I offloaded my XRP today. Will buy back in when it drops again. I like to think of XRP as the "somewhat" stable currency of the crypto world.

Merry Cryptmas Cointed. I took part in your ICO and look forward to the future plans (unfortunately I don't have 20 ETH to get the card though!).

Thank you kind Sir! Merry Xmas!

Good luck with your project. I appreciate that you are trying to assist everyone in the recent ParityTech debacle. Great idea.

Proof of Stake velocity (aside from the below you can also read this page) - the below is from the paper accessed from reddit reddcoin page.

Proof-of-Stake-Velocity (PoSV) is a new algorithm designed by Reddcoin core team to replace
Proof-of-Work (PoW) as the mechanism to verify transactions and create blocks. It encourages
both ownership (Stake) and activity (Velocity). To increase your chance of finding a valid block
and receive block rewards, instead of buying GPU or ASIC for more hash power, you just need to
have a bigger holding of Reddcoins and keep your wallet running and connected to Internet to
participate.
PoSV minting, the counterpart to PoW mining, requires little computing power or energy and can
be done on CPUs of PCs, laptops and even mobile devices. Every Reddcoin user will automatically
become a PoSV minter.

I bought a whole bunch yesterday and the day before for HODLing. Quite fortunate that the coin now gets this attention. I could sneak off with quick gains but I have faith in the coin for 2018. Plus I like the POSV model.

They're not the worst but they are terrible. Their systems always shutdown during critical periods for investors. Their customer service is terrible and they are absolutely conducting insider trading from the BCASH situation.

I too would be interested to know what stats you've been getting from the improved hash rates.

If it goes to $1. I'm buying a lambo. Unlikely. It'd have to see promotion like Verge received recently to reach that level.

Try not to let it get to you. We've all missed big trades and held when we should've sold. It's all part of the game.

This is all good news. Can't wait for 2018!

Good to hear it eventually got resolved!

As mentioned before, if you get free power and the gear is just laying around. Of course you should be mining!

Getting into mining is a great education journey as well. Use the experience to learn about the different algorithms and the challenges and benefits of mining different coins.

Just make sure to stick to downloading mining software from github!

Enjoy the education. It's all a journey.

Especially when there's zero reasoning other than hope!

I look to the US passing this and cringe that the rest of the world is going to try and follow them. Fcuk the media companies and their bullshit.

Hardware is better for security. But paper is free!

By fluke I bought a bunch at 52. I still can't believe my eyes when every morning the pump just keeps going!

Coinbase isn't a wallet. It's an app to interact with the exchange.

I have used quite a few mentioned here (Mycelium, Breadwallet, Blockchain). I personally recommend Copay. They have a very simple to use interface and are great for new users.

Mycelium is also good for more advanced users as it has more functionality. Breadwallet is ok too. I found Blockchain annoying as I had to have network connectivity to see my balance etc. This was frustrating if I was on a plane (or somewhere without network connectivity) and wanted to double check the size of a recent transaction or my current balance.

My suggestion would be to get verified with the exchanges first then transfer funds/coins in. That way they can't use the "you're not verified" excuse to lock up your funds.

Though I've now since moved to ATMs to my paper wallet personally. Then I can always shapeshift to other coins if needed.
