Research, research and research some more.
If you don't understand cryptosystems, find out how they work. Buying blindly is what gamblers do. Investors know what they are buying.
If you don't understand market behavior, research why people do really dumb things for what they think are "good reasons."
You will sleep better and make better decisions based on your level of competance, trusting authority figures to tell you what is good is also being beholden to thier failures and agendas. Also, the more you know the more likely you can spot BS and know when someone actual knows their shit.
Instincts are good, but they can be honed based on your knowledge base. It's much easier to hodl a legitimate project or buy more on a downturn when you understand what you are investing in.
Goodluck!

white paper that explains how xspec managed this? If they did do it, it would be one of the greatest innovations in cryptocurrencies If it would had been published, then the Market Capitalization of Spectrecoin already would be more than $5 Billion (with price $250). This is 50x the current price. If we are talking about investing - it makes sense to invest now before this growth, not after. Required few months to definitively test and review this technology by private testers, before it will be published. I'm betting that no vulnerabilities will be found. I think you are missing my point (in a major way). My point is that it looks, walks and sounds like vaporware, and any investor would be remiss to assume that it's factual without evidence to the contrary. Chasing pumps based on hype is one thing, trying to evaluate a technology based on evidence is an entirely different ballgame and dismisses hype to ascertain longterm value. |

Well if its all about the pumps maybe it will be our turn.  Its not only pumps, but it’s frustrating that a lot of people don’t see Monero... and I agree, a marketing team would not be a bad idea... Monero has a lot of competition Even there is no real competition... You do realize that coinhive miners and botnets gave Monero cover stories on Bloomberg, CNBC and Forbes? And that there are hedge fund managers talking about Monero on financial media? The people with money, and who understand the value of a digital cash, are well aware of Monero--at least those who are invested in cryptocurrencies. So not sure what kind of marketing you guys want? For the regular person like u And me that want to invest in crypto. These people invest in shot coins because they see hundreds of advertisements on Facebook etc... the advertisement we don’t have. So you want Monero to be more like shitcoins? Am I the only one who likes not having to deal with people who can't operate a CLI and need to be handheld through basic tasks or who freak out when they read concern trolling? That’s not what I meant and I’m long enough in this threat... but why can’t we advertise on Facebook for example? Is it that bad for Monero? It's FOSS--if you want to advertise on facebook, go advertise on facebook. But count me out. And I'd definitely be leery if the devs started supporting this kind of advertising campaign. |

Inventory Mgt using IOTA: https://apb360.com/2017/12/29/iota-for-inventory-management/While drones delivering milk to your refrigerator is cool as a concept, it offers an absurd use case that will likely not make IOT ubiquitous. The money in IOT will be in logistics, data and infrastructure. If you've been paying attention to what IOTA's been doing, you should start to grasp that they are building the backbone for the IOT. Everyone bitching about the wallet really doesn't get IOTA's use case and is entrenched in the mindset that's led to 1000s of entrants in an already crowded P2P market. M2M is bigger and has little competition. |

What people are saying about Monero is correct. It's a great coin. We've been hearing about Kovri for a long time now. Hopefully they can get it implemented soon.
Of the three you actually asked about, SPECTRECOIN. It's POSv3, It's wallet is integrated within TOR (so the problem with Janus (MITM) attacks are not an issue as it doesn't use exit nodes), it uses ring signatures (right now they are optional but they will be default coming this year), the 2.0 wallet is supposed to have anonymous staking.
The other two I have reservations on. Big ones.
See bolded: Has anyone seen the method of how they are going to achieve this? I'm calling vaporware until it is stated clearly in a white paper or the code is listed for public scrutiny. I'm amazed at how many times we have ridiculous claims and speculators just assume the developers are telling the truth or can actually deliver. Anonymous POS is one of the boldest claims in this space, yet some are treating it as a done deal without even having been told how it's going to be implemented--that's stupid. |

$20 before end of year 2018 ;-)
lol it will become maximum 5 dollar in the end of the year. there are billions iota. so marketcap will be so high if it will become 20 dollars I'm quoting this for posterity. Don't want you erasing it when it sounds idiotic. |

Not that I care too much about CMC, but looking at top20 (sadly), we got a lot of contenders, and we might see ourselves in the bottom end by EOW.
With all this craze with coins that gives 500% roi in a couple of weeks, we might get a little pushed over. We need to keep up the pace.
Best in class privacy is best in class privacy. Not sure I care about flavor of the minute coins that lack the fundamental qualities to be a digital cash. But verge-on if you have the attention of a squirrel riding a merry-go-round, sooner or later you'll fly off and be left dazed, going, "wha... Wha -- what happened?" |

