I'm willing to invest into crytocurrencies but not sure how to start ones I'm ready to dive in. Shall I go through Bittrex, Coinbase or find a legit seller here in BTCtalk? What would be your advise?

Anyone knows of a safe XRP Wallet?

 Thanks!

Well if you knew what the other investors knew about this project you wouldn't say that.

Also the exaggeration is preposterous, you can't sue a blockchain. Hahaha try suing Bitcoin. This project like many others is decentralized, ownerless. Both projects came at the same time actually by coincidence. There is no confusion, they are a centralized exchange and we are a coin with hundreds of use cases and features. Centralized exchanges won't last long anyways. Even if there was we had an international presence long before they did (they started out as a Polish exchange and grew from there).

I think they are overworked, they have drafted a lot of people and they are still getting accommodated to the project and setting up a lot of different things at once.

I have spent a few days finding out about decentralized stores and markets as I see that been huge once Bitcoin hits the mainstream. I know of 3 and invested 5BTC into each.  I first invested in Bay last year and recently bought into Syscoin & Particl. Interest got the better of me about what and how they work so spent some on each of these coins slack groups. All 3 groups were helpful in answering my questions . I spend hours on their websites, reading the whitepapers and forums looking at what each offer and have created and this is the graph have created.  

I did try and be as fair as possible to all 3 and apologize if I don’t have all the tech they have developed but did give them the opportunity to tell me on all 3 slack groups and if the information isn't available on the websites how are investors suppose to know?
Upon reflection of the table I can say I see a huge gap for growth with Bitbay. It has the most features and the cheapest by a long way and has better distribution. I’m aware their marketing budget was stolen at the start so this could be the reason why its under the radar but  I think I have found a highly undervalued coin. Im very interested in all 3 projects and looking forward to Particl’s  first release, Syscoin’s mainnet release and Bitbay’s rolling peg implementation . From my understanding it will be a big competitor to Tether, but with daily gains of 1% to 3% depending on wallet owners voting.

Not sure if the image will publish but if it is then it worked! lol

No its varying block reward decreasing every block.

Sure, I will elaborate: anyone that submitted multiple entries, with multiple wallets, and/or multiple ranks, was deemed sneaky. You also put a '0' in front of your member ID in addition to supplying multiple wallets. Putting a 0 at the front of your member ID is 100% a manual process... and I can imagine it would only be done to fool the system.

There were also some users that purposely encoded the user ID part of the member URL, again to look different in the database, but it's the same member in the end.

Our system would not even allow you to submit multiple times with the same wallet ID, as it would say 'You're already in but we updated your information, thanks'. If a duplicate BCT profile URL was inputted, the system would alert you 'Sorry, but that Bitcointalk profile was already used.' -- these items in combination seem pretty straight forward to indicate: don't purposely tamper with submissions to be listed multiple times in the database.  

Can I know why I am not even in the list? I have submitted my application, fulfilled all the rules, and I am still not in the list? Seriously ?

I really want to know how the rewarding system goes, and also what is that, that I did wrong while I was submitting my application?
Done with the signature, done with the posts, had over 15 in one week, no spamming and still I am not on the list.

I just want an explanation how the reward system goes, and why I am not on the list, what did I do wrong ?
thank you for the answer

I saw the Round 4 Signatures and I saw people that are not even paid but they are on the Bounty Round? As for me I am not even there ?
can I know why ?
thanks

I had a change of signature because I made higher rank.

My apologies again, SlowGrowth has been very busy with real life matters (emergency). We really appreciate your guys' patience. Please do not worry, the entries are still recorded in the database, and bounties will be paid. Thank you.

Thanks for the like and it says

This is quite logical and deal with inter bank movement of money between banks and if the software is smart it might even
enable more liquidity between the banks in cases where the ledger between banks has become exhausted because the movement
of money has all been in one direction and for all I know the banks could reduce the transaction fee being charged if they need to fill the
buffer of BTC back up to the top.

I have absolutely no trouble with this at all but anyone lending "sufficient funds" and charging a fee is a bank and will incur costs
as they make a profit from you the customer so lets call "Channels" lines of credit and hubs by the rightful name of "Banks" with
routeing being inter bank settlement which really become settlement with central banks much like the FED or BoE

Can no one see why I am screaming

that's kind of an elegant way to express acceptance, that (n)etiquette can be ignored. Maybe no, or not in my humble opinion.... I'd rather see newbies to introduce, observe, understand (! - and show, that an effort was made to understand!), then comment (open questions), discuss, and then (if progress in knowledge is proven) allow to critisize. And of course don't insist others have to prove, how far they are wrong.
I think I am looking more at reputation not privacy.

On the technology: bitcoins must not be the only ramp on/off to the lightning network. Once I have coins in lightning, there is no reason to close the channel after every transaction. Au contraire, I could develop new business models around "my" coins in the channel. Last recently I discussed the value of having coins in the channel, while someone else needs to quickly send funds, but current congestion and fees prevent him to do so... And looking at the fees that large exchanges pay as per today, I guess they would be the first candidates to think about lightning channels (or cost reduction). Also bitcoin faucets, marketing hubs and regular payment services come to mind. I consider this to be the mesh network, which is clearly decentralized. Only commies would want to have lightning centralized:-)
Whereas I can't predict the future, I would think that reducing tx costs is a driver for moving to technology, in this case to Lightning.

I'm a small investor , new to crypto but i'm doing non stop research and i want an honest opinion on what you guys think i should buy with this capital .
Was thinking ETH , ETC(new pump coming soon-> japan DMM exchange luanch on 11 january) , Elix , PRL , Blue , AMP .
Any input and ideas are highly appreaciated .
Thanks !

Hello community,
Some days ago I observed that eth network feels badly ))). The TX cost rised to the moon. So, to get faster tx I should put 60-80 gwei for it. Maybe somebody can explain what the f* is going on there? Kitties, fishies or maybe china miners are closed their factories. Any ideas?

Hey Everyone,

I'm investing 10K with the goal to turn it to 500K in 3.5 years. Not going to be actively trading, just going to try to pick 10 coins at 1K each and hold.

Going for high risk/high reward plays. What would you pick? I know, DYOR and all, just wanting to see other's opinions.

What coins are about to explode?

Related to security they did start a bug bounty program. White hats will get up to 10000 XRP if they find vulnarabilities.

This isn't Usenet, nor BBS (I'm older than you), it's a modern forum that supports bbcode/bold. Learn to use it.

Hovis method has never been used before in a mass-produced product. Stop lying. Thank you for proving your ignorance, though.

PS4 has not been hacked yet, otherwise piracy would be rampant already.

Console APUs support hUMA (you didn't even bother to google it), so there are no memory addressing restrictions.

Now move along, because this subject (console mining) isn't for you. You're not even a console owner to begin with, otherwise you wouldn't be so ignorant in the first place. Do your homework and then we can talk.

"Lately" in crypto is hours, not days, right? Lol ... I was able to get six 1070ti's on Dec 19th ... six more 1070ti's on Dec 26th ... and six 1080ti's on Jan 8th.

For a start, read through the Beginners & Help area to get at least *a little* idea about what you are getting into.....
Huge point is not all coins are Bitcoin. Bitcoin is 1 specific coin, BTC. The word 'Bitcoin' is NOT a generic term. All other coins are referred to as altcoins and from there by their names, eg ETH, ZEC, DASH, etc.

Follow that with this area is for BTC discussions only and BTC mining uses ASIC-based miners only. Period. You need to post in the altcoin areas for useful answers.

In general the only thing different about brands and other models beside a little bit of hashrate is their cooling unit and their PCI power cable like 8 pin or 6 pin.
