So, is the project dead (i really hope not) or still moving towards a happy end (open this damn exchange!). Price can't get much lower.

If you want to be on the safe side, you should try a hardware wallet. I can recommend Trezor. Easy to use, fast and very secure: https://trezor.io/

Because banks act as middleman between two people which want to exchange money, generally speaking. And cryptocurrencies are exactly the opposite. They abilish the middleman and give the rights back to the people holding the money/coins.

It is NEVER a good idea to put all your money into one sort of thing. The key to risk management is diversification. But if you are lucky you might end up like these guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4OmE9bn7Pw

There is no voting currently going on. The next round will start: 31.05.18 at 6PM UTC and run for 72 hours. Also you have to vote with the address where you hold your ALQO (not with your wallet).

Ab wann ist man für dich denn nicht mehr "einer der Kleinen"? AB 10 BTC oder ab 100 BTC? Wenn Sie Ende des Jahres bei 50k pro coin stehen bist du auch mit unter 10 nicht mehr so klein, oder? Alles eine Sache der Perspektive, würde ich meinen.

Which coins are already approved for listing on bitfineon? I could not find any information on that matter on the website (neither alqo nor bitfineon)? I guess BTC and ETH are the main trading pairs along wis USD and EUR?

I have to root here for ALQO once more. They have a good voting system implemented and now there is a video, which exactly tells you how to set up as masternode in easy steps without prior knowledge: Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vV0c1kYwHk&feature=youtu.be

Eben, richtig dezentralisiert ist das natürlich auch alles nicht, da ja irgend jemand damit anfangen musste und es entwickelt hat. Aber das System ist immernoch besser, als das Fiatsystem im Bezug auf Dezentralisierung.

Es sollte aber durch die blockchain in der Theorie auch jeder selbst seine Datenhoheit zurück erhalten, wenn er im Besitz der Private keys ist, oder nicht?

Passt aber gerade auch nciht mehr zum Topic hier. Daher zurück zum Thema.

In wie fern züchten wir uns da selbst etwas heran? Ich bin eher der Meinung das durch Kapitalkonzentration und Lobbyarbeit so einiges, was mal dekokratisch war immer mehr zermahlen wird und nur noch der Profit der Großkonzerne zählt.

Haha, NO! Since they have to a most certain degree scammed all the valuable coins from their exchange by now, i am quite sure that you will not get your BTC back. Sorry mate!

There is already a video from smasher explaining how to update your masternode. Basically it is one line of code you have to copy & paste into your Masternode VPS terminal:

wget -N https://alqo.org/update/update.sh && chmod -f 777 update.sh && ./update.sh

The video is linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coCfcXtzDCw Explanations for MN update starts at 3:01 min

Na, das klingt ja super Ich weiß schon, warum ich weder den Banken noch dem Staat vertraue, wenn es ums Geld geht. Leider bauen Sie ja auch schon langsam Gesetze zusammen, um die Cryptowährungen auch zu regulieren und nachverfolgbar zu machen. Damit der kleine Durchschnittsbürger ja nichts tun kann, was dem Staat nicht gefällt.

FUD has and always had large impacts on stocks, crypto currencies and in general al tradable objects with worth and, in extreme systuations, can destabilize the whole network /stock market, etc. But as long as the foundation of the system is still supported, the system itself will recover.

Really depends on the location where you are mining in terms of energy costs. In China and Island the conditions are good and the energy is cheap, so there it should still be profitable. In other countries like Germany, where the energy costs per kWh are quite high, mining (at least bitocin mining) is not profitable anymore.

Geht mir genauso. Noch eine Woche Byteball und dann muss Anschluss her. Aber danke für den Link, das scheint ganz schön Arbeit gewesen zu sein, auch wenn mir die ganzen coins in der Tabelle bis jetzt nix sagen 

Very good video, thanks. Your promotion to regular community manager is well deserved with all the dedication and work you put into the videos and ALQO in general. Keep up the good work!

It is indeed very interesting how fast people are stating that they haven't received their payments for the week. Give the manager some time to do his job, or is your rent dependent on the byteball payments you receive If so, i would advise you to to get a regular job and do not only depend on bounty campaign money

@Yahoo: payment received as usual. Keep up the good work!

Ich denke mal, gleiches gilt genauso für Nicebytes. Es wird spannend, was da am Ende des Airdrop-Jahres noch übrig bleibt an Wert. Zumal ich immernoch nicht wirklich den Sinn von Nicebytes verstehe.
