I'm actually surprised how many people are having difficulties with clearing all the rules to join the airdrop. It's a fairly simple list that can't possibly take longer than 30 minutes to tick off if you don't count the time that you would spend on your weekly posts...
It sure feels like people don't even try to read the rules at all sometimes.

I could think of a few reasons. Perhaps an accident, or another urgent need for quick money. Perhaps giving in to FUD, or maybe they just want to jump on an ICO that seems like a better chance to them.

Crypto is a wild place that nobody can fully predict. So there'll be a lot of different strategies on how to act in this market.
Can't really tell them they're definitely wrong until the future becomes present and past.

I'm personally in the hodl camp since the worst case scenario of losing everything by hodling is nothing compared to the moon potential and I still can't see any reason for failure based on the amount of effort that the devs and community are putting in.

But I can't really judge anyone for dumping either. It's very easy to get emotional in this market, especially if the amount of money is "a lot" to some.

My portfolio regularly swings up and down by multiple years worth of full-time salary, so I can see how people would panic and become impulsive.

That's why I decide what I'm going to do before I even start playing, and then don't move away from my strategy whatsoever. If I lose I can always blame my past self and then use that experience for future actions. Most people don't do this though, and think purely in the present.

Either way, let's hope for the best for everyone, dumper or hodler alike. Maybe the dumpers will come back one day once we start mooning. And if not let's just hope that nothing seriously bad happened in their life that would cause them to dump.

I agree with this. Staggered and diversified buying is usually the way to go to to minimize risk without sacrificing profits.

Nothing to worry about. People dumped Bitcoin and ETH dozens of times too at all stages over the years.

Don't forget the market cap. It's not very likely for any coin to supercede Bitcoin anytime soon, so in the short and mid term Bitcoin puts a soft cap on all cryptos. There are surely going to be a few more x100s though, but good luck identifying them successfully.

Being a Junior Member is enough at this point as far as I am aware. Your registration date is the only factor that hinders you from registering anytime soon.

I'm not sure to what extent you are familiar with the exponential adoption of disruptive technologies. But despite the fact that we've seen some major increases in recent times, we're nowhere near the end yet.

Before crypto, these increases simply weren't something that people had access to. Exponential profits like these were largely reserved for venture capitalists. With the blockchain that is about to chain.

Of course, you have to keep in mind that the risk is extraordinarily high, so most people are expected to burn themselves at some point. But the opportunities for the mainstream have rarely been brighter.

Why not stay in both to keep your portfolio more diversified? I'm somewhat skeptical about Ethereum myself, but I don't think it will die anytime soon. And some extra hedging is always desirable in such volatile markets.

As far as I'm aware, mining is only worth it if you have an ASIC nowadays, so your fourth point doesn't really hold for the vast majority of people.

On another note, SONM finally starting to climb, just as expected. Still has room up to $1.20 if it does a similar movement as Golem did. Since Golem has so far been inferior to SONM, it's not extremely unlikely to see a slightly higher price than $1.20 by late December or January/February of 2018.
The real pump should occur somewhere around August 2018 though, which is when they intend to go live.
In the next days or weeks the price could retract a bit, which would create a good buying opportunity for anyone who hasn't piled up during the 3-4 cent FUD phase.

This has been my point all along since the beginning. They (devs) are putting in far too much effort to make it worth their time if all they plan to do is pulling out without any actual features.

A lot of people are involved with the airdrop.
Your signature is off by the way, you need to put your BCT profile ID as the referral ID (1146512).

Whether or not DO rises exponentially depends on the time scale that you're looking at. Features and more volume are all that's needed for this to happen. With both DO should follow a similar path as other successful anon-cryptos did in the past.

That's generally not how markets work. Waves price isn't going beyond $5 because nothing of substance has been added to the platform. That's why the price is moving sideways currently.

Just came home to an unexpectedly large Airdrop!


This didn't directly apply to me, since I have no intention of moving coins around anytime soon. But there was a guide about a "coin control feature" that you should read through if you intend to sell your weekly 10% or anything like that. I'm not sure what exactly that is for, but I could imagine that by not keeping coins in a given address once moved could increase anonymity. In either case, I recommend you read the guide and contact xsinx about it.

Your activity updates once every 14 days. It updates on the same day for everyone on BCT. You can get 1 activity point per day by making one post. You could also make all 14 posts on the same day for a given 14-day period, but you can only get a total 14 activity per 14 days.


I think it might be possible to only make 4 posts during one 14 day period and then do 28 posts in the next 14-day period to get the full 28 activity for both periods, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Activity levels are listed in the meta forums, I believe it was 40 for Junior, 70 for Member, 120 for Full member, 240 for Senior and then 500 something for Hero. Legendary was a random thing from 700 or 800 activity onward. Check the meta section for accurate numbers.

The last update was 1 or 2 days ago and since you're at 28 activity you could get up to 42 activity in about 12 days, which would make you a Junior Member and thus capable of joining the DO airdrop (if you registered before September 1st).

Your current user level is "Newbie", so you need to wait a bit longer until you hit Junior Member to be able to apply (assuming you registered on or before Sept. 1st)

Hope all's good with the dev and nothing bad happened. Don't really care about the delay personally, not moving coins around anyways.

I got blacklisted and got back in. At this point I'm still not sure what exactly happened, but my best guess would be "burst posting", since I actually do post a lot in short intervals when I'm actually browsing the forum sometimes. In either case, I had no trouble getting reinstated for the airdrop.
I wouldn't call being very careful and selective a power trip either, even though I personally lean to slightly more lax rules. Ultimately both approaches have both up- and downsides though, and it's obviously up to the devs to make the choice for their project.

Did you get blacklisted yourself or something, if you don't mind me asking?

Do I have to know anything for this? Or will I automatically have the Ignition tokens if I'm holding QTUM on an exchange?

What products though? I don't think I've read about anything groundbreaking coming from Ethereum in the near future. The last big news that I recall was the EEA, which just as well could be merely researching the potentials of the Ethereum blockchain while completely ignoring Ethereum itself.
