I like it but the community is still very low..

Yes, most ICO's now are utilizing ETH, then the probability of the increase of value of ETH to 5,000 USD is high. I hope and prayed that ETH will even surpass bitcoin in the future. ETH supporters here we come!

Nice!    All good.   Hopefully your download is good and everything works out. 

No....
"Download it, put it into the same folder as your CLAM wallet.dat, then restart the client."

That image is of your executable folder.  Your wallet.dat file is in:      
C:\Users\(youruserdirectory)\AppData\Roaming\Clam
or
%appdata%/clam

(For the above, I am assuming you are using defaults since you don't know where your wallet.dat file is.)

Thanks. That's what I would have said if I was here to reply.

Hey guys, so the last ripple thread got closed down and since there aren't any new ones I decided to make one on my own.

I got around 126 ripple at the moment and I'm just wondering if they will turn me into a millionaire in the next two years.

I personally believe that they will and that anyone reading this should invest into ripple.

*NOT AN EXPERT, RESEARCH YOURSELF BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING*

After all, you cannot beat the banks.
They will buy all the ripple and they will pay whatever amount is needed just to get the technology for themselves.
This means that getting in now, at a dollar, is a bargain as the more banks get interested in ripple and buying it, the more the demand for it will grow and the prices will shoot up crazy!

We watched it go from 0.19 to almost 5$ in the span of just a few weeks, I don't see why bigger growth isn't possible and don't tell me about the market cap- people were bickering about it on a dollar and ripple dumpstered it without any issues.

Please discuss and remain civil while doing it.

It's 2,565,076,446 bytes and contains 2,027,900 blocks.

That's an average of just 1,265 bytes per block which isn't very much.

I made an updated bootstrap.dat file for people having trouble syncing their client.

It goes up to block 2014300 which was staked on Wed May  2 12:42:40 UTC 2018.

It's available as a download here:

  bootstrap.dat

or as a torrent here:

  bootstrap.dat.torrent

Download it, put it into the same folder as your CLAM wallet.dat, then restart the client.

If you are using the QT client, it will say "importing blocks" in the lower left corner while the bootstrap.dat file is imported. That is how you can tell that the file is being used.

It will take a while to import it, but it will be a lot faster than trying to sync using the p2p network.

When it is done, the client will rename the file to bootstrap.dat.old and won't look at it again.

Once it has been renamed you can delete it if you like.

To verify that you have the right file:


Edit: I also made a series of 'partial' bootstrap files. Each one contains the block data for 10,000 blocks.

  https://s3.amazonaws.com/dooglus/bootstrap-000.dat is blocks 0 through 9999
  https://s3.amazonaws.com/dooglus/bootstrap-001.dat is blocks 10000 through 19999
  https://s3.amazonaws.com/dooglus/bootstrap-002.dat is blocks 20000 through 29999
  etc.

I'll add a new one for each new set of 10k blocks. Currently they go up to bootstrap-200.dat

So if you already have everything up to block 492123 and want to get up to date, download the -049, -050, etc. files, append them all together in order into bootstrap.dat in the same folder as your CLAM wallet.dat and restart the client.

In Windows you can append the files together by running "cmd", and using something like:


In Linux the command would be:

Friends!
Could you please tell me which alternative coins backed by smth real can you advice?

Do any of you have plans on how you'll eventually spend your crypto?

I'll be using Zeex Their protocol lets you to buy gift cards directly with crypto and spend them with major retailers like Amazon, Starbucks, Playstation etc. with no fees. And they're backed by their sister company Zeek, which is already the biggest gift card provider in Europe, so the platform will be up and running quickly after their token sale.

Here is their website if you're interested: https://www.zeex.me/

Do you think the market will stay green or turn red?

It not an easy call

I say green

It really is hard to believe that there are some ICOs who are intended to scam people. There are all hypocrits and rely on the weakness of people especially those who are new to bitcoin. So sad.

How do you choose Altcoin...??!
And how do you choose a bounty project ... ??!
Please give me your opinion, because your opinion will be very useful for me who is still as a beginner ..

Can anyone inform me a little on the ICO market ? Basically it's an investment that can bring profit or not bring anything, this part is clear.
I would like to know if there are any trusted ICO's out there and not just the regular runners with the investments.
Has anyone here had any substantial succes with any ICO ? Like you invested in some ICO when the shares were costing close to nothing and now to be worth a lot ?

One of my friends has purchased 100K BCN. But some people say BCN is a shitcoin and stay away from it.
Is it really a SHITCOIN that we should not waste money on it? How you see that particular coin?

Hi guys, do you know about some good ICO or already working altcoin, which gives you passive income for holding?
I really like exchange coins like a Kucoin, COSS or Bitpaction.
MinexCoin also gives me profit for holding, and something big is coming in this year! Or Lisk is a good choice.

Share with us your coin and why do you HODL this coin.

What you guys think which altcoins are the best for investment purpose, mention your reasons too?
For me below are the coins which are best for investment.

Icn (High potential to increase in near future)
Adx (Price is low from ico but price will increase soon)
Vsl  (Profitable)
Eth  (Best option to invest for long term)
Ae (not on exchange yet)
