Is this a testnet for the POS 90   Shocked
Can someone confirm? Huh Huh

https://webdollar.aji.ro/test-proof-of-stake-pos90/

There is one testnet ongoing, there is already test net version 4, several bugs have been solved and the new version is soon to be released. This is based on the telegram announcements

Is still listed on Bittrex, several others too. Not going away that easy.. Cheesy



NXT was listed on CMC 6 years ago!

If you want to see the future of EOS, TRX, XLM, NEOS, etc.
Then see the NXT chart  Grin

Good thing about finally reaching rock bottom?
Up is the only option left.

Not true, unfortunately. There is another option: No volume delisting with time.

I remember buying some bags on Bittrex a long time ago. Has it been delisted? Can't see it on CMC.

I think ETH will have really good returns vs BTC in Q1 of 2020.
But, if you find a project that lost 95%+ of its ATH and is still alive and dev/community is strong, with own blockchain or real use case and partnerships(ENJ is one) those will be the next gems in the next 12-18 months. Buy the dips and be patient. Once this train starts, you will be handsomely rewarded.

Probably after bitcoin tests new ATH we will see money going into altcoins also. A few strong competitors for BTC, ETH from my point of view, might get crazy and test ATH before BTC. But thats just reaching.

Wow. Didn't expect so much replies. Thanks guys for all the advice!

I will modify my allocation to 50% btc, 15% eth, and keep only 35% for the altcoins. I agree that keeping a bigger chunk of btc is safer.

I'll have a better look into my list and reassess my selection. I'll probably remove DENT for starters. Looks that new coins are being dumped on the market constantly. Also I'll look more into top 30 coins and check them out. There are a lot of good coins out there but I wouldn't want to have too many in my portfolio.

Thanks again guys, I really appreciate your inputs, hopefully the next bull will be kind to us Cheesy

I've been accumulating btc ever since the huge dump in December, now I'm switching to alt-coins. I strongly believe that alt-coins will experience a mini bull run vs btc in the following months.
I'm thinking to split 20% btc 15% eth and 65% other alt-coins.
Up until now I've accumulated, in the latest 3 weeks, several strong alt-coins but I'm also willing to gamble a bit with lower market-cap projects with strong development and community. That being said, right now I've already bought or I'm looking into:

Kucoin shares
Zilliqa
ZCash
Elastos
Webdollar
Dent

What you guys think? What would you improve?
What projects do come to mind if low market-cap projects with active development and lots of potential is the goal Cheesy?

Any comments would be great! Thanks!

and this month the first exchange should be here too.
Also can you please confirm that the first Exchange almost ready because only 8 days left until the end of July ?
And have you already written a website, code, rented dedicated servers, hired support staff for the first Exchange ?
So you just ignored this question. Ok.


Obviously that will probably not have any exchange. First stable pools, then exchange. It has been said over and over again.

Just join telegram groups. The devs are crazy active, they are trying hard to deliver. Don't trust random guys on the internet with accounts created few days ago specifically to fud webdollar.

This is all smoke and mirrors. They are lying about the theft and they want this to be an excuse for not developing the pools. It's a well orchestrated scheme.

They have no proof that they were hacked. This is just a bunch of incompetent kids.

Yeah.. just a few incompetent kids  Grin

Your example with ETH and ETC is not correct. Because there was a planned hardfork in ETH blockchain. But community decided that they don't want that hardfork and so ETC was born as another coin based on old ETH blockchain. No were stolen wallets in those situation. And also, pay your attention, that community decided, not devs.

And my examples are correct.

Source wiki : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethereum_Classic

"In May 2016, a venture capital fund called The DAO built on Ethereum raised around $168 million, with the intention of investing in projects using smart contracts.[8] In the same month a paper was released detailing security vulnerabilities with The DAO that could allow ether to be stolen.[9] In June, 3.6 million Ether (approximately $50 million USD) was taken from accounts in The DAO and moved to another account without the owners' consent, exploiting one of the vulnerabilities that had been raised in May. Members of The DAO and the Ethereum community debated what actions, if any, should occur to resolve the situation. A vote occurred and in July 2016 it was decided to implement a hard fork in the Ethereum code and to move the Ether taken in the exploit to a new smart contract through which it would be restored to the owners from whom it had been taken.[10]

Ethereum Classic came into existence when some members of the Ethereum community rejected the hard fork on the grounds of "immutability", the principle that the blockchain cannot be changed, and decided to keep using the unforked version of Ethereum.[11]"

So ?
Do you see "community debated", "community rejected the hard fork", "a vote" or you see "hardfork was done in silence and only then devs told to community about it" ?

You're funny
Nothing funny.
You're missing the point. It's an open source project, anybody can add code. It's up to the network(miners) to accept it or not.
Even now, the miners could have just continue to use the old code and different fork, but they chose to update. This is quite decentralized no matter how you twist it.

There is a choice when asked a question and there are options for choosing.
I don't remember a question from you about what we should do. You told us about hack and hardfork only after you made it.
Just read NXT forum, XEM forum, ETH ETC forum.
There were big discussions.

