8681  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin GOLD - A well thought Scam? on: October 21, 2017, 10:07:58 AM
Scam or not I'm not supporting it anyways. I really don't care about their goals either. Apparently they want to decentralize mining but I'm not sure if this is the right way to do so, not to mention if it will succeed. Yesterday coinbase announced that they won't be supporting it. Another reason to stay away.

Scam or not does not affect whether or not we get Bitcoin Gold, so I do not think support is a prerequisite for exchanges having the balance transferred to users. If you support it, then you can open a wallet and host trading pairs for it. But if you do not support it, the fork happens regardless. So Coinbase can say they will not support it but if they are keeping the Bitcoin Gold from their users, this is something else.

Anyway, since when is what Coinbase does another reason to stay away from anything?
8682  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: SIA under 60 satoshis on: October 21, 2017, 09:53:01 AM
I am definitely "crying" right now because when I bought SIA, it was just above 105. I thought to myself at the time, hey if it even goes back to 150, I make a nice 45% profit almost. Now, I'm more than 45% in loss. I have no idea when these alts will ever recover. I think a lot of us people are completely regretting giving up our Bitcoins for alts. Sure, we did not lose much fiat value because BTC is just upping, but we lose profits, and we will lose Bitcoin Gold.
8683  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: STRATIS Pumping again...be careful on: October 19, 2017, 07:14:03 PM
I doubt there are only 1-2 developers behind Stratis. It has become too big to rely on just two people, let one one person. Development is not just about programming, it is about marketing, it is about administration, it is about communication. One person on a project is achieveable when it is a hobby, but Stratis looks like a full time project that requires dedicated attention. The price movement alone tells you that.

Pumping though I agree should raise some caution among everyone!
8684  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ICO regulation good or bad? on: October 19, 2017, 12:08:44 PM
I think even though the majority of us think of complete decentralization as a dream come true, 99% of us are not prepared for it, what more to say of the 99% of those who do not know about cryptocurrencies? Until we can equip everyone with the same awareness and basic knowledge, that is, education, we will see a lot of people exploit the majority with scams and deceit.

So for this protection, I believe regulation is good. But eventually, it must become democratic.
8685  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptaur -- Scam or Legit? on: October 19, 2017, 08:58:49 AM
Hi there,

Compared to most ICO systems out there this particular one is also backed by an already established company (the business itself is within natural health products market, you can look for Vision International People Group).
As you may have noticed not many people heard about Cryptaur because at the moment is not pushing marketing at all, instead they had a deal with VIPG for their distributors network to push it (about 70k people as far as I know).  It was also introduced by the president of the company, Dmtri Buriak (there are several youtube videos with this). I joined through VIPG, they have a link on our internal platform ( I would say CPT is doing very well if they managed to convince them to put this on the platform).

At described on their website they have a token sale from 1st November till 30th November, just to highlight that after the 2nd November the bonus for token will got own to 33% and  will keep going down till the end of the month. It is not mentioned on their website but at the moment still if you register you get 40% bonus on token sale and also 10% bounty on any person you bring. The minimum you can put in is 50$ worth of either Ethereum or Bitcoin.

Their transactions are pretty smooth, but vary as time length. I had transfers that went in under an hour in total and some that took a few more.
Whenever I contacted their support got a reply pretty quick and all questions answered.

Feel free to try it out and if you have anymore questions I would be happy to help if I can.

Website: https://cryptaur.com/

All the best!

Where are your sources for the figures such as the size of distributor network? Do not get me wrong but this seems like a MLM setup that just decided to branch into an ICO. This Vision group looks like the typical MLM product selling network and even Cryptaur has referral systems that remind me of things like Amway in America.

Referral in crypto is a bad idea, just so you know.
8686  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Coins are CRASHING!!! Is it the next crash? BTC Down to $5300 as I type this! on: October 19, 2017, 07:01:11 AM
Crash? When Bitcoin loses half its value in a week, then we can call it a crash. The altcoins definitely crashed this month, with many losing more than 50% value. I know this because even though I had more than 10 alt coins in my portfolio, they lost almost 60% in total. Okay they have recovered now but I am still over 35% in red against BTC value, but that is because BTC lost about 10%. I am waiting for them to rise again but it looks like I have to wait for next year!
8687  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Strong Hand Coin (SHND) on: October 18, 2017, 07:59:47 AM
You ought to exercise a lot more caution when delving into these "down the line" altcoins. A lot of them were only created by basic programmers copying or altering slightly existing blockchain codes from other coins. There is nothing wrong with that, of course, but this means that when those coins ran into problems, the developers could not fix it and eventually the coins just die out from lack of improvements and usage.

