Yes, PIVX Is Now Top 20 CryptoCurrency In World

[AusKipper]

Okay I guess I was wrong about you then.

Your grovelling apology has been noted.


.... waiting for new block to be mined ...


And accepted.



This is off topic, but, what are your thoughts on Decred Cryptohunter?

Will you be laughing at me soon as its value plummets (as it has since I brought it yesterday!) or you think its an ok choice?

Its worth noting here that a lot of this is on the to-do list. I mean the 10% treasury system broke 6 months ago with a "small bug" (according to someone in slack) and it still not fixed. Zerocoin protocol is "to do" not implemented.

Now i'm not saying I dont like the idea of the coin, but I hope the dev's have the skill and endurance to do what they say they are going to do with it.

PIVX looks like one of the better designed coins on paper and I was hoping to jump in on it when it was just under 5c.

However, being a developer for more than 15 years, my instincts drove me to learn a little more about the core team writing the software. GitHub produces a nice activity chart for a developer and their contributions. Apart from the few commits on GitHub over the past 6 months, there's not much activity under these devs.

The devs also don't use their real identities unlike what I've observed in other core teams. This is perfectly understandable if they had day jobs and contribution here could be seen as a conflict of interest. But it does validate the point that perhaps there aren't any full-time devs working on this project (broken treasury?), nor is it possible to ascertain their skills and their ability to deliver what's on paper.

I've been trying to get a closer a look at the developers workflow, their kanban board, to get an understanding of how well they're organized and coordinate their work, what they're working on right now, what's done and in testing, the QA process, etc. For a community that claims to be the most open and transparent, this information is locked away. I tried pinging various folks in the team over the past 3 days and have had no luck. Some team members responded saying they aren't sure how and where the core devs are organizing their work. I've seen a number of software projects fail or end up riddle with bugs and poor quality because of the skills of the people working on them. I'm not saying this is the case here yet, but it's becoming a concern. I wish they were a little more transparent on their actual blockchain developers.

So yeah, at a market-cap of $30M this looks way overpriced. They seem to very well organized with their marketing and community building though.

ausbob and auskipper?


anyway - yes if your concerns are reasonable then I hope they will answer you. Go post this on their thread and let me see if they answer your concerns.

I don't think they will reveal their id's however perhaps some of your questions could be answered. try it on there and see. I hope they are beavering away testing out zcoin implementation I saw something they posted on their thread that said initial testing or some kind of implementation has passed. If you're a crypto tech expert then sure why will they not give you some explanation or give you at least and indication they are working away even if github is not being updated yet. Go there now and ask. I don't think you should expect the secret sauce if that is what they are cooking but at least you should be able to judge if these people have skill set required to do what they say. Go ahead of course they should answer you to a certain degree. I heard that some devs that have been working on zcoin for a long time have joined the project but i don't have the tech skills to verify if it is true or not. If you have a chat with them and you understand this stuff at a deep level then speaking to them even if briefly you will be able to see if they know what they are talking about. Go to the thread and ask now. I will be interested please PM me your opinion after in case i miss it here.

Ha well it's fine I called you a dash shill but your later comments suggest the opposite. If you're wrong you're wrong.

I'm sorry but I don't have thoughts on decred I have not looked at it. However 2 people i trust the opinions of said it is one of the better dev teams.

I would not laugh at any honest investor who lost money. I have lost many times and it is not fun. I let nearly 1M dollars drop through my fingers after only a few months of finding crypto and starting with only a couple of mining rigs and no capital. To me 1M dollars is a lot of money so i often think about that. Although it was a good lesson learned very early on.

6mil to top ten.

Heading to top 3 below BTC and ETH (NEM and ZCash at 4 and 5), imo

If PIVX why not Bitsend?

I think we all need to take a second to look at Poloniex.

PIVX got to where it is without any major exchange. I am calling out Poloniex because they are the largest US altcoin exchange.

Two months ago Pascal Coin has a market cap of about $80k. Suddenly (without any major news) trading volume picks up and for about two weeks, someone is buying heavy volume without shaking market.

Then like MAGIC, Poloniex lists Pascal Coin, and the market cap goes to $8MM. Does anyone really believe that a third-party was not buying on insider Poloniex knowledge of a listing?

What is it worth now? $1.7MM.

Poloniex is playing a very dirty game.
I cannot wait until they get more heavily regulated, and the SEC/IRS investigates what has been going on, and they get shut down, the class-actioned to hell.

You would think that a major exchange should list any crypto that is top 25 market cap (achieved organically).

I guess Poloniex only wants to list crypto that they can buy through a third-party prior to listing.

...but PIVX has nothing to do with Polo yet.  Makes the growth even more impressive.

Or do you know something we don't...?

I'm sorry but I don't have thoughts on decred I have not looked at it. However 2 people i trust the opinions of said it is one of the better dev teams.

I wonder just how good "one of the better dev teams" they mean, is it top 3? top 20?

Of course it wouldn't have the best dev team, we both know Dash has the best dev team of any crypto.

Anyway, thanks for the reply.

I agree but i would say the same about any others.. they are all into shit when no one is looking.

PIVX is Proof of Stake Master Nodes and blockchain, which makes it totally different.

Top 3 dev teams IMO goes like this:
Bitcoin
Ethereum
Decred


The PIVX dev team has a lot to prove, and I don't get why this copy and paste coin (as far as Dash tech is concerned) or vaporware (as far as Zerocoin tech is concerned) is getting pumped higher than coins that have copied Dash with a fair distribution before (too many to list), have zerocoin technology implemented (like Zcoin), or Zcash technology (like Zcash or Zclassic). Actually, I get why... someone(s) pumping it. You've seen the newbie account hype machine on the forums lately, and obviously someone has been buying it up on the markets. It is no coincidence. I will sit on the sidelines and wait for the dump. Maybe, just maybe... after the dump, if they show progress in development, then it could turn into a decent coin that I will buy, but until then it is a highly orchestrated pump and dump.

Decred

Ethereum should have a good team considering how much money Intel and Microsoft and co threw at them

I'm glad Decred is your number 3 though. Hopefully they pull through with something really good, and can pull of the required marketing to compete with the other marketing machines out there.

[Searing]

Still looking at this ...can anyone point me to how masternodes work and/or how one goes about getting to run one?

thanks ..I think I'm caught up on the rest of the coin info

later

do you have a reference for this crazy claim or is this one of the many hype comments in the ethereum pump campaing.

the only time the names of Microsoft and Ethereum are heard together is on their Azure platform and for that you can add literary anything. if you don't believe me go check how many altcoins are saying Microsoft supports us because they have something on Azure

[TeraBite]

Current rise is just powerful marketing effect as I see very soon this pump will be over. PIVX will go back to its real place so better stay away when any train left the station and don't get loaded by shit bags.

You need exactly 10,000 coins and you can learn how to set it up on their website and wiki site. I don't know how to do it and I don't have the coins required anyway so I can't say more.

Well not a big enough whale to pay 8532.00 usd to get a masternode anyway lol

(I as a minnow aspire to 'whaledom', alas....seems not to be....I could make my own coin and be a legend in my own mind however)

I wouldnt hype Ethereum I dont have it and I dont like it.

I just read the title of a news article a few days ago:

http://fortune.com/2017/02/28/ethereum-jpmorgan-microsoft-alliance/

Now I have read it properly not just saw the title and made assumptions I realize the money hasnt gone to the dev team.

I still think the news article will be helping Ethereum though.
