1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Community driven non ICO projects on: September 27, 2018, 02:50:06 PM
Hey guys, thanks for your opinions.

@lx001 that is exactly what I like about them too. The fact that the team is not receiving any money beforehand is making them work harder, usually. What I meant by scam projects is that team sells their tokens after exchange listing, leaving users that bought them wih bunch of worthless tokens.

I am a bit disappointed I misse Deep Onion, but am sure I will find more like that 😊

Thanks that you shared your tips, will check NOBS and SEMUX out

What do you guys think about community driven projects, that did no ICO, instead airdrop most of their tokens to their members? Most coins I came across in this "niche" are privacy coins with quick & untraceable transactions. They usually offer limited total supply somewhere in region of couple of millions. There are/were a couple out there that I know of.

Prime example of this was Deep Onion, that have made many people 10s of thousands (even more) of USD when sold around ATH.

But on the other hand, there were a lot of scams here too. Projects got listed on exchanges, teams sold of their tokens, never developed their projects and left with money.

What do you guys think of these projects? Do you have a favorite one you are part of? My favorits now are Privcy and Metacash. Both have white paper released and both have active teams behind them, Privcy in particular.

hi there, I am not much experienced in this field, but I googled it and came across this conversation here on bitcointalk.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2693091.msg36855954#msg36855954

based on that, TOKEN ID "denotes the smart contract address", but cannot guarantee it. hope this helps

Regardless what systems or groups that are reviewing ICOs are out there, it is always best idea to research them yourself. Yes it is tedious and yes it is time consuming, but it is the best solution.

If time is what you’re lacking (as me sometimes) I could recommend these 2 sources of quality reviews, however ALWAS double check everything yourself

Coin Bloq on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrsEzLxi1oxHr6xW9S5vSzg - Charles has very similar review strategy as me and is not shilling projects. That’s why I like his channel

MM Crypto - is review sheet that have very strict metrics set up and always follows them. They have free excel sheet and have growing community. https://mmcrypto.io

Again, take these resources as learning/research resources or as a way to sort out bad projects. That will help you focus your research on better ones. Hope this helps

Totally agree with you! Though they lowered me in rank, but I was not upset! This gives me a greater incentive to write quality posts. I also see that the forum is cluttered with spam and offtopic, but new rules prevent it only before the first merit is received, and then everything will continue. I think that it is necessary to tighten the rules and make sure that all participants confirm their rank by earning a merit a week for example.
And I see it's really helped your rank there noob. not one merit. This is idiotic and I don't even care about this site anymore. Just one more knock against crypto.

How about taking this as a chance to prove everyone that they were wrong and quality post the sh*t out of this forum? Instead of complaining...

Just saying... 🤔

Hi Twkasun52  (nice name  Grin btw)

When I first joined this forum, I was reading everywhere (just like you do now) "make sure to post quality comments" so this is how I tackled it.

I always try to help as best I can, I mostly hang out here in Beginners and helps forum, there are lot of users seeking help
I take the extra time to research the topic I am about to post about, if need be.
I offer links to quality content about requested topic, if I have any to share.
I look at the question/dilemma through my eyes - in other words, what reply would I like to get.
I offer my honest opinion, if my fellow is seeking it.
Politenes goes a long way, it's nice to be nice  Wink
I never write posts with the thought of getting Merit in return.
I actually never expect anything in return, it shows in your answer (ok, Thank you is always nice).
Enjoying it, makes the whole "task" easier.

Sometimes all this could be just a couple of sentences put together, so you don't have to write any articles (to answer your question). Anyway at least I feel like this.

Sorry for my rumbling, my mind was flying to new heights there a bit  Grin

Anyway, hope this helps, cheers.
7  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Demoted from Jr. Member to Newbie? Read here first. on: September 18, 2018, 09:04:36 AM
Even if he is not  a good guy that was a good post.  It is important for people to know that there are 35-36 new people that can give merit As a source.  He mentioned it and gets my points.

Totally your judgement man. Not questioning that. I am just pointing out that it is unfair to hundreds of those posters who get lost in the din because someone like toheed2x spams 1000 reports in the time a serious poster would actually manage to post much less. If the post histories are taken as a reference, then at least the deserving ones get a better chance. Those who just "woke up because of rules change" should have to wait a little longer.

