8761  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AEON [2017-10-07: update to 0.9.14.0] on: December 21, 2017, 12:57:57 AM
hi,

aeond.exe  - fails to synchronize blockchain at  height ~ 903600.      was there a hardfork?

No, there was no hard fork recently.

Please try the following and see if it solves the issue:
  • stop aeond.exe by typing "exit"
  • delete C:\ProgramData\aeon\p2pstate.bin
  • start aeond.exe again

Also, if you encounter a problem, please provide a bit more lines of logs.


Another solution is to go find a faster internet connection. I reckon something like it happened to my node while it was syncing, like it was stuck. So I had to go out of the house, and to my brother's place with my whole set up in the middle of the night hehehe.

He thought I was crazy.

Maybe Mercedes should make a proposal to have Pascal Wehrlein get that 2nd Williams seat. Pascal's potential is wasted if he cannot race in Formula 1 consistently.

If you put him in an adequately fast car, I reckon he will give Max Verstappen the race for his life in every circuit.
8763  Economy / Speculation / Is Bitcoin in a Bubble, or Is It Massively Undervalued? on: December 20, 2017, 03:16:32 AM
I speculate that there are some anti-bitcoin groups behind every bitcoin is a bubble news released. They are trying to disseminate fear and confusion among the crowd, and at the same time, they are charging up to short bitcoin to profit from the crash, while again getting ready to buy the bottom.

Wall Street plays the same game as the whales of bitcoin, but by a magnitude greater.



Bitcoin is all the rage again, and its major sustained price increase in recent weeks has prompted considerable interest and novice investment in the world's first cryptocurrency. Some people see this as a sign that bitcoin's end is near, but others argue that the infant e-money is actually massively undervalued in the long run.

As is common with any price peak and flurry of media chattering, bitcoin's most recent momentum has been met with predictions of boom and doom. A Wall Street Journal survey of economists found that an astounding 96 percent believe that bitcoin is experiencing a speculative bubble. The question for them is not whether the bubble will burst, but how badly, and how soon (if ever) it will recover.

It is true that the market shows signs of frothiness. Seasoned bitcoin users have found themselves inundated with questions from friends and relatives about how to cash in on this hot get-rich-quick scheme. When I talked to radio host John Batchelor about the bitcoin price increase last week, he told me he was reminded of the famous 1929 tale wherein famed investor Joe Kennedy quickly exited the stock market after his shoe shine boy deigned to give him investment advice. Contemporary anecdotes about people taking out mortgages to buy bitcoin fall into a similar vein.

@Durins Bane. The lottery mentioned to be sure to account for the 0.01 transaction fee. We know some Aeon holders might be intimidated in using the command line. So maybe it is a good idea to post the exact command or instructions to type in the command line.

Also, I see there are Aeon haters in the thread. There must be something about this coin that threatens them hehehe.

8765  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: December 20, 2017, 01:27:13 AM
Maybe a little bit off-topic...
What's the deal with KRB and BBR or the rest of cryptonight coins?
Any of them with good community, deserving to be bought?

No, if you want another good cryptonight coin then choose the best, maintained by the best altcoin development team. Monero. I am not saying that because I am an Aeon holder, I am saying that because it is true. But I know many will disagree with me because of different reasons.

In any case, most in the cryptospace have a lot to learn if you see cryptocoins like IOTA or EOS in the top 10 on Coinmarketcap.

@uslfd. I know, but if a person's opinion is wrong and that is unabashedly spreading the wrong information, then the writer of the said article deserves to be called out, and I reckon, he should be reprimanded.

Did you really read the article?
8767  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I think Cardano is highly undervalued right now on: December 19, 2017, 06:54:29 AM
3 simple concepts that this 3rd gen crypto aims to solve.

Scalability. This means being able to scale the blockchain which means processing more transactions without violating anything that disrupts the security or inefficiency of the chain. Bitcoin and Ethereum cannot do that right now. There is too much demand in the world for those right now. They want to ensure they stay scalability, working towards that around the clock.

Interoperability. This means being able to interact and communicate with other blockchains. This could be done from a few different technologies such as side chains and atomic swaps. They want communication with different cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies should be able to talk to each other and transact which is what they are trying to solve.

