I'd like to salute you @Tarek for all that you do. You help spread awareness and you are always in a positive spirit, I love it. I'm hopeful now that we are closing in on the end of the airdrop to tell you the truth, I know fora fact that the btx team are working tirelessly to achieve everything that they want to achieve and I trust them, Great group of guys that are really good at what they are doing  . Seconded. And keeping the positive spirit is the most important thing we can do as a community, especially considering the current state of the market. Well... There is a fine line between FUD and criticism. The same could be said for positivity and over exuberance. Don't forget to distinguish which is which.  I don't believe that what you are doing in this thread should be considered as FUD, I can appreciate your honest view of things as I believe both sides of a story has to be heard before anyone makes up their mind. Haha well my criticisms these days have not been directed at BTX in specific but rather the entire setup of crypto in general. I am working on something huge that if it works will save this space and then we can call check to the banks and governments. I am only writing about it here and on telegram because I can hardly contain my excitement.  Hmm.. Now you've got me intrigued, please do share more when the time has come.. I always like new and different ideas when it comes to crypto . Ill share the simple concept rather than the mechanism or algorithm I will use. My idea was that the major issue, ironically of course, with crypto is that it is doomed to be deflationary in nature. Deflation is just as bad as inflation so my idea was to stabilize the supply in relation to demand for the currency. More demand will mean more inflation to offset that demand. Less demand will mean deflation to offset the decrease in demand. All this would be done via algorithm and of course there would be no supply cap. If it were to stabilize things within a 10% range then we would have the first true decentralized currency instead of decentralized assets. Remember that there is no incentive to spend something that will only ever go up in price in the future given ample demand of course. Only the outliers of society will use such a thing out of beliefs rather than incentives. The masses will not adopt something that is unstable in valuation. Bitcoin and every crypto thereafter is currently unable to ever stabilize price. I suppose my algorithm would dissuade speculation to a great degree and it could potential be used as a reserve currency or the ultimate trading pair. It is basically USDT on steroids without being tied to a fiat currency or a third party. But I have a lot of work, research, and testing to see if it could actually work. But this would essentially be us calling check to governments and banks. Their main negative talking point about crypto is that it is unstable so if we remove those conditions then their criticisms start to look more petty. They will either bare the fangs and show everyone their true colors or they will capitulate and give us our economic freedom that we so much desire. Right now they can lie and claim they are protecting us from volatility. Anyways, I am not sure if this is a manifesto or a simple explanation but that's what I am working on. I guess the primary problem is, that for "investors" no real value gets currently created. Having a crypto currency, like we have now quite a bunch, which only hopefully get some value through hodling, will not solve the problem. With e.g. POS some kind of dividend gets created (= short value), but this only works with a value of the crypto currency behind. It also opens the discussion above in terms of deflation and inflation and its balance. In other words, as long, no incentive and value creation gets generated by using the coins, it will be very, very hard for any crypto currency. Nobody wants to pay his pizza for one or two bitcores in the moment, as most dream about the story to be repeated like for bitcoin. This will not happen, if no real use case gets created. And for currencies, independend, whether tied to fiat money or not, they only can create their value, when they perform their "task", which is to manage transactions. Currently only miners gets rewarded (if balance is right of diffculty and costs) but not minting investors. This needs to be solved in my POV. And in generally I believe, we have enough crypto currencies. Block chain technology can and will change our world. And tokens can help in engaging in the market. But I would actually like to see more ideas, how it can change our world through disruptive models to simplify processes and engagements. I mostly agree with everything you have stated. I am far more sold on the idea of smart contracts and tokens than anything we currently have in this space actually ever fulfilling the role of a global currency. Not sure the goal should be a global currency. It also most probably will not happen, for different reasons. But some cryptos may perform the task of "money" transactions seriously. But first we also will need to find a way, that people are willing to initiate those transactions broadly. And yes, smart contracts are opening a lot more in terms of potential use cases beside of "money" transactions. Again, I hope I can read more about such future use cases in this forum. |

Interesting to see, even after such scam attack, that compared to any other alt coins the price of Verge seems not to fall deeper than any other. How does this come. I would have expected Verge price drop significantly.

answer to Q18 is solving this make sure u delete peers.dat too https://diamond-info.github.io/#q18once we after block 130000 this issues will be solved the new 3.0.1.0 wallets will then stop to talk with old wallets please everyone be aware that at latest on april 6th u MUST update ur wallet to the latest one 3.0.1.0 all old wallets will at block 130000 lose connection to mainnet [/quote] Thanks a lot especially to you cryptonit for this reminder to update the diamond wallet. You and your collegues are really great in your communication. I just did the update and it went so easy. Me as a non technical gifted person I always get wet hands, when I need to do such wallet updates. For others reading this, here the newest wallet on github: https://github.com/DMDcoin/Diamond/releases |

When will be a new challenge beeing set-up? It was real fun joining, even I did not win anything. But it was amazing to see, how often AIEVE won against the Human qestimates, incl. mine.  |

Thanks for sharing. Why does it not state the max coin supply on this side? Actually this is an important information for people who want to investigate and invest into a coin. |

