Should i invest in this currency buy selling nem. NEM has supply of 9 Billion but 0x has only 500 million. Any suggestions?

I am interested in this one, too.  I just did a bit research on it today, and it's in my top 15 list of alt-coin buys.  There are so many new etherium tokens hitting the market lately it's hard to tell what's legit and has potential.  I'll be interested, too, in what others have to say.

Yup, not mineable. A quick way to check this is to visit coinmarketcap.com, they put an asterisk next to circulating supply if the coin is not mineable.

I think of steem as being more like Reddit than Facebook.  I assumed they named it steemit to sound like Reddit.  I do like the idea being paid for great posts, and it may someday gain popularity as a Reddit like forum, but I can't see it being like Facebook or competing for the social media one liners and photo sharing.
524  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Missed out on DeepOnion, looking for next big airdrop on: August 31, 2017, 01:01:15 AM
Well it seems I missed out on DeepOnion, am now trying to keep a look out for next big airdrop that's simple to enter and with the next potentially well put together altcoins

It is happening every week, you can join now

Join what?
You mean the sig campaign  Cheesy
Airdrop LOL

Every airdrop has rules on how to get the free coins. Many airdrops require you to be already rich of BTCs in order to get their coins (Byteball, Bitcore), something which most of people can't do. Others to have very high Bitcointalk ranking (Bitsend), which requires having years of activity. DeepOnion has a different approach, everyone who was in bitcointalk when they started the campaign can get them, but they have to do something to get the money. Just like in real life.

I don't mean to go off topic, but as someone who was not around for Byteball and Bitcore, what were the BTC holding requirements?  For as expensive as BTC is, it's hard for people to get just one bitcoin these days.

Thank-you for the information.  I will work to get my status up to Member and try to get in.
I'm sorry but you will no be able to join even if you reach Member rank, because your account was created after July 12th.

Yeah, that's the problem that a lot of people are having ... there is a solid cut-off date that you can't apply for signature campaign, instead of being able to rank-up and join.  I was going to join, but read the rules, and could not.  Oh well.  I thought I read their air drop would go on for months, several rounds, so maybe we'll get lucky and they'll push the date back in the future....
526  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Long term investment? on: August 30, 2017, 03:39:09 PM
I think the OP is the right path for a long term investment.  Diversified portfolio of "blue chip" coins. The only thing I did different was I equal-weighted BitCoin, LiteCoin, Dash, and Etherium.  I would equal-weight Monero when Exodus gets that in their wallet.  My next move is to take a chance on a new comer or two ... Omise Go looks like it has potential, so I'd second that one.  Picking a good "under the radar" alt coin is the hard part.
527  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Suddenly, Russia Plans To Ban Cryptocurrency Sales To ‘Ordinary People’ on: August 30, 2017, 12:48:16 PM
Honestly, not that different than America, where we have "accredited investor" laws that prevent people with networth of less than $2 million (excluding your home) from participating in a lot of investment opportunities.  What Russia is doing is a little more controlling, but the idea of elitism disguised as "protecting you from yourself" isn't unique to them.
528  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do I know what wallet i can use for different crypto currencies and tokens? on: August 30, 2017, 12:37:28 PM
If you want a wallet to hold multiple coins, you can try exodus or jaxx, which holds about a dozen different coins, and it's clearly marked, so there is no confusion.  There is also Exodus/Eden, which holds about 30 different coins, but is currently in an unsupported/testing phase, so it is basically "us at your own risk".

For ICOs, it is best to store them only in the wallet recommended on the ICO announcement page, at least until the bugs are worked out.
529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 10000 PIVX STOLEN on: August 30, 2017, 04:50:30 AM
Trying to figure out a robbery in anonymous transactions is going to be hard work.  Cheesy
It would really be a hardwork specially we wont ever know on whos the one who holds that wallet. It really sucks when you are doing the best security steps for you to secure your holdings and suddenly it was being hacked by someone. In the case of op, i dont have any idea on how the hacker get those pivx he had since he mentioned that his knowledgeable already on the possible ways of hacking.

