Thanks for the post, OP. I'll definitely check it out and of course do my own research before investing anything. Following this thread.

Hi OP,
Thanks for posting this thread, but let me answer your concern. I am one of the members who received eBTC as free airdrop and I am also there on their telegram channel. I also saw some of your posts in telegram, so let me answer some of it:
1. Yes, the existing contract is flawed and the max supply is not capped. However this has been acknowledged and the dev is swapping eBTC to a new contract (unfortunately existing contract can't be edited, that's how contracts work). Everyone who hold eBTC now will have 1:1 eBTC on the new contract and the existing contract will become worthless. If you had read the telegram channel properly (or this forum for that matter), this would have been clear to you.
2. I am not familiar with the 'female discrimination' that happened to you, so I am not the right person to comment on that.
3. Whitepaper/roadmap etc are pending. You should appreciate that eBTC was launched just few days ago and these things were planned to be launched after the airdrop. (Heck, the dev didn't even promised to release any features apart from eBTC being just a ERC20 token - plain and simple, so I don't know what you were expecting). However resolving the maximum supply issue by swapping to new contract is the highest priority for the dev team and they'll be able to work on anything else only after resolving the contract. Things take time.
Still I'm not going to argue with you on the matter. If you still feel it's a scam, suit yourself however posting such non-sensible posts only shows your desperation and you come out as a FUDster.

Behold the beholders of eBTC. The community is big and excited for this token. Goodluck. May the $ be with you   You got that spelling wrong! HODL! |

Is it better to work through Metamask or directly through their in-built wallet?
Security vs. time/lag, pros and cons? Are there any differences in transaction fees?
Experiences?
I do not use Metamask, though I'm thinking I will start to use it. I recently made a transaction that took 2 days to confirm because the default gas price without it is only 4 Gwei. You can set the gas price with Metamask, which should improve the speed of transactions. You don't need to use metamask to control the gas price. The default gas is 8 and you can change it if you like. I am accessing my account using private key (without metamask) and I'm still able to change the gas price.  Unless you use Metamask, it doesn't matter what you set the gas price. I've changed the gas price, but all my transactions have defaulted to 4 Gwei and take forever. I am not sure about metamask there so i won't comment on it, but the default gas is 8 Gwei since last few days. https://twitter.com/etherdelta/status/914895861985013762 |

If you ask nicely on Reddit, someone will tip you some FUCKs right away. |

eth network is bloated as hell these days, to top the fact that etherdelta lacks basic trading facilities. hope a real exchange on the eth blockchain will launch soon
The word "bloated" is so misused here ,in fact people misuse it always. The correct term would be overloaded. Bloated refers to the code, sort of meaning innefficiency, which ETH is actually. It is badly coded so it's slower compared to other concepts like EOS. But the block size is problematic too. There was a statistic showing that ED transactions are actually filling up the ETH blocks with an about 50% ratio. That is impressive, ED requires a lot of volume then. Is it absolutely necessary for a decentralised exchange to execute all trades through the blockchain? Or is it something how ED has preferred to do it? I'm not a developer so I wouldn't know, I'm just curious. There aren't too many other ways to do it. NVO had an ICO a while ago to create a decentralized exchange that uses the Maid Safe network and multisignature transactions. The lightning network and atomic swaps will probably help in decentralization as well. I'm no expert either, but using the blockchain seems to be the best option right now. They could add a microwallet service, but that would introduce centralization and custodianship, which further complicates the matters even legally.
It is my opinion that all transactions should be on the blockchain, that is why I am not a big fan of Segwit and all this LN hype, it's basically a centralized middlemen.
ETH can damn well raise it's block size or block capacity whatever it's called, it hardforked in the past too, so what is the big deal, they are not purists anyway.
Thank you guys for your replies, it makes sense. I guess a bloated blockchain is the price we pay for having a decentralised exchange at this point. But it's better than having centralised exchanges that we can't trust with big money. You never know when they'll be GOXed (or Cryptsy-ed | Polo-ed for that matter) |

Look at IOP at bittrex price felt from 2000000 sats to 10000 sats started to increase steadily after new dev takeover and continues to go up now it is 16000 sats in order to catch the old levels x100 is possible.
So please put it at top of your list immediately.
Should have listened to this guy. -img- Ok if you missed IOP try INFX i opened new topic here read my posts about it. it is my new x10 coin in 19 days. Thank you; I have put a small amount in it, let's see how far it goes from here. The daily chart looks very promising I can't believe INFX went up so quickly! it got pumped just like you said! I made 30% profit in a matter of hours! You were right about both coins. How can you make such predictions? Thanks, mate! |

@abi18
Looks like a lot of PMs you need to manage for the airdrop.
For next rounds of airdrops, I would like to suggest a Google spreadsheet where people will fill out their info with address. Thay way it becomes easier for you. Sure, the info will be publicly visible but that's OK I guess.

Any furthet plans on the coin? This looks good ! The Reddit tip bot released just yesterday and you're worried about further plans? We should first utilise the full potential of the tip bot before asking for more. I'm sure the devs are constantly working and there are future plans. |

If you just want to hold them for longer period, I would suggest creating a paper wallet and store it in safe place. No need to use a software wallet for this purpose. Check this out, it supports several currencies: https://walletgenerator.net/?currency=Litecoin |

My main recommendation is never involve your friends when it comes to finances. Why were you trying to convince him? How much does he understand?
If it goes down it's your fault. If it goes up it's your fault for not making him buy more. If he gets hacked then it's your fault for involving him.
Let him do more of his own reading and make his own decision. I'd be discouraging people from getting involved myself and certainly not leading them to it.
I understand. I have done exactly what you suggested. I convinced him to learn more about crypto and he made his own decision to invest. We're also in mutual understanding that he must only invest what he is ready to lose. So when he puts 2000 USD into it, he is very well prepared to lose it all (if that ever happens, lol). I am nowhere to be blamed. I am just walking him through the process. Are you sure you are just trying to walk him through the process? It sounds very much like you are telling him what coins to buy and what amounts/percentages. Instead just let him make up his own mind. I will offer him all the suggestions I receive and he is free to make his choices either based on those recommendations or his own. We're pretty clear on this. I guess I should edit the OP, looks like everyone is thinking I am making choices for my friend. Also, thanks for many useful advices here. He still has a month before he arranges fiat, so I will let him read more about various coins during this time so that he is able to make an informed decisions. Of course I will be there to answer any technical questions he may have. |

Well, it would be best to diversify your portfolio for at least 5 or more altcoins.
Good suggestion. BTC and ETH are already locked. I would invite suggestions for the other three. |

I can post the ANN if you wish. I have nothing to lose  |

^^ See my post above. I didn't convince him to invest. Thanks for advising on preference for BTC.
