Crash. PBOC bans Renminbi/Crypto conversions.

That only applies to ETH.



AMP has the fanciest whitepaper ever. And nothing delivered, except a Chrome plugin.

That is like saying that Whatsapp is only a shitty mobile app. Well look at how many users it has (Hint: 1.2 billion) Cheesy

Wildspark can easily hit that level in my view Cheesy

for me steemit is kind like a combination of reddit and medium.
with the extra of POSm - proof of social media.

been enjoying posting videos and creating new articles for the website.

https://steemit.com/@lucasgabd

The comment section is kind of messy, I wish Steemit would have a comment box similar to that of Reddit, which is more organized with the (+)(-) buttons and nested comments. For example Reddit's comment box kind of sends you to a different thread after the nests grow deep. In steemit the comments can be very long and hard to read if all of them are on 1 page. It needs to be like how it's on reddit.



agreed
maybe this can be corrected in a future hardfork?

It doesnt need a hardfork, that is just the UI system of Steemit.com.

They are already planning something big very soon, I heard the mobile app will be redesigned together with the website to make it more user friendly:

Huh What do you think will the Metropolis Update do to Ethereums price? I read somewhere that it might not cause a big increase in price at all.

I don't think ETH will behave like that anymore,
it will rather react to things like BTC does, as in: absorb shocks quite well and go up at a faster rate for a longer period after good news.
The days of 100% jumps in a couple of days are over, but this is good.
Slow and steady wins the race.



Eth got hammered hard, but no worries I think it will recover in 2-3 weeks.
664  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AMP - The Currency That Powers Your Attention On Synereo on: September 08, 2017, 03:21:26 PM
Synereo should really switch from Omni to ETH.

I disagree. While ETH is useful and nice, it doesn't have the security that Omni +  BTC provides.

From my understanding AMP will have it's own internal wallet for Wildspark and other future projects so the TX cost won't really matter, plus it will go down anyway as BTC got into segwit and possibly Omni will follow that integration too.

ETH doesnt provide the stability and the security a grandiose project like this needs. Synereo has tons of plans to build a totally decentralized envionment here.

Eth is heavily controlled and influenced by the Eth foundation and Vitalik. That sounds like the opposite.
665  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AMP - The Currency That Powers Your Attention On Synereo on: September 08, 2017, 03:18:48 PM
Brutal sell-off today across the market. We're actually not doing too bad compared to some of the others!  Grin

Best looking horse in the knacker's yard we are.

I know, I have been telling this for weeks now. AMP is really at the best position now to buy into it in my view.

It's cheaper than ever and it has only potential in it.

Today it should be worth atleast 100,000 satoshi, bare minimum, that is really the bare minimum AMP is worth right now in my analysis.

In the future it might be 500,000-1,000,000 satoshi easily. So x500 or x1000 price increase is really pretty probable given how much potential there is in this innovative sector.

Open your eyes. AMP is 4k satoshi, finally near its first support level at 3k.

Open your eyes, all silly ICO's get pumped, now they lose their value and become worth what they really are.

AMP was caught in the crossfire, but we are much better positioned than most of these scam ICO tokens.

AMP has a really product not just wishful thinking and a fancy whitepaper. While most of these ICO tokens get hammered, we will have an opportunity to grab investors away from ETH.

Is Monero's cryptonote technology quantum computer secure?

What is the threat regarding quantum computing being able to deanonimize monero users?

Nobody knows, quantum computing breaking cryptonight is least of our worries, if that happens anything we've encrypted with conventional algorithms will be broken and whole hell is break lose, bitcoin will fail, ssl will fail, everything will become plain text.
Is Monero's cryptonote technology quantum computer secure?

NONE are and BTC will be the first to fall, not even Suite B cryptography is!

The worlds cryptographers are working on new types as we speak. One promising method is polynomial cryptography. That is refereed to as Multivariate cryptography.

That is not the point.  I have talked to some Dash guys who are claiming that Monero is unscaleable and after the QC breaks cryptonote all transaction can be deanonymized after since the blockchain is public.

In Bitcoin this is no issue, since BTC doesnt promise forward security. But even if Monero uppgrades itself to quantum resistant cryptography, the transaction before that will still be deanonimized.

I am not saying that Dash is better or not, I am just saying that this is an issue for Monero, a huge issue. Any comments on this?

Good luck trying to snoop in using masternodes
Good luck trying to get the dev-team consisting of individual members to use their masternodes collectively to snoop in, thereby damaging the value of the Dash they hold and getting voted out on salary as result.


I'm not satisfied by that answer. If the connection between the nodes is not encrypted, then somebody monitoring the communication between the nodes can easily decypher it.

