641  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SEC, Howey Test and Token as Securities on: January 28, 2018, 09:17:45 AM
Sooner or later SEC is going to come up with a classification of cryptocurrencies. They might not call it "securities" but it is unnatural for them to leave such a fast growing market unregulated. Unfortunately, "wild west" of cryptocurrencies will not last for a long time.

The COINSMARKETS.com team need to force everyone to UPDATE their pin/passwords BEFORE
they can login for the first time

If you ever just checked out a phishing link your browser could remember and take you to the dodgy sites .net instead of .com when its restored  and we could have an even bigger scandal of angry people

Google Authenticator should also be applied for users ASAP

What is the source of this information? How can a user of coinsmarkets change their PIN or password if the site is still unavailable?
643  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Banks have 'No Intention' to use Ripple's XRP token on: January 28, 2018, 08:49:51 AM

Bloomberg News
confirmed that it has spoken to various multi national banks, who all had the same thing to say:

'We have No Intention of using the XRP token for Bank Transfers.'


It appears, Prima Facia, that 'some' Banks may have agreed to 'Test' certain 'Network Features' of Ripple's new network, but Bloomburg couldn't find a single bank that would be using the publicly traded XRP token to initiate bank transfers.

Blockchain interuption in banking industry is far from being implemented in production. Some features might be (or have been) tested, but cost of transition to any "general ledger" technology is significantly higher than revenues and value added of the transition. That being said, it is more probable to see a brand new "hipster" bank to pioneer blockchain technology in full scope.
 
Merited, btw.

I joined ARGO Discord a few days ago and looked forward to this ann  Wink  One thing is not clear to me - what does Integration in real life means on the roadmap? What business areas are you going to target? I think this is essential for long term success of the coin.
645  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I'm calling $ITC right now on: January 27, 2018, 09:27:41 PM
ITC is the second IoT-oriented coin I invested, and my first profit target at $12 per ITC. On one hand Chinese companies are kinda difficult to read, on the other hand price was already above $8 so I expect ITC to revisit all-time high as more news come.

The exchange rate plummeted. What is the reason?

I noticed sudden price decrease yesterday, and I couldn't find a rational reason for that. Even on discord there are no news that could affect price so intensively. It might be a right time to enter the market  Wink

Recent inavailability of southexchange is probably one of the price drivers.
648  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] KZ CASH - First regional cryptocurrency in Kazakhstan on: January 27, 2018, 11:47:22 AM
Dear Community!
We received several proposals on the use of Development and Research Fund.
Here is the first one, which is reasonable and very useful.
We suggest that the Community discuss and supplement with the proposals.
In case of approval, we suggest to submit this proposal for an open tender.
The developer who will offer the best conditions price, timing and quality terms, will get this order.
The essence of the proposal is to develop an Opensource map for KZCash, similar to http://coinmap.org.
That is an interactive map, where everyone will be able to add a seller of goods and services accepting KZCash as payment.
This proposal fits perfectly into our development plans.
At the moment we are negotiating with 5 local suppliers, which are ready to accept KZCash as payment.
The proposals are sent to more than 30 promising suppliers.
As far as these suppliers are added they will be listed on the map.
Let's discuss it together. Moreover, any specialists can offer their services. This way we start to involve the KZCash Development Fund.
We work for the Community!


Great idea! I support this proposal, such a map could help clients finding local sellers who accept KZC and further raise brand awareness. User ratings of sellers would be a great feature.

I have been optimistic for a very long time since CM first stopped operations but I am losing my hope now. It seems now that they are just buying time ..  Angry Good bye, my coins.
650  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TIERION [TNT]Token Sale Starts on 27 July on: January 26, 2018, 11:54:36 AM
I'm aware that all nodes are already registered, but what happens if a current node goes offline? Does a spot open up for registration?

Once a node is registered, I do not believe it becomes unregistered even if it stops running. No additional slot opens up until the next registration period.

The actual node registration gets filled rather quickly (usually 5-20 minutes), so you have to be ready to go at the bell. Even then, its been roughly a ~30% chance to get a node registered due to the volume of people trying to register at the same time.

If it is so, do the new registration periods being announced somehow?

Registration periods are always announced in their Network updates, see more at https://medium.com/tierion
There are 500 to 1000 new spots available every month.

Just confirming, is your 'cryptoeconmics and business' adviser a former tv poker player? The guy looks like tony g. If so, thats fine, but what are his actual credentials for the job besides playing poker.

As far as I know, Tony G is also active in politics and business. He founded (or invested in) betting company TonyBet and also acquired some online projects. His name is very probably a door-opener in Baltic region.

Nice concept, I like the scope of your project. There is one feature I don't get. Let me quote from your ann:

Quote
Social
Make connections with users and meet new people through social networking,
powered by new breakthroughs in blockchain technology using distributed computing.

Why do you add social aspect to the ecosystem? What value added does it represent for a client/user? I personally am sick and tired about sharing, liking, reposting and all this stuff on almost all non-social site.

Yes, the social part is for client/user representation. Service providers will deliver any kinds of work to the clients after getting XX% prepayment for it - so this feature will allow clients know their service providers and vice versa so the whole process can be transparent for both parties. There won't be any likes, sharing or reposting stuff - only the user ratings to provide services on the highest level and attract the most valuable clients to the platform.

