Oh wow, this is picking up a lot of steam.

Just the same as any other token.

Now on hitbtc as well, I see!

You sound like a shill holding some bags, trying to create some "hype" so that you can dump on those (newbies) who caught the the bait 

Let's be honest, $20 is simply not happening, I've barely seen people talk about this coin, meaning that there's barely any excitement or hype on the market about 0XBTC, nobody's paying attention to it. If it gets to $20 at the end of the month, it'll be because of a pump and dump scheme. Anyone looking to make some quick profits from a shitcoin should probably look into this coin, it's getting pumped and dumped big time.

It's been growing from a fraction of a cent for months now, pretty slowly. If there isn't hype or excitement, how can it be a pump and dump? Price doubled a few days ago and has remained stable at that new point, this is all quite new.

Interesting day for this coin.

Damn it, I've had my eye on this for so long. So it's only just come to idex, it seems? A few days ago?

Is it still worth getting in?

Realistic limits to the market cap of this? Surely it can't get into the 100s of millions, right?

^ thanks, OK. Should happen soon, then.

What a cool project!

How much volume is required to get on CMC properly?

bump

Own up - who here was it who bought 1500 eth yesterday?

Insane accumulation taking place on PCL, volume has dropped again now which is usually a sign of something about to take off.

I've been using their trading bot and I literally can not believe how successful and accurate it is. I'm not sure it's real, but really it seems to work incredibly well.

PCL is looking good on IDEX, as well - volume is high and huge buys are going through. Yesterday there were 1500 eth of market buys, with only 200 eth of market sells, haha. Someone is accumulating big time.

But how the hell do people even choose coins? Either everything pumps, or nothing does. Oh dear, what a muddle.

Since March, most alts I've been in have gone 2-10x but I am up only 10% or so because I wasn't patient, fell for people telling me to sell early, etc. Buy and hold was the strategy for this spring. For example, I was in WAN and ONT early, AMB as well, many others.

My goal is to 3x my funds, that's all I need want to do. It seems so easy - some small coins go 3x every day.

What would you recommend for achieving this goal, this year?


I am utterly overwhelmed by the choice and the amount of shilling and promotion that goes on, and I have a lot of FOMO and anxiety so end up spreading myself thinly across many coins, when I could already have achieved my goal in a couple of months had I just bought and held, walked away from the computer.


What do you guys sincerely recommend? Safe altcoins that should 3x against btc before the end of the year?

Altcoins giveth and altcoins taketh away.

Personally, I wish I had never touched an altcoin in my life.

Hi, guys. I wondered if anyone else here had experienced these troubles from being in the markets. Let me give you some background:

I bought btc and ltc in 2013 and lost 20% or so messing around in alts around the Mt Gox crash. I swore not to play with alts again, put my coins in a wallet and forgot about them until Autumn 2017.

At this point, I added more fiat, things were going well. I was still 90% bitcoin, but started to visit forums and chats and I was slowly encouraged towards altcoins, hearing about the crazy gains. By December I was 0% bitcoin and out on a limb with many alts. I was day-trading and holding (for a few days!) and making big profits. When the crash came in January, I had no idea what to do and lost 80-90% of my sats.

The bear market hit me hard, I didn't - at the time - realise how it was all manipulated and coordinated it was. I fell for it completely and sold a lot of valuable coins very low, I dumped my ICOs at a loss, made desperate, scrappy trades - and ended up losing almost all of a 250k portfolio.

I came to have daily anxiety attacks lasting hours, and I couldn't function properly in daily life. The distress was severe and I "attempted" suicide more than once, and it was constantly on my mind. I thought there was no hope of recovery - but of course there definitely was. If I had just done a few good ICOs in that time, for instance!

When alts started rallying in March, I noticed them early but the stress and hurry to recovery my losses, plus some bad advice from the internet, led me to trading way too much and I barely made 10% gains in April, despite every coin I had held (for a while) going 2-5x in price. If I had just held them, I'd have done very well!

This has compounded and the loss of my original ATH plus the new stress and panic over desperately trying to make it back has led to what I think can be called a real gambling addiction; after years of hodling I now can't leave a coin alone for more than a day. I read forums and am constantly FOMOing into a dozen different shitcoins just in case they moon and I miss it. In doing so, I sell off chunks of my most reliable coins, and then miss out even more.

The anxiety attacks continue daily and I have reluctantly started medication.


Has anyone else been so badly affected by the bear, and then also by the bull? Do you have any advice? I want to be able to go back to peaceful hodling with minimal intervention, and hopefully check again at the end of the year for a nice surprise. But my mental health has been absolutely wrecked and I am struggling a great deal.

Anyone else?

many thanks,

Hi - my update is also stuck and none of the suggestions above seem to work. The ledger just displays "updating" while the manager thinks for a moment and then says, "unable to install firmware"

I have checked the device manager for anything needs new drivers. Please advise? I can't find any other solutions, it seems bricked.

