Every forum has a notification function. When somebody quotes you or replies to your thread you will get notification. Why I can't find such a function here?  Im pretty sure the new forum will have fancy stuff like this. I would like that myself, but there is a problem, most of the fancy stuff requires javascript, and I would not be using javascript anyway. Honestly I would prefer the forum to stay simple and clean as it is, just like I would prefer bitcoin to stay simple and clean as it is. The less fancy stuff the more robust it becomes. Just visit your last posts for any replies. |

Oh I see there's an actual list already. So the only way to hit a new record would be to become Legendary right at the last term (1030)... that's insanely difficult, I doubt we will ever see that. There's also the 775 activity record to be beaten. I got it pretty early myself but im sure it wasn't 775. |

I just wondered about a funny statistic... what has been the unluckiest Hero Member (as in, an Hero Member that takes the longest amounts of activity points to reach Legendary) have you ever seen? I saw this guy right there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459836An Hero Member with 938 Activity, I've never seen one with this high activity before. As far as I can remember, the Legendary rank is reached randomly from 775 to 1030, let's see if he makes a new record and reaches it right at the last term before 1030  |

If you really do believe that bch is king, then you should sell it before it price corrects, because it will.
If it's a pump and dump(which it is showing all signs that it is), the price will drop.
If there are legitimate investors moving to bch because segwit didn't work out, then it will still drop.
Any commodity, stock, and crypto can not sustain such growth. Eventually, it will price correct.
So sell it now, and if you still believe in it, buy more when the price dips.
I personally, think that bch will never replace btc.
I'm in the camp that believes btc will never be replaced until an entirely different decentralized crypto with better tech comes along to replace it.
The ironic thing of this, is if you do the opposite of what others say and do than all of the advice in this thread is kind of moot.
It is nothing more but a pump and dump. It's going to become obvious in the following days. Everyone is running for their wallets in order to dump before the big dump comes. Don't forget Brian Armstrong is holding millions worth of Bitcoin on Coinbase... very dangerous to keep holding it for the long term. There's nothing new or exciting about Bitcoin Cash, it has no real support beyond bitcoin.com and chinese miners. |

I was trying to sync a Bitcoin Cash (Bitcoin ABC node) and it is so freaking slow, incremental % of blockchain download is at 0.02%... how im supposed to ever sync the blockchain like that? Is there any way to speed up the process? by the time it syncs, the pump will be over again!

news is coming after b2x fork there is another fork in december named with bitcoin silver what u think obout it?
These forks are pretty irrelevant, just like Bitcoin Gold. If a fork uses a different hashing algorithm, some call them "friendly forks" because they don't compete for the same hashrate as the original BTC uses (sha256) so it's not a problem. Enjoy the free coins, that's all that there's to it. |

I find it very difficult to keep seeing the bigger picture when there are so many new projects. For instance the airdrop and ico branch. Overwhelming! Is this also a problem for my fellow crypto enthousiastics?
It is simply physically impossible to track all of the new altcoins that keep appearing. You would need to hire an entire team to keep studying new altcoins and filtering the bullshit from the good projects which unfortunately are very few. If you try to do it by yourself, you will see that there are not enough hours in the day. So many shitcoins out there only make it more obvious that bitcoin is the king. There are currently 3,812 different publicly traded stocks in the US alone. You don't have to research and keep track of every single one of them to invest in the stock market. The same goes for altcoins--there's no need for most people to keep track of every last new altcoin that comes out. I would suggest picking a few sectors that you are knowledgeable about or interested in and stick with those. The good projects that fall into an area of interest will probably stand out to you and be good candidates for further research. How are you not going to need to invest your time researching as many tokens as possible to find a good one? the more time you spend researching new projects the higher chances you have at finding a hidden gem that may (or not) go x100 on your initial investment. There is no easy way out. If someone comes up with an amazing project it's going to remain hidden for a long time until the rest of people catch up simply because there are tons of altcoins out there, so you must put in the work to research ideally every single one that comes out, but since you can't, do what you can. |

