5901  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: This is what i buy during the crash. on: February 05, 2018, 11:51:32 PM

Hi Guys and Girls!

This is what i buy during the crash:
NEO - at 80 dollars - climbing up slowly, just lovely, holding is rewarded in GAS (which is also expensive)
LISK at 17 dollars -  news coming up soon!

What do you buy?

Cheers!


Anyone into NEO should take a look at the Effect.ai, as they are basing their ICO on the NEO chain, and it is a project that could potentially compete with Amazon turk.

Whoa the FOMO is real guys. Polymath is being sold on etherdelta and they haven't even listed on exchanges  Huh

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polymath-network/

Did any of you guys buy some?

Have you checked the contract number before posting here and asking people? I would rather think that you have not tried to lure anyone onto a fake...

It was until marketers figured out that many people were using it. Now you can still take a look at the telegram groups for sure, but check if the member are paid to join as it happens many times now.
5904  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / NEO is performing better than average on: February 05, 2018, 11:31:24 PM
It would seem that NEO is performing better than average, given that most of the coins are diving into the Marianas Abyss, so this is a change to elaborate some theories on why. Go!

Blockfolio is a widely used app and it looks very reliable and user-friendly. But I prefer to keep track of my operations manually. Maybe because I'm a bit old school, but I really like to have my own spreadsheet to consult offline too...

I have not tried blockfolio. The reason is that it is know to use the data from the users to generate trading strategies and gather market data that is not anonymous.

5907  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Top reasons that leads to fail in trading on: February 03, 2018, 08:57:13 PM

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Diversity. Diversify your investments so if one falls, other investment may help you to recover.

I love this formula / proverb, all traders are sometimes greedy. so they forget the risk of trading without leaving capital to keep prices deeper.
Trading does look cruel to anyone who does not have a strategy

thank you for sharing, this post is very useful.

There is a famous quote, I believe the original author is not certain, but here´s and study that attributes the merit to Andrew Carnegie in the 19th century:

"The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here, there and everywhere. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” is all wrong. I tell you “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.” Look round you and take notice; men who do that do not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket."

That is, make sure that you don´t get into so many things that you can´t really follow them.

5908  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Is there interest for bitcoin gift cards? on: February 03, 2018, 08:50:27 PM
If I make a start up company for bitcoin gift cards, do you guys think there is enough interest for it?

I have a friend working on a nice design for the card, probably will include multiple designs to fit all customer's occasions (x-mas, birthday, daily gift, promo event, etc.), and I'm working on the technical part to make it require absolutely no trust between us (the company) and the buyers. It should be a nice way to give a gift to your family and friend, regardless if they're still getting into crypto, or already are working with it.

I do have some nice use cases that I can use for marketing later, but I'm a bit concerned about the start point.

Therefore, I'm asking you all guys, if there is such a thing (for BTC or whatever other crypto currency), would you guys be interested in buying/using it? and why?

Thanks in advance for you all.

I recently gifted some ether to my relatives in Christmas. I just printed a few paper wallets, transferred some ether and gave them. If you make a product with a nice design and more targeted to seasonal gifts I think you can succeed.

Now, be aware that security is a big issue here, so the process to produce these items must ensure that the private keys are not compromised at any moment. That can make the whole thing a bit more complex, but I encourage you to go ahead with the project!
5909  Economy / Marketplace / Re: A good web or App to keep track of my operations on: February 03, 2018, 08:45:36 PM
The best way to track your operations would be through the exchange itself.
Most of the exchanges have a really helpful platform to track your buys and sells, they provide lists and information about your activity.

If you want to analyze it on the go, I can suggest you to use Binance as an exchange, they have low fees, huge trading volumes, and I never had any problem with depositing or withdrawing any funds.
They offer most of the trading pairs and the most important, they have a trading application for android/ios which makes it much more easier to trade and analyze your activity on the go.


Sure, the problem is that I have accounts in more that 12 exchanges, hence I am asking for an app to track. Binance is one of them and I try to avoid it because the fees are mostly uber-high.
5910  Economy / Economics / Re: Model me this, taxman! (UK) on: February 03, 2018, 01:32:56 AM
So I've got 4 mining rigs.

- Rig one and two mine ETH for 35 hours and 23 minutes. Then ETN for 3 days. Then Cryptonight on Nicehash (straight to BTC) for a week... and then ETN ultil the end of the month. I exchange any altcoin mining proceeds to BTC at various arbitrary days.
- Rig three mines ETN for 30 days in a row. I exchange the proceeds against BTC.
- Rig four mines all sorts of coins & algos. Some autoexchange to BTC, some for a couple of days to their own wallet. I exchange any alcoin balance against BTC at the end of the month.

