Hey Guyz,
So finally indian Govt. announced bitcoin as illegal currency. And they will take action against individuals who will invest in it.

So what should Indians do at this time?
Should they sell their cypto before its too late, or wait if future hold something good for them.

Or if they donot sell then will it be safe to do transaction or use exchanges in india?

Or is there any alternate way to sell crypto without attracting Govt attention?

Hey Guyz,

There was a lot of drama After budget declaration in india that crypto is illegal in india from now on.

But after checking the statements made by indian FC, I can say that maybe Bitcoin trading is not illegal in india.

Sorry for all the mis-understanding.

By plan i mean when do you plan to cash out. Is it when you have made enough to buy a car, a house maybe? or are you setting your sights higher?

Personally i'd just like to own my own home, after that i would just play with spare change.

Let be real. How many of you guys actually read the whitepaper? I read whitepaper sometimes, but reading multiple of them can be a burden and a headache. Do you guys got any tips on getting through whitepaper a little faster. It killing a lot of time. Thank.

Dear Crypto community,

Because the privacy of transactions is, in my view, one of the most important features that cryptocurrency should have - no one wants Big Brother to look at where, how much, and why you use your money - I tried to make an overview of private coins and their main features. I wonder which privacy coin you see as the best one ?
Also, if I missed any good privacy coin, please write about it in this thread.

ZCash
Zcash uses a new method of cryptographic privacy called “zk-SNARKs”. At the basic level, zero-knowledge proofs allow for a way to prove that the information you are sending to the other party (e.g. the amount of funds) is true, without having to broadcast said information besides the fact that it is true. However, Zcash is not “private by default” particularly due to the inefficiency of zk-SNARKs. Zcash offers the choice of optional privacy - “shielding” is not on by default.

Monero
Monero uses Ring Confidential Transactions to improve privacy and security. By bundling the sending and receiving of public keys with older network transactions, a “mixer” is created that is capable of obfuscating addresses. On top of Ring Confidential Transactions, Monero makes use of ring signatures and Stealth addresses to hide both the sender and the receiver in a transaction.

Dash
Dash is not cryptographically private. Dash promises privacy through mixing, utilizing a modified version of CoinJoin – a method initially created to “anonymize” Bitcoins. Dash functions similar to Bitcoin, in that the blockchain is transparent by default while offering optional privacy by way of mixing. However, the mixing is being done by masternodes and there is nothing preventing these masternodes from logging the user’s output destinations, and there is no way to audit whether or not a masternode is logging anything at all.

Verge
Verge is not cryptographically private. Verge only offers “privacy” by way of Tor and I2P routing, to obfuscate traffic and conceal a user’s IP address when transacting. There are no cryptographic privacy features with regards to the blockchain, the linkability and traceability of transactions and addresses, nor the concealment of the amounts being transacted.

ZenCash
ZenCash uses zk-SNARKS (Private transactions with hidden sender/receiver information) like ZCash, however it has got more privacy features like Domain Fronting (Hides internet connection endpoints to prevent censorship}, IPFS (Publish or access data anonymously via a distributed system) and Secure Nodes. Unlike ZCash, it utilizes DAO-style governance model.

PivX
Pivx uses Zerocoin protocol - Zerocoin transactions (using so-called zPIV coins) exist alongside the PivX currency. The first step is converting PivX into anonymouns zPiv coins. Users then send zPiv to other users (splitting or merging is used along the way). Receiving users then convert zPiv back into PivX. PIVX is also working on implementing with the Invisible Internet Project (I2P), so that the IP address of every PIVX node will be hidden from its peers by defaut.

NAV Coin
NAV Coin is actually two blockchains, the main Nav Coin blockchain and another called the Subchain. When a user wants to send an anonymous transaction, they send the amount of Nav Coin and the recipient’s address to a NavTech incoming processing server. The NavTech processing server creates a transaction of random size on the Subchain and sends the transaction, and the encrypted address of the recipient, to a randomly selected outgoing server. The outgoing server decrypts the recipients address and sends Navcoin, from a pre-filled pool, on to the correct recipient.

And which one is the best for me? ZenCash
Let me know your opinions..

Added on the recommendation of the community:

DeepOnion
DeepOnion is natively integrated with the TOR network and ALL connections are made over the TOR network. Recently, it also supports Obfs4 (protocol on top of the tor network, allows access to tor in the regions that tor is not allowed or banned). Nice DeepVault feature - allows adding file validation credentials(hashes) to the blockchain, can be used to verify a file integrity. More privacy features coming. Good marketing.

SpectreCoin
SpectreCoin is integrated natively in TOR network and it supports masking TOR traffic mechanism (OBFS4). Additional privacy features are zero-knowledge proofs, ring signatures and stealth addresses (they are currently optional but will be made default in Q2 2018). Another nice feature will come in Q2 2018 - staking on Stealth Addresses.

