Not by June. The AdSense ban is being enacted in June, which is when most ICOs get taken out of the picture for advertising purposes. Most ICOs are on ETH, so ETH will take a beating.

After that, ETH may start recovering back to its ATH of $1,200

Don't worry the bear will be back in 30 days. That's when Google adsense's ban takes effect.

for best UI online web wallet: blockchain.info, because it's very user-friendly. The opposite side is that you lose anonymity.

I dont' understand why people are so angry about local boards and merit sources?

I read in the FAQ that Theymos was especially interested in finding more merit sources for local boards...

I guess is it because the Turkish board already has a merit source?

Well, the article didn't really say too much about blockchain tech as a signficiant talking point, but...

I do believe that when it comes to private data that you willingly submit to companies -- it's always got the risk of leakage. Nothing is 100% leak proof.

But I think a great step in the right direction is decentralized social media. That way centralized social media companies can't sell your info out. Decentralized social media has no incentive to sell data unless it's unamiously decided upon.

What everyone says is true... it's because there's a lot of money being poured into crypto (even during this bear market).



That said, it's like its own economy, so where the money flows, that's where the people go. Companies are pouring money into advertising, just like in other business fields, and to advertise their crypto, they pick bitcointalk since it's like one of the top crypto platforms.

They're using the signature space for a main mode of advertising... and so all the masses are signing up for these campaigns for $$$ BTCBTCBTC

Now you've got the lazy bot spammers who want to sign up with 100 accounts to 100 differnet sig campaigns, and instead of posting like  a normal human, they go around spamming generic, rewritten statements of the poster above...

ADA is a good project. I've seen its papers and everything. It's probably not a scam.

On New Year's Eve, it was worth about $1. Now, it's worth $0.15. That means it has 10x potential when we hit a bull market again.

It's a great option. Tbh, any non-scam coin u buy right now is a great option. Everything is in the red, so when the bull happens... my gosh we'll all be like millionaires lol.

I see the project is a lot more stable now ever since all that... discussion...

I'm glad to see it heading for greener pastures. I saw today a message that you're shutting down chatting in some discord channels, not sure what that's about...

But I'm still watching u guys so... 

Just because you make 4,000 good posts, then sell your account and the new owner is a spammer who makes 100 continuous shitposts... doesn't make it okay.

Check it out, my post only has 1 sentence, but it's not a shitpost. I wonder why. Maybe if OP can figure this out he won't make long threads with horrible capitalization and punctuation about a situation that a child could understand is wrong.

Yeah I just saw this in the news. Looks like more FUD. And when there's FUD, there's red candles.

They released a statement saying they're outright not dealing with any services/exchanges that deal with virtual currency. (PRETTY DUMB STATEMENT, since there's a huge difference between virtual currency and Cryptocurrency.)

Anyway, so yeah...

I like your idea that blockchain tech is slowly going to replace all other apps/programs. And I think that's cool.

Would be really nice if we had a decentralized Uber and other crowd-job apps. When Uber is centralized, you have unfair pay and what not. With decentralized job apps, people are paid by noninterested decentralized system that favors workers rather than the central company.

LOL this is great. It sounds like Etherhacker is going to have revenge for the shit they tried to pull on Ellaism. I read some other thread that said EGEM devs went over to Ellaism discord just to start a blaming campaign and saying EGEM was worth a lot, whereas Ella was worthless.

Anyway, I did some digging and found this Tweet:

https://twitter.com/EllaismCoin/status/979863150978727937

Despite the EGEM team having their own coin, they decide to post this troll tweet because they're in control of the old Ella twitter. Wtf?

Anyway, when EGEM is up and running for real, in a month, i believe Etherhacker might do something scary. Instead of trying to be helpful and revealing the bug, he's probably going to exploit it... and then I don't even want to be near EGEM then.

But good luck you guys!

I don't understand the logic... so Ellaismer points out the bug, just to expose the very real premine... and they blame him for...? Being a whistleblower? Do u really want to support a coin with that kind of logic?

Coverups, false accusations, lots of irrational insults and loudmouthing, and incompetent coding too... idk.

But it's crypto, so it'll probably 10x anyway. I would buy some if anyone is selling for cheap.

To be fair, that doesn't sound like they stole the community fund. It just sounds like they wanted to leave Ella for good, no strings attached.

I can't really blame them? Who would the community fund go to? It would just go to the core team of Ella now (which is just Ellaismer.)

It'll probably end up being a wallet that ends up being untouched and untoucheable. Even when Ella is worth $1,000 or $500 each, it's just going to be crypto candy that people wish they had access to, but don't.

Forced hodl'ing lol.

Looking at EGEM chat, it sounds like it's a really serious issue.

So even the core devs of PIRL and EGEm don't have access to the wallet. It's because they don't have the private key since it was originally the Eth dev's wallet in the eth code.

...that means Vitalik is sitting their comfy knowing he can move those coins cuz he has the original private key (unless he doesn't.)

...It also means if anyone tries to clone eth, Vitalik will always have that private key if the devs miss this kind of a premine.

LOL this is great.

What's this about the community fund? Can you elaborate?

How can you just say "this is just the first day?" You sound like those wallets that got hacked and all you can say is, "lol this is just the first oversight. Dw, it'll be fixed bby."

HOW DO YOU MISS A 12 PERCENT PREMINE? Dude! Did you guys just copy and paste the ethereum code, then slap on the EGEM name?

I'm not trying to be a dick, but c'mon, you're overly downplaying this obviously huge deal.

You have, what, 10 devs on your team. All of them missed the 12% premine. I think that speaks to a lot of your competencies. I hope everyone takes note of who the core team is so they can watch out for these people in the future. It's obvious they're either highly incompetent or scammers.

Anytime any of them are on a project, make sure to scrutinize that project with enough depth and voracity to make sure there's some legitimacy.

I mean like, how does that happen? When you say there's no premine, aren't you supposed to literally check for a premine. Like, you know, using due diligence, and logic, this should be the very first step.

No other eth clones have had an issue this big... look at ETC, ELLA, and others.

Ironically, if you had just stuck with being based off of Ella, you would never have fun into this problem because Ella's code is original. But since you copied Eth's code, it came with Vitalik's original premine...

So I mean, even if this "accidental premine" is fixed. How do we know your project is legit? What if we invest or mine EGEM and waste electricity and money, and then suddenly there's some other huge hole that ends up happening because you guys didn't see it?

I will watch EGEM, because I believe some of you on the core team are truly trying to make a project worth being made. I hope you guys step it up and cover for the other devs who miss these holes.

This is really sohcking. I was interested in EGEM because it seemed like a good opportunity and a cleaner ELLA with no centralization.

But from the look of things, these guys are really scammers. They advertised no premine, but there's a huge premine as some people have already pointed out. Just check the address:

0x5abfec25f74cd88437631a7731906932776356f9

It's legit.

EGEM is really a huge nightmare after I saw this, and then looked up its history. Turns out it was originally called "ELLAGEM." But then the devs couldn't even agree on which coin they wanted to base themselves off of. So they decided to go off of the more popular ethereum, and somehow, despite all the code, they did some night hours monkeying and changed their whole coin so that it runs as an Ethereum clone instead rather than an Ella clone, so now it's EtherGem LOL.

If you don't believe me, you can see their history yourself if you research it.

And now they sneakily put in this premine... oh no....

If you're going to keep some, can I have at least 0.1 btc?

Gdax is a great exchange, never hacked, no fees to do anything at all (even sending away from the exchange).

You also have Binance, which has also never been hacked.
