I guess that's because there isn't really much to talk about really. Dogecoin is entertaining and mostly stable, does not table much in terms of innovation, but fun. Litecoin.... Hmm. I am not too sure how to feel about it.

Nice to see you around WooTz.

Itching to buy some more ether with this price drop but I am aiming to diversify my crypto portfolio over the next couple of months. Might sit this one out. Hmm.

In total agreement with you.

Guys - if you didn't enter eth before the bull run, this is a good chance. Don't say we didn't inform.

Coinbase does not service Malaysia. You might get feedback from guys here working in Singapore though.

7.7k is market rate for btc so that's about right.

You could get 0.5btc or any arbitrary unit you need to fulfil the number of eth you want to purchase.

Give it 30~45 minutes. The network has quite a number of unconfirmed transactions, and transaction speeds are affected.
All the best.

Money as in fiat? Why not convert it to crypto and withdraw it into your own wallet?
It isn't encouraged to keep your cryptos/fiats in exchanges - Exchanges are fallible and you do not technically own whatever you put on exchanges.



The transactions are supposed to be pruned after some time (72 hours by default, varies by implementation). Strange that it gotten picked up after being "returned" - So your hardware wallet gotten deducted properly, and Polo was also updated accordingly I suppose? Hmm.


Nah. Was a holiday yesterday. Give it a few days for it to clear customs. Usually at this point it's customs inspection. And even if it's held for tax purposes you'll be getting a letter from them.

Your hardware wallet?

I think what the author intended to say - competing with bitcoin in those specific attributes - since bitcoin is commonly known as de-facto cryptocurrency which currently is facing issues with transaction cost and speed. That part is nothing really much to read too deep into.

What are your views about Ripple kmarc? I do find the real-life use cases intriguing and very implementable, though not primarily driven as a currency alternative and a relatively higher number in circulation I am less inclined to think that Ripple's per-unit value is going to increase a lot over time.

Addendum: Yea I am aware of that screwed up hike over 2 months. Ah.. The joys of cryptos...

Usually Bitcoin has an inverse reaction with Ether (but there are recent signs of decoupling). Seems that ether is showing signs of being bullish.

Poking Lumens waiting for it to react. Lol

Whales, pump and dump maybe.

There are patterns of small cryptocurrencies suddenly increasing two-three folds then dropping back to its original value before the rally. If there's no signs of decent fundamentals or news of that crypto, increase in price tends to be inorganic.

PS: Not saying GAME is.

Can't wait for Consensus 2017.

Noticed a bit of the downwards trend when it started fluctuated up and down repeatedly - got sick of it and ditched my XRP, parked in BTC for now, which is showing signs of being stable (maybe because nobody can actually do much with it now due to the confirmation time? LOL)

Not sure if I want trade for the next 1~2 days - it does earn me money but takes too much attention. Hmm.

Aragon was an interesting experience. it ended in way lesser than 30 minutes.

I will take a look at BAT. I am fairly familiar with Aragon and what it does (as I am from a similar industry) so it did not take long for me to understand what it does and where it could head to.

The ICO earlier this morning did put some thoughts on my head though - there were about 4000 transactions logged on the blockchain to the Aragon address over a span of 15 minutes. This created a congestion and transactions were either not sent (so possibly way more than 4k transactions being triggered by panicking buyers) or pending for quite a while. I'll need to look into the transfer protocol Ethereum currently uses to see if this bottleneck makes sense from a technical perspective, and if Raiden elevate exactly this issue.


Also... amazed by the number of people on Slack who joined the channel 5 minutes before the sales start, asking for summaries and justification why they should purchase ANT. They might be trolling yeap, but I'm not sure what's worse at this point.

WooTz - shout out to you for getting BAT on my attention radar. Limited myself to 5 minutes of reading time but it does look nice. A few questions on my head with regards to complimentary ad-free browsing, but in the grand scheme of things it does look good.

More reading later tonight....
Cheers.

I actually find BAT to have a better monetizing aspect vs, say, ANT in the long run, but I'll need to do more read up. At work. Haha.


Liquidated my Ripple for Ether. Sorry bro. maybe I'll comment more over the weekend.

This.

Tattoo them on your body on different parts. Then remember the sequence to read them with a mnemonic. Like the song "head shoulder knees and toes".

Random thoughts about Aragon.

1. My first ICO - was good experience.
2. Instantly made 30% overnight. I'm waiting for that initial dump.
3.. Accidentally made two transactions (no thank you Mist) instead of one, so now I have a lot lesser ether. Liquidated my trading portfolio which went into ether for the short term.
4.. Aragon can be seen as disruptive. It most likely will go big or go flop. Governments want control. They don't like organisations where they have little jurisdictional power over. But if this works we will see a new era of organisations, workplaces, ventures, crowd funding; possibly even societies.
5. One use case I can see Aragon being used is by financial institutions. But that probably will require a global legislation change with regards to taxation.
6. I'm not sure how many people actually knew how Aragon works before "donating" them money.
7. Founders were too confident the sales will last for weeks, and repeatedly reiterated that safeguards are placed to prevent that. Hope they learnt their lesson not to overestimate/underestimate - especially with regards to their work. Like the DAO.

Yeap. I believe there could be another crash to be seen in the short term too.

XEM, ICN looking real good. XMR is looking interesting as well.

TO THE MOOOOOOONNNNNN lol


True. Past week hadn't been nice for XMR though, and now there's a big green candle so hope that gives it a bit of upwards momentum.
