6421  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Get in Early Bounty Program! on: July 12, 2018, 10:46:07 PM
getting early in signature campaign or social media campaign is better for gaining more stakes, but stakes is not important when ICO is failed, get full information about ICO bounty and make sure its not scam ICO.
for social media and telegram i think we are better join in early bounty program started. but for signature i think the best moment to join is when ICOs have been reached softcap. so our work is not useless Grin
Is there such thing like early bounty program? This sounds very new to me and I feel like so intrigued on this. I haven't experienced this thing before and if I join this,will it still be useful on my part since I've been in this situation right now,joining signature campaign? Anyway,I guess this is very useful for newbies. Let's give them the floor to explore crypto world.
Early bounty program is probably from beginning, look at jinbi campaign as an example, early participants received much more tokens than later, it is good in other campaigns because you will receive more stakes and more tokens but also has side effect, bounty rules are changeable.
Earlier the better but the question would still remain on where either this campaign would succeed or not because it would still useless even you join up as early as you can but you end up on recieving nothing because the campaign either becomes scam or decide not to pay the exact amount and yes bounty rules are changeable anytime if they do want to and as a participant you wont really have any choice but to accept or deal with it.

You don't need a lot of computing power.  Here are all the private keys right here:
https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/dio/1 

Your key is in there too.  Think your money is safe?  Guess again.  It has already been cracked.
here's the address 12tLs9c9RsALt4ockxa1hB4iTCTSmxj2me contains 10,000 BTC
would you be kind to point me the exact page number where this bitcoin address is listed Grin


that page is a simple on-the-fly auto generated page of hex private keys listed in sequential order
Why do people do forces out to believe that list of private keys do have corresponding bitcoins inside of those addresses. I doubt or believe there are fools who are trying to access those btc wallets and hoping or giving a shot to have some jackpots which they are just basically  like punching in the air without hitting up something  Grin
Even if you do try to input those keys for a lifetime i bet you wont able to check it all. haha
6423  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Wallet maintenance on Yobit. What to do? on: July 12, 2018, 09:46:40 PM
It's common for an exchange to take a wallet offline for maintenance, normally this happens when a coin forks or does a mandatory upgrade. This is uncommon for doge however as it has not been developed in years.

Yes, that's for good exchanges. I can't say the same for Yobit exchange. I know of many wallets on yobit that have been under maintenance for over a year. And it's not like Yobit actually has a support team that you can make complaints or requests to. They don't. I wonder why people still use that exchange when it mainly list shitcoins, has little to no volume when there are fsr mkre better exchanges with more uptime.
This do always questions me why there are still people do loves to engage with this exchange yet some of these low volume coins are still traded on other top tier exchangers like Dogecoin but still people end up on using those exchange which do have really a bad reputation yet there are lots of issues we have known to yobit. Bad support, no-ending wallet maintenance, pump and dump schemes, delayed deposits and withdrawals.
OP didnt make such update if he do already recieve his dogecoins.
6424  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think that Beginners need Technical analysis? on: July 12, 2018, 09:13:06 PM
I think technology is very important, but for a newcomer, it is very advanced and difficult to understand. It is important to choose the right team and project, not always to consider technology. Because technology is always competing, there is no result.
So you mean technology and technical analysis are the same thing? lol Grin

I think newbies don't need TA for the reason that almost all small cap altcoins will not move their price according to it. While big ones - just buy when others sell and sell when others buy, that was mega-short training of TA and how  to trade Cheesy

I agree somehow to your point when it comes to TA for small cap coins which wont really work most of the time but it would be good if you do start up on using or practicing on how to use TA even you are trading up on low volume or low cap coins because sooner or later you would able come to a point where you would need this kind of knowledge to be supplemented on your trading career.
As early as you can technical analysis would a be good traders knowledge even we know this indicator doesnt work anytime in cryptospace.
6425  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: If I forget wallet's password? on: July 10, 2018, 09:35:34 PM
If you are talking about Bitcoin Core, then yes. You will either need the unencrypted wallet file or the password to decrypt it and spend the coins.

