461  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would you like to setup your own crypto exchange if upfront costs are low? on: May 21, 2019, 12:45:09 PM
Not a chance, I really wouldn't want to deal with all the regulatory issues that come with running your own exchange.
Upfront costs are just a very small part of overall costs and the market is already quite saturated.

Just think of all the fines you can receive, just from not having all your 'paperwork' in order, you'd really need to hire a lawyer and a good accountant to get everything in order.
462  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Is it effective to advertise crypto projects via bloggers? on: May 21, 2019, 11:32:50 AM
I've done many paid articles on my blog, but i'm generally pretty wary of writing about projects that are still in development.
I don't want to promote any subpar projects and I have rejected offers in the past because of this.

While I don't have millions of subscribers, I do think my customers are happy with my work.
Always open to offers, but can't promise that I'll accept.

Happens from time to time. Usually it helps to restart your browser and solve the captcha again. Dont know which mobile browser you are using but I am facing the least problems with Firefox!

You usually don't even have to restart your browser, just refreshing the page works most of the time.
I'd say this likely happens because the page hasn't fully loaded yet.

Really interesting to follow and looks like you're doing pretty good actually!
Just don't end up like that one guy who lost his life savings on Bitmex and posted about it on 4chan, that thread was a complete trainwreck Tongue

465  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you play at a casino where payments are delayed for days? Why? on: May 21, 2019, 09:39:06 AM
DAYS.....I wouldn't dare, such is the thing of the past in today's world.
Any service that compromises on convenience by giving below par services such as delaying payouts to their customers should be avoided simply because this negatively changes your mood and you become frustrated, it's lost opportunity for where you could have used your funds or winnings.

It's definitely not a thing of the past, there are plenty of casinos left that will take up to 2 days to even verify your payment.
I reckon that they do this because they know that some people will just cancel their payment and gamble again.

I don't think I know any traditional non-crypto casino that pays out immediately.
466  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: New electrum version detected as Trojan by Bitdefender on: May 21, 2019, 09:26:47 AM
Same thing happened with the Litecoin Electrum client, where even Windows Defender tagged it as possible malware.
I think they fixed it eventually, but it's not great advertising, that's for sure...

Was a bit of a pain to get it installed, since everything was quarantined automatically at first. After some research, I saw it was a common issue & nothing to worry about.
Did verify the signature, just to make sure.
467  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: VERY FIRST Space Full MMO PC/MAC game on ENJIN Blockchain releasing next week! on: May 21, 2019, 08:42:54 AM
I'm personally not a big fan of having to spend $40 for a game that hasn't even been released yet.
It doesn't even get you alpha access at $40, while there are enough AAA titles that cost around $40 at launch...

Saw enough friends get burned when they spent money on planetary annihilation and that didn't turn out how they imaged it would be.
468  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: What is the best way to build your project community in 2019 ? on: May 20, 2019, 11:33:24 AM
Well, having a solid, interesting project is the most important factor here.
Do you have anything specific in mind? It's kinda hard to give advice without having a concrete example in that regard.

Obviously, you need to hire some good community managers, but even the best community managers can't magically turn a shitty project in something that people rave about...

@joniboini

Well, economic incentives aren't as important as just having a decent project.
If the project is interesting, people will automatically talk about it and create a vibrant community.

@RolandSassen

Good that you mention it, I'll adjust the overview tomorrow to include that information.
I have to admit that I hadn't looked to closely at Manna's whitepaper.

I hope the policy is here and I hope the forum can give the best decision.

Well, I hope they keep you banned. It's so nice to see old instances of plagiarism getting caught finally.

Plagiarizing isn't just a simple mistake, it's a completely conscious action where the perpetrator knows they're doing something wrong.
There isn't a single context where plagiarism is actually a good thing.

Quoting someone and forgetting to add the source is one thing, that could be a simple mistake, but plainly copying someone's post and passing it off as your own is something different.

I got a tire account this morning, I was shocked because I didn't make any mistakes.

Oh yeah, plainly lying also isn't cool.
471  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Is there any interest for a new wallet that has a time-lock feature? on: May 18, 2019, 08:40:42 AM
They are all just basically holding it and not even looking at until about 2020.
~
I think having a wallet that has a timelock feature would be the perfect model for them.

if they are already doing that themselves then why do they need to put an additional restriction on themselves for no reason?
the timelock features, as OP mentioned, is most suited for those who have a hard time controlling themselves and want to not be able to spend their coins even if they wanted to. but such restrictions are not good for other people because you can't predict the future and you may need those funds in an emergency.

Good point and indeed, it would be a little bit strange for his family members to use a feature like this, if they can already keep themselves in check with regards to spending.
The chance of doing something wrong and getting stuck with locked coins for longer than they anticipated wouldn't be good exactly.
472  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Is there any interest for a new wallet that has a time-lock feature? on: May 16, 2019, 07:13:50 PM
@bozzy

Yeah, it would definitely be cool if regular people who are not at all well-versed with crypto could use a wallet like this, but I do see one potential problem.
Their lack of knowledge would kinda make me scared to recommend something like this, just because there's no way back once you lock your coins.

