i guess they're called soar.sh now. new owner maybe?

For BTC, I think we shoulder the fees. For Paypal it's the merchant that shoulders fees.

Thank you for answering my questions. Is there an upvotes.io staff active here? I'd like to know how I can avail of the free upvotes test.

Is this still up and running? My google search shows upvotes.io as the number one result. Just want to check how their service is for those who tried.

I agree with Spectrecoin as a good pick, but I am also looking at Menlo One and WePower as my other 3 top picks. I won't go so much into detail, but the fact that Menlo One is a decentralized ICO marketplace and WePower is a renewable energy project both with teams that have proven their legitimacy is enough reason for me to believe that they will both take off.

Not sure why Menlo One or Eloncity seldomly get mentioned but I think that these projects are one of the best for this year as well.. A decentralized ICO marketplace and a renewable energy project with very responsible team members.

Yes I particularly like Menlo One because of its potential to gain mass adoption for being an ICO marketplace. What does security token mean though? I know that you are only required to submit KYC requirements once through menlo and you can then join all its ICOs without having to resubmit again and again. Is this related?

With all the news about scam ICOs out there, I think Menlo.One is the hottest ICO this year since it aims to solve such issue with the use of the proof of reputation algorithm. What I like about this project is that aims to help promising tokens that deserve financing by functioning as a decentralized ICO marketplace or ICO listing platform. Since most advertising platforms have banned ads related to cryptos, I can only imagine how expensive it is now to promote projects. On the other hand, they are fortunate that a platform such as Menlo One is here to help them grow. Their whitepaper can be viewed here https://www.menlo.one

возможно, что разработчики проекта обратятся к другим методам продвижения своих жетонов. Вы слышали о платформе, называемой menlo.one? В июле он запускает продажу токенов и, как говорят, ускоряет будущее маржинальной экономики, помогая сократить расходы на рекламу, стимулировать обзоры сообщества на основе доказательств репутации и много классных вещей, упомянутых в их документе. У вас есть какие-то мысли об этом проекте?

I agree; not 100% accurate, but still helpful in exposing scam projects. This July, I will be moving to menlo.one as soon as its token sale launches and platform goes live. Menlo.one enables us to view ICOs, join/make discussions as well as reviews, buy tokens and manage our portfolio. I still need to do a little bit more research, but their CEO seemed sincere and knowledgeable about their project. Any thoughts about it?

Some legit ICOs are most definitely still around, although scams probably outnumber them nowadays.. It's easy to say "do proper research" but it's not easy at all especially for neophyte investors. Luckily, we have websites like ICObench helping us out in selecting good projects. Soon, we will have an ICO marketplace called Menlo.one which not only provides ICO reviews and discussions, but also the ability to actually buy tokens and manage our portfolio.

I think the best way to make money is by investing in good ICOs, but there are a number of reasons why us retail investors are not able to catch all good ICOs and we sometimes end up choosing fraudsters instead... Sadly, this is the reason why I don't like ICOs nowadays since some of them end up just running away once they get their target profit.

Lately, I notice that there have been posts about Menlo One, an ICO marketplace that is set to launch its token sale this July. I'm skeptical since I can't tell which projects are legit and which aren't. Has anyone heard of this project? Here's a link to an interview vid with their CEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw1QBpBYE6o&t=427s

This project will soon change the ICO investor experience and will help crypto gain greater mass adoption! I can already picture out online shopping ICOs as if it were on Amazon.Hopefully, that's really gonna be how simple joining ICOs will soon be with Menlo One.

I've been checking for updates on the Paybear site and haven't found much lately. Might be a little late to answer your question but they still don't accept ETN as of this time..

Good or bad predictions, they all don't matter. At the end of the day, nobody can predict the future no matter how much analysis you put into it. We can only anticipate what's going to happen next and place stop losses just in case.

Ripple might be manipulated and some hardcore crypto supporters here would never support it. However, if we talk about potential profits, I would go for Ripple.

There is no big profit from mining on phones.. lol It sounds really fishy and I think it's main purpose is to steal personal information.

I actually think that their 'hate' for Bitcoin is just displacement of their feelings of envy for having missed the biggest ride of their lives. I didn't make the most of it either, but I still see the potential of this technology rather than focus on its price action.

Not if major banks use Ripple imo... @on topic While Bitcoin can be used for the transactions mentioned above, I don't think it would be practical to do so simply because of its fluctuating price.

I totally agree. I think that being regulated also means that people will need to pay taxes in every transaction. While this may seem negative to many crypto supporters, this actually helps reach more businesses without any fear of being shut down.
