Is there a % that you get from staking?

Thanks

No. Total crapshoot.

The only guaranteed percentage is running a supernode and that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up these days.

but you gotta admit that it looks extremely shady when an exchange is asked to comply with the regulatory rules but instead of doing that they just run the other way and refuse to obey the laws.
i would even consider staying away from any exchange that does that.

So you''d never consider Kraken? It's the place the Japanese courts entrusted with involvement in the Gox aftermath.

I can't remember the figures for Japanese compliance but it's a lot of money. If you're not likely to make it back then you may as well clear off whether you're legit or not.

And it's not the same as other markets. There are multiple Japanese exchanges that customers are likely to favour that we never hear about. It's worth dipping your toe to pick up a few strays but if you have to lay out vast amounts it won't make much sense if you're gaijin.

I wouldnt be surprised if they have applied for licences to operate in Japan.

I think they'd probably be asked questions they have no intention of answering which is why they're leaving Japan.

HitBTC has a lot of question marks around it. Many believe they're part of the a web of companies incorporating Freewallet, Changelly, Minergate and more.

Do you really think a public roadmap would make any difference? Imo, it seems like there's still a general awareness problem.

I for one very extremely much believe so.

When people are sniffing around something new that's one of the very first things they look to. If it isn't there then many a time they're not going to burrow any further. There are bog standard things you look at before going further with most projects - website, market position, Bitcointalk mentions, and a roadmap is very much in there too.

It may seem simplistic to someone heavily involved, but people start off on a simple basis anyway and then the details draw them in later on. And I wouldn't really class it as marketing. It's a basic courtesy in the minds of many - you're here in our present, here's a few bullet points about where we're planning to take you, or where you may take us.

It reminds me a little of what that Cache bloke was saying. He had to dig pretty hard on the website to find the info that excited him. It wasn't immediately in his face.

It's not as if it's a mind scrambling task either. It's a few hours of work which may pay off adoption wise more than tens or hundreds or thousands of hours of effort elsewhere. I'd happily do it myself if I had a clue about anything.

For something so simple and so ubiquitous elsewhere I find it mysterious that it doesn't exist though I recall mentions of something being put together on Telegram. Once it's in place it may only need a few minutes of maintenance per month but it would make a big difference.

It's one of the absolute smallest outlays of effort vs potential onboarding return.

Fuck China.

We are FREEEEEEEEEEE from their endless market worthlessness. Now if only we could do something about the mining.

I know there are China focused alts that we almost never hear of beyond its borders. Fuck them too.

Oh, what a surprise...coming from hitbtc
I just love it how Japan seems to be the best country in the world when it comes to crypto but all exchangers fail to meet the laws, so they decide to run in countries where there is no regulation.  Grin Grin

And hitbtc with their track record will soon have to ban half of the world from their platform if they do live that long.
Binance, Hitbtc...who's next?

HitBTC does sound like a right shithole but Kraken have also pulled out. I don't think it's necessarily a reflection of how shit you are, more the profit vs compliance costs. Then again HitBTC would never manage to be not shit so it was never happening for them.

We should make our own cryptocurrency and say it's only redeemable on some small Pacific island, so that you have to rent a boat or bring your own, and you have to come during office hours and bring a bottle of booze and a bag of weed with you. Booze and weed is non refundable.

Hey, you should get in touch with him and suggest that. Before you know it you'll be on Team Mcafee. This seems to involve drinking and toking at his dining table and taking an assault rifle to the toilet.
7728  Economy / Speculation / The 6th of the month on: June 05, 2018, 06:50:39 PM
https://www.coindesk.com/magic-number-chart-data-hints-at-june-6-bitcoin-boost/

https://www.tradingview.com/chart/qKNmlgPW/

I've seen this popping up increasingly.

The price goes from 6th to 5th of the following month. It reverses from 6th to 5th of next month and then reverses again. This has now been ongoing for several months and fits rather nearly with CBOE futures closing dates.

Is this gluing a pattern where one doesn't belong or is it all someone's bitch at least for a while?

All the others tend to give up some of the aspects of Bitcoin. For example, being totally decentralized and having no central control. That's the first one they have to give up to try to have a business model.”[/i]

I find it genuinely astounding how few people can be bothered to think this one through.

If you don't start off from this basis you don't ultimately have shit a vast amount of effort down the line. It's going to require some brutal object lessons until this necessity is wrapped enough around minds.

