How can anyone not love BUMBA? It's got a smiley face for a logo, that alone is a good start. Then you have some of the more unique ways of giving away free BUMBA to the community. Don't forget that cryptobetfair.com has free BUMBA also with the /beg function there. Play some fun gaming, the Bumba spin has some great sound effects.

Now in the news I've seen that Paris Hilton is getting behind a crypto coin, Mayweather is also getting in the crypto game. Who would be an ideal celeb to get behind BUMBA?

Technically you're correct, realistically it's horrible advice.

Grab the whole wallet.dat, dumping the private key is asking for trouble unless you are absolutely certain there are no hidden change addresses.
File -> Backup Wallet is simple and the best advice for newer users.

It's been years since there has been any confirmed Satoshi communications. The article makes it sound like he's still actively involved in the project and contacting people. Not to say he may not be, for all I know he is involved using various aliases. (If so Hi Satoshi, thanks for your work!). Of course why would the real Satoshi want to come forward? Being worth that kind of money causes security issues. Better to live on in anonymity and chuckle at various articles like these.

You and hundreds of other users suddenly were blacklisted from the airdrop. Check out your deeponion.org status to see if you've been blacklisted or not.  If you are blacklisted or denied, look in the DO community forums under support and you can at least lodge a complaint.  As it is you missed out on 7.

Code can always do something odd and unexpected, especially on a volunteer non-paid project like a crypto coin. "It's not a bug, it's a feature" does happen. However to suddenly drop lots of previous backers is unexpected. For a very busy forum backed coin that is doing the biggest air drop on these forums to have rule following backers shrivel up so badly doesn't make much sense. I'd blame some new procedures not acting as anticipated.  I'm sure the devs are scrambling to figure out what's happening, will wait for the analysis to see what's going on.

Thanks for the info on yourself and what you'll be doing with the coin. I'm glad Max didn't join the White Walker's army as a dead coin.. there is some life to Max after all. At one time it had a large following so perhaps this will bring a few back. I still have a small bit of them and instead of dumping for nothing I'll hang on and see what happens. Good luck on updating the project.

Welcome zopply

Don't just use the site as a faucet and take your coins and run. If you bid in at least one auction a day you will get free daily BUMBA.  Or better yet, use those coins to win more. ONION has risen to $4 a coin, or get some more DOGE with the BUMBA and vice versa. You usually come out ahead by bidding.

The Panana Papers didn't have many from the USA in it, was mostly european. I've heard a few passing comments on some getting in trouble but that's not where I get most of my news.

Chase is getting worse with cash deposits. They now request your ID when putting cash into your own account. It's a business account, businesses take cash for work. Oddly enough if I use the ATM and do a cash deposit no ID is required. Or a night deposit.  Go to a teller and they'll need an ID. I tried to ask why big brother was so bothersome, the last teller had no idea what I was referring to by big brother.

Do you have any personal history of actually using that service? If so how did it turn out for you? 0.1 BTC for a service that gives no actual examples makes me wonder. It could be entirely legit. Although a nice website alone may not be enough enticement for me to give them a try.

Deeponion has been growing their community nicely with their airdrop. Simple enough rules, easy to sign up. Sure there are some posting requirements but decent, quality posts on a forum site is really not all that overly hard. I will be surprised if any airdrops can get any traction for the next 33 weeks of deeponion running theirs.

Having a coin actually usable at a few places would be a nice change from alt coins that don't have a use other than exchanges. The typical things of faucets and having at least one gaming site to use the coin should be a given. Something more interesting or unique may help promote a coin also.

Smart contracts are coming to waves supposedly by year end. They already have a large community of users and have a pro-active approach on developing useful features. I hope it keeps growing,  I won't be surprised when they get into the top 10 of market cap coins.

If the devs successfully roll out DeepSend - anonymous transactions - then they join a small list of crypto that handles that sort of transaction. Tor p2p networking, combined with real anonymous transactions, would make it really stand out. The more differentiating factors the better for pricing.  At the current rate, if it stays growing as it is, puts it around $20 by the end of the air drops.

Natural news, really? I mean if Alex Jones and info wars didn't at least spout about it how can we give it any validity   Although I joke, the thought that infowars has press credentials to the white house is scary. I guess they're the real fake news?

Have you talked to dropbox to see if they happen to archive closed accounts? I'd talk to the data recovery experts. Some firms managed to pull data from drives from the twin towers after they fell. If they can handle that sort of damage an overwritten file may be easy for them to get back.

I actually did this a few years ago when bitcoin spiked in late 2013. I bought 50 x 290x video cards. Had a semi truck show up delivering pallets of goodies. I had over 100 AMPs of power draw all winter long. The boiler never kicked on. I spaced them around the house and kept them out of the bedrooms enough to not be overly loud and I still had to open windows since it was too warm otherwise.   I had to put a few machines other than the house as I ran out of breaker space.   Once the weather got nicer I sold most things on ebay and craiglist for what I paid for.  I primarily mined MAX as that was rather profitable, changing it up when other coins were worth mining.  I came out money ahead so it was a nice experiment but after that winter alt - ASICs were hitting so it wasn't worth doing any longer.

The whole winter I half expected cops to knock on the door because of the spike in electrical use and the non-standard heat making it look like a grow house!

You realize you may never be able to use paypal again? They do require a lot of info to get accounts nowadays and matching you up with a closed account won't be overly hard. They are still one of the most common payment services online and if you use ebay it's required.  If you just want to buy bitcoin with a CC, use coinbase. They allow that.

Did you take over max because it was a dead coin with a potential community ready to go, or did you get passed the torch from max himself - or whomever was running it for him? The development update didn't seem to cover that part.

ONION is still up 36% from yesterday. I wouldn't call that ruining the market at all.  Also for all we know it's not a dumper but someone who was solely buying and selling on the exchange.
