"lately"? He hasn't come online for 6 months now!
Well, judging by the OP's inability to write a more full post with details, he's either is lying for unknown reasons (he doesn't look so angry tbh!) or he's just stupid. But I would expect competing site to create newbie accounts just to FUD on other sites.

Did it drop because people started hypothesizing on a possible tractability issue? I see a good opportunity to buy this dip!


First of all, it's easy to fix: BEAM has added dummy transactions of 0 value when a "block" has too few transactions, making this "attack" impossible. GRIN could implement it as well if needed, though I'm worried about how much larger the blockchain will get with dummy transactions.

Secondly, we're just talking about a user who has purchased GRIN from a KYC service and whom there's a reason to trace (for example because he used them in an illegal trade).
So I wonder... why would a criminal use a KYC service and give their real IDs (like it'd be hard to trick these systems)? If they did not give their real personal information, then the most this hard-to-achieve-attack would reveal would be where did the criminal bought their coins.

I don't know if this should be called an "attack", since it doesn't harm anyone directly. It is however a possible "privacy hole", one that would be hard to actually achieve but sounds possible in theory.
Nice idea of putting 0 value dummies though, I don't know why GRIN didn't implement it.

I guess it has the downside of increasing the blockchain's size, maybe that's why GRIN didn't like it? In any case it's good to have some separations between the two projects.

What are you talking about? The site works fine for me. Did it have a short black-out earlier or did you maybe had an internet problem for a moment?
I haven't ever seen it having any net issues in the past to be honest.

That's an interesting perspective, you believe it'll have a leading position but you want to wait for a better time to trade it?!
Don't you think it's close to a bottom, if it has not already hit bottom? Do you have a specific price in mind or are you judging if the time to buy is right or not based on every day data?

I can also recommend KuCoin and I'd like to add Bittrex in the list as well, that has been my main exchange since forever.
OkEx, I have not heard of it.
And Hotbit has a lot of things that worry me,

• It was created on January 2018, when most of the new projects/investors/ICOs were made from opportunists who aimed to take advantage of new users.
• It's China based, I don't have anything against Chinese people but since their government wouldn't give a damn about a scum which would affect people of other countries, it's a paradise for scum artists.
• They have issued their own coin (which I'm sure it's unneeded) and their coin has followed a very suspicious pump and dump model even during the bear market. I would understand it if it had risen during the alt season, but it did not. That makes me suspicious of their methods

So, even though there is no evidence against Hotbit to make a case, I'd advise you to keep your GRIN safe and not use them since they might "get hacked" sooner or later.

Hello and thank you for your feedback Welsh. I'm sorry I'm replying late, I was busy the whole weekend!

I understand your point, I almost never post "congratulation" posts but in that case I wanted to tell the developers "Please think where you want the project to go before you start spending these coins". Personally I believe GRIN has a bit divided community under the waters, mostly because of its block distribution model, that's the root of my message.
Reading my post again now though, I suppose my point was not written in a clear and constructive way; I tried to put it in a humble way as to not offend them or appear as a FUDer but I probably watered down my message too much! x)

Well... for this particular example the "magic word" that would help me improve this post was what you said about "It doesn't add anything to the discussion", that helped me and it WILL help me with my future posts!



Have you tried visit the "Patrol" feed? I have a few times tried to read an interesting post and find a new thread to watch in there but it's like a garbage generator!
Probably most of these threads are created so that the signature spammers can post short-nonsense-posts without going off-topic.

There are many threads with a bunch of signatures which are never being seen by other user users, still the campaign runners are paying for those!!!
It's their fault for choosing to go for quantity over quality; they also have the tools if they wanted, like choosing people based on Merit for their signature campaigns and not force them to do like 20+ posts per week.
But if the moderators would delete these threads, the spammers would invest other parts of the forums, so I believe it's best to leave them be.
Just focus on improving those of us who might occasionally break a small rule and have our posts deleted!

This... And if we're to choose between the two, let me ask... which is more dangerous for the ecosystem?
 - A chain centralized around greedy miners whose main (only?) purpose is to make a profit,
 - Or a chain centralized around its main developers and supporters?

With one you lose your health and money slowly but surely.
With the other you can instantly lose all your money and your whole life, but you also might not!

Hard choice, I just avoid both!

Have you done any updates on the list?
Instead of just reposting the link, you could let people know if something is new.

Right... Then yes I had misunderstood the app thinking it was just for monitoring our assets.
If this app is really used in a daily basis by so many investors, then that's great!

