Not sure why everyone tells people to buy BTC first, then swap for altcoins.
You can buy your altcoins direct from litebit.eu
You can buy altcoins in any major exchange that will accept fiat deposits. It's as simple as that  |

I prefer to have my coins in software wallets, properly encrypted and backed up. However, the idea of having an hardware wallet to give you children in the future sounds like a great plan!

As a beginner in this forum, my only advice is that you should invest in altcoins that have the potential to grow in the future.
That's a very good advice, but how can you choose? These are my criteria: - Premined or not?Premined coins are too suspicious. The devs take an initial big slice for themselves always justifying that with some philosophical rhetoric but there are many past examples of total scam coins using this scheme. - ICO or no ICO?I don't like ICOs, I prefer to invest in an already ongoing project with given proof of stability and endurance. I'm not saying all ICOs are scam, but same of them are for sure! - How old is the coin?In my book, if a coin is still being actively traded after 3/4 years of existence, this has to mean something; there is a faithful community behind it. - Is it still being actively developed?Following the previous point, if after 3/4 years the coin still has a dev team committed to it with real plans for the future, then it has a real project! - Does it have any real use besides pure pump and dump speculation?Is the coin being used for any kind of purchases? If not, are there any plans for it? Otherwise, it will only be a play toy for trading. - Does it have an active and large community?How large is the community? Is it still active or everybody left a long time ago? - Is it PoW of PoS?Proof of Work is a dead end, the power consumption is obscene. Not viable for the average domestic crypto enthusiast. Proof of Stake can be done with a Rasberry Pi - Fully functioning wallet?Some coins have terrible wallets, unstable, not user friendly. This is a key factor, the software has to be in line with the state of the at crypto developments. |

I measure profit in fiat, but I only consider it profit when I cash out.
Same thing here, I measure the amount of fiat currency I cash out. Most of my investments are in altcoins so the BTC pairing is often misleading. |

É engraçado ver as diferenças de opinião... Eu nunca gostei do Coinbase mas não posso dizer que não funciona. Só tem a relevância que tem porque aquilo funciona mesmo. Eu negoceio noutros exchanges, Poloniex, Bittrex ou Cryptopia, mas tudo acaba por ir parar ao Kraken e é deste que os € vêm para o banco. Até aqui, sem quaisquer problemas |

Bom dia!
Sabem me dizer se a Carteira e Exchange da XAPO funciona bem na Europa?
E o cartão Xapo? Também serve para a Europa?
Obrigada!
Já usei o Xapo em Portugal e em alguns países da UE, sem qualquer problema. |

"não vamos tar a falar de bitcoin daqui a um ano"
De nada!! (!remindMe - isso não é no bot do reddit?) Pelo que percebi o Ricardo tinha que fazer o contraditório. Como não o encontrou, inventou-o.
A única diferença da Bitcoin para a moeda convencional é que é a primeira que é deflacionária, mas isso deve-se ao facto também de ser a primeira que é verdadeiramente limitada na sua emissão.
Se "choca" a moeda valorizar >1000%, não nos podemos esquecer que moedas convencionais, como o Bolívar Venezuelano ou o Dólar Zimbabweano desvalorizam muito mais que isso num ano. Aqui a única diferença está no existir ou não limitações à emissão.
O USD e o EUR apenas não desvalorizam à mesma velocidade pelo peso das respectivas economias e por terem bancos centrais um pouco mais responsáveis nas regras da sua emissão. Mas isso não garante nada no futuro, basta remover os rácios bancários para o EUR passar a valer menos que notas de monopólio.
É um vermelhinho que depois chama ao outro de "Anarquista que vê a casa ocupada"... Como não lhe é vantajoso porque não tem, entrou tarde no comboio... é contra! Houve uma parte que só berrei para o ecrã: eu tenho BTC desde 2008!!!!!!!!!!! Como não é reserva de BTC?! DEsde 2008 deve ser complicado... Tendo em conta que o genesis block foi minado no dia 3 de Janeiro de 2009...  |

