621  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Change Of KYC Pattern on: February 18, 2019, 01:27:54 AM
There have been so much issues arising from bounty hunters doing kyc. So many bounty hunters are against it. Also looking at what kyc means, it means know your customer and bounty hunters are not customers.

So my thought is this: if there must be kyc , it should be done before the start of the bounty. If you pass the kyc, you start the bounty but if you fail, you just leave it and look for some other promising bounty.

What do you think about this?

Yeah,  bounty hunters is their supporters, not their costumers. Maybe it is wrong to call it 'Know your customers'.
It should be 'Know your holders', so they can know all of their token holders.
If hunters want to stay anonymous, i think they can search for another campaign.

In my prediction i think every price altcoin is still down because fail and scam project.A good project lock their token to save a fall price. But its not give effect to make their price is up because too little buyer in market.
Will the altcoin raise again in middle 2019 ?



Either the bull is sleeping or there is no bull run in this year, we must keep to using cryptocurrency even its price is low.
In 2017, ICO was popular and many peoples bought coins for investing in ICO, that's why the price was skyrocketing.
Then the dump price of altcoins was because the ICO project sold their raised coins in their main sale.

Surely this kind of thread will become a good reference to the peoples who wants to using decentralized exchange.
Anyway, one of the advantages of decentralized exchange is you don't need to make new account with password, like in centralized exchange.
Just using your wallet and then you can trading on the site.

The cryptocuurency's price on the market is still going down... i just wanna know what you guys are thinking of the future of the crypto, would it be great again? or would be at the bottom of the market? or would it be forgotten? tell me what you think and why

You will never know the future of cryptocurrency. The value in the market is too volatile to guess.
But based on the history of cryptocurrency, there were time when crypto market is too great because the price is rising good.
And i don't think crypto will be forgotten by peoples.
625  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Cryptocurrency One Big Ponzi Scheme? on: February 16, 2019, 04:33:29 PM
The basic underlying idea behind the use and creation of cryptocurrency is to present financial freedom to everybody no matter where you find yourself in this world. But the volatile nature of these digital currencies got me thinking, what if the whole idea of blockchain and cryptocurrency is just one giant Ponzi Scheme?  Within a short period of time, there have been about thousands of cryptocurrencies created. Majority of these digital currencies are either trying to solve problems of a particular cryptocurrency by presenting solutions they think can help improve financial freedom. This usually gets me wondering and thinking. If you don't agree with me on this, please share your thoughts... Grin Grin Grin

Bitcoin has been called as ponzi scheme in countless times since it was created, but i think there is no ponzi can survive for long time like bitcoin.
If crypto was a ponzi scheme, it would be dead already because no one would like to using it anymore.
Cryptocurrency has a real function in our world, as a digital currency.
626  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can REGULATION Really Be Beneficial to Bitcoin? on: February 16, 2019, 04:22:41 PM
Regulation maybe can be beneficial in bitcoin or cryprtocurrency. But we don't know if later the regulation can make limit of crypto users or not.
As long the users of crypto can using their coins with fully function, then it will be good. The regulation doesn't always bad, sometimes it give advantages to the users.
627  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to keep the BitCoins Safe? on: February 16, 2019, 04:06:05 PM
Hack and Hacks, every day I am waking up to the news of crypto exchanges getting hacked, recently a crypto exchanges founder died and he seem to have a hold of $190 million worth of BitCoins with him.
I have taken a pledge of never using a custodial exchanges, even if it is Binance, and not matter how much CZ says that he will keep the cryptos SAFU, I am not doing the mistake of keeping my money at stake.

I did a detailed study of what exchanges to use and what wallets to use -
 
  • Exchanges - Instant exchanges only, Changelly, ChangeNow, CoinSwitch etc.
  • Wallets - Divided into two parts - Ledger NANO S for long term investment, and keeping the funds safe, MultiCurrency wallet for trading, ex - Gaurda Wallet, Exodus Wallet

Let me know what you guys think.


I am one of the victim of the cryptopia exchange hack that occurred in the last month.
Using exchange wallet is riskier than using your own wallet, so better not using exchange wallet to store much coins.
628  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Decentralized vs centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, which one is better? on: February 15, 2019, 07:05:00 AM
Centralized exchange is better in speed because the transaction is live on the central database.
But usually you will need to submit KYC when you want to withdraw a quite amount of coins.
In centralized exchange, you will be able to trading your coins for other coins e.g EOS/BTC, while the decentralized exchange cannot.
629  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's the best Ethereum wallet? on: February 15, 2019, 06:50:25 AM
What's the best Ethereum wallet, expect for my Myetherwallet?

