It seems like this is it http://fortune.com/2017/08/24/mark-cuban-blockchain-mercury-protocol/

The only research i did was i checked if Mark Cuban backed it and it does seem like it. I already got like x8 or something, idk what now.

Marc Cuban(Investor, billionaire, figure on Shark Tank, owner of Dallas Mavericks) is backing Mercury Protocol(GMT) https://www.mercuryprotocol.com/about



Has anyone looked into Mercury Protocol? I bought it few weeks ago when it was like 5m$ marketcap, honestly i didn't even look into it much but it seemed heavily undervalued, probably due to the fact it was only on etherdelta. Made some nice profits, but would be good to know if project is good for long term(since Mark Cuban is backing it?).

Have you checked any other coin except for monero?

There will never be(probably) "the new bitcoin", but as a privacy coin, the best one is likely to win.

They just launched new website(new design i mean)
https://zensystem.io/

So yeah i can see there are many projects sprouting around and it's hard to check so many, a lot of them are probably straight up scams.

So my question is, what's your favorite/most promising decentralized exchange so far? I've seen cryptobridge and something like DAG mentioned which is scalable and has big potential, does maybe someone know anything else about it? I will be reading the whitepaper tomorrow.

Yeah lol every single shitcoin has pumped, but nothing on Zencash. You can see this is a hype-driven market and fundamentals are not important. Ugh, time will weed out shitty projects and coins like Zencash will make their way up? I hope so...

You've came a few years too late.

DISCLAIMER: the coin started to pump before i posted this. i also own a lot of zencash and have been holding for some time!! i am not recommending you anything at this point. i have no f# idea what i'm doing(i feel like i'd get sued if i didn't post this?? just in case <.<)

Zencash(a privacy coin and platform) is advised by Charles Hoskinson(co-creator of Ethereum-2nd crypto by market cap and Cardano(ada), which is 5th cryptocurrency by marketcap.

I haven't seen Charles Hoskinson advise any other project. (except for ETC, CARDANO). Maybe there is, idk?

But he's advising Zencash with his firm(IOHK)?! This smells good!

I have read some things about Zencash but NOT DEEP enough, can someone explain(some fan perhaps) WHY zen, does it has real world use case and can it actually work or...?

Some pictures i found

Any thoughts on the projectz?

Why would it need an ETH pair? The balance is trading on the exchange, so doesn't really matter...

Oh okay thanks for clarifying

The altcoins are a massive bubble though!

There will be a lot of innovation as well ofcourse.

Bitcoin smart, bitcoin interest and bitcoin private are the upcoming forks;
https://satoshibakery.com/bitcoin-upcoming-forks-list-dates-calendar.php

Do you think the markets are 100% rigged by whales? Because that's what it seems like.

Just looking at when the bitcoin mempool was spammed, it seems to correlate with the altcoins prices raising. You can see all noobs complaining how btc is slow, expensive and outdated(while i disagree) so the method is working. Is someone spamming mempool to further boost the altcoin market and organize huge pumps and dumps?

Again some activity. Idk if it is artificial or natural pump who knows.

Anyways i still stand by my words and i believe this niche has ENORMOUS potential but it is very hard to know if swarm city will be the one who succeeds.

There are also some ICOs missing but they will be added through time.

 I thought Raiblocks was rebranding to DADI? My bad if not

Raiblocks literally copy and pasted the whitepaper from SONM project (Supercomputer organized by network mining)
https://twitter.com/skygrepper/status/949472759825842176

SONM targets cloud services and decentralized computing, similar to what Golem does
SONM; https://sonm.io/

Disclaimer; I want a discussion, what do you think this means for SONM(i think it is a good thing), i DO own SONM and i am NOT telling you to buy it, i am just asking. Seems like these days you have to explicitly scream these things out loud...

Well Bitcoins(and any other blockchains) biggest problem is scallability. Did the internet have the same scaling problems?

So i'm just wondering....something that will change humanity forever(invention of bitcoin), can it be done in the first try? Bitcoin is just a first try and it's hard to imagine it will be the best of them all? Or will it work as a reserve currency for the crypto economy(like gold).

They often referr Bitcoin to this picture


But i don't understand what they mean with that. Is it that a new crypto will emerge and be the "better car", or is this the Bitcoin in the early stages. Does it has a GOOD core-the underlying protocol is all we need, and everything above will be created on another(upper) layers? Or will another cryptocurrency take over?


Because you see a lot of Bitcoin maximalists(even andreas). Like there can only be one gold. You can't just say this X shitcoin is the new gold, it will not work.

Is Bitcoin IT?
