501  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I will never join AirDrop programs any more on: July 23, 2018, 08:56:01 AM
Maybe you're just joining the wrong airdrops!

There are some projects, like trade.io that goes through a vetting/checking process for ICO's to make sure they are legitimate, then airdrops tokens from that ICO to you if you hold a certain amount of their native 'trade token'. For example, they are doing an airdrop for Watchdog ICO.

So definitely can still get decent airdrops if you pick the right projects or do a lot of research! As a side, trade io will be launching their exchange within a week and are running a few promotions to attract users - have a look here if you're interested in the promo side.
502  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What makes listing of coins so high on: July 23, 2018, 08:49:29 AM
The reason that listing is so high as Exchanges asks for high listing fees . They ask so much as they can and  as they are in that position. They want  part of the ICO money . For example Binance listing fee is $1million.
By the way Binance has made more profit last year than Deutsche bank over $1 billion. So, short answer is -profit.

Yeah even smaller exchanges at the peak at the end of 2017 were charging a lot. Crytopia for example charged 200k. Even today Cryptobridge charges 1 BTC, which is about 8k. And some of these exchanges had a real problems with keeping up with demand.
503  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coins under $1 on: July 22, 2018, 09:50:55 AM
I think trade.io could definitely be a coin under $1 that goes much further.

They'll be launching their exchange within a week, which will also have a lot of interesting traditional financial tools - so more like an exchange and overall investment platform.

If they can pull it off, it can definitely go a lot higher than its current price under $1. I think they'll also get the liquidity and volume on the exchange, as they're doing a few promotions to attract users - have a look here if you're interested in the promo side.

In a word, it is probably that Muncoin team have actually abandoned Muncoin project since April of 2018.
Of course, someone who invested money into Muncoin project can keep their hopelessly recovery of the coin.
Personally, I believe all gone away.
sadly to say, but you maybe right.
It seems that Muncoin investors, especially masternode inverstors, will lose all their money due to such a scam masternode project.

Yeah seriously though, if you're throwing money at a project where there is zero detail about the developers, than what recourse do you have?

I mean, if you're willing to take a punt, you can always mine some, but paying in BTC for some random altcoin in hopes the masternode will take off is always going to be risky.
505  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ANN [MCO] MONACO #1 Cryptocurrency Payments Card on: July 21, 2018, 05:05:30 AM
So how does the MCO referrals work exactly, and where do the benefits go?

The way I read it is that the person I refer receives a certain amount of MCO equivalent in USD (depending on what level card I have), and I receive 'crypto cashback' percentage based on the amount my referral spends on their card indefinitely? And the 'crypto cashback' on referrals is just on the amount they spend on fees (like trading)?
506  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] STRAKS - Decentralised, Open Source, Community Driven Digital Currency on: July 21, 2018, 04:49:11 AM
Listing on Kucoin would be great result. Failing that could even try okex?

I mean, the huge chunk of cash (something 200k USD, probably more) spent for the HitBTC listing was a massive flop.

Getting better value and volume out of cryptobridge right now.
507  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ZEN] ZenCash: Private, Secure, Resilient CryptoCurrency with zk-SNARKs on: July 21, 2018, 02:34:58 AM

Well this is partly truth, because we don't make decisions on our own, we listen community and Yesterday's fork is an answer on many requests from community to increase  Revards for Secure Node and to increse number of Coins needed for Nodes.
Now we have Secure Nodes and Super Nodes and they are direct answer at those questions.

You got clear answer that we have plants to do something regarding ASIC without doubt, this is official statement https://blog.zencash.com/zencash-statement-on-potential-equihash-algorithm-change/  But we don't want to rush, to do something without investigation and testing! Nor we want to give you false confidence and sense that we are going into the  "WAR against ASIC", only to gain some cheap points from miners, like some others who manipulating those feelings of yours..

