Their new platform, tZERO, has a ton of features like being able to handle millions more orders per day, 24-hour trading, and a lot more that we touch on in our blog post about Overstock becoming a blockchain company:

Time will tell if Overstock can be successful in the competitive cryptocurrency market!

If you want to spend the time and energy learning something in the crypto world, it'd be more advisable to focus on investing or trading. If you decide to participate in a faucet, just do your research and make sure it's legitimate.

Good luck!

VTT stands for Web Video Text Tracks. It's a format for displaying captions/subtitles on a video in connection with html5. Why do you seek this knowledge, fellow williamy?

If you're just starting out and do not want to get overly-technical just yet then something like the Samourai (android), GreenAddress (IOS) or Coinomi mobile wallets are good options. Alternatively you can look into wallets for your desktop/laptop like Electrum or Jaxx. I would agree with the above posts and do suggest that eventually, when you are comfortable, to invest the money for a hardware wallet such as nano-s or trezor.
106  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Whats the first thing to begin crypto with As A Newbie? on: May 10, 2018, 04:31:17 PM
 While those things might be worth looking into, it would be advisable to start on a smaller scale.
You can start with a user friendly interface such as Coinbase, buy some of the main coins and watch how their markets move. Educate yourself on trading vs. holding, and see which is best for you. We have a "getting started" guide you can check out here:

Good luck  Smiley
107  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Interested in Cryptocurrency? Beware of these scams. on: May 10, 2018, 04:26:27 PM
Unfortunately, many people don't understand Crypto well, so malicious people are using new tactics to steal from unknowing people. While there are many upsides to crypto being unregulated (such as no infringement n privacy), it's the kind of environment where scams thrive. If you get ripped off, there is no one to send a complaint to; however, the best way to avoid scams is to stay informed!

Escrow is a good idea when exchanging funds with another person--going through a trusted third party gives you peace of mind that both of your assists are protected.
109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who are the most influential crypto voices to look out for? on: May 10, 2018, 04:15:33 PM
This might be viewed more on a trivial level but the guy on CryptoDaily is a growing presence in the crypto world. Obviously from his commentary you can see he knows what he is talking about in regards to the crypto-space, but being able to attract and keep viewers engaged with comedy is a skill that can't be overlooked.
110  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Few advices on how to avoid scams on: May 09, 2018, 10:16:29 PM

Well, the power of sound money is determined by the markets...there's a contrasting concept of "stable money" which you can read more about in this article:

Hope this helps!

You don't, simple as that. Sure, one could argue that a bit of risk is necessary to achieve wealth but to not know who is behind something when they are asking for your investment is a foolish practice. It is imperative to look for transparency within a project, even more so if it is a new one. As mjglqw says, it all comes down to thorough research--what that exactly means, however, is subjective.

It could be a good strategy to follow or even attend (if possible) blockchain and crypto-related conferences around the world to see who is up and coming in the business, that way you not only see who the face of the project is, but also get an early foot in the door f you decide to invest. One such conference is called coinagenda, on our blog we expand on a recent one held in Puerto Rico where numerous ICO's gathered to pitch their ideas. Feel free to check it out: http://bit.ly/ICOConference

In the end, as CryptopreneurBrainboss says, it's better to stay positive about these things, unless you personally can do something about it, of course?  Wink

117  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: YoBit Bots for earning some currencies safely? on: May 04, 2018, 06:49:30 PM
Thanks for your answer !

Yeah, it seems like trading yourself remains the best options, but I must say I don't know which currency invest in. And I guess one cannot really say "this one WILL be worth later" with certitude. If it was that easy anyone could earn money.

I agree that bots might be risky, but i've been told there usually are "safety settings" that enable the bot to invest more than you want. I guess it's up to the user to increase the liberty of the bot when he verified its efficiency...

Is day trade usually reliable, for non-experts? I guess it's a bit like sports bet : you might win if you're lucky but you shouldn't expect live from that if you're working alone.

I'll ask my coworker to see if he has some advice on which currency invest.

Zepiti.

Unfortunately day-trading is not for non-experts. You might get lucky a few times but over time you will lose money. You'll need to learn currency pairs, some technical analysis, how to use limit/stop order effectively, etc. It's a lot more technical that people think; try opening up a demo account on coinmarketgame or any other trading simulator (there are many)--this can be a good way to get practice without risking actual money. Bots can be effective as tools in your overall strategy, but they shouldn't be used as the primary method. There is a plethora of info on the internet that you can go through, this article give you an overview of everything you should know before going into the day-trading field: https://www.investinblockchain.com/how-to-day-trade-cryptocurrency/

If you are a visual learner, check out some youtube channels like datadash, for example.

A wallet is definitely your more secure option. You can use an exchange to convert fiat currency into Bitcoin, and trade Bitcoin for a multitude of other cryptocurrencies in the market, but it's advisable to put your earnings into a wallet (hardware would be a good choice). If you want more information on which wallet works for you, you can check out our blog post about it here:

Check out the SALT platform, they are the leaders in this field: https://www.saltlending.com/

Below are a couple articles regarding their platform:

https://medium.com/trivial-co/lending-and-borrowing-on-the-blockchain-should-banks-be-scared-e0a01c857c43

https://medium.com/cryptocurrency-citizen/blockchain-review-salt-lending-win-win-loans-f96f64a37d91

Like anything else, don't get into any sort of contractual agreement without understanding the fine print, do your research.

Hope this helps!