He explained it in post #43 ... A slack poster posing as a developer tricked him into dumping his private key.  Sucks, but I appreciate him sharing this story because let's the rest of use noobs know what to look out for.

I'm too much of a bitcointalk.org noob to qualify under DeepOnion's rules.   Sad  If this is successful and catches on with other developers, maybe next time.
532  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The safest way to invest in Cryptocurrency on: August 29, 2017, 12:33:29 PM
I wouldn't hold anything online (keep it in a wallet you control) and know that almost nothing is regulated and even the "credible" sites (exchanges/investment sites) often end badly.  

I also invest in stocks, have a rental property, have some gold, and Lending Club.  Spread your money around, and don't invest more in Cryptos than you are willing to lose.  If my crypto holdings continue to grow as quickly as they have been, I'll take some off and put it in something safer, to keep accounts proportional.
533  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: STORJ to the MOON ! on: August 29, 2017, 02:11:29 AM
Are there any legal implications for Storj farmers (or Storj itself) if it becomes an outlet of pirated video and software?
534  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Mineable vs. Non-mineable coins on: August 29, 2017, 01:42:32 AM
I'm a little hesitant to buy non-mineable coins because it feels like their is a developer holding a lot of coins that could be dumped once a good price is reached, and there is not a good distribution.  But then I look at coinmarketcap.com, and see that over half of the top 25 is now non-mineable coins.  It seems like they are surging in popularity.  What are your thoughts on this?  Are the non-mineables really more risky?
535  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin recomended on: August 29, 2017, 01:36:26 AM
What do you guys think of EOS as a long term holding? 
536  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Altcoins are traded with Bitcoin or Ether and not with fiat directly? on: August 27, 2017, 03:15:14 AM
I think it's because outside of the main players, the ones that have been steadily in the top 10, their isn't enough demand for something like Coinbase to start adding lots of Altcoin support.
537  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Lot of new coins in Exodus "Eden" Wallet -- what do you think has potential? on: August 27, 2017, 03:07:17 AM
Exodus just made available a new version of their wallet, Eden, that they are billing as "unsupported" and basically "use at your own risk".

They now have support for (in addition to main players - Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Etherium, LiteCoin) ...and their already supported coins, Augur, Golem, etc. ...

0x
Aragon
BAT
Bancor
Civic
Decred
DigixDoa
District0x
EOS
Firstblood
Funfair
Gnosis
Metal
Qtum
Omise Go
Status
Storj
Wings

Do any of these stand out as a good opportunity to anyone?  I've been researching them all day and I like ideas behind Omise Go, Qtum, EOS ... Metal doesn't look like anything new, but is gaining steadily.

538  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens when we hit 21,000,000 bitcoins? on: August 25, 2017, 08:43:10 PM
For the miners, If bitcoin is still popular and there are a lot of transactions, it may still be worth mining just for the transaction fees.  

The incentive to mine will be greatly reduced over the coming years, each time the reward "halves", anyway.  What we may see is slow phase-out of the hashpower, rather than everyone continuing to mine like crazy until the last bit coin is had.
539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Alt coin mining on: August 25, 2017, 08:15:23 PM
I think the economics of it is that if the coin is worth mining, I.e. Profittable, it is going to be dominated by pools and solo miners with massive equipment ... You'd be lucky to get one block every few months with low power equipment.  You might be able to jump on some near dead coins (hoping they rebound) or brand new coins while the difficulty is low, but again, the economics is that you are probably better off saving on your electric bill and putting that money towards buying the cheap coins (if you think they will rebound or rise) than mining them.
540  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Any solution for mining on: August 25, 2017, 08:03:18 PM
I'm far from an expert on these coins, but Off the top of my head, you can earn Steem by writing articles, and Sia and Storj by sharing HD space.  Golem is supposed be earned by sharing CPU power (i don't think its up,and running, yet, though).  There are certainly some "no mining" coins out there, and all require either effort, skill, or hardware, but shouldn't send your electric bill through the roof.
