161  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO Exit scams have stolen more than 100M USD on: August 21, 2018, 04:40:17 AM
Unfortunately that is true. Because many investors who want to make quick profit without doing some due diligence first.
I think there must be some company that regulate every ICO in blockchain. So they can ensure that the project ICO is real and not a scam.
162  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can actually Bitcoin be good for the environment? on: August 20, 2018, 03:09:32 AM
A lot has been said about mining and about the electricity consumption of the activities related to bitcoin mining. However, I have thought of the alternatives and how other systems produce not just energy waste, but also plenty of useless work and "human waste".

To have a network that can ensure the completeness of transactions, the global accessibility and all the features that bitcoins, and many alts, have at the moment, would probable produce a huge carbon footprint. Just think of the VISA system or the banking system... the amount of people working on it, the waste of commuting to works, the infrastructure.

Thinking of all that, would you still say Bitcoin is bad for the environment?

Bitcoin mining is not too affecting environment in a harmful way. Mining only need some resources like electricity, and just produce heat.
cryptocurrency mining will stay good for environment unless there are some wrong way to generate electricity that producing harmful waste products.

Hello guys, in 2009 I saved some btc in one of the software promos where satoshi nakamoto sent them directly, do any of you know the name of that software or where can I find it?


What do you mean software promos ? Your software promos could have been used by other peoples who running the promotion.
anyway, i think it was scam promotion for they to promote the software and you were participating on that. But it is only my opinion.
164  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FIAT rewards for bounty hunters. on: August 19, 2018, 02:50:33 PM

Hello all members!
I am a bounty hunter, as well as many of you  Smiley Wink
And I heard that bounty hunters dump the coin price at the ico end.
So I was wondering, if the team doesn't want its coins to be sold on exchange date and thus be dumped, why they reward bounty hunters with their token, not FIAT.
Because they anyway accept fiat for selling the tokens, so the coin won't be dumped by bounty hunters, and bounty hunters are satisfied too.
Because those who need money, they have it, those who want tokens, can buy it at exchange etc.

This may be a good idea. The dump price of the tokens can make investors lose confidence. This way is to prevent that.
Another way that can be used by the dev to prevent dump is by buyback their tokens that sold with cheap price.
165  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should buy altcoin now? on: August 19, 2018, 02:32:08 PM

Looking at the market at the moment, there has been an increase in altcoin from a low of $ 5900 at the end of June 2018 to $ 8200 today. However, the value of the altcoin did not increase, some of it decreased. Percentage of market capitalization of the current bitcoin compared to the overall market is over 47%. Is this the right time to buy altcoin to make a profit?

You should buy altcoins when the price falling. But for some peoples, they prefer to buy when the price rising because they want to make quick profit.
I think if you buy when the price rising, it will be the same as speculating because you wont know that the coin will keep rising or stop rising.
166  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who controls the crypto market? on: August 18, 2018, 03:41:23 PM
I have been following the crypto scene for the past year and sometimes even though some companies do well their token price drastically goes down and this is the same with btc too. People like john mcafee and roger ver are always talking about how we should get ready for the bullish market but yet the price keeps on decreasing and so i'm asking how and who controls the price. If there is anyone who might be running it?

There must be some peoples who can control the price of crypto. Imagine if you have the huge amount of crypto coins, you can dump they anytime and making the market falling. Even the whales can join together to manipulate the market. This is very possible to occurred in the market.
167  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can I make money (no scam) on: August 17, 2018, 10:15:11 AM
anyone knows how to make money online

Leave a comment below

If you want easier way to make money in crypto online, you need some money to start.
The quickest way to get coins is by mining it. Go buy some mining equipments and set it for mining in the pool.
Other way than mining is quite not easy to do and risky, such as trading or buying coins to hold.
168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: we are very close to the end of the dumps (aka bottoms) on: August 16, 2018, 03:12:36 AM
not because i think dumps are over, they are still going on. but i say this because now after about 8 months people have finally accepted the fact that the altcoins are getting dumped.

so far, for instance a month ago, if you asked them "is this the bottom" then they would have said yes, and expected the price to rise up soon to the moon,... then they got dumped on while bag holding.
but now that they have accepted the inevitable the dumps can go on more smoothly and we can reach the bottoms so much faster because bag holders are letting go of their bags now.

and we all know that in order to rise back up price needs to hit the bottom first.

Well, cryptocurrency is often unpredictable. It could be not the end and still dropping later. I believe many of us want to see crypto rise.
The sure thing is, when there is a spiking or falling market, there will be correction market after that.
169  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto is not for people who want permanent money! on: August 16, 2018, 03:00:05 AM
Hey guys, I think crypto is not for guys who want to earn money fast, or become rich in a few month. If you invest in crypto you have to wait and work hard to take part in bounties in time!

If you want to make money fast with small capital, just use your money for gambling in the casino. Cryptocurrency is a currency, if you want to invest with it, you must wait for long time because for me it is a long term investment. You can see by the chart of crypto price, cryptocurrency still uptrend in long time range.
170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto down trend market on: August 15, 2018, 04:28:22 AM
All the major currencys are down. What's your opinion on the upcoming market situation?

all major altcoins are down indeed, but in my opinion, this could be only temporary. The down market like this won't be seen anymore later, if the big parties come to buy. Usually there will be some correction after spiking price, and after the crashing price as well.
171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Day traders OUT! IN pure crypto holders. on: August 14, 2018, 02:02:49 AM
Now that market seems always falling down these will prevent day traders to day trade crypto which relatively most of the money from the investors will going to end up day trading with some of the individuals who were always looking after at the graph of crypto market price movement. Now I think they should better be gone. Without these day traders market price could go a good increase all the way. I hope they will not come back.