I would just prefer that the "good guys" get more of a chance than the "not a good guys".. Wink So shared my opinion with you.

until the backlog of "jr demoted to newb but did have the occasional good post in their history that was missed so not merited" people gets slogged through, this may look like some of us are too quick to merit someone who got demoted.

but the whole point is (per theymos) all they need is ONE good(ish) post thats meritable and get their rank back. or be able to get to jr rank to begin with.

although with some accounts ya gotta look pretty far back..

I don’t want to seem that I am complaining, because frankly, I have nothing to complain about, but one good post is unfortunately not enough, in order to get merit. You would have to “invest” months of daily (kind of) posting of helpful stuff and if you’re lucky you get that merit at some point. Problem is newbies or Jr Members don’t receive Merit too often. A least that was the experience I made.

Tbh I expected change of rules sooner rather later, because recently the sh*t posting, just for the sake of posting “something” (to qualify for bounties) was getting unbearable. Unfortunately there is no way of deciding between Jr Members posting quality posts and those that post rubbish. And that’s why everbody was affected 🤔

Before all of y'all start complaining and making a billion new topics about being demoted, read this announcement from theymos. Essentially:

Due to excessive garbage-posting, you now need 1 merit to be a Jr Member. All existing Jr Members who didn't meet the requirement were demoted. Also, newbies can no longer set any signature or personal text.

It's not super difficult to get one merit. Make decent posts that add something to the conversation rather than just rephrasing something someone else has already said. Also, if you're concerned about any bounties you were in that had a rank requirement, talk to your bounty manager about seeing if they will still give you credit for your work.

Finally, don't beg for or buy merits. I can understand that this is frustrating for a lot of you guys, but there's no reason to risk your account for just one merit.

And for those of us that have merits to send, please keep this in mind:

I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.

You may not agree with everything someone says, but try to look into the effort behind the posts. It will encourage those who are at least trying to make decent posts to continue posting in the future. Spend some time in the patrol section and look for posts to give merit to.



As a relatively new member to this forum, I would like to offer opinion from other side of the “barricades”. I mean don’t get me wrong, i will be the first one to want to stop sh*t posting, but want to express my opinion about this 1 merit rule.

I believe it is relatively hard to get merit,in contrast what everyone is saying. For getting merit your post have to meet 2 criteria:

-be of good quality/helpful/motivating etc
-you need to be lucky enough for the person reading it to like it so much that they will actually give you merit.

I personally found the 2nd part to be extremely hard to meet, doesn’t matter how good your post is. Thank god for that one amazing person that gave me my only merit, if it wasn’t for him I would be “demoted” now. Funny thing is, he had about 20 merits himself and he gave me one. There are people here that have hundreds of merits and hardly ever share.

Just something to think about 🤔
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Cheapest coins you can buy right now with real teams on: September 16, 2018, 09:13:54 PM
the first one that popped up to my head is Cardano (ADA). With 95% down from ATH and great team behind it, this one has great potential. Now I realize you probable meant some low cap gem, or something. But I had to mention my favorite project  Grin
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Metal is coming back (MTL) on: September 14, 2018, 03:10:47 PM
Tbh I never heard about this project, but I am not watching ICO market that closely anymore.
But looking through their website and price action, i like what i am seeing. If they are ready to launch their app in September there is nothing stopping them from growing few x times, in bull market. Of course they would need to onboard users heavily to be successful.
But with circulating supply of about 28mln, token price 80c (from about $14) and active team, it sure looks good. Plus they are on Binance too! Will look into this closer, thanks for info Grin
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: CRYPTO IS NOT RULED BY PEOPLE ANYMORE on: September 13, 2018, 10:23:44 PM
I believe that the market is going to go up to new ATH, some day... it may be this year or in 2 years, nobody knows. so my strategy is not to sell now, at loss. I will hold until bull market comes again, even if it means waiting for years. In my case, I don't feel under pressure, as I am not missing funds I invested into crypto. I only invested what I was ok to risk. If I sold now, I would be in red big time, but you cannot lose if you don't sell, right?

anyway, just my opinion  Wink

This is actually pretty good source of informartion on trading mistakes. I have to admit I was pretty skeptical at first, when I saw that this was your first post (many users use “throw away” accounts to promote garbage), but was pretty surprised in the end.

Personally speaking I think it is the hardest to get FOMO under control, I have fallen victim to it once or twice,l so that is the reason why I don’t trade 😬 it is very powerful emotion.

