6841  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what will happen if the ethereum price decline continues? on: August 22, 2019, 03:35:12 AM
in mid January 2018 ethereum was in the range of $ 1,377 and that was the highest achievement of ethereum prices in 2018. and in 2019 ethereum there was no significant change, at this time ethereum was still stable with prices fixed or in the range of $ 190.
if the ethereum price decline continues, it looks like the tokens generated from the ethereum platform will not have high selling points and most likely the project developers will also no longer use ethereum's platform. isn't the end like that?

Why pointing out Ethereum only, all coins that have their all-time high back 2017, still haven't regain their all-time high or even half of it, I don't see a continuous decline of its price, it's actually better now that when 2019 entered, and I still see new and existing IEO and ICO using and accepting Ethereum, and use Eth's smart contract.

If Bitcoin rally at $15k and Ethereum did not reach $300, then we can talk of decline, but not at this point of time.
6842  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will "satoshi" ever login again? on: August 22, 2019, 02:21:13 AM
Do you think "satoshi" will ever just randomly log in one day and post something?

It seems as if that would be the only way for "satoshi" to ever be proven to be who he is.


I think that it will never happen. It would be too dangerous for him, the whole world would be after him.
This is not the only way to prove his identity beyond any doubt BTW, he can move his BTC.

Theymos already stated that his account is locked and he needs a signed PGP to prove that he is Satoshi, and about moving the Bitcoin, there's no hint that he still owns his private key, but there's a guy who comes out that claims to be Nakamoto, and he also claims that he lost his private keys.

Login on his account here is out of the question, movements from his wallet seem to be unlikely as there is still no hint that he can move it, the theory that he does not own the private keys to that wallet is strong.
6843  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto's reveal is a complete epic fail? on: August 21, 2019, 04:55:15 PM
The funny thing about all these Faketoshi's are that they are trying so hard to prove that they are Satoshi and that the real Satoshi never tried to reveal his/her or their real identity. Do you think after what happened with Dorian Nakamoto and CW, it would be a good experience for anyone to go through to try and reveal your true identity?

The first people to knock on your door will be the tax authorities and the Federal reserve and then all the criminals in this world will start hunting you, because all of them wants to get their hands on those coins.  Roll Eyes

I agree with you Bitcoin has billions of dollar marketcap and Bitcoin is so huge that if I am the real Satoshi Nakamoto I will be afraid to reveal myself because of the dangers that are attached to being Nakamoto, you mentioned one example Dorian Nakamoto, this guy is very comfortable  telling all this story without thinking of the consequences.
This story will end with the guy promoting another version of Bitcoin just like what Craig did.

You might find better chances if you post this thread in Project Development[1] or Services[2] if you want to pay them with BTC. A lot of copywriters also post their services thread over there.

[1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=12.0
[2] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

Thank you very much for advise - quite new in posting here, so didn't know a better place. Will do as you suggested Smiley

Bitcointalk is where you get investors and leads and why did not take time to study how this forum works, you should have got an account here first and communicate to the community before launching or building your team for your ICO.

This goes to all planning to launch their ICO include Bitcointalk to your plan do not make it your last options because this is where you are likely to launch your ICO and do bounty campaign.
6845  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would this finally be a real Satoshi? on: August 21, 2019, 02:59:18 PM
The most shocking part for me is when he loses his wallet.dat
a quote from the article
Quote
My everything was in that hard drive!  It was military-grade encrypted and password protected, so I was overly confident – to the point of being arrogant – that the techie guys could not have access to my HDD data.  That’s why I left the HDD inside the laptop and didn’t take it out.  The laptop came back by courier a few days later and it contained a new HDD and, of course, the bitcoins weren’t there

Of course, they will replace it with a new HDD because you never instruct them not to replace the HDD, now one thing that baffles me is why did he not request the old  HDD to be sent, there are new software now that can retrace those files, now the laptop company knows that they have billion dollars worth of Bitcoin in one of their customer's hard drive, that are in their position, in case they still did not destroy those harddrives.
6846  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Burn Satoshis coins to end the threat of prices crashing - Paxful Founder on: August 21, 2019, 02:09:20 PM
Paxful founder Ray Youssef has tweeted a bizzare idea in which he wants the community to burn Satoshis coins, so the threat of prices crashing due to Satoshi revealing himself and selling his coins goes away. While I understand that if Satoshi were to sell his coins crypto prices indeed will crash, but in the end it’s his creation and his coins no one should decide for him. What are your thoughts on this should the community support this bizzare idea, or voice their opinion and keep Satoshis coins safe?.

Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/paxful-founder-makes-wild-proposal-161450915.html
The threat is unfounded and there's still no hint on the possibility that it will ever be moved, remember Bitcoin's all-time high reaches $20 k if you have one million Bitcoin you'll be 20 billion richer or even more if you cash it out although the possibility to cash out is very hard.

I will not support it, let him have his shares as a form of royalty for what he has done to the world
Bitcoin's price will definitely crash but we are afraid of something that is still a speculation, we cannot establish if he still alive or he still own his private keys.
6847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Favorite Dice Game Platform on: August 21, 2019, 12:49:05 PM
Every gambling site has its own Dice game, each one has a different interface, what is your favorite dice game platform,
and why, it could be the color or the design and the server.

