6101  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Time For Crypto Currency on: March 07, 2018, 09:53:39 PM
Are there any best time to trade cryptocurrency on any platform just like in Forex. If there is? What is the best time or day to trade.

Thanks in advance
Theres no particular time to trade in cryptoworld since its entirely different with forex and stocks which markets do have openings and closings. Unlike in crypto you can able to trade 24/7, 7/7 according into your interest and that's the good thing on this market. Platforms? Then there are lots just be sure on going to reputable or known ones than on trying out shady exchanges. Poloniex,bittrex is my suggestion towards this.
Don't mind up timeframes the thing you should be concerned on how to trade profitably.

Do you like airdrops? [Poll]


We found Do you like airdrops? thread interesting,
but it's hard to see the proportional distribution of opinions.
That is why we have prepared a poll sum it up and represent opinions in a simple way.







Its not a waste of time in my part since I do thoroughly seek out potential airdrops or projects that do give free tokens.Might not be accurate it do works for me most of the time.Its just really a matter or researching things up.Its not bad to try out or participating airdrops yet requirements or sign ups isn't really time consuming on each one of them.It does depend on you on how you would utilize your time.
6103  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Is it possible to use bitcoin like offline currency? on: March 06, 2018, 05:49:59 PM
There is a big difference. Offline currencies we can hold them in our hands physically, we can give it to people without having to make use of electronics or devices and electricity and the rest of them. They are also accepted in every business and in stores. But the way Bitcoin is, you can’t be able to use it as an offline currency, cause it’s totally different.
Its really totally different since its a digital currency and it does work as it should be and cant really be considered to be used on offline. How would you create such thing supplying out 21 Million physical bitcoin into almost 10B entire population of the world?Its really an impossible thing and beyond all adoption isnt still there and it wont really come to a point that no government would really oppose to this idea.
6104  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Is Coinbase a safe wallet ? on: March 06, 2018, 04:55:34 PM
But the fee is little bit high when compared to blockchain wallet.But it is not good to use coinbase as a wallet we may store little bit of bitcoin but for the people who are keeping coinbase as a wallet is in great danger on losing their funds to hackers.
In what way is Coinbase's fee higher than the one from blockchain? If you're referring to external withdrawals, Coinbase shouldn't be higher at all, and I actually doubt it is higher. Coinbase only charges a vanilla network fee.

I however agree that holding coins on Coinbase (or any other service that doesn't grant you access to your private keys) isn't the right thing to do, although it does offer a certain form of convenience.

I am not really worried about hackers when it comes to exchanges, but more so about insider theft, or governments raiding an exchange, and from there seize people's crypto assets, just like what happened with BTC-E.
In most cases i do believe that those were always an inside job and they are just really having an alibi that they are being hacked by someone.Truth or not then i dont still really believe on what they are trying to reason out.I dont have any trust to 3rd party wallets or any places which i dont really possess keys. The thing on using coinbase is the convenience that it gives.Its a good medium on buying or converting out your bitcoins thru local fiat but it wont really be ideal if you make it as a storage.
6105  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin were more than 100K, how much you would buy? on: March 06, 2018, 03:47:54 PM
If i knew that bitcoin costs more than 100k, i would buy three at least and take a pause for the cause. I would drop crypto business and wouldn't take care about it
This is too much to consider or somehow an impossible thing for reaching out that price,if it can do such thing then i cant imagine on the entire marketcap of bitcoin would really turns out to surpass local fiat currency.This would indicates that adoption of bitcoin coming to a point that it is majorly considered already on most parts of the world.If it do reach 100k/coin then even buying a quarter of it would really be a challenge for me already.
6106  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How to make your project successful? on: March 06, 2018, 03:03:29 PM
to make it success have a  strong determination  patience  all positive thoughts .build astrong team work search and build good communications to all members relationship to all members is also important.

Thank you for your comment, you are absolutely right: Communications and relationships in the team are very important
Communication and good relationship is one of the key to the make project successful including the budget, the scope of every team members that can allocate their skills and knowledge that will lead it to success.

People will recognize a project if its something worthy and useful and the investors will eventually look at it. But what with what I observed to the ICO's, one of the contribution to make it successful is the marketing / promotion.

You need a wide coverage of your advertisement to make people aware that your project is existing.
Marketing is really an important start up phase specially when its still on pre-sale or main crowdsale period because after that marketing wont really be already the major thing which i do believe development and recent updates now and then for projects development is important.If the team can sustain such qualities they can really eventually hook up possible even more investors as the days goes by since they do see that dev team is way too active which does really signifies that project do really have plans for long term.
6107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: How do one measure the success rate of a bounty program? on: March 05, 2018, 10:59:31 PM
How does one measure the success rate of a bounty campaign?

