Re: ### Initial Coin Offering for political party, would you support it? ###
I would support an ICO that was a Political Action Committee dedicated to supporting & encouraging the use of decentralized FinTech and Cryptocurrencies.
A PAC that lobbies the people in power to limit any legal action that restricts free and open trade with regard to Cryptocurrencies.
But, I am a believer in Objectivism. I would NOT fund/support your political party; which just sounds like another spin of socialism.

you definitely should add:
"- portrait of Marx in every room of every public building" and you're good to go.
LOL LOL Exactly. "- portrait of Marx in every room of every public building" and you're good to go.
I agree...This looks really shady...
There is nothing in their Whitepaper about burning coins, profit sharing, nodes or mining; or why the open market would want this coin at all.
There's just a bunch of crap on their medum page about a 5000% ROI if it goes to $5 one day; and NO FEE BETTING (Please)
I also am skeptical of any crypto ICO that isn't willing to be vetted fully by BitcoinTalk either.
According to the whitepaper and FAQ, the only thing the coin will be good for is betting on their network (if it's ever developed). So, what if the exchange rate to USD falls to 1 cent; will it still be developed (if it is, why shouldn't interested parties for it to be developed).
There's some fancy name dropping about "IBM Watson" being used.
I am very experienced in the online sports betting industry (know all the sports betting affiliates in the business, etc). I also know the basics of cypto (enough to have bought bitcoin at $100). I'm always looking for a good blockchain sports betting ecosystems to invest in. While searching, I am getting incredibly sick of all these "ICO's" with the sports betting and gambling name attached to them (in hopes of suckering people in).
Note: I bought a lot of PPY (peer plays) which I am encouraged by. I bought a little WGR which has a great plan (just hope it gets developed). Augur has some decent concepts, but I can't seemed to get a feel for fair valuation.
I wish I could team up with some experienced cypto developers to launch a platform (that is truly decentralized in all aspects).

The last one had dates of June 3rd - June 24...
Now another one...
The ICO page is basically a sportsbook log-in where you deposit and have a BTC account balence.
And, the ETH address has a total balance of $3,000. Not a lot of ETH funds raised?
Just creating and ERC token (called BOPEN or whatever) doesn't mean it will have any value, nor does it explain how you will share profits......especially when the business is already open and taking bets via BitCoin (and showing a bitcoin balence).
This doesn't make any sense at all.
All the red flags of a shoddy run plan or a scam.

Short answer, i don't know but it would be wise to air on the side of caution.
Ripple for example, was fined i believe by FINCEN
Users were arrested by the FBI in Florida a few years back too for selling Bitcoin.
(they violated Florida State Anti-Money-Laundering laws)
Also..
Cryptsy told us all (because i asked them and they told me publicly)
that they were forced to "report" users as per previously mentioned law.
We were told here on the forum that what they had done is
Seize the user in questions account then lie to them about Network problems / Fork etc
Then they would send the users private account info off to the US Fed's.
Which is precisely what i predicted and knew would happen the minute they started with picture-ID.
They were not asking for your contact info for no reason people. LOL
NOTE:
You all should be getting verified with your Picture-ID then Buying ANON coins like Monero at Poloniex.
..cause that would be smart
Plenty of cocky stubborn opinion but the problem is no one ever brings up the stuff i do.
I know more than this shit than 99% of you.
How do i know ?
For example..
Not even 1 single person on this forum has mentioned the shit about Cryptsy or the [Suspicious link removed]ests once !
ONLY ME !
By the way it was reported at Coindesk and the Bitcoin exchange was a cash payment via LocalBitcoins.
The Cryptsy comment can be proven (unless he deleted it) in BitJohns's post history here.
I asked and he told me.. among plenty of other things with Cryptsy + Crypto etc.
Such as the Backroom boys gang / Crypto Mob long ago that had a cabal !
They all use to sit on IRC together and discuss what is happening such as mass dumpers etc
..then they would decide together what they WOULD DO ABOUT IT !
This group even had M. Karpeles from GOX.
Anyone else bring that up ? nope.. just me ..as usual.
Because i know more about Crypto than you all.
I was also the one who told you all BitJohn QUIT Cryptsy. (Dedicated Topic in Service Discussion section)
Want more ?
Yup i was the only one around here to mention since the day the Tax Law went into effect for CAN.
I seen the news 3 years ago that Canada published Crypto-Currency Tax claim guidelines.
First country in the world to do so by the way.
I also was the guy who first mentioned the News that Canada was the first to get a Bitcoin ATM.
Anyone mention either last 3 years ? noooope only me ..as usual.
Jeez what the fuck do you all even do around here anyway ?
Seems like i am the one doing all the work
..and yeah i am FAT !
Fat with elite Crypto-Knowledge
It's fun pretending you "know things" ..but it's a GAS ACTUALLY knowing things
By the way i found the SEC's Investor Fraud Alert PDF on Crypto-Currency's the same day it was posted on the internet on December 4th 2015 and had posted it here at Bitcointalk first letting you all know.
And since ?
No one ever has mentioned it.. except for me of course
I am sure i could think of many others.. but..
Anyway.. carry you on.
CAN'T WAIT THERE IS OPINIONS TO POST DAMMIT !!!!11111ONE

