USD is the biggest currency used for illegal stuff. Online and offline. By a huge margin. Should we ban the USD? I'd argue that for governmental agencies it's easier to track bitcoin transaction than cash.

I'd suggest you go with a more secure option, like btc or eth. Neo would be a little riskier, but still not too much. Investing in sia was a...bad decision, to say the least. Don't get me wrong, I like them. At best I would dualmine sia with eth. Buying it? Not anytime soon

Pretty sure this a second account from the op. Anyways, for those thinking about investing in BitConnect and the likes, think about how you're hurting the credibility of the system. We all want to be part of something great and make money along the way. This will hurt the potential of the network overall. Please, those legit people out there, do not invest in these schemes if you want blockchain to thrive.

I don't think it really matters, as far as I know Binance is based in HK.

Anyways, I'm really digging this exchange, even though I'm not a fan of centralized ones anymore. Great support, great interface, always adding coins based on popular demand...It's really hard not to like these guys. It's the only centralized exchange I'll ever use until we get something better.

The obvious choices would be ltc and eth (imo). Neo is also up there. But then there are other less known choices. One of my favorite newcomers is ZenCash. I invested quite a bit, looking to buy more to do some staking. Also SysCoin. Was on the ropes about vertcoin a few days ago and the fact that it jumped like crazy before I actually had the chance to buy depressed me a bit. Will be buying it soon though.

I wouldn't say outright scams, but at the very least pyramid schemes. I've seen a lot of people that swear by genesis mining, only to find out that they live out of the referral bonuses. Maybe it's not that bad if you consider the fact that there's a pretty high chance that your investment is returned due to the potentially exponential growth bitcoin will benefit from, but then again, why wouldn't you just buy bitcoin? I think for a lot of people it's about getting into something new and exciting and being...unable to just sit back and wait.

It's been at 10 mil for a while now.
Anyways, I'm not as pessimistic as the other people here. I got a D3 in the september batch. Made a decent amount up till now, close to 1000$. I'm seeing the next couple months rather bleak, I don't think the D3 will make more than 300-350$/month. But at some point, dash will pick itself up and head on over to 600$. Probably because all coins will double next year. So I think in the long run, we're more than ok. ROI in less than 300 days like some people here are claiming.

Basically this. For example, before the last "crash" (china), doge was riding a high wave, sitting at 200 mil $ marketcap. It now sits at half that, even though most alts recovered, at the very least partially. Think hard about buying dips because they might not go up again, at least for a while.

If restarting the machine doesn't fix it, try hard reset (the little button near the ethernet port that you have to push with a pin). If that doesn't work either, backup your current firmware and flash a newer version, 1.0.0.7. If you still haven't fixed it by now it means you gotta power it off, take out the hashboard and have it sent to China. Or have someone fix it for you, but I dunno about that.

The machine itself and the maintenance are quite costly. Add the fact that usage is rather low, those operating these machines need to cover their costs somehow and make their investment profitable. That being said, I'm not ok with 15-20% fee. That's outrageous. The only thing that can greatly lower fees is adoption on a larger scale.

There have been plenty of good ICOs, if you'd done your due diligence. Walton, Kyber, VeChain, ICON are just a few of 'em. I know which ICOs to go for, I never send these unheard of devs and scam artists any money. DYOR and you won't fail. Unless you get really unlucky on a long game, Tezos being the perfect example.

I hate all this talk about "x killer", whichever coin it might be. Even more so in the case of Ethereum. As of now, eth is unkillable with all its partnerships and strong team, bar some catastrophe or some incredibly innovative product that completely eclipses eth. I'm not seeing any catastrophes looming on the horizon, and - while QTUM si definitely a solid project that I am personally very fond of, it will never kill eth. The crypto world is rather small now, but it won't be like that forever. It will be big enough for all these projects to coexist. QTUM needs to identify its niche. Gunning for eth won't do it any good.

And this is based on what? The mods on r/cryptocurrency that made a bot reply to every iota thread with bullshit so as to create fud? Give us proof. Give us big names that have analyzed IOTA and have concluded that it's a "bad protocol". If not, shush it.

//just for the record, I don't hold any IOTA. I just hate teenagers causing coins to be dumped just so they could buy the dips.

This bullshit scam will collapse. And it's gonna collapse while most of you morons are at the bottom. You know, the pyramid. Keep going, it will be so satisfying to see you dingleberries cry everywhere. I'm not even gonna dignify an answer to the eth remark.

Wait a sec...is this legit? I knew they had a facility in California, but I didn't know about Ukraine. The website is looking good, but I'm worried it might be a fraud...Has anyone from Europe actually sent boards here? Because I'd much rather send it to the country next to mine than have it go to China for 2 months.

Hmm...you haven't explained how the coin itself is a scam. Maybe those people with the sumoatm took pictures of some random devs to make themselves seem more legit. I dunno, I'm just saying. The coin itself doesn't seem like a classic pnd scam...Can someone else confirm or infirm op's story?

Do you think they are the only ones willing to work on such a revolutionary tech? Anyways, as long as we're talking about it, I'd like to see lukedashjr gone. Literal religious extremists should have nothing to do with bitcoin. Or any crypto for that matter.

La efortul care trebuie depus...as zice sa rupi tot ce prinzi
Nu am facut bounty-uri, dar o sa incerc sa prind rank de full member in cateva zile sa pot incerca si cu astea. Din cate am inteles eu sunt destul de profitabile, am vazut un tip care intreba daca ar trebui sa-si dea demisia si sa faca d-astea...probabil castigi decent oricum avand in vedere cat e de facil totul...

De meritat se merita...Am luat 1.1 eth saptamana asta cu Ecash parca. Am mai prins unu ieri cu vreo 14$...si mai am o gramada care nu sunt listate inca. Sunt curios de eltcoin, mi-au dat vreo 10000. Daca e la fel de decent ca ecash, e bine.

//vorbesc de airdropuri aici.

One small piece of advice: if you have to ask the question "which coin to mine"...you probably shouldn't be mining unless you wanna learn through some potentially costly mistakes. Study the whole deal, assess your risk/reward ratio...basically study as much as you can otherwise you're gonna throw yourself into something due to fomo (the fear of missing out) and you'll very likely get burned.
