62  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Adoption of crypto in retirement savings plans growing on: November 18, 2019, 06:01:29 PM


Major American crypto exchange Coinbase, asset custodian Kingdom Trust and
alternative assets investment firm Regal Assets have begun offering cryptocurrency-based
individual retirement and 401(K) accounts in the United States.


This new offering will give investors access to more than 30 digital currencies in the industry
directly through Coinbase, with insurance protection provided by British insurance firm Lloyd’s of London.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/coinbase-kingdom-trust-regal-assets-jointly-offer-crypto-ira-and-401k-accounts


I've gone through the article on cointelegraph and it's very impressive, individual retirement account (IRA)  is the way forward for retirement savings plans. It's good to know that over 30 digital currencies will be made available and Bitcoin, and other major cryptos are already embedded. Looking forward to seeing more of such innovation.

The foresight and pragmatism of Coinbase is laudable. The are not just making themselves a multi billion dollar company but creating also a billion dollar employee through the crypto retirement saving plans. I know people may have doubts about the gesture due to the volatility of cryptocurrency but it should be thought of as an investment option with a likely positive outcome due to the recent boom of cryptocurrency as well as its predicted future which looks bright on all sides

We can exchange coins between different blockchains since day one of cryptocurrencies pal, dex, cex, swaps etc are all already available, even old wallets are now implementing changelly and shapeshift in their wallets now, you can change coins in wallets without moving them out

Rightly put. As observed in imtoken, eidoo, Enjin and a host of others. I hope the Ops shill don't just have the swap utility as its only usecase. If it is, then it should be fast, very secured and very cheap to survive the competition offered by other strong options
64  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Extra weeks added to bounty campaign on: November 18, 2019, 05:03:28 PM
To all bounty hunters on this wonderful forum i want to know if its advisable to continue with the bounty you have been promoting for 12weeks that got extra 8weeks added more, have you promote projects this long that ends up with good end results? Thank you
working for too long for the project is not a good idea
the main reason for them to extend the bounty is because the token is failed to reach the current goal
by getting more investor and extending the project will result in a lower value of the token


Its not just a good idea but a terrible idea, especially when pool is not increased. Once I encounter such, I rather quit and do more meaningful things with my time that working off my butt for some developer with in humane working conditions. To ice the cake, some add token locks to the condition
65  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty hunters do not need to wait for altcoin season on: November 18, 2019, 04:54:12 PM
Says who? harmony IEO happened on binance and bounty hunters still promote the project for the them, tokoin is another good one, not to talk of many goof successful bounties of 2019, if you are choosing bounties wrongly then you don't know how to do research
- sessia bounty is successful
- colletrix bounty is successful
- gowithmi is successful
from the list that you stated only Harmony is somewhat decent. LMAO
the rest are shit coins that has low trading volume. Its not even worth it for waiting months, could've made more by working part-time in real life. hahaha

I do not agree with you because so many other bounties paid this year. Namely Temtum, content protocol, carry protocol, Velic, zeux and so many others. Some projects still come good. It depends on where you are looking
66  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Saving for a House! on: November 18, 2019, 04:43:01 PM
Its a good idea though. But it would have been better if you divide the total funds in a ratio of say 8:2 so that you can save about 80% in stable coins while keeping de remaining 20% in a volatile coin, probably BTC so that your funds can appreciate small by the time you are withdrawing your funds

I would advice you to put it into bitcoin because of its foreseeable longterm profit but sincerely speaking the investment window of 6months which you gave is quite short. 6-8 months ago and bitcoin was trading under $4k. The market is too volatile to say the price of btc in the next 6months. You might have to wait a bit longer for gains
67  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FINALLY- we can now exchange coins between different blockchains on: November 11, 2019, 11:20:29 PM
I thought I was seeing a lot of shits flying around in your website. It took me a few seconds to realize that they're supposed to be jellies  Cheesy


We start with Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tron.
I only see Eth and Trx as options, there's no Bitcoin as you mentioned.
Can you also explain to us how your service is different than what Changelly is already offering?

I would like to ask also if we can connect wallet at the same time? Metamask for Eth and Tronlink for Trx for example.



I was about to mention changelly and even shape-shifting. Because thats kind of the services being offered by enjin or imToken2.0. So i dont think the OPs idea is unique perhaps its offered in a different way. I have seen some other swap projects like swapzilla springing up to offer same services too

69  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Huobi Global will freeze all US user accounts from November 13 on: November 11, 2019, 06:27:37 PM
Seems like Top cryptocurrency exchanges are making ways to create a separate market for USA customers different from what is obtainable at the international market (probably because of SEC) Binance, Upbit, Bittrex and now. Huobi. What does this spell for crypto market as a whole


https://huobiglobal.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000659122/
Another separate market but that must be the best idea to create a separate market that fits with SE regulation rather than use the old exchange site which focused to be used globally by various countries.
if you are creating a separate market like binance and it will be so easy to maintain the US customers caused by that separate exchange site has already made based on the SEC regulation.


