1421  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty hunters do not need to wait for altcoin season on: November 20, 2019, 08:53:43 AM
Some bounty hunters quit because altcoin market is not in good shape but very few new projects still manage to enter this space in this so called bad time, my point is if new projects can take the risks why not same with bounty hunters? altcoin market of this year is poor no doubt but some bounty projects still become a success

Why waiting for altcoin season?

Bounty is just a side job for me and although many projects fail to reach the target or the price falls, I still do it because I do it in my spare time. So I don't need to wait for an altseason to occur because I could have gotten a token, the price will go up some time in the future

If the project manages to collect necessary funds and to be listed on exchange, this is half of the success and there is a good chance that the price will increase in the future. Most bounty hunters are disappointed because at the moment just few projects are able to collect softcap at all.

its a big mistake .
send directly from a wallet with no fully control of that wallet for investement plan.
i wonder , he(OP) reads the terms and conditions, but did the OP seeing about simple notice like " dont send funds directly from third party" .
because, i guess most of good investement plan have a notice like that, such as GNT,PowerLedger, even Monaco, i quite remember about it.


This, of course, should be a basic principle, but if Coinbase has such a good opinion about security, someone just trusted them.
Of course, nobody should do that, but I guess someone bought BTC there and wanted to invest it immediately, bypassing sending them through his desktop wallet.
The mistake was that this person did not notice that the withdrawal address was different from the deposit address.If he knew this, he would probably inform the investment platform in time and change the address.

To be honest, just about everything is making us give away our personal information these days. Even the KYC documents we have to submit to all of these exchanges are basically doing the same thing. I don't see Facebook messing with any crypto wallets or stealing any users funds, but do expect them to sell your personal information to the government and advertisers. Not much different than I expect all of the KYC information to be used for.

Facebook does not have to sell our data to the government. Such a large database must be under the supervision of government agencies, so if the CIA is involved, it is rather to watch over the security of our data, and not to buy or steal it.
Also, verification of KYC on exchanges is not because they came up with it, but it is required by law. Any legitimate exchange must keep AML/KYC rules. If someone doesn't like it, can use decentralized exchanges.

I would have missed miracle tele bounty and blockstamp if i was waiting for altcoin season to return all this while, it doesn't make any sense to quit because there is no altcoin season, if new projects are not quitting and still continue to release new projects i will never stop

It is great how persistent you are, but I wonder what you will say when after a few months it turns out that all the projects you supported have disappeared or have failed, and you have received nothing for your support.
Unfortunately, but the mere fact that new projects appear does not mean that they will be able to succeed at the current market condition.
1425  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Dangerous disadvantage of web wallet. on: November 18, 2019, 11:46:47 AM
I don't really get why people don't bother to simply download electrum - the processes involved are just as easy as a web wallet, sometimes even easier given the fact that a lot of web wallets hide certain functionalities in obscure places (cough cough, blockchain.com).

Even worse are hosted wallets, where you don't have custody over your own private keys.

It essentially defies the entire point of cryptos to begin with. Absurd.

This thread is not about how difficult it is to install desktop wallet, but more about the risks associated with using web wallets.
Unfortunately, but to buy, sell or exchange cryptocurrencies the most convenient form is online exchange, so if we have to use them, it's good to know the threats and I think that OP mainly for that created this thread.
1426  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: XRP demand liquidity on: November 18, 2019, 11:17:24 AM
According to CoinNess.com about 37 companies are now utilizing XRP, either as a way to accept payment or to power international remittance. What are we to expect from XRM with such development comes next year via her price. Do you think the next altcoin season will be bullish for top altcoin cos they are yet to unfold their plans

With the large amount of supply in the market, in my opinion the price of XRP can go up if the altseason comes but it won't be as big as it did in 2017. There are many factors that affect and one of them is a lot of new coins that look prospective and investors will definitely speculate on coins new

Speculators love XRP, so regardless of whether the bull run comes or not, the XRP price will be one of the most, if not the most manipulated, on the cryptocurrency market. Sometimes I get the impression that this coin was created for speculators and by speculators.
1427  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty hunters do not need to wait for altcoin season on: November 18, 2019, 10:36:28 AM
Waiting won't do any good either, we never know when market will change for the better so instead of wasting time why not give a try on few good projects trying to achieve something? who knows? they might actually turn out good

Of course, there are interesting projects that would normally be very successful. However, at the current market condition they are not able to collect even a softcap because investors are afraid that this is not the end of the bear market. When investors regain confidence in the cryptocurrency market, the situation will change completely for good projects as well as for bounty hunters.

I dont think that there is someone out there thinking "today I am feeling lucky, lets roll with 100 BTC" Wink But still a very impressive number ...

There are not many high rollers that play like that. We've got a max win of 20 BTC per roll so they would have to go 1.2x with a 79.17% win chance. Need some balls to do that.

Yep, big balls, or 5k BTC in wallet Smiley

But 20 BTC is the biggest win, or the biggest bet?

About the guy that have played 136 BTC, it for sure is some bot that play little amounts without a break - Is this allowed by Freebitco.in?
1429  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat Money is a Bubble on: November 17, 2019, 06:29:43 PM
When the global crisis arrives, cryptocurrencies will be the perfect instrument to escape from a decline in value, because is not based on import and export. It is not known, when the fiat money bubble will burst, because the US Central Bank is still printing dollars on which the world economy is based. It will happen someday, but it may take many years...
Gold and silver will be another way to protect yourself from the crisis that is coming, unfortunately many people are living paycheck to paycheck and do not have any money left to invest, that would be bad enough but most people that I know are slaves to the bankers and they just do not know it, they are indebted and they will probably be this way for the next 20 years if not for life and they seem to live in the assumption that the system cannot fail.

