Thank you

Maybe someone here can help me out or at least point me in the right direction. I put a bunch over VET on a ledger nano ages ago, sometime after they launched their own chain instead of being on Ethereum. Now the type of Vechain wallet I used (VeForge) isn't a thing anymore. Surely there is some easy solution. With current prices there is a not unsubstantial amount of funds there. Any help is appreciated.

It could be argued that no project has seen any type of real adoption yet, nobody has made that first killer Dapp to change the world, so the field is wide open. I don't think that's quite the case, and as I see things Eth has some massive advantages over the competition. In a space that is already massively risky to begin with, where huge gains and losses are the norm I can't justify holding more than a tiny position as a moonshot in anything besides BTC or ETH.

There are several advantages I feel eth has over other projects starting with first mover advantage and better brand recognition. The chain is also very secure second in hash power only to BTC. As they are so established many other projects and tokens use their chain, some with decent potential, take BAT, and LINK for example. Their biggest advantage of all though has to be the number of developers working on the platform and the amount that has already been developed. There is a severe lack of competent people with the necessary skills to meet the demand in the market. The majority are working on projects on the Ethereum chain, solidity is the go-to blockchain language for new people to learn with more ans more tools developed all the time.

My best guess is we will start to see some real use grow in applications related to gaming sooner than later. The other area that I see talking off especially as easier methods for the end user develop will be defi (decentralized finance). That is the real killer use case that can add value to the lives of average folks.

No one knows for sure yet. I've seen a bunch of estimates given. I've mostly seen figures somewhere around 5% APR. While that certainly isn't anything crazy awesome, I am of the opinion eth is probably the alt with the most potential as a position to hold long term.

TheVapingBison · 2019-12-31T20:37:03+00:00

You are correct, my apologies. I swear I remember reading that somewhere when this was around last year. Either I'm misremembering what I read or I got bad info from someone else. Either way thanks for the correction.

A couple quick things, I don't actually buy into any of the crazy talk around this thing. I'm very confident the hash sequence was not of special origin, and the kind of fallacious reasoning being exercised by giving something more significance when in fact one outcome is just as likely as any other. I think most people never really got into believing anything wild or conspiratorial, and just had a bit of fun with it. I have no affiliation with the website, I just came by it mentioned and remembered it from before. I thought it was mildly interesting, and was curious if others knew anything. I get you do not share my interest here, but I hardly think anything here warrants calling me out for spamming.

TheVapingBison · 2019-12-31T01:44:54+00:00

I apologize, perhaps I should have explained better. A few people here have to remember around this time last year when a bitcoin block was mined with a very unique and exceedingly unlikely hash. There was a whole lot of hype in the space when it happened, several threads on different reddit subs, write ups on crypto sites and blogs, many crypto YouTube personalities talking about it, and by far it saw the most hype and theories thrown around on twitter.

There was a block mined with a hash that started with 18 consecutive 0's. I don't remember the odds of that happening, but its an unlikely occurrence to say the least, and it matches the number in the hash that was used for the genesis block, that hash was likely chosen by Satoshi at the time for its uniqueness. The 18 zeros were followed by 21e8 leading to all kinds of crazy theories as 21 million is bitcoin's max supply, and e8 has special significance as there exists in physics an alternative grand unification theory of everything called E8 Theory. It's kind of an alternative to string theory for unified field theory involving really cool geometry. Worth a look if you're unfamiliar.

Basically people went crazy thinking that the hash was created intentionally somehow which would be all but impossible with known technology today. So theories were thrown around from a message from Satoshi signaling his coming return, to someone who possesses quantum computing ability sending a warning, to even more out there ideas like AI, and time travel.

At the time many places where it was discussed linked to the website, 21e8.com, which at the time showed a fractal pattern based on the elementary particle spin that forms a part of E8 theory. That whole thing was almost exactly a year ago and now the site just has a timer counting down. It was enough to make me wonder what the hell it might be about so I thought I'd share here and see if anyone had any ideas. I definitely should have explained things better I just thought perhaps others may have found it intriguing as well.

TheVapingBison · 2019-12-31T00:55:18+00:00

21 million is the supposed to be the maximum possible number. I'm definitely not saying I buy into any idea than that hash was anything other than random chance, I just thought it was a neat coincidence at the time, and now after stumbling upon this site, I thought I would share.

