121  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Vertcoin in $2 range a buy? on: October 25, 2017, 06:04:42 PM
Vertcoin has been catching my eye lately.

Great community
Been around since 2014
No premine
Reasonable supply
Atomic swap
Some form of anonymity

It seems like a good old fashion crypto like Litecoin or Bitcoin. Nothing too complicated or overpromising.

Some of these ICO coins barely have a reason to exist. It is as if the project team just makes a coin because...you need a coin or token. But the coin or token serves no real function.

Vertcoin is a cryptocurrency. Plain and simple.

I’m thinking about buying a few hundred if it goes back into the $2-$3 range. I mean litecoin hit $85, Vertcoin could hit $20 at least. Why not?
122  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Could Peercoin be the next Vertcoin? on: October 22, 2017, 02:10:39 PM
There's a nominal 2 billion coin limit that'll probably never be reached.

I think they're aiming for 1% annual inflation which is more sensiblethan a hard cap for something that aims to be used.

Correct, 100 years from this day = supply @ 65 989 280



Ok...that’s good. So why is Peercoin not capable of being the next Vertcoin? Something tells me Vertcoin is going up because it has that atomic swap buzz as a spark. Could Peercoin go in that direction?
123  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Could Peercoin be the next Vertcoin? on: October 22, 2017, 01:54:04 PM
Considering how innovative it's been I've never understood how it dwindled.

It's on all the right exchange, lots of pedigree and a clever developer.

But that don't seem to count for much right now. I guess someone needs to ico its ass.

Even though litecoin was dead for years it still had alot of visibility.

Ppc feels like a long shot but shouldn't be.

Am I wrong that it has no hard cap on its max supply?
124  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Could Peercoin be the next Vertcoin? on: October 22, 2017, 01:38:12 PM
What I mean by that is a well established crypto, with a nice fan base and a lower supply that gets its second wind.

Vertcoin has it going on right now. It’s got a reasonable capped supply, great fan base, and experimenting with atomic swap.

I can see it entering top 10 as the bronze to litecoin silver and bitcoin’s gold. It’s a no nonsense low concept crypto. A solid competitor to bitcoin.

If not Peercoin than any other suggestions? Has to be well established.
125  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Why is anyone pretending that Bitconnect is not a scam? on: October 20, 2017, 06:16:47 PM
I do not understand how there is even a debate on whether Bitconnect is a scam? This 1.5Billion market cap altcoin is so clearly and transparently a scam I am perplexed as to why there is even a debate?

Money doesn’t just fall from the sky.

And who are these “lenders?” “Lending platform”

“lending” is the new nonsense word for ponzu scheme.

To make returns on an actual investment, there needs to be cause and effect. Money needs to be invested in a product or business, which in turn generates income and is distributed back to the lender. As far as I know there isn’t some magic lending button where you push a button to lend money and the money just falls from the sky.

I mean seriously, this lending crap is toxic for the crypto space.
126  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: Ledger Nano S showed funds, but block explorer shows 0 balance? on: October 11, 2017, 08:25:42 PM
I am so confused, I loaded up my ledger nano S with Bitcoin and several alt coins.  The chrome apps show the balance.

However, when I use a litecoin or blockchain block explorer, I see a zero balance for the receiving address.

I'm very sure my coins are on device.  I'm also sure I can send them off if I wanted to.

So why would a block explorer show that the coins were received to that address, but a zero balance?

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it, as long as you have confirmed your funds are in the wallet and accessable, it does not matter what the explorer says.  None are perfect and as long as you have access to the funds, I am not sure why it would matter much beyond you just wanting to see the transaction.

No problem with that, I just sent one litecoin from the ledger to Coinbase with no problem.

128  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Walton (WTC) the next Omisgo? Or the next Civic? on: October 09, 2017, 05:58:56 PM
I am a bit biased since I've been heavily in WTC prior to all the China FUD, held through because I believed in the tech and the team and have since profited handsomely as a result.
With that being said, if my mother asked me if she should invest in WTC, I would still highly recommend it since I believe its still in its early stages and has legs to make a run at least into the early $10's and
maybe even $20 by the end of the year. Many people say $30-$50 but I don't see that happening by EOY. The real value is getting enough for a masternode (5000 WTC) so you get future dividends.
How much dividend? That is still TBD.

As far as the next OMG? Technologically they are apples and oranges but they both have lots of potential. It appears at the moment, WTC will have a working product sooner than OMG.

Disclosure: My altcoin portfolio is 40% WTC, 40% OMG and 20% etc (WAVE, LINK, FLO)

Thanks great info. I am certainly not buying enough for a masternode. But I could easily buy 100 WTC. At the $5-6 range I could get 100 Walton for less than 1,000USD.

