You people centralize trading on a single exchange and then you cry. Pethetic.

How do you know this?

Maybe a lot of us dont have Ripple on poloniex at all, maybe we do
along with some on Bittrex, Kraken also . . .

but i personally am intrigued by the sharp rise followed by the exchange
shutting down temporarily and then switched back on to find that the
value of said currency had fallen through the floor,

I love a good conspiracy theory  Wink
7202  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Poloniex crash Ripple peak on: May 09, 2017, 09:50:51 AM
ive moved to Bittrex.

Second that.  I'm done with polo.  They'll Gox soon.


Why would they do that?
There has to be massive funds generated on that exchange for that exchange
from all the transactions from all the currencies.

Because why not? This happened for the 3rd time, first it was with LTC when started to sky rocket, then with XRP, and now with STR.

I meant why would they "Gox" as in call a halt to withdrawals
stop uses from withdrawing funds like what Mt.Gox did back in 213/2014.

I know they can do what they like. hey, we are dealing with decentralised
and unregulated exchanges. Look at their currency value listings they
are generally higher than any other exchange.

Did a few tests as requested.

Login was easy, no fuss but I didnt as yet get a confirmation/activation e-mail.

I created a job but I could only choose from pre-defined skills
which I find very annoying, I know its only a test but its like
Behance, what if I have a skill you have not though of?

I cannot select the length of time I want the job offer to run for

I bid on an existing job without any issues.

I cannot update my job listing because the BTC address is invalid [which is good!!]

Excellent thanks for posting the changes here
and I think they are going to be very beneficial.

I love these:

3) User Profile
-Each profile will show lifetime money earned
-Cover Photo
-See users' followers and who the user is following

Is there plans also to include information or a link to
the profile of those who like my images?

I think I posted something of this on the slack channel  Huh
7206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen to your BTC and Alts if you died today? on: May 07, 2017, 09:24:54 PM
Yes I have thought of this and have printed out all
locations, passwords and phrases of my currencies
and told my Daughter where it is, she will be able to
work it out i'm sure should I pass away unexpectedly.

It would be a shame for all my research, work and effort
go to waste, someone should get the benefit of that work etc.

Hi,

I would be interested in taking part, and will be sending a PM shortly.

I take it these will be both Ladies and Gents watches?
7208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][GNT] Golem Project - The world’s most powerful supercomputer on: May 07, 2017, 08:02:21 PM
Are the coinbase rumours true?? And why did golem stop growing with the release happening soon?

It doubled in value in only 4 days! A lot happened the last days and many investors are looking for other pumps to sail. Bitcoin had a couple of ath's. Litecoin had some crazy days, ethereum is still strong without dropping and today ripple went crazy. Golem is not in the spotlights every day. Thereby nobody knows when Brass will drop and how well it works, I'm sure golem will go strong when brass is released.

It will release this may. It is officialy announced on twitter. I hope brass golem wil beo the mighty machine they promised. Lets wait and see

The patience is the key of success. Do not sell this coin at the present and you never get a big profit.
This is a good chance to buy more coins and hold it for a while if you want to be a rich person later.

If history has taught us anything, it's that bag-holding, 90% of the time, does not make you a rich person later.
Most companies fail, or are replaced, as time goes by...

That said, this could be one of the lucky times. : )
Take profits where you can.

Yes take your profits when you can and be sure of them
but not all tokens/coins/currencies have to be traded at once  Wink
7209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Dogecoin have a future? on: May 06, 2017, 08:59:51 PM
Hmmm, Why has it been abandoned by the developers?
I dont have any dogecoin and dont really know too much about it.

There seems to be a bit of a trading revival on Poloniex since March though?
7210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple releases 333 million more Tokens on: May 05, 2017, 01:35:22 PM
There is a finite number of XRP, no more can be created. Because there is no mining, XRP are distributed over time (sold).
They are working on Locking up Ripple's XRP with Crypto Conditions to provide market predictability.

Then this is a good signal then. By releasing 333 million on the market, means that they cannot control it it. It will be  community driven crypto currency which is beneficial to owners. But surely releasing this coin disrupts the coin value.