For myself, I singled out several factors
1) The size of the community supporting this project (Twitter, Facebook, Medium etc)
2) the project team
3) whitepaper project
4) bounty managers
5) amount of rewards
6) terms and conditions of a bounty campaign

Thanks to everyone for the insight.
 I noticed everyone here talked about having a great team on the project,
Does that imply if the project team is anonymous for security reasons, they won't get any support nor bounty success?

People such as Vitalik Buterin and Charlie Lee, with their example made it clear that if there is a worthy project behind you, to hide your face and intent, there is no need.

You have a point there but I don't agree with you 100%. Not everyone like it being in the public domain, sometimes for security reasons and so on. Intent are never hidden in genuine projects but some dev prefers to live a private life and that doesn't imply their projects is unworthy. There are still some project with dev faces that turned out to be scam. What do you think Satoshi would be doing now if he/they were known? Maybe some government would have forced him/them to centralized blockchain or something else. Satoshi's intent was never hidden but his face.
Completely agree and you do deserve a merit for such reply which in most cases its not really a guaranteed indication of developers/creators transparency when it comes to their own creation/project.If the intent was somehow unique among others then this is one of the indications i do seek out and i can measure success rate but eventually its not a sure stuff that it would succeed depending on how people would react and sees thru the potential of such project.
6108  Economy / Securities / Re: First time investment on: March 05, 2018, 10:37:24 PM
I just opened my eyes to Bitcoin mining, I save up 80$ every month and was thinking maybe investing them in bitcoins wouldn't be that bad an idea? Whats your thoughts on this, what should a first timer know?

it's good if you can save up $80 every month and you can use it for investing in bitcoin and don't use it for anything except just hold the bitcoin in your wallet. and if you want to try bitcoin mining, then you need more money to buy some hardware to start but it will be hard for you to start because every hardware now is too expensive. my suggestion is you need to find out what is the best for you and if you think bitcoin will work for you then you can go with bitcoin only.
If you can only save up $80 per month then i do presume that you wont really have the capability on buying out ASIC hardwares which same as you said those are very expensive machines that can mine bitcoin but having this minimal step on saving up on bitcoin instead thru smaller amounts isnt really a bad idea at all.Accumulate as much as you can then better find another ways on maximizing potential profit by doing trading.Allocate a small percentage through it.
6109  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Private key is not safe on: March 04, 2018, 10:14:57 PM
I'm hacked victim,I used my etherwallet to received my assets..but why hacker know my pivate key? Hacker is sent ethereum into my wallet and used as a gas to get all my coins..how it all happened  guys.?
For your private keys to be safe is not the work of myetherwallet or any other wallets provider, it is your duty to keep your wallet private keys safe. I saw a guy that fill a bounty Google Doc form with his private key and I was surprised why instead of putting public keys he put his private keys and if I am a bad person I will move his tokens and ethereum in his wallet.
Such mistakes are common and i have experienced on seeing those guys who mistakenly put up their private keys instead of their wallet address which would result into hacking and not all people are kind enough not to access those wallet yet keys are already been exposed.They think most of the time on accessing it and stole those tokens inside of it without minding about their conscience as long they can get easy money if they are lucky they would hit up a very big balance but basing on my experience most of them are just new wallet being created by newbies which do mistakenly put up their keys on ss.

This merit system is hopeless. They only made upper level profil's value much higher for buyers. I am not a buyer but in here every legendary person has a lot of sub accounts and triying to sell them. 
This would be hopeless for those people who do farm account because they cant able to make a living already on selling out accounts.This is the best solution and for those shitposters and farmers are the ones who do mainly complain into this new merit system since they can able to make the things which they have done before on making easy money with just selling accounts.There days of making easy money is over.
6111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Worst bounty manager? on: March 04, 2018, 09:17:37 PM
Who is the worst bounty manager?

