81  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Buyouts and Mergers in Cryptocurrencies? on: May 11, 2017, 06:04:48 AM
I have never heard about it. But when that happens it is going to be very interesting. I wonder which is the first coin.
82  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: can we admit segwit SF is never going to get 95% approval? on: May 10, 2017, 04:15:03 AM
Last 144 blocks (24 hours) , its only 20.1%.

I mean, come on guys...

Current proposal from core is not gonna happen.   If you really want Segwit, you need to back segwit HF.

If nothing of these two camp give way or come into consensus and agreed to merge their proposal, then the solution for Bitcoin scaling that they proposes will never happen.  They will be forever in stale since both camp are holding aces that can prevent each other from implementing the "fix"  to scalability issue.

No winners, only losers. Do you think that the price is being jeopardized?

This topic is going to be very interesting to read. I think that this situation will take some time to resolve. In the meantime altcoins are eating chunks of BTC's market share and cap.

Yeah, I think a lot of the ripple coins are still controlled by developers if I recall correctly. It is definitely very volatile lately which is a day traders dream I guess.

That is correct, Ripple is a centralized coin.

89  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why does every new tech require an ICO? Is it just the funding? on: May 07, 2017, 05:37:17 AM
I have been in 2 unsuccessful startups (not crypto related) one as a cofounder and the other as an employee.

Back then people asked us "why are you raising money from friends and family?"

Reasons of why startups are exploiting the ICO funding:

1) No Commitment: If you go broke you don't have to pay back to frnds and fam, as oppose to a loan.
(My philosophy: I only asked and accepted money from family and friends that were in a +good financial position, and after 2-3 years I gave back all the money that was left.)

2) It's Trending: Cryptocoins are hot right now, everyone want to invest in the "next" Bitcoin, and get that sweet 25% bonus as early investor.
What I have learn after being scammed*: if you have good: marketing, website, bitcointalk ANN, and a well redacted "smart" whitepaper you can raise money really fast.
(*I was scammed in Ascendacy's ICO, my first ICO investment, but thankfully got the majority of the money back thanks to someone from this forum.
NEVER INVEST IN AN ICO THAT: YOU DON'T SEE THE TEAM MEMBERS NAMES, FACES, AND THEIR LINKEDIN. And of course do at least a little on research on them
)

3) FUNDING: People raise way more money than needed, it is faster and easier than pitching the idea to friends, family, investors, bank, going startup competitions, doing networking

4) You are your own boss: You don't have to give stocks and equity to investors (pieces of your company), you keep control of your company, and have the same share before and after the funding.

I have an announcement I am starting and ICO hahah if I only knew how to code... my programmer friends know anything about btc, not even buying some in coinbase

The 3.000.000 XEMS requirements to open a node sucks, A while ago after I finished configuring my server to open a node, just before launch was when I noticed my mistake for not reading the requirements.
91  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BTC is DYING, LONG LIVE THE NEW KING LTC on: May 06, 2017, 05:16:26 AM
The slow transactions and high fees hurt BTC , the altcoins gained terrain and inertia  because of that

98  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][COS] COSMOS, network of blockchains on: April 06, 2017, 09:38:38 PM
 Angry another ICO I can get into...

First Melonport sold out in the first 20mins, then citizens of my country couldn't invest in Mainstreet.ky, and now Cosmos sold out also... At least I was able to get into WeTrust.

Guys what other ICO are you waiting for it to launch?