Well it seems to be on a little wave for itself, again
that 333,000,000 has not stopped the current price rise on poloniex
We are looking at $0.10+ for a while now.
7211  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: New Project WorkingForBitcoins.com! Come help test it out! on: May 05, 2017, 11:58:42 AM
This is a good idea, well done for implementing so far.

I have experience in designing websites on Wordpress
and while I wouldnt be too technicall with coding etc.
I would be strong on the visual aspects.

The first thing that hit me after landing on the page is that
there is no "front page" a visitor goes straight into the business page

there needs to be some sort of welcome page.
7212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Belacoin - Supercharging entrepreneurship with the power of the blockchain on: May 05, 2017, 12:17:34 AM
It's official, Belacoin is coming to the Coinomi web wallet, likely within the next 2-4 weeks. They'll be spending the next few days getting it integrated, and then it should be listed with the next update, whenever that is.

This is great news and nice to see the project moving along
after also being listed on Bittylicious.

Thank you for that. As we said before, we are aware and are working to fix it.

Is there a roadmap/feature timeline for Belacam anywhere?  

Also, wondering if there's goals for developing/moving to the mobile sphere?

I understand getting the fundamentals down with a web based project is important, and you want to start small, but it seems obvious that this kind of project will live in the mobile sphere much better than the desktop these days.

Just curious.

We don't have an official public roadmap, but our team does follow an internal one. If you join our slack at Belacoin.herokuapp.com, you'll hear all about our plans for the next month and beyond. These include changing the mining difficulty regulator from KGW to DGW, listing Belacoin on Coinomi, listing Belacoin on another exchange, and going into Belacam Beta 2.0 with a design overhaul. We will be working on the Belacam mobile app once we have the website all worked out and running 100% smoothly. As you can tell, there are a lot of exciting things on our plate coming in the next few weeks. However, we still can only do one thing at a time.

I can imagine there are a lot of jobs to be completed with this project and
going forward the mobile app will be a massive addition as it means users
can really work the Belacam motto, SNAP, POST, PAID !
[just like Instagram etc. without the ... PAID]

7213  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best source of bitcoin nowadays? on: May 04, 2017, 01:29:51 PM
The best way to make bitcoin nowadays is through trading. Since exchangers such as poloniex and yobits add many altcoins to their trading platform it becomes easy to make a lot of profits from daytrading. The opportunity for diversification is there as you have option of 100 of altcoins to trade from.
When people talk about diversification they don’t talk about holding different coins, you are still invested in cryptocurrencies, when people talk about diversification, most of the time they refer to investments in different areas of the economy, for example gold, real estate, stocks, bonds and others.
Yup.

Diversifying in altcoins is essentially just a bad idea. If you want to invest in assets that vary between tangible goods and digital goods then be my guest, but for a lot of people there is no point in spreading their value through multiple cryptos because most of them just end up depreciating in value and losing money. It's all about the get-in-and-get-out game that's going on. Go in early, wait for the pump, dump and then run off with money.
We have different strategy, you cannot generalize that altcoins are just made to pump and dump because there are legitimate altcoins now who are making a good journey to the top. One of my favorites are ethereum, I was able to follow it's movement regularly and I am quite convince with its current price now, as long as anyone will understand that altcoins has a good uses also, they will surely gonna do it for long term.

yes I agree with this.

not all crypto is just pump and dump, grab the profits and run away.
There are definite positives to trading in Alt Coins/currencies and some are
in fact get in, hold, sell and run away very quickly.

alternatively there are really great promising Crypto/Blockchain projects
which have the potential to change the "backroom" operations of a lot of
web based tools/websites.

So identifying what has potential is the start, investing in it and
holding the investment for the long term could see a really positive
return on the initial investment.

For me also Ethereum is one of those projects especially with the
Ethereum token contracts.

7214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][GNT] Golem Project - The world’s most powerful supercomputer on: May 04, 2017, 10:03:13 AM
Brass Golem is only the first development step in the roadmap
with Clay, Stone and Iron to follow. Clay will possibly be 2018
so a long way to go yet but all good and positive action.