Many ICO projects running their bounty program in many cases the ICO team don't pay attention who they hire and they ended up hiring the worst!! there are many nasty "managers" in here.  Who is the worst so far that you really hate because of his/her lack of integrity and professionalism?
So far i do have different experiences with bounty managers but i do end up mostly on some reputable bounty managers.Talking about their professionalism and campaign handling would be entirely different to each other but somehow they do able to make their part or role.I didnt experience on being handled by newbie bounty manager. I have been under by sylon,atriz,deadley,olcaytu,blockeye when it comes to bounty camps which i dont really join up to those new managers that do handle campaign.
6112  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: ICOs asking for passport...is it safe? on: March 04, 2018, 08:43:28 PM
yes,it is safe,it is neccesary for ico,they can be know custumor,and if you are citizen of some country then ban,you can ppl ico of them
Until the ICO is regulated and allows investors to be fully protected against possible fraud by the ICO team, until then, providing such companies with their identity and copies of passports will pose a significant danger to their owners. If the state requires such information, it must also take steps to ensure that such information does not fall into criminal hands. While this does not happen, and hence there is a potential opportunity to use such information in illegal transactions and even serious crimes.
But the question is not all ICO/companies/teams are not regulated which means it doesnt really assure into those investors who do send those documents.So this means decision will depend if they will risk or not to give those info.If the team is regulated then it is good but not still safe or we can say 100% that those info wont leak even it is already a regulated ICO informations wont really ever be safe once being submitted.
6113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The biggest problem of altcoins on: March 04, 2018, 07:50:33 PM
Right. altcoin is always dangerous because it can be scam at any time. a coin is not practical, it is easy to scam

If invested or bought an unknown coin then chances are very high that it would be dumped quickly or get scammed as those are money making tricks by the developer of the coin. So always do not invest a lot of money on such coin and do your study thoroughly so that you can reach on some decision and pick the right coin for purchase.


Bitconnect is the perfect example for this. They have own wallet and exchange platform but they cheated many people as it got reported on this forum multiple times.
We need to check the project potential level and sell the coin if that reaches to expected value level.
Cheap altcoins also bump in the marker later but need to learn their white paper to understand whether is the future focus on their toad map.
Right man, bitconnect was a coin for newbies with strong marketing. I don't think that experience crypto users have fallen into this trap
Sad to say but there were lots of people being victimized with that scheme which turns out even experienced ones been falled out to this ponzi scheme.These kind of situations cant really be avoided since scams do really exist into this cryptocurrency world.Prices of alts do majorly affected when it comes to bitcoin prices movement but not all the time since some do have different movement even how bearish the market.
6114  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Hacking is the Big Problem on: March 03, 2018, 09:18:14 PM
I think a hacker can destroy one's wallet. It is not good for us. I hate the hacking system. It is not good way to earn huge amount of money. For me, despite the security and protection, I don't seem to like it. I do prefer offline wallet.
Hacking is no doubt one of the biggest threat for all of us and that we all need to make collective efforts in order to stay away from such kind of people. Hackers have lot of information and knowledge using which they can quite comfortably attack and can get all our details. We need to be very well aware of them and we need to keep on checking whether you are safe or not. Stay aware of what all is going on in your surroundings too.
In my opinion, hacking is the biggest problem or threat only for those persons who failed to take enough of the precautionary measures which can keep their computers as well as their own selves safe from those people who always keep on trying different sort of schemes in order to get access over your account and to gain your money. If you will not give them a chance, they will never be able to take away your money.
In short its people negligence on how they should protect or secure important informations towards into their possession but there are instances no matter how we do try to avoid there are still flaws that we might experience (technical aspects) which we cant really do anything about it once it being compromised but chances related towards into this kind of situation is somehow lesser compared into people negligence.
We should really be responsible ton securing things up.
6115  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: A legal solution for bitcoin. (Max 5 computers per person to mine bitcoins) on: March 03, 2018, 08:33:36 PM
English translation (google-translate assisted Smiley):

My fear is that bitcoin will cause global warming and rising electricity costs.

A possible solution for bitcoin is to introduce a law that states that a person can only mine bitcoins with only one or a maximum of 5 computers.

Such a law could then be used to tackle / close large bitcoin mining farms and to promote even the distribution of bitcoin and other crypto currencies / currencies.

An "if you can not beat them then join them approach" Smiley but in the spirit as bitcoin was meant ... a bit for everyone.

I think that's a nice solution.
  Skybuck.

Do you think it is possible to watch everyone in the world that how many computers they are using?

I don't think bitcoin mining is the major rason for the global warming there are other things cause more worse than bitcoin mining for example aircon produces CFC which is the main reason for oxone depletion and global warming so can we say that one house must have only one aircon. Huh

Bitcoin mining can be power-hungry but this is not the only industry that is...there are so many others useless business producing money while directly destroying the environment. The thing is that since Bitcoin is new it became the focus of some though there are many others out there contributing to the pollution and directly or indirectly the change of our weather. Still, I know that there are now studies and researches made to come up with mining equipment that requires much less power...we hope this can be coming to the market soon.