So I'll ask again:

I have 1 question though. Is the communication between mixing nodes encrypted well? Like with TLS or things like that? Because if it isn't, then say hello to permanent transaction records:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center

At which point, it's exactly the same problem as with Monero if the Monero blockchain is decrypted by QC.

I WAS HACEKD !!!!

I locked in 20 im ago into the new EtherDelta site. I lost 500 Populos and 32000 MTH Token and 6 Ether.....



https://etherdelta.com ?

yes...

I could follow the traces to : 0x62084eC8901faf5249a8f7fc2158a2c3e1A4209b  there are now 292.280952951530088593 Ether!

Is there a hero who you can bring the ethers back to there owners ! Huh

I was on SCAM Site : https://etherdelta.gitnub.io/#MTH-ETH

the problem does not came from https://etherdelta.com (but do not use may is also wrong I do not know)

----

Does soembody knows about SCAM EtherDelta:  https://etherdelta.gitnub.io/#MTH-ETH ? Who could help to get my Ether back ?

Who has stolen my and other Ethers, is using Ether-Address :  0x62084eC8901faf5249a8f7fc2158a2c3e1A4209b

Holy shit, that gitnub bitch site really needs to be removed.

I am cautious about the .com website as well for now, we don't know yet whether the twitter was hacked or not and this situation smells suspicious to me.

I have contacted the dev to verify whether the .com website is legit or not.
669  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: EtherDelta - Decentralized Token Exchange on: September 08, 2017, 01:52:40 PM
Same! ... EtherDelta has been running slow for a bit... I love the exchange though!

what do you mean etherdelta runing
etherdelta can't access http://etherdelta.github.io/, page not found

Looks like we have a situation here, the website is up now but the .com website I am not sure about.

Roll Eyes Don't use etherdelta.com for now  Roll Eyes
  wait until the old URL will be online again
                      or any clear announcement
             this looks like a hack

I just checked etherdelta.com with TOR and looked for my orders. They are NOT visible !!!
examples: BUY 100 BQX for 0.00140 and BUY 1000 IFT for0.000016591 (very unlikely that it had been filled last night)
however my SELL order for 1BCAP is visible

The most troubling thing is that there is exactly the same content / trading up and running at

Their twitter handle says the site has moved to new domain: etherdelta.com

I thought the main reason to host it on github in the first place was that github domain was almost impossible to hack. Then why switch to this new domain now?

I advice everyone to not import their private keys on etherdelta.com until we're absolutely sure of its trustworthiness.


We don't know whether the twitter account was hacked or not, this situation looks very suspicious to me.

Ok so we are talking about the privacy aspect of Dash let's not confuse things here.



So you and that article are claiming that Monero is not quantum resistant, which is nothing new, most coins arent.

Another one completely missing the core point of the article.

Here, just for you, one more time, maybe you'll understand it:

Quote
But wait: Aren't all cryptocurrencies done for with the advent of Quantum Computing?

Hardly. Bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies can safely transition to Quantum resistant encryption without compromising the security of their blockchain because it was transparent from the get go. CryptoNote/Monero however obfuscates its entire blockchain with QC-vulnerable encryption. Anyone with a copy of any CryptoNote blockchain (obviously this is the very nature of a distributed ledger) will be able to retroactively expose every transaction ever done with it. This cannot be mitigated after the fact because it's impossible to prevent someone from retaining an "unpatched" copy of the chain.

That is not the main issue that I have been pointing out.

Besides the probability of breaking cryptonote is very slim even with QC, I have researched this. So these claims are not entirely true.

If you have to "trust" Masternodes in Dash (you don't) then by the same flawed logic you have to "trust" full nodes in Bitcoin. Well do you? You should, I mean, aren't you afraid they might just drop your transaction from the mempool? Oops...


No it's not the same thing. Bitcoin doesn't sell itself as a privacy oriented cryptocurrency, the transactions are already visible on the blockchain so in bitcoin the nodes don't matter from a privacy standpoint.

In Dash you do have to trust the masternodes. If the masternode you are routing throug the transaction is snooping, then that instance is compromized.

And no: Nothing "falls apart" with "surveillance nodes", because you can't possibly amass enough to have any effect on PrivateSend. Read and weep or if you're too lazy, here's a picture with some numbers for you. No one in Dash owns 1000 Masternodes, but even if such an entity existed their chances of tracing a single PrivateSend mixed at 4 rounds is a measly 0.3%. Not even going to mention the chances at 8 rounds. Or the fact that you'd hurt the massive value of your own wealth in Dash by attacking the network you've got that insane amount of skin in (over 330M USD at current prices).

Yes and what is the probability that all 4 nodes are snooping? Remember the masternodes cost a lot of money to setup. And there are allegations that a lot of masternodes are controlled by the dev team.