There will be always those who are not satisfied Lips sealed, this why we are implementing voting system so everybody who owns some ZEN will be able to govern this project directly using their rights to vote and make proposals.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think you have anything to lose by forking away from ASICs. I think it is pretty clear that the net benefit of forking away from ASICS is higher than the net benefit of keeping with ASIC algorithms, especially if the focus is on decentralisation.

Back when there were no ASIC Equihash miners, you didn't hear anyone in the community saying 'you should fork TO an ASIC algorithm!', while now there is plenty of support to fork away from an ASIC. The community sentiment is clearly in the direction of less ASICs and more mining decentralisation Smiley

I bet if the Zen voting system was implemented tomorrow and you had a vote on this issue, you'd have a pretty clear result in support of GPU mining.

But if you wait too long, the damage may be done and perhaps through ASICs/Bitmain, Zen ownership may become a little too centralised and who knows what the outcome of the vote would be.

I'm still of the view that Zen in many hands is the best way forward to increase adoption. As a side, this is another reason I really didn't like the Binance Zen listing competition, which required some like 30k USD in Zen purchases to be close to being eligible.

Too much spam on this thread lately. Every second post is someone copy pasting trade.io medium article or a twitter post. Seriously that's not the point of a 'forum'. How about actually sharing an opinion.

Anyway, I'm interested to hear who won the first lot of 'dare to share' holiday packages. If you have even one entry you're in with a chance! Wink Maybe they'll even be a bitcointalk poster.

Speaking of hacked accounts.

My account was hacked a few days ago.

Check your merits. Especially for anything on July 17.

Checked my smerits. Still F* all.

Good to know I wasn't hacked.
510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ANN [MCO] MONACO #1 Cryptocurrency Payments Card on: July 19, 2018, 11:04:54 AM
Yep, they have delayed a lot with card release but I am still positive that they will fulfill everything they said on a whitepaper.

Many people believe the same as you but the problem is WHEN will they fulfil everything? If it might take another 2 years is it still worth it promoting this project?

And the goalposts keep changing.

It used to be that mco value would be based on the asset contract (for those that remember).

Then value was because cards were about to be released and there would be huge demand for the space grey and pink cards.

Then cards weren't released (and still arent) and now there are different cards and you can lock/hold tokens for longer to get extra benefits.

Just get cards out and build from there. Everything else is just marketing and idealism.

So help me understand - based on the 30 and 60 percent splits listed above, it is a total of 90 percent masternodes, and I'm assuming the rest is PoW? Also if that's the case how does the ICO work. Is the ICO for an initial amount of tokens, then on launch we switch to PoW and Masternodes?
512  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can We Finally Call This the DEATH of Bitcoin?!? on: July 18, 2018, 08:50:40 AM
Bitcoin sitting at 6,700.

That's more than my car! And my car loses value faster than bitcoin. How is it dead when it's rocking second hand car value? Wink
513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ZEN] ZenCash: Private, Secure, Resilient CryptoCurrency with zk-SNARKs on: July 17, 2018, 12:05:38 PM
Is it possible to run Windows, and have linux (say ubuntu) run windowed on a separate usb, and run a secure or supernode through the linux window? That would be a way around the issue.
You can setup a Linux Virtual Machine with VirtualBox..And you can use it on Windows  Wink


That's great. I'm sceptical that my bare bones mining rig system (that runs on Windows) has the ram and other requirements to smoothly run a node while mining 24/7, but it may be 'technically' possible through a VM.

But for anyone that was thinking they couldn't run a node because you like Windows.... well assuming you meet the other requirements you could probably run it through a Linux Virtual Machine on the side.

Getting 3100 Eth (so far) is really impressive, particularly in this market where a lot of people are more cautious.

