Problem is this is a brand new exchange and nobody should trust exchanges which pop up like mushrooms overnight. There is no credibility and no integrity. No track record and no extensive positive feedback. Anyone can hire coders and software people to create an exchange or trading platform in a matter of days and have it running with impressive words and nice UIs. For starters, you could be scammers hoping to cash in by enticing people to send coins to your hot wallets.

I suggest you escrow a large enough amount of bitcoins for the peace of mind of your customers. Nobody will send coins to your wallets upfront.

Here is a list of forum escrows:

Two-factor authentication helps keep your account secure!
 
Many users disregard good security practices and use exchanges without two-factor authentication (2FA). Or they simply don't enable it. And then they wonder where their money went.
 
Two-factor authentication is necessary to protect user accounts from hackers. With 2FA, scammers can't get at the funds in your account, even if they know your password.
 
Read more about what two-factor authentication (2FA) is and how it works.
 
- 2FA is a way to sign in to your account that requires you to provide additional confirmation. In other words, in addition to entering your password, you must again confirm your ownership of the account.
 
- This confirmation can happen in various ways: by entering a secret phrase; by entering a code sent via email or phone; by entering a token generated by a special application, e.g. Google Authenticator, and so on.
 
At SIGEN.pro, we care about our users, so 2FA is enabled by default.
 
In other words, you cannot sign in to your account without two-factor authentication. You may choose one of 3 ways to provide additional confirmation:
 
- a code sent via email;
- a token generated by the Google Authenticator app;
- printed paper codes.
 
Select any of these methods in your account settings and use it when signing in to the exchange.

ok let's start with the technical part of your exchange:

first point: desginer of your exchange

face, look at the designer of your exchange is all messed up, which does not show a high level of professionalism, you need to improve a lot at this point, the letters are all over the site, which in my opniao bothers a lot.

second point and most important: who are you and where are they located and you have physical office?

all I found on your site was this:

We are an active team of ambitious young people from all over the globe.
We're all different. But we share a common goal—to help people gain financial independence and eliminate controls imposed by governments, tax authorities, and banks on monetary transactions and currencies.
Our main mission is justice!

We're absolutely convinced that people shouldn’t have to pay huge fees to banks or taxes to the government for their personal monetary transactions.
This is why we allow funds to be traded anonymously and safely, with maximum speed and minimum fees.

You do not show your face what it means that you are afraid, you do not intend to take this business seriously, and you have the courage to talk about banks? the banks have documents (licenses) the banks are regulated and inspected, and you can know who are the owners of the banks. if you think you can compete with the banks, then prove us... show your face, show documents and physical office

How much should I invest in cryptocurrencies?
 
What one feature of cryptocurrencies must an investor take into consideration when deciding on an investment strategy. This is volatility.
 
Pros and cons of volatility
 
Volatility, i.e. fluctuation in value, is both a pro and a con of cryptocurrencies. The downside is that the price can collapse, precipitously and very rapidly. In an instant, investments can bring losses instead of profits. The upside is that the price can also skyrocket. Insignificant investments can multiply not hundreds, but thousands of times.
 
However, over the long term, the price of cryptocurrencies is unequivocally rising, and this is certainly a plus. At least the leading cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Litecoin, have been showing steady growth for several years now.
 
Basic investment strategies
 
Thus, there are two basic strategies for investing in cryptocurrencies:
 
-        Make long-term investments of no more than 20% of your monthly income, according to experienced investors. It is best to do this at regular intervals, such as once a month. Another option is to invest a large lump sum (available money) somewhere for at least a year. And don't forget your wallet password!
 
-        Make short-term investments in the hope of rapid price growth and with a high risk of losses. In this case, investing is more like gambling, so you should never invest an amount which, if lost, would worsen your quality of life. It should be an amount that you can afford to lose painlessly. You can also invest saved money that you normally would have squandered on all sorts of trifles, alcohol, games, etc.
 
You decide which strategy to use, but be sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons. We wish you success in your trading and investments!

Google Authenticator is the most reliable two-factor authentication method
 
The SIGEN.pro cryptoexchange offers users 3 forms of two-factor authentication: email, Google Authenticator, and a table of printed paper codes.
 
Google Authenticator (GA) may be called the most reliable of these methods.
 
Why is Google Authenticator best?
 

• With email confirmation, users are still vulnerable. For example, if an email account is not protected by a strong password, hackers may access it and thereby be able to break into your SIGEN.pro account. Additionally, many people use the same password on multiple websites. GA confirmation eliminates this problem. Google Authenticator generates a new code every 30 seconds. Moreover, you have the device with the GA program on your person. Hackers don't have enough time to read, calculate, and enter the required code.
• - Confirmation using a table of printed paper codes may have risks. For example, you might lose the printed sheet of codes, or a malicious party might discover the codes and exploit them. Once again, GA confirmation eliminates this problem. Of course, a would-be attacker near you could secretly observe the genearted code, but, as we already mentioned above, he or she would not have enough time. Suppose an attacker knows your username and password and has secretly seen your code. He is unlikely to have enough time to get to his device and enter all the required information, because the code he lifted will become invalid after 30 seconds. And he would have to remember the code correctly. Furthermore, it is not so convenient for users to hunt to find the required code on a sheet of paper and constantly safeguard it.

If you lose access to the device with GA and cannot get into your account, know that each account on the platform also has a Security Code that you can use to change the 2FA method, if necessary.

Ways that blockchain technology is used
 
For many people, the word "blockchain" still sounds exotic. Some consider it nothing more than a fleeting fad that will not find application in the real world. However, this is a misconception. Blockchain technology is increasingly making its way into various spheres of life.
 
Microsoft
 
Quite recently, Microsoft reported that its blockchain platform is used at 400 companies around the world. Most of these companies are involved in international trade. In this industry, speed and confidentiality of financial information worth trillions of dollars are critical. Such companies also value extremely accurate recordkeeping regarding goods constantly being moved around the world. Blockchain is also ideal for these purposes.
 
Mitsui
 
Mitsui OSK Lines is the Japanese transcontinental shipping giant. This company conducted an experiment involving using blockchain to improve security and reduce the time of cross-border trade operations, and to search for discrepancies in documents and administrative expenses. The experiment was recently declared to be a success, and blockchain services are being added to all of this logistics company's operations. Blockchain will be used to record the conclusion and confirmation of trade agreements, documentation of processes, and calculation of optimal routes.
 
In fact, there are hundreds of such examples. While skeptics doubt blockchain, large companies have not only placed great value on it, but also rapidly deployed it in their processes. Blockchain technology is the future. Progress cannot be stopped!

Bitcoin was also created anonymously and became the starting point. What would have happened if the Bitcoin creator’s identity had been known? The authorities would have arrested this person a long time ago since cryptocurrencies bring no profit to governments and banks. This was why Bitcoin’s predecessors had never been successful.
At the moment, the issue of regulating cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency exchange platforms is somewhat ambiguous. Just look at how Google pressured by the FBI has been banning cryptocurrency advertisements. If, on the other hand, Google were anonymous, they wouldn’t be able to put pressure upon it. No one can know what, how and when the authorities can demand from cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency platforms. They might as well require to “leak” personal details of users and prosecute all those who are not willing to jig to their tune. To prevent this, we advocate for complete anonymity and choose to be an independent platform striving to create an honest financial system based on the main idea of cryptocurrencies.

Ways to store cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies are an excellent way to provide for yourself financially and build an honest financial system. But what's the right way to save them? There are two ways to store cryptocurrency:

●   Hot storage. Hot storage means that you put cryptocurrency in special wallets that let you withdraw and use the funds you need at any time. These wallets are continuously connected to the Internet, so you can access them anywhere with Internet coverage. And almost everywhere civilization has reached has Internet coverage. This type of storage is like storing fiat money in an account with a debit card and online banking abilities.

●   Cold storage. Cold storage means storing cryptocurrency in wallets that are not connected to the Internet, i.e. offline wallets.  The wallet's private key is also stored offline, on a hardware device or paper. Cold storage is generally used for saving cryptocurrency - for large and very large amounts. It can be compared to storing valuables in a safety deposit box.

You choose which storage method to use. But you should know that cold storage is safer: your keys are completely safe, because they are not stored on the Internet. Your coins are not vulnerable to hackers or thieves.

The best option is a combination of hot and cold storage. Use hot storage to store the amount that you want to be constantly available. Use cold storage for large sums, i.e. your savings.

In a subsequent article, we will provide a detailed description of the types of wallets used to store cryptocurrency.

What's the best way to buy the leading cryptocurrencies?

Many novices start buying the leading cryptocurrencies (BTC, LTC, etc.) when their prices surge upward. For example, the exchange rate rises rapidly when there is good news or favorable forecasts, i.e. based on what media outlets are saying. This strategy is fraught with huge risks and likely to result in financial losses.

Buying cryptocurrency when the exchange rate peaks is a typical mistake made by rookie traders. Why?

Practice has shown that a sharp rise in the exchange rate is always followed by a decline—an unavoidable correction. As a result, the novice suffers losses. Will the novice every come out ahead? That's the question. 

The wrong way

When you purchase cryptocurrency at the top of the market, the price begins to fall and you will always experience losses. You see that you're losing money and begin to panic, which leads you to do something even worse: in your panic, you sell all your cryptocurrency at a lower price in order to preserve at least some of your money. After a while, the market stabilizes and the exchange rate again starts to rise. And you could have made up your losses and could have even come out ahead, but you don't have any cryptocurrency because you sold it at a loss.

The right way

You need to buy the leading cryptocurrencies when the price is falling. That is the right strategy. And don't be afraid of negative rumors that a drop in the exchange rate means a cryptocurrency is experiencing a full collapse. Take bitcoin as an example: how many times have naysayers called it a bubble and predicted its demise? But it continues to grow, albeit with fluctuations that can be significant at times.

That's why you should buy cryptocurrency when the exchange rate is falling for external reasons or when it is correcting after a big surge upward. That's the best time to buy. After all, the market always begins to rise after a correction.

Why is this the rule specifically for leading cryptocurrencies? Because little-known coins can surge at any time, and their exchange rates can experience steep and long growth. Buying them when they begin to grow rapidly can still prove to be very profitable. But remember that buying unknown coins is a big risk, but it does offer the possibility of huge rewards.

Conclusion

A successful trader must know how to buy leading cryptocurrencies when everybody is selling, and to sell when everybody is buying. That is precisely the strategy employed by investors who have used their skills to amass considerable wealth. Follow this rule and come out ahead!

Types of cryptocurrency wallets
 
In a part article, we described ways of storing cryptocurrencies: hot and cold. Today we'll review the wallets used to store cryptocurrencies.
 
They come in the following types:
 
-        "Thick" wallets for a PC. To use this type of wallet, you have to download the entire blockchain for the relevant cryptocurrency to your computer and install a full node. That means your computer will store information about every transaction performed in the network. This type of wallet features high security and is suitable for hot and cold storage. One popular "thick" wallet is the original Bitcoin Core client. However, for all its advantages, it has one big shortcoming: it's inconvenient. You need to have a powerful computer and download hundreds of gigabytes of data.
 
-        "Thin" wallets for a PC. This is a simplified wallet that does not require downloading the blockchain. For example, the Electrum wallet. "Thin" wallets are far more convenient than "thick" wallets. They take up very little space on your computer. But their main shortcoming is that they do not guarantee absolute security, because they connect to third-party servers to perform transactions. It is best to use these wallets only for hot storage.
 
-        Wallets for smartphones. This type of wallet is a special app that must be downloaded and installed on your smartphone. Basically, these wallets are like "thin" wallets for your PC, but they are even less secure. You shouldn't use them to store large amounts or for long periods. This type is most suitable for hot storage of small amounts.
 
-        Online wallets. In this case, a website is used to store your cryptocurrency. This means that the keys to your wallet are also stored online. Some wallets also store your passwords and mnemonic phrases. All of this significantly weakens security. There are various online wallets: some are more secure than others. In general, such wallets are convenient, but they cannot guarantee 100% security. Blockchain.info is one of the most reliable online wallets.
 
-        Hardware wallets. These wallets are like a thumb drive. They are a removable data storage device that can be connected to a computer and the Internet. One popular hardware wallet is the Trezor. Data in the wallets is encrypted, which provides a high level of security. You don't have to download the blockchain, you can connect to the Internet only when necessary, and all your data is encrypted. This is the best option for cold storage.
 
-        Paper wallets. This type of wallet is a piece of paper with the private and public keys. The keys are printed and stored offline as QR codes. You can access your wallet by scanning them. These wallets are reliable and suitable for cold storage, but they are inconvenient in that the paper with the codes must be kept safe and entirely secret.
 
These are the types of cryptocurrency wallets currently available.
 
In conclusion, we caution you: The Internet is full of dishonest people, so you should only download and use proven wallets from official websites. That same thing applies to hardware wallets: only buy them from official vendors. Otherwise you may lose all of your savings. Be careful. Don't fall victim to swindlers.

Why watch bitcoin when investing in altcoins?
 
If you want to make money by short-term trading altcoins (cryptocurrencies that are alternatives to bitcoin), we recommend that you constantly watch the bitcoin exchange rate. In this article, we'll explain why this is necessary.
 
We'll state upfront that the following advice applies to established and well-developed altcoins, such as Litecoin. "Young" coins can behave unpredictably, suddenly shooting upward or plummeting downward, regardless of what bitcoin is doing at the moment.
 
So, here's why you should track BTC when investing in altcoins:
 
●      Virtually all altcoins are closely related to bitcoin. When bitcoin begins to grow rapidly, altcoins' exchange rate against bitcoin may fall, and against the dollar - it may grow more slowly. This happens most often because many investors pull their funds out of altcoins and move them into the rising BTC to make money. And because everyone is selling altcoins, their price goes down.
 
●      Of course, when bitcoin falls rapidly, altcoins still fall. In this situation, investors pull money out of Bitcoin, but they do not put it into altcoins. Generally, they pull funds from the cryptocurrency market to buy fiat currency.
 
So when do altcoin prices rise? As a rule, they grow when there is generally good news while bitcoin is weak or rising/falling slightly, i.e. is not moving abruptly.
 
We conclude that it is best to buy altcoins as their prices are falling in response to a sharp rise/fall in bitcoin, and then wait for the market to stabilize.

Important trading rule: Don't put all your eggs in one basket

To minimize cryptocurrency investment risks, split up your investments. If you invest all your funds in one coin, you significantly increase the risk of going broke. After all, if the coin collapses, you'll find yourself in the red in an instant.

Of course, the coin might appreciate and then you would made good money, but the trick is that no one can guarantee how a specific coin will behave. It is impossible to predict with 100% certainty.

So diversify your investments - it's important!

Investment diversification means to invest funds in various assets. In the case of the crypto market, it means to invest in different cryptocurrencies. Diversification significantly reduces the risk that you will failure due to a sudden crash by a single coin. In this case, you will be able to offset your losses thanks to profits from your investments in other coins. Or at least you will minimize your losses.

In reality, diversification is not an easy thing, but it is essential that you master it for your own good. Ideally, you need to create an investment portfolio and skillfully diversify it.

We will provide more details about diversifying a cryptocurrency portfolio in our next article. We wish you successful investments and good profits!

[SIGEN]

**How to properly diversify your cryptocurrency portfolio**
 
When investing in cryptocurrencies, it is important to achieve the right balance. Proper diversification of your cryptocurrency portfolio lets you increase investment profits and minimize potential risks. In other words, you need to distribute your investments correctly.
 
How much should be in the portfolio?
 
According to analysts, diversification is helpful for investors working with sums starting at $500. With smaller amounts, distributing your funds doesn't make much sense. Of course, you could work with amounts such as $100, $50, and even $1. But creating a portfolio this way is not the best idea.
 
So if you haven't yet reached the $500 mark, just keep saving more money. However, nothing is stopping you from thinking ahead about diversifying your future cryptocurrency portfolio.
 
Strategy to create a portfolio
 
As a rule, a diversified portfolio has three types of investments:
 
●      Low risk - Investments in bitcoin and other established coins among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum or Litecoin;
 
●      Moderate risk - Investments in cryptocurrencies with high market capitalization; these are usually cryptocurrencies in the top 30;
 
●      High risk - Investments in cryptocurrencies that have recently appeared on the market and do not yet have a reputation or trust in the crypto community.
 
As for the ratio of these types of investments, most investors use the following allocations: 50%/30%/20% or 60%/30%/10%. This is the distribution they consider to be the best.
 
Your portfolio will need to be adjusted
 
Once you have created a portfolio, you can't just forget it and always make a profit. In fact, you must not forget about it, because it will need constant adjustment and additional investments. The cryptocurrency market is dynamic, so you need to carefully track your portfolio and regularly run the numbers. This is the only way to confidently stay afloat.
 
Good luck!

Why is it necessary to take profits?
 
When cryptocurrency prices are rising, inexperienced traders often become so fascinated by their trades and investments that they forget to take profits. In doing so, they are taking a big risk. If your investments appreciate, don't get greedy and hope to get even more. That may cause you to lose everything.
 
The cryptocurrency market is not very predictable, so no one can ever say exactly how cryptocurrencies will behave from one moment to the next. You should always be alert and periodically protect yourself by taking profits. For example, you are counting on growth, but if a cryptocurrency grows now, that doesn't mean it will grow forever. Suppose the market drops one day. If the decline is sudden, you will not only lose your profits, but also go into the negative. These are market laws that are unavoidable.
 
Take profits regularly
 
If you've earned a 20% return on your trades or investments, why not take your profits? Of course, if your rosy predictions come true, you could make even more using both your initial investment and your gains. But what if your cryptocurrency experiences a sudden downswing when you expected it to rise?
 
Taking profits at the right time will definitely keep you in the black. Then you can buy cryptocurrency at the current exchange rate or wait for the right time to make a purchase. Thus, each time you take profits, you start a new "round" of trading and/or investing.
 
