Anyone can point me to how ur leasing experience has been? Some have claimed that the transaction fees is eating up the leasing income. I have only 25 waves not sure worth the trouble
362  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any new airdrop coins? on: July 17, 2017, 01:53:08 AM
most of them are not even airdrops.

People seem to be using the word airdrop to refer to both giveaways and signature campaigns, probably after seeing the success of Byteball.  And also because giveaway threads are banned.

Theres only a few real airdrops going on right now: Byteball, Stellar, Bitcore, Waves (not sure if the random coins given away are airdrops or giveaways, i dont own Waves yet).  A lot of giveaways and signature campaigns are calling themselves airdrops.

Anyone has experience with WAVES leasing?
363  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Code & implementation: how do we know altcoin legit? on: July 17, 2017, 01:49:19 AM
How do we actually confirm if an altcoin is legit and does what it says it does? Say, for example, the premined numbers.

Do we check it on the ethereum blockchain contract or? and how do we do that?

From viewing the code. If it's not open source, assume something's fishy right from the start.

As a general rule, hidden premine is found out as soon as the coin becomes
popular enough - before that premine is of no consequence, as the coin has so
little value. There's always someone who will look at the code.

I find it absurd that ico do not share the code as a proof of contract

None of the ICOs are 'legit' projects or businesses. None of them offer anything to sort out any real world problem. Most of them just try to solve something with the blockchain which doesn't need solving in the first place.

In the real world,a startup would need to produce something workable, something profitable before serious investors come on board. That is the correct way.
In the ICO world, someone post a page here, use as many 'buzz' words as possible including 'decentralized' and 'blockchain' a few times and collect upto $200 millions. This is the same category as opening 150 MacDonald's restaurants... Is a buzz words heavy few pages long paper worth 150 MacDonald's restaurants?

If the teams and projects behind the ICOs were legit with good business plan, they didn't need to have ICO in the first place. In the reality, the team collect millions, work a bit in their 'project', cash in the collected ETH and live happily ever after.

That's a lot of truth, can't say i disagree.

That is why I am asking technically how do we validate the claims? There must be a way via their contracts in the blockchain.

From their preparation,support and their team member.
Also look at their website

Yeah, that too.

But I actually meant technically, how do we confirm that? how can we see the ethereum contract they will execute.

What do you guys think of all the airdrops who dont rlly have a roadmap or whitepaper?

I think we are guilty of feeding the frenzy Wink

Sometimes we (not all) go for the airdrop without knowing what's the coin about.
367  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / AMD Vega? on: July 16, 2017, 04:02:14 AM
Is AMD Vega 50% higher the hash rate of 1080Ti as rumours says?

Will this change the mining scene.
368  Economy / Trading Discussion / What is margin trading? on: July 15, 2017, 05:47:43 PM
Am new to doing leverage and margin. Can someone explain in plain english?

For example, does the exchange drop or execute if my leverage reaches the maximum fund I have in the exchange? If so why would a trader (me) want to trade margin when I can just use an open order to predict the changes with the funds I actually have and buy.

It's probably a super simple question, so thanks in advance Smiley
369  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any new airdrop coins? on: July 14, 2017, 09:51:12 AM

Deeponion is not airdrop.

litecoin and ripple still relatively cheap. anyone think its a good time to enter? or shall we wait until after 1st august to enter?
sorry cryptonoob here
Id say that it is a good time to enter ripple if you want because price is still at 0.00008532 BTC which is cheap and it has a lot of potential because it was launched just 2 years after bitcoin launched and it is still alive now but for litecoin I guess it is not a good time because price is not that cheap at all.

What's your take on the ripple founder fiasco that resulted in their CTO/founder leaving to start Stellar Lumen.

I have some Ripple too but please let me know if you have some insights
372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / WAVES coining leasing experience on: July 13, 2017, 02:13:04 PM
Hi guys, what's your experience so far? Is it worth it.

Another thing, I have very little WAVES coins and definitely don't want transaction fees to take up a big % of the leasing income. There were discussion regarding whether can we collect the leasing fees for a longer time and send it in a single transaction.
373  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitpay client wallet safe comes Segwit2X on: July 13, 2017, 02:03:53 PM
As long as you have the private key it isn't going to matter what wallet you use, the only thing you need to be careful of in the event of a chain split is replay attacks which is where they can resend the transaction on the other fork if u send a similar one on the other chain.

Thanks.

I've decided to move most of my funds away nonetheless.

Another reason was the copay/bitpay two version issue, and a client without password protection. Also because the team didn't come out and issue a decision about Segwit2X.

Kudos nonethless because bitpay felt like a super user friendly client with great UI/UX.

I am have a copy of the private key through passphrase, but is Bitpay client wallet safe comes Segwit2X?

Their CEO seems to mention something contrary to supporting Segwitx2, iirc.

tonych,

out of curiosity, why didn't you list byteball on yobit?

378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Upcoming Segwit questions on: July 13, 2017, 07:18:03 AM
Segwit2x is a short form for Segwit and 2mb block size increase. AKA "take out some data from the block then increase block size".

So I would say people are using SegWit and SegWit2X term interchangeably. Though they are slightly different.

Time wise, it's the last week or ten days or so before August and then just sit and wait for the dust to settle. When it does we will all know Wink
379  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The 10 Oldest Altcoins on: July 13, 2017, 06:24:28 AM
oldest altcoin still good and active in market

1 litecoin (the first altcoin after bitcoin)
2 dogecoin (second altcoin after bitcoin and litecoin)
3 xrp
4 monero
5 DASH
I don't think xrp, monero and Dash were the 3rd to 5th altcoins ever created, so how are you listing these?

Its quite strange that there is no list or stat available where we can see for sure, the list of all alts according to their age.

He said oldest and still ACTIVE.
