101  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wallet hacking is it possible? on: June 01, 2019, 10:39:12 PM
Just like an account where one's fiat currencies are kept so also is wallet where digital assets or cryptocurrencies of crypto lovers are kept. Can the wallet be vulnerable to hacking and if possible how can that happen? If you have experienced it before, I want to learn from your experience.

Are accounts online even banks are vulnerable to hacking, that is why, our secret keys, passphrase, seed keys, etc and we are advised since the beginning to keep it safe in a secured place, in order that nobody can have accessed to our accounts, some people never understand the importance of privacy that is why, they experienced hacking, i have a friend, who is not securing his login details, and his wallet was hacked and he never retrieved his money, so i learned a lesson from him, that is why, i keep it secured all my transactions online.
102  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Classic or Ethereum? on: June 01, 2019, 10:34:10 PM
Am curious, and will need several opinions here, in most news out there I hear echos "Ethereum classic is a real Ethereum", how do you guys think?

As of me, I believe in strong tech, working products and services.

See here for reference ->https://twitter.com/eth_classic/status/1122533934536036353

Let's see how helpful are your opinions.

Many still wonder which is better between the two, but for me, id rather choose ethereum, why? because ETH is more easy to liquidate and more easy to buy and sell, especially one of the best thing about this currency is that, here in our country, we have a local exchanger, that is why its easy to invest and liquidate ETH compared to Ethereum classic which is not available in my country.
103  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Showing Good Growth, Upgrades Coming on: May 31, 2019, 10:26:11 PM



Quote

Ethereum is looking at changing its entire consensus algorithm from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake in a bif to improve its performance and make it a more viable and useful blockchain. If Ethereum does pull off a good transition, there is no doubt the price will rise - so is this the preparation from the market.

There has been a lot of work put into getting Ethereum ready for its change in algorithm with the Casper Upgrade being key. However, the next move has been labeled Istanbul and is due in a few months time.

Further Read: https://u.today/ethereum-price-shows-good-growth-hitting-highest-level-since-september-is-it-bullish-on-upgrades



Under the current bullish mode of the cryptocurrency market, Ethereum is likewise showing a great potential for some more big upward movement as it is waiting for its coming upgrades. The Ethereum community is now building up the buzz for these changes transpiring soon on the platform. Will those innovations be the signals of the rosy future of Ethereum? Well, we are hoping so...







This shows a  good sign for me, to hold more time and even months, and i am waiting for this news to come up in the social media, this will pump eventually for the price, but i hope it would eventually came into reality because last year was the worst year for all of us, as we are all experiencing a major losses.
104  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't be too quick to judge ICOs on: May 31, 2019, 10:19:32 PM
I personally do not believe this statistics that 99% of ICOs are scam, because some ICOs fail do not mean they are all scam. I usually tell people that starting an ICO is like starting a new business, it might succeed immediately, it might fail presently but have a great future and it might fail totally beyond redemption. So because a project is failing to perform presently or fail totally do not mean it is a scam. Don't get me wrong here, I never said there are no scam projects but the rate is not as high as alleged. Judging a project based on its first few years is wrong, give it time to realize its potentials.

Not all ICO are scam, but ones the developer is a scammer and ended up all his project could be a scam, its always different, meanwhile talking about an ICO, yes it is not scam after all if its failed in ICO, remember that the life of the ICO depends on the token sale performance, many projects successfully done their ICO but ended up being scam, but also many ICO failed in their token sale, but continue to do their projects, ended up being the best coin in the CMC, i remember one time, where i participated a  bounty but only half of the tokens were sold, and they continued their projects, but now, the price of their token is much more higher than the rest., so we cannot judge the book by its cover.
105  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounties with limitations pays higher rewards on: May 31, 2019, 10:14:31 PM
RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS FOR PARTICIPATION IN A BOUNTY CAMPAIGN = HIGHER PAYOUTS

The limitations can be done in two ways:

1)Quantative — when a max number of participants is set and no one is allowed to join after that.

Example: Max 1000 entrants in a facebook campaign

2)Qualitative — when the requirements are raised up by the bounty managers.

Example: Minimum 500 followers to participate in an article/blogging campaign.

I agree on this one, but its very rare for some bounty projects to limit their participants from participating in the projects, because the rule, is to scatter the awareness to the community, thats why, the higher the number of participants, the better to the projects, compared to a few number of participants promoting the projects.
106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The price of BTC has set a new high on: May 30, 2019, 11:46:59 PM
Predicting too much numbers may dissapoint us somehow, we just need to watch the market and be updated. There will be corrections due to recent pump of price, that may forlong the climb of price even in 5 digits. However, we see now that many still waiting and holding for bitcoins next ATH.

