Hm, not sure, you might want to post this issue here:

According to this IT is still in design phase, because it depends on TF. Not sure about funding though, there are other priority features on the list, TF/IT is promised to come before the end of November, but after other features have been implemented.

Well, they already took it in the past few years, kindly or not, doesn't matter.
There is a choice: to write off losses and shut half of the banks overnight together with all depositors' funds because most banks will then have a lot of failed assets on their books and effectively become bankrupt right there or print money to make that debt smaller through inflation. Google 'hyperinflation episodes in the history of money', they always chose the latter in the past.

In Bitshares users vote for a pre-defined number of delegates (forgers in NXT terms).

In NXT it's a randomized process of who forges the next block and there is no pre-defined number of forgers, no voting.

When TF is enabled, the system will be able to predict who forges the next block, but it should still stay randomized as to choosing a forger. Predicting the next forger makes it possible to implement Instant Transactions.

Well, obviously, decentralized is better, because that's the general and primary purpose of crypto currencies, isn't it?

In designing a crypto special emphasis should be on keeping it as decentralized as possible, keeping it as close to peer-to-peer model as possible instead of designing something similar to server-client model, which leads to centralization, but gives an advantage of short block times.

BitsharesX is not designed to be decentralized, that's why their block time is very small, only 10 seconds. Just like Ripple has a 15 second block time. In fully decentralized systems block times with less than 1 minute result in a high number of orphan blocks.

Sounds like fun, but a 20 GB blockchain in 6 months?

Sure it will result in inflation.
But not printing money will result in quick collapse of the banking system, because failed banks' shares and bonds are other banks' assets, the entire banking system is interconnected.
So it's either quick death or slow blood shed in the form of printing money and resulting inflation. The past history shows that in almost 100% of similar situations the slow blood shed was chosen, no reason to expect otherwise this time.

Yes, it is. PM me if interested.

Well, 90-95% NXT obviously.
5-10% split between NEM, Qora, BitsharesX as backup should NXT fail for some reason.
Others are not worth considering yet.

CryptoNote is not Generation 2.0, it's more like generation 1.5.

Exactly! Speaking of which, where do you see the trend is up? Mid-term trend has been going sideways, long-term trend is still down or at least bottoming, uptrend hasn't started yet (breakout above $700 would signal the start of uptrend).

Oh, I got it, you must be talking about noise price fluctuations, lasting days and or weeks at the longest. I see now, you're a day-trader.

That's just some noise. Crypto currencies are supposedly here to change the world, then, you should look at yearly performance, that has more relation to changing the world than a few days/weeks of noise price fluctuations.

Who takes who depends on how active the community is at this point and development efforts of course. It doesn't depend on miners.

If Dogecoin stops development, including external infrastructure, apps, etc. and the community gets bored, then Dogecoin will die.

Same is true for Litecoin.

Well, it's not obvious the price will go up by the end of the year, but it's a very realistic possibility.

Of course, pm for details if you're interested.

Quarterly and yearly performance are standard milestones in forex, stock market and commodities trading as far as I know.

But I know that in pump-n-dump cryptos it's days and weeks that count

Dogecoin.

Measuring performance by month is for pump-n-dump kind of trading, isn't it?

It's not losing popularity, but it's not gaining it fast enough for the price to reflect it.

There are two scenarios I envisage for the near future.

Optimistic: price stays around $550-650 for the next 2 months and then starts slow gradual rise to the previous ATH ($1000-1200) and will reach it by summer 2015.

Pessimistic: price goes to $400-450 where it finds strong support, and then starts slower gradual rise to the previous ATH ($1000-1200) and will reach it by the end of 2015.

Could be somewhere in between these two scenarios.
