A good friend runs bspin.io, there's a topic from June where they are asking for everyone's opinion and ideas for the site.
They are always looking for honest thoughts/ideas/reviews.

This is the topic
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4525112.msg40754853#msg40754853

I know the registration takes only like 30 seconds and that the deposit are instant.
Withdrawal needs some kind of verification first, but I'm assuming it's like that with other sites, no?

Anyway, worth checking out.

P.S. Yes, they were told recently that the upper, orange color should probably be changed xD

.......and also big corporations (even banks) creating big centralized altcoins (like ETH and XRP) to make more money from gullible people.

44  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Blockchain beat VISA someday? on: January 11, 2019, 08:10:52 AM
For now, I haven't seen any projects which has changed a industry in real life but I believe that it will happen in the future and Visa can combine/ use blockchain to improve their services.  

Ripple is changing it, slowely but surely (well, such changes take time).
Visa also bought out Earthport, which is Ripple's partner (which does NOT mean VISA is now a partner, but the buying can mean a lot of things, time will tell)

I do agree, however, that there are very, very few real life industry changing cryptos, depending on how you look at it.
45  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: XRP competing places with ETH? on: January 10, 2019, 09:19:07 PM
My advice, when it comes to XRP, don't look at it like you might do with some other coin.

XRP has a real world use and it would be suboptimal not to read up on it and get what Ripple is trying to do BEFORE investing.

(I myself spent almost 3 weeks researching before buying some, so do your own research.)

Why am I advising this?

Because only by understanding what they are doing and trying to do are you going to realize the potential value in it.
Or not, however, I don't wanna shill, no point really lol.

IMHO, ideal situation would be if every coin had a (potential) real use case (a lot more than most coins have atm), so that we may invest based on real solutions which in turn would up its value.

My 2 cents, take it as you will, ofc  Cheesy
46  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you remember your first sports bet? on: January 10, 2019, 09:07:12 PM
Yep, 1998. 5 pairs, one was Galatasaray.
It was only few euros stake, in local currency, for around 35€  Grin

I remember watching teletext on TV and saw that I didn't get any right.

2h later, for unknown reason, I checked again whereupon I realised I got all correct.
Turns out the 1st time I read half time score and I actually won xD
47  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Nauticus Is The Future on: January 10, 2019, 04:21:58 PM

NTS / BTC will be traded from January 12th. Now the exchange has distributed all NTS tokens to investors and in two days we will be able to trade this token on BTC




I see, thank you.

Any information regarding possible adding of other NTS pairs somewhere, perhaps?
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Nauticus Is The Future on: January 10, 2019, 04:14:45 PM
However, because this coin is new and tied to the exchange, I think it has a chance to emulate what BNB did last year.

Hi, I see there are no pairs except NTS/BTC.

Is quoted something you have a hunch about, simply that it seems logical or based on some information not mentioned?

Put it this way. We could discuss the philosophical matter of improperly stereotyping. While running...

Depends on the speed, hard to talk while running! xD

Spendulus was saying that sometimes it is beneficial to have heuristics, especially during times of "fight-or-flight".

BADecker joked about it, which I think is hilarious XD

Ok, though I'm still not sure how having or not having heuristics is applied to what I said xD

Don't worry about it, what you said was absolutely correct  Smiley

Well, I guess that works for me, lolz xD

Profiling people into one basket such as "atheist", "christian", "muslim", etc. is wrong on so many levels.....

Honestly, labeling like that says more about the labeler -.-

If you and I are ever walking down a dark downtown street and there's a couple guys up ahead, and I whisper, "Those guys look like bad news. Let's go this other way. Fast!"

My suggestion if you want to stay alive is not to start talking about baskets....


I'd hope you would be saying that cause they are criminals or something of the sort. Their religion is irrelevant.

Christian criminal and muslim criminal is the same, cause only the "criminal" part matters.

Now if you weren't talking about that, I have no idea what you wanted to say xD
53  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Future of Ripple on: January 09, 2019, 01:53:28 PM

Ripple looks quite promising coin. And I am sure that he will have a good price. But I am very concerned that the bank that created Ripple has a share of more than 50% of the total number of coins.

Ripple is not a bank or a coin xD


As for your concern regarding "has a share of more than 50%", please read:
https://ripple.com/dev-blog/explanation-ripples-xrp-escrow/

It'll probably open more questions, but that's good, right? xD
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Future of Ripple on: January 09, 2019, 01:08:25 PM

Errr, not sure how you got to me investing in fiat xD
Sending money across boarders takes 3-5 days, as we all know.
That is the (main) problem they are trying to solve.

As for XRP:

"Each XRP transaction destroys a tiny fraction of XRP. But considering the transaction volume and adoption rate, it is estimated it could take thousands of years for you to see any noticeable decrease in supply."