Intense Coin
Intense Coin is a low market cap privacy coin also used as a utility coin for VPN services - a new approach to VPNs whereby peers can offer their own internet connections as encrypted tunnels for interested parties. VPN providers will receive Intense Coin (ITNS) in exchange for their services. Ring signatures are used to ensure privacy - the same technology is used by Monero (XMR). Uses CryptoNight proof-of-work mining algorithm - CPU mineable.

Sumokoin
Sumokoin is a low market cap coin - slightly improved Monero fork (ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) with minimum ringsize (mixin) of 12). Developers do their job, people talk about it. Aims to be used easily by normal users - they've got easy miner and intuitive GUI wallets.

I am trying to maintain portfolio by adding different coins to hodl in 2018. There are many good projects, I have Powr, Ven, TRX, Xrp, BCPT right now. What projects are you hodling, do you think its a good time to get as many coins in portfolio as market is bleeding?

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share a fun project I am starting. It's call The Shitcoin List ( www.TheShitcoinList.Com ). The idea is that I can make some pretty good returns by "blindly" investing in a list of Altcoins (or Shitcoins) generated by scanning the entire crypto market for coins that fit a specific financial criteria.

The investment is not 100% blind as the list is filtered through actual research: coin financial, project information, project development and current status, team, exchanges trading, etc.

So, a group of friends and I got together and came up with The 2018 Shitcoin List. Immediately after (or as in crypto terms, once my fund were transferred to the specific exchanges and were ready to use) I started funding each coin with an initial investment of $100.00/coin. This may not seem much but at the end of the day this is just a fun little project.

The list has some pretty cool projects like Viberate, Streamr Data, Snovio, Request Network, Simple Token and others.

There are no rules specific to this project except I won't sell any specific coin for 2x, 3x, or even 5x. The idea is that an incredible return can be achieved by going dumpster diving for hidden gems. I am targeting 7500% Return on Investment.

I will be updating the website and this thread daily.

Good Luck to us all!
  

I heard about a guy in Moscow, who jumped out of the window, because he lost all his money in crypto investments and trading. So, do we have a new free heroin here? Is it possible to get addicted to crypto? 

                     Imogen Heap has proudly announced co-operation with Viberate platform. Imogen is very important in the music industry so we will know in time everything about the concerts and venues where the concerts are held.  Imogen is a wonderful person and I am glad that he is part of us and that we are part of it, people who can improve it with pleasure.
               

2 hours of green today and then red again.
You do not know what in 12 hours...

Recently Bloomberg posted the information that it took hackers less than 10 years to steal over 14% of all existing Bitcoins and Ethereum from the wallets of their holders. The total sum they have stolen is more than $1,2 billion! How to protect yourself from hackers attacks? Are you afraid of this stuff?

DeepOnion is a Scam!

Scammer profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=321080

TLDR: Airdrop 40 weeks, 'developer' staking(!) the premine, upcoming 'DeepSend' feature implemented to dump premine coins including the ones being printed daily by staking the premine, called 'AirDrop' but in reality it is a Signature Campaign Payout Program

195 ONION generated in one second without community consent.
 - ->> for comparison, a 'Bounty' or 'Reward' in DeepOnion is for example 50 ONION for producing a video (takes a couple hours).

Think about it, this is real slavery...! We are building his coin for free and he stakes the premine, lol.


This is ongoing.

Onions are being spread out from the large premine addresses to smaller addresses.

We can keep track of them here. Just post and help debunk this scam.

Transparency is key

We are the community and this is a one man stunt that we have to stop.






ANSWER: (DELETED ON THE ANN)
REPLY:
YES Indeed! We have a right to know what you're doing with the Premine!

Right now WE the community are promoting your coin, it is not you.
We are truly building your coin and your environment, it is not you.
We are the lifeblood of your coin. You can't just stake the premine to begin dumping it on us as soon as we have an exchange. You must be absolutely transparent about what is happening and not delete our posts as you do on your moderated announcement thread.

No way. We will fork and continue your coin if you aren't 100% transparent RIGHT NOW.

“The Whoppercoin launched in tandem with a new loyalty program. For each Whopper burger customers purchase, they'll receive one Whoppercoin in a special cryptocurrency wallet. While the coins’ wider use is unclear, some reports suggest that the Whoppercoin will be accepted as payment at Burger Kings across Russia.”

Dat Sound Great !

The rumour of news spread everywhere facebook banned cryptos ads.

Do you think facebook will develop there own coin in the future for there seek and for businessmen and investors?

Facebook Gives Crypto Ads the Thumbs Down.

Facebook has issued an outright ban. As of a new ruling issued on January 30, “ads must not promote financial products and services that are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices, such as binary options, initial coin offerings, or cryptocurrency”. The move is sure to be welcomed by Facebook users and bitcoin enthusiasts alike, who recognize that these adverts do little to promote the benefits of cryptocurrency.