If you have a high amount of BTC stored in your wallet, you could try a service that brute forces your password, like Wallet Recovery Services for 20% of your wallet balance.

So you mean that If I lost my private keys than this wallet recovery service can provide me my private key??
No.

When you can already access your wallet you would able to know your private keys on such wallet address but if you didnt access it due to wrong password and you havent known the private keys then theres no chance for you to recover it and this is why your last resort would be using up some recovery services and as being said above these services wont give you a guaranteed success everytime.
6426  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Almost every Altcoin down : Here is what you should be doing! on: July 10, 2018, 08:28:35 PM
Hello Guys, looks like the current market crash has got everyone troubled and they cant think of anything but to outburst inside out and hope that when the market will see green spikes like 50%++ and stuff like that.  Cheesy
Well, thats more than dream come true for any crypto geek here, but I gotta say we have to wait for that opportunity yet.

Here is what you should be doing right away :

- Already got portfolio which is down in the investment ? Then you should add more similar coins into it. Yes, because if you enter the every market with current rates then this would be your starting point and it will give you more % profit than what you are holding today by the time you reach the old entry point.

- This would be ideal step to refurbish your portfolio and easy way to lower your break even point!

- Relax, and think about the mega crashes of 2014 and back then, same outburst feeling was surging through everyone but did you notice everyone did hold their portfolio and today they are big people around the forum.  Cool

- Its good to ask which coins to invest into but you can always go and read about the project to know more insights. Sometime you can do better as coopered to others.

- Hope that relaxes everyone.  Tongue
One of the ways being mentioned is to re-enter on a lower price so that you would able to get closer into your older entry point which is good but make sure you had bought on the most possible bottom price because if not then you would just end up on adding your losses instead on aiming to make break even.
We do see crashes but we cant assure if the history would repeat itself therefore we should not rely into those boost of emotions and thinkings.
I rather rely on my own analysis than on others, its not bad to have some preferences but always accompany it with your own research before engaging.
6427  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Four Arrested in Ukraine for Running Six Fake Cryptocurrency Exchanges on: July 10, 2018, 07:51:08 PM
I've seen a thread a while ago about Ukraine's legalization of crypto mining (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4449627.0) and I feel glad about it because they are now slowly embracing and adapting the concept of cryptocurrency. Then I suddenly see this terrible news Sad. How ironic that their government are trying to harness the potentials of crypto with good intentions of course, but in the end, others (like this four fraudsters) used this a tool for harming their fellowmen.

Anyway, I just really hope this bad news will not trigger their government to ban crypto in their country.
Expect the unexpected where there a news of such acceptance of adoption and suddenly bad news happens. This would already matter on their jurisdiction if they would changed up their views because of such incident but on my own view it wont really be that much a great factor to go into opposite way. One fake exchange is somehow common but when we do talk about 6? Its a different story and good thing those fraudsters being caught.
6428  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think the Decentralized exchange will be the future? on: July 10, 2018, 06:12:30 PM
I do think decentralised exchanges are the future if a few problems such as unpredictable fees, slow interface, security, lack of support and etc.
For some features i do agree but only one thing i wont agree is about the security. Centralized and decentralized it doesnt matter yet they are still prone to attack. Decentralized exchangers might show up if strict implementation would be applied on any exchange that do operate on a certain state where users would even have a hard time on using up their service or just simply they dont like to comply the KYC thingy but rest assured centralized exchange will surely stay.
6429  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: buy some, sell some, and hold some on: July 09, 2018, 10:13:59 PM
when you do trading, do you always think about this, "buy some, sell some, hold some."
Basic thing to do but definite even just on buying out a token wont really be that easy due to number of tokens in the market either new ones or those old ones. If you are a wise investor you would definitely be keen on choosing which one to buy, Sell some? Its always been part on trading if we do saw a profit then its just normal for us to make such act.Where we do sell tokens if we see gains but sometimes holding is an option if we do seek out for more profits for long term basis.
6430  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: looking for a hidden GEM? what about this Project rated as 4.8 on ICObench? on: July 09, 2018, 06:22:21 PM
FIRST OF ALL:
always invest what you can afford to loose and never put all eggs in same basket.
Good advise though which most investors do make it as a habit on not investing into those amounts that they can afford to lose up.
Diversifying is good but i would tell you this,not all 4.8 ratings on review sites wont guarantee you success and come to think of that it might be a paid review yet i have seen some service recently about paid up review.


