Isn't this basically the same as the paid ico shills? So technically all who have replied here potentially risk getting tagged
Yeah according to rules it's not allowed to pay others to post



Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

Edit:OP, you better remove this thread before you ruin your account and other's account.

Do you want to sell/buy goods or services? Use BitDiscuss Marketplace!


BitDiscuss - Cryptohead's community
In this Discord server, we discuss everything about cryptocurrency and the ways of making money out of it.
You can find every section about cryptos here - from mining to ICOs, from trading to airdrops.
Also you can trade goods and services in our marketplace!

+We give away 300DGB every week to our members!


Join here: https://discord.gg/upFQsN3
Seems interesting.I joined the discord group.But just one question,why would I trade goods and services in your marketplace while I can do it on forums where it's more safe considering the trust system and other ways to assure the safety of both buyers and sellers?I think you have to implement a feature like this if you want to bring more members.
Regards

Hey are there any cryptocurrency tradingbots for coinexchange.io? Need one that preforms pingpong orders or so called marketmaker bot.
Hi,
As far as I know,the only good trading bots I know is gunbot and CAT bot but they I don't think they support that exchange.If you really insist on having a bot for that specific exchange and you are ready to pay,you can ask the developers to integrate an API for it although it will cost you a good chunk of money as it will be done especially for you.
Good luck
604  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Can Nano go back to 32$ when Bitcoin price go up? on: June 10, 2018, 05:42:38 PM
Hi,
Nano has known a big skyrocket during January 2018 (33$) while it was only worth few cents months back.Now it's down like every coin (3.35$) because of multiple factors like Bitgrail theft ( 12 million nano)
Do you think it will recover up during the next uptrend?
605  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Is Electrum for Android really safe? on: June 10, 2018, 05:15:38 PM
TLDR: It's safe if you know how to secure your device (don't download random apks, don't give root permission to apps, don't let anyone get physical access to your device.

Quote
I honestly think that it doesn't matter if you want to hold your coins on your phone or computer. Both are secure enough if you know how to secure your device.

It's actually pretty simple to have standard security for your devices.

PC = Use anti-virus, don't download everything from the internet. Better if you just hold your coins in an offline cold-storage wallet.
Android = Don't root your phone. If you do, don't download random apks from the internet and don't give them root permission.

If you want to hold multiple coins other than Bitcoin, use Exodus for PC or Coinomi for Android.
x-post from an older post of mine.

I also think that using an antivirus on your phone is useless.
Why an anti-virus on phones is useless? Even without root you are still exposed to risks like malicious ads,infected apks and keyloggers (not necessarily downloaded on the internet)



Edit:I also noticed that passwords on Electrum for Android is just a "pin" and not really a password where you can use caracters and symbols.That's also a downside in my opinion.
606  Bitcoin / Electrum / Is Electrum for Android really safe? on: June 10, 2018, 04:59:23 PM
Hello,
My question is pretty much how safe is Electrum for Android? We all know that Android is vulnerable to viruses especially that 90% of users don't use any anti-virus on their phones.At least when using Electrum on windows,the majority of users use an anti-virus ( or Windows defender by default) so they are less vulnerable to hacks than phone users.
What do you think?

608  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can we reach Market Capitalisation of $20 Trillion ? on: June 10, 2018, 02:59:28 AM
According to Billionaire Mike novogratz, not only would Bitcoin recover from its present downward trend but he is forecasting a 20 fold increase in cryptocurrency market capitalisation. Figures shows that the highest market capitalisation ever witnessed was $900B, it would therefore take nearly a 20 times increase to attain the forecasted $20 trillion.

In my opinion, I think it's possible considering the fact that we only have about 7 to 11 crypto users presently and adoption rate is still minimal. With mainstream adoption, then $20 should be possible. This is just my opinion, please feel free to share yours?

Can we reach a $20 trillion market cap by 2028 ?
It's not impossible considering the mass adoption of Bitcoin like you said.
But technically,what scares me off is that during the December-January 2017 uptrend the market cap was  318-330 billion but we clearly saw that there was huge fees and alot of transactions stayed unconfirmed for a long time so the conclusion is we don't need only adoption,we also need upgrades the capacity of supportingg multiple users and we see this currently like Segwit,Lightning network...
609  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you think that the price is fully manipulated? on: June 10, 2018, 02:31:03 AM
I think that it was really strange that in January when BTC went down all big cryptocurrency exchanges closed registration for new members and they opened it only when the price was low. Then at spring when the downtrend was broken(7000$) there were many news that cryptocurrency now will go up! But whales just made big shorts at 10 000 $and all the news said that cryptocurrency won't go up for along time and market went down to current position.
Concerning exchanges closing registrations,that's normal because the exchange platform can't handle infinite members because hosting limited performance etc..They had to close the registrations to expand their capacity of members by upgrading their servers.Thus,it's not really a manipulation from exchanges.However,whales are kind of manipulating the market we've seen this many times now a whale sold his coins and a huge wave of sells followed him.