"There’s a case to be made that the redemption process is perhaps even more convoluted than attempting to withdraw USD from Tether. According to a message printed on the notes, they can only be redeemed in person in Mexico during a two-hour window each day, at which time the owner will be given a particular date, time, and location in the United States in which he or she will be able to meet with McAfee. Individuals, incidentally, may only redeem 100 MRUs at a time."


This is reaching a new level of incomprehensible. I've seen a blockchain mention in that article. It says nothing about which blockchain.

And there's no way I want to spend a second in his personal presence even if it means losing a million MRUs.
7731  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Any Bitcoin debit card recommendation? on: June 05, 2018, 05:24:56 PM
Do you think that anything will change soon and that more providers will appear?

Yes.

Previous providers are motivated to get new card partnerships. It must've been Xapo's primary source of retail income. There's literally no other reason to use them. They'll be looking high and low as will many others.

In 2-3 months hopefully there'll be more out there. If Wirex can do it so can anyone else.

I think that ninja nonsense was just something people told themselves to justify the lack of communicating and marketing. Someone said it and it has been repeated a bunch of times since then. Really disappointing how the foundation is handling things. There was an announcement months ago about Lon leaving and a new marketing team being put in place and a big marketing push.. but nothing has really happened other than a few shill articles on obscure crypto websites.

Why not get on here - https://forum.nem.io  and raise some points? That's where you'll be listened to by the actual team.

As for marketing, did you not notice the pavilion they had at Consensus? That's some major outlay.

You're right about the communication. It's always been the number one whinge. It's changing, but it's not A1.

The thing that's consistently blown my mind is that taking a few minutes out of one's week and telling people what to expect and maybe when is more effective than a million dollars of advertising yet it's rarely occurred to them.

Despite its virtues it's always been treated like a pure pump and dump coin. That became clear when it started to get noticed and it hasn't changed. I lost plenty dicking around in earlier days with it. Now I buy in dead periods and occasionally offload in mad ones.

Mad phases will be back. They'll be back for everything no matter how good or bad they are. Nem will still be there unlike plenty of other coins.

I get the frustration but this is prime necro post fodder too.

 I've been here since the beginning. It's been 'ded' enough times before. Do what brings you joy.

NEM straight up fucked themselves with their invisible approach.  They're done.  If you have no community, hype or marketing it is over.  

I agree the 'ninja' shit stopped being an appealing idea a long, long time ago and it was not a clever move in the first place but it's also over now and efforts are being made. It doesn't need empty hype either. A little justified hype would certainly not have gone amiss.

Right now a lot of seeds are being planted with NEM. If they don't lead anywhere its days as a top ish coin could well be over for the foreseeable future, but it will be chugging away long after almost everything else that's around now is dust.


This pathetic lack of volume compared to the rest of the to 15 is really concerning to me. Am I the only one who feels this way?

It's always, always had a pathetic lack of volume until it violently doesn't for short periods of time. Everything pumps again eventually as long as it stays above ground.

1 little bug , when i load the BTC onto GBP card i get a failed transaction notice but actually the transaction worked.

Is that the BTC transaction to the card or a GBP transaction? Does the app tell you that or does the place trying to spend it tell you that? I'm about to put a fair lump on this card. I'd rather not get the willies doing it.

You could buy a 10 bedroom house with about 15 acres of land for that where I live (further north in the UK)

It would be literally impossible to find a house that expensive up north. You'd have to build it yourself and buy it off yourself.

I have check option on localbitcoins for your country and found you have option to buy and sell btc on AZ. I have found the option for USD as well near to Georgia location mate. Please check the below link to find the option you want on LBC.
https://localbitcoins.com/places/583667/baku-az/

You can check the paxful link as well below.
https://paxful.com/azerbaijan/buy-bitcoin

Weird. If you search Azerbaijan, nothing shows up. If you search Baku then there is someone, albeit seemingly with one bit of feedback.

I'd still choose an exchange over cash dealing myself but I prefer a peaceful life.
7740  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-06-03] Google ad ban: New policy on cryptocurrency is ‘heavy-handed’ on: June 04, 2018, 12:19:06 PM
Their own "crypto products" or their own blockchain products?There is a huge difference between crypto and blockchain and we have to make it clear.If Google develops blockchain based products,then this is good news,but they will keep it as a secret.The Google ad ban doesn`t have much impact over the prices or crypto growth.

I just can't see any major company ever launching a full blown cryptocurrency - ie one that has a floating value that anyone can mine and contribute to. Nothing about doing that makes sense for them.

I don't think this clampdown has much or anything to do with whatever crypto plans they have. It's the absolute worthlessness of what they're being asked to advertise.

They advertise an awful lot of other shit, but the absolute shit is a small proportion of the legit shit.