I think day traders still able to gain the profit if they expert in trading effectively.
But most of them must be in pain because trading in this kind of bloody market on altcoins.
btc is not too affected by this bear market.
172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there a 2 way factor for bitcoin and ERC20 digital wallet? on: August 13, 2018, 11:20:35 AM
It is an ideal for every digital wallet to secured the cypto inside to it by doing a two way factor to affirm the transfer of crypto from the wallet to another digital wallet. A phone number could be which will be registered to that digital wallet and every time you will do transfer the process should ask a code that is being sent from your phone number in order to proceed. In this way hackers could not get the crypto that easily because you are holding the code on your phone before it will be transferred. Is there any digital wallet like this for bitcoin and ERC20 digital wallet?

Yes it will be very convenience to having a 2fa security in our personal wallet, but i think you cannot do that in your own wallet.
Usually 2fa feature available only in the exchange. Some peoples use exchange wallet more than personal wallet because they think it is more secure.
173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mining Bitcoin Using Free Electricity on: August 13, 2018, 10:48:57 AM
https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/08/12/students-are-mining-bitcoin-in-university-dorms-campuses-are-alert/

Never though of this when I'm still in school but this is clearly profitable given the free source of electricity. I was so amazed by the creativity and intellect of those students taking advantage of the situation.  Grin

I don't have much knowledge about cyber security, is it really possible that the school's network will be compromised due to students mining activities using the schools internet connection? Will there be any legal charges if the students will get caught? Share me your thoughts.

I think if you mining in some pool with no secure system, your network can exposed to some hacking.
Always using a reliable mining pool when you mining because usually they have a high security system in their pool
174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Keep safe your Bitcoin from hacker on: August 12, 2018, 01:23:13 PM
To keep your bitcoin safe, you will need to careful with the email you received. Usually hackers can give a shady link in your email.
That's why you must keep your email hidden and not publicly shared because hackers can get into your wallet by the email.

176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is product important for a project? on: August 11, 2018, 11:14:20 AM
Guys, how do you think, is a ready-made product important for ICO project?

In my opinion, it is, because it can show investors that the team is ready to bring huge results and has future plans.

As an example - KickCity, event platform where each user is rewarded for event promotion. You can try it today. More information you can find here  https://medium.com/@kickcity_io/kickcity-public-beta-5aa66fafc5c7

It maybe important for some peoples because they want to avoid scam icos. To ensure they are contributing in a real ICO, a product is required to convince them. But for other peoples who know the ICO is good and legit, they dont need the project at first.
177  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins to Invest? on: August 11, 2018, 10:44:09 AM
Which will be the best altcoin to invest this year? It was ripple last year where investors got the jackpot with a short term investment and I think stellar will be the altcoin to look after this year and what are your opinions?

You can invest in ETH. If you have it, you can either hold it for long term, or use it to participating ICO's.
My opinion about investing in crypto, always know the coin what you want to buy. Because when you don't know the coin, it may will end to be a sh*tcoin.
178  Other / Archival / Re: EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT CRYPTOCURRENCY on: August 10, 2018, 02:12:54 AM
    If you take an assessment, a lot of citizens are not yet informative what is cryptocurrency is....like bitcoin and other altcoins. One proof is that others can be deceived by swindlers because of lack of knowledge regarding crypto currencies. . They invest with the wrong people because of considering in unfounded information and hearsays.
   Educating people regarding crypto will not make them to mislead. Educators can teach about crypto inside school especially in economic subject/s because it has a big role nowadays.
    As Tom Emmer stated, “ People tend to fear what they don’t know. If people sailing the oceans at the time of Columbus had believed the world is flat, we wouldn’t have had the great discoveries of the New World.”

(https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/venture-capital-working-group-seeks-select-cryptocurrency-safe-harbor/)


Yes, education is important for newcomers and beginners in crypto. It will help them to make a better understanding.
Peoples who don't know about crypto usually will spreading fud and negativity only about cryptocurrency.
179  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to make cash without investing? on: August 09, 2018, 03:33:55 AM
How can I earn cash without investing? Can I earn a thousand dollars without investing or buying first?

Try to look job that paid in cryptocurrency. In this forum, you can search for sevices section to find some offered tasks.
another way to do is by participating on bounty campaign. You can try if you have much time.
180  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How long will this bear market continue? on: August 09, 2018, 03:17:52 AM
I'm just hodling since the January drop. Stupid me I didn't sell enough of my coins that time. Just wondering what are you guys doing. Still holding or you pulled out your investments in the mean time?

If i remembered, cryptocurrency price was decreased in jan 2018 after the hype in last year. When did you buy your coin ?
Many peoples bought crypto when hyping, and many of them i think already sell and left cryptocurrency because this bear market stay long.
It is no use if you pull out your investment at this bottom market.
