Why would the average consumer want to buy xrp? You have a point there. It is not widely used and accepted such as Bitcoin. The average user wouls probably only buy it to hold on to as an investment to sell later for profit and nothing else. Speaking of the average users which will buy XRP as an investment and sell it later for a profit. The average users will be a newbie who is yet to understand the basic tactics of crypto investment because the last time I check the coin in the subject don't make many pumps in price even when other altcoins perform well in the market. The real pump happened at end of 2017 early 2018 when the all time high was around $3.60 Now XRP price languishing until further news or announcements affect it |

I would say that generally the ico trend has converted into IEO trend in 2019 although there are still traditional icos running as well but very few have raised decent amount of funds this year so only IEOs seem to be the successful fund raisers this years. That is interesting to note that ICOs are still running even though IEOs are increasing by numbers (it seems) Does anybody have any statistics to show the ICO/IEO ratio? |

Serial scammer and shameless imbecile Dean Nolan is now hoping that the Yolodice investors take their BTC funds and give it to serial scammer Dean NolanI noticed that Yolodice is closing investments in September.
The Yolodice bankroll grew considerably after BetKing closed at the end of 2016, before relaunching, I was one of the first big investors there.
To any investors who moved from BetKing to Yolodice after we closed, we support eth, btc and ltc investments with 25x leverage too.
If anyone moves from Yolodice to BetKing message me and I will set your account to 30% commission without the need to have BKT tokens to receive the normal discount.
What does it mean anyway? Just because they grew faster in no time so you accuse them to hijack your late investors? I believe any investors will only see this as a profit, they need to gain more and more with the huge wagering. Compare to your site I think yolodice is much more higher in wagering. Sorry for being offended but you are not suppose to hijack investors from some specific site. If they see that your site is worth to invest then I am sure you will get it. You are not suppose to force them just because of this 30% commision It's not to hijack them. Read the post. They are not going to be able to invest in yolo any more. So it doesn't matter what Yolo gets wagered. These people would need a new place to invest and so I made a good offer. From what you said I believe you are trying to persuade them to invest back on your site which I have got no idea where you got this information that most of your late investor is investing on there. Is this suppose to be private since it is really big amount? Why you can suppose to email 50 of them? I am really shocked about it It's a fact that a lot of old BetKing investors took their btc and invested in yolodice after betking closed in 2016. I was one of the the first to do it, ethan could confirm that. Now, in 2019, yolo dice is closing investment. That means those coins wont be on yolo anymore. So yes, I am saying that if people who were invested in yolodice now want to invest somewhere else AFTER yolodice closes investment then I would offer them a better commission deal. The email to the 50 people was something totally different. You are shocked because you never read or understand anything I ever right, the same way you ignore all the things I reply in those other threads.

@ TheRocketman
You skipped past my previous posts, would have been nice to get your opinion.
Do you have any intention of registering a company and adding the name and address to your terms of service? If not, other than blind trust could you kindly explain why users should trust your website?
Thank you

i agree. pundix team look like give more focus on their product than their token. with xpos and xpass, they offer accepting major crypto and they still can get profit from there.
they need to do marketing strategy to recover their token price. So what happens if they get a better marketing team? What is the next step? They need a lot of work to get XPOS accepted to a wider audience. |

I know about its failure but I still have tokens and hence don't want to know how much XEM I need to buy to transfer my tokens to an exchange. Do you have any info about it? The Dimcoin team should be active here so they can address your questions and concerns. I do not know how many XEM you require. |

They are actually looking to tap with the other institutions ( https://thexrpdaily.com/category/ripple-news/) and hope this would take a lead for its market survival and growth. XRP is still a profitable investment but not just to stop from what it has today instead to find another way to sustain the market demand and also with the market competition as well. I hope they make those connections and tap in to other financial institutions so they can expand usage for not only Ripple but XRP too. |