I don't remember after NXT was stolen that NXT devs said: "Hey! Our wallets were stolen yesterday! We made a hardfork. If you want to use NXT - ok. If not - moved to old blockchain." Or something like that.

Then you should check telegram groups. The fork was debated, too much even. Nobody chose to keep the old code. It's not rocket science.

You talk about decentralization and anonymization, but you take the sole decision about the hardfork. It does not work like this.

As for me, I don't care about guy making FUD. But he is right in one thing - hardfork is bad idea.
And as I said before...
When 50 000 000 NXT was stolen nobody made a hardfork. But it was 3355.73 BTC or roughly USD $1,701,015.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/breaking-bter-hacked-50m-nxt-stolen
Also there was a community vote and discussion.

Or $534 million in NEM.
And there are a lot of other examples without hardfork.
You talk about decentralization and anonymization, but you take the sole decision about the hardfork. It does not work like this.

And what is very strange in this situation is that the 51 % attack and the wallet stolen occurred right before the release of the pool. So suddenly and unexpectedly.
Yes, now are stable. We will release this night referral experimental program for preparing the main release.
We're working to finish pools this week for the official pools with referral release and bounty program and this month the first exchange should be here too.
As you can see in next 12-24 hours pool had to be started.
And boooom. Attack and stolen. I do not believe in such coincidences.
Also if you fixed all issues, where is the pool, referral program ?)
Something is not right here happening.

First, you gave a few examples where they chose to accept loses and gave up. I could give you an example involving ETC and ETH where a hard fork was done, ETC is the classic..you can compare market cap and draw conclusions from that.

Next, just because they were delayed and now analyzing data in order to provide it to the authorities will delay them a bit more, doesn't mean that pools and road map in general will not be delivered afterwards.

You are right, something not right has happen, and the responsible for this attack will be held accountable for their actions.

Straight out of telegram chat :d

WebDollar.io - Alexandru Budisteanu:
A few days ago we encountered 2 types of attacks.

1. One out of 40 Genesis wallets was stolen - via a malware we believe now.
2. Botnet attack for increasing to ~ 1 GB/s the Global Difficulty blocking network for 2 hours. This had been done by somebody with a powerful Computation Power. After 60 hours of straight coding, we were able to finally solve all the attacks damages. We did an update on experimental pools and now in the main network too. The update contains two updates 1. Hard fork to "cancel" the effect of ALL transactions sent by the attacker using the Stolen Wallet. 2. Network optimizations for preventing other 50%+1 to change the Network Global Hashrate (difficulty). Right before doing the update, someone which was in our intranet did cut our internet connection and then after we connected directly to the internet our computers was attacked with ddos.

The blockchain was secured and resisted all the above attacks. Everything works perfectly fine now and the script that "cancel" the effect of the transactions was in place during this fork. I want to add the fact that the transactions are still on the Blockchain because even we can not alter the Blockchain, but the new set of rules "cancel" the effect of those transactions and recover the entire sum.

This is bullshit. A 51% attack cannot be used to steal money from a wallet, only the private key owner can sign the transaction. The developers are lying big time.

This text has been captured in the Telegram chat where things have been probably explained in an unclear way. An official statement would probably been redacted better.
Even if the mechanics of what has happened is not totally clear from this text, my personal impression is that the competence and proactivity shown by the team to successfully repair the damages of the attacks are quite obvious, which is proved by the fact that everything's fine now.

The team has shown that they are incompetent and now they are lying to the community.
There is nothing unclear, they said that a 51% attack was used to steal funds and this is a lie.

In the text is never mentioned that the 50%+1 attack was used to steal the wallet.
Having also a 50%+1 happening while wallet has been stolen, they had to fix both things, obviously

I don't think there is, only by link. You can choose by using the link for each :

Pool2:   https://webdollar.ddns.net:9094/pool/0/WebDollar%20Experimental%20Pool/0.02/WEBD$gCGdPQLohdeHQqa+ptoJ@QK2LCvN7IS5JX$/93ba881950314cca579d4f8699a6bc67695ec7292bceadb6f6709b70beba774a/https:$$webdollar.ddns.net/https:$$robitza.ddns.net:9095

The experimental pool seems to be off for some reason, but the dev team is not online, probably sleeping. They will reboot the pool server when they wake up.

Experimental pools are up now

I think there is one coin targeting mass adoption the right way, meaning easy integration as a payment option(imagine adding few code line to your store and there you have it), mining available for anyone, no installs, no downloads, wallets created automatically, easily exported/imported to/from any USB flash or hard disk, possibility to create a new mining pool with just one click, all intended to be as simple and light as possible for the end user.

Above all that, add token options, smart contracts, a optional degree of anonymity, scalable tx/sec, all code public, written in JavaScript from scratch. I think this coin will be quite big in the future, you should give it a look( webdollar ) : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3257668.0

No ICO was held for this coin, is mineable, and launched just 2 months ago, is not even listed on any exchange but already is being traded on telegram channels. This one will be big!
