It will never die... if you study the altcoins that have had a decent amount of marketcap for a long time, they never die. They fade into irrelevancy, but for me total death means no hashrate, which would lead to a collapse of the network, and therefore collapse of the price (actually would be the opposite, first comes the collapse in price, then collapse in hashrate, then that's a downstairs spiral into actual death.
As a long as a coin has some hashrate, some market activity, and some development, that's a coin that's alive, and LTC will remain alive.

When investing, I’m a big fan of diversification of portfolios. I believe that both Ethereum and Bitcoin offer value, albeit in different ways.
Even though Ethereum is positioning itself to become a large platform, the fact that Bitcoin is so well known makes it the first place where people invest.
It's a big mistake to trade your Bitcoin for Ethereum right now. Bitcoin is going to get segwit, and then lightning network, and then sidechains, and Blockstream just got Satellites out there to broadcast the Bitcoin Blockchain... so much exciting stuff happening in Bitcoin right now. I think everyone should have their main amount of crypto portfolio in BTC, specially right now, it's key to have as much BTC as possible. Ethereum still has to overcome huge problems which im not sure they will be able to, meanwhile Bitcoin is sailing smooth, the only problem it has is the segwit2x morons being annoying again with the blocksize increase scam in November but we will get around that. |

Whats you opinion?
Will the LTC price rise if the lightning network is active?
What other chances has LTC to increase attention?
LTC's big pump was all about segwit. Litecoin managed to get segwit before Bitcoin due the fact that a lot of miners were delaying it as much as possible. They also made a lot of money in LTC by playing around with their hashrate power during the signaling process... it was really a circus. Now that segwit is around the corner for BTC, im finding it difficult to defend a long position on LTC, it has nothing to offer for now, so stick to Bitcoin only. |

Not only did they never pay me my 0.6 btc from the old revenue share (sign up lost 6 btc and lowest tier was 10% so might have been 1.2 btc but I called it .6), but after spending months marketing for betcoin.ag, I was making $800-$1000 in coin a month. Most of this revenue cake from 2 or 3 high rollers I brought over. Well betcoin banned my whales then let them make new accounts so they didn't have to pay revenue.
Now recently my friend who gambles a ton (seen him bet 100k USD in coin in 1 month) was accused of being me and banned by betcoin. Now he was ofc allowed to make a new account but they said any mention of the old account and he can't play there.
I gamble a couple bitmills at most and have a FL IP address, how does a man from Tennessee who bets a coin in 1 click resemble me? They know I am computer savvy as well so I'm sure they must know if I wanted to refer myself I'd use different up addresses?
I spent months building up my referrals, only for them to ban my whale accounts, but let the same IP make a new account not tagged to any affiliate.
Any online casino should have pretty good security at least as far as being able to IP ban someone. I will settle for the 0.6 btc even though I'm owed a ton more.
If you were scammed, are owed, or were jerked around by betcoin.ag please post here. I only ever trusted them to begin with as they're site pro is an old friend of mine plo8monster. He's always been legit from what I know, but he better be careful as this site is going to drag his name through the mud.
Damn, how did you reach $800-$1000 a month worth of affiliates? that's a lot of money. In my case, I have been promoting this site on my signature space for, I think, more than a year now. I never had any problems, they solved some issues when I had them, they have paid every month, only one month they were really late on the payment but they paid. As far as IP goes, they banned a lot of proxies, but they seem to be proxy friendly again. I use proxies to be able to connect when the computer is firewalled (ie at work etc) so it's good that they don't ban them. I don't know what to tell you about your case, try to contact everyone, I guess this post will help you to make this thread visible. |

ok, i am also aninvestor with little bit of all three coins. eth neo strat
what i hear about neo are the partnerships being formed with alibaba and smart contracts in china as the first mover is very bullish. I don't think 50 is the top. This can go to atleast 1/2 market cap of ethereum.
Stratis has the most room to grow here if even 1/8 the market cap of ethereum. so I believe in all 3 coins.
ethereum has room to grow also.
Well a NEO-Alibaba partnertship could be huge. China always creates their own version of everything, it seems they hate to not have their own thing going. They have their own Twitter, their own Facebook, their own Amazon... who knows, maybe NEO will skyrocket. I hate buying into coins that already pumped hard tho... you get rich when you buy the coin while it's flat. But my question is... why NEO and not Asch? And what does Stratis offer that NEO can't do now? |

The alts showed some greens lately in the past few hours on this bitcoin correction, but notice how the top 15 coins didn't perform well during the dip, they all have negative % rounding around 5%, wereas sub top15 marketcap coins have shown %5+ gains... interesting. Looks like this time the big marketcap alts weren't the place to be to profit from the bitcoin correction. Sometimes it's good to be holding some of the more rare coins and hope for the best. Who knows if you catch the next NEO..