Digusting Coinbase tricksters are trying to maintain uncertainty until the last second: https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/928476503062462464We are actively monitoring today’s update on Bitcoin Segwit2x and will provide an update in the coming days. Unbelievable. Even after everyone backs out they still give some half assed reply. Maybe some of these idiots are holding segwit2x futures. |

Well, it looks like we have another new player. I don't know how this would end but the project sounds interesting. It sort of reminded me of what Piratebay did. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bittorrent-creators-chia-could-fix-bitcoin-with-own-altcoin-by-late-2018BitTorrent creator Bram Cohen has debuted his “solution” to Bitcoin which he says resolves “centralization problems” with the virtual currency.
Speaking to TechCrunch Wednesday, Cohen explained his Chia Network would offer more reliable, eco-friendly mining and security measures.
The developer has been famously critical of Bitcoin this year as the network suffers slow and expensive transaction processing.
“The idea is to make a better Bitcoin, to fix the centralization problems,” Cohen told the publication.
Employing a concept called proof-of-time, as opposed to proof-of-work, Chia relies on a two-step block authentication method.
The three “weightiest histories” found by full nodes are relayed to “farmers,” not miners. These find “the best proof of space they have,” after which proof-of-time servers begin validation and publish a verified block to the network.
This procedure should take away mining power from a select few miners, as occurs with Bitcoin, Cohen says.
“It’s technically ambitious and there’s a big meaty chunk of work to do. I’ve done enough raising money and recruiting. Now for the real work,” he added.
While Bitcoin continues to find stability after its latest hard fork was canceled by developers this week, Cohen maintains a late-2018 or later release for his altcoin will still be timely.
He is not alone in his plans, with MegaUpload creator Kim Dotcom likely to beat him to issuing a cryptocurrency, this time for his own decentralized file sharing network. Dotcom’s Bitcache will be 100 percent Bitcoin-supportive, however, having an integrated wallet for users.
"“The idea is to make a better Bitcoin, to fix the centralization problems,”" Oh here we go, another illuminated saint that will bring us a better bitcoin. I thought that he would come up with a way to improve bitcoin, but he wants to sell us his own cryptocurrency (another one). I thought Bram Cohen wasn't a shitcoin scammer. I guess it will be another ICO?... let's wait and see what he has to offer, but everyone that claims to have a solution for bitcoin's problems has not delivered yet. |

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/segwit2x/Wow, take a damn look at that! That's one big crash if I ever saw one. I can't believe it's value is still not $0, which is what this coin is worth now. How long will it go? I think the only people that didn't sell now, are newbies that aren't paying attention to the news, or people that are sleeping.

The payment has been finally received.
About the new rules.. I dont know what was my average. I will try to make around 70 posts a month, I have a job and sometimes I don't have much time to post, but I will try to reach 70, I hope 70 is ok.

Anyone knows what is the definitive amount of POSw that one would need in order to be able to run a Masternode and what kind of gains would it deliver? I have a decent amount of POSW but I may increase it to meet Masternode demands, I just don't know if im near that amount ro not. I've heard anywhere from 10k to 50k POSW.
Big updates coming next month so I want to be ready.

be careful because bitconnect is a ponzi sheme and their model is not sustainable!
your investment will doubl every 6 months until their pyraidal construction burst!
Yep.. it looks like it to me upon further inspection. Just the typical "keep your money here and you will double your money in X time!!" also "bring your friends for extra money!!" https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@jenny143/bitconnect-scam-with-proofI hope that BitConnect has good lawyers, because if it goes wrong it could be pretty brutal. Im not here to claim 100% this is a scam because I don't know for sure, but anything that delivers returns, unless heavily regulated like stocks that deliver dividends... or completely decentralized so there's no point of exit scam risk.. should raise alarms. |

I was considering getting into the ethconnect ico in 3 days time but changed my mind and will do something almost as risky. I plan to put $5010 in bitconnect and make a 179 day loan with +0.20% daily bonus. Rather than reinvesting the daily interest of $45 odd I will buy alt coins - bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin and lisk with bitconnects daily profits. If bitconnect doesn't go down in 6 months I will get back my $5010 and will also have about 8k invested in altcoins. Any thoughts (apart from "it's a pyramid and you will loose your investment")?  Peace I have no idea about Bitconnect, but it just keeps going higher and it goes up against BTC too which is important. Are the payments of these loans decentralized, or you need to trust a centralized website like for example Poloniex loans? If you want to take high risk:high reward moves... Poswallet is an interesting bet. The price has bottomed and soon they will add upgrades which will be attractive for all PoS coin users, and ETH will go PoS eventually (not really sure when) but it will, and I think Poswallet could become a website where newbies can stake their coins without the annoyance of running their own full wallets. Therefore, I see a good use case for this coin, and if it fulfills its promise, it's definitely undervalued. |

