8541  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH target 1000$ in ending of this year on: November 16, 2017, 05:38:58 PM
So, it would seem that this target will not be reached, with just over 6 weeks left to the end of 2017. Even if it gains 10% a week, it will not be enough,,, although if it does that, it will almost be double and I will hate myself for saying it!

On the other hand, if Bitcoin continue and crosses the 10k territory then ETH along with all the other alts will want to push boundaries and break new all times. So, who knows, $500 can be a good Christmas present for all you Ethereum holders. Too bad about the rewards going down, though.
8542  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What the hell ! Please everybody look at prices before buying BCC !! on: November 16, 2017, 04:50:50 PM
Im just happy that I never bought bitcoincash, the ones I got stay in my wallet eversince the fork and are supposed to rot there. No utility and no store of value. Just pure hype and nothing else. People that jump in bitcoincash will most likely regret it sooner or later. Even if they are still in profit, they would have made more with the BTC dip a few days back...

Why not just dump those coins on exchanges at these inflated prices? You might think you are showing a sign of support but those coins are not rotting there. There are making supply more scarce, in a way you could be inadvertently making it pump higher because there is less of it for sale on the market. In fact, this makes me think there must be hundreds of thousands of coins just lying around, because some Bitcoin users did not extract their Bitcoin Cash sitting somewhere on the blockchain. Maybe that is a small percentage of the reason causing it to be worth something?
8543  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ripple team up American Express on: November 16, 2017, 04:18:48 PM
I guess this must be good news for American investors but I have never seen an American Express sign or even ad in my country. I understand from media and from past people that it used to be accepted in a lot of places even here in Asia, but its time has come to pass. Maybe this is one of the way the company is trying to revive the fortunes. I know a lot of old companies are looking for some answer to the future, and blokchain seems to be the accessible answer. But for now, if Waves did not rise when Burger King used it, will Ripple rise when it is used by Amex?
8544  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you think LTC go up soon? on: November 16, 2017, 12:40:30 PM
Litecoin is always a good investment. It's shown moxy over the years and with all the bitcoin drama might suck up some of btc's dominance.

Moxy. That is a word I have not seen for more than ten years! But yes, Litecoin is always a good investment, and even at this price I always put aside a tiny bit of Bitcoin whenever I have spare. The drama free and friendly environment with a top notch active development team is going to make this a secure hedge for volatile crypto for many years. Even price wise if it stays sideways for 2018, I will never be concerned since I enjoy almost 100% gains today already.
8545  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are frequent Forked Bitcoin's coin mere speculative in nature or any utility ? on: November 16, 2017, 09:58:42 AM
Funny way to put it that Bitcoin can get pregnant with forks. But this is the reality fo decentralization where everyone can do anything they please, whether it is for the real fulfilment of their selfish goals or for the betterment of the crypto community. We saw this year the various forks and attempted forks. We saw how they were used to threaten people, threaten users, and we saw how some spoke of the true values of Bitcoin.

But in the end, we also saw how everything was driven by profit. And the so called ideals once touted are forgotten, it's all about mining and price now.
8546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why does it matter that there will be more hash power? on: November 15, 2017, 09:26:36 PM
Is it not that even with all the hashpower, it is still concentrated in almost the hands of the few? I read all the time that in China there is 80% of the hashrate. True, not all Chinese miners will jump at the same time as we have seen from Bitcoin Cash, Segwit2x, and Bitcoin Gold. But it almost happened, did it not? In theory, it is not so much hash power but the distribution that matters, or am I misunderstanding the meaning of this 51% attack threats.

I thought the network was virtually/p secure even two years ago at half the hashpower of today.
8547  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Antshares/ NEO [NEO] on: November 15, 2017, 08:01:27 PM
So we have several best prices and best entry points, all purporting great value for NEO. The heaviest times were around the time it was around $30. I almost got in too, because of Red Pulse. Luckily I missed out on that ICO, early problems distributing and then immediate heavy losses abounded. Then when it slid to $25 people said buy more. At $20 it was an opportunity not to be missed!

It eventually got down all the way to $17 I believe? Now it is almost $30 so at least everyone is relieved. But not those who bought with BTC!
8548  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: November 15, 2017, 04:39:00 PM
I think next year is possible but not probable.  My central estimate is q1 2019. What you do in your trousers is of no interest to me.

I am no expert on dash, but consider it conceivable, if unlikely, that it may be 4000 in the same quarter; however, it is at least equally likely that a reflexive cascade of masternode liquidations, or instamine dishoarding, or a high-visibility compromise - take your pick; surely compromise would lead to a torrent of liquidation - will take dash down to double digits, even single, at that time.