I want to try gambling some of my BTC, but I don't know where to gamble it. What sites are legit and have a varieties of gambling options I can mess around with?
I like bitcoinvideocasino . com which is where I made most of my gains gambling when I almost won the jackpot, I didn't but I managed to get some spectacular gains in some combinations in the slot machine. I think they got the best slot machine with the most interesting combinations, the rest of the slot machines just don't cut it. For poker, betcoin.ag is definitely the best I have ever seen. They give you bonuses and sometimes you can get lucky and get free rolls, so I would try these 2. |

So we have to wait another 2-3months before Alts markets come alive again correct?
And shall I assume bitcoin will continue to $5000 until november hits?
It's a good guess. There's nothing that can stop bitcoin anytime soon until the segwit2x morons start talking about hardfork again, ruining the price. But consider that during bitcoin crashes, all alts seem to crash too...it's difficult to guess how alts will react. I don't think it's as easy as saying "BTC bullrun = alts bear" and "BTC bearrun = alts bull". From my experience, the best time to buy is during the dip of whatever you want to buy, just pay attention to what you have on mind. |

Zcash is not totally private if we are comparing it with monero. The transactions can be listed on trackers and this actually causes a problem for privacy. Monero is more anonymus in the transactions, nobody can see yours.
As far as I know... Zcash does provide higher levels of privacy, but it suffers from the trust issues described above, where you must trust that the developers deleted the masterkey that gives access to the total coin supply and basically could make them gods in the system. I can never trust such a system. And in practice it seems Monero is better, but all of them got their own problems. |

I am by no stretch of the imagination a cryptography genius. I have however been following and speculating on the crypto currency market since Bitcoin was worth a couple of dollars.
Can someone please explain to me why people still think Zcash is a good thing? Please dispute the following facts, because from my layman understanding of the situation its worthless:
"The ceremony used a multi-party computation protocol with the property that the resulting parameters are secure unless all of the participants were dishonest or compromised during the ceremony."
Anything that relies on trust is fundamentally flawed.
"And by the way, I think we can successfully make Zcash too traceable for criminals like WannaCry, but still completely private & fungible." - Zooko Wilcox, ZCash founder.
The founder talking about making Zcash traceable in certain instances, rendering the whole concept fundamentally flawed.
Alphabay goes down the same moment they were supposedly implementing Zcash. Whether you believe in coincidences or not, its certainly is very suspicious.
ZCash is run by an American company with American investors. Conceptually, to me, this is a fundamentally flawed approach to privacy focused digital currency.
That is the double edged sword of Zcash. In theory, its transactions are truly anonymous and fungible, above everything else including Monero. But the downside is, you are operating under the assumption that the "ceremony" was done the right way. The entire system could be compromised for all we know, and there's no way to ever know that because of the anonymity of it, which is why I never invested (and also due the disastrous coin release which caused a massive initial bubble) |

The idea, in short, would be that Bitcoin and Litecoin are the only two coins with Segwit implemented. This, solves the transaction malleability problem and allows them to implement Lightning Network, wich will create an over blockchain layer that can abstract each coin specs, making possible transactions between BTC and LTC without needing to convert the coins. Bottomline: this could bring big value to Litecoin, if implemented. Here is Charlie Lee perspective on this, from January 6th: https://segwit.org/my-vision-for-segwit-and-lightning-networks-on-litecoin-and-bitcoin-cf95a7ab656bThere are a lot of other coins that have segwit enabled, but few people know about them, such as Vertcoin. I think even NAUT got segwit. These coins don't have mining drama because they are small projects so they were able to easily get it activated unlike the bigger coins. Litecoin was interesting when Bitcoin didn't have segwit, now that Bitcoin has segwit, it's no longer as interesting. The article was about atomic cross chain transactions, so Bitcoin could scale thanks to Litecoin with LN. Now, im no longer sure if Litecoin plays a major role, maybe once the next controversial update arrives, Litecoin will pump again. |

NEO's rise has been spectacular. Another opportunity to get rich in crypto if you were involved when it was worth cents... did anyone get rich from this one? And why did people invest on this thing anyway? It's being sold as "the chinese Ethereum", but I already heard that about this one: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/asch/STRAT is the cheaper of the 3. Can anyone explain why NEO is any better than STRAT? STRAT seems more attractive because it hasn't had such a big pop yet. Im just wondering what's the catch with NEO other than a chinese pump and dump? |

