felixando: Will you be following a similar privacy mentality similar to monero?
With monero:
- Transactions, senders/receivers are private, amounts are private.
- The privacy is enabled by default - this is different from zcash model, for example. Zcash privacy is opt in, so people with private transactions are "under" suspicion of some sort.
- It's possible to get transactions with transaction hash and transaction keys.
- Monero has the concept of view key, which makes it easier to audit.

All those aspects are what will make or break this coin. At a minimum, anonymous transactions and balances need to be required and not given as an option.

@Felixando,
You answer many questions but many people have also raised the question about using escrow for donations and I don't see that you have addressed that. What are your thoughts?

The list could be even shorter: private (ZK-SNARKS) and instant are already impossible with the current options. Zcash takes a long time to process ZK-SNARKS. Dash and even Monero are not 100% private.

I would argue that Monero is as private as it can be and currently is the ultimate privacy crypto; Both Dash and Zcash have many flaws.

As for Stone; Almost instant and fee-less transactions, and mandatory privacy, that Felix is proposing, is very tempting and promising! I hope there is more than vapor, it almost sounds too good to be true.

I am however definitely following! If this fails, I will be constantly looking for something similar that is is in the works.
Will donate as soon as some details/code is delivered + escrow is implemented.

Good luck Felix, I really hope you will deliver!

5  Economy / Trading Discussion / Help with Stop Loss Strategy on: May 25, 2017, 03:48:14 PM
Hi!
I am a new holder of some cryptocurrencies (80% in Bitcoin) although I have been following it for much longer. A couple of months ago I pulled the trigger and opened a position over some time with an average price of $950. I am in for the long term (many years) but still would like to protect a large portion of the gains I have made so far and have started thinking about putting in a stop loss but realized that it is not that easy since the market is so volatile... The tests I made with smaller amounts didn't work out so well - for instance, I used a trailing stop loss (market) and what happened was that my position sold and the price shot right back up again (duh...) and I ended up having to buy back at a higher price... haha Roll Eyes

Since I don't want to trade much and constantly keep an eye on my positions I still would like to have some kind of mechanism in place so I don't loose much of the gains if the price tanks completely. The idea, however, is still to be long and I would buy back in and hopefully get some more coins...

So,
Is a trailing stop loss at market a good idea for me? What percentage would be good? I don't want it too low since I don't want the stop loss to execute all the time, I'm fine riding the "normal" volatility (whatever that is...).

One thing I have considered is to divide  my Bitcoin position in thirds and put three different trailing stop losses; perhaps at 10%, 15% and 20% - is that smart?

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
