I haven't done "massive losses" but did some bad decisions and bought both siacoin and digibyte in 2017. But I haven't sold yet so they might bounce back up one day, I still believe they will. I don't mind holding but I wish I never bought them since I could have used that money to make a lot of profit from other coins.

It is still profitable to mine but for some of us who pay 0.25 cent per kilowatt it's not much meat left on the bones after expenses to keep me really motivated as a miner. This can change very fast though in crypto if market goes up. I will continue mining with what I got until my cards stops working but I will not upgrade.

Not sure if you looking for fast profit or long term investment but here are my 2 favorite coins that I myself have invested in.

Fusion - Great potential still trading just over ICO price.

Nexus - Old coin no ICO or premine, great tech and the founder is a genius. Very big potential.

I've known from the first time I read about XSPEC that it was a completly useless shitcoin. And not to talk about all the spamming going on here on bitcointalk. For ones and for all can we just let this shitcoin die.

I wouldn't buy any of them to be honest if I only had $200 to invest and with that amount buy only 1 top 2 altcoins. Have a look at new comers that just finish ico and trading around ico price. That's your best bets to maximize your profit. With only $200 to invest you have to go high risk with the possibility to to do 10x at least.

Electroneum using CryptoNight algo and is mined with gpu's and cpu's just like Monero. So how do you mean electroneum is not secured by mining? The mobile mining is not actually mining on the blockchain which means it dosen't use any battery or cpu power. It's a simulation, like a game, where you can earn ETN by running a "miner" on your phone.

I think Faceter ICO looking promising. They have raised almost $19million so far and are on their way to reach hardcap which I think they will before the end of ico.

That would be a very uncertain income source. First of all you don't even know if they are going to pay you or how much. Second, you don't know when or even if they will hit a axchange and most importantly at what price. But eventhough all this I'm sure here are people doing a fulltime income just from bounties. Depending on where in the world you live even $1000 a month is a lot of money.

Love it! Seems like the Koreans start to accumulate a lot of Nexus. Upbit (korean exchange) has almost twice the volume as bittrex today. Let's see where the price settles.

I would say its impossible to rank up with the new merit system unless you post something really extraordinary, like a guide on how to get free bitcoin or something. People who already ranked up before this of course likes the new merit system since its less people in signature campaings with high ranks which allows them earn more money. So I feel sorry for new members who didn't rank up to at least to full member before all this merit system took place.

I will probably never cash out everything unless the hole market crashes. But my plan is to make enough money in crypto to secure my future and never need to worry about money.

I think most of us in the beginning of our crypto trading career have done mistakes like that. All we can do is hold until it goes back again. If you don't sell you have actually not lost anything right? If it's a dying project on the other hand its better to sell and take your loss then wait just to lose even more money.

The question is how can we make it harder for these scumbags using our identity? What if we watermark any pictures we upload with the date and name of the project, wouldn't that make it harder to sell ID's later on? I'm thinking if they are trying to use our id's for KYC or any other instances where uploading id document is required they will fail if they are watermarked. Sure they can try remove it but that's quiet a lot of work I guess.

As long as you have a good system in place to keep track of them all I think there is no maximum amount but of course holding shit coins for any longer time is not a very good idea and will just make you lose money long term. You only want to hold the really good projects for longer time (over a year) that have a shot at the top 10. Other not so promising projects is much better to keep until there is a pump then sell because in the long term they will have a slow death.

The only ones who have a decent amount to give is Hero/Legendary but they don't give noobs they only giving it to each other. So for a new member to rank up and become a full member will takes many years (if ever) instead of before just few months. Apperently the elite (who already are Hero/Legendary) here like it that way so just have to accept it or find another forum.

The 2 most promising projects in 2018 so far is Wanchan and Fusion. Both of them have potential to be in the top 10.

Wanchain haven't been released on any exchanges yet but should in any day/week. If you want to grab some cheap wan make sure you are ready when they hit exchanges because price will most definetly go up quick since a lot of hype around it.

Fusion is currently traded on bibox and cobinhood just over ICO price. If you want to invest here pick it up now since price won't stay this cheap for long when main net will be online in a couple of months.

Anyway that's my 2 top pick for 2018 and If you read their whitepaper you will understand that they will go big.

I just logged in and was planning to withdraw some ETN from cryptopia to my electroneum wallet but it say wallet is in maintenance since feb 21. Not sure if its cryptopia or electroneums problem but it is annoying when its the only exchange available at the moment.

You can read more about it on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Electroneum/comments/7zvxll/etn_practically_untradeable_right_now/

Have to agree with the gentleman above. You might make some quick money but defiently not something you would hold on to.

Sure it will get pumped if listed on binance but long term Dent is not a good investment in my opinion. Much better invest your money in more long term projects with bigger visions like decentralized internet making internet available anywhere in the world, anytime which would make Dent useless.

Been waiting a long time for this. Best looking wallet I've seen. Hopefully it will be released soon can't wait to try it out.
