461  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][POWR][UPDATE] *** POWER LEDGER TOKEN SALE STARTS FRIDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER *** on: November 30, 2017, 04:10:48 AM
So much fudding and panicking over nothing. The market pumps, the market dumps. Spend a few months trading cryptos and you'll get used to it, and over time learn to read the signs and play the game yourself. Buy in the dips, sell when it's high (convert to fiat, or asset based cyrptos), buy more back when it all dumps again. Rinse and repeat. Current performance has nothing to do with PowerLedger.

The market will probably stabilize a bit more once the institutional investors get involved, but you'll still see the same patterns to some extent, as they'll probably just play the game themselves. If you don't have the stomach for it, get out of crypto, but don't FUD a rock solid project just because you don't understand the market.
462  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / BTT SCAM ICOs and Airdrop LIST on: November 30, 2017, 03:58:31 AM
Every few days another ICO is announced on this forum. Some of them use airdrops as a lure - don't get me wrong, I like airdrops, but the ICO part is what we're concerned about here.

I invite you all to list and discuss potential scam ICOs in this thread. That doesn't mean add an announcement/project just because you don't like them, or didn't get free tokens, this is to help prevent people investing money in scams.

I'll start by listing two new ones from this week.

# 1: Amazon X Token (AmazonExchage) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2456939.0 ICO starting Dec 1st.
This is an obvious scam. They use Amazon's brand name and imagery on their site, and all over their Twitter feed, giving the impression it's an Amazon company, it's not.

The domain is registered to:  Vedran Hochberger, veky1918@gmail.com in Croatia - no affiliation to Amazon

The airdrop form is just for harvesting email addresses, and doesn't even have a field for MEW addresses.



# 2: Ethereum Universe https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2462231.0 ICO starting Dec 2nd.
This token claims that it will "revolutionize monetary policy in the entire world" and solve a plethora of issues with Ethereum and market adoption, claims to use "multiple hashing algorithms" to ensure security, etc., etc. Everything this token does is inherited from Ethereum. Roadmap includes numerous ridiculous claims.

Take a look at the website and roadmap to see what I mean: https://ethereumuniverse.org/

The ECR20 is about as basic as you can get:
Code:
pragma solidity ^0.4.11;
 
contract Token {
    string public symbol = "";
    string public name = "";
    uint8 public constant decimals = 18;
    uint256 _totalSupply = 0;
    address owner = 0;
    bool setupDone = false;
  
    event Transfer(address indexed _from, address indexed _to, uint256 _value);
    event Approval(address indexed _owner, address indexed _spender, uint256 _value);
 
    mapping(address => uint256) balances;
 
    mapping(address => mapping (address => uint256)) allowed;
 
    function Token(address adr) {
        owner = adr;        
    }
  
    function SetupToken(string tokenName, string tokenSymbol, uint256 tokenSupply)
    {
        if (msg.sender == owner && setupDone == false)
        {
            symbol = tokenSymbol;
            name = tokenName;
            _totalSupply = tokenSupply * 1000000000000000000;
            balances[owner] = _totalSupply;
            setupDone = true;
        }
    }
 
    function totalSupply() constant returns (uint256 totalSupply) {        
        return _totalSupply;
    }
 
    function balanceOf(address _owner) constant returns (uint256 balance) {
        return balances[_owner];
    }
 
    function transfer(address _to, uint256 _amount) returns (bool success) {
        if (balances[msg.sender] >= _amount
            && _amount > 0
            && balances[_to] + _amount > balances[_to]) {
            balances[msg.sender] -= _amount;
            balances[_to] += _amount;
            Transfer(msg.sender, _to, _amount);
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
 
    function transferFrom(
        address _from,
        address _to,
        uint256 _amount
    ) returns (bool success) {
        if (balances[_from] >= _amount
            && allowed[_from][msg.sender] >= _amount
            && _amount > 0
            && balances[_to] + _amount > balances[_to]) {
            balances[_from] -= _amount;
            allowed[_from][msg.sender] -= _amount;
            balances[_to] += _amount;
            Transfer(_from, _to, _amount);
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
 
    function approve(address _spender, uint256 _amount) returns (bool success) {
        allowed[msg.sender][_spender] = _amount;
        Approval(msg.sender, _spender, _amount);
        return true;
    }
 
    function allowance(address _owner, address _spender) constant returns (uint256 remaining) {
        return allowed[_owner][_spender];
    }
}

Please be careful where you invest your money, and if you find other obvious scams, please post them here with a brief description of why it's a scam.

Also, for anyone that missed it, here's a quick summary from today's AMA session...