Profit-taking should become a habit for you. You must develop a strategy for yourself and determine how often and how much to take. This is a personal decision and depends on many factors, including the size of your initial investment and the behavior of the cryptocurrencies you trade. If you choose the right strategy, you will be able to make profits regularly.
 
We wish you success in your trading and investments!

What is cryptocurrency market capitalization?
 
The closest thing to the concept of cryptocurrency market capitalization is the capitalization of the stock market, which is an indicator of the scale of all transactions that take place in the stock market. It is defined as the total market value of the securities traded on the exchange. Similarly, cryptocurrency market capitalization indicates the total value of cryptocoins circulating on the market, based on the price per coin.
 
In other words, to calculate the total cryptocurrency market capitalization or the capitalization of a particular cryptocurrency: multiply the value of the coin(s) by the number of coins in circulation. As you can see, calculating the capitalization is quite easy: we know the number of coins in circulation for each cryptocurrency, as well as the price. But!
 
Nuances in the calculation of capitalization
 
But those who have worked with cryptocurrencies will immediately understand that calculating the actual capitalization is made difficult by the fact that the cost of coins changes constantly, sometimes dramatically. In addition, unlike securities traded on an exchange, the number of coins is constantly growing. But this isn't the only thing that makes it difficult to calculate the cryptocurrency market capitalization.
 
Bitcoin represents a large, almost overwhelming, share of the entire market's capitalization. But it is impossible to say exactly how many bitcoins are in circulation. We know exactly how many bitcoins have been created. But a huge percentage of them are not in circulation. When bitcoin was cheap, many people created a bitcoin wallet and forgot about it. Satoshi Nakamoto, the alleged bitcoin creator, mined about a million coins, but nobody knows where they are now.
 
It is believed that between the location of between 1.5 and 4 million bitcoins is unknown. They are not being circulated and may be lost forever. As a result, we can only calculate an approximation of the cryptocurrency market capitalization.
 
Still, market capitalization is noted on cryptoexchanges and websites. It is an important indicator for investors who look at whether capitalization is growing or not. Last year, the cryptocurrency market capitalization almost reached a trillion dollars. This is an outstanding figure. The capitalization is not so high now, since bitcoin's slide, with many other cryptocurrencies following it down. But if you look at the indicators for a longer period, you can immediately see that the capitalization is growing from year to year.
 
You can see the current capitalization at https://coinmarketcap.com/

70% of cryptocurrency exchanges allow user accounts to have weak passwords. SIGEN.pro does not.
 
The creators of the Dashlane password manager analyzed the password requirements imposed by cryptocurrency exchanges.
 
They concluded that over 70% of all cryptocurrency exchanges allow users to use weak passwords. This can actually be seen as indifference to users' welfare, because their savings are at risk: accounts with weak passwords are vulnerable to hackers.
 
What is required to make a strong password?
 

• A password must be at least 8 characters long;
• It must have both lowercase and uppercase letters;
• It must include numbers.

It turns out that only about 30% of cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms fully comply with these requirements. The remaining 70% do not. Moreover, 43% of the analyzed platforms allow passwords shorter than 8 characters, and 34% do not require both letters and numbers.
 
Exchanges are unlikely to earn a good reputation with such an attitude toward user accounts. We recommend that you do not open accounts on such exchanges and certainly never keep funds there.
 
The SIGEN.pro cryptocurrency exchange cares about your security
 
The SIGEN.pro cryptocurrency exchange imposes stringent password requirements that comply with established standards. Additionally, mandatory two-factor identification has been introduced on the platform, as noted in a previous article. These security measures can reliably protect your savings from thieves. Using the SIGEN platform is simple and safe: we care about you!

Beginning traders often get hooked by "experienced investors" who offer their services regarding some "profitable" investment, promising only profits and no losses. But most of the time, such proposals are cover for amateurs seeking to make money at someone else's expense.
 
Trusting such people puts you at risk of going bust, while your "benefactor" won't lose anything at all. After all, if the deal ends up being profitable, he gets a percentage for his services, well. If the investment tanks, only you lose since he isn't investing his own money, only yours.
 
Do your own research
 
Since the cryptocurrency market is virtually unpredictable, even a truly experienced trader with solid capital can't say with 100% certainty how a particular coin will behave in the near future. Honest people simply won't promise you anything. Mountains of gold "no matter what" are usually promised by scammers who have no qualms about profiting from your naivete and trust.
 
To stay in the black, study the market yourself and learn to do analysis. Do not succumb to the desire to make money quickly with someone else's help. Be wise: don't trust your assets to outsiders; manage your own funds.
 
May good profits come your way!

What's a trend line?
 
When trading cryptocurrencies, everyone would like to know where the price is going—up or down. A trend line is an analytical tool that can help with this. It is a simple tool for trading analytics that is available to everyone.
 
How to build a trend line
 
A trend line is built by two low points or two high points, and a third point, which serves to confirm the trend line. You don't have to limit yourself to just 3 points: the more points you use, the more obvious the trend and the more reliable the forecast.
 
The points used to build a trend line should not be too close together temporally. Such a forecast wouldn't not be reliable.
 
When building a trend line, you also need to consider its angle. When the angle changes, it means that the asset's price is also changing. The steeper the angle, the faster the change in price.
 
Downtrends and uptrends
 
During a downtrend, the trend line is built above the chart, while the line for an uptrend is built below the chart.
 
During a rising ("bullish") trend, each new price peak is higher than the previous one.  With a ("bearish") downtrend, each next price point is lower than the previous one.
 
Support and resistance lines
 
The line that passes through the lows is called the support line. As soon as the price reaches the low point, it bounces back, trying to climb upward again.
 
The line connecting the price highs is the resistance line. The price is not expected to rise above this line.
 
If the trend breaks through the support line, you should expect the asset's value to collapse. If it breaks through the resistance line, you should expect a strong increase in price.
 
If the price remains at about the same level, we say there is a flat or sideways trend. Experienced traders have learned how to take advantage of this type of trend. Using insignificant exchange rate fluctuations, they can anticipate when the stability will end and whether the price will up or down.

Investors need to be calm and collected
 
Cryptocurrency traders fail when they succumb to their fears and begin to panic. Fear and panic are dangerous allies. They can wipe out all previous efforts and achievements.
 
A drop in the exchange rate is no reason to panic
 
A typical mistake made by inexperienced traders is to panic when the cryptocurrency exchange rate starts to decline. The fear of a loss pushes them to sell assets for less than their purchase price, thus sending them into negative. However, exchange rate fluctuations are a normal phenomenon for the cryptocurrency market. We have already repeatedly observed very sharp and prolonged slumps, followed by the subsequent recovery of not only bitcoin, but also virtually all leading altcoins.
 
Stay calm regardless of the situation
 
If a coin's exchange rate begins to slide, remain calm and coolly analyze the situation. As a rule, a rise generally begins after each fall, so don't rush to sell. Even when exchange rates are falling across the board, there is no need to panic. If you rush, you will probably make mistakes, so don't rush. Common sense will help you to build the right strategy and avoid or minimize losses. Just look at the annual cryptocurrency charts and you'll see that all the leading coins are appreciating in value from year to year.

Pumping: what it is and what to do
 
The unregulated nature of the cryptocurrency market allows crypto traders to engage in so-called "pump and dump" schemes, i.e. buying up and selling off cryptocurrencies on a large-scale.
 
What does "pump and dump" mean in simple terms?
 
A pump (pumping) looks like a sharp increase in a cryptocurrency's exchange rate. At some point, after the coin has reached a very high price relative to the beginning of the pump, the price of the coin falls sharply. This is called dumping, or a dump.
 
A pump and dump can be orchestrated by even one user on a single exchange if he or she has enough money to start mass buying followed by a massive sell-off.
 
But, of course, truly large-scale pumps are organized by groups of traders who coordinate their actions in advance and start manipulating the market at a specific time. The current "gathering place" for pumpers is social networks, where they special groups that coordinate their actions before and during a pumping / dumping operation.
 
Pumping is planned in advance and follows as scheme like this:
 
●      "Positive" news, whether fabricated or overblown, is published on informational websites;
 
●      Everything possible is done to bolster potential investors' interest in the breaking news;
 
●      More and more inexperienced traders are brought in;
 
●      The novices' hopes of price growth are stoked.
 
How to recognize pumping
 
The start of pumping can be easily seen on a particular cryptocurrency exchange based on users' activity in the local chatroom. Experienced traders start telling unbelievable stories about how the coin rate is growing and is about to start growing even faster, and that you need to buy it as soon as possible.
 
Before the pump, traders push cryptocurrency price so high that inexperienced players do not believe it might fall, so they continue to buy as the exchange rate rises. At some point, the pumpers stop buying, but inexperienced traders continue. Then the pumpers sell everything at a high price, and the exchange rate goes down. Then, inexperienced traders panic and sell what they bought.  Thus, pumping "victims" buy high and sell low. Meanwhile, the pumpers make a profit.
 
Follow the rules!
 
Inexperienced trader don't have to lose money during pumping if they follow a few rules.
 
●      Don't buy coins if the rate has instantly increased by more than 20%.
 
●      Don't sell coins after there has been a brief price surge followed by a decline or contraction, since it will likely be followed by growth.
 
●      Don't believe sensational news, especially if traders are spreading it in chatrooms.
 
●      And, of course, don't use all your savings to buy coins when the price rises.
 
In any case, whether or not pumping is happening, cryptocurrency trading requires caution, experience, and common sense. So consider each step carefully. We wish you successful trades and profitable investments!

What is cryptocurrency fundamental analysis?

Fundamental analysis is based on the fact that any cryptocurrency tends to its real price. The task of fundamental analysis is to determine that price.

Fundamental analysis of the traditional financial market relies on corporate financial statements. There is little information about the cryptocurrency market, but there are other tools that will help traders estimate a cryptocurrency's potential.

What is cryptocurrency fundamental analysis based on?

Every cryptocurrency has a document called a white paper. It is created by the cryptocurrency's developers. The document sets forth the idea behind the cryptocurrency and the mechanism for its implementation.

You use the white paper to evaluate the team's professionalism, mining parameters, and issue size (number of coins). GitHub developers have a website, where you can see a project's current stage of development and what its developers are offering that is new. Developers's activity and their ability to communicate online with users can say a lot about a coin's potential.

Pay attention is to a cryptocurrency's unique characteristics, i.e. what makes it different from existing cryptocurrencies, the reliability of its technology, its capitalization, initial investments, and how profits are distributed.

These indicators are used to estimate the cryptocurrency's long-term potential. That's why we recommend that you carefully read a cryptocurrency's white paper before investing in it.

What is cryptocurrency technical analysis?
 
Technical analysis can tell you the best time to enter a cryptocurrency, when to invest, and when to wait. To perform technical analysis, you need to learn something that scares beginning investors: tables and charts.
 
There's actually nothing frightening in the tables, charts and figures offered by cryptocurrency exchanges. Anyone who has decided to trade cryptocurrency and invest can understand them.
 
What is cryptocurrency technical analysis based on?
 
You analyze the trading volumes and price dynamics of the asset, in this case, a cryptocurrency. Technical analysis relies on the idea that events repeat themselves. History has a way of repeating itself. That's why an analysis of traders' reactions to any previous event lets us say that in most cases when an event repeats itself, the reaction will be similar.
 
Technical analysis requires that you have a good knowledge of past and present events, and that you account for forecasts. All of this can influence an asset's price.  You must also closely monitor indicators of supply and demand.
 
Technical analysis makes it possible to predict the dynamics of coins that have been traded on the market for a long time. But it should be used with caution on a new cryptocurrency. It is better to use fundamentals to analyze new cryptocurrencies.

The dollar is used for illicit trade far more often than cryptocurrencies
 
Governments and central banks of many countries have repeatedly accused bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies of complicity in illicit trade and money laundering. They say that bitcoin is used to finance terrorists, sell weapons and drugs, etc.
 
We disagree with this view. To justify our position, we would like to cite the recent statement by the US Treasury Department, which personally refuted this torrent of negativity. The agency's representatives directly stated that fiat money, especially the dollar, is used for criminal purposes far more than bitcoin.
 
Criminals prefer fiat money
 
So, no matter what people say, officials indicate that criminals prefer dollars. Moreover, most trade happens through banks and various payment services that position themselves as law-abiding businesses.
 
According to the UN, illicit trade brings criminals an annual income of about $2 trillion. By comparison, cryptocurrency-based revenues from such activities are a drop in the bucket.
 
This statement by the US Treasury is an excellent response to all cryptocurrency detractors, who occasionally call for banning bitcoin because it is frequently used by criminals for illicit trade. Logically, the dollar should also be banned, since it is used for these purposes much more often. But nobody is demanding this.
 
This statement can also be regarded as a positive signal for cryptocurrencies' further development and legalization.

Don't trust bots when trading on a cryptocurrency exchange
 
You've probably heard of trading bots. These are special programs that trade autonomously on stock exchanges: They buy, sell, and make money. That seems like an excellent way to make trading easier. But things are not so simple, and many traders have come to regret their trust in them.
 
Trusting bots is very risky. Why?
 
●      Working properly with bots requires that you thoroughly study them and understand how they will behave in the market. A bot is just a program does not always make the best decision in critical situations, something a trader could do. There are plenty of examples where bots have started trading at a loss and created a financial disaster.
 
●      Free bots are infected with computer viruses that compromise traders' computers and steal money from their accounts. This happens quite often. It's best to avoid jeopardizing your computer, let alone your savings.
 
●      Paid bots also cannot be called 100% reliable. There are many instances where they've simply "frozen", causing traders to lose large amounts or even bankrupting them. In a word, a machine is a machine. There are no guarantees it won't breakdown.
 
Is it worth it to trust your money to bots when their reliability is so questionable? Hardly. Of course, those who have had success using bots may object to our arguments. But we still recommend that you be more careful and don't risk all your savings.
 
Good luck with successful trades and great profits!

Analyzing trend lines:
entering and exiting the cryptocurrency market
 
When to enter and exit the cryptocurrency market is essentially equivalent to when you should buy and sell coins. There are several ways to analyze trend lines to determine the best time to enter/exit:
 
●      Using a third point. A trend line is defined by two price extremes (lows/highs), which are confirmed by a third point. The third point tells you the best time to buy or sell cryptocurrency. Accordingly, a third point with an uptrend is a signal to buy. A third point with a downtrend is a signal to sell.
 
●      Using the resistance line. You should enter the market when the price breaks, i.e. exceeds the resistance level and begins to increase. But you need to closely monitor the correction. Watch for price changes in short periods, while the overall price is growing rapidly.
 
●      Using the support line If the market is clearly falling and breaking through the support line, you should sell assets given the slightest break above this line. Once again, this point was noted in previous stages of the downtrend.
 
●     Using the countertrend line You can profitably enter or exit a position by playing on the so-called countertrend. For example, a rising countertrend may occur just behind the trend line. In this case, the resistance line turns into a support line. Experienced traders often buy if prices touch this line. With the opposite movement, you can profitably exit the market when the countertrend breaks the support line, turning it into a resistance line. But you always need to watch the correction.
 
●      Using the sideways trend line When there is no price movement up or down, or when movement is weak, investors can profit from a sideways trend through short-term and medium-term trading. To do this, we use a horizontal line to split the area where the sideways trend has been observed: a price above this line is a signal to buy; a price below this level is a signal to sell.
 
We hope these recommendations will help you trade successfully on the cryptocurrency exchange. May you always find profits!

Bulls Pushing Up: What is the Bull Trend in the Cryptocurrency Market
 
The cryptocurrency market is governed by two types of traders — the bulls and the bears. Today, we're going to review what the bulls do.
 
Why the Bull?
 
As traders themselves say, if the bull attacks it's always from the bottom upwards, by thrusting the opponent with its horns and tossing them up. In other words, a bull trend is an increase in the price of cryptocurrencies when the market is kind of pushing the price from the bottom point upwards.
 
It's easy to see that a bull trend is developing — it's sufficient to have a look at the cryptocurrency price diagram. An upward trend is a sequence of price values, with each subsequent value higher than the previous one. If the price goes up and immediately back down again — this is no trend, it's a short-term price increase. When, however, the price moves from one maximum value to another, i. e. when the overall price grows fast with slight downward fluctuations, this is the upward — bull — trend.
 
What shall I do?
 
A trader must be able to see when the market enters the bull trend rather than simply being adjusted. Many traders think that the start of a sustainable bull trend is the best time to enter the market since the stock price is constantly rising.
 
Most traders prefer the bull trend as its makes earning a profit easier and faster. When the stock price has been rising for a long period of time, the bulls are said to govern the market.
 
One should remember, however, that a trend must persist for at least several days rather than hours. If a trader prematurely views a short-term market move as a long-term trend, they might sustain losses. It bears a special importance on the cryptocurrency market, with expensive cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Litecoin in particular, since the price behavior may change at rapid-fire pace, within a few hours, while losses may be huge. However, if a trader is right about picking up on a bull trend, their profits are going to be high.

Bears pushing down: what is the bear trend in the cryptocurrency market?

Last time, we told you about the bulls in the cryptocurrency market. Today, we are going to talk what the bears do.

The bears attack from above

Many traders believe that the bears attack their prey swiping its paws downward. Therefore, when the price of the cryptocurrency is falling, and each subsequent value is lower than the previous one, and it is called bear trend. In such situation, people say bears dominate the market and sell their assets.

Among them, there are many bears who know how to earn on the falling price. However, many participants of the market wait for the approximation to the lowest point of the trend and the further growth. It’s considered a good moment for the entry on the market. Therefore, many people believe that the start of the bear trend is a good time for selling, and the end of the bear trend is a good moment for the purchases.

How to recognize the bears

The trader should determine the start of a bear market as soon as possible. For that, it’s necessary to see the cryptocurrency price diagram or draw it on your own  using two or three points of the cryptocurrency price. One can easily see the downward trend.

