Great educational video discussing fiat impact of crypto on fiat...

One thing I like to do is set up a multi-sig wallet from bitaddress.org. Very trusted site. Turn off the internet before you create a wallet though.

You can set it up to where you have any number of signers for the coins. So for example, if you decide you trust 3 people to have signatures for the address, choose to make it so 2 of them have to provide keys to unlock the bitcoin.

Of course, you have to trust the people that have keys, but usually this works well with a spouse or trusted family members etc.

Very safe in my opinion. And you can use as many signers that you want. You could say 5 of 9 signers have to simultaneously agree to release the coins as well. There is no limit, I don't think. I think you can even do only 3 of the 9 have to sign.

I did not choose this part of the forum for this post. A moderator sent it to this area. It doesn't fit many places well but it is certainly interesting.

Well it made the news:

Can that be verified as being a true beginning to a private key?

This is an educational series that discusses bitcoin mining and Satoshi Nakamoto.

They are teaching about the socio-economic impact of crypto and in order to teach people how to understand bitcoin MINING, they have hidden a private key to 1 bitcoin in the video series.

You have to watch all 10 of them to figure out where the private key is hidden. The idea is to incentivize people to learn what a private key looks like so they can understand bitcoin better.

This is the first video of the series:

I believe that we will see whitelisting (and therefore blacklisting) of addresses as commonplace practice in the future.

I don't think you can kill bitcoin. Every politician has their grubby hands in it right now, hiding money.

It is perfect for them. They will never have the selflessness to throw this ring into Mordor.

Well said

There is 1 whole bitcoin up for grabs in this educational series. 

My guess is someone on here will be best capable of finding the hidden private key.

The first 4 digits of the private key are in the bottom right hand corner of this first video, right at the very end of it. It pops up for a brief second or so...

Looking forward to the launch and remain very optimistic about the project. When all the teenagers download that app and start playing the game, the value of ETN will rise proportional to the size of the network. You will see.

Haven’t seen this kind of frenzy since ethereum. Lol

I don't care if the price goes to 50 cents on cryptopia in the next couple days. That won't mean much. This exchange and volume are insignificant. We have yet to see the real movement in this market and the price will have all kinds of fluctuations. The whales I know are on poloniex, bittrex, kraken, and bitfinex. Electroneum is just getting its feet wet. The big shark buyers are not in NZ waters.

It is vital to the value of all the coins that they have enough to dole out to the teenagers and newbies using the mining app. The SIZE OF THE NETWORK using the coin will DICTATE the value of each coin. Those coins will be in the pockets of millions of app users, many of whom have never owned crypto before.

Any people here thinking they have lost an opportunity to sell because during the roll-out, they couldn't get their coins onto a piddly exchange to sell them for 3 dollars apiece in the first phases of volatility are just delusional. Welcome to crypto! Most of us that know what we are doing, that see the big picture here, are very excited to see the pre-mined coins going into so many hands! One of the greatest innovations here is doing just that. Scores of other coins concentrated too many coins in the hands of a very few. Getting a fair emission of coins has been elusive to many projects but electroneum is doing just that. The bigger this community gets, the greater the value of your coins!

So stop whining on here and go tell your friends to download that app when it comes out and you will be doing yourself and your electroneum coins a much greater service.

Cryptopia is nothing. Wait until the real exchanges get this. You may think the market will be saturated with sell orders, but the big exchanges are where the big WHALE buyers are too. No whales on Cryptopia. The current exchange is amateur hour guys. Anyone that has been in this long enough knows that.

Can anyone substantiate this?

Think those are placeholders then? Makes sense.

Is this legit? Can anyone substantiate the screen on the left?

It is certainly a valid point to ask for the team to provide public addresses for funds deposited to verify the contributions. Easy to do.

I have been in personal contact with Richard through this process and I don't believe this is something they would be resistant to at all.

Always hard to say....

If website traffic is any correlation though, electroneum has some pretty impressive numbers. This site projects that the electroneum webpage will have 2.8 million unique visitors over the next year just based on current viewership numbers. I have been checking these daily and they seem to be correlating well with the reported number of people signing up.

The 40 million hard cap reference is all over the place on the ICO listing sites and in articles.