I am considering taking a protege under my wing.
Stay tuned you could be the lucky candidate if you play your cards right.

Lot of talk about yourself...., those who have tell everyone how much they know, usually don't know much at all
Re: [ANN] Peerplays - First Ever Blockchain-Based Gaming Platform
it's up to the "community" to reach out to exchanges to request they list PPY Tokens. After the lack of communication, transparency and delays I'm concerned that there will be any large/real exchanges that will list these things at all.......The problem lies in that there is nowhere for them to go.
Is this true about the exchanges? Any good exchanges going to list this once the wallet is actually released (ie: link available on the website)Re: [ANN] Peerplays - First Ever Blockchain-Based Gaming Platform

You should be happy the Peerplay delay is only a week or so, because some projects delay month to years to eternity.
This is truly not a sentiment I like reading on BitCoinTalk.org at all; and one that sends a terrible message. I find this to be a discouraging message when it comes to expanding crpyto marketplace; and even broadening the idea of ICOs. Sure, there are successful ICOs, unsuccessful ICOs, and even total scam ICOs. The greater number of successful ICO's (while minimizing the number of large scam ICOs), the more the world will embrace the benefits of crpytos. Stating that an ICO like PeerPlays (which as you pointed out, has a good dev team behind it) could just as easily never launch, is not a good message to convey.
It's human nature, and completely inevitable that most investors will expect things to happen as promised on the timetable, particularly the launch. That will never change (as much as devs would like it to). This is even most true when talking about the non-institutional money that is invested in ICOs.
IMO, if all investors are to expect long development delays, it won't positively effect the ICO market as a whole. Even more, investors getting used to ICOs w/ good devs backing them, never even launching (ie: being scams) will destroy the ICO market. At the very least, it will negatively effect new money brought into the global crypto market globally; as a result, discouraging the world from investing in the countless number of promising devs that the crypto space has to offer.
Stating that investors should be happy that their investments isn't a total loss is not a sentiment this community should be embracing.

