The Philadelphia Sixers are making its way again to another win, I guess this team will not gonna lose again. LOL.. I thought they will not play well this game due the absence of Joel Embid. This season could be a good season for the worst team in the past, Lakers and Pacers are picking up. Nice game for Sixers and congratulations for the winners.

The Sixers definitely have some interesting players, I can't wait to see Simmons play. I've seen some highlights from the summer league and he looked amazing, enormous basketball IQ and passing skills. I think his jump shot needs some work but he reminded of Lebron back when he was drafted. I don't think he'll be able to score that much but he can definitely get to the rim.

He could be the best passer in the NBA for the upcoming years.

Coinmarketcap is googled for and gets more page hits than Bitcointalk.  A listing there would be good for giving more exposure to 19800's business.  It would also show the many traders who visit CMC the true healthy volume of ANS.

Right now it shows 3 BTC daily volume for ANS, when it would actually be above Augur at 175 BTC if volume from 19800 was included.

You must be influential. http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/antshares/#markets

My ANS had moved to my web wallet and was there but not showing now,will it be okay if now I download Windows wallet?How can I get them on my Windows wallet from web wallet?Can we do same with Android wallet?I would prefer mobile wallet if possible.

The web wallet uses the indexeddb of browsers, which means it is periodically erased when your browser cache is full. That's why it needs to sync again. Think of it as a very long page load as it relies on certain nodes for the download.

What you need is the private key in WIF format. If you have it, you can easily add it to any wallet.

RE: MAC Users, I know it's kinda tedious,but if you want your ANS out, try  http://www.imore.com/how-install-windows-10-mac-without-spending-dime

Thanks for the instructions, I knew this was an option but have never considered it until I read your message. I think I'll wait a couple more weeks or so to see if there are any news.

Do you guys knows what happens with our ABC coins, will they will be visible inside the wallet once synced?

I've read lately somewhere that one should not only consider how much you are willing to lose when you enter a casino but what's the limit in terms of profits. I definitely agree with this since most of the times you bet, at least one time you're in the green, but you keep playing and lose it all. The hardest thing is walking away with just 10-20% profit.

Results from the last matches!

Kings- 109 vs Pistons- 104
Rockets- 114 vs Bucks- 127
Thunder- 97 vs Jazz- 95
Cavaliers- 122 vs Pelicans- 124
Knicks- 109 vs Pacers- 103

Looking forward for tomorrow matches!

Well that is an intense fight with Cavaliers against Pelicans and Cavs did got a losing straight at their home base with Spurs. And their next fight is with  Sacramento Kings. And now they are going to play at Cavs home court. I'm sure that Cavs will get a revenge win for this game but still Kings is not going to give this game easily.

Cavs are looking bad and having a very hard time maintaining the effort needed. Irving scored 49 pts and Lebron notched a triple double and they still lost against a New Orleans team without Anthony Davis, that's just not acceptable. The rest of the roster will really need to step up big time or more trades will be needed. I fell Frye should be moved now that Korver is there. Frye won't play in the finals as we saw last year and in this year games against the Warriors so there's really no point in keeping him. Shumpert is playing ok lately but he's another one that could be traded away in my opinion. The Cavs need a point guard and a big man. Kevin Love started pretty good but Tristan Thompson especially has been atrocious all year, the guy can only get offensive rebounds (sometimes he doesn't even do that), he's completely overrated even if it somewhat fits in this team.

Can someone answer:

1) What is the best wallet to store ICO locally that will pay me dividends? Or to get paid dividends you will need to hold them online in the online platform? because that is not very safe

2) The dividends are paid in ICO or in other token? because if they paid in ICO, then the total supply will be inflationary... not good for long term.

1) MyEtherWallet and in the future Exodus (they will support ERC20 tokens soon) if you want to store ICN locally. If not you can leave it at the ICO site and in the future at Iconomi site.

2) I suppose you mean ICN not ICO, dividends will be paid in ETH, ICN tokens are capped at 100 million so there will be no inflation due to mining (either POW or POS) in the future. Basically ICN are shares in the company.

 Which player will get All-Star MVP? Consider this when you vote, usually winning team's best player get the award. (There is only 1 exception in history)

This is really hard to predict since it's all about entertainment purposes. Also depends if the player will goes into aggressiveness just to grab the title.

I think Russel Westbrook will be close to All-Star MVP candidate. Maybe eyeing for the record (possibly new record) and will just focus on playing rather than talks and funny conversations since Durant will be his teammate lol. Kawhi Leonard too as my second choice.

Agreed, I think there are some players like Westbrook and Irving that always try to get the spotlight in these kind of games, especially down the stretch. They sort of go into the game with a more serious mindset while most of the rest of the players are there to just have some fun and deliver a good show and entertainment.

