I knew from twitter that Richard Heart is planning to launch something, but I didn't pay much of attention.
Today everywhere I read only about HEX. I see I've missed the launch by a week. The price has already fallen to dust.

The interests it's promising looks fabulous. Together with the look of the website, it makes me stay extra cautious (although at 6 satoshi / HEX it may be a good business to buy now and sell it when it rises, if ever).
Although indeed it looks too good to be true, I'll stay in the middle and won't call it Ponzi. With the low price of HEX and a possible FOMO rush for Bitcoin, those promises have a chance to be achievable. (But in that case Bitcoin itself will be a much better business.)


Edit: I like a lot the "there is no real basis for value" part in the next post. It explains it best.

From my calculations it airdrops about 5$ per Bitcoin at current market price? I know, it's December 7, not 2, but the price fall I've seen is huge and it didn't seem to have ended.
Shame I don't know if this token is any good because then it may have been a good time to buy and keep a little before selling. But since I've already read between the lines some "ponzi" calls, I will surely read more first.

E interesant ca cine face claim prin referral primeste un pic mai multi HEX.
Dar Bidesk nu am folosit niciodata, iar cei 5$ obtinuti pentru un Bitcoin nu prea merita bataia de cap...

Oricum, bafta si tine-ne la curent daca pretul ajunge la un nivel de bagat in seama.

I can agree it's steady and we like the growth, but it's quite far from slow  

Just fyi, GRN ticker is (also) used by GreenPower coin, which seems to be traded at coinbene. I don't know more details though.

Daca erai orientat pe ETH citeste ce se mai intampla cu upgrade-urile lor - preconizate, facute, nefacute - nu am urmarit indeaproape, dar e o telenovela care a cam indepartat investitorii, am eu impresia.
Daca inca tranzactionezi ETH ar trebui sa fii destul de la zi macar cu pretul. Nu stiu cat de rentabil mai e.

Acum la partea de minat s-ar putea sa merite o privire catre Monero. A avut de curand forkul de schimbat algoritmul si momentan dificultatea e OK. Cel mai probabil nu va tine mult asa, dar daca ai niste placi care stau degeaba, e o varianta pana te hotarasti mai clar.

Then get some sleep. Working with money when you're so tired leads to mistakes.

A short 9k-ish rally is imho not a bad news (anymore). You know.. pump and dump and pump and dump.. makes speculators rich. And they're plenty now.
More on-topic: any expected time frame for that to happen? Is it still in 2019 or it's a larger - say max 2-3 months frame?

I'll try to help, but please double check my math and the logic too, just to be sure.


You should calculate some extra for the price fluctuations. They can be even 7-8% .. in both directions.
The transfer usually costs under 10 cents when you send from your own wallet (if you don't have too many inputs), but there's also the fee you pay to transfer from exchange to your wallet, which is usually bigger and it depends on each and every exchange.
Then you have to keep in mind that there are "live" exchanges where you buy at around the "internet price" (and there too buy and sell prices are different, while the internet price is a median), but some others will also add their own commission over that.

What I want to say is that you should compute in Bitcoin.
You need some 0.0069BTC + ~4% (half of 7-8%) = 0.0072BTC; the sending fee is negligible; the exchange withdrawal fee let's say 0.0005BTC (I used Bitstamp's, but I hope you can find a cheaper option)
Total = 0.0077BTC
Since you have 0.00527672BTC, you may still need to buy 0.00242328BTC.

By doing this you may buy a bit more than you need, but you should not get into situation you didn't buy enough. However, you've got the idea and you may play with the extra % and the exchange withdrawal fees, just try to compute your needs in Bitcoin..


Here i cannot help. For such a small amount it may not worth it to use live exchanges (like Coinbase, Bitstamp, ...) because of the bigger withdrawal fees and I've used only such exchanges.

This difference can happen even if it's fully synced, but there are still 0 confirmations for the funds. For reference:

It's said in many places that we're in an accumulation phase. Whoever has money to invest, they accumulate, no matter it's from Binance, Bittrex or other exchanges, no matter they're whales or small fish.

The tossing is normal. While the number of tokens keeps rising, Ethereum itself cannot keep up. And the latest development in its code and politics have actually decreased the appetite for Ethereum itself.
I am surprised it has happened only now.

But this looks more like an attempt to hype Ethereum a little and it's far from challenging Bitcoin.

Imho people who come to see what mining means will usually try to play with the hardware at hand: their own PC. And usually most don't plan to invest into ASICs.

Also make sure you understand that mining is a 24/7 operation which may shorten the life of your CPU/GPU by a great deal.
And if you have a laptop, you better don't start mining at all with it.

It was explained to me nicely that even a dip to 6000$ levels is to be expected sooner or later.
I was so sure for half of this year we'll see prices near the ATH this winter I am quite lost now. I guess that we have to rethink it all. That's what I do. I start thinking that the sooner we get those low prices the better. Then the growth can start again.

If we'd be able to read the future, we could have been already rich. So no, we don't know what will happen.
There's a pretty good chance a 2017-like FOMO bubble will happen again, but nobody can tell you when that'll happen.


PS. Let's not be fooling each other, this is a question from people "passionate" about their investment returns, not really the technology.

You could also add smart contracts to the list of "features".

About an "ultimate blockchain".. I don't know. Humans do like variation. Some don't care that Bitcoin is only pseudo-anonymous (and making it truly anonymous may give reasons for banning it). Some care only about smart contracts, others not at all. And (unfortunately) the huge majority only cares of which one of these gives better investment returns.

Crypto is not as mature as we'd like to believe. Maybe the time for "ultimate blockchain(s)" will come in the future. Until them, let them compete and prove their value (and fix their weaknesses).

I've had bad experience with HitBTC about 4 years ago, I've left it and never turned back.
Maybe things have change since then, but on the other hand I still see now and then people complaining about them. So I would avoid putting together HitBTC and "best exchange"...

I think that bounties should also avoid newbies, but OK, that's me and you are right that they are quite a big chunk of the ecosystem.
The specific board part sounds good at first read, but on a second thought it may not solve anything.

Well, I guess that we have to do better at reporting. I don't see anything really better for now. 

One can always create a new wallet and use the option to use addresses or private keys for it. There too he can put more than one, I certainly used that with more keys, one private key per row.
