Things are accelerating for the sleeping giant.

I watched one of their sockpuppet operations on the poloniex trollbox yesterday.. I swear 6 bots all started pumping digibyte at the same time and got banned, then a minute 6 more.

All the people coming out of the woodwork wanting their long lost stakes 2 years later.. you would have had more luck trying 18 months ago. Good luck. On another note, we appear to be basing for the move up to 25000 sats.  Wouldn't want to be short here.  Keep posting your bearish little pictures though.. it's a great sign that the run isn't over. As someone that has participated in countless stock market bubbles dating back to the tech bubble in 1999, at the peak of a bubble there are no bears calling for the bubble to burst... literally EVERYONE becomes a hyper bull.


Besides, this coin and it's tech should be a bitcoin replacement. It's superior to every other coin in this regard, including ethereum, which is more of an application platform. It's only real competition is Ripple. I'm not selling because it's going to a $5B market cap, unless the entire crypto bubble pops in the next few days, which isn't happening as of now, looking at the charts and the trading volume.

I'm surprised it took someone this long to use this name. Rupee is also the currency used in the zelda games. :p

All these tokens that are popping up strike me as having no inherit value. The idea I'm going to buy a piece of rainforest or something using a token and actually have the company keep up their end of the bargain and not take the money and run strikes me as being a bit naive. If investing in an ICO, it better be a real blockchain...   Yeah I'll still take the airdrops when they're offered though, I'm a hypocrite like that.    I'm skeptical of the whole ethereum based tokens app platform... I'd rather invest in a coin more currency focused, which is why I'm simply holding XEM.

Someone's got it figured out.

For exchanges:

GDAX for bank ACH deposits and withdraws, and Bittrex and Poloniex for trading altcoins.   I don't know much about mining. Honestly this is the type of stuff you should do google and forum searches to find out, but meh I'm not a mod.

you can download the windows wallet on their website

From there generate an address and post it in the thread or PM it to the OP.

Nice work! XEM is still underappreciated for what it is, which is why I've held my stake as long as I have and still have 2/3 of it.  I see it as the ideal currency to replace bitcoin, especially when Catapult is implemented and fees are reduced.. they're working on the fee thing now.

needless to say the days of making paper wallets of .1 BTC and handing them out to people are gone with these fees. I'm using what I believe will be bitcoin's replacement, XEM, for cold storage wallets, though I generate the addresses with the Nano client. I only use BTC for transfer between exchanges because exchanges only trade altcoin pairs with BTC at this point.  It's crusty, outdated, and lagging behind because of internal politics. Time to move on.   You can call the fees "fair" and maybe they are, but that's just the big mining interests talking.. some of us see the future and it's a future where BTC is being dethroned for not changing fast enough to meet up with changing needs of the market. Adapt or die.   Of course the biggest interests are always the slowest to adapt and change, so I don't expect exchanges to switch from BTC to something else for altcoin pairing until that something else has been trading above BTC in market cap for months.

Anyone else had it where their 2 factor authentication doesn't work on coinbase/GDAX unless you wait until the very end of the countdown, or even after the countdown has laped and a new number has appeared? This has been my experience. Just a heads up if you are having issues.. wait until the very end of the countdown, or even after a new number shows up, while using the previous number, and it will go through.  I've had to do this for ACH deposits/withdraws.

meh... my ARK withdraw took 5 days to show up in my wallet when I withdraw from bittrex. They don't seem to handle certain altcoins as well sometimes. I've never had a problem with bitcoin or XEM, but other altcoins are sometimes hit or miss, on bittrex or poloniex.   I don't know if it's the coin, the exchange, or both.  I'm assuming the exchange.   Nature of the beast. I protect myself by only keeping money on an exchange in amounts I'm willing to lose, and only buying dollar amounts of alts in amounts I'm willing to lose, which for me is about $5,000 at a time of any given altcoin.  For the average person who hasn't had a 100 bagger altcoin give them a nice payout, I'd suggest using a dollar amount that is comfortable for you.

Also, keep 2 factor authentication on at all times or don't even bother trading, and educate yourself before sending anything. Don't be one of them people who sends the amount to the fee address, among other rookie mistakes made.  Know what you're doing and good luck!

thank you for the 3.1415926535.  Received.

Poloniex and Bittrex.  I've heard kraken charges $50K to list a coin, which only hurts them in the long run.. coins like XEM not being listed is just lost revenue for them. I have no incentive to pool together $50K to get it listed, as nobody really 'needs' Kraken. It's their loss. Similarly, BTC-E is stuck in the stone ages, not updating their trading list to more reflect current demand. Who buys namecoin anyways? They were that way 3 years ago though.

GDAX is good for depositing USD into the system and getting your experience started. It's what I use.  It's coinbase without the 1.5% fees.   Keep in mind bitcoin has fairly high fees right now so expect to pay a buck or two when transferring bitcoin from exchange to exchange.

Bittrex is smaller and responds faster to customer requests, but poloniex will respond eventually. They just upped my withdraw limit to $25,000 after some time waiting, but I have been doing some trading with them.   I have had equal success with both, but bittrex servers are able to stay up more consistently, though poloniex has more liquidity.

One quick tip.. when using GDAX/coinbase, their 2 factor authentication sometimes lags... you should submit your code right at the end of the countdown.. sometimes you even have to submit it 5 seconds after the countdown ends and a new number shows up.

The NEM development team themselves is not pumping this coin. Some of their stakeholders like myself extol the virtues of this coin, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will skyrocket up and replace ethereum in value or be the bitcoin killer, even though I think it might.  The way to address the undistributed funds would be to lower the requirement to be a supernode to something like 100,000 to 250,000 coins.  This could indeed flood the market with coins.. that's life.   If anything XEM has better distribution than any of the other top 5 coins... there is one bitcoin wallet that alone has 80,000 lost bitcoins. That's the same as a couple hundred stakes of XEM. XEM was distributed in the most fair way of any of these altcoins except perhaps Ethereum.  There's likely a lot of lost coins, but that's no different than any other crypto.  As for distribution held by the developers, if any, XEM has gone up fast and the fact they are not simply dumping their stakes and on the forum pumping the coin is a testament to where their priorities lie. Maybe they'll do some sort of dividend in the future. Who knows. A public disclosure of all their held funds in their control would be a positive though. I'd be interested to see that.

As for LTC, segwit was a patch and XEM will be capable of far more transactions and much more scalable, especially after the release of Catapult. Apples and oranges here. LTC is more like BTC than XEM, and that's not necessarily a complement.

I wouldn't want to piss around the tax implications until they fixed it so you didn't have to deal with it at all.   Of course the Ripple that was available would trade stable, like the US dollar, not going through manic boom and bust cycles.   It would be nice to have a one world digital currency based on the blockchain with very low fees.  Ripple  and XEM would be the candidates here. Ethereum was not designed with transaction speeds in mind.

I wouldn't try shorting yet.. too soon... gonna get caught with pants down as this hits 25000 sats.

If you don't have the private key of the address your coins were sent too, there's no way to claim a stake anymore and no way to use the stake should you have it in all likelihood.

I thought I had the private key saved but did not, so when I installed windows 10 upgrading from windows 8 the wallet file was lost.  Had microsoft not released it, I might have both stakes yet. :p

What a hypocrite. I respect this guy sells firearms and accepts bitcoin, but will not buy from his establishment unless he deletes this thread and never mentions his list ever again.  Even then I won't buy any firearms because I have enough of them, but my respect will be restored.