Sustainability. This means to implement a system of governance. Cardano wants to work towards building a governance system to engage the community and allow us to dictate policies and changes for the project.

Some Pros of Cardano. I have many more in the actual analysis

- Cardano takes their concepts and ideas and puts them through peer review. You can see their academic papers on their website. These academic papers are peer-reviewed at university level by people who are experts in this field. This shows Cardano is highly mature and much more respectable in the crypto field.

- The development team consists of a large global collective of expert engineers and researchers. They have a very well-formed team with solid core principles with a long list of developers and engineers working on this project. There are very accredited individuals who work within the blockchain space.

- Cardano has not been trying to market themselves. They didn't create any ads such as 95% of the ICOs on the market right now.

Full analysis: https://cryptocolumn.com/cardano-analysis/

Is the Cardano platform fully functional? I reckon it is 1 of 2 platforms in the top 10 on Coinmarketcap that is not fully functional right now. Iota is the other one.

Therefore both are overvalued not undervalued.
8768  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / CEO of cryptocurrency play up 1,000% in 2 days to $3.1 billion on: December 19, 2017, 05:29:20 AM
I predict that this will be a new craze for 2018. Small companies will start buying unprofitable blockchain companies to pump their own stock prices. This is a good example of Wall Street scammers working together with ICO and blockchain scammers. The worst of both worlds hehehe.

In any case, has anyone heard of Ziddu? Their site, http://www.ziddu.com/, mentions that Ziddu Warehouse Coin is powered by Ethereum ERC20 token standard, but it is not listed in Coinmarketcap or any altcoin exchange.

Did they create this website and ERC20 token to make it appear it is a real blockchain company?



Shares of little-known financial technology company Longfin surged 1,342 percent in two days to a market value of $3.1 billion after buying a cryptocurrency company with no revenue.

To many, it was a textbook case of the mania surrounding digital currencies these days. Amazingly, the CEO doesn't disagree.

The gains followed Friday's news the company was buying Ziddu.com, which says it's a microlending company using the same blockchain technology as bitcoin. Ziddu's unsecured website shows the company has a digital coin trading at 19 cents.

Longfin agreed to buy Ziddu from a private Singapore company called Meridian Enterprises in exchange for 2.5 million shares of the company. Adding confusion and volatility for investors, the filing for the deal showed Meridian is 95-percent-owned by Longfin CEO Meenavalli.

Visit him on Twitter.

If you talk to a bitcoin enthusiast long enough, it's only a matter of time until they proclaim that it's not even possible for it to be a bubble since it's a currency.

This wouldn't be true even if it were one, but it's not. It's stock in a much, much worse version of PayPal.

@boomboombazook. This is a funny thing I have observed in the cryptospace. It takes for someone to become a bagholder to also become a cyptocoin's most ardent supporter. I speculate a good amount of those new subscribers are the people who bought on 50k - 85k satoshis.

@phishead. Was that americanpegasus in there? I was nice of smooth to hold the sign hehehe.

I reckon this will be another reason for making the market pump it gain? I am not too entirely happy about it because most of my cryptoholdings are composed of Aeon and a small amount of bitcoin hehe.

I wish bitcoin stabilizes on where it is now, giving room for some altcoins to obtain more value.
8772  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: December 18, 2017, 04:15:42 AM
No, 11k - 12k will happen only if more holders dump, which is not a possibility for now. Also, the Aeon community is still hopeful, and in general, happy except for a few people like sammy007. I reckon he may have already dumped some of his coins on Bittrex.
8773  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / What is Super Bitcoin? Another scam? on: December 18, 2017, 03:26:45 AM
This article must be written by a supporter of bitcoin cash and Roger Ver. I do not know what he means by bitcoin cash has been a major success. A major success? How?

It should be judged a major success if it surpasses bitcoin's average daily usage. Most of the bitcoin cash blocks do not even reach 1MB. But if success is measured only in market capitalization, then I would reckon the whole market is stupid.



As a result, we’ve seen a growing number of Bitcoin hard forks, all of which try to bring more value to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Bitcoin Cash has been a major success so far, and Bitcoin Gold isn’t doing too badly either. Whether or not Super Bitcoin can achieve similar results remains to be determined. However, with support from exchanges right off the bat, this altcoin will see some initial success over the next few days.

