41  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it time to sell BTC for BCH ? on: November 12, 2017, 08:40:20 PM
They are different enough, that neither is a direct replacement for the other.  A well balanced portfolio would have both
42  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How safe is exchange? on: November 12, 2017, 12:14:07 AM
Exchanges are like bathrooms.  Get in, do your business, and then get out.  They are as secure as you make them.  If you don't own the private key, you don't own your coins...
43  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Bitcoin Cash kill Bitcoin? on: November 11, 2017, 11:31:54 PM
Unfortunately it is such a giant uphill battle for them, I sincerely doubt they'll make much headway
44  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who is buying WAVES? on: November 10, 2017, 02:37:17 PM
Waves is actually a very good project with good technology.  Its only problem is that it's competing against much bigger projects with larger network effects at this time
45  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it risky to turn all my money to bitcoins? on: November 10, 2017, 02:27:31 PM
Turning all of your money into ANY one asset class would be risky by definition, so....I would not recommend that
46  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Segwit2x CANCELLED and Parity issue! on: November 09, 2017, 03:26:49 PM
It's been great news that they've suspended the fork.  It was a very prudent decision, given the fact that they could not reach consensus and the community was not supporting it.  Overall, this is a very good sign for the community at large
47  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Too late to get involved into Bitcoin? on: November 09, 2017, 12:38:15 AM
It's never too late!  We are still astonishingly early in this whole process.  Give it another 10-20 years before you start asking if it's too late!
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner on: November 06, 2017, 07:39:13 PM
Has anybody else been getting the BSOD error once you launch the miner?  Been having serious problems getting my rig to be stable.  It BSOD's after about 3 seconds

This is just yet another reason why security is so important.  Security. Security. Security.

You alone are responsible for your private keys, and security.  Make sure you cross all your i's and dot your t's
50  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 1070 Ti benchmarked in Eth & Zec on: November 04, 2017, 01:03:03 PM
Slightly disappointing unfortunately.  I think people should be sticking to the 1080ti for ETH and ZEC.  The 1070ti just isn't cutting it, apparently
51  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin money? on: November 04, 2017, 01:16:28 AM
Because of its deflationary nature I think Bitcoin is actually more "money" than any currency on the planet right now.  Gold is the only worthy comparison, but because of the difficulties inherent in using/transporting/ exchanging gold it doesn't even come close
52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to buy altcoins with FIAT money? on: November 03, 2017, 07:58:55 PM
Coinbase and Gemini are the best for US based fiat onramps

(ETH and LTC are on Coinbase)
53  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Safest way to keep bitcoins? on: November 03, 2017, 12:00:52 AM
The Ledger Nano S is the gold standard....excellent security solution
54  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / How many more Bitcoin forks do we need? on: November 02, 2017, 02:10:51 AM
And when do we know that we've had enough?  Seems like every 6 weeks we go through the same community drama.  The legacy chain is the one that is most widely used, so why are people constantly forking to create their own?  Why not just create their own blockchain from scratch with the technology that they're interested in?
55  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Trying a Vega 56 - questions, issues on: November 02, 2017, 01:37:48 AM
I'd really like to hear about the hashrates you can do on Zcash with this baby.  I'm still looking at 1080ti's for good ROI, but I'd like to hear numbers for the Vega
56  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: NEO coming to Ledger Nano S on: October 31, 2017, 06:50:45 PM
This is awesome!  Where will the Gas go for Gas generated by the Ledger address holding Neo?
57  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: how to implement the protocol zk-SNARKs in bitcoin on: October 31, 2017, 04:48:27 PM
It's been mentioned above, but yes Zcash is basically a Bitcoin fork with zk-SNARKs added on top.  So, if you're looking to compete directly with Zcash on their exact use case, good luck!

Their researchers and team are excellent, so you would be better off contributing to that project.  They're in need of a good lite-wallet a la Breadwallet for Bitcoin if you want to drive development of something like that.
58  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin futures to be traded on CME! on: October 31, 2017, 04:12:26 PM
I don't people are quite grasping how absolutely huge this is.  This is a gigantic step forward. 
59  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Any word on amd vega hash rates? on: October 31, 2017, 03:15:13 PM
But these Vega cards are sooooo expensive!  I will be sticking with the 1080ti's for the foreseeable future.  How long will it take to see ROI with the Vega's?
60  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which altcoin should I buy and hold for the next 1 years? on: October 31, 2017, 03:06:08 PM
Keep your BTC!  Honestly I think BTC will out-perform a lot of alts moving forward within the next 6-12 months.
