En octobre 2017, le ministère de lÉconomie et des Finances avait (innocemment ?) répertorié Bitcoin dans sa liste des nouveaux moyens de paiement alternatifs (voir ici larchive). Quelques mois plus tard le paragraphe concernant Bitcoin était assorti dune longue recommandation de la Banque de France rappelant notamment que « le bitcoin nest pas une monnaie légale » et quil « présente peu ou pas dintérêt pour une utilisation par les acteurs économiques »

Zclassic is a fork of Zcash 1.0.1 with minimal changes except for 2 major things.
1. 20% Founders Reward is removed.
2. Slow start is removed (blocks start at 12.5 ZCL rewards per block).
Parameters:
PoW: Equihash
Halving rate: Every 4 years (same as Zcash and bitcoin).
Starting Block Reward: 12.5 coins every 2.5 minutes (Same as Zcash. 50 coins per 10 minutes, like Bitcoin).
Total eventual supply: 21,000,000 (21 million), as per Bitcoin (Unchanged from Zcash)
Difficulty adjustment algorithm: Digishield V3 (Unchanged from Zcash)
Difficulty adjusts each block (Unchanged from Zcash)
Symbol: ZCL (pronounced "ZICKLE" like "NICKEL")
Trusted Parameters
Zcash (and Zclassic) relies on trust that a private key was destroyed. If anyone poseses the private key, that person can mint unlimited coins for himself/herself. Zcash designed a ceremony where 6 individuals each created a shard of a private key and destroyed it. As long as all 6 individuals did not conspire and collude to share their shards, the private key is destroyed. Here are mre details about the ceremony.

Zclassic uses the exact same trusted parameters Zcash uses. This is also what Peter Todd suggests:

Note from developer:
I started this work on my own, writing Medium articles and reaching out to people on Twitter because I believe the ZK-SNARK technology in Zcash is the future of money, but I couldn't stomach the idea of it being taxed 20% by a small group of people.
To be honest, I never made an altcoin before. I spent a week on my own obsessing over the Zcash code to see what could be done. Soon after the Zcash launch, I submitted a pull-request to remove the Founder's Reward, which was quickly closed:
https://github.com/zcash/zcash/pull/1714
When I found out SuprnovaPools had 51%+ mining power of Zcash, I reached out to them to use my fork:
https://twitter.com/HeyRhett/status/792787816329515009
After failing at those two approaches, on Halloween, I announced, "I'm forking Zcash with no 20% Founders Reward. Ping me to help. There won't be any reward for helping."
https://twitter.com/HeyRhett/status/793201219393105921
I offer my sincere apology to the community for people who feel they may have missed the announcement because there wasn't enough advance notice. I was reaching out to people, but I did not have the large exposure of a foundation with investors.
Now that the coin is live, most of what you see above is work done by the community. This coin is almost 4 days old, and I'm amazed at what we've done so far.

go go Classic! 100$ is archievable, just need the btc reversal though
"Just" need the btc reversal though
I think that is the biggest problem of them all for now to see significant price gains for any coin.Once coinbase startes etc, expect the price to grow slowly
Already ETC is a top volume coin... no one says it, but etc has more volume than several other hype coins
Volume shows its potential
I don't know if it will happen as you say. A lot of those expectations are already priced in. People know it will be on Coinbase so they make their decisions in regards to the price right now and not on the day trading starts.
?Just hold ETC, today price is the bottom i think, and it can only go up from here. I have been watching ethereum classic for a while now and I believe it is a sleeping giant.
What makes you say something like "it can only go up from here"? There is a lot of room to go down also and we have seen that in the past 6 months.
I also think that we still in a downtrend and this everything went slithly up just becuase everything was oversold. I hope to be wrong of course but imo everything still bearish
Ethereum Classic is an open-sourced Blockchain-based platform that enables smart-contracts and has a Turing-complete programming language. Ethereum Classic came to existence after Ethereum hard fork that took place in 2016 after The DAO collapse.
The Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum Blockchain supported by the people who believed in the core principles of Ethereum like the immutability of Blockchain and code is law. They denied the necessity of a hard fork to fix the damage after someone exploited The DAO vulnerabilities.
As the original Ethereum, ETC provides smart-contracts and a development platform. It also provides the Emerald Software Developer Kit: a toolkit, unique to ETC, made for building DAPPS (decentralized applications). The ETC team aims to use its product in the Internet of Things to provide machine-to-machine communication.