I found this reddit post about it. I'm still not fully convinced but I did buy a small amount on ED just now. Might buy more if it looks bullish soon.


-------------

3 year investor here.

I decided to do my due diligence on CPChain. Like many people I found CPChain after word spreading that they partnered with Vechain. Seemed like a no brainer to buy even a little bit as Vechain has shown it is a force in the future of the cryptocurrency/blockchain space.

After learning of CPC I have been doing some real research and gathering all I can find, here is my analysis:

Partnerships

QTUM, Metaverse, HPB and a few others are also partners as well as Vechain.. This is a big deal because naturally each of these communities will see and hear about the project as time goes on. The details of the partnership are still not clear but I imagine they will involve interoperability between each of their blockchains.

The Team Sigh It's always hard researching Chinese cryptocurrencies. They really do not care about marketing which makes searching information about said crypto much more difficult. At this point in time CPC is brand new, a baby in the crypto game. No one has wrote any articles about them yet; however, I was able to find some of Dr Chengnian Long's (CPC's CEO)publications from his time at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, China. His profile on CPChain.io 's website says he is part of the China Automation Association which makes sense as the link above states a photoless Chengnian Long is in of the Department of Automation at SJTU. His profile on researchgate.net has over 51 research items usually with about 4-5 contributing memebers including himself.

This alone made me feel very confident in CPChain, as their goal is to become the 4.0 blockchain of IoT. IoT in general is all about automation, here we have 2 doctors (wasn't able to find information on the 2nd, Dr Bin Zhao) and a strong team from what I see on their website. Their overall goal gives me IOTA vibes, but with much stronger partnership from the start. A stronger team? Only time will tell.

MASTERNODES

This was what made me decide, yes. I used to mine many years ago but once I discovered masternodes I was a huge fan. And then as I'm nearing the end of reading CPC's white paper I discover this:

The CPChain Foundation will charge CPC from developers and service providers of various smart contracts and pays for the gas required for operation of smart contracts to ensure the operation of all business smart contracts. The majority of CPC revenue received will be rewarded to node providers, while the remaining part is used for funding follow-up day-to-day operations, commercial promotion, and technology development.

Run a node, earn CPC. I was an early adopter of Vechain but like many I didn't buy enough to be at masternode status, and I wasn't willing to sell my other biggest holdings to do it. Here we have another opportunity to get in on the node action.

Now as it stands, there are no details as to what will be required to run a node so I did my own analysis on this.

I compared it with the Vechain's masternode details:

At 250,000 VET you can apply to be one of the 101 Authority MasterNodes, these are also called Thrudheim Masternodes.

A minimum of 150,000 VET is required to become the highest rewarded Economy node known as Mjolnir Masternodes.

From 50,000 - 149,999 VET you can qualify as a Thunder Node which will be rewarded less than a Mjolnir but higher than the following nodes.

From 10,000-49,999 VET you qualify as a Strength node which is the lowest rewarded economy node but is still paid more than any non-node VET stake.

Below 10,000 VET will allow you to receive a default reward that will be set by the Foundation. This will be the lowest reward possible but also requires nothing regarding commitment long term.

Now there are 2 important factors I must consider with determining what CPC's node staking will require:

CPC has more than double the supply the total supply of Vechain (1Billion CPC vs 460M VEN)
EDIT /u/dcryptod pointed out that VEN actually has a very similar total supply as CPC. 1B CPC & 873M VEN.

Unlike Vechain you will not earn a GAS type of crypto like Thor, you will earn CPC.
So my thoughts are I believe you will have to own a significant amount of CPC in order to run a node as they will most likely not be looking to have a plethora of them due to the fact that nodes will be paid in CPC. This also leads me to believe they will not offer multi tiers like Vechain does as explained above.

All things considered I believe you will have to own a significant amount of CPC to run a node, my guess is 50k to 100k shares.

When I consider the fact that the ICO sold out in the pre sale, it tells me that most of the initial sales were to strategic partners and big time investors. These strategic partners will most likely be running nodes as they will probably have their own IoT services they will be running through CPChain. Because of this I feel the time is now to go all in and hope you have enough to be node eligible. This is of course my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

Conclusion

What CPChain is trying to accomplish is very ambitious and there isn't a road map yet as far as I can see, so the project may not see huge updates for awhile but once they start making serious progress the sky is the limit as the team is stacked, the partnerships are real, there are node incentives, marketing hasn't began yet, and the product is IoT which has low competition compared to other cyrpto categories... it is for all of these reasons I am calling CPC a potential gold mine.

ok, I meant apart from gas limit and gas price. Is there anything about the timing that will make a difference? Can you be too EARLY in a busy ico, like does timing depend on when blocks are finalised so that sometimes people who send funds slightly later end up being included faster than people who sent before?