Do you think they would accept a concept like that or understand what it means?
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What kind of poker player are you? on: May 16, 2019, 02:38:28 PM
I'm definitely more of a hit&run type of player.
When I win any significant amount, I just tend to cash out and leave it at that.

I'm just not a professional player, so I'd have more chances to lose it all, instead of using that big bankroll to my advantage Tongue
474  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BTC price is much more important than USD price on: May 16, 2019, 11:43:09 AM
Yeah, I find it fairly annoying that USD prices are displayed standard on price overview sites like Coinmarketcap.
You really don't know anything with that, when you are just looking at the altcoin prices.

When people discuss crypto prices, they always do so in relation to the US dollar, however this should only be correct when discussing Bitcoin - for alts the more important metric is their price in BTC.
Why? Because it indicates their performance relative to Bitcoin, so if Bitcoin rises and alts rise too, the first thing that you have to look at is their price change in BTC - when it's negative, it means that BTC outperforms them, and the opposite if it's positive.
Bitcoin is often called the king of crypto, and rightfully so - it's more stable, more safe, has higher volumes than any other coins, so when you invest in alts, you absolutely want them to outperform BTC, otherwise you are taking unjustifiable risks and get lower profits.

But the problem is almost everything in the world is valued against Fiat money. Buy a pack of milk, biscuit, ride a metro, order a burger, receive your salary, pay your bills, almost all of them are defined against Fiat. And all of the Fiat are defined against USD. So, this loop created by the IMF and world bank is hard to break.

You've completely missed OP's point... They're saying that you cannot gauge the performance of alts by looking at the USD price, since those will automatically increase whenever BTC goes up.
Since pretty much all coins are traded against BTC.
475  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Upcoming potential ICOs/IEOs on: May 16, 2019, 10:10:40 AM
Do you really want to go down that rabbit hole again, just to find out you've been duped and the team doesn't deliver any of their promises?
The only way I'd ever invest in an ICO again is if they already have a working product and even then I'd still be very wary.

I reckon there's more money to be made by just investing in good altcoins or Bitcoin.
476  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Idea needed for my situation on: May 16, 2019, 09:54:18 AM
I give other suggestions, it's good that you buy litecoin, because this year there will be halving and the price can reach more than $ 100. It is estimated that it will occur in August.
besides that LTC will also face halving, I agree with you.
like bitcoin halving ltc will cause a significant increase. I think this is the right time to buy.
DYOR

Suggestions like these really won't help anyone, you can't predict the price, for all you know someone loses a bunch of money because they followed your advise here.
Estimations don't mean anything in the crypto world, cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile assets.

The only advice i would give to OP, is to perhaps look at other exchanges than Binance and don't actually hold any coins on there, just keep them in your own wallet.
Whenever you are ready to cash out, do so at an exchange that has trading pairs with fiat currency, not USDT.
477  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I'm against cloud miners. My arguments on: May 16, 2019, 09:07:17 AM
It's really the same with almost every scam like this, people could easily avoid losing their money, if only they would just stop throwing it away without thinking.
And yes, at this point in time I'd even say that "legitimate" cloud mining websites are pretty much the same as a straight up scam.

Through advertising, they make you believe that you can actually make a profit from it, even though you always end up with negative ROI.

Always better to just buy cryptocurrency and hold it.
478  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a value reserve? on: May 16, 2019, 08:17:22 AM
Well, if it couldn't change the world, then we wouldn't have people like this trying to make Bitcoin illegal:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-rep-sherman-calls-for-crypto-ban-says-it-threatens-to-diminish-american-power

According to him, Bitcoin is a threat to the US in a number of ways.
Here's a quote from him (from the article above):

Quote
Sherman concluded by claiming that the end result of cryptocurrencies would be not only to disempower U.S. foreign policy, but also the country’s tax collection and traditional law enforcement — and thus to utterly transform both the domestic and the global status quo.
479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How important are VIP ranks and rewards to you? on: May 16, 2019, 07:46:12 AM
When you just play for fun and do small betting then it's not important, but if you're daily gambler then its good to have that privilege, some of the VIP gives you more deposit bonus or cashback bonus, so it can become handy if you often gamble and bet with big bet

Yes, it doesn't matter to small rollers like myself. But if you are a regular to a specific gambling site and you are spending a lot of money, I think VIP and other rewards should be of advantage to you.

It really depends on what website you play, some gambling websites do allow you to rank up pretty easily without wagering a lot.
I think that you could even have a balance of like 0.001 BTC on some websites and still be able to benefit from VIP rewards, albeit small VIP rewards.
480  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Germany Plan To Establish European Blockchain Institute! Another Good News... on: May 16, 2019, 07:22:26 AM
First of all, it's always better to provide the original source of the article, instead of some aggregator website.
Here you go:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/german-state-announces-plan-to-establish-european-blockchain-institute

The article does raise a good point, Europe is behind the US when it comes to developments in the blockchain space.
I'd say something like this is long overdue, they should have founded a European blockchain institute years ago IMO.