611  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto market is drowning from tokens. on: June 07, 2018, 11:48:54 PM
As we can see, there are lots of coins that are being offered in the market every single day. Does every single coins that are in the market really usable in our daily lives? According to Bitcoin.com, the enormous number of tokens existing in the market is currently bringing confusion to the investors. For example, they wanted to invest their money in Quarkchain, but bought the Quark instead. Which is a totally different coin. I know that it is probably the fault of the investors for not double checking the coin, but too much coins in the market also plays a big factor.

Are there any solutions about this problem that we, the users in this forum, can do?

Tokens are becoming a real problem especially ERC20 tokens they are easily made and nowadays companies just create tokens without any project behind or an inexistent project and make an airdrop/bounty for it so they bring more attention to it.Now it becomes hard to pick good tokens or ICOs especially for new investors which makes it bad if you just take a look at etherdelta or forkdelta you can see that 90% of the tokens are bad and worthless.
612  Economy / Speculation / Re: What are the actual reasons that Bitcoin prices may go up or down this year? on: June 07, 2018, 11:14:38 PM
There are lots of threads where people predict that Bitcoin will go up in price, or go down in price. Many of these simply claim that to be true without actually giving any reasons. Sometimes it's just based on the poster's feeling or unexplained belief.

What are the actual verifiable arguments based on verifiable evidence to predict the future price of Bitcoin?

I believe Bitcoin will go down this year,as Bitcoin lost investors trust after the big crash from ~20k$ to 7k-10k,alot of people lost money because of that crash and will not put their feet again on Bitcoin.Bitcoin has to build back investors trust that's why I'm saying that 2018 is a bad year for Bitcoin,maybe 2019 or 2020 will be a better year.
613  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Limits of POW on: June 07, 2018, 10:41:23 PM
Transaction throughput scalability has nothing to do with PoW.

How many transactions a blockchain is able to process depends on 1) the (file)size of each transaction and 2) the amount of decentralization you want to achieve.

As Bitcoin is trying to keep the network as decentralized as possible, the blocksize is kept rather limited as to keep the entry level for running a full node (ie. a node keeping a full copy of the blockchain) as low as possible. As an alternative to on-chain scaling, ie. increasing the blocksize limit, Bitcoin is currently heading towards adding additional protocol levels on top. This allows for scaling beyond the linear limitations of simply increasing the blocksize while keeping a high degree of decentralization. The solution that currently seems to be most viable is Lightning Network, which strives to move the bulk of smaller transactions off-chain using a network of payment channels managed by Bitcoin's smart contract capabilities. While not widely used yet, you can see it in action here: https://lnmainnet.gaben.win/

That being said, when Satoshi created Bitcoin there was nothing else to choose but PoW. PoW was what enabled cryptocurrencies in the first place, solving a problem that was previously believed to be unsolveable.

I see.That being said,I believe that other Consensus like POS doesn't have such limitations right? So why some coins still use PoW when there is better options? And is it possible to change Bitcoin's system? If yes who decides? I apology for advance for my ignorance.Thanks
614  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Limits of POW on: June 07, 2018, 09:54:54 PM
Hello,
Last year,precisely December-January 2017 when Bitcoin and all cryptocurrency were skyrocketing we clearly saw the limits of POW where there was huge amounts of non-confirmed transactions,fees were outrageous I saw some paying $30-$80 of fees,people who have their transactions not confirmed since 48 hours and in my opinion that what resulted a huge panic sell.We can clearly see that POW has limits so why Satoshi choosed it knowing that it will slow down Bitcoin's progress.
Thanks
615  Economy / Economics / Re: Why I am not sharing my crypto love? <3 on: June 06, 2018, 11:21:06 PM
I wanted to say that I have stopped sharing my crypto interest with close mates of mine.
Because they will became greedy and jealous for that money they could have too.
But the problem is that they are seeing a results of hard intense and long work! My tokens sometimes costed me like 3 months of work, (not the hardest, but anyway).
And the are saying then - teach me how to do that! Teach my now in half hour! So I would have my $1000 tomorrow!
And then they are trying to do something here for 5 days, nothing comes so fast and they give up,
also the relations are harmed...

