5841  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum transaction speeds? on: February 17, 2018, 12:36:40 PM
Haven't done an Eth transfer in awhile, keep reading about congestion and slow speeds.
I'm looking at buying an ICO which is close to it's cap, how long are Eth transactions taking these days?

Over a day and I've probably missed out.

Cheers!

The classic resource to use to know how is the Ethereum network at a certain moment is https://ethgasstation.info/

On the right you will see this:

Speed   Gas Price
(gwei)
SafeLow (<30m)   1
Standard (<5m)   1
Fast (<2m)   8


 Those are the gas prices (in wei) that you should set on your transfer and the likely results in time confirmation that you´ll get. Depending on the ICO, there may be "gas wars" or just normal transactions. If the ICO is oversubscribed, it may sell in under a minute, so you may need to set a high gas price, sometimes too much to make sense.

After the few ups and downs of these weeks, seems that some of the coins have been let behind in terms of value, so is a good time to invest selectively.

Please let us know how it turns out BazzH. I contributed to the ICO and just saw the red flags today when I checked the website Sad.

I am very sorry, it did look like a normal ICO at first glance. I am not in but I don`t like the good ones to get the bad publicity from these others. Sad.
5844  Economy / Economics / Re: why do people agree to pay taxes? on: February 16, 2018, 01:43:35 PM
If you refuse to pay tax you are tax evader and you will get imprisoned. Better follow the rules of your house if you are still not sble to stand up on your own.

That is very dependant on the country. There are places where paying taxes is "for loosers" and other in which your own neighbour will tell on you if you avoid taxes. Is very cultural.
5845  Economy / Economics / Re: Better to mine or to buy ? on: February 16, 2018, 01:41:36 PM
Depending on the coin, the price of electricity, the time you have to dedicate to mining, the type of coins you have in mind, the views of the people that share your house or garage, .... If you are in doubt, buy. Mining takes time.
5846  Economy / Economics / Re: Economy in your country on: February 16, 2018, 01:37:48 PM
Most likely the effects of the economy will be noticed in 20 years time, it is like the internet, was there for a long time before being really commercial.
5847  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When Bounties are not worth the effort - Limit the numbers on: February 16, 2018, 01:35:58 PM
How about setting a fixed amount like PolicyPal or others, that simply say 50 per week for Juniors, maximum of 15 juniors. Other methods are not fair to the promoter and all I see is thing like "if you don´t like it don´t take it" or "you are not supposed to want to make money"....
 If I don´t like something, I try to change it. And why would I not want to make money when everyone else involved is going to make money? If you are so altruistic  let me PM you my ETH address. You can prove your generosity there.
5848  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When Bounties are not worth the effort - Limit the numbers on: February 16, 2018, 10:00:48 AM
The one who are implementing the ICOs would like it if there are more people who would participate in their campaign so I think it would be a disadvantage to them if they would limit it. It may be the prerogative of the bounty manager if he wants to limit the participants in the campaign because it is an additional job in his part if there are more participants. You have an option to participate in campaigns paid in bitcoin because they are limited but then you have to be fast to get a spot because within just minutes the slots may be immediately filled except for those managers who will choose those people who have quality post because it takes some time for the slots to be filled up.

It may come that indeed, a filter by merit that requires some quality in the posts to participate in the campaigns, apart from mere raking.

Its a free market. They name the price. Take it or leave it.

The problem is that the price is unclear.

En definitiva este proyecto tiene toda mi atención, creo que si destinaré al menos 100 dolares, porque es un valor aceptable y en el peor de los casos solo estaría perdiendo lo que corresponde a dos o tres salidas con mi novia.

Juas! Buena valoración del riesgo Smiley Yo también he invertido un poco de ether además de estar aquí con vosotros en el foro. Smiley
5851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Looks very ugly - Dencity Exit scam on: February 15, 2018, 02:37:00 PM
I was following this ICO as I did like the project and the idea. I did not invest as I saw a team of only two people, although the advisor and other parameters were fine.

I read about some scam accusations and I did some (very, very) basic research. Two linkedin messages to two of the advisers and two email to the official "partners" and it came out that no one had seen the team personally and one of the advisers stated that she had explicitly rejected participating but her name had been used anyway. No answer from the partners.

I am very sorry, because I would have liked this project to be real.

EDIT - Update

Just for those of you who want to learn how to do a minimun of research. The WHOIS information for this page is protected. No legit project has any good reason to do this.

If you want to give it a go, check WHOIS for another famous scam, symmetry.fund

The registrar name is private. Again, a red bright flag.
5852  Local / Minería de altcoins / Re: Ayuda, donde comprar? on: February 15, 2018, 10:31:34 AM
Hola buenas a todos, tengo planeada la compra de 40 tarjetas graficas pero no encuentro algun proveedor fiable si alguien conoce de algun lugar al que me pueda comunicar lo agradeceria mucho.

Comprar tarjetas graficas a dia de hoy no es como llegar a la tienda y pedirlas. Normalmente los proveedores te pondran en una lista de espera y...