And we know this is not true, we have seen the economy of single countries fail spectacularly just in the last decade and it is likely the fiat system will fail as well at some point in the future and yet they have no way to protect themselves from this obvious danger.

Talk about what is better security - gold or Bitcoin, has been going on for years. But in my opinion, you can't just stand for one of them. I think that the best form of escape in the event of a financial crisis is diversification in several different independent ways: gold, Bitcoin, real estate, works of art, diamonds, and may be even less known forms, such as stamps. The more of them the better. But ofcourse it all depends on form of the crisis. For the fiat money crisis for sure Bitcoin will be the best form , because his value will be rising proportionaly to the dump of fiat value.

While you're getting all bullish and all, don't forget XRP team is always ready to sell their heavy bags to noobs. In 2019 alone, XRP has sold more than $250 Million worth of XRP! . And there's no telling how much they would sell in a bullish run. I don't have any doubt about XRP making a run but I doubt it'll be as huge as people are speculating it to be.

Agree, one of the factors why the price of XRP is still stagnant and perhaps one of the factors of the drastic drop in prices from $ 3 to $ 0.26 is the large ownership of coins from the founders. XRP may be a coin that has great liquidity but in my opinion if an altseason occurs, the price spike will not be as big as 2017

It doesn't really matter how many coins developers now have, because XRP is a centralized coin and they can make how much they want and whenever they want extra coins. They can create unlimited quantities, same as US Central Bank can print unlimited quantities of dollars. That is why XRP was created and this is an example of how banks operate.

I'm pretty sure he'll get the money back. Unfortunately, it takes a long time because Coinbase needs to investigate whether the mistake was deliberate in order to use their hot wallet for money laundering.

When it comes to web wallet, it has been explained hundreds of times here to never keep any funds there. You do not need any specialized knowledge to install the wallet on your computer. I'm sure an hour or two with YouTube instructional videos is enough to properly install and use wallet on your computer.

Is it legal to give your referrals earnings back to the referrals in order to increase the referral count. If it does not comes under referrals abuse in the FreeBitco.in terms and condition, only then it is one of the biggest marketing tool to gain unlimited referrals.

This is not prohibited and is even supported by Freebitco.in. There is an option on the site that allows make withdrawals of part of profits from referrals to referrals automatically.

At every possible occasion I repeat that XRP is a speculation tool and a money making machine for banksters. Let no one invest in it in the long term, because they can increase their total supply several times at any moment and the price will fall to the bottom! Forget about XRP.

Yes I don't know when will users realize that XRP was created by the bankers and we should just look back at first quarter of 2018 and learn the lesson as no matter what the value of XRP stands at, but the developers can being it down by pouring more supplies in the market and we should not be investing into Ripple and only greedy person who is here just to make money on short term may invest into Ripple when the price increases. I have pledged not to invest into it as it's against the basic idea of crypto currency.

For me, just calling XRP a cryptocurrency is a mistake. I admit that sometimes I use XRP but only to withdraw funds from exchanges, because they often have the lowest fees for withdrawals. This is the only plus of this currency, although Litecoin is becoming competitive, so if someone has to use XRP because of the fee, then check LTC first, because it may turn out to be the same amount, and if it is not possible, then immediately after withdrawal change XRP for any REAL cryptocurrency.

that is exactly what traders are doing. i'm not sure if they are doing it but if they can save this much by using xrp for withdrawal fees, arbitrage could be very profitable for them.  if the price of xrp though is going to rise as expected by people who had been praying for bullrun, the transaction fee could also rise a bit as well. XRP is sure going to also be pumped when the bulls take over as its one top coin, the only problem with xrp is that is not a perfect coin as garlinghouse claim and being centralize as a feature ain't helpful for the trust.


To tell you the truth, I don't know how and who sets the fees for transfers and withdrawals in XRP, so I don't know if it will change in the case of a pump. However, certainly all XRP price movements are controlled by developers - i.e. banks, so whatever happens, they will not lose on it, customers will lose, i.e. XRP owners.

It's true that Bitcoin is testing and will be testing fiat money strength. If better technology does not appear, it will almost certainly enter the mainstream and dominate the financial markets.

About the governments and politics, they should to be affraid of Blockchain, because once documents are saved there, there will be no possibility of deception and the time of lying to people's eyes will end.

Why waiting for altcoin season?
Maybe because of the many scam projects which then make bounty hunters feel that what they are doing is just futile and a waste of time so they choose to wait for the right time to re-participate in a project and I think this is natural for everyone when they feel tired of what they have got, but it is not possible that they will miss a good project if they stop to keep watching and searching.


Good projects are not starting now with fundraising because they know that investors still have not regained confidence in the crypocurrency market. Projects that are now appearing have no chance even to collect a softcap, so there is nothing to say about listing on exchange and get anything from bounty reward for hunters. Bounty hunters, just like good projects, are waiting for the market to improve and new capital to help develop projects, without it nothing will go forvard.

Let me just leave this here:



 Roll Eyes

And this is also important to mention:



Good job! Actually i was starting with collecting referrals few years ago and I know how hard is to attract active users. Now people looking for better paid tasks than faucets, but forget that price of Bitcoin can one day hit new ATH and the value can be completely different.
Can you share with us how long takes you to collect so many referrals and do you still looking for new ones?
1439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty hunters do not need to wait for altcoin season on: November 14, 2019, 08:34:41 AM
The altcoin market affects new projects and so it also affects the bounty program. So technically if hunters leave a project because they believe the market is not good you don't blame them for that decision

The point is not that bounty hunters are now leaving a projects because of the weak market situation, but that bounty hunters are leaving the whole market - they are simply disappearing.