Re: [ANN][ICO] ICON - Interchain Blockchain Network / Hyperconnect the World!
Icon price goes up very slowly and falls very quickly.. I am really not getting why is that coin so heavy and is unable to gain value.. I mean look at Ont you feel how swiftly the price rises.. Any clue why is this the case of Icon?
On the chart Wedge, I think that soon the price will go up sharply. If bitcoin does not fall, then the prospects for growth in the next month at ICON are very good.

e marché des monnaies virtuelles est très volatil et investir à laveuglette et le meilleur moyen de perdre votre capital en quelques heures. La règle numéro 1 pour investir dans les crypto-monnaies est la suivante : ne mettez pas tous vos ufs dans le même panier ! Comme cest le cas pour la finance traditionnelle, la diversification permet de limiter les risques et de construire un portefeuille profitable et durable. Voici nos conseils.
Déterminez vos besoins
Avant dinvestir dans dautres crypto-monnaies il est nécessaire de savoir si vous avez vraiment besoin de diversifier votre portefeuille. En effet si votre budget est de seulement 100 euros la diversification sera inutile : en raison des augmentations de valeur faibles, il nest pas judicieux de diluer une si petite somme entre plusieurs crypto-monnaies. Nous vous conseillons dopter pour la diversification pour un capital dau moins 500 euros
Choisissez le ratio de votre portefeuille
La plupart des portefeuilles sont distribués de la manière suivante : une catégorie à faible risque, une catégorie à risque moyen et une catégorie à haut risque. Si linvestissement dans chacune de ces catégories peut varier, les pourcentages sont généralement 50% / 30% / 20%
les actifs à risque modéré (Bitcoin Cash ou Litecoin)
Il est temps de vous intéresser à des actifs un peu plus risqués ! Nous vous conseillons de vous tourner vers des crypto-monnaies déjà répandues et dotées des plus grosses capitalisations pour 30% de votre portefeuille. On pense notamment au Bitcoin Cash et au Litecoin qui sont considérées comme des alternatives au Bitcoin. Dans le cas où le Bitcoin perd de sa valeur, vous réduirez votre exposition.

Re: [ANN] [ICO] FunFair.io - Disrupting Online Gaming - New Casino Platform
daprès lanalyse très poussée du PDG de lentreprise américaine Ripple, cette domination pourrait prochainement disparaître. Voici ce quil a en effet déclaré : « Il existe une très forte corrélation entre le prix du XRP et celui du Bitcoin. Il sagit pourtant de technologies open-source fondamentalement indépendantes. »
Lhomme est persuadé quon assiste en ce moment à lémergence dun marché bien plus rationnel. De ce fait, le comportement des investisseurs va durablement être modifié, ce qui va conduire à une dévalorisation du Bitcoin. Par conséquent, il ne servira plus de référence vis-à-vis des autres crypto-monnaies.

FunFair Announces Token Creation Event on June 22 for Worlds Fastest Blockchain Casino Platform
Watch a demo on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6O3ySQSBSY8
FunFair Set to Disrupt Global Casino Game Market with Pioneering Ethereum Fate Channels Technology
NEW YORK, NY June 15, 2017 Today FunFair, the worlds fastest Ethereum blockchain casino platform, announced its token creation event will begin on June 22, 2017 shortly after 10 am EDT: https://www.funfair.io/token-event/. Using its breakthrough technology, Fate Channels, FunFair is the first blockchain platform and open-source protocol that makes online casino games fun, fast, and fair.
Unlike other companies, we have much more than a white paper and a dream for our token creation event, said Jez San OBE, founder and CEO. Weve already developed real, playable casino games that prove our model works. Our vision is a limitless universe of transparent, secure casinos that can be easily created by anyone, anywhere in the world.
More details about FunFair and terms of the token creation event can be found in the white paper here:
https://www.funfair.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/FunFair-Commercial-White-Paper.pdf
Disrupting The Global Casino Game Market
FunFairs founders have a proven track record of over 40 years creating innovative interactive entertainment products and have sold millions of games in the process.
At FunFair, the team has solved three key problems necessary to disrupt the projected $60B global casino game market using blockchain technology: lack of fairness, slow game speed, and poor game experience.
Unlike other casino game platforms, FunFair is the:
Fastest FunFair games are the fastest of blockchain casino games, occurring on the Ethereum blockchain without centralized servers. As a result, players see results in real-time that are fully auditable and provably fair while still fun and engaging.
Most Fun FunFair games have the same rich 3D graphics and slick user experience that players of app-based games have come to love.
Most Fair Players distrust of existing online casinos is widespread. FunFair uses highly transparent, Ethereum smart contracts with code on the blockchain to create the most fair online casino games available today. Players can see all their games and others to verify that the outcome was fair and whether they should have been paid.
Safest FunFair games require no deposit or withdrawal. Players retain full control over their funds at all times. Casinos never control players money.
Lowest Cost FunFair Fate Channels deliver the most efficient, lowest fees paid per transaction. Players only pay at the beginning and end of each session not each hand or roll of the dice like most other games. As a result, players receive the biggest profits without delays or withdrawal fees even during long sessions that most players desire.
Easiest FunFair games require no download or sign up process. Players click on a link and start playing immediately.
A demo of FunFairs casino games (slots, blackjack, and roulette) can be viewed here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O3ySQSBSY8
FUN Tokens and How to Participate
FunFairs token, FUN, is the currency of this new ecosystem. The FUN token powers every aspect of FunFairs Ethereum-based casino platform. Players will bet using FUN, developers and affiliates will be rewarded for their participation in FUN, and operators and licencees will pay players out using FUN. FUN will also power the smart contracts that run the platform, including FunFairs unique new Random Number Generator.
To participate in the token event, buyers simply visit this page and follow the instructions: https://www.funfair.io/token-event/. Buyers will be given the official Fun token contract address (ETH and ERCO20), Bitcoin and Zcash addresses, and more information on how to use these. For fiat currency, buyers can contact fiat@funfair.io before the token event.
If 5 billion FUN tokens have been created at any time before the token event end date, token creation will continue for 12 additional hours after that point to ensure that anyone who wants to contribute can still do so. After 12 hours, the creation-crediting period will end. If 5 billion FUN is not reached within 16 days, the token event will close on July 7, 2017 at 10a EDT.
Approximately 30% of funds raised from the token creation event will be used toward development of FunFairs peer-to-peer platform, protocol, and suite of high-quality games. About 30% of the funds raised will be used for marketing, PR and business development. The remainder of the funds will be used by FunFair to service licensees and promote third party development.

