Yes they added huge load, but  I still think just a single project shouldn't be able to put that huge load on ethereum blockchain. It's true that hashing power won't be needed for PoS, but I don't think it will solve scalability issues. I know there's several proposals using side chains or state channels to improve ethereum scalabilty. But those technologies are still more or less paper ideas. Don't get me wrong, I agree ethereum is the most proven platform by far, but it's still far away from being production ready. I'm surpirsed that market doesn't care about it and that the price pumped so insanely high in last couple of days.

I don't know the project it might be good, but are you sure you aren't recommending it just because you shared your referral link. Don't want to offend you, but just can't take seriously someone, who guarantees at least 3x profit. Everyone serious knows it's impossible to promise any profit for any investment in crypto. And as I see they offer 100% bonus that ends today. And some get even more referral bonus. That tells me it might be very hard for it to reach the x3 ICO price soon. Because there will be loads of token owners who got them much cheaper, meaning they'll be willing to sell it far below the ICO price and push the price down.

I think NEO will rise next spring, same as ETH did last spring because of numerous ICO's that are coming to NEO. I think $500 per NEO could be very realistic price to achieve.

Yes the plan is for everybody to be able to have his own management portfolio. But that hasn't been implemented yet. I guess that 10K limit is only because they wanted the first DAA managers to be serious and big players with experience. So they can together thoroughly test the platform and get feedback from experienced managers, before it becomes available to an "average Joe". Once average Joe has access to creating his own DAA, that 10K limit will be removed. And instead he would have to pay in ICN tokens to be able to create his own DAA. The exact details aren't worked out yet I think, but I expect it will be much cheaper than $10K.

More and more people are asking me on how to invest in crypto and if I'd do it for them. Of course I can't create different wallets and exchange accounts for everybody so I decline. But can't wait for the opportunity to make my own DAA fund. Then I'll just tell them to buy my fund and show them how to do it. Of course it would help a lot if there was fiat gateway so they could just invest with their credit card.

I think once DAA funds are open to everyone and there's fiat gateway there will be time to judge if ICN has indeed failed. But for now I still believe in the project. And ICN's so cheap it's a steal right now. So I'll buy some more for hodl.

As far as I know the official answer regarding exchanges has always been. "Don't ask us, ask the exchanges. Iconomi team can't list tokens on exchanges, exchanges can."

You listed only cryptocurrency tokens. I think it's not wise to have whole portfolio only of cyptocurrencies. It's better to have some part also in projects that solve different problems than just making payment transfers.

And remeber it's not neccessary BTC will be the king forever. We don't drive around in these anymore:

So why do you think would we use BTC forever. As it has the slowest and most expensive transactions, offers no privacy, can't be used as platform for other projects. Basically every shitcoin can do better than BTC. And instead of solving it's problems and improving the technology, community rather fights over politics. BTC price will rise for as long as people will be stupid enough to throw their money in it. But once it runs of fresh money it will crash big time.

Once the transaction has been submitted to the blockchain. I think there's no way of cancelling it. Sorry.

I believe it has good chance of being $500 next year. Because hundreds of ICO's are coming  to NEO in 2018. And I believe they'll have similar impact on the price than they had on ETH last spring. There's about half less NEO tokens in circulation than ETH. So NEO being $500 is about the same as if ETH were $250. I think it's not too realistic prediction.

We must not under estimate influence of cryptokitties on ETH price. Remember what happened on 12 June when world realised ETH blockchain can't even sustain an overhyped ICO like Bancor. Now we thought with the last fork when transactions became fast and cheap that ethereums' problems were solved. That's why ETH price reached all time high eventually. But now as more and more poeple get aware that ETH can't even handle simple game like the kitties, and that's still far away of being capable of sustaining the load of all the projects that are being built on it the price of ETH might crash considerably.

Didn't research witcoin, but team posting some cartoons rather than their real pictures makes me feel suspicious or at least as they don't take their project seriously. And in a week of ICO they collected less than 3 ETH all together: 0x85E49AD719a539fb9fBb1dfe0ce9A2cc184D5C9f That's enough for me to loose interest in researching the project.

Buybacks happen every week, so tokens are taken out of the market regularly. But tokens accumulated by buyback get burned the end of every quarter. So it's every quarter circulating supply of ICN tokens drops.

