Just a little news update.  It looks like the Ethereum Foundation needs to do another hard fork.  What in the world is happening?!?

Poloniex Nullifies Replay Attacks By Properly Separating ETC and ETH
Source

No Replay Attack Vulnerability On Poloniex

One of the biggest points of confusion revolves around the so-called “replay attacks”, which is an issue that should have been addressed by ETH developers months ago. Unlike the Ethereum developers, Poloniex made sure they separated ETH and ETC as best they could, resulting in the failure of replay attacks. Every address used on the Poloniex exchange exists on only one of the two blockchains.

On the Ethereum blockchain, however, ETH and ETC are still linked together. The developers assumed ETC would lose traction, while the opposite has happened over the past few days. As a result, ETH will need to implement another hard fork to rectify this sloppy coding by the developers. Never make assumptions in the world of cryptocurrency, they will come to haunt you.

That being said, users who make a deposit to Poloniex are still vulnerable to replay attacks. That is, assuming they haven’t taken the precaution of separating their ETC and ETH funds themselves. The Poloniex system will funnel funds accordingly to direct the balances to their unique addresses on the right blockchain, though.

The best way to solve this problem is by having users do everything they can to separate both wallets at an early stage, preferably before sending funds to the exchange. Most people use the Ethereum Mist wallet, which can be utilized as a sole ETC wallet by declining activating the hard fork code during setup. Do keep in mind parity client is still in development as well.

For the time being, there are still some interesting things that will need to happen shortly. First of all, the Ethereum developers will need to clean up their code to ensure the replay attacks will be invalid by default. Secondly, Ethereum Classic will not go away even though some people may want it to. There is support for this initiative, and the interest continues to grow.

Can you do an analysis of LIR. I would love to read it.

There was another attack on Ethereum recently?  Which chain the classic one or the fork?  I thought the fork one was already fixed from any more attacks.

New Attack Against The DAO Reveals Sloppy Coding By Slock.It
Source

Not too long ago, it appeared somebody has been draining funds from the DAO again. This is the third time such an attack took place in less than two months. More worryingly, it appears very similar attacks have been used in all three instances. Luckily, this final attack seems to be “white hat hacker probing”. Then again, they did reveal some very worrying parts about The DAO’s code, which may spell doom for the project altogether.

The DAO Has Some Very Bizarre Coding

It is safe to say the Ethereum community received a nasty surprise when The DAO was under attack for the third time. An unknown entity was withdrawing funds from the project’s account, even though the balance should have been zero after the hard fork. For some reason, there was close to 38,000 Ethereum in the balance, and funds were being transferred to a different account through a recursive bug.

As it turns out, one of the “white hat hackers” probing The DAO’s contract code was responsible for moving this funds out. But that was not the worrisome part, as further research unveiled sloppy coding that should not be there in the first place. Sometimes, it is tough to believe this project raised US$150m, as this was a honeypot waiting to be emptied by the look of things.

It could be XRP's turn to rise and shine under the sun.  I think it has reached its current bottom and there's no way but up.

XRP/BTC


Triple bottom found in XRP/USD at .0052 - .0053 USD.  Seems like a solid hold and support and it bounces up from that range.

What do you guys think?

Some good news for you guys and I hope it stays that way...  You know how the markets are, especially in cryptos.  I was kinda thinking twice if I post these charts and show you what's going on with them because I might jinx it.  But what the hell.  

MAID and FCT are now slowly trending.  What's good about them is they're slow trends.  The kind that you don't panic getting into.  So it's good placing a limit order below the current price without fear of getting left behind.

MAID/BTC


FCT/BTC


Now another crypto showing a little spunk is XRP.  This has been trading on decent volume and there are some traders who seem to be in a hurry getting into this taking them to bad entries.  But I've been watching this as you guys have seen in my posts prior.  

XRP/BTC


I also am thinking of taking Digibyte off the list.  There's not enough updates on the project and they seem to be hanging by a very thin thread.

Way to go with the Factom call! Of course, I'm saying this as someone who loaded up on it earlier.

Why haven't you listed Synereo AMPs yet?

[tokeweed]

Why haven't you listed Synereo AMPs yet?

I haven't looked into it because the volume of AMP is kinda low and inconsistent.  I'm also not aware that they have a running platform unless I missed something.

[tokeweed]

Hello Altcoin fans.  Just a little update.  I removed Digibyte, DigixDAO and Storj from the list.  DigixDAO and Storj have mostly low volume and with Digibyte, I feel that it is getting behind the rest of the pack.  It generally feels like it's still a 1.0 coin despite their efforts.

I might be adding ETC and STEEM soon.  That should be two good additions to the list.

Stratis recently raised 915 BTC

[tokeweed]

I will look into it.  But as far as I know Stratis isn't listed in any exchange yet.  I usually wait a month or two after a coin's listing in an exchange (preferably at Polo) and observe its volume.  If it's good or decent then that's a good sign, I put it in my watch list.

Anyway MAID broke out!  I will post charts later.

A little update on BTS, FCT and MAID.  FCT and MAID broke out and are trending right now, but there's still time to get in.  You just have to pick your spots right.  While BTS is kinda trending but it's still waiting for that little nudge to take it to break out land.    It's the kind of price action that I like though.  It makes it easier to buy.  Just make a limit order and wait for it to get filled.  Simple.

By the way, in case you guys are wondering at what exchange these altcoins are good to buy, almost all the volume is at Poloniex right now.  That's the only exchange I would currently recommend if you're a newbie in trading altcoins.  I hope they list Waves over there soon.  

But keep in mind, the altcoin scene is very dynamic.  What's good yesterday will change tomorrow real quick.  So it's good to always get updated.

I will look into this.  Their debut on Bittrex looks good the last time I checked.  It's just a matter of maintaining high/decent volume consistently. 

Ever hear of PeerPlays

You will when it becomes the first profitable DAO

Yup I've heard about it.  But I'm afraid it's not trading with a high enough volume.

thanks

Lol.  Thanks, I guess. 

[tokeweed]

It's moving right now and poised to breakout barring a surge up in BTC.  If BTC continuous to go sideways/trend slowly down then getting in DGB now could make some profit.  But be wary, its volume is on the lower side but decent.  Be ready for any spikes up.

DGB

Well will you look at that?!?  

I posted about DGB weeks ago only to let go of it a few days later because it hit my stop loss and didn't give it a second look.  I even removed it from my watchlist because I felt there wasn't enough going on behind the scenes with it in terms of further development or interests from start ups.  It felt like it is just there waiting, but nothing was coming.

Anyway this has been going on for the last couple of days.  Notice the spike in price and volume.  I wish I got back in.  But oh well...

DGB/BTC




If you want a little something something from the old school coins, take a look at Doge (not on my watchlist).  This is better than DGB, it has more volume, way more liquidity but it can spike the same way DGB does without the fear of holding the bag last because all that liquidity makes it easy to let it go without upsetting the price too much.

Doge/BTC

Good analysis, I think you will like Stratis soon, because it is no.1 volume coin in bittrex for many days. 

[tokeweed]

There it is!  BTS broke out .00001 BTC.  I honestly thought this would never happen this month as there are some whales that are controlling the price on Polo.  Now I hope it could maintain its price above .00001 BTC and see it trend from there.

Notice the spike in price and volume.  That's usually a good sign and hopefully it comes more and more from now on.
