Ya man, I always remember you saying that you're not into trading haha. No issue. Just didn't want you to end up losing money that's all, but since you've done your due diligence, I'm sure you've weighted in all factors and took a calculated risk. GW is delayed? Aww sharks. But our miners will still be shipped by the end of this month right? The mining difficulty has increased a lot recently, L3+ has taken a huge hit in terms of profitability. Hopefully, the price will offset to help ROI quicker. D3 still not bad.

My trip is somewhere around January. Working around the schedule would be a problem haha. Perhaps I'll go scout around first and get Dave Carlson to give us an explanation for this delay!

Bummer indeed! Sigh. But I believe that better days have yet to come *fingers crossed*

On a brighter note, WTT tokens are selling at approx 2.3X the price we bought during the ICO. Something to take away from this short setback at least.

Waited for days.. finally some sign of life

Found another ICO gem that will probably get really hyped up in coming days. The mainstream media are hyping it, especially in the US. The pre-registration ends on 21st Nov and it will take approximately 2-3 days to get your details reviewed for KYC, so get in on it early. I don't usually promote ICOs but this one could be huge.

Why not? Startups are pretty much blooming because people are pouring money into startups via ICOs as opposed to IPOs.
If you mean that ICO investments would not be as lucrative as before, well yeah eventually. Especially after regulations kick in. Thats why now is the time to really milk the cow.

Decent article here. https://steemit.com/dogs/@cryptoenation/cyb...-new-blockchain

I share the same sentiments. Been telling everyone I know that it's a shit project. Don't get me wrong though, it has potential to multiply in price and make the investors a lot of money, simply because the space is currently occupied by mostly dumb and greedy people. It's not a coin for HODLing but for flipping. I've been investing into ICOs for awhile and making quite good returns overall. Rule of thumb is to never invest into shitcoins/projects because if they fail to flip, chances of them recovering is minimal. Take power ledger for example, I invested quite a decent amount into the presale, and when the tokens were released, the price dipped below ICO level within the first few hours. But because I knew the fundamental value of the tokens, I was comfortable to hodl and after 1-3 days the price went 3X the presale price and I sold. Same goes with REQ, went down 50% ICO price and everyone was panic selling. I simply averaged down and now that the price has recovered, I'm making a little profit from it. Still going to hodl as I'm anticipating some news soon.

I was the one who recommended it haha so, of course, I'm going to be biased. But the more I read into the project the more I'm feeling bullish. Things might change though from now until then. I will keep you guys updated as much as I can, but for now, I'm convinced. They have a solid team and thats one of the main criteria that I look at before deciding whether to invest in an ICO. The other is having a working product. Since cybermiles is an extension of 5miles itself, you could say that they already have an established platform and user base. This is not a startup that's starting from the ground under.. they are merely expanding their businesses by implementing blockchain. On top of that, the incentives from the proof of stake system will encourage investors to hodl.

This is a good write-up about the ICO as well: https://steemit.com/dogs/@cryptoenation/cyb...-new-blockchain

Also just a quick update, they are offering bounty programs as well, so anyone interested can join. I did not participate in any though, so you'd have to figure it out yourselves: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2346767

Another good read about Cybermiles.

What for?

hahaha it's ok. I know a VP can one on one man handle them.

LoL all the "old gingers" here are pretty much either gone or silently lurking around. Why are everyone pumping XVG? Because Mcafee said so? haha.. If you guys know anything about Mcafee he's always high and most of the time he is just as clueless as most of the people in this space. Trade with care guys.

Hodling since ICO. Still plenty of room to grow. But hey, don't hold me to it. I'm not a financial advisor just an ordinary guy like you and everyone else.

LOL I saje balik jalan2 since it's New Year. 2017 has been rather surreal for me and my journey began mostly from this forum on the previous version of this thread. Still wondering if w00tz is still around. I'll probably MIA again after this. By the way, nice seeing you here again bro.. Happy New Year to you. If got fate, jom kua minum one day

You ancient dragon already la bro haha.. Remember belanja lou sang for CNY this year.. all of us cakap we want makan ketam until food poisoning.

Don't say something like that. Some crypto police here might report your post because they hate "old gingers"

Most of us retreated to telegram already. I guess it's a lot easier also la to discuss in real time chat than to f5 f5 here every day.

Hi guys. I come bearing gifts.

As you guys may, or may not have known. I am part of a small group of investors (14 of us) that were/are mostly members here in LYN. We don't post often these days but we are still very much active on crypto space. We have transitioned from alts trading to ICO very early on and soon thereafter Private Pre-sales. We have invested in approximately 20-30 ICOs to date.

So lately I have been talking a few guys and since the ICO market is currently saturated - being that everyone is either rushing to get whitelisted or rushing to contribute via gas wars, we just thought that we might share some of the private presale allocations that we have to you guys in LYN.

We usually would have to meet a minimum contribution of 500 ETH but we got that covered (some massive buying power supporting us from the back). The allocations opened here will vary depending on the ICOs. Surely, our members and backers get the piece of the cake first and the remaining we can open to the public.

The pools will be via Primablock. It's a site which allows us to create pools using smart contract. You can contribute and withdraw from there until the pool closes. When tokens are received they will be transferred to the pool and you guys can manually withdraw into your wallets. That being said, the issue of trust does arise since you all will have to trust that I won't run away with your money. I can't say anything to persuade you to trust me as that would amount to solicitation and I'm no financial advisor nor a fund manager. I'm just a guy who has some "lobangs" that I'm willing to share.

We will probably start a telegram channel soon. Still discussing how we should do this. But in any case, I'd appreciate a count of hands to see if this is something that you guys would like? If the response is underwhelming we might just scrap the idea altogether.

Thanks.

Just a teaser of our spreadsheet (for the sake of privacy we have censored the names of our members and also the amount we have contributed)




Currently LIVE pools:

haha, bro thanks for vouching. Kmarc is part of our team, by the way, he will also help oversee the process and we will try our best to come up with a transparent and fair process.


Since we just started, I think in order to build trust maybe something like 0.5 eth. Everything will be done via Primablock. Example something like that:




Also, we currently have about 4-5 live pools ongoing. I think there is one that you guys will like. Just been reviewed by Crush Crypto (Te-Food): https://crushcrypto.com/te-food-ico-review/

To start a prime block pool we will be charged something like 0.5-1% fee. And we will also be charged a 3-3.5% management and brokerage fee by the main pool. So far, I've yet to decide whether we are gonna charge any fees or not. We are doing this primarily just to share not profit making. That said, however, I do believe that we ought to be remunerated as well for our time. In any case, these can all be brought into discussions and we will go with the majority.