It is just the same as with the bull trend. There’s no need to hurry up and take hasty decisions. If the price is moving down it doesn’t mean the bear trend. It can be just a correction at the market. Wait for several days, then you will be able to determine the presence of the sustainable trend. For the cryptocurrencies market, it’s extremely important as the price fluctuations can occur very quickly, just in several hours.

SHA-256 Cryptographic hashing principle

A cryptographic hash code is a digital inscription for some kind of data. Algorithm, called SHA-256, allows to generate a unique signature of 256 bits. This is one of the most popular crypto algorithms, which is used in many cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. There is a bit more detailed information next, but without complex technical specifics. 

What is SHA-256

The SHA-256 algorithm is developed by the U.S. National Security Agency. It is intended to form fixed-length values from a random data set. These values will serve as the data identifier. 

In simple terms, the work of the algorithm looks like this: we add all our data to a text file and send it for processing to the algorithm which allows all data to go through hash functions. At the end of the process, we receive a cryptographic message that may appear as follows: ts9fa21bkfb0k21fs00s.

The combination is irreversible, i.e., it cannot be decrypted back, as it is done with regular combinations. That is why it is impossible to decrypt data, encrypted algorithmically, among other things, through SHA-256.

The scope of application of SHA-256

For example, Bitcoin itself is based on the SHA-256 algorithm, as well as its forks - Bitcoin Cash, in particular. Cryptocurrency mining is carried out on SHA-256 and represents, in fact, the nonstop number sorting to search for the correct hash amount value. Therefore, the greater your computing power, the faster the sorting and the faster the correct value can be received, a block created and the coin mined.

However, we encounter the algorithm much oftener, even though we don’t engage in cryptocurrencies. Because an SSL certificate, by which every website is protected, includes the SHA-256 algorithm for establishing and authenticating a secure site’s connection.

Bitcoin isn’t a bubble but the needle to pop the bubble

Cryptocurrency opponents very often call Bitcoin a “bubble”. They say allegedly its price is artificially high and someday it will burst. However, competent experts think otherwise.

Bitcoin isn’t a bubble

Bitcoin Foundation’s co-founder and CEO, Jon Matonis, stated that the fears related to the cryptocurrency ”bubble” are baseless. In fact, the bubbles can always be found on stock exchanges, and such artificial bubbles are constantly being inflated by central banks.     

“Bitcoin is indeed the needle that is going to pop the bubble. A bubble is the insane stock markets and equity markets that are backed by central banks. Those are the bubbles” - said Matonis, bearing in mind that cryptocurrencies penetrate economy increasingly more and sooner or later will put an end to the bubbles triggered by central banks.

A bubble isn’t that bad

Besides this version, there is another one, which is widespread lately. Its supporters say that Bitcoin is really a bubble, though there is nothing wrong with that. This very bubble was once the railroad boom in the United States of America in the 19th century, which ended but left behind a well-developed railway network.

dot.com was the same bubble at the dawn of the Internet age in 90s. The companies that were presented then on the Internet market disappeared, but the Internet itself survived and is still quite successful. 

Now, we can see that Bitcoin price is falling, but the number of companies associated with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is increasing indeed. There are increasingly more hypotheses about what Bitcoin is. However, the very fact of its constant discussion proves that Bitcoin became a real factor of economy and finances.

A crypto investor’s rule: never put all eggs in one basket
 
One of the key rules of investing in the cryptocurrencies and trading on the crypto market is assets diversification. In other words, buying of different coins. In a recent publication we have written about it, and today we would like to proceed with the subject.
 
Selecting the coin
 
Until recently, beginning investors didn’t have difficulties with the main coin choice - it was Bitcoin. But now, even after a chain of price falls, Bitcoin remains a very expensive coin, which imposes restrictions on its buying.
 
So, striving for gradual increasing of investments in the cryptocurrencies, investors for starters choose lighter coins. For example, Litecoin, which many prefer as the main investment asset.
 
However, when the point is buying the rest coins - the choice is complicated, since there are over 1,000 cryptocurrencies on the market nowadays. Meanwhile, experienced investors don’t recommend acquiring relatively unknown coins massively, even though they look very perspective. They recommend starting from the first twenty of well known altcoins of different price and focus.   

In this case, it is still advised buying 1-2 little known coins, because under the appropriate development many of them have great growth potential and may bring profit amounting to thousands of percents at any moment.
 
Portfolio
 
It is necessary to be aware that it is impossible to reach large diversification on the crypto market, since it is different in synchronicity - it often happens that most coins either grow or fall in price simultaneously. 
 
Nevertheless, cryptocurrencies don’t change price in quite the same manner - some more similarly, others less; and some coins stay more stable than the market as a whole. There are coins, though, often unpopular, which can appreciate when all other coins are getting cheap.

Moreover,  quite regularly, separate coins begin to grow in price faster than the market, which allows to quickly transfer money exactly into one of that coins. Or, vise versa, some coin may fall faster than the market in general, thus investors manage to transfer their funds into more stable coins. It is necessary to observe the coin dynamics and create your own investment portfolio.
 
According to one of the most popular diversification scheme, the larger part of the portfolio funds must be invested in the main coin and 10-50% of the rest funds - in additional coins. However, we think that each investor should create their own investment portfolio, allotting cryptocurrencies the way that it is more profitable and convenient for them.

Avoid controlled panic on the cryptocurrency market

Mind control is not horror stories from political shows. On the cryptocurrency market, traders’ mind control is  a trivial reality. Most frequently it is manifested in stirring up panic sentiments when the price is falling.
 
Bitcoin collapsed - panic!
 
Many notice that as a cryptocurrency price goes down, there are a lot of articles in the media with titles containing the words “bitcoin collapsed”, “bubble has burst”, “cryptocurrencies are done”, and so on. But there is no point in selling off your cryptocurrency investments. Possibly this attack was planned just with a view to make investors start to sell off their assets.
 
To start such an attack, any pretext is used, for instance: a successful attack of hackers, launching a new Bitcoin hard fork or “cryptocurrency banning”. Information can be submitted under the guise of insider. While, sometimes, the media may lie intentionally to spread panic and then merely appeal to the “well-versed sources’ mistake”.
 
How to avoid panic
 
While dealing with cryptocurrencies, you need to learn how to keep calm and to not panic.  First of all, you should be mindful of the fact that no assets can grow steadily - periods of growth always change to the times of decline. And not every price drop turns into a crash - it may well be a correction.
 
Besides, not every long and sharp fall in price is bad, especially if you are about to add some funds to your investment portfolio.   
 
The most important source of information for the investor and trader, who are seriously committed to working with a cryptocurrency, is... the price itself, its dynamic. Skilled investors practically neither watch nor listen to “sensational news” about the events in a cryptocurrency world. They pay attention to the price change, compare with its last dynamic and only based on this estimate their actions.

Sectors that can be changed by Blockchain

Blockchain, thanks to its technical features, can change a lot of sectors of public life. We will tell you about some of them in this publication.

Projection

According to Blockchain technology all information is freely available, it cannot be changed or get lost. This allows to summarize all accumulated knowledge of incredibly accurate predictions in any areas - from sport to the Universe development.

Charity

A big problem of charity is the lack of the information whether the aid arrives in full and is put to good use. A block chain stretches directly from one user to another, bypassing intermediary units. Therefore donations, which are recorded on the network, will reach exactly the recipient who they are intended for and in the number they have been dispatched.

Allowance allocation

Blockchain can make an allowance allocation system absolutely honest. A smart contract will decide, how much and who should be given in line with a program. A public official will not be able to intervene in the process and, at their discretion, deprive people from socially vulnerable groups of their money. It cannot be stolen too.

Besides, all the described methods of applying Blockchain have already been used in those sectors and not only on a pilot basis.

Crowd psychology: a panic causes price crash

We already talked about a controlled panic, and today we are going to continue this topic. This is a common situation when there’s some negative news about from media, the cryptocurrency rate started declining, sometimes the decrease can be extremely significant. Why does it happen? It occurs due to the psychology of the crowd. Let’s discuss in details what it is.

• When the mass media publish positive news about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at all, people start buying coins actively, consequently the rate grows. High demand causes even a higher growth rate. Everybody tries to catch the train moving to the new price records. That’s how the psychology of the crowd works in a positive direction.
• However, when negative news appears, the cryptocurrency price starts falling. When the mass media declare that Bitcoin is nothing but a bubble, predict a quick collapse of the cryptocurrencies and so on, many people just can’t overcome the pressure and start to panic. Panic is a very dangerous phenomenon that can produce sad consequences in any field. In case of cryptocurrencies, panic causes the decrease of the rates. People start selling their assets massively. They think this is the only way to save at least a part of their money.

Unfortunately, many people are doing like that. People feel scared and decrease the rate significantly. Such situation could have been avoided if people were more patient and confident. However, this is human psychology. Due to this fact, some “interested individuals” can manipulate the crowd and make people sell their coins.

Therefore, stakeholders buy cryptocurrencies at the cheapest price and make good money when the price starts to grow again. It means they benefit from the human psychology. So, just learn to avoid panic and keep calm. A cool head is one of the most important factors for the successful trading!

Almost everything can be bought with Bitcoin

And that’s true indeed. Despite constant rumors about the approaching Bitcoin banning, it becomes ever more firmly entrenched in everyday life. It is also misleading to consider it just as an investment tool, since it has already been actively used as a means of payment. 

Today you can pay for many goods and services with Bitcoin all over the world

Here are a few examples:

• In Czechia, most auto dealers accept payment in Bitcoins, including a popular Alza - it is the easiest thing to pay here using “digital gold”, while in a matter of minutes.
• Many think that Bitcoin is banned in China; however, reality says otherwise. A lot of stores accept Bitcoins, whereas not hiding it from the government at all. For example, you may buy sports cars with cryptocurrency - right on the stand there are prices in Bitcoin and in the national currency. 
• The Knox Group of companies in the United Arab Emirates sells real estate for Bitcoins - houses, apartments, and commercial property. It should be mentioned that it has quite a few customers. In addition, in Dubai it is possible to buy and rent cars using cryptocurrency, which is very popular.
• The Magnum Real Estate, a property management company based in New York,  is engaged in similar activity with Bitcoin.
• Tesla electric cars are sold worldwide for Bitcoins. It has already become a kind of the mainstream - to buy innovative cars for innovative money.
• Many European and American airline companies have already been selling air tickets for Bitcoins worldwide. Some of them also offer to pay with cryptocurrency for meals and drinks on board, whereas often with zero transfer fees.
• A number of travel companies accept Bitcoin as well, for instance, Destina travel agency in Spain. You can buy there all inclusive tours, in other words, to rest absolutely without cash. By the way, after the company have added the possibility to make settlements with Bitcoin, demand for its services increased by 150%.
• It is also possible to use Bitcoins to pay education at high ranking universities - University of Cumbria in Great Britain, Kings College in the USA, and others. A pioneer in this direction became one of Cyprus universities.
• Thousand web shops around the world accept Bitcoins for payment. With cryptocurrency you can buy virtually everything: ranging from foodstuff to household appliances. 
• In big cities it is already possible to pay with cryptocurrency at a cafe: order a cup of coffee, pizza, beer, and various snacks.

But this list is far from complete - in fact, you can pay with Bitcoin in much more cases. With each passing day, the number of companies and stores willing to accept cryptocurrency for payment grows. So soon in everyday life, we will be able to do without cash. Isn’t it cool!?

How the volume indicator predicts the cryptocurrency price

The foundations of the cryptocurrency technical analysis were developed by Charles Fow, first editor of The Wall Street Journal. He believed that the price of the asset could be predicted if taking into account some indicators. Particularly, volume indicator.
 
What is it?
 
On the schedules, the volume indicator appears as Volume. It shows how many deals were concluded by the traders within a certain period of time. As a rule, green columns mean the price growth while red columns show the decrease. It is believed that the analysis of the volume movements in the past may show the dynamics of the asset in the future.
 
How to use it?
 
Volume indicator is quite accurate way to predict the price, however you should remember some particularities - the volume indicator can show strong and quick growth. Such drastic decreases or growth may not reflect the real situation at the market but the speculations of the users who possess large assets.

• When the cryptocurrency trade volume and price grow simultaneously this is the sign of the bull trend. You should purchase coins.
• If the trade volume grows but the price falls down this is the sign of the bear trend. You should sell the assets.
• It also considered that significant decrease of the volume may show the potential trend reversal. When the volume starts to reduce it means the market will change its trend soon. The decrease will be followed by the growth, and vice-versa.
• At the same time, if they volume decreases together with the strong decrease of the price it means this signal is false. Usually, in such situations the trend reversal doesn’t occur at all.

Nevertheless, taking into account the general data about the volume indicator behaviour, you should remember that the experience in making forecasts of the price is gained gradually. Your first attempts to predict the dynamics should be reasonable and careful.

Predicting cryptocurrency price: Zigzag and RSI
 
Such indicators of the price movement as Zigzag and RSI (Relative strength index) are additional ways for the forecast of the price. They allow to predict the development of the events in the market more precisely, however require a proper application.
 
Zigzag
 
Zigzag indicator shows the key trends in the price movement - maximum and minimum figures without small fluctuations. This indicator is better for the experienced traders. However, the beginners can understand the basic direction of the cryptocurrency movement in the future taking into account the price fluctuations in the past.
 
Nevertheless, it is not rational to rely on zigzag only when you make your predictions. Such large movements as zigzag shows should be reinforced by the data of other indicators. Therefore, Zigzag will become a very useful tool for the forecast.
 
Relative strength index
 
RSI (Relative Strength Index) will help to determine the right actions when there are no significant price fluctuations and the side trend dominates the market. At the schedule, it looks like a broken line with the figures from 0 to 100. It’s considered that the rate lower than 30 means the cryptocurrencies oversold, and the price can start growing. The rate higher than 30 means overpurchase, and the price can start falling.
 
However, RSI is quite  delicate tool for the forecasts. Traders beginners may interpret its figures in a wrong way, particularly if the market shows active dynamics. You shouldn’t rely on the data of this indicator only. Nevertheless, RSI may be informative and useful as additional indicator.

P2P: economy of equals

P2P trading implies equal partner and economic relationship without intermediaries.

Peer network

A P2P (peer-to-peer) network is called so, because all network participants are equipotent, i.e., they are equally privileged. In such a network, each computer is connected to another computer directly, without intermediaries.  

Together with that, each computer may request information from the other, in other words, act as a client. It may also process other computers’ requests, i.e., act as file servers. All cryptocurrencies are based on the P2P principle. This is what mainly distinguishes them from centralized money networks. In centralized systems, money depends on the whim of governments and central banks. Whereas in P2P distributed networks it is cryptocurrency users themselves who set forth the rules.  

P2P trading

All are aware that cryptocurrency trading takes place on crypto exchanges. However, practically all crypto exchanges are centralized. They charge a fee for cryptocurrency trading and exchange and, as a matter of fact, the funds of all users of a certain crypto exchange are stored in its single local account.

Nevertheless, there are also platforms which employ the decentralized P2P network principle. SIGEN.pro platform is also among them. It offers services on selling and buying cryptocurrency for fiat money directly between users without third party intermediaries.

The P2P platform trading is occurring as follows: the seller places an ad on the sale and specifies its method and terms. In the next step, a P2P account wallet is examined to see whether the required amount is available therein. Next, there is a contract with the buyer. The seller’s funds are transferred into a deposited account. The buyer pays for the transaction and the system notifies the seller of the payment. After a notification has been received, the buyer’s balance is credited with the needed amount.

Smart Contract: Technology of the Future Already in Use
 
Smart Contract is one of the most promising technologies that is already successfully used and is revolutionizing multiple sectors.
 
What is Smart Contract?
 
In the first place, Smart Contract is a program or electronic protocol designed to transmit information and control terms of contract execution by both parties. In practical terms, Smart Contract rules out situations when a party does not comply with contractual terms. When conventional contracts are signed, you cannot entirely eliminate the risk of a bad faith party refusing to execute the contract. However, Smart Contract is smart for a reason: it ensures that both contract parties comply with the required terms.
 
How Smart Contracts are used
 
Smart Contracts are created in a blockchain network, i. e. a decentralized system comprising multiple computers with no single center of command. The blockchain can be used to transmit information, including information with real value. It's not transmitted via a centralized server — it is passed from one user directly to the other.
 
Assume that you have signed a contract regarding delivery of goods for a payment the customer has promised to transfer to you:
 
You have concluded a Smart Contract that responds to real transactions rather than promises to comply with its terms. The Smart Contract controls how contractual terms are executed, i. e. you cannot fail to deliver the goods if this provision is included in the contract.
 
However, the goods will only be shipped to the customer when the blockchain can “see” that the system has received the payment. This is a rough procedure of how Smart Contracts work. As you can see, it needs no intermediaries, notaries or courts to adjudicate contractual disputes.
 
Smart Contracts are not a technology of a distant future — it is rapidly developing now getting a foothold in payment systems, logistics and retail e-commerce. A revolution is taking shape right before our very eyes.

Lightning Network Technology: What It Is and How It Works
 
Part 1
 
Since Bitcoin is continuously developing and gaining more and more popularity, with more and more users joining the network, it also means a rising number of transactions. This is why the bitcoin network experiences occasional overload problems: transactions expect validation for a long time while fees grow. It creates an inconvenience for the user and generates extra costs.
 
Even the introduction of SegWit could not completely remedy the situation. This is why developers started looking for another solution and found one. This is the Lightning Network technology that we're going to tell you about in this and the next publication.
 
Lightning Network enables instant transactions with minimum fees.
 
The technology was developed by Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja. They started working on it in 2017 when queues in the bitcoin network became so long that it slowed down operations on some exchange platforms. In addition, transaction fees became unreasonably high — over 20 times higher than before. Clearly, both network developers and users were dissatisfied with this situation.
 
