one day, it's another way to grab easy money for many people, and youtube is the same
3718  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Trading Bots while you sleep on: April 05, 2017, 03:35:46 PM
if i can trust the trading bot, then yes. and trusting is not only about trusting that the bot doesn't steal my coins but also it is about trusting that the code is good enough that won't go crazy and make weird trades that leads to user's loss. and there have already been many of these cases that people lost money because of a bot.

which is i prefer the old fashioned way of trading and if i can i code my own thing.

ps. IMO this belongs to trading discussion board.

if the bot is likely made by yourself it's better, if you can't trust another bot, better to ask for the source, the bot itself doesn't do much it's the strategy that the creator of the bot, adopt that matter, if the strategy it's bad you will lose money if not you can do well for some time, but after that you need to change again the strategy, the competition is fierce in trading, traders always come with a better +ev strategy

i love how people just randomly think that the next big thing is a shitty altcoin like ripple or whatever just because there was a recent mini pump, lol, ripple have infinite supply can be increased at will by the dev, it has no real value, is centralized like any legal money, why people can't understand this?
3720  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: DASH withdraw problem @ Suprnova on: April 05, 2017, 03:28:24 PM
you have the tx id you can use that to recover your coin, ask for support with the tx id they will help, if you are using an online wallet that is not built with a service but just a local webwallet, it's better if you ask to the dev, next time use a real wallet or an exchannge
