221  Other / Beginners & Help / What is the difference between PoW and PoS ? on: April 24, 2018, 10:30:12 AM
PoW (Proof of Work) also known as work proof algorithm. This algorithm helps miners solve mathematical equations in Bitcoin digging. There are many ways to solve math equations, but the system chooses only the best answer. The Blockchain system can not be fooled because it contains a list of the most appropriate answers.

PoS ( Proof of Stake) or stock evidence algorithm occurs when a miner contributes to a particular currency to verify the transaction. The proof of stake algorithm is quite simple for computers because you only need to prove that you own a share of that currency. For example, if you own 5% of the existing Ethereum copper flow, you have the right to exploit all 5% of the Ethereum transaction.

Proof of stake is considered a fairer system than proof-of-work when everyone can become a miner. No matter large or small, the scale of exploitation will be linearly proportional to the number of shares held. This encourages the community to engage in transactional verification, increasing decentralization and democracy.
222  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: EOS is next Ethereum on: April 24, 2018, 09:50:14 AM
EOS has replaced Litecoin (LTC) at No. 5 on CoinMarketCap, when it was priced at over $ 11. EOS made significant headlines earlier this month when it announced an attractive event on April 15. The terms of the airdrop stipulate that holders of more than 100 EOS will receive an equivalent number of eosDAC tokens. eosDAC is the token ERC-20 will transition to the EOS platform after launch in early June. It is possible that eosDAC tokens will also provide DAPP-based services and network members can use the convenience helpful. Predictions for the April 15th event triggered a spike in the value of the EOS
223  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Top 5 promising crypto in the second quarter of 2018 on: April 24, 2018, 06:35:53 AM
1. OYSTER
Oyster promises passive income for website owners and non-advertised browsing. But most importantly, it can reach many people. This can create a viral effect when small creators try and find success, at which point larger publications begin to notice. Everyone accept Oyster and PRL can happen quickly.
2. ONTOLOGY
The biggest news for Ontology in the second quarter was the launch of the official network. This opens up the development process for the public and outlines the tools for creating the application provided by the team. Application creation can start seriously when the official network is released, a move likely to draw much attention to the ONT token.
3. ICON
The team has a Q1 2018 performance with the launch of ICON Mainnet 1.0, ICONex digital wallet issuer, and signing of partnerships with several new exchanges.
In Q2 and Q3 2018, the group will focus on four key areas: banking, education, insurance and health care. Field-specific tools are set up for release along with ICON's efforts to expand into new partnerships.
4. NANO
With the growing attention to high energy consumption issues surrounding top cryptocoins, the Nano is poised to express itself as a substitute and friendly. The roadmap is also filled with extended-oriented updates that will promote vendor acceptance, sales and storage.
5. STELLAR
The Lightning Network addresses an important issue for any blockchain project: scalability. Since Stellar is aiming to break the world of financial transactions, implementing this can be a huge effort. Lightning was pushed to Stellar's network on April 1 and will be released in December. If all goes well, it could attract a great deal of attention to XLM.

So people often look for things they do not know because of curiosity. Bitcoin is still something new to everyone. So people looking for it is also normal.
225  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your list of best ICO of this year 2018 on: April 23, 2018, 04:28:46 PM
I would suggest that you look at CARDSTACK, which is a pretty good token.
The coin has open-source code, and the project is crowdfunded on Bitcoin Suisse, which is known for its rigorous review.
The cardstack is a good idea but I think it lasts too long so I think this is not a viable project.
226  Other / Beginners & Help / Differentiates Token ERC20 and Standard Token on: April 23, 2018, 05:51:15 AM
If you pay attention, the address of the token using ERC20 technology will be assigned 0x and these Tokens are purchased with Ethereum (ETH). These types of tokens can be stored in your MyEtherWallet wallet (and some of the other wallets below) easily and share your ETH wallet address.

When you access an Ethereum wallet application, you can show the tokens you are holding, and these ERC20 assets are shared with the same address as your Ethereum address. All ERC20 tokens are traded on the Ethereum network. An ETH address is also the address of the token.

Tokens that use ERC20 technology when you want to send someone a small fee for each transaction. However, the processing speed for each transaction is extremely fast, and other types of Token can not be compared. One advantage of the ERC20 technology is the combination of intelligent contracts. This will help you to secure the transaction, in case you send the Token to someone else but wrong address, then this technology will report the address of the wallet and you can not send the Token to others.
227  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH vs ADA on: April 22, 2018, 05:46:40 PM
I think EOS is the Destroyer of Ethereum, with many noteworthy features, the future for this platform will be bright if the latter team can execute properly. Their mainnet is scheduled to launch in June, 1818, with more features than the ETH, it will occupy a significant market share of ETH in the future.