We could not still say, its high because if we see the history of BTC prices, 2018 was so low, hitting 3000usd above or something, but to think that the price almost hit 9000usd this year, we could still say, its far okay compared to last year, i still get your point, but the main thing is that, we should learn to play the game, rather than watching the price movements in the market, we should learn to apply our strategy in order to make profits.
107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are we in a silent bull run?? on: May 30, 2019, 11:06:44 PM
I ve seen many threads asking whether we are entering into a bull run or market will crash again. To me, the bull run is already here but it takes only experience to identify it. One key characteristic of the bull run is that, every drop is an opportunity to buy. During this period, the probability of earning profit from your investment (whenever there is a drop) is far higher than the probability to lose. Don't sit down and wait till Bitcoin hits 20k again before you realize we are in the bull run. Try and make enough profits now that the market is booming before its too late.

Market is gaining more price increase lately, this is the time to manage well our strategy, one thing to understand is that, its our time to think whether we could sell it or hold, remember that the market has recently having a huge increase, so think it wisely before its too late for you sell, depending on your strategy, market is not favorable sometimes, and i believe we are silently moving high, as far as i understand on the market situation, just play while the iron is hot, otherwise you could lose the chance of having profits.
108  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Be safe on: May 30, 2019, 10:29:34 PM
Hello,
Lately, bitcoin is bumping hugely. It has increase huge before last couple of weeks. With the rise of BTC, many more scam projects will be arisen. Be aware before investing your precious money. Don't fall in any kind of hacking trap. Think twice before clicking any link.
Most of the altcoin project will be pumped seriously by a group of people. Don't buy any coin without any proper investigation.

Be safe.
Happy trading.

Thanks for the wonderful advice, some people dont think it, because of the greed they have on their mind, they think that money can be more easy if they want to invest a certain project due to the rise of the value, but thanks to your reminders, they might be able to understand and able to play the game safety. Meanwhile, being a trader and holder of coins, we should understand and be able to play and ride the market, as long as we understand it we can able to formulate our own strategy.
109  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: can someone explain to me the motive behind airdrops? on: May 30, 2019, 09:56:44 PM
I'm still wondering why developers will organize airdrops and distribute an amount of tokens which is far lesser than the minimum amount of the tokens that can be deposited on an exchange for trading. If you don't want the users to cash out the money, why do you let them waste their time?

Airdrops is a part of marketing idea in order to gain more supporters, in this case, the reason why it is lesser and its a small value is that, it will drive the emotion of the holder to buy more, when its listed on the exchange so that he could sell it, and when he see that the project is gaining more popularity, this is the time that he will buy more on the tokens and might be able to invite more users on the project, actually airdrops is much advantage compared to bounties, it  has lots of advantages, but after all its a marketing technique and strategy.
110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: LESS REWARD on: May 05, 2019, 11:42:04 PM
It is no news that rewards of bounty campaigns are getting lesser by each passing day. Many still feel that the reward will increase when bull run come but i doubt if there will be any changes to the reward because developers and teams have now adopt the less reward as a strategy to protect the price of their token. Many bounty hunters are crying everyday for a better reward which will not likely come. I see bounty rewards more as a privilege than a right. Many at times if the token has been listed before the reward was given out,there may even be a reduction especially when the token is doing well in the market. The question to my fellow hunters is that, why cry over spill milk? when you can actually produce as much as you want. Do you know you can make much more than your bounty rewards trading some of those token you have promoted. I have made nothing less than 300% of my bounty rewards trading some of the tokens i have promoted,one of such token is Vanta (VNT). I made 500% of the money i invested participating in vanta trading competition on Allbit for 34 days which is 2000% of the bounty reward that i was given,why many were complaining of the bounty rewards,i was smiling to my portfolio. Why limit yourself to bounty rewards when there are other areas you can explore. The more you waste your time crying over bounty rewards the more you will be blind to other opportunities around the project. As bounty hunter my advice is
      1).Take time to monitor closely the progress of the project you are promoting to see other opportunity apart from the bounty reward
      2).Be ready to invest when opportunity present itself.

With the number of bounty hunters increasing by the day,the reward is more likely to reduce than to increase. The earlier will accept that and move on the better for everyone of us. We should understand that, crying for unrealistic rewards can make developers and teams to promised unrealistic rewards.

Reward will still depend on the number of allocated tokens and the number of participants in its project, yeah its normal to think that rewards could better, because we work on it day by day of promoting a lots of project, and i hope that together with the rewards, the value of the tokens itself could also be better, because thats the most important thing, but if the project is good, and with the lesser number of rewards, it could be better because, the lower the rewards the higher the value.
111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Bull is in the Crypto Arena on: May 05, 2019, 11:26:22 PM
After the wave of December 2017 passed, the crypto market has been gripped in the claws of a bear market. This has resulted in companies going under, job losses, and investors and miners capitulating. All the biggest coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple, have fallen 85% or more from their peak price.

