1  Economy / Economics / Re: 2017 Was Bitcoin's Year. 2018 Will Be ....... on: January 05, 2018, 09:07:12 PM
Maybe in percentage terms we wont see the same as 2017, but it will be  a great year. I think grab some popcorn because this show is only getting started.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / For a new coin, what is the miners first choice of algo? on: December 09, 2017, 11:38:48 PM
Is there any clear choice or is it something like trying to get consensus on "the best food choice".

Requirements being to avoid centralization, and also to make it as fair as possible to miners to get involved. Some friends and I are talking about releasing a Dash clone for a specific community use case.

Is X11 OK, or should we look at others such as X13, Xevan or Neoscrypt?

Are there any tips that from a miners POV we need to be aware of?

Any opinions please?

Looks like a nice project and I expect the devs are committed. Just missed the cut for the first 100 but I PM'ed hopeful I can join the next batch.

Fantastic - MAsternodes are great, sign me up please. How long before we can buy on the exchanges dev? This is based on dash which shot up 25% in the last 24 hours.  Smiley

It is an ALT coin, a fork of the bitcoin chain happening sometime tonight. If you have your bitcoin private keys you will be able to claim BTG on a 1:1 basis after the fact.

I think this is a good idea, a paper or hardware wallet is going to be essential and the knowledge that it is there. I am sure there is billions of $ worth of bitcoin essentiall lost because nobody knows about it.
7  Economy / Economics / Re: WILL BITCOIN BE USED BY ALMOST EVERYONE IN 2022? on: October 12, 2017, 06:46:41 PM
I don't think it has to be bitcoin vs everything else. But I do think that crypto will be used much more widely in 2022, however it will take longer than that for everyone to use it, how much longer I am not sure.
8  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC passes $5,000 USD milestone on: October 12, 2017, 05:56:57 PM
It could be a lot to do with the upcoming Bitcoin Gold Fork and the Additional fork in November. Its also been edging this way for a while and it was inevitable in any case. Keep it coming. Smiley
9  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin hits all-time high on: October 12, 2017, 05:51:22 PM
Anyone who buys in now is buying in at an all time high.   Same was true in 2013, and those people would have made a good return, but it's super risky.   But damn nice to see bitcoin above $5000! I'm ready to do a little dance, except I've pretty much sold everything I had.  Oh well, easy come, easy go.
I would like to have bought 50 bitcoins at each of the last 50 ATH's. In retrospect I would gladly have foregone buying the dips. But hindsight is great. I think we will see many more highs that will make today look small.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Why not just print dollars? on: October 12, 2017, 02:58:33 PM
Anyone who is interested in printing dollars or any other currency (including issueing unlimited quantities of crypto) consider what happened in Zimbabwe, or in post WW2 Germany. In both of these countries you literally would have needed a truckload of money to but a loaf of bread. The money wasn't worth the paper it was printed on.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ⚡ [ANN] ⚡ DeepOnion TOR Integrated ⚡ No ICO 🚀 FREE Airdrops 🚀 13 of 40 Rounds on: October 12, 2017, 02:45:22 PM
I have been watching DeepOnion too, and also following it on deep onion.org. It looks to me like the members who are "In" the airdrop try especially hard to not let anyone else in, in order to not share the spoils of their making.

This might be fine, but I think the shortsighted way they are going about this will have a very negative longer term impact on the project as a whole. Not only will there be more limited distribution but there will be a long tail of people who will snipe and badmouth the project every step of the way.

Just my opinion from reading the posts - which by the way is a pay because the project itself could go places if greed wasn't so obvious.


It's sad to read that this is your impression. Where did you get this feeling of greed being shown from members of the DO community? This thread alone shows so many examples where questions from new members or those who are interested in the airdrop are almost answered instantly and very helpful. The DO forum is also filled with positive vibes. On youtube, there are many many tutorials or videos about faqs.

Hope that what you're describing was just bad luck.
Feel free to ask questions if you have any and join the forum Smiley
Sorry, I am not trying to be a troll here and I do appreciate that there is plenty of scope for abuse - this is purely from reading the posts of what appear to me to be people who are genuinely frustrated with the process and also looking at the acceptance/decline levels. I am all for stamping out abuse but unless you get broad support (which in my mind doesn't come from closed communities and alientating potential fans) you don't get the big adoption you are all ultimately looking for. Don't want to be upsetting anyone but hey - if I am wrong fair enough, but thats how it looks to me, have a read through your own forums - half the people seem to afraid to have a meaningful conversation about your project, and the other half seem to be banned or blacklisted.

Firstly you need meaningful discussions - not excommunicating anyone who isn't drinking copious amounts of coolaid, secondly you need to stop banning people who want to be involved.

Peace.

I don't feel bad now for not getting this airdrop - looks like it was all a pump n dump. Though I cannot figure out what the latest twist is about?

Of course aliens exist, but I don't believe that they are here on earth. The distance to get here is too far.

16  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC passes $5,000 USD milestone on: October 12, 2017, 01:15:30 PM
I think it has to do with the upcoming fork, you will get bitcoin gold and also a possible fork in November.

Do you have a link to the update ?
I would like to see this too please?  Been a hestic couple of days.

This would be pretty cool to have a few hundred, or even a few thousand of these - who knows in a few years time it could be valued like bitcoin is now. Imagine all the millionaires being made in the last day or 2. Lambos all around people.

Except the newbs get to go to the faucet. Well, I guess you have to start somewhere.

Maybe the first BitCoinStake Billionaire will "Stake" me a Lambo  Wink

I have a vivid inner life. My inner life is far stranger than any fiction I have come across.

I assumed everyone is like this - they just dont admit it out loud?