3 days into the next month I exchange 72% of the earned BTC against GBP.


1) What do I declare to the taxman?



Let's add more complexity:

The BTC proceeds I did not cash out I exchange for ETH and invest into a token ICO. 2 months later, I get an allocation of 10'000 tokens. The price of said coin goes up by 200%. I do not sell anything.

2) What to I declare to the taxman?
3) I decide to sell the proceeds of the ICO against BTC. What do I declare to the taxman?
4) I decide to cash out a round amount of BTC (some from ICO proceeds, mixed up with all sorts of mining proceeds). What do I declare to the taxman?

I'm like everyone, I don't like to pay taxes. But I don't want any problems with the HMRC. The problem is that I do not have a single clue about what I should declare, and how I am supposed to deal with the scenarios above (which are all real-life scenarios). The HMRC guidelines are - let's face it - useless.

Discuss.

Mining has been declared a non-economic activity in the UK. If you can prove you have income just from mining - for the moment -you are OK.

Regarding the trading part, you do generate benefits once you sell as a previous post points out.



You do not pay taxes on income earned from mining? Do you have any information regarding this? Is there any consideration of a transition from mining to investing. What I mean by that is, if you mined 1 btc at £100 but then held it until it was £1k, would you be taxable on the £900 difference?



Not being an economic activity means that is not subject to VAT apparently. Just a link, but there are many https://www.rsmuk.com/blog/bitcoin-gains-dont-forget-that-the-taxman-will-want-his-share

However, it is subject to capital gains and being an individual means that you cannot discount the costs of the operation I believe, so you are compliant by not declaring, but if you sell... it is capital gains for the 100% as I understand it.

Hola,

Deseo invertir buena cantidad en Cloud Mining, estoy buscando alguien con conocimientos que pueda asesorarme y ayudarme a recuperar la inversión a corto plazo, una vez recuperada la inversión lo ayudaré con dinero para que también crezca.

Es una ayuda mutua, conocimiento por dinero. Valoraré más a quienes tienen mayor actividad en el foro.


Saludos




Hola, yo estoy moderando el hilo del proyecto Ice Rock Mining. La ICO va a salir pronto y creo que es legítima (espero, porque sino lo mismo no cobro  Roll Eyes ).

Pero a lo que vamos, esto va de un grupo de tios rusos, muy bregados en el tema de minar, que se han buscado unas condiciones que ya quisiera cualquiera: 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. Investiga por tu cuenta pq yo creo que es de verdad, pero nunca se sabe. Lo bueno es que si lo es es realmente super-rentable.

Aquí te dejo el enlace y puedes preguntar lo que quieras en el hilo. Si yo no lo se les pregunto a ellos. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2842720.msg29157647#msg29157647



5912  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Effect of cryptocurrency dip on participating in an ICO on: February 02, 2018, 11:37:38 AM
Since cryptocurrency values are currently decreasing rapidly, participating in ICOs has effectively become steeper potentially.

I have seen ICOs announce their token price and market caps either as:
-   A fixed ratio to dollar (to be converted to ETH on ICO sale date).
-   A fixed ratio to ETH (or other cryptocurrencies).

Some ICOs react and revise the price/caps before going live (for example, WePower did it recently https://medium.com/wepower/updated-wpr-token-pricing-9c219b571ad), but not all do.

How do ICOs adjust to these cryptocurrency vast swifts in your experience ?

They have different styles of adjusting. It is very dependent on how they have set the target and what do they accept as contribution. Normally, if they set the target in ETH there will be no adjustment in ETH and there will be adjustment in Bitcoin and cash. If the target is in USD they tend to fix the price of ETH and BTC at the beginning of the sale. The best way is to use a weighted average of at least the last 5 days and set the target in USD, because at the end of the day, they have to pay "real world" expenses.
5913  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH Gas fee just reduced to 1 GAS? on: February 02, 2018, 11:27:02 AM
@puremage111. Maybe users and developers are slowly reducing using it because it appears to have the same problems as bitcoin hehehe. Speaking for myself, I know the high fees and slow confirms have made me stopped gambling with bitcoin.

How are the cryptokitties activity? I reckon it was the kitties that caused all Ethereum's high fee problems.

Actually the worst offenders are EtherDelta and the occasional oversubscribed ICO that can paralise the network for a few hours, even a few days. Some exchanges like IDEX use a much more sensible approach, by decentralising the transfers and centralising the orderbook matching.
5914  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is Telegram the new measure of ICO success? on: February 01, 2018, 03:28:20 PM
My only question is: why Telegram? Why did it become the de facto main platform for ICOs? Why not discord for example?