The firm believers and those in it for the long haul stayed put on the sidelines waiting for the winter to pass. But now the sun is out and investors are starting to express their excitement at the prospect of a bull run for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple.

Read here for more : https://www.cryptofish.com/blog/the-bull-is-in-the-crypto-arena/

Bullrun believers are still around the corner including me, and me also, ive lost a lot of money due to market crash and or down, but i hope it could recover, looking at the market nowadays, i could say that bullrun is starting to appear, and its a good thing for me because i have lots of tokens which are need to sell because i exerted so much effort in it, by means of bounty promotion, so i am looking forward that this movements this time is continuous.,
112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HOW TO KNOW THE IDENTITY OF ALL ICO SCAMMERS on: May 05, 2019, 02:18:43 AM
I woke up this morning and just wondering how i can be of assistance in this race of making the ICO clean, because ICO is not what is bad, the scam being done is what is making ICO bad.

So let us pick it from this point, a scammer draft a whitepaper to get people's attention, innocent investors pays money to the scammers through Ethereum address, the scammer gets the transfer into his own wallet, he then transfers it to another wallet on a local exchange that will convert it to FIAT and transfer it to the scammer's traditional account.

What if we trace it from here, at least the account was transferred to a wallet, Local exchanges should be able to scan through their database to see the bank the scammer transferred the money to when he requested for withdrawal, at least investors knows the address they transferred the money to, which can be disclosed to exchanges to use for further research.

To make my point clearer, let me use an example, MR JOHH has ETH in is abc123 wallet, i asked MR JOHN to transfer money to my account from his address, the token from MR JOHN abc123 wallet landed in my wallet address abc700, and then i transferred it to the wallet address of my local exchange abc800 which is LUNO to chnage to FIAT and transfer to my account, LUNO should be able to trace my details to my bank since they have my KYC done already and since the receiving bank too has the details. i.e abc123 to abc700 to abc800 to scammer bank, bank to be contacted throug legal means to disclose the scammer information for authority to use.




In my own idea, there is no way we could predict the identity of scammers as they are professional in their field of work, we as a community should be aware of what we are engaging with, its up to us to become a victim.or not, its just a matter of self awareness, thats the most important thing in this field.
113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dogecoin now supported by Coinbase! on: May 04, 2019, 11:43:35 PM

114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Spirit of Bounty Hunting on: May 04, 2019, 01:10:27 PM
For you to succeed as a bounty hunter, you must keep up with the followimg spirit:

1. Spirit of Positivity
When others are thinking it is over, always tell yourself that you have just started writing your own success story in this space, notwithstanding your achievements or losses so far.

2. Spirit of Patience
To succeed, you must be able to wait to get the best from the crypto space. Never be in a haste to sell and never be in a haste to promote just any project. Take your time to study every circumstance and make good use of it.

3. Spirit of Wisdom
You must be wise in your dealings. Know when to sell when not to, even while being patient.
Also know this, you are not here to promote and  sell alone, you can also buy and make good profit from the coin you have bought.
Being a bounty hunter is always an opportunity for you to be able to recognise good coin and understand such coin so well than any other person.
Apply what you know to get what you want and what is best for you.

4. Spirit of perseverance
As a bounty hunter, you should not allow yourself to get tired or go weary, because of the present situation of things. Always look beyond the present time. Look into what the future hold.

5. Spirit of Vigilance
What ever project you are participating in, while working to promote the project in your own sincerity, you must be watchful over cheaters, who steal other people's work and reap them of their reward.
You must be vigilant,because you too might be a victim.

If you can imbibe these attitudes, you will definitely see yourself floating at the top instead of wallowing in the dip.

The list continues...

Bounty hunting this year is tough but if you are focusing on it, i think you can make some money, just that you have to understand that there are lots of fake ico and projects this time, but it needs a lots of patience and hardwork to attain it, understanding the project and carefully studying it might help to eliminate useless projecta out there, just dony give up on your work. This type of job, needs patience.
115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to make money on cryptocurrency in 2019 on: May 04, 2019, 10:42:15 AM
Let's start with the fact that just after almost a year and a half not many can earn money on bounty, and this is a very ungrateful job. I think this year the situation will not change, and it will be still difficult to make money on bounty.

What to do? Is there a way out?

Yes, there is one single way out, this is work on yourself for free, spend all the time that goes to the bounty for self-education, the study of new trends, those that require intellectual activity.