"nice discovery! this projects seems promising..   and also the fact that they will burn all unsold tokens, will make the price skyrocket!"
Not a mandatory thing but as an investor you would always prefer to have this kind of arrangement where burning out unsold tokens should be done by the team because price manipulation can be done if most tokens being hold up by the team itself.
6431  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Which country do you think has gotten crypto-regulations right? on: July 09, 2018, 05:12:34 PM
Same sentiments on the previous reply before mine::

I think and totally agree that JAPAN has the perfect cryptocurrency regulatory model that represents the future dealings on handling this technology.. This place started it all and admired by many crypto users for its transparent and fairly reasonable regulation..

I would like to be living in this country permanently and making a legalized business on crypto.. That’s a dream and only time//money can knowns when..
As a crypto-enthusiast then living in this kind of country which do have a good handling out when it comes to crypto regulation would really be just like heaven because of the convenience that it can give to us users.
Its not surprising about regulation that do still inline with traditional government system but somehow restrictions or conditions arent too strict compared to other countries that do legalized crypto too.
6432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Advice to all bounty hunters. on: July 09, 2018, 04:38:47 PM
Bounty hunters help to expose ICOs to crypto related audience to attract investors for the project. No matter how promising the project may be, if the ICO fails, the project won't see the light of the day. Bounty hunters are very important in ICOs. But there is one thing am not happy about bounty hunters. They usually dump their coins at any price the moment it is listed on an exchage which usually drops the price of the coin even below the ICO price putting the investors at a disadvantage. I want to advise the hunters to hold their bounty tokens for a while in order to maintain a good price for the coin. We shouldn't forget we are all stakeholders
I'm a bounty hunter too and majority of coins i received i stil hold for it soecially now the price is too low due to bearish market  for those who sold their coins immediately i think its their right to hold or sold immediately as that is their own coins already and for the sudden drop of price it is only normal and temporary if coins has solid foundation and good project price may recovee in sue time don't blame those  bounty Hunters.
As a bounty hunter you do have the full control of your tokens received since you do work hard for it and its up to you if you would decide to dump it immediately or would decide to hold up for more longer because you do believe on the project you had advertised or promote. Its up on our choice and its normal for bounty hunters to be blamed on such drop but basing on the percentage on overall bounty i cant say that they are the main reasons. We should always look up on investors dumping game for profits.
6433  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tips on making a more precise and accurate Technical Analysis please. on: July 06, 2018, 09:28:18 PM
I am still a newbie trader and my primary concern is that I am still not a pro in making Technical Analysis and I end up usually with no profit or with slight loss because my TA is wrong. Any tips? Thank you in advance!
You cant consider as a wrong one yet technical analysis wont really work anytime into this very volatile market but having a proper technical analysis would guide you somehow on your trades it might not be accurate or precise to give the same or expected results but if you do mixed up with some fundamentals then it would be somehow effective.Just like on my part ive been doing both things news+TA at the same time you can observe on how your trade performance goes.
6434  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Envion,Terraminer,Ambit Mining and Ice Rock Mining !! this ROI is possible ?? on: July 06, 2018, 07:46:58 PM
can you invest in mining farms in the next months and 2 years or shouldn't you invest there?
Envion = Huh??   Grin
Terraminer = Huh??  Grin
Ice Rock Mining Part I and Part II  HuhGrin Grin
Ambit Mining = ICO end 

I don't know exactly. But I don't think all three have brought people no much profit yet.
would you rather invest there or not  Huh

there's no money from me. but what's your opinion
Definitely No!