Hopefully all the time the project gains momentum and awareness
and also that the value responds positively also !
7215  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LTC round 2 begins? on: May 04, 2017, 09:50:51 AM
well its better to hold and see how really far the price will go up as we seen the movement right now its keep moving up and no trace of falling down
time to buy still while the price is not that high yet or better to watch out and missed the ride,.


perhaps the 11,888 LTC I've mined and moved to BTC since Nov 2014..would have been better if I'd have held it till now (sob!)

anyway...20/20 hindsight works both ways...looking back on how sickly LTC was for last year or two....who'd a thunk it? Smiley

(So many boats missed since 2013...so many boats yet to miss by halving of LTC in 2019...stuff to do) Smiley



well your 11.888 litecoin are still there just in a different format!  Wink
hindsight sure is 20/20 vision, selling buying back in, selling again and buying back again,
im sure there are a lot of people jumping their funds around as the value goes up and down!!

interesting times ad more to come too i think Wink
7216  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just hypotetical and curious on: May 03, 2017, 04:04:36 PM
Yea thats pretty much how it came about


About the future:
Well did some govermnts shut down bitcoin already? What if all gvrmnts do it? Do we have to buy and shot to orbit our own satelite? Do we have to start developing an alternate underground internet web? Beyond the sewers? Between the trees and under the bridges? At our own building heights? So central pirate or clandestine servers and antennas of each city can be conected to internet users shelters? This is just hypotetical... I know im talking too far but... what if?

I think that a lot of governments most notably China had/has a problem with the Bitcoin concept
bacause they loose control of financial transactions to a degree.

But

Take Japan for instance they are embracing Bitcoin as a means of payment because I think they
realise that Bitcoin and Crypto in general when its decentralised cannot control it.

The internet in todays form cannot be banned or "switched off" because it is an intrinsic part
of the workings of society for banking and communication. An individual country i free to restrict
or ban certain web pages etc. such as Turkey banning Wikipedia in their country.
7217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Billionaire Mike Novogratz says he has 10% of his money in Bitcoin and Ether on: May 03, 2017, 03:44:19 PM
I am more than sure that big fishes from Wall Street, bankers and investors, generally everyone rich and linked to big finance world owns Bitcoin already.
These people know what is going on, bitcoin has proven itself as great investment over years, there is no reason to suddenly think it is the end of the road.
Bitcoin can be purchased anonymously and stored without any 3rd party involved, so no wonder rich businessmen would rather not brag about BTC.
The eventuality that in future negative bitcoin law may introduced is not out of the picture, so it is better to keep quiet about big bitcoin stash you own.




I dont know who Mike Novogratz is and I actually pictured Robert Novogratz  Cheesy

anyway I agree, we can all be damned sure there are a lot of wealthy people
around the world who have "investments" in Crypto Currencies and not just
Bitcoin.

They may not have bought into it at the start but certainly in recent years
and especially now that its proven that blockchain technology is not a little bubble
which will eventually pop.

These big time wealthy people rarely if never divulge their technique or where they
invest particularly to us minions.
7218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just hypotetical and curious on: May 03, 2017, 03:09:08 PM

About the past:
Well if im not wrong internet has become noticeable at 80's and went to popular in 90's... but since these processors were advanced enough, why bitcoin idea came until 2000? Wasnt it the right time to appear, even as a draft project in 1990? And start creating the first bitcoins at least crypted with cpu units of this time?


Bitcoin and the blockchain concept only came about because of the 2007/2008
economic crash and the resulting effects it had on everyone across the world.

The crash is what kick-started the concept that Satoshi Nakamoto created
in order for one person to send funds to another without the need of a banking system.
7219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][GNT] Golem Project - The world’s most powerful supercomputer on: May 03, 2017, 01:47:46 PM
I have some GNT which I have bought at Poloniex - so it is held in their wallet. How do I transfer it to my own wallet? I guess I could use Jaxx right? I is it possible to hold it as a token in Parity?

You can also move it from Poloniex to the exodus desktop wallet
check out exodus.io. Golum was recently added to their line up
along with Ethereum, Bitcoin, Dash, Litecoin, Augur and Dogecoin.

It can also be traded within the exodus wallet via Shapeshift. shapeshift.io

Yes this is good news indeed, nice to see the project moving along, this
could be an interesting month for the project.

Here is some interesting reading from the Golem blog for anyone interested.
