If you are gamblers on Stake.com or Primedice, there is a vote for potential upcoming new coins on two sites. Here you go: [Vote] Next coin to be added to Stake.com & Primedice. Temporarily, Stellar and Ripple have stood at most favorite coins from the Vote Results. I think they are both good for those sites, especially Stellar. If you have not voted, it is time to vote and show owners your favorite coins on their sites. I agree with you, I have been waiting for the appearance of a stellar for a long time, I hope they will add XLM  Adding XLM will boost the potential activity and DGB also can be a great choice if Stake management considers its availability. To be honest, the deposit coins are not variable than the competitors. Looking at the poll, it seems like Stellar is in the lead, right behind Ripple. When I first took the poll, I could have sworn that USDT/ Stablecoin would have the most votes but its somewhere in the middle. Really surprised with Crypto being as volatile as it is, more people don't want to gamble with a stablecoin and protect their original capital. Also surprised they even included it in the list because last time I asked tether to be considered they didn't want to add it due to the regulations that surround it. |

Have you joined our Forum already? There are alot of good stuffs waiting for you to check  If not yet a member what are you waiting for? Join the best Pay per Post Forum:  Well, it's definitely a good incentive to post but only if you really like gambling, etc, the overall reward is not really that great but hey, it's almost free money, right? I started betting yesterday with 0.0045 btc and got up to 0.25 by using a payout of 6 and increasing my bets x2 after 4 losses. I lost everything in the end xd The incentive is there to make the forum more active, especially these days when people are moving away from old fashioned forums and into Twitter, Reddit, Slack, Discord, etc. If they didn't have the post incentive then the forum would still be active but most likely not as active as today. From a business point of view its pretty smart, especially since the BTC goes back to the site anyways. In the past there was many of these "get-paid-to-post" forums and most were very successful. |

Well to simply put, the house always wins, and that is in relation to the notion that short-term traders are essentially gamblers[i/].
In trading there is no house. The house edge is basically the commission that your exchange charges and also the spread which you pay if you remove liquidity from the market makers. However you are not trading against the exchange you are trading against other traders. And they take your short when you go long and vice versa. So it doesn't always mean the house will win, however if you over-trade and end up losing more in commissions and spread then its the house edge which took your profits not the exchange. Don't know if this make sense. But its common practise among many new retail traders who generally take good trades but since they over-trade they still can't make a profit. |

I've dealt with the bad Gigabyte Windforce fans since the 2013 Litecoin mining days when the Radeon 7950/7970 were constantly throttling due to at least 1 fan failing.
Gigabyte is the worse of them and then asus, best is sapphire, hands down. In my experience its the other way around, the ASUS brand seems to have held up the most and Sapphire was the 2nd worst. Don't know which model you are talking about with Sapphire but those Sapphire Dual-X 280X which had exploding MOSFETs and also featured crappy sleeve bearing fans which were as bad as Gigabyte pretty much. The Gigabyte was a step up because their warranty was easier to deal with. With Sapphire you need to be original owner, have receipt and ship it overseas for repair. Something not worth doing for a simple fan swap. |

I've logged into my Nicehash account probably since the hack and its still stuck at 76%. Wondering if its worth it to just cut the losses and take the 76% now that BTC is higher.
Anyone know what the "End repayment program" button does? I am assuming it makes them not pay you anymore, why would anyone click that?

You seem to be doing it correct, at least the mining part. I am guessing the difficulty is fixed since you actually were able to find a block using a CPU with Scrypt, something that hasn't been possible since 2011. Make sure you correctly sync'd to the right network. Using http://testnet.litecointools.com/ the block should be over 1106623. I am thinking that you maybe connected to some old node that isn't sync'd properly. What block header do you have shown? Any reason why you are doing this? There are some coins you can actually GPU mine these days like XMR and ETH which can make a profit at least. CPU mining LTC is a waste of time right now. |

Been a while since I last traded XRP. I missed the original pump that started at 4000 Sats and missed the 5000 Sat support area a few days back. So I added some right here at 5150 Sats and got orders for more at 4900-5000 Sats.
I think its time for XRP to run like it did back in the crazy bull market. Its got some news and I think we formed a low in the past month.
Only issue with this trade is where to put the stops, after 4900, there is nothing until 4600 Sats and then until 4000 Sats and it could lead to huge losses if there is a wick, especially on Bitmex.
Still in this trade and I had another order sitting at 5000 Sats which filled so my average is around 5050 Sats, so sitting at a loss currently. Really didn't like that nasty spike we got but I think the 5000 level should hold. If the 4800 level doesn't hold, I will cut the loss and most likely add at 4600 sats depending on price action or just wait and see if it goes to the 4000 sats area. Very choppy waters we are in. |

Statistically around 95% of all traders end up losing money. This is based on stock, futures and forex trading, however I am pretty sure Crypto isn't too far off.
The shorter the time frames you trade the harder it is to make money, I think that day traders who are succesful and do it full time are less than 1% of all active traders.
The longer time frames, it becomes easier to predict the market however most people don't have the patience or capital to wait that long to make some money. So most people prefer to trade on margin and want money in an hour or a day and they usually end up losing in the long term.