I don't know what half of these coins are. My current list:
BTC: Long term coin hold. Your 70% portfolio should be BTC
LTC, XMR, ETH: Medium-Long term altcoins (I don't really like ETH, but I think it will pump)
Risky speculative holds that may pump and deliver pretty good gains: PIVX, STRAT, NEO, OMG, MAID, POSW, WTC...
But remember, BTC is king.

I saw the news a couple hours ago of how GBminers dropped support for the New York Agreement. It was indeed the case, 2 blocks didn't cointain NYA blockversion signaling, but latest block shows NYA again: https://btc.com/stats/pool/GBMinersIm not sure what they are playing at, but stay alert, the scammers will try to make you think B2X is BTC and you may lose your coins. |

Forgive me for my poor understanding and allow me what is probably a stupid question.
The private key methodology seems to me to be highly dependent on a a very large pool of random numbers for which it is assumed that there can be no collisions (i.e. the probability of 2 or more people having the same private key is as good as impossible (not impossible, just very low possibility)
Doesn't this mean that a crypto (coin, token) can be the victim of its own success because when more people have wallets for that crypto, the probability of guessing a legitimate private key increases?
Just for example, let's say that I have a 1 in 1000000 chance of guessing correctly for 1 wallet user. If there are 2 wallet users, my chances have doubled to 1 in 500000. If there are 4, my chances now are 1 in 250000.
For this example, if the crypto is popular and gets 500000 wallet users, I have a 50 percent chance of randomly guessing a private key!
I'm probably getting something wrong somewhere, so I'm hoping someone could help.
It's simple: You have more chances of getting hit by an asteroid in your head than you have finding a private key by bruteforcing trying to find a collision. There's a project that constantly tries to get private addresses that surpassed 1000 trillion addresses: https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/statsThey claim 3 were achieved, with funds on them. I claim this points at wallet bugs rather than a legit collision. |

i find this post in Meta Section please read it Before waste your money Anyone can create a Bitcoin-derived altcoin like "Bitcoin Gold" (BTG) at any time with no cost. BTG is a scammy cash-grab with no ideology and no economic support, not something serious like Bcash was. That's not to say that it's impossible to make money by trading it, just like with other scamcoins, but I'm not going to get into the habit of writing announcements and guidance for every Bitcoin-derived scamcoin. If you want to do a dangerous replay-unprotected coin-split maneuver in order to claim tiny fractions of your BTC in airdrop value, that's on you.
I will write a guide later for B2X (split time in mid-November), which is more serious. After that, the bar is going to be awfully high to get me to announce similar things.
Bitcoin Gold is a premined scamcoin, everyone knew this since day 1, but it got pumped a lot in social media, newbies saw it and newbies love free money so they got interested and bought BTC, then we got a post-fork dump, and now it's recovering again and all the idiots that bought altcoins are going to get smashed into the ground when Bitcoin hits $6200 rather soon. Surprised to see theymos not calling BCash a straight scam too tho, but I get what he tried to say. |

This Past Day I was Trap At SW Coin or Sky Way Coin is there any possibilities of holding it ? Did you RESEARCH what you were buying before buying it? If your coin as an active dev team, and has something unique to offer, trying to fill a niche that has not been tapped yet (such as online staking, as proposed by POSW aka Poswallet) then you can hold this coin because sooner or later there will be a pump above your entry points. But if your coin has absolutely nothing to offer, you are basically waiting for a miracle. Sometimes, dead coins pump huge amounts. For example, Bitstar, Fibrecoin, and other coins that were basically dead, got pumped %1000 in Poloniex before they got delisted, those that were lucky to still be holding it made big gains. |