No matter how good their promotion is or in the contract price they do offer its quite normal that any cloud mining sites wont really be good for long term but well its your own money its still up your choice if you do like to proceed or not but i do tell you this that its being mentioned for a thousand times about cloud mining sites unprofitable way of investment.If you do like to waste up money then its your choice and also there are lots of alternatives on how to grow your money.
6435  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reading Whitepapers on: July 06, 2018, 06:49:11 PM
Reading white paper of any project is a must, because it gives an outline about the project. Experts on going through the white paper itself predict how worthy is the respective project. Without going through the white paper making an investment expecting profit is similar to gambling depending upon luck alone.
You are definitely doing gambling if you do invest without any basis or you didnt even read up their whitepaper and as we all know this is the thing where it do explains all about the project.Its not necessary for you to read up as a whole but rather just get the key points or the main idea because if you do tend to read it all then it would be time consuming.I have experience on doing those things at first and it really cost me time instead you can use it up on other things.Just get the main idea.
6436  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What to Know about Decentralized Exchanges on: July 06, 2018, 06:16:24 PM
Volume is extremely low on most DEXes and I hardly use them except for some lesser-known tokens that I want to sell that are only listed on them. I don't use them because of low volume and also the fact that most DEXes have UIs that look like they were made by children (EtherDelta)- I'd much rather just use a traditional exchange for the 99% of times that I'm not trading an obscure token that's only listed on a DEX.

Besides that, most decentralized exchanges usually don't offer any major new features besides being decentralized over traditional exchanges, and coupled with everything I've mentioned earlier I can't be bothered to try them.
Not only that where DEX do only supports mostly on Erc20 tokens which do flood up on the market.I agree that DEX do have lesser volumes compared to those centralized exchangers.Most tokens would be mostly listed up here when they dont end up on being listed into better exchange or users do tend to trade it first thats why we cant really expect for volumes to be big similar into other exchange not dex.
The thing i do like with these exchange because it isnt centralized, no kyc or any other related stuffs.
6437  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-07-04] 6 Million Bitcoin is Lost or Stolen, Should the Real Value of BTC on: July 05, 2018, 08:35:04 PM
Important thing these boobie articles don't take in mind is the fact that just because Bitcoins aren't moving on-chain, it doesn't mean they aren't being used or that they are lost.

I have bought plenty of physical Denarium coins this year that I funded with a certain amount of Bitcoin, all to be used in case there is no internet or electricity available, or maybe in case I just need the privacy that much. These physical coins can be spent thousands of times without anyone even noticing because nothing happens on-chain, and I'm pretty sure that I am not the only person with this form of use and way of thinking.

Exchanging private keys happens, we just don't know how often, and that's exactly the purpose of this utility; no one should ever know. Smiley

Exactly! I have coins dating back to 2015 and haven't touched the addresses for 3 years. I guess my coins are by now somewhere in that "lost" group.
Makes me wonder, how long does it take before an address is considered lost with all its balance? 2 years? 3 years? Cheesy
As for the stolen coins, why should we care? If the thieves get caught the coins will end up on some auction and return to circulation. If they don't get caught the coins will go through mixers and casinos and the result will be the same.
Why its really important for us to find out about lost coins and stolen ones? Theres no one can able to prove that those coins that aren't been moved are totally lost and as being said they might not really being moved intentionally and people do make such speculations or proclaims that those are lost ones. I doubt when bitcoins tends to hit up new ATH, one of those wallets would be active.  Smiley
About stolen coins it would be just still the same no matter what the process they would use up.