Re: [ANN][DCR] Decred - Community Governance | Bitcoin Devs | Lightning Network
Speed trading otherwise known as high-frequency trading (HFT) is a technique that uses algorithmic swaps to trade products at high speeds, and fast turnover rates. Typically HFT operations trade extremely large volumes of trades which in turn makes up the low margins offered by the exchange. Flow Traders is not the first high-speed trading company thats entered the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Five well-known HFT dealers Tower Research, Susquehanna, Jump Trading, DRW Holdings, and Hudson River are selling cryptocurrency products to clients as well. The proprietary trading firm DRW Holdings claims its been swapping cryptocurrencies since 2014

Re: [ANN] [ICO] HoloToken (HOT): Holo The Distributed Hosting Platform
Transactions are broadcast, and every node is creating their own updated version of events.
It is this difference that makes blockchain technology so useful It represents an innovation in information registration and distribution that eliminates the need for a trusted party to facilitate digital relationships.
Yet, blockchain technology, for all its merits, is not a new technology.
Rather, it is a combination of proven technologies applied in a new way. It was the particular orchestration of three technologies (the Internet, private key cryptography and a protocol governing incentivization) that made bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto's idea so useful.

Re: [ANN][ICO] Quantstamp - The First Decentralized Smart Contract Security Platform
With a blockchain, many people can write entries into a record of information, and a community of users can control how the record of information is amended and updated. Likewise, Wikipedia entries are not the product of a single publisher. No one person controls the information
The smallest unit of a bitcoin is called a satoshi. It is one hundred millionth of a bitcoin (0.00000001) at today's prices, about one hundredth of a cent. This could conceivably enable microtransactions that traditional electronic money cannot.
Re: [V] Version [V] | 60% PoS | Personal Storage Vault v2.2.0.0
Fiat currencies (dollars, euros, yen, etc.) have an unlimited supply central banks can issue as many as they want, and can attempt to manipulate a currency's value relative to others. Holders of the currency (and especially citizens with little alternative) bear the cost.
With bitcoin, on the other hand, the supply is tightly controlled by the underlying algorithm. A small number of new bitcoins trickle out every hour, and will continue to do so at a diminishing rate until a maximum of 21 million has been reached. This makes bitcoin more attractive as an asset in theory, if demand grows and the supply remains the same, the value will increase

Re: [Ann][ICO Complete!!] Loopring -- Decentralised Exchange and Open Protocol
Bitcoin's most important characteristic is that it is decentralized. No single institution controls the bitcoin network. It is maintained by a group of volunteer coders, and run by an open network of dedicated computers spread around the world. This attracts individuals and groups that are uncomfortable with the control that banks or government institutions have over their money.
Bitcoin solves the "double spending problem" of electronic currencies (in which digital assets can easily be copied and re-used) through an ingenious combination of cryptography and economic incentives. In electronic fiat currencies, this function is fulfilled by banks, which gives them control over the traditional system. With bitcoin, the integrity of the transactions is maintained by a distributed and open network, owned by no-one
