This is a really good resource! Thanks for sharing.
 And does anyone know any similar resources for smart contract-related stuff? I know things like DeFi are becoming big now.

Hi,

I have been working on a crypto project for a while now. Apart from crypto news websites and good podcasts like the Unchained /Epicenter Podcast, what advanced resources are out there to learn more about blockchain and cryptocurrency?

I've been involved in crypto for more than 5 years, and I would really like to find technical and advanced level knowledge/insight to take my understanding of the subject to the next level. Please let me know if you know of any good resources (Medium and interviews with figureheads are good but they can only go so far).

So i heard about this coin recently, how secure is the chat compared to existing alteratives like Telegram?
Thanks for your opinions.

I appreciate the information but for this verification a voicemail with a code is required.

My PM limit per hour has been reached.
I have paid you again but it is not working. Can you give me the code in about 12 hours?

Sorry man, one time thing.

I need someone's phone for a verification code. Once this is done, i will send you 0.001 btc.
Please PM me if you are interested.

Are the details you using for ID stolen? It seems weird that people you know would volunteer their information? Asking because I think that would put some people off.

Oh that's weird, my comment deleted along with the other guys. Lots of people find a coin that seems to be "successful" pricewise,  something like swiscoin or e-dinar coin, which  ranked in the top 20 altcoins, but clearly is a scam.

Just use the most well-known sites, coinpayments seems fine to use. Makes your chance of getting scammed less likely.
Be aware that all the sites like this charge some small fee on each payment or they will demand a fee to use their payment processor. Make sure you check which website is offering the lowest fees (and is well-known).

1. My guess is that enough people and developers wanted to, they could. However, mining has become such a big business for so many people and companies that wouldn't make sense. Also, you require major changes to bitcoin which wouldn't be worth it.
2. Yes, there is an advantage (slight) because no power is wasted on mining machines, which are solving problems for no tangible reason. POS means you can use your coins to "stake" and earn more, and the more you have the easier it is.
It was meant to stop there being such large differences in the amount of currency people had (too few have too many btc), but it's not that effective.

Honestly, I appreciate the input. I have my opinion, but it was interesting to see why people support (dash, monero etc) and the reasons. I think PIVX will not overtake Dash in same way that Etc will never overtake ETH.

What do you mean they have trusted set-ups? Are you referring to fact that people know the Dash team's names and identities.
Also, do you know why the original Monero dev guy disappeared? (not a trick question, I heard something about this).

I've seen a lot of shilling on this forum, and I can't tell where it ends.
Can someone tell me the positives and negatives of Dash, Monero and Zcash?
Is one more anonymous than the other?

If I be honest, this is not really a surprise. I've heard about people selling Monero RATs before on this forum. Essentially the program mines coins on the victim's computer, resulting in a botnet of Monero miner. Not really a Monero supporter, but why does it matter, these criminal activities are expected if a coin is anonymous.

I think this is very unlikely to happen. If they were to ban bitcoin and other related currencies, they would only serve to hinder own technology, because suddenly ideas of block chains that the banks use would also be restricted. It would be unpopular move. (Sorry about the bad English)>
