I suggest downloading and use the offline version of Myetherwallet and store it together with your private keys and json files in an offline storage device like a usb drive. I also reckon it's better to buy a new usb drive to seperate your wallets from your other files.

Never store your private keys in a computer that is always online.

Before we put money in your dapp, can you assure us that it is safe and that the code was audited? I read an article that there are about 34,200, more or less, smart contracts and dapps created in Ethereum that are not safe to send funds into.

I reckon we should encourage everyone to start becoming more vigilant and not use dapps without doing any research.



There are hundreds of thousands of similar smart contracts on Ethereum that control wallets, tokens and applications, or hold funds. Now, researchers say they’ve devised a new approach for finding vulnerabilities in smart contracts that would have exposed the flaw DevOps199 exploited before it was too late. Even more, the researchers say they’ve discovered an additional 34,200 vulnerable smart contracts. A sample of roughly 3,000 vulnerable contracts that the team verified could be exploited to steal roughly $6 million worth of ether, Ethereum’s in-house cryptocurrency, they said.

@squatter. I don't really believe that miners would be happy to pay for all overages, whatever that would mean. Miners are like pirates and go wherever there's cheap energy.

Also, I reckon power companies are willing to pay the consumer for usage of excess energy in the form of discounts because energy cannot be efficiently stored. But the locals are not getting screwed, they are maybe mad because the miners are consuming all the discounts hehehe.

@entrepmind23. Can you list the names of those projects that you said pushed through? I am quite sure that none of them has reached a level of adoption that could be considered a success. The tokens might have made some holders some bitcoins, but that's not success.

Also, I do reckon that not one of them are solving real world problems like most of the other projects.

Without reading all the other comments in the thread, my first impression after reading the title is Manny Pacquiao should retire and try not to tarnish his legacy in boxing more.

He already did enough for the sport and I assume that he already made enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life. He is also a senator.

What is he trying to prove?

@eaLity. Yes, as old as Fabricio is, he still wants to win the championship before he retires. It is good for his legacy in the sport and of course the money hehehe.

But he may have to face Francis Ngannou before he is given a chance to fight Stipe. That would be an excellent fight and a tougher match up for Francis than Fabricio, I reckon.

Then add power companies raising their rates for miners and the government adding more expenses by taxing them more, then we might be seeing a concerted attack. Bitcoin is a threat to the banker's business model, so they would either have to change it or kill the competition.

I reckon they see that killing the competition is the cheaper option.

Do you really believe that those tokens will maintain their $1 per token value? Who will carry all the costs? Because I am very sure the market won't. Who would be stupid enough to buy something that you knew was given for free?

Also, the giveaway is more like a promotional giveaway. I am sure there's a trap set here as projects in the cryptospace are always motivated by profit.

Cryptocurrencies are a crock. What social benefits to they provide?”

Stupid question, but I can give 2.

The ability to own a type of money that the senator and his banker puppet masters cannot control.

The ability to make transactions with anyone in the world, without borders that cannot be stopped by the senator and his banker puppet masters.

I am sure there's more. But those 2 are on top of my list.

I just read about Siacoin and Bitmain. The Sia developers are only shady for not allowing an open market for the creation of Asics. They want to corner the market like Bitmain hehehe.

But at least Bitmain did it fair and square. They were simply better than everyone else.

In any case, Aeon. We know Asic manufacturers are profit driven and it would be against their self interest to destroy a coin. Maybe it would be a good test drive on what happens if Asics went in and mined a cryptonote coin?

Yes, I reckon we should. They have the experience in trading, the markets in general and may have also studied economics, banking and finance and behavioural finance. While we on the other hand are nothing but random people in the internet running our mouth like we know a lot about the markets.

Knowing where the bottom will be would be nice hehehe.

But what flaws? How can bitcoin be decentralized and be fast at the same time? If any developer has found a solution, it would have been implemented already.

Also I disagree, bitcoin has been working well enough before all the craziness of Wall Street arrived.

Are there any trusted community members who have been using bitsport.bet lately? I have read many negative reviews but they are mostly from newbie accounts.

I made some small deposits with them last year and had no problems trying to withdraw. But just trying to make sure if they are still safe. Thank you.

This would be the worst time to invest in ICOs because the whole market is rubbish. I reckon many of the ICOs would be more vulnerable to market crashes now and their founders more willing to become scammers and run away and take whatever they can than lose it all.

Or maybe they might find a way to make it look like they ran out of ICO funds or something hehehe.

@Fuhre. Sorry but we might not see a repeat of bitcoin's 2017 performance in a long time. I might be wrong, but I say give it at least 2 years before we can see a new all time high again.

Instead of trying to trick ourselves into keeping the faith, we should accept our losses and take the them like real men.

We have been laughing at fund managers and analysts from Wall Street, but are they really trying to spread FUD or are they telling us the truth that we cannot accept?

Also, has the bubble not already burst or is Allianz's Stefan Hofrichter trying to tell us that it might fall some more?



"It appears to us that bitcoin mania is a textbook-like bubble – and one that is probably just about to burst," the asset manager's head of global economics and strategy, Stefan Hofrichter, said in an online post distributed Friday. "As a currency and asset class, bitcoin has potentially fatal flaws – which is why we believe it's a matter of when, not if, the bitcoin bubble will pop."

Bitcoin has fallen sharply since leaping 2,000 percent in the 12 months through December to a record high above $19,000. The cryptocurrency was trading near $8,700 on Wednesday, according to CoinDesk's bitcoin price index.

The cryptocurrency "ticks all of the boxes that we consider to be essential criteria of any asset bubble," including a fivefold surge in trading volumes over the last five years, lack of financial regulation and the launch of related financial instruments such as bitcoin futures, the Allianz report said.

What? The latest news is Amanda Nunes will still go on and fight in UFC 226 versus Chris Cyborg, that is if Amanda wins in UFC 224 and if she is cleared to fight by the UFC with no injuries.

Chris Cyborg is already preparing her camp and Valentina Shevchenko will be in it to help her.

Does she know what she's really saying? Did her blog come from her own research or from those people around her who might not have done the proper research and therefore might know nothing about cryptocoins and blockchains?

Blockchains for AI and biometrics? Will they now start becoming like the blockchain scammers?

They could be used to remove the pollution from the cryptospace? So bitcoin is the pollution?

This is bad comedy.



"The same innovations that power crypto-assets can also help us regulate them. To put it another way, we can fight fire with fire," Lagarde wrote in an IMF blog post on Tuesday.

In the post, Lagarde also said that cryptography, in addition to AI and biometrics, could be used to "remove the "pollution" from the crypto-assets ecosystem."

This is a pivot from their original vision of acting as a core infrastructure for facilitating cross border transactions among banks.

I reckon that after all those trials done, no bank is seriously considering Ripple as an alternative to message passing systems like SWIFT.

Bad news for XRP holders hehehe.

Which group of developers have delayed the hard fork, the MoneroV scammers? Because I reckon the Monero development team also has a hard fork scheduled this month.

Is that article also implying that Monero is only being pumped because of the MoneroV fork which risks in exposing your privacy in Monero?

In any case, the article should make it clear that MoneroV might be a pump and dump.