There are so many factors that decide an alts future but to my experience, nothing beats a community that actually uses it for value. When people start accepting an alt as payment, and then trade with it for services and products, you can be sure it has a future.
8688  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I lost 80% of my bitcoins in alts, What can I do now?! on: October 18, 2017, 06:40:46 AM
Gosh, what a coincidence, these were the exact same 3 coins I bought in one time. I bought other alts also on different days, always in pairs. This all happened in the past three or four weeks, and all looked like such great buys because they were so low. And everywhere there were posts of "buy the dips", so I bought those dips. Well, we all know what happened next. I am in 50% losses for many of them, overall. I cannot do anything but hold now. Or sell some and hope to get back a bit of fork coin profit? I am at a loss!
8689  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Gulden a good investment? on: October 18, 2017, 04:58:28 AM
You capslock dicks should understand the number 1 rule of currency. acceptance
doesn't matter if it does not work as well, or copies. As long as people accept it over others, that's the only thing that counts not logic

I have to be on this side too. Number 1 is acceptance. Number 2 is how good it works. And Number 2 can eventually affect Number 1 if people have to choose between good coin or better coin. But acceptance is so powerful that even if there is a competitor that is better, it has to be so much better to change acceptance of the old.

Copy or original is not important at all. I happily use a copy of anything if it works well or works even better. I will do the same for any alt.
8690  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I lost my eth during the fork and some of my erc20 token ! WTF on: October 17, 2017, 10:49:16 AM
Anyone experienced this? I lost half of my eth during the fork, I'm using myetherwallet. What F did happen?

Impossible unless you tried to transact during the fork. Check your wallet on a block explorer and it should be there. There is no way for it to just disappear without having done anything. If you can, show us the address, and we can help troubleshoot, otherwise, this is just a rant without any evidence. Next time you want to complain, do it properly so you can get the desired assistance. Do not understand why people just open threads to complain like this.
8691  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Gulden a good investment? on: October 17, 2017, 09:11:46 AM
What's Gulden's unique selling point though? Is there anything BTC or one of the other major currencies can't do?
a few things come to mind.
check this out for a quick comparison: https://dev.gulden.com/
besides that.. Gulden is on a EUR - NLG exchange (nocks)
companies are accepting Gulden in Holland. Those may have not supported Bitcoin or any other crypto at first.
you can use Gulden to purchase at places that accept Bitcoin. Gulden will then automatically be exchanged to BTC. obviously that's not an advantage over BTC but it does bring an advantage over most other altcoins.
In fact most altcoins are quite useless compared to Gulden.

Gulden initially seemed like one of those strange "national" cryptos that just sprouted up over the years and were trading for volatile values before just dying out. But if you start to look like I did, it does seem to stand out exactly for that reason above: merchants and companies accepting them as payment. On this alone, adoption, is Gulden special from other national cryptos.

I still do not know much or enough to buy Gulden (since I am not in Holland anyway). And I think you have to understand the other Gulden competitor, which I do not at all!
8692  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Did MAGOS evaporate? on: October 17, 2017, 07:29:45 AM
Never heard of it til here. If it is true that they rebranded, they should have kept all the old social media and website links, and just asked users to redirect. Otherwise you may have returning people see the dead links and come to their own conclusions. Can anyone here share details about the scam? Did they raise much? How did the scam happen? Why the rebrand, was this because of the scam?

Would be good to share so we all learn from this.
8693  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Russia Will Issue National Cryptocurrency 'CryptoRuble': Report on: October 17, 2017, 06:21:01 AM
Nothing to say about what the fuck in the putin's mind. Because putin already banned the crypto currency and this time the rusia try to issue its currency and that seems to be another bullish in the future. I curious how it works.

It is not a "big news". The Russian central bank has been talking about a national cryptocurrency for a very long time this year, mainly because they are not very keen on Bitcoin ruling Russia.

By the way, Putin did not ban crypto. Read the latest news and especially from his media query last week. He said specifically that there is a need to regulate and control, absolutely not ban. Putin is not an idiot. Far, far, from being an idiot.
8694  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin to be Taxed...... on: October 17, 2017, 05:46:07 AM
This is interesting could be a mass following with this. South Korea is preparing to Tax bitcoin use after the cryptocurrency's trading volume sky-rocked. This could spark a new trend s everyone battels to see how to control the life of cryptocurrency's

Sounds like good news to me, to be honest. My government is still not very clear on Bitcoin, so there is no tax on it. But if a government like South Korea taxes Bitcoin, this means they recognize it and therefore it is legal and proper currency. Is that not a good thing? As a responsible citizen, you should always pay income tax anyway. South Korea let people have Internet and knowledge and services to use Bitcoin. You owe it tax to help keep things running well.
8695  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO]🇨 Crypterium - Digital Cryptobank with Credit Token & Open Platform🇨 on: October 16, 2017, 01:59:16 PM

Do you guys know that there are many people here don't agree with even the idea of cryptobank? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1652815.2320