I have tried to sell tokens in the past which resulted in losing all that I had, I need more advice on best Exchanges for mostly all altcoins and how safer they are to use?
Try to check out on exchangers who do have the most volume https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/all/
We can already preview which site is on top as of now and using them would somehow give less risk but not a guaranteed thing for them not to experience issues even on Binance on their recent bug incident.
6439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Fake binance pump? on: July 05, 2018, 06:25:49 PM
Every other time we see a coin get pumped badly on binance, recently being the case of sys coin. My question is, Should we take part in such pumps ? How much risks it involves? How long should we hold that coin?
You should not include that SYS coin incident which its not relevant to be considered on such situation yet it do involves bug related issues with the platform not totally a usual pump of coins not only to this exchange but on others as well.
Fake pumps and dumps do exist and when you saw these coins then its too late for you to get in and its risky when you FOMO. Not all coins would have definitely a possible same movement for you to wait up.
6440  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018/07/02]Over 1,000 ICOs Have Failed in 2018, New Report Claims on: July 05, 2018, 05:11:22 PM
Well, many icos are created by people who only make false promises, when I say false promises I am referring to the fact that those people who create ICO only have ideas and have no concept of practice, you can have idea of creating a production company of bananas, but if you have never made bananas, then you will have a great chance of failing ... and this has happened in the world of ICO. People who have ideas, have no idea of the reality of the real world and after collecting investor money and putting the idea into practice, are faced with the harsh reality of the real world and with that the project fails.

then there are cases of scammers, this ICO market has become the gold mine of many scammers and with the constant loss of money investors are losing, and allied to the fact that governments intervene with very strict regulations, it will be even more difficult for any Ico achieve success.
These cycle cant really be stopped if investors do continue do fill out their bags with their money and repeat the process all over again.Nothing to be surprised of that most of projects in the market do have an unrealistic goals or plans.Some might be achievable but would really require too much work or funding and most of them do still fail even on the early phase. This is why its important to see on how dedicated the team behind on the project you are investing and whitepaper or roadmap should really be realistic.

It can't be really avoided when these ICO investors and project/ICO developers collaborate just to gain profit. These ICOs are made even when there's no actual intention to implement what has been stated in their whitepaper or road map because there's big money in it. What's sad is when actual ICOs (and are not scams) which have potential and the actual intention to facilitate change for the world fails to raise enough funds. This sometimes happen when the team poorly plans or markets their project.

OP has surprising statistics as I wouldn't think that it would be possible to measure such data. With the great number of ICOs, I didn't figure that a great majority would be scams. 81% is significantly large so that would mean if it so happens that the ICO you invested in is successful and legit then you are some lucky guy who found a diamond among rocks.
It isn't a large one but just really a right percentage to presume or even higher. Basing on projects as of now and the ones who do succeed are just really small in numbers. Marketing do always really play a big role on projects success and I agree that potential or good ones do failed out due of such lack of support which is opposite into the situation of those scam projects instead.They do rather get the funds and support.


These cycle cant really be stopped if investors do continue do fill out their bags with their money and repeat the process all over again.Nothing to be surprised of that most of projects in the market do have an unrealistic goals or plans.Some might be achievable but would really require too much work or funding and most of them do still fail even on the early phase. This is why its important to see on how dedicated the team behind on the project you are investing and whitepaper or roadmap should really be realistic.

I believe the huge percentage of ICO funds come from the scammers themselves who put their own ETH into contracts to create an illusion of confidence and induce FOMO in potential victims. So, the actual amount of coins invested in ICO's might be going down, despite the seeming popularity of ICO's, but it's still way higher than it should be, people should be treatening all ICO's as scams, and in cases when they are conducted by some big and established entities, they are still insanely high risk investments, because there's no successful ICO's that have delivered a full working product.
This is very very possible or do really happen where statistics shown on how much is being accumulated will really be a strong convincing factor for those potential investors specially when they do saw on pre-sale it was sold out in a matter either minutes,seconds or few days. If you are seeking for investment you will most likely to go with these things because you do blindly believe that this is already a good investment without doing deep further research behind.
