561  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETC on Polo on: July 24, 2016, 07:10:49 AM
and what is the point exactly?

Is someone going to run with it and use it as a new alt?  I am pretty happy that it is there, as I was holding ETH at the time of the fork, but I don't know if it is worth holding ETC or selling now for some free money.

was it not pointed out months ago that all you need to do if fill in a few forms, and Azure will add you?
It worked for pumping coins for a while, until people found out that it is essentially meaningless!

I traded poorly just before the last big bubble to the ATH.
This time I bought back in between $250-$300, have waited a year, so can sell without capital gains tax, but have no plans to sell.

I hold more now than I ever have before.

If you are in the US you still need to pay capital gains tax...

I'm not Cheesy

I have no problem with Steemit, except it is generally very boring articles/blogs that are rewarded if they are click bait.
Medium is much better, people write about different things, not just the price of STEEM and how much STEEM you can make in 1 hour!

Maybe it is just immature at the moment and will get better.
565  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Alt Will Be Poloniex's next Overnight Moonshot? on: July 12, 2016, 05:24:24 AM
The answer today was Piggy!

You might get lucky trying to pick out a coin before it gets pumped, but the liquidity on these coins is really low, so if you try to buy a bitcoin of 2 of them, you will be sat on a paper loss of quite a lot immediately.  If it gets pumped, then good for you, but if not, you will lose out.  How many alts are you happy to hol, and for how long?  I have sold coins that have been pumped hours later (e.g. quark, xcp) a few times, it really annoying!
566  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Launching a new coin on: July 11, 2016, 01:50:55 PM
Thinking of launching a new coin

Please don't. There are enough sh1tcoins around already, you don't have any novel ideas to add to the coins, so just don't!
Even worse if you want to have an ICO, if you must, just start your sh1tcoin and mine it without telling people how to mine it.

You will get the majority of the coins, and not steal money from people by way of an ICO.
567  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone who supports the hard fork is an abomination to the crypto world. on: July 11, 2016, 01:45:10 PM
I know it was within the rules, as the code is the law, but how could banks and big businesses seriously look at using ETH, if a thief was allowed to walk off with millions of $ worth of coins, just because of the coding error?

ETH seems to want to go mainstream, that isn't very popular on Bitcointalk, but if it is to happen, they need to be able to fix major flaws, rather than just screwing over the little guy who has money stolen from them.
Let's face it, the main reason why the masses shouldn't use bitcoin is because there is too much chance that they will have it stolen from them, if that can be prevented or rectified somehow, then I think main stream use could be massively increased.

I was expecting a dump, I am quite surprised that nothing happened, but then I guess for 99% of bitcoin users, it makes no difference.

The miners will be feeling it already, so maybe they will stop selling what they mine until the price rises, or they will stop mining altogether, who knows.
570  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What would you like to know? on: June 30, 2016, 08:46:27 AM
name every coin you have launched/made/slimed over

If I sat down and made a list, I would honestly not be able to name all the coins I've been involved with at least to some extent. I've made a LOT of coins for other people

If you guys list off coins you are curious about, I'll include a whole list with yes/no in the audio

just the ones your mined the first block for

Well that's not fair. Most people that pay me to make a coin for them don't know how to mine and need the premise done for them

Not many As in this Q&A!
571  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What would you like to know? on: June 29, 2016, 08:30:40 PM
SPT, the one that you pumped in the last altcoin boom in late 2013.
572  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What would you like to know? on: June 29, 2016, 08:14:44 PM
As many of you know, I'm leaving crypto very shortly. I have decided to burn as many bridges as possible since I do not care about the repercussions. I won't answer everything because of time constraints, but I'm putting together an audio version of the things I think people should know. Post below or PM me if you don't want it public and your question may be answered. I won't say who asked what, but if I think it's an interesting answer, I will include it. I already have quite the list, but I may shorten it if the stories don't come out that interesting

If you talk shit, it's self-moderated, so it's just going to get deleted. This is your chance to have something you've wondered for a long time answered without fluff behind it

What do you want to know?  Wink

Back in the day when Spots hit it's all time high and you heavily pumped it saying that was just a start and the price would definitely be going higher, did you actually believe that, or were you just pumping your shitcoin?
573  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Nem growing so fast? on: June 28, 2016, 08:59:02 PM
Is removal of a multisig enough to give a $133million market cap?

I mean it is almost as big as LTC! It won't be in 1 month, I am 99% certain.
574  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's the deal with the sudden ETH drop? on: June 28, 2016, 07:14:47 PM
Messing up the soft fork does seem pretty amatuer hour.

I am amazed that so many people are happy to invest large amounts of money in something that is consistently being shown to be flawed and/or a scam.
575  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you from Great Britain and have altcoins? on: June 24, 2016, 07:41:32 PM
Altcoins are almost completely unrelated to Brexit.
If the economy tanks, then Bitcoin could rise a lot.  If things go well after Brexit, then the pound should rise.  I don't see where alts are involved!

The economy will be different in the future, but that doesn't mean better or worse, just different.

That said, I sold my alts this morning as I wanted to be positioned in Bitcoin in case it rises big.
576  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is going on with the price? on: June 24, 2016, 07:37:46 PM
Stagnant for the last few hours!

Is that an oxymoron? It seems like it would have to stagnate for longer than a few hours to become stagnant!  I still see some uncertainty ahead, Bitcoin's price should appreciate in the next few weeks.
577  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What prevents one large player from buying up most coins? on: June 24, 2016, 07:06:09 PM
The price would simply skyrocket, making it practically impossible to buy most coins.

About $ 300,000,000 worth of BTC is traded every day.
ELI5 why it's impossible for a large player to snag enough coin to do what OP describes?

Those coins are probably traded frequently, there will be millions of coins that never move and would be held regardless of price.

The ultimate goal of buying all the Bitcoins would be stupid anyway, if they suceeded they would end up with a worthless personal coin, which people wouldn't mine anymore!
578  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Britain's vote to secede as related to crypto on: June 24, 2016, 12:37:32 PM
I agree with your statement. Just consider bitcoin as the main invitation to the Crypto currencies.

Only thing is that 90% is utter garbage and the other 10% have not proven their mettle yet in terms of scaling.

We still have years left before any form of mass adoption.
I think 90% is very conservative.

Do you count the hackable smart contracts as garbage? If so I would say 99% of Alts are garbage, with most of the others being unnecessary or useless.
579  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][CLAM] CLAMs, Proof-Of-Chain, Proof-Of-Working-Stake, a.k.a. "Clamcoin" on: June 23, 2016, 01:32:56 PM
I find the recent price fall more worrying that the previous 'big digger' price fall.
This time there is no real reason for the fall, other than that people divesting.  I have a bit of a safe haven theory, which would have CLAMs rising now that Bitcoin and the new alts are starting to fall, we will see but I think CLAM should get back to at least 0.002 in the near future, if only because there is no reason why it fell from 0.002 a few weeks ago!!

Patents can only be made on something that is not public knowledge.
If Satoshi had patented the idea before releasing Bitcoin, that would have worked (probably)

Years later it is stupid to talk about patents.