Maybe it is not the best, but i will recommend you using metamask as it is free to use and more secure than myetherwallet.
Using myetherwallet have chance to being exposed because you will need to provide your keystore or private key to use it.
630  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy on rumour and sell on news. on: February 15, 2019, 02:13:07 AM
There is a rumour about hard  fork of ETH and the volume in the trading of ETH is aggressively growing .Prices are showing strength .Is it an  opportunity to buy on rumour and sell on the news to book profit.

But unfortunately the fork has been delayed for some time that we don't know how long it will be.
When you see the market price dropping, it is a chance to buy the coins with a lower price in the market.
There were few forks of ETH, but most of them turned into a scam fork, constantinople is the most legit fork.
631  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good news from Japan on: February 15, 2019, 01:50:37 AM
We know that Asia is crypto-mad, and this article shows that Japan may well lead the way to mass-adoption through retail payments.

https://cryptomenow.com/why-japan-could-become-first-major-crypto-market-to-see-mainstream-merchant-adoption/

If this is really happening, then Japan will be the first country who will massive adopting bitcoin as a payment currency.
Then it is only a matter of time about when bitcoin become a main payment currency globally.
When the time comes, of course bitcoin value won't be low like this, it will be rising.
632  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The biggest ICO in the history: Dragon on: February 15, 2019, 01:39:20 AM
Hello, I am just surprised about the biggest ICO ever. Have you heard about Dragon? I didn't. Their website looks awful, listed only on some small exchanges, price is 100 times cheaper than ICO price, no progress.
But accourding these sites: https://www.icodata.io/ICO/ended and https://icobench.com/ico/dragon
They raised $300 millions so their ICO was the biggest one in the history, that collected so much money.

Do you know something about this coin? Or it is fake?

Im not sure if they really raised $300 millions especially in this bear market. Even if they raised in 2017, i still doubt it because the ICO is not popular.
If you know EOS, they raised money so much too. But all of us heard about it, EOS project.
When there is ICO that raised much, the project should be known by the most peoples in crypto.
633  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are altcoins useless? on: February 14, 2019, 04:35:06 PM
Now days we have more than 1 000 altcoins on the market. The question is, are people really using them? Frankly speaking only bitcoin, ethereum and monero are used for P2P payments. All others are used mainly for speculation purposes. Is it worth buying altcoins now days? I guess no, because all of them excluding tether are following bitcoin price chart.  I mean if bitcoin is going up or down, altcoins are doing same. (Tether is connected to US dollar rate and used mainly for arbitrage trading purposes) So do we really need altcoins? Regarding platforms, only ethereum is mainly used, and mostly for creating ERC tokens. All others, like waves, neo, etc are used very rarely. Monero is used mosly for shady deals because it is untraceable. (I doubt about that, because one dude who opened a shop on a dark web for selling drugs was cached by police last week. For communication he used 3 level protected VPN and was accepting payments only in monero) https://www.wired.com/story/monero-privacy/ You can read about dark web here. https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/internet/dark-web-3593569/ days. The main question is: Do we really need altcoins? Or Bitcoin, Ethereum and Monero are enough for crypto comunity this days?



Although there are many altcoins have no value, the are some altcoins that worth to buy.
You can earn incomes just by holding them, for example NEO coin, you can get GAS coin and you can sell it.
The important thing is, we can choose the right altcoin among thousands of coins.
634  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What if the bull run started and ended in one night? on: February 14, 2019, 04:23:31 PM
I know it is basically impossible but what if, while you slept the bull run commenced and the price of Bitcoin climbs to $50k and then goes back to $3k just as you wake up. Then you see the charts for confirmation of what went down while you slumbered. What will you do by then? I want to hear your thoughts on this.  Grin

If that is really happening, i will get frustrated because i missed the chance for riding the bull train.  Lips sealed
But in history of bitcoin, there has never been like that since bitcoin created in 2009.
Lets try to not expecting any bull run now, the market seems continuing to bearing in this year too.
635  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why you should invest into ICOs that have a working product. on: February 14, 2019, 04:10:15 PM
Last two years saw a rise in the number of ICOs that were soliciting for funds for the commencement of identified blockchain solutions. However the downslide of the crypto market has seen most ICOs failing because most of them don't have real product and very good use case behind them to enforce the liquidity of their tokens. Well i entreat you to invest with ICOs that have real working product which would always cause a constant demand of the utility tokens. This is the only way as investors you can also earn some profit from the project you invested into.

