1001  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Merit Cycling on: April 03, 2018, 11:01:00 PM
I am a single poster and it was clear that I can not compete with merit exchanging groups or friends. And there will be probably also some kind of market for purchasing merits.

When the merit system was introduced, I was one stage prior to reaching Sr Member that requires an activity of 240. Now my activity is 280 and I am still Full Member and probably will forever.

I have seen a lot of shit and and spam posts on this forum without any consequences and as a honest single poster you have now to pay the price for not connected to inside teams!


I totally agree with you..as I was in exactly same position as you prior to merit introduction.
My proposal was to give initial merit proportionally to how close you're to next level (so for
example you and me would get about 240 instead 100) but I was bashed hard by people who,
suprise surprise, made account week or two before you and me and just ranked up got 250 merit

At this rate you and me are set back about 3 years
I have to admit I did not read how this merit system is working. But you have a point here that we were one step to Sr Member and getting 250 merits instead. Now we have the same position like someone who just reached Full Member.

I just see that you have the same Activity like me, even though you already received 16 merits. So how much merits do we need to rank up to Sr Member?


250, so in your case 150 more...at this rate you'll reach it in year 2036...and I'm not joking, I calculated it
At least in some signature campaigns you receive unlike more per week or post if you received 5 merits as Full Member. And in the signature campaign I currently participate the difference between Full Member and Sr Member is only 25%, while I have already seen differences of 50% in other signature campaigns.

We will see if there will be any adjustments in the foreseeable future. As soon as I get 2 merits more, I should be fine for signature campaigns. Smiley
One of the examples with those campaigns are handled by yahoo since hes the only one or the first campaign manager who do require merits when it comes on categorizing payment structure on each rank.It do have significant different tier for those who don't have merit and for those who have which is quiet fair to everybody but would really differ into their weekly payment which its normal for those who have merit would receive more than into those who haven't.This is why merit is being abused for sometime because of such requirement.

All hodlers and have patience in bear market will be rewarded when bull run starts. I salute to everyone who have hold thier coins until this day.  Bigger profit is awaiting for us.
That current price dip did really shake out those who had weak hands which they do panic sell when they do saw the market is declining.For those who still hold will really be rewarded soon when the bull market comes once again.It might be tomorrow or into another day or other month or year.No one really knows but atleast we do still held our position no matter how bad the market condition is.
1003  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Risky move ? on: April 02, 2018, 10:45:14 PM
Not know why but i did sell all my alts today. And bought Tron TRX for them all. Now i hold a nice amount of TRX  Grin

MC is down to 280b today and the market not going anywhere soon. So i decided to buy the hype around TRX and move all my $ to this coin. Know this can be risky but if the price go up just a few cents i will make a nice profit.


What particular altcoins did you sell off? If those aren't too special then its a good step but rather a risky one but if you do sold good ranking altcoins then you did a dumb thing since you just focused on one.I don't really prefer on buying something which I do heard some hypes into a particular coin. Diversify is always my main aim, still risky but you already divided it number of partitions. If the entire cap would go even more lower then expect on negative floating if it goes to your plan then sure profits would be made.
1004  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading pump and dump group on: April 02, 2018, 09:28:11 PM
Personaly i encounter this group they called there groups a crypto pumpers or anything they use to call there group. They are recruiting people to join there group and say they were pump that coins or tokens but saddenly you lose your money with this mudos. Do you guys think there are some group that truely helps our new trader to earn?
If you do like to proceed to become a trader. Searching groups isn't bad but we do all know that there are lots of P&D groups which will even make our trading learnings worst.This is why don't join into these kind of things because most likely you would really end up on being behind.Their modus is really already common and yet known on most people here on this forum. They will just mainly use you for them to make money.If you cant get out early as you can then expect a negative impact.
1005  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Share please tips to know project scam or not? on: April 01, 2018, 10:45:55 PM
My strategy is to look at:

1. The idea
2. Team and advisors
3. White Paper
4. ICObench rating
5. Social pages and site
6. Token Metrics and Prototype

But after all there is no 100% guarantee that it will be not a scam. But it is all you can do from your side so you need some luck also.

You missed the development team and LinkedIn profile to share here. You may consider including with in the team and advisors list but if the newbie has been came here to invest on ICO means he will not be know about it mate.

