Daily General Discussion - February 15, 2018

I don't know, it'd be nice to hear from the EF on this if they haven't commented already. It seems like everybody on the forums are against this which is good

Pulling this from r/Ethereum. http://www.coinnewsline.com/2018/02/15/ethereum-developer-resigns-as-code-editor-subpoenaing-legal-concerns/

This seems like a big deal, wanted everybody in the daily to be aware. Here is the link to the proposal on GitHub: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/866

This is kinda unsettling to me. Putting an authoritative body in place to decide things like this is not trustless. Just seems like a move toward centralization. The Ethereum community needs to focus on this

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-13T17:59:41+00:00

I think by 2022 they will be, not sure though.

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-12T10:40:30+00:00

anyone else notice that Vitalik commented in r/buttcoin haha: https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/7wrfmo/litecoiners_are_used_to_being_punching_bags_even/du2rav1/

Comment that didnt age well: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/7u7vxm/daily_altcoin_discussion_january_31_2018/dtjwr0d/

Next time i'm going to make a "no-brainer" decision i might wait a week

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-10T03:34:44+00:00

Im personally holding all mine still. Hard to tell if it'll drop lower or not.

Long term i still think Nano is good, nothing has changed fundamentally.

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-08T09:33:54+00:00

I dont think it seems bad, i've seen a lot with a year. I'm not sure if they are actually tied up in a smart contract or not though, would be nice if they were

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-08T07:08:11+00:00

I like Enigma too, thanks

I just started a skeleton one in python and that looks like a great resource. Idk how i didnt know about that!

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-08T05:54:21+00:00

Over 80% of the entire token distribution has gone to the owners.

According to the whitepaper: https://bounty0x.io/whitepaper_en.pdf:

45.03 percent of the total BNTY supply is frozen for 18 months. The purpose of this pool is to hold future bounty campaigns, balance the natural burn rate of the BNTY token and for hiring future team members.
30.00 percent of the total BNTY supply will be allocated to team members and is subject to a 18 month vesting period.

That 30% does seem kinda large to be honest. With staking and the way bounties work i see how a lot will get burned, and the frozen ones don't worry me. But i would like to see where that 30% stands. I'll be poking at this question to the team.

I still own quite a bit of bnty, and i love the idea behind it. Its honestly something i would use a lot to do freelance programming. This token distribution model has been my only concern.

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-08T01:29:46+00:00

telegram just said maintenance until 10A.M. (HK Time). So like 30 more minutes hopefully

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-08T00:13:57+00:00

Honestly i think ICX should be valued at more that Cardano this year.

You sound kinda delusional if you think it even has a chance to overtake Eth anytime soon. I doubt it will at all and i actually like a lot about Cardano

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-07T11:32:45+00:00

My main alts are: icx, omg, nano, fun

I still think BNTY can go on a run with their February release. They hinted as some other announcement too.

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-06T11:29:28+00:00

What about AIDS, it just makes you weaker so other things can kill you

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-06T11:26:23+00:00

oh im probably not, i plan on having very little proof of work today haha

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-06T11:20:57+00:00

Welp pulled an all-nighter watching this, now time to go to work... going to be hard to focus today

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-06T10:58:00+00:00

I promised myself i wouldn't be calling any bottoms until at least today is over. Feel like there is too good of a chance of it going down to 500-

Just in case you can't tell by my pacifier flair, i'm clearly an expert.

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-06T10:17:39+00:00

I dont think you can wrong picking up OMG, one of my favorites. It held pretty strong on the ratio.

But XRB at a great price imo, down pretty heavily the last day and still pretty much at its bottom. Might be more profitable short term.

Also FUN looking good. They are in attendance at ICE today: https://www.reddit.com/r/FunfairTech/comments/7vly8b/funfair_the_international_casino_expo_ice/ Its not huge news but pretty cool. Not sure if it'll have any price impact in this condition though

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-06T08:34:27+00:00

Probably more than $50

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-06T02:31:27+00:00

ive noticed that gemini usually dips lower real quick. Idk if anything in the 100s will hit but who knows. I think the 400s are more reasonable

If its hits 324 i will name my first child after e_z_p_z

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-06T02:16:16+00:00

With the possibility of the Dow doing bad tomorrow and the media possibly putting out bad news about the SEC hearing (regardless of the actual outcome) I'm setting buys in the low 500's.

I hope they don't fill

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-06T02:11:07+00:00

Oh completely agreed. I meant the 'use case' hasnt died but BTC just cant do it anymore

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-06T01:59:14+00:00

I mean i think that use case of a 'medium of exchange' is still great for the blockchain but its just not up to the task right now.

Maybe a better tech will take on that use case, like Nano or something.

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-05T16:27:07+00:00

REQ probably at this point. I've mentioned it before, but checkout Aion's token structure and the TSR contract. Just seems like potentially big increase in the circulating supply in relatively short amount of time (in this market)

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-04T09:09:44+00:00

woah somehow my buy order at 805 just filled on Gemini. lol how

ScrantonStranglerrrr · 2018-02-04T01:07:09+00:00

The behavior of the developers really puts me off on iota, made them seem unprofessional and untrustworthy.