Thanks for your attention folks! Nice days!
I feel you man. People doesn't consider the hard work you've done and want it to be easy especially with cryptocurrency hype being fed they don't understand that everything comes with hard working and there is no such free/easy money.
These kind of people won't understand it unless they get involved in cryptocurrency,they'll get it slowly as everyone did so I recommend you to instead of spoon feeding them,just refer them to bitcointalk so they can learn by on their own.
616  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance about to offer Fiat-Crypto Trading. on: June 06, 2018, 10:37:51 PM
Sounds really good to me unless they ask (like most fiat-cryptocurrency exchanges do) for identity verification and stuff liek that,it would be really unfortunate especially that Binance is a very good exchange in my eyes compared to others.Or it would be great to make it just an option to trade fiat-crypto and only those who want this option get their identity verified and others don't get affected.
617  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / What do you think of Nano/Raiblocks? on: June 06, 2018, 05:34:35 PM
Nana coin is known for fast and no fee transactions as it's using POS Consensus and is doing many projects for adoption.
In my opinion this coin has a huge potential since alot of people support it.
What do you think?
618  Economy / Economics / Re: Germany recognized the bitcoin on: June 06, 2018, 05:08:32 PM
The Ministry of Finance of Germany signed the Decree on recognition of bitcoin  legal tender.  The document specifies that purchases made for cryptocoins, are not taxed!What do you think about it?



That's a really good news,especially that German taxes are already high on other things (I think 60% for salaries?),it's a good move to cancel taxes for cryptocurrency so that they encourage investors to adopt this new technology.
Meh,I wish that more countries doact smart like Germany and support cryptocurrencies.

Edit:Can you give the source please?
619  Economy / Economics / Re: Which cryptocurrency should I invest in, in 2018? Why? on: June 06, 2018, 04:43:39 PM
I’m going to be accumulating the majority of the coins below over the course of 2018 Q1—I’m a big believer in a diversified portfolio.

Especially in crypto.

I split coins into 3 tiers. Coins in tiers 1 & 2 I will be continuously adding to my holdings throughout Q1.

I based these tiers on my investment strategy, I highly suggest creating a strategy before investing in anything.

You need to have a goal that you’re working towards, and a framework for how you want to reach that goal.

My goal is to increase my holdings of Tier 1 & 2 coins, by trading coins from tier 3 on a short-medium time frame (2–6 months).

I also margin trade Tier 1 & 2 coins and use profits to increase my overall $BTC position.

Don’t margin trade.

It’s bad.

Not margin trading is rule #8 in my “10 Crypto Commandments”.

Some of these coins I don’t believe in as long term investments.

Most of the time, the criteria I use to pick coins starts fundamentally with the team, roadmap, and community.

Once I’ve deemed a coin as “Fundamentally Strong”, I then go into the charts and apply Technical Analysis to determine if I can get a solid entry point.

Sometimes, I’ll see a coin I don’t think will last in the long run, but the chart is just too pretty to say no. I will denote these coins with an [X] by their name.

Cliche Disclaimer: none of this is financial advice, don’t even listen to me, I’m a random person on the internet — I could be full of sh*t and you wouldn’t know it.

Do your own research and only ever invest what you can afford to lose.

Tier 1

Bitcoin ($BTC)

I always hold at least a little BTC. Bitcoin is the market leader, and until that changes, I will always hedge against my Altcoin investments with Bitcoin. I typically have any where from 10–30% of my portfolio in Bitcoin depending on Bitcoin dominance at that time.

Bitcoin dominance refers to the percentage of the total cryptocurrency market share which is held by Bitcoin. You can check the live stat here.

The link also shows the market dominance of the other major coins on the market- spend some time getting to know the chart and notice how coins market caps correlate negatively or positively with each other.

Understanding the market cycles of crypto is pivotal to successful investing.

Tier 2

Neo ($NEO) & Ethereum ($ETH)


Image courtesy of CoinSutra

ETH and NEO are competitors. They solve the same problems, are both serious coins with large market caps, and I hold both as long term investments.

I’m not hedging against my bets by investing in competitors. It’s feasible to me that these two entities could co-exist in the future in a fashion similar to how Apple and Samsung coexist.
To be honest,I never saw a coin that exploded like Nano/Raiblocks.It's a good project supported by many people,give it a look you may be interested in investing some money on it.Just see the chart you will understand what I'm talking about.

PS:This is just an advice,I'm not responsible fo your trades.