During blockchain analysis of Minexsystems BTC wallet I found that ICO money was spent(cashed out on few exchanges) till June 2018,but first premined coins were sold on 13.Dec.2017 on Livecoin exchange. They started selling premined coins far before all ICO money was spent which points that theirs primary intention was to use ICO as cash cow.
They claimed how theirs monthly expenses were $280.000 which is complete lie(max. around $50.000),especially as we know how they delivered nothing from whitelist.From the day one money was diverted in Boris pockets and in his private project - making video game which was never part of whitelist.So,part of money went into Boris pockets directly,part of it he invested in his private video game project, which would make him a filthy rich man. If they sold pre-mined coins that early on then they thought they would have a free milk-cow for years to come but they achieved nothing. In the end, all the cash was spent and the very few MNX they have remaining have little or no value. How this fool demolition man Boris could even continue with this scam until chasing the very last cent he can get out it - is very strange. |

  4 users logged in 5 visitors (or bots) just browsing The name is a joke: "betking" Nothing regal or royal about this trash scam website that was used by its serial scammer owner operator Dean Nolan to scam millions of USD$ from investors that trusted him What happened to the "chat box" in the betking website? What happened to the Telegram channel? The end is near for the betking scam website to close. This serial scammer Dean Nolan can keep his 78.5% ownership (1.5 billion BKT tokens) of his beloved betking scam that he got to keep by burning over 8 billion of the 10 billion EOS BKT tokens, it will do him no good. Siphoning-off the $2.785 million he made from the 30 millions BKB he stole from the 100 million that were created in the 2017 ICO did not bring him any success or happiness. Shame on you serial scammer Dean Nolan |

Tha main aim for now is to survive from that fool and stat above the altcoins. The market becomes more unstable, and if XRP continues to dump I see the price to become more weak. XRP need to develop something new, they don’t have any big progress so far especially this year, they can’t afford to lose. I would say Moneygram investment was a huge deal, an unexpected and unannounced partnership which should have yielded better results. https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/moneygram-starts-using-ripples-xrapid-201908041316 |

People are harking about this news as if it is something that actually affects either Coinbase or Barclays. It was a business tie-up. It ended. There'll be other banks and other relationships that'll be worked on behind the scenes. No point in rebroadcasting the same news in multiple posts here. I also did not consider Barclays to be a big roleplayer in crypto sector.
Stuff like this is notable. The UK crypto scene is stunted because of the lack of banking. This was a big step towards it catching up. The US crypto scene is dependent on a very small number of banks. If one of them throws in the towel in a similar manner you can bet your tight buns it would be major news. Whether we like it or not conventional banking is a major factor. I have to agree with this. If there was more movement regulation wise within the UK banking field towards crypto wider implementation then it would narrow the gap between conventional banking and crypto. Right now any move whether deemed positive or negative between exchanges and UK banks will make the news and that is a good thing because it keeps the current disparity for all to see. |

Why would the average consumer want to buy xrp? Only for speculation. Zero real world usage for ripple like most alts. Lottery tickets basically. It is clear Ripple is being used in fintech and Moneygram will be implementing it in the very near future since the Ripple deal virtually assured it. XRP would be needed for low cost almost instantaneous transactions. It seems Bitcoin as a base currency, Ethereum for contracts and XRP for banking does have a future for now. Just the single XRP price has been a let down. Yes most altcoins are lottery tickets, sadly no way of being 100% sure which will succeed and which will fail or at which point investors should jump in then out before the price falls. |

