But that's not the only reason why I am buying. BTC is still a good buy even if it moves sideways for the next 5 years. I like the idea carrying all your wealth with you where ever you go. Just memorize your seed and your brain is your bank.

I strongly recommend you do not carry all of it in your head.

I sent my earned incents to my waves wallet a month ago. I browsed with four different accounts, one after another, and then sent all to one waves address. But I received only one transaction (from address 3PEgFrVJw8oaPHmas4pYTG6mWZiESSkfJXC). Three other transactions did not came.
I did not think that I did something wrong if I browsed with different accs, if this is the case. At least there were just four. Is it the reason to take away my incents?  Smiley

Well, it is against the terms and conditions, but I'm not sure what the reason is - have you contacted support?

'Golden cross' is typically taken as a very significant indicator of long-term trend and is daily 200/50 MA. We're still a long way from that.
On the 4h, a cross of the 200/50 is imminent, which is a bullish signal for the shorter term.
It's a lagging indicator, and I expect it would take another 2-4 months to see a golden cross even if the markets have turned around.

if so, I hope this project is resolved soon, because the current level of blockchain immunity is needed to avoid the hands of criminals who want to destroy it

Cool project, and good to see some well-established members of the crypto world behind it Smiley good luck

r0ach  activity increased -  usually means fairly bullish.
bearish poll results> bullish
increasing bearish mood on the forum- bullish
unfilled  futures gap - bullish
chart technically due for small up corection - slightly bullish
me trying to make up reasons for price rise - bearish..

conclusion. we will likely go up this week


We need badly spelled troll messages with the same two-colour chart posted repeatedly. We need igorr.
Or shroomskit, with his particular brand of trolling.
When they disappear, you know it's on.

I read through the Tether manipulation paper. IMO it made two convincing points:

#1 Someone has a habit of doing this:
 - Issuing new USDT
 - Within days, moving that USDT to BitFinex, Bittrex, and/or Poloniex
 - Using that USDT to buy crypto (seemingly a portfolio of BTC & others). They especially like to buy crypto when the price is just below whole numbers.
 - Moving the resulting crypto back to BitFinex
 - Rarely or never selling the crypto for USDT again
 
The authors argue that this is Tether/BitFinex themselves, and I think that this is in fact the most likely explanation. But the authors didn't address the alternative possibility of this being a particularly ham-fisted whale who is a close partner of Tether.
Bitfinex has been tailoring their operations over the past year and a half or so to appeal to institutions, and apparently have attracted a decent number of institutional customers. Also, if you believe their published orderbook, their BTC/fiat orderbook is by far the most liquid among exchanges. Bitfinex also has an OTC trading desk that apparently has been fairly successful (when a trader buys BTC via OTC from bitfinex, then the OTC trading desk will be effectively short BTC [at an above market basis], and will need to buy BTC to cover their position).

With the above being said (using made up numbers), if someone wanted to 5000 BTC at no more than 102% of the current trading price, they might be able to buy up 4000 BTC on the bitfinex orderbook at that price, but if the orderbook of poloniex and bittrex are also used, they might be able to buy the entire 5000 BTC they want. This could be done by an institutional trader, or by bitfinex themselves to cover an effective short position caused by an OTC trade.

Unfortunately, I am unable to account for the month end price decline issue. Maybe this is noise, maybe there is some other explanation, or maybe the authors are right. I would tend to think this is probably noise.  


I've thought for a long time that USDT is almost certainly a scam, and this paper makes me think so even more. Though I was actually a little surprised that this provides evidence (via the end-of-month trading) that USDT ever had any real USD.
Bitmex published a research report on tether this past February in which they found a bank in Puerto Rico they believe is likely holding the USD deposits of tether and bitfinex, as according to publicly available data (that I believe is not available in real time), had USD deposits grow at rates above the growth of USDT in circulation.

Further, tether has shown what is nearly proof of funds in the amount of ~$442 million as of September 2017, which exceeded the amount of USDT in circulation at the time.

The late months of Mt Gox showed what happens when customers are unable to withdraw USD from an exchange -- the price trades at a premium to other exchanges. Gox customers would deposit BTC into their Gox account, sell their BTC, request a USD withdrawal, and eventually cancel their USD withdrawal use that USD to purchase BTC to withdraw and eventually deposit and sell on another exchange. In the case of bitfinex, the USD price of BTC is almost always the same (for all intents and purposes -- it is generally within 30 basis points) of other major exchanges.

Kind Regards

I'm almost certain that the scam is a slightly different one than originally thought.
1. Create USDT
2. Buy BTC with unbacked USDT, pumping prices
3. Sell BTC at higher prices on OTC, or GDAX
4. Bank fiat, retrospectively backing newly-created USDT
5. Ta-da! Tether is fully backed

This explains anecdotal reports of Tether/Finex bank accounts being stuffed full of cash, but also shady behaviour. They cannot audit, not because they don't have the funds but because they arrived in the wrong order.

BTC related question:


I geus were on a correction? From €66xx back to €63xx

Damn when are we going to explode upwards

Long term rising support line at ~€6,000. Climbing at a little more than €200 per week.
Resistance around €6,800.
So probably 2-3 weeks, maximum, before something significant has to happen.

