['What the community thinks about...'']

Hey guys,

I want to start this: 'What the community thinks about...''

The idea is simple: one man - on vote.

Choose how high you grade this coin from 1 to 10.

1 = complete peice of shi*/scam
10 = honest/innovative coin with a lot of potential

+ You may give some motivation in the comments. (for example: a list of positive sides about the coin and a list of negative sides of the coin)

At the end of the day, I read all the comments and create a final grade report of the coin!

Tomorrow a different coin.
The day after tomorrow another different coin.
etc.
etc.

After you voted yourself, you are able to see the results of the poll up till now

Happy Voting!

Dear members.

I want to make well-informed decisions on which Altcoins to buy. For this I'd like to know what altcoins are noticed by big renowned media.

If you got articles that cover an Altcoin please deliver it here in the following format:

--------------

Date (Day/Month/Year)

Name of Coin

Name of the Newssource

Title of Article

optional: short summary what the article is about

Link to the Article

--------------

Please only post articles that write about 1 single coin. Only renowned media like Yahoo, Bloomberg, Reuters, CNN, etc. (Coindesk is ok as well, but not cryptocoinsnews as they are sponsored by coins....)

I hope that all of you will think this is usefull!

Please Do Not React on Article Posts with calling stuff Scam, this topic is only for documentation not discussion! Thank You!

[MY STRANGE FEELING ABOUT THIS]

Hey there,

My question relates to Bitshares. As you all might know, Bitshares is the so-called DAC for Protoshares. In other words its a future altcurrency with amazzzing features, none really knows of yet.

BitsharesPTS (Protoshares) give right to 10% of the Total Bitshares (will be premined)

So Protoshares is a minable altcurrency. You can buy it, you can sell it. When Bitshares are released a total of 20% of all Bitshares will be premined instantly. Half of these will be equally devided among all Protoshares holders.

Bitshares AGS (Angelshares) also give right to the other 10% of the premine

So now invictus developed a new thing. Its called Bitshares AGS. Just like protoshares the AGS give right to 10% of the total amount of Bitshares. Actually the value of bitsharesAGS is about the same as protoshares, as both will have a total of 2 million at the end total supply.

But where do the AGS come from? None knows, well i can make a guess... its a non-minable share that invictus just developed themselve to pre-sell a premine of Bitshares. Bitshares AGS can be bought at this website: http://www1.agsexplorer.com/. This is done by donating Bitcoins or Protoshares to so-called exodus adresses. Please do check it out, because I have the feeling that some people are being scammed here.

MY STRANGE FEELING ABOUT THIS

On this website (http://www1.agsexplorer.com/) you can see the total amount of BitsharesAGS that are sold each day.... well actually thats not secret.... every day 10.000 AGS get sold, 5000 go to BTC-donations and 5000 go to Protoshare donations.

According to the stats every day an average of 50 BTC and 3.6k Protoshares are exchanged for BitsharesAGS. Are you kidding me? The price is rising a bit, but according to these stats like 3600 PTS are taken away out of the market each day, to be exchanged for bitshares AGS. If this is true, the price of PTS should be exploding... Additionally an average of 50 BTC is also exchanged for BitsharesAGS...

So according to Invictus.... the volume of these almost completely unknown BitsharesAGS is just as high, even higher, than most coins traded at BTC-e....

This is just BS. These volumes can not be real. They are pumped and manipulated somehow by invicutes to make sure that people that are actually donating for bitsharesAGS are paid out a lot less than what they should deserve.

Correct me if I am wrong.

[Mutliple Markets]

Alright, I know what you must be thinking. Another exchange and yes that is true. Over the last 4 months I have been active as a Bitcoin-/Altcoin Trader with great Succes. Before I was an amateur trader in the ordinary stockmarket. What I like about Bitcoin, and all the altcoins, is the volatility and the predictability. What I do not like about Bitcoin is the available exchanges. If you are used to ordinary exchanges, dealing real stocks and commodities, you may only conclude one thing about all the existing exchanges dealing Cryptocurrens: they are bad.

They are slow, for realtime information and updates you will have to go to other websites like clarkmoody, Bitcoinwisdom, BitcoinTalk, Coinmarketcap, Coindesk, and many more. I think this is incredibly sad, especially knowing that an exchange like Cryptsy.com is making 335 Bitcoin in transaction fees. each. week. What do they do with their money? Why not put all this information under one roof?

I would like to present to you some first sketches of a new exchange, which I will call COLULU for now. I do not know why, but the name does sound kind of catchy. It is likely though that the name will change in the near future. In the picture below you may see what COLULU is going to look like and I will briefly discuss some features, especially those that distinguish COLULU from other exchanges.