Lightning Network enables you to make transactions without broadcasting to the blockchain which means transactions are not added to the general queue and, consequently, you don't have to pay high fees for speeding up processing — transactions are completed instantly with almost no fee. At the same time, it does not affect security in any way. “Is that even possible?” you may ask. Yes, it's possible. Our next publication will be about how Lightning Network works.

[SIGEN]

Lightning Network Technology: What It Is and How It Works. Part 2
 
Today we continue to discuss the Lightning Network technology and how it works.
 
Designated channels
 
To make a payment in the Lightning network, a designated payment channel is opened — this is a separate network for specific transaction parties on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. For instance, if you want to transfer money to a friend, a separate multi-signature network is created for the two of you.
 
You can specify a certain balance amount in BTC you will own in the channel. If you need to make a transfer within this channel, you can specify the amount, and your transfer is immediately received by the recipient, with a minimum fee.
 
You can specify any balance amount for the channel and use it for multiple payments — funds will be transferred from your balance as you spend them. You can close the channel at any time and transfer the remaining amount to your address in the bitcoin network.
 
But what about the blockchain?
 
The blockchain is obviously still out there. But it does not record all payments you make — it only saves information about opening and closing of the payment channel in the Lightning Network. Payments are made within the channel based on multi-signatures, as mentioned in Part 1. In other words, it does the same thing as Bitcoin, but there are no queues and huge fees.
 
How can channels be used?
 
Developers of the Lightning Network have tried to ensure maximum convenience for the users. You don't have to open a separate payment channel with each particular recipient. If you don't have your own channel, you can use channels owned by other network users. All channels in the Lightning Network are interconnected — it might not be a direct connection, but they can be connected through other channels. Therefore, if you want to transfer money to a friend and you have a friend in common with an open channel, you and your friend just need to join the channel of your other friend and make transfers. 
 
This useful innovation is already being adopted by the bitcoin network. The network now includes over 1,500 Lightning nodes with about 6,000 payment channels. With each passing day, these numbers grow — we can clearly see the progress!

Hodlers as the Basis of the Crypto Market
 
The HODL strategy on the cryptocurrency market refers to an investor holding onto their assets despite all events.
 
I AM HODLING
 
The term “HODL” is derived from a misspelling by a Bitcoin investor back in 2013 when a post titled “I AM HODLING” was published at one of the forums. What he meant was “to hold”, but Bitcoin supporters enjoyed this misspelling so much that they started using it to denote their faith in Bitcoin's ultimate success. Hodlers even have a kind of a motto: “Hold On for Dear Life” — hold your assets as if your life depends on it. Putting emotions aside, this strategy is the easiest for the investor: having bought or mined bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies, the investor has to refrain from selling or exchanging it, they just have to hold it in their wallet. But is it profitable?
 
Hodler's profit
 
Historically, being a hodler in the crypto market is quite profitable. Let's look at Bitcoin as an example and see how its price changed over time. In 2013, when the term was coined, Bitcoin cost $600. In 2014 and 2015, its price plunged by almost two times, but in 2016 it shot up to $1,000 and continued to rise until late 2017 when it reached $20,000. Even now, after Bitcoin price plummeted, it still costs over 10 times more than back in 2013. If we compare the current price of Bitcoin with its launch price, many hodlers are actual millionaires.
 
Hodlers “hover” behind many cryptocurrencies. For example, hodlers who bought Litecoin before March 2017 when it cost around $3 per coin made a decent buck. By late 2017, the price of Litecoin surged to almost $400. The profit margin was over 100 times. Even if Litecoin costs about $120, hodlers are at an advantage in any case.

Cryptocurrency Faucets — What They Are and What They Do
 
The cryptocurrency industry is sufficiently well developed and offers you a lot of various ways to make money. One of them is the “cryptocurrency faucet”. Let's talk about it in more detail.

Faucet dispensing money
 
Cryptocurrency faucets are websites where a user can register and complete some simple tasks. They are rewarded with a small amount of cryptocurrency, e. g. BTC or LTC. But these amounts are really, really small.
 
As a rule, these websites have captcha and a timer. Sometimes they only have captcha. The reward is paid out after filling out the captcha. Although these web-sites are all alike, they differ in functionality, payout size and some other features.
 
Types of faucets
 

• Accumulating faucets will add small amounts of cryptocurrency to your internal balance, and you can withdraw it in a certain day of the week or after a certain amount has accumulated.
• Instantly paying faucets make payouts instantaneously.

You need to simply fill out a captcha or complete a task in order to get your reward. Tasks may differ in terms of completion time and, consequently, payout size. As a rule, users who pay a lot of attention to faucets make a list of faucets and divide their time between them to maximize their profit and minimize the time spent on task completion.
 
In part, these administrative tasks are completed by the so called faucet rotators — web-sites that aggregate dozens of faucets.
 
One should also note that only a small number of faucets will last longer than a year; they are mostly very short lived. Although some faucets are “long-living”.

TREZOR Cold Storage
 
Storing cryptocurrencies in the so-called “cold” wallets is a lot safer than using online wallets or the exchange for the same purpose. One of the most well-known wallets of this type is TREZOR. Let's have a look at its features.
 
Real wallet
 
TREZOR looks like a real wallet, even though it's electronic: it's a small device that stores your cryptocurrency assets. Coins are not actually stored in the wallet, but you cannot run any transactions without it. Moreover, whenever you make a transaction, your cryptographic signature is affixed within the device, in the offline mode, and does not leave the wallet. The wallet is compatible with multiple software-based crypto wallets, including Android-based devices. The wallet supports transactions with Bitcoin, Litecoin and altcoins based on them and other cryptocurrencies. 
 
Security
 
TREZOR is protected against virtually all types of attacks. Hackers won't be able to get their hands on your money even if they want to. Even if you're robbed and held at gun point (unfortunately, such incidents have already been registered), you can always buy your freedom with a small amount, and the criminal will have no way of knowing how much money you own. Moreover, you can even connect your wallet to virus-infected computers. No one will get your money even if your wallet is lost or broken. The owner can, of course, restore the account and the money using a secret phrase. Keep your mnemonic SEED phrase safe and secret.

Price Analysis: Moving Averages

In our previous posts, we introduced you to some analytical tools, such as volume indicator, relative strength and zig zag. Another tools that is popular with traders and used to analyze cryptocurrency price fluctuations is the moving average. Let's look into what it is and why this tool can be useful.
 
Moving average
 
Moving average enables traders to analyze average prices over a time period or interval. The resulting chart is displayed on top of the current price movement, and we can see the trends prevailing in the market.
 
Obviously, if cryptocurrency price is above moving average, most traders would assume the price will continue to rise. If it's below moving average, it's going to decline. Moving average over a longer time period is seen as more conclusive and accurate. Moreover, a chart may contain more than one moving average.
 
Three moving averages
 
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) tool enables you to analyze three moving averages providing you with more accurate forecasts. For example, if moving averages cross, it's like that the main trend is about to change.
 
When you first enter crypto market, you don't want to start by using moving average. However, after you've had some training with volume, relative strength and zig zag indicators, you will find it easy to understand moving average. You should use this tool in combination with other indicators. This will significantly improve that quality of your forecasts.

Number of Potential Bitcoin Users Has Grown by 1.8 Bln
 
In early April this year, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were declared Halal, i. e. permissible under Sharia law, in Muslim countries. Halal is anything that is allowed and permissible in Islam.
 
Just to remind you, late last year Egypt's grand mufti Shawqi Allam issued a fatwa which declared cryptocurrencies “con and fraud” and a tool of speculation, thus being in full contradiction to Islamic canons. This viewpoint was also supported by the authorities in other Muslim states which resulted in cryptocurrencies being banned in these countries.
 
But — and it's official now — the ban has been lifted!
 
Blossom Finance, a startup where mufti Muhammad Abu Bakar is a counsellor, published a research which concluded Bitcoin was money. Muslims can now use cryptocurrency unless local authorities disallow it. In actual fact, they can use it.
 
This decision could help the cryptocurrency market significantly expand and grow stronger by welcoming new people — potentially, it's 1.8 bln new users. We can see first effects already — Bitcoin's price is growing followed by a rise for most other cryptocurrencies.
 
But, above all else, it means cryptocurrency continues to grow and break new ground. Cryptocurrency holds the key to the future!

What is a Softfork for Cryptocurrency?
 
A softfork aims to improve the existing cryptocurrency network. It happens without users noticing the very moment of interference — they just take its consequences for granted.
 
Incomplete update
 
A softfork does not require a major interference with the cryptocurrency's master code, and all changes are backward-compatible. This is the main difference between a softfork and a hardfork, with the latter, roughly speaking, generating a new coin. A softfork happens within the existing network, and its objective is improving network operations without making significant changes.
 
It's a sort of regular software update we all have to make by uploading updated versions of old software, e. g. word processing or image editing apps. Old versions accumulate too many non-critical mistakes, or users request some improvements to be made. It leads to the need for an update; in case of cryptocurrency — for a softfork.
 
How it happens
 
In the Bitcoin network, a softfork happens as follows: the system is “rolled back” in time, and new blocks replace the old blocks while the chain of blocks remains unchanged. New blocks are identical to the old blocks in terms of structure. After the softfork, “old” blocks are validated along with the new blocks. All transactions before and after the softfork remain equivalent in value.
 
A softfork is usually administered by a team of developers after they discuss the idea with the user community. Since, however, cryptocurrency has an open source code, a useful change may be implemented by any user if they approach the community with an idea and the community approves of it.
 
The most well-known softfork in the Bitcoin network is SegWit that was successfully implemented without a hardfork.

[SIGEN]

What is a Hardfork for Cryptocurrency?
 
Last year, the term “hardfork” that only experienced users of cryptocurrency used to know became known to a lot more. But quite a few users don't understand why a hardfork is needed and how it can be useful. Let's try to get things straight.
 
Problem
 
Cryptocurrency operations are based on certain rules set up at the development stage. Over time, however, grave technical flaws that slow down network operations may be identified, or some users might dislike certain restrictions hardwired into the source code.
 
Bitcoin is the most typical example. The network can process 7 transactions per second, and it was more than enough while the community was small. When, however, Bitcoin price and popularity surged, this processing rate turned out to be insufficient leading to hanging transactions and rising fees.
 
Solution
 
In this case, one of the radical solutions to the problem is a hardfork in the cryptocurrency network. A hardfork is splitting a cryptocurrency into two separate parts using software-based methods. In this case, developers don't just improve the cryptocurrency - they modify its source code. A new coin - a “fork” - appears, and basically it's supposed to be better than its “source”.
 
The result is that either all users make a move to the new branch or the community splits up into advocates of the new version and the old version. In the case of Bitcoin, it has had a few hardforks that created some new coins, but it's still the dominating cryptocurrency. None of the “forks” could entirely surpass its “parent” in terms of all its features.
 
Still, one can view Bitcoin Cash as a successful example of a seamless hardfork. It resulted from a hardfork in the autumn of 2017, and it now hovers between the second and the fourth place in the Top 5 list of cryptocurrencies below the main cryptocurrency, i. e. Bitcoin.

Europe to Get More Involved with the Blockchain
 
Some time ago the European countries signed a Declaration creating a Digital Single Market and establishing a Blockchain Partnership. This is a massive success for the blockchain technology that could change the European Union and subsequently the entire world for the better in the near future.
 
Declaration
 
The document was signed by 22 countries, including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and the UK which is still an EU member.
 
The Declaration envisages that member states will exchange experience in the development and implementation of the blockchain technology across various sectors.
 
This is how Mariya Gabriel, EU Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, commented on the signature of the agreement: “In the future, all public services will use blockchain technology. This is a great opportunity for Europe to promote user trust and to protect personal data, to help create new business opportunities benefiting citizens. The Partnership launched today enables Member States to turn the enormous potential of blockchain technology into better services for citizens.”
 
What will happen next?
 
What could be the practical outcome of Europe's blockchainization? It's likely single blockchain standards will be developed for the entire European Union. At this point in time, blockchain is best used for document management and logistics optimization, therefore it will be widely used in these sectors.
 
Blockchain-based documentation management will make processing of documents faster and more accurate, free up a lot of government officials who only work on technicalities and, therefore, cut down public spending and the tax burden on citizens.
 
In logistics, blockchain will significantly accelerate trade turnover between European countries and will make products cheaper.
 
We have only mentioned two industries to be improved using blockchain — in reality, there's a lot more. In future, blockchain will give a powerful boost to the EU economy.

Cryptocurrency Trading Strategies: Scalping
 
Cryptocurrencies as a trading asset have not been around for long, but many traders have figured out pretty fast that cryptocurrency trading has its own patterns which allow to develop trading strategies. One of these strategies is scalping.
 
Basics of scalping
 
Scalping is the execution of multiple short-term transactions aiming to make profit on the intraday fluctuations of cryptocurrency prices. Profits made in each transaction are small, but they can compound into a large gain.
 
The trader will first carefully study cryptocurrency price trends using charts, latest transactions and the order book. They will then position their orders and closely monitor cryptocurrency behavior to make an instant profit.
 
Advantages of scalping
 
Scalping uses the high volatility of cryptocurrency prices while decreasing dependence on market trends. In other words, the trader who uses this strategy can make profit in any market conditions: both on the rise, and on the downturn. Even though this strategy requires a great deal of concentration and self-discipline, it can also bring in a fair daily return.

Cryptocurrency Trading Strategies: News Based Trading
 
It is rightfully assumed that cryptocurrency prices are strongly affected by news. News based trading is one of the popular methods to trade on cryptoexchange. Let's have a closer look at some of the fundamental principles you need to adhere to in order to preserve and increase your funds.
 
Most traders operate as follows:

• When news are bad, all traders fear a drop in price and engage in a “sale”.
• When news are good, they buy cryptocurrency.

This is an adequate response to news. However, in terms of making profit this is not always the right strategy.
 
If you want to make profit, the right strategy would be the opposite one:

• When news is bad, buy cryptocurrency.
• When news is good, sell cryptocurrency.

In this case, you'll be able to make profit since cryptocurrency price is lower when news are bad.
 
Sources
 
A lot of beginning investors and traders notice that news have an impact on the Bitcoin price. A lot of them try to trade based on their own interpretation of the news. They soon can see that they suffer losses or fail to make profit by misinterpreting an event.
 
The key reason for misinterpreting is using an unreliable source of news or, more often, a source that publishes the news too late for making trading decisions.
 
Therefore, you need to find an adequate source of news. One of the best sources is forums and blogs. It's also important that forum and blog participants share their trading knowledge and experience and analyze errors and problems.
 
Local manipulators
 
Some players on cryptocurrency exchanges set up groups tasked with initiating cryptocurrency price movement in the right direction. They can have significant means and use them to rapidly increase or decrease the price.
 
However, local manipulators don't need to spend their own funds — they could just make a stir around a piece of news and force traders buy or sell cryptocurrency. This is exactly when manipulators make a profit by making the right bids.  If an exchange has a chat, it's an advantage for manipulators since they can use it to directly influence traders.
 
There's some speculation — though having no proof just yet — that certain global news regarding cryptocurrencies are also initiated by manipulator groups. Operations of some exchanges were even suspended this and last years on suspicion of using insider information.
 
Therefore, even if you trust your source, you must always double-check all news, employ analytical tools and compare price movement on various trading platforms.

Cryptocurrency Trading Strategies: Arbitrage
 
In previous publications, we talked about some popular trading strategies, such as scalping and news based trading. Today, we'll tell you about another strategy — arbitrage.
 
The arbitrage strategy is when a trader trades on multiple exchanges. They use the difference in cryptocurrency prices on different exchanges and makes a profit on this difference. The trader compares prices on multiple exchanges and calculates the profit: where cryptocurrency can be bought at a lower price and sold at a higher price. In other words, the trader compares the price of the same cryptocurrency on different exchanges and calculates when the profit will be larger.
 
Arbitrage is not an easy-to-use strategy, but it's quite profitable
 
This strategy cannot be regarded as an easy-to-use strategy, but such trading can be the most profitable. To engage in arbitrage, you need to register accounts on multiple cryptoexchanges and carefully analyze and memorize their respective functionalities. You need to do it to rapidly respond and not to lag behind when you create buy/sell orders.
 
It's important to correctly calculate fees to be paid for transferring funds between exchanges and to account for the deposit/withdrawal rate. You should also analyze and memorize how prices usually change on specific platforms. Just like with any other strategy, it's good to master analytical tools, learn how to rapidly and competently read and understand charts.

How Do You Find a Broker?
 
Some people who wish to make money from cryptocurrency can't or don't want to trade personally, for various reasons.  In this case a crypto investor counts on a broker to help them. But how do you find a really efficient broker?
 
Indications of trustworthiness
 
The key criteria to be taken into account when choosing a broker are legality, trust and regulation. These characteristics must be confirmed, for instance, by a CySEC assurance in EU countries. CySEC is an authority that regulates activities of legal brokers.
 
Other countries also have institutions that monitor broker activities. If there's none since cryptocurrencies are an emerging market, there's always a risk. In this case, key attributes of a trustworthy broker are their experience in trading, number of customers, size of managed assets and customer reviews. Obviously, one must also consider what currencies the broker trades in.
 
Fees
 
It's important to take note of the fees the broker charges. Successful brokers who are confident of the outcome will not charge their customers a lot. Most brokers get paid for their services with the difference between the buy price and the sell price of cryptocurrency in the same point in time, i. e. the spread. A lot of brokers charge a fee for swaps, i. e. long-term retention of items by customers.  In each case you need to carefully calculate your expenses, potential profit and loss before you select a broker offering certain terms and conditions.
 
Leverage
 
You should use broker's leverage very carefully. This is borrowed money the broker lends to the customer for trading purposes. Using leverage may result in a high profit, but it's also a high-risk tool on the cryptocurrency market. Even more so since cryptocurrency volatility allows you to make money without applying such serious tools. In any case, you should refrain from using leverage if you have just started your journey on the cryptocurrency market. SIGEN.pro recommends you to use your personal funds only.