For example, out of 1,000 people performing the bounty, 70% will continue to fulfill them in the hope that in the future they will get rich. 25% will simply come out of this whole story and the cryptocurrency for them will only be experience and memory. But only 5% will understand that this niche is only developing, and experts, experts in their field are required here, they will start exploring other ways of making money, it could be programming, marketing. And of these 5% only 5 people will not give up and will work hard to reach their goal.

What I am talking about, people give up very easily, without even trying, losing their chance to gain experience, possible earnings. If you just think about the fact that very low% of people really try to achieve something, then theoretically everyone can achieve anything, you just need to make the effort and time.

Thus, those people who may not even be very capable, but they have motivation, they understand that nothing is impossible, they reach heights.

I did not try to convince anyone or something else, I just wanted to talk, to express my opinion on this matter.

I wish you good luck and patience!

Crypto industry this year is really tough, compared to 2016, and its hard to make.money this time if you are engage in airdrops and bounty promotions, but if you are eager to earn more i think understanding the strategies for trading is the best one, i mean employing the techniques still the best, but without any capital i believe aidrops and bounties still working, just a matter of hardwork.
116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Limit your participation in IEO on exchanges that you trust on: May 03, 2019, 11:56:40 PM
We are now in an era of IEO, where a lot of investors and traders are looking forward to participating in different IEOs in order to make their profit.

Just as much as we have seen a lot of them succeeded, does not mean it is a totally scam free means of token sale or marketing. Why because, there are some newly lunched exchanges, that have not spent so much time in the crypto space, yet are aspiring and already making moves to conduct IEO.

If you seriously desire to take part in IEO, which is a good move, either as a newbie and as an expert in trading and investment, limit yourself to exchanges that you trust, most especially those you have been using right from time or the top exchanges in the crypto space.
This is not an investment advise, but a warning to safeguard your assets.

In my own observation, whether it is IEO or ICO, it doesnt matter, there is no guarantee if the project is IEO, if the developer would stop, it will stop everything, its just a matter of understand and mental awareness as well. The only good side of IEO is that, possible investors are at a high percentage, and it will come out as a successful IEO.
117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which one is favourite bounty in 2019?? on: May 03, 2019, 11:21:42 PM
I stopped participating in bounty year back. After lots of unsuccessful projects I have may be my mistake of choosing wrong project. I wonder still anyone getting profit from bounty . If it is please share us your story.

For me, i did to stop for a while but someone said, quitters will never win, and so with bounty, those who quit will not make any money, whatever it is, as long as it i can carry it with my time, thats okay for me, although, i have experienced a lot of scam projects but it does not mean i could stop doing it, most specially now, i am a mother, and i need to make my own money to live.
118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 5 Ways to Earn Crypto without investing or mining on: May 03, 2019, 01:33:35 PM
Hello Community,

I found this article that shows 5 ways to earn crypto, I think it's a great article and a great starting point for anyone who is looking to get hold of a small amount of crypto without investing or mining. What do you think about the article and the ways to earn? If you could rank them, what is the order? Are there any other ways to earn crypto that are not listed in the article?

Also I would check out the platform the article is written on, its a new blogging platform where you earn crypto for writing articles and tipping articles (all free). I have been using it for a month and I've made over 10 dollars in Bounty0x tokens and I've not been that active.

https://www.publish0x.com/crypto-101/5-ways-to-earn-crypto-without-investing-or-mining-xozwx?a=GELe3POa69

Look forward to your responses!

My own ways of earning crypto without investing is by participating in airdrops and bounty promotion, i think this is the only way i could gain more coins and tokens without using my money, although i invested with a lot of efforts, its just that i need to carefully understand what i am promoting. Lots of ways out there, but i think this is the easiest ways for me.
119  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto in infancy on: April 28, 2019, 03:08:18 PM
All the crypto world needs is an education to create better awareness and investments. What do you think are ways to go about it, apart from various conferences and meets.

Self awareness is an important factor in joining crypto, of course, we ourselves should spend much time in studying online rather than depending on the others for seminars and other conferences as well, self awareness is an important key, there are lots of readily available materials in the internet.
120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HOPE FOR SHIT COIN on: April 28, 2019, 01:44:29 PM
Hello

Please i want make a quick inquire please. can there be any possible hope a shit coin to come back alive. i participated on an ICO that are responsible for reinventing dead coins. the project is known as coin janitor. they believed that there are tokens that are good but was closed down due some factors like market dump or no finance which lead to the demise of the token.
Could there be any means by which a dead coin can be resurrected again ?

Those coin that you mentioned is already dead, and it cannot be reinvented, its just a waste of time, money and energy. In my own idea, i think it depends on the project or tokens to be normalized, several reasons like the finance is the most important part on the team and developers itself, and community support on the project as well. Some dead tokens is impossible to retrieve in its positions, and we need to move on.
