DIW Token seems to have a good solid team behind it. I like the Secure Digital Vault feature.
Registered & joined Telegram channels.

Excellent project and one I am currently beta testing.

One question - how can I transfer the tokens in my Reward account to the Portal account or a MEW wallet?

Is this VIBE different from the Vibe Token (VIB)

https://blokt.com/icos/viberate-ico-review

Yes, it's a separate token.
66  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How's my portfolio? on: January 27, 2018, 04:41:04 PM
Add in some of the Top 10 coins, BTC and ETH, also maybe NEO or Monero.
67  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Advice for Newbies - Day trading VS Long Term - POLL on: January 27, 2018, 04:20:46 PM
You need an extra option - for both.  It is possible to combine the two, although I day trade with different coins to the ones I am holding long term.

Perhaps try Envion? They do mobile mining hardware rigs. They are based in Europe but might be useful.

It's never too late and try not to be so hard on yourself.

I'll tell you a little story.  Back in 2008 I had a respectable, well-paying job. Then the financial crisis happened. I was lucky because I had a large amount of money at the time. Myself and my ex-partner relocated to live next to the beach. Very nice, sun, blue skies, etc. But at the height of the crisis with no job or other income in sight. In 2009 when Bitcoin was starting, I was sat on the beach with a shiny new Macbook wondering how I was going to make this life economically viable.  At the time, I was waking up to all sorts of news stories about how the Euro could disappear inside of a week, etc. I honestly did not know where to put the remaining money. I heard about Bitcoin and even downloaded a few mining programs.  I gave it up as a bad idea and ignored it.

Fast-forward a few years, the money ran out and I was struggling, moving from one employment-starved location to another.  The bank decided to hang onto my last 2k because it was in a time-released fund. They would have preferred I died starving on the street rather than release it. I eventually got it and continued struggling for a few more years.

Then last year, Bitcoin caught my attention again, shortly after it had gone over $1000.  I said to a friend of mind (who is permanently broke) why not invest a little in Bitcoin each week.  He said yes, good idea, then never did anything.  He is still broke today.  I started last June.  At the time, other people were saying "Isn't it a bit late?", etc., but I did not listen to them - I had discovered alt-coins.  I spoke to another friend just after Bitcoin went over 2k - he had bought 10 when they were $5, then proceeded to lock himself out of his wallet.  He has done nothing since with it and was another naysayer, even though he is living on a student loan.  I had another discussion with a 3rd friend the day Bitcoin hit 6k, which went along the lines of "why didn't I invest earlier?" and "alt coins is gambling".  She also had tried mining programs but given up on them.  We agreed to meet to talk further about it, but so far, we haven't.

I made myself a target for the last week of 2017, which would have been very respectable had I saved in fiat. I ended up over 500% of my target, in fact, I made 150% of my target on one coin alone. I am not a financial person, I have always found it difficult to save money in a bank.  Crypto seems to work with me.  Diversity is key - I split my funds between the coins I am collecting/hodling, day trading and mining.

I came to the conclusion that 99% of people in this space are full of BS or have their own agenda. I ignore the pump & dump groups and the Twitter shills, etc. I have managed to find a couple of people who do give good advice. But at the end of the day, do your own research & invest in the coins/companies that you believe in.  Also, ignore the friends that just want to make a quick buck, I'm finding it better to say nothing to anyone at the moment.  I've already had very strange looks from a so-called friend who spends his money on beer & cigarettes after I told him I'd made some good money off one ICO and another has already told me he "wants my bitcoins when I die"(!).  So maybe the less other people know, the better... There's also no point "crying over spilt milk" - what's done is done and we can't change the past. But there is always the future and there are plenty of opportunities.

As for the psychological issues, I have some of those too, so I guess that is more or less normal.  I'm actually in the middle of a Masters and completely changed my thesis to be blockchain-related at the last minute simply because I am not thinking about anything else.  I see this as a positive - I have finally woken up and become "money-minded" - and trust me, I spent enough years wasting money as well.  I guess as your portfolio increases, those issues will decrease.  Give it time.