What is an Order Book on the Cryptoexchange?
 
An order book is a serious and efficient tool that can be used to analyze the cryptocurrency situation. This is how it works.
 
Buying and selling
 
The order book is a visualization of bids and asks on the exchange. It provides you with in-depth information about the correlation and volume of cryptocurrency demand and supply in real time.
 
On SIGEN.pro the blue part (green or other colors on other exchanges) of the order book shows Buy Orders. The red part shows Sell Orders. Consequently, the market price is most often between the best sell price and the best buy price.
 
Information in the order book reflects the depth and sentiment of the market and can be used to make pretty accurate forecasts regarding cryptocurrency price movement. The order book shows the biggest orders that can be used to make trading decisions.
 
Pricing
 
The order books allows you to simultaneously see two price categories: the topmost Buy Order reflects the highest price buyers are ready to pay for cryptocurrency while the topmost Sell Order reflects the lowest price sellers are ready to sell the asset for.
 
For instance, the price in the order book is fixed the following way: when cryptocurrency is sold at a favorable price, it's replaced by another order with the ask price higher than in the previous order. Transactions follow one another, with each subsequent one more expensive than the previous one. With falling prices, the situation is similar, except that the buyer creates a low-price order and when this order “plays out”, another order is created, with an even lower price.
 
As a rule of thumb, picking the entrance point with the help of the order book works best for players who aim to hold their positions over some trading sessions.
 
Whatever purposes you are to use the order book for, you should do so carefully. Why? We'll tell you in our next publication.

Movement in the order book: Trend and Manipulation
 
As mentioned in the previous publication, the order book may be a useful aid in determining the trading strategy on the cryptomarket.
 
Trend
 
The information in the order book clearly reflects the predominating market sentiment — buy or sell. You can see how demand and supply correlate. Each trader makes their own decision as to how they are going to trade using the order book data. However, most of them will follow the trend while strengthening it further.
 
When the price change dynamics is especially high, aspiring traders must be very careful not to fall victim to the stir around buying at a high price and not to take part in the panic selling of cryptocurrencies.
 
The trend may be modified by a big player or multiple players who create very big orders against the general trend. The price may also change under pressure from a lot of traders who simultaneously respond to certain events on the cryptocurrency market, such as the news.
 
Manipulations
 
Aspiring traders often confine themselves to the order books since the latter visualize things very well, and traders think they don't need any other tools. This strategy, however, is a mistake.
 
The truth is the order book does not show the entire picture of the market:

• Big players may create false order and later cancel them. This will cause the trader to respond to changes in order book data randomly and incorrectly, thus suffering losses.
• Big orders with the price being 1 or 2 points lower or higher than the market price can be created for manipulation purposes, to create the feeling a massive buy or sell is about to happen.
• Some players don't even create orders — they just store coins on their balance and sometimes use orders previously created by other players; therefore, the order book will not reflect the real demand / supply picture.

Order books are often manipulated; to prevent it, you need to crosscheck order book data using other tools for price movement analysis or even turn to the order book as the last thing. If price movement seems suspicious, you should compare prices on a few exchanges.

How Can You See the “Double Bottom” and Use It to “Hit the Skies”?
 
A lot of trading players look forward to the so-called “double bottom”. The name derives from a very particular charting pattern. Why this name and what's interesting about it?
 
Chart
 
The “double bottom” looks like the letter W. This chart pattern is generated when the price hits a low (the “first bottom”), then rebounds and drops again (the “second bottom”) to finally soar.
 
This movement demonstrates that the market is out of balance, with traders fighting to close transactions during the “first bottom”. When the price starts to rebound, some traders open positions, and the price drops. Traders with a good reaction manage to make quite a profit from the W-shaped pattern. Holders, i. e. traders who hold their assets and do not respond to minor market movements.
 
The “double bottom” may be forecast even before it starts to form. For example, when a long-term slump in price is interrupted by good news and the price starts to slowly grow.
 
Using the double bottom
 
It's important to promptly notice that the “double bottom” is forming: drop – rebound — drop and subsequent price growth. The point is that a part of investors leaves on each curve of this pattern believing that they know how the trend is going to change further. Obviously, they make the same mistake three times before they can see that the price, having gone through the drop – rebound – drop sequence, starts to soar.
 
In this case, the most patient players are the ones that win. This patience is based on a better knowledge of how to use the tools for price movement analysis and on not jumping to conclusions.

Accumulating and Distributing: a Thing or Two About the Accumulation/Distribution Indicator
 
The Accumulation/Distribution indicator (AD) was first described by L. Williams in 1972 in his book “How I Made One Million Dollars”. Let's talk about it in a little more detail.
 
AD
 
Accumulation/Distribution is a volume-based indicator accounting for the general trend, volume of trading as well as the opening/closing prices and low/high prices. On the plus side, this indicator is synced with the price rather than based on calculating an average value. AD is primarily a trend indicator that both adequately determines the price at the observed point in time and is a useful tool for making forecasts. If selected, this indicator is usually displayed below the main chart of security price movement.
 
Interpreting AD
 
There's a mathematical formula that helps interpret this indicator. However, most traders confine themselves to the visual observation since the Accumulation/Distribution indicator is sufficiently insightful in itself.
 
The indicator shows that the nearer the closing price is to the high or low price, the bigger share is obtained by the bulls (traders operating for a rise) or bears (traders operating for a fall).
 
Accordingly, if the indicator shows the price closing in a downtrend (the indicator value is less than zero), bears are dominating; if the price closes in an uptrend (the indicator value if greater than zero), bulls are dominating. On other words, the market is owned by the former or the latter.
 
Moreover, if the trend updates the extreme value (maximum or minimum) while AD does not reproduce this update, it may mean the trend is about to reverse.
 
As we can see, the Accumulation / Distribution indicator may be the key indicator for selecting the trading strategy on the cryptomarket.

Ethereum (ETH) trading is now available on SIGEN.pro!
 
Dear friends, Ethereum (ETH) — the leader of crypto market –– has been added to the SIGEN.pro platform. Ethereum is known as the world’s second-most popular cryptocurrency by market capitalization (over $63 billion) having millions of users.  Now you can use our exchange, P2P platform and instant exchanger for transactions with one of the world's leading cryptocurrency.
 
Ethereum's Features and Advantages:

• Transaction speed is a few seconds. In Ethereum the block generation time is set from 5 to 30 seconds and the network betters Bitcoin’s 10-minute transaction speed or Litecoin's 2.5 minutes by using the Ghost protocol.
• Transaction cost is a few cents. In the Ethereum network transaction fees do not depend on the transfer amount, and cost only a few cents.
• Blockchain 2.0. Ethereum is a new stage in the evolution of cryptocurrencies. It is not only a cryptocurrency but also a powerful decentralized blockchain platform where it is easy to create smart-contracts, release new tokens and blockchain-based projects. The function implemented in ERC-20 token standard helps the web client to interact with token and blockchain more efficient and fast.
• Profitable mining. It is a lot easier to mine Ethereum than Bitcoin as Ethereum mining does not require as powerful equipment as Bitcoin miners use.

PRIZM (PZM) — now on SIGEN.pro!
 
Dear friends, we've got great news for you — a new cryptocurrency has been listed to be traded on our exchange, P2P platform and instant exchanger. The SIGEN.pro platform has added PRIZM (PZM) to its portfolio. This cryptocurrency has a fast-growing audience and unique features.
 
PRIZM's Features and Advantages:

• Rapid transactions. Block generation in the PRIZM network takes only 59 seconds.  It's a lot faster than for most other cryptocurrencies.
• Fixed fee — 0.5% of the transfer amount, but no more than 10 PZM.  While other tokens use a floating fee for all transactions, in the PRIZM network the fee is fixed on the level of 0.5% of the transfer amount. However, once the fee reaches 10 PZM, it’s fixed on this level and does not grow regardless of the transaction size. In other words, even if you make a transfer of 10,000,000 PZM, you’ll still be charged with a fee of 10 PZM.
• Paramining Based on Proof-of-Stake. This is a unique and easy way to mine new coins developed specifically for PRIZM. Paramining does not require powerful computers, and the reward depends on the account balance. The more coins a miner owns, the bigger the reward is. To start paramining, you only need to transfer tokens to your account, and coin mining will start automatically. All you will have left to do is watch your account balance grow continuously.
• Partnership Program. Paramining also allows you to get a reward for bringing in new users which is not an option with other cryptocurrencies. If you build your own structure, your reward for paramining will rise. The more tokens your referrals own, the bigger your reward will be.

Important Rules of Cryptotrading:
No Greed, No Panic
 
In one of the previous publications, we already told you about the main rules to be followed by a trader on the cryptocurrency market. Today, we'd like to consolidate this knowledge and tell you about the two key rules to be known by each trader.
 
Don't fall victim to greed
 
Don't fall victim to the desire to earn as much and as fast as possible by buying cryptocurrencies with no regard to the price and the trend. Don't expect the price to always soar or slump unless analysis tools unambiguously prove it. If an aspiring trader feels the thrill that cannot be analytically explained, it's time to stop and exit the trade.
 
Don't surrender to panic
 
Panic is even more dangerous than greed. It's harder to tackle since usually it attacks you when the price collapses — it seems you could lose all your assets. However, you often need to stop and exit the trade to avoid becoming a part of panic selling.
 
As regards cryptocurrencies during panic selling events, it's worth remembering that, despite their volatility in the short and medium term, in the long term cryptocurrencies demonstrate a constant growth, and it's best to be able to trade in the current prices rather than surrender to emotion, sell all your assets and quit trading for good.

[SIGEN]

What is a “Short” and a “Long”?
 
The terms “long position (a long)” and “short position (a short)” are key concepts for the stock exchange. Despite what their names suggest, these fundamental trading strategies have no connection with the transaction duration.
 
Long Position (or Long)
 
A long (or long position) is the main method of trading wherein a trader expects the asset to rise in value over short or long term. In other words, the trader buys cryptocurrency “in the hope of growth”. This is what “bullish” traders do. Traders who go long on cryptocurrencies virtually shoulder the entire market preventing cryptocurrencies from falling in price too much.
 
Short Position (or Short)
 
A trader who “goes short”, i. e. enters into a short position, sells cryptocurrency with the expectation that it will fall in value.
 
Short positions allow the trader to make profit when cryptocurrencies become cheaper. In this case the trader borrows tokens or buys them on credit. They sell the tokens at the current price during a downturn and buy them back at a lower price in order to cover their debts. Traders who choose this strategy are “bearish”.
 
Experienced traders can make profit on both long and short positions. However, most of them will only opt for one option rather than use both. Please note that long positions are much more favorable for the growth of the cryptocurrency market.

[SIGEN]

Hashing and Hash Rate as the Basis of the Cryptocurrency World
 
The world of cryptocurrencies is full of terms which are worth knowing in order to understand how the market operates. Let's have a look at the concepts of hash rate and hashing.
 
Hashing
 
Hashing is finding a solution to a math problems by using a miner's computing system. In other words, it's the cornerstone of the cryptocurrency system. Its functions are similar to the ones of a “printing press” in the conventional monetary system.
 
Hash Rate
 
A hash rate reflects the number of mining cycles a miner's computing system can run per second to find the right solution to the problem. Consequently, the higher the hash rate is, the sooner a miner can solve math problems and the more reward they can earn.
 
Cryptocurrency networks also have a hash rate that reflects the total computing power of all mining devices. Therefore, to be able to mine cryptocurrency in networks with a high hash rate, you must have a high hash rate of your own, i. e. more powerful devices.
 
Hash rate is measured in:

• hash/second (H/s) — 1 (the lowest);
• kilohash/second (Kh/s) — 1,000;
• megahash/second (MH/s) — 1 mln;
• gigahash/second (GH/s) — 1 bln;
• terahash/second (TH/s) — 1 trillion;
• petahash/second (PH/s) — 1 quadrillion;

The hash rate measured in H/s is not used any more since the difficulty rate of any cryptocurrency network is continuously growing and requires more computing power. The quest to reduce consumption while preserving the rate of solving problems is the key issue for a miner.
 
FYI, the hash rate is over 33,000,000 TH/s in the Bitcoin network, about 312 TH/s for Litecoin, and 278 TH/s for Ethereum. In other words, the Bitcoin hash rate is and will remain the highest. Bitcoin's network has the most power, but mining the first-ever cryptocurrency is the most difficult task, too.
 
The concepts of hashing and hash rate are relevant for the understanding of how cryptocurrency is mined and can clarify the question of cryptocurrency prospects.

Who are “Whales” and “Hamsters”?
 
In addition to bulls and bears, the crypto exchange is also inhabited with whales and hamsters. We have already discussed the former two inhabitants of the trading “kingdom”, and today we'll learn about whales and hamsters.
 
Whales
 
Being a whale is a dream of many successful traders or investors who gradually build up capital and grow their ability to affect market behavior. However, an investor who invests a huge one-time amount into trading can also become a whale.
 
A whale possesses a large amount of coins. By convention, a whale is seen as an owner of 1,000 BTC or more. Whales can cause cryptocurrency price fluctuations at least on a single exchange. At any rate, they are often accused of this by a lot of traders.
 
These allegations are most often voiced when cryptocurrency prices slumps. However, whales do not necessarily engage in large-scale sale or sell large amounts of coins deliberately. In any case, careless or provocative behavior by whales activates another type of trading animals — the so-called hamsters.
 
Hamsters
 
Hamsters are usually fledgling traders who are vulnerable to a mass panic. They sell out their assets in fear of slumping cryptocurrency prices. Or, on the contrary, stricken by euphoria, they tend to buy out all they can at an elevated price.
 
Most hamsters don't bother to study the basics of market trading trying to catch the “hype wave” and following their crowd instincts: “They're all buying — I'll buy, too” or “They're all selling — I'll sell, too”. As a result, while trying to get rich, hamsters help whales or traders who are just careful enough to make profit. The crypto market actually likes hamsters. With each year, the number of hamsters grows.
 
It's worth noting that the cryptocurrency market is often so volatile that even experienced traders may give in to panic. It usually happens when the price of cryptocurrency falls — this is when even iron nerves may snap. However, if a trader intends to stay in the market in the longer term, they soon learn to both see unreasonably abrupt market movements and make profit on them.

Scam or No Scam — This is the Question
 
All of you probably know that “scam” literally means con or fraud. However, in the online world, this term has a narrower meaning — raising funds for an allegedly promising project that will then disappear together with the investors' money.
 
Pre-Scam
 
Scam-projects usually spring up in hype industries, i. e. the fastest-growing sectors. Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain are a hype sector now; therefore, a lot of conmen find their investor victims in this area.

A scam project is very hard to identify initially. Since cryptoindustry grows very fast, no developers can be confident their project will be a success.
The difference between a scam and any other project is that scam has no success embedded in it — it's just about collecting money from the investors.

However, there's a range of characteristics that might prove a project is a scam.

Scam Characteristics

• Regular technical issues on the project web-site, DDoS attacks and failures may indicated a project is a scam.
• An important scam characteristic is the low activity of the support service. No one answers your questions, no one responds to your comments or replies with trivialities.
• Despite the announced big plans, the project makes no headway and does not grow.
• Problems related to withdrawing or getting back your funds are probably the most obvious characteristic of scam. In the case of cryptocurrencies, it may be an issue related to selling the tokens. Unfortunately, if the investor reaches this stage, it's hardly possible to get back the invested funds.
• A lot of negative reviews are published online, there's a strong negative feeling around the project on professional forums — this is what you should look out for. Cryptocurrencies are still an area for the “advanced” investors who understand what they invest in — don't ignore their opinion.

These are the key characteristics of scam projects. Each characteristic on its own may simply mean that a project is experiencing some growth difficulties. Together, however, these characteristics are a sign it's not safe and the project is, in all probability, a scam.

What is a Node in a Cryptocurrency Network?
 
A node is, in essence, any computer connected to the blockchain network and using the P2P protocol. Nodes use this protocol to communicate with each other distributing information about transactions and blocks across the network. Strictly speaking, nodes are the key component of the blockchain network.
 
Nodes may be lightweight and full
 
A full node is any computer that is fully synced with the blockchain network. Each full node has a copy of all blockchain data — starting from the genesis block and ending with the last generated block — on its hard drive. After each new block is created, information is updated, i. e. it's always up-to-date.
 
A light node is also fully synced with the network, but it does not store all the information from the blockchain on its hard drive — it only services the network. Most nodes in the network are lightweight; however, full nodes form the backbone of the network.
 
What are nodes for?
 
All nodes support network operations: they automatically validate transactions and generate new blocks while protecting the network from fraudulent activities. In many networks, node owners (miners) are rewarded with new coins that are generated with new blocks.

Traders: Professionals and Amateurs
 
A trader is a person who trades in assets, such as cryptocurrencies, on their own initiative. They do this at their own risk and peril to make profit.
 
Trading is not an easy occupation; it's based on conducting trading transactions in order to make money. Traders deals with all kinds of assets: securities, precious metals, raw materials, options and futures, currency and cryptocurrency. They must be able to obtain and properly analyze incoming data, correctly respond to market changes and avoid falling into despair if their actions have been unsuccessful. Key traits for a trader are attention to detail and patience.
 
Types of traders
 
There are multiple trader classifications: in terms of strategy, behavior on the market and trading psychology. You already know some types of traders: bulls and bears, whales and hamsters. All traders may generally be divided into two big categories: professionals and amateurs.

• For professional traders, trading is a job that generates an income for them. Most often they have economic or financial education, work in investment funds, brokerage firms or banks. They can also work independently. Their decisions are the most informed and educated; they rarely fail and know how to make profit regardless of market performance.
• An amateur is a trader with no specialized education who regards trading as an additional means of making money. An amateur trader may also be successful if they know how to follow their instinct and contain emotions. Ultimately, an amateur may become a professional.