It is obvious, telegram asks for a unique telephone number, so the number of fake users is limited. Yes, you can probably have 2 numbers, but you can't create them out of the air, so most users are real, as opposed to facebook twitter and other media.

Bueno amigos:

He hecho mi primera facturación de esta manera y bajo el procedimiento que puse en la Guía Bitcoin. Han sido 200 euros al cambio. Una buena experiencia sin duda. El cliente satisfecho porque pagó menos, y yo porque tengo una cosa menos que declarar.


Supongo que si son 200 l'euros pasara desapercibido, pero si fueran cantidades algo mas serias te podria cazar el montoro porque tienes unos ingresos cuyo origen no puedes explicar.

Coincido en q lo legal y lo moral hace mucho que dejaron de ser lo mismo en Espana.
5917  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WARNING Why Arcblock <ABT> is potentially a scam ::) ::) on: February 01, 2018, 11:40:20 AM
Arcblock is a popular ICO project, and its telegram group has a large number of people.
But Arcblock also has a certain problem, your post is a good post.
I just found Arcblock at Bitcointalk forum and there's a lot of Newbie posts saying that they want to invest in Arcblock, and I think these posts are just Arcblock's advertising

Most likely they are. ICO launchers have figured out by now that having a large telegram group is something that looks good for investors, as they assume it means that the demand will exceed the supply. They are currently following different strategies, being the most common spaming the forum all over and Airdropping in exchange for joining the telegram channel.

So... if you are an investor, wise up and learn to tell the difference between true growth and crappy marketing.

1) Arcblock claims to have partnerships with big companies like IBM and SAP - meanwhile there is no evidence of this anywhere to be found; the community admins on their telegram refuse to answer the question that is continuously asked of them: 'Arcblock claims to have partnership with IBM and SAP but there is no reference to these partnerships or any other on the net, please clarify.'
2) Arcblock has no code on Github
3) Lack of technical development roadmanp
4) Whitepaper keeps telling you to refer to something else which is non-existent
5) how will they prevent SIBIL attacks if the devs pay the “gas fee”?
6) No mention of a lockup period for their coins.

A Partnership does not mean an Strategic Partnership.


2) Arcblock has no code on Github
It is not an open source project. See the FAQ: "Is ArcBlock an open source platform? ArcBlock is NOT an open source platform"


3) Lack of technical development roadmanp
There is, here https://www.arcblock.io/. Just scroll the web page!


4) Whitepaper keeps telling you to refer to something else which is non-existent
And you are referring to "something else" so there is no way of proving nor disproving the argument.


5) how will they prevent SIBIL attacks if the devs pay the “gas fee”?
By using the gas fee. Is not a public blockchain.

6) No mention of a lockup period for their coins.
CEO recently clarified that they are vested for 2 years.

Now... please, before FUDing take at least the time to scroll a page and understand the project.

5920  Local / Español (Spanish) / Re: DoubleClick de Google con malware para minar on: February 01, 2018, 12:24:29 AM
DoubleClick de Google, los clásicos anuncios de adsense están siendo objeto de Malware para distribuir minería de criptomoneda de forma encubierta, de momento los afectados están geolocalizados en Europa y Asia. TrendMicro ha publicado a través de su departamento de seguridad e inteligencia que el programa realizado con el sistema de programación JavaScript conocido como CoinHive, se instala en la máquina afectada y trabaja en segundo plano, sin dar pista evidentes de que está allí, al menos visualmente, es cuando nuestro ordenador empieza a ser más lento de lo normal cuando nos damos cuenta de que algo pasa, y es sencillo, ese programa malware está haciendo trabajar a nuestra máquina para minar criptomoneda, llegando a consumir evidentes recursos de la misma, a no ser, que seamos de los que dejamos el pc encendido aunque no estemos trabajando en él.

El malware incorpora dos scripts distintos para minar, además de ser capaz al mismo tiempo de mostrar la publicidad real, lo que dificulta aún más detectar al principio algún mal funcionamiento del sistema.

Esto ya lo habíamos visto antes, infectando a grandes empresas, pero es ahora cuando se detecta que cualquier pc de usuario puede ser infectado y servir de minero.

A ver, lo primero echo de menos fuentes y links. Lo segundo, un minador javascript no llega ni para cubrir los costes y si es un programa para descargar... pues no es nada nuevo.

Creo que este post require algunas aclaraciones. Ah, por cierto Coin Hive es detectado por casi cualquier antivirus o protección.
