That's very unfair. Working for 2.5 months and got nothing all because he had not submit KYC documents and the fact that they only gave 4 days to submit them. Its best to tell the bounty hunters from the start that they need the KYC so they expect to submit than announce all of a sudden KYC is required. I will also be seeing it as a way to eliminate bounty participants in the list if only for that reason why he didn't get the tokens intended for him.

I have uploaded a lot of pictures already before I learned its not safe there. Even with google account is also not safe. If there is any solution to this I probably have done it already but deleting pictures and deactivating facebook profile doesn't help as well because, its all there still. They just don't make my date available for all but its there still.

If government is spying crypto users, its going to be easy for them to see even without libra.

OHGod isn't he the one who claimed bitcoin co-founder? He must be a scam.

Funny because he speaks to conferences just like Craig. And around him people believe just the like the two in the video.  You really have to be that naive to believe this guy, he doesn't even speaks like a computer literate.
984  Economy / Economics / Re: If the stocks market will crash again like 2008, what will happen to bitcoin on: November 06, 2019, 05:21:45 PM


Bitcoin is the way out as from market crash devastation. I say if you are going to be ripped by the government by declaring no value to your fiat then BTC is always going to be the solution before that even happen. We have seen this happened in Zimbabwe, you don't wanna be holding a lot of cash insides your sack of rice that has no value. You'd rather be buying BTC and other cryptocurrencies to be ready else, its a nightmare you are going to face.
985  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Peter Schiff: China’s Gold Backed Crypto is better than Bitcoin on: November 06, 2019, 05:02:10 PM

Peter doesn't understand the decentralization which is why he is up to resist the technology just like Dimon. He had not seen it before that it isn't the first crypto project backed by gold that failed.

Peter knew he already sound stupid with all his claims but he wanna express himself, maybe to save his business in the brink of collapse when all the businesses around his are now gradually looking into blockchain which currency he hates the most also uses blockchain.

986  Economy / Economics / Re: Asset backed cryptocoins? on: November 05, 2019, 08:46:09 PM
Its been explained that its going to be hard to put value to the coin when the real asset lies somewhere else and the answer to the question of whether the real asset is real or not is uncertain. And when its proven real, how do you determine whether the team/developer are not making this project centralized?

The blockhain of this asset backed coin may not be centralize but the real asset like the gold reserves are. People somehow trusted this ZRCoin recently, its not going to end well. If the project ain't going to succeed in the production and sales, they are going to go back to the basics as to whether its truly decentralized.
987  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: there are still many who invest in cryptocurrency? on: November 05, 2019, 08:07:19 PM
as we know that in 2017 many ICO were successful (at least reached softcap) and of course the market cap was also very high at the time, so it proves that many people are interested to investing in cryptocurrency, but now where do these investors go? because now the market cap is down and many ICO or IEO are failing (not reaching softcap), are investors no longer interested to investing in cryptocurrency? if yes, where are they investing now? or is there a more profitable investment than investing in cryptocurrency for now?

I don’t know where investors invest in cryptocurrencies, but I know for sure that most investors are waiting for the right moment to enter the market. There is a high probability that starting in 2020 the market will show good growth and this will provoke a chain reaction due to which many investors will come to the market. In any case, I hope so.

You must be referring to the old crypto investors who already knew how and when the cycle is going to cycle. But if I think this is exactly the right time since the prices had hit its bottom.

There are still lots of investors even this 2019, there is Cosmos who received millions and there's Bittorrent. Several few projects doing IEO, not really notable enough that they got millions to be listed in big exchanges but they made there still. Maybe their investors are just trying to get some few bucks when its listed on Korean exchanges.
988  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-11-05] Bitcoin Price Hits $11.6K on Argentinian Crypto Exchange on: November 05, 2019, 07:46:58 PM

There would be be any other options if they are going to be strict to foreign exchange, cryptocurrency would be their next option. Probably even the best option before going for USD for an Argentinian with lots to lose in times like this. Must be worth for the localbitcoin user to dump his coins to anyone for $11K. Looks like South American countries are up to revolutionize cryptocurrencies, they're on the right track.  Smiley



989  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: New Crypto Alt Coin Annoucement - Free to Join and Mine via Mobile Phone on: November 05, 2019, 06:42:10 PM
Hello everyone!  I appreciate the responses I am getting from my post about this project (PI Network).

Just a quick note about me, I have been in the crypto space for over 2 years, but, never posted anything on this site.  I always used bitcointalk.org as a resource for researching specific crypto projects.

I became aware of PI Network about 2 months ago.  Ever since, I have been mining the coin on my Iphone with no issues.