What trader category do you think you are in?

Blockchain.info Popular Wallet: Brief Overview
 
The Blockchain.info cryptocurrency wallet that is often called Blockchain Wallet or simply Blockchain is today one of the most popular wallets. But why? Let's review its features in more detail.
 
Features of Blockchain.info

• Users have downloaded this wallet over 15 mln times viewing it as the safest, most user-friendly and accessible. Using it is very convenient.
• The main version of this cryptocurrency wallet is a web version. Besides, Blockchain Wallet can be downloaded to a smartphone: both iOS and Android-based.
• To create a wallet, you need to register an account on the official Blockchain Info web-site and follow the provided instructions to activate it. Within the wallet, you can use three cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin, Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash.
• When you deposit Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, you wallet's address will change after each completed transaction. When, however, you deposit Ethereum, the address remains the same. You don't have to worry if you send BTC or BCH to your previous address — it's still reach your wallet.
• Among all web wallets, Blockchain.info is probably the safest. It allows you to copy private keys/mnemonic phrases so that you don't lose your coins even if you wallet stops operating. Wallet servers are also secured against all kinds of attacks. It has never been hacked in its entire history of operation.
• Additionally, Blockchain has got a built-in Security Center with various protective tools. Security of your personal wallet is ensured via three methods of authentication: verified e-mail, mobile phone linked to the account and Tor blocking requests that block IP addresses of the Tor network from accessing the account.
• The wallet calculates the transaction fee based on the network's activities and load. As a result, you are offered two options when making a transfer: for fast and for long validation. You can also set up the fee manually.
• You can now exchange and buy/sell cryptocurrencies directly in the wallet (though it's not available in all countries).
• One of the advantages is an incomplete set of functionalities. For instance, it takes a lot of effort to “sign a message” in the wallet to prove your right of ownership over a Bitcoin address. As an example, this action may be required for ICO. Some other functions that are in low demand are also not available, but it will hardly be notices by 99% of users.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb: Bitcoin is the First Organic Currency
 
An authoritative, globally renowned scholar, economist and trader — Nassim Nicholas Taleb — who authored the Black Swan theory has talked about Bitcoin. By the way, the Black Swan theory which talks about an unpredictable game-changing event has allowed some traders to earn over 1 bln dollars. So it's worth listening to what this scholar has got to say.
 
Global uprising
 
Nassim Taleb expressed his opinion of Bitcoin in the introduction to a book about cryptocurrency by Saifedean Ammous. In particular, Taleb believes that we're now witnessing a global uprising against conventional assets, against the centralized system of finance management, against the inefficient actions by the top financial elite. Bitcoin is the foundation of this macroeconomic uprising.
 
Organic currency with no country
 
Bitcoin has no single center of control; it belongs to a multitude of people and is developed by a group of enthusiasts. Taleb thinks that Bitcoin is undoubtedly a currency, even though without “its own country”. This is the first organic currency which is not controlled by central banks and governments and can be used by citizens from any country. Taleb feels that Bitcoin's technical problems will be overcome, and it will become truly public.
 
Bitcoin's uncontrollability, Taleb says, “provides us, the grassroots, with insurance against a future as pictured by George Orwell”, i. e. against turning community into totalitarian barracks.

Research by Analysts: Portrait of Today's Bitcoin Investor
 
Some time ago, the LendEDU analytical agency conducted a survey of Bitcoin users. The questions regarded investment into the first cryptocurrency, thus allowing the analysts to make a generalized portrait of an average Bitcoin investor.
 
Changing the world and making profit
 
Most American investors have invested in Bitcoin since they believe they can change the world. Naturally, many of them also count on making money from Bitcoin price growth. Few use Bitcoin as a means of payment as it's not profitable due to high price volatility and a long time of transaction processing.
 
Owning $3,000 in BTC and believing in growth
 
An average Bitcoin investor owns about 3,000 dollars in BTC which is neither a lot nor little. An average investor is not a millionaire due to the fact that early on few people invested in Bitcoin and missed their chance of becoming fabulously rich.
 
It was a technology that few understood, knew about and believed in. A lot of people started to buy Bitcoin and invest in it when its price began to grow rapidly and significantly. Investors count on the future growth of cryptocurrency.
 
Notorious holder
 
A lion's share of cryptocurrency investors are the so-called holders. They are users who are prepared to hold on to their cryptocurrency savings no matter what happens. Since they bought Bitcoin, they've never sold it and are not going to sell it, with this number accounting for 70 % of all Bitcoin users. The holder's strategy is based on the fact that Bitcoin price has been continuously rising since its inception in 2009 when one dollar cost 1,309.03 BTC. They are confident that Bitcoin growth in the future will remain just as spectacular.

[SIGEN]

Where is Bitcoin unwelcome?
 
The world has not quite made up its mind as to how it should treat cryptocurrencies. In some countries, Bitcoins and altcoins are viewed positively, and anyone who trades in them is safe. In other countries, trading in cryptocurrencies is not quite legal or is totally illegal.
 
Where is Bitcoin totally banned?
 
Countries where using cryptocurrencies would cost you a term in jail include: Nepal, Bolivia, Bangladesh, Algeria.
 
On a side note, countries like Nepal, Bolivia and Bangladesh are very poor, with a vague political system. They might not even know how cryptocurrencies could hurt them, but, most probably, it's about monopolizing the emission of currency. The local currency is so weak that Bitcoin could rapidly replace it as a means of payment which would endanger the very existence of the local authorities.
 
The cause of the negative attitude towards cryptocurrency in Algeria is not clear. It's a fairly big economy even though it's mostly based on oil and gas, and countries of this type usually lag behind those that are more developed in terms of technological progress.
 
It's quite possible that sooner or later the need for and benefits of using cryptocurrency will be figured out by the governments of these countries, too. We hope it's going to happen soon enough.
 
Where is Bitcoin partially banned?
 
Thailand has introduced a ban on investments, trading, creation of platforms, use of debit and credit cards to buy cryptocurrency. However, mining and use of cryptocurrency as a means of payment is allowed. It's something at least. However, it should be noted that Thailand is a rapidly developing country, and sooner or later cryptocurrency restrictions may be lifted. There's a heated debate here regarding legislative changes.
 
Iceland has also prohibited cryptocurrency buy/sell transactions. It's one of the smallest countries in the world that is not a part of big economic blocs; therefore, investors and traders may invest too much currency in BTC. If Bitcoin price slumps, it might actually cripple its economy. By the way, this country is currently researching whether cryptocurrency mining is possible, since calculations show that if everyone wishing to do so starts mining in Iceland, it may cause power outages.
 
Kyrgyzstan does not allow to buy or sell anything for cryptocurrency. In other words, they cannot use Bitcoin as a means of payment, but currently they are considering a possibility of altering the legislation.
 
Last autumn, China scared the entire cryptoworld by banning ICO, cryptocurrency exchanges and even promotional cryptocurrency projects. The reality though is not as bad as it sounded in the mass media. China has prohibited out-of-exchange trading; therefore, the Chinese actively trade in their local social media, on international P2P platforms, and the country is still a major cryptocurrency market.
 
Vietnam and Malaysia stick to a strict AML policy — the policy against laundering of fraudulent funds via cryptocurrencies to be used for terrorism and extremism purposes. In other words, each cryptocurrency transaction is closely investigated and regulated. At the same time, legal and regulated circulation of cryptocurrency is allowed. Legislation development is still under way.
 
Ecuador and Morocco have banned cryptocurrencies as a means of payment as well as buy/sell transactions; however, mining is allowed. As soon as these technically underdeveloped countries find a way to regulate taxation of cryptonomics actors, they are going to lift these bans.
 
The cryptocurrency situation in Indonesia is paradoxical. On the one hand, cryptocurrency as a means of payments and buy/sell transactions are banned; on the other hand, cryptocurrency projects have been developed with backing from the country's Central Bank. Moreover, cryptocurrency circulation is allowed in Bali where freelancers from cold and developed countries spend their winters — at least, Indonesians understand that cryptocurrency can generate real money for their economy.
 
The Indian conundrum
 
India has been shaken by cryptocurrency scandals since April when the Central Bank issued a circular note which was regarded by many as an actual ban. Members of the cryptocurrency market files a lawsuit against the Central Bank into the Supreme Court, but the Court supported the Bank's position.
 
However, multiple members of the cryptocurrency market note that there's no actual ban since the circular note only prohibits institutions subordinate to the Central Bank to provide services to cryptocurrency companies. Those who are not included in the Central Bank structure can do whatever they want. Therefore, the Indian cryptocurrency market continues to grow.

Key Concepts of the Bitcoin Network
 
Bitcoin is a whole virtual world. To find a way in this world, you need to know the key concepts. Today, we'll tell you all about blockchain, blocks, nodes and mining.
 
Block
 
Blocks in the Bitcoin blockchain are, in essence, registers that contain both information about each particular transaction (transfer) and information about all network transactions.  Each block has a fixed size which imposes certain restrictions on the Bitcoin network operations.
 
Blockchain

This is the cornerstone of Bitcoin. One might as well say that it was not Bitcoin that created the blockchain — rather, it was the blockchain that created Bitcoin. All types and kinds of existing blockchains are based on the Bitcoin blockchain. Blockchain is, in essence, a linked chain of blocks, which one block following another chronologically. A block in the Bitcoin network is no more than 1 MB. Overall, the entire Bitcoin network is about 142.5 GB.
 
Mining
 
Mining is a process of supporting network operations and generating bitcoins. It involves solving mathematical problems — hashes — by making calculations. When the right answer is obtained, new blocks are created and new coins are generated. The process is automatic and uses special software. In the first few years of Bitcoin's existence, mining could be carried out using regular computers, but now it can only be done using specialized powerful equipment. Bitcoin is virtually not mined by separate users — it's a real industry: huge “farms” with maintenance costs amounting to the biggest part of mined coins.
 
Miner
 
Before traders and investors owning huge amounts of bitcoins appeared, miners were dominating the Bitcoin network. But even now the network's very existence depends on miners since their main functions is validating transactions, adding new blocks into the blockchain and generating new bitcoins which are then given to them as a reward after hash is calculated. The reward is large — 12.5 BTC per generated block. In addition, miners receive the fees paid by other network users for transaction validation.
 
Node
 
A node is any computer in the Bitcoin network (where mining is “enabled”). Miners use nodes to support network operations. Each node stores a copy of blockchain and verifies the block chain sequence against that stored by other nodes on a continuous basis. If a node finds a block that does not correspond to the block chain sequence in the network, this block is rejected and is not included into the blockchain. This principle explains the invulnerability of Blockchain that cannot be hacked and modified.

[SIGEN]

Bitcoinomy
 
Let's go on talking about the key terms related to the Bitcoin network. Last time we talked about the terms related to the inner world of Bitcoin; now let's turn to the big world outside — the Bitcoin economy, or Bitcoinomy.
 
Altcoins
 
Altcoins are cryptocurrencies that were initially supposed to become an alternative to Bitcoin. The world now knows about 2,000 cryptocurrencies in total, wherein about 20 can be called top cryptocurrencies as they're well known to users and account for a significant share of the market. It should be noted that no cryptocurrency has become a full-scale alternative to Bitcoin even though a lot of altcoins have been and are still trying to do it.
 
ICO
 
Initial coin offering, or ICO is the initial offering of a cryptocurrency, i. e. a process of pre-selling the coin before it's listed on the exchanges. In other words, ICO is raising funds for developing a future coin, with investors getting the chance to buy the cryptocurrency at an attractive price at an initial stage.
 
When launching ICO, responsible developers must publish a plan for the allocation of funds received from the investors.
 
ICO may be public meaning anyone can take part in it or private meaning an investor can take part in it if they invest an amount “starting from…” in a particular currency.
 
It should be noted that the ICO market isn't regulated; therefore, it's often used by con artists. Before you make a decision to invest in an ICO, you should carefully analyze who, how and why has started it.
 
HODL
 
The term “HODL” originated in 2013 resulting from a typo on the Bitcointalk.org forum where a user wrote a post with the title “I AM HODLING”. The user actually meant “I am holding” in the sense that they were not going to sell Bitcoin, no matter what, and will hold it in their wallet. The community really liked this typo, and since then HODL has remained the main strategy for Bitcoin owners — they don't sell it regardless market conditions and just wait until it grows in value in the long term.
 
FUD
 
FUD stands for “Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt”.  This is a piece of news that seems dubious, but since users cannot be certain it's fake they feel fear. As a rule, a FUD is launched and disseminated to make the community sell Bitcoin at a cheaper price to whoever is willing to buy. The person buying Bitcoin amid general fears might as well be the FUD's initiator or beneficiary.
 
SCAM
 
SCAM is a fraudulent project that often looks like a promising ICO, but it can also be any other Internet project. Authors of SCAM projects especially favor cryptocurrencies because this sector is underregulated and has few users who know the topic well and want to make profit.

Save on fees with SIGEN.pro
 
Different crypto exchanges charge different fees on transactions, deposit, and withdrawals. Most often the fees are pretty high. Is there a way to avoid high fees? Yes.
 
Fees are a headache for traders and investors.
 
When trading in crypto exchanges, the thing traders and investors complain about most is high fees. A fee is in the amount of some percentage of each transaction. Moreover, in some crypto exchanges only buyers are charged with a fee whereas in others both buyers and sellers have to pay a percentage.
 
A crypto exchange can also charge different fees on withdrawal to different payment systems.  Sometimes, with the help of the amount of a fees, crypto exchanges give preference to a particular cryptocurrency. In other words, most of cryptocurrency exchanges use fees as a great possibility to manipulate users' behavior and make money on it. However, not all exchanges stick to this policy.
 
SIGEN.pro has no fees charged for cryptocurrency deposits/withdrawals while the transaction fee is just 0.1%.
 
The SIGEN.pro platform doesn't use fees as a means of pressure on traders. It has the lowest possible fees.

• No fees are applied to cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals
• The fee for a transaction on P2P platform and exchange is charged both for the buyer and the seller, and equals to 0.1% from each party.

 
 
These conditions are attractive for all traders but they are most favorable for newbies who due to high fees on other platforms, can't make a big profit.
 
Low transaction fees and no fees applied to deposit and withdrawal allow traders including those trading with a small amount to trade with no losses. We follow this policy as we intend to make cryptocurrencies available for anyone.
 
Use the SIGEN.pro platform and take advantage of the lowest possible fees.

Learning Trading From Scratch
 
Can you learn how to trade if you're really out of subject? The answer is “yes”. Here's a more complicated question: how do you learn how to trade from scratch and do it the right way to get a good result?
 
Courses
 
Courses for traders are a fairly popular method of learning. You just need to select the right course without reservations. Finding a course by a really wealthy and successful trader is complicated since a pro would hardly share their knowledge — they have no time to do it, and they don't want more competitors.
 
However, there're courses by well-informed traders who operate in smaller amounts. These could be a good way to learn basics of trading and use of exchange tools.
 
Online webinars
 
Some traders, sometimes successful, can arrange webinars for newbies. They can be really useful to learn basics of trading — talking to a professional is good for a novice trader in itself. A guru might give you a few tips on how to avoid mistakes when trading on your own.
 
Self-education
 
Most traders learn how to trade independently: using books, articles and online video tutorials. It's best to start by studying the easy-to-understand and popular sources of knowledge.
 
Specialized resources for traders — forums or exchange chats — may become an invaluable source of knowledge. Naturally, novices are often sneered at on such resources, but most successful traders have walked this path having gained a lot in return. Feel free to ask questions. It may seem weird, but traders who refuse to share their knowledge for a price often do it for free while chatting on forums.

Tim Draper: Bitcoin is So Much Bigger Than the Industrial Revolution
 
Millionaire, venture capital investor and blockchain enthusiast Tim Draper knows the Internet, money and cryptocurrency inside out. It's worth listening to what he has to say about what Bitcoin is all about.
 
Draper know what to invest in
 
Tim Draper and Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne held a discussion with Bitcoin opponents in a TV show in New York. Tim Draper claimed that Bitcoin was “bigger than the Iron Age or the Renaissance. It's bigger than the Industrial Revolution”.
 
In other words, the millionaire put Bitcoin before the epoch when humans discovered iron, before the Renaissance after the Dark Ages, even before the Industrial Revolution that rocked the world in the XIX c. It's a serious statement, but the millionaire has no second thoughts since his own experience in investing in Tesla, Hotmail and Skype projects allows him to make this conclusion.
 
At least, it's obvious Draper know very well what to invest in. All of the above three projects were a success.
 
Future lies in cryptocurrencies
 
When talking about investing in Tesla, Hotmail and Skype, Draper said Bitcoin was going to be bigger than these three projects combined. In his view, the Bitcoin technology has a potential that by far exceeds the scale of major technological advances in the human history.
 
In real life, at the mundane level, it's going to look like this: “In five years from now, when you try to buy a cup of coffee for fiat money, you'll be laughed at because you're not using cryptocurrency”. This is a prediction Draper has voiced on multiple occasions.
 
He also believes there will be a point when no one will want to own conventional currencies — everyone will prefer cryptocurrencies. Moreover, Bitcoin will cost 250,000 dollars. It's also been forecast by Draper. It's just a matter of time now.

Accumulating and Distributing: a Thing or Two About the Accumulation/Distribution Indicator

The Accumulation/Distribution indicator (AD) was first described by L. Williams in 1972 in his book “How I Made One Million Dollars”. Let's talk about it in a little more detail.

AD

Accumulation/Distribution is a volume-based indicator accounting for the general trend, volume of trading as well as the opening/closing prices and low/high prices. On the plus side, this indicator is synced with the price rather than based on calculating an average value. AD is primarily a trend indicator that both adequately determines the price at the observed point in time and is a useful tool for making forecasts. If selected, this indicator is usually displayed below the main chart of security price movement.

Interpreting AD

There's a mathematical formula that helps interpret this indicator. However, most traders confine themselves to the visual observation since the Accumulation/Distribution indicator is sufficiently insightful in itself.