Thanks for your article
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Apart from Coinbase Where Do You Go to Buy Eth? on: September 10, 2018, 02:41:46 PM
Not sure if Bancor is exchange or just a place where to get crypto for FIAT, as I don’t know it that well. I noticed they have their own token (just like Binance or any other exchange). Is there a must to own their token in order to use their site?

I personally use Bitpanda.com that is Austrian company from Vienna (country and city where I live). You can pay with credit card (plus other means of sending money are supported too). So definitely great option for european crypto fans. Fees are ok, but if I remember correctly you have to do KYC...

This is going to be important topic for me for the future since I live in Europe, thanks for sharing.

I tried to goole any news articles related to an outcome of that meeting, but was not lucky, didn't find anything. This meeting happened last week right?
Did you find anything? Would really like to know what they discussed.
16  Other / Serious discussion / Re: First Country, Which Will Start Using Crypto As Official FIAT - Which One ? on: September 09, 2018, 08:51:21 PM
Which country will be the first one to start use crypto as official FIAT ? I think it will be small country, like Tuvalu, Nauru or Marshall Islands.

If i'm not wrong, the Venezuelean government already issued their own token a while ago. Therefor making it the first government issued token, which was backed by barrels of oil. Mainly countries which highly inflated fiat are looking into these options I guess

that was exactly what I was thinking. Inflated FIAT currencies will lead their countries to crypto. my first guess was one of the troubled south American countries like Argentina or above mentioned Venezuela. Or maybe Zimbabwe.

I guess it is not Zimbabwe after all, I found this Time article, which discusses Venezuale vs Marshall Islands as first country to accept Crypto as their national currency. interesting read.

in my opinion marshall islands made a mistake with the token supply and token split. they want to mint 24mln tokens and give half of it to company that is helping them with their launch. Half of their share (6mln) they plan to sell to investors. Leaving them with only 6mln tokens. Meaning that the supporting company will own majority of the country's future currency  Roll Eyes I find that weird. anyway, here's the article

Funny thing is that you bash my reply (and that in 2 posts) and then offer $20. Good strategy. Also I was not saying OP has to sell it there, I was just offering my experience? What did you offer apart from $20 buy offer? Lol

Also playerup is no random site it is 33k global and 13k USA on Alexa, just because you never heard about it doesn’t mean it is not legit.

It is a very good idea. I don’t know where ppl get ideas like that and why I don’t get them, but generally really good idea. Here are my problems with it:

First of all, if is meant to be newbie friendly why not use sats price, instead they used mBTC. I had to google it to check if it really is 1/1000th of BTC. I thought it was a bit confusing.

More importantly, they are very expensive. They want 6.043€/BTC today, when based on exchange course it should be 5.625€.

I would rather go bitpanda.com and get my BTC  for 5.589€  You can check yourself.

So I would say idea good, execution not so good.  Roll Eyes

Bitcoin Incognito(XBI)
*It has only 2 months life
* Instant transactions
*Low fees
*fully anonymous
**Very cheap
I bet this ICO will get 10.000x value in 1 year time.
It is the best ICO to trade anonymous, As soon as people realise it the price go to sky.
bitcoinincognito.org
I bet a huge amount of money on this altcoin, did I make a bad investment?

hi there,

well, to tackle the ICO statement, based on very quick skimming of their website, it was fork not an ICO. They were airdropping XBI to BTC holders 1:1

also not sure, why do you believe that this will go 10.000x in value in a years time, from what I am seeing it is nothing special, at least nothing unique. Yes, it has masternodes, yes is has POS. Last effort of creating bitcoin with private transactions (namely BTCP) reached ATH of about $50... Not sure that this can go higher. Competition is tough on the field of anonymous (private) transactions, see below.

what is not helping is another fork of bitcoin (and Zclassic, it is co-fork) called ANON (previously Anonymous Bitcoin) that has very similar features as project you mention, but with higher total supply of 40 million, is happening in September. They also have masternodes and run POW instead of POS. Their biggest advantages are transparency (team is known, white paper released, video vlogs on youtube) and hype behind it (ANON 6400 twitter followers, XBi 730 followers). I know that by itself doesn't support my statement, but it means something. Also ANON has 24 repositories on GitHub, I am not aware that XBi even has one. At least they don't share it on their website.

They also drop coins instead of ICO, they do 1:1 for BTC holders and 2:1 for ZCL holders.

Based on the above, it would be awesome if they did even 10x imho.