I don't quite frank get your point. I am speaking about multiple situations, we are analysing at this hour how this is going to affect the network or what is needed to be done. As soon as we will find the best solution we will post it here.
Well my point is simple. If I like your XYZ coin/token, I don't like to be forcibly needing to buy another coin/token, namely ether, just to pay for gas to be able to send your XYZ coin from my address to another address. If I like your coin/token, I want to buy just your coin, not your coin and some ether. Removing ether from the equation means starting a completely new blockchain, not merely being a contract on another blockchain: now a brand new Solidity coded smart contract blockchain that operates with PoSP instead of PoW - now there's some innovation! I know it's much easier to just make a new Ethereum contract and create a new token (takes one hour, apparently) - but there is no innovation in there. Also there are many other possibilities if we are going to create a new blockchain with some interesting changes and users should not have worries about weight and be able to gain interest easily. We are still anaylising all these details Looking forward to your investigations. I actually did not know, that POS token stopped. I was just wondering, as I have not heard anything. I hope your method of swap will be easy. Unfortunately a lot of coins request update of wallets, swaps etc, which is not a pleasant journey through the crypto world. |

I want to collect existing use cases for crypto currencies and also for bitcoin. Means, looking for cases where are crypto currencies and/or also Bitcoin already in active use and accepted.
I think that there are already lists here and there.. however, maybe they are not greatly maintained... https://www.pcgarage.ro is an online store for computers, parts and electronics. They accept Bitcoin through Netopia as payment processor https://www.pcgarage.ro/info/plata/prin-bitcoin/I've bought from them a couple of times already with Bitcoin. Another online store is https://www.cauciucuridirect.ro where I've been buying tires (one time) for my car. They use BitPay as payment processor for Bitcoin. Thanks for sharing. And yes there a lot of shops already accepting bitcoin or others. I am actually looking for different use cases, then just the use of a crypto currency as cash. Looking for things, where a protocol actually was used in the solution itself. As an example Crypto Kitties. The functionality of Ethereums smart contract is basis for this game and initiated ative transactions in the network. |

Just want to provide a quick update. Mining went smoothly. But I witnessed one interesting one. I have 5 miners running, but actually one does stop without any obvious reason. Normally if it stops, it all of them. Any explanation? Can you please also check my enchelon level, would like to continue mining. Thanks a lot!

Waves token is considered to be way to easy to make thereby allowing increasing number of unnecessary ir useless token. Ethereum token are more technical and open. Ethereum is better compare to waves token.
I agree, it is much too easy to create useless tokens with the waves platform. But actually much more interesting is the integrated DEX. It works very smoothly and easy too. And it identifies the fake coins. |

I’ve been trying to check if bitcoin payment is already implemented but I can’t. I see no payment option on the site. It’s like a travel guide but it leads you to external sites, like the Opera, or Museums but I can’t see a place where they charge for their services.
If I am not completely mistaken, this is a B2B platform, so not meant beeing a online shop, where you have any payment options. Lieferando.de is another example, which is a B2C platform, where you can also see, bitcoin as payment option directly on the webside. |

One great example is e.g. Lieferando.de https://www.lieferando.de/. They actively accepting bitcoin as payment method. Please also indicate, from where you have the information and also provide some supporting links. Thanks a lot! |

Hello Bitcoiners,
here a great article to share about Bitcoins broader adoption. These are great news into the right direction for Bitcoin acceptance growth.
"The German National Tourism Board has announced that it accepts cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin for its services. The organization promotes German travel destinations with offices in 32 countries around the world. GNTB also intends to implement blockchain technologies in its finances. “We want to be a global innovation driver in the tourism industry,” its chairperson recently stated.

Accepting Bitcoin to Drive Innovation
Services offered by the German National Tourism Board (GNTB) can now be paid in cryptocurrency. The organization which promotes Germany as a travel destination accepts bitcoin payments from March this year, according to a press release. It also announced “medium-term” plans to test blockchain technologies in the processing of its international financial transactions."

Banks don't like bitcoin because it is a threat to their business. They are seeing it as competition to their business because the more people who would use cryptocurrency and transfer their wealth to it, the lesser customer the banks would have which would mean less profit. Even if there are no applicable rules to cryptocurrency, some banks already restrict some account holders to discouraged others to be involved with it.
In my opinion banks actually do love cryptocurrencies. But I believe, they are already working on their own ones, which they can completely control. Now with new products also based on bitcoin futures as an example they already started to earn also money on cryptos. |

Bitcore ist ein weiteres Beispiel. Du hast automatisch welche bekommen, wenn Du Bitcoins hattest im November in einer wallet, deren Private keys Du hälst. Zusätzlich kommen derzeit noch wöchentliche airdrops dazu bis vorr. Ende April. Mehr auf deren Webpage: https://bitcore.cc/faq/ |

Great News! Peculium is featured in Forbes France Magazine!  More information: https://redd.it/87hs02Regards, Nestade These are indeed great news! I just went on the reddit page, hoping to be able to read the article, but I could not find anything beside the news itself that it is in Forbes. Do you have any further links you can share? Thanks a lot! |

I tried with Chrome, and it works very smoothly. I do not use the phone. Simply as my battery is not working properly anymore and it does not hold long without recharging. As you were assuming correctly. The number of miners depends on the echelon level. |

Das wird spannend mit den kommenden airdrops! Vielen Dank dafür. Mal eine Frage bzgl. Lightening und Bitcore. Ich habe verstanden das Bitcore durch Segwit "Lightening" fähig ist. Wird daran derzeit gearbeitet? Und was sind zukünftige die Vorteile?
