BSV claim functionality and wallet added to Exodus:

Also available for in-wallet exchanges and adds replay protection on future BCH ABC transactions.

"Big whales" have potentially been tipped off by insiders that this coin is run by KNOWN SCAMMERS. Not sure if the BFL guys are actually behind SkinCoin, but based on the active promotion of phishing sites and it being in the gambling space generally, it seems like a pretty good bet at this point.

Marshall Long of Cryptsy infamy?!? Surely you jest!

eSports ICOs seem to be the haven of scammers galore.

Trying to mask the phishing site URL? Scumbag.

Looks like the SkinScamSquad is already hard at work responding to the FUD...

Disgusting, ain't it? How many are outright paid shills, I wonder? Many seem either illiterate/English as a Second Language, so paying Eastern Europeans to promote it on boards like this doesn't seem too outlandish.

Not only is this shaping up to be another con by the same 'ol hucksters, but the "Skin/eSports Gambling" ICO market is getting insanely overcrowded - new competitors by the day, some of which have far more reputable names and/or actual software to show off ahead of time.

Here's yet another: https://neverdie.com/

Thanks for the warnings. While it seems no one will heed them during the funding stage, your posts will undoubtedly be chronicled in the aftermath.

Another ICO that's competing directly with SkinCoin: https://unikoingold.com/

And this one has some pretty big names behind it. The E-Sports betting sector is prime for crypto disruption, but things are definitely getting crowded.

If true, this is the Kiss of Death for this project.

How are those two not in jail already, anyways?

Look at the page source, the HTML for the progress bar is clearly commented out.

Looks like the counter has been disabled on the homepage...

Does the SKIN team not want to display how far they are from their goal? As much promise as this ICO has, most successful ones are sold out on the first day.

Yes, there's Firstblood, which has no ICO yet: https://firstblood.io/

...and there's also Gilgam, another attempt at the same thing with an ICO active at the same time as SkinCoin: https://ico.gilgam.es/

While the concept behind all of these e-sports betting tokens is quite promising, I've yet to see a SkinCoin developer (or a developer of any of these coins) explain what makes their project different from the others. SkinCoin has a clear mission with the skin betting/trading, but others already have whitepapers for robust betting platforms which seems to be just in concept phase with SkinCoin

It'd be nice if someone from SkinCoin could explain what makes their token unique when pitted against these other two (and GameCredits, for that matter).

This platform looks incredibly robust and the eSports industry is rife with opportunity. A betting coin/app for gamers could be a big hit. However, this is hardly the only ICO in this space and it's definitely less publicized than the competition.

So what does Gilgam offer over something like SkinCoin, doing the exact same thing, ICOing at the exact same time, and has raised far more money?

This ICO is in an interesting space and looks to be a good idea. However, it's not the only eSports ICO going on right now with a near-identical business model. What differentiates SkinCoin from something like Gilgam.es?

Have yet to find an ICO that didn't include a fair amount of tomf***ery. Status, Populous, TenX... the list goes on.

Certainly feels that way. I was going to use BTC originally but thought, "Bitcoin is so slow, might as well use MEW to make sure I get in."

But now it looks like everyone who did use BTC (with unconfirmed freakin' transactions no less) is in but those who followed the directions got short-tokened. How is this even possible?

This question deserves to be addressed.

Also sent within first seconds - my timestamp changed twice! Then the transaction disappeared entirely with a new one taking its place. Very frustrating.

If this is the case it's a total horse heap.

I specifically converted BTC to ETH ahead of time because I knew BTC's block time is notoriously slow. If ETH transactions that were sent well within the time limit get deleted but completely unconfirmed BTC transactions are accepted, there's some serious shenanigans afoot.

Oh, and my TX timestamp was also changed from seconds after open to 15 minutes after, how is this possible?

Not holding my breath lol. I suppose this beats establishing a "pre-ICO sale" last minute with high buy-ins.

Of course, CIVIC was the only ICO I was interested in that I didn't try to buy into! >__< Glad to know at least one company knows how to run a token sale professionally.

Same scenario, mate! Pushed the TX right at open, but was timestamped much later. Still pending, assuming I didn't get in. Real disappointed.

You and me both, man. FUN, Status, Populous, and now TenX. Transaction pending despite getting in right at open.

Either MEW is routinely fucking up or ICOs simply aren't available to the "little guy" on any pragmatic level whatsoever.

Oh, well. Hopefully I get my funds back in a timely manner. Wish TenX the best, I've heard from people already using their service that it works swimmingly. Rare these days that an ICO has an actual product/service before launch.

Not massive differences no, but some. There's a whole thread dedicated to ZEC BIOSes for Tahiti cards with modified memory straps which give better speeds: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1676474.0

Unless there's a way to hit ~290 H/s without a BIOS mod? 290-310 looks to be about the max for the 7970/280x cards.

Are the fan issues present in v12.4? Don't think 12.5 gave any noticeable increase in speed so if it fixes the fan issue I'd use it instead. Moreover, I've always heard that Catalyst 15.12 is best for the R9 series when mining ZEC, have you tried using them instead?