This is just really a selfish thinking on having these kind of restrictions or imposing such limitation of miners to each individual.We do all know that not all people do have that capability on producing their own miners then whos the one would really pushing up transactions when theres a lot and theres only a few miners existing? Its normal for those people or company that do have the capability on having it more than we do expect and just let it be and theres nothing to oppose of. I don't know why they do see this mining operation does really contribute global problems which same as you said there are even more worst things that produce even higher effects.
6116  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How to become a bounty campaign manager? on: March 03, 2018, 07:49:36 PM
Just the position itself means a big responsibility so before getting yourself to become a bounty manager you need to be ready in all aspects. I am not sure how those reputable campaign managers started here in the forum but probably they've gained a lot of trust from many and knows the ins and out of the blockchain to be able to become a campaign manager.


It is indeed a big responsibility since you are handling lots of people and it wont really be an easy job.Even others are rushing up to become a manager but yet you would really need to build up trust and reputation to be recognize as a good manager. Btc campaign or Bounty campaign handling wont really be an easy thing, those managers start from scratch but they do able to build up trust since they have done their job well.
6117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: $260,000 stolen from my ethereum wallet on: March 03, 2018, 01:07:55 PM
Hi bitcointalk users,

I am really asking for your help and understanding. Tonight i was hacked. My wallet (0x005AFd8B9823e54A398505e88DC62042C00a528E) was attacked during the night and someone stole around $260k. I entered the wallet to check my funds and found that half is missing. How can this happen? I mean i was never sharing my private key with anyone and .json file was in safe place. I was logged on with MetaMask for a long time and last time i shared my private key was in Etherdelta account 2 months ago. On my opinion, private key or .json could not have been compromised physically or by anybody.

Really stupid that this scammer started with tiny DATAcoin in amount of 0.57 cents... then Arcblock, Dragonchain and Nebulas and again Monaco $8 amount and then others. It looks really strange. Because other half of $250k amount he didnt touch. Here is scammers wallet (0xF2b4e6123F05D6b7c44Fefa4F0AD243E7d3A81cB). The other half was sent by me after 9-10 hours after scam to new wallet. Please can you have a look and help me with this issue? Any advices upon this issue?
I have seen 2 address as of now 1 you have given above is on hackers wallet which currently have 43 ETH + $217,270.86 worth of Token value as of this writing which it shows that he didn't transfer all the coins you do have from your main wallet which is 0x005AFd8B9823e54A398505e88DC62042C00a528E and now I do see recent transactions happen few hours after where tokens being transferred into a new wallet which is on here 0x84D00a39E90c65FDF99799D3Dbc88b3049b57aF5.Is this your own new wallet or another hackers new wallet address?I drolled into thousands of dollars being talking on here.
6118  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: HashFlare worth to reinvest ??!! on: March 03, 2018, 10:24:59 AM
Hi guys ! I have several rigs also I have HashFlare contact with only 5 TH/s with SHA256
I wanna know your oppinion  about to to see In the future it might worth to reinvest to my contract witch will be end of December this year. Im try to to say to compare and see all consequences in the future(I have 9 month left).  (Not bct are bubble ,nothing like this) but if btc gonna be stay constantly between 10K -11K for several month or a year it will be worth to me DO NOT reinvest just take my bcc out.
Somebody has a REALISTIC again REALISTIC hope or prediction what to do ??



Didn't you see what hashflare did to their users? Literally robbed them of their cloud mining contract, lifetime to 1 year, and minimum withdrawal is so high that you're probably not going to get your ROI withdrawn even if you do make it back.

Unless you are 100% sure that you will be able to turn a profit, I would suggest not to reinvest. Get your money, and stop using hashflare. The problem is that their management seems to be perfectly okay with manipulating their user contracts into essentially making less money than promised.

If you want to speculate on coins, then just do that. We are not sure whether hashflare is actually mining or not, even if we are there is no way of determining that they have 100% backing of the contracts.

I was going to say the same thing until I read your post.

I've been reinvesting my earnings at HashFlare for a couple of years now, and once I received the email that our lifetime contracts were now limited to 1-year contracts, I stopped reinvesting and decided to let my newly-created 1-year contracts play out. Once the last of the contracts expires, I'll be withdrawing my earnings and getting the fuck out of HF. Not only did they make contract changes, they raised the minimum limit of withdrawal multiple times. They did provide email updates regarding all the changes, and are pretty professionally operated, but I just do not feel comfortable with the company any longer.

