Hello,

I'm seeking a web and graphics designer that can create logos, website design (based on specs) as well as presentation graphics. There are multiple projects in the works, so it's not a one-off type of deal.

For responsive website designs, we ask that the person do it in bootstrap, and can adapt it to use angular and/or react components. Last two not required but meriting.

Any case, if any experienced web designer sees this one, please contact me for further discussions.

Thank you!

Deisik,  very perceptive!  I see the ICO's that are out there as short term beneficial to Etherums rise, but long term; when ICO's scams start to cause an exodus, it will cause flash-crashes. I see many ICO's that basically are vapor-ware and clearly done by guys with no relevant experience, no team and can't even get a copywriter.    Can you (or someone else), explain how Etherum coins are locked? Do you mean in contracts for founders and in other long-term contracts?

That said; I honestly see Etherum as being better on so many levels; faster, no tx queue, smart contracts (with problems and all), large industry players adopting it.  I think Etherum can overtake Bitcoin, and soon, but there is a grave concern for me with all these ICO scams going on.

Thanks for the reply, Barbut.

Question is: what is a 'good alt' coin? I see you are from a sportsbook. I myself have developed gambling software and been operational, so I did look at the ICO's for the gambling concepts. I saw something like Wagerr, which basically have nothing, their business plan doesn't make sense for someone that comes from the gambling industry.  They raised over 10 million on vapor-ware.
Then i looked at funtime. Those guys come from pkr.com and sounds like they gave a nice concept, but again, no demo.  They also wanted to have between 50 million to 125 million in initial market cap, and get about 1/3 to founders which does sound like way to much for something that have yet to produce revenues and in fact a demoable product.  Not to bash those guys; they seem smart and savvy, I just don't like the eval they put on the ico.  I then looked at Golem and Dwave along with IOTA and found them to have very lofty goals, or moonshots. If they pull it off- amazing, but it seems like a long shot; like betting on a 100-1 horse.
But what I have found is so many ICO's are now coming out with an initial market cap that is so high that a multiple on the investment then comes harder. Along with risks of ICO's, I'm honestly having difficulties of finding value in ICO's. I'm a bit conservative (for a cryptocurrency investor/trader).

I did notice some relavance for RSI on the chinese exchanges when trading leveraged futures. But it's more a self-fulfilling prophecy; many trade on rsi, so when it turns, they will sell; hence it becomes self-fulfilling in that sense.

Personally, I trade on a few signals;
1. News cycles. Positive news, like scaling and other stuff. Trumps win. Negative news, for going short is the PBOC hitting the chinese exchanges, which rendered a succesful short.
2. Long term upswings, and looking for signs of resistance (3000 for bitcoin, 400 for etherum) and then estimating that it will lead to a sell-off/profit harnessing. When it comes close to hitting certain key numbers, you often get that happening. If you trade with a bit of a leverage, say 10x and 10% move and you double your money. Risky, yeah, but it does work. Just don't leave trades open and leave the computer for a long time. And be prepared to take a loss if you dabble with high leverages.
3. If you see StochRSI hitting max for a long time, it will just be more and more time for a correction. I look at 4-6 hour charts normally, sometimes 12h-1d.   If you see a 100 EMA (moving average) being much below the current price, it is also a symptom of an overheated market, and a correction can come due. Don't just look on the chart, look on how the depth charts stack up, see the buy/sell volumes to detect a building sell-momentum and then go short.  Once you hit what you think is a bottom, sell your short, and go long. For etherum last week, I had it pegged at hitting 250 before turning. It hit 252, i think it was. Why did  i hose 250? For one, I thought it was going to be a large move, from some artciles on CBS and Cuban being quoted; but also due to the very large upswing all currencies had enjoyed. I thus saw a large profit harnessing come.
The 250 i pegged at the 100 SMA on the 6 hour chart. I use 50 period SMA or EMA for 12-24 hour charts to estimate a bottom.  Scientific? Hardly. Just watch the trades, look at the money flow, and estimate when turns come; either for shorting or going long. 

I mean, guys that have gone long in this environment have done very very well. But you don't want to be the last guy in on a long just before a correction. So when you use leveraged trades; be careful.

