21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / VERGE is playing their investors like a piano on: January 01, 2018, 07:59:21 AM
Making a lambo on every new tweet each time there is a dip...  
22  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / I have $10,000 and free electricity on: December 29, 2017, 09:33:30 AM
I have $10,000 available to purchase mining equipment and unlimited free electricity provided through a company lease.

I am fairly computer literate but not an expert by any means. Don't build my own computers or write programs etc. What is the best way for me to go and what coin(s) should I look into mining?
23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Should I spent $10,000 on XVG tomorrow? on: December 28, 2017, 02:42:40 AM
I have a $10,000 wire hitting coinbase tomorrow. If XVG is still under 900 sat should I make the buy and set a stop loss for 600 sat?  What would you do?

I sort of think XVG holders are getting fucked but the promise is it will be released before the end of the year and XVG Whale seems pretty convincing in his videos. So definitely a calculated gamble.... lots of risk but a huge upside.

Sort of like calling a hand of Texas Holdem with a Jack 5 when you're the button and everyone else has made the call... never know the investment could be worth the risk.
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / So is HitBTC a scam? They seem to be having some huge problems on: December 25, 2017, 08:47:35 AM
Anyone know what is going on with HitBTC.com?

I bought a bunch of Bytecoin there that I wanted to transfer to my wallet. Made a 1 coin transfer that went through in seconds. Tried to transfer the remaining balance (670,000 coins) and the transaction is still pending with HitBTC.  Seemed pretty strange so I searched there forums and nothing but pages and pages and pages of people not getting their withdrawls with no response from HitBTC.

Am I screwed?
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Question/Comments for those with many coins who store in wallets on: December 25, 2017, 02:46:02 AM
So I've got about 30+ coins and currently in the process of moving them off exchanges and storing them in wallets.

WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS. The Ledger Nano only supports a few which leaves a bunch of desktop clients that take DAYS to sync the block chain... if ever!  What happens if I leave the coins in cold storage, want to sell them, fire up the computer and the wallet takes 24 hours to resync??? One might miss their sell opportunity.

Is there a better way to handle this?

26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Is Specrecoin worth buying? on: December 24, 2017, 11:49:30 AM
Keep hearing a lot of talk about it on these forums but most of it is way too detailed for the average poster so I imagine its someone from the company itself or another person that is heavily invested.  If its one of those guys with Spectre in their signature I pretty much disregard anything they say.

That being said... is this coin worth it?
27  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Would you trust COINBASE or USDT TETHER to store 10k USD? on: December 23, 2017, 02:15:16 AM
Going forward I want to have $10,000 USD available at all times to take advantage of significant crashes...like we've been seeing over the past two days.

The question is which is more secure...

storing $10,000 USD on coinbase or buying $10,000 USD worth of USDT Tethers and moving them to a wallet?  I've heard a lot of things about Tethers being made out of then air.

28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Is Bittrex broken? on: December 23, 2017, 01:22:27 AM
Order book is empty, can't make trades........ on anything. Been like this for several hours.
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / NANA Coin release on: December 22, 2017, 02:35:23 AM
Does anybody know what time NANA coin will be available for trading tomorrow? I can't find the post. I think it was going on hitbtc exchange sometime tomorrow evening.
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Why is EMC2 tanking so much? on: December 21, 2017, 09:55:33 AM
EMC2 was doing well until the whole bitcoin cash diabolical on Coinbase... virtually the whole market tanked... everything seems to have recovered except EMC2 is still on a significant download trend. I just bought a bunch more  Smiley but hopefully there isn't some kind of negative news I just haven't heard about yet.

31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Would you draw on a line of credit to buy altcoins? on: December 21, 2017, 01:01:21 AM
I have a line of credit through my bank, 250k. The interest is 6%, settled monthly.  I've been considering drawing 100k to purchase more altcoins.  Bad idea or potentially genius?

Currently have 25k in the market with a 31k profit, timeline about 45 days. I put another 25k in yesterday.


And what coins would you buy?
32  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Question about BUY stop limit orders on GDAX on: December 20, 2017, 11:26:30 AM
I understand how the GDAX stop limit sell portion works but I am a little confused on the buy side of stop limit.

Example:

BTC Bitcoin is at $15,000

If I want to buy bitcoin at $14,000 or less, what is the correct way to set up the order?

