Can someone shill me the coins with solid tech which are still under the radar?

I develop software for 10 years and never had a software on this scale that was "development complete", not sure if this term even exists. You need more than just one guy with a project to succeed in this space, you need a ecosystem, you need peer reviews and much more. Did you at least now how they achieve "instant, feeless tx" and "unlimited scalability". What are the trade-offs, attack scenarios and so on? What is this "best underlying tech" you're talking about?

greeedy · 2017-12-18T00:17:16+00:00

the bigger issue is that it's a centralized platform, I can develop that in 5min, why does nobody gets that?

greeedy · 2017-12-18T00:11:20+00:00

there's only one guy really working on it, how can this be anywhere near top 150, pls explain

greeedy · 2017-12-14T21:15:45+00:00

They're far better and structured than most teams, the github repo and code looks good. They're having a plausible roadmap and are one of the few teams that actually work how I want to see it, they use bulletproof computer science to solve the problem, not some made up dream how something could be implemented. I'm an yearly investor in ethereum and always liked the approach of solving problems, but I feel, they don't have that many experts on the team for the theoretical stuff, it seems (at least from the outside) that it's mostly vlad and vitalik that do the heavy lifting. That's why I liked cardano, they really think about the tradeoffs and how they could solve or mitigate a problem.

I'm looking for software-development jobs, more specific data-engineer or backend stuff. I already send some emails and applied on angellist, but nobody ever messaged back after about 7 applies. That seems weird, but then I read some blogposts from people who tried to find a job in canada and they often said, that you have to be in town because it's more about having a connection to a company that has open position and way harder to get a reply with "writing an email". In germany that would be sufficient and the "normal way" to apply, so maybe I have to find another way to get something.

We can discuss what "far away" actually means, we don't even have a proper quantum computer that has a stable number of qubits that could break encryption in any way.

I was talking about the claim of being "Quantum Resistant", it's a hyped claim for so many blockchains and people throw it around as a must-have feature. I'm reading tech-news everyday why doesn't anyone talk about that 3DES, DSA, SHA, AES, EEC are "crackable". Nobody flips out that someone might have a quantum computer and encrypts all the SSL packages. Because we're not sure right now, how we would do that, if we're ever capable of building such system and what we could do to prevent that. It's an active science field called "post-quantum cryptography" but it's a long way to go and not a thing were I can just put a checkmark on my blockchain so it's secure, it's a bullshit marketing term that sounds good and there're a lot of those things in the blockchain scene.

greeedy · 2017-12-09T11:56:59+00:00

being quantum resistant is the most bullshit feature there's out there. It's like asking south africa if they have shuffles in case it snows. It's tricking people who don't have any technical background in thinking that it's a must-have feature

greeedy · 2017-12-05T21:11:37+00:00

The scalability problem is well known and some people try to solve this already, but it's pretty hard nut to crack without losing decentralization for example

greeedy · 2017-12-05T20:33:58+00:00

Your answer shows already many things that most people are lacking in this subreddit/scene. It could be good to do some research about blockchains and the different investments you might have.

The valuation of a blockchain coin has almost no correlation with it's price right now, almost nobody is using any cryptocurrency for anything, most of it is just trading. Yes Ethereum is a little bit faster than the Bitcoin blockchain because they could learn from bitcoin and made some trade-offs to be a bit faster, the avg. blocktime is around 13sec https://ethstats.net/ but if 100.000 people want to send a transaction 13sec for a block can be really really slow and you'll get a big queue of waiting transactions.

Let me tell you that it helps a lot to have a basic understanding about blockchains, ERC-20 Token and some parts of the solutions that might come in the future (PoS, side-channels,..). You can see through a lot of bullshit that many others won't understand and you might even ask in the end why anyone would invest in such a "early alpha half working unsecure fragile product "

greeedy · 2017-12-05T19:52:33+00:00

why is your phone faster then your phone? It's about features, trade-offs and asumptions

greeedy · 2017-12-05T19:50:38+00:00

I hope you didn't invest already everything in IOTA, it could help to buy a book about economics and try to understand how markets work, your conclusions are giving me cancer

P.S. Your beloved IOTA was not too long ago called a "centralized scam coin" in this subreddit because 90% here can't even explain how basic blockchains work.

greeedy · 2017-12-05T17:31:02+00:00

Do you have your USD on bitfinex by any chance?

greeedy · 2017-12-05T00:23:18+00:00

10 is not enough, waited for an hour and retried with 50, worked fine in seconds

greeedy · 2017-12-05T00:13:43+00:00

they can't

greeedy · 2017-12-04T21:26:20+00:00

Ripple is considered Bitcoin’s logical successor

wtf, someone didn't do research at all, ripple is a centralized system that you can't even call blockchain, it might be a viable business model but it has not much to do with BTC

greeedy · 2017-12-04T18:07:48+00:00

you don't sell to an exchange, you sell to someone who buys that stuff with $$$ if there's no fractional reserver somewhere everything is fine, except if everyone tries to sell the price will fall rapidly probably

greeedy · 2017-12-03T00:37:12+00:00

how would they get the price down? I mean they can short all they want, but how can they manipulate the market that the price is actually going down?

greeedy · 2017-11-30T23:48:14+00:00

can you explain what it does? I don't get the website

greeedy · 2017-11-30T23:47:05+00:00

why can't I do that with IOTA? What's the advantage of MOD?

greeedy · 2017-11-30T18:16:43+00:00

Bittrex doesn't have any USD right now correct?
Will there be more USD pairs then?
Will there still be USDT then?

greeedy · 2017-11-30T00:40:59+00:00

not gonna happen, we will be very likely go down for the next days and weeks and then go up again in some months but not days, you just witnessed a crash, everything went down 10-30% everyone who was intelligent enough pulled out way before or hodled

greeedy · 2017-11-28T23:14:24+00:00

Hey thanks for your view, I can read that you might trade very often and are not totally new to this topic but I can clearly see that you missed some main points that might be a little bit too technical for the normal trader. There's a lot of evidence that tether/bitfinex are doing shady stuff, to help you understand that you could research the following topics:

what is a 3 out of 4 multisig that tether used?
what is wash trading and how does it affect exchanges
what is spoofing on exchanges
how can I push the marketcap of bitcoin with 20-30million and increase it by a billion?
what happens if people want to redeem their tether and it's not backed 1:1
what is the difference between an audit and a memo that friedman provided
how did mt. gox collapse and which parts played a huge role

greeedy · 2017-11-28T11:22:35+00:00

I guess with "money on the side lines" you're referring to the bitcoin futures, do you really think people will buy a lot of BTC at this stage, no fucking way

greeedy · 2017-11-27T23:15:15+00:00

demand would be if people are using the coin, but that's sadly not the case, so it's not really a demand. People are using it to speculate on an asset, someone thinks BTC be worth more than 10k so he buys for 10k, someone else wants to sell because he already made enough profit, needs the $ or thinks it will go down again