1. There are QSP partnerships coming up, will be announced when permitted.
2. There is a meeting coming up with NEO, we are examing various block chains.
3. PoH'ers will earn airdrops from every company we audit, from 1-3% of the entire marketcap of THEIR token.
4. QSP is working with an insurance company to investigate insurance for smart contracts. 
5. Something exciting will happen on or before Christmas day. Think of this as a holiday gift for all our token holders!
6. We share an advisor with Chainlink.
7. Please think of your Proof of Care 2 submissions.
8. Main product release coming March 2018
9. Your Proof of Care Score is not entirely dependent on how many tokens you Hodl, we care more about your Proof of Care.
465  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] Quantstamp - The First Decentralized Smart Contract Security Platform on: November 29, 2017, 11:32:30 PM
Here's a link to today's AMA in case anyone mist it: https://www.facebook.com/quantstamp/videos/1224807517663791/

Great insights into where they're going, the foundation they're building and how the business model will work. With the current QSP price, it's a great time to buy.
466  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] Quantstamp - The First Decentralized Smart Contract Security Platform on: November 29, 2017, 10:45:49 PM
The coin was added to the KuCoin today, but I do not see any information about it in the coinmarketcap. What do you think now is an interesting price to buy tokens of Quantstamp, or is it still worth waiting for a deeper correction?

It typically takes a day or two before a new exchange shows up on CMC. Check it again on Friday, and you should see it listed.
467  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN+AIRDROP][EUT] Ethereum Universe | SECURE | LOW SUPPLY | In Development on: November 29, 2017, 05:14:27 PM
Help me understand that value proposition here...Super basic token (take a look at the contract on Etherscan), no utility, no team, roadmap aims to get listed on exchanges and start a Reddit group, and promises things that ALL ECR20 tokens already inherit from the Ethereum blockchain. There is nothing new - zero, zilch, niet, nada, rien. Yet we're supposed to believe this will be the biggest thing since sliced bread, solving all the problems facing ETH??? Please. Might as well go hunting for a leprechaun, Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy.   
468  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XRP] Ripple Speculation on: November 29, 2017, 04:11:48 PM
This is definitely good news.

Arrington - "I seriously think that we'll be in the trillions next year, and that we'll start to see institutional money," he continued. "I think next year you'll see significant gains."

With CME launching their Bitcoin futures service in two weeks (Man Group and JP Morgan have said they'll be using the service), and now NASDAQ  planning a Bitcoin futures service in 2018: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/breaking-nasdaq-plans-bitcoin-futures-launch-2018-wsj/ Expect explosive growth across the crypto space next year  Grin
469  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will suffer ‘wild crashes,’ big investor warns on: November 29, 2017, 03:16:58 AM
He's probably trying to cause a sell-off so that he can buy in bulk ahead of the CME BTC futures launch in two weeks. Man Group and even JP Morgan have said they'll be using CMEs service, which is likely to make the price grow even faster/higher.

I'd take what you read on the New Yorker with a pinch of salt.
470  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can ETH Touch 500$ in new year? on: November 29, 2017, 01:08:12 AM
By the end of the month it will be @ 500.

Probably even sooner than that, it's already hovering at just under $480, a $20 jump shouldn't be too far off. Most likely within the next couple of days. Crypto is getting mainstream, and a lot of new investors are jumping in, driving up the prices. I'm curious as to whether it can hit $1000 be the end of the year.
471  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How much do you get from airdrops - a review on: November 29, 2017, 12:54:14 AM
Why don't you participate in bounty campaings rather. I see airdrop as a waste of time without a real income be generated. Is anyone making a living from airdrop?

Another BIG red flag to look out for, is drops tied to an ICO, that get distributed before the conclusion of the token sale. That instantly kills any credibility in my mind, as it devalues the token before it's even launched, often resulting in traders on Etherdelta getting the tokens cheaper than people are paying for them via the official site.

I would say an airdrop with ico is even better, zhey get marketing and you get an airdrop where someone actually paid something for it

You're right, but you missed my point  Wink

Airdrops tied to an ICO are definitely better, but...if the airdrop is released before the ICO is complete, and ALL tokens have been distributed, it's generally going to be an amature project and won't end up having any real value.
472  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin reach $10,000 today 26 Nov 2017? on: November 29, 2017, 12:44:46 AM
Do you think Bitcoin will hit $10k today? its $9457 atm



Bitcoin has touched $10077 price in yobit exchange so today 28th november 2017 bitcoin has passed $10k price. but still their is more high price to be seen before correction in this bull run. i am hoping that we can see 11k price in one or two days before the market go for correction and traders start to take profit
You probably do not believe your eyes? Today, the media already spread the information that Bitcoin broke its new record. Today, some exchanges have fixed 10 200 dollars for 1 Bitcoin. I think that Bitcoin will not stay on track.

