I guess all those wallets that supported the August fork, BCH, will also support this upcoming fork. Electrum did and it is a secured offline wallet where you also hold your keys.

Poloniex is an exchange. It awarded its clients who had Bitcoin on its site before the fork the bonus coin, BCH, from the previous fork. I guess some other exchanges did too.

OP, how you omitted "Team" which is the most important aspect of ICOs everyone pays attention to after the "White paper" raises a doubt. The project team members are necessary to peruse and googled to know what track records members have and achievements they had made in the past so as to relate it with the project at hand.


Of course, this is a biased assessment since your promotion is about your company.

The ethereumdark coin (ethd) issue comes to mind. It is a classical dump. The pump and dump scheme is usually adopted by failing devs to ease themselves out and make easy cash by having the public deceived into thinking the momentary price rise of the coin is sustainable. The public rushes in, holders sell off their units and scamper.

In the maddening rush to claim the free bitcoingold coins and in all we do, let us remember what happened with the dude who told his story here of how he lost 45.8 btc in the last fork of August 1. He wrongly moved his fucking 45.8 bitcoins and they disappeared into thin air! The story is found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2059967.0

Don't you know that success has many fathers, and failure a bastard? That is exca what is happening in the crypto space now. The Bitcoin module has proved to be a successful one and many countries and enterprises are keying into its adaption. It is a welcome development and will aid the government in controlling and getting its taxes. I really don't see this as an attempt to rival the Bitcoin, rather it is going to be a new way of advancing governance.

If taxing Bitcoin and succeeding will remove every tag of criminality from it by some countries, so be it. We all bitcoiners should be in support of that. Let the government tax every transaction on the blockchain as that will act as an approval of the virtual currency. Taxing it also will further increase the awareness and popularity of Bitcoin. So, it's a good one from the Koreans.

Airdrops have been mentioned. That's correct. Some devs do give out some coins from their work for promotion and advert sake. You can sell off these coins once they hit the market or exchange them for bitcoin .

Mining has been.mentioned. That's bullcrap! Mining doesn't give that passive income. It isn't even profitable anymore this day.

But how come no one mentioned coins that are into lending and lockdown programmes like Bitconnect coin and Regalcoin. These coins offer you the opportunity of a true passive income through daily interest paid on your lending investment with them. OP, you may want to google them for more insight.

I don't think that the continued rise in the price of bitcoin has anything to do with the expected value of  the new forked coin, bitcoingold. It has all to do with the benefit the people' had with past experience with bitcoincash fork in August. Every btc holder now looks forward to the oncoming fork and wouldn't want to sell off. So, there are few btc in circulation  and this little supply is bending to the tune of the highest bidder thereby driving the price on the rise.

I know the numerous coins out there makes one's head swoon sometimes. But hey, the more the merrier. Maybe we take note about the cryptos but how many of us look at the so many start up companies swinging up every single day? Let more come to the market and with time the wheat will be separated from the tares.

If a limit were put on social media after WhatsApp was created I am sure we wouldn't be having the telegram (which is better than WhatsApp). Just a thought.

Certainly, yes. I believe that Bitcoin will change the world distribution of wealth but I do not think it can be evenly done. Now, with Bitcoin, youngsters who follow the trend do come into wealth through their investment in Bitcoin, exposing them to this opportunity that they wouldn't have had. The story of the 12-year old who became rich after he invested his $1000 birthday gift from his granny into Bitcoin is a classical example.

Of making wealth distribution equal is an unachievable goal. No technology can achieve that.

What? I am not quite sure you understood the OP's question. He is asking of transfer time of transaction, not holding a coin.

Anyway, my longest wait was a little over two days. I was still a noob and that was my first transfer experience. It was with Changelly. I needed to make doge transfer and it somehow got stuck. Later, I understood the fault was from me. Ever since then transactions with them have been very smooth sailing. OP, maybe there's something from your end that didn't go in well and that could cause the delay.

Converting cryptos to fiat before spending it is non-negotiable for those if us in Africa. We really can't spend them except we exchange them for paper money either online on in person. The crypto idea hasn't really caught up here like it is in Europe and Asia. So, I would say yes, conversion is necessary.

That is the point. They really neck deep into the Keynesian stuff that they don't realize how old school they have become. But why are they suddenly bad mouthing Bitcoin now. Is it because it made a mess of all their predictions that it wouldn't get this far? Why can't they come to accept that Bitcoin is an asset with a fiat dual characteristics. The excitement this coin generates will definitely be there among its lovers because the world had never witnessed a thing like it before. And certainly, that doesn't make it a fad.

No, it is not done in percentage. It is on ratio according to the last fork. It was on 1:1. It meant that 10 btc gave you 10bitcoincash. And 3btc was equal to 3bch. So, we also expect such sharing formula with this fork.

Thanks for your observation. I don't know why the symbol confusion still exists even two months after the birth of Bitcoincash (BCH). OP, is there any other reason you want to sell off other than panic? If there aren't, then there isn't any cause for alarm. As for the Segregated Witness 2, I don't see it been much of a problem to Bitcoincash. I would rather hold unto the coin than sell off.

This is glad tidings to the crypto community. I have long awaited it and also expect Mark Zukerberg to  adapt Bitcoin for his business. A public declaration in support of Bitcoin from these bigshots rather than the negative Morgan tirades will spur Bitcoin more. Kudos Microsoft.

You raised a valid point, honestly. But I think that apart from the devs expectedly taking that fluctuations into consideration in their estimation, the total units of coins sold should be the major concern. We have always known these ICOs to reveal to the public the total units offered and days sold off should be concluded. I believe the devs focus is on the units of sales more than the total cash raised because they already have that figured out.

I am beginning to lose interest too. No, it isn't that I think some the ICOs are scams but because it is very difficult getting the coins after one has made a transfer to the company's site. The btc is withheld for days unending.

Why would any sane devs stress would-be investors and have a timeframe when their allotted daily sales would be made and most times the coins are sold out within two minutes. Yes, just two mins and you begin to wonder who and who were able to buy in if not a prearranged schedule by the devs and their teams. This scenario is ongoing right now with hextracoin and glasscoin ICOs. I have been in hextracoin for more than 10 days now trying to get in. Very stressful!

No amount of FUD or negative propaganda by Dimon or any other person at this time can drag the price of Bitcoin down until after the fork. The people's sentiment remains bullish towards bitcoin. The JP Morgan boss can parrot all he can and shout himself husk but his attempt will go void this time. He tried it once and succeeded but the cryptoworld seems to have waken up after that.

You are right. I really don't know why people keep missing this salient information. Bitcoin is pioneer and on a class of its own. Others are altcoins whether BCH(I think that remains the right symbol) or BTG (We are yet finalize on this tag). With the Bitcoincash experience everyone should have established that no comparison exists. What is the current price of BCH now and what was it actually set out to achieve in the first place except mere rivalry...