Mutliple Markets
COLULU will offer room for as many coins as the community likes to get on the exchange. Just like ordinary stock exchanges, there will be multiple markets. These markets are determined by volume every two weeks. The twelve highest volume traded coins are put in the BIGcap index. The next 12 in the MEDcap and another twelve in the SMALcap. All other coins are put in the JUNKmarket, which can consist out of as many different coins as exist. Besides there is also a NEWcap market in which newly added coins stay for about two weeks before they get added to one of the four other CAPs

New Coins
New coins are added automatically by the community. No crap with begging on Bitcointalk. Instead everyone can add his coin to the exchange, as long as there is enough demand for it. The costs for adding a coin the exchange is 1 Bitcoin. This is to make sure that not just any joker is adding coins. Consequently, the new coins has to sell for at least 2 - 10 BTC (gotta decide on a requirement) in coins, at a fixed price, to users of the exchange. Users that buy the new coins get so-called rights/options. These options get value if the coin actually hits the exchange, if it does not they get (part of) their money back. No eleborate system of voting is in place, just diehard liquidity, which is necessairy to start a market.

The Devs of the coin get the room to post information about the project. Besides the founders will get additional space to bring news to the users. No more need to browse trough the chaos of bitcointalk Announcement messages, even though that is really a lot of fun.

The coin lised at the exchange
If the coin is listed on the exchange, it gets put in the market called ''NEWcap''. This is where all the new coins start for the first 2 weeks. These first to weeks the coin must prove how much volume it can achieve. On the basis of this volume (calculated in BTC) the coin gets put in any of the four markets. In other words, the users of the COLULU alltogether determine which coins are traded in which caps. The BIGcap is the most prominent one and fastest to access, altough people can easilty switch to other caps, even on the Homescreen (as is shown by the 5 different buttons)

A News Feed
Yes, a news feed. In stead of constantly searching for all newmessages on Coindesk, Cryptocoinnews, bit24.nl and other newswebsites, the exchange will collect all data from these renowned newssources and put them on the main page of the exchange. Just like in any ordinary stockexchange, such a newsfeed is crucial for investors to base their decisions on.

Chatbox
Experience has learned that a chatbox is adored by all users of crypto-exchanges.

Updates about other exchanges
Very prominent will be the price of Bitcoin. My experience has learned me that people are constantly watching other exchanges. Huobi, Stamp, Gox, BTC-e... the price of all these exchanges will be shown on COLULU so investors can directly act on them.

Daily Gainers/Losers
The exchange will clearly show the winners and losers of the day. At the moment everyone is looking at Coinmarketcap.com for this, but COLULU will implement a clear display window with the bigges gainers and losers since Midnight GMT.

Exchange Closes at 24.00GMT opens at 0.00GMT
Just like any ordinary exchange COLULU will close at the end of the trading day and open at the beginning of the next. That means that it does not close really, but what does happen is a reset of all the parameters. From midnight on all the opening prices of all the coins will be set for the rest of the day. Against these prices the movement of stocks is measured, this is to make it a little bit easier to read and understand all the data.

Clear Layout and detailed data
As I hope becomes clear from the screenshot, is that the layout of the exchange is extremely easy to understand and retrieve data fast. Instead of switching between many websites, all important information is brought to you at one exchange. The prices of the coins will be clear, plus additional information such as how many additional coins are created? how many coins are already in existence? what is the current market cap of a particular coin? and may even the VIX of each coin will be calculated for the last 24 hours.

Exploring the options
As I said, these are just the first sketches and ideas of the website. I was planning to put the project up for investments, but before I do this I'd like to hear what you think it. If the plan ain't getting enough interest I will of course not invest in it myself to put it up for investment. My idea is that it would take some really high skilled devs to create one such exchange, but I do have some connections that might come in handy in this sense. These people are skilled, but demand payment as they would have to work around the clock to make everything work asap.

My thinking is that if I can sell 20% of the stocks for somewhere around 200-400BTC. With such an investment it would be no problem to sell an additional 70% to other investors who need convincing. Maybe I am just dreaming with these amounts, I know, but it is just worth a try i thought.

I look forward to hearing your opinions.

Hey people,

I see coinmarketcap.com that this coin called junkcoin has made a 3000% increase in marketvalue... Is this coin reliable? Is it really new or why is it exploding like this?

The numbers seem pretty good comparing the total coins to the price, but what is the reason why the coin was valued this low in the first place?

Kind Regards,

Curious Newbie

Hey, A must for every cryptocurrency trader is https://www.cryptsy.com/ . Her you can trade your LTC, BTC and XPM's for almost every alternative currency!

its really nice if you'd like to be an early adopter of new cryptocurrencies, the period in which the profitpotential is by far the highest!

Hello all,

As you can see I am completely new to this forum. However, I have been looking around a bit, started an account on cryptsy and though maybe to start playing around with some alt currencies.

What is the best wat to keep my investments safe? What would you advise about spreading my investments? Can I mine alt crypto's myself? I have an I7 mobile processor CPU from the second generation and a Mobile GPU from Nvidia (540m)... is there any options for me?

Regards and all the best!