So in this perspective the privacy of Dash relies solely on a tiny centralized group of masternodes. Which is bad.

Let's also not forget that PrivateSend is going to be completely restructured in Evolution and no longer rely on Masternodes anyway, but hey, why should I burst your bubble of Monero's "superiority" so soon?

That is a step in the right direction.





I have 1 question though. Is the communication between mixing nodes encrypted well? Like with TLS or things like that? Because if it isn't, then say hello to permanent transaction records:

I have been using Ether Delta for a while, mainly because it has coins that are not present at big exchanges yet.

Just now I notice something strange!
In the pair MTH-ETH the sell orders are higher than the buy orders.
Is this normal? Shouldn't the buy orders be fullfiled?



It's called arbitrage opportunity. It's basically free money for you if you buy the top one for 0.077 ETH and sell it back instantly below to a higher price.

I got the munchies again and bought another 75 PPT, slowly and steadily getting to my goal. I hope to get to 1k PPT before the Beta rolls out in November. This actually has been quite a stable token considering the crash we had in crypto a few days back. It's true PPT isn't get rich quick but its get rich at some time in the near future, probably in 2018 and beyond.

75 PPT?  That's peanuts Cheesy

I think everyone should buy at least 1000 PPT right now while it's cheap. Their luck won't last forever, the price won't be this cheap forever.
676  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AMP - The Currency That Powers Your Attention On Synereo on: September 07, 2017, 08:33:07 AM

I know AMP is my ace card, I got in ultra cheap, it can only go up from there.

It's an amazing project so I believe 100% that it will deliver all the expectations that I have, and then the price will skyrocket.
What makes this project amazing for you? Browser app for giving likes?
Why you think this could have any potential?
Look at current market cap...

You guys are clueless. Don't you see that all big social media giants are demonetizing and censoring people.

Most youtuber's ad revenue get slashed by 20-30-50%, they are struggling.

Wildspark does address this issue exactly and perfectly. Now video makers wont have to rely solely on ad revenue they can just amplify their video right after posting, making sure that they are the first in line.

Then everyone who amplifies it after that will supply the first amplifier with a solid revenue source.

It's a massive potential, and they've said that later they will support other platforms as well not just Youtube. It's a massive opportunity we have with AMP.

I can't believe people are so blind to not see it.

Your prediction looks crazy, but I'm with you. I follow Synereo since 2015. It is amazing project and I trust Synereo team.
In 2014 I was buying super cheap Darkcoins like hotcakes and look at Dash today. I believe now is the perfect time to buy more AMPs and HODL.

Don't compare a scam like AMP with Darkcoin/Dash , that's ridiculous.

AMP scam ? Why ?

Just ignore him. Kebab is a known troll, been trolling here for over 1 year. Nobody takes him seriously:

Sorry, I can not find your exchange on the list of coinmarketcap.com when I tried to find your trading volume, I do not why and I think it is better to show your trading volumes to the investors.

They are not market makers, they are takers, meaning that they take from the market makers on your behalf, possibly from different exchanges at the same time, at the best favorable rates to you. It's basically like a trading bot.

So the trading volume doesn't matter.

Dash and Monero have similar marketcaps right now.

I have heard that Monero has better anonymity than Dash with it's masternode setup.

What reasons do you guys suggest to use Dash instead of Monero, from a general user's point of view.

Why is Dash better than Monero if it is at all?


Both have advantages and disadvantages. Dash can scale to mass adoption levels fully decentralized at the protocol level and monero/zcash/btc can't.
Privacy only coins have their uses though, like having value as a Darknet currency, offshore type investment or money laundering on the fly. There is money to be made there but they can never scale to Digital Cash status like Dash, that is where the real money will be.

Dash's anon has also never been broken like other coins and its off-chain mixing is future proofed from Quantum computing which will eventually deanonymize the past of on-chain anon coins like monero etc.

......

Trolls incoming in 3 2 1.....


Hey I'm not a criminal, I don't do dark market crap, I am just purely interested in this from either a general user's point of view but also from an investor's point of view because I do hold some Monero and I might buy some more Dash soon.

So you and that article are claiming that Monero is not quantum resistant, which is nothing new, most coins arent.

One point I always find is that the Dash mixing system relies on trusted masternodes to mix, so basically if the nodes are surveillance nodes, then the whole Dash privacy fall appart as well doesn't it?

So it's not just that Monero's privacy scheme is not flawless but actually Dash's privacy is worse.


Now ignoring privacy I do see more value in Dash since it's a DAPP kind of currency with a very active community and it has more appeal than any other blockchain, perhaps 3rd in popularity after ETH.

So I'm not saying Dash doesn't have value, but on the privacy front it's not that good. In other aspects it can be quite good, like the scaling of it I heard is much smoother and better than BTC.