Thanks for your response. Cool, user ratings make sense. I imagined much broader social part. Good luck to further development.

654  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ALQO] PoW/PoS 0,17% Premine | Quark | ZeroCoin Protocol | 1-Second-TX on: January 20, 2018, 12:36:35 PM
I noticed a slight change on ALQO coinmarketcap page. Coinmarketcap used to calculate market capitalization from Total supply of the coin. Now, they calculate market cap from Circulating supply which is probably Total supply less coins locked in masternodes. Nice move to make room for further growth in market cap  Wink

I noticed that this morning as well. While it is good news for outside investors to see the low marketcap – why the change? I haven’t seen any other coin be calculated by this. Why Alqo?


This change was new to the team as well and we were more or less "not happily surprised". In the end the dev decided not to directly contact CMC instead waiting a couple of days and check out if this low market cap will attract more investors eventually. Nevertheless for the fact that there is a lot of talks with financial officials, banks and so on this move from CMC was not good at all.

Lets see what the next days will look like and there will be action in that manner soon.

So CMC changed it without letting you know? They sometimes treat coins really strangely. Shocked  Eventually, it is just math, and every rational investor makes its own calculation.
655  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Tried Pump&Dump ? on: January 20, 2018, 12:06:46 PM
Hi all,
Has anybody tried Discord coin pumping groups? Is it profitable? I have looked at the below one- they have more than 10.000 members, so I think they can affect the market quite a lot ?

So look at this one, and let me know your opinions: https://discord.gg/q3N9795

I tried once to find out how it works (lost a few dollars). It is a pure gamble for you as a regular member of the group. The overall increase in price always looks inviting but you will rarely catch it in the beginning and even less probably jump out at the top. Only admins make money  Wink

About the down time ,
Time : 2018-01-19

First let us explain what is coinsmarkets , we are based on 2 investor , 1 admin , 1 coder , 2 senior support and 4 general support .
In November last year 1 of senior support left the team , It is hard enough to hire a new one , this work is based on a lot of trust , so we still waiting for correct condidat .
Now let's move to the issue , in December we experienced a lot of new users and huge volume , we were ready for double or even triple volume but in our case it was 10x +.
From here all kind of problem start with servers ,
Now add to that the last senior support remaining have some family issue and was forced to be off  most of the time .
In addition to all that there was some db corruption issue we faced due to the overload and later hosting issue.
So a lot of work to do with a lot of missing stuff.
Please understand that in exchange you can't just go and hire someone and trust him millions of dollars .
We are sorry for lack of comunication about issue we have thought that people already trust us enough , and we invested 100% of time in restoring the site .
Now issue with hosting , hosting complained about a lot of fraud report from users about our service . We find this really hard to explain , it is clear that not even a single coin has moved from our wallets , and once again we are here to stay ,
We have not even released 10% of our road map , there is a lot of new future to be added in the nearest future.
A week ago we started negoation with new host that can accept similar service , we initiated the move ,
The Database was fixed yesterday night .
Now remain to setup new servers , few fix here and there and service will be restored ,
We write our news only in coinsmarkets news section , any twitter , chat msg etc is a scam ,
Again Official Coinsmarkets message are written only in coinsmarkets news section .


These guys have millions of dollars of people's money on hold and this is their excuse after 2 weeks of no response and a broken website.

Coinsmarketcap removed coinsmarkets out of their site.

Well, I still believe they are just a group of amateurish crypto zealots, not scammers. Let's wait how this will end up. Nevertheless, their business is going to be severly hit by long lasting outage and lack of crisis communication. Trust vanishes easily.
657  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How are altcoins with no mining classed as currency on: January 19, 2018, 02:01:07 PM
To be very exact, you haven't bought anything "physical". Tokens are often used as means of primary distribution before launching main net solution (supposedly blockchain solution). For some projects, tokens represent (or are promised to represent) a certain value in future - share of profit, share of transaction fees etc. The other group of tokens are simply tokens as a part of the company - founders effectively raised additional capital thanks to you.

The notion fo their business could be an advantage for them against Chinese government. I bet they are spread across more than two datacenters on at least two continents so they can migrate quickly from Chinese jurisdiction. And nothing prevents them from moving the company and the team to sunny Singapore Wink

The team just published a summary of 2017, which is quite impressive: https://medium.com/@Waltonchain_EN/the-summary-of-waltonchain-in-2017-9935f68c9aa4


These two reached goals are especially admirable. I have personal experience with copyright and trademark administration, and it is very complex area. The team delivered suprisingly good results.

A very interesting project, useful for users who exercise and lead a healthy life.  Glad to see a sport development  everybody just thinks on the money but health and wellness is super important in our lives. checked the team bio and I saw a team who knows what they are doing good luck.

In addition to the reward for health, there will be the financial reward. What could be better? As we say in my country, it is to unite the useful with the pleasant. And really the team is formed by experienced and successful people in other projects.

The team do a great job to make a successful story of Lympo. I appreciate their standpoint on Ethereum price growth (offseting token sale details). Last but not least, it is great to see a woman CEO to lead such a project! Good luck!
