I guess I understand half of the things about proof of weak hands, I definitely get the connotation, but I still cannot figure out properly how this "game" will work. Is it just me? Maybe if they can simplify or dumb it down, because I feel that there is potential in such a game, yes even if it was a joke/meme currency, but look at what happened to Dogecoin, the joke that suddenly became serious.

I have >1 ETH for example. What do I do exactly if I want to "join" this fun?

They surely do not have the expertise to track it on their own but there are some expert firms out there who helped police track down international Bitcoin criminals. It is a lot of money so I am sure some firm will even contact them to say they will help, for a fee of course. but that is better than nothing.

But I still believe their suspicion on the CSO is probably the accurate one. There are only two possibilities to me. Either the CSO did it, or he has crap security and should never have been their security head.

Yeah, the lowest requirement I have ever joined is 20 posts per week and that was not even close to paying $30 per week. I do not think we should see it as good or bad, signature campaign is a tested way of promoting a project. I would have gladly joined if I did not already have a campaign, as GBYTE is one of the very few alts I followed from my earliest days (and I bought most of my byteballs.

That rate will be very good when gbyte reaches its ATH again, so trust me, that is one of the best methods to earn right now. I only hope the participants do not dump, and actually use the wallet. They will be so surprised to see how special it is!

Speaking of April airdrops, I am beginning to see a new trend of airdrops now from projects already completing ICOs. The finish ICOs and decide, since we did not sell everything, let us find a way to give it out and still get more. I have seen two already giving free tokens after ICOs, and one CoinMetro giving out a airdrop for a donation (which is not an airdrop by the way). Makes me wonder if people really understand the concept of airdrop and why they were done before. Now it seems to be just another marketing strategy.

I think in the past, when I read the old threads here, there were probably a lot of people who came in here and even signed up for membership and started discussions before they actually downloaded any wallet or blockchain or bought crypto.

But actually today, I think it happens in the reverse. People buy crypto on sites or they get a wallet, and THEN when they are bored they come here to troll or shill. Or earn more crypto from campaigns and bounties.

Haha. User above. Probably right. Shilling for CoinParliament with very subtle means.

Actually, I would find it strange that OP is asking this question NOW when the tide seems to finally be turning,,, for the first time in months, we are feeling optimism spread throughout the market. When was the last time Bitcoin moved so much AND held the volume AND price?

I can understand the temptation a few weeks ago, worried if things would get worse. But now, now is when you should hold even tighter. The bulls are in sight, not here yet, but coming. Just wait!

I would be careful about such claims you are making. Guaranteed profit in my understanding is guaranteed scam. Crypto gambling even has no such thing as guaranteed profit, I have lost money investing in bankroll too, surprise, surprise. No effort required usually means nothing useful to look for.


Same here. Not working. And yes, more than 10 gaming tokens already, would take such a big uniqueness to create something that can compete. I like Firstblood most of all, but there is another coming that I am really interested in: Triforce.

It will struggle to reach $1 this month, much less $1.50 today. I have a bit of XRP, I do not mind saying so, but purely for speculation as I believe it only has to reach old ATH for me to sell for a quick profit. Today jumped like every other coin. Even the big Santander news did not seem to lift it out of the $1 zone, but we already knew banking with Ripple no longer means an appreciation for XRP.

I thought Bitcoin would hit 9k the last time we saw it rise past 7k, so it is really hard to tell. A lot of people are feeling bullish again though and the buying volumes are really creeping up again, so I guess that is the situation we continue to find ourselves in now. Altcoin gains are huge in current conditions, but they tend to even out after a while with Bitcoin coming stronger as time passes. Alts have trouble holding on to their gains once Bitcoin becomes steady.

That is not THE answer. That is ONE answer. What you must understand about crypto trading is that it is still very new. Yes. Very very new. It will still be new in 5 years. But the signs are showing that crypto cannot go on an upward trend forever, especially with the dilution of altcoins and token projects with no actual value.

Bear in mind this early success happened to most people who took the chance as early adopters. But it is down a lot to luck and to the fortunate event of being "first".

This is the case of pros outweighing the cons, I guess. I am completely against privacy breaches like having to give out KYC, but at the same time, I also hate that people can just scam projects and rob rightful people of the opportunities,,, just like with bounty programs as you mentioned. What I am curious to know is, there must be a way blockchain can help get the benefits of KYC but without people having to give their data away. Like a blockchain to store data, only accessed by AI that can verify, or a system that lets humans verify data but only parts of it, so they never can steal or associate you with something else?

Will there be any requirements for subscribers? I see quite a few happy and energetic Youtubers but they do not have a very large subscription to their channels. The strange thing also is the boring tubers have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Any age limit as well? Surprising but so many teenagers on youtube now talking about crypto. Just enquiring so there is no disappointment for not meeting minimum view/subscriber limits.

There is a term they say in football which I always think to myself about crypto. Form is temporary, class is permanent. And if you look at those Google charts all the while, you still see Monero moving up even after the big announcements in 2016. Bitcoin Cash? They throw money around, pump up and hype up at events. Give it all over the place to corporate suits. And still they get a big "Meh" from people.

Thanks for the post Febo!

What you need to understand about blockchain and cryptocurrency is this. For the moment, they cannot be hacked (at least, I refer to Bitcoin and all other blockchains who more or less take a cue from it).

The theory is that everything can be hacked with enough resources. And because no one has this resources, or will not want to spend it, for now crypto is unhackable.

The hacks you read about are all either exchanges, or smart contract flaws. Not blockchain hacks.

This is just silly to think. Give up on Bitcoin and you give up on the whole crypto market. This is again yet another cycle. We see period from last year even where alts rose as Bitcoin fell, but eventually they all get in line behind Bitcoin and rise and fall together with it. Altcoins still struggle for true quality and true value. Bitcoin already has that and is still building on it.

OP did say not to shit on other coins, but it is allright to point out flaws, and I definitely believe that Verge is one of those coins masquerading with technology but without good developers behind it. This is why my first choice always is Monero. And no, none of the forks. Monero is like Bitcoin, everybody thinks they are better but no one realizes how strong its development is. Or the community.

If that is something big, then I do not know what big is any more. Satoshi emerging from retirement is what would make the cut for me, would you think not? I mean, every day some company is announcing something. This is just another footnote update that people will not even remember in a couple of days. Sorry to ruin the party guys, but that is a fact.

This has been the only place that I have always used to look at hashrate for different networks. Old and good, unfortunately not always super accurate in my experience but it is the only option I know of- https://www.coinwarz.com/charts/network-hashrate-charts

Cannot blame them though even with many people tracking Bitcoin hashrate there is a difference between the numbers. Anyone know of a better source?

There is a good reason that is against the rules as well, as it promotes spam. OP is better off seeking the advice of actual bounty managers on this forum. Engage them to hold your bounty program so they can also enforce rules and select quality members from the beginning. It will cost a bit more than doing it yourself but you should focus on your project anyway and leave the marketing and promotion to the experts.

Hint: My current signature campaign has one of the most respected managers taking care of it. Reputation by association is also great marketing

Cannot believe someone is asking why fees are charged! If you have ever used money before, or any services with digital payments, you must surely have paid fees. Banks charge you fees. ATMs charge you fees. So must exchanges and sites that process your withdrawals. Even miners want their fees. Services. You want to use them, you must pay for it, yes?

The only way to keep this zero or even low is using atomic swap on the zero fee cryptos, the way I see it