💰 Wow! Look at this massive profit of 2 Bitcoin from a payout multiplier of 99x! Retweet this post and comment your Primedice username and 3 people will win $3 each!  I wonder how much was the capital of those who have win in a huge multiplier. And how much did they actually won I mean they wouldn't get it on just 1 try so I wonder how many times did they do it in order to win. I haven't checked the stats on this yet but I wouldn't be surprised if they took a bunch of bets prior which were all loses and their win isn't exactly a full 2 BTC. Usually when there is a large win like this with very small odds of winning the gambler has been placing bets for a while and they are either at break-even or sitting at a small loss. I have tried to bet like this before and usually if I am betting at 1% win chance, I would take almost 100 bets and they are all losses and when I finally got a winning bet, I would just quit. I think this strategy works best if you win somewhere in the first 25 bets or so and then you got a better edge. |

December 2017 hack was probably an inside job--->sell high, refund through repayment program just like cryptopia hack February 2019 hack--->buy low, refund users in fiat with a lot of deductions(hack, expenses etc.) they all stink of inside job, they know stuff, they know how things work and they think they can get away with it...with so much money on their hands it was irresistibly tempting. if they are gone, someone will simply replace them. How did they know that Bitcoin would peak in Dec 2017 so they could refund by buying back cheaper coins in the bear market? They couldn't. I think its just a coincidence that they got hacked right at the peak. From what I remember they got some share holder or some company to lend them money so they could start the repayment program, it happened when BTC was pretty high (i think in 5 digits somewhere). What would they do if BTC eventually went to $100,000 a coin? They would have to pay more to refund thru repayment program? It just doesn't make sense. |

From what I understand the algo will be CPU friendly but also GPU, FGPA and very easy to fabricate an ASIC for in the near future.
The algo won't be memory hard like DaggerHashimoto.
The threat of ASICs will only exist if ETC ends up actually being worth spending millions for to design an ASIC, since its not cheap. So I guess they don't worry about this now, maybe in the near future.
Should be an interesting developement none-the-less.

I think the reason why it caused a recent surge was due to short squeeze and that whitepaper patent news. However I don't think this coin has a chance really in surviving long term because the network has issues.
A few months back there was some reorgs happening and it didn't look like an double spend attack, it was just due to network speeds and due to the huge size of the blockchain.
Like others have said before, increasing the block size is not the answer but the solution is to have layered solutions like lightning network. Everybody on the planet doesn't need to store microtransations when people are buying coffee with crypto or tipping each other pennies in twitter posts.

Things like USDT are not actually stable coins, IMO. The reasons are even they worth nearly one dollar for each USDT or USDC, but USDT actually built on the bitcoin network, and it is bitcoin-second-layered altcoin, nothing more. It means USDT is very vulnerable to any kind of changes on Bitcoin network, such as network congestions, or fee fluctuations. Whenever serious things occur on Bitcoin network, we will also see serious things occur with USDT.  USDT is using the Omni layer of Bitcoin network so I don't think its actually considered second-layer. Second layer would be more like the lightning network where you can do transactions outside of the Bitcoin network but with Omni network you still need to do it on the main network. The only benefit is added security due to the huge bitcoin hashrate. Back in Q4 2017 it was actually annoying using USDT because you had to pay the same fees as with BTC, sometimes as high as $50 just to send a single transaction so you are correct. However right now USDT is used on the ETH network and I think EOS or TRON (forget which) also added a USDT option, so that issue is pretty much handled right now. The only time there were issues with USDT was due to Bitfinex FUD, where people were assuming Tether was a fraud and it would go to $0 and caused massive premiums compared to fiat. |