I started to get into NEO at about $18. And it took my a while to accumulate 100. It spiked at $50.

I just want to feel like I’m buying and HODLING something with a future.

By the looks of the team supporting the project I think this should definately do a omisego type pump. However, right now the market is very undecided, so i am staying away from all alts.

Today is a buy day. I buy on red days. I set a goal and build a position. When everything is green and hyped I sit back.
130  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Walton (WTC) the next Omisgo? Or the next Civic? on: October 09, 2017, 05:22:05 PM
I am looking to buy and HODL. that’s the only way I’ve ever made money. A year. Two years. However long.
131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Is Walton (WTC) the next Omisgo? Or the next Civic? on: October 09, 2017, 05:18:35 PM
I am thinking about taking a position in WTC. I pick and choose new coins carefully. I have made a few mistakes (xtrabytes and Pillar) but also picked some gems (Neo, Ethereum).

So I hear so much good buzz about WTC. Great bench if developers, some sort of RFID patent.

Is WTC the real deal? I had a huge interest in Civic when that was a darling but never jumped on and glad I didn’t.
132  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: IT IS TOO LATE? on: October 06, 2017, 12:10:49 PM
I thought it was too late when I was buying bitcoin at $400, $500, $600. Turns out it wasn’t.

If your intentions are to turn thousands into millions, then maybe it is too late. Nobody can answer that question.

But if your goal is to invest in Bitcoin, with hopes of investing in an appreciating investment. I believe it isn’t too late. I can see Bitcoin hitting $10,000 or possibly $100,000. Anybodies guess.

If you want to invest in something to potential make massive multipliers, then get into altcoins. For that it is definitly not too late.
133  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Recovery phrase and ledger nano s help? on: October 05, 2017, 12:15:15 AM
I got a ledger nano s, and out ehthereum, bitcoin, Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin Cash, litecoin on there.

What I do not understand, is how can that 24 word recovery phrase restore all those private keys in the event that I lose my ledger. I understand that it is math, but can someone explain this in simple terms. So many different wallets, coins and private keys...and 24 words somehow backs them all up? It feels like magic.

I would love to understand how it works.
134  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Should I buy 100 Walton (WTC) or 100 CLOAK? on: October 03, 2017, 05:29:26 PM
I’m intrigued by both Walton and Cloak as a long term HODL. Which has a better community? Which do you recommend I buy 100 of? Or is there another suggestion thanks!
135  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin Cash on paper wallet —> ledger nano s on: September 30, 2017, 10:03:34 PM
I have remove bitcoin from a paper wallet and sent it to ledger nano s, now all that remains is the Bitcoin Cash.

In EXTREMELY easy to understand terms, can someone tell me how to get the Bitcoin Cash off the paper wallet and into the ledger nano s?

Thanks.

Ok so step one—> transfer the bitcoin from the paper wallet to the ledger nano s?
Yes. That is the only step.

Only step?
137  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sending BTC and BTC Cash from paper wallet to ledger nano S? on: September 24, 2017, 01:15:30 AM
Set up your Ledger nano S

Download a wallet software, I recommend you use Electrum. Setup Electrum to use the Ledger Nano S. Use the Sweep function (Wallet > Private Keys > Sweep) and sweep the coins from your private keys into an address on your Ledger Nano S. The transaction creation is handled by Electrum for you.

For Bitcoin Cash, I think you can do the same thing with Electron Cash which is just a Bitcoin Cash version of Electrum. Be careful that you are using the correct network (there are some issues with Electron Cash using the wrong network).

You should move your Bitcoin before moving your Bitcoin Cash.

Ok so step one—> transfer the bitcoin from the paper wallet to the ledger nano s?
Then I have a nano ledger s with my bitcoin, and a bunch of paper wallets with my Bitcoin Cash?
Then I work on getting the Bitcoin Cash off the paper wallets into the ledger nano s?

Is this the general idea?
138  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Sending BTC and BTC Cash from paper wallet to ledger nano S? on: September 24, 2017, 12:54:39 AM
I just got a ledger nano s. I have bitcoins on several paper wallets that I printed in 2014. I would like to get the bitcoins and Bitcoin Cash off the paper wallet and onto the ledger nano s and I am TERRIFIED that I am going to screw it up!

Can someone in the LEAST technical way possible explain how to do this? I’ve watched videos, and they all make me nervous somehow.

Thanks.

How does one trade electricity in this manor? Can someone explain?

Sun —> solar panel —> battery in my garage

Person pays me over Blockchain with PWR token

How do I then supply them with the electricity? I’m confused.
