I think that MN rewards come from POW after a block is found, its in the code that a % of the miner's reward will go to certain MN addresses....if a private pool gets enough hashrate they can essentially use their own code and deny that % to go to MN addresses or make it to where the reward will go to one of their masternodes.

This is how I understand it, please someone correct me if im wrong, always open to learn more.

Note that all these de-listings seem to be related to low volume or a non functioning chain, not having to do with the recent statements from the SEC on regulating exchanges that are trading "securities"....according to a recent statement from the ceo of pillar, bittrex and other exchanges are trying to justifiy trading several tokens by categorizing them as "utility" tokens...

MTL is the only one in the list that stands out to me, maybe this one somehow flirts with being a security?

all the crypto you spend to pay bills.....

imagine what all of it will be worth in 5 years? you will wish you had grinded a 9-5 instead, it sucks but imo hopefully it will be worth it


this makes me think of all those poor souls who quit their job to do bitconnect..

So probably i5 or better for any kind of substantial hashrate? Also i would guess it is almost not worth it with an i5?

I have never cpu mined before other than trying it out on verium, but whats the long term effect on the CPU? if you mined with an i7 for a year and then wanted to use it for general purpose computing would it have sub par performance?

nick szabo probably wrote the whitepaper and had the most to do with it in the early days....sheez he laid the foundation with bitgold

Thank god....for fuck sakes it was getting so ridiculous

I quit spending a lot of time on twitter in 2015 when i realized it was pretty much 80% people shilling their coins and then 20% actual good information

its really incredible how big of an impact crypto has become on social media, i cant imagine what it was like with the shilling of bitconnect on facebook..

$600 is a good starting point

whatever coin you find to invest in try and wait until the price is at a low (obviously right?) but you would be surprised how many new investors will just buy coins at their all time high

if the price of the coin is around or flirting with all time lows than its obviously a good time to buy

last piece of advice i say is to buy coins that you will earn interest on like POS coins, or masternode coins, better to be holding a coin that your earning on than just holding a coin that is just sitting there

Unless there is going to be constant surveillance of a possible signature campaign I wouldn't recommend it, I see so many bogus bots postings exploiting sig campaigns....and I would really be interested to see some statistics on what type of crowd still visits bitcointalk regularly. I would bet that most investors who got into crypto in 2017 do not come here.

its the whole market, i noticed several alts dump pretty hard vs btc yesterday only to recover rather quickly, so fast that i didnt have time to buy at those low levels

its odd though that in these days when btc goes down....so do the altcoins vs btc (not in usd)...in the past it was like alts would pump if btc was going down...dif markets these days i guess

still think ETC is a good buy at these prices

Great update and good read.

As a long term holder this is nothing new to see the team do these updates and share with the community where their plans for the coin are headed. To highlight some features of the teams last meeting.

-Targeting asian markets
-Working on implementing cutting edge crypto tech like segwit
-building new passive income methods in DMD

The diamond team isnt a passive one, they are always on top of what is going on in the crypto industry. After years of holding I have never been disappointed with the core devs decisions and work.

As for the price people shouldn't be worried, the whole market has been down and DMD is just following that trend. These levels were tested before only to break to the upside, not saying it will but the point is that DMD is still a good long term investment.

Thanks to the DMD foundation and team for the updates.

would like to add that if anyone is receiving MN rewards of 8.75 it doesnt mean that you are on the wrong chain or anything, its from private pools trying to deny MN payments, try to find the wallet of the miner reward from the TX id and post that wallet address in here or in discord.

will be happy when all these attacks end and the coin can move on

I dont think you need to delete any files just make sure you are on v 1.2.2 and let wallet sync, we don't have a set block to be at cause technically there isnt a correct chain yet, they are still waiting for everyone to update from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2

sheezuz there has been like 20 augmented reality token icos since last year, its getting so ridiculous, how does augmented reality have anything to do with crypto?

is it like all of these projects are going to have their own augmented reality world with their own token or something?

sheezuz here we go with the asian premium, factom trading $10 higher on bit-z than any other exchange.

375k sats on bitz
275k sats on polo

 


edit: looks more like someone just either fat fingered or just bought a huge bag of factom on bit-z

big news and probably the most anticipated thing in factom since its inception....price continues to drop 

thats ok with me, ill keep buying this extremely undervalued gem

Why do you call this scalping, are you taking a bunch of different positions at the same time on margin?

To me the term scalping means buying selling for really small gains like 1-5%....i could be wrong though

Even if it stops being traded it doesnt mean that its over, the chain will still run even if its delisted. As long as there are people running nodes the chain will live on. So if there are people out there stuck with bags of BCC and way down on their investment you should atleast stake your coins.

But I wouldnt get excited about staking it, if I remember correctly the distribution was something lopsided to reward staking in the initial periods....I think it was something like 50% for the first 6 months and then decreasing rapidly after that....which is a terrible inflation model for a coin 

They did this probably because they knew they would eventually exit scam and they wanted all those coins to get staked when the price was propped up from the lending scheme......god and even after they crush everyones dreams....sad.

Good point but given that there are several other coins out there that run pure POS/MN and do just fine I wouldnt worry too much about gpu miners leaving, DMD and PIVX are good examples of pure POS masternode coins that have done well.

god forbid anyone say anything negative about precious Neo before every 2017 crypto newbie bagholder comes in attack mode.....

cant say that i blame them..

but in my opinion Neo was just there at the right time right place with a rebrand and a lot of cheerleaders to grab alot of new money....it's no better than Waves at this point

for the record i hold 0 waves or neo