After reading the Whitepaper and researching this project online, I was convinced that this project had potential.  The main fact that it's introducing the crypto space to the global population (over 1 million have already joined) at a very fast rate.  Many of whom haven't heard about crypto or have never invested.  At this stage, the project is completely free to join and earn an ample amount of coins on a daily basis.

I updated my original post to include the projects website (https://minepi.com).  Also, I added a private chat room that can be accessed once you download the app (PI Network) and activate your account.

Thanks again for all the feedback!

RVCOIN


You didn't addresss CjMapope's concern about then having their own chain. After reading his reply, I thought Pi is in ETHereum blockchain but had plans to move to their own. There were several projects that were doing this actually and sometimes even instead use some other platforms like EOS.

What is the selling point of the coin besides it can be mined thru mobile phones?

990  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin freelancing is dead? on: November 05, 2019, 05:51:22 PM
In my personal opinion i will conclude that free premium job listing bitcoin freelancing services like https://www.xbtfreelancer.com are dead but there is one that requires an upgrade that still operates actively https://crypto.jobs requires $199 upgrade fees.

I really miss https://www.xbtfreelancer.com  Angry Angry Angry

Crypto.jobs looks too new to ask so much for its users. But it does have a great domain and I think this will actually be a good link that will rank on top of its searches.  I haven't really got a job from xbtfreelancer but I know there were employers there.

There are several more of the trusted job sites like Ethlance which you will have to pay ETH every time you do something. Kind of odd actually that instead of you getting paid, you first have to pay.
991  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Visiting Istanbul? Cash out your bitcoin in Istanbul on: November 05, 2019, 04:55:25 PM
MATHRex and enhu are typical of majority of "bitcoiners". They probably own some bitcoin, but have never really transacted, much less on the p2p sites they claim to prefer. So don't worry about them. Their choice of affiliations should help you decide if their opinions are worth it or not.

That been said, probably best to offer cash out in a safer way. Prepaid cards, for example, so people don't worry about fake bills, very common also in bazaar exchanges.

Well it should help if a person visits Istanbul and find out what tourist had been saying too. A tourist at least have to virtually see what is in the city before going. I haven't been there too but Scam City series shows a a scary scene. Its all over youtube though so I guess warning here is just a bit of tiny peephole for a tourist to see how daring scammers in the area. Bare in mind, BTC is valuable and scammers knew it.

Its a historical place though so missing it out could a miss of a lifetime. I would probably go there with 5-10 people along with me.
992  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin demand in economically volatile countries surges on: November 05, 2019, 03:48:03 PM
The amount of money isn't that big for a country that needs more of it though.

This is a good news and like a scenery to me seeing countries that are slowly adopting bitcoin as a real currency, though most of the countries are not still into cryptocurrency, but this is a big hope that someday in the future, all of the Governments will open their hearts and eyes to accept that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is not a threat, but a blessing in disguise.

Hopefully that could happen. The more countries applied blockchain on their daily systems the easier to see cryptocurrencies are also going to be adopted in different industries, right now cryptocurrencies are growing in numbers for each uses.

Bitcoin may just be use for now by the people in the above countries to store the money they have in times uncertainty like the political instability.
993  Economy / Economics / Re: Private Coins from banks and governments on: November 05, 2019, 02:22:14 PM
Do you think that banks, governments and investment companies such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and other will try to replace the decentralised coins and try to lure their clients to invest into their own private blockchains? What can be done to prevent that?
I don't think that banks and governments in other countries will make their own coins and try to replaced decentralized coins such as bitcoin because governments and banks in other countries don't have any intentions about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, so it is impossible to do such things. Also, governments and banks support fiat currency rather than cryptocurrency.
It is not impossible that government will release its own coin even the banks, we all know that some banks have their own coin listed in their local stock market, then they can make their own blockchains too, if they will do that they can regulate it by themselves , put taxes and they will circulate it very well, if it will happen theres no possibility bitcoin will be legalize  to that county.

The people that they can regulate are the ones who only uses their coins that would be too limited for banks. JP Morgan as far as I know had their own coin, I doubt any of us here used them already. For government coins, I guess there is a chance for people to use it. Though centralized it will still be enforce. China is close to releasing their own coin, I'm almost sure a lot of the countries will follow.
994  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Looking for Volunteer Writers on: November 04, 2019, 09:20:56 PM

You can't get them to write for free. Noting is free this time on the internet. Even those who re-write articles are well paid by news sites, If you have no people who has access and willing to travel to interview well known individuals in crypto space, re-writing is your option but that will still cost you per article. I've see users doing it and posting some clickbaits in the forum.
995  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin 2017 Price Rise was a Scam by Bitfinex using Tether(Fraud) on: November 04, 2019, 09:06:26 PM


Single-handedly? If all of them the whales just do it as well this time, you can already picture how much BTC would be. We'd all be millionaires here and McAfee might not even such his dick if it happens <-- that's the sad part.

