Just because Ripple is not decentralised does not mean it has no future. It has been around a long time and currently is #3 in terms of market capital at around $28 Billion
There is a big future ahead for Ripple but can it be held back for being centralised? Can that really be held against it when huge profits and gains are to be made?

When Ethereum was released with its contracts and tokens, it revolutionised cryptos.
What sort of new additions would you like to see in the next big coin that benefit the community and bring forward crypto innovation?
|
|
|
Now that ICOs are so tainted with suspicion and scams what alternatives are out there for investors?
Do you think ICOs are still as innovative and as profitable as they were a couple of years ago?
Keeping the current market in mind is it worth taking risks investing via ICOs?

A few folk from here have a coin in mind and have decided to try a fork. We are not doing this from the kindness of our hearts, we have all contributed funds towards the project with a view to making profit and money for ourselves and hopefully for other investors. I already had some communication with devs to get quotes but the key structure is as follows: Dev to receive 0.15 Bitcoin in advance when hired Dev to receive 0.85 Bitcoin when coin is relaunched and open to public Dev to receive negotiated % of the relaunched coin after 6 months loyalty periodThe money for the dev and the associated costs are in place. The money for adding on to 2 very small exchanges is in place. Hope to add to 2 other exchanges (one fairly big) at time of launch. Full terms and conditions to be given later. Right now we are just looking for an experienced dev to manage the fork as how we want it done. No PMs until specifically requested please. If you are interested in working with us kindly post here stating who you are what experience you have. Most important of all please state why you think we should select you. Posting here means others can see the messages and if anybody has intentions of scamming then hopefully other people will point them out. Once the initial contact is made we will write via PM. Thanks

For tokens related to incentives or ICOs which platform would you say is more suitable?
With ETH it is tokens, simple. With WAVES it is tokens along with multi-crypto payments, visa/mastercard payments and exchange trading platform.
Which in your view is better for both investors and businesses, specifically regarding trade and purchases?

How many wallets can you list that add extra amounts on the transaction fee (in order to make profit) when sending Bitcoin?

Will South Korean exchanges close or will try to circumvent the law by moving offshore to stay trading and open?
I think China closed its crypto exchanges so where did all their customers go?
|
|
|
Kraken and Coinbase use EURO currency not GBP when having coins exchanged and sent to a UK bank account. Which has the best conversion rates/fees and is the easiest exchange to use?
Which is the quickest when dealing with AML/KYC paperwork?
|
|
|
I used Changelly.com the other day for the first time and it was excellent. It has a better exchange rates than Shapeshift.io and I did not like the Shapeshift reviews
Maybe the days of exchanges are numbered now that instant exchange is available rather than buy/sell walls on exchanges
Do you think exchanges might become irrelavant in the coming years? The only advantage they seem to have is that investors can send their crypto to their addresses instead of having multiple wallets on their own desktop. With Changelly and Shapeshift growing they are causing problems for exchanges and provide greater anonymity too with no AML/KYC required

So after the fork happened and Bitcoin Cash was created, as of today on CoinMarketCap it shows:
Bitcoin capital $118,038,167,261 price $6,962.42 circulating 16,953,612 volume last 24 hrs $4,671,340,000
Bitcoin Cash capital $11,306,077,844 price $663.06 circulating 17,051,288 volume last 24 hrs $286,801,000
On every count Bitcoin beats Bitcoin Cash so the question arises, what was the point of creating Bitcoin Cash? Apart from making very rich bitcoin holding people even more wealthier by creating Bitcoin Cash and adding to their portfolio it seems that there was no need for it. I hear about transactions fees and groups of devs so on being better at Bitcoin Cash but in all honestly what was the point?
Did all those advocating the demise of Bitcoin actually exchange all their BTC for BCH? I doubt it.
To me it seems Bitcoin was always going to come out on top of that battle so why did those whales pushing for the fork really do it and create Bitcoin Cash?

Does anybody have an idea of the size of hard drive required to run a Rippled Server?
I am testing some software where customers pay checkout using XRP so want to run Ripple on a server and use that server to confirm payments have been made and to generate new unique addresses at checkout.
Any tips?
|
|
|
Does anyone know how to try to use XRP as a method of payment at a checkout?
Ideally there would be a way to use generated receiving addresses added to the database and then show up unique addresses when checking out.

I have never used Ethereum before but will use Ubuntu or AWS AMI to install it and sync the blockchain.
After that I want to generate addresses and populate those addresses in a MySQL database which will be linked to an ecommerce site for customers to use at checkout.
I have successfully achieved this process with Bitcoin and now want to do it with Ethereum.
I do not want anything to do with ETH contracts, I just want a new addresses to be displayed when the customer reaches checkout.
Any advice will be appreciated.

I am running Electrum on a Amazon Web Service server. I took the MPK from the desktop Electrum wallet and used it to create the Electrum wallet on the AWS server.
I tested it thoroughly and find it fantastic but there is one problem. At the moment my desktop Electrum wallet shows only the BTC balance for addresses generated from it. The AWS Electrum wallet shows the correct BTC balance which includes addresses generated from the desktop and server clients.
What is the best manner to ensure the desktop client always shows the ALL correct addresses and balances that were generated from itself and the server using "addrequest --force"
Can anyone help point me in the right direction please

I ran electrum daemon on Ubuntu to test the code but now want to run it on Amazon AMI. I have not found a "sudo yum" way to install electrum with all its python dependencies.
I have been searching online but not had any success for over 2 hours. Does anyone have a link they could share please

I am testing an ecommerce store that allows bitcoins as a form of payment. I successfully coded python and added it to a server running bitcoind. Whenever a customer gets to the checkout and chooses to pay using bitcoin a new address along with grand total on a qrcode is generated. The bitcoin daemon is pre-populating the database with 10 addresses. When the number falls below 3 the daemon generates and pre-populates the database to top up to 10 addresses again. Everything works but before exploring it further with a view to taking it live I would like to know about electrum. I heard of it but never used it.
If I run electrum on a server effectively can it do the same thing the bitcoind is doing? If I modify the python scripts can electrum generate bitcoin addresses and populate the database whenever the top is needed? If it can I prefer using electrum over bitcoind because the bitcoin blockchain is massive and takes several days to sync on an AWS instance. Electrum I understand is instant.
Please can someone with electrum experience give some tips. Thank you.

No PMs please. Initial approaches must be made here.
I want to relaunch a dead coin similar to LYNX and COLX.
I will pay for the coin to be listed on an exchange. There will be a coinswap automated by the exchange. All marketing, admin, telegram, support, marketing will be handled by myself and other team members. i just need a Dev to handle the fork park and assist on related technical side of things. Part coins and part BTC payment will be made to the right person.