I am no expert in either Dash or Monero, but if you look from my simplistic average user (yes, user, nor just hoarder and definitely not trader), then you can understand my long surprise with how they have both turned out so far in terms of price.

I have so many uses for Monero, but only know 1 place that I might use it.

Forget comparisons of tech, both are probably too sophisticated for users like me to utilize 100%. I cannot speculate what Dash or XMR will cost in 2018 or 2019.

But exactly, 4000 is posssible, I can imagine it for DASH. But I can more easily imagine worse things like you point out: MN liquidations, instamine offloading.
8549  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bjork endorsing AudioCoin - Giving 100 free AudioCoins with her new album. on: November 15, 2017, 10:48:26 AM
If they know exactly what their doing then they're commiting fraud.  And that means prison time for them.  I think Bjork herself has no idea what's going on, but someone in her circle is the type of scammer I described above.  So maybe they can escape prison since they're unaware that they are scamming.  Lol.

that means the majority of users on this forum are fraudulent criminals  Cheesy

You know, it would be interesting if someone involved with a crypto project would be pursued by legal officers and prosecuted in court of law. Up to now, we have seen crypto exchange owners on trial like Mt Gox but that is not a cryptocurrency itself.

We have also seen police raid OneCoin and such but again that is not a real cryptocurrency, simply a ponzi scheme with not even a real blockchain, just a fake coin to sell to MLM people and reap commission profits.

Hope Bjork does not get caught up in this.
8550  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Waves future price on: November 14, 2017, 11:16:18 AM
How could it be an ethereum killer while waves coin is less far than ethereum itself? Waves is little bit questionable to me and I will be surprise if they can defeat the current standings of the ETH in future. But let see what will happen on it since there are some certain things that can lift up the waves but seems the dev of it can put it down since it's been tag with shadiness for the past days.

I really do not like it when people refer to Waves as an Ethereum killer,,, since when do people like to regard these platforms as competitors to each other? Besides, if price and not product is the estimate of success, then are we saying Bitcoin Cash is the winner, and it has killed Ethereum? Of course not.

Waves to me has already incredible use as a decentralized exchange. The ease of use and basic attractiveness of the GUI is a beauty. Give it time, people will come on board. And they do not need to abandon Ethereum or anything. Just another tool, with different uses.
8551  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: POSW coin on: November 14, 2017, 08:40:30 AM
I almost forgot about posw coin actually. All I remember was a few months ago they launched an internal ICO, and then their coin got worse and worse value, and they even had a hack? I was really interested in their model of staking because I could not afford to stake wallets on my own, so was a bit disappointed when they had to stop their project. POSW 2.0 it was then. What are the new developments I wonder.

Their idea is still brilliant actually, wonder why no project tried the same?
8552  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gold (BTG) on: November 14, 2017, 07:25:20 AM
Wow, just wow. We all knew the problems would come, we all expected it. But even I thought that it was premeditated, that the problems gave the delays necessary for the devs to keep on mining. I actually thought they were going to properly launch and fix all their problems so they could continue shaving the community for money.

And then this happens. Actual proof that the devs are so incompetent.

Warning to forkers: this is the reason Bitcoin core is respected and when they think something is not safe or ready, you better be sure they know what they are talking about.
8553  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What will happen if Bitcoin Gold (BTG) goes live? on: November 13, 2017, 06:40:32 PM
I just think both bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold may be accepted by cryptocurrency folks like the alternate currencies.
If you imagine bitcoin cash was considered one of worthless coins but now it is nearly $2500.
It depends on demand, traders can make any coin skyrocketing anytime.

Both will be accepted by crypto trader and speculator folk, apart from their own miners and supporters. Kind of worse than most alts actually, who have proper projects and roadmaps. Bitcoin Gold is already live now, and they also had their premine (to pay for what, we have to trust it is for dev salary!).

Bitcoin Cash was not considered worthless, it was considered pointless. Just because it trades now at $1300 (yes, half the value you posted yesterday) does not make it worthy or worthless. It has value, but not beyond trading.
8554  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] PrivCoin.io Mixing service for Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash on: November 13, 2017, 06:20:27 PM
Compared to the former best out there, we are technologically identical in every way except two.

Same as Bitmixer, we offer custom delays per address, custom percents per address and custom fees. Better than Bitmixer, we get your forwarded coins to you usually in the next block by paying higher miner fees. We also support 4 different crypto currencies where Bitmixer only supported one.