Good luck trading!

Hello,

I've been quite an active trader on the market, mainly futures for bitcoin but also some etherum. I've done well, and now hold a sizable position of bitcoins.  I'm honestly not seeing a scaling solution coming for bitcoin, and think other cryptos will develop a lot better, price wise and were thus considering further diversification.

What do you guys think? Will Bitcoin finally get a scaling solution? Is the 2mb+segwit really deployable in august or is that just a smoke screen?  Or another date in the near future?

I'd like to see bitcoin getting a scaling solution. Even trading is hard when i move a chunk from one exchange to another and it takes 10-12 hours. Paying for small stuff is also a pain, not only due to the time it takes, but also paying for a $60 service and paying $6-7 in transaction costs feels just plain wrong.

So, what are you guys thoughts on this subject? If a scaling solution doesn't happen, what crypto would stand to benefit the most?

Thanks!

I come from the European and offshore gambling industry. I did develop some game concepts for slots producing companies in the past, so I'd say that they can't get a 'well respected Vegas' type consultant. Why? The online gambling situation in Vegas is non-existent. Second, they are mentioning things like 'there is a 400 billion dollar illegal betting industry' and mentions it in the sense they want to penetrate the illegal gambling industry. Due to several legal precedents, such as developers etc. being indicted for aiding and abetting illegal gambling ops, I sincerely doubt a Vegas type consultant will help them out.   i truly hope the project pans our for your sake, Jeep, but I have my sincere doubts.  They now raise 'further rounds', like 10 million is not enough? Sounds more and more like a cash grab.

Read my post. As an expert in gambling, I find the entire paper, their lack of a playable platform and that the lead guy, David Mah, is a 'health care professional', smells badly. I think none of these guys are actually pros, and the paper itself, leads me to believe that they have no experience what so ever in gambling. Even if Christensen is an ok developer, doing a large, enterprise scale gambling software is a multi-year project, with multi-million investments required. Do you guys want to invest in something that's ready to go, or a development project that _maybe_ launches in a couple of years?

I'm not a big basher of other guys projects, but honestly, I think this Wagerr sucks. As a background: I develop gambling software for a living, have run operational companies for 15+ years, and am well versed in cryptography, cryptocurrencies, and related themes. I thus believe I uniquely qualified to break down what wagerr is.
1. The head guy is in the 'medical field' in Australia. Chiropractor or holistics? Who knows. His professional background in gambling? In development? Non-existent.
2. In the whitepaper, he writes that his solution will help players to 'avoid violence' among other things. It lend me to question: what type of gambling have this person engaged in? It seems like he must have been engaging with loan-sharks that let guys wager on credit that then would break the legs of a guy that don't pay back. Again, who knows, but after 17 years in the field, I have never heard a player being subject to a physical attack. It's online gambling, people.
3. Immature platform. As another poster stated, a key element to succesful wagering platform is a inviting and fast user interface, nice features and general ease-of-use.  It seems like they are a long way from having a mature platform. They stated among this in their 'road map'.
● Event Chat Addon
● Rematch Function/friend challenge
● Dynamic Odd Balancing
● Moneyline betting
● Season winner/champions bets
Moneyline betting is a key factor of sportswagering. As is 'Season winner' or Futures.  Dynamic odd balancing, i assume they means Odds. It is indicative they have no idea how to do basic bookmaking and making sure they have as little liability as possible.  

So, while it's not in my habit; I will make a bold prediction: Wagerr won't amount to much of anything, as it seems like they don't have the first clue about sportsbetting, complete novices. Another example of an ICO that is just fishing for money based on a pipe dream.  

Hi,

I'm trying to get walletnotify option to work.

This is what I have in my bitcoin.conf file:
rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=rpcpwd
server=1
walletnotify=c:\btc\trans.bat %s


The content of transbat:
echo %1 > %1.trn

and i execute bitcoind with the following:

bitcoind  -conf=c:\btc\bitcoin.conf -testnet

I get no .trn files written at all even if the bitcoin client report inbound and outbound transactions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