Do I enter $14,000 at in the STOP PRICE, which would enter the order into the books...

and then set the LIMIT price to $1.00?  If it is crashing I'd rather get in as low as possible.  Or do Stop BUY orders not need a limit price at all?


Thanks for your help!  Smiley
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Do you travel with your Ledger Nano? on: December 19, 2017, 08:17:29 AM
I am in the coin game about all day long but my work requires me to to be in three different towns each week, all several hundred miles apart. Also have to go out of state for a couple weeks next month.

Having trouble deciding if I should bring the Nano on the airplane or leave at home. Would hate to miss a trade but would hate to lose the damn thing.
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / KIN Price Prediction? on: December 19, 2017, 08:06:55 AM
Seems like a pretty neat token that has some use. KIK is a very popular app... all those cam girls charging KIN coins to basement dwelling neckbeards.   Any predictions for 2018?
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Can Bytecoin ever reach $0.10? on: December 18, 2017, 09:29:25 AM
Do you think Bytecoin BCN will ever reach $0.10? How long?
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Anyone use livecoin.net exchange???? on: December 18, 2017, 09:20:04 AM
Just signed up for this exchange and trying to transfer in some LTC which has been "pending" for an hour....   Decided to enable 2FA on my account and then they sent me an email that said for security reasons all withdrawls will be delayed for 2 days because of my account security change. WTF....
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / $25k wired into Coinbase. Critique my altcoin diversification! on: December 18, 2017, 07:49:02 AM
Wired 25k into Coinbase to supplement my existing portfolio. Wires are delayed apparently so it'll be another 2 or 3 days before the funds are available.

Here is what I've broken out thus far, current prices taken from Coinmarket cap... they are estimates and will obviously be a bit different.

Coin      Cost      Shares      Extended Cost
                  
OMG      $16.14      100      $1,614.00
NEO      $68.43      20      $1,368.60
DASH   $1,088.78      1      $1,088.78
NEM      $0.73      2500      $1,831.23
NXT      $1.03      1250      $1,287.50
XRP      $0.73      6000      $4,407.53
XLM      $0.27      12000   $3,246.25
ADA      $0.49      5000      $2,464.63
BCH      $1,849.42      1      $1,849.42
STRAT   $12.89      100      $1,289.00
VERGE   $0.06      50000   $2,800.65
WAVES   $14.21      125      $1,776.25

Grand total: $25,023.84


Some of these coins I already hold and have gotten into significantly lower than current price. Some I don't have. Waives I really wanted to get into at $8.00 but was sick and I took a bunch of NyQuil and fell asleep. When I woke up it was at $11 so I haven't bought any.  The main goal is returns obviously, but I really want to make sure I'm holding a decent amount of whatever gets listed on Coinbase next.

I also own IOTA, LTC, BTC, ETH, RDN, SC, VTC, EMC2, TRX, Bytecoin and a couple others.

Please critique my selections!!!

38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Holy ****! There has to be a more reliable and less confusing wallet than Ledger on: December 16, 2017, 07:47:12 AM
Just got a new Ledger Nano S and it is one frustrating piece of crap. I have about 15 different Alt coins and Ledger will support about 10 of them in conjunction with MyEtherWallet.

Please tell me there is something better on the market. I don't care if I have to buy a new computer for cold storage or whatever but this Ledger Nano is ridiculous.

It constantly freezes requiring computer restarts, wont connect, wont sync, wont load wallets. Takes forever. ONLY works with Google Chrome and Chrome Apps.  Will only hold 4 coin programs (advertises 5 but mine runs out of space and wont install) so you have to constantly install and uninstall coin apps on the device. Ripple wallet takes 3 minutes to open assuming all the planets have aligned.

Trying to store altcoins on this in conjunction with MyEtherWallet.... holy *F#%*(#U!ing confusing and definitely does not instill any confidence that my coins are secure and RELIABLY accessible.

If there is nothing better out there I might just say screw it and leave the alt coins on the exchanges and only store larger quantities of BTC LTC and ETH on this thing. If this is the best and most intuitive piece of hardware the crypto word can come up with than some other company will soon make a killing when they can design a better user friendly wallet that doesn't require a masters in computer science to operate.
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / How do I claim my Super Bitcion? on: December 15, 2017, 11:45:02 PM
I have .46 BTC that was sitting on Coinbase during the fork. Is it possible to claim my SBTC?
40  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Why is Litecoin sky rocketing? on: December 12, 2017, 04:25:03 AM
Any insight as to why Litecoin has sky rocketed???
