8981  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Liqui.io NOT honoring withdrawals! on: August 25, 2017, 09:58:29 AM
On one hand, Liqui's guaranteed API for their lending programme was always too good to be true (how can you ever guarantee anything beyond 1% a year anyway? Even the biggest banks will do this only for their biggest clients). So this always felt like a risky venture.

On the other hand,,, all of you posting here are Newbie accounts with only a couple posting proof.

I tried to click the link to watch the group out of my curiosness, but the invite seems to have expired. Does anyone know of any similar successful group? All I see is bad reviews. Sometimes even unhappy pumpers. But honestly I would like to see for myself how such things are coordinated. If it does not work why do people keep doing it right?
8983  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Newbie to Altcoins on: August 25, 2017, 08:23:25 AM
In the search for altcoins to invest in please is volume also a determing factor. Like lets say coins with high 24hrs volume, do they tend to perform better than those with low or non existent volume. Thanks in anticipation for your opinions.


Hey you can check this out too http://bounty.authorship.com/ref/V8218338

Careful, you can be banned for posting referral links. Even that alt you are promoting can be banned with so many people promoting it.

On alts, be patient. Take your time to read and learn before even buying anything. Do take notes and see if your predictions were correct. Never go all in. Never use emotion. Be diligent and always keep sharing!

I have read a bit of it. Yes it sounds very interesting but I do not really understand why this is different from the things I already do?

For example, my email is my chief evidence for everything I do - it has time stamp and server information that can be retrieved. I keep all chat logs and all voice call logs. If I use this chatbot for everything,,, maybe I do not see a good reason.
8985  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LiteCoin worth investing in now? on: August 24, 2017, 05:14:56 PM
There are plenty of altcoins that you need to choose don't choose LTC because for me if i had low budget since i started with altcoins im always preferred to read about the topics about cryptocurrencies that has very potential to increase with in a week choose another coin like ethereum or ethereum classic litecoin is a very low you can't even assured your earnings there.

The problem with those "good value" low cost altcoins is that they can just go and lose 70-80% value in a matter of days. I got burnt by many alts like this. I won't choose Litecoin as my main alt investment but I still see it as a small hedge. It has been on a slow and steady roll, and I won't mind if it drops 5-15%, as I know it continues to grow and will always recover. It is like Silver after all. Never shiny like gold but never bad enough to throw away.
8986  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Filing a lawsuit against Genesis Mining on: August 24, 2017, 04:29:41 PM
Funny is how first they have some IT problems, and then later a hack is announced. Every time a service runs into problems, they blame it on hackers - so convenient. Anyway, this is another story in many stories you can find online about Genesis Mining. They claim so much and look so professional, but so many customers even from more than 1 year ago complain that they lose money.

Lesson: cloud mining is not profitable, unless you are a whale.
8987  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Binance B.S. on: August 24, 2017, 04:06:13 PM
Might be a good time to dump some of that BNB  Undecided

Sorry but why are you trying to download BNB just because the site is momentarily down?
So a few months ago, you had to sell all your ETHs because the etherscan network was blocking every new big ICO?
Or then abandon polinex or bittrex because when a new coin is added they go down.

This is the first ICO on BNB.
Take the time to grow and improve this new exchange!

Well, a company that ruined my morning, and didn't plan ahead around issues. But it's all OK, I made money on BNB, and repurchased at a cheaper price. I guess that will make up for it for now. However, the fact they call this ICO a "Success" is pretty funny. Still lame, I spent two hours trying to get the TRON purchase, had to go to work for an hour, come back and it was all purchased. Sad I'm gonna ride it out a little longer, but not impressed.

Which ICO would call their efforts a failure anyway? I have even seen one or two active ICOs on this forum extend and re-extend their ICOs, calling each round a great success. Then you look at their ICO addresses and see small amounts incoming (and of course going out). I guess whatever works, will work. Until we punish them for their incompetence,,, they will continue to launch and milk newbies.
8988  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The next 100x-1000x coin? on: August 24, 2017, 07:53:36 AM

If you consider IOTA, then you should take a look at RaiBlocks (XRB)

Raiblocks has IOTA like features, but with a market cap of 15 million compared to 2.4B market cap of IOTA

- No fees: The RaiBlocks network has no notion of fees.
- Low latency: Transactions are natively processed instantly giving a responsive experience.
- Scalability: Micropayments require a system capable of significant scalability
- Simplicity: Users have a simple experience without technical jargon.