This was talked and confirmed (if we can use that precise word) long ago.

EDIT: If you wan't to talk charts, use the price from 2014. for example, not last year only Smiley
So far about 8 million destroyed so lets 1 million a year, 0.001%. So 2018 inflation was not  2.05% but 2.049%
Guess what literally thousand of coins can sent instantly across the internet, most not even scammy.

Not following you, I'm afraid.

You're, again, using 2018 data only.

There are people who bought XRP at something like 0,0006 (can't remember if it was 0,0006 or 0,006, but the point stands), therefore, if we ignore all the ups and downs, it went from
"Something like 0,0006$" to "current 0,37$".

You can't just pick certain, smaller timeframe to prove your point.
I can say "in these X months, XRP went from 0,3 to almost 3$", it had xxxxxx% growth and that is equally wrong as you using 2018 data only
55  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Future of Ripple on: January 09, 2019, 12:50:36 PM

Blockchains are nuke proof, databases regularly lose data, so did David and got awarded 1 billion xrp for it.
Convenient way of hiding sensitive data, just have an "accident" and is lost for ever.


1. Without proof, I can't say I believe you or I don't. It's possible, sure, but before proof, I'd side with David solely on what I've read and heard from him in the last 2 years that I've been into it.
That doesn't mean I'm not open to changing my mind if proof comes to play, ofc.


2. If we say, for a moment, that that is true.....it still doesn't really matter to me. Now, let me explain.

They made coins, the plan is that XRP helps with the today's ultra slow sending of FIAT currency (among other (un)intentional plans and uses).

Let's say those plans come to fruition.
How does "Person X has Y amount of XRP since start" change any of that?
It doesn't change the fact that the problem is being solved, that the price/value is going up and that's it seems a good investment.

Again, if there was proof of that, I'd reevaluate my feeling about David.
Not sure how it would change my thoughts about the investment itself, though.
So you "invested" in fiat as well it has the same 2.xx% inflation loss per year. (2018 euro 1.73% vs xrp 2.05%)
Real cryptos deflation will eat shitty inflation in years ahead.

As soon as you do that fraud accusation are of the table.
Low live scam promoter.

I don't promote Jed, he's a scumbag. He's an EX employee. Every firm has bad employees.

As for blocks, I'm well aware of the missing blocks from the start, JK even posted here about it
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=174854.msg2352658#msg2352658

Since caring or not about those pre 32,570 blocks is sorta subjective, I wont delve into it.
I'll just say I don't see it as an important thing (I'm open to hear why it's important).

Call me whatever you want, "words are wind", and name calling isn't solving anything lol.
58  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Future of Ripple on: January 09, 2019, 11:32:28 AM


No its not as it is a well orchestrated scam and not a cryptocurrency.

https://fudbingo.com/xrp-is-not-a-real-cryptocurrency


39,241,525,848 tokens in circulation
Not so as it includes Jebbs 5 billion, but he is only allowed to sell $10000 worth of xrp per month, by court ruling.

The second part is an argument against the first part of what you said, so no need to add anything.


future of Ripple?
A 3rd class software company once sales of worthless xrp tries up. Timeframe 5 to 10 years [/quote]

Personal opinion based on pretty much nothing Smiley


That all said, I do NOT want this to become a "My team is better than yours" or something similar xD

We all have our own investments which should be based on their (whoever they are) work and not "a feeling based on no research".

Remember, "belief" is often really just "hoping". And there's no room for hope (except in very small, realistic doses) in investing.

Thank you Kiir  Smiley

These are just terms, even for pet preferences there are labels such as he's a "cat person" or she's a "dog person" etc.

We use terms for specific meanings, please don't feel bad about it. It is just to make us understand each other easier.

Yeah, I get it. It can help, case by case basis. I guess some humans tend to ruin everything, even "neutral labeling" xD
60  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Athiest are the ultimate free thinker? on: January 09, 2019, 10:45:14 AM

When we speak of an "atheist", we are not making generalizations. We are saying that he/she does not believe in an intelligent creator of this universe. That is the entirety of the definition. No more generalization can be made. Atheists can range from kind, loving people to deranged serial killers. So are theists, they can also range from kind, loving people to serial killers as well.

Well, perhaps you, sir, are talking like that and that's a healthy view imho.

On the other hand, if I had to bet, I'd say the majority doesn't seperate those things so well as you do.

Why names for such things, btw? Smiley

I don't believe in God, but I'm open to possibilites, hell even "God", too.
I'd need some proof, ofc, but that's not the point.

Why label me "atheist" or "agnostic" or whatever the term is for "my case"? xD

If I say "I don't like dogs" (I do, cats too, most animals, really xD) I wouldn't be called "Doesn't like dogs person" xD