There were a staggering 10,000,000,000 BKT tokens created on EOS. Now, there are just 414,268,058 BKT in circulation and a massive 8,085,731,942 BKT burned. The remaining 1,500,000,000 BKT belong to serial scammer Dean Nolan.
Gee, what could possibly go wrong here?  He only has more than 3x the total circulating supply of this token... Unfortunately he won't be able to crush the token from almost nothing to nothing too easily, as there seems to be zero market demand for it. I've been following this issue since you first commented about it, and then thanks to LoyceV's input on the matter as well in the Scam Accusations section. No doubt what he's been doing is illegal, but even when it comes to these types of issues that could border on the gray areas of the law, why would anyone trust a guy with such an awful reputation on anything going forward? He's got an awful track record and I would hope investors of any future project of his would take that into consideration before trusting him with their money. Nice to see your post nutildah, thank you for posting here and for keeping an eye on what is going on with this subject. Yes it is true, serial scammer Dean Nolan owns over 78.5% of the current incarnation of the betking website and this after he stole 30 million of the original 100 million BKB tokens created in the 2017 ICO and on top of those 30 million tokens he stole it is currently hard to work out exactly how many other tokens he stole when he siphoned them off. A simple calculation using the guaranteed buy-back rate which he ditched as soon as he cashed in the 30 million BKB tokens he stole it amounted to $2.785 million and that amount is excluding the untold millions of BKB tokens he siphoned-off. Somehow when he moved over to EOS tokens creating BKT tokens he ended up with 10% of the tokens for himself thus 10% ownership and the investors allowed that to happen. Now, by burning over 8 billion of the 10 billion EOS tokens it leaves this serial scammer pathetic imbecile Dean Nolan with an ownership of over 78.5% of all BKT tokens. Strange how he did not burn his own ownership on the same ratio as he was burning other tokens so his stake would never have increased and investors would have held more than the 414 million BKT tokens they share between them. He obviously has fooled the original ICO investors by spinning them more lies and duped them in to hanging on yet in the end he is effectively the majority shareholder by a massive margin even though he scammed everybody and pocked multi-millions illegally after the 2017 ICO and that is theft which if investors step forward will be enough to start legal proceedings against this serial scammer Dean Nolan. I am trying to get a few more pieces of information and evidence as well as information from ICO investors before presenting my case file to the UK (Scotland Sheriff) Police: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5047787.0 |

The population of companies and banks are not enough to really drive the value of xrp more than what it is now, consumers are the ones that really do make the value of projects to skyrocket through their demands, but as ripple is, not many people are actually interested in using ripple, and no matter how hard they buy their ways to the top, they cannot continue to pay from that position, one day, they will get tired and will definitely drop from that position and give it to the rightful owner.
Investment in ripple right now is very shaky and I don’t know if those who had bought at peak when their value was like $4 will ever recover their money again, but I guess those ones still have their investment in bitcoin so they will surely recover through that one. You are right about those that purchased at all time highs, it is hard to see them getting their investment back. Any profit seems a long way off. Maybe the usage at the moment in the fintech sector is simply not enough to rise the price but the shining light is the current 24 hour trade volumes of $1.2 billion. If that stays like that then the price might rise. |

Several times I have participated in a project that uses payment for waves, but I do not see any very significant changes with waves and are not very sure that I can replace ethereum. I feel it's still difficult to exchange in waves and not familiar. Agreed. Waves is simple not big enough or widely implemented and used as much as ETH. Though without any doubt Waves will continue to have its own ecosystem and own users, it cannot replace or take on Ethereum. |