I'm lucky playing on these two Dice games:
One Hash and Bethash, I like their interface and design server is also fast everything on these two dice game platform are perfect.
One hash : has a lot of games to offer to the players and there's always new contest to attract more players to deposit and play
Bethash; I like their profit-sharing you can stake their own coin and share the profit of their pool and there's a lot of prizes to be won when you reach a certain level in playing or betting in their platform.
6848  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What If Satoshi Actually Lost His Private Keys on: August 21, 2019, 12:21:16 PM
Satoshi can't log in to his forum account, afaik theymos is the only one who have access to satoshi's account. Also signing messages from a bitcoin address is not the only way for him to prove he's the real Satoshi.

If his account becomes active and starts posting I believe it's him since he's given enough proof to theymos.

His account is locked, so no. If he wants to claim his account, he'll have to contact me with a PGP signature.

Then there is a possibility that he cannot prove that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the only way he can do that is only by  access of his Bitcoin through private key, but I am not going to believe that he will lose or can't access his own private key, he is the creator of Bitcoin he is the first to know that losing your private key means losing all your coins.

He is good at keeping his identity so I am pretty sure he is also good at keeping his private key.
6849  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins should focus more on technology on: August 21, 2019, 01:00:05 AM
They should be and I think some legit projects are now doing it that, and they are making progress, developers are still confined in creating a new token creation platform, because of the issue of scalability each platform are facing.

Ethereum founder Buterin just admitted that Ethereum scalability is full and they might use other platform's chain, those top coins in the market who are also token contract-based are all challenging Ethereum dominance in the market over them.
6850  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: you can be the richest man in the world if you travel to 2013 time machin on: August 20, 2019, 05:38:01 PM


what would be the first thing to do and how to buy bitcoin where to hold which currency want to get and how do you plan to do that  Roll Eyes

Why 2013 when you can travel at the time Bitcoin was just created why not 2009, they have a Bitcoin faucet back then, you can work on that Faucet as long as you can and get thousands of Bitcoin or spend $1000 and that $1000 will soon become a fortune to you, and if your time machine can go forward you can go to 2017 and sell you got from that year and live abudantly
6851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what's behind the fraud project? on: August 20, 2019, 05:30:54 PM
since 2018-2019 almost thousands of projects have ended in fraud and many tokens have died or no further development.
but I think there must be other reasons why the project ended in fraud, other than project funds were not collected according to the specified targets or project funds were taken by the team.

I assume that the developer and prize manager work together and intentionally promote fraud projects for investors. sorry no offense!
Yes that's what's really happening, scammers have found their way in the Cryptocurrency, after the inception of ICO, nonregulation, and decentralization, scammers are easy to get in, if you have the money you can make 1000% profit by stagging an ICO and faking everything, because these scammers can hire people to develop his ICO from freelancer market like Fiverr.

The only positive thing is we are forced to educate ourselves so we can trace these fraud projects and protect our funds.
6852  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: MasterCard is forming its own crypto team on: August 20, 2019, 03:32:41 PM
MasterCard is forming its own crypto team, The payment solutions company has called for applications to work in the dynamic intersection of cryptocurrencies and payments in its recruitment listing. Mastercard added that the hired people will monitor ecosystem trends in cryptocurrency as well as develop upcoming products and solutions. hope you remembered facebook's Libra too. it's no news that crypto is nothing but the future . we are getting there

After Facebook we now have Mastercard Paypal is also planning, there are an old saying old roads lead to Rome, now every company wants to have its own coin or token, the community's work has been cut off because of these companies, now if people are going to ask what is Cryptocurrency, we just have to ask them do you have MasterCard or Facebook, check out their own cryptocurrency.
6853  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you willing to spend your time just for fraud projects? on: August 20, 2019, 12:36:11 PM
I was quite surprised by the bounty hunters, why they were willing to spend their time on fraud projects.
I observe a project that clearly has a bad reputation or warning (SCAM) in their gifts and also the team has a red trust, but many still believe and even take part in it?
Isn't it clear that their project is not good?
Are you willing to spend time just for fraud projects?
I do not!

I'll also get surprised if bounty hunters will continue to promote fraud projects, nobody in his right mind will invest in fraud projects, they are promoting it because they have no idea or do not know that they are promoting a scam project.

But it's promoting at your own risk, bounty hunters should always check the scam sections if they have a report on that section, always do due diligence, always check if the announcement thread is moderated, a transparent project should not have a moderated thread, investors and bounty hunters should question it.
6854  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Libra the future anyone wants? on: August 20, 2019, 02:49:02 AM
Libra has raised fears about the future of blockchain mainly because it goes against everything the community wants and believes in: decentralization.