Why I have asked you to check the LinkedIn profile, because they will be creating fake profile of the CEO and other people in the friendlist. If the legit person you will be able to find with the age about LinkedIn profile itself so there would not be any issue for investing ICO then.
Complete newbies wont really bother out or will definitely missed out on having those check-ups on where they don't really bother themselves on checking out on the team behind it.This is what most people do missed that's why they are being easily scammed because they haven't checked out teams profile first before investing.This is one of the most important factors to be considered first because you can picture out and differentiate projects which are shady and which are transparent.
1006  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the most influential factor that triggers bitcoin prices to fall down? on: April 01, 2018, 09:11:48 PM
Bitcoin is very volatile. It goes up and down at no time. But I started to think what causes its values to go down. These past few days, its prices are notably lower that last year's values. Last year, I believe, during the first few months, its prices are likewise low. Do bitcoin prices go down every January to February? Does it have a logical association?

NEWS is one of the biggest factors that affect bitcoin price in the market, especially when it comes to well-known people in cryptocurrency world. another factor of this are those exchange and country whos turning bitcoin down, but ass bitcoin fall many people want to jump in on t\its dip that makes the coin price go up or even stop the fall of this bitcoin. We are just so lucky that bitcoin already build its foundation to the people all around the world and got so many supporters.
Regulation, Banning and Pure Fuds would really affect the entire market which can be considered as the main factors why prices are way too volatile but same as you said bitcoin cant really go dip or easily died due its already being distributed into lots of investors which price manipulation cant really be easily done unlike on traditional local fiat currencies where there would be always a manipulation.As an investor instead on worrying or panic you should got used to it with those movements and we should seek out the best position for us to make profits.
1007  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Havven ICO raised more than Power Ledger - $30 million?! on: April 01, 2018, 08:28:48 PM
I know lots of people participated in the Havven ICO and saw this today: https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2018/03/129035-record-breaking-havvens-crypto-blockchain-monetary-system-stablecoin-closes-90-minutes/

Blows my mind that they surpassed Power Ledger. Seems like the ICO phase isn't over just yet. Thoughts?

these people are a joke, i bet sooner or later neither cryptocurrencies nor national currencies will have price stability.
The price won't ever get stable and the developers can't make the coin worth more than Bitcoin. The project is going to be a failure.
Very well said which is actually true and completely agree that price wont really get stable no matter what since we do know on whats the main feature of cryptocurrencies which its price volatileness and come to think off on how many projects in the market as of now but most of them do end up on failing because on having the same or redundant ideas which isn't really needed at all this is why interest would really be done in a matter of time. Talking Havven I didn't still even read up that project but having a big accumulation doesn't mean that they would be better among others.Time would really tell.
1008  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Genesis mining super bad payouts! on: March 31, 2018, 05:37:15 PM
Genesis mining now recommends taking payouts in ltc so you can get over the minimum requirements.

I take mostly doge for exchange. zcash pays out every day so i stand on that one.

Which makes it even more of a shady deal, in my opinion. If people really are mining crypto with their contracts, then they should be getting a share of coins mined, not being able to request in other currency or even needing a minimum payout.

Bitcoin price aside, mining coins itself is still as productive as ever. To OP, cut your losses and don't renew contracts. Learn your lesson and spend your money buying Bitcoin if you really want an investment. Prices have not been this good for a while, probably not again for long more.
This is indeed a shady thing why they would give another coins if you are supposing to invest and do like to receive a specific coin on which contract you had putted in.Giving you out another options for the sake on getting minimum withdrawal isn't really appropriate at all.If you do have money is stucked then you don't have any choice but to accept the terms or another divert way as long you can able to pull out your funds.
1009  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Digital money or virtual currency? on: March 31, 2018, 04:24:17 PM
Hello friends.
I have a problem to share.
My country is average. They are too familiar with outdated and old technologies.
In my country many people still understand Bitcoin as virtual currency. BTC does not bring anything to life. They just think Bitcoin investment is gambling, chance, black red.
Why?
Why do not they look at Bitcoin, ETH or blockchain technology for the present.
Blockchain minimizes transportation costs, intermediates and risks.
Personally, I always try to absorb and learn nonstop.
And you? How is your country?

Convince them that it is a real currency . It is a first decentralized digital currency as the system works without a central bank and single administrator. We can fulfilled our dreams with this currency people are doing transaction trading selling and earnings money from it so defiantly it is a currency and worldwide payment system.


Convince them that it is a real currency ?

