Ah ok great, thanks for that clarification. So whole new blockchain/project, which allows a free-coin swap from signatum, primarily due to some developers previous work in signatum albeit more at a community level.

Also your infographic comparing Straks to other coins is useful.

Nope! From what I can gather, it's an extension (fork?) of sorts from the old signatum, but with the 'original' lot of developers. In fact, they'll be offering a signatum swap a bit later on to pull some of the holders from that chain over to them. From memory, think that was later this month but I guess they'll be updates on what's happening soon.

At this stage, if the only way to mine is through the wallet, can you really set up a pool to mine too?

Or will it mainly be solo mining, and people quickly add pools once the mining goes live to the public and the difficulty increases. I'm guessing in the early days increase will jump around quite a lot!

Gtx 1060's (particularly 6gb for longevity for mining ethereum) are great. You can make them just sip on the electricity, and they do equihash really well.

I wouldn't mix AMD and NVidia on the one rig. I've heard from others that drivers can be a real pain.

If electricity costs aren't a concern, AMD is probably the more popular choice for mining ethereum.

A few people/threads have been preaching about IOTA for a while. It has increased rapidly in the last few weeks so not sure it has much more to go in the short term.

In the mid to longer term (mid 2018 onwards) it will probably stay strong. Thinking of jumping in if it dips a touch more.

Hi all. I've just started posting on steemit, and decided to make an article about Monaco!

I've gone through what you should consider in holding MCO, how we got here, and whether you should buy more MCO if you have about 50, and are thinking of making the plunge to 500 MCO to get the Metal Card.

Would love to know your thoughts either through here or on the blog itself I really enjoyed writing it and getting my thoughts down.

Great project and I'm happy to contribute I've read through the announcement thread and it looks great, also very active developers answering everyones questions!

Minor point on the telegram bounty, I've joined the telegram group but the form asks for a sign in on my google/gmail account. I don't really use gmail in these type of forums. I'd be happy to provide a different email I use more regularly as the contact point if that is the main point of providing an email - just not sure why it specifically needs to be a google account email!

Mining time soon! I always feel like there is a peak when things first come on board, then slowly whittle down over the next week before stabilising. I'd imagine the difficulty could be pretty high to start with.

Will download wallet later today and check it out.

Nice call on IOTA! It has more than doubled since your thread started less than a month ago!

I should keep tabs on next time you make a prediction, you've got a good track record so far

I was mining zencash before its big jump, but missed the boat on IOTA. Got to keep your finger on the pulse in this market!

Do you have a step by step guide to easily trade sigt for straks?

So for example, is it an automated process you can do from the old sigt wallet, or is there something else that needs to be done.

I have some sigt in a wallet from months and months ago that hasn't been touched for a long time. If there is an easy way to move to Straks, I'd be keen to take out some of the steps.

Awesome! Yup bounty program looks great. I'll be pulling together what I hope is a useful article over the next week or so. Will apply through the normal bounty spreadsheet when it is ready. More than happy to support a project that has potential

Interesting. Are you concerned that once the software is 'out there' people will share it with friends or other people without having purchased your tokens?

Also, do you imagine the cost in tokens will be low enough so that the benefits in terms of improved performance will outweigh the cost?

That's right! So many ERC20 tokens out there it is hard to keep track of them all in one tidy location, alongside any other coins. Combining that with an easy to use platform, with access to research on your/different tokens based on respected users, and coin lion could be great. In the long run it will all depend on the community being involved and contributing to the platform but I think you're onto a good thing here! Very polished presentation on your website as well.

So if I understand this correctly, this is an ico for software that improves mining performance for GPUs (by up to 14-16 per cent according to developers)? And the 'payment' for access to these improved mining tools is through the ico token.

I have an entire 1 NEO I got at 20 usd, plugging away getting Gas

It is always easier to see in hindsight what would have been a great investment. Always hard to predict the next big thing.

But to think even after it hit over $20 it could go all the way to above $40 so quickly is crazy gains.

 

I think the Binance competition around making lots and lots of trades (buys and sells) helped pump the price a bit. Either way, Enjin is great and I'm looking forward to the next twelve months. Also very happy I got in below the ICO before the Binance competition started!

Just confirming, is the payout for the signature campaign per post, or per week? ie. a newbie would get 0.05 altcom coin per post.

If it is per post, that is quite a bounty! When does the campaign end?

Back in September, it was this much per week based on a coin price of a few bucks from memory. But there were requirements that you kept 90 per cent of all your coins from the airdrop or else you couldn't participate in future airdrops. Since then, the price has dropped significantly to about 60 cents and they've changed the airdrop rules now.

So yes, you got $500-$1000 per week in coins at the mid september price of 3 dollars something, but you would have to 'cash out' from future airdrops to convert it to regular ole dollar dollars.

If you correctly predicted the peak on deep onion, you could have probably made quite a few grand from cashing out of your future airdrops, but I'm guessing most people kept holding due to the 'cash out' rule and missed the peak.

It will only succeed if the value provided by the card means more people will want to buy 50-500 MCO tokens, even if the price increases to, say, $10usd per token. 1-1.5 per cent cash back might not be enough in some countries to get that kind of uptake. There is a risk that the initial rush from the 'crypto' people will not lead to more mainstream or wide spread adoption. Hopefully further marketing will make a difference but there is no guarantees!

I think a revised version of the asset contract, whenever that is announced, will help with uptake, as it helps given more inherent value (even if it is only marginal) to MCO.

It has been sitting in 'beta' for a while. When will steemit feel comfortable enough to go from beta to final! What functionality or design does steem consider necessary to trigger the switch.

Obviously there will always be ongoing updates to the website, but this is different to being in beta.
