Reorg needs 51% of hash rate but how could this single miner get 51% of ETC hash?
This is either a 51% attack from some large mining pools or a completely unidentified bug with the ETC and probably ETH blockchain.
They are also asking for stopping deposit and withdrawal while continue with mining the coin in current state.

For a country that has it's previous physical ballot election interfered by a foreign government, an email voting would be a disaster. What if the Russians hacked again and this time elected Putin as the President?
It would be better to let the coronavirus crisis settle which may take a couple of more years and go through elections when everything gets normal.
803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Traditional Crypto online gambling sites against Crypto based gambling sites on: August 01, 2020, 11:38:45 AM
I think it would be better to classify them as off chain and on chain gambling sites.
On chain gambling was quite popular on early days of bitcoin but increase in transaction fees and slowing down of network sprouted on chain gambling.
The only benefit of off chain gambling are they can achieve that without a fee and quickly but with newer gambling oriented coins with nearly zero and instant fees, on chain gambling are catching up. If there's a similar alternative of both sites, I'd always prefer on chain gambling sites.

https://www.publish0x.com/boyka/corona-coin-another-exit-scam-yes-it-is-the-third-time-xklnxp?a=l9avrPVaG1&tid=scam3


It is the third time 1 developer exit scams, they are making a new coin for a third time, i also think the developers have another project called Proof of Nature. Be carefull.

Why people even give money to these obvious scam. It's better not to venture everywhere and stick to some prominent exchange IEO and tested coins. Even if you missed investing in a good coin, you can easily buy them cheap when they get listed on the exchange. So, don't dive on every IPOs and IEOs from less popular exchanges.
805  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what's your favourite coin and token ? on: August 01, 2020, 10:01:40 AM
I have mostly used bitcoin am holding it in largest amount and so is my most favorite coin. I was at a time used to gambling with Dogecoin and still is my favorite coins when it comes to moving between exchanges. I no more hold any altcoins except some ETH but Tron is getting some of my attention. If they keep on improving, I'll need to invest on Tron.
806  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do we know Ampleforth is not a ponzi? on: August 01, 2020, 12:46:01 AM
did you mean this ampleforth my friend https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ampleforth
i think this is good altcoins, because this alts stand as the TOP 50 coins at coinmarketcap, the exact rank is 40 for now
and as i knew only a good altcoins project can be there my friend

Bitconnect was for some time the 3rd coin by marketcap. Market cap is not a measure of goodness.
I haven't exactly studied about Ampleforth but if the change in price is the only reason for it to increase or decrease the price than it's surely a ponzi. Change in supply can be justified on coins that are freezing or releasing another coin or fiat to accommodate the price. There need to be value that should determine the price, not the other way around.
807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Like to hear what crypto sportsbook you are using? on: July 31, 2020, 01:52:26 AM
Sportsbet, been using it for more some years now, it's not that they have the best odds but for some reason they feel like home. As a small gambler, the boost odds feature just works for me. And their selection of casinos and pokers are huge. So, are their sports selection, rare is the incident when I don't find a game I want to bet on with sportsbet.
I've used Nitrogenbet in the past, they still have one of the best odds better than sportsbet.
Fairlay, best odds. They also have events to bet on but are not as flexible on amount and never could I fully understood how it works.
808  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Too Many Altcoins! on: July 30, 2020, 04:58:31 PM
Do you ever wonder why there are many altcoins today? I was just thinking that since the main objective of cryptocurrency is to ease payment. Why would people create so much altcoins when people can only use bitcoin as a payment gateway? Are the founders of every altcoins creating their token for money?

It's a free and unregulated market and it's both good and bad. It's always good to have more options but people and developers would also get divided for gain of individual project which may diminish the overall motive of cryptocurrency. With so much divergence on crypto, enterprises and government would soon dominate the crypto share of market as they have the capacity to bring better tech on crypto and advertise.
809  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More and more moved Bitcoins from "Bitfinex Hack 2016" to unknown wallet-adress on: July 30, 2020, 04:31:22 PM
It's hard to redeem that money without getting noticed. The hackers would move it slow and to so much many address that it would get difficult for the people to keep a track and maybe make them go through some mixtures to turn the coins white. They would ofcourse not used any centralized exchanges as they'll easily get caught at the moment.
810  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PlusToken Ponzi Goes To Jail on: July 30, 2020, 02:53:15 PM
And it makes me wonder that people are taking such risk for easy money. They knew China is a hard place to run a ponzi and not get arrested but they did it anyway. There's ought to be other links to the ponzi as most of these Chinese operation are masterminded from outside. There are instances of Chinese scammers establishing offices outside Chinese jurisdiction to target Chinese people for scam.
811  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Chinese Firms Collaborate With Chinese Central Bank to Launch Digital Yuan on: July 30, 2020, 04:16:46 AM
That doesn't seem to be good news at all. Remember china has already started to issue its own digital currency and that means it will not consider crypto as a choice to be used in china. The good news when crypto has a chance to create a bridge with it.
Why not? The one they will issued is also a digital currency and they had supported many blockchain as of now it supported 6 blockchains and they arr planning to add 100 more. They will used their own of course but it does not mean they can restrict other users in their country to be able to buy, sell and trade, other cryptocurrency product. They are just going to recommend their own but nothing will change as it is. Only the fact that many chinese will be gaining more idea since their country favor the blockchain integration.