Just my 2c worth, hope it was useful.

bought 5 ETH on etherdelta, looks like a great project, when are you going to get official listing on etherdelta?

thanks

So how did  buy 5 ETH in etherdelta? I do not understand your position correctly, because you " when it will be listed on etherdelta "

It isn't listed on EtherDelta.

This is either a joke or a poor attempt at scamming.
74  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC ATMs on: October 19, 2017, 05:47:05 PM
This seems like an extremely unsafe thing to do, considering I don't even trust most ATM's that only have 1 currency, I don't feel like giving my private key to an ATM in order to get cash out..

Very good point. Also consider the type of devices fitted to standard ATM's in order to steal banking details, everything from "Lebanese loops" to full fake fronts.

Possibly a work-around would be to use a separate bitcoin address that only has a specific amount in it.
75  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you see trading as fun and games? on: October 19, 2017, 05:35:04 PM
I don't see it as a game but I do enjoy it, so in that sense it could be called fun.  However, as a lot of other people have said, when money is involved, it also requires a level of seriousness.

I have two different sides when it comes to crypto.  The first is the hoarder.  I decide on a coin, based on my own research and usually because I like the tech and/or the team behind it.  With these, I will keep them off exchanges and let them sit there in wallets. These are long-term investments and I am not bothered by day-to-day price fluctuations.

The second side is the day-trader and I do enjoy this part.  However, I never trade with the coins I am collecting. If I do not care about the coin, then it is purely about money, so it is easier for me to buy & sell these. This is just what works for me, maybe other people are different.  I am reasonably successful with trading although there is always room for improvement and I need to learn more about TA, at the moment I understand basic TA.  The fun part definitely comes from selling at a nice profit, especially if a sell order goes through while I am asleep...  Wink  Although, as with everything in life, you win some, you lose some.  Losses can make me angry sometimes, even really small ones, but I am learning to deal with this & just wait it out. What goes up must come down (and vice versa).

Lastly, I find crypto an excellent (and fun) way to save. I find it very difficult to save fiat money, it always gets spent somehow. But once I put money into crypto, it stays in crypto.  Maybe the coin changes but the money stays put.  I've only been actively trading since last June and already have more invested in crypto than I managed to save in fiat in the last 5 years - so I guess that speaks for itself...
76  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bter Scam Exchange? on: October 18, 2017, 12:03:52 PM
It seems to be still operational and is accepting new user registrations. Something that I thought was a bit strange for a Chinese exchange at the moment?

Their price ticker seems way off, e.g. " ETC : $64.00↓,  QTUM : $41.50" and doesn't match up if you go into the trade page.

In any case, I think I'll stick to more trusted exchanges.

Rebrand it to Mekkacoin.

Ouch, lol. Touché  Grin Grin
78  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Need Advise on buying bitcoins on: September 27, 2017, 08:55:57 PM
If you have enough ID for a bank account and debit card, then you have enough ID to open an account on one of the exchanges. I do not see what your problem is with that.  Which ones did you try already and what ID did you give them?
79  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: "Sell your account"? Why? on: September 27, 2017, 08:42:21 PM
Btw guys, how to handle the situation if you got a PM offering to sell you an account? Should this be given to the admins of this board? Because if the seller doesnt tell you the name of the account he wants to sell to you, then how can it ever be proven?

I would, yes. Because if he's selling one, most likely he's selling others. So better that the admins are aware of this.

Yes guys i know Bitcoin has bright future but i'm not sure about attitutes of goverments to it so
If u launch a website for Crypto Currency exchanges which country to create your company, and which country for company bank acounts safety.
which country gives most changes to make profit buy low or 0 tax, safe and secure.


Take a look at Tallinn in Estonia.
The government seem favourable to cryptocurrencies and start-ups. You can also become a "digital citizen" if you are planning to start a company there.  See here for details : https://e-resident.gov.ee/
