I would also add to not purchase crypto on a creditcard. I wish I would have learned

I keep seeing the SCO pop up and being pegged against ICO and IEO. Will have to look more into detail on this

I would have a look into NULS imo. Check out all of their recent announcements and partnershipos: https://medium.com/@nuls/nuls-bi-monthly-update-sco-lab-launches-and-initiates-the-sco-11-8644140f1d8c

I wonder if more than just Mastercard is going to form their own crypto team especially since most of those on Libra's advisory board seem likely to do so. Mastercard being one of them.

Satoshi is too wise to hiccup in something he created.

After reading their site it sounds like the staking model is more so for people to buy these coins at a lower price point and use them to 'vote' for promising projects. Kind of like a precursor to ICO

Can BTC be wiped and reconsidered virgin say by companies like Ciphertrace or the government if seized?

Scalability and adoption. If there is a coin that is pushing the envelope forward through interoperability features or even making it easier to use for the general public is a worthy project to me. I really like what NULS has been pushing out with their coding modules and even their recent SCO announcement

Anything my grandma makes which is usually some sort of german food. Spatzle or even a sandwich

I don't know if anyone has recently saw the AML report recently published by Ciphertrace but I found it interesting in seeing the current landscape of money laundering and exactly why we should look into ways to help track. I have a feeling that mixers are going to become illegal especially after the Bestmixer incidence. We're going to see much more governments start to step in

Absolutely! I recently did the Dapper labs one to receive MANA for decentraland. Never thought I would get involved in this but it's super interesting and teaching me a lot

I really like this idea NULS is providing to users that allows people to have a better understanding of the market before launching a product. The new staking service known as The SCO or Staked Coin Output.

If people are interested in a project they can stake their tokens towards it thus being a precursor to carry out a ICO and IEO.

The first requirement is for a NULS staker to hold 2,000 NULS. The staking nodes first validate blocks and then the NULS consensus nodes produce the blocks. The staker delegates their node into a consensus node for an SCO project thus earning the alternative token instead of NULS for the reward.

Beam. They're making smart moves for compliance purposes. Will be interesting to see privacy coins future

This was an interesting point found by Ciphertrace regarding BTC and dark use:

“The results show that privacy coins are barely used in dark markets and at dark vendor sites (e.g. only 4% of instances involve Monero (XMR). Instead, Bitcoin remains the coin of the realm in this shady world, with BTC used in 76% of dark market cases and ETC used in only 7% of instances.”

DEX.Top is a decentralized cryptocurrency trading platform based on smart contracts. The platform adopts the ROC (Replayed On Chain) trading mechanism that leverages off and on chain ledgers.

Since they just launched their Public Chain 50 program I was excited to see their services offering storage and trading esp for NULS. What other projects on DEX.Top are you most excited for?

With the release of NULS recent ChainBox allowing developers to build blockchains in under 10-minutes the team is hosting an Online Hackathon with over $500,000 in NULS prizes!

What is Chainbox? Imagine if you could build a blockchain within 10-minutes by watching modules  and no direct blockchain experience needed.

Module languages include, but are not limited to, C++, Golang, JAVA, JS, Python, etc.

I hope more devs give this one a go. Learn more at:

https://nuls.io/hackathon/

My answer would be malta but it would be interesting to watch Japan unfold

I would be interested to know which platforms are creating similar infrastructure. I have only ever heard of NULS creating a highly developed platform and allowing other businesses to follow along with modules to build a similar blockchain off of theirs

He's creating FUD which is something he's great at. My guess is he has no clue it's complexity

Niceeee. Interested to see if anyone is participating in their current online Hackathon?
