Is there such a thing as unbiased experts in crypto currencies? Names? Most have vested interest in their own crypto of choice, with Bitcoin having the largest share of such experts on its side. It's like mainstream economists, the economy is falling apart, but they've been trained in this system and they don't know or don't want to know anything else, and are in defense of the broken ship, and want to keep the status quo.

Fortunately, miners are only 0.00001% of the population. The rest have to buy coins, and they don't have a concern if it's PoW or PoS as long as it does what they need it to.

He could apply for a bounty at nxtforum.org I believe. In NXTs, of course

It's very likely it will be stopped at $550 and then go back to $650.
If not that, then $400-450 should be the lowest under a pessimistic scenario.

There is no point in competing on the basis of "more fairness than in X coin", it will still be unfair to 7 billion people out there, no matter how you slice it.

Only newbs, most likely indulged by safety nets of socialism, believe that fairness is possible, well, those newbs don't have much funds to invest anyway or to keep the coin going and only looking to quickly cash out to support their spending habits.

He's a funny dude has no clue about the value of things.

Bruteforcing a bad wallet password has nothing to do with hacking NXT as a technology.

8 months

Can't wait for NXT to be hacked, bring it on!

Decentralized java crypto platform, like NXT, isn't exactly a simple Java app, and if it lacked security, someone would have broken it already

Let's see, the new release will make NXT unique again.

NXT wasn't unique in the sense that Counterparty and Mastercoin (in the past few months) and Bitshares (in the past few days) had similar functionality in terms of a decentralized asset exchange (we won't argue advantages and disadvantages of each of those here).

But now that NXT introduces Digital Goods Store, set to be enabled around August 8-9th according to this tweet, that distinguishes it from every other crypto platform out there and makes it a cutting-edge technology.

If getting 1000x return was that easy, everyone would be filthy rich Lessons of greed are not free.

So what makes you think you're not a bagholder with bitcoins only? History? Bwahaha

Those who know about bitcoin:

Because they are poor and don't have any wealth to store, and for the little savings they might have they prefer dollars, because dollars are most liquid and everyone accepts them (google the story on the last argentinian crisis from 14 years ago, it's been quite popular, this dude was telling how they managed to survive there) .
And because they can't buy anything with bitcoins domestically, thus don't see much value in them.

But I would bet most argentinians don't even have internet access to even hear about bitcoin.

The only way to solve it is default on debt obligations or printing money/taxing (bail-outs/bail-ins) citizens. Or a combination of all those means. In any case it will be a nasty looking affair.

"Do not invest in IPOs" is good advice.

Another one would be - investigate thoroughly if the crypto you invest in has anything new that distinguishes it from the bunch of others and if it has shown good resilience to attacks, and if the developers are adequate, psychologically stable and hard workers.

Following just these two points will help avoid most scams.

Fantomcoin forked off the same Bytecoin code as other CN coins, I can't imagine it's so perfect it doesn't need fixes applied to it just like other CN coins apply them

The number of commits to the source code doesn't reveal any hard work though (compared to the number of commits in Monero or Boolberry)

https://github.com/amphibia/fantomcoin/commits/master

is Fantomcoin abandoned by the developer?

How about adding NXT?

You're one greedy bagholder )

Only after you pay the dower 

Paying the dower would be the closest equivalent of a crypto developer's releasing alpha version of the software to live net and running it for 2 months without breaking anything
