Yes sir, the campaign had actually been announced over last May 2018. Yet there was no final stakes being counted. There was a disagreement between the bounty manager and the ICO project. The bounty manager told us the he was not paid and so he did not continue the counting of stakes and the ICO admin told us that there were no spreadsheets being given to them. Both parties keep blaming each other and we were left in the middle. So I waited since May for the ICO admin's promise until the new system was then implemented. I felt sad because I became a newbie again. I didn't know if it was worth the wait but I keep on holding my signature for the promised bounty. Now I don't know what to do with it and I only cconsider myself to be positive even when I did become a newbie again. By the way thank you for hearing us low ranking members. Thanks a lot everyone in here. Let us support the system, no need to argue despite the change, only change is something permanent. Goodluck just be positive and help will come I know there good people around here. Thanks to all.

I have not posted anymore since the end of the campaign of the ICO project I have participated. I have not joined any because I am hoping that maybe soon they will be giving out bounties. Until this new system came and remove the signature that I did left as is due to bounty not being received yet because stakes were not calculated. It was so hard and sad for me to learn that my chances might be gone. I just don't know so I felt frustrated a bit. Yet I know that sir Theymos did this considering that checking on all posts are so hard to do not unless everyone will be doing their best to do a meaningful post, so that the site will be a better place for forums. Please understand that all of us are really having a hard time on this but this is what is really needed to make this site even more attractive to all readers, investors and anyone visiting it. Please accept these changes with a heart and stop arguing with each other. Trust sir Theymos on this and all the other admins and moderators. I know how each one feels about this but leave it to them because they know what is best.

Thank you very much.

This is what I meant you can check that I have been waiting long enough but I understand that the market is so unfavorable for now. It is just I was not so lucky. I need money because I am not anybody and life is so difficult. And hope is a bit far. Yet I am always optimistic no matter what.

There is a seroius profit involved in bitcoin. That is why many are really into it in just a matter of months after posting this thread of yours. Change is so rapid people are now into bitcoin. Think of a good business that you might get into using bitcoin. Just make sure your country doesn't have so much regulations regarding cryptocurrency. Its hard for a business to be considered as an illegal.

What does a stick do to you? It could be  anything depending upon what purpose it is used for. It could be violent, as to whipped an erring child or be as useful as a person's additional hands or legs. This is what bitcoin is. While it can do good it can also be used to create scams. I just hope people realize how useful it is in the real world and use it not only for doing a scam. Certainly without any doubt bitcoin is not a scam,  some people are.

The potential for bitcoin is big as it is the most commonly used cryptocurrency today but It isn't good to sell your properties for trading on it. Remember that it is like a gamble to trust bitcoin so much due to its volatility. Evrything should be planned well but not to the point that you should sell things for it. Bitcoin is always there you will have so many times to gain good capital for investing on it.

It is by nature that man reacts to things that do more harm than what is safe  and tends to remember this experiences as something to really instill or mark in someone's mind. This is part of man's action we call fear. Fear  fuels doubt on anything that was not proven yet after such a worse experience. So that it is not to be questioned if anybody would just call evrybody as scams.

For me I don't consider it as an opportunity as others have thought because in the first place you already have bought bitcoin at a higher price and it is the reason why you feared a lot about losing your investments. Consider looking at the possibilities on a longer time scale. If you think bitcoin will never reach that value again and you don't want to invest long term then better sell it to cut loses. But if you think that the value could go higher than the buying price in any time later then just hold it np matter what this is up to you.

As I have observed most coins do have something in common with bitcoin. They would all drop when bitcoin drops as well. I have seen a few coin though that do not actually go with these movements. I see these coins better in a way that they have a different market than most do. These is essential because you will know that they are stable even when generally others are affected by current drop pulled by bitcoin. So in times when market is bad you don't have to worry about having to sell becuase bitcoin drops as a reference. I saw Dogecoin, USDT, BNB and many others to be like stand alone and like them aside from Ethereum.

I heard this is possible. But the problem is it would take so much time to decrypt the hidden key. No one would spent so much time just to get a working private key. There is risk in this method. Given that you can do this, you will be creating a traffic that can be seen as a threat in the network which means you can be traced for doing so. As a result maybe you can be put to jail even before finally recovering the bitcoin you want to steal.

I don't actually believe bitcoin doesn't have any value at all. The only problem with bitcoin is its volatility as you have pointed out. Bitcoin doesn't just become a currency with no value at all considering that before you can use bitcoin you have to buy it which means the value is equated to the price when it was bought but bitcoin is represented in any currency as its back up value. This does not make it a non valued currency. For future use as a real currency bitcoin may not be able to fit itself until it will become stable which is the hardest thing to realize for now.

I think it is worth investing. There is much about bitcoin mining that people do really love it. I think they gain a lot from doing so. The only thing I heard from people doing it is the needed increase your powersupply and hardware requirements. Electric consumption may also be high so this needs to be planned well.

Life is full of mistakes. Some of the things you have mentioned have happened to most people whom I think was not giving too much importance to bitcoin except for some cases where accidentally they lost their private keys. But for some of those who did not value bitcoin in the beginning are those who end up looking for bitcoin private keys because to them bitcoin was just something that doesn't give them ample returns until one day when the value did rise up high they keep looking for it like crazy.

There are so many ways where you can invest on bitcoins. Imagine this is an equivalent to money in the real world. So what do you do with money to earn or gain from it is the same as using bitcoin. The simplest one is to buy bitcoin from exchanges and then sell it when you have gained. Other things you can do would include selling things online and get paid on bitcoin, or maybe create an exchange of your own, create your own lending company with bitcoin as currency, getting paid for services in bitcoin and many other things.

I do think the same. While it is a good palce to get yourself rich but it is also a roon to make failures. Bitcoin is risky as it is volatile. You cannot predict when you will be able to gain becuase any day might be just a losing day for you. Yet of course it is an advantage if you are skillful enough to see the possibilities for loses or growth of your investments but don't really put everything on like your future on bitcoin.

Well for now it might be so hard to establish a small business and make bitcoin as payments. The reason is that it would be too costly to adapt the system. Remember small business earn only a small fraction of percentage compared to larger businesses thus it would be hard on their part to increase the amount to get a good gain.

If many will be using it as a currency certainly it will fluctuate less but I doubt  it as of this early. Many people find it a good thing for investing and day trading. This day trading and holding of coins do create a lot of volatility and if this continues maybe it will never be stable as a currency.

As I have noticed by observing the events that have been reported many of the hacking methods have employed phishing techniques. That is so simple the you thought you are just clicking on websites and pages that seems harmelss but was able to save your data. As long as those hackers are out there, it will be hard to say everything online is safe because the flaw is not in the system but on the users who never thought would be their victims. So how safe is MEW? It is safe but it is us that could create such a mistake.

It is better to buy two since ethereum is also stable and a good coin which is second to bitcoin you can definitely gain from buying it. And diversifying your investments can also help in the loses that you might incur with the other.

As I have heard the payments being given was due to the complexity of the computations which uses more power and therefore consumes more electricity. And as I have known the lesser the value of the remaining coins in the block chain the more difficult or complex will be the processes so this makes it time consuming as well so that payments go up.

I think we have some problem with this. If you say emergency it could be just anytime. Consider what could happen if the market for cryptocurrency drops? Should you wait for the values to go up before using it? Surely you will lose some of your money on this which is not good.