229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: which is the best bounty site ? on: April 21, 2018, 03:16:33 PM
I usually visit the website: https://bountyplatform.io/ to find the best bounty. This Webstie updates the bounty very fast and continuously. You can go here looking for the bounty that suits you
230  Economy / Economics / Re: The best way to manage free money on: April 20, 2018, 03:13:07 PM
I think you should not "put all the eggs in one basket". You should divide your investment into at least 4 items: bank, gold, real estate, cryptocurency

If it costs more then it will lose its competitive advantage with other forms of remittance such as bank, paypal, ...
The advantage is still there which there will be no 3rd parties involved for each individuals transaction.


Every bitcoin deal we have to deal with the miners. Are the miners here considered 3rd parties?

233  Other / Beginners & Help / Why is Blockchain so slow? on: April 19, 2018, 02:43:38 AM
The blockchain works very slowly. Not only that, it is very expensive when dealing on this network. If I had to send you some Bitcoin, it would take a few hours to receive them, and I had to pay a large transaction fee. With how to do this, Blockchain alone can balance the world of cryptocurency here?
234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC at end of bounty campaign on: April 17, 2018, 03:38:54 PM
This is also a means to show that this is a serious project but should request from the beginning of the program. Just to end the new program, KYC is not fair to those who can not pass KYC for some reason.
235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is Big in Japan on: April 17, 2018, 07:28:15 AM
Japan is a crypto-friendly government. The Japanese government is very supportive of crypto. I think that because Japan is a country with few mineral resources, cough will choose to develop digital assets such as crypto
236  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how to earn Bitcoin without investing?? on: April 17, 2018, 06:47:06 AM
You can find forum-based services such as signatures, blogging about crypto (if you have the skills to write), bounties management, etc. In general, there are many ways to earn bitcoin in the forum.
237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much time do you spend on bounty campaigns? on: April 17, 2018, 04:33:27 AM
I usually use my free time to do bounty. I just joined the signature program so it does not take too long. I do not know how much profit can be made.
238  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: This is why the ICO & bounty era is almost over on: April 17, 2018, 04:01:21 AM
I've noticed quite some changes in ICOs and bounties:

- The whole market is flooded with BS projects
- There are way too many ICOs
- Teams are often fake
- Telegram groups of 25k people don't mean a thing
- Hardcaps aren't reached anymore.  Remember a few months ago when some ico's were sold out in minutes?  When does that still happen?  It doesn't... the contrary is happening: icos last for months and months
- Bounties: they sell them by their hardcap number at the price of the last stage.  For example: 4 million USD bounty!  That is IF all 400.000.000 tokens are sold AND you could sell them at the last price of 0.1$ which you never will.
- Bounties/caps are often calculated in eth and for some reason ico-people still think 1 eth is 1000$.  Wake up and smell the news!  1 eth is less than half of that!
- Nobody is buying tokens anymore
- They lie about how many tokens are sold
- Private investors... don't make me laugh.  There are no private investors....  If there were, they would be bragging about which ones which they don't.  ALL lies and more lies.

EDIT: (since most posters only read the OP):  That's why:

- Every ICO team member should do a mandatory KYC so everybody can find these people when the shit hits the fan.
- Vitaliks DAICO idea with escrowed funds that are released when certain goals on the roadmap are met.
- Pay bounties in eth/btc/fiat and not in tokens
- Team tokens should be locked for a year (a lot do this already).
- Delete Telegram as a whole  Grin (no j/k I don't like chat groups of 50k people, they are useless)

EDIT2:

I invested in a lot of ico's last summer.  Most of them made profits, sometimes huge profits.  When the market turned red, I stopped investing money and started investing time.  I turned to bounty hunting (mostly translation jobs, some sig).  By doing that I read a lot of WP, did a lot of research on teams and websites and then it started to occur to me that there are A LOT of fake teams, fake linkedins, vaporware products that only consist of marketing. 

I always wonder: how is it possible that if they present you a team of so called experts with years of relevant experience in IT, financial industry, marketing, etc that in most cases these people are nowhere to be found prior to the ico?  You google them: nothing, you search for their pictures: nothing, you google the companies they so called worked for: you can't find them (you can find the companies but you can't find evidence that they worked there).  There are only a few ico's that I participated in (with a bounty) that were 100% transparant, where you could actually find the people aboard.  Neufund was one of them.  Most of the times those icos are the ones with hardly any bonuses, no pre-sales, no months long ico's, no facebook and telegram lemmings who try to shill a product and team they don't know.

I agree with you now ICO too much, although I only joined this market from August in 2017 but I noticed the ICO in 2017 and the ICO in 2018 has a lot of difference.
239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty managers. on: April 17, 2018, 02:24:32 AM
The bonus managers only set rules for participation so they will only answer you about rules and results. They do not have much information about the project. They may have received too many messages so they have not responded yet.

I usually use the opera mini browser as it seems less malicious than other browsers, to be more comfortable you should add metamask