I've been running claymore ZEC miner for 48 hours... so far I haven't gotten a single bit of ZEC.. Any suggestions before I dump this? My rig should pull over 400 h/s
You have given zero information... I've been mining for 48 hours (mining what, where, how?) How do you know you haven't gotten a single bit of ZEC?? What pool are you using? what wallet are you using? Did you change the config file to YOUR wallet? Hehehe, go easy on him... These folks think we can help them just by means of our telepathic powers. By the lack of reply, I'm thinking you already helped him. Maybe by reminding him to change the default wallet |

I recently put a machine on ETC and updated the drivers to the blockchain drivers, so the machine mines faster now, but is more unstable, even when I shut off dual mining. Can anyone share with me their run parameters for a Sapphire rx nitro (non-plus) 480 8g card? I am running windows 10 with v 10.2 with the August 23rd blockchain drivers. Would love a suggestion on how to get this to run stable and not have cards tripping out. I have tried raising and lowering voltages, lowering ethi to 1, and turning off dual mode, but not really found a stable set up. Appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks
I'm using this config. -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444
-ewal xxxxx
#-eworker
-epsw x
-esm 0
-allpools 1
-mode 1
-estale 1
-ethi 16
-gser 2
-wd 1
-r 0
-dbg -1
-tt 75
-ttdcr 80
-ttli 85
-tstop 90
-cclock 900
-cvddc 800
-mclock 1750
-mvddc 800
-powlim -10
Works like a charm on my 6x480 rig no wonder it works like a charm. Are you getting 24MH/card at least? Around that, yes. No noise, no heat, stable as hell, no complications whatsoever. This is like driving a Ferrari at 90kph on wide-open roads with no speed limits. Wrong, it's like driving a Ferrari where the speed limit is imposed by the electricity prices and the road margins are limited by the outside temperature |

The best bet is to invest in undervalued alcoins that are steadily making their way, even when BTC is breaking records.  This coin has a lot of growth potential! |

How much room does Cardano have left with such a huge supply? The market cap is already 5 billion, even if it gets to Bitcoin size (and it won't, maybe it gets as high as Ethereum) Cardano won't make you a millionaire. About 60x is not enough for that.
I might be completely mistake, but I keep thinking most of these new coins that attained high levels of capitalization in record time won't last for long... |

For the long term the only viable option is a PoS coin. Holding BTC might be a good bet but the number of coins will remain the same over time. Holding PoS assets can be very profitable taking into account that as long as you fulfill the minting conditions, your assets will grow over time.
PoS coins are the future, therefore they are the best long term investment.
|

Although past performance cannot guarantee future revenues, it is also a good metric to evaluate a project's solidity. Check this out:  While BTC breaks records, smashing most alcoins, DMD keeps breaking records too! Isn't it amazing? |

Check out DMD: Always on the rise, even when BTC is breaking records! |

$500 would be wisely spent on a solid Proof of Stake coin that would generate revenue just by keeping the wallet open 24/7, like DMD.
Investing in ETH might be wise but the number of coin will remain the same over time, while with PoS the coins will generate new coins.
Think about it, it is really profitable. Besides, ETH is planning to move to PoS too, it's just not clear when the fork is going to happen.

This is an altcoin with a brigth futuure: One year ago the price was .19 USD, today it >16 USD Even with BTC beating records DMD keeps growing, supported by the latest and very profitable PoS tech. Check it out. |

Altcoins will never go way, the good ones will fill the gaps BTC due to the tech limitations will never fill. Altcoins fluctuate a lot but that a an intrinsic property of every crypto asset. If you panic the first moment you see a drop in price, then crypto is not for you. Find something else to play with  |

Diversify your portfolio, keep some BTC but invest in some undervalued altcoins. Stay away from the brand new ones as they represent a much higher risk, read and study the older ones. Among these, try to select the few which are still being developed, have a steady community and a stable price. This will minimize your risks, and might prove to be very profitable.