And one has to consider a couple of long shots like DeRozan and Thomas from the east, these guys can caught fire and score +40 pts in any game, if something like that happens the title will be up for grabs...

Lol, please the Warriors only crush teams in the regular season, they will suffer against Grizzlies, Clippers, Spurs, Rockets and even Blazers if they get that far.

The Warriors have a lot of weak spots in their roster, just an injury to their big four (hell even Iguodala) will create havoc. And don't forget that it's all fine now but there is a lot of tension between Green and the rest.

You are really not an enthusiast of Golden State Warriors lol but Im agree to your sayings but exclude Los Angeles Clippers since they are inconsistent even with a healthy lineup. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are not the players today that still has a wild teeth back in their peaks.

Green is so much talktative that's why their target achievement last year have been spoiled by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Imagine after they take the margin to 3-1 last finals lots of boastful comments came from him. And now look at what happen. Cheesy (Please no comment about refs, take that to your dreams).

The Clippers are in bad shape right now but they have plenty of experience and the will to win come the playoffs. I know they are always close to getting to the NBA finals and nothing happens but they had a lot of bad luck, if they are healthy this year that's all that matters and I wouldn't like to face them.

These games have almost 0 value really, last year it was around this time that Blatt was fired from Cleveland so there's still a lot of time and many things can happen. The real action begins in the playoffs and for Cleveland it basically begins at the NBA finals or at least the East finals.

As for the Warriors, they are doing ok but I'm not very impressed, last year the team looked completely unbeatable in the regular season and it was a whole different story in the playoffs. Now they even have Durant so we'll see how they play under pressure not in these exhibition games.

Whats wrong with web wallet?I was trying to sync it since months and it had synced %10 but today when I opened it,it is back to zero.I tried to refresh and re-login but nothing seems to work.Can any one suggest any solution?Has it happened to you or is it just me?

I have not used the webwallet. Only the desktop one, have you tried using the desktop wallet or are you unable to do so? I've used that one since the beginning of this project without any issues. If you want help setting it all up I can provide any help needed through PM's.

Problem is that there is only a desktop-wallet for Windows-User. I'm on Mac and until now nothing worked for me.

Anybody here with a working Webwallet on Mac?

Same here man, I've tried all web wallets, even Android and even if they sync 100% my ans don't show up. I've read that only the windows desktop wallet works and I could ask a friend or relative but it's just not worth the hassle. I thought that with the new servers this problem would be over but I guess we'll have to wait until they release the Mac version to get our ans...

Enough with the moon and daily trade ticker talk, it's getting boring. Do any of you guys want to speculate about some interesting upcoming ICOs this year? I think in the near term Gnosis would be a great choice since it's one of the most awaited ones, but I also think Equibit could have a lot of potential. I'm a little disappointed they passed on Wings but I feel they did the right thing, not sure what's the current price. Golem is doing great luckily.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: January 21, 2017, 05:32:15 AM
Maybe because people are tired to see another MVP award to Westbrook, with this line up, he will be limited with minutes and I don't think he can do what he did in the past all star. Maybe this time, if the East will win, we will see James Harden as MVP. I'm sure this guy is hungry for that award and will do his best to get it and win the team.

What are you talking about? Harden is not in the East. you can't see a player getting MVP award without winning the match. People are dumb enough to put Curry over Westbrook and Harden. Curry should be dropped out of starting five, but it's a popularity contest and Warriors bandwagons are raised in last 2 years. Anyway, Westbrook will show his anger, passion and ambition in the game.

Ever since Durant came to GSW he overtook the lead role and Curry became more of a support cast, but he's still superstar material anyway.

I wonder if he'll shine in the playoffs still.


Honestly he basically gave Warriors key to Durant, both lost a lot of respect for many fans and players around the league in my opinion. I don't see Curry taking over in the playoffs because he never did, not even when they won the championship against a decimated Cavs team. That time it was Iguodala who stepped up.

I honestly doubt the Warriors reach the Finals this year, I think San Antonio, LA Clippers, Memphis and Houston could beat them in a 7 game series, surpassing what OKC almost did last year.
793  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-01-18] Bitcoin: Why It Now Belongs in Every Portfolio on: January 19, 2017, 05:53:46 PM
I have people who are far away from the fields of technology and finance - like doctors, ask me about Bitcoin. Whether or not it makes it to every portfolio, it has certainly piqued interest.

Well honestly I think there's interest only because of these past rallies, people usually notice and wants to invest when it's high or pumping, then they lose interest on it and that's when they should be looking to buy.

