There are a few 'gaming' type token platforms at the moment (game credits and enjin, to name a couple).

What would you say are the main differences between those tokens already out there, and what you're doing with Abyss? How will you differentiate Abyss from other gaming tokens out there that could be in competition for community attention, and have had a head start in terms of being out there for a while longer.

Hi Ally, when you say 'marketing airdrops', what do you mean exactly? Is this an airdrop provided to people who deposit on the new exchanges or something similar? Couldn't see anything on your website about it.

If you have links to this information, or a roadmap for similar actvities, that would be fantastic.

Also what are the details and timeline around the 'smart contract transfer' - again, happy to get a link to your website or wherever this info lives.

Don't know about this. ICO and GPU mining? And Scrypt coin at that, which could be susceptible to asics. Could very quickly see your contribution get diluted.

Also, website is riddled with typos, and limited info on the team and specific milestones. All these things suggest you would be better off investing elsewhere. If I'm wrong, I'll wear it, but I won't be contributing.

Hi Jack, I've linked to this article a few pages back, but I think it will answer some of you questions - here.

Also, getting info straight from the source, so from the slack channel, is probably a good idea in the long run in case existing articles from the community are missing something, or are out of date.

Interesting that the 690 per cent bonus means for 1 ether, you'll get 9,999 angel tokens - just not quite enough to get the 10,000 needed to get dividends

As for the dividend lockdown from the whitepaper, it mentions you need to send a 'transaction' to the smart contract address. So is the approach that you send all your angel tokens (say 10,000) from your ether address to the smart contract address, then they are provided back a short time later with the dividend?

Do you have a strong sense of what you'll invest in already?

Does anyone have a sense as to why ethereum is doing so well right now? I mean, there hasn't been any announcements that would warrant a sudden increase to ATH at this point.

I really like ethereum, but just unsure of the catalyst for the recent increase.

I learned about this out of nowhere when I saw the announcement on Binance.

As a POS version of Bitcoin, can you stake through Binance? I know it is uncommon, but they do something similar with NEO and providing monthly allocations of GAS.

While we can debate the merits of the sigt/straks swap 4:1, and how this relates to system integrity etc - at very least you could say it is a good sign that the price of sigt is going up, as it probably means people 'believe' in straks as a project, so are buying up sigt as a way to get onto straks?

If there are any budding economists out there that could explain if that logic makes works, happy to hear it.

You don't have to swap Sigt to Straks.... Anyway I'm sure the developers will have a reasonable time limit on the swap, so the price of sigt won't impact Straks after a set date. I think from that point onwards Straks can be priced based on its merits, and not clouded by whatever is happening with Sigt.

I'm happy with the swap. I mean, you don't have to swap so why should we be upset with the short term choice to do so? If you like Sigt, just keep it.

Mining Straks will find a balance point in difficulty as time goes, people will jump in and out based on profitability, as happens with all coins.

Cool. Yup been across zencash for a while. It could help increase the price, but I think there has been some awareness that secure nodes will be hitting the main net soon, so could already be factored into the price.

I have noticed that it is hitting high 20's usd. Regardless of where it is today it is a great product with an engaged team I'm thinking it will keep steadily increasing and gaining interest

Yeah given it was in eth, the conversion for the average price for 1 MCO was $2.88 according to Monaco's twitter - it would've depended on when you bought if converting to a USD price.

Also under Monaco's faq - under the heading 'are black cards still available', they say they have a very limited quantity still available ('limited quantity' is nice and ambiguous, are we talking 10 cards or 200?)

My guess is that once cards are actually rolling out in Asia and Europe more broadly, the remaining will be snapped up.

This could depend on what else you get with locking up 50,000 MCO for the Black card, compared to the cheaper 500 MCO Metal (even if it is only a six month lock up and you get them back). However since there is a limit of 999, I don't think Monaco will (or should) focus on increasing value for the 50,000 Black card, and should focus on the value proposition between the 50 MCO Ruby, and the 500 MCO Metal (which is part of what I go through in the blog).

Excellent! Thank you very much that was my first blog post on steemit! Glad it was of use. Views have jumped up to over one hundred so hopefully people are getting something out of it

TrezarCoin right up there on whattomine! Didn't know about it until I saw it on that website - think it only popped up over the last day or so. Should help with giving some attention to TZC.

Does anyone have insight into why some coins take a while to come up on whattomine? As in, does the coin need to have a certain marketcap or something to be listed on the website?

Looking back at this thread to see what came true, this call was spot on

It could probably go another 2x in my opinion. But hey I'm biased and hope it does go up for my own pockets sake!

Mining on a laptop would get so hot, and (probably) fry it at some stage! If you're mainly interested in learning about mining and how to set it up before getting a full rig, then go for it, but turn it off after a couple minutes!

I am interested in a similar question though - if you have a mining rig, which runs on a cheap pentium 4 type arrangement, could you (profitably) mine ether on the gpu's and monero on the cpu? Or would the electricity costs and strain on the low range cpu outweigh the 10 cents extra or whatever it is you'll get from mining.

Ah thankyou just saw that, posted way too quickly

Mining solo could be like a mini lottery, seems to be enough interest that a pool will be the way to go! Suprnova has worked pretty well for me in the past. Will also simplify set up.

I realise that the only way to mine at this stage is through the wallet, but does anyone have a pool (legitimately) set up, or are we all competing for some solo mining coins

I'm at work right now so hopefully will be home in time to set everything up and start mining before it starts!

Yes Monaco do have an agreement with Visa. Announcement was end October, further detail on their twitter and website.

If you're interested I've gone through some of the backstory here, but in answer to your question, they are producing cards, with Singapore the first location for rollout.

I'm interested in how long this campaign goes for? Doesn't have an end date posted anywhere as far as I can see!

If it will still be open, I'll be interested in joining at a later date

I take your point - and that's why I included the line that 'Ive heard from others' primarily from people in this forum and reddit, since it isn't actually based on my own mining experience

But yes, if in truth it is very straightforward, then yeah the myth should be busted and OP should go for a mix it he gets a good deal!