Their wallet release is almost ready, and I personally see this as my next X100 (average entry 1000 sats)

You can trade RaiBlocks on Bitgrail/Mercatox. Bittrex will probably add them soon after their wallet is released and stable

IOTA I can understand, again a lot of hype but we will have to wait and see before we can tell if it will become big. But RaiBlocks is a bit funny if you ask me. For months all people are doing is selling off XRB for prices that are getting lower and lower. A lot of simple bots "mined" XRB and today on faucet sites people are just spending time entering captchas to sell off instantly for satoshi.

It's impossible to buy now as it just keeps getting lower.
8989  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Making bitcoin with twitter still possible? on: August 24, 2017, 06:59:59 AM
Ok, now I am curious. Besides all the posts here about Twitter bounty campaigns on bitcointalk for crypto, is there any OTHER way to make Bitcoin with Twitter? I must have created more than five accounts on either Twitter or Facebook every time I need one of those accounts to join a site (I really hate that actually). But then I never remember to save the emails or passwords.

But if people really are making a lot of Bitcoins, I would like to know. I see payments here not really worthwhile for the effort of having 100s of followers.
8990  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Do you trust Poloniex? on: August 23, 2017, 02:42:28 PM
I don't trust any exchange anymore. There are some I distrust less than others and Poloniex is one of them but we must all move our attention now to decentralised exchanges. This is the only way we can regain control over our deposits and withdrawals WITHOUT having to trust people. Can we please now support them? Do it on Waves, do it on Counterparty, anywhere! Tell Polo we are tired of them!
8991  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: red pulse ICO worth it? on: August 23, 2017, 02:20:23 PM
I'm extremely put off by ICOs with such large bonuses (there are other things I hate like crazy premine and big bounties but this is the worst). I can maybe see the point of 10 to 20% to encourage people to come and invest early but when you give away 30 to 40% bonuses, it just encourages profit takers. Imagine if you buy 100 at 1000 satoshi, and you get 140 including bonus.

Then ICO opens at 800. You sell 140, you STILL make profit. What happens? Price goes even lower. Everyone else suffers.
8992  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The next 100x-1000x coin? on: August 23, 2017, 07:37:52 AM
OpenANX, waves, humaniq, insurex, TAAS, and proably ethereum classic. Yes it's not wrong, I said etc, because I expect hard pump from etc if Assians markets get more intereted in it. The price can be much higher than this.

First time I ever heard of ETC being talked up ever, not to mention 100x! Would you mind sharing why you think a hard pump is coming from Asian markets? They already know about ETC for sure, and already have lots of ETH to play around with. Why would they pick up Classic? Humaniq? 100x from current price or ICO?
8993  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Token price fall after ICO on: August 23, 2017, 06:15:56 AM
MANY examples of such tokens, which is the main problem people don't understand when investing in ICO. A lot of ICOs pretend to want to develop projects  but really are get rick quick schemes from unscrupulous people. Throw in a bit of work every now and then. Talk big. And deliver small steps. Some collect millions but can't recruit simple community managers to help calm down angry crowds.
8994  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Last chance to get some GEO before today's pump bump on: August 22, 2017, 02:46:07 PM

Thanks!

As for advice, hmm... Honestly, I should be asking other people for advice not the other way around.  But if I have learned anything so far, I think this is what's working out best for me so far:

Two main strategies for investing:

1) All your eggs in one (or few) baskets

2) A few eggs in many baskets.

Both have strengths and weaknesses, but I prefer #2.  Safer in the long run and gives you more options, every day just watch and see what's doing good, focus on that one.  What I like to do is find something that tends to violently spike every so often, buy in a dip, put in a sell of half of it for twice what I bought it for, and wait.  Might be waiting a while.  But when it hits, you covered your buy in and you still have half left for free.  If it doesn't spike that big, you can also say... buy 3, sell 2 at 150% buy cost and again end up with 1 free, etc.

Then, keep track of the ones you got for free and know that if you ever need to liquidate them for some other trade, you can do that at any time without concern for your purchase price.

Strategy #1's strengths are potentially bigger and faster gains.  Weaknesses are potentially bigger and faster losses.  And if you're under the buy in rate, you're tied up until it picks up, and you miss opportunities.

Strategy #2's downsides are higher transaction costs, slower return (but steadier), and sometimes it stings when one picks up and you think 'if only I had put all my eggs in *that* basket'.  But I'll take 'oww, I didn't make as much money as I could have' over 'OWWWW I LOST A WHOLE LOT'.  Steady return eventually turns into a bigger stack and lower return rates on that bigger stack are larger than higher return rates on a small, unstable investment.

