Apple and low cost?  Nonsense story.

Samsung confirmed a while back they are manufacturing mining ASICs but seemed as part of chip foundry business not branded consumer product.

The reaction to the lows in January was a dead cat bounce.  This current trend has been sustained and broken through technical trends/resistance.  Not substantially though, and maybe thats a virtue, what most people really need is a month or two of steady consolidation and allowing other coins to find their true values.

Its just a shorthand, its come over from world of stock and currecny trading where they are used to save space on displays.  Instead of arbitary length instrument name, say Apple or Berkshire Hathaway, you get APPL or BRK.A, which line up nicely.

... As long as you're within 100m of other nodes 

Its good for the growth of the actual product but its not great for token value to peg price to a depreciating market.  Storage gets cheaper and especially when there are these new fangled entrants competing to lower the cost.

Lots of hype, little delivery.  Go look at the github, for a project raised so much money and supposed to have dev team in place, they dont do much.

Who wants stable currency, stable doesn't go to Lambo moon!

What evidence is there for demand?  On launch they hit their softcap of 8 million very early, but contributions didn't change for days.  Then they pulled the tracker and just say "8 million sold" weeks later.  14 days to go i think they are struggling to make interest.

It is simple, though perhaps communications poor. 

White list members have been given a low cap to allow everyone white listed to participate.  You know, instead of a few hundred large investors hovering up everything and thousands of white listed getting nothing.  If you don't think 0.5 ETH is enough, buy more in round 3 if any left or when they become available on market.  If that doesn't suit you because you just wanted to flip a couple of ETH on exchange yourself, well jog on, someone will pick them up in round 3.   

This is how ICO should be conducted, spread distribution widely across those interested.  Compare to Refereum that ditched their entire community by selling out the ICO to some big investors.

If anyone from Credits is monitoring, why oh why not pre-announce there would be allocated time slots.  And for that matter, make it clear that allotted individual caps are reserved for period, if indeed they are.

I see so much right with how this ICO was handled, then bodged and all made wrong at the last minute by not being clear and adding a time slot requirement last minute. 

What happens if sent to address in profit before time slot?  Transaction shows as a success, is that good or is it not registered if outside time slot.

Will they be using the Ripple token or the Ripple network?  The wording suggests the latter, and shouldn't impact on the price except as news seeps out and people buy not recognising there's a difference.  From what i've read all interest from the banking industry is in the ripple software and infrastructure to join counter-parties securely, the coins aren't going to be bought and sold for a transfer.

You should ask why they would want to push the name Bitcoin Core.  It's to alter the Bitcoin image to either make Bitcoin Cash seem an equal, or to in time reclaim/hijack Bitcoin name.

I have no issue with Bitcoin Cash, I believe the purpose of the fork highlighted a problem in Bitcoin that too many are in denial about, however this sort of activity is underhand and they haven't actually gone on to develop Bitcoin Cash so it does end up looking shady.

I like the Pearl project, but to value i cant work out if this is on verge of something or being pushed by bagholders.  Already down its 100x can it go again?  Someone tell me why this isnt its proper value currently.

Dont understand why people think the Chinese sell up for New Year, is there evidence of this?  Do Westerners sell assets for Christmas/Newyear holiday?  No so why assume others do.  The difference is they wont buying as they are busy eating and drinking    So if you hold, it makes not much difference. 

Too much fud in crypto is made by ourselfs, expecting irrational actions, then acting in response when the action has not happened, but doing so make something happen.  It will be westerners *fearing* a sell off that causes a sell off.

Yes, missed this until too late, couldnt get on the list.  Saw Brian Fox and know this is something different from the run of the mill fundraiser, this is going to be the sort of project that becomes foundation of future technologies.

Tron is still PR over development.  Couple of weeks ago Justin tweeted about integration with Peiwo.  Do a search for this now... no further news, there's nothing in field, it must have been just dev lab stuff and they can make any old claim about what happens there.  

The question is, how would Bitcoin Cash address the same issue if it ever got to the same value and usage as Bitcoin currently has?

The day Bitcoin Cash forked, any pretense of limited supply died. 

What is the normal rate for tax on profits in Japan?  Is this similar or same?

Today there are over 1500 cryptos, and new ones come along every day.  I dont believe that 1/10th have long term future, too many are either scams, zombies, jokes, replication or just badly run.  One day te market will realise this and most will indeed fall to nothing.  There *needs* to be a clear out to let the real useful project flourish, allow people to focus on, rather than effort and funds spread so widely.