If you are the impatient type, then I suggest you join the Telegram channel: https://t.me/Peerplays
I don't think concerned investors are being impatient. They are just concerned that their money is in safe hands; and concerned that the ICO timetables actually mean something. It should be noted that good communication is not only important, it's an absolutely necessity if investors are to accept launch delays for reasons of development (it's the reason these projects have marketing/PR people). Communication is even more vital in the ICOs market compared to institutional venture capital or IPOs with underwriters. Quote from: CoinHoarder
The Peerplays blockchain was released last night, and it is producing blocks and running fine.
This is encouraging news and should ease people's concerns (does mine), that is assuming investors are aware of this news. Without communication, FUD is inevitable when timetables are just ignored or changed. Quote from: CoinHoarder
Only the command line version has been released. They said the GUI should be released soon (probably today), and that they simply had a small bug to fix in it.
I'm sure many investors are hoping its released today. Most have no reason to believe it won't be (aside from the "after 6/7" update to the launch date of 6/1) .Quote from: CoinHoarder
@redwbl - For someone that likes to come across as "investing in the ICO", you sure do like to spread a lot of FUD about Peerplays. How does spreading FUD seem like a good idea if you did indeed invest in the ICO? Take a step back and think about how FUD can harm your investment. .
When it comes to the release delay, I don't think anyone can say very much that will negatively effect their investment (or the future demand for the cyrpto), particularly anything that could effect it anymore than a delay itself would. I don't see how it could when the Crpyto hasn't even hit the market.Quote from: CoinHoarder
I think you are most likely a shill, and this post is a waste of my time, but..
Posts with updates of the project development aren't a waste of time (regardless of whether or not it's in a response to a troll). I also don't think minor delays will negatively effect PPY as much after it's actually launched.
Quote from: CoinHoarder
Peerplays has a good team behind it.
Of course. This is one of the reasons people did invest. Without good developers, many ICO's are ignored, especially by this community. This is also a reason people why there are delays with no updates. Quote from: CoinHoarder
Making announcements and press releases may not be one of their strengths, but they are good where it matters most (development)
Sure, development is where it matters most, more so when it's actually launched. While announcements and press releases regarding the launch date may be easy for you (and other devs) to write off as less-important, it's unrealistic to assume that a large percentage of investors will see it the same way. Ignoring announcements and updates (esp. when it comes to launch delays) creates the FUD (that you were speaking about) on it's own. Quote from: CoinHoarder
The community can carry the torch as far as advertising and PR
It is more important that they focus on development, seeing as though there are a few competing projects.
Myself (and other investors) can appreciate the importance for good development. I find re-assuring that development is being worked on as diligently as you say it is. However, you can't ignore that being the first-to-market, meet timetables, and investor confidence an important aspect when it comes to the competition. You can't ignore that fact that a proper blend/balance between business and tech is needed for something like this to be successful.

Re: [ANN] Peerplays - First Ever Blockchain-Based Gaming Platform
I'm also awaiting the release of Peer Plays as an investor (in one of my first couple ICOs).
I'd like to offer my .02 (for what it's worth), from someone who's been skeptical of ICOs; but also from a fairly early investor in both BitCoin ($110) & Ethereum ($5).....
PeerPlays seemed to have a good plan in place, quality developers committed, and a timeline with specific dates outlines. So, in that sense, the checks and balances appeared to be there.
When it comes to all ICOs in general, one of the biggest concerns/risks (if not, THE biggest) is actual launch....
(1) Will it actually take place at all
(2) Will it take place on schedule as promised.
Of course a 7-day delay is going to raise concerns with investors, especially when the delay wasn't actually announced until the day of the proposed launch. Limited communication from the creators will also lead to added concerns.
Others have noted that some launch delays are somewhat "normal". But, IMO, it's worth noting that ICO's are a fairly new concept in the eyes of many investors, as well as potential investors. Therefore, I'm not entirely sure it's been fully established as to what's "normal" when it comes to ICOs (successful ones, reputable ones, or otherwise). The sample size is limited (when it comes to long term success)
In the end, nothing is going to change the fact that when someone invests in an ICO, they entrusting their money with the people initiating the offering; and they're trusting those people to meet their promises. Most investors would assume that a team of quality developers should be able to accurately forecast (give or take a few days) when a launch will take place (based on many factors)
It's only natural that several delays in the promised launch date, will lead to;
(1) less confidence in the people who initiated that particular offering
(2) less confidence that their money is in good hands
(3) less confidence in the overall ICO market in the future (due to the lack of recourse investors have if the creators don't follow through).
As I said, I'm not sure if anyone can confidently state as to what is (or isn't) "normal". In the end, I truly believe precedents are being set, for better or for worse. When it comes to Peer Plays, I hope a good one is being set; and that there are no further delays.

If you are trying to get the transaction done quicker, then yes........or just use a large enough of a fee to send the BitCoin transaction faster
