Re: Can something free be a scam?
by

on 27/03/2018, 15:37:12 UTC
Hi everybody,
Lately I am reading a lot of posts asking: is this airdrop a scam? Is that free ICO a scam?
So I am wondering how can something that doesn't cost you a penny be a scam. Sure, they get your email adress and maybe a ETH Adress, but how can you  really be scamed with only this informations? I am not talking about airdrops that require kyc registration, that for sure can be dangerous.
Cheers,


free project to be a scam how do you mean, free project it is airdrop. then what are you discussing besides airdrop? I think you should be more clear for us to discuss

With free ICO I meant projects which distirbute their whole coin supply for free (Like MTC). But yea you are right, these things are  basically a airdrop...

What just happened with the ELIXIR Telegram Group
by

on 06/03/2018, 20:30:33 UTC
So this was extremely strange.
I was on the official ELIXIR Chat and suddenly the Telegram support posted the announcement of the TON ICO Phase 1. Then a Admin kicked Support out of the Group and seconds after the whole Group was gone.
I checked in the other Cryptocurrency groups but there was no such announcement...
Has anyone else seen that? Was that a legit announcement of the TON ICO?

Electroneum released mobile mining App on Android and Apple. That's looks pretty cool. Have you tried that and what do you think about that?

Well I have an Android Phone. May I ask if this mobile mining is profitable or not? Will be the mobile mining give so much stress on my mobile phone that will cost for my mobile phone to be defective or not? Thank you so much in advance.

I use it since about 24 hours and I earned 0.04 ETN. Sooo it is like I expectet pretty useles and more like a little fun gimmick
And regards the stress on your phone:


Jesus Christ. Have you actually read any of the posts? Its simulated mining!!!!

I've come to the conclusion that no one actually reads any of the posts in threads and just posts based on the first message.

Dude I get ya! I think the times of constructive discussions on this forum are over...

The info in the app says: "Your mobile phone doesn't actually mine like a desktop miner would, instead we benchmark your device and allocate it with a hashrate that it would be able to acheive if it were actually mining. You will then be allocated the amount of ETN you would receive if you actually mined a block."

The question why it is not actually mining is answered: "Mobile phones are not built to withstand or cope with the complex calculations required to perform actual crypto mining, your phone would overheat very quickly and potentially damage hardware. So instead we give you a mining experience which has all the rewards of actual mining with none of the complexities of having to setup mining software, a mining rig, ventilation etc."

Sounds nice but i don't get why they would do that. They don't use your phones calculating power for anything, they are really just simulating it.

I downloaded the app about an hour ago and started "mining". So far i got 0 ETN... I have a Moto G4+ which "runs" at 12 H/s. So far it doesn't get hot or stresses the battery. I will let it run overnight and see how much it makes, but I don't think that it is more than a fun gimmick.

Marinecoin doesn't have a Airdrop but a free ICO right now which is pretty much the same i guess. All you have to do is help a little with the promotion and you get a ton of free coins. Also this might become a giant in the near future since it has really promising tec, extremely fast transactions and great scalability. You shold definetely check it out: https://marineco.in/ico

Re: The next 100x-1000x coin?
by

on 23/02/2018, 19:37:38 UTC
I don't think any coin can 100x unless nobody knows about it nowadays especially with all these regulations that will happen in 2018, but for a nice 5-10x coin I think prl is a possibility, 10x would put it at a 1 billion market cap which is highly unlikely imo.

One of the coins nobody knows about yet is Marinecoin. Right now you can get a lot of free coins in the free ICO. Check here: https://marineco.in/ico
I think this one can definetely go to the moon in the near future.

Also the ICO is free, you only have to help with promotion.
Definetely a coin to watch and hodl in 2018.

Marinecoin looks also very promising. Their ICO is online now and the best thing is you don't even have to pay something. It is completely free. All you have to do is help them with promoting.
Beside that the tec behind it also looks great. I am really confident about this one to go big. Check here: https://marineco.in/ico

Re: IOTA - Thousands of Wallets Compromised and Funds Stolen

I am surprised how few major crypto news sites are reporting about this. Only ccn so far AFAIK. (not to be confused with CNN)

Maybe it is because the information spreads slowly because there is no official statement from IOTA.

Re: Ever dreamed about Bitcoin?
by

on 18/01/2018, 18:56:46 UTC
Have you dreamed about Bitcoin before? Well, recently I dreamed that someone sent me 5 BTC to my Mycelium wallet. I told my friend (in the dream) that those Bitcoin worth around 3000 USD. If that was true ... One Bitcoin is equal to 600 USD in my dream.

Well, I hope the dream come true one day - be it free 5 BTC or 600 USD per Bitcoin.

I do regulary. In the morning when I am half awake/half asleep I dream (very realistic) that I check coinmarketcap (as every morning befor getting up) and my whole portfolio went up a few thousand %. Always a bit discouraging when I see the real numbers afterwards...

I will buy some CAPP and Oyster Pearl. Sadly I don't have much cash left to invest since I bought some alts last week Angry
But I think these two will rise massive within the next 1-2 Month. NVIDIA announced a Partnership with CAPP and Oyster will launch its test net end of January.

Does anyone has a idea WHY the price dropped so hard today? I mean they just got their new website online and doesn't that normally lead to a rise?

Well the consolidation of the market, the Korea ban fud and the KuCoin Bitcoin Diamond fud are mostly reasons for this... Lot's of young & unexperienced investors pulled out causing this huge decrease!

Happened to many good projects like Elixir as well. My portfolio nearly decreased by 45% nevertheless I am going to hold all of my promising coins and I am sure they will recover latest end of February.. Undecided

as you can see... nearly the whole crypto market is going down, its a normal reaction... a crash would be bigger..!
We are all spoiled by the big moves Smiley ... dont panic, just hold !!


No Oyster to hold here yet, but I sure will buy some soon. I will just wait a few more days i think, right now it looks like it will drop even lower...

Re: End of 2018 bitcoin price
by
jakecoins
on 07/01/2018, 16:43:30 UTC
I think the price is going to rise relatively fast to 20000 to 30000 within the next weeks (or month). After that a lot of long time hodler will sell their BTC due to the fact that BTC became obsolete (time and transaction fees). It is possible that after a certain price level between 20k and 30k is reached a massive correction will come.
Then ether the price keeps low for a very long time (or forever) or enough investors use the low price to invest and the price will go up again.
So my prediction --> BTC <30k at the end of 2018 but it is going to be exciting