The indicator shows that the nearer the closing price is to the high or low price, the bigger share is obtained by the bulls (traders operating for a rise) or bears (traders operating for a fall).

Accordingly, if the indicator shows the price closing in a downtrend (the indicator value is less than zero), bears are dominating; if the price closes in an uptrend (the indicator value if greater than zero), bulls are dominating. On other words, the market is owned by the former or the latter.

Moreover, if the trend updates the extreme value (maximum or minimum) while AD does not reproduce this update, it may mean the trend is about to reverse.

As we can see, the Accumulation / Distribution indicator may be the key indicator for selecting the trading strategy on the cryptomarket.

What is a Softfork for Cryptocurrency?

A softfork aims to improve the existing cryptocurrency network. It happens without users noticing the very moment of interference — they just take its consequences for granted.

Incomplete update

A softfork does not require a major interference with the cryptocurrency's master code, and all changes are backward-compatible. This is the main difference between a softfork and a hardfork, with the latter, roughly speaking, generating a new coin. A softfork happens within the existing network, and its objective is improving network operations without making significant changes.

It's a sort of regular software update we all have to make by uploading updated versions of old software, e. g. word processing or image editing apps. Old versions accumulate too many non-critical mistakes, or users request some improvements to be made. It leads to the need for an update; in case of cryptocurrency — for a softfork.

How it happens

In the Bitcoin network, a softfork happens as follows: the system is “rolled back” in time, and new blocks replace the old blocks while the chain of blocks remains unchanged. New blocks are identical to the old blocks in terms of structure. After the softfork, “old” blocks are validated along with the new blocks. All transactions before and after the softfork remain equivalent in value.

A softfork is usually administered by a team of developers after they discuss the idea with the user community. Since, however, cryptocurrency has an open source code, a useful change may be implemented by any user if they approach the community with an idea and the community approves of it.

The most well-known softfork in the Bitcoin network is SegWit that was successfully implemented without a hardfork.

Hidden Order: Why You Need It and How You Can Submit It

For certain reasons, some investors prefer to hide large-size orders submitted for trading. These orders are the so-called “hidden orders”.

A hidden order allows the trader not to display the real number of buy / sell transactions for large amounts of cryptocurrency. This order is not displayed in the order book.

Creating a hidden order on Sige[Suspicious link removed]o

On the Sige[Suspicious link removed]o cryptocurrency exchange, you can create a hidden order whenever you fill up the “Buy” or “Sell” request. You can just tick the relevant checkbox, and the market players will not see your order.

According to research, hidden orders are a manifestation of growing trading activity on the market.

Finding a hidden order

Observant traders may notice the exchange has a hidden order out there. If you can see a certain number of buy or sell requests, but you can actually buy or sell more at the indicated price, it means a hidden order has been activated.

Moreover, the total volume of the order book will be larger than the amount of all visible orders. Finding hidden orders may be useful to amend the forecast for the cryptocurrency exchange.

Jaxx Wallet: What It Is and How It Works

The Jaxx wallet is seen as one of the most popular wallets among cryptocurrency users.  This wallet is used for “cold” storage of coins; it has a mobile, web-based and desktop versions (the latter is a portable version you can store on and launch from a USB drive). It has no particularly unique features that would make it stand out among other wallets. Let's have a closer look at it.

Security

Many users think that Jaxx is one of the leading wallets in terms of security. Its set of features allows you to make backups and restore wallets on other devices, use the payment PIN code feature and obtain a private key.

What it can do
 - Jaxx is integrated with the ShapeShift cryptocurrency exchange allowing users to exchange coins within the wallet, even though for a fee.
 - You can use Jaxx to store BTC and ETH or some new coins growing in popularity. In total, it supports several dozens of coins.
 - The wallet can be used with Windows, Linux, OS X, Android and iOS. Additionally, you can set up the Jaxx extension by Google Chrome for your browser. You can also synchronize all wallet types on various devices.

How it works

You're recommended to download the Jaxx installation file via the official web-site jaxx.io. Select the suitable version of the program, download the installation file and install the wallet. In the process, you will be prompted to accept the Terms of Use.

You're recommended to select the coins you're confident you will use — don't overload the wallet.

Naturally, the most important recommendation is making a backup copy and saving the secret phrase which includes 12 words for this wallet.

What is a “Short” and a “Long”?

The terms “long position (a long)” and “short position (a short)” are key concepts for the stock exchange. Despite what their names suggest, these fundamental trading strategies have no connection with the transaction duration.

Long Position (or Long)

A long (or long position) is the main method of trading wherein a trader expects the asset to rise in value over short or long term. In other words, the trader buys cryptocurrency “in the hope of growth”. This is what “bullish” traders do. Traders who go long on cryptocurrencies virtually shoulder the entire market preventing cryptocurrencies from falling in price too much.

Short Position (or Short)

A trader who “goes short”, i. e. enters into a short position, sells cryptocurrency with the expectation that it will fall in value.

Short positions allow the trader to make profit when cryptocurrencies become cheaper. In this case the trader borrows tokens or buys them on credit. They sell the tokens at the current price during a downturn and buy them back at a lower price in order to cover their debts. Traders who choose this strategy are “bearish”.

Experienced traders can make profit on both long and short positions. However, most of them will only opt for one option rather than use both. Please note that long positions are much more favorable for the growth of the cryptocurrency market.

The dollar is used for illicit trade far more often than cryptocurrencies

Governments and central banks of many countries have repeatedly accused bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies of complicity in illicit trade and money laundering. They say that bitcoin is used to finance terrorists, sell weapons and drugs, etc.

We disagree with this view. To justify our position, we would like to cite the recent statement by the US Treasury Department, which personally refuted this torrent of negativity. The agency's representatives directly stated that fiat money, especially the dollar, is used for criminal purposes far more than bitcoin.

Criminals prefer fiat money

So, no matter what people say, officials indicate that criminals prefer dollars. Moreover, most trade happens through banks and various payment services that position themselves as law-abiding businesses.

According to the UN, illicit trade brings criminals an annual income of about $2 trillion. By comparison, cryptocurrency-based revenues from such activities are a drop in the bucket.

This statement by the US Treasury is an excellent response to all cryptocurrency detractors, who occasionally call for banning bitcoin because it is frequently used by criminals for illicit trade. Logically, the dollar should also be banned, since it is used for these purposes much more often. But nobody is demanding this.

This statement can also be regarded as a positive signal for cryptocurrencies' further development and legalization.

What is a Node in a Cryptocurrency Network?

A node is, in essence, any computer connected to the blockchain network and using the P2P protocol. Nodes use this protocol to communicate with each other distributing information about transactions and blocks across the network. Strictly speaking, nodes are the key component of the blockchain network.

Nodes may be lightweight and full

A full node is any computer that is fully synced with the blockchain network. Each full node has a copy of all blockchain data — starting from the genesis block and ending with the last generated block — on its hard drive. After each new block is created, information is updated, i. e. it's always up-to-date.

A light node is also fully synced with the network, but it does not store all the information from the blockchain on its hard drive — it only services the network. Most nodes in the network are lightweight; however, full nodes form the backbone of the network.

What are nodes for?

All nodes support network operations: they automatically validate transactions and generate new blocks while protecting the network from fraudulent activities. In many networks, node owners (miners) are rewarded with new coins that are generated with new blocks.

Using Exchange on SIGEN.pro Platform

The SIGEN.pro platform has its own cryptocurrency exchange with easy-to-use and convenient functionalities. You can use it to make profit on price fluctuations. Buy cryptocurrencies at one price and sell them at another price to make money.

How do I start trading?

First of all, fill up your exchange account. To do this:

- Click the profile icon in the upper right corner of the page to open the menu. In the Deposit/Withdrawal section, select the line with the appropriate cryptocurrency wallet and click it to see your one-time address to deposit funds (the address will automatically change after each deposit).
- Transfer funds to the indicated address and wait for the proper validation of the transaction in the blockchain for the transfer to be deposited on your account.

After the transfer is completed, you can start trading on the exchange. Navigate to the Exchange section and create an order with the terms you want. To do this:

- Select the cryptocurrency pair of your choice in the upper right corner of the page.
- Create a buy or sell order. Click the amount next to the Available label, and the system will automatically make a calculation for the entire amount based on the current market price.

Please note: you can buy/sell cryptocurrency instantaneously if the Buy orders and Sell orders columns already include orders that comply with your terms. If currently there's no match, your order will need some time to work — you'll need to wait for other exchange users to respond.
 
An order may require one or multiple transactions to work, depending on the market demand. After each transaction, the appropriate amount will be displayed on your balance.
 
As you can see, using the SIGEN.pro exchange is really easy, and your profit may be quite large since cryptocurrencies are very volatile, and their price may change by hundreds of percent in a single day. All you need to do is understand how the exchange works and start trading.

Save on fees with SIGEN.pro

Different crypto exchanges charge different fees on transactions, deposit, and withdrawals. Most often the fees are pretty high. Is there a way to avoid high fees? Yes.

Fees are a headache for traders and investors.

When trading in crypto exchanges, the thing traders and investors complain about most is high fees. A fee is in the amount of some percentage of each transaction. Moreover, in some crypto exchanges only buyers are charged with a fee whereas in others both buyers and sellers have to pay a percentage.

A crypto exchange can also charge different fees on withdrawal to different payment systems.  Sometimes, with the help of the amount of a fees, crypto exchanges give preference to a particular cryptocurrency. In other words, most of cryptocurrency exchanges use fees as a great possibility to manipulate users' behavior and make money on it. However, not all exchanges stick to this policy.

SIGEN.pro has no fees charged for cryptocurrency deposits/withdrawals while the transaction fee is just 0.1%.

The SIGEN.pro platform doesn't use fees as a means of pressure on traders. It has the lowest possible fees.

- No fees are applied to cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals
- The fee for a transaction on P2P platform and exchange is charged both for the buyer and the seller, and equals to 0.1% from each party.

These conditions are attractive for all traders but they are most favorable for newbies who due to high fees on other platforms, can't make a big profit.

Low transaction fees and no fees applied to deposit and withdrawal allow traders including those trading with a small amount to trade with no losses. We follow this policy as we intend to make cryptocurrencies available for anyone.

Analysis of News Context for the Crypto Market

The crypto market is strongly dependent on the news. Traders — both bulls and bears that are basically in a real “war” — benefit from it. The “warfare” is also joined in by manipulators and conmen who try to make a stir and make money from random actions by traders.

Implications of the news context

The price of conventional assets, such as company shares, is based on capitalization, financial statements, and observable factors available for analysis. However, it's still unclear what the cryptocurrency market responds to as this market is very young, and a lot of factors remain to be identified and described.

At the same time, most traders acknowledge that news have a strong impact on the crypto market. Both bulls and bears leverage the news context to shift the cryptocurrency price in their favor. They arrange publications with a negative or positive market assessment or actively support the published articles in the mass media. The conventional asset market would view this behavior as a manipulation attempt that would possibly be punishable, but the cryptocurrency market is still underregulated.

Conmen also contribute to the news context, but more often they try to make a stir around a lesser known coin that is allegedly unique and about to “score a big win”, with its price rising and all those who have been able to buy it making profit. This is the so-called “pump hyping”. The new “promising” coin scores no “big wins” while the investors pay into the pockets of the conmen with real-value coins.

How news should be analyzed

To analyze the news context, select a few reliable sources that have been publishing news regularly, seamlessly and for a long time, at least a few years. There are web-sites that aggregate news from hundreds of sources, but you would have to prioritize them on your own.

A very useful source of news is the social networks and resources for experts.

However reliable a source is, you have to check each piece of news against multiple sources, especially if it's hyped-up news. No editions or specialized resources, not even the most reliable ones, are insured against fake news.

Below is a list of information types that could affect the price of cryptocurrencies:

- Any changes in legislation related to cryptocurrencies, ICO and blockchain. News about the coin being listed by a well-known crypto exchange.
- News about the coin partnering with a big player at the conventional market, such as a bank or a big corporation in the real sector.
 News about a top-class specialist from the real sector joining the team.
- Significant progress in developing the coin: release of new important software, a new stage in the development process, etc.

However, experience has proven that it's impossible to precisely tell that a particular piece of news is going to affect the market and how it's going to affect it. You just need to remain vigilant.

Cryptocurrency Trading: Where to Start

Investing in cryptocurrencies attracts more and more people, as does cryptocurrency trading. However, before entering the cryptocurrency market, one should do certain things to create a solid base for further success.

Sources of knowledge

First, you need to try and find out as much as possible about the blockchain, cryptocurrency, crypto market — study all materials you possibly can. But don't delve too deeply into the technical details and blockchain history — focus on the financial aspect instead. You can find abundant information on YouTube, Telegram channels, etc. 

Storage for money

When working on the crypto market, you must select a storage for your coins. Historically, cryptocurrency exchanges are not a safe place for storage — they're prone to technical glitches, hackers carry out successful attacks on them, exchange management can even change the rules at their discretion. This is why a more reliable option is a wallet or multiple wallets on computers that must also be copied to the external media. You should, however, retain some money on the exchange — just in case you will need to rapidly react to leaps prices.

Market gurus

The key and most influential news of the cryptocurrency market originate with cryptocurrency founders, advanced crypto enthusiasts with multi-million income and successful crypto investors. Among others, they include Charlie Lee, Vitalik Buterin, Roger Veer and about 10 more names. You should follow them in the social media.

Colleagues

You should also join chats of cryptocurrency traders. Here you can find practical knowledge about trading and consult experts avoiding mistakes. But don't trust all of them blindly. First of all, trust what you've learned yourself.

Cool head and iron nerves

One of the first rules to be adopted by a fledgling cryptocurrency trader is avoiding to trade on an impulse. In other words, don't give in to excitement or panic. Learn to play cool from the very beginning, stay reasonable casting aside greed and fear.

Trading Volume as a Trader's Basic Tool

The trading volume indicator reflects the number of cryptocurrency transactions over a period of time, i. e. whether traders are interested or not in a coin. Let's review this indicator in more detail:

Volume and price

Volume is a basic cryptocurrency trading indicator that can be used to make decisions regarding investment and trading. It allows you to forecast price movements fairly accurately. It's because, surprisingly enough, it's not the price that dictates the volume; rather, it's the cryptocurrency market volume that determines the cryptocurrency price.

It's easy to prove. You can just have a look at the share of Bitcoin on the crypto market and at its price in comparison to other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin price hike is made possible by a huge market volume. Volume always comes first, ahead of price. Volume indicators are the first to change followed by price. Accordingly, when a cryptocurrency falls away in traders' interest, volume shrinks first followed by a decrease in price.

Price patterns

Trading volume may be used to analyze price patterns based on the established dependency between volume and price. With any price pattern, volume growth must be followed by cryptocurrency price growth. Additionally, you must pay attention to the stability of support and resistance lines. A stable support line shows that the volume is high.

Moreover, it's important to analyze volume movements both vertically — based on the current volume — and horizontally which allows you to assess trend stability over time.

Dear users!

There are now many programs on the Internet that allow you to take a fake screenshot with a bank transfer confirmation. Fraudsters actively use this, operating on various p2p platforms and other services based on direct user interaction with each other.

In this regard, we once again remind you of the main rule of safe transactions on the p2p platform:


Never confirm a transaction until you are personally convinced of the receipt of money on your card. A screenshot of the transfer of funds should not serve as a sufficient basis for confirming the transaction. Always check the receipt of funds yourself!

Be careful not to fall for the bait of intruders.

Best regards, SIGEN pro team!

Bip (Minter Network) coin is already in the Sige[Suspicious link removed]o mobile application!

Friends, the day before yesterday we listed the BIP (Minter Network) cryptocurrency on our trading platform. And today we have successfully added it to the SIGE[Suspicious link removed]o mobile application!

In the mobile application, transactions with BIP are implemented both on the exchange and on p2p. The application supports the full functionality of the platform (excluding the exchanger).

In addition to the BIP listing, several innovations have been made to the mobile application, which migrated from the updated web version:

- Added the ability to select a commission when withdrawing BTC.
- Implemented the «Change BTC» function when withdrawing, so that the system automatically returns unspent coins to your balance;
We also fixed minor bugs and optimized the system even better.

Thank you for your understanding and we hope that this will not happen again

What is FREE TON and why is it so promising?

The Free TON project and its TON Crystal coin (abbr - TON) are based on the Telegram Open Network code, which was developed by the ingenious programmer Nikolai Durov (Pavel Durov's brother and one of the founders of VKontakte) and the Telegram team.

And although Pavel Durov was unable to launch the project because of the SEC, the developers and the community launched it themselves based on open source. Telegram Open Network was developed by the best Telegram programmers. Blockchain has many advantages over other decentralized protocols and tremendous prospects. He is able to change the world!

Beware of Fraudsters!

Attention, dear users! We are informed about a fraudulent scheme: criminals, hiding behind the support of SIGEN.pro, lure access to accounts from users.

According to our information, scammers write to users in telegram under various pretexts. For example, they report that there is no registration in the MEGA-DRAW from UMI and the ROY Club and they allegedly demand to subscribe to SIGEN.pro. But in fact, they offer gullible users to forward all letters to someone else's address, as a result of which they gain access to accounts.

Never and in any case, do not include forwarding letters from your mail. Our site will never ask you for this.

Additionally, we recommend connecting Google Authenticator in the security settings. This will significantly reduce the risk of account theft, even if fraudsters get some of your data.

Also, pay attention to the site's domain. sigen.support - scam domain.

We ask you to be careful!

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

[SIGEN]

Attention!

We officially declare that the domain sigen.support has nothing to do with SIGEN.pro. If they write to you from the mail admin@sigen.support, ask to follow the link or use this domain in any other way - these are scammers!

Please note that SIGEN.pro will never ask you to set up mail forwarding. If you see the word "forwarding" and requests to set up "forwarding" from unknown persons - these are scammers!