@eaLiTy. Tyron Woodley versus GSP will not happen. Tyron's original plan was to move up to middleweight and challenge GSP there, but if you have not heard, GSP has vacated the belt and the middleweight division. His plans for the future are also still unknown.
8775  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will be the next cryptcoin listed on the CME? on: December 18, 2017, 01:47:35 AM
litecoin

eth too fragile atm

Too fragile is not the right phrase. Maybe Ethereum's development team cannot bring the promises they made to their supporters. They have made scaling promises from switching to POS, sharding and Raiden. Where are they?

I speculate none of them will be working when released to the public.

@americanpegasus. Thank you for that post. In these hard and tough times, we need someone like you to wake up the community and direct the way in these times of murkiness.

I admit that I am feeling a little discouraged with Aeon and smooth. Sorry, but I was assuming that the code rebase was coming this year.
8777  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: December 17, 2017, 03:50:33 AM
@overboost. I am sorry to say this but it might move down further to 15k satoshis. I will never recommend anyone to buy now if they do not want their bitcoin to lose value.

As a cryptocoin, Aeon's future is still murky. I hope smooth finishes the code rebase and presents the new roadmap soon.

I agree with bbc.reporter on this one. I think its a good time to double your stack if you believe in the project but you might get a little burned in terms of BTC if you aren't careful. Whatever happens, this should be treated as a very high risk investment since a lot can and perhaps might even not happen.

@bbc.reporter, I'm always looking forward to those channels and advice.

No. I reckon it is time to play it safe. Hold the Aeons you have now but I would not suggest to double your stack. The reason is simple, because bitcoin is having one of its best performance in the market.

Aeon meanwhile is losing versus bitcoin, with 15k satoshis on the boundary, maybe lower.
8778  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will be the next cryptcoin listed on the CME? on: December 17, 2017, 02:54:23 AM
@DaveWave. You might be correct. But you should add Ripple to the cryptocoins you mentioned. Bloomberg has added Litecoin, Ethereum and XRP in their terminal service 2 days ago. Is that a sign?

Also, I am afraid that might be bad for some of the smaller cryptocoin projects that need more exposure. Real projects like Aeon will be ignored in favor of big, well funded, smart contract platforms and ICOs on 2018 once they are added on Bloomberg's terminals.



Financial data firm Bloomberg has added three new cryptocurrencies – ethereum (ether), Ripple (XRP) and litecoin – alongside bitcoin on its Terminal service.

According to a Fortune report, sources said the addition of the new price data is aimed at forex traders seeking to explore the new instruments.

They also suggested that Bloomberg terminal data for the new cryptocurrencies is being provided by Luxembourg-based exchange Bitstamp.

Back in April 2014, Bloomberg opened up bitcoin prices to its Bloomberg Professional service, and in June of that year it was revealed that the data was being sourced from the itBit exchange.

The move comes amid sharp rises in the prices of many alternative cryptocurrencies, or altcoins, along with the spike in bitcoin prices. Just yesterday, Ripple's XRP token surged to a new record close to 90 cents, while ether and litecoin have also both hit new highs in the past week.

Bloomberg Terminal provides subscribers with real-time financial data, and allows them to place trades over an electronic trading platform. The system also features news and messaging options.

8779  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Goodbye Ethereum: Kik Plans to Move Its ICO Tokens to Stellar on: December 17, 2017, 01:48:18 AM
Ethereum could easily lose the popularity due to the scale problem. Cryptokitties just naked this problem once again. There are many another smart contract platforms and ETH is really in danger now.

I remember Ethereum was predicted, or was it hype and marketing, to be a world computer where decentralized applications and smart contracts can run, and that they would be unstoppable and uncensorable.

Do you still reckon it to be that? I remember you were an Ethereum supporter 2 years ago. What happened?
8780  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Goodbye Ethereum: Kik Plans to Move Its ICO Tokens to Stellar on: December 15, 2017, 04:15:35 AM
CrptoKitties has made it more expensive to transact in ETH, it will be interesting to see if they are able to overcome this bottleneck with their plans to migrate from PoW to Pos.

If the best development team in the cryptospace, which is working on bitcoin, has not found a real effective way to scale then I do not see how a development team of lower capability can scale Ethereum.

In any case, the Ethereum development team will keep telling their followers that something big is coming, the same way ICO developers do.
