I don't care really, I was busy investing in projects I actually respect; such as Litecoin, BitBay, and Sia to name a few

Storj dev holds +80% of the supply and is now having it's second ICO. Sia is fairly mined, more so than the vast majority of crypto currencies, and it's software seems more stable and I have found it easier to use. Sia is better and that is why it is worth 4-5x the value of Storj right now, Sean seems to be completely missing the point of crypto by centralizing everything and unless he wants to send the majority of his premine to a burn address, he's going to continue to get his ass handed to him by David Vorick, and rightfully so.
If any of you care about moral implications of crypto currency in any way shape or from, the choice here should be obvious.
PS: Sia is developed by Nebulous Labs which is based in Boston, Massachusetts. This an American project and not Asian in any way, no idea where people got that idea, simply because it is listed on Yunbi?
edit: I'll also add that I have seen the Storj dev Sean trolling in the Sia slack channel multiple times, I haven't exactly seen him act professionally there.

I wonder what John Titor would say about Bitcorns...
In the future the only currency is potatoes, stock up now! |

It will probably be $100 before the end of 2017, don't let the dip scare you.

New England is gay as fuck and the whole area is basically natural disaster proof. Matter of fact the gayer areas of this planet seem to generally be nicer places to live, kind of wrecks his whole thesis, guess god actually loves gay people.

Anyone that thinks a centralized ICO coin is going to get an ETF before Bitcoin is on some serious drugs.

Not sure about Iota's exact distribution, but I never heard of it once until several weeks after it was already concluded; and I am in this industry full-time, so if anyone was going to hear about it, I should have been one of them. It seems pretty clear to me that the people that run these ICO's generally under advertise in order to buy into their own projects and pick of huge amounts of the supply early on, they can then say that "anyone could have bought in" and as a result it looks better than having a flat out premine. I think Ethereum is guilty of the same general strategy.
IOTA was announced in advance. The only reason it raised relatively small amount of BTC is because it was the end of the bear market and all coins were very cheap, interest in ICOs was very low. Besides, the team haven't really delivered with their previous project which raised even more concerns. It was a long wait until IOTA even went live and i thought several times that it may have been scam. Many initial investors sold part of their stake to hedge the risk. Anyone who were interested in buying IOTA could have done it as their was more than enough time. If you were in this full-time and didn't hear about upcoming IOTA ICO, then you did a poor job, no offense. None of that excuses them, and that last sentence is just plain wrong do not insult me, they fucking under-advertised and it looked pretty deliberate. If anything, their inability to get their coin listed on any exchanges looks like a clear play to be able to pick up more of the supply OTC before market release (if that ever even happens). Besides it's not even clear if they can get the thing to work without centralized servers anyway. Anyone that wants to invest in a DAG should invest in ByteBall, which is already live and running on exchanges, and it far more realistic with what it aims to accomplish. Iota is pie in the sky bullshit. |

IOTA and Nxt should absolutely both be on this list. Neither were really properly advertised before their respective ICO's, I think I remember seeing a figure with Nxt that less than a hundred people bought into the ico, (can anyone confirm that?) not good. Not sure about Iota's exact distribution, but I never heard of it once until several weeks after it was already concluded; and I am in this industry full-time, so if anyone was going to hear about it, I should have been one of them. It seems pretty clear to me that the people that run these ICO's generally under advertise in order to buy into their own projects and pick of huge amounts of the supply early on, they can then say that "anyone could have bought in" and as a result it looks better than having a flat out premine. I think Ethereum is guilty of the same general strategy. While I don't have much in the way of "proof" for my above claim, it really just feels obvious. I honestly think 99% of ICO's should be on this list. The only one I can think of right now I would exempt would be BitBay, given that the price cratered after the ICO and the price stayed low for 2 years. You can also add Steem to this list, they had a ninja mine early in the distribution, again using under advertising to their advantage to be able to effectively have most of the mining to themselves. @Smooth was able to get ~1% of their coin supply just because he figured out their plan early, how much could the devs have mined? You can also add both Ripple and Storj, those are two project where I know the dev's have the majority of the supply. It would be much easier and faster to collect all the coins that doesn NOT have terrible initial distributions...
Lol, you unfortunately might be on to something. |