I know two of such projects which i am into and i would like you all to check it out.

Vivid : https://vividcoin.app
MiracleTele: https://miracletele.com

It will be very difficult for starter ICO company who want to create their products from scratch.
They don't have any products yet, therefore they have to raise the funds from investors to make products.
Having an existing product won't guarantee that ICO will become success in the future.
636  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This guy says crypto ruined his life but he spent it on a high risk lifestyle on: February 13, 2019, 02:53:58 AM
~~

I am wondering if you would be so careless if you spent $60k and ended up with $1.66 million after cashing out?
I would think most level headed people would use it and invest it instead so it makes you more and doesnt run out like it did for him.
This would be more or less the most common sense thing to do for most people.
Wouldnt you agree?

I think everyone will have different response when gaining many profits from something they can't predict.
And the guy choose to spend his money instead investing it on another kind of investments.
Sometimes we must stop our greed, and try to more enjoying our life with what we have.

If you received  0.00000546 BTC, where did it come from and do I need to be worried?” If you’ve received a small amount of BTC and aren’t sure where it came from, you may be a victim of a dusting attack. Learn how they may affect you.

Visit - https://cryptomaa.com/btc/received-0-00000546-btc-for-free-scam-dusting-attack/



Well, it seems hacking peoples bitcoin is not easy as you imagine, especially the one who have large amount of bitcoins.
If this was easy, then the hacker just need to deliver the dusting attack to the exchange wallet, that have very very big amount of transactions.
But still, we better change our wallet address if something wrong happening in our wallet.
638  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: hesitant about investing in Bitcoin. on: February 13, 2019, 02:21:26 AM
Hello, everybody, friend ...?
Sorry I'm a newcomer, at the BitCointalk forum, I don't know much about Bitcoin, but I've heard a lot about Bitcoin, especially in print and electronic media,
in one day I read about Bitcoin information in this forum, I am confused where to start, because I see many good, positive and negative posts.
For example:

Positive side:
1. Topic: Working for Bitcoin
2. Topic: Bitcoin ATM's are popping up

Negative side:
1. Topic: Will Bitcoin collapse by a global government crackdown

2. Topic: Five Reasons Bitcoin Should Be Closed Down

So I was a little hesitant in investing in Bitcoin, of course because I was confused between good and bad, but I was still sure.
What I want to ask the old seniors and understand the phenomenon of bitcoin in the future, whether I continue to invest in my estab lishment or not ...!

for reasons of the above posting factors. (thank you).

There are positive and negative threads in the forum, but you don't need to trust them all.
If you can afford to lose your money, then you will have no problem to investing on something you believe.
Just for your information, there are many peoples deliberately spreading FUD ( Fear Uncertainty and Doubt ) in the forum.
639  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Mew safe now?? on: February 12, 2019, 02:08:24 AM
Huh damnit i wanted to sell my vibe tokens, but to afraid to log in...  Angry

How can i know if its safe. Can a page be exactly the same as a phising site? I bookmarked it  half a year ago. Can a bookmarked site allways be trusted or what?

Well, if there is only Vibe token in your MEW, it will be very easy. Just using your MEW and transfer the token to exchange wallet.
And you can sell your coin, change your wallet into a new wallet. Using metamask in your browser extension is recommended.
640  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Can I Detect If A platform is decentralised Or not !! on: February 12, 2019, 01:53:15 AM
Over a decade many project coming out promising a decentralize  platform  But  later You will find out the system is Centralise !! One of them is  Ethereum Network according to Blockchain expects  !! I want to know if there a way to track if a platform is decentralised or centralised !!  

There must be some explanations why the experts said Ethereum is centralize.
But for me, centralized means it is controlled by only one big party or organization.
Even many peoples says bitcoin is centralized, because it can only mined by ASIC miner to become profitable.
