Some altcoins can still be mined profitably with CPU/GPU. There are also plenty of masternode coins that can give massive returns, especially if the value of the coin rises drastically like Dash.

I'm not sure if it will end up being a good long-term investment, what with its scalability, speed, and transaction fee issues. I think it's great investment right now because it's becoming everyone's introduction to the world of crypto. So invest in BTC now, but keep a watchful eye for when the tide begins to turn.

I'm in the same boat. I'm just a little anxious since I've had a couple bounties fall through on me recently as well, so I'm hoping if anything there will just be a little delay before payout occurs.

Dopecoin. The marijuana industry is going to explode on January 1st 2018, and Dopecoin is in a great position to benefit from that boom. They have strong connections to the industry already and they're developing the Smoke Exchange, an advertising platform for the marijuana industry that will accept BTC, ETH, DOPE, and the SMX token. Lots of bonuses for using DOPE in the SMX ICO as well as on the Smoke Exchange itself, too.

I would be pretty surprised if anyone got paid for week 2, let alone week 3 or 4. The price of BTC has gone up by $5000 since they announced that the bounty campaign had been suspended due to "budget constraints," so I'm pretty certain they realized they'd be better off holding their BTC rather than paying it out.

Some people in this thread are recommending starting with ICOs, but I think that's a bad idea. If you're new to trading, there's a much higher likelihood that you'll buy in to a scam/worthless ICO.

When I started trading I gave myself $100 to start with. I researched as many coins as I could and looked for trends and patterns in established coins. I've made some mistakes along the way, but those mistakes helped me develop rules for myself and hone my strategy. I've managed to grow my investment by more than 25% over what it would be if I had just left it in BTC. That's not terribly high and I'm sure many people here have gained 100% or more, but I think it's pretty good for a beginner.

Interesting how the Cannacoin ANN thread still says they're listed on Bittrex, yet they got delisted almost 7 months ago due to lack of user interest... Active indeed

Ah, I see. Unfortunately most mobile mining apps are scams as well. Mining in general is done either with ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuit, costs thousands of dollars and requires a lot of electricity) or GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit, the video card in your computer). Mining Bitcoin specifically is really only possible with ASICs, while mining most other coins require at least one recent GPU (preferably more than one if you actually want to make a profit). Phones don't have nearly as much power as ASICs or GPUs, so it's highly unlikely you'll ever make any money mining on your phone. There's a small chance you could earn a payout, but it will likely be less than the amount you paid to charge your phone.

That depends... What GPU do you currently have or are you looking to purchase one (or more)? Do you pay for electricity? Any mining experience at all?

Yeah they claim that you can earn 1BTC per day by paying them to "upgrade" your account. Looks like most of their business lies in their "Affiliate" program, which is otherwise known as a Ponzi scheme. I'd stay away from web based miners. Setting up a miner and joining a reputable pool isn't very difficult. If your problem is lack of decent hardware, no website or other software is going to be able to change that for you.

Hmmm... I'll definitely be checking out DopeCoin. Looks like THC doubled today, hoping the same can happen for DOPE when they announce more dispensaries

Nice to see a marijuana-related coin where the developers are active and actually working with the legal industry. Looking forward to reaching the highest of highs with Dope!

Which website? There are a lot of scam sites out there, but a few that I believe to be legit. Though even if they are legit it's unlikely you'll make a profit from them. If you really want to mine, take the time to learn how to set it up yourself.

I'm in favor of anything that brings more mainstream attention. Hopefully this will bring significantly more investors so we can put a stop to all this "bubble" nonsense that threatened bankers and government officials love to spew.

Seems to be first come first serve really. As long as you're the first to get listed on exchanges/CoinMarketCap you'll most likely beat any copycats. I've seen a few coins/tokens attempt to use existing names or names that are extremely similar (like "Bit Coin" lol), but that doesn't usually go well.

Definitely one of the stranger ANN threads I've seen, but it sure does got your attention! Pretty refreshing change of pace from the generic text-only posts that pop up all the time. I'm very curious to hear more about this project, especially with a graph like that lol

Won't multiplying the total supply by 20,000 kind of defeat the whole purpose of this token? After all that talk about how the extreme scarcity would make it "the most expensive crypto asset of all time"...

The ATH on Bittrex is listed as 1.0BTC which I doubt is accurate, but generally coins added to big exchanges will dump for a bit after the dust from the listing rush settles. Looks like a strong team on this project though, so I can see ENG recovering nicely.

Except for the part under the Airdrop heading where they wrote "You have to donate 0.01ETH to the address below." Their airdrop form even has a required field for the transaction ID that shows you "donated" at least .01ETH. This is not an airdrop. Heck, I'd even be surprised if this was a real ICO and anyone got tokens for their ETH.
