I've been involved in this project since the beginning and also the one it sprouted from near ICO. I assure you, there is no scam. There also was no token swap. It was a true airdrop for holders of ODN, should they chose to claim it. Many of us are still keeping and continuing to stake out ODN in addition to running ODIN MNs as ODN is still a thing. The KYC will indeed help with exchange listings and is also there to prevent abuse. Also, users who were eligible to claim 150K ODIN or more had an extended review process.

KYC is ONLY a 1-time thing for those wanting the airdrop of ODIN, and will no longer be a thing outside of that.

Thanks. Too rich for my blood especially with the piss-poor 3% stake reward.

Looks like I'll be dumping soon as I break even for another coin.

What is the amount of QRK required for a master node? Are the rewards going to be increased? Other projects are giving 10-15%. Does the 30days only apply initially? I bought a few thousand but if I want to add more I think waiting for 30 days for the additional coin to increase my staking weight would suck.

Thanks!

I'll be increasing my holdings of Monero (XMR) from 1/4 of my portfolio to 1/2.

I really believe in Monero and I'm actually just buying Monero with all my BTC profit while leaving all of my capital in BTC.

BTG on Oct 25th and BT2 on Nov 17th. As of this post, it seems to be BTC is finished with its healthy pull-back and will now be going up in anticipation of the BTG fork on the 25th (1 week away).

Now personally, I don't own many BTC, so I am honestly not concerned with having a ton to get an equal amount of BTG. What I am concerned with is anticipating when BTC will peak prior to the BTG fork so I can sell all of my BTC.

Then I plan on rebuying all the BTC I can after the dust settles and it looks like BTC will start rising again in anticipation of the BT2 fork on Nov 17th. Same deal there personally, I don't care about getting BT2, I care about dumping all of my BTC just prior as it peaks. Then buying all in after the dust settles from that fork then I'll just HODL.

All of that said, what's your speculation on when BTC may peak prior to the BTG fork? I'm thinking the day before. Then I anticipate a healthy pull-back on BTC for a few days, before a rise in anticipation of BT2. I'm thinking I'll also sell the day before that fork. Then I think BTC will pull-back again but this time it may be 2-3 weeks until the dust settles and it's safe to buy and HODL again.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Damn, Monero isn't even in the Eden build yet

I bought some more BTC yesterday during the low so I'm about 3/4 Bitcoin and 1/4 Monero. I feel pretty comfortable with that and I'll grow both evenly from here out.

Honestly only BTC and XMR interest me at this point.

Thanks for the info. Like I said in my reddit post, it shows as "under evaluation", not "planned" or "in beta" on their roadmap page so I thought it was not really on their radar.

I'm glad to hear that it is.

I would like to see Exodus support Monero (XMR) as soon as possible.

I created a subreddit post here for people to up-vote to get their attention:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ExodusWallet/comments/7499sd/feature_request_monero_xmr_support/

Please up-vote the feature request post I made so we can make this a higher priority for them!

Well, while BTC was high yesterday, I traded some for XMR. I have about 40% into Monero now. I'm pretty confident and believe that it will be the next big thing so that's going to be a long-term HODL for sure lol.

I'll buy some more BTC this week at a low which will reduce XMR to only about 1/3 of my crypto hodlings.

Because I'm not a bleeding edge early adopter, personally. Plus while I never invest funds I can't afford to lose. I still worked hard for it and want to mitigate the risk of loss as much as reasonably possible. To me, that means going with the more well-known stuff. Lastly, I work full-time. Yes, I can check the markets periodically throughout the day and do a trade here and there if need be, but I can't live and breathe this stuff every waking minute to bail if something goes south in an instant with some fresh off the ICO bandwagon altcoin.

I tend to sell when I feel a peak, then re-buy when it's low and I feel it's starting to go back up. With BTC, that's about once a week for each buy and sell right now. I'm not a multi-trade day trader by any means.

Yeah 3/4 BTC would make me feel better too as I have the most trust in it as well. But let's face it, that trust is only because BTC has been the Bull in the game thus far.

Perhaps the better question is; say BTC settles $3,900-$4,000, which of the other altcoins do you think will begin to diverge from the BTC trending the soonest and pick up its own steam? Second, say BTC crashes, down to like $2,000, which altcoin do you believe would hold it's own value the best in that event?