I also count on US citizens because they hardly ever have chance to invest in ICO's. Now is their chance. And also the word of Charlie Shrem joining the project recently probably hasn't spread around.

And maybe today is bad timing for ICO start because Polkadot ICO has also started today. When people stop throwing their money in Polkadot some of them might come to invest in Genesis Vision too.

IOTA could be huge. But noone has done a crypotcurrency on tangle before so they are pioneering it. The technology hasn't been proven yet it could work. So they're a risky investment but if they succeed holders will make huge profit.

CarTaxi is definitely not one of them. Did you read their whitepaper? Does their model of using tokens really make sense to you? Or did you just read they compare themselves to Uber, so you think they'll be huge because of that?

There won't be any demand for their tokens because they will also accept other cryptocurrencies and fiat. So noone will bother using their phone to find some CarTaxi tokens on and exchange, buy them and transfer them to their CarTaxi wallet, so they could pay for towing when they could just use fiat currency.

Not any I would know of. Not sure if it's true but I hear some rumors there are about 300 ICO's coming to NEO next year. And that it would make NEO worth about 300USD. If that happens everybody will look back and wish they bought it as cheap as it's now. It wouldn't matter much if you bought it at 20USD or 30USD in such case.

It ends on 15 November or maybe sooner if it gets sold out. It will be listed on HitBTC Exchange a day ofter ICO ends.

Why do you think it matters it's Chinese. It's blockhain like any other, they will have nodes all over the world, not just in China. It's true Chinese make lots of crappy products but that doesn't mean they can't have excellent blockhain developers. NEO is excellent product, even if it's Chinese, the technology is superior to Ethereum. It has higher troughput, it doesn't upgrade by forks, forks are not even possible, their consesus mechnanism is more secure and faster than any other. That's why I believe many projects out of China will use it too. Of course it lacks adoption and support and haven't proven themselves yet that's why they still have long way to really challenge ethereum. But I just don't see the point hating them because they're Chinese.

I don't think no marketing has been done. But their DAA platform doesn't support "regular" users yet, so they probably don't see the point of marketing just the BLX index, which even isn't managed by Iconomi team anymore.

I'm sure they are doing marketing that attracts institutional investors to become DAA managers. They managed to get 12 DAA managers, some of them are big investment companies. You don't attract these kind of investors by usual marketing technicques, you have to approach them and negotiate with them individually. You can't expect they'll become DAA managers becuase they saw some google add or read some PR article. And attracting reknowned investors is a kind of marketing itself, because if they trust Iconomi and the word spreads many serious investors will also feel comfortable investing in Iconomi.

30,000 users really is huge number but from my experience - I meet many people that would like to invest in crypto because of high profits they've heard of, but their knowledge of using computers is very limited. And ask me how do I do it. I explain possibilities of buying on exchanges themselves or investing with Iconomi. And everybody likes the Iconomi idea more. So there's not hard to see how they got that many users. Now one of the drawback is they still have to buy some bitcoin somewhere to invest on the platform, but once fiat gateway starts operating (start of 2018 I believe) and once they start marketing targeted to "regular" users I'm sure the amount of users will skyrocket.

How many tokens got burned is written in their quarter reports. The Q3 report will be out by the end of the month and will tell how many tokens were burnt in the last three months.

I think Sia is good technology with good developers. But I'm not sure their price model will work. The initial investment for someone to rent out his storage is too high for home users to rent out the storage. Only huge storage farms might see it profitable enough. But since Sia aims to be much cheaper than it's cloud storage competitors they probably won't be able to pay owner of storage farm as much as for example Google would be able to pay. So why would they choose to rent out with Sia.

I know many inexperienced investors that bought Sia because it has huge potential to grow because the price of token is very low, not even a cent. But there's almost 30 billion tokens in circulation. So if Sia was 1$ it would make it 2nd place on coinmarketcap. I think it's just not realistic.

I don't know how experienced you are, maybe you are more than I am. So maybe you'll find the above paragraph unnecessary, but there's many inexperienced people reading these forums so I wanted to point it out for them, that low price of token doesn't necessarily mean it has huge potential to grow.