I've received emails from several of my referrals to HF claiming that their contracts will expire before they hit the minimum withdrawal limit... If I'm receiving this many emails, I'm wondering how many users in total are affected by this, and how much crypto that HF is pocketing from this. I would think that the fairest thing to do is to let users withdraw their final balance once their latest active contracts expire. While 0.005BTC may not seem like a lot to many, it's still $55USD (at the time of this post).

It's the little changes like this that put me over the edge; I was already skeptical about this company when I purchased my contracts... Now, even more so.

Thanks for the reply. I am clearly not making up BS here. There is a reason why I always warn people against cloud mining in general and hashflare cloud mining in particular. You never know what their next move is.

It's not even a fair game, they have every right to change your contract, you have no rights to argue with them. If they decide that they want to reduce payouts for a period of time as they accumulate money to actually pay off previous investors due to liquidity issues arising from not actually mining, you have nothing you can do to prove that they are doing this on purpose, nor can you argue with the change.

The minimum withdrawal amount has been raised to 0.2+ BTC before IIRC, and currently is 0.05 BTC instead of the 0.005 BTC you gave: https://hashflare.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/207973869-How-to-make-a-withdrawal-, unless this article is outdated. Bottom line is that you should do your own research, see what happened with their multiple raises in min withdrawal before you actually reinvest any sums, because you'd be in that contract for at least a few hundred days with no way out.
This is the hard thing among with these kind of cloud mining investments even how reputable and how long they are operational and i agree on the things you do have said.They do have the full control or manipulation as they like and as an investor you wont really have any choice but to follow on whats being said if you dont like to experience such problems with them.For those early investor back in the past with HF i do believe they are already on profits and since difficulty rise up they make such changes and for those who came in too late will really feel the difference when it comes to profit talks.
6119  Other / Meta / Re: Limited Sendable Merit is the problem. on: March 03, 2018, 09:53:57 AM
The problem in this merit system is the merit count that you can send to others is very limited ( specially when you have a low rank account when the time merit system invented ). What if Sir theymos update this kind of merit system, atleast adding 1 merit everyday (sendable merit). Like my rank, I sent my merit to someone worth it, that's why I don't have smerit even I see a quality post while browsing here in bitcointalk.org.

What do you think?
I understand you consider your lack of smerit a problem for yourself, but for the forum as a whole, it's actually a good thing; the merit system is working as intended. Sendable merit is intentionally scarce; it if was awarded to everyone, spammers would also have it, so they would be able to merit each other's garbage posts and we would be back where we started.

Maybe you can view your lack of smerit as an incentive to write really good posts so that you'll earn merit going forward? You can also apply to become a merit source (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.msg28856522#msg28856522), although that requires that you're a 'somewhat established member'.
Thanks for giving me some link to know about the merit system, this is helpful to me. Just want to create a little idea to those who has hard time to get the smerit. Good luck to us folks, maybe the next day is better than this one. Challenge accepted.
Good you have been able to realize the reason why the merit system was created and why everyone has their share of smerit they can give out. If that is not done, the same way ranking up due to activity alone was abused with a lot of alt accounts dropping shit posts to level up, which is the same way the merit system will be abused. Anyone who wants to give out smerit, should just manage the little ones available to them.

Basically if sendable merits is not like that, then it would definitely be abused by a lot of people in the long run. So, it is best to leave the send able merit the way it is, while those who are a high trusted member have a load of it to share around. Even with the little send able merit, some are already abusing it by raising their alts, let alone, when it is giving out too much. As long as you are a low rank member, you may just need to worry about ranking up rather than dishing out merit.
This is the limitation and you cant do anything about it but to pass up on giving out merits when you dont have anything left smerits into your account.I agree on what Kevin said.Its better to mind your own account and making substantial post to level up your rank rather than on stressing yourself out on how to send merits to others. Theymos is already aware about abuse thats why he do design this merit system which i can say its actually a fine thing for me.

When i first came to crypto space, traders talk about polonix and bittrex exchange even the investors of new ico want those coins to be listed on it. What is wrong with polonix? Is the exchange dead?
Every developer and Every investor into a particular coin or project do always hope or strive for the coin to be listed into these famous/reputable/top ranking exchanges since we do all know that this have large volume on daily basis which means once listed expect for price of a coin to shoot up considering there are lots of traders who do make activity into this exchanger which means higher chances on reaching new ath for those coins who do successfully get inside but being listed is really pain in the ass.