Compare to bittrex
I prefer to use bittrex, although polo has better graphs, feature but
Poloniex has one major issue which is it the site always freeze, i cannot let it run on tab if i don't need it, it will just freeze there.
Any solution for this?
Thanks
yes it loads slower compared to bittrex in my personal experience. and i disagree about charts, bittrex has way better charts than polo. you can not draw any line or do any analysis on polo's charts (not that i am doing it but bittrex has it  ) as a solution there is a little option down below the orderbook (not sure about exact place) which is called delay update. click it and select a bigger interval and that should reduce the activity and possibly make things faster and not freeze. +1 that definitely does help things, they also have the "group listings" option that thins out the order book as well. I don't usually have trouble with Poloniex, but when it does slow down its during peak hours, when there are 1000's of bitcoin worth of assets changing hands in under an hour. I would agree that you can do more with Bittrex's charts, but I have always found Polo's to be more user friendly |

bitbay
blocknet
ltc
Not sure about Blocknet given Dan Metcalf's history, but the other two I would agree might be the best investments you can make in crypto right now. |

This is not true, the opposite happens historically - when BTC goes up ALTS follow.
were you living under a rock this past December? They eventually do, but there is always a lag, btc price rise has always hurt alt prices in the short term. |

Despite all the hype, ETH in it's current state is good for fuck-all; it is essentially just a rube-goldberg version of bitcoin, and none of the extra bells and whistles are really good for anything. Now I won't say that it can't overtake bitcoin, but rather that in a rational and logical world it shouldn't; and as I'm sure we all know, those are two things that are often lacking in this world.

Wow, the mods of Bitcointalk really are disgusting human beings. Banning one of the only good posters they had left, but leaving signature campaigns alive and well, and doing nothing about the litany of scams being pushed through their site since early 2014.
mprep and Theymos, you are both terrible human beings and you are deliberately slowing down the advancement of crypto through your actions.
I don't know how you guys sleep at night

thanks for the links I suggest if you want this post to not disappear, you must quote it numerous times. Quoting this post means you hate censorship and that you want a decentralized forum with all data stored on a blockchain that no one can manipulate. This is technologically plausible. @iamnotback appears to still be active on Reddit and on Pastebin both of which are also not trustworthy because some assholes can control the centralized database. All this centralized shit must die and be replaced by decentralized blockchains. There is no need for mods to have this authority to absolutely censor anything. Each user can choose their own mods, and the data from the blockchain can be filter for the user according to their personal choices. Different users can choose different moderators. This will be a vast improvement in degrees-of-freedom (and thus potential energy) over this forum and other shitty centralized services on the Internet. All of them are going to die, including Facebook and Google. The centralized shit will wither away and Theymos will become irrelevant. This is war now. “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
The pattern for LTC is 25 times longer in duration than the corresponding pattern from March.
Thus we'll see a low of 0.0095 more than once before we will see a high 0f 0.05 later this year. Patience is a virtue but taking profits above 0.01 every time is for the wise.
I heard that many users of this forum are still looking for a decentralized forum alternative due to Theymos taking much BTC in donations and then never improving the software of the forum.
The end of this nonsense is near.
I have to wonder whether speculating in the speculation thread was what got you banned or if it was something you said that was a little too close to the structure of a behind-the-scenes plan? Will be watching price movement. Bitcoin and all of the majors (ETH, XMR, DASH, ZEC, DASH, XRP) are up except for LTC which appears to be inversely correlated. What's especially nice about that is that the possibility exists to remain entirely in crypto without having to jump out to fiat for large trading profits. Of course, chasing money is an annoying necessity that we could all do without... The mods deleted this post. I am now creating an copy of this page of this thread at archive.org. The mods are censoring the information that @coinling and others asked me to provide. A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted. Shelby was one of the only posters left that made coming to this forum still worth the time, if he is banned I honestly see this forum becoming irrelevant very quickly. |

I'm sure anyone that tried shorting got rekt, SDC fanboys also got rekt. Beyond that I can't think of any way one could have lost money on these markets in the last month

sell Storj and buy Sia, Storj is centralized
|

One thing worth mentioning is that the Storj Dev team controls I believe over 80% of the coin supply (forget the exact amount but it was a wide majority). Sia however has been mined fairly for the most part and is more fairly distributed, they do have the Sia Fund coin (not listed on exchanges and given out to early investors and many to the devs as well) which distributes ~3.5% mining rewards of sia to the holders; overall though it is not a huge amount of coins going to any one party through that, certainly much more fair than a majority pre-mine.
If anyone wants to clarify these figures please do, I don't have the time to go digging right now.

I don't see it going below 700k, and if it does I doubt it will last long. Might be a good time to re-up