If you are still using your base service to accept US customer and you are putting your base service like huobi global in a big risk when it still deals with US customer. This will give a huge impact caused by US customer can get in the market. This is the best way how to deal with the US market. There must be a separate service that fully complies with SEC regulation.


Yes, i dont think its entirely a bad idea to create an exchange tailored to best serve the US customers because of the regulations and laws directly affecting a US user because so far, what is applicable in China or other parts of the seems to be different for USA. So its fair

71  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Emerging Markets of Cryptocurrencies on: November 11, 2019, 06:10:12 PM
its kinda strange this coin is so worthless given its block reward and distribution structure, 5% of the current supply is like 30$ on market right now : /
it seems like your actually trying to write and stuff, i think the scene is just too saturated with too many alts right now
people that have technical bandwidth should just work together, everyone and their programming mother is making a coin lately Tongue


It is one of the demerits of decentralization. Its provides the leeway for every tom dick and harry to now launch a coin to feed their greed. This is why i call for regulation. To have more sanity in this space. Without it, i am afraid we cant do much to market crypto for better acceptance due to these incessant fraud
72  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you choose which altcoin will you buy? on: November 11, 2019, 05:49:54 PM
With more cryptocurrencies debuting on coinmarketcap daily, the task of sifting through for the best crypto to invest in becomes tougher day by day. This has made me go after short term coins more for quicker profit. A good team, working product, Tokenomics (little in circulation) and small market capitalization well below $5m
73  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Saving for a House! on: November 11, 2019, 05:18:30 PM
We are saving for a house down payment of 40K.  I don't want to leave it in the bank as there is a old judgement they can take any time so i want to store it in crypto as we grow it over the next 6 months.  Is a stable coin the best option?  Thoughts?

The keyword here is "saving" for a house, so i will suggest putting your money in usdt/usdc/pax, then store in your private offline wallet (ledger or trezor). Please do not store in any exchange buy if you must, coinbase is good. Moreso, if you choose to invest the money, then my safest bet is on bitcoin
74  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We are only rich on spreadsheets on: November 11, 2019, 05:12:47 PM
Bounty rewards are like $$ earned from airdrops, there is not much difference but if you are lucky enough you can promote projects that have good rewards like miracle tele and gowithmi

Affirmative! Bounty hunter should limit their greed and manage their expectations better. In most cases, developers can only give what they have. Irrespective of what is written on the spreadsheet. In most cases, i actually go after bounties with reasonable reward allocation and reputable team because money is involved
75  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is this a new process to reject more user from getting tokens? on: November 09, 2019, 09:23:48 PM
If you remember a project called Current.us, they held their bounty programme in January 2018, almost 2 years ago, they asked participants to get through KYC in September 2018, almost one year ago, and we still have no news about distribution.

You forgot to mention that for you to get your bounty rewards from current you have to perform kyc with coinlist while parting with some Ethereum worth 6usd. Its dreadful how all these things are schemed to favor developers without any rebuke.
76  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Litecoin dead? What's happening? on: November 04, 2019, 11:01:53 PM
I used to use Litecoin as payment in few portals, given it limited usability/functions other than payment mode, which still quite low in terms of adoption, it will be struggle to stands out in the future. But it still one of the more reputable crypto. I see it has a future with really strong loyal users and good devs. At least their dev looks decent and less scammy compared to 99% out there.
Litecoin is still the best 'testnet' and pushing out milestones alternative to Bitcoin.

It will indeed struggle. Its losing the spotlight gradually to Bch, Ethereum and sincerely speaking, apart from using litecoin as a mode of payment, I don't see any other use case it posses. And like you rightly said, litecoin adoption is slow. I have used some seo services online and I only see btc, eth and bch as payment options
77  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Extra weeks added to bounty campaign on: November 04, 2019, 10:52:51 PM
depend on the project is, if the project has reached good amount investment, you can consider to continue the bounty

if the project doosnt get good amount, there is no reason to stick on the bounty. you are better to find the another bounty

as far i followed bounty, bounty which added extra weeks often to fail

I can't agree any less. Most acts of extension has a fraudulent undertone and thus the project fails in the end. Like you said, if a project that extends bounty but yet to meet softcap, it's rather advisable to quit further work and seek your trade elsewhere before all efforts becomes waste
78  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which logo is best for BitcoinSOV (BSOV)? on: November 04, 2019, 09:45:15 PM
Number 1 looks like a 3d art work which looks bogus for my liking. Definitely not number 2, it is tasteless. Number 3 looks good, the triplet rhombus in a circle looks more like it. So I prefer no 3

Dogecoin is a real crypto currency, moreover, it is one of the oldest crypto that is live on the market. But to be honest, I do not believe that Dogecoin is perspective, because there is no value behind this coin at all.

I think it's such a humorous question. And for a moment I thought he might be joking but alas he probably confused on the subject matter. Doge is a community project. Its a cryptocurrency which is developed as a Meme coin featuring the Shiba Inu dog which is an Internet Meme sensation