In the future we will also support a Coin Join mixing implementation.

To summarize, if you are looking for a service to replace Bitmixer and keep the same flow you should use PrivCoin.

Thank you very much for your responses. That itself is a sign of a good service.

Indeed, offering 4 different cryptos (including of course Bitcoin) is already a huge advantage - will you be able to offer cross-coin mixing in the future? That is, I sent Bitcoin and request say Litecoin? Coin Join is great but I can already do that in certain wallets though of course if this is an all in one package, I foresee better convenience with using PrivCoin.
8555  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BCH or BTC? on: November 13, 2017, 11:39:09 AM
BHC did some extraordinary stuff yesterday and saw almost 2k that’s understandable for some people to freak about it but i don’t think we will ever see bitcoin cash taking down the bitcoin. Bitcoin cash already started to fall and will get stabilized in even lower spot.

Oh, the big miners and corporate suit clad exchange owners and payment service providers have all made their money yesterday, especially in South Korea where they made $1000 more above market prices elsewhere. You are absolutely correct that it will never challenge Bitcoin for the crown of crypto but trust me, they have enough resources to keep on manipulating BTC/BCH difficulty for many more adjustments. I almost wish I had the same capacity, it is very sad to see this easy money flow happening. But then, we should also blame the speculating community. But then, they are just doing what they are good at.
8556  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ripple: A long term investment or short term? on: November 13, 2017, 09:52:04 AM
Yes Ripple is an altcoin with high potential
It's old and reliable
Never hacked Smiley these are nice things to trust

I would not tempt fate or hackers with this kind of statement to be honest. Never hacked simply means hackers have not tried hard enough. With Ethereum wallets, for example, lots of funds to steal to make the hacking worthwhile. With Bitcoin, even in Singapore now they predict quantum computing to be able to crack it by 2029. And we know that tech predictions tend to be shortlived as technology advances far quicker than most people think. Hack-proof does not exist. Hack-resistant is the best anyone can hope for.
8557  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] PrivCoin.io Mixing service for Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash on: November 12, 2017, 07:35:41 PM
Sorry to come late to the party! I have never needed to consider any other mixing service since I started using one recently, as I chiefly only need to add privacy to my Bitcoins. However, with considerable amounts of my crypto portfolio will now almost permanently in alts, including Litecoin and Ethereum, I am looking to a mixer that supports these too. I will probably not start mixing until next year, if at all, depending a lot on what happens with the market, but better to start preparations early.

Question for Privcoin: you say you are the most advanced. Can you explain how? P.S. Let us compare to one of the best out there that has now closed down (bitmixer).
8558  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Pure Investments - Signals, Advice, Mentoring, ICO's, Learning - Free/Trial/Paid on: November 12, 2017, 05:55:19 PM
Nice calls I am seeing here, although I think all these signals are claiming to have made the BCH calls. A few questions before I decide to try, if you don't mind.

1)What has been the nett gain/loss overall since starting? I know you only show off the best. But I also want to know what the losses have been.
2)Do you provide entry and exit points?
3)Are signals instant, meaning I have to be online to follow? What if I only log in once a day, will I be able to still benefit?
4)Do you also provide % of bankroll to use for signals?

Thank you in advance.
8559  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How to claim Bitcoin Cash from Block.io on: November 12, 2017, 04:07:14 PM
You might want to discover and read the other sections in this forum about how to "claim" coins from a fork. One example is here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=87.0

The important ones to read about are about the hard fork.

In summary, for me:
1. Visit the official page of the fork, in your case Bitcoin Cash.
2. Find the guide that lists official wallets supporting it.
3. Import your private keys from block.io
4. You have your coins (inside the BCH wallet).
8560  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is there really a need for lot of new exchanges? on: November 12, 2017, 03:19:35 PM
There are fewer than 100 exchanges, and there are fewer than 10 trusted exchanges, fewer than 5 well used and trafficked sites and that is nowhere near the number that would make it worth posting here. I do not know what you think would be a better number, but you have picked a strange number to attack, there are way too many coins, too many invested ICO's and such, but the exchanges are right where they need to be.

I must say you have a huge list of trusted exchanges! I use a few major ones which I might score 6 on a scale of 1 - 10 for reliability, and perhaps I would "trust" decentralized exchanges like Waves with a 8 score. Then again, I don't have to trust Waves or any other Dex to use them and that is their biggest advantage over the others. Whatever balances they say I have on my wallets, I can verify on any explorer.

Poloniex et al can say whatever they want me to see, and I will not be able to breathe with relief until I get my coins back from them.