You are suggesting or advising wrong thing on here since bitcoin never become a real currency which can really be used but rather than its just on digital currency which do have significant use when it comes to online transactions.You cant really force people to believe on what you believe.If you have done your job on trying to convince them but they do just neglect you then let them be as long you do know the advantage when you are engaging into this technology.
1010  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy low.... sell high! on: March 30, 2018, 10:24:08 PM
Well,  They always say, "Buy low, Sell High!" 


What are you buying now?
Buy low sell high is a basic stuff but would really be definitely the most difficult to be done on trading.Those sayings are just common since who would be the one to buy high and sell low? These mistakes is usually committed by most traders.For now I am making some purchase into those coins specially included on marketcap which is 80% down to its ATH.
1011  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Market Prediction by the end of April on: March 30, 2018, 09:29:02 PM
Can we really know right now with the way the bears have been showing some level of strong hand? Seems we just had a double bounce on the 4hr chart at the 6500 region but not so much of volume.

A lot of FUD has been spread lately that has affected the market hugely but it still looks like we have a strong support on the trend that has been holding us now for a long time, the same one that held us at the previous low this year. Let's see how things go though
6500 region but not so much of volume This one. If the price would breakout into this support then expect we would really heading into the next strong support which is on 4k price. Technical analysis can really be a good tool on viewing possible movement of the price but we cant really say that these would precise because bitcoin price is really unpredictable it does move due to lots of factors.
1012  Economy / Economics / Re: Would a global disaster increase or decrease the Bitcoin value ? on: March 30, 2018, 08:15:04 PM
Hi ! First message here.

If a global disaster would happen on earth ( And I somehow don't wish it ) Would the value increase or decrease ?

I'm not talking about solar flares or EMP. But more like big wars or great natural disaster.

What are your opinions on the subject ?  Cheesy
what kind of damage will affect the world?if this is world war and may last for long well i think the answer will be revealed after the war..though for me the price will go higher since this is virtual,and the monetary may be misplace or been burn out since war is really devastating.so nothing has an option but to use crypto as money for a while until the world recovers from this
Everything is possible to happen but to think of on monetary to be diminished I don't even believe that this thing would be easily happen.When it comes to natural disaster like having an EMP or solar flare or whatsoever similar calamities or events it can really affect the price.Why? When these things do hit us up then for sure internet would be gone not only bitcoin would be affected but all the things who do rely on internet connection.
1013  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bittrex is removing a lot of coins on: March 28, 2018, 05:50:17 PM
Yeah I noticed that and I can say that is a really smart move from Bittrex. It would be nice that coins which have small volume of trading or have small price (example: 6 sat ) can be delisted too. There are too many useless coins which are used only for pump and dump. I hope they will add some new coins with good potential.
It is already expected on where if theres a delisting then expect there would be a new listing of new batch of coins which I would really be glad since there are more potential coins which aren't being listed to this exchange and hope it would really be given a chance to be putted inside of such good exchanger.Delisting crappy coins isn't new anymore because even some exchangers do really need to done such thing to maintain the cleanliness and prone to shitcoin exchange.
1014  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Merit Cycling on: March 27, 2018, 08:53:57 PM
i have a problem i did not have sendalbe merits  Huh

Well, you just trade with your merit into someone better to start posting a good one so many people will appreciate your work.


It is very difficult for JR members to get Merit.

Its difficult for everyone, its just so happen that those who are in a higher ranks make their name popular so they can easily get it but of course they deserve it also.
But if you look at some Sr/Hero account (like me), they still have no merit or lower merit because its really difficult to have it, its a matter of time and we can have want we deserve.
This is the advantage for those people who already established their names on the forum on where earning merits would be easy as pie but theres no doubt towards into their post quality because its justifiable and not questionable.I have seen lots of them which they do really deserve a merit but we cant really avoid the fact that merit abuse would be there,sending back and fort could really give some presumptions,its possible but would really need a strong evidence towards those accounts.
1015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think the markets are being manipulated right now? on: March 27, 2018, 08:27:20 PM
Why? Why not

I've heard both sides of the argument and to a certain extent, they both make sense more or less.

