If a billion dollar company like Binance can't keep thieves out of their wallets, it raises alot of questions about what anyone else can do.

I'd say we need solid DEX, cold storage and hardware wallets, and proper insurance for companies that run exchanges or generally have crypto stored online. Security needs to be number one priority.

They were good advertisers up until someone digged posts from 5 years ago to report them. Now im afraid a year from now when the ban is gone, no one is going to hire them because of that instead of giving them a fair chance.

This whole mentality around 'we were good advertisers' is just wrong.

No care about adding value to the forum, no care about actually engaging on blockchain or any topic - just 'we were good advertisers'. As if bitcointalk should be a spam platform.

If you have a signature, that's a bonus. Your ability to 'advertise' is not the primary purpose of this forum.

The fact that you think being able to advertise actually counts as an argument speaks volumes of your attitude to this forum, and probably your respect and knowledge for cryptocurrency more broadly.

Wpp is trying to become a 'stablecoin' pegged to the price of emissions for CO2 I believe (like over a dollar something like that).

I just don't see it happening right now. We need a lot more news regarding development. With a reported $60 million raised they should be able to provide a lot more updates.

This is great. Would be good to get this in a timeline or chart.

Essentially a fancy graphic. I'm more visual kind of person. I don't have the software to do it myself, but this is great OP.

So I did not understand, is it a coin with its own blockchain or is it an erc20 token? Is there a wallet? What kind of algorithm?

What you on about. Just read the first page. Its has its own blockchain and you mine with your cpu/desktop.

People who own websites can also get their visitors to mine through the website instead of being bombarded with ads. Its all on the first page.

This is a bad idea. Would become like twitter where you can buy 'followers' from India that are just bots or random people who are only on the platform to try and sell their accounts as followers.

My guess is that you already know that, as that system would suit you since you've got lots of 'friends' (or alt accounts), but you are throwing the idea out there to try and get some traction.

I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of newbie posters/alt accounts come on and start saying that this is such an amazing wonderful idea  Undecided
87  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Keeping the heat out, summer time mining... on: May 18, 2019, 05:27:33 AM
Serious miners are in locations that don't require additional costs for cooling.  You maybe should quit mining or only do it in the colder months for the free heat.

Haha that's ridiculous. If we're supporting decentralization of currency through blockchain, then that concept can equally apply to mining that cryptocurrency.

What you are suggesting is that only big centralized operations with cheap electricity and who are in cool locations should mine. That thinking is the opposite of what most cryptocurrencies are about.
88  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC will go a bit down, ALTS a lot down, then BTC again a lot up on: May 18, 2019, 05:06:12 AM
Most altcoins are going so fast in the last 2 days while btc is still hovering at the 8.2k. I hope btc will get enough energy to breach the 8.2k barrier and rise higher next week.

Bitcoin will maintain dominance and altcoins will get the crumbs. Like was said before, if bitcoin goes up ten percent then altcoins will go up like 5 percent.

Still better than holding cash but bitcoin still rocks it.
89  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are IEO's bad? on: May 17, 2019, 10:31:25 PM

I think IEO is good and more reliable than ICO. In IEO there will be fewer scams. But I don’t like that in IEO only exchanges and investors and start-ups can earn, and there’s no place for bounty hunters.

And why is that bad. The only reason for bounties is to help spread the word about a project. If a project already gets advertising through an exchange, then there is potentially no need for bounty.

It should be seen as a positive that IEOs are likely better for investors since they are actually spending money on the project.
90  Economy / Speculation / Re: This is getting a bit out of hand.... on: May 17, 2019, 11:03:22 AM
We need a pull back and then, on?

I think we'll see a bigger pull back around 10K and then rally up to 20  Tongue

I think we've just had a main pullback. Will bounce back to 8.5k, then pull back to 6.5k or thereabouts, then push to 12k in august.

Obviously that's a total guess but that's what I'm predicting. Also think alts will improve but not uniformly. Only alts with working product or something innovative will ride some of the wave.
91  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Believe it or not! XRP Will Go Past $4 on: May 17, 2019, 03:55:06 AM
I dont believe it can go past $ 4, i think for long term investment target price is about 0.8-0.9 $ for ripple, even $2 is impossible this year,

Its borderline pump and dump when people make outlandish predictions for a x10 increase on an already established coin.

Particularly when it is based on 'secret' news. I mean, it could go up sure but others shouldn't play into peoples Fomo.
92  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Keeping the heat out, summer time mining... on: May 17, 2019, 03:11:21 AM
As I've always been told in mining - it is more important to take the heat off your rigs, rather than trying to put cool air on.

Great airflow is so important in summer.

94  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: mining low difficulty coins on: May 12, 2019, 03:30:50 AM
coins with low difficulty and yet profitable will usually be new ones, sometimes we may not really be able to tell how well they could be in the future. But some miners have been enjoying Veil through POW and POS mining. 

New coins don't necessarily have a low difficult, sometimes there is a lot of hype or build up around a particular project, so there are a lot of miners from day one.

I know a lot of people are talking about veil here, but I remember when that launched, it had thousands of miners straight away - there was no slow build up in hashrate.
95  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Stop Windows 10 Update on: May 11, 2019, 11:23:13 AM
It is probably a lot more secure to just allow it to update.

Most updates have a security patch, so may as well let it happen.
96  Economy / Economics / Re: Was Satoshi someone who lost everything in 2008 Market Crash? on: May 11, 2019, 10:40:51 AM
The timelines all line up so its possible. Makes you think maybe satoshi was not only an expert in IT, but maybe involved in Finance.

Blockchain can be used to record anything, like with namecoin and ethereum. So the fact that he/she chose currency (through bitcoin) as the use case could be significant.
97  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will transaction fees get in the way of the bull run? on: May 11, 2019, 05:36:15 AM
There are enough ways to get around excessive transaction (and exchange) fees that it probably won't make much of a difference at the macro level.

For example instead of withdrawing from an exchange in bitcoin, it is usually cheaper to convert to ethereum or a stable coin and then withdrawal. So if fees matter to you, then you can find ways to trade around it.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

So yeah his prediction could be right, or it could be wrong. We don't have much of a track record to go off. Even if the prediction is right, if you guess enough times then you'll eventually accidentally get one right.
99  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to recover when you are down 90% of your portfolio? on: May 11, 2019, 02:30:23 AM
Diversify your holdings so you aren't relying on a single coin to 'moon'.

You could also consider using the services of a 'pro' trading service. For example cryptocom has a crypto invest feature that takes your initial deposit of BTC or ETH and puts it into other crypto depending on your risk apetite.

Otherwise just start small and try to accumulate, and avoid taking too many big risks.
100  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do We Really Want a More Decentralized Version of Facebook? on: May 10, 2019, 12:53:16 PM
I feel like if we actually needed a more decentralized version of facebook, the project Mithril would have been a success by now (rather than a Binance chain merge flatliner) or Steemit would have expanded much further before cutting the majority of its staff.

Maybe in the future a decentralized facebook will be successful, but right now everyone seems content enough with existing social media services, so competitors don't get much opportunity even if there service offer is a little better. The service offer needs to be much much better for people to shift their online presence to a brand new platform.