Also, this is obvious but some people just ignore it: Research your buys.  Know about the investment before you put any money into it.  Know when important events are going to happen.  Know who the competitors are and what they're doing.  Listen to the haters, even if you don't agree with them.

That's pretty much the only info I have of value, anything else is speculation.

Anyone want to buy me a beer?  1DzNQaGds3NxVBatAGaWRF9qieyuR6M7qA  - THANKS



Thank you for the sharing!

Haha well you would definitely have deserved a beer from me but I missed the call on GEO,,, If I ever see you make a call again. And I join in time! I will definitely remember to pass you a beer tip. The only thing is I am also new and followed one person already. And it turned out bad. But I am a big bagholder for alts now so it is not VERY bad.
8995  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ICO] FunFair.io - Disrupting Online Gaming - New Casino Platform on: August 22, 2017, 02:22:31 PM
This price is taking off like crazy. Was hoping to get in but now I am going to have to wait for a correction (hopefully one happens). The tech and graphics of this gambling platform will take it to the top. I don't even gamble but the demo is fantastic

These are mock-ups wait till you see the real deal.

All of the games are in prototype form right now, and although they are good compared to other blockchain games, we want them to be a lot better and they need to be really great before we release them, as they need to compete against all other online games, and not just blockchain games. IE: by year end, we hope to have reached an extremely high game standard.

As far as I think, crypto gamblers are less interested in tech and graphics. Low house edge, provably fair systems, FAST betting, good community. These are the things Bitcoin gamblers love. This is why people splash 100 BTC wagers at simple bitcoin dice games. And deposit only $200 into super flashy non-crypto casinos.

Did you do any research to find out what crypto gamblers like?
8996  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Selling Minexcoins on: August 22, 2017, 02:09:28 PM
Hello all,

I want to sell all of mine 221 Minexcoins, for more info please PM.
why almost all of the bounty participants of minex bounty trying to sell all of their coins including you, i don't know if you are investor or bounty hunter still you want to sell your minex's what is the reason?

This is the main reason I think ICOs with big bounties are a bad idea from the beginning. Bounty hunters are blameless, they are looking to cash out their coins and have no affiliation to the project. This is not wrong, but they should be paid properly with marketing funds, not ICO tokens, since it is payment for a service.

But yes, so many selling Minex, and by the price offers that are going lower and lower, I guess no one wants to buy them?

Welcome to bitcoin. The 'hot mess supermodel'. When it works it's great.
When it don't she's a Banshee. If you plan on sticking around, you'll be
in this constant pattern

Bitcoin: Always Drama 🌪

Actually, Bitcoin is "Always Drama" only if you are spending all day reading the crypto sites for news, bitcointalk for postings and social media. If you are like a lot of other people who only bought Bitcoin and read about it in mainstream media, you would never realise even an ounce of the drama we hear and read about all the time.

This makes it no different from oil drama, or gold drama... etc.
8998  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] Dmarket - the worlds first decentralized, cross-game marketplace. on: August 22, 2017, 06:51:14 AM
I'm getting confused by some of the discussions here. But let me try and separate the main points from both sides.

Side A is asking why not use smart contract to secure the ICO sales.
Side B is saying there is no need.
My thought is a lot of ICOs are done like this, so yes, there is no need, if you believe the developer. You trust the developer will create and credit all tokens after ICO.

Side A is unsatisfied with lack of reason for this, but Side A... this is how it's done for many ICOs, and yes of course it will mean you are unhappy but that is it. Side B, maybe got confused and did not understand that Side A just wants to have more transparency. Simple answer: there is not 100% transparency in any ICO so far.

Am I correct?
8999  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Last chance to get some GEO before today's pump bump on: August 21, 2017, 06:52:48 PM
Nice call greyworld. I only just saw this or I might have put some of Bittrex portfolio against GEO. I'm still holding a lot of XEL that I'd have been happy to convert to a moving coin. Also your advice for taking back initials is similar to what I read about "how to hold bags". Any chance you could share some of these tips again?

This type of news reminds me how little I know about crypto. I never heard about Bithumb exchange until today, and now I am reading it is the biggest exchange possible? I wonder how I never managed to see it even looking at all the exchanges on coinmarket. Good news for Monero,,, yet again I miss out on an alt that has doubled. Still good to buy in at 80 right?