There is a big difference in centralizing the system, which is what banks do by exercising control. They decide so many things, how you keep your money, how money is created and what and how you use your money. Crypterium takes away a lot of that control by putting it in the hands of the user. At the same time, it makes it easier for the normal user to use and store and exchange crypto. Can you imagine how a user that barely knows how to use some wallets cannot go into crypto because they just do not have something simple to use?
8696  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dogecoin. 2017 will be $ 1 in December. on: October 16, 2017, 12:20:25 PM
are serius about this,, $1/ doge,
i have so many doge in my wallet.. plz dont make a joke
$1 is not possible completely unrealistic - 100 sat is more of a goal for me - it briefly could hit 500 sat with MAJOR hype, but I would have sold out long before then

I have some good feelings about Dogecoin. I never ever buy them of course. I just collect from faucets and giveaways. Actually am so surprised sometimes to see that i have >25,000 DOGE just from doing nothing and taking them when they are there. that is now $25 worth of crypto. I still can a few hundred every month if not closer to a thousand. So if it takes 10 years for DOGE to become even 1 cent, I will be quite rich.
8697  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: a coin without mining? on: October 16, 2017, 09:58:46 AM
YES!  Get some CRAVE or other masternode coins listed on https://masternodes.pro/ (the site is being revamped, maybe bookmark it and check back on occasion, always something new going on) - there's amazing opportunities to get some REALLY CHEAP passive income streams right now!  

You'll dig it, these coins are great and not many people seem to have cottoned onto them yet..  There's articles around about it eg: https://www.investitin.com/masternode/

I have been watching this Masternode application ever since I witnessed it being launched on altcoins around May this year. Now there just so many alts proposing to use Masternodes as a good way of returning interest but I cannot be certain it is a good long term model. Also, since DASH had its security compromised even with masternodes, it does beg the question if the security really is as good as they say, or is this just another way to spin more money from holding?
8698  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Waves on: October 16, 2017, 08:53:35 AM
Personally I like WAVES because it has a nice multicurrency wallet, token portfolio and decentralized exchange all in one light application. And from what I understand there will be an even better application going to be launched. It is easy to use for a normal user like me and very fast. This is what apps need to become to get major adoption. But yes, at the moment it is still better to buy Waves itself with Bitcoin on one of the many exchanges you will find out there.
8699  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Litecoin on: October 16, 2017, 07:25:19 AM
Litecoin will never be 100 bucks. If it were, it would have been much earlier. Right now Litecoin is not popular and I do not think it will be appreciated.

Litecoin (LTC)
$64.30 (-0.70%)
0.01162940 BTC (3.57%)

Market Cap
$3,432,525,618
620,857 BTC

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin/

While no one really knows whether you're right or wrong regarding future price of LTC (I do disagree, though), I don't understand your reasoning.

For quite some time now, LTC value behaves in a way that it rises to a certain level, correts a little bit and stays at that level for a little while, before rising again (typical long-term uptrend). In other words, your statement makes no sense as it is, judging by the movement of LTC value up to this moment. And as the whole market expands, I can't see the reason why it wouldn't rise to 100$ very soon, regardless of not quite getting to this value until now.

Could you elaborate a little bit, if you care to do it of course? It's not just that I disagree, I'm genuinely interested in hearing (or reading) as many well-explained different thoughts as possible.
Thank you.

His only reasoning is that Litecoin is not popular. He is correct but only looking at some major points in that perhaps it is not AS popular as Bitcoin and Ethereum. But look at Litecoin as a cryptocurrency first - one of the oldest around. Many sites that accept more than one crypto will accept Litecoin. You want to compare it to say Monero? How many ICOs accept LTC and not XMR?

I may not believe LTC will reach $100 this year but if Bitcoin reaches $10000 next year, then $100 is very natural, if not much more.

And yes LTC behaviour is like this. Rise high then settle down. The old settle was at $50, not it seems to be $60.
8700  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ICO] Pally - Decentralised Social Travel on: October 15, 2017, 04:30:09 PM
Hi there,

Thanks for your question.

A) We have not just one live product, but two. Pally Social: Private alpha from November till March, public beta in the app store from April. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pally-the-app-for-friendly-internationals/id1206993633?mt=8 Pally Adventures: is in private beta in London currently: https://pwareact.firebaseapp.com/

The overall community size is 25k people

B) We've existed for 18+ months, have been through bootstrapping, friends and family round, seed round in the private market and the amount we're trying to raise in our ongoing ICO is the equivalent to what we would be aiming for in a series A in the private market which is what the next round of funding if it weren't for the crowdsale.

C) Our HARD cap is $4.55M. Our soft cap is 15% of that amount.

D) We are proud of our advisory board and delighted to have such rigorous experience across several big industries contributing to the company

Please let us know if you have any further questions of course Smiley

Thank you for the detailed response! I appreciate it!

I am still not very clear on B), but perhaps this is just simpler asked: what is the 4.5m budget for? Do you have a simple budget prepared (not the funds allocation, but a line budget with expense listings) so I could look at it and decide if it was realistic? Congratulations for having a famous team behind you and 18+ months of experience, I had hoped they would have brought something like that to the table but could not find anything like it in the whitepaper and position paper. HSBC and JP Morgan know this is one of many basics for investor interest. Thank you!