Bankera's ICO was held in SpectroCoin - meaning that BNK tokens were distributed through our platform. Additionally, the net transactional revenue is still distributed to those who keep their BNK there, so there was the need to include the agreement to SpectroCoin's T&C as well.
One of Bankera's communication channel with their community is their chat; many users there decided to join bitcointalk and participate in discussions, seeing that many others are not on Bankera's chat - you may join the chat yourself and check the situation with the others. For more details on both topics, you may reach Bankera's team directly through their thread. The mention of "SpectroCoin" in the T&C pdf of Bankera is a complete failure as it does not explain in details who (and what) SpectroCoin are and it does not explain what their end aim and connection to the ICO or Banekra was/is. Bankera itself seems to be a failure as it does not seem to achieved much. The exchange looks like a dull website nobody wants to use. Major concerns include: The lack of information on the about us: https://exchange.bankera.com/aboutLess than 2000 Twitter followers: https://twitter.com/BankeraExchangeBNK Systems Ltd is shown as the owner of Bankera: https://exchange.bankera.com/terms-of-serviceBNK Systems Ltd is not mentioned once in the terms and conditions of the main website: https://bankera.com/docs/Bankeras-Terms-and-Conditions.pdfWhat is abundantly clear is that Spectrocoin is the defacto owner of Bankera. Spectrocoin tries to portray itself as a separate entity from Bankera (which in legal terms it is) but morally it is the same team with the same people with the same agenda trying to achieve the same thing. That is something has been attempted continuously. So if I have this correct, the ICO in March 2018 raised a staggering $151 million: https://icodrops.com/bankera/Today it has a market value of less than $40 million: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bankera/There is no real exchange, there is no payment card facility and there is a market value loss of over $110 million in less than 18 months of the ICO ending so it is not exactly a great success is it? The ICO token price was 0.017 EUR each but currently stands at 0.0014 EUR each. More of a monumental failure than a success I would say. Considering that UAB Spectro Finance (Lithuania based company) which operates Spectrocoin effectively launched an ICO for a new venture called Bankera which is a watered down version of Spectrocoin - it raises ethical questions about why an ICO was needed for Bankera when all the tools, facilities and more already existed in Spectrocoin. I will look around for more information and maybe will update here if I have anything else to say but now I would appreciate a response to the post you completely ingnored: @ SpectroCoin_support
The other thing I picked up was the need for the sock-puppet accounts that had the one agenda and a sole purpose to pump the Bankera thread in order to imply the state of the ICO and the Bankera project was either in-demand or going well.
This thread, especially the OP provides excellent irrefutable evidence that a scam was being operated: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5174337.0
Could you kindly explain why it was considered necessary to implement a plan for spreading propaganda and attempting to create fake buzz by using either newbie or purchased sock-puppet accounts just so the Bankera thread remained pumped?
Thank you |

2019 has been a successful year for crypto holders because of the increase from the begining of the year, but ICOs have not been really successful yet because of the investors panic on putting money into ICOs. And what are your views on IEOs? Have you invested in one? |

I don't have a massive amount of confidence in Clearbank's partnership lasting. The Zcash thing is a rapid demonstration of that. The smaller the bank, the easier they'll be pushed around, the twitchier they'll be and the quicker they'll be to fold when put under pressure.
In a country with banking as crypto hostile as Britain Coinbase need a heavyweight on side, not an upstart. I agree that Coinbase needed a heavyweight with a proven track record in the UK rather than an upstart but Clearbank is not exactly a novice. If Zcash was dropped from the deal there has to be some sort of pressure from somewhere otherwise they would have added it to a growing list of coins. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds and how Coinbase make further announcements in its press releases. |

Not impressed.
There is no real meaningful contract in the terms and conditions. Who exactly can users take to court if fraud takes place?
There is no company or other ownership details or any contact address and telephone number. This is a massive risk for any potential game players.
I believe everything could be sorted out in time let's just give them the time to improve their site if there is a problem/suggestion i think OP could easily make things possible. Besides this is just a new site that is trying to make a name to all of the existing reputable ones. Many thanks for the post. I tend to agree with you in part but if so much effort can be made to code, host and get the site up and running then registering a company should not have been a problem. satoshibet.io was also launched without much fanfare in March 2019 and one day it just vanished without any announcement. Nobody knows what happened to any user account balances that were on there and nobody knows why they shut down. Very alarmed at what I was looking at my first post in their now abandoned thread is similar to the first one I made here as I asked them details about who to sue if the website goes bust or if they scams users. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5119826.60https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5119826.msg50288000#msg50288000https://twitter.com/Satoshibet_ioOn a different note, I do wish the website owners success because they are a new business just as you mentioned but that is no excuse for not putting clear ownership and liability details in their terms of service. |