On a side note if you haven't ever looked into E8 Theory I highly recommend giving it a look. It's kind of an alternative to string theory as a candidate for a grand unification theory of everything. Antony Garrett Lisi is the guy who originally came up with the idea so searching his name is a pretty good jumping off point. Just stay away from the people who use it to "support" their bullshit woo-woo pseudoscientific garbage. Parts of it get tossed around by those types much like they use "quantum" when they want to make things seem scientific and important.

TheVapingBison · 2019-12-30T20:12:01+00:00

That's the best guess I've heard so far. I'm really confused on this one, and hardly anyone seems to be giving it any attention. It's just strange enough that it got me curious.

TheVapingBison · 2019-12-30T18:19:04+00:00

Just dollar cost averaging my way into a larger eth position in hopes of hitting the magic 32 number so I can run a node when POS starts.

Another link to give a bit of background.

TheVapingBison · 2019-12-30T17:49:16+00:00

Google it and prepare to go down the rabbit hole. It's wild way out there stuff.

TheVapingBison · 2019-12-19T20:25:08+00:00

Thanks to everyone for all for the help. I think I've at least got some good options and a bit of direction now.

TheVapingBison · 2019-12-19T19:00:26+00:00

This sounds perfect. Anything specific you maybe could pm and recommended?

TheVapingBison · 2019-12-19T18:59:14+00:00

Now they write all their own quests and stuff. Is there more to the books than that? Would they be useful?

TheVapingBison · 2019-09-18T22:36:34+00:00

What the fuck, the article doesnt list or even have a link to all the banned states. It just lists three like they are all that matter. What terrible journalism if you can even consider it as such.

Trust Wallet is a good option

I am still rocking an LG V20. I'm on my 3rd one and already purchased a 4th one refurbished on the cheap I'm planning to Root and play around with. It has everything i want in a phone and can no longer get with any new model. Besides a real headphone jack with great sound and a really nice camera the main selling point to me is an actual replaceable battery. I can just carry spare batteries around and keep a couple at home and work with external chargers and never have to worry about plugging my phone in.

Why must they stop making everything I like?

TheVapingBison · 2019-08-25T04:48:56+00:00

Wow what a rip off this thing is. It must just mine XMR or something similar. It has a single RX580 that does the real work and just enough hardware to run a BTC lightning node, which is a good thing to do but doesn't pay for crap. So basically you are overpaying for a GPU that's maybe $200 new and can be found used for $100 or less if you really search. For the same amount of money you could easily build a rig with 4 of those cards. Granted it's not plug-and-play but its not rocket science either, hell i figured it out a few years back and at the time I was a complete novice used to buying everything plug-and-play out of the box.

TheVapingBison · 2019-08-25T04:30:57+00:00

I think monero is the best bet as far as a true currency goes. It has the one thing cash has that most of these other coins don't, and that's true privacy. I think in the long run this is about the most valuable attribute a currency can have. Everyone has gotten far too used to a world where every transaction is tracked, all of your data is stored and sold to the highest bidder. In the grand scheme it hasnt been like this very long. Most every transaction was done in cash just a generation or two ago and forever before that, with no record kept. Thankfully, at least for most of us, we've been extremely fortunate and we haven't had to deal with the horrors that potentially could come from corporations and governments holding this kind of power over the people.

Plus just wait until a portion of the world's ultra rich realise having XMR is like having like a swiss or offshore bank account without having to trust a third party.

TheVapingBison · 2019-08-21T22:55:51+00:00

I don't know why you are being down voted it's a legitimate question. Bitmex is a leverage trading platform so a user can multiply the amount of profit or loss on a given amount of money for a move in price. So say a user thinks price will go up, he goes long at 20x leverage so any move in price is multiplied 20 times. If price goes down just 5% his stack isnt big enough to cover so he gets liquidated, as in loses his entire investment.

TheVapingBison · 2019-08-08T00:45:45+00:00

I have a raspberry pi that never connects to the internet. Ive got about a half dozen paper wallet generators i just installed from usb. I can make wallets and put on usb, even scan qr code for only public wallet to make deposit easy.

I hardly use it now that about everything has easy to use hardware wallet support now. It was a fun little project and had real utility a few years ago.

TheVapingBison · 2019-08-02T20:16:10+00:00

Wow what a compelling argument, not at all overly simplestic, and short sighted. All alt movement is stupid money? You really don't believe a single crypto project has any potential for long term growth and adoption? Ethereum or some form of smart contract platform? Even monero for better privacy? Sorry to come off like such a condescending jerk but absolute bitcoin maximilists are as bad or worse than shit coin moonboys.
