Anyone have any information about the neo wallet on bittrex?? Disabled pending code update for days. Need to move coin to my neo wallet but don’t want to risk losing any.

You probably already know that the Bittrex NEO wallet is now enabled again, so I took the opportunity to sell a few NEO as it looked like it may be in for a drop, well I sold and it did drop - a bit - then shot up like an arrow on fire. Do'h! what an idiot why did I do that, should have just held.
I've held onto NEO for a long time and, boy, am I going to hold onto what I have left for dear life.

That's why I just HODL. I own about 20 different cryptoassets, all that I bought last year. I think I made about 30 total trades last year; mainly acquiring those 20 coins. My last trade was early November. I don't need the stress of trading.

I think price go to 100+ till 20 FEB

Would be great! The trend development is very nice. A very hard pump, than dump to half way so net net an increase. Hodll!  Grin

why do you think, LSK could be @100$ ? Are there any fundamentals to proof this message ? For me, it looks like a snowball system because only the 100 delegates earns something, and they have to be voted to be on top of the 100 winners (which paid a lot of LSK to be in the voters list). On the other side, each transaction has a very expensive fee for 0.1 LSK for the chain operators and 0.1 LSK on the deposit place. That mean, a transaction costs 0.2 LSK. With a price of 100$ you have tp pay 20$ fees/LSK (20%) what's huge on the price level of 100. I don't see any future if this rules and fees consists and I no longer see much value for LSK because other projects with similar focus has made a good progress. Ethereum is the leader in that side chain biz today and still growing with real business cases and easy to use blockchain adaption. I can't imagine, that lsk has the same potential because the current circumstantes, which are in my personal opinion wrong.

I'm in LSK since 2$ and sold them today for good money.

just my 2 satoshis. correct me, if I'm wrong.

Yes, the large fees are currently an issue. The good news is that dynamic fees are on Lisk's plate and should be addressed this year. The fees will be based on the current Lisk price vs USD. So they may set a fee of say $.25 per transaction instead of .1 LSK.

If I understand correctly then March 5, will be handing out tokens 1-1. And what are tokens? This is what the new tokens?

Info on the Callisto airdrop for ETC holders:   https://forum.ethereumclassic.org/t/january-dev-update-commonwealth/

Callisto Initial Distribution

It was decided to distribute the initial stake of CLO between current ETC holders. We will make a snapshot of ETC blockchain at block 5500000 (approximately 5 March, 2018. This depends on ETC block time and ETC hashrate changes). Then we implement the initial balance of each ETC holder in the Callisto network genesis block, so each ETC owner will receive CLO coins automatically in a 1:1 ratio to the amount of ETC that he had at block 5500000.

Telegram is having an ICO and including storage and file sharing, RIP SIA and STORJ

Why would I want to support a centralized more expensive service from Telegram that probably won't be ready for 2 years. Sounds like a money grab. Sia already has a working product that is being improved all the time.

Nope

Can somebody please tell me if it is still possible to vote for lisk elite group and still get rewards?  on their website it says they are not allowing new registrations.  thanks!

yes you can vote and get rewards. i have asked this quesion to someone from elites group. they only closed the registration for new members.

You don't need to register for elite to get their rewards anymore, just vote for all elite members.
429  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FACTOM - Introducing Honesty to Record-Keeping on: January 11, 2018, 04:40:07 PM
the price in this year will be more and more, if u have readed Factom AMA on reddit you shoult know that.

in this year factom will share companies (fortune 100) from Banking, Insurance and Healthcare industries who works with FACTOM + in the few months M3 will be completed.

We can expect $500 - $1000 in this year.

link to the factom AMA, missed that one?

It seems many simply do not know what was on the AMA. Only interested members of the community, and ordinary people did not even hear about the prospects. We need articles in major media.

Very good point I agree with this.

The AMA has kind of shined some light on whats going on with factom but I think that only a small portion
of investors have got the glimpse of it yet. There has been some price action but not nearly what I would expect.

If we get some stuff that is really in the spotlight we will see massive gains. Factom isnt even over 1bil
market cap yet. I cant believe how much money is in some of these other projects.
It is quite clear that price suppression and whale accumulation is strong. When the time is right the price will go parabolic.
When there is an explosion of the price, I advise you not to sell everything. Think about your future, the future of your children and grandchildren. Just leave a little FCT for them, it will be an excellent investment in the welfare of your family.