One thing is undeniable and that is that blockchain tech made a lot of waves (especially with Ethereum) last year, "altcoins" were almost nonexistent in terms of mainstream news and with ETH rally at the start of the year, other profitable ICOs and the DAO, there were plenty of coverage for better or worse. Let's see what 2017 brings to the table.
794  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Money laundering via BTC on: January 19, 2017, 04:14:07 PM
I think this all happened in a larger scale when Silk Road was still alive and Bitcoin was unheard of. I would never consider Bitcoin for "hiding" really, in fact blockchain technology is basically a public ledger where it's not that difficult to track private information if you really want (and have the power to enforce it). Check Coinbase latest news and you'll see how easy it is once governments start paying attention. There's a whole other debate about BTC fungibility too and that's what's the deep issue here. Anyone can use most financial tools available for illegal activities, cash is the primary example.
795  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: January 19, 2017, 01:11:32 AM
MVP race is better now. Are you on Harden's side or Westbrook's side? Which is better? Making your team Top3 West or breaking triple-double records with triple-double averages? I'm opening new poll, please vote and write your thoughts. I also added Durant, Lebron and Leonard but I don't think they have a chance.
I think Westbrook's performance is better, considering his team is weaker than Harden's Houston. Averaging a triple-double is a very hard achievement. He also do it with a play-off team already.
Oklahoma City is in 7th seed with 25-18 record. Houston Rockets is in 3rd seed with 32-12 record.

For MVP race, stats are the most important rather than the great role even a player bring his team into the top. James Harden has a good backup so I can't considered that guy as the one lifting the Rockets into the top. Unlike in the case of Russel Westbrook where we all know that he is mainly the guy who are doing all around role in Oklahoma City Thunder. And with his great streak of performance, his teammate are being carried away with him that's why they can stand even against the strong opponent.

I will choose Westbrook for now. Honestly, I can't actually decide who will be the MVP at the season end since there are still long road to be that needs to be passed.

We all know who's the real MVP and that's Lebron James, let's all forget about that and vote some of these ball huggers who will never get close to carrying a team to the NBA Finals alone (Westbrook and Durant almost made it last year...).

In my opinion Harden has more help in Houston than Westbrook in OKC, so for that alone I can see Westbrook with the slight advantage over the Beard. I really though OKC would be out of the question in terms of a playoff spot, but the West had been very week so far. They can even challenge some top seeds if they managed to incorporate a couple of players before the trade deadline.
796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: January 17, 2017, 03:46:05 PM
My Cavs got completely outplayed and got embarrassing at some times. I think Cleveland should make some more moves, especially a ballhandler and a rim protector. Frye is awesome but he's another shooter and he won't get too much playing time against the Warriors and that's all that matters. I heard he's a great locker room guy but I can't see how the Cavs can make something happen without giving something in return.

To me Shumpert is a questionable player (didn't perform well either in last year finals) so I think those two should be in the trading block unless David Griffin can unload McRae and Felder for Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan like he usually does, lol.
797  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: January 15, 2017, 01:38:49 AM
Well gambling is not a sickness per se but addiction (any kind) is. So while gambling has the potential to become an addiction it's not the source of course, the individual is guilty of an addictive behavior. To me and many here gambling is just an entertainment and should be treated like that.

One should bet money and considered gone the minute the decision is made. Like paying for a movie ticket or buying an app in your favorite store. You are just buying some time to be entertained and if you play it right you might as well get some back or even win some.

What exchange(s) was ETH on when it blew it's nuts?

Polo made ETH and kinda the other way around too if you ask me, they earned a LOT from fees during last year rally.

Anyway, I think ICN has been the most stable "currency" during these recent BTC ups & downs, I think we won't pass 50k sats or $0.35-40 before an announcement is made. After that I think a realistic target price would be around 80-100k, with real FOMO it can get close to a dollar right before the launch.

After that I think we'll see a selloff to previous levels since dividends won't be there and it will be a bear market for a while waiting for the site to develop etc. Of course we don't know how succesful Iconomi will be, if there are enough users and interest then speculation about future dividends will be priced in and we can even have a Steem like run to $3-4 during this year.
799  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ICONOMI - Fund Management Platform on: January 13, 2017, 06:21:29 PM
Publicly-known ICONOMI.performance holdings:

5M GNT: ($91.9k current value) - ($51.3 invested) = $40.6k unrealized profit

4222 GBYTE: ($86.3k current value) - ($0 invested) = $86.3k unrealized profit

Total unrealized profit = $126.9k

Estimated unrealized dividends for ICN holders: ($126.9k)×0.20 = $25.4k


*20% performance fee is just an estimate, not officially announced yet


That's $0.00025 per token...

This is only for performance fund and most has not been invested, it's also a tiny part of the whole revenue since most will come from fees of using the platform and actually selling both index and performance funds.

So even if this doesn't seem to be that much, it's a very nice first step in my opinion and a boost of confidence in the team choosing profitable ICOs so far.
