I'm not join with ICO anymore, to much lost I get after replace my money. ICO is new way to collect fund from us and use it to develop their program. It's good concept but when they fail we also lost our money. Specially at this moment, I'm not recommended any ICO to join. Market is not stable and bitcoin has lower price and my money stuck with it. Think again and good luck with you.

Running a masternode is a form of staking, but more difficult to reach.
To stake coins you just need the wallet with some coins in it and depending on the coin the reward is calculated differently. Sometimes you get chosen by your coins age, so the longer you're holding the greater the chance that your coins will sign the transaction (the older your coins the greater the chance of getting a reward which is proportional to the amount of held coins) and sometimes you get chosen only by the amount of coins that you're holding (the more coins the greater the chance of getting a reward).

A masternode is combination of a staking wallet and a server. To run it you need a server, a stable connection, a minimum number of coins that will be used for staking (with Dash it's 1000) and time to main it. Instead of being chosen or not to sign a transaction a masternode is being constantly engaged and constantly paying out a certain amount of coins.

If everything is dropping, it's typically normal market movement. They tend to rebound in unison after a while, too. It looks like Bitcoin has hit a record low, but you honestly shouldn't worry about it. Things like this happen all the time. It may seem daunting if you're new to crypto, but at some point you'll just learn to dismiss it. The sooner you can do that, the better.

Meanwhile, here's an article that tries to explain why the market isn't doing too well right now:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apos-why-bitcoin-ethereum-ripple-202800064.html

Emphasis on tries, because no one really knows for sure why the market moves the way it does. If it truly is caused by the Bitfinex issue, then we may be stuck in a rut for a while. This whole issue about Tethers was just a disaster waiting to happen from the start.

First depends on what you are mining, and what you are mining.
If you have a mining rig then you should do your own research to find the most profitable coins to mine as an example BtcZ, BCN, ITNS etc.

If you are mining on your lap top or PC with your CPU or GPU (but only with that) then you can still make profit if you find newly added coins to the market which difficulty is low and can be mined easy, also to consider seeing their algorithm and which algorithms are fastest to mine.

As an example, I am mining with my lap top all the time. I have i7 CPU and I mine with 5 sometimes to 6 cores on the lap top. I mostly mine CryptoNight algorithm coins because they are fastest to mine with CPU and also GPU.
For a starter I can recommend mining Bytecoin or IntenseCoin or BitcoinZ. I am mining up to 10 coins per day (ITNS or BCN) which is still not a small profit to make. They have good prices and over a week you can make couple of dollars.

Anyway... if you are solo miner from lap top or PC with CPU or single GPU I recommend to mine newly added coins to the market with low difficulty, or you can try mining Bytecoin or IntenseCoin which are still easy to mine.
Hope this helps

For sure, you have already read depressing news about the Facebook's ban of advertising crypto currency.
I have already experienced this. I want to tell you about what and how Facebook does and what you and me can do with it. (https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/30/facebook-is-banning-cryptocurrency-and-ico-ads/)

1. Don't participate a bounties, which ask you to add the links to your posts. Before the announcement of the ban, Facebook began to form a black list of companies and campaigns for advertising crypto. It includes links to company websites and ICO, to groups in Telegram, to blogs in Medium and to Facebook pages. Any posts / reposts containing these links are blocked. That is, you made a publication, copied / saved the link for the report, and an hour later it was already broken, there are no publication anymore.

2. Do not take a bounty, which ask you to add the hashtags to posts. There is the similar situation with it. The most popular of them are also easily tracked by Facebook, with the posts / reposts containing them happens  the same  - the ban.

3. When you are writing your posts, pay attention to the vocabulary you use: ICO is better to write completely initial coin offering, you can replace coin with token. Words cryptocurrency, bitcoins, altkoins, etc., let try not to use at all, it is better to write an alternative currency, etc.

4. If the most part of your friends is in a crypto community, the more you are protected from blocking your account. The fact is that if your publications do not have the above listed markers, Facebook will be able to learn that you advertise the crypto only if someone complains about you. It is clear, that all our accounts are public, but our news is regularly seen only by our friends and subscribers, so it's very important to add new friends very prejudicedly and check the list of existing ones.

5. Once a hour or more, check the "Notifications" menu in your profile, they show all the locks of your posts / reposts, they are indicated by the mail envelope icon.
If you think that your publication did not violate Facebook's rules, click on the button "This is not spam," if you made a mistake, ignore the notice and write a new post, according to my recommendations.

6. I don't want to, but have to ... You need to add a phone number to your page. 1 number - 1 account
If you are blocked, this will save you from losing the page. Keep always near at hand the photo used in the profile of Facebook, it will help verify the identity. If your name is crypto, bounty, etc. urgently correct it for the existing human name.

I hope that this will help us in our already hard work.
If you have something to add, write, I will update the topic.
Wish you all the good!
Plus Merit if I help you with this information)
