Anyone else manage to get in on the recent bump in ADA price?

Bought at .40, sold at 1.20.  Could have done better but I'll never complain about 300% profit.

I'm trying to find the official ANN page of Cardano in Bitcointalk. Looks like there is none.  $17B market cap for such a very short time is impressive.

Because it's actually 200%.

Cardano's whitepaper is one of the best I've seen. A must read!

If you keep your cardano on the exchange everything is pretty good. But here with a purse not all so is smooth. There is a version only for 64 bit sysmem windows. Also, the client takes up a lot of hard disk space and draws a lot of system resources. I would like to see an easy version of wallet.

Cardano's version of the blockchain is 3.0 and it works with lags, at least for now. That did not stop Cardano to be in 5th place and continue climbing, it is one of the top currencies for investing in 2018 in my opinion.

Cardano it is very attractive project. But my view that it had huge capitalization since start and we could not await many x from Cardano. But price will be growing, slow and stable. Looking for new projects on the Cardano blockchain, it could be more attractive for investments then core Cardano coin.

Roadmap is coming

Cardano Foundation enlist FP Complete for independent 3rd Party Audit of Cardano Blockchain

Development specialists will provide comprehensive review of Cardano’s code and technical documentation

Zug, Switzerland, 24 January 2018 - Cardano Foundation, the objective organisation supporting leading blockchain Cardano, has appointed FP Complete, an IT engineering specialist, to provide an independent audit of the engineering work completed by Cardano’s development team, IOHK, and to make recommendations for further audited improvements to the Cardano blockchain protocol.

Founded by former head of Microsoft’s own in-house engineering tools, Aaron Contorer, FP Complete is the world’s leading supplier of commercial-grade tools and engineering for Haskell – the functional programming language used to build Cardano’s third generation blockchain protocol. As part of the retained agreement, FP Complete will perform a code review to examine the quality of the Cardano software, with a focus on robustness, security and auditability.

The firm will also complete a review of Cardano’s technical documentation and operating procedures, enabling IOHK to use this ongoing work to optimize the engineering methods, tools, and coding standards used to implement Cardano. This approach to development is unique and demonstrates Cardano’s commitment to innovation and technical rigour.

From February, Cardano Foundation and FP Complete will produce regular reports that will be shared with the community detailing the results of the audit findings. This is an approach that meets with the Cardano project’s aims for transparency and Cardano Foundation’s objective to standardise, protect and promote the Cardano Protocol technology.

Michael Parsons Chairman & Executive Director, Cardano Foundation comments: “Adding FP Complete to our project team in this crucial role illustrates the Cardano Foundation’s commitment to high quality blockchain engineering, project transparency and a rigorous and independent auditing process. The appointment of FP Complete reflects these values.”

Aaron Contorer, CEO, FP Complete: "Cardano has prudently enlisted FP Complete for an independent 3rd Party Audit of the Cardano Blockchain to ensure its open source blockchain is as secure, stable and robust as possible. By appointing our highly experienced development team, Cardano will benefit from our expertise in continuous integration, engineering process management, Haskell engineering, and secure scalable cloud systems.”

Cardano for 60 cents is a unique sale, now is the time to buy this coin! By capitalization, the coin is already on the 5th place with a capitalization of 15 billion dollars! For example, the trading volume today in cardano exceeded the volume of IOTA and NEM combined 3.5 times! The only coin I bought for a long period and will consider selling only at the end of the year is Cardano. And I advise you!

[kohahan]

Below 50 cents we are unlikely to see, but to place an order for 55 most

[Remaginager]

will definitely bounce back to the position in the dollar!

Hi all!

Is it an official thread of Cardano here?

Hi all!

Is it an official thread of Cardano here?

There is some else https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2666372.0 but it seems to be dead

This is actually a promising cryptotoken, because only today it provides the solution to the current situation in the cryptoindustry: from an extremely small number of transactions per minute, extremely expensive commissions and costs for them. There is a PoS algorithm configured in their own Daedalus wallet.
Plus, a very competent team that dev the same Ethereum Classic, who was in the initial stage of creating such an asset as Ethereum. Follow the road map!

Well as far as I understand it, Cardano does not keep the privacy. It stores much more information about transactions than other crypto coins. Is this an advantage? I don't think so. I think most of people don't want a big brother to see and identify all their transactions. I predict better future for privacy coins. Or am I wrong?

I think being able to hide transactions will make it too easy to not pay taxes. This will hinder a lot of the privacy coins in the future as government regulation really starts to crack down on them. Cardano being much less private could allow it to get mass adoption because it won't be associated with money laundering, buying illegal drugs/guns/porn, or any other of the shady stuff that goes on.

Well it's a typical FUD about cryptos that they are mostly used for money laundering, buying illegal drugs/guns/etc. If anyone wants to buy drugs etc., they can use a lot of alternative ways - cash, gold, ..
Privacy is one of the sexiest things about the cryptos - people don't want to expose how much money they have, how much they spent for different things etc. Cryptos are here to give people one lost liberty back - the freedom to use their money as their wish without "Big Brother" controlling and overseeing them. As Benjamin Franklin said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." And Cardano is the first trial to steal that Liberty again. Cardano, you might fly to moon, but I will not buy you.
