Glad to be part of this project!

I sent some dgb from poloniex to my wallet since May 12, 2018, just check https://digiexplorer.info to discover that the transaction show as unconfirmd.

Pls, what could be the issue, thanks

I will keep this on my radar, expecting the bounty to start.

The project looks interesting from what I have read so far... the advisory team is really solid. Though, having just discover it this morning having have the time to get and read the whitepaper, but will get on the list so I can have access to the whitepaper. I also like that you can be able to discuss and get response from the core team. Great impression!

Thanks, I believe that's indeed the way to go, at least to be on a safer side.

Firstly, thanks for this thread, apart from the opportunity to earn merit. I believe this kind of thread will help get many newbies informed and also serve as a friendly reminder to experienced members. I will not waste time on definition because I believe the previous posters combined have done justice to that.

However, I think there's another important danger to using third party wallets that have not been mentioned yet, which is that; using third party wallets puts you and your coins at the mercy of the developer(s), especially if it's not an open source project with a large active and well motivated community.

I didn't realise how crucial this can be until the recent issue that happened where a developer threatened to split the Zcash Network if he wasn't paid in return for his development efforts.

According to CoinDesk; D. Jane Mercer, the sole maintainer of the Windows Zcash wallet software, said he was going to cease development of the clients and release a zcash competitor "rebranded as another coin," if he didn't get further funding for his work. And, I think the community had to contribute for him, to sort of bribe him before the issue was resolved. Full story at https://www.coindesk.com/zcash-pays-off-angry-developer-avoid-blockchain-split/

In this case D. Jane Mercer single-handedly made a decision which put the status of clients coins, those who have trusted their wallets to his wallet software at a big risk, because in such cases, the situation could have gone the other way which might have got messy, and I'm sure the developer knew his power lies in his uses base, so he probably might have found a way to hold his use base hostage to achieve his aim (just my personal opinion though).

So, to add to all the the previous posters have said, if you must use a third party wallet always make sure that "in addition to other things" it's an open source project, possibly maintained by a community of developers that well motivated.

 I have recent been considering using my wallet on my mobile phone because of mobility and portability. Thanks for the friendly reminder, this is indeed a crucial issue to be mindful of.

Self control in a very important trait, also it's very important to have an aim, develop a strategy and stick to what's working for you.

Thanks for that, just tried it, let see how it goes.

Just to add, if you mean day trading, it requires a lot of knowledge and skill, if you are a newbie you'll need to read and learn a lot, so you can develop the knowledge to DYOR, else you end up losing a larger % of you investment.

Hmm I see, which probably answers the reason why there's no sticky post in that line.

I get the point,  now.

I think on of the best advise is that you make the forum search button you best friend, and learn to use it frequently


And that a bit of tolerance, will also be needed because you'll be relating with a whole lot of people with different, opinion, background  and experience from yours.

As a newbie myself, I honestly don't envy the troubles you Sr. Members have to go through in awarding well deserved merits.
I'm beginning to feel like many newbies know how to search to get answers to the questions they start threads on, however they just go ahead and open thread all the same to increase their activities. For example; you can almost guess right that there's going to be a new thread every few days in this board asking about how to get merits, in-spite of the enormous guides already available. Personally, I have responded to a few that I begin to think it might be no use as the effort could be deploy to other use.

If I already feel like this as a newbie myself, I can somewhat relate with how difficult it must be to award merits, something that many newbie don't realise but keep complaining that the merit system is a barrier.

Btw, I've been thinking; considering the amount of new threads started in this board every few days on how to get merits, there should at least be a sticky post with guides on how to earn merits, it could just aggregate some useful guides already contributed by forum members, personally I find TMAN's guides helpful.

I can't but I agree with this.

As a newbie myself and for the short time I've been active here, I've followed bit of newbie posts and I can say a number of them are uninteresting even to me as a newbie.

I keep wondering, why is the recurrent complain about the ranking system, when in actual fact you don't even need any merit to get to a Jr. member; which allows you to participate in bounties, if that's your primary aim. But no! Newbies rather wants to become a Sr. Members overnight just for higher stakes. We have to understand that anything that'll last long successfully, don't come by accident. It takes time, effort, dedication and thorough planning.

For me, I'd say there are a whole lot of Sr. Members here who take notice of newbies posts and are willing to support newbies that they recognize to be showing potentials.

Well, at least that's been my own experience.

That is a subjective question that depends majorly on you; how fast you can learn, how much time you can spare, how diligent do you think you can be.
Maybe a better question would have been "what does it take for you to be able to participate in bounties", when you understand what it takes, you determine how long it will take you.

Btw, bounties is the one with higher requirements, airdrops are daily easy if you have a Facebook account with 500 friends above and/or a twitter account with 500 followers and above,

Taken off Google search, so DYOR

This very true...and a crucial thing to watch out for, I have seen it played about almost every telegram group and channels I have joined, most especially as I usually copied the ID and search it in the telegram clients' search box.

Btw, scammers most often played on the ignorance and greed of people. If you are going to do anything, please take some time and effort to educate yourself deeper about it, also watch your greed; if it look too good to be true it's probably is.

As newbies, we should understand that many of the early adopters on this forum didn't join because of bounties and many of them still have the passion for which they join the forum at heart, so it will be unfair to allow the purpose of the forum be defeated because of raking higher only just to participate in bounties.

So, we have to change our mindset on the merit system, from seeing it as a total barrier to seeing it as a challenge to improve ourselves, because when newbies develop deeper knowledge, skills and understanding of bitcoins and crypto; raking higher will be like child play; I believe if you look on the longterm and patiently do the hardwork first, the money will follow.

Ranking higher might not only be good for bounties, there were days when there were no bounties and a day might come when bounties will be no more, just like there was a time when there were no merits, a day might come when something else "maybe stricter" might replace the merits system, will we transfer our complaints to the new system then, or just learn to adapt?

Leave your greed outside your email inbox/account; if you see an email/offer that sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Always know the true status of your account and investment, don't let a scammer be the one to tell you the status of your account, when you see an email/message saying your account has been deactivated, compromised or what have you with a click here link". Just delete it, most of the time they are phising. If you must visit the site, open your browser and manually enter the site url or open it from your bookmark (you need to make it an habit to bookmark the correct url of the site where you have account or investment)

And very importantly, make Google your friend, when you see a suspected email/offer run it by Google and see what Google have to say about it