As I've said before, I really like this big picture and ambitious project. Out of interest, do you have any detail on the number of contributors? For example, did most of what has been raised come from lots of large investors, or many small investors? 
515  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: 🔷trade.io🔷[ANN] [ICO]💲31,169,749 🔷Partner Civic & Bancor🔷HitBTC & OKEx on: July 17, 2018, 11:45:58 AM
Reminder that the trade.io exchange is about to go live. You can find further info from the trade token twitter page: https://twitter.com/TradeToken

Also, for those who are interested, I posted an article recently about trade io exchange and other functions of trade tokens. Also that the 'dare to share' campaign first run has only a few days to go. All the points from the article still stand, let me know what you think: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@hassy/trade-io-new-crypto-exchange-coming-mid-2018
516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hidden gems on: July 16, 2018, 11:09:33 AM
My hidden gems are trade.io, which is a new exchange with native token launching in a couple days.

Also Monaco (now owners of crypto.com) who will hopefully launch visa cards within a couple months.

Also like Bismuth, which is a python based coin, coded from scratch no clone coin rubbish with bismuth.
517  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ANN [MCO] MONACO #1 Cryptocurrency Payments Card on: July 16, 2018, 10:55:16 AM

Hello,

Simple in fact have you seen the logo Monaco on cards have dissapear now is just MCO. Look the cards at the beginning the Monaco name was on it. The reason i think is Monaco city open a case in december 2017 again MCO because there is copyright on the name Monaco and Monaco MCO use it without
authorization. I never understand why they did not solve the problem before they run the business (check if the name you want use it for your business have a copyright) !! I suppose the cards has been never  sending because of this and certainly other things we didn't know. Now it seem's ok. The cards have just mco on it.  It will be ok.



Monaco seems a failure to me because when ICOs raise $26 million and have no product over a year after the Team received the cash, then it is a BIG problem. Time to worry for investors.
I never understand why they did not search if the name have a copyright before using it. I ask them but i never had an answer...
I agree with you.
But number of people applying for the card is increasing constantly. you have to just wait and believe.

It sounds like there are a lot of unknowns that Monaco team did not consider. Like copyright issues with 'Monaco' name, compliance issues in different countries, logistics with launching cards...

I'm optimistic they'll still (eventually) get it done - they have the cash to do so! But I still remember in 2017 hearing that cards were 'weeks' away, with plans to release in the lead up to conferences. Well we're in mid 2018 and I'm hearing the same thing!

Still waiting for the average person to have a card in their hands, but I'm hopeful we're getting close...
518  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: 💠 DIW 💠 [ANN] [ICO] 💠 DIWtoken.com 💠 Decentralize Security on: July 16, 2018, 10:41:05 AM

Today, the price of gas is quite low (15 gwei). I do not understand what the team is waiting for? When the price of gas again is high, and they will say "Guys, you will not have much time to wait, as the price of gas is too high" What price are you waiting for ?? 1 gwei ??

My tokens have come through, so they are definitely working through the list if you haven't received your tokens already. My assumption is that there is a lot of manual checking to make sure the amounts are right and the network fees aren't too high.

It is a successful project and I'm in it for the longer term, so waiting an extra few days doesn't really bother me. DIW token isn't available on larger exchanges anyway so I'll be holding mine for a while. Just wait a while it will come through in time.
519  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ZEN] ZenCash: Private, Secure, Resilient CryptoCurrency with zk-SNARKs on: July 15, 2018, 10:44:43 AM
okay thanks i will look in to that and speed learning Linux :-)
We have extensive documentation and instructions how to do it, and actually you don't have to be an rocket scientist for this.
https://zencash.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ZEN/pages/7537322/Installation

 But anyway if you have any troubles you can ask for help in discord channels, or even bought completed nodes including support, from other members
 (few members of community actuly providing such services)


Is it possible to run Windows, and have linux (say ubuntu) run windowed on a separate usb, and run a secure or supernode through the linux window? That would be a way around the issue.

OMG, it's a very generous bounties campaign Shocked

Yeah the videos are for those who put in the effort and have the technical background (particularly for the first video).

The last one is more like outsourcing or subcontracting - it actually requires people to have some technical knowledge.

A bounty on how to set up a secure or super node with a simple video would be very popular too.
