Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why .IO is popular in crypto websites than .COM ?
|
on: August 12, 2019, 09:06:12 PM

TBH, it's all about "trends". Many, many domain extensions have tried in the past to replace ".com" (dot com) and they all remained in a trend for some nice amount of time; however, dot com has always survived and outclassed them all repeatedly. Moreover, there's more of a "show-off" element involved in almost every new start-ups out there than the "cheaper extension" element. Generally, dot com is cheaper than dot io across all major domain name providers (Godaddy, NameCheap, etc), but interestingly, most people (especially the ones who're struggling with a new start-up) who think that they're "over-smart", try to go with the brand new shorter domain name (dot io, dot co, etc), even when the dot com version of the same name is available. I know about a few cases (and they were all start-ups) which started with a better-than-dot-com domain name and later migrated to dot com due to lack of SEO, lack of visitors' interaction with the website, etc. It means investors have reasons to doubt about reliability of projects that run their sites on domain names with .io, .info, etc.
I'm not sure if someone around has witnessed the growth (and downfall) of paid-to-click industry (talking about the years 2005 to 2015), but I think that those who have witnessed it will still care about the domain name extension of the website before risking their valuable time (and in some cases, the funds) on the websites. I remember that in the years 2013-2015, a lot of PTC websites (which were literally run by 14-year-old kids) were popping up and due to lack of pocket-money, they were all going for a very cheap "dot info" domain name, which had a couple of bucks registration charges (and in some cases, it was even less than a buck, excluding that 18 cents ICANN fee). Resultantly, people stopped being interested at all in those dot info/dot tk platforms and were all considered as "child-owned" websites. I think that if BTC dominance continues to grow and alts continue to shrink, then we might get to see the kids popping up in crypto-industry and cloning the alts with a negligible budget. If that day comes, I'm sure that those kids will be then looking for those "under-a-buck" domain names again, and newcomers will have to stay away from those projects! P.S. in those days, dot co domain name was considered to be rich (& a better/shorter version of dot com) and people used to trust the website using it more as compared to the websites using other extensions. So IMO, dot io is the new dot co these days. .com is so 90's.
.io is for companies of the new millennium - internet organizations!
Hmmm... well, quite sure that my grandpa still thinks that all websites end up with .com extension (only).  |

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][XRB]Cryptocurrency's killer app: RaiBlocks micropayments

"XRB" is now history: Binance Will Update NANO Deposit Addresses for All UsersTo support NANO’s address prefix upgrade, Binance will suspend all NANO deposits and withdrawals at 2019/08/09 02:00 AM (UTC). After we complete the upgrade, all NANO deposit addresses will begin with “nano_” instead of previously beginning with “xrb_”. XRB is still in my heart ♥️ Heh, it'll always remain in our hearts. However, new buyers (and hodlers) won't know about XRB until and unless they dig deep in NANO's history. |

Coinbase UK Dropping Support for Cryptocurrency Zcashhttps://www.coindesk.com/coinbase-uk-dropping-support-for-cryptocurrency-zcashYes, that repository belongs to the Github of ZCash foundation and ZCash foundation is made up of ZCash developers. It should be safe. Thank ! And which addresses can I use, T or Z? I used to read that using Z-addresses can cause problems. Don't use Z addresses until and unless you really want to keep your balance private. Z-addresses are fairly difficult to handle. Therein lies the problem, having both T and Z addresses: (a) complex and error-prone (b) kills privacy because people don't use stealth addresses Not only that, these jokers forced you to move all your coins to T for sapling... Long story short... ZEC has zero privacy = chainanalysis will expose everything... ycash does not address any of this... sell into pump. Down 25-30% versus BTC in 2 weeks since the Pump... Devs have already drained $300-400 million and will draining this bitch to zero.. zk algos are ubiquitous on multiple platforms today (see something like self-replicating zk VMs with REN)  Nice! You were quite accurate with your dump prediction on the YCash fork.

binance is big yes but very sketchy, don't kid yourselves. do not be shocked if they end up shut down by the end of 2020.
not to mention they are not as secure in malta as led to believe, and they literally 'rent' their space. in addition, their banking issue are still prominent...which is an issue for many exchanges.
I'm not sure about those "rent" and "banking issue" terms you used for Binance. I'd recommend you to make a thread of Scam Accusation for Binance with all the proof you've available. I'm not aware with that banking and rent issues too that's why a link would be highly appreciated if he can able to provide it out.For now Binance is suffering or facing up some issues. They had been hacked and now a data breach.How people would think up this way? Trust is getting decreasing as these non good things happen to this exchange. Would binance is the future of exchanges?I already have the second thoughts. Well, it seems like Binance has published a reasonable statement regarding that KYC leak, and termed it as "fake KYC leak": Statement on False “KYC Leak”https://www.binance.com/en/blog/365766157488967680/Statement-on-False-KYC-Leak |

CoinExchange.io has been added to the comparison. ~snip~
I have a bad experience with C-Cex and Tradesatoshi. For example, C-Cex just disable my account and I can't access to him, it is just my lucky circumstance and hasn't any balance there.
Any mention without "scam" "fraud" ... along his name can be called positive ads.
I know your true intention is not to praise them, but some beginner can read this and will not see the problem to begin to use them.
I understand your concern mate, and I hope that once I mark the exchanges that have received most accusations as red and add the column of no. of major accusations, it'll make it look better for the newbies. |

Agreed, but at the end, cricket is a professional game as well and they need to think about about prolonging their career. However, 27 is too early to retire. I can't remember anyone to get retired at this short age. The players may think they don’t need Test cricket but they are ignoring the fact that Test cricket needs them. That quote sums up my opinion on his early retirement as well. These players might not need this format of cricket, but the format itself requires them. If the young players start to think that this format is very hard for them, it just proves that they're not fit enough to play the best format of cricket. |

Nice list, but I am surprised with some exchanges listed like Yobit, Tradesatoshi and C-Cex. Against all of them, you can find a lot of scams accusations. They do not deserve any possible positive advertisements. p.s. You can consider adding CoinExchange I use them for a long time, and never have any problem there. Hmmm... what do you exactly mean by the phrases "surprised with some exchanges" and "positive advertisements"? I don't think that I'm trying to convince anybody here that some specific exchange is better than some other specific exchange; I'm only providing a comparison here. Very soon, we'll have the column of "No. of major accusations" in the comparison, and only then you may say that I'm trying to separate the "good" and "bad" exchanges in the comparison.  About CoinExchange, yes, I'll add it later today. I've used their service before and I know how the stuff goes in that platform. Thanks! |

BTCPop seems to be mostly about lending and IPOs. Could you please provide me at least some information related to its exchange service?
The exchange doesn't look so professional, to be honest, and they have a decent amount of scam accusations from what I've seen by googling. I made an account, and I managed to get some info regarding the fees (I wouldn't recommend adding them). Thanks for exploring it! I guess I shouldn't add it as it doesn't even look like a platform where one should bother to register. |
