I have a minor issue with Bittrex I’ve been trying to resolve for 3 weeks now. Despite repeated attempts to communicate from my end all I get are automated email msgs stating it may take up to 24 hrs to receive a response due to increased volume on their site. Understandable, but 3 wks is a pretty big stretch without a single human initiated response to a simple matter...

Are these guys for real? Is this going to be the next Mt Gox or Cryptsy? With the volume the exchange handles on a daily basis, they can’t afford to scale their support staff accordingly?

Why do these exchanges have such difficulty running like real businesses?

Hi,

I'd love to hear your method to find and buy quality coins when they are cheap. I am expanding my portfolio but buying something at $5 now when it was $0.5 just 3-4 months back hurts.

Can you share your research method or any tip to find coin with good potential at early stage?

Sharing wouldn't hurt. If I use your method and happen to find/buy your coin.. I am actually putting money in and raising it's value. Good for everyone.

Thank you.

Really.

Why an average person on the street should buy a coin, say IOTA or Stratis? What he will do with it?

Do we all buy just to hold and in hope that someone else will pay more?

Where will this end?

What coins have real use case for end users?

Thank you.

bittrex is a very good option, but I'm not sure if it has iota trading options. Binance is actually very good, you can try it, because so far, Binance has not been any bad news broke, it is relatively safe.

I think Bitcoin $20,000 is basically sure now.

What about Ethereum at $15000 though? that seems difficult

Every country has their own norms on money laundering. Like in my country, if I get 1 million (around 15.5k USD) in my local currency, my bank will immediately report that transaction to the government. Similarly your country may also have some kind of cap on the maximum amount of transactions. Find that amount and make a transfer below that cap. However, then also there will be a chance to get reported to the government if your previous earning pattern doesn't match with your current transfer.

So, instead of making a huge transfer to your account, make small transfers every month as per your requirement. That's what I do. I make small transfer every month to my bank account and use it for investment. That way you will be safe from the regulators.

If not HODLer, what do you choose to exit from BTC?
Fiat?
Tether?
Ripple?
Dash?
Current day coin positive uptrend?

How do you exit and stand on side line, to then re-enter?...

In a world without transfer fees, what motive would incentivize miners to produce the high quantities of hash power necessary to secure a blockchain? Transfer fees undoubtedly exude a malus in terms of producing electronic payments which are less efficient. However there is an upside to transfer fees in that they incentivize miners to fulfill their role in producing hashpower to keep things secure.

Removing transfer fees from the equation has the potential to produce a chink in the security of crypto. It could be compared to removing a key jenga block from the tower, producing instability which could eventually bring everything crashing down. Earlier this year we saw a number of miners leave bitcoin to mine bitcoin cash. This created a brief period of time when bitcoin was more vulnerable than usual to cryptographic attacks.

The key to alts which claim to have solved transfer fees is how they propose to incentivize miners to devote hashpower to the network. Removing transfer fees creates a vacuum which must be filled for a fully functional alt to work. Of course, I'm only covering the basics. It is possible people have invented methods to compensate. When will we see real world superior alternatives to transfer fees deployed, I wonder?

A lot have been sceptical around the hype that is placed around IOTA, although it brings to mind so many new ways to think about the blockchain (or the Tangle).

No transaction fees, no miners(miners being the participants), the use of a regulator at the initiation of the network to make system 30% honest, the Tangle itself which improves security and efficiency as the network gets larger, the use of ternary encoding which (may be) quantum-resistant.

All these thoughts are so good to someone who does not understand the implications of the technology. For example, their attempt to make their own hash function, the curl, had security flaws. And everyone knows to never try to make your own cryptography. Several technologist have suggested that what IOTA does is unnecessary complicated, but sometimes I like the freshness that breaks the mould of how to do consensus protocols.

Perhaps, there are other coins out there which put creativity above practicality in their consensus. Do you know some innovative yet legitimate coins?

Hello,

Which coming ico are like ethereum and litecoin? I mean like their strong base, I'd like to participate in few ico and then earn some profit on their launch.

The kyc (know your customer) process is basically submitting a photo of passport and sometimes utility bill to prove your residency. In many cases US residents are barred from investing unless they are accredited investors. Other countries have also banned icos and kyc will also fail if passport is from there.

As a result be careful investing if kyc is needed or ico may keep funds if you cant pass. Best to wait until coin is on exchange and buy there.

As far as a fork is concerned, there is a thread on altcoin section about Bitcoin Silver, another scam coin, nothing known about developers, no website, no github links, just that yet another fork, specifically snapshot coin might happen in December. Just a cash grab, a joke in the name of making Bitcoin mining decentralized again and yet again.

As far as the rapid increase in Bitcoin price is concerned, one of the reasons is, the world's largest futures exchange, CME is expected to launch bitcoin futures in the second week of December.

This is what I've been telling to people who are comparing bitcoin to the dot com bubble. The dot com bubble happened because back then people were thinking internet = free money, which it obviously wasn't, so the bubble had to burst. But the technology behind it stayed, and good dot com companies prospered because it was good technology and it is the backbone of pretty much everything we do right now.

The same applies to bitcoin, or the blockchain technology, to be more precise. Altcoins may disappear, even bitcoin itself may disappear in the future, but the blockchain technology is here to stay.
