I understand that you want to sprout more often however by having your beans on a staking pool is a lot of risk as you never know what could happen with staking pools as your not in control of your beans. Its always best to sprout your own beans as not only does it lower the risk as you are in control but it also helps support the network much better then everyone joining a pool.

Not long now before the French Open starts and like I have been saying on here, I'm going to be looking for some value as Nadal is too short at $1.40 to win. I decided to put two small bets on Alexander Zverev @ $9.00 and Dominic Thiem @ $11, I think these two offer great value as they have performed well in the lead up tournaments and they seem to be the main challenge to beating Nadal. Djokovic is also good at $13 but just not sure if his fitness is 100% to challenge Nadal. I bet with Bet365.

Sorry to hear about your loss however this comes with gambling, I don't believe you were scammed at all and you just were very unlucky which can sometimes happen in all gambling games. This is why its key to set yourself a limit and stick to it and don't bet more then you can afford to lose.

Yes that was my way of thinking as most people that have been mining or staking for a long time will most likely dump their May after this block is done because as we have seen with a few staking coins, not many people like low APR. Implementing masternodes will hopefully help as long as the reward is decent. Then the dev could set up a dev fund as well with the masternode rewards so say 75% to MN 15% to PoS and 10% dev fund. The dev fund can be used for future developments/exchange listings.

I had the same problem with the wallet getting stuck on block 296233 and so I deleted everything except the wallet.dat and added the new nodes Kees posted in this forum and let it sync from scratch. Now its working perfectly and stakes like a beast! In the coming days I'll be setting up a MN.

@Kees

Is it okay if a friend of mine and myself set up a discord channel for AMS? Just like to get the okay from you first before creating one.

You're welcome! We did see some volume and price rise once the wallet was out of maintenance so lets hope it can continue. I'm looking to add another few thousand more MOIN to my stack in the coming days if all goes to plan with another coin I have and am thinking about selling for MOIN.

True and that is something that Zverev will need to do if he wants to become a great player, adapt to all things that could come his way and in this case it was the rain delay. In time with experience he will adapt to these things that happen, as he looks like that type of player with a good mentality.   

Yes we have been lucky that some people have decided to takeover the project as the ideas that were put forward do have huge potential in the near future as no other coin I know is doing anything like what Rain is doing with nature, in this case with rain. If the dev team can pull it off then we can expect the price to continue to rise and may even break its ATH in the near future. Its going to be a slow and steady process but I believe we now have the team to do it.

That's great! Like you said this will help as it now shows more volume. I'm really looking forward to seeing trading on Nova again as this will also help boost 808 volume, I'm sure its not too long now before we can start depositing and withdrawing from there.

Good news everyone! MOIN is now out of maintenance on Cryptopia so we can start depositing and withdrawing again. I have now closed my support ticket as there is no need for it anymore and others that have support tickets open should also close them to help the team out with less work. Now I can finally make that withdrawal I've been waiting to do for over a month.

Yeah Nova would be a great exchange to get BottleCaps listed on as it is very similar to Cryptopia with similar coins listed. At one stage Nova was even close to Cryptopia in the way of volume as it was gaining popularity as Cryptopia was losing popularity due to issues they were facing. So hopefully once Nova is back trading again we can try and get CAPS listed.

Any updates on how the website is coming along? Any screenshots of the work that has been done so far?

Its good to see MyNodeRocks offer VGS masternodes as this will help the smaller guys who can't afford to own a MN and they seem to be a trusted site from what I have seen with many reviews from other coins.

Thanks for your opinion, the only problem is that Nadal's odds don't offer much value so that is why I was looking elsewhere for some value and I think Alexander Zverev offers a lot of value as he has shown that he can match it with Nadal on clay. I'll be looking forward to seeing your tips for the French Open.

No there hasn't as the wallet runs smoothly so no need to update something that doesn't need fixing.

I have an idea that I think would be good for May and that is for masternodes to be implemented after block 216901 instead of the 1% APR. There is no need for masternodes right now as May is like running a MN with the rewards we are currently earning from staking. I hope the dev takes on board the idea.

No one knows what happened to him, many of us including myself have tried to reach out to him but no one got any replies so that is when the community did a takeover of the project and now we have a team working on developments. This is going to take some time so we must all be very patient.

I agree with you that I think Zverev would have won if it wasn't for this rain delay as he had all the momentum and Nadal looked down for the count. It does show though that Zverev can match it with the best on clay and that is why I give him a high chance at upstaging Nadal in the French Open. I'm going to put a small amount of money on Zverev to win the Open even though Nadal will most likely win but his odds don't offer much value.

I don't understand why Solaris is not as popular as some other coins are in the top 100 as Solaris has so much more going for it then some of those projects in the top 100 but hopefully in time more people will come to know about Solaris and that's when we could see the price start going up and more masternodes come online. A lot of projects that skyrocket also have some big crypto guys promoting it which I don't see any promoting Solaris just yet but in time I think this will change. Solaris is similar to DNR when it comes to the coin not being popular even though they both have a lot going for them.

I do agree with you as I don't mind waiting even though there is no word from the dev however there are people that like to see the dev active in the community. I'm loving the 230% staking rewards as they have been growing daily and I may even pick up some more XPTX if the price goes down even further.

Thanks kees for the wallet update, now hopefully everything runs smoothly with this new release and AMS gets back on track. I'll be downloading the new wallet once I get home and then hopefully setting up my masternode which I have been waiting to do for a while now.

@kees

Will there be an updated roadmap coming soon for future plans for AMS?

Pakistan have drawn in their final lead up game which was the most likely result as it was just a 2 day game. Azhar made 73 and Zaman batted well for his 71 runs however this was against Leicestershire. Pakistan will need to perform a lot better then they did against Ireland when they face England or else we could see a clean sweep of the series for England. I just hope Pakistan can make the series interesting with some good performances.