Tether has issues about this backing up with the USD they hold but should they also question few other Stablecoin? Bitfinex can probably produce the trillions of USD they have to back the ones in the blockchain and besides they already have disputed this claim.
996  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: "Centrality" for decentralization? on: November 04, 2019, 08:29:21 PM

Heard of the project "Centrality" from NZ? They have a decent team and website (https://centrality.ai/).

But isn't it weird to call yourself centrality if blockchain is all about achieving decentralization?
I am not familiar with this project. But I should remind you that this project is not the first centralized project. Decentralization is no longer a highly valued factor for majority. The request by the central powers for regulation, the less attention given to DEXs can be seen as an answer to your question. To earn the paper money we want to move away, we sell the decentralization we want to move closer. Oddly enough, most of us are doing this now either compulsorily or willingly.


Bad marketing Smiley and on that note: can someone explain to me why this project is supposed to be useful, given that we already have Ethereum and other Dapp blockchains?
Is that their marketing idea?

Not really their marketing idea but it shows how it can be bad for a decentralized sphere to have a name related to centralization. Its easy to say how misguided the people who invest to them without knowing what the project is.

The platform project however isn't a bad idea, in fact it ranked on the 48th of CMC as of writing this reply. The project is for startups to work each other.

at 1000ehs, 1 BTC = $100k

Cool idea and why shouldnt the world be this neat but the fly in the soup here is the inclusion of the $ sign.   We cant rely on a constant $ value, I guess perhaps we can refer to 2019 $ and account for its variability afterwards.    If we do that we might as well go back to 1971 and take the last fixed price for dollar as the measure, in fact we'd take the grams or troy ounces of gold equal at that time as it would translate in a non changing measure physically.

The free market will always set the price with some error up or down and it generally does eventually do a good job of accounting for various inflation and excess supply available.   If we could fix BTC to another commodity, it might be energy as that is used to create the price and gold can also be said to have a relationship to the oil price again with energy a large part of the costs to mine gold.   So that is the way I'd go to find a constant relationship in the price.

The security of the blockchain scales directly with the hash rate and so should
the price.
I do think there is some good comparable measure here between blockchains thats fair reflection of approximate worth.

BTC is a currency, the price of it depends to its demand and supply just as fiat currencies which fluctuation can be seen in foreign exchange. If BTC is a currency then price will dip and bounce.

Security is one reason why BTC price could go up, hashrate makes it more secure and zooming out the chart we'll see that from the beginning BTC is actually rising since 2009. Zooming in to particular time frame in the charts will make it difficult to see where the price can go.
998  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should Ethereum Add the "Frozen Wallet" Feature for Certain Adresss? on: November 04, 2019, 06:53:54 PM
As we know, there are currently many cases of crypto hacking, especially this often occurs in ERC20-based tokens. So to anticipate this, should Ethereum add the "Frozen Wallet" feature just for certain Adresss to their smart contract? I think this way can prevent the hackers to selling their loot. Although this method will change the crypto vision from "decentralization" to "centralization", but if this method is effective I think it's no matter.

What do you think?

As transactions wouldn't be permissionless anymore, it would just be probably used by governments to pressure anyone having that power to block everything the government wants.
The freedom owning your own coins is the whole basis in this space, if you take it away from someone, someone will most probably take it away from you at some point.

Its going to be the case if a team of a project has the kind of smartcontract. The project being this controlled is not going to be welcomed by the community. XRP being centralize is even opposed by the community even without this freezing feature so you can compare your wallet as a bank account in the real world for they can freeze it when any activity they just suspect.
999  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin disappear? on: November 04, 2019, 04:05:47 PM

Can't imagine how they would do it. If they think the miners has the power for its centralization, why don't they help mining instead and try to at least achieve 51% is they can try to. Using the quantum computing might be one of the solution but its really just not existing right now, google had only got a break through but it would take a long time for them do it.
1000  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: "Centrality" for decentralization? on: November 03, 2019, 07:51:43 PM


Bad marketing really lol I don't know but whenever we see centralization, it always defy blockchain vision. They are going to have a hard time explaining every time to an investor why such name is given to a project. That alone will take time and the answers to the question already can change the minds of the investor.

They didn't even add that to the frequently asked questions.