I think that projects such as XMR and similar ZEC-DASH will come to very good price levels. A massive upturn may take place in 2018. Yes, there can be a big and sounding move.
Pfft, I'm waiting for ZEC-DASH Classic, all other coins will shake in its big and sounding move. |

try SpectreCoin, a tech first superior anon coin. explosive growth ahead.
Spectrecoin is traceable. The blockchain is public and the amounts transferred is visible. Not good, poor tech. Ok man, just tell me how much money do I have? My Spectrecoin (XSPEC) stealth-address: smYoRN5Kna3jo3eeAnrqoDECzG59WDajtsNZHMGZEaA9sxEYwtQDZUnGBCKM5BmXBVU4K6vKH7b6s4X oNiV7yJB8vDkhzq6HjsfMbp https://hsto.org/webt/xe/0k/rx/xe0krx5nagvcqcec4-hoqeuzlrc.jpeg- You can't see my money - on Stealth Addresses - You can't trace my money - due to Ring Signatures - sending from such addresses can be signed by any user from several dozen and you don't know who actually sent the money. This is the same as Ring-Sig in Monero, and Ring-Sig much greater tech than Mixing in a Verge, Dash, Zcash... Monero is a PoW+stealth addresses, PivX is PoS but hasn't stealth addresses, and only Spectrecion is already PoS v3 + stealth addresses. Monero's blockchain is public too, so following your logic - do you say that Monero "Not good, poor tech."? https://moneroexplorer.com/tx/84ea5936b2864709fe21ece3be8cb683d356f1f83cb5851ecbd4ee104012c583stealth address: b5ada231ffb6e1a83430e038847e91e6d734d6bc58287b4e693f12823732f947
amount: 5.532506139280 XMR PoS in Spectrecoin is much greater tech than PoW in Monero, so for example Ethereum dreams to move from PoW to PoS: http://www.trustnodes.com/2017/09/25/ethereum-may-upgrade-proof-stake-2018-says-vitalik-buterinhttps://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Proof-of-Stake-FAQPOS would need to find a way of proving the age of coins without disclosing the actual age of coins. So where is the code or white paper that explains how xspec managed this? If they did do it, it would be one of the greatest innovations in cryptocurrencies--kind of why I think it's vaporware until someone bothers putting forth the code for an audit. There's a good reason Monero sticks with POW. |

IOTA's idea looks great, however, I'm a bit afraid because of low adoption among big exchanges.
Don't be afraid. Adoption is coming earlier than you think  I think more exchanges for IOTA are crucial to ease the access to the token also directly via Fiat and more markets. Dominik Schiener said that several exchanges are going to add IOTA in the next time, but are just waiting for some things (update?) to be done. IOTA is also my No.1 bet when it comes to Coinbase. It is a Top 10 crypto and who is Coinbase going to add from the big ones? BTC, BCH, ETH and LTC are already listed, Ripple will be listed too. You guys think they are going to add Cardano or DASH? Honestly even looking at the top 10 or 20 I see a lot of needless crap that needs to go. XMR and IOTA are the two coins on Coinbase for 2018. TBH, I get the feeling that many in the blockchain world are scared of iota and the politics of coinbase (see Lee's disparaging remarks after feigning interest--though he did the same for Monero at the coinbase presentation, so not necessarily a bad thing) may not see them add it this year. It would be a huge surge to price if it did happen--not sure anyone has it priced in. My counter to my own argument would be that coinbase would love to expand further into the European market and Iota would give them leverage in this regard--the Germans have always been nationalistic (and the bread winner in the Eurozone economy) and iota is their baby, so I'm on the fence. Hopeful, but wouldn't take it in a coinflip. |

Forget all the above posts....
------------------------
Xspec (privacy coin)
Oyster Pearl
Sonm
Elixer
Substratum
------------------------
Do your homework before you spend
Those coins are so under the radar that they don't know they are privacy coins (wtf). Xspec needs to show some code before they get a pass on POS privacy--kind of an absurd claim, but I'll believe anything if a cryptographer can validate it by perusing the code. My guess is it's vaporware and will never be implemented and the devs will dump (if they haven't already) and disappear into the sunset until they do it all over again with the new "best ever" privacy coin--my bet is on a dag based this time as that's 0 fees and trending. If you can spot these shitcoins early, there's bank to be made as they usually get 10x returns before they cut and run. |

Hello! Last week ICO of HDAC project took place. What do you think about it? HDAC will have own chain with fast transactions and on HDAC chain will be smart contracts available.They are considered as IOTA competitors.
hdac is also a very good project.they are also very experienced in blockchain technology.maybe hdac and iota will be next bitcoin in future I don't know much about HDAC, but IOTA is losing its popularity on the market. Remember it was very popular 1 month ago, now people are talking about totally different coins rather than IOTA. What are you talking about? It had some big anouncements and went about its business. If you need a constant barage of news to validate your investment, you are going to fomo until you've lost a majority of your investment and realize that it's not a good longterm strategy. Some of you have ridiculous time frames and no appreciation for actual development. I'm suprised it hasn't retraced below $3, so not sure which charts you are watching as it's kept the majority of its gains. |

If only these shitcoins were under the radar enough to not have richlists. Literally it should be the first thing you check as it's easy to do and it indicates if wallet totals are traceable.
At least deeponion was smart enough to shut down their explorer site as to remove richlist from initial searches--doesn't make that data less able to be aggregated, but it does mean someone has to assemble the explorer themselves, so an A for effort.
Didn't think about this aspect. But at this point i think it even helps to decide if it's worth to throw some money in it, considering the low supply at the moment. Throw some money in what? If you are talking about deeponion, you missed my point as I'm saying they took down there block explorer after they realized that people understand richlists=traceability--you can still link tx to wallets, it's just they were smart enough to make it difficult. I remember verge was advertising that they had a richlist--they didn't even understand why that was a bad thing for people who want privacy. |