Be careful!

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

[SIGEN]

Good news! Innovations! SIGEN is developing!

- In P2P Trading for UMI, the ability to create only one buy / sell offer was returned,
- In P2P Trading, when making a deal and paying in cash, the maximum payment time is set to 24 hours,
- Added a window with information about additional account protection (when entering funds and switching to the wallet),
- Added New Year theme for landing and Marketplace,
- Optimized loading of the Frontend part of the landing page,
- Added input validation in the field for adding a new contact to your profile,
- Added sending a message in the transaction chat by pressing Enter, by pressing Crtl + Enter - line break,

Thanks for attention!

Important! New chatbot with notifications!

Dear users, we have made a number of important changes and updates to the chatbot with notifications. This was impossible to implement on the basis of the old chatbot, so a new one was created - @SigenNotifyBot.

The p2p trading platform supports transactions using bank transfers and electronic payment systems. Average transaction time is only 15 minutes.

See for yourself how easy and simple it is!

Massive update of Media.SIGEN.pro!

We have successfully carried out a large-scale update of the media portal and implemented a lot of cool features!

We integrated a completely new design developed from scratch. The site has become more modern, prettier, neater, and most importantly - much more convenient.
Both dark and light themes have been successfully implemented in both desktop and mobile versions.

We moved to a new engine and laid out the site from scratch. Now it loads several times faster, it has become much more comfortable to use, and from a technical point of view, it has become much more functional.

We added to the website and Telegram bot the ability to follow not only the current exchange rate of BTC, ETH, UMI, but also their dynamics over the last 24 hours.

We added the ability to read new articles directly in the Telegram channel through Instant View - without having to go to the site.

Use it with pleasure!

Updated website: https://media.sigen.pro/

IPhone and iPad owners need an urgent update to iOS and iPadOS

Apple discovered security issues that affected, among other things, cryptocurrency wallets. Hackers were reportedly able to remotely access devices and steal cryptocurrency.

Coinbase tech lead Pete Kim was the first to point out the problem. He urged everyone to urgently update the software on the iPhone and iPad to the latest versions - iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4.

Apple admitted that the vulnerability could be actively exploited. However, the company does not disclose all technical details, so the real degree of risk can only be guessed at.

IMPORTANT: How to avoid blocking for cryptocurrency transactions?

Since January 30, the law prohibits banks in Russia from blocking customer accounts without explanation. However, even this, at first glance, positive news has its own nuances.

If the bank considers that it is being used for money laundering or terrorist financing, it will be suspended, and the client will have to prove the origin of the funds. Such operations with cryptocurrencies, even despite their legal status. And if the client does not provide the necessary documents, then his account may be blocked.

In our fresh material, we have collected the most complete information on the legal status of cryptocurrencies and tokens in Russia. We also prepared for you step-by-step instructions on how to avoid blocking and what to do if it does happen.

We advise you to keep this post:

Important update: checking coins for theft!

Dear users, from today on SIGEN.pro we are introducing a tracking system for stolen coins.

Our platform guarantees the safety of buying coins on the exchange, p2p platform and in the automatic exchanger. For those who buy coins in the SIGEN.pro ecosystem, nothing will change.

But if you buy coins elsewhere, the transactions will be checked for theft. If the system determines that the coins were mined dishonestly, they will be returned to the user who suffered from fraudsters.

Therefore, we recommend refusing dubious deals:

- In telegram chats — no one guarantees that the chat is not fraudulent
- «Guarantors» outside SIGEN.pro — under the guise of «guarantors» can hide fraudsters
- Friends — their accounts can be hacked or faked by scammers

Buying coins outside of SIGEN.pro you do it at your own peril and risk. If they turn out to be stolen, you will be left without money (which went to the thief) and without coins.

Be careful not to risk your funds.

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

Grouping transactions: I / O just got faster and more profitable

Dear users! We continue to work to improve our platform, making it even more convenient and profitable for you. Today we have successfully implemented a very important new function.

What we did:

- Added grouping of transactions for BTC and LTC. To put it as simply as possible: now input and output transactions from different users are grouped together into one block, and then sent to the network as one large transaction.

- As a result, we have reworked the very principle of input / output: now user transactions do not stand in the queue, waiting for confirmation one after another. They are sent to the network and confirmed at the same time, since they all fall into one block together.

What does this mean specifically for you:

- BTC and LTC coins will be withdrawn much faster.
- Entering coins (displaying cryptocurrencies on the balance) will also speed up.

The grouping of transactions is done automatically. You don't have to do anything.

We are sure that you will like the new feature. You can try it right now - everything is already working like clockwork. Enjoy your use!

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

Banks vs Bitcoin

A couple of years ago, the world's largest banks predicted an imminent death for bitcoin.

The head of JPMorgan believed that bitcoin was a scam, analysts at Citibank called it a bubble, and at Goldman Sachs last year they convinced clients not to invest in the first cryptocurrency.

Similar opinions were voiced at VTB, Otkritie Bank and by the head of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina. However, in 2021 the situation changed radically, including in Russia.

Read on in our latest post on how the banking sector went from hate to Bitcoin adoption and what was the catalyst for this revaluation.

SIGEN.pro update

Dear users, we have completed the technical work and updated SIGEN.pro.

Changes include:
- Adding the WBTC token to the exchange, in pairs with BTC and ETH.
- Adding the WBTC token to the mobile application.
- Optimization of the platform and mobile application.

IMPORTANT! Don't forget to update your mobile app. New functionality will not appear without an update! The update is already available on Android, and will appear on iOS a little later.

WBTC is an ERC-20 token, which is the tokenized version of BTC on the Ethereum blockchain. It aims to solve BTC problems by transferring it to the Ethereum blockchain. It has a high transaction speed, it supports smart contracts and decentralized applications.

Moreover, each WBTC is backed by real BTC, in the equivalent of 1: 1. Thanks to this, the price of the token is the same as that of BTC - the smart contract guarantees the identity of the price, tracking it in real time.

By purchasing WBTC at SIGEN.pro, you can expand the possibilities for working with cryptocurrencies. For example, the token can be used in DeFi projects and other platforms on the Ethereum blockchain.

We hope you enjoy the innovations, and we continue to work on the platform further to make it even more interesting and functional.

Dear users!

We are glad to inform you about important changes in the functionality of the p2p platform SIGEN.pro.

From this moment, when canceling the offer, you can create it again only after an hour.
In addition, it is now impossible to edit offers and create unlimited ones.
All three changes apply only to the UMI cryptocurrency!

These changes were introduced in order to avoid manipulation of trading by unscrupulous users.
If you trade honestly, you will see little or no change.

And we continue to work to make the SIGEN.pro platform more convenient and transparent.
Stay tuned for news and new changes.

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

Dear users!

Due to malfunctions in Amazon services, pictures in arbitrage deals on p2p are temporarily not displayed.

We expect the issue to be resolved within 24 hours. At the moment, we recommend that you conduct transactions only with trusted counterparties in order to minimize the likelihood of arbitrage.

If your trade gets into arbitration, be patient, the decision on the deal will be made later.

Thanks for understanding!

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

[SIGEN]

- Now you can add user offers to someone else's profile, all except hidden ones;
- Indexed p2p rules for search engines;
- P2P:
- Chat of the deal. The number of characters remaining is displayed;
- Fixed loader in modal windows;
- Fixed links to cryptocurrencies in the "System Status" which led to articles in the FAQ that did not correspond to the selected cryptocurrency;

Dear users.

For your convenience, we partially remove the 1 hour limit for creating offers on a p2p site.

However, the restriction will only be lifted for verified users who:

- Registered more than 30 days ago

Thus, honest users who have been trading on SIGEN.pro for a long time will find it more convenient to use the p2p platform.
At the same time, users with a bad reputation and newly registered accounts will not be able to manipulate trades.

We hope the innovation will make your work at SIGEN.pro easier and more enjoyable!

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

How not to fall for the bait of crypto scammers?

According to Kaspersky Lab, in the first half of 2021, phishing became one of the most widespread types of crypto scams.
Phishing means that the attacker in one way or another obtains confidential data, and with it access to the victim's coins.

To implement this attack, scammers use all sorts of schemes - from fake crypto exchange sites to hacking the accounts of celebrities and ordinary crypto users.

What scams are especially popular on the crypto market today?
And the main question is how to avoid them? Read detailed information about this in our guide.

The technical work has been completed.

Dear users, the technical work on the site has been completed.

Changes include:
- A new UMI node is connected
- Performance improvements and optimizations

Thank you for choosing SIGEN.pro!

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

New node launched: UMI throughput - 65,535 transactions per second!

While developing UMI, we immediately set ourselves the goal of creating a network capable of quickly processing a huge volume of transactions and fully competing with the existing VISA and Mastercard payment systems. And today we were able not only to catch up with these giants, but also confidently overtake them by as much as 2.5 times (VISA is capable of processing at its peak no more than 24,000 transactions per second).

Let me tell you one secret: the UMI blockchain was technically capable of processing 65,535 transactions per second from the very first day of launch. But we artificially limited the bandwidth, because it was not necessary and to protect against unnecessary load on the network.

And even now, despite the constantly growing number of transactions on the network, there is still no special need for such a high bandwidth (the network is still successfully handling the load). However, after about a year of optimization - as a way to reach a new level and demonstrate the capabilities of the network, we developed a new node and thereby restarted the master nodes in maximum performance mode, and also generated and sent several hundred thousand transactions to the network.

Several consecutive blocks completely filled with transactions clearly show the capabilities of the UMI network and confirm the declared characteristics.

Thus, right now the UMI network is capable of processing exactly 65,535 transactions per second - more than VISA and Mastercard (no longer in the test network, but in the main network). And all this - without harm to the environment.

To successfully demonstrate the throughput, we sent 2 transactions of 0.02 UMI to all existing addresses with a non-zero balance (symbolic in connection with the release of the second version node). There were 371,329 addresses and 742,658 transactions in total. Thanks to this, 10 completely filled blocks of 65,535 transactions were formed. The UMI network processed all transfers in 10 seconds, that is, each block in 1 second.

Thus, UMI has become the fastest cryptocurrency network in the world, which actually proved its high throughput not in the test, but in the main network. In practice, we are faster than Solana, Cardano, Free TON and everyone else.

The new node also opens the way for high-quality, convenient and fast implementation of new products based on UMI, such as products from the DeFi ecosystem (tokens, stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, etc.), new smart contracts, a coin burning mechanism, games using UMI, and etc.

And one more important point: thanks to the move to a new node, the UMI blockchain has become 6 times lighter. This will allow the network not only to continue to actively develop and scale, but also not to create an unnecessary load on the masternodes and validator nodes.

The new node code has been successfully uploaded to Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/umitop/umid.

Dear users!

At the moment, for a UMI coin on a p2p site, the minimum amount for creating an offer is set at 200 UMI.

If you need to buy or sell less than 200 coins, make a transaction on the exchange.

Since we receive a large number of requests and requests, one way or another related to the withdrawal of PRIZM.
We decided to extend the withdrawal option and temporarily postponed the complete delisting of the cryptocurrency.

At the same time, we removed the display of PRIZM in the interface of the trading platform for all users who have less than 1 PZM PRIZM on their balance.

Hurry up to withdraw PRIZM, as after a complete delisting, all non-withdrawn coins will be irretrievably lost.

Dear users!

On Monday, November 29th, we will transfer all UMI coins from your structured addresses to your trade balances.

Since UMI staking was stopped by the community, there is no longer any need to use structured addresses.
In fact, nothing will change for you. You will be able to use your UMIs without any restrictions.

Accordingly, the column in the wallet with structural addresses will also be removed.
You can view all transactions in the transaction history and verify with the blockchain if necessary.

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

[SIGEN]

Dear users!

We have successfully updated the SIGEN.pro platform and made a number of changes:

- Added GLIZE wallets. Trading in the new token in the GLZ / UMI pair will be open on Wednesday, December 1.
- UMI coins have started to successfully migrate from your structured addresses to your trade balances. This process can take up to 24 hours.
- Replenishment of UMI structured addresses is closed to prevent users from replenishing them by mistake. Also, the UMI pins to structural addresses are closed.
- The exchanger has been removed from the platform due to its low popularity. You can buy or sell cryptocurrency without any problems on p2p or on an exchange.
- Optimized platform performance.

We hope you enjoy the changes and innovations. And we will remind you of the opening of trading in the GLZ / UMI pair on Wednesday, so stay tuned.

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

[SIGEN]

Dear users!

At the moment, there are still small delays in the input and output of the UMI and GLIZE.
All frozen transactions have been processed at the moment, you can check them in your wallet.

On average, I / O times are up to 60 minutes.
So if you didn’t receive the cryptocurrency right away, don’t worry, you need to wait a bit.

This is due to the fact that automatic transactions to transfer UMI from structured wallets to trading ones continue.
This process places a heavy load on the SIGEN.pro databases.

When all automatic transactions are completed, the system will work again in its usual fast mode.
We need a little more time. The end of automatic transfers will happen within 48 hours.

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

[SIGEN]

Dear users!

We are pleased to inform you that automatic transactions of UMI transfers from structured to trading wallets are completed.
All balances are successfully transferred.

After that, the load on the databases of SIGEN.pro decreased, and now the system is working in normal mode.
All pending transactions are processed, and new UMI and GLIZE inputs/outputs are performed without any delays.

Thank you for your understanding

Dear users!

There were some delays with BTC payments to the addresses created before January 1, 2021.

At the moment the issue has been successfully resolved:
- All hanging BTC were added to balances.
- At the same time we left only new BTC-addresses in wallets — created after January 1, 2021.
- And old addresses were removed from users' wallets due to their incompatibility with the new node.

For your further BTC deposits use only your addresses created after January 1, 2021 or generate new ones.
And then coins will be added promptly and without delays.

Best regards, SIGEN.pro team!

[SIGEN]

Dear users!

After Free TON transformed to Everscale, the old addresses are no longer relevant.
You will need to create a new address in your wallet in order to deposit and withdraw EVER.

Do not use your old addresses for incoming transactions.
The current balance will automatically be transfered to the new address and will not go anywhere.

Long-term investors continue to hold BTC

Glassnode data shows that despite price volatility, more than 60.61% of the total supply of BTC did not leave their addresses for a year or more.

Only twice in history has the indicator reached this level - in early 2016 and in mid-2020.
In both cases, then there was a consolidation, which then led to a powerful bullish movement.

Ripple's chances of winning in court against the SEC have increased significantly.

The SEC case against Ripple has reached a new level after the disclosure of documents that support the crypto company's argument: XRP is not a security.

Recall that at the end of 2020, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against the Ripple crypto company,
as well as its founder and CEO, for the sale of unregistered securities in the form of XRP in the amount of more than $ 1.3 billion.

Ripple considers these accusations unfounded and politically motivated.
It seems that the disclosure of new documents will help the company defend its position in court.

Digital real estate market

According to experts, the real estate market in virtual worlds and the metaverse can reach $1 billion this year.

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta (formerly Facebook) is largely responsible for the boom in this sector of the crypto industry,

Against this background, virtual real estate — land, buildings, and even entire districts — have grown in price by tens and hundreds of times.

How does the digital real estate market work? What are the risks of investing in it?

Long awaited USDT listing

You asked - we did! In light of the growing interest in the stablecoin market, we have decided to add support for the most popular and most liquid stable asset, Tether (USDT).

We have been planning the addition of USDT for a long time.
We had everything ready, except for some legal nuances.
Now, finally, we have managed to settle all the legal issues necessary for the listing of a stablecoin.
We also want to note that the GLIZE token team recently approached us with a proposal to list USDT in pair with the GLZ token.
As a result of the negotiations, we came to solutions that will undoubtedly please you:

USDT has been added to the SIGEN.pro exchange paired with GLZ (the asset with the highest trading volume).
USDT has also been added to the P2P platform SIGEN.pro.

This means that you can now buy or sell USDT with any fiat currency you want, as well as trade GLZ against USDT.
To implement this functionality, the corresponding update was activated this morning on SIGEN.pro. BEP-20 USDT (BNB Smart Chain Network) is already available in the wallet.
Along with this, we have also implemented a number of other technical improvements for more convenient and efficient trading on SIGEN.pro.

Start trading USDT — https://sigen.pro/

We, in turn, look at the dynamics of trading.
And if the asset is popular, then we will work on adding USDT in pairs to BTC, BNB and, possibly, other cryptocurrencies.

USDT has also been added to the mobile app:

Key principles of crypto-ideology

By launching the Bitcoin network, Satoshi Nakamoto also launched the most important revolution of the 21st century - the financial one.

However, the ideas that Satoshi put into the first cryptocurrency existed several decades before the appearance of the first bitcoin.
Among them: libertarianism, anarcho-capitalism, the "gold standard" and the Austrian School of Economics.
And without the cypherpunk movement, perhaps there would be no cryptocurrencies at all.

On the basis of what ideas does crypto-ideology develop?
And how has it changed in the last 13 years?

In particular, he analyzed the reasons behind the decoupling of UST from the US dollar and the fall of LUNA,
and also figured out in detail how this situation will affect the crypto market.

How will the increase in the interest rate in the US affect the crypto market?
What measures is the Terra team taking to resolve the critical situation?
And what are the project's chances of surviving this crisis?

Why did UST and LUNA crash?

UST, one of the largest stablecoins on the market, lost its peg to the US dollar on May 9 and fell to the current $0.14.

As a result, the LUNA cryptocurrency, which is backed by UST, collapsed by 99.97%.
The fall of such an important, primarily for the DeFi sector, asset became a catalyst for the decline of the entire crypto market and, possibly, launched a new crypto winter.

What happened to UST and LUNA? What does the Anchor protocol have to do with it?
What theories about the collapse of the Terra ecosystem have been put forward by the crypto community?
And how will the team save the project?
Look for answers to these questions in our today's analysis of the situation.
