Good points for sure, negative press is picked up quicker than positive news IMO
especially in todays world where "crime" accounts for a very large portion of news stories
along with politics [mostly negative]

For governments at the moment in general they are not seeing a benefit to their
exchequers from Crypto Curencies so they are all to happy to hear the negative
press except that is Japan who recently recognised Bitcoin as legal payment
https://news.bitcoin.com/japan-bitcoin-method-payment-april-1/

Now this is a really positive news story and hopefully in the short term
will see other countries following Japan's stance!
I think if you have a business in Japan the time is right to accept BTC

How new does the altcoin have to be?

I would suggest getting into Bitcoin first and then trade into
your chosen altcoin from Bitcoin.

You will need to do some research and work out the positives
and negatives. Check the announcement threads here on BtcTalk
and obviously check out news articles on google and reddit etc.

No-one knows what the future holds and a true example of this
is the activity surrounding "Litecoin" which up to a few weeks ago
was talked about as being "dead"

What got me thinking was "where can I spend Dogecoin?" and this list
throws up a few possibilities https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/wiki/shop_with_dogecoin
I must admit the list is not hugh but I didnt realise you could even spend it anywhere.

Like all altcoin's I have heard good and bad things about Dogecoin
and I have to do a little more research on it. My desktop wallet is "Dogecoin Ready"
so I do have a place to store it if/when I decide to get involved.

What has been mentioned earlier is the mining of the coin the circulating supply is gynormous
is this working against it?

Yes I agree, so far its an exchange for YoCoin and YoGold, there will need to be
a bigger range of trade-able coins going forward. YoGold is the newer of the coins so 
it may have potential and should help YoCoin along - maybe.

As yo-ex, yocoin and yogold are of the same family the graphic design of all three is
of a similar theme which is fantastic! Its a pity visitors have to create an account to
view the exchange.

When you log into the site you are offered two factor authentication, funds cannot be
lodged to the exchange without it. So the proper security features are present from
the start.


 

I might be interested as my first signature campaign if you consider
Lower ranked users.........

Their new venture or app us launching next week. Belacam where.
You get rewards for likes on the photos you upload.

So yea its a coin with a twist

Amazing what a tweet can do from a guy with a big reputation good or bad
so far it just goes to show how whales feed off panic, the key is to hold tight [and pray] 

Thanks 

I dont have a great amount of funds to transfer into crypto so what little I do
put in I do with caution. There are over 700 alt "coins" all proclaiming to do something
different to the next. So you gotta find out what they propose to do and take it from there!

can you elaborate on the "hugh crash" part ?

I just read the entire thread and no mention of belacoin?

I think they need some marketing done!

Interesting coin with plans to compete with instagram.
They will soon (april 13) be pitching to one of the largest.
Venture capital funds in the world........

They. Also have the ambia development team on board.
Which i believe is a very reputable development team.

Current price is still low!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1373100.0.

There you go thats my input.
But as you can see im new around here !!!!

Im just after visiting this again and noticed this line above at #1343.
just a little too late applying. !!

Will our application be taken into consideration for the nezt openings?
Or will we have to apply again?

Im selling a new and sealed VERBATIM 8GB SDHC Card [Class 10]

$6.00 in BTC including postage to anywhere

.....a lot done more to do !!

This is brilliant though and shows that Tokyo anyway is closer to real every day
buying and selling in BTC eventhough its still a bit like a mystery tour and
a lot of googling and of course getting the all important decimal point in the
right place!!

very interesting, thanks for posting.

Mining fees, and lots of them as people rush have rushed to get a slice of the action.
Ltc back to .00828000 we might see another rally = more fees, its a game now

Like halving a determined distance at every step............the two points in theory bever meet,
A bit mind bending, but interesting nonetheless

when printed in black and white this outlook is really sad
and it is looking more and more like this to me
so much for an alternative to the FIAT system which we are all still tied to
nope it seems just as corrupt

"1.Introduction
Commerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions serving as
trusted third  parties  to process electronic payments.   While the  system works  well enough for
most   transactions,   it   still   suffers   from   the   inherent   weaknesses   of   the   trust   based   model.
Completely non-reversible transactions are not really possible, since financial institutions cannot
avoid   mediating   disputes.     The   cost   of   mediation   increases   transaction   costs,   limiting   the
minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions,
and   there   is   a   broader   cost   in   the   loss   of   ability   to   make   non-reversible   payments   for   non-
reversible services.  With the possibility of reversal, the need for trust spreads.  Merchants must
be wary of their customers, hassling them for more information than they would otherwise need.
A certain percentage of fraud is accepted as unavoidable.  These costs and payment uncertainties
can be avoided in person by using physical currency, but no mechanism exists to make payments
over a communications channel without a trusted party.
What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust,
allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other without the need for a trusted
third  party.    Transactions  that  are  computationally  impractical  to   reverse   would  protect  sellers
from fraud, and routine escrow mechanisms could easily be implemented to protect buyers.   In
this paper, we propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer distributed
timestamp server to generate computational proof of the chronological order of transactions.  The
system   is   secure   as   long   as   honest   nodes   collectively   control   more   CPU   power   than   any
cooperating group of attacker nodes."

Im a newbie when it comes to crypto, im still learning and there is a lot.
Which i dont understand, and probably never will. There are things
Which are just too technical for me.

But this shit which has recently been uncovered im tired of already.

I doesnt surprise me one bit, it happens every day.

I thought cryptocurrencies was very simple and straight forward.
Obviously not, there are people ready to take advantage, cheat, con and manipulate,
Busines as usual and one of the ugly human traits - it sickens me.

Would love to see the goal posts moved and the rug pulled fro under them

Yes very good point about introducing a potentially new concept
to people who otherwise are oblivious to crypto.

Interesting concept

Just like LTC at the moment this
thread is most certainly not dead 

Enjoying all the input - thanks all

I think a lot of people feel like doing what the OP
wants to do but we all get a sharp reality check.