The market's have been having a rough week but Bitcoin still holding around the $8.000 mark Let's wait and hope for the price rise with next bull run for BTC. Are you going to HODL or withdraw it now afraid of some drops?  I am pretty sure most people who have been here since 2018 have either sold or at least sold a portion of their BTC when it was like $5800 or so because everybody assumed that $6000 would be strong resistance. Right now if you got any BTC left you are better off just hodling it and hope for the 5 digit soon, that way if you sold some of your stack too early at $5800 you can get a better average. But I am surprised we actually broke $4200 in April and would of never guessed we would touch $9000 so quickly. So I am hodling the rest and hoping for 5 digits soon. |

I think the coin might be a success but not from an investment point of view since it will be pegged to fiat currencies.
When someone sells something on the marketplace they can get paid in Globalcoin, and then when they want to buy something they can pay with Globalcoin. In the future the Globalcoin might get accepted by retails like Amazon even.
This is good because paying with cash isn't always ideal. Some people never carry cash and when buying high valued items its risky. Also it eliminates the need for credit card vendors, so it eliminates any fees. Credit card fees are like 2% or so and this way it would be free.

And if you wait for the transition to ETH POS it will be possible to receive passive income, of course if you have 32ETH. It's all theory, and as will be in practice, nobody knows.
Yes your passive income will be in ETH, not in US dollars which is what the main poster is trying to achieve. This is why its not always great to invest in masternodes, because yes you will get more altcoins but if the value of the underlying altcoin actually goes down with respect to the US dollar, you lose money anyways. And who knows when ETH will actually transistion to POS, they are always slow in development and always miss deadlines. It could be another 2-3 years before we get the full POS. |

PLEASE READ! It has become evident that there is clearly quality issues with the fans Gigabyte's Windforce series graphics cards. I have come across hundreds of forum posts with people claiming they have had the following issues: - Loud fan noises - Fans failing to spin - Bearing failures - Fans hitting other internal components Upon attempting to return their faulty graphics cards to Gigabyte or their retailer in which they purchased them from, many have experienced complete denial of any issues with the fans, some have been told they were using them for GPU mining - when they weren't, and many have still experienced the same issues after the repaired or replaced graphics card has been returned to them. In my case, I was unlucky enough to purchase 120 of these graphics cards for my IT business to sell - So far, we have had over half of these fail which has caused irreparable damage to my business as my customers who purchased the graphics cards did not want to use any Gigabyte products anymore and demanded refunds. Since returning the faulty cards to my supplier only 4 weeks after purchasing them, I was completely denied of any refund and the cards were eventually repaired and sent back to me. Although offering a warranty repair is a better outcome than nothing, these cards have been still experiencing the same issues so they have absolutely no resale value - I mean, who would purchase a graphics card that can't even survive 4 weeks out of a 3 year warranty? I have since engaged a lawyer and will be taking the matter further. The reason I have started this petition is because I know that there are potentially thousands of people who have experienced this poor quality issue from Gigabyte. For Gigabyte to turn around and deny any quality issues is absolutely unacceptable. I mean, google even has an autocorrect for "gigabyte windforce fan issues". As far as I am aware, this only involves the Windforce series graphics cards - but could involve others. If your Gigabyte graphics card contains the word "Windforce" this could affect you! If you have personally experienced any issues with these graphics cards - please get in contact with me Please share!! http://chng.it/G9phQGSNI've dealt with the bad Gigabyte Windforce fans since the 2013 Litecoin mining days when the Radeon 7950/7970 were constantly throttling due to at least 1 fan failing. These are the ones with the triple fan setup. They said that since it has 3 fans it would run cooler, quieter and fans are more durable, completely untrue. I would RMA them and a few months later, same issue. It was usually the fans closest to the opposite of the DVI+HDMI outputs section for some reason. Your best bet is just to pull the blade and re-oil them monthly or as needed, and it usually gets them going again. I think the reason why they fail in mining rigs is due to being mounted vertically instead of horizontally like in a PC case, it causes more stress and they die prematurely. |

As far as I can recall there was only one time when the KYC was actually used and from what I understood it was because the user made a large deposit, made 1 bet, and tried to do a withdraw.
The withdraw was flagged for some reason because the deposit had a taint. Was some stolen coins or some mixed coins or some other shady past. So they required KYC to protect themselves in case any issues arose from that initial deposit.
However for most people I am pretty sure they won't go thru this ordeal unless the deposit comes from a weird source. This is understandable.

We are all holding coins which are 99% from ATH, basically no point in selling those coins and no point in buying more either to get a better average.
Sure some will eventually turn into 100% losses but some might recover and those that recover might make some losses back.
Reason why its not always smart to buy more to average in is because if a coin is at 99% from ATH, there is usually a reason why and its usually because its dying and its a risky buy.