Following the SEC's Investigative Report the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex announced that it will ban certain tokens for U.S. investors, in particular EOS and SAN will no longer be available for U.S. investors as of August 16, 2017 (see CoinDesk article). I am confinced that other exchanges will have to follow Bitfinex into this road. To me it's not an option but they need to do this to avoid legal issues and some visits from nice guys from U.S. law enforcement agencies. The question then is, what the results will be for the cryptocurrency trading market in general. With those bans the liquidity of the market will suffer signficantly which in turn may result in weaker demand for certain tokens. This could bring speculation to an end for those tokens and, consequently, the hurt ICOs, right? Let me know your take on that, thx! Bitfinex is slowly caving its own grave step by step. With the BFX tokens thing during the so called "hack", the verification needed for simple crypto trading, and then the stupid banning of coins selectively for US citizens... Anyone that wants to bypass this limitation only needs to get an VPN from the US and start trading. |

The Brazil returns first in the ranking despite Germany having won the last World Cup and the last Confederation's Cup played!
Brazil has the best footballers in the world, not surprised to see them at the top as always. Argentina is great too, Maradona is a legend. France and Spain should be higher, Italy and Endland as well. Chile got some amazing agressive games that always puts their opponents in thought situations. Where the hell is Holland on that top20 tho? |

What are electricity rates like in Russia?
I know China has some of the cheapest electricity in the world, which is why they are such a leader in Bitcoin mining today.
It's apparently much cheaper than china, even at consumer level It must depend where you live. In Moscow living expenses are so high compared to the rest of Russia. Also, from what I've heard, the government pays their citizens electricity, water etc. If it is really cheaper for big corporations to start big mining farms, and with Putin on board, I can see Russia becoming an mining mogul in the next couple of years, surpassing China even. |

Hello,
If i have 16 words (in order) of a 24 words passphrase for a btc address,
And I also have the dictionary (10k words)from where the words jave been taken.
How hard would it be for me to find the 8 missing words via bruteforce?
Trying to bruteforce 8 missing letters from a password is insanely hard even with supercomputers. Im not sure how accurate this website is, but: http://calc.opensecurityresearch.com/according to it, setting the following settings: Password Length: 8 Keys per second: Raw SHA-256 - (2600K k/s) Charset [len:77]: lalhpa-numeric-all-space To brute force the entire keyspace it will take about 15 years 94 days 17 hours 3 minutes 45 seconds (1251995979594360 password combinations) But here's the thing, a 16 character lenght password: To brute force the entire keyspace it will take about 19 quadrillion years More specifically 18856483101931430 years 109 days 9 hours 25 minutes and 38 seconds (1.547136868856542e+30 password combinations) So 16 alphanumeric passwords should be safe for life. |

10) REDDING Ducati 1'24.765 0.719
Valentino Rossi is out of 10!
Ducati confirms to be very strong on this track!
Marc Marquez is too low there, but I suspect that he will pass everyone in the track. When he doesn't qualify with a top3 he always manages to pass a ton of people like Valentino Rossi. I think Marc Marquez will become the next Angel Nieto. He still very young, and he can reach 13 world champions if he keeps trying. He already has 5 and he is only 24. Maybe he can even surpass Ago, but he would need to win 11 more titles. |

I feel like Neymar was overrated and never performed what I was expecting from him (Ronaldo-Rivaldo-Ronaldinho type of performance) but having said that... that was an extremely lucrative deal in terms of merchandinsing. Neymar is a very marketable guy, dont get me wrong he is a great footballer, but he has swag, he is big on social media, he is a start.
None of the new signups will be anywhere near close to Neymar in merchandise and ad revenue.

Now they just need to learn how 99.99% of altcoins are shitcoins.
I think we can say only 90% of altcoins are shitcoins because some of the cryptos like ethereum, waves, lisk are offering something which bitcoin can't offer and they also have real life use cases. Thats why they are also pumping hard just like bitcoin and I think investing in multiple alts like these ones is better than investing in just one alt or bitcoin.  Not anymore. With sidechains, Bitcoin can do everything that most altcoins can do, including Ethereum. With Rootstock you can do everything that Ethereum deliver, smart contracts, ICOs, tokens etc, as far as I know. Also Ethereum is a scam as far as im concerned, the way the coins were distributed is so dodgy. Developers control most of the supply. That should raise alarms already about scammy products. |

Thanks for the tutorial. My question is: Does Bittrex generate a new deposit address once you send the coins? Because I want to keep my privacy by sending BTC separately in different batches, and for that I need the exchange to generate new receiving addresses each time.
This is I haven't done this yet, it will take a lot of time for me to send all the coins separately, and I haven't even found an exchange that doesn't keep giving me the same deposit address each time yet.
No way im sending all of my bitcoin in a single address.
Bittrex has one fixed deposit address for your account. Thanks, in that case I will not even bother with Bittrex. I will need to find any other exchange that allows you to maintain privacy. Not that I was going to bother anyway. Bittrex has now limited new accounts to 0.025 BTC withdraws unless you send them all kinds of personal information which is nonsense. I want to trade crypto to another crypto, why they need to know my real name, address, place of birth etc.. it's ridiculous. I don't trust a crypto exchange with my personal info at all. |
