Anything transfered over the Lightning Network will see near instant transactions. Speed is pretty important for major adoption, whether you like it or not.

Stakenet's multi currency wallet has Lightning swaps, and a Lightning DEX, enhanching the user experience of BTC and LTC altogether, as everyone will now be able to store send/recieve, and trade instantly.

Here's a preview:

Looking at a projects github doesn't always tell the truth behind a project. Stakenet is building stuff that has never been seen before, and to protect it from thiefs they develop parts of their project in private until release day.

They've been working on a Lightning supported DEX, and a multi currency wallet with Lightning Swaps. It's one big application, has taken more than a year to code, so it's no wonder if they want to protect themselves from projects who could potentially just steal their code, release first, and get all the attention.

If Blocknet truly get's the ball rolling eventually through partnerships and what not, the income potential could be massive I think. It's all just speculation at this point. There's so many "If's" in this game, that you literally take a gamble (based on market fundamentals) each time you invest in a given project.

Pretty optimistic calculations here, but in 5-10 years, sure it could be possible to see those numbers.

Stakenet and their new Lightning Network supported DEX is a great choice, since it's a world's first. Comes as an integrated part of a multi currency wallet with inbuilt Lightning swaps as well (as you can see on the picture below.)

Invented cold staking - Trustless Proof Of Stake
Supported by: Ledger, Trezor, and Xeeda
Will make their own hardware wallet: VIPER
Collaboration with the Litecoin Foundation, since they helped the LTC team integrating Lightning on mainnet.
Cross Chain Proof Of Stake coming.

And much much more!

Once the bull market truly returns, all the major alts will pump beyond belief. This one too.

Here's a pic of the DEX for anyone who's curious about it:

Pretty sure any coin can be added by request, since the network is decentralized? Otherwise, I believe the team focuses on adding projects that has some decent volume, which is in high demand.

That's an impossible prediction to do, however based on market trends, you could argue that decentralization will play a MAJOR part in cryptocurrencies overall moving forward.

All the latest "DEX's" which have been released, most of them not even being decentralized at all... There is a huge demand for something like this, but we need to see proper adoption, before people decide to trade on these DEX's.

Blocknet, being the very first DEX on the open market, is a good bet on a coin, I could easily see return to it's ATH, and actually surpass it too (25X the price from here in USD terms). Could easily 50x next bull run, mainly because they also work on their own decentralized oracle network, which is in beta as of right now.

Do your own research, but I guess this one is a pretty safe bet moving forward.

Blocknet is a nice one. Decentralized DEX, and Decentralized Oracle Network.

I like Waves as well, since the community is pretty strong.

Got my eyes on DIVI as well. (Funny since a huge trade of DIVI was recently OTC traded on the Blocknet DEX. 12 BTC worth actually).

The halving WILL boost the price of BTC, but it may not happen in May, it could very well happen in June or July for that matter (Look at the second halving, took a while to see the uptrend).

Altcoins will go parabolic once we enter a new bull run, decentralized projects (hopefully) leading the pace, this time around.
I'm betting my money on DEX projects, such as Blocknet, Decred, and a few others, as I believe we'll slowly see more and more demand for decentralized trading solutions.

Blocknet was the first DEX to be released to the public, yet has the lowest marketcap, which means it's by far the most undervalued project I know off right now.

Agreed, nice to actually see someone stating the obvious fact, that IDEX is a centralized exchange, trying to fool everyone (like Binance does) with their "DEX".

There's only a few real DEX's out there, the Blocknet DEX being the most decentralized of them all, since it's got 0 centralized points of failures.

Stakenet is by far one of the most promising projects I've seen as of lately. You'd have to have followed the project to truly understand it's potential, but I'll try to explain it briefly here.

1) They helped the Litecoin team with Lightning Network integration on the LTC chain.
2) Stakenet is the industry leader in terms of Lightning Network developments, building and improving the technology in a way that benefits everyone. Their new Lightning DEX, which is an integrated part of a multi currency wallet they've been working on for the past year is bound to be a huge success for the following reasons:

Speed
Ease Of Use
Option To Hold And Trade Multiple Coins

The whole eco-system is ran by masternodes, who will do the dirty work (routing transactions back and forth over the Lightning Network), this means that Lightning node operators already have an incentive to keep them running, since the masternodes is profitable to run from the get-go already.

USDT, Ethereum (and it's tokens) will be integrated as well.

This is just a small, yet important part of Stakenet.

Stakenet invented cold staking, which means that you can stake XSN through their "Trustless Proof Of Stake" protocol.

EDIT: The price already 10X'd from my initial post. There's still room for another 20-50x though, keep reading!

Next superblock is in about 40 hours, so based on that we could see a new influx of hype around the community, making the price rise further, all depends on the rest of the market I guess.

I don't know much about NRG, only that it is a masternode project based on POS. These projects typically moon in the beginning due to people FOMO'ing in to get a few masternodes early on.
What is the actual use case behind this project? What does it provide that creates value? Ask yourself these questions, and you might find the answer.

Blocknet is a masternode coin as well, but been in the game for much much longer, and have recently risen 300% due to:

1) Their DEX gaining more exposure, and users..
2) Their work on XRouter and XBridge (Their own decentralized Oracle network).

Overall, you need to look at market cycles, trends etc.. Everyone is talking about decentralization, 40% of the block rewards goes to the NRG team, making it less decentralized.

Interesting, but a DEX ONLY for Ethereum tokens seems a bit useless, doesn't it?

Stakenet is releasing their Lightning based DEX, which will support ETH, and it's token as well. Unlimited transactions/s if you transact via the Lightning Network. This is an integrated part of their multi currency wallet, where you can hold all your coins as well btw.

Not trying to trash the thread here, but what's the point in an Ethereum DEX? What if I want to exchange my coins for BTC, or any other project not supported by the ETH network?

Please enlighten me.

From my research, it's truly decentralized, since the DEX itself will run on masternodes (same as Blocknet basically), with the exception that the DEX will be supporting Lightning transactions.

Lightning has seen a LOT of hate, and for obvious reasons, there is basically no incentive to run a BTC lightning node, since the fee's involved doesn't benefit the owner that much, however when you run it through a layer of masternodes (already making profit from block rewards), it only ads up as an "extra" income on top of it. Pretty smart!

Not a wise "investment" when their DEX itself is almost on the verge of being released. From this point moving forward, I believe the team will do partnerships with supported projects on the DEX, creating massive exposure, and hopefully we'll see the price rise as dictated by the trading price on the DEX itself.

LTO is a classic PnD that everyone on 4chan/biz knows about. Don't see it coming back anytime soon.

"Reaping the fruits of building", sounds like something that could be said about Stakenet however. Meaning masternodes will reap the benefits of the multiple dApps running on their eco-system, the first one being the worlds first Lightning DEX (Coming real soon).
Do your own research though
