You will always profit more where there is more risk. Then again, you'll normally lose more where there is more risk as well. As such, you need to create your own risk tolerance profile and invest accordingly.
So McAfee plans to cash in on the ICO sector? The fund raiser cap is quite large
If regulations aren't an issue and it captures some market share it'd be interesting to see where this goes

So far their pre-ICO is doing a full KYC test. They seem to be refunding anyone who doesn't pass the KYC. I'd say that, of all the ICOs, this one is playing it very safe.
I'm afraid that mining is not recommended for you with little knowledge about mining, you should only engage in mining when you are well informed.
Mining isn't rocket science, so I don't really agree. In fact, the point of mining is that anyone can and everyone should do it to split the load around. I would, however, advise against mining bitcoin without significant investment (and therefore knowledge). Start with mining a crypto that uses your GPU.
Ethpool has an FAQ (http://ethpool.org/faq) to help you get started. That and a quick google search will net you plenty of people telling you how to do it. PS. If you want to discuss altcoin mining further, start a thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0.
I wouldn't recomment you to use Google Authenticator, since you can't easily backup your accounts with it and it's not tied to yur gmail account. So if you lose your phone, your 2FA accounts are gone if you haven't saved the secret code. I suggest you to use a open source app like andOTP (the one I'm using) that allows you to create a backup of your 2FA accounts.
Basically, when you want to login to your account, you will need to get your 2FA code from your phone and use it as an "additional password" (which is always different from time to time and it's only valid for one login session). This makes it very hard to lose your account to hackers, since they would need to breach your PC and phone at the same time.
+1 great advice! I've been wondering about that.

The moment a 2 post newbie schools you on the rules of the board.
Well done CryptoAssasin
You'll get 1000 different opinions from 1000 people. And who knows which opinion to take since this is a mostly anonymous forum? My advice is to go learn everything you can, and start small. Keep learning and don't stop.
Re: Can I create a coin using Bitcoin, or am I stuck with Ethereum?
I don't want to make a coin personally. I'll get others to do the techie stuff. (I do website programming, marketing, business end stuff).
But from my research, and my project, it would be of great great benefit to create a token off the back of bitcoin as opposed to Ethereum. Thus, my question and also if anyone knows of a sidechain to the bitcoin that permits this.

I'd say that your research, and by association, project, are flawed.
1. If you do "website programming", then you'd know javascript, and therefore be easily acquainted with Solidity.
2. Ethereum has a very solid platform to run tokens off of (they're called tokens, not coins, fwiw).
3. Many ICOs accept bitcoin for tokens using a dapp to process the purchase.
4. Exchanging BTC for ETH is easy. Really no use for excluding one for another.
All that said, maybe you're looking for http://www.rsk.co/ ?
Edit: Looks like Red-Apple already said it above.
Re: What do you think the chances of larger agencies corrupting crytocurrencies
Best fear based attack on BTC that I've heard about is if the great firewall of China decided to block miners connecting to each other. If they did this, then BTC would run two chains, one in China and one in the rest of the world. It'd cause a split and really confuse the value. Then, they could cause even more harm by reopening the firewall and watching the chains attempt to reconcile.
That said, it's all fear based talk. Lots of work has gone into these and creating a 51% attack is not cheap or easy. Which is the point.

The only reason any currency has real value is because a community of people believe that it does. Fortunately for Bitcoin, when the value gets too high no entity can say "let's print some more!"
Unless you start a fork
All for the long term -
1. BTC - 40K
2. ETH - 30K
3. LTC - 10K
4. XMR - 10K
5. NEO - 10K

+1. Good risk, not crazy, with a mostly stable 70%. Nice.
Cheapest? Some altcoin that they both have. ETC maybe?
Easiest and still very cheap? ETH. Should cost you whatever kraken charges for withdraws, and that's it.

One of the tests I use for ICOs is to see who posted it and what they did to get their member status. For instance, it looks like you joined in August and decided to start with useless responses on the Blocklancer ICO. It's nice to be able to see their history if you want to vet their responses.
That is a pretty good test actually..I'll start doing that too..
In my defense, I got to know about bitcointalk.org thanks to clicking on the blocklancer ICO link somewhere. They wanted you to post on BCT some code to tell them that you are in..Invested my first few ETH in that.
Have that to thank them for getting me onto bitcointalk if nothing else really..
Hah, well, you're not posting an ICO yet, so I was more trolling than really critiquing your starts

If you're interested in a long-term strategy, I'd suggest you a very simple conservative strategy:
1. Split your investment into top10 coins by market cap. You get lower risk and average profit.
2. Rebalance your portfolio once in a month.
3. Enjoy

This strategy works if you believe that the entire crypto market will go up. Considering that, what, 100k new coinbase users signed in a single day at one point, then maybe that's not a bad idea.
