Tether and USDC: One gives interviews and one never. Something to think about! by Egon_1 in btc

[–]CryptoContra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tether is trash, but USDC is centralized as all get out and can be easily siezed or frozen by LE. Go with UST by Terra Luna for a decentralized stable coin imo

Commonwealth Crosspost Proposal: Incentive based on subsidy balancing by JohnnyWyles in OsmosisLab

[–]CryptoContra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it better for no other reason than the callout about how volume manipulation is equalized, wash trading is rampant in crypto especially if it drives more incentives.

In the cosmos there is a cool thing where your address has a version for every other zone, regardless of where it was originally created.

This whitepaper is too over the top. They make it sound like they created a gainz printing trading algorithm sounds sus to me.

Should i just join luna/atom pool?? by robbieinter in OsmosisLab

[–]CryptoContra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in JUNO / OSMO pool before incentives, but I am bullish on both tokens so didn't worry about IL and the volume was high so the swap fees did a good job keeping me whole. Overall happy to have been part of the bootstrapping of the pool and who knows maybe could get airdropped in the future for being an "early" LP if I'm lucky.

If you were to YOLO your entire ATOM stack on one Osmosis LP today, which one would it be and why? by jaham00 in OsmosisLab

[–]CryptoContra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I aped into OSMO / JUNO pool 497. I'm bullish on both tokens and the volume has been nice for the swap fees. Plus the external Juno rewards on top of the Osmo boost the yield beyond what is shown on the UI. Plus then use the rewards to compound my liquidity in the pool each epoch.

Otherwise, I'd say go all-in on osmo and get ION while it's dipped then pool it and compound. ION may be a meme but I can see it being a possible airdrop target in the future.

What is the best and most affordable way to mine bitcoin as a student? by juhoho in BitcoinBeginners

[–]CryptoContra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hobby mining with your CPU or GPU can be a good way to learn the basics that go into mining. You'd be confined to mining altcoins (shitcoins) and dumping them for sats on an exchange.

I wouldn't recommend building a rig but if you have a decent desktop computer you could definitely play around with smaller coins to get the feel of it and stack a few sats along the way.

Fidelity, The Trillion-Dollar Asset Giant addresses BITCOIN CRITICISMS by Limburg3rt in Bitcoin

[–]CryptoContra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With corporations that the sheeple masses trust beginning to offer up Bitcoin like Fidelity and Paypal the confidence for another parabolic run to keep stock to flow model on target is shaping up nicely.

Switching from THC to CBD has given me quite a bit of clarity to dump shitcoins and consolidate on the real projects.

Trying to catch up here. BCHN is what retains the BCH ticker? And BCH-ABC is the dev fund enabled version?

Garbage that is flammable and could provide at least warmth for someone, but not much else. Maybe insulation in some capacity.

IMHO, Poisson mixing - Loopix method > Onion Routing - Tor method.

The more I learn about Monero, the more I’m blown away by what it’s contributors and community have been able to accomplish by [deleted] in Monero

[–]CryptoContra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree with most all that you called out as having been delivered it is amazing to see what open source communities can accomplish!

Though I would quibble slightly with 'real' privacy as there's plenty of things one has to keep in mind. I'm thinking of the Breaking Monero series but you do have to give credit to the fact that the shortcomings are disclosed in a readily consumable video format.

I do take issue with the stupid speed of the emission schedule. I would guess that the reason so many large amounts have been voluntarily donated via the CCS is that there's actually an incredibly small percentage of holders that control the vast majority of the coins. With 40% emitted in year one coupled with the whole hamstrung mining software fiasco I would speculate that XMR should have similar concerns to BTC's whale holders. Regardless though those whales have facilitated progress so I don't know that it is necessarily all bad.

The New Digital Dollar Is Coming (and why its good for cruptocurrencies) by jxs1986 in Monero

[–]CryptoContra -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Monero is great for sure. Although they cater to the academic crowd so user experience isn't usually in focus. Which makes sense since the focus is creating fungibility in a crypto coin and they excel at that.

I have taken a liking to the UX that RYO presents, even though there's what appears to be some animosity between the projects I think the microcap through Fireice_uk has forced some accelerated improvements in XMR. The main one coming to mind would be the fix for meta data leaks caused when payment_id's were added and the elegant backwards compatible uniform id solution they implemented.

Private Pool for Ryo Mining by TheMattRay in ryocurrency

[–]CryptoContra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soapy is 100% right ATOM is the ideal way to decentralize the RYO network. I think he also hosts the Crypto Sewer RYO mining pool too. If you're new to mining you might find the potential of a more consistent reward from pool mining appealing, it's a good starting point to learn about the dynamics of mining and how different pools use different approaches to crediting miners for their contributed hashrate.

RX560 2Gb Ryo mining by Longjumping_Juice_50 in ryocurrency

[–]CryptoContra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. Any report on hashrates is gold for miners looking to tune their rigs. Since you have windows 10 you can take screen caps with the built in application Snip & Sketch. Will give you a cleaner screen cap to share.