My philosophy if I want to completely exit a cryptoasset, is not to sell it all, but still keep 10% of my coins in case they go parabolic.
430  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: | ARDOR | Scalable Blockchain-as-a-Service Platform | Proof of Stake on: January 11, 2018, 04:34:05 PM
Let me guess, Bittrex will accept ardor trading, deposit and withdrawal when ardor returns to its 0.10$ price? Grin

It is easy to be a critic. I am sure Bittrex would love to have trading and the wallets open for transactions. They are loosing trading revenue by having it closed. It appears it is not an easy fix, but I am sure they will get it done when they can. Also I imagine bittrex along with other exchanges need to deal with the the Intel and AMD chip vulnerability, and that is likey their top priority.
431  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ETC] Ethereum Classic: Immutable Smart Contracts on: January 10, 2018, 08:00:55 PM
Haven't seen positive correlation between two ethereums just like that we are seeing right now. ETC is to ETH as BCH is to BTC, and moves in ETC should be directionally opposite to ETH. It doesn't seem that Barry is worried about the price anymore. Where are all those thick bagged bastards who have been vocal about ethereum classic just half a year back. When something starts looking like a crashing jet there should be a valid reason why.

Believe what you want, but the development activity in ETC has been very impressive. There is room for both ETH and ETC.
432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage on: January 10, 2018, 07:58:14 PM
I would like to bring a discussion here on this thread, actually how do you see the future of Siacoin. I have a feeling that whether Sia will be just a dumping and pumping coin. now you see it has lot of competitors. there are plenty of options for storage spaces for people. So It won't be easy for Sia generate a real value in the crypto world? what do you think?


Competitors? Of course, but the cloud competition is like 10 times more expensive and not decentralized or private. The blockchain competition has a few with white papers only or poor working products. Others like Storj are centralized. However there is room for multiple vendors in this space and for me Sia is my favorite. Why, because the Sia team is has a really top notch development team with great vision and excellent communication. I have been hodling for about a year now, and plan to for many years.

Will Neo ever crumble? At the moment, the exchange can not translate the fractional parts of the Neo only multiples of 1. This creates certain inconvenience.


Each Antshares represents a share kind of like a stock. You can only hold whole units of antshares in your own wallet. Exchanges do allow for trading fractional amounts.  GAS, the fuel of the system, however, supports smaller units.
434  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][LSK] Lisk | Blockchain Application Platform for JavaScript Developers on: January 08, 2018, 08:28:52 PM

That's crypto, stick around awhile you will see plenty of volatility.

Why NEO doesn't have referral or affiliate programme?

No need, they already have plenty of community support. Hodlers can earn GAS simply by holding their NEO in a wallet then control.

Monaize and a dozen more dICO by summer + easy gui for BarterDex = 100$ entirely possible

Yea, it is almost likely if this crypto bull keeps running and the above occur. I think BarterDex is a real killer app. HODL!

439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DCR] Decred - Community Governance | Bitcoin Devs | Lightning Network on: January 05, 2018, 07:26:31 PM
Has anyone else noticed the curious trend in cryptocurrency prices right now where the value of the lowest priced coins is growing by the largest % despite them having a huge coin supply? To me this says that the cryptocurrency space is overflowing with inexperienced traders/investors who have no idea what market cap is or how it's calculated. FOMO fever is the only explanation for this. People just hearing about cryptocurrency feel like they missed the boat on bitcoin and are trying to catch the next big thing. These are the same people who think that they need to be able to afford a whole coin. Take Cardano for example.. at a price of ~$1 it seems like a steal and people like owning a whole coin of something instead of a small fraction of a bitcoin, but then you look closer and see that there is a whopping 25,927,070,538 ADA.  That's about 1500x more coins than bitcoin! In a rational market scarcity is what drives up price and many of these coins have billions yet this market seems to be unable to do basic math and rewards it! Crazy.

Why is this relevant to Decred?

Decred ($109, 6,491,330 DCR) has the smallest circulating supply of the top 50 coins with the exception of only Veritaseum ($377, 2,036,645 VERI) and ZCash ($578, 2,948,644). (Bitconnect doesn't count because it is a ponzi scheme) Now cut the circulating Decred coin supply in half due to them being locked up in POS mining. On this simple metric alone the price of Decred in the current market landscape should be so much higher. If and when this irrational market we find ourselves in ever starts to resemble reality then it will put a smile on Decred holders.