(I converted $ to € for you but not sure what 2-3 weeks is in European equivalent. Do you guys use metric or Unix time?)

I do like Hayek's approach. Particularly apt since it looks like Sunday's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for monetary reform in Switzerland will be voted down.

Hi ad!
How long does it take to transfer from INCENT to my WAVES wallet? I transfer the first time from INCENT to WAVES very fast, but the second time I have not received (more than 20 hours).
Thanks you!

Will check that for you.
Thank you, I recieved it. How long does this toolbar chrome end?

We're still deciding that. It's days are numbered in its current form but it may well be repurposed into something cool.

Hello
I'm nob how do I get ICO coins?
I gave you a Wave address, but nothing happened !!!
What's the problem.??
What to do?
Who should I be looking for?


When exactly did you send your Waves address, and who did you send it to?

on the ICO site 1 year ago.

Are you in our Slack? I'm not sure if anything can be done this late, but that's the right place to find out.

Hey incent team,

when will i get my promised incent token bonus from encryptotel ico sale? I waited for this over one year. Nothing is good at all. No promises was hold and all you ever said was fake and dump.

Tokens were sent to EncryptoTel long ago. You're asking in the wrong thread.
135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][INCNT] Incent Loyalty | Waves Token | Traded on Bittrex on: May 13, 2018, 11:06:20 AM
The Incent marketplace is a nice touch. Few tokens have real demand drivers. Can you confirm the number of merchants signed up already where Incent can be earned?

At this point we're using affiliates within the marketplace - you can shop with around 290 retailers. We'll use that to establish demand and as a marketing tool to go out to brands and integrate directly. We're in discussions with several and will let you know when agreements are inked. Having now launched the marketplace, we're now in a position to start closing those and have a team working on it very actively.
136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][INCNT] Incent Loyalty | Waves Token | Traded on Bittrex on: May 11, 2018, 09:19:20 AM
The Incent marketplace is live! https://beta.incentloyalty.com/
You can now send your Incent internally to other users, or withdraw it to an external Waves wallet.
You won't need KYC for either of those, since they just involve crypto. (When we integrate the ability to buy Incent within the toolbar, that will be a fiat-to-crypto transaction and so will need KYC.)
The idea is to iron out any minor glitches, take it out of beta and then start signing up businesses. We'll be at CeBIT next week (http://www.cebit.com.au/) and there are already lots of leads in the pipeline. Obviously we can't discuss these before they're agreed, but we hope that when we start announcing them they'll be coming thick and fast.
In the meantime, please check out the marketplace and give the dev team your appreciation - hopefully you'll agree it's looking pretty amazing.

Are you sure you want to host this via waves platform?
Please review your options.
Not so many people are adept with waves.
Aside from the fact that they are not active in trading business.

I'd say Waves is absolutely the right platform for this use case. There are many reasons for that, including fast and cheap txs and easy token creation. That's going to be pretty important for HOLDVEST as they create tradeable index funds and burn tokens collected as fees. I can't see that would work on Ethereum very well; it would require a different business model.
But as said above, the blockchain itself barely matters. It's all going to be under the hood in the HOLDVEST platform anyway. What matters is that it works efficiently. You won't need to interact directly with the blockchain in question unless you specifically choose to.

I thought everything here is fine but when I saw that this is in waves platform, I doubt this will really push thru. Waves assets are too damn difficult to rise their prices or better yet get a real value. Eth tokens sometimes have greater chance of pulling it off. But waves? Maybe 1%. Dev team has still the time to review their decisions here as it is still on its pre-ico stage.

This seems an odd comment. There's no denying that Ethereum has a larger community and a market cap perhaps 100x more, which makes a big difference on the speculative secondary market. But you're talking about a $5m cap platform with working software and a unique proposal, and a token model that will be driven by fundamentals (real-time buyback and burn using fees). I like Ethereum, I think it's a pretty amazing platform, but it's just not designed for this kind of mass-market application. The tx fees alone on Ethereum would kill any application like HOLDVEST.

Can we invest ETH or LSK? or we only need BTC/waves to participate in the ico?

Btc, Waves and some plutonium to power your time machine.

I like this coin because so many updates and progress goes smoothly with its communicative developer.
But I am worried about a market that only has a small volume. Bittrex could have removed this coin if the volume did not rise.

Try add to a new exchange, eg Binance or Kucoin. That will increase the volume as well as the price.
We have put a lot of effort into our Bittrex market and given the recent de-listings (which we survived) I would say the probability of a de-listing is rather small.

And by the way, a listing on Binance costs hundreds of thousands if not more; not worth it at this point if you ask me.

Yes: I hear that listing on Binance will cost you a cool $500,000. Many others have similar fees. Not a good investment at this point.

So we can say that after mass adoption market listings can be thought even they cost a lot? Or what are criterias they you're waiting?

With mass adoption, why would you need to pay $500,000 for listings? So long as you have exchanges enough to support a liquid market, you can do the job you need to do. If other exchanges want a piece of the action, they can list it.
Hype without a product is the scourge of the crypto world. More exchanges does nothing useful for long-term success without actual working tech and real adoption.