Facebook could ultimately create a massive closed-loop revenue model from ads, digital marketplace, to payments. Do consumers want to bet on the status quo of existing monoliths?


https://elixxir.io/blog/is-libra-the-future-anyone-wants

It's not what the community wants, but it's what Facebook wants to feed to us, and we all know that massive advertising and propaganda can make things a reality and make the community embrace it.
Facebook has a long run of success on what they are offering to us and they will concentrate all their resources here to make us embrace and support it, even though we don't want it.
6855  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think 40% bonus is too much for early Investors? on: August 20, 2019, 12:33:27 AM
In some cases where a token price crashes soon after listing on the Exchange, the blames has over time been attributed to the bounty hunters and sometimes to early investors that received certain bonuses.

Do you think 40% bonus for early investors is too much and capable of crashing token price?
This is one of the bad practices of developers, they want the sales to take off, so they offer this very high bonus, I even saw one ICO in the past giving 60% bonus, this is a bad future scenario and invites investors to dump for profit once the token hit the market.
Then they blame the dump to bounty hunters who only has 2 to 5% of the total supply of the coin, this project will lose it's reputation.
6856  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: if anyone hacked your account then who is responsible??? on: August 19, 2019, 02:06:50 PM
if I've created account/wallet on coinbase or any other exchange then my account is hacked and my coins/money lost who are responsible for it
The Exchange where I've created account Huh
is it my mistake Huh
what's you thought about it Huh

and how i make my account safe  Huh


All exchanges have an option to secure your account like two-factor authentication, email verifications, or text verification, there is no way for the hacker, to hack your account if your account is fully secure.
people should educate himself on how to secure his computer, his wallet and his account on exchanges before accumulating coins, this is a must or you will find yourself with nothing left.
6857  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Creator and Developer Gone on: August 19, 2019, 01:37:11 PM
There are so many cryptocurrencies in the market.

If one day the creators and developers of any of these currencies die or bancrupt, what will happen to the currencies? What will happen to the coins we have? Are the coins we have still worth anything?

If these tokens are backed by companies, then the second developer can takeover or they can vote to nominate a new leader, it's not a one-man team, if it is a coin, any developer can take over the coin and the community, I have seen one coin, just got  out of extinctions because a new developer takes over the coin, as long as the token has nodes and the block explorer is still working, any developer can do take over.
6858  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you Bother of the latest Cryptocurrency price drop? on: August 19, 2019, 10:49:26 AM
The latest CryptoMarketCapitalization drop was surprised us all and most of the altcoins price was also drop deeper, if these trend will continue im afraid that the anticipated Bullrun wont happen in 2019. My million dollar question is whats the cause of these huge drop again in cryptocurrency prices? can these bring any harm to the crypto-market momentum.

People should not be bothered at all, Bitcoin at $10,700 we are in a better position than we are 8 months ago at $3700 that's a big leap if you are a buying big time at that level, but if you are just buying right now you have the right to be bothered, these apply to all altcoins I'm just giving example on Bitcoin's performance in the last 8 months.

Because Bitcoin's performance also reflects how the altcoins perform in the market.

6859  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Old Bounties VS New Bounties on: August 18, 2019, 05:43:39 AM
They both have their advantages and disadvantages

Old Bounties
1.You will have more confidence promoting the project because there is more higher chances of getting paid.
2. You can keep for long term since theyve been around for awhile so you dont have to worry about project exiting scam anytime.
3. They are already listed on many exchanges and you dont have to hold them in your wallets for a very long time like many new projects
4.Payouts and rewards are extremely very low,ive earned 10$ for promoting a old bounty project for weeks.

New Bounties
1. New bounties are plague with one delay after another.
2. You might hold tokens or coins for more than a year due to not getting listed on exchanges very soon
3. The tokens or coins might be useless or find out the project is scam since many new projects are mostly scam or shit projects
4. Lots of work is required when doing research on new projects than already existing old projects
5. New bounties always brings the highest profits as per details derived from hunters.

What do you guys have to say about my post? Am i making any sense or not?

Makes sense to me I always prefer old bounties because it guarantees rewards, compares to new bounties, where there are uncertainties if you are going to get your coins, and if you are going to get it at the right time I still have some coins that I haven't received until now and it's almost 7 months.

And of course, you have no idea of the price of the token, because you will wait to wait for months or even a year to see the price and if it is higher or lower from the actual price of the coin.

Old bounties have clear advantages over new ones, that is why bounty hunters will always choose old bounties to new bounties.
6860  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: waiting for altcoin season might take time on: August 18, 2019, 05:25:29 AM
I never expected anything to be easy maybe thats why i dont get worried about present market price

The first time i decided to invest in crypto was after the last bullrun of 2017 and i knew that 2017 was a big chance and i missed it since i never entered this space very earlier before the bullrun so after bear market takes over what comes straight to my mind was 'its never going to be easy to see a big change in market movement  like 2017'and since then i just keep my head up and find other means of living yet i cant do without investing in coins and tokens,the next altcoin season might not come anytime sooner but only those who are in hurry will be in pain,its never going to be that easy.

We are in a better position than what we were, four or five months when the market is at it's the lowest price, but the market is still dropping from time to time, like the recent exit scam on one Ponzi scheme, the market has a mix reactions on what's happening in the industry.

We will soon have another all-time high, experts are predicting but if we are trading and investing for a long time, we know that good news will deliver just through another all-time high, and we have a lot of good news now than bad news.
