I would pick ethereum over ripple, but I own both.  They are both leaders in their niche, with ethereum focused in smart contracts and ripple trying to tap the banking industry.

Ether is still the payment system for 1000s of tokens ... I think it will be ok long term. 

The only one on that list that I recognize is metal ... I wonder if it being removed because it is too much like a security. 

I've been wondering this too.  You might think it act as a safe haven or alternative investment, but when the us markets went into deep decline a couple of weeks ago, Bitcoin sold off, too.  Now, that may not be indicative of a multi year bear market, but it was kind of unexpected to see.

I've seen this scam run before with Omni tokens.  Same deal, except you have to deposit Bitcoin to sweep the wallet.  I've heard it referred to as a "honey pot" scam.

I just want transparency in a product like this.  Tether is screwing that up.  If the new guy can prove they have the cash sequestered and provide continuous updates from a credible accounting firm, I'd use this over tether.

Amazon coin would certainly get my wife's attention.  She has a passing interest right now, mostly just occasionally asks me if we are rich yet.

The sig campaign is not stopped ... It is still part of v1.5, just posted.

Impossible to predict.  During the stock market crash of 2000, seems like real estate was the go to.  And for the 2008 crash, bonds and gold.  There are more established "safe havens".  

And maybe it is not a good thing to be the safe haven because both RE and gold crashed shortly after.

But i do think the next crash will make more people take look at cryptos.

Isn't this basically what happened with the infamous DAO hack that spawned ethereum classic?  Bad contract code?  It does not surprise that it is still going on, all these ERC20 ico, airdrops, and bounties ... It seems like people are rushing to get their ideas out there and perhaps not paying attention to detail.

I see amazix is now involved on telegram and say there will be an announcement tomorrow.  I assume since amazix is involved we will be getting an ico and maybe a bounty?

Thanks for posting this, I'm a big fan of wepower and I will probably jump in, but I'm not sure how I feel about paying to vote and being paid to vote. 

Their website has not been updated since December, their Twitter is dead since November, their slack is dead since December, and the OP of this thread hasn't logged on since December.

All we have is these guys on telegram who claim to be the Xenon team, but can't provide evidence, claim they lost the password to Twitter, and have spread bad info to the point that Xenon was tagged as "fraudlent" on their CMC github link...

Steve did an excellent job on the Gladius campaign and went the extra mile at finding and excluding scammers and spammers.  I would absolutely join another campaign he is running.

So how do you get Bitcoin Private?  This sounds more like an airdrop than a fork?  Am I reading that correctly?

The developer has to contact CMC and request the change.  Be careful though, with new websites that claim to represent a coin, there are plenty of unofficial websites that have turned out to be scams ... I.e. private key theft and Trojan wallet downloads, etc...

Glad to see this.  What do you think caused this change?  I know the theory that miners and BCH backers were spamming the network to keep fees elevated ... did the “crash” make spamming less lucrative?  

It’s been bad for a while... BoA “froze” my debit card and cancelled my purchase the first time I tried to use coinbase.  I had to call and authorize the use, and try again.  Which again froze my account and cancelled the purchase.  I had to call again and it worked the 3rd time ...

And that was my debit card, it was my money.  This is why people are getting into crypto.  Banks trying to control how you spend your own money, and the reason they give you for locking your account is “suspicious behavior”?  It’s like they are admitting they so unsecured that the can’t tell a real purchase from a scammer, so they overreact to protect themselves, and inconvience you.

It doesn’t surprise me they are now stopping CC purchases, but When you have an 800+ credit score, a perfect payment record, and pay it off in full every month, it does kind of piss you off.

Yeah ... I know the merit system, I just didn’t understand how someone could have 132 activity and not have been at least a “member” (60 activity) prior to last week when the merit system was established.  It seemed mathematically impossible, but the answer is he made 100+ posts the in last week.