Thoughts?
No matter which thing you would go either stocks,forex,crypto then talking about this manipulation on the market isn't really new or surprising at all. Price manipulation is always there specially when theres big players but we cant really completely traced out on the activities which do involves such manipulation but we can obviously tell that theres something behind it when we do hear about news which is roaming around.
1016  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin help out of school youth... on: March 26, 2018, 11:01:04 PM
Do you think Bitcoin can help out of school youth to finish their studies or not?
For me in some other way yes it will help . It will help young people to gain insight on how to earn money and how to value the money they earn. But it may also be the reason to them for not continuing their studies because they earn already a lot of money on bitcoin..
of course bitcoin will greatly help a student to complete a study, but that does not mean a learner should stop for school .. because school very needed in our life in the future ..
Education is more important that money. This fact must be understood by our student fellows because this time we are getting a vibe from such students who are involved in this world. They are preferring this money source over their education.

Since this would be dangerous for them in their future if they wouldn’t be getting enough education. So they must complete their education at prior level.
Education would really be should be prioritize.If they are able to make income on crypto to sustain their education then its still a good thing as long they do know the importance on having a diploma or already finished their studies.Lots of opportunities would be there if we are graduated unlike if we haven't finished college then tendency on this temporary crypto world would happen then we would really have a hard time on raising out ourselves.
1017  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Analysis on: March 26, 2018, 10:26:07 PM
The rapid growth of bitcoin in 2018 is not over, but there is a problem with growth. I think we're going to see that the price of bitcoin is going to be $40,000, but I think we're going to see that it's going to go below the $6,000 mark.

Many high-profile government critics and some countries have warned that the currency is risky to invest in encryption, and said to them, these currencies are likely to collapse, because nothing can support their value.

But I think bitcoin has a bright future.
According to the current wave chart, the bitcoin may be at the lower end of the $ 7500 range and will rise again later so you can order bitcoins in this area. The market is taking the final step to prepare for a rebound in April and May, which is when you can take profit from your investment.
Not a sure thing but having those technical analysis would really give us image or we can really picture it out on where possible prices would go on upcoming months. April is already near and we might able to see reversal again.For now on short traders including myself would really keeping an eye to that price range so that I would able to make an entry. If it wont breakout then its an advantage on making some profits when it tends to bounce up.
1018  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to choose the right ICO? on: March 26, 2018, 10:01:19 PM
Before following the first look at the manager there is a positive belief and see again ico is a lot of sports so fast dala Free sell with such a successful ico, because many of the sport certainly a lot of devotees
Whats sport btw? Reading up your entire sentences is totally rubbish and you cant even write it clear correctly.

Going back into topic, choosing the right ICO would be mainly on its team behind, transparency,legitimate,experienced to this cryptofield.You can somehow assure that this project is leaded up in good hands.
1019  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: CoinMarketCap manipulates the market? (Not FUD) on: March 25, 2018, 09:59:07 PM
Doesn't sound like a serious or well thought criticism at all.

If CMC were indeed engaged in such practices, it would be very easy to spot the fraud by cross checking with numerous other websites publishing market caps (coingecko etc.).

You can't get to be number 1 of any service by practicing such low class behavior, so while it's essential for every investor to do his own thorough research, this article has a very high chance of being fake news and sinister in nature...
I have the same views towards this that this might really be a fake news.We don't even know if those informations are just tend to be pending or not updated due to some reasons  or they have done it for some evil intents.No one really knows but same as you said getting to be number 1 when it comes to these kind of sites you wont really able to achieve this if they haven't proven theirselves when it comes to listing out tokens on the market with various informations.If someone complained about non-updated numbers then give them some time to put the correct ones.
1020  Economy / Economics / Re: Can we Manipulate Bitcoin price? on: March 25, 2018, 09:26:16 PM
I know there are many big players who manipulate bitcoin price and make huge profits but can we the bitcointalk members also form a cartel and let bitcoin price never fall?is it possible that we manipulate price as I am sure most of bitcoin users visit this forum
It is hard to break in with bitcoin's program. With great knowledge and skills in programming, maybe we can somehow manipulate bitcoins value but that would require years of studying. The value of bitcoin usually depends on the demand it is gaining from the people. Bitcoin will always have a high value if it is being demanded continuously. So to help it increase we should keep on demanding it.
You are just simply talking about into its technical aspect which isn't really right at all since the thing we are talking on here is about on the price which it is mainly concerned on its total tokens circulation.If a big group or whale decide to make up the price go to a certain point then it would really be hard into bitcoin.Why? Tokens are already being distributed even some people who do hold up lots of bitcoin cant really able to make such manipulation.