I'm starting to feel the BTC bear and I'm interested in diversifying for better returns. I'm a trader, not a HODLer.

ETH has a lot of peoples interest, LTC as well. DASH has a growing following too. Personally, I'm interested in XMR. Mostly because of its superior anonymity features and because of that, I think people will flock to it and it'll surpass the popularity of ETH, LTC, and DASH.

To an extent, most altcoins shadow BTC trending. I feel like as BTC levels out/peaks (for now anyway), the altcoins I mentioned previously may begin to deviate more and more from the BTC trending.

What are your thoughts? Which would you invest in, what % of your crypto portfolio, and why?

I'm 100% BTC in my crypto investments right now. I'm thinking about breaking that off into 1/4 BTC, 1/4 ETH, 1/4 LTC, 1/4 XMR. I'm also considering 1/3 BTC, 1/3 ETH, 1/3 XMR.

Now that I've changed I'll say. It was Outlook.com

The correlation odds on this one though are obvious I think, or I wouldn't have made a thread about it. Remember, the email was made to look like it was from my email provider, not Coinbase. It said my account had been confirmed for deactivation and to click a link to prevent that from occurring.

Plus based on how Coinbase users have been getting hacked and their accounts drained I've been reading in the media online for the past couple months, this fits the MO.

If I didn't have a proper 2FA setup from the get-go, I would half be expecting a call from my cell carrier saying that my number is being ported.

Seriously.

Yes and yes. It was only a few minutes old when I signed up. I have already changed my Coinbase email to another now as well.

If they had come to an email client I would have exported the email as a complete file to save all that info. But this is a new email I made just to do Coinbase and I'm only accessing it via a web interface.

1 went to my inbox. I reported it as a spam email to my provider. The other went to my junk box and I set it to block. I then made sure to remove all trace of them from my account by deleted thing even from my deleted items ASAP. It was like 4 AM and just a quick knee-jerk reaction and I just went back to sleep after.

It occurred to me to maybe save them and report it to Coinbase but judging by their Reddit, I doubt it would ever get on their radar. Plus if I post the header here, it would then correlate to this forum account I have on clearnet forever for the hackers. I'm not a fan of that. Hence I'm also reluctant to say when I signed up, what email provider I used, etc.

Just to add, I tried using a VPN>Tor to signup, but Coinbase wouldn't even load so I just did it over standard https from a known uncompromised computer. Which is maybe to my advantage, as looking at the logs Coinbase keeps of account access that I can see, if I logged in with random MACs, from random countries with random IPs, they would probably lock my account and put me through ID verification hell.

I signed up for Coinbase and within only several hours, I have received 2 separate phishing emails. What's more is these emails were specifically tailored to resemble being from my email account provider.

How would scammers get my email that I signed up with so quickly? I would say either the https on their site is compromised, their server/db are compromised, or there is an inside job going on.

Note to the n00bs: Don't be a fool, the second you setup an account for anything, always enable 2FA as the very first thing you do. YubiKey or any other physical key is a great option. Remember, if hackers compromise your Apple, Google, or Microsoft account, they can restore the cloud backup of your device to a burner device they have, and thus have access to your 2FA app for the codes. We also have been seeing for months now that hackers are getting away with porting your cell phone # which makes the SMS verification code as 2FA totally worthless.

The moment my BTC purchase funds/clears, I'll be removing my connected bank account and sending it all to an offline wallet where I have physical control over the private key.

Something doesn't feel right in Coinbase land.....

Shadow Wallet is a mixer. I plan on putting my coins in it, buying a few things thru it, then putting the rest into an offline wallet for savings (Bitkey w/Electrum).

If the ATM has a camera I'll hide my face and cover the camera. According to the step by step instructions with pics on their site, it asks for no ID.

I'll check and see if there is anyone from LocalBitcoins in my area tho.

EDIT: Hahaha, as expected, not even anyone in my part of the state listed for cash transactions with no ID.

That's the truth I thought I was going to hear, I just wanted to be sure.

A local ATM huh? I'll have to look into that. Thanks!

EDIT: Ha! There is 1 Bitcoin ATM in my entire city, owned by National Bitcoin ATM. Seems legit. Machine takes cash, I just verify with an SMS to my pre-paid (which is not under my name) and into whatever digital wallet I give it a QR code for, so I can do it straight into my Shadow Wallet. Awesome!