El compi te ha dado una de las mas conocidas, puedes ponerte en lista de espera, pero no hacen reservas aunque digan que si, solo te avisan y normalmente podras comprar una o dos. Pero no es que sea mala tienda, es que es asi con todas. Yo hice un pedido de 6 a otra tienda y me mandaron solo 2 con 2 semanas de retraso y encima tuve que reclamar el resto del dinero, como puedes comprender 2 no me sirven para nada.

En fin...

¿Has considerado la forma "fácil" de hacer todo esto?

Este es hilo del proyecto Ice Rock Mining, incluye un video super-chulo de la cueva donde tienen los equipos de su primera ICO. La segunda está ya en marcha.

Este equipo tiene unas ventajas importante: electricidad a 3 cétimos, una cueva naturalmente fría, bastantes inversores,... en fin la leche. Se puede participar en la ICO desde 100$ y recibes beneficios mensuales de mineria pagados en Ether.

Aquí te dejo el enlace y puedes preguntar lo que quieras en el hilo. Si yo no lo se les pregunto a ellos, que me han encargado moderalo y eso. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2842720.msg29157647#msg29157647
5854  Economy / Economics / Nothing important has ever been built without "irrational exuberance" on: February 14, 2018, 04:29:57 PM
Do this sentences sound familiar to you:

“..much of the capital invested was lost, but also much of it was invested in a very high throughput backbone for the Internet, and lots of software that works, and databases and server structure. All that stuff has allowed what we have today, which has changed all our lives... that's what all this speculative mania built”

'Nothing important has ever been built without irrational exuberance" - Fred Wilson (VC) quoting a friend
.

These two are excerpts of the “Dot Com” bubble. From from 1997 to 2001, an “irrational exuberance” on venture capital investment created what we know today as the Internet.

On March 10, 2000, the NASDAQ Composite peaked at 5,132.52, but fell 78% in the following 30 months.

Although their stock prices declined significantly, 48% of dot-com companies survived through 2004.[14] Many companies, even those who were categorized as the "small players", were adequate enough to endure the stock market drop of 2000–2002.[14] Retail investors who felt burned by the burst transitioned their investment portfolios to more cautious positions.

Business Memorabilia:

Broadcast.com - A streaming media website that was acquired by Yahoo! for $5.9 billion in stock, making Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner multi-billionaires. The site is now defunct.

GeoCities - Purchased by Yahoo! for $3.57 billion in January 1999[39] and was shut down in 2009
The Learning Company - Bought by Mattel in 1999 for $3.5 billion; sold for $27.3 million in 2000


Any comment? 

5857  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is Telegram the new measure of ICO success? on: February 13, 2018, 06:36:27 PM
Been seeing projects' Telegram groups blow up and I think that's an attribute of success. Personally, when I find a project, I do judge them by their social media presence. How active a telegram channel does say a lot with their demand.

With the rise of groups exceeding Telegram's 50k member cap...what do you guys think?

Article: https://news.bitcoin.com/telegram-followers-the-new-metric-for-cryptocurrency-success/

The problem is that once you use something to measure success it becomes and objective in itself and the ICO promoters start making airdrops and referrals, so you no longer know if it is real interest.

Interesante proyecto.
Algún forero a mirado esta ICO https://minerone.io/index.php?
Se agradece opiniones o comparativas.
Saludos y gracias

La mayor diferencia así a bote pronto es que no tienen nada en marcha, mientras que ICE Rock si (ver el video). El riesgo es muy alto.

Ya mirando un poco lo demás, el plan económico no parece muy sólido. No veo por ejemplo cuanto se destina a pagos al equipo. Por otra parte, el coste de la vida en Suecia es bastante más que en Kazjastán, e igualmente el coste de la electricidad.

La cantidad que quieren recaudar es exageradamente alta. ¿De verdad crees que si tienen 200 millones van a poder usarlos con eficiencia y buena gestión?

Nada que sea una "bandera roja" enorme, pero si más arriesgado que Ice Rock sin mejores perspectivas que lo compensen.


Gracias por tus consejos tienes toda la razón.
La verdad que son muchas las ofertas que salen y es dificil distinguir  el trigo de la plata.
Este proyecto si que parece interesante https://www.hydrominer.org/
Gran infraestructura y buenos criterios.
Mejoraría al proyecto Ice Rock?

Equipo: En el equipo veo un técnico experto en minería y mucha gente de finanzas, marketing y comunicación.

La calculadora de beneficios que tienen exige introducir parametros como price to earnings ratio (PER), lo que lleva a pensar que basan sus predicciones de retorno de la inversión en la revalorización del token, mientras que Ice Rock solo considera el puro retorno de la inversión a través de dividendos.

Así, sin meterme a hacer la investigación en plan fuerte, me parece que el proyecto tiene sentido. La ventaja que veo para Ice Rock es que no tienen gastos de refrigeración e incluso yendo directamente a las centrales hidroeléctricas el precio de la electricidad seria parecido.

Si tengo que poner dinero, me parece que el proyecto de Ice Rock requiere muchísima menos planificación, es muy "sencillo" de llevar a la practica y la localización y los acuerdos comerciales ya están cerrados. Mucho menos riesgo diria yo.

Desde el punto de vista técnico, las centrales hidroeléctricas no generan electricidad de forma continua, por lo que no entiendo como mantienen un operación continua de minado solo con energía hidráulica.