Though it may be an opposite path to crypto as imagined by satoshi but it would be a step forward for blockchain development and a leap for adoption. The development part would be more positive as other project could learn from the use and operation of digital yuan. The adoption section may discourage users to go towards traditional crypto but their approach would be worth learning even for open source projects.
812  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETHER IS BULLYING on: July 29, 2020, 04:13:19 PM
People are too much excited about ETH 2.0 for sure. It could be a good strategy to accumulate ETH at cheaper price and sell them before the new network is live as you can't be sure about the what direction the price would go after the launch. But again many people are already disappointed by no significant rise in price of bitcoin after the halving.
813  Other / Archival / Re: TRON BLACKJACK: BEST TRX BETTING SITES on: July 29, 2020, 03:10:07 PM
If you want a hassle free experience, Tron's on chain gambling site are great. They won't ask for your KYC and you don't even need to deposit your funds their as you can directly gamble on chain getting profit back on your wallet. Tron gambling sites like wink for almost every form of gambling, 888tron and xdapp for slots and cards and rocketgame for crash games. Though tron is not my favorite coin but the onchain gambling just lures me in. Gives some nostalgia of gambling on directbet.eu.
814  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SIMPLE ADVICE TO ALL NEW TRADERS on: July 29, 2020, 01:49:54 PM
People trade for different reasons and with different strategy. A trading strategy for long hodlers won't be the same as a short term holder, traders who profits from price fluctuations and the day traders who earns from trading. The priorities of event traders may not be same as of a grid trader. You first need to set your priority and devise a strategy for your own.
815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should there be any age limit of Gambling? on: July 29, 2020, 12:41:38 PM
Every one as a kid do gamble some money of a local fair or carnival but that's much different than professional gambling.
The age limit for gambling is in place as a kid can't be held fully responsible for their actions as they have a fluid mind.
Most of the time a kid don't have a source of income and if they gamble, they'd be gambling their parents money and mostly without a consent.
It's necessary to make it hard for kids below 18 to gamble but on 18, people became much more in control of their own life. So, I consider 18 being the age of economic independence.
816  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase CEO Says Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Must Evolve to Reach Mass Adoption on: July 28, 2020, 02:06:04 PM
We must realize that there's no definite use case of the world cryptocurrency and any blockchain based coin could be considered crypto if they prefer to call themselves. And we cannot force anyone to create anything. The market itself would decide what they want to see and what not. But some external factors like ease of trading and legality too would effect the adoptivness of coins.
817  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Illegal mass adoption on: July 26, 2020, 01:08:35 PM

https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-scammer-sentenced-by-south-korean-authorities

comparing the years of sentence and the amount involved?i believe that this is not fair.

Muhammad has capital while these scammers only lure and take money from people.
The koreans were not named Mohammad. Your name being Mohammad adds up the years.
The man running the bitcoin ATM was not registered anywhere and was using cash from undisclosed sources. He was not just running an illegal business but was also laundering money for others. And with the suggestive name, he might have also been involved in funding of terrorism from the US.

Court Rules Bitcoin Is a Form of “Money” Under Washington D.C. Money Transmitters Act
https://btcmanager.com/court-rules-bitcoin-money-washington-dc-money-transmitters-act/




IMO, this news could be huge news for the entire crypto community I think this will bring us one step closer to mass adoption. What do guys think?

This could legalize bitcoin but it would also bring more regulations relating to it and would be taxable and counted upon income and other taxes.
In my opinion, bitcoin use was never a threat in an open society like US but it's categorization as money would provide more power to the authorities to control it. Though the consequences would be clearer with the passing time.
819  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Could this be the best time to invest? on: July 26, 2020, 12:50:06 PM
It largely depends on how you approach the market and what were your strategy in the past. Some economist do say that you need to buy on a bull run and sell on a bear. It would be also a good time to buy if you plan to sell it short and cash in quick profit. But you also need to be ready to bear a quick loss if the market suddenly changes it's direction.
820  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What more can a project teams wish for ??? on: July 26, 2020, 11:51:04 AM
It's always for the best interest of the project if they use top exchanges to raise fund, there will be better results

1. Enough money for future developments
2. High trading volumes and enough liquidity
3. Exposure to more investors and whales and even traders

what more can a project team want?

This is why I've Zero my mind that serious projects will always aim for top exchanges, the results are already clear as crystal

I've too stopped searching for projects anywhere else. If I'm investing, it would be on the top exchanges IEO, it's even a lucky draw to buy IEO on binance. I don't bother investing in IEO and ICO anywhere else. If any of those projects were promising and made it to popularity, I can still buy them on secondary market with the profit I've made from other IEOs.