Disclaimer: I don't care about technical analysis or swing trading at all. I only hold coins long term for the projects I believe in. In this case it looks like the Decred price is still at least an order of magnitude lower than it should be.

Agree with everything you said + the disclaimer. Although I do trade a little with small % of portfolio when chance occurs

What do you think the long term value should be?

I'd be lying if I claimed to know what the long term price should be. Price discovery should happen naturally as a result of the free markets. With that being said, based on the current total cryptocurrency market cap, the limited circulating coin supply, the talented Devs, and what I believe to be superior tech of Decred, I think the price of Decred should be over $1000 relative to the other coins once the attention shifts from quick buck pump and dump coins to legitimate society altering technologies.

The reason why I think the price of Decred must be stated in terms relative to other coins and the total cryptocurrency market is because to some degree cryptocurrency is still an experiment. A few assumptions are being made in order to get to these growing valuations.

1) That the consensus mechanisms underlying POW and/or POS cannot be undermined. To this date there have been no successful hacks or exploits on bitcoins code but in the unlikely event that one is found there would be a devastating correction on the entire market. 9+ years of the brightest white and black hat hackers attacking bitcoin's network have not found anything so this is a great indicator of confidence in the network but on the other hand look at the latest security vulnerability in intel chips.. anything is possible. The stakes are high but so are the rewards. For the first time in human history people have the option to be in control of their own money (you are not in control of the money you store in banks).

2) Mass adoption and acceptance of cryptocurrency as a store of value is coming and will lead to large institutions and 401k funds to begin allocating a percentage of assets into cryptocurrency as part of a diversified portfolio.

3) They will be able to scale. This is not just Decred's challenge but all cryptocurrency will need to be able to increase the number of transactions per second if they are to cut out the middlemen (visa/banks) and be used for everyday transactions (like daily coffee) as promised in the original bitcoin whitepaper. This is an active area of research and development.

And a couple Decred specific assumptions:

4) Decred's governance and superior tech is finally recognized by the market. The truth is that many people haven't even heard of Decred. If Decred is added to more exchanges such as Coinbase and exchanges in the eastern markets, awareness and acceptability will increase. Yes this is true for all coins but the point here is that if people had more time to understand the technology behind the coins they are buying they would understand that Decred is a better mousetrap. Who wouldn't buy the better mousetrap?

5) Decred is resistant to forking which siphons off value from the main chain and errodes confidence. This is by design because Decred stakeholders have a voice via stake voting unlike bitcoin. People don't want to have to ask themselves if they are holding the right "flavor" of bitcoin every morning due to the endless forks that are a result of their dysfunctional governance.

6) Decred's performance relative to other cryptocurrencies will increase. Decred can totally replace bitcoin, bitcoin does nothing that Decred doesn't do better. It can also siphon value from other coins with weaker governance (DASH) and if the privacy features are good can siphon value from the leading anonymous coins (ZEC, ZEN, ZCL, XMR, etc). This has not happened yet but is likely to happen since Decred in theory is much more agile than other currencies due to it's built in voting. As was seen in the speed in which lightning network integration was proposed, voted on, and nearly integrated Decred can quickly implement new original features as well as assimilate the best features from other cryptocurrencies and pivot the intended use as directed by the stakeholders votes. (Decred Dev's please correct me if I am over promising but this is how I understand it)

7) This is a more minor point. When Decred Asics are introduced it might remove the constant sell pressure caused by Claymore Dual mining. I'm not sure that I buy that Decred asic owners are more likely to hold onto coins. I also haven't decided whether I think that asics are good or bad for the network but I think this is worth noting as removal of significant sell pressure would quicken the price discovery.

If those assumptions are true then the total cryptocurrency marketcap will raise to at least several trillion and therefore in the coming years the price will increase many fold. No one will believe me if I post a long term sustainable price because human minds are trained to think linearly however increases in network usage affect the price of a limited supply of coins exponentially. I think it will go beyond bitcoin's current value.  

Very well said. Decred had a real chance of replacing Bitcoin as the store of value coin (digital gold), or at least it will likely be one of the few strong store of value coins. The chosen store of value coin(s) will be the highest price cryptoasset in the long run (from the book Cryptoassets). Sure I own 20 or so different coins, but Decred is the only one on the do not sell ANY for 3+ years list. Seriously hodl this one tight.

Is the Decred Paymetheus wallet still supported or not? Or is it replaced by this Decredition wallet?

The wallet is supported for now, but not much further development is expected. Eventually Decredition will be the only supported wallet.