Yep, we were all a little off on our predictions. Didn't expect it to hit $10k quite this fast (thought it would be next week), but here we are  Grin

So...question is, can it hold at $10k, and how long will it take to get to $15k?
473  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][POWR][UPDATE] *** POWER LEDGER TOKEN SALE STARTS FRIDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER *** on: November 29, 2017, 12:37:48 AM
Just another project Power Ledger is involved with . .
Greensync (Melbourne) has a platform called DEX, a communications and operations platform intended to solve the riddle of interoperability between DERs of different makes and models to maintain the safe and secure operation of the energy system. (DER = Distributed Energy Resource).

The Power Ledger platform provides the transactive layer to the operating platform allow the owners of DER to be compensated for providing network and system support services. Power Ledger is a project partner in DEX.

Any word on when Emphy will be listed on other exchanges? Price on Etherdelta is fluctuating wildly. We need bigger, more credible exchanged for this to really hit it's true potential.
475  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] Quantstamp - The First Decentralized Smart Contract Security Platform on: November 28, 2017, 09:50:43 PM
People are panic selling within days of the token going live. It's OK though, the weak hands will wash out and then it should stabilize. Crypto noobs freak out if there aren't announcements and success stories the moment the project launches. There's supposed to be an AMA session somewhere tomorrow, but I can't find links. Anyone know when/where it's happening?


Here:

http://quantstampnews.com/2017/11/live-youtube-ama-29-11-1000-pst/

and...

Currently, the cost of auditing smart contracts starts at $ 5,000 and takes at least a week. The goal of Quantstamp is to reduce the cost to $ 10 for each audit delivered within a few minutes after the filing of an intellectual audit contract.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Please keep up the activity on this channel so that we can keep the fudding down. Unfortunately a lot of people on here start panic selling if they don't get instant feedback on their questions.

For anyone else reading this...Buy the dip!
476  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage on: November 28, 2017, 08:42:12 PM
Does Sia have an update API, true of false?
https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/tree/master/doc

Some changes are being made to the APIs currently, but the resulting APIs will always be backwards compatible with old applications.

Hi guys!

I have one question, because I do not understand something.
Do Siacoin have a limited number of coins (limit quantity) or will they be created indefinitely?

The supply is infinite to incentivize miners securing the network forever. However the block reward is smaller over time and it will reach a minimum of 30KS/block. The inflation, for that reason, will be smaller and smaller. For instance, inflation rate today is 23% but it will be 3-4% in 2020. You can check the numbers here: https://siastats.info/supply_inflation.html

Also consider that in a future update Proof of Burn mechanics will be introduced for hosts to prove their legitimacy. So the more network usage, more burnt coins. At some point, if the network is big enough, the coin could be deflationary. Also, millions (or billions) will be locked in file contracts as the network keeps growing

This sounds stressful , does it mean the SIACOIN I hold will not appreciate until 2026 ..and even then it will depend on the demand ? Are there any projections ?

That's not how I'm reading it. There will be natural market fluctuation, but from 2020 (only two years from now) the supply will diminish and potentially drop due to network burn, thus increasing value. So, no...not eight years away, but starting in two.

478  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AML BitCoin Token Sale is now LIVE ! on: November 28, 2017, 06:45:23 PM
With news like this https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/us-senate-judiciary-to-hold-panel-hearing-on-aml-laws-today-focusing-on-digital-currencies/ the case for AML Bitcoin becomes increasingly relevant.

My biggest frustration with this project, is the slow adoption rate. Again, I HIGHLY suggest that the team consider doing some bounty campaigns to get the word out.

The first phase AML token sale has been going for nearly two months - which is how long most crowd-sales/ICOs take to complete. At this rate it will be at least April/May, if not June/July before it's done. Given the rising price of Ethereum and BTC, the early adopters are losing money, compared to those buying in now. Instead of 300 AML to 1 ETH, we could be getting 450+. If it's going to drag on like this, you should either match the current market rate for all contributors (after all, you'll still be cashing out at market value), or offer a refund.

I'd love to see this project do well, but the slow pace is getting extremely annoying.
479  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: 🔷 BOUNTIES 🔷 Geens NPO - GEE Token Sale on: November 28, 2017, 06:26:03 PM

@Geens.com NPO

The Geens project looks very promising, but the community management has been pretty lackluster. There are a lot of frustrated people here. which could easily be avoided with a little interaction. If the bounties won't be assessed until a later date, set the expectation, so people don't feel like they're doing it for nothing.

Same goes for how and when tokens will be distributed. I would assume that there will be an entry field for MEW addresses closer to the launch (although I don't see any reason why is shouldn't be there now) and that tokens will be distributed once the ICO closes.

All of the above would be absolutely fine, but it needs to be communicated.