First time I heard of this "Tulip Trust", sounds like another fake document made from Craig and his scum-team.
The name suggests that Bitcoin's price will follow the same trend the tulip's price followed, right? Why would the creator of Bitcoin create such a contract? (This is something like a smart-contract I believe?).
The document is supposingly created on 2011, when there was no BCH and everyone was happily united under one project... so why would the creators plant a self-destruction bomb with a doomish name inside their creation?

Even though I can't say for sure if Craig has helped in the creation of BTC or not, I'm totally sure the best way to damage Bitcoin right now would be to prove he is indeed its creator! Everyone hates him so much that we'll feel ashamed for using BTC! (≧∇≦)ﾉ

Are you sure about the merging? I don't see what this would offer.

I understand that bumping a thread without having anything important to write is against the rules and it makes sense, it's an action that makes your thread overshadow other threads which might be more relevant to the other users.
But people have threads in their watchlists in order to be notified when something new is posted, I myself also WANT to be notified when an altcoin team I have money in puts a new announcement... I wouldn't want to them to silently edit their last post if no one has posted in the middle.

With hundred of posts being written every hour, I believe 1 post per week shouldn't be considered "bumping"... and debates like those are why I wished there was a reason-field when a post is deleted.

By the way, is there an official rule regarding merging new and old posts together or is this your personal suggestion as a good practice to behold?

Sure, I have since re-posted the same comment by just adding one more sentence (the last sentence you see below) in order to reduce the likelihood of my post being considered spam and to also make it clear I'm not trolling GRIN but I'm being an honest supporter.


@eaLiTy thank you for enlightening us on this, I wasn't aware they already had a similar option. I guess they're just too busy to fill this field and also since most users don't care to improve... yea I can would probably be doing the same! Unless I was forced to choose a reason.

It's good to have choices, personally I'm happy with the Blockfolio app, though I feel it takes more time than it should to update my portfolio with the latest staking/mining rewards and trades from unsupported exchanges.
But for the API-supporter exchanges, Blockfolio works great.

Since ARK holders will receive a lot of staking rewards, it'd be good to have a portfolio-management application which monitors our wallets and automatically registers stake rewards and other transactions.
I'm a bit busy right now to check out Abra, the new platform which supports ARK. If anyone tries it, please let me how it fares.

Let me start by stating that I'm going to ignore replies which are rushing to judge me as a shitposter, let us stick with the suggestion itself.

Right now when a post is deleted, we're just being informed about which of our posts have been deleted, there's absolutely no reason provided.
Ofcourse there is an unofficial official list of rules available (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0), but I have some good personal examples where the deletion had no clear reason and even after contacting the moderator team, the ones who didn't delete my posts couldn't understand why they were deleted.

For that reason, I believe a mandatory list-field should be available to the moderators when they delete a post in order to select the reason of the deletion (for example "Off-topic", "trolling" etc).

Once I had 5 of my posts in a thread of a DAPP game I'm managing deleted, posts which were many days apart from each other and relevant.
That's one of the deleted posts for example,


Yesterday I had a simple post in which I congratulated the GRIN team for their recent donation and shared a wish with them deleted (and I was the 3rd person who posted about it, it's not like I was parroting).


When I see a post of mine is deleted, I'm wondering what I've done wrong, I would just like the forums to provide the feedback regarding what I've done wrong so that I can fix it.
I understand that the moderators can't waste time explaining all their actions to every troll and spammer, but just having one extra button wouldn't hurt them I believe.


Is it just me who thinks this would be a good addition? Do you think it's too much trouble for too few users who would actually care to improve themselves?

Some people are doing the "second" and "third" try with double risk in order to quickly break even, that's catastrophic and it'll make it harder to stop later on.

Since he's in Switzerland, I don't think you can do anything about him.
If he was in USA he would have been captured already!

But there's a fine line between "we sent our money to a stranger on the internet and he run away with them" and "we were scummed by a someone who promised us things".

It'll depend; if the POS system will require an active computer to stake then myetherwallet alone wouldn't work, you'd have to use Ethereum's official application.

In any case, as long as you are holding the private keys, you don't have to worry about it now. You'll just load your current wallet wherever it's required using your keys.

If it was any other kind of game (non-gambling), I'm a competitive person so I'd challenge him if I felt that I'm also good at this game.
But I'm also very careful with my money, so I wouldn't go against a beast-player in a gambling game!
